Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 568
Wang Jing obviously lacked sufficient adaptability. Facing the uprisings that were raging like wildfire in various regions, the noble officials did not analyze the reasons in depth, but simply suppressed the matter.

In fact, Wang Jing does not lack far-sighted officials, but as the nobles regained control of the government, a large number of aristocratic children flooded into the officialdom, and talented young officials from poor families encountered various exclusions, either resigned to the Qingshui Yamen, or submitted to Lin Chuan. Indignantly, he resigned from office.

The huge Wangjing Center is full of aristocratic officials who only know how to walk dogs and raise birds. Faced with the appeals of the rebels and the people everywhere, they are at a loss and make foolish tricks.

In Lin Chuan's view, Wang Jing's contingency measures were simply self-destruction of the Great Wall. They used titles to encourage officials from all over the country to wipe out the rebels. It's not just a sentence, there must be corresponding supporting facilities, such as building a palace and so on.

In addition, the princes from all over the place grabbed a handful, and the dukes went everywhere. Behind the flood of rewards, these positions became worthless, and Wang Jing's prestige was constantly losing.

In order to exterminate the rebels everywhere, Wang Jing made a second foolish trick, which was to allow the governors of the provinces and the bandit suppression princes to recruit soldiers by themselves to deal with the shortage of regular troops. Wang Jing did not pay any money for the army, which led to new The recruited soldiers became the private army of the governors of various provinces, and the result was that the governors embraced their own self-respect, and Wang Jing gradually lost control of the local area. In Lin Chuan's view, this was fatal.

Time entered the second ten days of July, and the situation in the provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty had undergone fundamental changes. The victorious army of the dynasty regained the city, but they fell into the quagmire of war.

The rebel troops were expelled from the city, and they returned to the countryside. The dynasty army thought they had the situation under control, but what they didn't expect was that their nightmare had just begun.

The disbanded rebel army did not give up the struggle. They turned to the countryside as their base, and used the vast mountains, rivers, fields and jungles as their battlefields to attack the dynasty patrols, capture the military depots with few garrisons, and capture the dynasty army's transport convoy...

Facing the sneak attack of the rebel army, the Dynasty army dispatched an absolute main force to encircle and suppress them. But as soon as the army arrived, the rebel army immediately hid in the mountains, forests and fields, and fled into the countryside. They couldn't even catch the shadow of the rebel army. Withdrew, these areas became the world of the rebels again.

The insurgents scattered around the city have been fighting sporadically. They are constantly growing. Many young and strong soldiers have become qualified soldiers. Now the dynasty army can control only some important towns. When they leave the city, they must guard against cold arrows. , the communication between the various cities was often cut off, and the army of the dynasty fell into the quagmire of war. Although they had a huge force, they couldn't play their due role at all.

The vast rural areas were occupied, and the direct result was the reduction of the dynasty's tax revenue, the further aggravation of the country's financial crisis, and the lack of military pay for the army. They could only secretly plunder those remote villages, and the contradictions further intensified.

On July 25, a 300-man cavalry unit of the Northern Army massacred two villages near the province of Bohemia, completely angering the Red Scarf Army, an uprising force in this area.

After a series of small-scale battles, the Red Turban Army's combat effectiveness is no less than that of the regular army of the dynasty. If there is a real gap, it is only weapons and equipment.

On July 26, the 1000 Red Turban Army in the province of Bohemia began to assemble and re-attacked the city. They captured two towns in a row and killed more than [-] northern soldiers.

Zheng Feiying, head of the Northern Army's Banner Regiment in Bohemia, was furious, and immediately mobilized two northern army battalions, and a local garrison of one banner regiment with a total of 6000 reinforcements.

The two sides had an encounter in the Bohemia Plain. Facing the 1 Red Scarf Army, Zheng Feiying, the head of the Northern Army Banner, did not take it seriously. He believed that his more than [-] elite armed to the teeth were enough to destroy the opponent.

But the truth turned out to be unexpected. At the end of the war, the [-] dynasty army including Zheng Feiying was completely annihilated, not even a single messenger escaped back, and the Red Scarf Army won a big victory.

The Red Scarf Army, which had acquired countless weapons and equipment from the imperial army, was even more imposing. With the power of victory, they conquered the capital of the Crimea province in just three days.

At the beginning of August, the Northern Army Commander Gu Chongyue led four elite banner regiments to destroy the rising Red Turban Army. However, they were ambushed by the Red Turban Army on the way, and the four elite banner regiments lost most of their lives. He retreated to the province of Silia in embarrassment and completely lost control of the province of Crimea.

The brave northern army suffered disastrous defeats one after another. The emperor was furious and dismissed Zhou E as the commander of the Northern Army Marshal. This decision encountered joint resistance from the generals of the northern army. The emperor had to change the order and let Zhou E take the blame. Continuing to serve as Marshal of the Union Army.

However, over and over again, there was a gap between the northern army that was originally loyal to Wang Jing and Wang Jing. With the shortage of military supplies, the rift between the two sides became wider and wider. In the end, the northern army directly occupied the province of Silia. The three provinces in the country began to preserve their strength and refused to fight under the pretext that the general was out and the emperor's order was not accepted.

The central army is far away on the western border, and the southern army is watching the mercenary empire from the southern border, while the northern army has begun to be disobedient. The Nanchuan army is responsible for preventing the Hanhai Empire from continuing to advance westward, and cannot be mobilized. The inner guard army directly commanded by Wang Jing Facing the uprising army like a scourge, Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of Wang Jing's cabinet, suggested that Emperor Long Han borrow troops from the Rong people in the north.

Faced with an increasingly difficult situation to control, Emperor Long Han finally agreed to the proposal of borrowing troops. The Rong people have long coveted the fertile land of the Far Eastern Dynasty, but they were afraid of the mighty strength of the Far Eastern Dynasty before and did not dare to act rashly. Now that the Far Eastern Dynasty has asked them to Borrowing soldiers, naturally happy and hastily agreed.

In mid-August, 20 Rong cavalry crossed the northern border and entered the territory of the dynasty. Their task was to help the Far East dynasty wipe out the rebel army in its territory.

"Zhou Rulin wronged the country!!" Lin Chuan, who was far away in Nanchuan Province, learned that Wang Jing had borrowed 20 cavalry from the Rong people, and immediately slapped the table angrily and roared.

This is not a borrowing of soldiers, it is clearly a way to lure wolves into the house. The Rong people are ambitious and have coveted the dynasty for a long time. Their wolf ambition is not weaker than that of the Hanhai people. But now they send troops to the dynasty, and it is too difficult for them to go back.

Although Lin Chuan was very disappointed with the Far Eastern Dynasty, he did not openly oppose the Dynasty, but he just listened to Xuan and used the Nanchuan Army to guard the eastern border and guard against the people of Hanhai.

As the Far Eastern Dynasty borrowed troops from the Rong people, Lin Chuan knew that the 300-year-old Far Eastern Dynasty was over.
