Qinghe City, this city is adjacent to Shanyang and is the transportation hub of the Huaihe Canal. The city is very prosperous, with at least 600,000 to 700,000 people living here.
In normal history, the only cities that could accommodate 500,000 people were the capitals of the Great Unification Dynasty and a few Yangzhou, Xiangyang or Yizhou... cities with a population of 200,000 could be called big cities. .
But in the world of China, the capitals of major dynasties accommodate at least a million people, or even more. The capitals of provinces and counties have a population of about 500,000.
Calculated in this way, there are many cities in the world of China that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. However, cities like Qinghe that are not the capital but can accommodate 600,000 to 700,000 people are relatively rare.
On the streets, people were coming and going, including merchants from all over the world and people seeking a living at the canal docks. At this moment.
Groups of powerful soldiers came with long spears and forcibly opened up a passage in the busy street. There were already many people on the street. After being squeezed to both sides, they suddenly looked like warriors with swords. Ugly.
"The elite cleared the way and blocked the long street...what a huge scene!"
Someone couldn't help but say. His words aroused the recognition of many people around him.
Who is this? With such a big air, is he the magistrate of Qinghe County? As soon as this idea appeared in everyone's mind, they immediately dismissed it. The county magistrate seemed to have a lot of power in Qinghe, but the location of Qinghe was more important, and I don't know how many eyes were staring at it.
A small county magistrate dares to command his soldiers to stage such a scene, and he is afraid that he will be dismissed from his post the next day. The doubts in their hearts did not stay for long.
soon.
Six horses pulled a huge and luxurious chariot slowly. On both sides of the chariot were escorts on horseback by guerrilla generals stationed near Qinghe. The prefect of Shanyang led the way with whips, and groups of guards held canopy flags and surrounded them. He drove the carriage towards the south of the city.
"Your Majesty's Dragon Chase! This is His Majesty's Dragon Chase. I have been to Jinling and seen His Majesty's carriage travel. It can't be wrong! This must be His Majesty's patrol in Qinghe!"
Someone who has been to Jinling exclaimed.
The six-horse chariot, the typical emperor's guard of honor, plus those very obvious canopy flags, many people reacted immediately. The news spread quickly.
"Long live!"
But after many people knew that His Majesty the Emperor came to Qinghe in person, they didn't know who took the lead, shouted long live and knelt down to worship. Like waves, many people knelt down and shouted to express their respect and love for His Majesty the Emperor.
The Great Xia founded by Wang Jing has only been a few years since its official founding, but his majesty and the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty have been firmly rooted in this land from top to bottom.
This is a manifestation of Wang Jing's insistence on implementing various policies that are friendly to the people at the bottom day after day. Now the people of Daxia have become united. Although they are not united, if there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, with a little mobilization, a large number of people will come out to support Daxia. Xia's militia and rebels.
After the emperor's chariot passed by, the people on the street stood up in great excitement.
"Your Majesty has so many things to do, why did he suddenly come to Qinghe on patrol? Could it be that something big happened in Qinghe that we don't know about?" After the excitement, some people subconsciously became curious.
There was no way, Wang Jing came too suddenly.
It's not that Wang Jing never visited places on patrol, but every time he went on patrol, he brought tens of thousands of personal guards and many civil and military officers with him. Many people knew the emperor's patrol route. This kind of tour is the formal procedure for the emperor to go out.
But this time Wang Jing came suddenly, and it was like a private visit in Bailong Yufu or incognito, which was a certain risk.
Well, although with Wang Jing's strength, basically no one in Daxia can threaten his life, but for the king of a country, the emperor who is responsible for the fate of hundreds of millions of creatures, a one in ten thousand risk is also a risk.
There is only one reason why I can "adventure" to come to Qinghe, and that is that something big happened in Qinghe.
Many people were curious and inquired about the situation through connections. His Majesty the Emperor did not hide his identity, which meant that the matter was not dangerous and they would not violate any taboos by inquiring.
As expected, just as they had guessed, they soon found out why His Majesty came to Qinghe.
reason. "Weapon Immortal Han Xin?"
"Your Majesty came to Qinghe to personally invite Han Xin to the court? This is really a big deal!" After finding out the news, many people became even more excited and uproared.
You know, Qinghe was called Huaiyin during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and this is Han Xin’s hometown! Although the world has changed since arriving in China, the people, scholars, officials and wealthy businessmen of Qinghe City still have feelings for their hometown.
They already regard Qinghe as their hometown.
Han Xin, the most famous military immortal who was born in Huaiyin, was their township party. Before Han Xin appeared, many Qinghe people spoke with admiration and respect when they mentioned Han Xin.
When generals such as Fu Youde, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui were invincible, every time the people of Qinghe mentioned them, they would talk about Han Xin with some disdain. In their hearts, these famous generals could not be compared with Han Xin.
If Han Xin were a general of the Xia Army, his performance in leading the army would definitely be more brilliant than these famous generals. Today, their long-held dream finally came true.
The soldier Han Xin appeared in Qinghe, and His Majesty the Emperor traveled thousands of miles to personally invite him and showed his respect... As long as everyone heard this, they would never think that Han Xin would refuse.
In other words, Han Xin will soon become the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Okay! What a great news. General Han will be able to command the army and be invincible when he enters the court! I heard that the court is recruiting new soldiers. I must sign up this time. It is best to be under General Han!"
Many local officials in Qinghe, children of wealthy families, and those with some ability had such thoughts in their hearts. There are some so-called genius disciples whose strength has reached the third level and have not even participated in martial arts competitions.
But after hearing Han Xin's name, he was willing to participate in the recruitment just to become a soldier under Han Xin! For no other reason than the Immortal of War, when he uses his troops, he never loses.
Being Han Xin's subordinate, you will definitely not be defeated and die. When you are running for your life in a panic, this alone can give the many warriors who join the army a 30 to 40% chance of saving their lives.
Just as the locals of Jinling Gaoxi, Liu Bowen and Qinghe thought.
After Wang Jing showed enough respect, and Han Xin himself had the intention to join Daxia, he went in both directions, and Wang Jing invited the other party without any surprises.
Han Xin's home.
Wang Jing and Han Xin chatted happily.
After Han Xin expressed his willingness to serve for him, Wang Jing was extremely excited and couldn't help laughing. He said with a smile: "I have General Han to help me, so there is no need to worry about failing to achieve my great cause!"
"When I return to Jinling, I will immediately summon all the officials and appoint the general as the general of chariots and cavalry!"
"In the future, I will march north to the Central Plains and compete with the heroes of the world. I leave it to the general!" General Chariot and Cavalry!
This title is not ordinary. Of course, within the Great Xia Dynasty, the Chariot and Cavalry General has the same status as Yue Fei's Shenwu General. However, the Chariot and Cavalry General has been the most important general in all major dynasties since the Han Dynasty. In the minds of many people, this is an orthodox title.
The Shenwu General sounds a bit meaningless, and is not as significant as the Chariot General.
As soon as Han Xin arrived, Wang Jing was ready to confer him the title of general, just like Yue Fei's practice. And he also had to directly mobilize large armies and entrust him with important tasks. Yue Fei and Han Xin are both among the top ten famous generals in history, but their personalities are different.
Han Xin's pride was extraordinary. Historically, when he defected to Liu Bang, all those who held the official position of school lieutenant abandoned their positions because they were unable to display their talents. It wasn't until Liu Bang sealed the stage to pay homage to the general and gave him military power that he was recruited.
Yue Fei could climb up from the bottom step by step and had enough patience. Wang Jing appointed him as a general, but he himself refused. He only took over the position of general after he had made great achievements.
If it were Han Xin, would Wang Jing dare to let him try to get promoted from the bottom through meritorious service? The next day after doing this, Han Xin will disappear because he is not taken seriously and cannot display his talents...
Only by entrusting important responsibilities, giving authority, and showing enough respect from the beginning can Han Xin truly join. "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"
Han Xin stood up and held his hands
He said, with absolute confidence in himself in his words.
"By the way, titles in the military should not be given lightly without merit. The general has just joined the army, so I don't want to break the rules... With the ability of the general, I will be able to sweep thousands of armies in the future. The position of prince is vacant! "
"No, with General Han's ability, it will be easy to become the county king..." Wang Jing said with a smile on his face.
Although Han Xin was proud and had negative political abilities, he had grown a lot after suffering the consequences.
Hearing Wang Jing's words at this time, he immediately said: "My Majesty entrusted me with an important task when I first came, and granted you the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry. This is already the most benevolent and righteous thing. How can I dare to be greedy and ask for a generous title?"
"What's more, you won't receive a title in the military without merit. Just as His Majesty said, I will be confident that I will sweep the Central Plains for Your Majesty and wipe out powerful enemies for the Great Xia. After my achievements are completed, I will not be too late to confer a title!"
Han Xin has learned a lesson and will no longer take the initiative to ask the monarch for a title... The status of prince is only true if the emperor takes the initiative to grant it. If a minister takes the initiative to ask for a title, that is called coercion!
No monarch can tolerate this kind of behavior that offends the majesty and authority of the king. From this point of view, it is not without reason that Han Xin later became miserable. Even wise kings like Ying Zheng, Liu Che, and Li Shimin wouldn't be able to tolerate this.
Moreover, Han Xin was already very satisfied with his treatment and the authority he was given. He had just been named a general and could command an army. If he was still not satisfied, there was no way he could justify it.
Wang Jing laughed, very satisfied with Han Xin's confidence.
With the two great generals Yue Fei and Han Xin in hand, the Great Xia Dynasty will be completely stable. Even if they cannot achieve a complete victory when marching north to the Central Plains in the future, relying on the abilities of these two great generals, they can still protect the army and avoid a major defeat.
In other words, the two of them have become Daxia’s bottom line! ...
Soon, the news of Han Xin's arrival in Xia spread to all directions.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden, and Wang Jing has no intention of hiding it.
Anyway, the news of Han Xin's appearance in the future will spread throughout China. At this time, hiding the news and treating Han Xin as a secret weapon is just superfluous and has no meaning.
Making this matter public would also increase Daxia's prestige, and Han Xin himself did not want to remain anonymous. So the news spread wider and wider. Wait until Wang Jing and Han Xin return to Jinling.
The news has spread to the Central Plains and Hebei.
The value of one person, such as Yue Fei and Han Xin, who are among the top ten in history, is equivalent to an army of one million, or even more important than an army of one million.
After all, many dynasties can still do it by mobilizing their best troops and gritting their teeth to expand an army of millions. However, Yue Fei and Han Xin, who are among the most famous generals in the origin world's thousands of years of history, cannot succeed just by recruiting them.
Sun Wu Han Bai, Wei Huo and Li Yue, each of them is a strategic force that can instantly increase the strength of a dynasty. It can even affect a certain general trend of the world.
Whether in the history of later generations or in the current Chinese world, the role of top historical generals is so great!
For example, Sun Wu entered Wu and trained troops for the King of Wu. After three battles and three victories, he captured the capital of Chu in one fell swoop. Let Wu replace Chu and become the dominant power in the south.
There is also Wu Qi, who is both civil and military, integrating military, law, and Confucianism. When he trained Wei soldiers in the Wei State, he was able to defeat the Qin army with 50,000 soldiers and defeated the Qin army with 500,000 soldiers, making the Wei State the overlord during the Warring States Period. He worked for the Chu State to implement reforms and made the Chu State drink from the Yellow River...
Sun Wu is called the Soldier Sage and the Sub-sage, and he is well-deserved. He is also a typical example of top generals influencing the general trend of the world. The Great Xia Dynasty had the Martial Saint Yue Fei, who was already powerful enough.
Now that Han Xin, the military immortal, has been sent out, many dynasties are immediately wary, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is adjacent to Daxia, including Cao Wei who was besieged in Bianliang, and they are even more prepared for Daxia.
Jinling Palace.
Accompanied by the solemn sound of drum music, under the watchful eyes of the ministers from the three provinces in the palace.
Wang Jing officially conferred the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry on Han Xin.
There is once again a top-ranking general in the Daxia army! In fact, once Han Xin arrived, his status surpassed 99% of the military generals, and he could rank in the top five or even the top three in the army.
There is also no objection to this situation.
After all, there has been an example of Yue Fei before, coupled with the name of the Soldier Immortal, he is famous all over the world. Just based on his name, no one will be dissatisfied. After the canonization ceremony.
Wang Jing summoned his close ministers, plus Han Xin, who had just defected, to discuss the situation in the north at the Qinzheng Hall. When Yue Fei conquered Changsha.
Many major events have occurred in the Central Plains and Hebei.
For example, after Zhu Di of the Northern Ming Dynasty had just captured the cities and counties in northern Hebei, he immediately mobilized Li Mu Lianpo and led his elite troops south to seize other areas of the Yan Kingdom, which caused great friction with Ran Wei.
Ran Min also gathered an army and went to war with the allies who had just joined forces to drive away Xiang Yu... A war would break out at any time between the two sides, and once a war broke out, it would be the opportunity to determine the overlord of Hebei.
The land of the Central Plains.
Bianliang was constantly besieged by the Han army and was also on the verge of being broken. According to reports from Daxia's spies in the Central Plains, Cao Cao had actually abandoned Bianliang and transported many of Bianliang's people and resources away.
Bianliang is in the area of the Fourth War, and there is no danger to defend around it. To be able to hold off the Han army for such a long time is already an extraordinary feat for Cao Cao...
