The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 836 Chapter 835 World Center
Jin Yiwei immediately told about the fact that he was beaten in the market, but only concealed the fact that he almost ran into the child.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he was very indignant, and suddenly patted the table in front of him, with a loud "bang", the things on the table were shaken to pieces, and he said angrily, "What are you doing! A child of fifteen or sixteen can't beat him, but you are still my Jinyiwei, if every Jinyiwei is as incompetent as you, then I will have to drink the Northwest Wind from now on!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty has been in the Western Regions for a long time. I haven't returned to Beijing for many years. I don't know the person who beat me. Although the person is wearing a good suit, the accessories he wears are rare in the world. If it weren't for A rich family must also be a rich family, but there are too many rich and powerful people in the capital, maybe it is the young master of which family, if the subordinate sees that person again, the subordinate will definitely take a look at him. I recognized it!" Jin Yiwei said hastily.

Zhang Yan was angry, not because of his special relationship with this Jinyiwei, but because in broad daylight, in the capital, the Jinyiwei who only listened to his orders was actually beaten. There is no light on his face as an emperor!
At this moment, a high-pitched eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Report to Your Majesty, King Yan is begging to see you outside the palace!"

Before Zhang Yan became emperor, he was the king of Yan. After he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, all the titles conferred by the Han Dynasty were abolished except Liu Feng, the late Han emperor who abdicated to him, was conferred the title of Langya king.Half a year after Zhang Yan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, after Zhang Yan's careful consideration, and according to the contribution of the founding heroes, a series of titles were re-enacted.

The new dynasty pursued a system of separation of military and political power, so in terms of titles, it was also divided into two systems: Wen and Wu. Hou.Among them, only the title of king has a feudal state, and the eighth-level titles from Gong to Tinghou are all taxed and provided by the households in Shiyi, but cannot fully enjoy all the power of Shiyi. The number of households varies, completely eliminating the threat to the imperial court due to the gradual expansion of the feudal state from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and ensuring the imperial court's exercise and implementation of power over various places.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, there was only the king of Langya, and the other highest titles were the dukes conferred by the heroes of the founding of the country. That year, that is, last year, Zhang Yancai made the eldest son of the emperor, Zhang Han, a prince, and made Guangyang County in Youzhou directly into Zhang Han's feudal state, and Zhang Han became the King of Yan.

This is Zhang Yan's first title of prince in the ten years since the founding of the country, and his fief is in the country of Yan, which is the same as the title Zhang Yan got in his early years, so although many people don't talk about it, everyone understands it psychologically Therefore, Zhang Han, the eldest son of the emperor, must be the prince of the dynasty in the future.

Not long after the Spring Festival this year, Liu Feng, the late Han emperor who had become the king of Langya, died suddenly in his fiefdom of Langya. After Liu Feng's death, because he had no son to inherit, his fiefdom was abolished and restored to Langya County.In this way, there is still only one king in the whole country, and that is Zhang Han who was named the King of Yan.

Although the cause of Liu Feng's death has always been a mystery, the great man has been extinct for ten years. The death of a subjugated king is both inevitable and accidental, and it is just an understatement left in the history books.

As the only king in Dayan territory, the arrival of King Yan suddenly gave Zhang Yan, who was angry, a small surprise.As the emperor's son and the eldest son of the emperor, Zhang Han has placed too many high hopes on him, and Zhang Han himself is not that kind of mediocrity. He has shown his excellence since he was a child. He never forgets that the master who taught him martial arts is the current Zhen Guogong Zhao Yun. Zhang Han, who learned from Zhao Yun, left the palace when he was ten years old and followed Zhao Yun to the far north, living a military life on the border , This trip is five years.

During the five years, Zhang Han has never seen his father Zhang Yan. Zhang Han, who has been trained in the army, has become very calm and calm. Except for the slight childishness in his brows, which can tell his youth, everything else is perfect.

When Zhang Yan made Zhang Han king last year, Zhang Han was still fighting against the Xianbei people in the northern border. He, who had already become a general of Zhonglang through his military exploits, led a thousand cavalry, entered the camp of tens of thousands of Xianbei people, and cut off the Xianbei people. The head of the great chief seems to have entered the land of no one.

This battle made Zhang Han famous in the Northern Territory. It was not until Zhang Yan's imperial decree arrived that the whole army knew that their brave and invincible General Zhang was actually the eldest son of His Majesty today.

After being named Queen of Yan, Zhang Han left the military office where Lord Zhen Guo was located, and went to Yan State to take up his post, and he did not meet his father on the way.

Zhang Yan clearly remembered that he had been to the northern border when he was on tour the year before last, and met Zhang Han once in the military office of Lord Zhen Guo Zhao Yun. Since then, he has never seen this man whom he placed high hopes on son.Now that Zhang Han is here, Zhang Yan is naturally very excited, wishing to see his son immediately.

So Zhang Yan rushed outside and shouted, "Let King Yan come in!"

A moment later, Yan Wang Zhang Han walked in from outside the hall in a hurry. He was wearing a king's suit, a mangyu belt was tied around his waist, and a dragon-patterned jade pendant hung on the belt, which looked extremely noble.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhang Han knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhang Yan: "I will see my father, long live my father, long live my father!"

Zhang Yan walked over in a hurry, helped Zhang Han up himself, stared at Zhang Han's face with his eyes, and said for a long time: "I'm thinner and darker, but I'm stronger than last year. Jing, have you ever visited your mother?"

"I want to report to my father, I have just arrived in the capital, and I immediately came to see my father, and I haven't seen my mother yet!" Zhang Han replied.

Zhang Yandao: "Your mother thinks about you like crazy. Since you are back this time, you should stay in the capital for a longer time. You go to see your mother first, and then I will have a good chat with you when father is finished. !"

"Here! Royal father, my son will retire first!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Han walked out of the hall, while Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Han's back with affection, although he was reluctant, he was helpless.

Zhang Han came to Beijing this time because Zhang Yan summoned him. He has missed his elder son for a long time and wished he could have a chat with him. But right now he is busy with some government affairs and has no time to take care of him. Let his son see him first. Seeing the queen, it won't be too late to have a long talk with his son after he finishes his work at night.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Yan is heroic and gallant, quite the style of His Majesty back then..." The servant at the side saw Zhang Yan's eyes and said in a timely manner.

"Among my sons, he is the most like me, and I have high hopes for him..."

The servant followed the words and said: "In this case, why didn't your majesty make your highness the crown prince? Wouldn't it be better to confirm the crown prince as soon as possible?"

I thought Zhang Yan would be happy when he heard this, but who knew that Zhang Yan's face suddenly changed, he glared at the waiter fiercely, and said angrily: "If it wasn't for the fact that you have served me for many years, and you have worked hard without credit, then For what you said just now, I will be able to kill your nine clans!"

The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground, and while slapping himself on the mouth, he said, "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die. Please calm down your majesty and forgive this slave this time!"

"Remember! Food can be eaten indiscriminately, but nonsense can't be said! If you want to survive, the less you know and the less you talk, the better for you!" Zhang Yan said.

"Slave remembers!"

Ten years after the founding of Zhang Yan, there were twenty beauties in the harem. So far, he has thirteen sons and seven daughters, but after the founding of the country, he has not been able to set up a prince, although many ministers have proposed Such suggestions were all rejected by Zhang Yan, and he clearly told the court ministers that the matter about the crown prince would be announced within one month before his death. He is still in good health and there is no need to think about these matters. Moreover, the position of the prince is of great importance, he must carefully consider every son, and the capable ones will be selected.

Since then, no one in the court dared to discuss the establishment of a prince.But there are pros and cons to this.The advantage is that if there is no crown prince, each of Zhang Yan's sons may become the crown prince. If they are equal to the crown prince, they will redouble their efforts to express themselves. The downside is that in the later period, brothers may fight each other because of the competition for the position of crown prince.

But in Zhang Yan's view, he did not set up a crown prince, but he had only one purpose, which was to protect the crown prince candidate in his mind. Pulled off the horse, and even killed each other.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Yan did not dare to easily establish a prince, fearing that brothers would kill each other in the future.

Zhang Yan snorted coldly, waved his hand at the servant, and let him go down.He walked to the dragon chair, sat down on it, opened the secret letter presented by Jin Yiwei, glanced at it quickly, frowned, and hurriedly asked: "When did this happen?"

Jin Yiwei hastily replied: "A month ago!"

Zhang Yan couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing in front of the table, walking back and forth, but his thoughts flew thousands of miles away to the Western Regions.

The secret letter was sent by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The protector of the Western Regions at that time was Meiyang Hou Pound. According to Pound’s secret letter, King Ayub of Dawan died suddenly. Wan's prince, Ayub's son Asef succeeded to the throne.According to the agreement signed between Dayan and the countries of the Western Regions, the succession of the kings of the countries in the Western Regions must notify the Dayan Dynasty in advance, and they can only inherit the throne after being officially canonized by the emperor of the Dayan Dynasty.

In addition, the kings of Shule, Shache, Khotan, Wusun and other countries also died violently within a month, and the new king also did not report to Dayan, so he inherited it without authorization. the throne.

The succession of Dawan and other kings this time is tantamount to violating the agreement between Dayan and the countries of the Western Regions, and the Duhufu also found traces of cavalry from the Guishuang Empire in the Western Regions. In summary, Pound believes that Dawan When other countries may have been instigated by the Guishuang Empire, Pound sent troops from the Protectorate into the countries to find out what happened, but who knows, all the soldiers and horses sent never returned, and even the corpses could not be found. arrive.

Only then did Pang De feel the urgency of the situation, and thought that it was very likely that the soldiers and horses of the Guishuang Empire had penetrated into the Western Regions, and that the Dayan Dynasty's control over the Western Regions was also gradually decreasing, and suggested sending a large army into the Western Regions. While ensuring the integrity of the Dayan Dynasty, it can also respond when the Guishuang Empire makes decisions!

It has been ten years since Zhang Yan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. During these ten years, Dayan has been constantly recuperating. The population of Dayan is increasing every year, and Dayan's national strength is also gradually recovering. But Dayan The control over the Western Regions has become smaller and smaller. In addition, the Xianbei people in the northern border have also begun to rebel. Although each rebellion is from a weaker tribe, the population of the Xianbei people in the past ten years It has also increased a lot, but the area under its control is fixed. Large areas of water, fertilizer and grass are controlled by Dayan. Every time Xianbei people enter the country to graze, they must report in advance, and they must also accept Dayan's jurisdiction. Seriously hampered in action.

Coupled with the gradual passing of the older generation, the new generation of young people is full of vitality. As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the border has not fought for a long time. The younger generation of Xianbei people gradually forget the blows they received before. , Gradually became restless, so although there were constant frictions at the border, it did not cause much impact after all. After all, there was an army of 15 in the northern border, Zhao Yun, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Xianbei people did not dare to act for a while.

The main enemy of Dayan at present is the Guishuang Empire from the west. If the Guishuang Empire gets in touch with the Xianbei people in the northern border of Dayan through the Western Regions, and the two sides attack Dayan together, then Dayan has no time to attack Dayan, so he can only attack first. To deal with one of the enemies, and the continuous provocations of the Guishuang Empire in the Western Regions in the past few years, Zhang Yan couldn't bear it. At this time, as soon as Pang De's secret letter arrived, Zhang Yan had only one plan in his mind, and that was to prepare to let him sleep for ten years. The lion, once again radiates his former majesty!

Therefore, Zhang Yan summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Western Regions.After some intense discussions, the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs finally unanimously decided to send troops to the Western Regions to teach the arrogant Guishuang Empire a lesson.

In the end, as the founding king of the Yan Dynasty, Zhang Yan, who had been silent for ten years, resisted all opinions and prepared to go to the Western Regions with 20 soldiers. He planned to destroy Guishuang along the way while stabilizing the Western Regions. Empire, open the first gate to the west.

On the third day of May in the tenth year of Taiping Dayan, Emperor Zhang Yan of Dayan led an army of 20 to conquer the Western Regions. Zhang Yan assembled almost half of the elites in the court, and brought the eldest son Zhang Han and the second son of the emperor with him. Zhang Wu and the emperor's third son Zhang De set off together.

In July of the tenth year of Taiping Dayan, 20 Yan troops arrived in the Western Regions. The soldiers and horses of the Guishuang Empire in the country were forced out, and they hurriedly fought against the Yan army, but all ended in failure.

Dawan and other countries were severely punished by Emperor Zhang Yan of Dayan, who destroyed their country and moved all their royal families to the Central Plains.

One month later, the Guishuang Empire sent 30 troops to invade Dayan.Zhang Yan, the Emperor of Yan, personally led the Yan Army and the Guishuang Empire in a decisive battle at Congling.The Yan army won more with less and won the key victory in this decisive battle, and the Guishuang forces completely withdrew from the Western Regions.Zhang Yan did not give up, but took advantage of the victory to pursue, leading [-] elites to attack the Guishuang Empire along the way, and invaded the capital of the country to destroy it.

After the fall of the Guishuang Empire, the countries in the west were shocked, and those countries that had surrendered to the Guishuang Empire surrendered to Dayan one after another.

Zhang Yan's first Western Expedition ended and he returned to the imperial capital afterwards.

Five years later, Zhang Yan carried out the second western expedition, leading an army of 30 to conquer the countries in the Middle East along the way, and left troops stationed there, bringing his country into Dayan's territory.

After the second Western Expedition ended, Zhang Yan spent another ten years recuperating and prospering the country. In addition, he adopted the policy of "one country, two systems" and adopted different policies for governing the country in the occupied places, which won the support of the local people. Gradually gaining a firm foothold in the Middle East, Dayan was called the Dayan Empire.

In the 27th year of Taiping, the Roman Empire began to march eastward, and the countries located in the Iranian plateau and Turkey fled eastward one after another. The Dayan Empire provided shelter for them, and was hostile to the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire sent people to negotiate and persuade the Dayan Empire not to interfere. Regarding the affairs of the Roman Empire, the attitude was arrogant, and they ignored the Dayan Empire very much, so Zhang Yan, the emperor of the Dayan Empire, beheaded the envoy of the Roman Empire in a rage.

Afterwards, the Great Yan Empire decided to strike first, and dispatched a large army into the Middle East, with a total of 50 soldiers and horses. The Emperor Zhang Yan personally led the third Western Expedition in the name of defending the world. *** With the support of countries all over the world, a large alliance was formed with a force of more than 100 million. From east to west, under the command of Emperor Zhang Yan of the Dayan Empire, they defeated the armies of the Roman Empire one after another and recovered in one fell swoop* **Jerusalem, the Holy Land of the world.After that, the coalition forces further liberated a large area occupied by the Roman Empire, crossed the Mediterranean Sea, and reached the Holy See, forcing the Roman Empire to completely submit to the Dayan Empire.

In the 32nd year of Taiping of the Dayan Empire, the third Western Expedition that lasted five years ended with the surrender of the Roman Empire. The Dayan Empire has achieved the greatest achievement in world history and is famous all over the world.After the Roman Empire surrendered, Emperor Zhang Yan of the Dayan Empire decided to return home with a large amount of war indemnity from the Roman Empire. He passed through the liberated countries along the way, and received courtesy and a lot of gifts. These huge wealth added together, even It exceeded the taxes of the Dayan Empire for nearly ten years.Therefore, Zhang Yan's third western expedition not only did not consume domestic resources, but instead gained a lot of wealth and made a fortune in war.In addition, Zhang Yan also left the army to occupy mineral resources in various countries around the world, and signed an agreement with the local country. The Dayan Empire will be responsible for the mining, and the local labor force will be provided. The mined resources will be shared equally for mutual benefit.In this way, foreign resources continuously entered the Dayan Empire through the Silk Road, and the Silk Road entered an era of incomparable prosperity.

Zhang Yan returned to the imperial capital Luoyang in Taiping 33. He has made great achievements. He is already an emperor through the ages. Zhang Yan, who is already 63, is also tired of the position of emperor. He announced his abdication two years later and passed the emperor to the eldest son of the emperor. Zhang Han, and he left the imperial capital with his concubines, dressed up as an ordinary wealthy family, and toured the world.

After Zhang Han succeeded to the throne, he did not change any measures of Zhang Yan's era. The country operated normally and its national strength became stronger day by day. Twenty years later, Zhang Yan, 20, bid farewell to the world, and what he left behind was a huge empire.

20 years later, Zhang Han, the second monarch of the Great Yan Empire, passed away. When the third monarch ascended the throne, the empire had already reached incomparable prosperity. In order to be able to surpass his grandfather Zhang Yan, the third monarch started the colonial era , the fleet of the Dayan Empire spread all over the world, and discovered new continents such as America and Australia.

More than 200 years later, the descendants of the Yan Empire spread all over the world, and Asia became the center of the world due to the location of the Yan Dynasty...
