In the Far East, Jilin, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, who has never been recognized by the Ming Dynasty, is in his shabby palace, looking at a map of the war zone on the Liaoshen Plain with his hands behind his back.

Ye He Haolian, the hard-working emperor of the Jin Kingdom, was thinking about how to completely incorporate Fengtian, a fortified city on the Liaoshen Plain, into his own territory. If this strategic goal is not achieved, his country will always be in a strategic defensive position in the confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, which makes him sleepless and uncomfortable.

Since the beginning of the Jin Rebellion, it has struggled to survive with the support of Britain and Japan. Two emperors died on the front line in a row, which brought about today's embarrassing situation. If the Jin State is strong, then it does not have a decent industrial structure, let alone comprehensive national strength, but if the Jin State is weak, it is sorry to force the Ming Dynasty to make this proud record.

His ancestors once bowed down to the Ming Dynasty, and even did not hesitate to abandon their original surnames and change to the Han system, forgetting the way of life of their ancestors - the Jurchens living in the Far East, most of them now consider themselves Han Chinese, and the main reason why they stood up and rebelled was because of the oppression of the Ming Empire in the past few decades.

There are mines in Anshan, and the Ming Dynasty, an empire that rose with industrial civilization, will certainly not give up such a rich land. Because the Emperor of the Apocalypse does not seem to have a good impression of the Jurchens, the Ming Dynasty has always been dominated by enslavement and oppression of the Jurchen race...... This has also fostered resistance among the locals, and has stirred up the ethnic problems in the region to the point of irreconcilability.

In order to prove the legitimacy of leading the rise of the Jin State, the Jurchen Yehe tribe, which had originally changed its surname to Hao and called itself Han, has now changed back to Yehe, but the influence of the years has indeed continued, even if the surname Yehe is restored, but the name still has to carry a Hao character to call itself in peacetime.

The influence of the invincible Ming Dynasty on the surrounding areas is simply pervasive, and its culture can subtly change the way a nation lives in its daily life, and even destroy the existence of a nation without swords and guns -- from the cultural and ideological aspects, destroy the foundation of a nation's continuation.

"Seeking Mukden is an act of war...... If the Ming Dynasty really recklessly started a war against our Houjin, how would I resist this powerful and vast empire at that time? If Ye Hehaolian didn't speak, maybe no one would know that there was another silent man in this room, and this man was completely different from Ye Hehaolian, who was dressed in a golden dragon embroidered long-distance run and had a money rat tail hairstyle, and was actually wearing a decent tuxedo and carrying a civilized stick.

"The Empire of Japan will be on your side, Your Majesty." The name of the person who spoke was Jiro Yamaguchi, and he was a well-known Ming Guotong in Japanese diplomatic circles. He understands the way of doing things in Chinese and is also very well versed in Chinese culture, and he often travels between the Jin Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and is a guest wherever he goes.

Since the Jin rebellion, the Donghai province, which had been subject to the Ming Dynasty, also rebelled and became an island claiming to be the Great Japanese Empire. With the support of Britain and France, it became a military power in Asia. In the process of supporting Japan against the Ming Dynasty, the Americas became the biggest beneficiary, and followed the rise to become an independent country.

In this world, or on this planet, there was once a real empire on which the sun never sets, and that was the huge super empire ruled by the Emperor of the Apocalypse during his lifetime. The country stretched from Japan in the east to Gibraltar in the west, and if it weren't for the eventual death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, perhaps even the Americas would have become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, only the central and southern parts of Africa, and the Americas were still controlled by the local natives, and the rest of the places had a majestic name: the Ming Empire. However, with the departure of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the vast territory made the Ming Dynasty lose the heart to enter. Internal intrigues, as well as the oppression and plundering of other peoples, have caused this essentially immature empire to fall apart in just 50 years.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was not an all-powerful person, after he reformed and developed the industrial strength of the Ming Dynasty, he did not break free from the shackles of Confucian thought, nor did he complete the liquidation of the feudal system - on the contrary, in order to allow his son to continue to dictatorship, he tried his best to improve the feudal system and desperately strengthened the system.

In the short life of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he did not leave a perfect education system for the Ming Dynasty - the entire Ming Dynasty was still a kind of sick glory built on the imperfection of the scientific system. After the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the decline of the Ming Dynasty became obvious.

Not all prophets and time-travelers are noble and omnipotent, and although the life of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is brilliant enough, he can only try to change as much as possible what he is capable of innovating, and he chooses to accept those tricky or systems that he cannot pry with his own strength at the time.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty became one of the great powers, and after enjoying the glory of the title of the world's first for a short time, it had to accept the bitter situation of the parallel existence of the next great power - and those powers, none of whom were not pious apprentices back then, worshiped in front of the teacher of the Ming Dynasty, and learned the next skill hard before leaving the door of self-reliance.

"The two battleships Nagato and Mutsu that have been put into service in our country are new battleship designs that have just emerged in Europe, and the combined fleet of the Great Japanese Empire can defeat the sailors of the Ming Kingdom and force the Ming Kingdom to accept the bitter fact of defeat." Jiro Yamaguchi said triumphantly: "However, on land, it is still necessary to deal a fatal blow to the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, a determination to make peace." ”

Ye Hehao nodded, then walked in front of Yamaguchi Jiro, looked at the other party who was a head shorter than him, and promised: "If my Daikin can really take down Mukden and eliminate this big trouble, then this year's grain and steel exports, Japan will still be my Dakin's main trading object." ”

"Good! Deal! Then I will wait for the news of His Majesty's victorious return! Jiro Yamaguchi came from the mining rights near Anshan, and he knew that if Japan and the Jin Kingdom could win this rising battle, then the real hegemony of the Far East would probably fall into the new country of Japan.
