In the fifth year of Jian'an, spring.
March 21st is sunny and an auspicious day.
Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, paid homage to his ancestors in the temple and prayed to heaven. He claimed that he had little talent and little virtue, and was unable to comfort his ancestors and the common people. Therefore, he abdicated to Chen Yuanzhen.
At that time, there was thunder in the sky, and the sky was filled with colorful lights. There were fairy sounds and birds, and hundreds of birds came to congratulate them.
After Zhang Kun made three resignations and three concessions, he had no choice but to go up to the stage to accept the concession, read out the Book of Ten Thousand People, and promised to treat all living beings, Li Shu, and herders on behalf of heaven.
"Destiny is not always the same, but it is virtuous. Congratulations to the emperor."
Zhang Zhao was the first to kowtow.
The rest of the civil servants and generals suddenly realized this and quickly prostrated themselves: "My emperor will live forever!"
Since then, the name of the country has been changed to "Qian", the name of the year has been changed to Yuancheng, and the fifth year of Jian'an has been changed to the first year of Yuancheng, taking the true meaning of "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman keeps improving himself".
Since then, it has been a unilateral change of dynasty.
Everyone in the court, up and down, holding official positions, were all beaming with joy.
Only Liu Xie, with a stiff look on his face, led several palace officials and stood aside and said bitterly: "The calendar of heaven is in your hands, and I am willing to hold on to it. There will be poverty all over the world, but the fortune of heaven will last forever..."
The general idea is that you must treat this country and these people well and continue on the right path. If the people are left in poverty and the world is in chaos, the salary and position God has given you and the good treatment will only end there.
Zhang Kun nodded in approval, and the ceremony was completed.
Next, the imperial court established six ministries, selected officials, and issued a general amnesty to the world. It summoned Yang, Xu, Yu, Yanzhou and other places to exempt people from taxes for three years and allow the people to rest and recuperate.
At the same time, a proclamation was issued to enumerate the ten major crimes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and ordered them to come to Xudu within one month to face the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, they would send troops to conquer, confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.
It is worth mentioning that the proclamation was written by the great Confucian Kong Rong...
After he lost his official position, he went to work in Xudu. Although he was fond of talking and chatting, he was still very good at matters such as etiquette, culture and education.
Zhang Kun handed the Ministry of Rites into his hands, which can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them.
Zhang Zhao and Kong Rong jointly handled all the affairs, including the ceremony for worshiping heaven, which was also done by the Confucian scholar himself, and it was said that it was indeed done very well.
In addition to the ceremony of Xu Du's abdication ceremony being held in full swing, Lu Bu had already received the news, gathered Gao Shun's army, marched north from Xuzhou, fought consecutive battles all the way, and defeated Yanzhou with almost no decent low resistance.
It can be regarded as a fierce breath of bad breath.
Since then, the four states of Xu, Yang, and Yanyu have become one, and Zhang Kun has occupied a vast land. At the same time, he has been working hard, selected 8,000 elite cavalry, and 50,000 elite soldiers, and summoned generals to prepare for the Northern Expedition.
"Your Majesty, is it too little to send 50,000 troops? Cao Mengde now has 150,000 troops, and Yuan Shao has even more, more than 300,000 infantry and cavalry..."
In his position and in his political affairs, if Xun Wen surrenders, it will naturally lead to a dark road. At this time, he is a little worried.
Although Zhang Kun's cavalry has been seen to be elite and unstoppable, with so few men, even if they win the battle, it will be difficult to collect the defeated troops afterwards, let alone fighting all the way, and a large city needs to be guarded.
Just sending 60,000 troops to conquer the four states and countless counties will easily lead to surrender and rebellion, turning the northern Central Plains into a mess.
Guo Fengxiao smiled and shook his head: "Wen Ruo, you have nothing to worry about this time. Your Majesty only sends out elite troops and does not fight a big battle. It is obvious that he only wants a quick victory. As for controlling the place, it is not difficult at all... As long as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao has been defeated and has no leader. The cities in various places can be conquered with just a piece of paper. There is no need to fight everywhere and laboriously recruit surrenders."
Therefore, Guo Jiaqiang's strength lies in his ability to understand people's hearts and see the overall situation clearly.
Xun Wenruo, on the other hand, was calm and steady, taking care of internal affairs.
Both sides have their own strengths.
As for how this battle will be fought, Zhang Kun actually already has a stomachache.
He has trained an invincible and powerful army at his hands, and he himself is invincible in both vertical and horizontal directions. At this time, when he sets up a battle array with others and uses tactics, he is sacrificing his strengths to take advantage of his weaknesses. He takes off his pants and farts.
The best thing to do is, of course, to act recklessly.
No matter how the opponent's military formation is arranged or how sophisticated the strategy is, he will just push and crush him all the way to the Yellow Dragon. No matter what kind of strategy he is, he will not be able to use it.
No matter how powerful the art of war is, it will only be useful when the enemy is evenly matched.
If the two armies are really facing each other, and one side is completely vulnerable and will be defeated as soon as they come into contact, then is there any need to worry too much?
Therefore, he was waiting for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's reaction.
Also waiting for the response of the princes of the world.
However, the world is in chaos for a long time.
Those people are all elders of one party, and they are used to the days of monopolizing power and claiming hegemony. If you want to make them submit to your own independent court, there is definitely no hope.
This is exactly what Zhang Kun expected.
If Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others really lose face and surrender, it will be difficult for him to arrange it. It is always inappropriate to lower his official position.
Just like Liu Xie after abdication.
He used to pretend to be an emperor. If you give him a title, it would be a slap in his face.
Let’s not talk about Liu Xie himself, just talk about the remaining officials of the Han Dynasty, they are also disgraceful.
Therefore, to show his generosity, Zhang Kun still gave him a throne.
No matter how good he is as King Anle, he still has a throne and needs to be treated well...
Fortunately, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not have much strength. He did not need to seal the territory. He only enjoyed the blessings in the court. His status was noble and he had no real power.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
This is also the true meaning of "well-being".
The name originally proposed by Xun Wenruo actually had a profound meaning.
Just live your life happily, and don't worry about anything else in the future. It's better to give up all your little thoughts, so as not to get into trouble.
Similar to the title of "An Le", there is also the title of "Xiao Yao". Once this title is given, even the stupidest courtiers will know that this is the idle prince and will not seek death by seeking refuge in his family.
But Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are different. Even if the elders of this level surrender, if you don't give him a state to comfort him, everyone in the world will poke their bones and think that the new emperor Chen Yuanzhen is mean and unkind and unhuman. host.
Therefore, Zhang Kun limited time to prepare to rectify the affairs of the states under his jurisdiction, divide official positions, and defend their respective territories. He also selected elite soldiers and horses and selected generals for the Northern Expedition to give them this buffer time.
Give them a chance to concentrate their forces and fight against themselves.
The new dynasty had just been established, and most people in the world did not recognize it.
Most of them sneered in their hearts, thinking that Zhang Kun was just another Yuan Shu, or even worse than Yuan Shu.
Although his territory is larger and his strength is stronger, the common people and nobles will not pay so much attention to him. They always judge the noble and the low based on their family background.
Yuan Shu was born in the fourth generation of the Three Dukes family. Although everyone called him emperor, no one thought that he was not qualified to be emperor. They just thought that this guy was too impatient.
As for Zhang Kun, all he wanted to do to become emperor was to write his rebellion directly on his face. Even if there was a reason for abdication, anyone with a discerning eye would understand that the so-called abdication, no matter what era it was in, was actually another form of "forcing the palace". A statement that proves nothing.
It is natural for people to be dissatisfied.
"This battle is inevitable. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will not surrender. They are reluctant to give up the power in their hands, and we also need this battle... How can the new dynasty be established without seeing blood and laying the foundation without piles of corpses? Are you here to stabilize the imperial court?"
When Guo Jia said this, everyone fell into deep thought and agreed in their hearts.
After all, there has to be a fight. If we don't fight to make all the princes in the world surrender, this court and this emperor will be a joke.
…
April 19th.
Zhang Kun led 8,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, marched north, and took Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Tai Shi Ci, Gao Shun, and Xu Chu as generals, and marched directly to Hebei.
On May 20th, Zhang Kun crossed the river and led three thousand dragons and horses. They destroyed the main force of Cao Cao's army and captured Cao Cao alive.
Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed.
As for Cao Mengde himself, Zhang Kun had to admit that this man was a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times...
However, the other party's prestige is too high and there are too many loyal people under his command, so he really can't keep him.
So, he killed Cao Cao in front of thousands of troops and spread the word to all directions, so Cao Cao's army was determined.
After reorganizing his troops and resting in place for three days, Zhang Kun gathered ten thousand cavalry and marched directly to Yecheng.
Encountering Wen Chou and Yan Liang on the road, they slashed their heads with swords, defeated the cavalry, and the army approached the city.
After persuading him to surrender three times, he attacked the city that day, destroyed the Yuan family, beheaded Yuan Shao, and made everyone surrender.
Yuan Shao was well loved by the nobles. Even after he was defeated and captured, he was still followed by more than a dozen civil servants and generals.
This time, Zhang Kun was no longer soft-hearted. Anyone who resisted and refused to surrender would have their homes confiscated and beheaded.
On May 28th, the army swept through the four counties, and the north was safe.
Lu Bu was sent to guard Youzhou to prevent the invasion of Wuhuan and other foreign tribes. Zhang Kun's troops returned to the court and turned around to attack.
On June 21, Zhang Kun broke through Xiangyang. In front of Liu Biao's house, he vowed not to surrender and shouted loudly that Zhang Kun was a rebellious minister and a traitor. The puppet government he established was difficult to win over people's hearts.
As a result, the Liu family in Jingzhou was wiped out, and all the supporters ransacked their homes. Ten days later, Yizhou surrendered. Zhang Kun moved Liu Zhang and his son out of Sichuan, and sent officials to serve as exiles to appease the Shu region.
Just as Guo Jia expected, the world will be at peace in March, and the major princes who have been fighting fiercely in the past will either die or surrender.
What Zhang Kun Bingfeng pointed at was all black and yellow.
The fight silenced the whole world, and even the scholars who spoke loudly began to learn to be careful in their words and deeds, and stayed in their own right, not daring to say a word against the emperor.
On August 15th, people and moon reunite.
Zhang Kun ordered the capital to be moved to Chang'an, enriched the six ministries, re-divided counties and counties, eliminated the chief ministers of the state, and issued a list of candidates to recruit scholars, and concentrated on teaching literacy in every state, county, county and village to promote the reputation of Daqian...
Especially to promote how wise and powerful the Emperor Daqian was and how he led the people to prosperity...
Why teach literacy?
the reason is simple.
Zhang Kun found that after he had brought peace to the world and brought so many benefits to the people, the increase in dragon energy was not as satisfactory as expected.
I thought that after the world was pacified, six more divisions were established, divided into counties and counties, and the prestige spread to the countryside. This would definitely mean that everyone would worship him and the dragon spirit would flow like a tide.
The results of it?
The total amount of dragon energy he got was only over 380 points.
It's not too small, but compared to the achievements of unifying the world, it's a little pitiful.
The only explanation is that his reputation has not penetrated deeply into the hearts of the people of Li. In the hearts of those people, they may not even know who has become the emperor.
Even those who are well-informed just think that the emperor is so powerful. Can the emperor give us enough to eat? Then, he turned around and asked again, who is the emperor?
Well, I don’t know the words, and no one has the intention to teach me, how can I gather this dragon energy?
Therefore, Zhang Kun had to put education at the forefront.
For this reason, there was fierce fighting at the court meeting.
Out of ten, eight or nine do not agree with this approach.
Even Xun Wenruo felt that this approach was a bit urgent...
So, Zhang Kun abandoned the imperial examination system and appointed officials based on classics and righteousness and economic assessment, and the world began to boil... Then, he promulgated the land equalization system and restricted land sales... Within one month, seven rebels appeared , it’s just like smoke everywhere.
Within the next six months, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong sent out troops, leading three thousand dragon and leopard cavalry to directly annihilate eighteen rebel kings. The blood flowed and the world fell silent, and the opposition voices were silenced. Come down.
The imperial examination system, land equalization system, and ideological education classes starting from young children were all implemented.
Three years of tax exemption for the whole country is good governance. Of course, no one said much.
There is nothing to say about large-scale farming and land reclamation. Enriching the national treasury, sending troops abroad, and subduing the barbarians are all Zhang Kung Qiangang's arbitrary decisions...
Only matters related to culture, education and official selection are some obstacles and cannot be rushed.
However, the arm still couldn't twist the thigh, and the wealthy family couldn't fight against the bloody knife after all.
After a lot of overt and covert fighting, it only took three years for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to go from not accepting it to fully implementing it.
From this, the world is settled.
…
Yuancheng three years.
The world will have a good harvest and the people will be happy.
Zhang Kun looked at the memorial presented to the eucalyptus platform and felt comforted in his heart.
After re-measurement of the land and census of the population, he found that the total population of Daqian now totaled 50 million people, and it was still growing by millions every year.
Thinking about the original trajectory, after the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, there were only seven million people left in the world...
Zhang Kun sighed for a while.
After he pacified the world, he retained his vitality because of his extremely fast speed, which was considered a great merit.
Just three years later, it seemed that the world was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the famine and chaos of changing children and eating food were like a dream, and it seemed that they had never happened.
Peace was restored to the world, and there was a scene of prosperity.
Lu Bu had already led his troops into the depths of the grassland and gained a reputation as a butcher.
Huang Zhong also conquered the southern barbarian lands and turned the barbaric hills into fertile fields.
East China Sea Langya has built its first large ship and is preparing to go out to sea for trial trials...
The dragon energy is like thousands of streams returning to the sea, gathering bit by bit.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy. Empress Lu and Da Qiao are going into labor at the same time. The imperial doctor said that within three hours, the baby will be born."
The eunuch Xiao Guizi's shrill voice came, but it didn't feel harsh at all.
Zhang Kun was overjoyed.
"Let's go to Kunhe Palace..."
He worked hard for several years, sometimes even suspecting that he had reproductive isolation because his soul and blood came from outside the world.
Unexpectedly, there was no movement in the first two years, but in the third year, people won the bid one after another.
Nowadays, in addition to Da Qiao and Lu Lingqi who are about to give birth to a child, Xiao Qiao and Zhang Guiren are also a little pregnant... Even Sun Guiren has begun to learn female celebrities and dance, and is preparing to officially sleep in the next spring.
"This evil old society is so comfortable."
Zhang Kun drove away with a smile on his face and looked at the harem.
My mind felt cool for a while, and I saw the golden stars in the sky falling like dewdrops, and another batch of dragon energy roared towards the sky and covered the earth.
"It's not easy to break through again."
Zhang Kun sighed.
…
Asking for a monthly ticket.
