At the same time that Chen Wu was still stepping up the training of soldiers and horses in Longshan, the news that Longshan Mansion had been breached had spread rapidly.

Under his influence, the history that was greatly changed quickly fermented, causing a series of subtle but non-negligible effects on the original situation in the Eastern Continent. These changes have led to a completely different path in the history of the Empires game.

Imperial capital, Zhongzhou.

Since the Qianyuan Empire went through three dynasties, it has been used as the imperial capital and has a history of thousands of years. As the undisputed political, economic, and cultural center of the Eastern Continent, Zhongzhou has a population of one million, and its prosperity can be described as the best in the world. Xuanwu Street in front of the main gate of the imperial city, singing and dancing, wafting incense for ten miles, is the epitome of this prosperous dynasty.

As the current Minister of the Interior of the Empire, Chen Sansheng governs 20 counties and hundreds of millions of people, and he undoubtedly has a share of credit for the prosperity in front of him.

Because of this, every time he passes by here, Chen Sansheng's heart will spring up with pride.

But after the dispersal of the dynasty today, his mood was not better in any way. As one of the core figures of the center, he clearly felt the unstoppable decline under the scenery of the empire boss.

The 300,000 troops of Wuwei in the northwest are still in a stalemate with the cavalry of the tile spurs. These damned nomads seem to be very patient, and it seems that they won't take the Empire lightly until winter arrives—unless they find a particularly good opportunity. In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops are hoarded on the front line thousands of miles away, and they are constantly consuming the national strength of the empire.

The situation in the north is even more unstable.

Although there was no movement on the land of the Lena Dynasty, the Ocean Sailors of Lena fought a great battle with the Imperial Sailors of Donghai County. Although no one picked up the bargain, they wanted to repair the war-damaged ships and compensate the dead sailors. Millions of Imperial Gold Coins again.

Although the Inca dynasty in the southwest is difficult to achieve. But he has been jumping up and down and refusing to live. instigated the four countries of the Western Regions to cause trouble for the empire.

As for the Kingdom of Oman to the south, it is a major problem for the empire.

Although the Kingdom of Oman is relatively stable this year and does not mean to make any big moves, the more this happens, the more worried Chen Sansheng becomes. With Saladin II's ambitions, there is no movement now, but I am afraid that he is accumulating strength, and sooner or later it will explode more violently. Although the famous imperial general Leji and the Tiannan Army he commanded were reliable, they were old after all. It can still be supported in the past few years. But what about five years from now?

Of course, if it is only an external trouble, as long as the empire is united internally, it can still hold down the surrounding countries steadily.

It's a pity......

His Majesty Qianyuan Ji ascended the throne in 640, and it has been 31 years since he was in the imperial pole, reaching the age of knowing the mandate of heaven. Of the thirteen emperors before this, only three outlived him. In the face of the secret strife of the following princes, Qian Yuanji was a little indecisive, which was undoubtedly a hidden danger for the empire.

Now, the empire has another great hidden danger - no. Now it can be said that it is a disaster.

Civil strife in Taiping County!

The report sent by Qian Boming last month, Chen Sansheng still has a vague impression. It is said that Yicheng was captured by a group of rebels, and Fucheng has sent troops out to quell the rebellion.

This kind of thing has often happened in the empire in recent years, and Chen Sansheng didn't care about it, and left it behind him casually after reading it. He had expected that the rebellion would be put down soon, like in the other counties. What I didn't expect was that by the time I received the urgent report again two days ago, things had already reached the point where it was out of control.

Not only was the capital city of Longshan besieged, but even a complete garrison brigade in Wu'an was completely destroyed!

For so many years, the empire had never suffered such a big loss when it came to quelling civil strife.

When the news came back, the entire center was taken aback. While strictly ordering the four counties around the Taiping Army to be strictly guarded and not allowed to spread the thief army, he hurriedly wanted to transfer troops to quell the rebellion. It's a pity that the Minister of War Feng Wu searched all the empire's military formations near the Taiping Army, and he couldn't find a reliable force to pass.

The Qinghe Army in Qinghe County has long been transferred to the northwest.

The mixed cavalry divisions of Wuhu and Anqing counties were also transferred one each.

Guang'an County, located in the west of Taiping County, could have transferred a local garrison brigade, but even the garrison brigade in Wu'an had been wiped out, so was it really reliable to transfer another garrison brigade in the past?

If the counterinsurgency fails, and this brigade is also involved, then the situation will really be out of control.

Since there are no states and counties in the vicinity, the nearest and powerful enough emperor ** is left with only the city guard corps of Zhongzhou to respond to the tripartite battlefield and the Praetorian Guard corps to suppress the counties and defend the royal family. However, the mobilization of these two forces, whether from a military or political point of view, is too significant.

Even if it was just a division, the DPRK and China were arguing.

Chen Sansheng's early dynasty today is discussing this.

However, just as they were about to discuss a result, Qian Boming's second six-hundred-mile urgent report rushed over and sent it directly to the court meeting-Longshan City Break!

The moment the report was recited, the air in the entire Taiji Hall froze. The city government that has been on the throne for thirty-one years with Qianyuanji can't help but snort coldly.

In the impression of the most powerful emperor in the Eastern Continent, this is the first time that a local rebellion has broken through the capital of a prefecture!

The situation is even more worrisome, but the princes of the court are not in a hurry.

Now that Longshan City has been destroyed, there is no need to rush to send troops to rescue. As far as the present is concerned, the center is ready for the complete erosion of the entire Taiping County except for the county seat. As long as the county seat of Wu'an is not lost, the surrounding four counties seal the border, and block the thief army in Taiping County, the problem will not expand. When the battle of the Tile Spur in the northwest is over, the troops of the various units will return, and some will turn around and clean up the rebel army.

It seems that everything is still under control, and the Taiping army can't make any waves.

However, even a rebel army without a foundation can capture the city, but the problems behind this are very serious.

Has the empire's control at the grassroots level been weakened to such a point?

The empire's million-strong army, though still beautiful, is like a lush canopy of trees. But if the roots of the tree are rotten, the canopy will not be able to sustain it for a long time. Perhaps all it takes is a gust of wind and it will collapse. Now, Chen Sansheng can only hope that the Northwest Army under the command of General Fuguo can defeat the cavalry of the Tile Spur.

If a big victory can be ushered in, and the northwest of the empire can have a few more years of respite, it may be possible to reverse this decline.

Then again, when did the empire fall into this situation of being attacked on three sides and passive everywhere?

This sudden question made Chen Sansheng fall into deep thought.

The sky outside was clear, and I don't know when it became overcast.

It looks like it's going to rain.

………

Baling County, Longquan Province.

This is the county seat of Baling County, and it is also the most deeply rooted place of the Wudou Midao power. After decades of preaching and infiltration, Wudou Midao has already had a transcendent status here. The words of Shijun Zhang Fa are often more effective than the imperial government and the governor of Baling County.

The government of the empire is not without vigilance against this situation, and the Military Intelligence Agency has always been concerned. However, the organization and operation of Wudou Midao are very secretive, and the government has also been infiltrated strictly, and the governor of Baling County has become more and more powerless in the past few years. But in the face of the vast five buckets of rice Dao, he did not dare to take drastic actions, so he could only use negative actions to contain them.

This kind of attitude is actually unmistakably laissez-faire.

On the afternoon of the second day after the Imperial Center received the report that Longshan City had been destroyed, two Daoists from the Five Dou Mi Dao rode horses and galloped back to Jingxuguan.

In a sense, this meditation can be seen as the headquarters of Wudou Midao in Longquan Mansion.

Because of Shijun Zhang Fa's insistence, the area of Jingxuan is not large, but the scale is very exquisite. The front pavilion, the apse, the east valley and the west building are set up around the perimeter to be responsible for receiving the people of the Quartet. The main hall of Jingxuan is rigorous in structure, full of atmosphere, and there are various buildings such as gardens, guard halls, and martial arts fields in the inner courtyard. Even compared with the Governor's Mansion of Baling County, it is not inferior at all.

In addition, there are 800 Taoists of Wudou Mido Road stationed here spontaneously all year round.

Xiang Hua and Wang Huifang, who were very confident in their own Dharma protector Buddhist soldiers, would definitely die of shame if they were lucky enough to come here. The elite strength they have trained over the years is nothing compared to these brave Daoists. The former is not even as good as the second-tier city defense battalion of the empire, but these Taoist people of Shijun Zhang Fa are enough to compete with the most elite border army of the empire.

After searching the bodies of these garrisons, the two Taoists who had rushed back from the dust entered the inner courtyard of Jingxuguan with information.

"The people of Taiping County rebelled, broke the official army of the county town, and captured Longshan City?"

Zuo Tian Fan Changsheng took the letter, couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked up at Shijun Zhang Fa, who was sitting behind the Immortal Crane and the Xiang Pavilion.

This man in a Taoist robe with a calm face like water is the supreme leader of the Five Bucket Rice Dao. Even if you sit there, there is a smell of dust. However, after hearing the news, Zhang Fa's state of mind was also difficult to maintain, and the previous dusty aura suddenly disappeared, replaced by bright eyes, and a momentum of not being angry and self-assured.

He looked up, and naturally someone next to him set up a wooden table and spread out a map of the Qianyuan Empire.

Although it was still only a force entrenched in the corner of the empire, Zhang Fa had already begun to order people to draw a map of the world ten years ago. At this moment, the terrain of the entire Twenty Prefectures of the Empire is quite shapely, and the closer you are to the southwest of the Empire, the more accurate the map becomes. Especially Baling County and Tianshui County, they have already obtained the military map of the empire, and after the revision, some details are even exceeded.

Thousands of miles away in Taiping County, perhaps specific to the terrain of Xiayang Valley, it has not been marked on the map, but Longshan Mansion and the three counties in the province have been recorded.

"Even the city has been breached!"

Staring at the map for a moment, Zhang Fayu was a little incredulous.

What is the origin of this Taiping Righteous Army? (To be continued......)
