Kunming, Wuhua Mountain.
Li Dingguo, King of the Dashun Jin Dynasty, had kowtowed in front of the coffin of Shun Taizong Li Guo, burned incense, and burned paper money. He was now sitting in the Chui Gong Hall to discuss politics.
Today's Dashun still has a power structure where the emperor hangs the throne, the prince oversees the army, and the eight kings discuss politics - all thanks to the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Cixiang! If the Ming Dynasty, ruled by Zhu Cihong, hadn't been watching with eager eyes, these people would have become angry long ago.
But now, the eight princes, the prince and the emperor all have something to say to each other. Even if there is a fight between the south and the north, even the factions of Dashun and Daxi do not dare to fight with each other... ..
Li Dingguo had also understood the situation and no longer opposed the southward advance. Instead, he, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi proposed a plan to advance westward to Uzbekistan to replace the original Northern Expedition.
Although Sun Kewang, the leader of the Daxi faction, did not express his position, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi all agreed, and Sun Kewang's intention was clear.
Li Laiheng, wearing sackcloth and mourning, sat on the dragon chair with a sad look on his face. He listened to Li Dingguo talking about the Daxi Sect's strategy of going west, but what he was thinking about was grabbing land and entering Tianzhu - the Daxi Sect's intention to go west to the plateau was probably to grab a piece of it. It's your own territory!
At present, the three military governors of Awa, Shalian and Arakan in Myanmar are all under the control of the Dashun faction, and they are all the confidants of Li Laiheng and Li Jicheng. Among them, Awa Jiedushi was Gao Yigong, Shalian Jiedushi was Song Yaowen, and Arakan Jiedushi was Luo Ke. Coupled with Gao Yidao, who was stationed in Tianzhu, he basically monopolized the line from Myanmar to the east coast of Tianzhu.
Therefore, the Dashun Dynasty's southward strategy was actually to grab territory for Li Laiheng and Li Jicheng's father and son...
Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, and Liu Fangliang, the four princes of Dashun faction, also knew it well. However, they were old ministers who had followed Li Zicheng to conquer the world, and they had made great achievements in supporting Li Guo and Li Laiheng. They were not worried about not being able to share the benefits of the southern advance, so they all supported the southern advance.
Among the four kings of the Daxi faction, only Li Dingguo had several manors in Ava, Myanmar - these manors were not included in Li Dingguo's 80,000 stones, but were obtained from his southern expedition to Myanmar. The remaining three kings did not have any manors in Myanmar. Instead, they owned many farms in western Sichuan and western Yunnan. Moreover, most of the Fubing military households placed on the Chengdu Plain close to the Western Sichuan Highlands and Uzang were originally deployed by the Great Western Army.
All those who can benefit greatly from the battle on the west plateau are undoubtedly the four kings of the Daxi faction.
And Uzang is actually close to Tianzhu... If the four kings of Daxi can capture the territory of Uzang, they can also invade Tianzhu and make a fortune!
At this time, Li Dingguo had finished speaking. The eight princes who discussed politics, the Prince of Fujun and other ministers in the hall were all looking at Li Laiheng, the humble king, waiting for him to ask questions - in accordance with the "ancestral system" of discussing politics in the Dashun Dynasty. , Li Laiheng should next ask the kings for their opinions, and then ask the prince Fujun for his opinions. If the kings and the prince are in agreement, he, the crown prince, should nod and obey.
But this "ancestral system" is not very good, and Emperor Taizu Gao didn't have this rule at that time. It needs to be changed... Now is not the time when the late emperor was in court.
Now, Emperor Dashun is rich. He just spent 8 million taels of silver to win people's hearts...now he has to see if he can buy it?
After making up his mind, Li Laiheng said calmly: "The strategy of heading west is exactly what I want!"
What?
Just what I want?
Shouldn't you just take it easy?
All the eight kings in Chuigong Palace were stunned!
Li Jicheng was the first to react, stood up and shouted: "Father, the Holy Ming!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the civil and military officials in the Chui Gong Hall also shouted that they had just received money from Li Laiheng and Li Jicheng, and had sent their sons and nephews to join the second wave of robbery groups. Of course, they had to give some face to Li Laiheng and Li Jicheng.
"His Majesty the Holy Ming... cough cough cough!"
The person who coughed and called Shengming was Mr. Liu Zongmin, the King of Han Dynasty. He didn’t know whether His Majesty was holy or not, but the Crown Prince (Li Jicheng) was very wise. The orchid given to him was really passionate, and she was also good at singing and dancing. The most important thing is that you can still have children!
All the wives and concubines in Prince Liu Zongmin’s palace had not given birth to a baby for eight years. This Orchid was already pregnant within two months of her arrival!
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang and other three kings also stood up and saluted.
Sun Kewang also stood up, bowed to Li Laiheng, and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Laiheng smiled and nodded at Sun Kewang, saying: "Old Taishan, there is no need to salute, please sit down quickly!"
Sun Kewang's daughter married Li Laiheng and was the father-in-law of Dashun, so she was considered one of Li Laiheng's own.
As soon as he expressed his position, the three kings Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi could not hold on any longer, so they had to stand up and salute Li Laiheng and shout "Your Majesty, Holy Ming".
In this way, the unreasonable Eight Kings discussion was finally eliminated by Li Laiheng!
It seems that his 8 million taels were well spent!
"Going west to the plateau and south to Tianzhu can be carried out at the same time!" Li Laiheng then started the "Sacred Heart Dictatorship", "However, the Zhu family's thieves who harmed the people are not just ordinary people. Zhu Cixiang is stationed in Wuhan, claiming to be the emperor's personal convoy, and does not know how to discuss politics. What good advice do the kings have?"
"Your Majesty!" Liu Wenxiu answered the question, "I have a plan to defeat the red thief's personal conquest."
"Oh? What's the plan?"
"This is a plan to attack the east and attack the west!"
"How to attack the east and attack the west?" Li Laiheng asked.
"Of course, the imperial commander's personal expedition will be against the imperial commander's personal expedition!" Liu Wenxiu said, "Your Majesty can follow the example of the late emperor's eastern expedition and go out to Yong'an to confront the red thieves."
"Out of Yong'an?" Li Laiheng frowned slightly.
To be honest, he doesn't want to leave Kunming!
Now Kunming seems to be the center of the Dashun Dynasty, and Chongqing's status has dropped drastically. How can he leave this most benign place and go to Yong'an?
Moreover, Prince Li Jicheng also wants to go south to Tianzhu. He is leaving Kunming for Yong'an. So isn't Kunming empty?
If anything changes, Dashun will be overturned...
"Father does not have to go out in person!" Li Jicheng knew his father's thoughts and immediately suggested, "A political king can go out on behalf of father, and it will be said to the outside world that he is the emperor's personal convoy."
"This..." Li Laiheng's eyes swept over the eight political kings. Li Dingguo will be responsible for the northern front, Ai Nengqi will be responsible for the westward march, Liu Wenxiu will be in charge of the center, Sun Kewang will be responsible for the government, and Liu Zongmin is not in good health. Okay, only Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu can go out.
Tian Jianxiu stood up on his own initiative at this time: "Your Majesty, please take a trip to Yong'an!"
"Okay," Li Laiheng said with a smile, "When Emperor Taizu was still alive, he relied heavily on King Sui. When King Sui goes on an expedition, I feel relieved."
At this time, Grand Military Advisor Song Xiance came out of the classroom and said, "Your Majesty, I have another plan."
Although he was a great military advisor, he was not proficient in military strategy, so he was gradually marginalized after Li Guo came to power - Li Guo trusted Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu more.
Now that the new owner has taken the throne, the rules seem to have changed a bit... You have to hurry up!
"What's the great military adviser's plan?" Li Laiheng asked.
"I suggest that the new title should use the four characters 'Dong Ping Da Xing', which means that His Majesty won a great victory in the Eastern Expedition and pacified the southeast!"
"Dongping Daxing..." Li Laiheng tasted it and thought it was good. The era name of the Ming Dynasty is Hongxing, and there is also a prosperity. The Dashun side is Dongping Daxing, which also has a prosperity... It is still Daxing, and it is prosperous!
"Okay! The name of the new year will be Dongping Daxing!" Li Laiheng said, "I'm telling the world that next year the year will be changed to the first year of Dongping Daxing! I will send troops to the east after the Lantern Festival of the first year of Dongping Daxing to fight to the death with the Zhu thieves and puppet dynasty! All lands belonging to the Red Thieves and acquired by Dashun Tian's soldiers will be exempted from taxes for three years and the land will be equalized... I will ensure that the people in the southeast who cultivate their land will have their own land, everyone will have food to eat, and everyone will have clothing and clothing. ! This is the legacy of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong!"
