The 419th died of dysentery

From 1309 to 1319, Wei Dongsheng expanded his army by fighting wars, and drove the Eight Banners of Java to gradually attack and destroy the Majapahit.

From 1319 to 1322, Wei Dongsheng marched westward again, conquering the Sunda Kingdom on West Java and unifying Java in general.

It may seem easy to say, but it's actually quite difficult.

In strategy games such as Europa 4, for example, players can accurately know the approximate combat strength of an army, and an arquebus unit of the same size can always easily annihilate a conventional medieval cold weapon army. In actual war, the combat effectiveness of the army is often a fog that cannot be mastered, and Wei Dongsheng not only has difficulty finding out the actual morale and training of a unit, but also cannot even understand the exact number of troops - who knows if they have been paid empty salaries? Many battles that Wei Dongsheng thought he would win were in vain; Of course, there are some surprises, some military geniuses often stage earth-shattering reversals in desperate situations, and make achievements that even Wei Dongsheng is dumbfounded.

Where did Wei Dongsheng win?

Wei Dongsheng won in the sugar industry chain, and a steady stream of huge profits could support the war.

Wei Dongsheng won centralized power, although it was only a Manchu-like colonial rule, although there were some indigenous Javanese feudal towns similar to Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong in the corner lands, and the political system of the Shunta Kingdom was far stronger than that of the Majapahit Kingdom between the tribal alliance and the tribal feudalization. With the same population and the same resources, the Shunta Kingdom was always able to squeeze out more manpower and material resources, and then swallowed the snake to symbolize the subjugation of Java Island.

From 1322 to 1328, Wei Dongsheng relied on the human resources of Java to conquer the east and west, and gradually conquered the Nanyang islands.

The island of Java is known to be the main population gathering place in the South Seas. In the real world, Java is only the fifth largest island in Indonesia in terms of area, but it is staggeringly half of the country's population and is politically and economically dominant. Compared to Java, the other islands in the South Sea are difficult to develop and the cost of centralized rule is incredibly high. Therefore, after Wei Dongsheng had a base camp on Java Island, he implemented the strategy of the Dutch East India Company in other islands according to local conditions, severing the connection between the Nanyang Islands with the idea of maritime hegemony, and maintaining the absolute superiority of the Shunta Kingdom over the indigenous regimes of each island.

After Wei Dongsheng dominated the South Seas, he set his sights on the Mengyuan Continent for a long time.

On cultural belonging and population advantage, Wei Dongsheng has the need to replace it. However, the Mongol Yuan was not a small indigenous state like the Majapahit or Sunda kingdoms. Taking Laden Jialiang, the first king of the founding of the Manjapahit Empire, as an example, he faced a mere Mongol and Yuan division, and he had to rely on kneeling to lower the vigilance of the Yuan soldiers and plot to win.

From 1297 to 1328, when Wei Dongsheng was reincarnated, he had rapidly replaced several emperors such as Timur, Haishan, Aiyuli Bali Bada, Shuode Eight Thorns, Yesun Temur, Asujiba, and Tutimur. Despite the endless struggle for power and profit among the high-level leaders of Mengyuan and Yuan, and despite the civil changes in the provinces of Mengyuan from time to time, it is still a behemoth in the eyes of the people of the Shunta Kingdom.

Moreover, because of the constraints of "prohibiting the dissemination of social sciences and natural sciences", the political system of the Shunta Kingdom is also similar to the traditional feudal dynasty of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Even if the Shunta Kingdom has already dominated the South Seas, the high-level leaders of the Shunta Kingdom do not have the confidence to complete the great cause of opposing the Yuan.

At the same time, the Nanyang Tang people also had no ambition to recover the Central Plains. Taking the early minister Yang Xinning as an example, when he first fled to Java, he named his eldest son Yang Beiwang, his second son Yang Futu, and his eldest daughter Yang Niansong. Looking north again, recovering the land, and reading the Song Dynasty, Yang Xinning's thoughts can be imagined. But after staying in Java for more than ten years, when the last daughter Yang Nian'an was born, her name had nothing to do with family and country feelings. As early as that time, Yang Xinning no longer dreamed of reversing the Yuan Dynasty and restoring the Song Dynasty, but began to pursue a stable life like other remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, they are more familiar with the vast land and resources of the Central Plains provinces and the nightmare of Mengyuan's iron cavalry than the Nanyang natives, and they are also more afraid of Mengyuan's comprehensive strength than the Nanyang natives. Instead of risking his life to challenge Meng Yuan to go to the Southern Song Dynasty, it is better to be a rich man in Nanyang with peace of mind.

Such a conservative idea is the common aspiration of almost all Tang ethnic groups.

Fortunately, the Shunta Kingdom is an autocratic feudal dynasty, and Wei Dongsheng is a generation of Ming monarchs comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu who led the Shunta Kingdom to win a hundred battles and dominate the South Seas. Whether it was the Nanyang indigenous feudal towns or the military generals of the Shunta Kingdom, they did not dare to strongly resist Wei Dongsheng's Northern Expedition resolution, Wei Dongsheng said that if the north looked at the Central Plains, the Shunta Kingdom would have to expand to the Central Plains.

Of course, considering that the Nanyang Tang people hated and feared the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry, Wei Dongsheng had to carefully arrange the Northern Expedition.

From 1328 to 1333, the Shunta Kingdom opened up a trade network in East Asia and established an advance base in Ryukyu (Taiwan).

From 1333 to 1238, Wei Dongsheng tilted resources to build the Ryukyu Battalion into a super-large military base.

In 1340, Wei Dongsheng ordered the crown prince to supervise the island of Java and lead the main army into the Ryukyus.

In 1341, Wei Dongsheng announced the abandonment of the name of Shun Pagoda and built Shuo for Xia. Not long after, Wei Dongsheng sent troops to capture the Penghu Islands, attacked and occupied Quanzhou, and officially launched the strategy of destroying the Yuan. Contrary to Wei Dong's business expectations, in 1341, ten years before the Red Turban Army uprising, the combat effectiveness of the Yuan soldiers had already degenerated, and the Xia soldiers could almost easily run rampant in the coastal provinces. It was not until Meng Yuan mobilized reinforcements everywhere that the Yuan soldiers blocked the Xia soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River.

Because there is no advantage in technology crushing, because there is no loyalty to lock in the advantage, Wei Dongsheng's combat strategy is very cautious. Seeing that there was a gradual stalemate on the front line, Wei Dongsheng immediately and decisively ordered Xia Bing to use the Yangtze River and the sea to build a defense system, and allocate part of his energy to clean up the potential hidden dangers in the liberated areas.

Considering that the current science and technology tree has no industrial foundation, Wei Dongsheng did not shout the slogan of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" indiscriminately, but only used the banner of "anti-Yuan" to eliminate the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the conquered areas. Wei Dongsheng first demanded that these landlords draw a clear line with Meng Yuan and fulfill their national liberation obligations such as army reclamation of land and the enlistment of their heirs in the army. After the early rectification, it was a persistent harsh speech control, and whoever dared to say a good word from the Mengyuan court immediately confiscated the land and exiled to Nanyang.

During the Ming and Yuan revolutions in the real world, influenced by the Mengyuan Dynasty's strategy of uniting some Han elites, many gentry coveted the local privileges of the Mengyuan period, praised the Mengyuan leniency, and attacked the brutality of the Red Turban Army. Even many high-ranking officials and nobles in the early Ming Dynasty were accustomed to criticize the Red Turban soldiers who were from the same background as Zhu Yuanzhang because of the contradictions during the merger with the squires and warlords in the Mengyuan period, and various remarks directly or indirectly missed the Mengyuan Dynasty.

Wei Dongsheng's purge policy destroyed the economic basis for the squires to miss the Mengyuan ideology.

A large number of landlords and tyrants who made their fortunes because of the national policy of Meng Yuan have become victims of the banner of national liberation, and if they dare to say a good word about Meng Yuan or be hostile to the Wei Xia regime and call themselves Yuanmin, their immediate family members will be exiled to Nanyang plantations to do hard labor, and their land and property will also become a reward for Wei Dongsheng's meritorious soldiers. Although these policies affected the speed of the Northern Expedition to a certain extent, they could ensure that the recruits in the national liberated areas were of one mind with Wei Dongsheng, and then formed a stable base.

In 1344, Wei Dongsheng calmly advanced the front line to the Huai River defense line.

In 1345, Wei Dongsheng went up the river and captured the two lakes.

At the end of 1347, Wei Dongsheng launched the Northern Expedition, and the Meng Yuan was unexpectedly quickly defeated, and the Xia soldiers captured Shandong and Henan in only three months. Seeing that everything was in good shape, Wei Dongsheng simply arrived in Bianliang, the old capital of the Zhao and Song dynasties, to discuss the details of the capture of Hebei and the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in World War I.

At this point, Meng Yuan has entered the countdown to destruction.

The scheduled Xia soldiers will officially march north on August 14, and Wei Xia will be able to replace the real-world Zhu Ming Dynasty as the new dynasty that will end the rule of the Meng Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the accident happened suddenly.

At the end of July, Wei Dongsheng suddenly had abdominal pain, and then pus and blood.

At the critical juncture of attacking Meng Yuan, Wei Dongsheng suddenly fell ill with dysentery.

What's even more tricky is that the doctor's treatment is ineffective, and Wei Dongsheng's condition is getting worse and worse, so that he will be unconscious after more than ten days.

On August 8, 1348, Wei Dong died of dysentery at the age of 69.

By the time he regained consciousness, Wei Dongsheng had returned to the real world.

The real world is October 27, 2016. Wei Dongsheng experienced 51 years in a different time and space 600 years ago, leading the Shunta Kingdom with a scale of 10,000 people to conquer the south and the north, not only establishing the maritime hegemony that dominated the South Seas, but also almost overthrowing the rule of Meng Yuan more than ten years ahead of schedule. The impassioned 51 years in different time and space, compared with the calm 51 days in the real world, Wei Dongsheng couldn't help but feel the mystery of time.

Thinking of 51 years of impassionedness, Wei Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

At the critical moment when the combined army went north to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, Wei Dongsheng died of illness suddenly, and his life was really unpredictable!

There are many such examples in history.

I don't know how many heroes and heroes are determined to die before they are paid, and they regret missing the dawn of victory.

Without Wei Dongsheng, what would the Wei Xia Dynasty look like?

Wei Dongsheng's sudden death must have seriously affected the strategy of the Northern Expedition to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and the children may be caught in the vortex of struggle for power and profit. What will the Battle of Xia Yuan look like? After thinking about it for a while, Wei Dongsheng didn't dare to be optimistic.

In order to avoid the competition between Yang Beiwang and Yang Futu for his heirs, Wei Dongsheng had many detailed regulations on the law of succession to the throne. Who should inherit the emperor after dying of illness during the Northern Expedition, and who will be the second and third successor if the first heir dies, Wei Dongsheng has already announced the world.

However, rules are dead, but people are alive.

Who dares to guarantee that those civil and military generals will honestly obey Wei Dongsheng's orders?

Is there a kind of Tianzi Ning?

Ears for the strong soldiers!

Just like Zhu Di will not respect Zhu Yuanzhang's will, once it comes to a critical moment, who will respect Wei Dongsheng, who is already dead?
