The Daxia Dynasty was successfully established.
Unlike other dynasties in the world of China, the Great Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty to establish a dynasty in this world after hundreds of millions of creatures came to the world of China.
If we talk about orthodoxy, Wang Jing's Daxia Dynasty is the biological son of the Chinese world, and other dynasties are just adopted.
Of course, the will of God in the world of China is high, and it is the same for any force. Because of this, Wang Jing will not be more powerful.
If you want to succeed, you still have to look at your own efforts.
"As I ascend the throne today, I will sweep across the four poles, quell chaos in all directions, and save all peoples from fire and water. All of you, dear friends, have come to pay tribute to me and make immortal contributions to the establishment of Daxia. Today, Daxia is established. I will grant you a title to repay your kindness. achievement!"
Wang Jingduan sat up and spoke in a calm voice.
When the ministers heard this, a hint of excitement and nervousness appeared in their eyes.
"Chen Yi, followed me in the early days and made great contributions to the Great Xia... I specially made Chen Yi the Duke of Sihong County, hereditary and irreplaceable..."
Shen Yi stood up and bowed down excitedly, accepting the title of Sihong County Duke.
A few days ago, Wang Jing discussed with everyone and revised the system of military merit titles. The previous ones, from the ninth rank Wuqi Lieutenant, the ninth rank Yunqi Lieutenant, to the third rank champion general, have not been changed.
What has been changed is the title of third grade or above.
Because this is a title awarded at the founding of the country and is basically hereditary, one has to be cautious. Because the longevity of the ministers in the Divine World will become longer as they become stronger.
Therefore, the rank of the title is too few, and the ministers, especially the generals, will continue to perform meritorious service during their long lives, which will easily lead to the situation where they cannot be sealed.
Wang Jing wanted to make the hierarchy of titles more complete and detailed when he founded the country, so as to avoid being passive in the future.
The third-level champion generals are divided into three levels. The third rank is the third rank champion general, there are second rank and first rank generals above, and the first rank general is the second rank.
Above the title of general, there is the viscount, which is also divided into three grades. The first grade has a rank starting from the first grade. Above the viscount, there is the earl, still the third class.
Among them, the third-level uncle is the first grade. A first-class uncle is already a super-grade person.
Above the earl are the third-class marquis and duke.
Among them, the dukes are divided into county princes and county princes. This is basically the pinnacle that ordinary ministers can reach.
If it's a clan, it's the county king and prince... If a minister has made great achievements, he can be named a county king, while only a prince can be canonized by a descendant of the royal family.
As the earliest meritorious official of Conglong, Shen Yi served as a bachelor in the Central Committee and was in charge of the civil affairs of Daxia for many years. His contribution to sitting at the rear for Wang Jing, sorting out government affairs, and mobilizing food and grass was enough to rank him first among the meritorious officials.
With his qualifications and merit, it is not an exaggeration to be named a county official. Especially the title of county official is Sihong, where Wang Jing started.
This shows the trust in him.
The ministers on both sides of the hall, including Li Shanchang and Gao Xi who had experienced the founding of the country, could not help but feel a little emotional when they saw this scene. Once upon a time, they were also the first contributors to the founding of the country in the history of the Origin World.
It's a pity that most of the greatest heroes in history's founding of the People's Republic of China ended badly.
"Fu Youde...canonized as Duke of Shouchun County!"
"Li Kaifang... was granted the title of First Class Divine Power Marquis!"
"Yang Kan... was named a first-class Shenweihou!"
"Bu Zhao... was made a first-class Marquis of Cheng'en..."
The only dukes who were canonized this time were Chen Yi and Fu Youde. The achievements of other ministers could not be compared with these two. As for Gao Xi, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui and others, they also received titles because of their contributions to the Southern Expedition. .
However, the highest title they received was that of He Ruobi's First Class Wu Weibo.
There is a marquis in between the Duke and the Duke.
Gao Xi looked normal and was not dissatisfied because of this. After all, they defected halfway and were naturally lacking in qualifications. It was pretty good to be canonized as an earl based on their contribution after defecting.
The titles of the Great Xia Dynasty are not just empty titles. Each level can be blessed by the corresponding dynasty dragon energy, which can increase the speed of practice.
When facing an enemy, you can also use the dynasty dragon energy in your body to suppress your opponent.
In addition, there are different levels of titles, and there is also a part of the title land that does not have to pay taxes, Mengyin! And the corresponding soldiers, mansions, and manors!
In addition to not being able to get real fiefdoms like the nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, the benefits of the title were not many.
In the court room.
The canonization of Duke and Marquis was read out by Wang Jing himself.
The count, the third-class son, and the third-class general behind him were read out by the eunuch serving next to him. There are about hundreds of people who have been awarded the title of third-class general. These are the backbone of Daxia's army.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
After the canonization was completed, these ministers bowed down and worshiped.
Wang Jing smiled, raised his palms, and asked the officials to stand up.
After the title was conferred, the official positions were adjusted. Among them, Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang were still bachelors of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Su Wei was added.
Li Shanchang was named Minister of Household Affairs, and Gao Xi was promoted to Privy Councilor...
As for the generals, the generals of the Four Expeditions and Four Towns can command an army of 200,000 to 400,000. In terms of military strength, they have almost reached the limit.
If a certain military commander controls an army of more than 500,000, it will easily pose a threat to the center.
Therefore, in the army, four campaigns and four towns are already the pinnacle.
In the future, when he sent out troops to fight, Wang Jinghui followed the Tang Dynasty and set up a general manager of the march, or a general governor of the march, and let a certain general serve as the general manager to control the entire army.
After the war, the temporary duties were immediately abolished...
"The Great Xia is newly established. If you, dear friends, can make new contributions, I will not hesitate to reward you with titles and salaries!"
Wang Jing said the last thing.
All the ministers responded respectfully.
As for the canonization of the harem, it was mentioned in the court without any surprises. Da Qiao was named queen, and the other concubines were not even qualified to be canonized in the court.
There is also Wang Jing's eldest son, who was canonized as Jiangdu County Prince, and his eldest daughter was named Huaiyang Princess...
At this moment.
The grand ceremony of enthronement and canonization is finally over.
Return to the harem.
Da Qiao, who had just been canonized as the queen, came with a group of concubines to pay her respects. All the women were of exquisite beauty and had peerless beauty. There were so many concubines who could be called the pride of heaven gathered together.
Wang Jing's eyes couldn't help but light up. He just felt that it was pleasing to the eye and made him feel very happy.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty..."
Da Qiao and the other girls bowed down one after another.
Like those civil and military officials, they also need to pay respect to Wang Jing as kings and ministers at this time, and the queen is no exception.
"Hahaha, everyone get up!"
Wang Jing laughed and stepped forward to help Da Qiao up. At the same time, his eyes swept over the surrounding Li Zu'e, Dugu Jialuo, Xiao Yun and others.
"Today is a big day, don't be too formal..."
Wang Jing said.
…
The news that the Huai army had become Daxia quickly spread throughout the country.
Whether it was Cao Cao, Chen Gong, and Gao Huan who occupied Qingqi in the north, or Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Yu in the south, they had already known about the upcoming founding of the Xia Dynasty.
But when Wang Jingzhen worshiped heaven and proclaimed himself emperor and established Daxia, they were still a little shocked.
Especially, after the establishment of Daxia, it posed a great threat to Ming Dynasty.
When the news of Nanchen's destruction came out, Zhu Yuanzhang had already left Xuancheng and quickly returned to Jinling with a small number of elites to take charge. However, not long after, news of the establishment of Daxia came again.
Every piece of news can cause shock in Jinling.
Especially in the east and west of Daxia, Jinling was surrounded by two sides, especially Jingkou in the east, which was the biggest threat to the east of Jinling.
The west side is okay, with the Yangtze River Natural Barrier and General Chang Yuchun in charge, so there is no problem for the time being.
But the threat to the east is huge.
Once there is a shortage of troops in Jinling, the Xia army can take advantage of the situation and enter through Jingkou.
"Our current strategic disadvantage is too great!"
In the main hall of Jinling Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Zhu Biao, Yang Shiqi, and Zhang Huangyan to discuss matters.
As soon as he mentioned Xia Jun to everyone, Li Wenzhong couldn't help but sigh.
However, what he said was an old tune. Since arriving in the world of China, the strategic situation of the Ming army has not been better.
In the early stage, he fought with many rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, generals and princes of various dynasties, and even killed Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Nanliang, and occupied Jinling!
But Jinling has such a great reputation.
Whether it is Liu Song, Southern Qi or Soochow, even if they compete with each other, they still focus part of their attention on Jinling City. To prevent the Ming Dynasty from becoming stronger.
If when the Ming Dynasty came, it had not chosen to occupy Jinling, but to the west or east, it might have grown rapidly and become the top overlord of one side.
Whenever there is a gain, there is also a loss. It can only be said that blocking Zhu Biao's choice has caused the current dilemma of the Ming army.
Xu Da had a square appearance and a resolute expression. He looked as usual and said with a smile: "The Xia army does have the upper hand, but our army is not weak. It will not be easy for the other side to go south to capture Jinling!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xu Da.
It's not that easy, which means that the opponent can still capture Jinling, but it will take more effort... Xu Da also meant this.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a stickler for words.
He looked as normal and said with a smile: "Our current strength is indeed not as good as that of Xia Jun, but we are weak and weak. Xia Jun has just captured a large territory in the east and destroyed Chen Baxian in Lujiang River!"
"In a short period of time, we must stabilize the internal affairs and sort out government affairs. We will not go south for at least a year!"
"Just in time, let's take advantage of this time to stabilize Xuancheng first. We will kill what needs to be killed and let go of what needs to be killed. We will spread out the fields in Xuancheng and save food and grass in preparation for the war!"
"There is also the Song army in the south. The Xia army is powerful. I believe they also feel the threat. Yang Shiqi, go to Hangzhou in person and persuade Zhao Yu to form an alliance with us. If we can defeat the Xia army, we will take over the territories of Soochow and Liu Song." Not an inch! Give it all to them!”
Yang Shiqi quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I accept your order!"
Among the important central ministers of the Ming Dynasty, only Xu Da and Li Wenzhong could be used. After all, Yang Shiqi and Zhang Huangyan were not ninth-level civil servants. In terms of top civil servants, the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to the Xia Dynasty.
Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Guangyang... these top civil servants who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty have now become Wang Jing's ministers.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang knew this and was not angry or panicked.
Isn't it because there are no top civil servants? He is full of energy and personally handles all military and government affairs. He only rests for three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent on government affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself was a top strategic master in the army, capable of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops. In terms of government affairs, one person could rival several prime ministers...
If there were no talents, Zhu Yuanzhang would do it himself, and Zhu Biao could also share some of the burden, and then slowly promote and train his ministers.
Anyway, he is a power maniac, and he enjoys Daming's current situation.
"Not long ago, the world changed greatly. The shackles of the ninth-level realm have been broken. The famous ministers and generals of those realms will also come. If the Song Army can have a few more strong men, our army and the Song Army will join forces to compete with Xia Xia. The ability of the army!”
Zhang Huangyan thought to himself.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty was a bit weak, historically it was able to use a corner of the south to compete with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, which occupied most of the world. After decades of stubborn resistance, there were still many good generals.
Of course, if Yue Fei can show up in advance, it would be best to become the coach of Song Army.
In this case, with Yue Fei leading the alliance army, Xia's army would not be afraid even if there were millions of people.
As for the fact that famous ministers and generals from other dynasties came to join the Ming army. Zhang Huangyan didn't even think about it.
The only people who can join the Ming Dynasty are the generals who have been the generals of the Ming Dynasty in history and whose results are barely acceptable.
Such as Qi Jiguang, Yu Daqiu...
However, when Zhang Huangyan thought of these two names, he still felt guilty for Ming Dynasty, because both Qi Jiguang and Yu Daqiu died in depression, and they had some opinions about Ming Dynasty.
The famous generals of the Ming Dynasty include Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong in the late Ming Dynasty! Apart from Zheng Chenggong who might come to defect to these two people, Li Dingguo didn't dare to come at all.
Li Dingguo, known as the Pillar of the South and the last famous general of the Ming Dynasty, followed Zhang Xianzhong and burned Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang’s character. He will definitely keep this in mind and sooner or later it will explode. He is not Cao Cao's kind of person who can laugh away his grudges just for the sake of hegemony.
"Alas! I hope Song Jun can agree to form an alliance!"
Zhang Huangyan sighed in his heart.
…
As Zhu Yuanzhang said, after ascending the throne, the first thing Wang Jing had to deal with was the territory he had just captured.
Whether it is the lands of Soochow, Liu Song, and Southern Qi in the south, or the lands such as Liuhe, Chuzhou, and Lujiang captured from Chen Baxian, they are all extremely vast.
At present, Xia Jun only occupies the main cities in these territories.
In addition to the main cities, there are also a large number of forts and cottages that are not under the jurisdiction of the government, as well as a large number of rioters and refugees.
For this reason, Xia's army had hundreds of thousands of elite troops stationed at strategic points in various places, and many soldiers were stationed in various cities. It held back less than half of Xia Jun's strength.
Royal Palace, Qinzheng Hall.
The palace where Wang Jing is located is a newly built palace, which has a different style from Guiyan Palace. At this time, Guiyan Palace has become the exclusive place of the harem.
The place where government affairs were handled and court meetings were held was moved to the nearby palace.
Inside the palace.
The fragrance was lingering, Wang Jing was wearing loose clothes, looking at the memorials sent from various provinces, as well as the urgent requests for instructions from the guards of the newly captured territory.
In the new land, there were many things to do, and the guards in various places did not dare to make the decision on many matters, so they could only rush them to Yangzhou.
