Chen Zhao accepted the imperial edict not because he was afraid of the Chu Dynasty.

He even killed the emperor's most trusted ministers, he pierced the Royal Forest Army and the Liaodong Frontier Army, and he also captured all the famous and powerful generals. With his fist in hand, I own the world! The Chu Dynasty, which is a mere empire, is no longer there.

Put it in his eyes.

The current problem is that his rise is too fast and his talent pool is almost non-existent.

Liu Bang invaded Xianyang with thousands of men. Even though he was later forced to become the king of Hanzhong, he had already established a strong team, and the overall quality of this team was quite high, so high that he could dominate the world.

Chen Zhao's current subordinates are actually a group of small businessmen and small landowners. Although with his help, they learned skills in a short period of time and prospered in their respective hometowns, it is obvious that their background is far from enough.

If he really fights all the way to the capital and seizes the throne, he will just change the throne to another owner. At the same time, his power as emperor will be invisibly taken away by a bunch of old fat bureaucrats.

Quite a few.

Without ten or eight years of cultivating personal power, no matter how high his force value is, his lack of talents in dealing with people, administration, money, food, criminal names, taxes, etc. will only make his subordinates become outstanding figures who are ignored by the officials below.

With his absolute force, he would naturally not care, but what about his son and grandson?

The original drama shows that the son of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen is the reincarnation of Wen Quxing. This has been planned and is a general trend that cannot be changed by the Buddha.

If the Buddha, the World-Honored One, wants to spread the Dharma, he must act according to the general trend. If he changes the general trend, he will only be contaminated by cause and effect and cause damage to Buddhism.

So why bother?

If this is the case, his son is Wen Quxing, a guy who values ​​civility over martial arts. Even if he teaches martial arts to him, he will probably be psychologically close to civil servants and far away from military commanders.

If things go on like this, the team that I have worked so hard to put together will most likely be sold out by this son to please the civil servants.

If this is the case, it is better to accumulate strength on your own and unify the world in the future. The power of those important ministers based on their merits and qualifications is much stronger than the power obtained by Emperor Xinzhong.

Due to the serious losses of the Yulin Army and the Liaodong Frontier Army, the capital and frontiers were suddenly ready to move, and undercurrents surged for a while. The Emperor of Chu also concentrated his energy on these two aspects, allowing Chen Zhao to expand in the south of the Yangtze River.

After all, the emperor has been the emperor for a long time. Although his close ministers were killed and a large number of loyal guards were killed, after all, he still retained his power and had many talents. After a year or two of tossing around, he finally regained the throne and took control.

Beijing.

When the emperor regained control of the government, he suddenly discovered that the northeastern border was riddled with holes.

The main reason is that the Dandong Camp in Liaodong suffered heavy losses at the beginning, and the emperor was only focused on the capital for a while, so he paid less attention here, so a group of civil servants took advantage of them to line their own pockets, and they quickly became fat, but the morale of the army dropped again and again.

.

In addition, the governor of Liaodong was a civilian who thought highly of himself and underestimated the enemy. He led troops to fight against the border barbarians several times and suffered heavy losses. The last time he underestimated the enemy and rushed into you, he was ambushed and lost 50,000 elite border troops.

You know, Chen Zhao only lost more than a thousand elite soldiers in the first battle, but the entire elite army suffered heavy losses. The morale of the army was shattered and they fled in all directions.

Now the loss of 50,000 elite troops is more serious than the loss of four legions by Augustus. For a time, the border defense situation changed drastically. The barbarians became bigger again, plundered the border many times, and even threatened the Youzhou area, and threatened the Chu Dynasty.

The safety of the people was greatly shaken.

The emperor had to rearrange his elite troops to go north, but he didn't dare to relax his control on Chen Zhao, but he still didn't dare to provoke him, so he had to cover his ears and not really keep an eye on Chen Zhao.

After receiving the imperial edict, Chen Zhao was no longer interested in staying in Jinling. Anyway, his brother-in-law Li Gongfu would take over Jinling and serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of Jinling according to the latest imperial edict, able to command thousands of troops.

This was already the biggest compromise made by the Chu royal family. Chen Zhao did not care about himself, so he left Jinling and returned to Qiantang with Xia Bing.

After settling in for a period of time, Chen Zhao moved the Hanwen Martial Arts School to Hangzhou City, and at the same time established the Hanwen Commercial Company, the Hanwen Farm and the Hanwen Hall. At the same time, he also established a training regiment.

The trading company farm established by Chen Zhao adopts strict integrated management, and the regiment training is based on elite soldiers.

Three years later, Chen Zhao's power has greatly increased, and everyone in the world is looking at Chen Zhao's choices.

But before Chen Zhao could take action, the world was once again in chaos.

In the Central Plains area, due to three consecutive years of drought, and due to the increase in military expenditures for the Northern Frontier Army in the Chu Dynasty, the country had no spare capacity to provide disaster relief to the people.

Of course, there must be supplies and money, but unfortunately they all fall into the pockets of the government.

So, the White Lotus Sect took the opportunity to launch an uprising.

The rebel army was commanded by experts. Many officers and soldiers scattered and hid, while some few officers and soldiers swarmed forward. Even martial arts masters appeared and assassinated the generals. As a result, the officers and soldiers retreated steadily, and cities in the Central Plains were lost one after another.

The Emperor of Chu was furious, and he continuously mobilized troops, appointed capable generals, and poured money into the bottomless pit of the Central Plains. Finally, it took three years to suppress the White Lotus Rebellion.

Unexpectedly, when the gourd was pressed and the gourd lifted up, the Central Plains had just calmed down, and the Jingxiang area became chaotic again.

It turned out that the Mingjiao had been operating in the Jingxiang area for a long time and had deep-rooted strength. Seeing the exhaustion of the Chu Dynasty in suppressing the uprising in the Central Plains, they felt that the time was ripe, so they used the call of "The Ming King descends to earth to rebuild the world" to attack cities and territories and kill officials to rebel.

At this time, Chen Zhao's wife Bai Niangzi gave birth to a son for him, named Xu Shilin.

At the same time, Xiaoqing gave birth to a daughter for him, named Xu Fuler.

And Xia Bing is also pregnant...

After receiving this news, the emperor repeatedly confirmed that although Chen Zhao had been stabilizing and expanding his power, he had no thoughts of rebellion at all, so he felt relieved and once again summoned elite troops and generals to suppress the Jing and Xiang Ming armies with all his strength.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It finally took three years, and the emperor exhausted all his efforts and barely suppressed the Mingjiao rebels. He himself also ran out of energy and died.

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and chaos began again in Shanxi. The local absenteeism was unbearable to the mine supervisors, and the mine owners were oppressed by the multiple oppressions, so they rebelled in anger.

This rebel army was different from the past. They had strong organizational discipline, were not afraid of life and death, and cooperated very well with each other. They caused great losses to the officers and soldiers of Da Chu.

However, the newly-appointed emperor was ambitious and talented, but was deceived by the military officials. After inspecting the capital camp, he decided to lead the expedition himself.

Unexpectedly, Shanxi's Kuangong Rebel Army dug deep into the geography, dug into the Fen River, flooded the main force of officers and soldiers, captured and killed tens of thousands of imperial guards, and the emperor escaped with only his body.

For a time, the world was in chaos, and undercurrents surged again in the capital. Half a month later, the emperor "died of a sudden illness", and the officials appointed a seven-year-old prince as emperor again.

Support, the control and prestige of the Great Chu Dynasty have dropped to freezing point.

There was war everywhere in the world, and peasant uprisings continued one after another. The nobles in various places took the opportunity to support their own troops and establish a ceded land regime, forming a de facto vassal town.

Chen Zhao took the opportunity to raise troops. He conquered the south of the Yangtze River in one year, pacified the Central Plains in two years, and marched to the capital in the third year, eliminating vassal towns in various places and reunifying the world. It was called Daxia in history, and Chen Zhao was called Taizu of Xia.

After Chen Zhao ruled the world for twenty years, he passed the throne to Xia Bing's son Xu Chengyu, named Xu Shilin the King of Nanyang, and traveled around the world with his three wives.

What people don't know is that the four of them became saints in body and transformed into immortals.
