Zhenlongting

Chapter 181

Jian'an five years, spring.

March 21, sunny, auspicious day.

Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple and prayed to the heavens. He claimed that his talents were poor and his morals were poor.

At that time, thunder shook the sky, the sky was full of colorful lights, there were fairy sounds, and a hundred birds came to congratulate.

After three resignations and three abdications, Zhang Kun had no choice but to go up to the stage to accept the abdication, read the book of Wanmin, and promised to treat all living beings, Li Shu, and herdsmen on behalf of the sky.

"The fate of heaven is not constant, but there is virtue in return. Congratulations to the Son of Heaven."

Zhang Zhao kowtowed first.

The rest of the civil servants and military generals suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed down: "My emperor is forever!"

Since then, the name of the country was changed to "Qian", the name of the year was changed to Yuancheng, and the fifth year of Jian'an was changed to the first year of Yuancheng, taking the true meaning of "Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives constantly for self-improvement".

Since then, it has been regarded as a unilateral change of dynasty.

All the officials in the court, the top and the bottom, are all beaming.

Only Liu Xie, with a stiff face, led a few palace officials, stood aside and said bitterly: "The calendar of heaven is in your hands, and you are allowed to stick to it. The world is poor, and Tianlu will never end..."

The general idea is that you have to treat this country well, these people, and keep going on the right path.If the people are poor and the world is in chaos, the goodness that God has given you will end here.

Zhang Kun nodded in approval, Li Cheng.

Next, the imperial court will set up six ministries, select officials, and amnesty the world, and call Yang, Xu, Yu, Yanzhou and other places to exempt from tax for three years and give the people a rest.

At the same time, the call-to-action document enumerates the top ten crimes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, ordering them to come to Xudu to face the saint within one month, otherwise, they will send troops to conscript and destroy their families.

It is worth mentioning that the call to action was written by the great Confucian Kong Rong...

After losing his official position, he went to work in Xudu. Although he was very talkative and easy to talk about, he was still very good at things like etiquette, culture and education.

Zhang Kun handed the Ministry of Rites into his hands, which is considered to be a good use of others.

Zhang Zhao and Kong Rong jointly took care of the first appointment, including this Confucian Confucian who personally held the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and it was really well done.

Apart from the fact that Xu Du's abdication ceremony was in full swing, Lv Bu had already got the news, gathered Gao Shun's army, marched northward from Xuzhou, and defeated Yanzhou almost without receiving any decent resistance.

It can be regarded as a fierce breath.

Since then, the four prefectures of Xu, Yang, and Yanyu have been connected together, and Zhang Kun has already occupied a vast land. At the same time, he mobilized his troops, selected [-] elite cavalry and [-] elites, and called all generals to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty, is it too little to send 15 troops? Now Cao Mengde has [-] troops, while Yuan Shao has more, a total of more than [-] cavalry..."

In his position and seeking his own government, if Xun Wen surrendered, he would naturally go all the way to the dark side, so he was a little worried at this time.

Although I have seen Zhang Kun's elite cavalry be unstoppable, but with so few manpower, even if the battle is won, it will be difficult to take down the defeated army afterwards, not to mention fighting all the way through, large cities need to be guarded.

Just sending [-] troops to conquer the four states and countless counties and counties, it is easy to surrender and rebel, turning the northern Central Plains into a mess.

Guo Fengxiao shook his head with a smile on the other hand: "Wen Ruo, you are worrying for nothing this time. Your Majesty only sends elite soldiers and does not fight a big battle. Obviously, he only wants to win quickly. As for controlling the place, it is actually not difficult at all... as long as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is defeated, the dragons have no leader, and the cities in various places can be settled on paper, so there is no need to fight everywhere and laboriously recruit surrender."

Therefore, Guo Jiaqiang is strong in being able to figure out people's hearts and see the overall situation clearly.

Xun Wenruo, on the other hand, was calm and prudent, managing internal affairs.

Both sides have their own strengths.

As for how to fight this battle, Zhang Kun actually already has a secret case.

He has cultivated an invincible army in his hands, and he is invincible in both vertical and horizontal directions. At this time, he will set up a battle with others and use tricks and tricks.

The best course of action, of course, is to go up.

No matter how the opponent's army is placed or how clever the strategy is, I just push and crush Huanglong all the way, no matter what kind of strategy is useless.

No matter how strong the art of war is, it is only useful when it is evenly matched.

If it is true that the two armies are facing each other, and one side is completely vulnerable, as long as they make contact, they will be defeated like a mountain, so is there any need to worry about it?

So, he was waiting, waiting for the reactions of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Also waiting for the response of the princes of the world.

However, the world has been in chaos for a long time.

Those people are all bigwigs, and they are used to monopolizing power and dominating the day. If you want them to submit to your own independent court, it must be hopeless.

This is exactly what Zhang Kun expected.

If Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others really put down their face and surrendered, it would be difficult for him to be accommodated, and it is always inappropriate to give a low official position.

Just like Liu Xie after the abdication.

He used to pretend to be an emperor, and if you give a prince out, it's a slap in the face.

Not to mention Liu Xie himself, but those remaining officials of the Han Dynasty are also shameless.

Therefore, in order to show generosity, Zhang Kun still gave a throne.

No matter how King An Le is, he is also the throne, and he needs to be treated...

Fortunately, the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not have much strength himself, and he did not need to seal the territory. He just enjoyed the blessings in the court, his status was noble, and he had no real power.

This is also the true meaning of "Anle".

The name Xun Wenruo proposed at the beginning actually has a deep meaning.

Just live in peace, don't worry about other things in the future, and it's better to let go of some small thoughts, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.

There is also "Xiaoyao" with the same title as "An Le", but if this title is granted, even the most stupid courtiers will know that this is an idle prince, and he will not seek refuge in his sect to seek his own death.

However, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are different. Even if a boss of this level has surrendered, if you don’t give him a state to appease him, everyone in the world will poke his spine, thinking that the new emperor Chen Yuan is really mean and ungrateful, not like a master.

Therefore, Zhang Kun set a time limit, prepared to rectify the affairs of the states under his jurisdiction, enfeoffed officials, and guarded the land separately. Moreover, he selected elite soldiers and horses and selected the generals of the Northern Expedition to give them this buffer time.

Give them a chance to concentrate their forces and fight a decisive battle with themselves.

The new dynasty has just been established, and most people in the world will not recognize it.

Most of them sneered in their hearts, thinking that Zhang Kun was another Yuan Shu, and even worse than Yuan Shu.

Although his territory is larger and his strength is stronger, the common people and the gentry don't care about so much, they always judge their status by their family background.

Yuan Shu was born in the family of the fourth generation and the third prince. Although everyone shouted and beat him for being the emperor, few people thought that he was not qualified to be the emperor. They just felt that this guy was too impatient.

As for Zhang Kun, his proclaiming himself emperor is short of directly writing rebellion on his face. Even if there is a reason for abdication, anyone with a discerning eye will understand that the so-called abdication, no matter what era it is, is actually another way to "force the palace". A statement that proves nothing.

It is natural for people to be dissatisfied.

"This battle is inevitable, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will not surrender, they are reluctant to part with the power in their hands, and we also need this battle... The establishment of a new dynasty, how can we not see blood, and lay the foundation without numerous corpses? Came here to stabilize the court?"

When Guo Jia said this, everyone fell into deep thought and agreed in their hearts.

After all, there is a fight, if you don't win the princes of the world, this court, this emperor, it's a joke.

……

April nineteenth.

Zhang Kun led [-] cavalry and [-] foot soldiers, and led his troops to the north. With Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Gao Shun, and Xu Chu as generals, he went straight to Hebei.

On May 5th, Zhang Kun crossed the river, led three thousand dragons to ride, destroyed the main force of Cao's army all the way, and captured Cao Cao alive.

Those who do not surrender will be killed.

As for Cao Mengde himself, Zhang Kun also has to admit that this man is a capable minister and a hero in troubled times...

However, the opponent's prestige is too high, and there are too many loyal subordinates, it is really impossible to keep it.

Therefore, Cao Cao was beheaded before Wanjun, and spread to all directions, so Cao Jun was determined.

After reorganizing the army and horses and resting in place for three days, Zhang Kun gathered ten thousand cavalry and went straight to Yecheng.

On the road, Wen Chou and Yan Liang met, with a single knife and the head of the owl, breaking the cavalry, and the army approached the city.

After persuading him to surrender three times, he attacked the city that day, destroyed Yuan's family, cut off Yuan Shao's head, and surrendered everywhere.

Yuan Shao deserved to be deeply loved by the gentry, even if he was defeated and captured, there were still dozens of civil servants and generals following him.

This time, Zhang Kun didn't show mercy any more. Anyone who resisted in his heart and didn't want to submit would directly ransack his home and behead him.

On May 28, the front of the army swept across the four counties, and the north was Nai'an.

Lu Bu was sent to guard Youzhou to prevent Wuhuan and other foreign tribes from invading.
On June 21, Zhang Kun broke Xiangyang, and Liu Biao's mansion vowed not to surrender.

As a result, Liu Jiayi in Jingzhou was destroyed, and all supporters ransacked their homes. Ten days later, Yizhou surrendered, Zhang Kun moved Liu Zhang and his son out of Sichuan, and sent officials to work to appease Shu.

Just as Guo Jia expected, the world will be leveled in March, and the princes who have fought so hard in the past will either die or surrender.

What Zhang Kun Bing pointed at was a dark yellow.

The fight made the world lose its voice, and even the high-talking scholars began to learn to be cautious in their words and deeds, to keep themselves safe, and dare not have a word of criticism against the emperor.

On August [-]th, the people and the moon are reunited.

Zhang Kun ordered the capital to be moved to Chang'an, the six ministries to be enriched, counties to be re-divided, prefectural pastors to be abolished, and a list to be recruited to recruit scholars to teach literacy in every prefecture, county, county, and village, and promote the prestige of great officials...

Especially to promote how wise and powerful the Emperor Dagan is, how he led the people to prosperity and strength...

Why teach literacy?

the reason is simple.

Zhang Kun found that he had pacified the world and benefited the people so much, but the increase in dragon energy was not satisfactory.

I thought that after the world was pacified, six more departments would be established, divided into prefectures and counties, and the prestige would spread to the countryside.

The results of it?
The dragon energy he got, added up, is only more than 380 points.

It's not too rare, but compared to the achievement of unifying the world, it's a little pitifully rare.

The only explanation is that his prestige has not penetrated into the hearts of the Li people. In the hearts of those people, even who is the emperor may not know.

Even if they are well-informed, they just think that the emperor is so powerful, can the emperor give us enough to eat?Then, she turned her head and asked again, who is the emperor?
Well, I don't know the words, and no one intends to teach, how can this dragon energy be gathered.

Therefore, Zhang Kun had to put education at the forefront.

For this reason, at the court meeting, there was still a lot of competition.

Among the ten, eight or nine disagreed with this approach.

Even Xun Wenruo felt that this approach was a bit urgent...

Therefore, Zhang Kun sacrificed the imperial examination system, and appointed officials with Jingyi policy questioning and clear calculation economic assessment, and the world began to boil... Then, the land equalization system was promulgated to restrict land sales... In one month, there were seven rebels , It's like beacons everywhere.

In the next half a year, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong dispatched troops, leading three thousand dragon cavalry and three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to directly wipe out eighteen anti-kings, causing blood to flow. The world fell silent, and the voice of opposition faded down.

The imperial examination system, the land equalization system, and ideological education classes starting from young children are all implemented.

The whole country is exempted from taxation for three years. This is good governance. Of course, no one said much.
There is nothing to say about the large farms and land reclamation. Enriching the treasury, using troops abroad, and subduing the barbarians are all Zhang Kungang's arbitrary decisions...

Only the matters of culture, education and the selection of officials have some obstacles, so there is no rush.

However, the arm is still unable to twist the thigh, and the aristocratic family cannot fight a bloody knife after all.

After some open and secret struggles, it only took three years for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to go from not accepting it at the beginning to fully implementing it later.

As a result, the world is settled.

……

Yuancheng three years.

The world will have a good harvest and the people will be happy.

Looking at the memorial presented on the table, Zhang Kun felt comforted in his heart.

After re-measuring the land and checking the population, he found that the total population of Dagan is now 5000 million people, and it is still growing by millions of people every year.

Thinking of the original trajectory, after the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, there were only 700 million people left in the world...

Zhang Kun sighed for a while.

After he pacified the world, because of his extremely fast speed, he retained his vitality, which is regarded as a great merit.

Only three years later, it seems that the world was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the famine and chaos of changing sons and eating, like a dream, never seemed to have happened.

The world has regained peace, a scene of prosperity.

Lu Bu had already led his troops to the depths of the grassland, earning him a reputation as a butcher.

Huang Zhong also conquered the land of the southern barbarians, turning the barren hills into fertile fields.

Langya in the East China Sea has already built the first large ship, ready to go to sea for sea trials...

The dragon energy is like a trickle returning to the sea, gathering bit by bit.

"Your Majesty, I am very happy. Empress Lu and Da Qiao are giving birth at the same time. The imperial doctor said that within one hour and three quarters, a dragon son will be born."

When the eunuch Xiao Guizi's sharp voice came, he didn't feel harsh at all.

Zhang Kun was overjoyed.

"Sign up, go to Kunhe Palace..."

He has worked hard for several years, and sometimes even suspects that because of his soul and blood, he came from outside the sky and has reproductive isolation.

Unexpectedly, there was no movement in the first two years, and in the third year, people won the bid one after another.

Now, apart from Da Qiao and Lu Lingqi who are about to give birth, Xiao Qiao and Zhang Guiren are also getting bigger... Even Sun Guiren has started to learn female celebrities and dance, and is going to officially serve her bed in the spring of next year.

"This evil old society is really comfortable."

Zhang Kun drove away with a smile on his face and looked at the harem.

After a moment of coolness in the mind, I saw the golden starlight in the sky, falling like dewdrops, and another group of dragons roared towards the sky.

"It's not easy to break through again."

Zhang Kun sighed.

……

Ask for a monthly pass.
