After solving the biggest problem of the country's name, the next things will be simple, such as the establishment of the six central ministries after the founding of the country, as well as the rewards of military lieutenant generals and ministers.
The most important thing is the title of the generals in the army.
Others throw their heads and blood to fight on the battlefield, not for loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but for their own ambition to get ahead and make contributions.
If the title is not conferred well, there will definitely be complaints from the military lieutenants and generals. At that time, it will affect the morale of the army.
As for how to canonize.
Wang Jing did not discuss it with everyone in public, but thought about it seriously when he was preparing to return to the harem.
At this time.
The report from the attendant came from outside the palace.
Gao Xi still held the position of head of the Secret Supervisor, so he walked to the door and brought the information delivered by the clerk.
"Your Majesty, this is the good news from General Yangkan!"
Gao Xi glanced at the cover of the memorial and smiled.
"oh?"
Wang Jing's brows moved slightly. When the information was delivered to him, he glanced at it and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Yes, General Yang Kan and General Xie Xuan are indeed famous generals. Together, Chen Baxian's hundreds of thousands of troops were instantly destroyed. This is the result of the destruction of the country!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this.
No matter how you say it, Chen Baxian of Nanchen is a hegemon in history.
In everyone's minds, even if the Huai army could defeat this enemy, it would still require Wang Jingyujia to personally conquer it and mobilize an army of 500,000 to be safe.
Yang Kan's 100,000 cavalry were only sent to hold off the enemy.
It has to be said that after following Wang Jing for such a long time, the ministers gradually developed a style of crushing and pushing him with large armies.
Even against an enemy with 100,000 soldiers and horses, 200,000 soldiers and horses must be sent to conquer.
But this time, Yang Kan only used 100,000 cavalry and Xie Xuan to attack from inside and outside, and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Nanchen's troops. Although this achievement could not surpass several generals of the Huai Army, it was still one of the best.
He had the same demeanor as when he led the cavalry to attack Yang Xingmi and won a complete victory.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. You have achieved such a great victory just when you are about to ascend the throne. It can be said that God favors you. Your Majesty has the destiny of Heaven, and you will definitely be the one to rule the world!"
Han Xizai stepped forward to congratulate him.
After he took the lead to come forward to congratulate, Xie Hui, Cen Wenwen and others also came forward to congratulate him. For a while, the hall was filled with joy.
Wang Jing laughed.
He was in a good mood at this time. What made him happy was that in addition to the destruction of Nanchen, he was also joined by three ninth-level talents, Xie Xuan, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Ke.
Needless to say, Xie Xuan and Zhuge Jin are among them. Zhuge Ke is extremely intelligent. If he is used to govern politics and handle complex affairs, he can bring the Huai army center's government affairs to a higher level.
In history, he was able to be reused and promoted by Sun Quan, and later became an important minister of Soochow, taking charge of the military and political power of Soochow... He still had abilities, but he was just flawed in character.
Since Wang Jing knows the other party's flaws and strengths, he will naturally use his strengths and discard his weaknesses. Let Zhuge Ke's abilities be brought into full play.
In the world of China, the ninth level is the real upper class.
The number of ninth-level experts is also a measure of a force's foundation and strength.
Take Liu Song, for example, although Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi, the two top ninth-level men, are in charge, in the eyes of Wang Jing and other princes in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Song has a weak foundation and will be difficult to turn around once it encounters a major defeat.
If Liu Yu could have two or three more ninth-level soldiers, he would have put himself in danger and had to take action personally to guard the city, and was eventually besieged.
"Your Majesty, now that Nanchen has been destroyed, it is a good opportunity for our army to seize Hezhou and threaten Jinling! Please also ask the king to issue an edict to let General Yangkan move to Hezhou! And send the navy to support,"
Bu Zhao waited until the congratulations in the hall subsided a little, then immediately stepped forward and said.
He is the Privy Councilor of the Privy Council. In addition to being responsible for the mobilization of grain and grass in the army, material preparation, various military posts and other chores, he also has the right to make military strategic suggestions.
After Bu Zhi spoke, Gao Xi, Xie Hui and other "strategists" who were proficient in strategy all agreed.
"Well, General Yang Kan has already started to do this. Hezhou is just a newly captured territory by Chen Baxian. The foundation is not stable. It is not difficult to capture it. However, opposite Hezhou is the Ming Army General Chang Yuchun!"
"Chang Yuchun is a famous general in the world. I am worried that General Yangkan has just finished fighting. He may not be able to deal with Chang Yuchun..."
Wang Jing was a little worried.
Chang Yuchun and Xu Da seem to be inconspicuous among the famous generals and marshals of ancient and modern times. They are not as good as the unparalleled gods of war like Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Han Xin Bai Qi.
But their abilities are definitely among the top generals of their time.
Xu Da was a talented commander. He fought countless battles in his life. Except for one setback when he encountered Wang Baobao in the Northern Expedition, he had almost no defeats. Chang Yuchun is brave and unparalleled.
Fu Youde was good at conquering and fighting. He could not only command an army, but he was also a top-notch general. Wang Jing knew his abilities very well.
However, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were able to firmly suppress Fu Youde. This handsome man and general could only rank third among all the generals of the Ming Army.
Although Yang Kan is known as the enemy of ten thousand people and can lead a large army to destroy the enemy's army, but his bravery and the unrivaled strength of Chang Yuchun, I don't know if he can withstand it...
"this……"
Bu Zhao also looked a little hesitant.
Gao Xi said: "Your Majesty, you might as well let General He Ruo and the three generals Zhang Hao and Lu Meng lead the troops to take charge. With General He Ruo's ability, even if Dangtu cannot be conquered, Hezhou can be stabilized!"
Wang Jing thought about it.
Among the many generals under his command, the only top experts who could compete with Chang Yuchun were Fu Youde and He Ruobi.
Others, such as Chen Qingzhi, Shi Wansui, Murong Shaozong, Yuwen Chengdu, etc., either had flaws or were just simple fighting generals who were unable to command an army.
Now Fu Youde needs to be in charge of Jingkou, and He Ruobi needs to be in charge of Danyang...
The two right-hand men are all placed on the border of Zhenjiang, and some of them are overqualified and underused.
Anyway, given the current situation of the Ming army, they will not launch an attack on the Huai army for the time being, so let Fu Youde sit in Danyang and be fully responsible for the eastern front against Xu Da in Jinling.
He Ruobi brought several ninth-level powerhouses to Hezhou, which could put great pressure on Dangtu.
No matter how fierce Chang Yuchun is, he will not act rashly even if he knows that He Ruobi, Yang Kan, Zhang Hao and Lu Meng are in Hezhou.
"Apart from Fu Youde and He Ruobi, Xie Xuan is also a talented commander who is good at fighting. It's a pity that he has just joined and cannot rely on him with the help of a large army!"
Wang Jing thought to himself.
"Zhaoxuan's suggestion was good. Gu agreed and immediately ordered He Ruobi, Zhang Hao, and Lu Meng to go to Hezhou. He Ruobi was appointed as the general to conquer the east, and Yang Kan, the general of the town army, as his deputy. No Ming warships were allowed to go northward... …”
Wang Jing came to his senses and ordered in a deep voice.
When Xie Hui in the main hall saw this scene, his eyes changed slightly.
With the victory of the millions of Huai army in the southern expedition, the destruction of Dongwu and Liu Song, and the surrender of Nanchen, the status of the Sui and Tang Dynasties such as Gao Xi, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui soared in the Huai army.
It had only been about a year since they defected to the King of Huai, but through their meritorious service on the battlefield, they quickly became the backbone of the Huai army, and even vaguely kept pace with the Huaixi clique.
As for the original veteran faction and the Nanliang faction, their prestige in the military was overshadowed by the Sui and Tang factions.
When Gaoxi entered the three provinces, the status of the Sui and Tang Dynasties became even higher.
"If He Ruobi arrives in Hezhou and attacks the Ming army in the future, he can serve as the commander-in-chief... If this continues, where will my position be in the army?"
Xie Hui's thoughts were floating in his mind.
He is a man who loves power, but because of his reputation in history books, he usually doesn't have much of a presence other than giving advice and suggestions during military campaigns.
This made the arrogant Xie Hui a little unwilling.
However, when Xie Hui thought that Xie An and Xie Xuan of the Xie family in Chen County were coming to Yangzhou, his originally depressed mood suddenly rose a lot.
Because he is a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County.
He is still an authentic direct descendant. In terms of seniority, he is the same generation as Xie An's grandson Xie Lingyun.
In the future, with the help of Xie An and Xie Xuan, his status in the court may be improved.
"No... Even with the help of my family, according to King Huai's rules, if I can't make great achievements, I still won't be able to become a central minister..."
Xie Hui's eyes flickered.
When the meeting was about to end, he suddenly made up his mind.
…
In the next few days, Wang Jing was in the harem, settling the princess Da Qiao who had moved from Sihong, as well as many concubines.
In the harem, in addition to Princess Da Qiao, there are also concubines such as Xiao Qiao, Bu Lianshi, Da Zhou, Xiao Yun, Li Zu'e, Dugu Jialuo... If you add in the legitimate daughters donated by the powerful families that have gathered together.
The number of concubines and beauties in the harem has exceeded ten.
In addition to these concubines, there are countless pretty girls with second-class appearance and color in the palace.
It can be said that these women are at Wang Jing's disposal.
If it were the origin world, any pretty girl in the harem would be the goddess that many people dream of. If he could gain their favor, Wang Jing would be able to laugh out of his dreams.
But now, Wang Jing's vision has been spoiled by many concubines.
Whether it is Princess Da Qiao or Li Zu'e, who is of average reputation among the concubines, they are both rare and stunning in the world, either graceful and luxurious, or as beautiful as a fairy.
In Wang Jing's eyes, the maids in the palace were real maids, and he basically didn't even look at them.
As a temporary palace, Guiyan Palace could barely accommodate the harem girls, but it was still somewhat cramped.
"It seems that building a palace is indeed necessary!"
Wang Jing couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he saw that Guiyan Palace was filled to the brim with concubines, maids, and eunuchs who had moved there.
Starting from Qin Shihuang, whenever an emperor reigns, he or she will build more or less palaces.
Qin Shihuang's Afang Palace, Han Gaozu's Weiyang Palace...either to show majesty or for pleasure, the habit of building palace gardens reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, from the early to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Old Summer Palace, Xihe Garden, Changchun Garden... some gardens were built for more than two hundred years.
This is a bit too much.
Since Wang Jing's rise, basically no palaces have been built, leading to today's predicament.
"The palace in Sihong has been repaired, but it's a pity that it can only be used as a temporary palace..."
Wang Jing raised his hand and called Wang An, the eunuch manager who was with him, and said: "Send an order to the Ministry of Industry and ask the construction department to come to Yangzhou as soon as possible. Let He Chou lead the skilled craftsmen to build two more palaces next to Guiyan Palace..."
Wang An, the chief eunuch, is like a local dog who is always ready to be called. When he hears Wang Jing's words, he immediately responds.
"Your Majesty, Xie Hui, the Minister of War, would like to see you!"
A eunuch came to report at this time.
"pass!"
Wang Jing waved his hand and took the eunuchs and maids serving beside him to the pavilion in the narrator's garden.
I saw grass and trees growing, the weather was neither cold nor hot, and the branches and leaves of the trees that withered in winter became vibrant and green.
Guiyan Palace was originally a palace built by Yang Guang by mobilizing a lot of manpower and material resources. The palace palaces were decorated with flowers, trees, lakes and gardens, which made many literati and poets forget to leave.
However, although the scenery of such a palace is extremely beautiful, in Wang Jing's eyes, it lacks a sense of grandeur and grandeur.
Just like the Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty, the Daming Palace and the Taiji Palace in the Tang Dynasty, it looks like a king, while Guiyan Palace is a place of enjoyment and leisure, with quite the extravagance of the south of the Yangtze River.
This kind of palace is not bad as a place for pleasure and summer vacation.
But it serves as a meeting for the great dynasty. It is very inappropriate to rule the upcoming Great Xia Dynasty.
"The palace in Jinling is better. Move to Jinling as soon as possible and build a majestic palace. Dragons and tigers are roosting, and the king's aura sweeps across the south. Then you don't have to worry about the majesty of the palace!"
Wang Jing thought casually in his heart.
At this time, the eunuch led the way and led Xie Hui outside the pavilion.
"I thank you Hui and pay my respects to the king!"
Xie Hui bowed and saluted, but did not kneel down.
The great ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping can only be used in various important rituals such as worshiping the heaven and major court meetings. In ordinary times, when meeting the monarch, the ministers only need to bow and salute.
After the Tang and Song dynasties, it was necessary to kneel down and bow down when meeting the monarch.
Xie Hui came from the Southern and Northern Dynasties when the power of the emperor was not obvious, and he did not have the habit of kneeling. Of course, Wang Jing would not force his ministers to kneel down and use this to show his majesty.
In fact, in the world of China, the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping is slowly being abolished. After all, civil and military ministers are basically strong men above the seventh level, and have the dignity that belongs to the strong...
"What's Xuanming doing here?"
Wang Jing asked casually.
"I got news not long ago that the famous general Tan Daoji lived in seclusion in Daqianling, Chuzhou, and built a fortress to ward off bandits... After hearing this, I sent someone to invite him, and Tan Daoji replied, willing to serve the king!"
"Now Tan Daoji is coming to Yangzhou..."
Thank you for your respectful report.
"Tan Daoji?"
Wang Jing's expression suddenly fluctuated, and he couldn't help but glance at Xie Hui, a little surprised.
Now, a famous general from the martial arts temple came to join him. Although it made Wang Jing feel happy, it was no longer enough to excite him.
Tan Daoji, a famous general in Liu Song Dynasty.
According to legend, he was the author of Thirty-six Strategies and had the talent to lead an army. He can be regarded as a first-rate famous general in history. Among the military generals of the Liu and Song dynasties, his ability was similar to that of Wang Zhene, or even higher.
He is a general in the army second only to Liu Yu.
When Liu Yu died, he and Xie Hui served as the four ministers to assist the new emperor Zuo. Later, he was jealous of Liu Yilong and was innocently killed.
In the world of China, Tan Daoji did not continue to defect to Liu Yu, which was very normal.
Because he killed several of Liu Yu's sons in history and could not face Liu Yu, and he was killed by Liu Yilong, he only had hatred for Liu Song and no nostalgia.
None of this surprised Wang Jing.
The reason why he was surprised was that Tan Daoji was the main factor in Xie Hui's murder! Xie Hui raised an army, and Tan Daoji led his troops to put down the rebellion... From this point of view, the hatred between Xie Hui and Tan Daoji was not small.
However, Xie Hui didn't see it that way. In his heart, he and Tan Daoji had no personal enmity.
Recommending Tan Daoji can gain the attention of King Huai and make great contributions. It also allows Tan Daoji to communicate with him after joining the Huai Army, no matter what happened before.
Now that Tan Daoji has been recommended by him, the two parties have reconciled...
Of course, this may also be Xie Hui's wishful thinking.
After all, as a ninth-level first-class general, Tan Daoji wants to serve as an official and join the army. No matter what force he joins, he will be welcomed and valued...
