Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1315 Conferring the King, Ming!

The flames of war in July became more and more intense.

The fact that the Mu army occupied Luoyang was like adding fuel to the fire, pushing the atmosphere of the war to a higher level.

In the middle and late July, a bloody battle broke out at the boundary bridge between Jizhou and Youzhou.

The battle lasted for three days and two nights, and more than [-] soldiers were killed on both sides.

The blood has stained the boundary bridge red.

If this battle declares that Youzhou has joined the war, then in an offensive and defensive battle from Changsha, the Jiangdong Army surprises Changsha. , Waiting for reinforcements from the Zhaoming Second Army.

The Zhaoming Second Army met the Jiangdong Army and fought a bloody battle under the city. After the battle, the Jiangdong Army retreated.

The Jiangdong Army withdrew south.

But he didn't leave too far. Instead, he continued to mobilize troops from Jiaozhou, after all, Changsha.

This declares that Jiangdong, the last prince of the Central Plains, has also participated in this unparalleled Central Plains war.

…………

Time began to enter August.

July and August are the rainy season.

But in July this year, there was not so much rain, but after entering August, there were sudden and fierce heavy rains, and it fell directly.

In Yudu, ferocious torrential rain covered the entire sky. The sky was hazy, and raindrops the size of soybeans were falling along the eaves, washing every inch of the city.

"This year's flood control measures are not good enough. Just now, in several counties along the banks of the Yangtze River, there have been more or less epidemics where the rivers have surged, and the embankments have burst and flooded the fields!"

At the meeting in Zhaoming Pavilion, Mu Jing put forward a flood prevention suggestion: "I remember that I have already reminded you of the Political Affairs Hall before, this matter should not be underestimated!"

"At present, the express edict of our Zhengshitang has already been rushed for eight hundred miles, and it has been sent. Now let's see if the state government of each state and the county government of each county can do the work more carefully!"

Hu Zhao responded in a low voice: "In this regard, I am responsible. I am willing to take responsibility for failing to do a more careful job and fail to do better flood control measures!"

"It's not a matter of responsibility. What I want is to do the work properly. Just some paperwork and notices are not enough!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "People are lazy, without a little pressure, they can't get things done , A lot of things are just passing by before they happen, so we have to put enough pressure on them to make them take it seriously!"

Yanhuang itself is an agriculture-based country. Today's agriculture depends on the sky for food. Since ancient times, flood prevention and disaster prevention have been a non-negotiable topic.

"I suggest that your political affairs hall, from now on, immediately form a work supervision team and go to various places to inspect flood control affairs and supervise flood control and disaster prevention. If there is a flood, where the flood occurs, you must first ensure that the people The crops will not be damaged by this!"

Mujing proposed.

"Row!"

Hu Zhao thought for a while, nodded and said.

Now Liu Jin went to inspect the new policy, but the government affairs hall responded, and he was concurrently in charge, basically he was the leader and Qin Song was the assistant.

"Next, let's continue with a topic that we didn't fully complete last time, that is, is it appropriate for our Minghou Mansion to enshrine a king and build a country?"

Mujing rubbed his temples, and brought out this question that had been haunting Minghou's mansion for several days.

Seal the king.

Taking this step is crucial.

There are also huge problems to face.

If one step is not careful, it will fall into the abyss, and the result will be the kind of death that can't die again.

In his own heart, he was also up and down.

The first person to eat a crab is indeed a warrior.

But most of the warriors died the fastest.

For example, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Xiang Yu rushed fiercely, but Liu Bang would take advantage of it. You destroyed the Qin Dynasty, but in the end you let me take advantage of it.

Mujing didn't want to become a disaster for himself.

Sometimes, you still have to be optimistic about the situation.

When you can't get ahead, you have to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, accumulate food widely, build walls high, and become king slowly.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, all the heroes rose together to resist the Yuan Dynasty. The princes from all walks of life did not want to fight. Zhu Yuanzhang knew it and kept quiet. You can be king as you like. I will accumulate strength first, and finally let him Established the court of the old Zhu family.

However, how to grasp the current situation is also a problem. It does not mean that you can wait for the world to come.

During the chaotic war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, if the Li family hadn't raised troops in Taiyuan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, there would be no Li Tang later.

Zhao Kuangyin was able to mutiny at Chenqiao, and he was given a yellow robe.

But Li Shimin could only kill brothers and brothers, and imprisoned Lao Tzu before he won the world.

To choose this thing, different times require different choices. Sometimes you have to be decisive, and sometimes you learn to be dormant.

"My lord, we've already said what we need to say about our opinion. It's up to you now!"

Everyone was silent. Everyone who should express their opinions on this issue has expressed their opinions, but there is no absolutely unified opinion, so Hu Zhao directly kicked the ball back: "If my lord thinks that this matter is appropriate, then even if there is a sea of ​​swords and flames ahead, we will I am willing to accompany you to go on, if the lord thinks that the timing is wrong, we can bear it, and we can bear it!"

"If I knew, I wouldn't ask you!"

Mu Jing patted that shiny forehead.

"Report!"

At this time, a deep and somewhat sharp voice sounded outside the lobby.

This is Xin Zhao, with a somewhat unique voice.

Mu Jing frowned slightly, Zhaoming Pavilion is the most sacred place in the Minghou Mansion, especially when a meeting is held, unless it is a rush that cannot be delayed, no one can disturb it.

Xin Zhao is the most disciplined, because he was born as an eunuch, so he has always understood the insurmountable rules very thoroughly, and never made publicity. This is his best way to protect himself.

Being so reckless today must be a big deal.

"Enter!"

Mu Jing spoke in a low voice.

"My lord, Xu Du was sent back. It only took one day, and the people who sent the letter back from Jingzhou ran away and died three horses!"

Xin Zhao This is a secret melody.

"Have you solved it?" No need to look, everyone knows that this must be a big bomb, otherwise the people in Xudu Town would not use such a hasty method to send a message. After all, the cost of sending a message like this is too high. Can't afford it.

"no!"

Xin Zhao shook his head: "Top secret, we can't solve it ourselves!"

It is no longer a secret that Mu Jun uses codes to send messages, but for different levels of information, Mu Jun uses different codes, and there are several sets.

The most top-secret set can't be solved except by the people in Zhaoming Pavilion's official office.

"Zhongheng!"

"exist!"

"Let someone decrypt it immediately!"

"Yes!"

Huo Yu bowed his hands and took the order, and spent a stick of incense before and after, to break out the news.

"My lord, this is the original message!"

Huo Yucheng reported.

"King Wei, the regent court?" Mu Jing glanced at the news, the corner of his mouth twitched, and a bitter smile appeared: "It seems that we don't want to discuss it anymore, they have already made a move!"

He passed the news to all the political participants in Zhaoming Pavilion for inspection.

"Cao Mengde is so brave!"

"This guy is not afraid of being drowned by the spittle of the world!"

"Even in the imperial court, I am afraid that many people will criticize this beast with words and pens!"

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but gasped.

This news is the news from the court.

Just one day before, in the imperial court, the emperor issued an edict to make Cao Cao the king of Wei, the first prince born in the imperial court who was not a king of Liu.

"Actually, I think that Cao Mengde's doing this is a helpless way. The holy will of becoming a king did not come from him at the beginning, so he was forced to do nothing!"

Hu Zhao calmed down and said with analysis.

"In other words, it should be that Cao Cao was swayed by the emperor, and then..." Mu Jing smiled: "At this time, he can't suppress the world at all, so he can only find a way to remedy it. Even if I become the king at that time, it's just that, I can't suppress him, what a good way!"

He had to admire Cao Cao's quick response and his extraordinary courage.

"And in this way, he not only disintegrated the problems brought about by you becoming the king, but also solved the final problem of the Hebei campaign. If you become the king, then you will naturally be drawn into the court sequence, and you must send troops to Hebei Already!"

Sitting beside Cai Yong, there was a look of unbearable in his eyes, but it dissipated in an instant, and he entered his own role. He said in a low voice analysis: "Let's let us protect the Southwest for him to unify Hebei. It's a strategy to kill two birds with one stone. Simple!"

"But the sequelae this brought to him are also very serious!"

Hu Zhao said in a cold voice: "Back when the great ancestor established the country, under the Han Dynasty's orthodox system, all those with different surnames who were crowned kings had already been exterminated. It was the rule for many years that he was not the king. Since he broke the rule, He must bear this result, and he will definitely lose the support of Shilin!"

"I'm afraid he doesn't care anymore!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "Cao Mengde seems to be a little impatient to leave, but because of his haste, he knows well that he doesn't put the emperor in his eyes at all, and he doesn't even put Hebei in his eyes. Even Youzhou, He doesn’t think he’s an opponent, he’s anxious because of us in the Southwest, maybe he thinks he can’t afford it, the Southwest after the implementation of the New Deal!”

The New Deal is good. This is a recognized fact. Anyone with a little knowledge and discernment can see it. Those who oppose it are not just because the New Deal is bad, but their interests determine their position.

After the New Deal, the vitality exchanged in Southwest China was terrifying. Even a hero like Cao Cao dared not give Mujing a chance to develop.

That's why he became anxious. He wanted to pacify the north. Only after the north was pacified would he be able to fight a life-and-death battle with the southwest.

"Then how do we deal with it?"

Hu Zhao asked a question.

"Since Cao Cao has already been crowned king, we don't need to discuss it here!" Mu Jing said in a low voice: "Accept the imperial decree, establish the Ming Dynasty, make the southwest independent, and divide the world!"

………………

Once there is a decision, it will be easy to handle.

Zhong Yao came prepared.

The imperial decree was prepared in advance, what Mujing had to do was to set up the incense table, receive the imperial decree, and submit it to the Han Dynasty.

Feng Wang, Ming.

King Ming's name was quickly publicized.

There are newspapers in the Southwest.

Since Mujing issued the first guarantee, many people have followed suit, especially scholars, how could public opinion be completely controlled by Mujing, so people and money were sent out, and some newspapers were also published.

Newspapers are the fastest channel for distributing news in the entire Southwest. It is not just official dissemination, but direct insertion into private dissemination, allowing news to reach families one by one.

The monstrous discussion that aroused in an instant.

"I heard that the Marquis of Ming has been crowned king?"

"The Yudu Daily has already marked it!"

"It's not the Marquis of Ming anymore, it's the King of Ming!"

"It seems to be a prince awarded by the emperor!"

"We big men have not had the title of a king with a different surname for many years. The fiefdom is in the southwest, so Minghou does not mean that he has established a country in the southwest!"

"Even if the country is not established, isn't Marquis Ming still the king of the southwest?"

"I kind of think that the imperial court is undoubtedly taking off their pants and farting!"

"You can't say that. Since ancient times, everything you do requires reason. If your name is not right, your words will not be right. Now that the king has fallen and the king of Ming has established a country, he can rule the people in a legitimate way. This is a good thing!"

"But for so many years, the big man has never been crowned king and Liu's royal family, and now he is suddenly crowned king, isn't it a bit strange?"

"Don't worry about other things, I think, let Minghou, no, Mingwang rule the southwest, we can have a good life!"

"Duke Ming is good at everything, but his iron fist is too strong. This new policy has caused a lot of trouble, and many people have lost their heads. Maybe he will cause some problems!"

"Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life. Our Marquis Ming, no, King Ming, also wants to live a peaceful life, but there are always people who don't want to. The policies of the New Deal are so good. Those gentry and wealthy families will not let go. He just wants to live a peaceful life. We want us mud legs to farm for them every day and be their tenants!"

"The rules have been in place for so many years. The sudden change, not to mention whether it is good or not, will surely make the world drip with blood!"

"No matter what, now that the Marquis of Ming is crowned king, and my southwest belongs to the Ming Kingdom, we are quite lucky!"

"I think so too. During the years when Marquis Ming entered my southwest, I won't say anything else. Back then, our family of five worked hard for a year. Whether it was a bumper harvest year or a natural disaster year, there was no food in the house for the winter. , but in the past few years, not only do we not have to worry about food for the winter, but we can also raise some food to exchange for cloth and the chill of the winter. We can eat enough and wear warm clothes. This is the best. I don’t read much. , What emperor, what orthodoxy, I don't recognize it, I only recognize it!"

"..."

There are many opinions, but not many can reach Mujing's ears. He is busy with one thing now, the establishment of the country.

Now that the king is crowned.

We will establish a country.

Building a country is not an easy task. The right time, place and people are indispensable.

Many things need to be arranged.

But there is one thing, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty is already a certainty. Of course, the vassal states are always the vassal states, and it is still the Ming Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty.

Just like the results of the previous year.

The vassal states belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
