Han Shizu

Chapter 24 Tianfu 12 years

The new dynasty was established and the new emperor ascended the throne. Everything should have been changed, but the people in Jinyang City soon discovered that nothing seemed to have changed much except that Liu Zhiyuan had changed from the king of Peiping to the emperor.

The officials are still those officials, the army is still the same army, the new flag erected high at the top of Jinyang City is still the name of "Jin".

Liu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to change the country name. In order to express the orthodoxy of inheriting the later Jin Dynasty, he only abandoned the year name "Kaiyun" and instead used the year name "Tianfu" of Jin Gaozu Shi Jingtang, calling it Tianfu 12 years, and in front of the crowd. In the face of the minister, he said in a sad tone: I can't bear to forget Jin.

Of course, there are still three fires for the new official to take office. How could Liu Zhiyuan do nothing when he first ascended the throne.First of all, an edict was issued to exempt the people of Jinyang from all miscellaneous taxes except the two taxes this year, in order to raise support.

Originally, Liu Zhiyuan's brain was hot, and he wanted to be exempted from all taxes, but Wang Zhang tried his best to persuade him to stop it.When the country is in crisis, it is time to spend money and food. Most of Hedong's wealth comes from Taiyuan Prefecture. If Jinyang's taxation is exempted, the loss will be too great.

At the same time, Liu Zhiyuan sent dozens of messengers to various prefectures to announce to the world that he had ascended the throne and became emperor.For the prefectures and counties near Hedong, such as Jinzhou and Luzhou, several commissioners were dispatched, and they were ordered to be attached.Jinlu and Luzhou, when the main road going southeast of the river, have one thing in common, that is, their Jiedu envoys all went to Bianliang to see Yelu Deguang.

Afterwards, Liu Zhiyuan issued two decrees in a row, ordering the whole world, one of which said: All the Taoists who are involved in the Khitan's collection of money and silk, let it go.His Jin ministers were forced to be envoys, not to ask questions, and ordered to go there.Since Yu Qidan, where he was punished.

This is a complete declaration of turning against the Khitan and determining the enemy and me.The officials, military and civilians of the various states were deeply affected by Yelu Deguang's "entitlement to include money" and "beating grass and valleys". Liu Zhiyuan made a fuss about the most painful points of the people in the Central Plains. Naturally, as a new emperor, he could gather a large number of people in a short period of time and win the leadership of Guizhou. 's approval.

As for those "coerced people", whether or not they are really being coerced, they are worth wooing.And the last sentence, in this era, can be regarded as a serious "kill Hu Ling".

It is conceivable that Liu Zhiyuan's edict, after coaxing it into the world, will definitely achieve good results, and the post-Jin relics, scholars and people in the Central Plains and Hebei, including those who took advantage of the situation, will definitely respond.

In fact, before Liu Zhiyuan proclaimed himself emperor, someone in Guanyou Shanzhou had already advocated for the world, officially setting off a wave of resistance to the Khitan rule.

As for the third edict, it was to hold high the banner of righteousness in Jinyang, and to recruit wise and brave people from all over the world to discuss the Khitan.This is a recruitment order, but in the name of the righteousness of destroying the Khitan, in the current environment, the effect will be very good.

The suggestion to recruit troops was put forward by Liu Chengyou.In these days, many people came to Hedong to defect to Liu Zhiyuan due to the turbulent situation in the Central Plains and Hebei. Among these people, there are many talented people, either resourceful or brave.

Liu Zhiyuan also resolutely accepted Liu Chengyou's suggestion.He is also concerned about the lack of troops under his command. If he wants to deal with the Khitans, the fifty thousand cavalry in Hedong is far from enough.

What's more, even if the Khitan is expelled, there is still enough power to overwhelm the world. Those local Jiedu in Shi Jin may not necessarily be convinced by him Liu Zhiyuan, or some people will definitely jump out against him, Liang, Tang, Jin Ji. The change of the dynasties is like this, and Liu Zhiyuan's turn will be no exception.

Moreover, the turmoil in the Central Plains will affect the world, and those separatist regimes in the south will not be safe, and they must also be guarded against.Gao Conghui sent envoys to persuade him to enter, and Later Shu simply sent troops to occupy the four prefectures of Qin, Feng, Chie, and Cheng. Southern Tang also accepted a large number of Huaibei soldiers and civilians who fled south. He also dared to take a bite in Huaibei.

Liu Chengyou had such a vision, and Liu Zhiyuan was pleased to accept the advice, and he would not have any resistance to expanding his strength.As for the financial pressure brought on by the expansion of the military, Yang Ping, Wang Zhang and others would have to deal with the headaches.

Liu Chengyou and Liu Zhiyuan said that the Khitan people can grab a lot of wealth in the Central Plains and Hebei, if they can take it from the Khitan people. The words are not fully explained, but Liu Zhiyuan is obviously tempted, but it does not stop there, even if Jealousy, also depends on the opportunity, after all, the Khitan army is not easy to deal with.Everything, but also to seize the country is the most important!
After several edicts, Liu Zhiyuan restarted the "East Advance" plan again.Liu Zhiyuan was not a person who gave up halfway, or wanted to finish the previous play, saying that he would "rescue" Shi Zhonggui and the Empress Dowager Jin, and be kind and support them in order to repay the kindness of the previous dynasty.

On the [-]th, because of the delay of "proclaiming the emperor", the expedition date was re-set.This time, it was selected on February [-].

During these few days, Liu Chengyou was very busy, actively selecting elites from the Jinyang armies to fill the forbidden palace.For this errand, Liu Chengyou was very attentive, and it was a rare opportunity to select elite soldiers.

He had a lot of ideas, Liu Zhiyuan's arrangement was to select soldiers as forbidden soldiers to protect the palace city.In Liu Chengyou's view, it is a bit different from the meaning of "Guardian Army" and the formation of "Dianqian Army", although Liu Zhiyuan has not officially issued an edict to officially upgrade the Hedong Jiedu Army to the Guards Pro-Army.

Even if Liu Zhiyuan didn't have that idea, Liu Chengyou had to take advantage of this opportunity to select the elite and organize the army.In addition to Zhou Shizong's trust, how did Zhao Kuangyin rise in the army in front of the palace, and rectifying the forbidden army was an important step to lay the cornerstone of his superior position.

The elites of his subordinates were selected. The Jinyang army was commanded from the capital to the capital. It was somewhat unwilling, but there was no way. The emperor wanted to form a palace forbidden army. Who would dare to refuse directly, let alone go in front of Liu Zhiyuan. Complaining can only be recognized by pinching the nose.The Long Qi Army, still under the jurisdiction of Liu Chengyou, also transferred a part of it, and the number was still quite large, with more than [-] people.

The selected officers and soldiers were much more excited. Those who were not strong and strong could not be selected, and it was their honor to be able to guard the emperor in front of him.At the same time, the treatment is naturally not bad.

Later, Liu Zhiyuan's reaction proved that he really just simply wanted to select some troops to enrich the imperial guards of Miyagi, and Liu Chengyou's actions turned him into an army that gathered the best of the three armies.From the various armies including Longqi Army, Liu Chengyou rounded up an integer and selected a total of [-] soldiers to form an army.

After reviewing it in person, Liu Zhiyuan was very satisfied with the military appearance and momentum, and sighed with admiration: "If I have elite soldiers like this, I don't need more, only [-], why worry about the world's injustice?"

As a result, Liu Zhiyuan officially decided to form a new army, and the bugle also accepted Liu Chengyou's suggestion and called it "Controlling the Crane Army".

The commander of the He-Controlling Army was still under Liu Chengyou's turn. Liu Zhiyuan favored Li Hongxin, Li's brother, Liu Chengyou's eldest uncle, and the commander of Xingjie's left wing.

However, Liu Chengyou was not dissatisfied with this. Most of the sergeants were selected by him. Although there was no major move, he also took the opportunity to place a lot of low-level officers.

For example, Li Dutou from the Zuoying of the First Army of Longqi, Liu Chengyou also personally met and encouraged him, and at the same time had a good impression of this person.

His name is Li Jian, character Yuanhui.
