Chapter 54: Advent 5

It's just that here, of course, Wang Cheng will not enter the city, but will wait for his army to completely control the city and clear the possible dangers, and finally enter the city.

It can also be seen that after the past two years of war, this Yellow Turban Army is already a very mature army!

......

In the middle of the night, I have entered the city.

The royal city had already moved into the governor's palace, and was standing under the dripping eaves, but it was already raining at dusk.

At this time, several lines of guards wore hats or stood under the eaves, guarding here motionlessly.

Wang Cheng looked at the strange flowers and plants in this patio, and the carved beams and paintings around him, and almost couldn't believe it.

When I woke up just now, I almost thought that everything in front of me was a dream of Lan Ke.

Knowing this time, seeing those loyal guards outside, everything became steady, and knew that all this was true.

The victory came so easily, in a year and a half, almost half of the world had been swept away, and the richest places had already fallen into his hands.

And the Jingren Imperial Court is about to decline!

The victory came so easily that Wang Cheng himself felt inexplicable.

All generations have fought a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and experienced countless hardships and hardships before they achieved great things.

However, Wang Cheng asked himself, this journey was too easy, and he had almost never encountered a truly dangerous situation.

Therefore, at this time, although sitting in the governor's palace in Zhanghui City, there is still a feeling of unsteadyness.

However, Wang Zhenling felt that this was normal.

At the end of the dynasty, this is a normal operation.

After a feudal dynasty reached the middle and late stages, the army was far more corrupt than imagined.

There are countless examples of this in every world.

But in the matter of rebellion, we must not be able to fight a protracted war with the imperial court!

The behemoth of the imperial court, although the reaction is extremely slow.

But once it reacts, the power it uses is far beyond imagination.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to play fast and not give it time to react.

Why was the rebellion of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di in the previous life successful?

Attack Nanjing directly!

This world has been invaded by foreign people several times, why did the Jingren court lose so ugly?

Many people shouted that they had tens of thousands of people, millions of troops, and several invasions by foreign people, but only thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Even if it is a mouthful of foam, these foreign people should be drowned.

Just as it happened in another world.

However, this is not the case.

In another world, there are only 4,000 British troops in one crow, and no more than 20,000 enemies in two crows.

Even after the so-called Tongzhi Zhongxing, a modern army was established, and the equipment was even more first-class.

However, in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing army was more than 600,000, and the Japanese army was only more than 200,000, but it was defeated and lost, and almost even the capital was lost......

It can be seen that the most important of these is by no means a question of civilization and the generation of weapons.

It's the mobilization and response ability of the agrarian empire, which is terrifyingly slow.

If you are dealing with traditional enemies, or rebels, there is still time to react slowly.

However, when you really encounter an enemy with strong mobilization and attack ability, there is no way to do it.

This kind of classical empire, to be fully mobilized, will take at least half a year and a year, or even longer.

However, those foreigners invaded, and the battle was fought within a few months, forcing you to cede your land and pay reparations.

Your troops, resources, manpower, and material resources distributed throughout the country have not yet begun to mobilize, and they have not yet reached the battlefield, and this battle is about to be over.

It's almost like a battle between a half-paralyzed big fat man and a nimble strong man!

Even if Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was able to succeed, he did not fight a protracted war with the imperial court at all, and slowly delayed, but smashed the Yellow Dragon, and the army directly entered Nanjing and changed the dynasty.

For another example, in that world, the army just mentioned earlier, started from the southwest, but it only took two years to take Jinling and sweep the south.

At that time, it almost swept the world, and the Qing court was shaken.

However, they could not insist on the Northern Expedition, so that the Qing court had a chance to breathe and counterattack, and began to gather forces, and after repeated battles, the strength of this army was finally exhausted.

Of course, there are other things involved.

The inability to persist in the Northern Expedition also has practical considerations.

But those aside, that's one of the biggest reasons to lose.

And what kind of character is Wang Zhenling, and how many wars has he experienced?

For these things, the mind is clear.

It is very clear that three or five years is the window period.

During this window period, it is the weakest time for the imperial court, and it is also the time when it can't react the most!

Therefore, we must take advantage of this window period to either go all out to develop and win the hearts and minds of the people, and then wait until we gather enough strength to overthrow Jingren in one fell swoop.

This is the strategy of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to accumulate strength in the south, build high walls, accumulate grain, and have enough strength to go on a northern expedition in one fell swoop and pacify the world.

Or, take advantage of this window period, like Chengzu Zhu Di, to directly take the capital.

Just learning Zhu Di has a disadvantage, Zhu Di is a clan, the son of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and naturally has legitimacy.

At most, it can be regarded as a civil war of the Zhu family, once the Beijing division is taken, it is easy for the whole world to surrender and become vassals.

And Wang Cheng definitely does not have this advantage, if the strength is not enough, he will go to the Northern Expedition Jingren Imperial Court, and if he is not careful, he will learn from King Li Chuang.

Even if there is no Qing army entering the customs, the powerful factions in the world will all stand on their own and rise together, but it is not so easy to surrender to the royal city!

Therefore, in fact, Wang Zhenling leans towards the first path.

However, whether it is the first way or the second, the most important thing is to take advantage of the window period, while the boss and the corrupt empire can't react, strengthen their own strength, and at least take the south!

Don't give such a big empire mobilization and slowly consume the preparations.

This is also the reason why Wang Zhenling persuaded Wang Cheng to take the south first, and then the northern expedition.

However, the Northern Expedition could not be delayed for too long, and it could not give the imperial court too much time.

Although now the Yellow Turban Army occupies the land of taxation in the south and breaks the neck of the Jingren court.

It is said that it is better to drag it out, and the more it drags on, the stronger it will be in the south, and the weaker it will be in the north.

However, who has made the situation in this world different for a long time, and has to prevent those foreign people from stirring up the situation?

"General, you should also be the king now!" Wang Zhenling said suddenly.

"Claim the king?" Wang Cheng looked dazed, and he really didn't think about it.

"Of course, if you don't claim to be king, the people below have no hope, who will follow you? Otherwise, soon people's hearts will be scattered!"

Wang Zhenling said.

So many people follow you to rebel desperately, although some people really believe in your slogan.

But more people are actually for investment, for fighting, and what they want is to be promoted and make a fortune.
