Chapter 59: The End (1)
The five major dynasties of the Phantom Martial Realm were directly controlled by Xia Fan, which was a very huge change for the situation in the Phantom Martial Realm, and it had affected the entire overall situation of the Phantom Martial Realm.
This has threatened the existential crisis of all dynasties in the Phantom Martial Realm, and the rulers of all dynasties know that if they want to survive, they must unite and fight against Xia Fan's attack together.
As a result, the authorities of various large and small dynasties and sects have sent envoys to carry out joint alliances.
It's just that the various big and small dynasties in the Phantom Martial Arts Realm are intriguing and have long-standing grievances with each other, and they are related to their own interests, and it is almost impossible to truly unite to fight against Xia Fan together.
Sure enough, although the matter of the merger was determined by the dynasties at the beginning, in the face of their respective interests, the authorities of these dynasties and sects began to fight each other, and the matter of the merger was extended indefinitely.
At this time, the two major dynasties under Xia Fan made every effort, and after a month of repair, all the original warriors and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were reintegrated and trained, and two million troops were selected from them, and Xia Fan had secretly trained a total of three million elites in the past ten years.
It can be seen that although the armament of the Great Song Dynasty is very poor, it is indeed worthy of being the most prosperous dynasty in the economic and cultural circles of the phantom martial arts world, and the selected warriors are more than one million more than the Ming Dynasty.
The two major dynasties of the Ming and Song dynasties were located in the southernmost part of the Illusory Martial Realm Continent, and to the south of them were endless oceans that did not need to be defended, so Xia Fan's enemies were only the Tang Dynasty in the west and the three great powers of the Qing Dynasty and the Great Yuan in the north, as well as dozens of small and medium-sized countries in between.
As a result, Xia Fan ordered two million elite troops to be deployed in the northern Song Dynasty to temporarily defend the three medium-sized dynasties of Northern Xinjiang, Daliao, Dajin and Western Xia, while the remaining one million troops of the Great Song Dynasty and the one million army of the Ming Dynasty were combined together, and Xia Fan marched west with Xia Fan and marched into the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, many dynasties in the Phantom Martial Arts Realm were still fighting each other, and there was no willingness to send troops to the Xia Fan territory such as the Great Song Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
What's more, the new construction of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the military or the court, is an emerging and powerful power, but it is different from the decay of the Great Song Dynasty, in the eyes of many top-level figures in the fantasy martial arts world, Xia Fan sent troops to the Tang Dynasty with an army of two million, and he would only hit his head and bleed.
To the east of the Tang Dynasty is the territory of the original Great Song Dynasty, and to the north is the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
This time, because Xia Fan's army was on the border, millions of troops were deployed on the border of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, among which in the first pass in the world, Tongguan, the Tang Dynasty laid down 500,000 troops to defend it, and Xia Fan's 2 million army was absolutely impossible to break.
Facing the danger of the first level in the world, Xia Fan also knew that not to mention two million troops, even if there were five million, they would not be able to break through the first level in the world.
It's just that there is no fortress in the world that cannot be broken, even if it is the first level in the world.
When Xia Fan led an army of two million to Tongguan, Xia Fan's army passed the first pass in the world without being hindered by the difficulties he imagined.
Xia Fan had already been deployed in various countries ten years ago, and the powerful soldiers trained invincible soldiers and became the elite aces of various dynasties, and because of the iron-blooded battle spirit, no one knew about these layouts except for the parties.
Now the 500,000 troops in the first pass of the Tang Dynasty are the most elite and heroic troops in the Tang Dynasty, and the 200,000 troops are part of the million soldiers deployed by Xia Fan in the Tang Dynasty.
Even if it is the first level in the world, if it is attacked from the inside, it can be said to be vulnerable.
Successfully passing through Tongguan can be said to be equivalent to entering the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no Xiongguan in the pass that can stop the footsteps of Xia Fan's army, and the major sects in the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Heimu Cliff and lost a large number of masters, which greatly weakened the combat power of Datang.
And the most important thing is that not all martial artists in the Tang martial arts world have a rebellious attitude towards Xia Fan's arrival, among which Kou Zhong is the most powerful supporter of Xia Fan's unification of the phantom martial arts world.
At that time, the Great Sui lost his morality, and Kou Zhong was also one of the heroes, but Li Shimin's background was far stronger than everyone including Kou Zhong, coupled with the help of Cihang Jingzhai and other Baidao sects, Kou Zhong had to retire gloomily.
However, Kou Zhong was obviously unwilling, and he could not have any good impression of the Li family, so when Xia Fan launched a war to dominate the world, when Xia Fan marched into the Tang Dynasty, Kou Zhong became the first supporter.
Kou Zhong's attitude determined the attitude of Xu Ziling, another of Ssangyong, and also determined the attitude of Song Valve, and Song Valve's attitude represented the attitude of most Han people in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the final fate of Datang was decided in just one and a half months, and Datang became Xia Fan's third conquered dynasty, and at this time, Xia Fan had already occupied nearly half of the land in the Phantom Martial Arts Realm.
With the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, all the small dynasties located on the southern continent of the Phantom Martial Realm also surrendered to Xia Fan, and there was no need for Xia Fan to send troops.
From the beginning of Xia Fan's conquest of the world to now, three months have passed, these three months seem to be short, but they have made all the Han countries in the Phantom Martial Realm unified by Xia Fan.
At this time, the Great Yuan, the Great Qing Dynasty and other northern alien races were truly aware of Xia Fan's threat, and the lightning-like strength of the troops, even the Great Yuan Dynasty, which had the largest land area and the strongest armament in the Phantom Martial Realm, felt that it was difficult to resist for a while.
Therefore, the alliance was quickly established, and all the small and medium-sized dynasties in the north formed a northern alien alliance under the strength of the two dynasties of the Great Yuan and the Great Qing, and gathered heavy troops and masters on the border line between the Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty to strictly prevent the Xia Fan army from advancing.
However, at this time, Xia Fan did not immediately send troops to attack, and after the three major dynasties were defeated, although for various reasons, Xia Fan did not consume many troops, but the vast territory also brought chaos in rule.
Xia Fan knew that he had to sort out his big rear, so that the politics were clear and smooth, the place was peaceful, and the people were rich and vulgar, so that he could bring a safe rear and enough help for him to conquer the Phantom Martial Realm.
Xia Fan is good at fighting, he is not good at the governance of the territory, and he has no interest, his will only exists for war.
However, this is nothing, the governance talents of the territory are countless within the scope of his current power, and Xia Fan did not interfere in these matters at all, and completely handed them over to the newly established court to deal with.
The ministers in the court were served by the real virtuous ministers, famous ministers, and capable ministers in the Ming, Song and Tang dynasties, and with these ministers handling the government affairs, Xia Fan completely focused all his energy on the reform of the army
And this new court is still a monarch and a monarchy, even if it is a monarch and an emperor, it is inevitable to have an emperor, Xia Fan is not interested in the position of this emperor, and it is not a simple matter to do a good job in the position of the emperor.
Within the scope of Xia Fan's rule, there are three families who can sit in that position, the Zhu family in the former Ming Dynasty, the Zhao family in the former Song Dynasty, and the Li family in the former Tang Dynasty.
The Li family is the most suitable to be the emperor among the three, which Xia Fan can't deny, but the Li family's ambitions are too great, even if Xia Fan controls the military power, they will not really calm down, and will do everything possible to seize power, which will make Xia Fan's rear unstable.
What Xia Fan needs is a stable rear that can provide him with endless strategic resources, so it doesn't matter to Xia Fan whether the emperor is wise or not, whether he is the hero of the world or not.
The emperor of the Zhao family is better than Wencai, and it can be said that he is a literati among the emperors, but literati are not necessarily Confucians, they are too afraid of death, and they do not have the courage to face life and death like Confucianism, and the political position of an emperor who is afraid of death is easy to shake, which is not what Xia Fan needs.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are not necessarily virtuous, in the eyes of others, some of them are brutal, some are fun, and some are mediocre, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have adhered to their ancestral teachings - no harmony, no tribute, no land, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
There is this insistence, it is enough for Xia Fan, and as for the governance of the court, it is naturally handed over to those capable officials.
And all Xia Fan has to do is to train the soldiers and popularize the iron-blooded battle qi to the whole army, which is Xia Fan's top priority.
