I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Although everyone in the capital of Nanhua knew that the Yuan army would arrive within three days, they still caused quite a commotion when they entered the city.

The street, which was wide enough for ten horses to run side by side, was deserted and the doors and windows of every household were closed.

The once bustling capital city is now dead silent, no longer as prosperous as it once was.

Although the emperor ran away, there were still some upright people who refused to leave. They were determined to die and lay in ambush in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

But their final fate was to spill blood on the streets and become souls killed by the sword.

When they arrived at the palace, the local noble families had already been waiting for a long time.

Unlike the scene of crying for parents imagined by the Yuan Dynasty soldiers, this group of people did not show even a trace of fear on their faces.

"The old emperor has already run away, why don't you old guys run away? Is it possible that you can't run anymore?"

A soldier made a sarcastic remark, which immediately attracted a lot of ridicule.

As for these vulgar words, the officials of Nanhua just looked at them and did not take them to heart.

As for why they did not escape, they were not worried about whether the Yuan soldiers would attack them.

Now that the old dynasty has changed and the country is still unstable, what the Yuan Dynasty needs most is to stabilize the situation.

The Nanhua Dynasty was different from those weak countries. Its territory was so vast that it ranked among the largest even among the surrounding dynasties.

As long as the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was not a fool, he would know that this group of people should not be killed.

After all, stabilizing the situation still depends mainly on the local aristocratic families who have been rooted in Nanhua for hundreds of years.

The end of the 21st year of Zhenghe.

When Emperor Nanhua learned that the Yuan cavalry was approaching the city, he fled in panic under the escort of the Imperial Guards, taking the empress, more than a dozen princes, concubines, and countless gold and silver jewelry, and his whereabouts are unknown.

At this point, the Nanhua Dynasty, which had existed for 632 years, disappeared in the wheel of history.

The following year.

The Yuan Dynasty gradually annexed the territory of the Nanhua Dynasty, expanding from the original seventy-nine states to one hundred and sixty states.

Although Nanhua was destroyed, there were still patriotic patriots who fought hard and tried to stop the Yuan Dynasty.

The pace of the Yuan Dynasty's territory expansion was slightly hindered, but it still could not change the outcome.

......

The twenty-second year of Zhenghe.

June, Grain in Ear.

In the imperial study in the capital.

Tang Zheng threw the memorial in his hand to the ground with a look of anger on his face.

"It's been so long, and you can't even take down Hengzhou. What use do I have for you?"

After saying this, his face turned pale in an instant and he started coughing violently.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is more important to take care of your health!"

The kneeling minister under the emperor trembled and spoke hurriedly.

Ultimately, this matter could not be blamed on him, because the soldiers guarding Hengzhou were the elite troops under Qin Mingrui.

When the two dynasties went to war, he did not bring it with him, but left it to guard the border.

Now that Qin Mingrui is dead and the emperor has fled, Nanhua has also been destroyed. The place where this army is located naturally became the final destination for those loyal to Nanhua.

Countless people joined in one after another, and the group gradually grew stronger, defending the last city against the Yuan Dynasty.

Although the Yuan Dynasty had an army of one million, its territory was now vast, and each state only had a limited number of troops.

If they are withdrawn, there is a fear that other people with bad intentions may secretly cause trouble.

"The general guarding Hengzhou is Qin Mingrui's adopted son. He has inherited all the military tactics from Qin Mingrui. All the generals in our army are no match for him."

Tang Zheng frowned when he heard this.

Do we have to ask the Taoist Master for help again?

As soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Tang Zheng.

If the Taoist priest had to take action for just Hengzhou, wouldn't it make him, the emperor, appear very incompetent?

Just as Tang Zheng was pacing back and forth in thought, Ding Xisheng walked in.

"Lord Ding is here, is there something important?"

Tang Zheng respected Ding Xisheng from the bottom of his heart for assisting him with all his strength, and even made him the prime minister.

In his heart, besides Dao Zun, Ding Xisheng is the second most important person in the entire Yuan Dynasty.

Ding Xisheng bowed and glanced at the minister kneeling on the ground.

Tang Zheng immediately understood and waved his hand to signal him to get out.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will take my leave."

The minister, who was already sweating profusely, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and carefully left the imperial study.

Tang Zheng returned to his desk and glanced anxiously at the memorials piled on it.

In his vision, it would take at most half a year to annex all of South China's territory and stabilize the situation, after which he would vigorously develop the country's strength.

After winning two wars that seemed doomed to fail, the Yuan Dynasty had already formed an absolute deterrent to the surrounding dynasties.

During this period of time, the Yuan Dynasty will naturally work hard to govern the country, and then digest the thousand-year heritage obtained from the Xianyue Holy Land.

However, the failure to capture Hengzhou made Tang Zheng's plan unable to proceed, which made him depressed.

"Your Majesty, the Hengzhou incident was not caused by the incompetence of the generals, but by someone supporting them from behind."

When Tang Zheng heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

There are still people who dare to support the remnants of Nanhua. If the Yuan Dynasty finds out, aren’t they afraid of being liquidated by millions of cavalry?

"who is it?"

Ding Xisheng whispered, "Dongyun Dynasty, Lingxu Palace."

After hearing these words, Tang Zheng's already frowned brows became even tighter.

The Dongyun Dynasty was already powerful. Now that it had seen the Yuan Dynasty win two incredible wars in a row, it must have realized the threat posed by the Yuan Dynasty.

The turmoil brought about by the war between the two dynasties has not yet subsided, and they want to take this opportunity to create some trouble for the Yuan Dynasty in order to slow down its pace.

"Besides that, I have also found out something even more important."

"The Dongyun Dynasty also had its fortune born, and it seemed to be much earlier than the Yuan Dynasty."

Ding Xisheng's words immediately made Tang Zheng feel a strong sense of crisis.

Not only did the Dongyun Dynasty's fortune precede that of the Yuan Dynasty, its overall strength was even greater than that of the Yuan Dynasty.

Since both dynasties possess good fortune, there will definitely be a decisive battle between the two sides in the future.

How can I allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

No one would allow a huge threat to lurk around them.

Time, he needs time.

"hateful!"

Tang Zheng slammed the desk so hard that the tea in the cup suddenly jumped out.

"Just after I passed two tests, I am faced with another big problem. It is really difficult to establish this dynasty of destiny!"

Tang Zheng sighed and sat down.

"Since Lord Ding already knows about this, do you have any good ideas?"

Ding Xisheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, feeling helpless.

Ever since the Yuan Dynasty came into being, it has been plagued by one problem after another without a break.

Not to mention Tang Zheng, even he himself felt that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to build this dynasty of destiny.

No wonder every dynasty of fortune can last for at least thousands of years. Just looking at this disaster, you can tell that it is no trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any good solution for now. I can only wait and see."
