The seventh year of Jian'an, 202 AD, the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Xuchang officially announced to the world that the emperor Liu Xie personally issued an order to promote Yizhou Mu, General Wei, and Chengdu Hou Liu Zhang as Duke of Qin.
All the land in Guanzhong was given to Liu Zhang, and he was allowed to establish the Duke of Qin and appoint hundreds of officials.
Liu Zhang was given ten crowns, a gold and silver chariot, and six horses.
The emperor's chariots and uniforms were used for entry and exit, and the police were sent in and out. The Qin Palace was built in Chang'an City to discuss the establishment of the crown prince.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Zhang officially proclaimed himself the Duke of Jianguo, established his capital in Chang'an, and made his eldest son Liu Xun the crown prince.
The establishment of the Qin State in the Han Dynasty made Yizhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou all cheer for a while.
After Liu Zhang ascended the throne as Duke of Qin, he immediately rewarded his meritorious ministers.
The first is the top general among generals, the Quartet General.
Liu Zhang worshiped Huang Zhong as the former general, Taishi Ci as the left general, Dian Wei as the right general, and Zhao Yun as the rear general.
The generals of the Sifang are second-grade generals, and their status is only lower than that of the generals, the generals of the guards, and the generals of the chariots and cavalry.
Especially Zhao Yun's rear general, because Qin Gong Liu Zhang once served as the rear general, his status is self-evident.
Next is the second-grade general of the Four Expeditions.
He appointed Zhang Liao as the general who conquered the east, Xu Huang as the general who conquered the west, and Gao Shun as the general who conquered the south.
There is no suitable candidate for the post of General Zhengbei, so the reward will not be awarded for the time being.
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun had followed Liu Zhang for many years and made many military exploits. Except for the generals from all directions, no one could compare with them in terms of achievements.
Under the Four Expeditions Generals are the Four Towns Generals.
Like General Zhengbei, there are currently no suitable candidates for the generals of the Four Towns, and all positions are vacant.
Wait until the generals have made meritorious deeds, and then reward them.
Among the third-grade generals, the leader is the leader.
The Central Leading Army was mainly responsible for the Imperial Guards of the capital. Liu Zhang did not set it up separately, but asked Dian Wei to concurrently serve as the Central Leading Army.
At the same time, the Wuwei camp was renamed the Imperial Guard.
The position of the Central Guards under the Zhongling Army was held by Wu Yi, and all of Wu Yi's former troops were merged into the Imperial Guards.
Dian Wei was Liu Zhang's most trusted general, and Wu Yi was the brother of Liu Zhang's concubine. They were both trustworthy people.
After the Zhonghu Army came General Si'an and General Siping.
Liu Zhang only worshiped Pan Feng as General Anxi, and his intention was very obvious. He wanted Pan Feng to guard Yumen Pass and stabilize the Western Regions.
Then he appointed Gan Ning as General Pingdong, Zhang Ren as General Pingxi, Ma Chao as General Pingbei, and Pang De as General Pingnan.
Originally, the only candidates for Siping generals were Gan Ning and Zhang Ren. However, Ma Chao and Pang De defeated the Huns several times in the Battle of Hedong and were promoted for their merit.
As the actual controller of the Battle of Hedong, Pang Tong was also worshiped by Liu Zhang as the military advisor Zhonglang General.
Although the military advisor Zhonglang General has no military power, his rank is among the third-grade generals.
The last third-grade general was Yan Yan, who was worshiped as Zhenwu General.
As for fourth-grade generals and fifth-grade generals, there are many generals who have been awarded the title.
For example, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin of the Yufu Navy were appointed as General Pojiang and General PoShui respectively, and the other generals of the Navy also received rewards.
The only surprising ones are Zheng Du and Fazheng.
As a counselor, Zheng Du was worshiped as General An Tong by Liu Zhang.
Fazheng was worshiped as military advisor general by Liu Zhang and succeeded Xun You.
Everyone knew clearly what position Xun You held in Liu Zhang's heart.
From this we can see what Liu Zhang expected from Fa Zheng.
Others, such as Wei Yan, Deng Xian, Liu Huang, Yang Huai, Wu Lan, Leng Bao, Xia Houlan, etc., were all promoted to generals with various titles.
The generals of the four directions and the generals of the four expeditions were all given the title of Tinghou.
General Si'an, General Siping, Pang Tong, and Yan Yan were all granted the title of Marquis of Guannei.
After the establishment of the Qin Principality, the capital was changed from Chengdu to Chang'an, and the political center was transferred.
The changes in civil servants are also very large, starting with the three public officials and nine ministers.
Because the time was not yet ripe, all the seats of the three ministers and the nine ministers were vacant, and the minister's desk was only set up to handle official business.
Yizhou Biejia Jia Xu served as Shangshu Ling, and military advisor general Xun You served as Shangshu Pushe. The two assisted Liu Zhang in handling government affairs.
From Yizhou Mu to Qin Gong, Jia Xu and Xun You are still the most powerful people under Liu Zhang!
However, neither Shangshu Ling nor Shangshu Pushe had the authority to record Shangshu affairs.
The final decision of the entire Qin State is still in Liu Zhang's hands.
After Liu Zhang became Duke of Qin, he still held the post of Yizhou Mu, but all affairs in Yizhou before were handled by Jia Xu.
After Jia Xu was promoted to Shangshu Ling, he naturally could not also serve as Yizhou Biejia.
Everyone thought that the post of Yizhou Biejia would fall on the heads of leading figures from the Yizhou family such as Zhang Su and Yang Hong.
These people followed Liu Zhang for a long time and were loyal, and they survived many crises with Liu Zhang.
But the final candidate surprised everyone. Liu Zhang personally appointed Dong He to the post of Yizhou Biejia.
Liu Zhang personally appointed Yizhou Mu, so Yizhou Biejia became the actual controller of Yizhou.
Dong He also became the core member of Liu Zhang Group.
At this time, Liangzhou's subjugation of the Qiang people was still not completely completed, so Lu Su still served as the governor of Liangzhou.
The candidate for Yongzhou governor finally fell on Liu Ye.
At present, including Jing Zhaoyin in the capital Chang'an, all belong to Yongzhou, so Liu Zhang also handed over this important position to Liu Ye, who he trusted and was also a member of the Han clan.
Yongzhou has just been pacified, and all the counties and counties in the state are in a state of neglect, and it is a time when everything is waiting to be revitalized.
With Liu Ye personally in charge, Liu Zhang could worry less.
Although Jiuqing is not established, the various matters that Jiuqing is responsible for cannot be left unattended.
The virtuous ministers of the Yizhou family, such as Qin Xun, Wang Shang, Zhang Su, Yang Hong, Wang Fu, Qin Mi, Wang Lei, Fei Shi, He Zong, etc., were all transferred to Chang'an to serve in various positions under Jiuqing and carry out full-time work. Work.
For example, Guang Luxun's servant, Langzhong. The servant's examination, Che Mansion. Ting Wei's Zuo Jian, Zuo Ping and others.
It can be said that none of the important official positions under Jiuqing are empty, and all have dedicated personnel responsible for them.
Almost all the official positions directly under Jiuqing are in the third rank, and for the Yizhou family, they are all promotions.
Therefore, Dong He took up the post of Yizhou Biejia, and there was no objection.
The establishment of the Duke of Qin changed the native place of all officials under Liu Zhang from Han Dynasty to Qin Dynasty, and the cohesion of the entire force was greatly improved.
The morale of the three armies was like a rainbow, and the recognition of Liu Zhang by all soldiers and civilians increased significantly again.
Liu Zhang took this opportunity to personally commend the military generals and counselors of the Duke of Qin for their achievements, and specially commended them with titles.
Grant Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Ma Chao the Five Tiger Generals!
Give Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, and Pang De the five sons of good generals!
Give Jia Xu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Lu Su, and Pang Tong the five military advisors!
The five tiger generals, the five good generals, the five military advisors, a total of fifteen top talents were commended, making the hearts and morale of the entire Duke of Qin skyrocket again.
As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked!
Cao Cao: "Damn Liu Zhang, let him be proud for a while!"
Yuan Shao: "How dare you claim lordship? I will destroy you!"
Sun Quan: "Hey, Duke Qin... I'm envious..."
Liu Bei: "Traitor, traitor, traitor to the country, traitor to the Han Dynasty!"
