The 422nd steps towards the abyss of separation

After Wei Yongfeng ascended the throne, he was depressed to find that there were 17 feudal states outside and left Germany, and there were worries about civil revolt inside, and the treasury had been exhausted after the four-year war. Although Wei Yongfeng was also eager to cut the feudal domain and achieve the unification of the country, he had to be depressed to end the battle of Chu initiated by Wei Shengying.

Wei Sheng's battle against Chu was one of the landmark events of the Wei Xia Dynasty's slide from a centralized system to a feudal system.

At the time of the founding of the dynasty, feudal states were divided in the frontier, which was not uncommon in Chinese history. The concept of great unification does not depend on whether the early dynasty implements feudal division, but whether the successors can successfully reduce the feudal domain and achieve administrative unification. Taking the real-world Zhu Ming Dynasty as an example, although Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen cut the feudal domain and became a monk, Chengzu Zhu Di eliminated the hidden dangers of the feudal state in another form, so the Zhu Ming Dynasty is still a famous unified dynasty.

Wei Shengying failed to succeed in cutting the feudal domain with wisdom and martial arts, but he was not stupid enough to be Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

Wei Shengying's strength over Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was just the historical sinner who hindered the unification of the Wei Xia Dynasty.

After the end of the Battle of Chu, the antagonism between the imperial family and the vassal states became a generally accepted political phenomenon, and the concept of feudal system became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Thanks to the close exchanges during the Battle of Chu, the Seventeen Feudal States secretly signed numerous mutual defense covenants against the imperial family's ambitions to reduce the feudal domain.

After the undefeated defeat of the Battle of Chu, it was even more difficult for the imperial family to cut down the feudal domain.

Wei Yongfeng gave up the plan to cut the domain.

Only the Jin Kingdom in Shanxi is naturally more difficult to do.

Especially in the later period of the Battle of Chu, the situation in the northern part of the empire underwent drastic changes.

In 1376, Zhu Chong's eighth governor led the alliance of the Great Wall of Lelang, Yan, Zhao, and Wei to drive directly to the northeast with a step-by-step strategy, and broke the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty entrenched in the north of the former Mengyuan Liaoyang Province. The remnants of the Northern Yuan Party were defeated in the Northeast, and they lost their support, and the threat was reduced by half of Thailand.

In 1377, Mao Guifu led the alliance of the Great Wall Alliance to take advantage of the victory and penetrate deep into the Mongolian Plateau, fortunately captured the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and defeated it, capturing countless Northern Yuan princes and concubines and princesses. After this defeat, the prestige of the Golden Family plummeted, and many nomadic tribes took the opportunity to declare independence. For the northern vassal states of the Wei Xia Dynasty, the Mengyuan Dynasty of the Golden Family had completely collapsed, and those new tribes had neither the prestige to call for the heroes nor the strength to defeat the Great Wall Alliance vassal states, and the threat of the grasslands to the frontier was suddenly reduced to one-twelfth of the original.

The collapse of the Golden Family is a happy event for the Wei Xia Dynasty, but not for the Wei Xia royal family.

Getting rid of the threat of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Great Wall Alliance vassal suddenly had more strength to fight against the imperial family's ambition to cut the domain. Those elites who have been at war with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty for more than ten years, who dares to ignore their existence? The reason why Wei Shengying stopped fighting at the end of 1377 was because he was afraid that the vassal states of the Great Wall Alliance would revolt.

Wei Shengying was afraid.

Wei is afraid of the wind.

Wei Dongsheng was also afraid.

Without the backing of the technology tree crushing, it is as strong as Wei Dongsheng, and there is no way to use the land of the Jin Kingdom as a province to fight against the Seventeen Domains.

As time passed, Wei Dongsheng was depressed and found that the wish of the Wei Xia Dynasty for unification might not be realized.

In fact, there are still solutions.

For example, in the last years of Li Tang, there were also many feudal towns, and when the Yellow Nest caused chaos in the world, the Central Plains immediately began to brew a change to abolish the feudal towns. If Wei Dongsheng dares to break the jar and break it, even if Huang Chao turns around the Central Plains like that, he may be able to brew a great unification change. However, thinking that it was the Zhao and Song dynasties that finally achieved the reduction of the feudal domain, and the Liao and Xia, which rose during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wei Dongsheng hesitated to deny such a method of not breaking and not standing.

Moreover, unification is only a means.

If we want to unify for the sake of great unification, if we want to do a yellow nest to smash the old order for the sake of great unification, the price will also be great.

Wei Dongsheng was very hesitant.

Wei Dongsheng advocated great unification and centralization, but he was unwilling to smash bottles and cans for the sake of great unification.

The confusion in his heart limited Wei Dongsheng's future.

hesitated about this, hesitated about that, and as a result, Wei Dongsheng finished his life without doing anything.

In 1414, Wei Dong fell ill and died at the age of 66.

Compared with the first experience, Wei Dongsheng's second life experience has no achievements, and he has almost walked in place for 48 years. Even after returning to the real world, Wei Dongsheng continued to struggle with the line of centralization and feudalism, and buried himself in the historical canons to find answers.

……

After the preparation time of the 18th in the real world, Wei Dongsheng's third life experience kicked off on time.

……

In 1414, Wei Moumou (Wei Dongsheng) died of illness in Taiyuan Mansion, and the heir of the Jin State was extinct.

It is said that Wei Dongsheng tended to assist his grandson Wei Shengying and great-grandson Wei to use the wind to cut the feudal domain rather than keep the inheritance of the feudal state, and simply disguised himself as suffering from a dark disease of infertility. In order to promote the historical process of the great unification of the Wei Xia Dynasty, Wei Dongsheng also skillfully chose his heir, hoping that the imperial family would be able to legally annex the Jin State after his death and expand the comprehensive strength between the imperial family and the vassal state.

Wei Dongsheng never imagined that his efforts would lead to the Jin Succession War.

In 1415, Wei Yongfeng attempted to annex the Jin kingdom in accordance with the law.

How do you think about it, the seventeen feudal states unanimously oppose the annexation of the Jin Kingdom by the imperial family. The vassal states of Lu, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Zhou, and Tang sent troops to garrison the Jin state at about the same time, and royal officials or troops were forbidden to set foot on the territory of the Jin state. Soon, the situation in North China was completely out of control, and the royal army and the allied forces of the northern vassal states engaged in a brutal struggle in the northern part of Henan Province.

During the war, the state of Lu, who had been recuperating for many years, suddenly showed its grandeur, and King Lu, who was also of Wei Dongsheng's bloodline, commanded 8,000 elites to successfully ambush the main force of the 50,000 foot cavalry of the royal family, and almost defeated the ambition of the royal family to annex the Jin State in almost a single battle. King Lu won successive battles for several years, and in 1420 he crossed the Yangtze River and surrounded the Jingshi.

What is not available on the battlefield is also difficult to obtain at the negotiating table.

Wei Yongfeng, the fourth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty, had no choice but to compromise and beg for mercy, vowing to permanently abandon the idea of annexing the Jin state.

Wei Yongfeng wanted to thank the other vassal states for their hindrance. If it weren't for the fact that other vassal states were both shocked and afraid of King Lu's military ability, and the Jin Kingdom was desperately pulling Queen Lu's back leg in the later stage of the War of Succession, King Lu would even have the hope of ascending the throne as emperor like Zhu Di in the real world. It's a pity that although King Lu won all battles, he couldn't rely on Shandong alone to fight against the allied forces of all the vassal states, so he had to give up the plan to capture the Beijing division in frustration and withdraw his troops back to China in anger.

After the great victory of the alliance of the northern feudal states, in order to prevent the Imperial Family from repeatedly cutting down the feudal domains, they decided to forcibly deprive the Imperial Family of the territories directly under their direct jurisdiction. In the south, the coalition forces of the northern vassal states forced Wei Yongfeng to give up Zhejiang Province, and made Wei Yongfeng's third son promoted to the ninth prince of the mainland, as the king of Wu; In the north, the coalition forces of the northern vassal states declared Henan Province a special buffer zone.

Initially, King Lu wanted to annex Henan Province with his military prestige. However, the other vassal states were afraid that Lu would be too strong after annexing Henan Province, so they decided to switch camps and strongly oppose Lu's annexation of Henan Province. It's a pity that King Lu is famous for winning a hundred battles after all, and after his fornication with the royal family, no one in the world can stop his soldiers. After an exchange of interests, King Lu annexed Puyang City, Kaifeng City, Zhengzhou City, Shangqiu City, Xuchang City, Pingdingshan City, Zhoukou City, Zhumadian City and other fertile fields in the Central Plains in the real world. At the same time, the alliance of the northern vassal states established four major earls in Henan Province, which were nominally owned by the royal family but deeply influenced by the feudal states: Anyang City, Hebi City, Xinxiang City, Jiaozuo City and other places, and established the Earl State of Weihui as a vassal of Zhao State; Sanmenxia City, Luoyang City and other places, established the Luoyang Earl State, which was a vassal of the Zhou State; Nanyang City and other places, the establishment of the Earl of Nanyang, as a vassal of the Lu State; Xinyang City and other places established the Earl State of Runan, which was also a vassal of the Lu State.

Historical name: three families divided into Henan.

Other vassal states also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cut off the royal family, such as Chu and Han, both of which wanted to annex the territory of Hubei occupied during the Jin Succession War, and the Yue and Wei kingdoms also wanted to annex the Jiangxi and Zhejiang territories occupied during the Jin Succession War. However, the vassal states have their own interests, and they cooperate and fight with each other, so how can they be willing to expand and grow stronger in the surrounding vassal states? After many wars and negotiations. The states of Chu and Han were forced to withdraw from Hubei, and the states of Yue and Wei were also forced to withdraw from Jiangxi. In this way, the Jin Succession War ended, and the imperial family was left with only Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei and other provinces directly under the central government, and the hope of great unification could no longer be slim.

In 1424, Wei Yongfeng died depressed, and his eldest son Wei Shansheng succeeded to the throne, as the fifth emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.

When Wei Shansheng ascended the throne, he vowed never to cut down the feudal domain, and while trying to appease the five princes with different surnames, the five feudal states of Nanyang, and the nine relatives of the mainland, he also reformed the military system and tax system in the provinces directly under his central government, and methodically cleaned up the mess left by Wei Yongfeng.

In 1432, Wei Dongsheng came to this world on time for the third time.

Wei Dongsheng's third-generation experience identity is still his blood descendant.

With the first Wei Dongsheng's father, Wei Fusong, inaugurated as the head of Shunta, the Wei Xia Dynasty has been established for 151 years; Taking Wei Dongsheng's pursuit of the Central Plains as a yardstick, the Wei Xia Dynasty has been established for 91 years. After more than 100 years of bloodline breeding, Wei Dongsheng's descendants have spread all over the world, and the heirs have long been unable to obtain titles and fiefdoms by virtue of blood and family affection. Inferior products tomorrow Huan considered the reality of population breeding, and gradually reduced the status of Wei Dongsheng's experience background in the Wei family.

The first reincarnation, skipping the background figure of Wei Fusong, Wei Dongsheng is actually the real founder of the Wei family.

The second reincarnation, Wei Dongsheng's identity background slipped to the vassal king, and he needed to accept the jurisdiction of his grandson Wei Shengying and great-grandson Wei Yongfeng.

The third reincarnation, Wei Dongsheng's identity background continued to decline, and he had neither the honor of a prince nor a territorial fiefdom. Fortunately, the population of the Wei family has not yet grown to the point of 100,000 million, and with Wei Dongsheng's blood background, it is a real upper echelon of society. Wei Dongsheng's third experience identity is the son of a prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, and his nominal father died in 1424, which can be simply described as the son of a high-ranking official whose family was slightly defeated.

is also a descendant of the Wei family, and the son of the prime minister of the Jin State, even if the family declines, Wei Dongsheng is not afraid of food and clothing.
