Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 412 Only to the Celestial Dynasty, not to the immoral

On August [-]th, Zhang Zhao finally returned to Liangzhou before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not popular at this time, it is just an ordinary festival for watching the moon.

It's just that Zhang Zhao's wives and concubines know that King Zhang attaches great importance to this festival, so they make it very grand every year on August [-]th.

According to Zhang Zhao's request, the whole family was reunited together, and fruits, vegetables and fine wine were naturally indispensable.

Zhang Zhao's biological mother, Mrs. Song, was wearing a very plain jacket and skirt, and she seemed to match her temperament very well, revealing a little timidity in her indifference and simplicity.

So when she heard Zhang Zhao talking about establishing a country, Mrs. Song visibly trembled, with a look of fear on her face, Zhang Zhao could only go over and take Mrs. Song's hand to explain softly.

"My son's founding of the country this time is supported by the unanimous support of the top and bottom. The emperor of the Central Plains has lost his virtue. We will return to the country with loyalty. We will no longer be able to live under the servants of immoral people. Everything has been arranged, don't worry, mother!"

Hearing her son's repeated assurances, a smile appeared on Song's face.

"In life, power and wealth are fleeting. My son should be satisfied with what he has achieved today. Don't cause more trouble."

Zhang Zhao nodded again and again, but sighed in his heart, no wonder Zhang Zhao liked to chant Buddha before crossing, and it turned out that he inherited it from his mother Song.

However, this is also good, and it is not bad to have a good queen mother in the palace who is not a monster!
If the aunt Princess Fengtian came, it would definitely not be so troublesome.

During the conversation, King Zhang's sons and daughters all left by themselves, or were carried over.

Zhang Zhao now has six biological children. The eldest son is Zhang Xiancun born by Li Ruoliu, also known as Li Zhun, who is almost eight years old this year.

This kid is a well-known social chatterbox, and he can quickly strike up a conversation with anyone he sees.

When I meet Zhang Zhao, I’m not afraid, I catch him and ask him all the time, sometimes he’s very cute, sometimes he’s very bearish.

However, unlike his mother's expectation of becoming a capable person who governs a party like his uncle Li Ruoyu, or a general who expands the territory like his second uncle Li Ruotai, this kid's intelligence and intelligence are all wrong.

He could speak at the age of two, and read poetry and books at the age of five. Now he is not yet eight years old, but he has already developed a high talent and understanding in painting, especially in painting Buddha statues.

As a result, Liangzhou, which has no culture, has no one to be his teacher.

This.!

This is less than eight years old!What if I grow up?

Reminiscent of figures such as Yuchi Bazhina and Yuchi Yiseng from his maternal ancestor's family in history, Zhang Zhao also understood that it is likely that the painting genes of Yuchi's family were suddenly awakened.

Originally Li Ruoliu was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiancun for taking this wrong path in his opinion, but Zhang Zhao liked it very much.

Zhang Xiancun was the eldest son, and his uncles were generals under Zhang Zhao's command. In order to reassure people, Zhang Zhao even showed him off as his heir.

Now that Zhang Xian has the potential to be a happy prince with both poetry and painting, Zhang Zhao is of course happy.

Seeing this, Li Ruoliu had no choice but to give up, but she had a new target, which was Zhang Zhao's third son, Zhang Xianzhao.

This Li Ruoliu is a machine for giving birth to sons, often just need to touch it a few times, she will definitely get pregnant, and if she is pregnant, she will definitely give birth to a son.

Zhang Zhao currently has three sons, and she gave birth to two by herself.

Zhang Xianzhao was born in April this year. He is only four months old now. He looks fat and fat, and he is very cute. He is the jewel in the palm of his biological mother, Mrs. Song.

No one can delay Song's chanting, but after Zhang Xianzhao arrived, he could stop chanting.

The second son is Zhang Xianyu, who was born to Ayiguli, and this is a son Zhang Zhao is more worried about.

He is six years old this year, probably because his mother is a widow, or a widow who was sent to her home, and her status is not high. Zhang Xianyu has been mostly in Khotan and Ningyuan, and has not had much communication with Zhang Zhao.

The child is fat and puffy, and has some yellow-headed Uyghur blood, but he actually looks cute.

It's just that he is not good at speech and is more introverted. He is completely different from Li Zhun in reading and writing. He still can't recognize fifty characters, and he hasn't seen anything special about his martial arts.

well!Zhang Zhao sighed, with such a temperament, how could he become a great king in Talas in the future!

Beckoning, Zhang Zhao called Zhang Xianyu to his side, preparing to train him well, if it doesn't work, let him be a happy prince in the future.

The days when the fat house is not short of money or women, isn't it my ideal before?
Seeing Zhang Xianyu sitting next to Zhang Zhao, someone was dissatisfied, and a little girl in a woven gold jacket ran over with her mouth pouted.

The little girl is not even seven years old, but she is already very tall, with long legs, snow-white skin, a small bright red mouth and a strange expression on her face.

Everything perfectly covered Zhang Zhao's preferences. How could such a daughter not love her?

This is Zhang Qixiu, the eldest daughter of Cao Yanmian who was born to Zhang Zhaosheng. The little girl has seen her father come back for so long, but she hasn't gotten close to him, tears are only rolling in her eyes.

Zhang Xianyu, who had just been sitting next to Zhang Zhao, saw Zhang Qixiu running over, and the little fat man quickly got up to give way to the elder sister.

He also thoughtfully wiped the small square stool and asked the elder sister to sit on her head, Zhang Zhao couldn't laugh or cry.

In addition to the older ones, there are two younger ones. The second daughter is also the eldest daughter Zhang Qinan, who is over one year old.

Zhang Zhao didn't expect that on the wedding night, Cao Nineniang's words about Yan Xi would become a prophecy.

That day Nineteen Niang said that if she didn't hurry up, Zhang Zhao might not know where to go, and now it really came true.

Before his daughter was a month old, Zhang Zhao raised his army and went out to fight. He left at the end of July last year and returned in mid-August this year.

It has been more than a year since she left, and the daughter who was about the size of a little mouse can now babble and learn to call her father.

The other daughter was younger than his legitimate daughter, also born to Cao Yanmian, about the same age as the third son, Zhang Xianzhao, and was being hugged by a maid, sleeping soundly.

Zhang Zhaoman took Nineteen Niang Yanxi's hand apologetically, feeling quite guilty in his heart, from birth to over one year old, Zhang Zhao estimated that he hadn't hugged his daughter five times.

This is also the reason why there is little affection between the eldest sons of the founders of the past dynasties. They gather less and leave more, and the children grow up in the blink of an eye. Maybe they still have their own team. It is strange that the relationship can be good.

Zhang Zhao also thought about whether eunuchs could be used without eunuchs before, but after looking at the length of his expedition, if eunuchs are not used in the future, his head might be green, so let's go with the flow.

In addition to his three biological sons and three daughters, Zhang Zhao also had three more important sons and one daughter.

Three sons, Murong Xinchang, Li Cunhui, Zhang Liecheng.

The first two are his confidant generals, and the latter has in fact managed the intelligence department for Zhang Zhao.

But although Murong Nobunaga and Li Cunhui came to today's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, they are almost indistinguishable from his son, but Zhang Zhao will not let them both change their surnames.

Especially Murong Nobunaga, once he changed his surname, he would have the right to inherit, which is very dangerous. Sometimes, things don't just depend on personal will.

The remaining daughter, Tingting Niaoyiao 15 years old, was born very beautiful. She has no blood relationship with Zhang Zhao, and also has some blood relationship with Cao Yanmian. She is the daughter of Saktu and the former Queen Ge Luolu.

The little girl was captured by Zhang Zhao when she was seven years old, and she has been with her all the time. Now she is completely Sinicized, speaking Chinese and wearing Hanfu.

Cao Yanmian hinted several times that the little girl could be taken in, but Zhang Zhao still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

So simply taking advantage of this Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Zhao named her Zhang Qiwan, which can be regarded as officially becoming Zhang Zhao's daughter.

. . . .

After resting for a few days, at the end of August, edicts calling for the deputy ambassadors, governors, guardian envoys, and general soldiers of the Guiyi Army began to be issued frequently from Liangzhou.

Yan Jin from Qinzhou, Li Ruoyu from Taozhou, Fanquan from Shanzhou, Pei Yuan from Lingzhou, Wu Luan from Xiazhou and others all received orders to rush to Liangzhou before November.

At the end of November, Zhang Zhao's aunt, Princess Fengtianchang, and Khotan Prince Li Congde, who had returned to Khotan, rushed from Khotan to Liangzhou. Zhang Zhao's process of establishing a state finally began.

However, although it is a country, there is one purpose that has not changed.

That is, Zhang Zhao didn't close the door to pursue independence like Meng Zhixiang established Houshu.

It is not like Li Sheng in the Southern Tang Dynasty who compiled Wu Wang Li Ke as his ancestor and established an unreasonable Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Zhao led the Han people in Anxi, Hexi, and Longyou to return to the country with righteousness. What he himself wanted to end was the chaos and disorder of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

This meant that Zhang Zhao could not build a country just for power and power at will, without any reason.

Unless he is willing to be a separatist regime like Lu Guang and Zhang Gui.

It is extremely difficult to establish an independent country without harming righteousness, but fortunately Zhang Zhao is in a very favorable window period.

Among the non-puppet emperors in China for more than [-] years, Shi Jingtang said that he was shameless as the second, and he did not dare to say that he was the first. Zhu Yougui, who murdered his father and usurped the throne, had more reputation than him.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao also had to consider leaving a way out for himself, and not to stimulate the post-Jin regime in the Central Plains too much.

Because in reality, Zhang Zhao's Hexi regime currently has a wider territory and a better international form than the original Xixia regime.

However, in terms of the mobilization ability of the regime, it is far inferior to Xixia during Li Yuanhao's period in history.

There are about 3 million people under Zhang Zhao's rule now, but Zhang Zhao has established a detailed and effective rule, and the people who can fully mobilize will not exceed 500,000 people.

The rest are basically Zhuqiang, Dangxiang, Uighur, Dadan, Tubo and other ethnic groups.

Zhang Zhao can only use the leaders of various ministries to carry out tribal leader-like rule that is better than Jimi rule.

With this population, tens of thousands of troops can be raised, and the fields have been barren since the end of Tang Dynasty in Longyou, Hexi, and the productivity has been greatly damaged. It is actually unaffordable.

The reason why they can afford it now is because Zhang Zhao restored the Hexi trade route and opened up the small circle of the Silk Road.

For example, white sugar, rock sugar, tea bricks, cotton, and bank notes are all derived from this. This business route is his lifeline.

If the court of the Later Jin Dynasty was offended severely, the court of the Later Jin Dynasty would block Tongguan and even blockade the passes west of Chang'an with the attitude of injuring five hundred of themselves and one thousand of the enemy.

Prohibiting Hexi merchants from trading in the Central Plains and prohibiting the export of Central Plains goods to Hexi will inevitably cause a major economic collapse in Hexi.

At that time, let alone dispatching tens of thousands of cavalry, even more than ten thousand army horses will not be able to fight for a long time.

More importantly, if he burns the fire on himself, wouldn't he be taking advantage of the Khitan people?

Therefore, Zhang Zhao's general strategy is to publicly announce to the world that the establishment of an independent country is not the original intention, but the emperor's failure of virtue, and secretly focus on Shi Jingtang, who is angry and dead.

The son emperor was sandwiched between Liu Zhiyuan and the Khitan people in history, and was aggrieved everywhere, and died of depression in 942.

It is now the end of 940, and it is very possible to die of anger a year earlier.

When Shi Jingtang died, and Shi Chonggui, a hot-blooded but incompetent reckless man, came to power, Zhang Zhao could still use his status as an independent king to bargain with the Central Plains court and return to the country after leaving the country.

After sorting out these pros and cons, the title of the country is very simple.

Han definitely can't use it, it was sealed by Shi Jingtang, and Jianguo definitely can't use it.

Tang is no good either. No matter how much people in Anxi and Hexi miss Tang, they can call themselves Tang survivors, but they must not use Tang as the country name, because he is not a descendant of the Li family after all.

Qin is not good either, according to Guan Long, especially Guan Zhong can be Qin, Zhang Zhao has nothing to do with Long, so he cannot be called Qin.

If you want to call Qin, unless you take Guanzhong now, then the conflict with the later Jin will be irreconcilable.

Shi Jingtang only had one option to send troops to fight Zhang Zhao, and Yelu Deguang might wake up laughing from his dream.

So for now, there is only Liang as an option, but it can't be called Liangguo directly, because that would destroy the image of the Guiyi Army returning to the country righteously.

At this time, the father who had no influence on the current Zhang Zhao or the original Zhang Zhao, Zhang Chengfeng, the emperor in white, finally played his due role.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Zhao set up the ancestral temple of Sheji in the outskirts of Liangzhou, slaughtered pigs, cattle and sheep as sacrifices to heaven, and issued "A Call to the Lord of Jin" to make it clear to the world.

The books were passed on to Meng Shu, Southern Tang Dynasty, Ma Chu, Qian Yue, Jing Nan, Wang Min, Southern Han Dynasty, as well as Duan Siping, the Jiedu envoy of Tonghai, and Wu Quan, the envoy of Jinghai.

Of course, this condemnation is not a crusade, but a denunciation. Zhang Zhao denounced Shi Jingtang's five major crimes in his essay.

First, the betrayal of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and the decree to cede Yunzhou are sinners through the ages.

Second, as the country's military envoy, he betrayed the country for glory, rebelled against the founding of the country, and had no loyalty at all.

Third, it is shameless to humiliate the ancestors of the country by saying that the son and father of China serve Khitan.

Fourth, An Chongrong defended the country's borders and had no objection. He was executed just because he opposed Khitan, and his head was sent to Khitan. This is an injustice of the monarch.

Fifth, Du Chongwei indiscriminately killed [-] innocent people in Zhenzhou. Shi Jingtang not only refused to punish him, but also wantonly shielded him.

The Guiyi army was trapped in Tubo for 50 years, and they were still able to return to the country. They were not an unfaithful, unjust, benevolent, unkind, and unvirtuous king like the Jin Lord Shi Jingtang.

What the Guiyi Army wants to return to is the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty with both benevolence and virtue.

Therefore, the five quarters of Hexi, Anxi, Longyou, Lingwu, and Xiasui had 3 million soldiers and civilians, and they had to stand on their own.

Zhang Zhao established himself in the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty and called himself the King of Great Liang. The second year after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, 908 AD was the first year of the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty, and this year is the 32nd year of the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty.

Zhang Zhao also made it clear to the world that if the Holy Lord of the Central Plains came out, the millions of soldiers and civilians of the Liang Kingdom should return to the country.

　I have to go on a business trip today, it’s a bit far away, and the drive will take five or six hours. I will try my best to ensure two updates. If I really can’t write it, I can only owe one update.

　　In addition, Liang is not necessarily the last national name. I thought of a show operation, but I didn't think about it specifically, and maybe I will change it later.
