Chapter 1011: Ending IV
Chapter 1011: Ending IV
The Shengyuan Dynasty was restored, and the whole country was joyful. The people were only happy, without any dissatisfaction or uneasiness.
They knew that a powerful era had come, and from now on, they would be the people of the Shengyuan Dynasty, and they would no longer have to be bullied by the Central Empire.
And Xiao Tianyao did not disappoint them. After the domestic situation stabilized, Xiao Tianyao would target the Central Empire.
Of course, Xiao Tianyao's move was not to provoke a war, he was to regain the land belonging to the Shengyuan Dynasty and the imperial capital of their Shengyuan Dynasty.
This move received support from the people across the country. After learning that Xiao Tianyao would send troops to the Central Empire to recover their losses, many nobles and big landowners donated money and food one after another. Even ordinary people also donated money and even signed up to join the army this year. The number of people was growing like a spurt.
For the four countries… no, for the people of the Shengyuan Dynasty, the most painful and humiliating thing in these years was being oppressed by the Central Empire, and nothing was more than their land and their imperial capital falling into the hands of the Central Empire.
Xiao Tianyao's move undoubtedly inspired the people.
At this moment, no matter how many overt and covert fights and selfish motives everyone had in private, they were all put aside one by one. At this moment, the Shengyuan Dynasty was united as one, just to regain the lost ground.
To show that he attached great importance to this battle, Xiao Tianyao went to war in person, leaving the Empress to supervise the country and the Crown Prince to participate in politics.
Of course, as soon as this order came out, all the civil and military ministers in the court were dissatisfied.
No matter whether it was the previous four countries or the Shengyuan Dynasty, women had never participated in politics, let alone an Empress supervising the country. This was simply ridiculous.
Xiao Tianyao did not explain, and only said: "The vanguard troops and horses attacking the Central Empire this time are the Empress's troops." If they want to use the troops and horses in the hands of the Empress, how can they not give the Empress the rights?
Well……
When the important ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, and they were all very depressed. They secretly resented the Emperor for pampering the Empress and giving her a powerful weapon like the Jinwuwei Army. It was simply child's play, but……
Their Emperor has always been very majestic. They could say this in their hearts, but no one dared to say it right in front of the other party's face.
In the end, the ministers and Xiao Tianyao each compromised and took a step back. The Crown Prince was supervising the country and the Empress was assisting the government. As for the power in Lin Chujiu's hands?
Whether she was supervising the country or assisting the government, Lin Chujiu had the same power. Lin Chujiu has the final say in the affairs of this country. The term "auxiliary government" was just to make the civil and military ministers feel more comfortable.
Lin Chujiu has no interest in state affairs. She participated in political affairs just to guard the rear for Xiao Tianyao. Whether she was supervising the country or assisting the government was not important to her. As long as she has enough power in her hands, she can guard the rear on behalf of Xiao Tianyao. It was enough to be able to protect this world for her son.
In the second year after Xiao Tianyao proclaimed himself emperor, he left behind the eight-year-old Crown Prince and Empress and led an army of 300,000 to the border between the Central Empire and the Shengyuan Dynasty to regain their lost territory.
At this time, the civil strife between the two princes of the Central Empire was coming to an end, and the third prince was about to be defeated. However, Xiao Tianyao suddenly sent troops, forcing the eldest prince to mobilize his troops to deal with Xiao Tianyao's fierce attack.
The soldiers and horses were dispersed, and the pressure on the third prince was suddenly reduced. As a result, the third prince got a chance to breathe. He took a breath and recovered his strength.
The Eldest Prince was sitting busily in the capital of the Central Empire. On the one hand, he has to send troops to deal with the rebellion of the Third Prince, and on the other hand, he has to deal with Xiao Tianyao's troops. It was quite difficult. Fortunately, the Central Empire has strong troops and horses, so it can be dealt with temporarily.
He can support the situation. But if things continue like this, using troops at both ends will disperse the force, and it would be impossible to capture both ends, which will be detrimental to the empire.
The Dongyang Family and the Hua Family had thought about persuading the Eldest Prince to give up one end and focus on the other to reduce the pressure on the Central Empire, but they were stopped by the eldest son of the Dongyang Family.
"The Eldest Prince knows that we are on good terms with the new emperor of the Shengyuan Dynasty. If we persuade the Eldest Prince at this time, even if we don't have that intention, the Eldest Prince will think that we are doing this regardless of the interests of the Central Empire and persuade him to transfer the land of the Shengyuan Dynasty to the new emperor."
"Although the new emperor of the Shengyuan Dynasty has a close relationship with us, we are still members of the Central Empire. We must not let the Eldest Prince get the chance to think that we have joined forces with the Shengyuan Dynasty to harm the interests of the Central Empire."
"And who of you can guarantee that the Eldest Prince cannot win at the same time if he uses his troops on both sides? You know that the Central Empire has strong soldiers and horses, and its national power is far superior to the Shengyuan Dynasty."
"If you persuade the Eldest Prince to give up at this time, and the Eldest Prince gives up as you wish, who of you can guarantee that the Eldest Prince will not regret it in the future? After all, no one will believe that they can't do it without experiencing failure."
What Young Master Dongyang said was very reasonable. Although people from the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family felt that the eldest prince’s move was weakening the country’s power, which would ultimately displease both parties, after listening to Young Master Dongyang’s words, they still shut up obediently and stopped trying to persuade as not to displease both ends.
Right and left, the Central Empire belongs to the Eldest Prince. The Eldest Prince can do whatever he wants. Even if the Central Empire is lost, they have nothing to lose.
The Eldest Prince is an extremely stubborn person, and he is also extremely confident. Without anyone to persuade him, he has been struggling to support himself, refusing to let go of both ends and starting a war with both ends at the same time.
He believed that he would win in the end, as long as he persisted, but……
Not every persistence will yield the same reward.
For three years, the Central Empire fought against the Shengyuan Dynasty for three full years, but in the end, it ended the Central Empire's defeat.
The Central Empire was defeated, and the first battle between the Shengyuan Dynasty and the Central Empire lasted for three years and finally ended with the Shengyuan Dynasty's complete victory.
The victory of this war was extremely important to the Shengyuan Dynasty. This battle not only regained the territory that the Shengyuan Dynasty had lost for nearly a hundred years but also allowed the people of the Shengyuan Dynasty to regain their former self-confidence.
See, the Central Empire wasn't scary.
Look, the Central Empire who have been stepping on them for nearly a hundred years and dominating their territory were not that strong, and they were defeated by their Emperor.
Look, their Emperor was much stronger than those Central Empire's people. He defeated them with only 300,000 troops and drove the Central Empire out of their land.
"We won. We won. The Shengyuan Dynasty won. The land that belongs to us and the imperial capital that belongs to us has been returned to us."
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
"Long live the Shengyuan Dynasty. Long live the Shengyuan Dynasty."
"We won, we won, we defeated the Central Empire."
"We won, we won…"
As soon as the news of the victory spread back to the court, the people of Shengyuan went crazy, crying and shouting one by one, wanting to vent all the oppression they had suffered for the past century.
They lived too hard these years, and now they have finally turned around. They finally defeated the Central Empire, and they can finally let out the breath they have been holding for nearly a hundred years……
