Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Undoubtedly, if Jiang Hongfei died now, his achievements would be recorded in history, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, Tang Emperor and Song Emperor, and even eclipsing the name of Zhao Kuangyin.

He not only achieved the unification of the Chinese land, but also expanded the territory to Northeast China, Goryeo and even Japan, led the wave of the Age of Exploration, discovered the "Prince Continent", opened the precedent of the Industrial Revolution, and the light of science and technology illuminated the way forward for the world.

He promoted high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, gave birth to the miracle of hybrid rice, and made cotton planting and textile technology benefit the people, so that the people had no worries about food and clothing, and the society was prosperous.

The vigorous development of maritime trade he advocated made the economy of the Yuan Empire unprecedentedly strong, far surpassing previous dynasties, with clear politics and people's support, creating an empire that was unmatched in military terms, and a sense of national pride arose spontaneously.

However, in the long river of history, many emperors fell into stupidity due to longevity, and the loneliness and comfort at the top of power often wore away their ambitions.

Living a hundred years is a dream that everyone wants, but for emperors, it sometimes becomes a burden.

As they grow older, the trend of laziness and enjoyment gradually rises, loyal ministers become alienated, treacherous officials are in power, the court is full of smoke and miasma, and the country's fortune declines accordingly.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is a typical representative of this tragedy. He worked hard to create the Kaiyuan Prosperity and won praise from all over the world, but he eventually indulged in pleasure and favored treacherous officials, which led to the Anshi Rebellion and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, which was regretted by later generations.

The same is true for Xiao Yan of the Southern Liang Dynasty. When he first ascended the throne, he diligently governed the country, appointed virtuous people, and the country was completely renewed. However, in his later years, he became obsessed with Buddhism, gave up his life to become a monk many times, wasted national funds, and because of his stupidity and misleading the country, he took in the Jie people Hou Jing, which eventually led to the destruction of the country and the family, and he also suffered a tragic ending.

Emperor Qianlong, who also lived a long life, lost his moral integrity in his later years. The rise of Heshen caused the political ecology of the Qing Dynasty to deteriorate sharply, and the ministers formed cliques for personal gain, and the country's fortunes took a sharp turn for the worse.

On the other hand, Jiang Hongfei not only did not look old at all, but was physically strong, and he could not get tired of having sex with several women at night. His vitality was amazing.

However, it was this extraordinary physique and unfulfilled ambition that made it difficult for him to wait for death in peace.

He knew that although he had recovered a large area of ​​territory, the grasslands, Tubo, Dali, and the Western Regions had not yet been completely stabilized; he could not let go of his children and grandchildren who were crying for food, and their future was his eternal concern.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei seemed to be obsessed with the beauty of the harem, but in fact, one of his eyes was always on the current situation and the potential threats...

...

As the leader of the last Jin people, Jin Wushu, who was burdened with the destruction of the country, had never been depressed or abandoned.

In his heart, he was burning with an inextinguishable fighting spirit, dreaming of recasting the glory of the Jin people and realizing his ambition to make a comeback in the gap between the Yuan Empire, Xixia and the grassland tribes.

This dream was not only his personal pursuit, but also the last hope and sustenance of the Jin people. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, he would not look back and would not regret his choice.

Facing the olive branches thrown by Yue Fei, Zhu Wu and others, as well as the recruitment of other tribes on the grassland, Jin Wushu was unmoved. His heart was filled with the flames of revenge and revival.

In the spring of the 19th year of Hongwu, the Jiashan area suffered an unprecedented famine. Forced to survive, the Jin people embarked on the road of escape.

At this time, Jin Wushu was hiding deep in the mountains, training the army intensively, and making final preparations for the arrival of that day.

However, the severe situation of famine forced him to act in advance, leading his warriors to resolutely embark on a journey to the south of Yunnan and the north to find opportunities for life.

Jin Wushu knew that it was not wise to be an enemy of the powerful Yuan Empire, but the famine was caused by the Yuan Empire. They closed all the trading places and forced the grassland tribes to surrender, resulting in extreme food shortages.

In this despair, Jin Wushu could only turn his attention to the Yunbei region, which had just been recovered by the Yuan Empire, where they might have the food and supplies they urgently needed.

The flames of revenge and the desire to survive intertwined, driving him to make this bold decision - to attack Fengzhou, which was once the location of the Jin Kingdom's Southwest Recruiting Office and an important stronghold of the Yuan Empire on the Mongolian Plateau.

Fengzhou, under the leadership of Zhu Wu, has become an important garrison of the Yunzhong Military Region of the Yuan Empire, and was renamed "Fumin", implying that this place will become a symbol of the prosperity of the Yuan Empire.

However, Fengzhou's defense is not impeccable.

As the Yuan Empire's army marched westward to besiege Xixia, Fengzhou's garrison was greatly weakened, which gave Jin Wushu a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He took advantage of Wanyan Huonu's familiarity with Fengzhou and formulated a careful sneak attack plan, breaking through this seemingly indestructible city in one fell swoop.

Jin Wushu not only plundered a large amount of food and horses, but also captured more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians of the Yuan Empire. This victory shocked the court and the people.

When the news was passed back to the capital, Jiang Hongfei was furious. He knew that the existence of this remnant Jin force posed a huge threat to the Yuan Empire.

So he urgently summoned Zhu Wu back to the capital and ordered him to immediately organize troops to go to the Yunnan region to wipe out the remaining forces of Jin Wushu.

After receiving the order, Zhu Wu quickly mobilized the army, led Wang De as the vanguard, and led 20,000 troops to Fengzhou.

At the same time, he also sent an elite force to occupy all the main roads leading to Jiashan, especially the strategically important Yuyangling.

Zhu Wu's intention was very clear. He wanted to completely trap Jin Wushu's defeated army in Jiashan, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

In fact, Zhu Wu had long wanted to eliminate Jin Wushu's lingering troops.

However, Jin Wushu was extremely cunning, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, always lurking in Jiashan, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and full of dangers, leaving Zhu Wu helpless again and again.

Zhu Wu knew that to deal with an opponent like Jin Wushu, he had to outsmart him rather than fight him with force.

So he turned to Jinyiwei for help, hoping that they could find out the movements of the Jin army and make full preparations for the decisive battle.

The spies of Jinyiwei, like ghosts in the dark night, quietly shuttled between various forces.

After some twists and turns, they finally found a crucial clue-Wanyan Tata, who was under Jin Wushu's command, was as greedy and lustful as his father Wanyan Xiyin, and had no principles, which was a weakness that could be exploited.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Wu immediately agreed on a plan with the Jinyiwei. They sent a capable spy with a large sum of money to quietly approach Wanyan Tata, and successfully bribed this "worm" of the Jin Dynasty with the bait of high official positions, generous salaries, and a life of luxury.

Wanyan Tata, a young man who grew up in the New Jin Dynasty, was tired of the life of displacement and was full of infinite yearning for the prosperity of the Yuan Empire.

So, facing the olive branch thrown by the Jinyiwei, he chose to betray without hesitation.

Not long after, a secret letter was quietly delivered to Zhu Wu.

The letter was concise, but it revealed crucial information: Jiashan's food reserves were in urgent need, and Jin Wushu planned to go to Qingzhong to plunder soon.

Zhu Wu was overjoyed upon hearing the news, and immediately deployed troops to catch the Jin army off guard.

He personally led the main force, along the secret path, quietly detoured to the back of Qingzhong, and launched a thundering attack as soon as the Jin army fell into the trap.

At the same time, Zhu Wu also sent his capable general Wang De to set up an ambush at Yuyang Ridge, vowing to cut off the retreat of the Jin army.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the Jin army to fall into the trap.

Sure enough, Jin Wushu led the remnants to arrive as scheduled. They thought they could easily seize the food of Qingzhong, but they did not expect that a disaster was quietly approaching.

When the Jin army was about to launch an attack, Zhu Wu's army had already rushed out from behind, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

The Jin army suddenly fell into chaos. They had never expected that behind this seemingly peaceful Qingzhong, there was such a terrible murderous intention.

After a fierce battle, the Jin army was defeated and countless casualties were killed and wounded.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Wushu hurriedly led the remnants to retreat to Yuyang Ridge.

However, what was waiting for them was another more tragic ambush.

Wang De had been waiting here for a long time. The ambush troops led by him were like heavenly soldiers and generals, descending from the sky, killing the Jin army and making them lose their armor and defeat.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jin Wushu could only lead the remaining troops to flee north in a panic.

Zhu Wu decisively ordered the entire army to pursue, vowing to completely destroy the Jin army.

The morale of the Yuan army was high, and they pursued all the way to the north of Wuchuan.

Jin Wushu knew that escaping would be a dead end, so he decided to fight with his back to the river.

On the day of the decisive battle, Zhu Wu and Wang De divided their troops into two groups, forming a pincer attack on the Jin army.

In the face of an absolute advantage in military strength, the Jin army was simply unable to resist.

Jin Wushu's trusted generals died on the battlefield one after another, and their family members and supplies were seized by the Yuan army.

In the end, the Jin army was defeated, and Jin Wushu could only lead a few trusted people to escape into the mountains.

In this battle, the Yuan army won a great victory and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

However, Zhu Wu still had a trace of regret in his heart - Jin Wushu escaped after all.

But on second thought, he felt a little lucky - because Wanyan Tata was also missing.

Jinyiwei speculated that Wanyan Tata was likely to be taken away by Jin Wushu, and believed that as long as Wanyan Tata was with Jin Wushu, there would always be a way to find his whereabouts.

As expected, Wanyan Tata did not escape to the Yuan Empire to enjoy the glory and wealth as he wished. He lost his way in the melee and could only continue to flee with Jin Wushu.

Although Jin Wushu escaped death by chance, his heart was full of despair and unwillingness. He knew that he had no way to retreat, and the only way to seek a glimmer of hope was to surrender to the Khan of the Mongol Kingdom, Hebula.

Hebula Khan was committed to integrating the grassland tribes to fight against the threat of the Yuan Empire. He had extended an olive branch to Jin Wushu, but Jin Wushu still had a considerable army at that time, so he ignored it.

Now that the situation has reversed, Jin Wushu can only put down his posture and seek Hebula's help. He plans to follow the example of Goujian, the King of Yue, who slept on straw and tasted gall, and kept a low profile to wait for a comeback.

However, Jin Wushu did not realize that the danger was approaching step by step.

The next day, Jin Wushu summoned his generals to discuss the strategy of surrendering to the Menggu Kingdom.

However, before Jin Wushu opened his mouth, a carefully planned betrayal had been quietly brewing.

Jin Wushu's generals had already colluded secretly and took advantage of his unpreparedness to suddenly attack.

Jin Wushu, the famous brave general of the Jin Kingdom, still showed amazing fighting power in the face of the betrayal of his confidants.

His figure was as fast as lightning, and his sword was as bright as a dragon. He killed dozens of rebel generals in an instant, and even the cunning Wanyan Tata was not spared and was cut in half by his sword.

However, heroes eventually have their end. Although Jin Wushu was brave, he could not resist the enemies on all sides.

Under the repeated siege of his confidants, he gradually exhausted his strength and finally fell in a pool of blood. The life of a generation of heroes came to an abrupt end.

His death was a betrayal by his cronies and a trick of fate. People can't help but sigh: the top of power is often an abyss of loneliness and danger.

Jin Wushu's head, as a symbol of this rebellion, was presented to Zhu Wu by his cronies as a certificate of surrender.

Zhu Wu did not dare to neglect, and immediately arranged for the head to be sent to the capital to be dedicated to Jiang Hongfei.

At the same time, the royal family and nobles of the Jin Kingdom also surrendered to Jiang Hongfei.

Their surrender also marked the end of the Jin Kingdom.

Jiang Hongfei sent his confidants to identify it and confirmed that the head was indeed a metal sculpture.

The Kingdom of Jin was destroyed.

Jiang Hongfei issued an edict, declaring: "The enemy country is tyrannical, and the sky is angry and people are resentful. I obey the destiny, put an end to the troubled times, restore our mountains and rivers, and spread benevolent policies throughout the world. The people return to their hearts, just like the rivers flowing eastward, it is unstoppable..."

Although this edict was rhetorically gorgeous, in fact it only reiterated the evil of the Jin people, flaunted their own justice, and was intended to appease the people.

In fact, Jiang Hongfei knows very well that historical merits and demerits will be commented by future generations, and there is no need to make any unnecessary remarks.

However, this edict also served as a symbol of the fall of the Jin Kingdom and was of great significance. Therefore, at the request of all ministers, it was issued throughout the world to illustrate the tyranny of the Jin Kingdom and demonstrate its righteousness in defeating the unjust with justice.

In the summer of the nineteenth year of Hongwu, the last flame of resistance in Xixia was extinguished.

With the complete pacification of the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, Jiang Hongfei turned his attention to the Mongolian Plateau.

He knew very well that only by completely conquering this vast land could the long-term peace and stability of the Yuan Empire be ensured.

Therefore, he carefully deployed and used the tactics of the Northeast Army advancing west, the Northwest Army advancing east, and the Yanyun defenders breaking through in the middle. The three armies advanced together and launched the final attack on the Mongolian Plateau.

Before leaving, Jiang Hongfei, the supreme commander of the war, Yue Fei, particularly emphasized the need to capture the Hebule clan's Bo'er Jijin·Yesugei alive.

At the same time, Jiang Hongfei also secretly sent an envoy to the eastern part of the Mongolian Plateau to look for a little girl named "Olhuna Hoelun".

That's right.

Jiang Hongfei wanted to capture both Temujin's parents and suffocate him without giving Temujin a chance to be born.

Well, Jiang Hongfei also had another idea, that is, to take Temujin's mother as his concubine, so that she could only give birth to a son for himself.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Hongfei's goal is to strangle the future Genghis Khan Temujin in his cradle and completely eliminate the potential threat to the Yuan Empire from the Mongolian Plateau...
