Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 331

Gao Jingzong's move was also helpless. From the point of view of cleaning up people's hearts, this was an inevitable result.Gao Jingzong did not establish a country, but was only a vassal king of the Jin Dynasty. However, the Xia Kingdom is different from the Liang Kingdom. The Liang Kingdom belongs to the Tiangao Emperor Yuan, and the Zhang family can dominate one side without claiming control.But Gao Jingzong was different. The Kingdom of Xia was directly bordered by the Eastern Jin court, and the court could clean it up as it wanted. Gao Jingzong really didn't have so much energy to intrigue with the bigwigs in the court.

With the title of the country and the official name system, it can be clearly stated with the Eastern Jin court whether it is hostile or a Congmeng alliance, but it occupies an absolute initiative.For example, the Liao, Xixia, Dali and Song dynasties are almost for this reason.

In terms of personal interests, who wouldn't want to have a share of the achievements of the dragon?In fact, in all dynasties, in the early days of the founding of the country, the combat effectiveness of the army was very powerful.Even the Song Dynasty, which was famous for being weak in history, destroyed Bashu, pacified the Southern Tang Dynasty, and swept the Northern Han Dynasty in the early days of the founding of the country.

It doesn't matter whether you can enter the Central Plains, but if you can hold the 22 counties of the three states, you can also let Xia Guo's civil and military officials enjoy the glory and wealth.

As the news of Gao Jingzong's preparation for the founding of the country gradually spread among the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom, the officers and officers of the First Division, who were fighting bloody battles with the Yan Kingdom as far away as Jizhou, jointly signed a letter to support Gao Jingzong's proclaiming the emperor.Immediately, the second, third, and fourth divisions entered the list one after another.

Zheng Shishi felt like she was dreaming, and she would hear some rumors about what happened in the court of Xia Kingdom.However, Gao Jingzong's action really caught her by surprise.

Although Gao Jingzong took in several concubines, Zheng Shishi's heart was moved by the position of his wife.Since Gao Jingzong wants to establish a state system, the position of queen will rise to the height of national interests, so the three courts, six divisions, and 24 Caos seem to be able to influence it. Zheng Shishi originally wanted to send someone to take care of it, but thought of Gao Jingzong's temper.Zheng Shishi still gave up on this move.

The 24 Cao Yamen of the Sixth Division of the Third Court, which had just been painted or even wet, began to be replaced with new plaques immediately.The three courts were changed to Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province respectively.The Six Divisions were also officially renamed as Li, Bing, Xing, Gong, Li, and Hubu, while 24 Cao was officially renamed as 24 Divisions.

As for the states and counties, Gao Jingzong made some changes according to the organizational system familiar to later generations.Xia Guo set up a five-level expropriation system of province, government, county, town, and fort.According to ten households, one Jia, ten Jia, one fort, and ten forts, one town.Several towns are a county, several counties are a prefecture, and several prefectures are a province.

The province is at the same level as the ministry, the department is at the same level as the government, and the directors of each department are at the same level as the county.The town is an official of the eighth rank, and the fort is an official of the ninth rank.

Of course, preparing for the founding of the country is not something that can be said and built in just one or two sentences.Although the area of ​​Liangjun County Government Yamen is considered small, with a full area of ​​more than 20 mu, it is too shabby for a country's imperial palace.

For this reason, the Zhongshu ordered Cui Yao to propose to Gao Jingzong: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry should overhaul the palace. Otherwise, there is nothing majestic enough to show the majesty of the Xia Kingdom's royal family..."

Before Cui Yao finished speaking, Gao Jingzong interrupted: "There is no need to mention this matter again!"

Cui Yao was puzzled, Yang Shi and Ji Kan wanted to persuade him again.

Gao Jingzong said: "The places where the capital can be established, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yecheng and Beiping should be the last. How can our Xia Kingdom establish its capital in Sui County? From then on, Liang County was renamed Yingtian Mansion and existed as an accompanying capital. When the army takes over Luoyang, our country of Xia will move its capital to Luoyang!"

On the tenth day of April, Gao Jingzong officially held the founding ceremony. This founding ceremony was not the traditional "representing the emperor and telling the earth" but worshiping the two emperors Yan and Huang.The emperors of the past dynasties talked to themselves, and it was obvious that the world was dominated by fists, or the throne was usurped by deceiving orphans and widows.Gao Jingzong set a precedent.Worship to Emperor Yan and Huang.

Due to the tight schedule, it was too late to carve the stone statues of Emperor Yan and Huang, and it was also too late to cast bronze statues.Gao Jingzong took a step back and ordered craftsmen to carve wooden statues.After more than 100 skilled craftsmen worked hard day and night for more than ten days, it was finally completed.

The statue of Emperor Yan and Huang can be said to be a reduced version of the statue used by Gao Jingzong in later generations. It is seven feet six inches high, and the base is carved with wood to make the mountain and the people one. , to embody the artistic effect of symbiosis with the earth, being with the mountains and rivers, and shining with the sun and the moon, majestic, vigorous and broad.The Yellow Emperor is a great man with great talent and great foresight. He was the first great statesman and military strategist to unify China. Emperor Yan is the god of agriculture in China. A wide amount of simplicity, wisdom and kindness, they tolerate the lofty qualities of the Chinese nation, and embody the grand spirit of perseverance, diligence, bravery and pioneering progress.

Gao Jingzong changed to a black dragon robe as an exception, while the civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom were all lined up below, and everyone else wore a full set of official uniforms, official boots, Jinxian crowns, and e-crown belts, which are quite dignified in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Wait for the shift to be scheduled.Zan Lisheng shouted: "Play the music!" The drums on both sides played together, the zither and the orchestra, the sheng and Xiao Zhongqing, and the solemn voice of Huang Zhong Da Lu.

Greeting the gods, sharing offerings, raising incense, offering wine, jade, silk, millet, and delicacies.Play the chapter of virtue, dance with the appearance of virtue, kowtow three times and worship nine times.

The Chinese people value their own ancestors the most. Emperor Yan and Huang are the first ancestors of China, and they are the ancestors of the old ancestors.If time permits, Gao Jingzong really wants to restore the [-] statues of Emperor Yan and Huang in later generations, but it is a pity that there is no time at all.

After paying homage to the statues of Emperor Yan and Huang, Gao Jingzong took Xia Guo civil and military officials out of Sui County, heading towards the pine forest on the other side of Xia Guo University.I don't know when this pine forest was planted. It covers an area of ​​about five or six hundred mu.The area is not large, but it looks very solemn.

Gao Jingzong designated this pine forest garden as Xia Guozhong Martyr's Shrine.

Veterans are not afraid of death, veterans are afraid of being forgotten.Chinese people believe that there is a soul after death. In troubled times, death is not terrible. Parents, wives and daughters have something to support and have nothing to worry about. , not getting cigarettes for offspring, not getting blood from family members.

Martyrs' Shrine is the resting place of heroic spirits.Gao Jingzong decided to cremate every sacrificed soldier and bring the ashes back to the family for burial in the grave. Two memorial tablets are made, one is placed at home to receive incense from descendants, and the other is placed in the martyr's shrine for eternal immortality.However, since the sacrifice of Huaishui, the number of soldiers killed by the Xia army has reached tens of thousands, and it is impossible for them all to be buried here.However, Gao Jingzong asked people to engrave the names of the soldiers who had sacrificed since becoming an army by the Huaishui River on the tablets and enshrine them in the Martyrs' Shrine.
