The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

With the destruction of the Demon King of Huangshan and the defeat of the final counterattack of the rest of his demon soldiers, the entire four states in the east of Dongjiang Province became completely blank.

The land of these four states seems to have opened its arms, allowing other strong men to come up and plunder.

Zhong Yu's purpose is naturally not to come here to drive away the monster race with good intentions, and then hand over these territories to others.

He has already made it very clear in the proclamation that has been circulated all around before, to expel the monster race, restore the orthodoxy of humanity, and then crusade against the Ming court that is in the same rank as the monster race.

Now that the Yaozu have been expelled, the next step is to restore the humane rule of the four states and bring them under the command of the Zhongyu Empire.

After that, troops were sent to crusade against the Ming court, which is now weak and has no spare power to suppress the domestic rebellion.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he ruthlessly tore off a piece of fat from his torso as food for his own growth.

After regaining the Shangqiu City of Guide Mansion, Zhong Yu's army was stationed here, and then sent 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops were divided into three groups to recover the remaining three counties of Guide Mansion. recover.

Everything went extremely smoothly. After all the monster soldiers in Dongjiang Province were defeated and wiped out, there was no sign of any monster clan in the remaining counties.

There are only some residents in the city who are frightened by the demon clan and shivering. Other than that, they have no power.

When the residents saw the army of the empire entering, even if they didn't know where the army came from, they seemed very excited and greeted the army into the city amidst cheers.

The days that these people lived before can be said to be worse than death, like cattle, sheep and livestock, in constant fear.

They were slaughtered and eaten wantonly by those monster races as cattle and sheep. They were even more pathetic than those cattle and sheep, because cattle and sheep had no wisdom and did not know the fate they would face.

But they are human beings. When they know that they may be eaten as food at any time, the suffering in their hearts is really indescribable.

So now that the troops of the human race are coming back again, even if these troops can basically be determined to be rebels who rebelled against the imperial court, these people are very welcome.

The imperial court has long since lost any place in their hearts, and all they have is hatred.

What they need most now is a strong enough army that can guarantee their safety and allow them to live in peace.

As long as someone can provide them with such a basic need, they will support this power.

The remaining three counties of Guide Mansion were soon recovered, and Zhong Yu ordered each of the three counties to garrison 10,000 troops to take a break, first adjust the affairs in Guide Mansion, and then gather forces to unify the remaining three prefectures in one fell swoop. .

However, when Zhong Yu was slowly looking for and recalling the refugees, and constantly arranging excellent officials he had drawn from other worlds, he would let them comfort the people of the counties and resume production.

A message reached his ears that aroused his anger.

It turns out that the remaining three state capitals in Dongjiang Province have been defeated after receiving the demon clan, and the head of the demon king of Huangshan Mountain has also been conferred. In the entire Dongjiang Province, except Guide Mansion, the original state capitals of the remaining three demon clans have been blank. Any news of force defense.

The guards of the three state capitals made a decisive decision, and each led thousands of troops to station them. Relying on the prestige of the court in the past, they successfully took back the land of the three state capitals.

Just like that, these guards recovered most of the territory of Dongjiang Province without any effort.

And these new governors and governors of Dongjiang Province issued strict orders to let the soldiers led by Zhong Yu completely surrender to the court, and they can be exonerated from the previous rebellion in the central region.

Such an ignorant and daring person not only dared to take the food from Zhong Yu's mouth, but also dared to make him surrender, which can be described as extremely insulting.

How could Zhong Yu, who had regarded the Sanzhou capital as something in his pocket for a long time, and looked at Dongjiang province defenders like chickens and dogs, how could he bear this tone of disdain.

Therefore, after half a month of rest, the officials at the upper and lower levels of the counties in Guide Mansion have made arrangements, and the entire Guide Mansion has resumed basic administration, and the long post-war recovery of the economy has begun, with a certain degree of order.

At this time, in addition to leaving 1,000 guards in the counties and 5,000 guards in Guide City, Zhong Yu led the remaining 87,000 troops to march towards the entire Dongjiang Province.

This time, he wanted to teach those clowns who dared to provoke him a lesson, and took the entire Dongjiang Province into his pocket at one time, declaring his majesty.

The army marched very quickly, but within 3 days, it had completely left the entire Guide Mansion, and was heading towards Kaifeng Mansion to the west of Guide Mansion.

There are not many defenders in Kaifeng Mansion. Except for the rear of Kaifeng Mansion, the 5,000 troops brought by Henan Mansion, one of the only three remaining mansions in the imperial court, are the 3,000 recruits just drawn from Kaifeng Mansion.

How can such a small army stop Zhong Yu's 80,000-odd army.

In just one day, Zhong Yu defeated those defenders who dared to come out to block him, and took advantage of the situation to surround Kaifeng City, surrounding the remaining 3,000 remnants in the city.

It took another day for the army to break through the city of Kaifeng and wipe out all the remnants of the imperial court from the entire Kaifeng mansion.

Then the army went out everywhere, wantonly attacking the remaining county towns that had no defense force, and took the entire Kaifeng mansion into their pockets within five days.

Then the army divided into three groups, all the way to the north to attack Weihui Mansion and Zhangde Mansion in the northern part of Dongjiang Province. All the way to the south to attack Xuzhou and Chenzhou.

Then some forces were left to guard the entire Kaifeng Mansion, and the remaining Zhong Yu led the 30,000 main force to attack the entire capital of Dongjiang Province, Henan Mansion.

The army came out together, and the total number of troops in the entire Dongjiang Province did not exceed 20,000. The quality of the 20,000 troops was also uneven.

Where the two roads from the north and the south pass along the way, it can be said that the momentum is so strong that basically no county can block it. Even if it is a slightly stronger Fucheng, it will only take a day or two more hands and feet, and it will be breached soon afterward.

Half a month later, the two armies basically completed their respective tasks, bringing the four state capitals of Eastern Xinjiang Province under the control of the empire, and firmly stationed at the border, repelling the counterattacks of other provinces.

As for the capital of Dongjiang Province, although the defense of Henan Province is stronger, there are 10,000 troops stationed there.

And there is a sixth rank behind him, leading an army of 30,000 troops stationed on the border of Henan Province, ready to support at any time.

However, after Zhong Yu showed his aura and wounded him a few times, the sixth-rank governor did not dare to stand up, and withdrew with his 30,000 troops in desperation, and returned to his province.

The rest of Dongjiang Province, without any assistance, could not resist Zhong Yi's attack with only 10,000 remnants. Moreover, the new governor did not have the strength of the sixth rank, but was just a strong man at the peak of the fifth rank, and was directly killed by Zhong Yu's palm.

When the city was broken, the governor of Dongjiang Province committed suicide, and the defenders in the city had no leader, and they all chose to surrender.

So far, since Zhong Yu's second expedition took only one month, the entire Dongjiang Province has completely changed its surname, from Daming to Dayu, and a complete change of master.

When the whole Ming Dynasty heard the news, the whole country was shaken and the world was terrified.
