Chapter 686 Strategic Direction Discussion and Merit Adding Officials (4K)

Wang Jing's expression became solemn, and the scene he saw in the void on the surface of the world emerged in his mind. Now there are many heroes in the world of Shenzhou, but only those few are the strongest.

The Daxia Dynasty he established dominates the southeast and ranks among them.

However, there are still Yingzheng, Liu Che, Liu Xiu, Liu Bei, and Li Shimin, each occupying a large area of ​​territory, and the strength of the dynasty can be called top.

Powers such as Cao Cao who occupy half of the Central Plains, Zhu Di in Hebei, King Zhao Wuling, etc., cannot compare with the top few,

It can only be regarded as a second-class force.

Among them, the ones that caught Wang Jing's attention the most were the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Shu Han in Bashu.
The three Han families are all among the top dynasties. Among them, the background of the Shu Han may be insufficient, but the high-level civil servants and generals are enough to support the dynasty.

Of these three, one occupies half of Guanzhong, one occupies half of the Central Plains and Nanyang, and the other occupies Bashu.

The three Han families almost blocked the way out of Qin Guodong.

If Yingzheng can't break through the siege before the power of the three Han courts continues to rise and the border borders,

Then he wanted to go east to the Kanto to fight for the hegemony of the Central Plains, and it was cut off.

What kind of career status as the emperor of heaven has nothing to do with Yingzheng. At most, relying on the foundation of guarding the pass and becoming the top dynasty in the world, they will compete for the status under the emperor of heaven.

Compared with Yingzheng, who was besieged by three Han courts, Wang Jing's strategic conditions were much better.However, just relying on the current territory of Daxia, it did not widen the gap with other dynasties.

As Liu Bowen said.

As long as Shu Han goes east and crosses Yiling, and Liu Xiu in the north captures Xiangyang, the two families can jointly take Jiangling.
At that time, the two Han courts will join forces and be condescending, which will bring great strategic advantages to the downstream Great Xia Dynasty.

Just like the four dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Song had the best strategic advantage, and the territory in its heyday was still higher than that of the later Southern Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that due to civil strife, Jianghuai was lost in Nanqi and Nanliang, and the strategic advantage was lost by half. However, Nanliang has Jiangling and Bashu in its hands, and it still has the qualifications to be honored by the south.

But in Nanchen, Bashu is gone, and the key areas of Jiangling and Jianghuai are gone.

For the founding of the Southern Dynasties, the most important strategic location was Jiangling in the upper reaches. Without this place, the dynasty would be destroyed sooner or later, followed by Jianghuai and other places.

If there is neither, the dynasty is inherently dying.

This was the case with Southern Chen, which was conquered by the Sui Dynasty only 20 years after its founding. If the Sui Dynasty hadn’t replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would have lived a little longer, while Southern Chen would not have survived even [-] years.

The land of the Shenzhou world is very vast, but the general direction of mountains and rivers is [-]% to [-]% similar to that of the source world. That is to say, the problems faced by Nan Chen in the source world are also very important to the Great Xia Dynasty.

"You're right. Now that Jianghuai is in my hands, there is no force in the south of the Yangtze River that can resist our army. It is true that we should take Jiangling as soon as possible to avoid being taken advantage of by others!"

Wang Jingshen took it for granted and was successfully persuaded by Liu Bowen.

"However, our soldiers and horses have just fought a battle, and the Jiangdong camp and Wei Rui's troops have not yet retreated. Right now, I can only send the navy to capture Anqing. After taking this place, I will investigate the situation around Jiangling and wait for the opportunity to advance!"

Wang Jing said.

When Wang Jing summoned Liu Bowen.

Wei Rui and Murong Shaozong have teamed up to fight the Song Army. The Xia Army's morale is high and they have surrounded Huzhou and Jiaxing.Battle reports are sent to Jinling every day.

The two armies now have a total of 70 million. A war of this scale involves many aspects and is very complicated. Just delivering food and grass to the military camp every day takes up half of the navy's ships and a large number of merchant ships.

In addition, the troops of the Zhenjiang camp were stationed near Xuancheng.

The only force that Wang Jing could use was the Lujiang camp that was being recruited into the Dangtu Ming army.

After being reminded by Liu Bowen.

Wang Jing began to set his sights on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, putting the threat of the Southern Song Dynasty in the second, or even the third.

"I ordered He Ruobi to send troops to Anqing. With He Ruobi's ability, I will not be disappointed... Bowen, your suggestion today opened my mind. However, you have just defected and have no merit. I will not be able to promote you for the time being!"

"How about this, you will go to the Jiangdong camp first, assist Murong Shaozong and Shi Wansui, and urge them to defeat the enemy. If the Song army is defeated, you will hold my scepter and temporarily negotiate a peace with the Song army... You can play by ear for the conditions of the peace negotiation .”

After Wang Jing pondered for a moment, he said slowly.

He didn't want to delay too much time with the Song Army. It would be best to sign an agreement with the Song Army after taking Lin'an, allowing the Song Army to open up to the south, and the two sides would no longer have conflicts within a few years.

Since it is impossible to beat the opponent to death with a single stick, then beat the opponent to a cripple first, with fear in his heart, not daring to provoke Da Xia.

Of course, this was all Wang Jing's idea.

If Zhao Yan and Song Jun really want to fight Xia Jun regardless of life and death, then Wang Jing will not be soft, and will definitely send troops to chase and kill them.

"Your Majesty is so kind and trustworthy, I will die forever!"

Liu Bowen looked a little moved, stood up, and saluted Wang Jing respectfully.

He could feel that Wang Jing trusted him as a newcomer, and even bestowed the scepter and the authority to act according to circumstances... This is to allow him to grasp the power and make meritorious deeds quickly.

And this kind of kindness does not have any calculations.

Liu Bowen could only secretly sigh with emotion, fortunately he had defected to His Majesty, it was the right person.

"Go, I hope you can live up to expectations and succeed as soon as possible. In the future, when I lead the army westward and attack Jiangling, I need you to come to the army to advise me!"

A smile appeared on Wang Jing's face.

Liu Bowen bowed to salute again, took three steps back, and then turned around to leave under the leadership of the eunuch.

After the other party left.

Wang Jing didn't stay in the garden for too long, and returned to the Hall of Qinzheng, summoned the important officials of the three provinces and six ministers to discuss some matters in the Ningde Province and prepare for the army's award.

Every time the army went to battle, as long as the soldiers of the Xia army made contributions, they would be rewarded.

Those who have made meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished. This is one of the foundations of the Xia army's incomparably powerful combat effectiveness and invincibility.

There is nothing to say about these, the number of rewards has formed a rule.

The main reason is to discuss the merits of this Southern Expedition, who has the first credit, who has the second credit, and the list of meritorious generals and schools in the army, all need to be discussed.

Among them, the credits of generals and above must be determined by Wang Jing himself.

"In this Southern Expedition, Xie Xuan made the first contribution, Wei Rui the second, and Fu Youde the third... Xie Xuan and Wei Rui will be conferred titles, Fu Youde will be promoted, given land, and rewarded with praise..."

Wang Jing looked at the memorabilia delivered and nodded slightly.

There is not much doubt about Xie Xuan's meritorious deeds. He led the army to capture Gaochun, which became the key to the victory of the Southern Expedition, blocked Zhu Yuanzhang's way to the south, fought bloody battles, and ranked first in terms of merit.

Wei Rui, on the other hand, made great contributions in offering advice, and led his army to contain the main force of the Song army.

Fu Youde's credit, because Jurong and Jinling were given up by the Ming army on their own initiative, is much less, and can only be ranked third.And his title of Duke of Shouchun County is further up to Duke and King of the County.

His contribution this time is not enough to become a county magistrate, he can only add officials, grant land, and reward some honorary things.

At this moment.

Wang Jingcai felt that in those dynasties in history, in addition to official officials and titles, it is really necessary to have an additional system of scattered officials.

This is especially suitable for situations like Fu Youde's, where credit is not enough to be promoted to a noble or official, but it is also not possible to be rewarded for meritorious service.

"You said, in the Great Xia system, should there be another loose official system?"

Inside the hall.

Wang Jing put the memorial aside and asked suddenly.

Serving in the hall at this time were Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang, Bu Zhi, Su Wei, Gao Yan, Zhang Juzheng, Li Shanchang, and Pei Ju, six ministers.

Shen Yi thought for a moment before replying cautiously: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to set up Sanguan at this time. Sanguan is not a title, but for those civil and military who have no military merits but have made contributions to our dynasty, let them After you become an official, you can get the respect you deserve..."

Wang Jing's expression moved slightly.

What Shen Yi answered didn't seem to be the same question as what he asked.

He wanted to ask this award, and whether it is possible to add scattered officials to the award in the future, which is more or less an honor, but Shen Yi was thinking about the treatment of officials after they serve...

This, Wang Jing really didn't think about it.

After all, the Great Xia Dynasty has just been established, and the civil servants and military generals under its command are all young and powerful, and each of them has a strong cultivation base and a long lifespan, so there is no need to consider the issue of becoming an official.

Of course, after being reminded by the other party, Wang Jing also realized that Daxia still has many middle and low-level civil and military personnel.Especially civil servants, who have worked hard for decades, but after returning home, they have become ordinary people, and their mentality will definitely be unstable.

If it is as Shen Yi said, adding an honorary official to the dynasty system can not only represent the benevolence of the court, but also give comfort to these officials, and gain the respect of other common people in urban and rural areas.

"What about you? What's your opinion?"

Wang Jing glanced at the crowd.

Gao Yan cupped his hands and said: "I also think that Sanguan should be set up, and should be given corresponding treatment. However, Sanguan cannot be compared with the official and title, and can only be used to increase salary!"

Bu Zhi, Zhang Juzheng, Li Shanchang and others also opened their mouths and expressed their views.

Generally speaking, their opinions are similar to those of Shen Yi and Gao Yan.

"The remuneration for becoming an official, increased salary... Isn't this the same as retirement remuneration and pension... plus an honorary title, the name is different, but the essence is the same!"

Wang Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he secretly sighed in his heart.

"Since you all agree, let's discuss with each other first, and write down the official titles and remuneration of civil and military casual officials, and submit it to me for review. If there are no omissions, we will implement it after this award!"

Wang Jing said slowly.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will obey your orders!"

The crowd answered in unison.

As for why it wasn't implemented immediately, because it might make Xia Jun and the whole army feel that the court gave a special official for their rewards.

I thought the imperial court withheld the reward and replaced it with a seemingly useless title...

After finishing talking about this topic, Zhang Juzheng stepped forward again and reported the situation of cleaning up Jinling not long ago, beheaded all the people who should be killed, and sent away those who should be mined, and the city of Jinling was completely new.

And also seized a large amount of food and supplies from the homes of these prisoners, as well as shops and warehouses.And hundreds of mansions and fields.

"Well, you've handled this matter well, and it's very much to my liking!"

While listening, Wang Jing flipped through the account books he sent up and nodded slightly.

"By the way, these vacant mansions and fields are used to reward the generals and officials who have made great achievements this time! They have made contributions to the court, and I can't let them have no place to live in Jinling..."

Wang Jing said casually.

……

In the land of Shandong, on the vast wilderness, two armies faced each other at a distance. Hundreds of thousands of armies were mighty, and the barracks stretched into mountains, with a radius of thousands of miles. They were all cavalry scattered by the two armies.

Among them, in the big camp in the west, a large flag was hung high, with the big Wei character written on it.

This is the Cao Wei Dynasty, known by many as the camp of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei.

After Cao Cao occupied half of the Central Plains to the east of Bianliang, he set his sights on the Qingxu land in the east, especially the Shandong land known as Qingzhou, and put it in the first place.

Because the Central Plains extend in all directions, there is almost no danger to defend.Facing enemies from all directions, he was inherently disadvantaged.

Shenzhou World is not the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the original history.

He could not coerce the emperor to command the princes, and there were powerful enemies in the east, west, north, south, west, Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and in the south, the Great Xia Wangjing who occupied the Jianghuai River and was expected to unify the south of the Yangtze River.

To the north are the three powers of Ran Wei, Zhao Guo, and Qian Yan. The three families have absorbed many civil and military dynasties and are vying for Hebei. As for Cao Cao's historical enemy Yuan Shao, he was eliminated a few years ago when the princes were in chaos.

Then the dynasties established by Hu people such as Later Zhao and Qian Zhao have almost disappeared, leaving only one Qianyan barely holding on.

Gao Huan Gao Cheng, who was originally fighting against the heroes in Hebei, saw the opportunity early and chose to go south to Shandong, and now he has become a strong enemy in the east of Cao Wei.

After Liu Xiu digests Nanyang, takes Xiangyang, and Hebei is unified, Cao Wei will fall into an extreme disadvantage.

Therefore, Cao Cao must have a strategic buffer place, a place that can be used as the rear.

So he chose Qingzhou.

Compared with others, Gao Huan and Gao Cheng are not difficult to deal with.

inside the tent.

Cao Cao's not-so-tall figure was sitting behind the wooden case, flipping through the news sent by the school affairs office. On both sides of him, there were two very young-looking teenagers.

These two are the historical Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, and Gaogui Township Duke Cao Mao...

Cao Cao liked them the most, so he asked them to accompany him to assist him in handling Cao Wei's government and military affairs.As for Cao Pi, stay behind to prevent accidents.

"King Wei, the ministers have arrived!"

Lang Guan outside reported in a low voice.

"pass!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice, and soon, two teams of civil and military generals filed in, of which the military generals accounted for the majority.After the civil and military generals saluted, Cao Cao motioned for everyone to take their seats.

On the side of civil servants, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Zhang Bin who went south from Hebei to Cao Wei were headed.

The generals are Cao Wei's clan generals Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, as well as generals Zhang He, Dian Wei, Gao Aocao and others.

In addition to them, there are many famous ministers and generals under Cao Cao's command staying behind.

In order to face Gao Huan this time, Cao Wei also dispatched many elites.

 There is one more chapter, it is estimated that it will be written until a little bit, everyone, don’t wait, take a rest when it is time to rest, the same is true when you read it in the morning...
