466th VIII: The Great Revolution (II)

Compared to Louis XVI, who was guillotined, Wei Qinxi was in a relatively better situation, and fled to the Wu domain in embarrassment when the Chung faction defeated Kyoto.

The June Revolution shook the 24 vassal states of Wei and Xia.

As far as the Weixia feudal system is concerned, the existence of the royal family is very necessary. Although the vassal states worked together to contain the imperial family and did not allow it to become bigger, the common blood ties of the Wei clan could provide a relatively soothing platform for the game, and if the emperor was gone, how could the vassal king persuade his subjects to be loyal?

As a result, the vassal states quickly formed a grand alliance to revolt against the king.

The five feudal states of Wu, Lu, Zhao, Yue, Wei, Chu, Jin, Zhou, Chu, Jiaozhi, and Nanyang worked together to form a great alliance to contain the Zhuxia Republic. Among the Wei clan's domains, only the Yan clan had a vague attitude, and under the pretext that he was vigilant against the movements of the Wei domain, the Luo domain, the Shengmeng clan and other foreign surname domains, and there was no need to join the great alliance of the king to rebel for the time being.

Of course, all choices are made for the sake of profit.

Take Wei Fan, for example.

In 1726, when the Jiang family passed on to the country, it suddenly encountered a crisis of succession.

Jiang died for Mou, and his son Jiang Liguo succeeded to the throne; Jiang Liguo died and Jiang Chuande succeeded him.

In 1726, Jiang Chuande died of illness and had no children. Considering that Jiang Weimu only has Jiang Liguo's orphan son, and Jiang Liguo also has Jiang Chuande's orphan son, if the inheritance law is followed, the Wei Domain's cabinet should recommend Jiang Weimou's elder brother and younger brother to inherit the Wei Domain's legal system. However, there is an old saying in the world, the initiator has no aftermath. Seeing that the Jiang family's bloodline withered, Jiang Chuande's brother-in-law Yang Huixue suddenly had a different heart, Yang Huixue first used Mao Siyu's old practice to recommend his wife to succeed him as the Duke of Wei Domain, and then ordered his wife to give the duke title to himself.

In 1728, the Jiang Wei domain became the Yang Wei domain.

At the beginning of Yang Huixue's usurpation, Zhao Domain, Yan Domain and other feudal states were busy supporting the Northern Penglai Republic to weaken the Lu Domain, and they had no time to pay attention to him. Now that the June Revolution was in turmoil, the feudal domains were frightened by the republican ideology and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their territory, so the three feudal domains of Zhao, Tang, and Yan tacitly agreed to march into the Wei domain in the name of "respecting the king and rebelling", and carved up the Yang Wei domain on the spot.

The Tang clan took away the Alxa League, the inherent territory of Northern Xinjiang and Wei Domain, which was set up by Mao Jiuzhong to annex the Oirat Khanate; The Yan clan took the Xing'an League, the Xilin Gol League, and Outer Mongolia; Zhao Fan ceded Duoyan Mansion (Chifeng City) to Yan Fan as a bargaining chip to obtain the essence of Wei Domain, and took Wuhai City, Ordos City, Bayannur City, Baotou City, Hohhot City, Ulanqab City, Datong City, Shuozhou City and other places.

In 1742, the Tang, Yan, and Zhao families were divided into Wei, and the Wei domain has since become a historical term.

Return to the main line of the Emperor's Rebellion Alliance.

Although the Great Alliance of the Honorable Kings rebelled against the Great Alliance, they were helpless for a while. It is difficult to summarize the specific reasons, perhaps because the Zhuxia Republic smashed the feudal order, and countless civilian talents became the backbone of the republican new army; Perhaps because the republican concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the people feel that it is fighting for themselves, and their morale is particularly high; Perhaps because the Wei clan had their own careful thoughts, it was difficult for them to unite together.

Of course, the Zhuxia Republic also has the difficulties of the Republic. After the expulsion of Emperor Wei Qinxi, this faction and that faction immediately revolved around the power of the state, one moment you are in power and I am against, and the other time I am in power and you are against, and it is difficult to effectively use the enthusiasm of the people.

Overall, the Zhuxia Republic has a slight advantage.

In 1743, when the power structure of the Zhuxia Republic was somewhat stabilized, the new republican army marched straight into the Wu domain, and the emperor Wei Qinxi and the Wu royal family fled to the Penglai colony in embarrassment. However, the Zhuxia Republic did not formally annex the Wu Domain, but only restrained the Wu Domain from adjusting to a republican system and binding it to the chariot of the Zhuxia Republic.

In 1744, the Zhuxia Republic defeated the Yue clan to the south. The geographical terrain of the Yue Domain was not conducive to control, and the long coastline was very easy to attract the superior naval harassment of the Emperor against the Great Alliance, so the Zhuxia Republic needed to waste more troops to defend the coastline when it obtained the Yue Domain. As a result, the Zhuxia Republic did not subvert the Yue vassal vassal system, but only demanded that the Yue vassal sign a peace treaty with the Zhuxia Republic and provide sufficient strategic materials on time.

Of course, the Great Alliance of the Emperor's Rebellion would not allow the Yue Dynasty to become a logistics base for the Zhuxia Republic to communicate overseas. In just a few months, the Yue Domain was forced to join the Zhuxia Republic, and was tragically blocked by the Great Alliance of the Emperor's rebellion. In order to ensure its own interests, the Penglai Colony of Penglai successively announced that it would no longer obey the royal family of the Yue Dynasty, and joined the Great Alliance of Honoring the King and Rebelling as an independent person.

In 1745, Zhu Xia defeated the Chu Domain, and the Chu Domain transformed into a republican system, becoming the fourth member of the Republic League after Xia, Wu, and Yue.

Faced with the increasingly powerful alliance of the Zhuxia Republics, the Great Alliance of the Emperor's Rebellion had to find more allies. The Yan Domain, the Tang Domain, the Ming Domain, the distant Mao Luo Domain, the Mao Shengmeng Domain, and the Sha Clan's Sabbath Domain, which had just replaced the Mao Clan, joined the Great Alliance of King Respect and Rebellion one after another. Despite this, it was also difficult for the Great Alliance to defeat the Zhuxia Republic Alliance on land.

Fortunately, the Zhuxia Republic has also encountered eternal problems. Because of the war needs to defend the Republic, the military forces are becoming more and more important, and their influence on the Zhuxia Republic is also increasing. Yuan Fudao was born in a family of county officials in Hubei Province, and when he joined the army, he coincided with the great changes in the Zhuxia Republic, and quickly climbed to a high position because of his outstanding war talent. In 1746, the cabinet clashed with the cabinet because of military strategy, and the cabinet wanted to exile the original to the overseas colonies, but the original fudo did not have the idea of "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die", and gathered young and strong military backbones that night to overthrow the old cabinet.

If the June Revolution was the French Revolution, it was Napoleon Bonaparte of the Zhuxia Republic.

Of course, Yuan Fudao is like Napoleon but not Napoleon, he has his own ideas.

Yuan Fudao was not loyal to the republican system, and after he took power in the cabinet of the Zhuxia Republic, he began to consciously weaken the impact of the republican ideology and tried to negotiate with the Great Alliance of the Emperor's rebellion. Yuan Fudao's diplomacy was far superior to that of Napoleon, and he even expressed his willingness to abolish the Zhuxia Republic and welcome Wei Qinxi back to Kyoto to restore the cabinet and the monarchy. As long as Wei Qinxi is willing to return to the cabinet, it is not a question of whether he is a republic or not. Yuan Fudao was able to fight on the battlefield, and he was humble in diplomatic occasions, and the Great Alliance of the Emperor and the Rebellion was more and more inclined to settle the problem of the Zhuxia Republic through peaceful negotiations.

In 1751, Yuan Fudao first abandoned the honor of the Zhuxia Republic, and then refused the temptation to ascend the throne and become emperor, and sent an envoy to welcome Wei Qinxi's return to the throne.

Therefore, to the surprise of Wei Dong's business, from 1740 to 1751, only eleven years, the Wei Xia Dynasty was rebuilt in ruins.

If all goes well, the 11 years of chaos unleashed by the June Revolution may be over.

Unfortunately, each domain has its own interests.

In the past eleven years, the Xia royal family has vassalized the Wu and Chu domains, controlled the Yue domain to the south, and took away the Nanyang and Runan provinces of Henan Province to the north. Although he was not loyal to the republican system, he was the unquestionable statist, who could not usurp the throne but refused to betray his national interests for the sake of peace. In addition to fearing the impact of the republican ideology, the feudal states formed a great alliance to respect the king and rebel, but also feared that the Zhuxia Republic would sweep Kyushu and annex their inheritance. If the Imperial Cabinet of the Yuan Fudao Empire is allowed to continue to control the Wu Domain, the Chu Domain, the Yue Domain, the Nanyang Domain, and the Runan Domain, sooner or later the Zunwang Rebellion Alliance will have to fight a war to cut the feudal domain.

When the republic was no longer a problem, the interests of the vassal states became a new contradiction.

The Lu clan prevented Wei Qinxi from returning to China, and demanded that Yuan Fudao spit out the territory occupied by the Zhuxia Republic and return to the sphere of influence before the June Revolution.

Yuan Fudao rejected Lu Fan's traitorous proposal, and the smoke of gunfire resumed.

In 1753, Yuan Fudao took the Lu domain as the main target, and shocked through the Henan Province and burned the war to the territory of the Zhao domain.

In 1754, Yuan Fudao defeated the Zhao Domain, and the frightened Zhao Fan and the Lu Fan hurriedly sent envoys to beg for peace. In the same year, Yuan Fudao announced the recovery of Henan Province and ordered Zhao Fan to assign the Daimyo Mansion to Henan Province. This is the most glorious era of the imperial family since the founding of Wei Xia, and countless ministers have joined forces to watch: "Prime Minister Wu Wei is better than Emperor Gaozu of Wei Xia, and the virtuous people in the world live in it, and they should obey the mandate of heaven." ”

Yuan Fudao repeatedly vetoed the persuasion of the ministers to enter public opinion, and insisted that Lu Fan send Wei Qinxi back to the country and restore the throne.

Unexpectedly, although the Lu clan and other vassal states were forced to dissolve the Great Alliance of Respect for the Throne and the Rebellion, they imprisoned Wei Qinxi in Penglai, which belonged to Wu. Yuan Fudao understood Lu Fan's thoughts, and this move was nothing more than to intensify the contradictions in the royal camp, indirectly induce Yuan Fudao to usurp the throne, and then "expose the conspiracy of Yuan Fudao to kill the king", and once again form a great alliance to respect the king and rebel. However, in order to ensure the interests of the vassal states, they would rather restore the path and usurp the throne and kill the royal bloodline.

However, Yuan Fudao insisted on his own heart and always regarded himself as a prime minister.

Since the Lu clan and others had different intentions, and since the overseas colonies refused to submit, Yuan Fudao simply continued to integrate the old Kyushu forces.

In 1755, the Jin clan joined the camp of the original Fudao and obeyed all the decrees of the Imperial Cabinet.

In 1757, the Zhou and Han clans joined the camp of the Yuan Fudao and obeyed all the decrees of the Imperial Cabinet.

In 1758, Yuan Fudao ordered Zhao Domain, Yan Domain, and Tang Domain to spit out Wei Domain. Zhao Fan obeyed orders and obediently spit out what he had earned in the past; However, the Yan Domain and the Tang Domain refused, and Yuan Fudao immediately led the army to attack the Yan Domain, deciding to subdue the Yan Domain first and then the Tang Domain, and finally realize the unification of the empire.

It turned out to be a great pity that the original path failed, like Napoleon.

Slightly different from Napoleon, the original revenge was defeated by betrayal or conspiracy.

It turned out that Yan Fan's refusal to spit out Wei Fan was a conspiracy of the Three Kingdoms of Zhao Domain, Lu Domain, and Yan Domain. Lu Fan's acquiescence to the reconstruction of the Wei Domain did not mean that Lu Fan sincerely hoped that Yuan Fudao would control the northern frontier, and Zhao Fan obediently spit out the territory of Wei Fan was not sincere, everything was a conspiracy to lure Yuan Fudao to send troops to Yan Domain.

When the commander of the Yuan Fudao Expeditionary Force drove straight into the capital of the Yan Domain, Zhao Fan and Lu Fan suddenly showed their fangs. The Lu Domain's army was responsible for blocking the imperial family's land reinforcements, and the Zhao Domain's army, the Lelang Domain's army, and the three navies led by the Lu Domain cut off the logistics channel of the Restoration Road.

Without logistics, no matter how strong the war talent of the original path is, what can it be?
