In March of the third year of Guangde, Deng Changxiong led the Second Corps to conquer Xi'an, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and southern Shaanxi. They were all pacified, and the entire territory of Shaanxi belonged to Daqi.
The good news spread back to Nanjing, and the army and the people were excited.
On the twelfth day of March, the Supreme Emperor, together with the Queen Mothers of the two palaces, and hundreds of civil and military officials worshiped the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Liu Zhaosun knelt down and worshiped in front of the Ancestral Temple, telling his parents who had been dead for many years and his adoptive father Liu Wei that he would regain Shaanxi and unify the northwest.
On March 16, the Supreme Emperor issued an edict in the name of Emperor Guangde, conferring Deng Changxiong the title of Prince Tutor, and appointed him as the general manager of Gansu and Shaanxi. Together with the censor Zhao Yanguo and the chief instructor of the Second Corps, he controlled the military and political power of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.
Deng Changxiong's first wife, Zhou, was granted the title of second-grade imperial concubine, and Deng Changxiong's two sons also had the title of imperial concubine.
The officers and trainers of each battalion of the Second Corps are all rewarded, and soldiers are judged based on their performance on the battlefield, so there is no need to go into details.
The Mongolian cavalry responsible for the 2nd Corps, which covers the 12th Corps attacking Xi'an, is also rewarded.
The Supreme Emperor rewarded these Mongols with several pieces of grassland near Lake Baiga that had just been incorporated into the empire.
Mongolians knelt down to worship the Immortal God, knelt down to worship the Heavenly Khan, and knelt down to thank Emperor Guangde.
The war in Shaanxi has come to an end. The officers and soldiers have been rewarded for their merits, and the army has rested and reorganized. No need to elaborate.
Civil affairs officials from various parts of Liaodong were transferred to Shaanxi to participate in restoration and reconstruction.
Since the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the whole province of Shaanxi has experienced floods, droughts, locusts, rats, wars, and banditry. Although it is not that ten houses are empty, there is no doubt that the population has been lost and the fields have been desolate.
After more than ten years of rule by the Daxi Kingdom, the economy of the Three Qin Lands has become even more depressed, and land annexation has become more serious...
All these require drastic reforms.
The socio-economic ecology of Shaanxi is different from other provinces.
The turmoil continued for many years, and most of the wealthy gentry and aristocratic families were wiped out.
The new nobles of the Daxi Kingdom are like trees without roots and water without a source. Compared with those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, these people are much easier to deal with.
In the original history, a large part of the reason why Sun Chuanting was able to succeed in Qingtian (Army), Shaanxi and basically realize the self-sufficiency of the Qin army was due to the unique political ecology of Shaanxi.
Historically, Sun Chuanting was in trouble in Shaanxi. Once he left Tongguan, he was defeated again and again, and his body and country were destroyed.
The reason, in addition to military issues, is that other provinces do not have the political ecology of Shaanxi.
To put it more bluntly, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi's original gentry ruling system was on the verge of collapse due to the combined attacks of natural disasters, bandits, and bandits. Only in Shaanxi could Sun Chuanting integrate resources and train the new army (this was in a certain period of time). within the period).
For the conservative kings (such as the God of War of Meishan), Shaanxi is a nightmare.
For gamblers and adventurers like Liu Zhaosun, this is the perfect country.
Here, the empire could try to implement a more radical policy than the "Qi Dynasty Land Acquisition System", which is what later generations called special economic zones...
~~~~
In March of the third year of Guangde, Shaanxi was in ruins and needed to be renovated, and the new land system needed to be promoted;
New schools and new workshops need to be built, new urban planning...
All the important responsibilities fell on the civil affairs officials.
To be precise, it fell on Xie Guangkun.
Xie Yang is now not only the chief official of civil affairs, but also the Minister of Household Affairs of Qi Dynasty (formerly Qiao Yiqi). He is now the busiest person except the Supreme Emperor Guangde.
In the first month, I went to Taicang to clear the fields, in February, I went to Suzhou to inspect taxes, and in March, I went to Yangzhou to help clear the Cao army. I have been busy until now before returning to Beijing.
"Thank you, Minister. Great Qi is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. The burden on you is still very heavy."
March 18, Wenhua Hall, Forbidden City, Nanjing.
The Supreme Emperor looked at Xie Guangkun's wig, which covered his head, and said worriedly.
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. I am in good spirits. I can eat two bowls of rice in one meal, and I can continue to contribute my small amount to Your Majesty."
It may be that the previous trip to the Zhenfu Division left a deep impression on the Civil Affairs Officer. Even though it has been many years, every time Xie Guangkun has a nightmare, he will dream of being tied to a tiger bench and being forced to question Yijia by a coir raincoat guard. One is equal to how many. Over the years, Xie Yang's loyalty to the Supreme Emperor and his loyalty to the empire have become a trait flowing in his blood.
"People who are forty or fifty years old still need to take care of themselves. There are fewer and fewer old people around me."
As Liu Zhaosun spoke, tears flowed out again.
Xie Yang didn't believe in the Emperor's tears. Every time the Emperor sheds tears, someone would die.
This is a bad sign.
"Shaanxi affairs are complicated and we need someone to take the lead. Deng Changxiong is called Gan-Shaan Jinglue. As you know, he knows nothing about civil affairs. I am not satisfied with the other people. After thinking about it..."
His eyes fell on Xie Guangkun.
"I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty, but it is difficult to support a tree alone. At present, acres are being measured everywhere, and people are also needed in Yangzhou. There are simply not enough civil affairs personnel..."
The Supreme Emperor interrupted: "You make a list, and I will let you choose someone."
Xie Yang had no choice but to rush to Xi'an.
After Liu Yuer's death, the Civil Affairs Chief lost an arm and could not find a suitable adjutant.
In the past two years, Xie Yang has grown older and Daqi has expanded at a faster pace, making him feel more and more out of his depth.
Arriving in Xi'an in early April, and in mid-May, we found out the current population and acres of land in Shaanxi.
There are a total of more than 3.8 million people in the six prefectures and thirty-seven prefectures and counties, with more than 8 million acres of land, of which less than 2 million acres are cultivable.
The situation is not optimistic.
No matter what, with the land of Sanqin, the empire's territory will further expand to the northwest.
The northwest territory of Da Qi will soon collide with the equally prosperous Geerdan tribe (the Geerdan Khanate has not yet been established).
Liu Zhaosun was very interested in this enemy he had never fought against.
The reason why they are called enemies is because according to the logic of the Supreme Emperor, everyone who blocks the advancement of the empire is an enemy.
Historically, the Geerdan tribe first united with the Hou Jin Dynasty, and then began to grow as it became more mature. Finally, during the Geerdan period, it raised troops to conquer the south, almost allowing Kang Mazi to meet his father, Shunzhi Mazi, in advance.
Historically, the empire ruled by Ge Erdan was a veritable big country, and it once had the ability to dominate the world.
If instead of encountering several perverted emperors in the early Qing Dynasty, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to imagine what would have happened.
After Liu Zhaosun traveled through time, Houjin was offline early, and the Mongolian Horqin tribe was also conquered by Daqi. Liu Zhaosun still doesn't know what Galdan's development in this plane will be like now.
The Imperial Intelligence Network is temporarily unable to penetrate into the vast area north of Gansu.
The intelligence power in the northwest needs to be strengthened urgently.
Liu Zhaosun plans to add raincoat guards in this area. In the future, the northwest will also be Daqi.
One thing is certain, neither Ge Erdan nor Ge Sandan can stop Liu Zhaosun's ambition to conquer Eurasia.

Now that Shaanxi was at peace, Sichuan was next. Liu Zhaosun ordered Deng Changxiong to first pacify the gangsters in Gansu and relieve the army from future troubles, and then flanked Qin Jianxun on both sides of the northeast to capture Sichuan in one fell swoop.
The existing strength of the Second Corps and the Fourth Corps is not enough for the time being. It is expected that the expedition to Shu will require an army of 100,000, and the two major corps must be allowed to continue to expand.
Deng Changxiong continued to quell the rebellion in Gansu, and Qin Jianxun advanced to Badong.
"I wonder how Emperor Guangde is doing in Yangzhou?"
Pei Dahu comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Pu Gang is a veteran of the war. With him and Eunuch Dongfang helping him, Emperor Guangde will have no worries."
Liu Zhaosun frowned and sighed:
"Use a tiger to fight a rabbit. If you strike with all your strength, you will be successful. Besides, these million-dollar water workers are not just white rabbits."
Pei Dahu was silent.
"Send more five tigers to Yangzhou to reinforce Liu Kan. Abolition of water transportation and implementation of sea transportation is related to our great Qi for generations to come. There must be no mistakes!"
