Daxia had already formed a process on how to consolidate the acquired territory. It first divided the administrative regions, dividing the Central Plains and Qingqi into provinces and counties, and then sent officials to settle the areas.
At the same time, guard troops and patrolling troops were dispatched to various parts of the town to suppress local tyrants and mountain bandits whose interests were harmed and refused to obey Daxia's control.
After using soldiers and horses to plow all the places, they would then count the farmland, organize households and people, and distribute the fields to households. After completing this set of actions, the Central Plains and Qingqi lands were basically stable.
Those people who miss the Han in their hearts will gradually accept the reality.
However, it will take more than half a year to suppress and pacify various places. This is still initially stable. If you want to completely digest the Central Plains, you will not be able to do it in two or three years.
Of course, as long as the Central Plains can be initially stabilized, Wang Jing can continue to send troops.
"I believe that the land of Qingqi should be divided into two roads, the Denglai Road to the east of Qingzhou, and the Qingyan Road to the west of Qingzhou... As for the Central Plains, it can be divided into Henan Road, Ruying Road, and Shannan Road!"
Gao Xi made suggestions.
Although the Central Plains and Qingqi lands are among the divine states and are densely populated sacred lands, their territory is not as large as imagined. The Qingqi lands are centered on Qingzhou.
To the east are Dengzhou, Laizhou and part of Qingzhou. There are many ferries along the coast. Two or three provinces can be divided. As for the administrative office, it was located in Qingzhou.
Although Qingyan Road has part of Qingzhou's land, it mainly governs Jinan, Yanzhou, Dongchang and other places, and its administrative seat is located in Jinan.
The division of the Central Plains is also very simple, with Luoyang, Bianliang and Nanyang as the core. Three roads were divided, and the three big cities were the administrative offices.
Except for the Central Plains.
Xiangyang, which was captured by the West Route Army, was set as Xiangyang Province and divided into Jingchu Road, without a separate road.
"Well, it seems reasonable from the map. After the discussion is over, I will send this suggestion to Aurous Ling and let the great scholars of the Privy Council review it. If they have no objection, we will divide it according to this!"
Wang Jing looked at the map and had no objection.
"If you think about it this way, I have opened up a total of five roads and one province on my way north this time. The original ten roads of Daxia have directly become the fifteen roads of Daxia! Your Majesty, within one year, defeated two major provinces in succession. The dynasty monopolizes the Central Plains."
"It has been said since ancient times that whoever conquers the Central Plains conquers the world. Now His Majesty has been blessed with destiny and is incomparable!"
Gao Xi added immediately, with an even bigger smile on his face.
There were also Yu Yunwen, Liu Bowen, Yue Fei, Han Xin, Fu Youde, Xie Hui... After hearing this, they also laughed out loud. The atmosphere is very harmonious.
Wang Jing said with a smile: "That's a bit too much. Our army won a great victory this time because of the bloody battles of the generals and lieutenants, such as General Han Xin. If he hadn't turned the tide, I wouldn't have entered Luoyang. I know how many troops and horses will be lost and how much time will be wasted..."
Han Xin, who was named, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and accepted all the emperor's compliments.
"By the way, after the list of the wounded soldiers and the merit book of the army is completed, show it to me immediately. I will reward the soldiers of the three armies heavily! The meritorious personnel who died in the battle will be honored!"
Wang Jing gave instructions to Yu Yunwen beside him.
This Northern Expedition lasted for a relatively long time, and the number of soldiers and horses dispatched was also unprecedented. Among them, there were countless soldiers and generals who made contributions, and the list of soldiers who died in the battle took time to compile.
The yellow land deeds and tax documents left over from the Eastern Han Dynasty were deliberately burned, requiring scribes to constantly sort out and count them.
Therefore, after the Xia army entered Luoyang, the civil servants in the army fell into a seemingly endless busy schedule.
Wang Jing also sent a special order to Jinling to continue to mobilize officials from the already stable southern provinces and quickly go to Luoyang by speedboat to help deal with the complicated post-war affairs.
Wang Jing is not interested in all kinds of complicated things. He only cares about three points. The most important point is to reward merit and punish demerit.
The soldiers at the bottom don't understand great things. What they need is financial rewards and promotion of official ranks...
You can see and touch the benefits, but you can’t just lift your head.
He worked hard and hard, but in the end the emperor didn't give him anything.
"I understand!"
Yu Yunwen immediately took this matter to heart.
Wang Jing added: "The administrative division of the Central Plains and other places will be left to the Privy Council of Jinling for discussion. However, the establishment of military towns in Qingqi, the Central Plains, needs discussion among you."
"Your Majesty, I believe that three major camps should be established in the Central Plains. Among them, the Jinan camp will guard Qingqi, the Central Plains camp will garrison Bianliang, and the Yellow River will guard the north. The Henan camp will garrison Luoyang to shield Guanzhong."
"Nanyang and Xiangyang should also set up separate military towns to guard Wuguan and isolate the Han River respectively."
After everyone looked at each other, Liu Bowen was the first to speak.
According to his opinion, the Central Plains is easy to attack but difficult to defend, and the vast plains are difficult to defend, so more military towns must be set up. He said that there are still few military towns to be set up.
A Yellow River patrol navy will also be set up on the Yellow River...
In the short term, Li Tang and Guanzhong will not reach out to the Central Plains, but if Daxia does not build the fence well, it will be too late by the time the hungry wolves come.
"Not only that, but also leaving a flying boat army in the Central Plains, which can quickly mobilize soldiers and horses from several camps to support each other!"
Gao Xi added.
"Establish five major camps..."
Wang Jing pondered slightly and had no objection. These places are important areas of Yang. If no large army is left to garrison, it will be like the Liu and Song Dynasties in Yang's history. If there is a slight turmoil in the country, the northern dynasty will take advantage of the situation to occupy all the Central Plains and other places.
It is not easy to conquer the Central Plains, but it is very easy to lose it.
"Among the five major camps, the Henan camp is adjacent to Hangu in the west and Hanoi in the north. It is very important and cannot be guarded by non-generals! General Yue, would you like to serve as the general manager of the Henan camp and concurrently as the deputy governor of Henan Province to help me solve my problems?"
Wang Jing focused on Yue Fei and asked with a smile.
Luoyang, the core of the Central Plains, as Wang Jing said, faced strong enemies in the west and north. If you are not careful, the top generals of the Western Han Dynasty, or the unparalleled generals and military gods of Li Tang, will lead their troops to spy on you.
Only those who are both civil and military, have certain internal affairs capabilities, can train troops, are good at commanding on the battlefield, and have outstanding personal strength can sit in Luoyang and defeat the country by one person.
In the Daxia Dynasty, Yue Fei and Han Xin both had the ability to sit in Luoyang.
However, Han Xin is too aggressive, too egotistical, and has an unruly personality. When he is not leading troops, it is best to let him return to the center.
Yue Fei has a calm and measured personality, and his personal abilities are not to mention.
Of course, Wang Jing regarded him as his first choice.
"General, I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"
Yue Fei stood up and respectfully accepted the order.
He was originally a miscellaneous general, and became the camp commander during the Northern Expedition. However, the title of march commander during the war was only a temporary title and was immediately revoked after the war.
Now Wang Jing gave him two official positions, with full military power and part of the internal affairs authority.
He is an important minister who truly has full authority over one side. If he makes further achievements and returns to the center, he will be directly promoted to the position of privy envoy, a highly respected minister.
Han Xin originally wanted to ask for a job, but seeing that Yue Fei had already accepted the appointment, he had no choice but to think about it.
"You will each recommend the general managers of the other four major camps and submit them in a memorial, and I will select them from among them!"
Wang Jing only appointed the most important Henan camp. The other four camps are of relatively low importance, so there is no harm in leaving them to the ministers for discussion and recommendation.
After all, he, the emperor, cannot be arbitrary. It is still necessary to give some authority to the ministers under his command, so that they can feel more involved in the dynasty and continuously deepen their sense of identification.
It is not a trivial matter to elect the camp director. Only after the discussion is over and the ministers return and continue to discuss according to their own small circles can the candidate be recommended.
Things that Wang Jing did not pay attention to were, for the courtiers of the dynasty, a good opportunity to expand their influence and authority.
…
In December of the eleventh year of Taichu.
Wang Jing has been away from Jinling for a long time and has the desire to return.
During this period, Daxia officials mobilized from the south
They were constantly filled in all parts of the Central Plains, and the surrendered officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty were constantly screened, demoted and retained.
Except for those who needed to return to the south to rest and recuperate, the more than two million elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition were stationed in various places to temporarily act as defenders.
The five major camps established not long ago need to recruit soldiers from all over the Central Plains for training.
Most of Daxia's elite soldiers were from the south. It was impossible for Wang Jing to throw them all to the north and completely separate them from his family and children.
The best way is to protect the country with local people.
However, Henan Xingying is an exception...
December 7th.
Wang Jing took a royal boat to Bianliang. Zhen Mi, who was pregnant, and the Cao Wei clan under guard were all brought to the ship and prepared to follow Wang Jing to Jinling.
He did not stop at Bianliang, and went directly down the river after meeting Zhen Mi and others.
The water waves rolled and formed waves.
After entering the section of the canal, the scenery and qi movement that you see are completely different from those in the Central Plains.
The Central Plains is prosperous and densely populated, but after several years of fierce battles between armies, wars are everywhere, and a layer of murderous intent is always shrouded in the void. Anyone with sensitive senses will be nervous and vigilant subconsciously.
Entering the canal section, the murderous intent in the void quietly disappeared.
Xuzhou has long been included in the territory of Daxia. The flames of war are far away, business is gathered, and most of the people see light in their eyes. This is the light of hope.
Maybe not every common person can live a stable life, and there are also people who are in poverty, but no matter how poor they are, as long as they have hands and feet and are willing to work hard, they can see hope.
On the ship, the captured Han generals Yu Xu, Di Qing, and Duan Jiong, as well as the civil servants of Cao Wei who had not surrendered, all saw these scenes.
Yu Xu was known as a Confucian general. In addition to his ability to command troops, he also had considerable attainments in classics and local governance.
He is closer to a scholar.
A true scholar has a feeling in his heart that he wants to report to the king. His cultivation is restricted, but his eyesight is not affected. After seeing the audacity of the people of Daxia and the light of hope in their eyes, he His expression changed slightly, as if he was touched.
Di Qing was also a little affected, and his expression, which had not changed at first, became a little interested in Daxia.
As for Duan Juan and the other captured generals, they all lowered their gazes, looked at the situation in Daxia, and then withdrew their gazes.
"These generals of the Han army are all outstanding men rarely seen in history. After returning to Jinling, remember to send people to your door to persuade them to join our court as soon as possible..."
Wang Jing noticed these people on the royal boat and gave orders.
Yu Yunwen said: "It shouldn't be difficult to persuade General Di Qing. If General Yu Xu is moved with emotion and reason, he should be able to persuade him, but Duan Jiong... I find it difficult to persuade him!"
Although Duan Juan pursued fame and fortune, he was not a coward who was greedy for life and feared death. In history, he did not hesitate to join the eunuch party for fame, fortune and power, but these were political struggles and were different from military conquests.
As a general, Duan Juan would never beg for mercy from the enemy after his army was defeated. This is his bottom line.
If forced, Duan Ji would rather give up his life.
This kind of person with a strong heart is the hardest to convince. He understands the truth, but he just doesn't want to let it go.
"It doesn't matter, just do your best! Even if you don't want to surrender, I will be lenient and spare his life... After all, he is a rare famous general in history!"
Wang Jing didn't take it seriously and waved his hand casually.
He also believes that sincerity can lead to gold and stone, and he believes in the power of time! Can the other party persist for one or two years, or ten or twenty years?
When Wang Jing plucks the final fruit and becomes the Lord of China, not to mention Duan Juan, even Li Tang, Qin and Han will bow to him.
Yu Yunwen nodded in agreement.
At this time, the sound transmission altar on the imperial boat was activated, and Yu Yunwen immediately went to check the news.
After a while, he returned to report.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Pei Shangshu.
, and asked for orders to return to Jinling! "
Yu Yunwen said.
Pei Ju stayed in Guanzhong for a while and signed an alliance with Qin on behalf of Daxia. However, after the news of the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty came out, Qin's attitude changed somewhat.
The State of Qin, which was far away in the west of Guanzhong, was also wary of Daxia, which was at its peak.
Wang Jing already knew this news.
However, in order to obtain first-hand information about Guanzhong, Pei Ju and Wu Yong stayed in Guanzhong and Hanzhong for a while longer.
Not long ago, Wu Yong received intelligence. After Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhang Fei and others returned to Hanzhong, the Qin army led by Wang Jian was immediately restrained. When several generals from the Eastern Han Dynasty came to support, they even repulsed the Qin army by hundreds. Inside, it reached the mouth of the valley south of Baoxie Road.
When the Shu Han Dynasty sent generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to support Xiangyang, the Eastern Han Dynasty appreciated it.
Although Cen Peng, Jia Fu, Wu Han, Geng Yan and others were more willing to defect to Liu Che, when they learned about the situation in Hanzhong, Jia Fu, Cen Peng and others flew to Hanzhong specifically to support Shu Han.
Shuhan had two more powerful men in the heavenly realm and began to gain an advantage. However, Wang Jian fought steadily, and although he lost a few battles, it did not affect the overall situation.
It will take some time for both sides to decide the outcome.
As for the confrontation between Qin and Han in Guanzhong, as the remaining essence of the Eastern Han Dynasty was incorporated into the Western Han Dynasty, the strength of the Han army was rising rapidly.
Qin watched helplessly as many famous generals and ministers from the Eastern Han Dynasty joined the Western Han Dynasty, which greatly increased the strength of the Western Han Dynasty, but there was nothing they could do.
Wang Jing deduced that within a year, a war would inevitably break out in Guanzhong, and it would be a decisive battle that would affect the growth and decline of the two dynasties...
