Chapter 51: The Collapse of the Empire

"It is said that after Emperor Huan's cholera, there were many refugees in the Han Empire at that time, and there were many dissatisfaction with the imperial court in some areas, but it could not affect the overall situation. Emperor Ling took over, because of his young age, the party of scholars and eunuchs in the court often assassinated and fought on a small scale, but for the Han Empire, which had a population of nearly 5 billion and nearly 100 million soldiers and horses at that time, this could not move the foundation of the Han Dynasty at all, so although the empire has appeared The symbol of the building will fall, but for the court with a large number of famous generals and capable ministers, it is simply some small troubles. How much of a threat could the rebellious civilians without elite soldiers be to the Han court? It only takes a subordinate soldier to easily kill them in quality and quantity. Emperor Meng Chang seemed to have slowly fallen into the era of the Han Empire's intimidation, and his face was full of inexplicable envy and admiration.

Thinking that the entire Blue Continent had a population of 5 billion and 100 million elite soldiers under the control of the Han Empire at that time, just thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel worshiped for my ancestors, how many generations of hard work would it take to dominate such a big world! But why did such a powerful empire decline so quickly? When Emperor Ling, what happened to shake the Han Empire that was full of elite soldiers at that time?

"But, father, why did the Han Empire fall apart so quickly at that time? Could it be that all the generals stationed abroad have turned their backs on the Han Empire and attacked it? ”

Come to think of it, there is only such an unreasonable but most reasonable explanation.

"Hehe, I think everyone who knows about this from that time has wondered why it happened, four hundred years of rule! Four hundred years of solid rule! How can there be so many anti-thieves, and those anti-thieves don't know where to gather so many elite soldiers! The soldiers and horses everywhere couldn't stop the attack of those anti-thieves or martyred or surrendered! ”

Meng Chang, who was still nostalgic for the grand occasion at that time, heard Meng Li's question, and his face changed like a storm and clouds, turning into a hideous and fearful thing that Meng Li had never seen before! That's right, the fierceness of anger and the fear of the strength of the rebels!

"How many good soldiers are there? My Han Empire has 100 million elite soldiers, even if those traitors are brave soldiers, what is the hindrance to the huge empire? Meng Li looked at the emperor's hideous face and couldn't help but ask this question, which also made him curious.

That's 100 million elite soldiers, how could they not stop the attack of the thieves, Meng Li is really eager to know what turning point has occurred in that period of history, and he seems to vaguely feel that that history is unusual, perhaps, it has something to do with his appearance in this world!

Meng Chang, whose lips trembled, said such a shocking fact in Meng Li's incredulous gaze.

Before the rebels revolted, the sky was dark for seven days in a row, and everyone thought that the heavens were angry and wanted to punish the world. This is a folk saying, but the record of the Han kingdom is like this.

"Your Majesty, the seven stars are aligned, it is an evil omen in the world, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen, according to the historical records, it is a troubled time, we should send soldiers and horses from all over the country to defend Luoyang!" The historian in charge of recording the emperor's departure made a way to the emperor on that day.

"Hmph, historical records? An evil omen? My Han Empire has strong soldiers and horses, and there are endless numbers of famous ministers and good generals, where will there be danger! "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still knows what the historian said, it is a classic book passed down from generation to generation by the Han family, and it is written that the turbulent situation of the Han court will have a catastrophe in four hundred years! However, although he was absurd and knew his stable rule, Emperor Ling of Han still did not shrink the soldiers and horses in various places as written in the historical books.

"Your Majesty~" The historian knelt down and wept blood and kowtowed.

"Don't go back yet! Where will I be in danger in Hanting! The historical books also say that the Han family has been in the country for at least a thousand years, and if the catastrophe can cut off the luck of my Han family, how can I let my royal family continue to survive in the world! "Although Emperor Han Ling is incompetent, he is an emperor anyway, and where can the courtiers below be fooled by the emperor's mental tricks and scheming.

……

Seven days later, the sky cleared, but all the thieves in the world rose up, attacking cities and counties, and uprooting villages and states. The Han army in the world collapsed one after another as if it had become a paper paste in an instant, and most of the famous generals died on the battlefield or surrendered to the thieves. In one month, only the Sili region of the thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty was still under the control of the Han court.

"Your Majesty, Historical Books!" Looking at the pillar where the historian died seven days ago, Sima Fang, the newly appointed historian, couldn't help but remind.

"Haha~" Continuous laughter popped out of Emperor Han Ling's mouth, and all the courtiers could hear it, it was a bitter smile, a helpless bitter smile!

"陛xià! In the history books, my Hanting still has a 600-year-old national ancestry, and there is no hope of dying the country! Sima Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the blood quickly stained the floor tiles of the hall, which was bright red and dazzling.

"Big man! Great Han! I, Liu Hong, am a sinner of the Han Dynasty! Slowly, Emperor Han Ling left tears of grief, how could he not regret the destruction of such a powerful empire at his hands! The mighty man made him what he is now, what face does he have to face the ancestors and ancestors! He still has the face to go to the ancestral grave! He is a sinner of the Han royal family!

"Poof~" A mouthful of blood in his heart was stirred up by deep sorrow, Emperor Han Ling slowly collapsed on the throne, he was unwilling, how could the dignified and prosperous man come to this point!

"Your Majesty, we still have hope!" Sima Fang knew that Emperor Han Ling had repented, and he knew how important the inheritance of the royal family was to Emperor Han Ling!

"Your Majesty, Chen Fan is willing to live and die with the Han Empire!"

"Your Majesty, the minister Dou Wu is willing to live and die with the Han Empire!"

"Your Majesty, the minister Liu Shu is willing to live and die with the Han Empire!"

……

At that time, those who dared to come to the court were all courtiers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they expressed their willingness to go to the national disaster with the royal family! This is the result of the 400 years of rule of the Han Empire, although the edifice will collapse, there are still many people with lofty ideals in the world who are willing to help him in the same boat!

This is the powerful minister of the country who later escorted Emperor Han Ling to the northwest.

"Three Jun", "Eight Jun", "Eight Gu", "Eight Ji", "Eight Kitchens" and other ministers, as well as the three famous gods of war "Duan Ying", "Huangfu Gui", "Zhang Huan"!

At that time, the imperial court analyzed the forces of various parties.

Directly north is an iron cavalry led by a steppe man named Genghis Khan trampled on the border line of the two states of the Han Dynasty, and the two states of Qingdao and Hebei were also in chaos, so they were not considered.

Zhengnan is a 'Ming' force established by a monk named Zhu Yuanzhang, and his capable ministers and good generals gather to occupy Jiangdong and Yangzhou and plot against Jingxiang, which is also not easy to fight.

Zhengdong is a "Tang" force established by a landlord named Li Yuan, and his subordinates are also full of soldiers and food, occupying Henan and Xu Prefectures with the potential to dominate.

Zhengxi is a "Qin" force established by a commander named Yingzheng, who has incorporated many military horses on the border line, and is fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang for Jingxiang with all his strength in Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong.

In addition, what are the small forces attached to these big forces, so the Han court at that time had almost no way out, once these forces carved up the remaining territory, they will definitely aim at this division in the center of the world, although there are Tongguan and Tiger Prison natural danger protection, but Luoyang is not insurance is not!

So the ministers who discussed and discussed, and finally decided to bring enough grain and grass supplies and gold and silver treasures to Xiliang! It's full of mountains, so it's easy to guard! And there is no great power to save zài. It's good to fight down first, and transfer the forces, as for the subordinates, leave it to them to fight!

So the ministers of "Three Monarchs", "Eight Jun", "Eight Gu", "Eight Ji", "Eight Kitchens", as well as the three famous gods of war "Duan Ying", "Huangfu Gui", and "Zhang Huan" fought all the way, and finally arrived at Xiliang, which was relatively desolate to the states. But it didn't matter, the Han court, which had a lot of ministers, soon began to use the gold and silver treasures and grain and grass supplies brought to improve Xiliang, and then let the three gods of war one clear the anti-thieves in the territory, one stationed in the north to establish the "Han Pass", and one stationed in the south to establish the "Yumen Fortress" and "Yannan Fortress". This is the origin of the territory of the Han Kingdom today!

And at that time, Emperor Han Ling was weak because he vomited essence blood in Luoyang, and he was bumpy all the way, coupled with the remorse in his heart, after arriving in Xiliang, he saw that the little Han Ting, who was gradually stabilizing, finally couldn't afford to be sick, and he was crying and mourning~

Before he died, he told me that Meng Ying, the first emperor of the Han Kingdom, should keep a low profile, a low profile. Remember his lessons, keep in mind the classics of historians, accumulate strength, and wait for the changes of a thousand years!

The heir is deeply remembered the entrustment of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to change the Han Empire to the Han Kingdom, thinking that 'Liu' is too conspicuous and to remember the glory of the year, so the royal family changed its surname to "Meng"!

And after the thieves carved up the division, of course, they couldn't let that Han court survive, and they gathered soldiers and horses to storm the Han Pass, but under the desperate resistance of the three gods of war, it was unsuccessful! He also forced the emperor at that time to make many treaties and let the Han Kingdom join the 'Blue Continent Peace Treaty'! At this point, the Azure Continent has been stable for nearly 600 years, and there are almost no wars of annihilation and battles with more than one million soldiers and horses!

"Hehe, what an irony, let us, the rulers of the year, join this bullshit convention!" The emperor, who finished speaking slowly, couldn't help but scold.

Under the narration of Emperor Meng Chang, Meng Li was messy in an instant, how could the Han Empire have it, and the Qin, Tang, Yuan, and Ming dynasties also have it! What was the change in that day, so that those four dynasties that also had a short reign period in Chinese history came to this blue continent, but Qin was in front of the Han Dynasty, I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't figure it out, Meng Li, who had been complicated in this world before, was confused again after listening to the emperor's narration.

The founding emperors of these dynasties are there, but what about those generals and ministers? Will it be far? And those special storage zài, will there be them?
