Chapter 231 Jinling is shaken

From Nanyang to Jinling, even the fastest means of communication at present takes twenty days, which means that the news received by these emperors and ministers in the Forbidden City of Jinling will always lag behind the status quo of Nanyang.

Moreover, it can also be seen from this that until now, Jinling still did not have specific information on Tianzhu's national strength, and they did not expect the huge growth of Tianzhu's armed forces, and the emergence of sharp weapons such as steam warships and rifled guns was a huge invention that was enough to change the direction of a war, but these were impossible to predict when Jinling was thousands of miles away.

Jinling was thousands of miles away, and it was impossible to imagine that Ning Wangfan would be defeated so quickly on the front line.

The Yining Wang Domain is one of the three major feudal states, and in Jinling's opinion, even if it is a little less than the rapid progress of the Anwang Domain in recent years, it will not collapse in less than a month!

Even if the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Ning Wang Domain, it should not be like this.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the war from the Nanyang front reached Jinling, the situation of the Ning Wang Domain over there had already become hopeless.

These were things that the monarchs and ministers in the Chengxin Hall could not have predicted at this moment.

This is the sorrow of those big empires in the era of backward communication technology.

In fact, like the Mongol and Yuan Empire built by Temujin, the Great Song Celestial Dynasty was also powerless to govern the remote areas of its own territory.

In an era of country, there is a limit to the administrative capacity, once the limit is exceeded, then the increase in more land resources will not bring about the growth of strength, but the burden.

In a word, under the technical conditions of this era, it was impossible for the Song Dynasty not to govern such a large country.

This is the reason why the original vassal system came into being.

Temujin chose to divide the vast territory among his sons, and the founders of the Great Song Dynasty single-handedly created a terrifyingly large system of feudal domains.

The use of the vassal system to replace direct jurisdiction, the continuous maintenance and promotion of the expansion of the entire huge colonial system, and at the same time indirectly feed back the Great Song Dynasty itself, this should be the most successful creation of the establishment of the Hai Song Dynasty in that year.

For hundreds of years, this vast and sophisticated vassal system has been functioning so well that people ignore its hidden dangers, and few people would think that it would be problematic.

Emperor Jingxing agreed to Shoufu's suggestion, and at the same time discussed a series of details, considering how to appease the little brother of King An, I am afraid that King Ning had to come up with some conditions that would satisfy King An, and several ministers even considered how to compensate King Ning after forcing King Ning to make concessions.

In short, the focus of the imperial court is to balance, balance the system, so that the system can always serve the imperial court.

After the Chengxin Palace discussed, the cabinet quickly made preparations for it, this time the imperial court did not just send a Zhang Qin to execute, the current situation, has attracted the attention of the imperial court, how to say that the imperial court is afraid to send a cabinet of envoys, want to come forward to persuade the two feudatories, without such a level of important ministers to come out, it is impossible.

Here, Jinling has just made preparations, and decided to let Ma Dayuan, the second assistant of the cabinet, and temporarily go south as the head of Honglu Temple, and form a new mission to mediate the two feudatories.

On this day, a new piece of news came, and the officials of the court were shaken.

In less than a few dozen days, Banda Aceh, Krabi, Phuket, Penang, Medan...... The Tianzhu army has already occupied half of the country in Manraka, and just before this news came, the Tianzhu Navy Division was still defeated in the Battle of Tanjung Dinghai Fleet, at this moment King Ning's subordinates have all collapsed, and in another month, when the imperial court's envoys went south to Dinghai, perhaps, Dinghai was occupied by Tianzhu.

With the current speed of progress of the Tianzhu Army, it is very likely that the mission will not even be able to stop Tianzhu at all.

Oh, my God!

Could it be that King An's domain wants to annex King Ning's domain!

When the officials realized this, it felt like the sky was falling.

At this time, it is no longer a matter of considering whether to treat the other party as a junior brother, if the Anwang Domain annexes the Ning Wang Domain, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos!

At that time, the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty was no longer even Meng Yuan in the north, but the newly rising King An in the south!

Whether it is to maintain the stability of the clan system or for the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, King An will be the greatest threat to the Great Song Dynasty. Just think about it, even if Meng Yuan crosses the Yangtze River again, it will defeat the Great Song Dynasty at most, and it is impossible to threaten the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty - the position of the Great Song Dynasty as the co-ruler of the world in the entire system of suzerain.

However, if the Anwang Domain was too strong, it would really endanger the position of the Great Song Dynasty in the entire clan system.

It's very simple, you only need to enter the Central Plains, King An is also in the line of Zhao and Song, King An doesn't even have to really start a big war with the Central Plains, as long as he can live in Jinling, then it is natural that he is the co-lord of the world, and those overseas princes, no one will interfere with the change of power of the Zhao family.

That's the real threat.

You are a threat of life-and-death nature.

This threat is, of course, more deadly than the external one!

Moreover, the combat power shown by the Anwang Domain in the invasion of the Ningwang Domain was really terrifying, and in just over a month, it was able to completely defeat the original size of the feudal kingdom similar to it, which was simply devastating!

Everyone doesn't know if the imperial court can do it if it goes all out, I'm afraid it's very difficult!

This kind of crushing defeat fully shows the strength of the Anwang Domain, the Ningwang Domain is so vulnerable, so what about King Jing, and those vassal princes near the entire Nanyang?

Will they all submit to the ferocity of the An Wang?

In the First World War, it shocked the world!

With such strength and such unscrupulousness, who can say that the virtuous niece who has just succeeded to the throne of King An will not have such a mind?

Now the nature of the Nanyang War has changed, and it is already the imperial court that has to intervene.

The moment he got the news, Emperor Jingxing suddenly had a creepy feeling, as if he was being targeted by some terrible guy in the dark.

Inhuman, Li Zhe, Li Zhe!

Could that legend be true?
