No. 027: Otherworldly Conquest (3)

When the Xiangzhou continent was disturbed, the Dajing Empire, the pseudo-immortal world, also ushered in troubled times, and the nomadic tribes that rose strongly broke through the northern Xinjiang garrison, and the iron cavalry traveled all over the Central Plains.

The Oi Empire was heavy on literature and light on military force, and in the face of the rising sun, the grassland empire was repeatedly defeated, and in just a few decades, Kyoto fell to the enemy army, which is very similar to the shame of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty in the history of China on earth. Taking advantage of the fact that the Dajing Empire had no time to look south, Wen Xintong led 30,000 foot cavalry to attack the Tang Kingdom, and attacked the capital of the Tang Kingdom in seven battles and seven victories, and the sixty-one-year-old lord of the Tang Kingdom died of fear and fear. The six-year-old heir of the Tang State has reigned for fifty-five years, and he has many merits and few mistakes, and he is also a clear master, but the biggest problem is that he has no legal heirs under the monarchy and has never solved the problem of heirs. After the death of the lord of the Tang State, the ministers elected his nephew to inherit the throne, but his prestige was not enough to convince the public, and when the World Tree Chamber of Commerce used bronze artillery to tear apart the city defense of the capital of the Tang State, a group of warlords jumped out of various places, unable to gather all the forces to resolutely resist the World Tree Chamber of Commerce, so they were exterminated one by one.

Wen Xin was unwilling to spend too much energy to develop this place, so he simply and rudely exiled the stubborn opposition to the Southern Wilderness Continent, and then compromised with the local wealthy clans to implement the governorship system, and the inland and mountainous complex areas were handed over to the capitulation faction and the indigenous tyrants ruled by the powerful people, and the coastal counties were ruled by the conquerors of the Xiangyan small world, and Wen Xin only directly managed a few good ports.

From the sixty-second to the sixty-fifth year of Wen Xin's arrival on the Xiangzhou mainland, Wen Xin relied on the power of the Wenjiagang commercial alliance to completely conquer the Tang Kingdom. At this time, looking north again, the Oi Empire was shaken by the repeated attacks of the Grassland Empire, losing two-fifths of the country's territory, and the coastal Central Plains and inland fronts were frequently in an emergency. The Tang Kingdom was only a small country with four or five million households, and Wen Xin still had the strength to conquer the Tang Kingdom after relying on the logistical support of the Xiangzhou mainland, so he was ready to try the Northern Expedition. The Tang Kingdom was adjacent to the Dajing Empire, and if it wanted to go on a land expedition to the north, it was necessary to attack the Dajing Empire first, which was undoubtedly extremely unwise, and if the country was not right, it would cause far-reaching harm and hinder Wen Xin's future integration of the resources of the Central Dynasty. A simple analysis of the gains and losses, Wen Xin tried to cross the sea to directly attack the northern steppe empire, and won the popularity of the Chinese system civilization in a pan-nationalist way.

The overall structure of the coastline of the Dajing Empire is slightly similar to that of the Chinese coast on Earth, but of course, the details are very different, for example, the Dajing Empire did not have the Shandong Peninsula, only a raised hill similar to the mouth of the Yellow River; For example, the Oi Empire did not have the Liaodong Peninsula, and it seems to have merged with the Korean Peninsula to form a diagonal isosceles triangle like the Indian Peninsula, and so on. There is a kingdom called "Yue" on the northern oblique triangle peninsula, which, like the Tang Kingdom, was originally a province under the jurisdiction of the Great Dragon Empire. After the rise of the Grassland Empire, the surrender faction of the Yue Kingdom staged a palace coup d'état, sent an envoy to surrender to the Grassland Empire a few years ago, and sent troops to accompany the Dajing Empire. The Yue Kingdom Peninsula is lonely in the sea and the border is mountainous and not conducive to cavalry impact, so Wen Xin used the Yue Kingdom as a stepping board for the northern advance base.

War is the best catalyst for the development of military technology.

The continuous war between the White Elephant Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom was uninterrupted, and more and more grassroots officers realized the convenience of firearms. The strong demand stimulated the Wenjiagang Business Alliance and the Fushan Enlightenment Association to actively improve the firearms process, and the artillery was classified and professionally manufactured, and the handcuffs and short guns were introduced one after another, and quickly won the love of the sergeants and even the cavalry. The convenience of firearms forced officers to constantly improve their tactics, and the military formation gradually had some shadows of the Spanish phalanx in the history of the earth. If Wen Xin's otherworldly army is the early firearms army of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries of the earth, then the Dajing Empire, the Grassland Empire, and the Yue Kingdom are all cold weapons armies of the eleventh and twelfth centuries of the earth, and even if they are forced to meet the advent of the firearms age, they cannot touch the essence like the Manchu Westernization Movement. The Xiangyan World Army may not be able to destroy the withering and decaying, but it undoubtedly has a very obvious strategic advantage.

In the sixty-sixth year, Wen Xin's bayonet tactics drove straight into the capital of the Yue Kingdom, held high the banner of Huayi's pan-nationalism and cooperated with the Zunwang Zaoyi faction, steadily and steadily eliminated the factional forces of the Grassland Empire, and relied on the hilly terrain of the Northwest Mountains to intercept the reinforcements of the Grassland Empire. The steppe empire advocated light cavalry, and was accustomed to using the left and right flank cavalry roundabout flank attack tactics, and when the forward encountered a slight setback, it immediately used the cavalry battlefield mobility to withdraw from the battle, and then regrouped and charged continuously. If it is really hardened into a hedgehog, the Grassland Empire will never fight hard with your king against the king, but the cavalry will open like a net, burn and kill the battlefield into white ground, cut off the logistics communication lines in the southeast and northwest, and starve and kill the enemy army.

In the seventy-first year, the tactics of firearms against cavalry became more and more mature, and the introduction of new cavalry formed by the excellent war horses of the Xiangyan small world began to be put into use. The Grassland Empire to the south was unfamiliar with the water war, and the remnants of the Oi Empire were helpless, and to the north, because they did not understand firearms, they were defeated and retreated by the World Tree Chamber of Commerce. The head of the Grassland Empire regarded the World Tree Chamber of Commerce as a great disaster, and forced the Oi Empire to sign a peace treaty of loss of power and humiliation, and transferred the main force to attack the World Tree Chamber of Commerce. The Dajing Empire has been afraid of the Grassland Empire for all these years, and is even more worried that the power of the World Tree Chamber of Commerce is getting stronger and stronger, so he does not hesitate to capture and kill a group of capable generals of the main battle faction and ask for peace with the Grassland Empire. It's a pity that Wen Xin had been prepared for this, and raised the banner of nationalism in time, scolding the royal family of the Dajing Empire for betraying the country, the nation, and civilization for their own selfish interests, and is no longer worthy of being the king of China. The World Tree Chamber of Commerce immediately officially abolished the system of the Tang Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom, took the meaning of the Seven Stars in the Sky, built the Seven Star Empire, and declared war on the Grassland Empire and the Dajing Empire at the same time.

From the seventy-first to the seventy-ninth year, the Seven Star Empire went on a southern and northern expedition in eight years, completely destroying the Grassland Empire and the Dajing Empire, and becoming a new generation of central dynasties.

The territory and civilization of the central dynasty of the Pseudo-Immortal World far exceeded the territory of China in the 21st century. In the seventy-ninth year, the development of natural science in the Seven Star Empire was still in its infancy, and even the steam engine, railway, and train technology tree could not be lit, thinking about the difficulty of national governance on the earth in the 21st century, Wen Xin had no confidence in ruling more than 10 million square kilometers of superpower by means of information exchange between horses, boats, and ships.

Wen Xin has always only done things within the scope of his ability, and has no intention of wasting energy and suffering from long distances. Therefore, the Seven Star Empire adopted a confederation structure to establish a composite state system, and one country and multiple systems were implemented within the empire. Distance and geographical conditions are the standard, the farthest imperial civilization radiation circle kingdom tribe, abolish the old customs such as tribute, similar to the way of the member country into the Seven Star Empire family, the member country does not have the right to declare war and tariff autonomy, everything is like a normal country; The second-farthest frontier of the empire was allowed to be autonomous, and theoretically did not interfere in internal affairs; Medium-distance treacherous mountains and rivers area, that is, the half-cooked land where it was extremely difficult for the central dynasties of the previous dynasties such as the Dajing Empire and the Dalong Empire to rule substantively, feudal lords and princes, and allowed their hereditary autonomy; The closer familiar land, that is, the familiar land where the central dynasties such as the Oi Empire have accumulated years of substantial rule, inherited the feudal bureaucratic system and sought harmony and stability; In the coastal and elite areas within a certain distance, Wenxin has created a new system, practiced reform, and moved towards the future; In order to avoid the conservative aging of the empire, Wen Xin borrowed from the recent history of the earth to copy pan-national enterprises such as the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company, and organized the forces of progressive factions to throw themselves overseas.

The Confederate States, the Tusi States, the Hereditary Marquis, the Old Bureaucratic Jurisdictions, the New Bureaucratic Jurisdictions, and the Privileged Chamber of Commerce were pieced together into the Seven Star Empire under Wen Xin's will, and staggered towards a new era.

From the eighty years to the one hundred and sixth year, the hearts of the Seven Star Empire gradually settled down, and slowly accepted the Wen dynasty from another world but with the same culture. When the human resources of the Xiangyan small world lost their decisive position, Wen Xin immediately consciously controlled the exchange of personnel between the two worlds, although he did not expel the natives of the Xiangyan small world to leave, but no longer recruited mercenaries and engineers, and used time to kill the conquerors of the other world to reduce the influence of the Three Puritans and the Heavenly Emperor Temple on the Xiangzhou Continent.

During the conquest of the other world, Wen Xin was worried that the Heavenly Emperor Temple would make trouble from it, and deliberately sought to stabilize and control the progress of the conquest At the same time, although he shouted loudly for world exploration, he did not really support it, so his understanding of the pseudo-immortal world stopped at the two continents for a long time. Without Wen Xin's full support, ocean exploration is very difficult, and the Guy Pseudo-Immortal World is completely different from the Elephant Yan Small World. The sky of Xiangyan Small World is only day and night, but there are seven stars in the background of the night sky of the pseudo-immortal world, and the brightness is different. The seven stars, some very bright, some dim, some difficult to observe, do not guide the ship of the sea. At the same time, although the pseudo-immortal world also has a magnetic field declination, the three-needle compass, a navigation weapon in the Xiangyan small world, is strangely ineffective, forcing the indigenous explorers of the pseudo-immortal world to think about other solutions.

For Wen Xin, the pseudo-immortal world ocean positioning system is very simple.

Not long after shuttling to the pseudo-immortal world, Wen Xin used a simple astronomical telescope developed by himself to observe the sky, and found that among the seven stars in the night sky, one was a satellite, and the other six were all spherical planets floating in the universe.

In the interjection, after more than 100 years of operation, Wen Xin has long deliberately guided the glass manufacturing industry to develop lenses that are pure enough. It's a pity that due to the red-robed qi refiner system, the astronomical telescope can't be developed on the table, Wen Xin can only hide in the hut and secretly look up at the sky, and is surprised to determine that the sun above the head of Xiangyan Small World seems to be in the same position as the moon. Wen Xin also deliberately induced Qi Refiners to look at the starry sky, but unfortunately, because watching the starry sky was not conducive to cultivation and could not lead to wealth and status, very few people were interested in astronomy. Wen Xin couldn't do anything more obvious, so he had to raise a group of astronomy enthusiasts in the name of encouraging the exploration of the unknown, so that they could record boring astronomical data in the spirit of model workers.
