Valley Emperor

On December 2 of the fourth year of Chengping, the Son of Heaven was buried in Zhongshan, Jinling. Hundreds of thousands of subjects saw him off!

This declares that the Xuanping era has come to an end, and the Chengping era has begun!

However, when the day when the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan died, the Chengping years were not peaceful!

As soon as the funeral was over, the kings couldn't wait to leave, and many of them even hurried away by plane that day.

Airplanes are not safe these days. Traveling by plane requires courage and the price of risk!

In fact, the emperor Li Hongyi did not mean to embarrass them. The funeral of the late emperor is a major event in the world, and nearly one billion people around the world are paying attention. If something goes wrong with the twenty-five vassal kings on this occasion, it will be more than a direct rebellion by the vassal kings. serious.

Besides, these feudal lords came alone, and none of them brought their heirs over. These feudal lords probably died in Jinling at the front, and their supporters in their fiefs would support the heir to succeed the king. Sir, this does nothing to improve the fierce conflict between the homeland and overseas territories, and even exacerbates the conflict.

The vassal kings have returned safely, which also reassured many people, especially the generals in the military. In fact, many generals in the military are very worried that the emperor will violently kill people, and put twenty-five generals at ease. The feudal lords were killed collectively, and no matter how bad it was, they would come under house arrest or something.

In this way, the overseas territories are afraid that there will be a collective rebellion!

And more importantly, many soldiers in the military are generals, and they are also from overseas territories, but it does not mean that all of them are of local origin.

There is a conflict between the interests of the hometown and the overall interests of the empire, and many generals in the military are actually very contradictory.

And everything is safe, it is naturally the best!

Everyone continues to stay and play happily in the big family of the Empire, isn't it good!

But this kind of thing can be suppressed for a while, but not forever!

In the process of governance, Li Hongyi has compromised, eased conflicts, and forcibly suppressed, maintaining this huge global empire in an uneasy manner.

But even he himself knew that it was getting more and more difficult to maintain.

Not because of foreign enemies, but because of internal conflicts!

In the 24th year of Chengping, 20 years after the death of the Son of Heaven, the empire once again experienced large-scale economic turmoil and a crisis of overcapacity.

Once the economic development slows down or even a crisis occurs, many contradictions that are usually hidden under the water will come to the surface.

In June of the 24th year of Chengping, in order to protest the continuous decline of crude oil prices and the continuous decline of oil workers' income, a general strike of oil workers broke out in the Americas.

This time, the strike was soon spread. At first, people only protested against the drop in oil prices and the unemployment of oil workers, but the problem quickly expanded: local ordinary people also entered the protest, and they demanded the localization of the oil industry!

In the oil development that lasted for many years, so much oil was transported here, but the local area did not get much benefit. It was the eight major oil companies that exploited the oil, and they even paid the tax directly to Jinling.

Except for some jobs in the oil industry, locals don't actually get a dime in oil-related taxes.

There is no tax, so there is no capital to develop local infrastructure and improve the local environment, so that the local area is sitting on a big treasure such as oil, but the local economy is still very backward.

Several major oil industries in the Americas supply about 20% of the total oil production of the empire, but the average income of the people in the local capitals of the major oil industries is only a quarter of that of the people in the local Jiangnan area. One less.

This is not only a problem of these few oil-producing areas, but also widely appears in other non-local areas. In the global economic integration policy of the empire, these areas are positioned as agricultural and livestock production bases, and at most one is added later. supply of energy and mineral products.

The economic model is single, the income has not risen for a long time, but the inflation is getting more and more serious.

When the mainland area of ​​the empire has entered the so-called oval social structure, most families are in the middle income and live a happy life, many areas represented by the Americas are still in the pyramid structure, and ordinary people are still in the pyramid structure. low income.

After the accumulation of dissatisfaction, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, because the indigenous people in Africa are farming and mining honestly, and the aliens have been slow to come to the earth, the Datang Empire looked around, but could not find any external enemies to divert domestic conflicts... …

When this internal conflict of interests breaks out, its energy is amazing, not to mention that there are many people behind it!

As a result, the scale of the strikes in the Americas became larger and larger, quickly spreading from the oil industry to the mining industry, and finally even the local small and medium farmers began to swear: They would rather pour milk into the Pacific Ocean than sell it cheaply to the mainland !

They really fell, but not because they didn't want to sell to the local country, but because of the economic crisis, consumer deflation and excess milk production capacity could not be sold. This thing has a short shelf life and long-term storage costs are high, so they directly dumped the milk. save money……

The reason that prompted them to target the local area is that with the further increase in farming costs, and the continuous impact of large-scale mechanized farms, the prices of agricultural and livestock products have been kept low for a long time, and the pressure on small and medium-sized farmers is increasing. If it is not good, there is a possibility of losing money, which is unbearable for a wide range of small farmers represented by the Americas.

When a strike and parade with a scale of more than 200,000 people broke out in Xinjiangnan City, and the parade quickly got out of control and turned into beating, smashing, looting, and even armed confrontation, everyone knew that something big had happened!

Although the upper echelons of the empire responded immediately, on the one hand, they adjusted economic policies to ease conflicts, and on the other hand, they maintained high military pressure.

But the efforts of the upper echelons of the empire came to nothing with the sound of gunshots at Xinjiangnan Port!

At that time, the parade crowd attacked the army station in Xinjiangnan Prefecture, and gunshots were heard in the middle. Armed personnel in the crowd opened fire on the guarding guards, and also used machine guns to fire, and then the guards returned with fierce fire!

On November 16, the 24th year of Chengping, a large-scale armed conflict broke out in Xinjiangnan Prefecture, and then the local armed patrol police announced their intervention in an attempt to prevent conflicts between illegally armed civilians and the army.

But only on the second day, a large-scale melee broke out between the militants, the patrol forces and the army, resulting in a large number of military and civilian casualties.

After the incident broke out, the media in the provinces of the Americas and most of the other regions reported widely, demanding severe punishment of the relevant generals who commanded the army's armed suppression. Naturally, the army ignored them.

The empire implements the separation of military and government, and the army/navy is a self-contained system, which has nothing to do with the locality, so the military basically does not listen to anyone except the emperor!

However, things did not subside, but became more and more serious. Armed conflicts occurred frequently. In many regions of the Americas, the garrison troops and militia troops, which were mainly local people, defected, and began to call for independence on a large scale.

And the independent statement has been recognized by more and more people,

Although at this time, the imperial army and navy still firmly secured the transportation hubs and major cities, it has to be said that the imperial Jinling has lost its control over North America!

In the 25th year of Chengping, with the further intensification of the conflict, the fighting between the local armed forces and the Imperial Army has become more and more frequent. Although they are all seemingly petty battles, there has not even been any number of hundreds of people. However, this small-scale attack made the Imperial Army very uncomfortable.

The railway was blown up twice in three days, the bridges of the highway were also blown up, and the patrol troops were frequently attacked by cold guns!

Just one year after the turmoil in North America, the Imperial Army has killed more than 2,000 people and injured 7,000 or 8,000 people in the operations to suppress the illegal armed rebels in the Americas. The total number of casualties exceeds 10,000.

The loss of personnel is nothing, and the real headache for the upper management of the empire is the huge military expenditure!

In order to quell the unrest in North America, the empire has spent a total of more than one billion Tang Yuan, and the huge military expenditure has no end in sight.

Because this is only one year, and the local rebels have not formed a large-scale organized resistance, but have spent such a huge amount of military expenditure and personnel losses when they just frequently attacked with cold guns.

This will continue to be suppressed in the follow-up. I am afraid that billions or even tens of billions will not be able to be beaten, and there will be many casualties.

After all, although the resistance on the American side is sporadic and unorganized, everyone knows that they are not idle. Many places are secretly recruiting personnel and setting up factories to produce weapons.

This has to be examined by the top of the empire. Is it worth it to continue to maintain direct rule in the Americas at such a high price?

Can't we change the way, for example, don't they want to be independent, let them be independent, and then we can carry out a comprehensive technical blockade on them in an open and honest way. After the technology is blocked, if you want to develop industry, let's dream.

It's really not possible, and we can still take military strikes.

When they became independent, they were completely torn apart. At that time, the huge military force of the empire did not have to tie their hands and feet to suppress the rebellion. Seeing that he was unhappy, he bombarded their cities and blew up their factories directly and it was over. Such purely military operations save more money than security warfare.

Under this circumstance, if the overseas territories can still develop their industries, the top officials of the empire will have to write a big letter to them.

When the industry fails to develop, they still have to continue to be the land for the supply of agricultural and livestock products in the empire and the dumping ground for civilian industry.

At the same time, the mainland of the empire can not only drop the huge burden of military expenditure, but also bring more economic benefits to the empire.

It has to be said that this idea also has a certain appeal.

The turmoil in the Americas is too serious. It will cost a lot of money to forcibly suppress it. The most important thing is this kind of spontaneous and sporadic resistance of the people. There is no way to completely suppress it. You can't kill everyone...

After all, although those are overseas territories, the people there are also from the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone is from the Tang Dynasty, why can't you live a peaceful life if you have to beat me to the death?

This is also the view of many people in the local area of ​​Datang, even the mainstream class, who have no interest in war or anything.

Even many people don't really pay much attention to whether the Americas are independent. Many people even think that they are independent every day anyway, so let them be independent, and then block them completely and let them return to the ancient times overnight. As for their life and death in the future, not our business...

There are even some radical young people clamoring to expel the American traitors from the empire and let them eat shit!

When there are many people who think this way, and there is a lot of pressure, the local side of the empire gradually begins to shake its policy of firmly maintaining the global empire.

Twenty-eight years after Chengping, more than four years after the continuous turmoil in North America, there have also been turmoil in South America and Europe, with frequent strikes and conflicts.

The Imperial Army had to expand once again, increasing the local garrison in order to maintain the situation.

However, at this time, the interior of the empire was quite dissatisfied with the continued expansion of the military to maintain the global situation, even the military was very dissatisfied with the current situation.

After all, the troublemakers are also from the Tang Dynasty, and they are not serious rebels. Many of them are locals. They work normally on a daily basis. , after the gun was hidden, you went home and became a good citizen. Could it be that you really dare to kill all the locals!

Let's not fight, those militants will carry out various attacks, which has made the military extremely passive in the past four years.

The military has an incomparably powerful armed force, but it can't find a place to work hard, and it also bears various casualties every year...

The military itself is unhappy, and the civilian system is even more unhappy.

In the past four years, in order to deal with the turmoil in North and South America, supplemented by Europe, the empire has spent a total of 8.6 billion Tang Yuan in military expenditure!

And the military continues to apply for 3 billion military spending to maintain a huge garrison of more than 5 million overseas and continue to carry out various battles.

But this huge military expenditure is useless...

It's been four years, and I've been bombing every day, but I haven't said that the serious rebels have fought with that rebel army, because there has never been a large-scale organization of serious rebels.

They are not stupid. They know that they can't fight head on, so they don't have the idea of ​​organizing a large-scale war at all. The independents all over the world are playing cold shots every three days.

Not to mention the huge military expenditure, and the economy of the empire has been declining in the past four years!

Because of the continuous turmoil in many overseas territories, although the economy has been severely hit overseas, and life has been a mess, but whether it is in Europe or the Americas, they really have no shortage of food, and no matter how bad the economy is, they will never starve to death...

However, it is very difficult for the local area, which is highly dependent on imported agricultural and livestock products. In the past four years, the price of agricultural and livestock products in the local area has risen in an all-round way. At the same time as inflation, the industrial products cannot be sold because of the loss of the market, resulting in the unemployment rate rising year after year.

The global economic integration is a big killer for overseas countries, but it is also a big killer for the local itself!

It is said that the Americas and other overseas regions are inseparable from the large local market, but the large local market is also inseparable from the resource supply and industrial product market of overseas territories such as the Americas.

Huge military expenditures, coupled with the overall economic downturn, completely suppressed the claims of the global faction in the Jinling area of ​​the Tang Empire, and public opinion began to turn towards the imperial faction.

What is Globalism? It is to firmly safeguard the globalization of the Tang Empire and maintain the glory of the Millennium Empire. These people used to be the mainstream, but now, they are accused of being stubborn and stubborn, and they want to save face and suffer!

And the imperial faction, that is, Datang people are Datang people, Datang Empire is Datang Empire, although the whole world is Datang people, but the global Datang people are not one family!

That is, since the Datang people in the overseas territories do not want to live with the local Datang people, let them get out of their own way.

In the future, the empire will be an empire, and the vassal state will be a vassal state. Don’t expect the empire to treat the vassal state as a family. In the future, if it should be a comprehensive technical blockade, it will be a comprehensive technical blockade, and if it should be exploited and squeezed, it will be exploited and squeezed.

If you don't accept it, you will beat it. If you are beaten, you will not occupy it. If you destroy it, you will pat your **** and leave, and go back and continue to exploit and oppress!

For the changes in the mainstream public opinion in the empire, even the emperor of the empire, Li Hongyi, is deeply helpless!

The current situation is completely out of the control of his emperor, or even the high level of the entire empire!

Even if he is determined to kill the twenty-five kings now, nothing can be changed.

As long as he gave an order, the Han Tong, which he laid out more than ten years in advance, would be able to kill all the twenty-five vassal kings at once, and not one would be left.

However, the vassal kings of various places are only a spokesperson for the interests of various places. Without the vassal kings, other people will emerge. This is the fundamental conflict of interests between the people of the overseas territories and the local people, and it is not a matter of one person and two people.

In this incident, the vassal kings from all over the world could only push the boat along the way, or even were forced to promote independence, otherwise the local people would have to kill their vassal kings first.

Considering the change in the situation, finally the emperor Li Hongyi chose to compromise!

After a series of secret negotiations, Li Hongyu and the vassals reached an agreement:

The empire will set up the fiefs of the twenty-five vassal kings as kingdoms, and officially ennoble the twenty-five hereditary vassal kings as the kings of the newly established kingdoms. The vassal state system.

Nominally, the kingdoms were still directly part of the Tang Empire, but they were actually independent.

Because the kings in their respective kingdoms will have the power to freely formulate domestic laws, administrative systems, develop national defense, and formulate foreign affairs.

At this point, the actual split of the Tang Empire was officially announced, leaving only the false name of a great unification.

And such a split has also successfully avoided years of unrest and a global civil war that is very likely to come, and all parts of the country have slowly returned to normal.

However, this seems to have avoided war, but it has planted the seeds for even greater conflicts!

After the establishment of the vassal kingdom, it has full power. Except for the fact that there is an emperor Laozi in the name, the rest is not much different from a normal country.

Now that they have become countries, new conflicts and contradictions will naturally arise.

Several feudal kingdoms in the previous independence period were still brothers, but after the establishment of the feudal kingdoms, they became dead enemies, which was very serious in the Americas and Europe.

Contradictions between the local feudal kingdoms broke out rapidly and even caused wars.

In just one year, the kings of the Americas have already had many large-scale wars, and the kings of Europe are similar. The army troops that have been formed hastily in many kingdoms have not had time to train for a few months before heading to the battlefield.

Local wars break out in places almost every day!

And all of this has nothing to do with the native people. Now the native people of the empire have found that life is better now than before...

It seems that there is no global empire, but the empire still retains many military bases all over the world, and at the same time, the empire itself also has the only industrial system in the world.

Although those vassal kingdoms were independent, they didn't even have the ability to produce bullets. If they wanted to fight other vassal kingdoms, they had to find their own country to sell weapons and ammunition.

This allows the empire to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in dealing with the relationship between the various vassal kingdoms, and use its industrial technical capabilities to continuously exploit the various vassal kingdoms, even without any scruples, and do not want to eat at all.

Will this continue forever?

Naturally impossible!

When the situation changes again, perhaps it's time for the Li family's global chaos!
