Chapter 1: The Great Rise and Fall

In 952 of the Taikang calendar, the Nine-Power Alliance led by the Dachang Empire attacked Lingcheng, the capital of the Daxing Dynasty.

In the Daxing Imperial Palace, it was quiet, the lord of the country sat on the throne, and the ministers of civil and military affairs stood on both sides below. Standing in front of the lord of the country was the envoy of the coalition army, Fang Suru, the prime minister of the Dachang Empire.

"Your Majesty, our coalition army is preparing to attack the city in two days, and there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides at present, if Your Majesty really thinks about the people of Daxing, it is best to open the city and surrender. Fang Xuru said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The lord of Daxing was silent, staring straight ahead, thinking that if he hadn't been too merciful at the beginning, and let go of Dongfang Yu, the crown prince of the Dachang Empire, there would be no situation where the Nine-Nation Alliance troops were approaching the city today. At that time, Daxing discovered a very large iron ore mine, and weapons need iron tools to build, the reason why the Dachang Empire is the strongest among the ten countries is because Dachang has the largest iron ore resources in the entire continent. Dongfang Yu sent an envoy to Daxingguo, learned the news that Daxing had discovered an iron ore mountain, and hurriedly wanted to return to China.

After the lord of Daxing knew about it, he intercepted Dongfang Yu and his party of several hundred, and most of the ministers of civil and military affairs suggested that the lord of the country kill Dongfang Yu and his party, and then said that they were killed by thieves at the border, and it was a big deal to pay some money.

Dongfang Yu knew that the lord of the country was merciful, and swore to the sky that he would never leak any information to the outside world, otherwise he would not die a good death. The lord of Daxing was indeed soft-hearted, so he let go of the Oriental fish.

Half a year later, Jiuguo asked to share the iron ore mountain with Daxing, but Daxing of course did not agree. Considering that the balance of military power would be broken in the future, the countries led by Dachang Province instigated the eight countries to send troops together to rejuvenate the country and share resources at that time. So, today's scene appeared.

"I want your lord Dongfang Kang and the representatives of various countries to meet in person, and I will be at the pavilion outside the city at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Yang Longbin, the lord of the country, said.

"Okay, I'll bring it when I go back, and if we have any objections, I'll send someone to tell His Majesty." Fang Xuru said.

After sending Fang Xuru away, the lord of the country called his four sons and said: "Tomorrow I will try my best to protect you, the Taikang Continent has been the coexistence of ten countries for hundreds of years, and today the Dachang Empire is afraid that we will one day threaten its hegemony, so since he has sent troops today, he will definitely not give up, this time it is difficult to escape." ”

"I hope you can keep my Yang bloodline, and if there is another day, you can restore my Daxing Dynasty. ”

After that, the lord of the country discussed some things with several trusted ministers of civil and military affairs, and went to the temple to kneel, after all, he was also tired, and he had been the lord of the country for decades, and the most sorry thing was the ancestors and the ancestors, who lost the country in his hands.

The next day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, the weather was very good, and the representatives of the coalition forces were also in a good mood, they knew that after today, the war would be over, and they could return to the DPRK. But at the same time, the representatives of some countries are also worried, Xu Qing, the prime minister of the Great Change Kingdom, knows that after this time, the future Taikang Continent will not be as peaceful as before, the balance of hundreds of years has been broken, and it will face a greater imbalance in the future, that is, a bigger war.

The lord of Daxing is walking this way, the speed is not fast, but his expression is natural, as if he is doing a very ordinary thing. A country is everything for a countryowner, and it is a responsibility left to him by his ancestors, and the pain in Yang Longbin's heart is difficult for others to understand.

He walked slowly, wanting to see more of the country and the city. He knew that Dongfang Kang, the lord of Dachang Kingdom, hated him for taking away the love of his heart back then, and even more so that the love in his heart ended up depressed. Dongfang Kang is first for resources, and more for revenge and anger of the year. Therefore, Dongfang Kang coerced and lured other countries to take this opportunity to destroy the Daxing Kingdom, and after the partition, the Dachang Empire will also be stronger and more prosperous, maybe one day, he can realize the wish that he dared not think about and unify the continent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Taikang Continent is very old, and my Daxing Empire has existed for five hundred years, and it has always been the coexistence of ten countries, and there has never been a situation of annexing other countries. Our ancestors also had the same heart and knew that if this balance was broken, there would be no peace on the mainland in the future, and there would be even greater imbalance and even endless wars in the future. Think about it, isn't that so?" Yang said.

"Lord Daxing, you don't have to cry and pretend to be pitiful, it's useless, if you knew the current affairs, how could you get to this point today, it's too late for you to regret it now, if you come to tell us this, then this meeting can end now, you can go back and wait for us to attack the city." "Dongfang Kang, the lord of the Dachang Empire, is the person in charge of this time, and he is also the person with the greatest right to speak, and the lords of the Dazhi Kingdom, the Grand Duchy and the Dashan Country who are friendly with the Dachang Kingdom are here, and the other coalition forces have sent generals or prime ministers over.

"Dongfang Kang, are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will tell you your ambitions?"

"Lord Daxing, you don't have to be so alienated from us, when we persuaded you before, you said that the country is in the mine, and now you just take out the mine, we won't agree, when we get here, we have no reason to retreat. The lord of the mountain said.

"Okay, it's okay to surrender in Kaesong, I have two demands, first, you can't mutilate my subjects, and second, let all my Yang clan people go. If you can agree to these two demands, I can abdicate tomorrow and remove my name from the country. Yang Longbin, the lord of Daxing, said.

All the countries looked at the lord of Dachang, which meant that he had made up his mind.

"Yes, I can assure you that our subjects will be treated like our own subjects in the future, and we will never be harsh, after all, your subjects will be our subjects in the future. As for your people, and even your closest relatives, we will not harm them, and we will invite them to our capital to live a life of great prosperity and food and clothing, and so on for generations to come, until the end of our old age. In these two things, I, Dongfang Kang, will never break my word. ”

"Then as for you Yang Longbin, I'm still not at ease, you are in the country, don't you say?" Dongfang Kang continued.

"If you want me to die, yes, you must write an oath not to harm my subjects and my Yang clansmen, as long as it is written, I will do as you wish. The lord of Daxing said.

"Everyone, the lord of Daxing is so happy, we should also be happy, just follow what the lord of Daxing said, give him an oath, and let him go with peace of mind. The lord of Dachang said.

The delegates of various countries also began to get busy, and immediately prepared paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and began to write. It didn't take a while for it to be written. After handing each other over and looking at it, there was no problem. Printed with the national seals and seals of various countries.

Daxingguo got the oath, read it carefully, and put it away. "You will go into the city tomorrow. The lord of Daxing dropped these words, turned around and walked back.

At this time, the heart is complicated, there is unwillingness, and there is also a sense of liberation.

For so many years, he has worked hard for the country and the people, maybe his ability is not enough or the method is wrong, or it may be that his benevolent character is not suitable for being the lord of the country. The sons under their knees are even worse than the current ruler because of the laissez-faire of the lord, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to keep them safe in their lives.

After returning to the palace, the lord of Daxing passed down an edict that at six o'clock tomorrow morning, he would open the gate of the capital and surrender. At the same time, the oath was copied and passed on throughout the country to ensure the safety of his subjects and clansmen.

On the second day, my father-in-law went to find the lord of Daxing, but there was no response. The people in the palace began to look for the lord of the country, and finally found it in the Taimiao, and the lord of the country had committed suicide in front of the ancestors and ancestors. A generation of emperors is gone. No last words were left.

At this point, the Great Rejuvenation Kingdom perished. According to the agreement before the dispatch of troops, the Nine Kingdoms divided the Daxing Kingdom, including the coveted Iron Ore Mountain Range. The Yang family of the Daxing royal family all followed Dachang to Yancheng, the capital of Dachang Kingdom.

Originally, the ten countries, Dachang was the strongest, in the middle of the continent, and the other nine countries were distributed around, and all parties were just restraining each other, and they did not dare to conquer, and once they conquered, they would inevitably be united by many countries. This time, due south of the country of Daxing fell, the country of Dachang became more powerful, the land area reached nearly a quarter of the mainland, and there was no country in the south.

To the west of Daechang Province is the Daesan Province and the Daeshi Kingdom, separated by the Taemu Mountain Range. To the east are the Great Reform Kingdom, the Great Mongolian Kingdom, the Great Sword Kingdom and the Great Taiwan Kingdom, and the Kangding Mountains are separated by it. To the north is the Grand Duchy, which has always been friendly with the Great Chang Kingdom.
