Chapter 203: Later Jin: Where is my country? Why has it shrunk?

“What? Dongcheng voted?”

“Damn it, this bastard voted without even notifying me.”

“We are neighbors. I was the one who lent him his food and wages last month. Damn bastard, why didn’t you take me with you? How despicable.”

In the Later Jin city dozens of miles away from Dongcheng, the local general guarding the city was furious when he learned that Dongcheng had surrendered to the Great Zhao Kingdom.

In front of his subordinates, he pointed at the information on the table and shouted and cursed, not giving any face to the general of Dongcheng and his former colleague.

In fact, his situation was better than that of the general defending Dongcheng. Behind him was the eighth prince of the Later Jin Dynasty, who had once staged a battle for the throne with the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty.

After the collective ascension of the Later Jin imperial palace, the prince reappeared in the light of day and quickly summoned his old subordinates, intending to seize the throne again.

His father was once a subordinate of the Eighth Prince.

He naturally became the Eighth Prince.

It’s just that he has no say in the Eighth Prince’s camp, and he himself is not very loyal to the Eighth Prince. After all, it is his father who is loyal to the Eighth Prince, not him.

Because he was on the border, he had a natural fear of the Great Zhao State.

He is also a fence-sitter.

He is more inclined to the side of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

As for whether there would be liquidation after the city was captured, he was not worried at all.

Because he never did anything harmful.

Because his father’s generation took the wrong side, they were purged by the emperor and beheaded. He was exiled to the frontier and his title was completely stripped away.

Being driven to such a remote place.

And also be monitored by the city lord.

If you have the slightest idea, you will be reported to the emperor and your entire family will be executed.

Over the past decade or so, he has lived a very cautious life.

Harmful to others?

Come on, if he had done anything a bit out of line, he wouldn’t be alive today.

As for who was more panicked after joining Da Zhao.

He thought the city lord was more panicked.

Because no one knows the city lord’s little troubles better than him.

Forcing women of good character into prostitution, abducting women, burning, killing and looting, there was no crime that the city lord had not committed that he could list in detail.

If the Great Zhao State enters the city, the city lord will definitely be the one to die.

……

“General, there is a letter.”

Suddenly, a young general’s voice was heard outside the door. After entering the camp, the young general handed a letter to the general guarding the city.

The writer of the letter was none other than the East City defender who had been criticized so harshly by him.

After tearing open the envelope and reading the contents of the letter.

He was overjoyed.

Good job, old man, you still have some conscience.

I haven’t forgotten my brothers.

The general defending the city was relieved of his unhappiness.

My mood improved instantly.

Then he turned his gaze to his men in the camp.

His expression turned serious.

“Do you dare to do a big business with me, the general?”

“What deal?”

“It’s a beheading deal.”

“Is that what the General is talking about?”

“Yes.”

“General, I am willing to do so. I am very willing to do so.”

“Me too.”

“Before we do big business, we need something as a token of our loyalty.”

“what?”

“The heads of the city lord’s entire family.”

There was a hint of viciousness in the eyes of the general defending the city.

He was finally able to avenge himself for more than ten years.

Isn’t that dog official very good at barking?

Relying on the support of the dog emperor, he gave him the cold shoulder and found all kinds of reasons to humiliate him.

More than ten years.

He has endured it for more than ten years.

Now, he finally doesn’t have to tolerate it anymore.

You dog officer, this general wants you dead.

“General, are you going to take action now? I am very familiar with the steward of the dog official’s family. The dog official once raped the steward’s wife and daughter. His steward hates him to death.”

“I can have him work from both inside and outside.”

“Hahaha, let’s do it.”

That night, the city’s defending general secretly led an army, and with the help of the city lord’s mansion steward, they broke into the city lord’s mansion and killed the city lord’s entire family.

Their heads were rushed to East City by Bailiji.

Less than three days.

A secret convoy entered the city. Within less than half a day, the city residents who had received the news went to the local county government in an orderly manner to accept the incorporation of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

The city has changed its appearance in a silent way. And it’s not just this city.

More than a dozen cities near the border of the Great Zhao Kingdom of the Later Jin Dynasty changed their owners in this way.

Even the Later Jin Dynasty has not discovered anything wrong.

Instead, it was the Mongolian royal court next door that first discovered something was wrong.

There was no news from several cities on the border one after another, which made the newly appointed Mongol Khan very confused.

Where is my city?
Where are my several cities?
Why did it disappear?
The Mongol Khan sent cavalry to investigate and found that the city that should have belonged to them was now flagged by the Great Zhao Kingdom. Even the fields and pastures of their nobles were cultivated and owned by the lowly lower-class civilians.

This made the Mongolian royal court furious.

But, he was only angry for a moment.

There wasn’t much response.

The new Khan was once the Prime Minister of the Mongol royal court.

He is not a reckless man, on the contrary he is very smart.

He knew well how the Mongol royal court had disappeared and even how the previous Khan had been wiped out.

He knew all this.

Especially the emperor of the Great Zhao Kingdom, who was recognized by the Eternal Heaven as the Sovereign of Heaven. Whether in terms of legality or strength, his Mongolian royal court was no match for the Great Zhao Kingdom.

He couldn’t argue, nor did he dare to argue.

He could only cower and lick his wounds.

Because even more cruel things are yet to come.

Their Mobei was lost.

The entire Mobei was lost.

The former Tianwaitian was annexed by the Great Zhao Kingdom.

The vast territory that originally belonged to their royal court changed hands overnight.

Compared with the loss of territory in Mobei, those cities on the border are nothing.

“Ugh.”

“Since you gave birth to me, why did you give birth to Zhao?”

“Eternal Heaven, we are also your people. Please leave us a way to survive.”

……

The Imperial City of Later Jin.

Ever since the imperial palace was destroyed by thunder.

The Later Jin Dynasty fell into chaos and fighting among all parties.

Various struggles for power.

Among the many forces, the most advantageous one was the Eighth Prince, who was once the most powerful person in the competition for the throne with the Later Jin Emperor.

After he came out of the prison.

He summoned his old subordinates and took back the rights that originally belonged to him as quickly as possible.

In the name of his ancestors, he slaughtered his former political enemies and expanded his own power.

Gradually, his power grew.

He is the most powerful among all the kings of the Later Jin Dynasty and has the possibility of becoming emperor.

He has an army of 300,000 under his command.

Occupied half of the Later Jin army.

He is already qualified to be emperor.

The new ancestral temple of the Later Jin Dynasty.

The eighth prince gathered a group of clan elders and planned to persuade them to nominate him as the new emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty.

After some persuasion, various benefits were promised.

Soon, the Eighth Prince got what he wanted.

half a month later.

The eighth prince ascended the throne in the new palace.

They also launched a massive attack to recover the territory belonging to the Later Jin.

Soon, the Later Jin discovered something.

Own territory.

Has it shrunk?

It has shrunk by half.

My goodness, where are the dozens of cities of my Later Jin?
When did the city of the Great Zhao Kingdom arrive in our Outer Northeast?
It also occupies more than half of Outer Northeast China.

Originally, Jin and Mongolia had territorial borders.

Nowadays, no more.

nothing left.

Between them and Mongolia was the Great Zhao State.

What the hell?

The new border between Later Jin and Great Zhao.

A group of cavalry arrived at the new city of the Great Zhao State.

“Gua’erduo, what’s wrong with you?”

“Are you wearing this outfit wrong?”

“Where are your braids?”

“Why are you wearing Shenzhou people’s clothes?”
