"It's time. After being silent for so long, I finally show my fangs to the world again!"
Standing on the throne, Zhong Yu drew out his long sword and pointed to the south towards the entrance of the palace, with a distant look in his eyes.
After staring for a while, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and looked at the two rows of civil and military ministers below. There were hundreds of people gathered in the thick hall.
"I ordered you to gather the army and march south to the Central Plains after three months. This time I will conquer all the countries and unify the world!" Zhong Yu shouted loudly, his tone full of doubt.
"I obey!" Hundreds of people cheered and bowed down to salute.
Later, when these ministers left, all departments of the entire royal kingdom began to operate rapidly. Under their leadership, Yuguo turned into a war machine, with countless resources tilted toward war, and countless armies quickly assembled and gathered in Liaodong County.
Now eight years have passed since Zhong Yu provoked the second United Alliance to attack Qi. It has been 14 years since Yuguo came to this world and formulated the strategy of disrupting the Central Plains, accumulating strength in the rear, and then conquering the Central Plains with absolute strength.
It's been so long, almost a generation. After such a long period of reproduction, Yuguo has completely digested the territory and population it captured before, and has grown the country's population to about 7 million.
Correspondingly, Yuguo also has an army of 800,000, including 400,000 elites.
In addition, the Jade Kingdom also has a Imperial Guard with about 200,000 people, all of whom have internal strength. They are usually stationed in the imperial capital of Liaoning City to protect the safety of the imperial capital.
In this way, a million-strong army has been formed. The Jade Kingdom also possesses sufficient military and food supplies, and has the foundation and strength to launch a million-scale war.
On the contrary, all over the Central Plains. With successive years of war, the population has been greatly reduced, especially the young and strong, and there are very few.
Originally, before the war, the combined population of all countries was still 30 million. But now, after these successive wars, the number has dropped sharply to only about 8 million. It is only equivalent to the population of Yuguo, and the elite among them is even worse.
Moreover, the combined troops of all countries are less than one million, with only about 600,000 left. It is even more difficult to resist the invasion of China.
Under such a situation, with such a good strength advantage, how long will it take if the Yu Kingdom does not annex the Central Plains
After March, Yuguo assembled an army of 600,000, leaving only a few troops in the mainland to maintain law and order.
March, the 15th year of the Emperor Yuan Dynasty.
Just after the spring plowing was completed, the imperial army came out in full force to attack the eight southern countries, beginning his great cause of unifying the world.
Soon, with the internal support from the upper and lower courts of Yan State, the defenders of Yan State's cities opened their cities and surrendered one after another. Within ten days, the Yan Kingdom was destroyed. The reason why it took so long was because the army was on the road.
Afterwards, the 600,000-strong army was divided into two groups: 300,000 to attack Zhao and 300,000 to attack Qi.
The entire territory of Zhao State was unable to resist, and many important towns were captured. Although King Zhao organized a lot of resistance, it was ultimately difficult to resist the powerful strength of the national army. After March, it was also destroyed.
The State of Qi was weaker than the State of Zhao, and it only lasted for two months before being destroyed.
The other five countries were frightened when they heard that the Yu Kingdom was moving south and that the Three Kingdoms would be destroyed in a short period of time, and they decided to unite to resist.
However, there is a huge gap between the countries. Both sides have deep-seated hatred and it is difficult to believe that the other side intends to form an alliance.
The alliance had just been proposed, and the countries had been wrangling for a while. Due to the distribution of interests, it was difficult to reach an agreement, and it was abandoned.
Subsequently, South Korea and Wei, which were located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and blocked the imperial army from moving south, bore the brunt and were attacked by the 500,000-strong army of the imperial army as expected.
During this period, the imperial concubine of Yuguo, Princess Honglian of South Korea, once asked the emperor of Yuguo to let South Korea go, but was ruthlessly rejected. As a result, the couple, who had a harmonious relationship with each other, gradually developed a rift, which was not as good as before.
South Korea and Wei resisted for a month and were later destroyed by the army, following the fate of Yan and Zhao and other countries.
Subsequently, in addition to the 100,000 that was lost in the 600,000-strong army, another 200,000 were left to guard the homelands of the Five Kingdoms to prevent changes.
The remaining 300,000 troops all attacked Chu. As for Qin and Yue, they temporarily put them aside and did not attack them.
Chu State has a vast territory, with inconvenient roads and many water systems. It is an unrealistic idea to destroy Chu State quickly.
Therefore, the 300,000-strong Southern Expeditionary Army fought steadily, attacking one county after another, and slowly encroached on Chu's territory.
The Chu State organized several resistances during the period, and once the number of troops even reached 200,000, but in the end they were defeated by the elite of the imperial army and were quickly defeated.
After that, the Chu State fell into a complete decline, and could only sit back and watch its territory be slowly occupied, relying on its vast territory to delay its own demise.
Within 3 months of attacking Chu State, Chu State's Nanyang County, Jiujiang County, and Hengshan County were defeated.
In the fourth month, Lujiang County was defeated.
In May, Nanjun was defeated and Changsha County fell into war.
In June, Changsha County fell completely, and the King of Chu moved his capital to Qianzhong County to continue the resistance.
In August, Qianzhong County was lost, and the King of Chu retreated to Yelang County.
In September, the local chief of Yelang County killed the King of Chu, and the Chu Kingdom was destroyed.
During this long war, the 300,000-strong army that destroyed Chu lost more than 100,000. The remaining troops could only barely garrison the homeland of Chu and were unable to attack the other two countries.
At the same time, the 15th year of Emperor Yuan is slowly coming to an end, ushering in the 16th year of Emperor Yuan.
As soon as the new year arrived, Yuguo once again mobilized an army of 300,000 troops and went south to attack the Yue Kingdom in the south.
The Yue Kingdom had only 60,000 soldiers, so how could they withstand it? However, within three months, even if they relied on the vast territory and complex terrain to delay their defeat, it was difficult to stop the fate of destruction, and they were completely crushed by the imperial cavalry.
At this point, all the countries east of Hangu Pass were wiped out by the Yu Kingdom, leaving only the Qin Kingdom in the west, which still occupied Guanzhong and Bashu.
However, although Qin is not weak, it has 200,000 soldiers. But these soldiers have to stay in various places, and only 100,000 people can be mobilized. Facing the hundreds of thousands of troops coming from Yuguo, it will be difficult to resist.
July.
The imperial army sent out 600,000 troops and divided them into five groups to attack Qin. Qin also raised 100,000 troops to resist.
In January of the Mi War, Qin was unable to resist, and the northern and eastern barriers, Shangjun and Hedongjun, were lost. Neishi County, where the capital is located, was attacked by hundreds of thousands of troops, and Xianyang was not protected.
In September, after losing all barriers, Xianyang City resisted for some time and then fell. The King of Qin moved the capital to Chengdu, the land of Bashu in the south, and all parts of Guanzhong fell into war.
In October, all the counties in Guanzhong were defeated, and the power of the Qin State completely shrunk to the three counties of Bashu.
March, the 17th year of the Emperor Yuan Dynasty.
Under the attack of the Yuguo army, Hanzhong County persisted for three months due to the dangerous mountains. Finally, it could not resist and fell into the hands of the Yuguo.
In May, 300,000 imperial troops invaded Bashu.
In June, Berkshire fell.
In July, Shu County fell, King Qin Yingzheng committed suicide after breaking the city, and the Qin Kingdom was destroyed.
With the fall of Qin, the world was finally unified. The land that had been in chaos for thousands of years finally ushered in its only owner and true peace.
It's time for Zhong Yu to leave this place where he's tired of staying and find a powerful world that can solve the curse on him.
After writing for so long and with more than two hundred pieces of content, the Qin Shi Mingyue chapter is finally over. Over such a long period of time, the author gradually discovered many shortcomings. Especially in the later stages, the 20 or so chapters were a bit boring, and there was a suspicion that the word count was too streamlined. So now we can only speed up the progress and end this world. I believe everyone is a little tired of watching it.
The next world is Japan's Warring States Period. It is a world where gods and demons are dancing, and ghosts are rampant. It is also in a chaotic era of war. I’ve wanted to write about this world for a long time. The worlds I wrote about before were all set in China, so I couldn’t let go. Now switching to a Japanese setting, I want to write about the evil in my heart and fully embody the protagonist's tyranny there.
