Sweep the World

Nowadays, there are not only the small Eastern Jin imperial courts in all countries. Shihu regained his emperorship in the third year of Yuanshuo. However, in contrast to the small Eastern Jin imperial court, he became the emperor after usurping Cao Wei. As a Hu people, Shihu occupy the Central Plains. It is reasonable to claim the emperor in most areas, but Shihu is currently crowned by the incomparable monkey monkey occupying Bingzhou and Shuozhou to claim the emperor.

Since Chu Suanzi brought the little emperor, clan relatives, civil and military officials, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been destroyed from the legal point of view, so only Shihu remains the emperor in the Eastern Continent, and the rest of the countries are called The king's kingdom is not an empire that is proclaimed emperor.

In fact, even if it is called an emperor, it is not necessarily an empire. An empire is a strong and invincible country. It can easily destroy a country with a single blow. For example, the Western Han Dynasty can easily destroy Nanyue, Minyue, Ailao, and Ye. Countries like Lang are like Rome, which regards the Mediterranean as an inland sea, and the rest (Parthia) that occupies half of South Asia in Central Asia is also an empire. On the surface, Guishuang is an empire and can only be regarded as a powerful dynasty.

The king of heaven is a noble position established by the Hu people above the king. After Shi Le occupied most of the Central Plains, some great scholars persuaded him to become emperor, but although he was illiterate, he was a very understanding person and felt that he was better than ordinary kings. Strong, but still afraid of the small Eastern Jin court, after thinking about it, he claimed to be the king of heaven.

In addition to Shi Le's self-proclaimed King of Heaven, Shi Hu is the second Huren who is also called the King of Heaven. If history has not changed, the son of Murong Jai, Murong Jun, who proclaimed himself the King of Heaven after Shi Hu. Murong Jun succeeded to the throne after Murong Jai died. He first took over as King Yan and later named himself the King of Heaven. However, he became emperor in 352 AD. The other heavenly king was Ran Min, but Ran Min was chased by Murong Yanguo after his death. The reason was that after Ran Min's death, a drought broke out in the Central Plains and locusts were ravaged. He was chased as a martial artist after some great scholars and monks suggested. Fallen King.

It's impossible for Ran Min to be a martial king in this life. The road to gaining the king is tortuous and he firmly believes that it is not how repulsive Liu Yan is, but that Ran Min will make an unimaginable great contribution.

"The Puppet Dynasty was destroyed, and Shi Jie withdrew from the east." Ran Min came to Xiang Country again, unable to conceal a disappointment and frustration: "The ministers chased after the army. "

The news of the demise of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty spread very quickly, and it was known to all countries. The counterattack of Shijie Zhao and Murong Yanguo was based on the premise that the Han army was involved in the small Eastern Jin court. As long as the small Eastern Jin court could persist, the two countries really had the basis for counterattacking.

"No one expected that the little court would perish so quickly." Liu Yan didn't even expect it. He thought it would last for a few years. After all, the south was mountainous and crisscrossed by waterways, so it was really not easy to fight. He said: "The little court, please come down. The news spread to Bingzhou and Youzhou. Shijie and Murong Xianbei only knew that the big man easily destroyed the little court. They were shocked by the mighty spirit of our army. He should have hesitated."

Murong Yanguo has not resolved the war in Liaodong. The Yan army preparing to pounce from Youzhou to Jizhou is composed of Murong Jun as the main general and Murong Ke as the lieutenant general, including Murong Xianbei's family and the rest of the servant army and the slave army. . Nearly 70,000 of them were fighting on the Goguryeo front with the Goguryeo army, the Baekje army, the Silla army, the army of the islands, and the Buyeo tribes headed by the Han army. In addition, the Xianbei grassland and mountains also involve three to four thousand Murong Yan troops.

Counting the fact that Murong Yanguo is fighting on the battlefield is no less than that of Han, and Murong Yanguo is only the land of two states, which shows that Murong Xianbei is still very strong.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished too quickly, whether it was a strong Han army or a weak imperial court, it was great bad news for Shijie Zhao and Murong Yan. The direct result was that the counterattack became anticlimactic.

"Shijie will recover if he can fight and fight, and if he can't fight, he will disperse and avoid." Ran Min said with a sullen expression: "This way, the war will last forever."

It is quite reasonable to say that the war with Shijie and Zhao will last forever. Even if Han is attacking at all costs, Bingzhou will have an unusually vast and grassland Shuozhou, and more importantly, the possibility of Han attacking at any cost. Is decreasing.

"The minister heard that the princesses of the court, Zhang, stopped the large-scale war?" It was because of this news that Ran Min hurried to Xiangguo: "Shijie is as weak as this, and Murong Xianbei has enemies everywhere. It is the time for the big man to kill him in one fell swoop, why? Can the war cease?!"

From the second year of Yuanshuo, the Han nation began to expand its territories. By the fourth year of Yuanshuo, most of the old land of the Han family was restored. However, Qingzhou is the only prefecture and county that can be regarded as rejuvenating.

The Han country under Liu Yan's rule is actually very deformed. Qingzhou is the one that can produce benefits. Other prefectures and counties have almost no tax contribution. The output of the country is worrying. It is supported by an army of more than one million. If Liu Yan had the golden fingers, it would not be able to sustain it.

To be clear, even if Liu Yan has gold fingers, most of the previous accumulation is basically consumed. Then again, the country can't do this. The restoration of people's livelihood and production in various places is really urgent.

"Yongzeng, the small imperial court surrendered, but it does not mean that all areas south of the Yangtze River are Han soil." Liu Yan explained patiently: "Our army seized Jiankang. All armies continued to advance to the south. The families from all over the world were still resisting. The war did not end with the surrender of the little court."

In fact, it is really like that. Although the Sima family is a royal family, it is only a signboard. The south of the Yangtze River has long been the status quo of family power and family autonomy. The Han state forced the ransom of the noble families, the powerful, and the big clans, and the families had to register them in full. If this policy is not changed, there will be local forces desperately resisting, so of course the Han army will kill one place after another.

"Fortunately for the big man, the small imperial court surrendered to make him lose his righteousness. The people yearn for it because of the national policy of the big Han, and the families and tycoons in various places failed to get more support." Liu Yan pondered for a moment and continued: "This is true. It will take some time for the big man to completely extinguish those disobedient forces."

Xu Zheng is still acting as his general to conquer the South, and is responsible for leading the army to eliminate any dissatisfaction. The Han power is deeply rooted only in the need to target dissatisfied families and tycoons. The more you go south, the more complicated it becomes. The reason is that they are entrenched everywhere. Zhu Yue and Zhu Man.

As a firm believer in Han nationalism, Liu Yan wanted to solve Zhuyue and Zhuman who had troubled the Han nation for thousands of years at one time. All were killed, merged, and expelled, but this would definitely take longer. How long it would take depends purely on the resilience of Zhu Yue and Zhu Barbarian.

Ran Min is totally unwilling! First, Huan Wen destroyed the Li family and became Han, and then Xu Zheng destroyed the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He did not think that Huan Wen and Xu Zheng were more brave or more powerful than his own, but the most powerful one has not been able to complete the destruction of Shi Jie Zhao Guo. Great work, and it seems that because the center wants to cultivate health and restore national strength, it seems that Zhao Guo will be delayed for a long time to destroy the stone jade?

"The widow has already ordered, and those who take the first rank of the foreign race will still remember the merits and rewards." Liu Yan said that the continuation of the killing of Hu, the north can kill the Hulu, and the south can also kill Zhuyue and Zhuman, comforting Ran Min: " This measure will speed up the war process."

The hunting order against the South was regarded as Liu Yan giving the ordinary people who had lived under the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty a way out for a long time. It was to see if the people in the south had the guts to go headhunting.

Seriously, the hunting order in the north has tended to be difficult to gain. After all, Shihu has retreated with a large number of Huhu, and the Humen in Murong Yan's kingdom are not easy to kill at all. The number of Zhuyue and Zhubaran in the south should be in the millions. Zhuyue and Zhubaran have no country and are scattered in the form of tribes. If they have the courage to hunt and kill, there will be a number and an environment, and the harvest will definitely be plentiful.

"I'm afraid there will be more Zhongyuan Xiaoguo rushing to the south..." Ran Min curled his mouth and said, "Prime Minister You wants to equalize the land, and the southerners have the courage."

Liu Yan heard the strong regional discrimination in Ran Min's words.

It’s not wrong that there are many brave people in the north, but the south is not all the weak. The Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties spent thousands of years fighting in the south, but it is not that they have not been able to defeat them all the time. When the south returned to China, many places in the south were also equipped with elite soldiers. For example, the vine armor soldiers of the Chu Kingdom, the Jiangdong soldiers under the rule of the Western Chu Overlord, the Southern Army of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Danyang soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty were all capable of drafting good warfare. .

"Of course, the minister does not oppose the presence of warriors in the south, but that is probably already a thing of the past." Ran Min said without changing discrimination: "The small court ruled the south for too long, and it has not been able to bring its troops back to the Central Plains. And a big defeat. The army that can fight the Hulu will not fail to flee from the south to the north."

Liu Yan does not understand contemporary history and cannot refute Ran Min. Furthermore, it seems that the same thing happened in his memory. In history, among the various armies of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the troops formed by the young and strong fleeing from the north were not at all ashamed of the Hu prisoners, and the Beifu army was the most aggressive.

Of course, a raging nest, a raging soldier, what kind of army can be brought out by any kind of person, whether it can be seen whether the generals train and control the army, the southern army after the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not always there. So the dishes.

Ran Min actually wanted to persuade Liu Yan to continue to attack Shijie and Zhao Guo. Halfway through the conversation, he turned the subject off. He set a banquet and was still begging the people in the south to find courage to hunt and kill in exchange for merit. He waited for a drink. Ning Tin was drunk and didn't bring the topic back.

To deal with Ran Min, who is ambitious and brave but doesn't know how to go around, Liu Yan deliberately pulls off the topic and procrastinates. You must first let Ran Min calm and calm, but you can't let this hero with a negative political IQ go to offend even more. Many people.

Sure enough, Ran Min, who was so drunk and unconscious, was taken away, and it didn't take long for Ji Chang and Sang Yu to come together.

"General Zhengbei left the army without any enquiries, and the king should be punished!" Ji Chang and Ran Min didn't seem to hate Ran Min either. Where are the laws and regulations?"

Liu Yan didn't pay attention to Ji Chang, but ordered someone to tidy up and bring the new case table to put on the tea-making utensils.

"Of course the punishment should be punished." Sang Yu grinned and added: "General Zhengbei came with only ten horses. He didn't bring weapons to meet the king when he was disarmed, so he just fined some salary."

Liu Yan cast a glance at the two of them. Ji Chang's request for punishment may not necessarily be malicious, and Sang Yu's intercession may not necessarily be good.

The three of them made tea and drank. During the process, Ji Chang and Sang Yu were talking. Liu Yan didn't say a word with a chuckle. A few more people came over and turned into a night conversation between monarchs and ministers.

"My lord, conquer a land and land, collect people and register them. In the next three years, the land in the south can be measured, and people in the south can be used for taxation." Lu Yi smiled and stroked his beard, said: "The big man adds more How to use the land of the state still needs to care about it."

"Since the beginning of the emperor, the south has returned to China, but for hundreds of years there has been no development. This status quo should stop at the present time." Cai Youcai is a person in charge of national construction. He knows why Lu Yi said those things: "Zhang Tu, Shuzhou County, Central Plains Counting people has never stopped, and the southern land lands and people...there is a shortage of manpower."

Land measurement and population registration may seem simple, but it is not difficult to do, but the manpower required is a huge number. The Han state recovered several Central Plains states, and after Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou took two years to complete, but Jizhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou and other places actually started to work.

There have been a lot of vacancies in the central position of the Han country throughout the year. Many local officials in some counties have driven ducks to the shelves, and none of the people who have been driven off the shelves are flat-headed people, at least from local clans. The reason for this is extremely simple. To be an official, you need to review official documents. It is difficult to be an official if you are illiterate, and it is extremely difficult for the people to be literate.

Veterans in the army can take up posts in the township, li, and pavilions, and it is not difficult for the officials at the grassroots level. Most of the land surveying and registration of the population are handled by retired soldiers from the army, coordinated by at least one county-level official.

"Ahem~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Sang Yu attracted everyone’s attention and cautiously said to Liu Yan: "The king, the country should have a system of selecting talents, for the king and the big man. Choose more outstanding talents as officials. "

In the past, officials in the Han country were basically selected through self-recommendation and rumor. It was similar to the filial piety system of the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, but this was not the only measure. There were many talented and promoted officials.

Liu Yan was very interested and asked: "How to choose talents?"

Everyone looked at Sang Yu, some were looking forward to it, and they were also frowning and displeased.

The way a country chooses officials is related to the future political trend of a country. A bit of change is whether the official class will be fixed, just like the son of Lao Tzu in the pre-Qin period, the later Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties ruled the world. In the Cao Wei period, it moved towards the monopoly of officials, and it was in the Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties that the pattern of "born with seeds" was restored again.

"The King." Ji Chang said without giving Sang Yu a chance to elaborate, "I will only talk about Fengyue tonight, regardless of national affairs."

Liu Yan immediately smiled meaningfully.
