Chapter 418: Shang Dynasty
After 18,000 years of the flood and famine, Zi Tianyi made "Tang Oath", ascended to the heights, and the princes of the world responded. Set the name of the country as a business, and march south to Xia Ji. More than half of the land in Kyushu was declared to be separated from the rule of the Xia Dynasty and became the Shu State of Shang. And the rest of the land that is not ordinary is also unstable and treacherous.
After the "Tang Oath", the Shang capital sent troops, the army went south, and the morale was high. The hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Shang State were all trained by Yang Fanhai in the way of the Yanzhou battalion back then, although they had never practiced the Xuangong Immortal Method, but they surpassed other troops in terms of combat effectiveness and discipline.
This is the method he used to lead the northern army in the past, using the Yanzhou battalion to drive the confidence and morale of other large armies.
The combat effectiveness of the army under the rule of mediocrity is about to be greatly reduced, especially when this person is unstable, how can he be the opponent of the Shang army. All the way south, invincible, just as Gongsun Xuanyuan led the army of the bear country to the north to conquer in the past, Yang Fanhai used almost the same route all the way south.
At the same time, he also divided his troops to annex Jizhou and Yongzhou, and the army bypassed and attacked Zhengcheng from three sides. No one thought that the army of the Shang State would attack so quickly, and when Xia Wei reacted, he found that except for Yuzhou, all parts of the country were out of control.
Even Jingzhou, which was captured not long ago, has changed its banner, and although it has not yet been included in the Shang State, it no longer regards itself as a territory of the Xia State. As for Liangzhou, it is not a force.
Yang Fanhai knew what was waiting in these places, and he wanted to wait for Zi Tianyi and the army of Lu Qi to fight to the death. If both lose, they also have the opportunity to enter Zhengcheng, after all, they are also the descendants of Gongsun Xuanyuan, and they have the blood of the Holy Emperor.
It's a pity that Yang Fanhai has been secretly planning for this battle for too many years, just like his former disciples, who have spent decades planning and will not give others a chance at all.
All the way to the south, more than ninety percent of the princes and horses from all over the country were incorporated into the army. At this time, Zi Tianyi was in the limelight, and this dispatch of troops was an invitation from various countries, so many princes had no reason to refuse at all, so they could only obey.
Thousands of troops came from the north and south, and finally converged in Mingtiao, Yuzhou. This was the largest war in Kyushu since the Nanying Mutiny, and the total number of soldiers and horses on both sides exceeded 3 million.
This kind of war is no stranger to Yang Fanhai, he has experienced too much. Now that he has changed from charging into strategizing, he has a very different feeling.
In the past, as long as he looked ahead, he could only look ahead. A general who charges into battle will not think about the rear at the beginning of the war, all he has to do is to defeat the enemy in front.
And as a commander, it is like a god standing in the sky overlooking the entire battlefield and even Kyushu. He needs to think about support, logistics, all aspects of supply, and he needs to be able to see the enemy's movements, and even everything about the enemy, so that he can give orders that can inflict the maximum effect on the enemy.
Lu Gui personally set out to defeat the Shang army, but unfortunately in front of Yang Fanhai, he was like a child, and he was not an opponent at all. Carrying the combat methods of the Yanzhou battalion in the past, the army of the Shang State has one word: fast.
Yang Fanhai will only have a million troops, and directly attack the Xia State army formation with lightning speed, and even make the most elite 100,000 troops directly take the middle camp of Xu.
I only know when I have seen such a battle, and when I came to my senses, I found that the general trend had gone, and I fled south in a panic.
There was no suspense in this war, Yang Fanhai asked Zi Tianyi to personally lead the most elite army to pursue, and the other horses were responsible for receiving all places.
Zi Tianyi chased and killed all the way, and finally took down the Xuqi in Yangzhou Nanchao. However, he did not kill the former lord of the Xia Dynasty, but made a palace be built near the Nanchao and put Lu Qi under house arrest inside.
At the end of the battle of Mingtiao, the strength of the Shang State was unmatched in the world, Liangzhou and Jingzhou asked to return to Shun, and on the ruins of the Xia Dynasty, Zi Tianyi was promoted to the new emperor, called "Chengtang", and established a new country: the Shang Dynasty.
It took decades for Yang Fanhai to finally successfully cultivate an emperor he wanted. But this time, he did not retire easily, but accepted the reward from Zi Tianyi and stayed in the national capital as prime minister. He needs to continue to watch the country and not let the Shang Dynasty repeat the mistakes of the Xia Dynasty.
Although he divided all the power to govern the country, no one dared to despise him. Everyone knows that the world of the Shang Dynasty can be said to have been completely defeated by him, and the most elite armies are also under his orders.
obviously doesn't mix with political affairs, but when everyone has any problems, they will send them to him, and even Zi Tianyi acquiesced in the matter.
Yang Fanhai was helpless about these things, because he really didn't want to take care of the affairs of governing the country, as long as those people didn't harbor evil intentions, even if they were mediocre, it didn't matter, the Shang Dynasty would always make progress slowly, and all he had to watch was the emperor.
But some things are like that, even if you don't have the heart, you can't worry about it in this position. Yang Fanhai didn't want things to develop like this, but he himself had to admit that his identity, Yi Yin, had become the first and biggest powerful minister since Huaxia unified Kyushu. In terms of prestige, it even surpassed Cheng Tangzi Tianyi.
The Shang Dynasty was founded only three years ago, and he ended up depressed, and Zi Tianyi made his name his nickname: 桀, which is a tyrant.
The vitality of the human race began to recover again, but just as the luck of the Qi Dynasty was affected after the Qi, the kings of the Xia Dynasty no longer lived very long, and the same was true of the Shang Dynasty. Zi Tianyi reigned for only ten years, and then died, because his eldest son died early, so he was succeeded by his second son Wai C.
Wai Bing had a shorter life than Zi Tianyi, and he only served as the emperor for three years before returning to the west, and his younger brother Zhongren succeeded to the throne. Although Zhongren is better than Wai C, it is a pity that he still has a short life, but he will die in four years.
What's even more troublesome is that when Zhongren died, he did not set a prince, leaving the Shang Dynasty without a leader. Moreover, the successors after Zi Tianyi were short-lived, which caused rumors to be born in the world, saying that Zi Tianyi's lineage was not the bloodline of Gongsun Xuanyuan and could not afford the emperor's position.
For a while, there was an undercurrent in the world, and the waves were treacherous, and the princes and princes everywhere had objections. The ministers of the DPRK and China had no choice but to gather at Yang Fanhai and ask him to come out to preside over the overall situation.
Yang Fanhai didn't have the idea of interfering in the situation in the world, because he didn't want to interfere too much with the world, so he didn't do anything even if he watched Zi Tianyi and his two sons die, and even he had plans to leave. But the situation of the Shang Dynasty is really not what he wants, and the result of continuing is no less than a Kyushu war, and in desperation, he stood up again.
Taijia, the eldest son of Lizi Tianyi, is the son of heaven and sets the unification. The most elite army was stationed in the place where Jianmu was cut off in the past, and the princes of Yongzhou and Jingzhou were shocked. These two princes did not rebel, and the princes of other parts of the world would never dare to raise troops.
He took out the god-killing spear and directed the will of the god of war again, and confirmed the fact of the bloodline of the Holy Emperor Zitianyi with his own words, blocking the mouth of the world, and the Shang Dynasty Gangchang returned to normal again.
Yang Fanhai thought that he could stop there, but he didn't think that things were not so smooth. The successor Taijia is not a virtuous person, but a gentleman. The first two emperors were his uncles, and it seemed that they wanted to make him less capable of kings, which would be more conducive to their own stable position, so they spoiled him as an extremely willful fellow.
Although it is not as mediocre as Xia Wei, it is not too much. Yang Fanhai was not polite, and directly punished this rebellious kid for three years.
A courtier dared to punish the king to face the wall, even Yang Fanhai himself would never have imagined that there would be such a day, but no one dared to say anything. Such an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and also a powerful minister in the true sense, who dares to say.
After three years of facing the wall, Taijia finally came down honestly, and Yang Fanhai asked him to come back and continue to be the emperor.
When he regained power, the first thing Taijia did was to order the construction of war temples everywhere in the world to worship the god of war. For the first time, he realized that many things were not something he could do if he wanted to.
After the rebellious period, he became mature, and realized that he could become a god in this vein not because of his grandfather's ability, but because of the blessing of the god of war. Since then, the Shang Dynasty has only respected the god of war in addition to respecting the emperor and respecting the heavens.
Seeing that the entire Kyushu was worshipping himself, Yang Fanhai had an indescribable strange feeling, but he didn't stop it, not because he wanted to be greedy for these false names, but because this kind of worship could not only make the power of his faith stronger, but also suppress the interception and exposition of the religion, and transfer the faith, so that these two religions could not affect the political affairs of the Shang Dynasty.
Taijia seems to have broken the fate of his father, although he is not a long-lived person, but he is no longer as short-lived as them, and he reigned for more than twenty years before he died, and his son Wodin succeeded him.
Yang Fanhai felt that his identity as Yiyin had lived for too long, and when he saw the stability of the world, he pretended to die. But he did not leave there, but changed his other identities and continued to live in the officialdom of the Shang Dynasty.
The emperors after Taijia seem to have inherited the short life of their ancestors, either a few years or more than ten years, and only a few have reached twenty years.
In hundreds of years, the emperors have changed one by one, and even the Shang capital has changed several times because of this. It was a chaotic time, and the change of emperor made imperial power less formidable than it once was. So it was with the princes everywhere, and so it was with the people.
Because the transmission of news was not smooth enough, there was even a news that a royal family succeeded to the throne today, and a few days later, the emperor changed again.
Yang Fanhai has been watching secretly, although the world is chaotic, it is not that the people are not happy, and the governance of various places is not mediocre, at most, the emperor is unstable. As long as there is no large-scale war, he will not intervene directly, but will just push something secretly.
I thought that I could keep doing this until a virtuous emperor appeared and then reorganized the dynasty, but I didn't expect trouble to come.
