Chapter 491 Succession
Maybe, Ye Qiong would not have thought of his death that his will avoided a bloody war. Anyway, the new emperor of the Yongye Empire walked to his throne in the bleak internal and external troubles.
No one would have thought that the royal family of the Yongye Empire would easily compromise. In the Yongye Empire, which had already sharpened his knife, would have completed the handover of power calmly.
Everyone knows that Ye Shengwen is not in good health and may follow in Yeqiong's footsteps in a few days, but even so, the Yongye royal family still stands behind him.
It was His Majesty the Emperor of the Sofia Empire who contributed to all this! This bureau was laid by the Sofia Empire for the Holy Sword Empire, using the literary strategy of Night Shengwen to fight against the aggressive Holy Sword Empire and win more time for the Sofia Empire.
Because the Sofia Empire is fighting with the Fortress Empire, the elite troops are all in the west, and the Eternal Night Empire in the east really has no power to take care of it. If there is eternal night civil strife at this moment, then the sword empire's attack on the Sofia Empire can only be watched.
On the contrary, if the Sword Empire and the Eternal Night Empire go to war a year later, then the Sofia Empire can take advantage of the chaos and share the eternal night with the Sword Empire.
So the Sofia Empire, which has been secretly supporting the three princes to make trouble, remained neutral this time, and Ye Sheng, who lost foreign aid, withdrew from the battle for the eternal night imperial power early.
And Ye Shengwu suffered an unprecedented blow because of a series of defeats such as Yueguixing Province, so he was also defeated by Ye Shengwen.
The competition for the imperial power of the Eternal Night Empire, which should have been wonderful, quietly came to an end. Ye Shengwen ascended the throne in a voice and became the new emperor of the Eternal Night Empire.
The Sword Empire was originally going to send a big gift to the turbulent Yongye Empire, which included more than 1.5 million troops of five army groups. However, the Eternal Night Empire was impeccable, and this gift turned into a congratulatory letter and a congratulatory letter.
The first letter of conces was jointly issued by the Emperor of the Sword Empire and the Imperial Concubine of Ye Ning, which praised His Majesty Ye Qiong. The second congratulatory letter was made by the emperor of the Sword Empire to congratulate Ye Shengwen on his accession to the throne. The content was no different from provocation. The strong tone demanded that the Yongye Empire reflect on the relationship between the two countries.
However, the wise night saint did not lose his mind. He enthusiastically replied a letter to Arcado, praising Arcado's kindness and humility. It satirized the coveting Emperor of the Sword Empire.
Immediately after the night Shengwen began the revitalization plan of the Yongye Empire, rectifying the governance of officials, strengthening the army, and revitalizing the dilapidated Yongye Empire.
He ordered his eldest brother Ye Shengwu to sit in the fortress of Kowloon City and comprehensively strengthen the defense line of Kowloon City. Against the Sofia Empire in the north, the Eternal Night Empire was also abnormal and began to build fortifications and strengthen its vigilance.
Internally, he built water conservancy, built roads, and improved people's living standards, which eased the domestic pressure of the hungry Yongye Empire and greatly blunted internal contradictions.
The construction of water conservancy and the opening of factories have increased the steel output of the Eternal Night Empire by 30% in just ten days. The advanced magic cannon production line started day and night, enriching the army of the Yongye Empire. Because of the increase in steel production, the Eternal Night Empire finally had its own ironclad ship.
A large number of highways were built, which eased the domestic transportation pressure of the Eternal Night Empire. Military supplies and commerce improved because of good traffic. For a while, the Eternal Night Empire had a great momentum to catch up with the Holy Sword Empire.
The whole Yongye Empire, under the governance of Ye Shengwen, showed a momentum of rejuvenation, and the tired Yongye Empire gradually recovered.
In terms of military strength, the Yongye Empire army with more than 8,000 magic cannons has almost recovered the total strength before the war, and its combat effectiveness has been slightly improved. The total strength of the four major legions is close to 2.5 million, and the royal troops and the troops stationed in various places have also exceeded 2 million, basically the same as three years ago, or even slightly increased.
However, although the long-war Yongye has maintained the title of the world's second largest empire, its national strength is no longer as good as that of the newly noble Sofia Empire in the north, and even can't even catch up with the Holy Empire that has always kept a time.
The Holy Empire has not launched any large-scale offensive for more than a year. Several small-scale wars have also ended in victory, and the domestic economy has recovered very quickly. Although Arnold and Sloc can only be regarded as middlemen in terms of economy, the good peace situation still gave the Holy Empire a better night emperor. Better development of the country.
Compared with the Eternal Night Empire, which has been defeated for many years, the Holy Empire is richer in taxation, so the infrastructure construction is faster. Although it is not as good as the Holy Empire and the Sofia Empire, which have made a fortune in war, it can definitely be described as a leap.
Compared with the Eternal Night Empire, the Holy Empire also has about 4 million troops, but has deployed at least 20,000 magic cannons, and the combat effectiveness of the army is slightly higher. Moreover, the military boss Leon Barton is in his prime and can fight for the Holy Empire for at least ten years.
However, the Holy Empire also has a disadvantage. Keeping its light and keeping a low profile has deprived the Holy Empire of the opportunity to expand in the north. Both the north and south are in a state of defense, and the Holy Empire is under enemy on three sides, and its geographical location is not as superior as Ever Night.
The situation of the fortress empire is relatively depressing. First, it was pitted with a large amount of money with magic cannons by the Sword Empire. Finally, it recovered and was invaded by the Sophia Empire. Luolai's front line was extremely fierce, and the whole country was also poor and weak.
Paulson is from a military background and is not good at running the empire. He does not have advanced theories and methods to improve productivity like Arcado. He can only improve the situation step by step, but it is compounded by the unfavorable situation.
The Sophia Empire rose strongly in the territory of the Northern Holy Empire. 8 million puppet troops swept across the north of Yavia, destroyed the Adams Empire, and conquered the fortress empire. For a while, it seemed to surpass the Holy Sword Empire to become the world's first power.
However, civilians in the Sofia Empire complained that people's living standards were low, the economy had already collapsed, and people were bullied by puppet soldiers and lived a difficult life.
The domestic construction of the Sofia Empire is dominated by military industry, and almost all the national strength is used to support the war, because most areas of the economic collapse have degenerated to barter.
Although there were riots against the puppet regime from time to time, they were suppressed by a large number of puppet soldiers, and a large number of people fled to remote provinces with insufficient puppet forces.
In comparison, the Holy Sword Empire is simply a paradise. Except for the Arante region and Fengshen Island, the land of the Holy Sword Empire is full of prosperity, as if the light of God only shines here.
