472nd Zhuxia Monarchical Republic
472nd Zhuxia Monarchical Republic
Farming continued until 1827, when the Northern Union slowly took shape.
In that year, the well-prepared Northern Federation took the initiative to declare war on the Yan Domain, while the Lu Domain called on friends to call on the Xia Kingdom, Wu Domain, Wei Domain, Wu Domain, Jiaozhi Domain, Chu Domain, Ming Domain, Nanyang Five Domains and other forces to form an anti-Zhao alliance to intervene.
Wei Dongsheng is not as greedy as Mao Jiuzhong and Yuan Fudao, he knows that Kyushu has been divided for a long time, and it is easy to win a quick victory, but it is difficult to be stable for a long time. If the tragedy of Qin II's death is repeated, will Wei Dong continue to be Liu Bang in the next life? Therefore, Wei Dongsheng calmly controlled the progress of integration, and since he clearly understood that there was no objective material basis for unifying the earth for the time being, he simply concluded a clause of freedom and equal cooperation with the 14 republics of the Anxi, Shengmeng, Luo, and Penglai domains, which were not within the unified goal, and promised not to expand the scale of the war. The strategy in Kyushu is to first actively defend against the attack of the Lu Domain, so as to avoid the fear of death and fear in the Xia Kingdom; Secondly, the elite order of the Northern Federation rushed to the territory of the Yan Domain, completely disintegrating the foundation of the Yan Domain's royal rule.
In 1831, the Northern Confederacy successfully annexed the Yan Domain and dismantled it into three provinces and three frontier autonomous regions.
Densely populated areas were established as provinces, and the frontier wilderness allowed the feudal royal families to continue to exist in the form of autonomous regions. After the annexation of the Yan Domain, the Northern Federation already had the provinces of Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shuofang (Inner Mongolia), Liaoyang (Liaoning), Jihe (Jilin), and Tashan (Heilongjiang), as well as six autonomous regions, including Wusizang, Yunan (southern Xinjiang), Yubei (northern Xinjiang), Shuobei (Mongolia), Lingbei (Siberian region of Russia), and Yanbei (Russian Far East).
After a seven-year truce of farming, Wei Dongsheng officially led the army to attack the south.
Because of the proper strategy and surprise, the southern offensive went so smoothly that it was unimaginable, and the northern federal forces rushed into Jinan Mansion in just two months. Witnessing the rapid defeat of the Lu domain, the southern vassal states were terrified and at a loss. While commanding the Northern Federation troops to steadily capture the fortress, Wei Dongsheng re-examined the concept of the unity of Zhuxia and tried to solve the problem diplomatically.
In 1839, Wei Dongsheng led the Northern Federation into Kyoto and launched a series of negotiations with the Xia royal family and the Xia cabinet.
In 1783, Wei Qinxi died and was succeeded by his eldest grandson, Wei Zujiao, who was the eighteenth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.
In 1801, Wei Zujiao died without a child, and his younger brother Wei Zufu succeeded to the throne as the nineteenth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.
In 1833, Wei Zufu died childless, and his younger brother Wei Zu retired from the throne as the twentieth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.
The three brothers of the ancestral generation, Wei Zujiao was born in 1763, Wei Zu was reborn in 1764, and Wei Zu was born in 1766.
The War of the Great Alliance, which ended in 1761, dramatically changed the structure of imperial power, both during the June Revolution and in the turmoil of the Zhuxia Republic, and in the lifelong refusal of Prime Minister Yuan Fudao, who refused to usurp the throne for life. Although Wei Qinxi was sent back to Kyoto by the alliance of the Emperor to rebel against the Great Alliance in laughter, the cabinet system has become the consensus of the four provinces, and the other vassal states have no intention of challenging the psychological bottom line of the people of the four provinces. Moreover, the failure of the Yuan Fudao was also the defeat of the Four Elements Province, and although the people of the Xia State knew that Wei Qinxi had been detained in the colony by the Lu Domain and could not return, they were still angry with the inactive royal family.
The people hated Wei Qinxi, and the cabinet system established by Yuan Fudao also despised Wei Qinxi, who could only escape.
Wei Qinxi, the emperor, did not even do as well as Emperor Han Xian.
No matter how puppet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is, there will be some princes and courtiers who are willing to hold his banner and fight against Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. Compared with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qinxi is a real lonely person, and the court is full of white eyes that dislike him. If it weren't for the military power of the Great Alliance of Honorable Kings standing behind Wei Qinxi, many courtiers would not want him to continue to be the emperor.
If it were other emperors, they might fight desperately.
Wei Qinxi didn't.
The June Revolution took away all the vigor of Wei Qinxi, and the ups and downs during the war against the Great Alliance also wiped out Wei Qinxi's edges and corners.
Puppets are puppets, Wei Qinxi accepted his fate.
The eldest grandson was born, and Wei Qinxi took the allusion of "the predicate of the mandate of heaven, the predicate of the way, and the predicate of the way of cultivation", and named it Wei Zujiao. Wei Qinxi took the opportunity of Wei Zujiao's name to publicly express his willingness to recognize the status quo, and from then on the power of the state was vested in the cabinet.
With the withdrawal of the allied forces of the Great Alliance of the Emperor and the Great Alliance from the Four Provinces of the Xia Kingdom, the people quickly set off a frenzy of remembrance of the former prime minister's original restoration like a tornado. In order to win the favor of the people, Wei Qinxi deliberately named his second grandson Wei Zufu, which is the Fu of the original Fudao.
Two years later, the royalist forces revived, and they tried to contact Wei Qinxi's cabinet to seize power. Wei Qinxi decisively refused, and named the fourth grandson Wei Zuhui, warning all the royal family: "Since the era has come to an end, we old people must retire honestly." ”
As a result of this, Wei Qinxi's notoriety became less and less, and he gradually won the trust of the cabinet.
Under the influence of Wei Qin's words and deeds, the three brothers Wei Zujiao, Wei Zufu, and Wei Zuhui obediently stayed away from deceitful politics, and only showed up at the right time to be a mascot symbolizing the unity of Zhuxia. Passed on to Wei Zu's retreat, Wei Zu's retreat completely bid farewell to treacherous politics, and all his energy was poured into his theatrical hobby. Perhaps rich in resources, perhaps due to talent, or perhaps hard work has borne fruit, Wei Zuhui's artistic achievements in quyi are quite high, and several dramas supervised by him have even spread to the world, and he is jokingly called the emperor of drama.
If it is an era of absolute monarchy, Wei Zu's retirement must be a typical counterexample of plaything.
In the era of the cabinet's rule, public opinion tolerated and even welcomed such a mediocre rubber stamp emperor, but expected him to create a few more popular masterpieces. A few years ago, the film technology tree was lit up, and Wei Zu retreated violently with new vitality. Wei Zu retreated to encourage related enterprises to develop excellent shooting equipment, and then used the prestige of the crown prince and the emperor to gather groups of contemporary masters to interpret the classics, preparing to pass on the best contemporary theatrical culture to future generations through images.
In 1839, the Lu clan collapsed completely, the four provinces of the Xia Kingdom trembled, and Wei Zu retreated to leisurely focus on his theatrical career. The guards persuaded Wei Zu to temporarily flee to the overseas colonies, and Wei Zu retreat smiled and waved his hand: "What are you fleeing from?" As for my emperor's hat, if they want it, I will give it to them. ”
The prestige of a monarch lies in power.
A monarch without power, what else is there to fight for?
Wei Zuhui didn't care about this great change in the fate of Kyushu at all.
Wei Dongsheng also promised the Xia cabinet ministers that the southern attack of the Northern Federation was not an invasion but a republican state, and in addition to national defense and military and other national plans that needed to be reorganized according to the situation, the imperial family and the cabinets of various feudal domains could continue to serve the Great Unification Empire.
Due to the existence of the feudal system, the contradictions between the Wei and Xia vassals were far less than those of the European countries in the real world. In the real world, Hitler's concept of the Germanic nation had no basis in the old Kyushu domains, or just when nationalism was about to spread, Wei Dongsheng launched the unification of China in time and merged Kyushu, which had been divided for hundreds of years, under a common banner. Even if nationalism is unavoidable, it will be the Xia or Han people who will be born, rather than the narrow patterns of the Zhao, Yan, and Lu peoples.
In order to alleviate the resistance of the old Kyushu vassal states, Wei Dongsheng decisively betrayed Wei Wenjun, the king of the Zhao domain.
In 1839, the ninth Wei Dongsheng was already 75 years old, which can be described as the last years of life. However, because of decades of continuous efforts, Wei Dongsheng's influence in the Northern Federation has not been reduced in the slightest, but has become stronger. Wei Wenjun, the domineering king of the Zhao domain, Wei Dongsheng had already pushed him aside with the help of the cabinet and the political trend. In the power structure of the Northern Federation, Wei Wenjun's status at this time was much higher than Wei Zu's status in the four provinces of the Xia State, but he was also a rubber stamp puppet.
Wei Dongsheng wants to abolish Wei Wenjun, and he can abolish this puppet at any time.
But there is nothing more than that, Wei Dongsheng is too lazy to bully his blood descendants.
Although he doesn't have any feelings, he is always his junior.
In August 1839, Wei Dongsheng and the Imperial Cabinet signed the Zhuxia Alliance, announcing the merger of the Northern Confederacy, the Lu Domain, and the Four Imperial Provinces into the Zhuxia Monarchical Republic Alliance.
What kind of country is the Union of Zhuxia Monarchical Republics?
First of all, it is an unquestionable alliance.
Although Wei Dongsheng did not fully agree with the theory, he also had to admit: "People are self-appointed without external enemies, and the country will perish if there are no external troubles." ”
If there is only one headlight left in Zhuxia, it is equivalent to pinning all the bets on him. If the bet is right, it's okay, once the bet is wrong, the future will definitely be the tragic end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Zhao Song Dynasty, and the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how many people will have to work hard for many years to repay their debts. At the same time, will the newly-born Great Unified Empire always be on the right path? History tells us that it is impossible, and there has been no permanent dynasty since ancient times. Even if some people think that he can smash the periodic law of history and be correct forever, Wei Dongsheng doubts this.
Wei Dongsheng is not confident that he will always be right, so he does not believe that others can always be right.
Since the defects of a headlight are so eye-catching, why not arrange some compensatory measures?
Therefore, Wei Dongsheng decided to unify the Zhuxia Partition Empire to a limited extent. Like the Fourteenth Republic of Penglai, Wei Dongsheng is ready to let them continue to be at large; For vassal states such as the Five Feudal States of Nanyang, which had an obvious framework of colonial rule, Wei Dongsheng was also prepared to let them continue to live; Like the Anxi Domain, the Shengmeng Domain, the Luo Domain, and other feudal states, the distance and cultural differences will inevitably lead to the incredibly high cost of rule, and Wei Dongsheng is simply prepared to let them continue to exist.
In short, Wei Dongsheng's great cause of unification ended within the confines of the old Kyushu.
Therefore, the suffix of the Zhuxia Monarchical Republic Alliance is Alliance, indicating that it will be a grand alliance organically composed of countless independent vassal states. The reason for cutting the word republic is also very simple, first of all, it needs to include the 14th Republic of Penglai; Second, both the cabinet system and the form of the alliance of feudal domains are similar to the bureaucracy of the republic, and there is no essential difference between them and the bureaucracy of the real world. The word monarch was added because in addition to the Zhuxia cultural inheritance bond, the Zhuxia Monarch Republic Alliance also needs a mascot to maintain the Zhuxia Monarch Republic Alliance.
