Ji Chang's words attracted the attention of everyone around him.
The voice that Liu Yan should be called emperor had long appeared in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Qingzhou had just been fully recovered, and the war with Shijie was not clear. Once again, the most enthusiastic voice of claiming the emperor was that Liu Yan ordered the construction of Yanhuang temple on Mount Tai. After all, once the Yanhuang temple was built, it would compete for the name of zhengshuo.
During the period of worshipping the ancestors of Yanhuang temple in the second year of Yuanshuo, Jichang was supposed to take the lead in encouraging Liu Yan to claim the emperor. The matter was over before it was carried out. At that time, Yao Yizhong led hundreds of thousands of troops into Qingzhou. It was not very appropriate to claim the emperor in the face of a strong invasion.
The claim to the emperor was slowed down for various reasons. The state of Han has always been in a state of war. During the second year of Yuanshuo, Liu Yan was basically on patrol. In the three years of Yuanshuo, it was stable for a few months, but during this period, wars in various places changed again and again, so it was really difficult to claim the title of emperor again.
"Emperor?" Liu Yan heard Ji Chang's temptation on his way to the military camp and said with a bitter smile, "the old soil is only two or three out of ten. What is it about claiming the emperor?"
Although the army of the Han Dynasty has repeatedly opened up and expanded its territory, Youzhou, Liangzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, Bingzhou, ningzhou and the western regions have not been recovered.
Seriously, according to the scale of the twelve states in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the state of Han now has four states. Bingzhou and Heshuo are still in the hands of Zhao state in Shijie. There is Murong Yan state in Youzhou, Li's Chenghan in the West and north of Yizhou, a small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and the south of Yizhou, and Zhang's Liang state in Liangzhou and half of the western regions.
The territory under the current state makes Liu Yan really have no idea of claiming the emperor. He thinks that claiming the emperor on this scale will appear too small, which makes people underestimate. On the one hand, I'm afraid what's more troublesome is that the internal requirements of claiming the emperor will become more complex and troublesome.
Ji Chang spoke out his inner expectations after a long time. When he heard Liu Yan say that, he shut up. He didn't give up, he was thinking about more persuasive language.
According to Liu Yan's real idea, it's not too embarrassing to be emperor until after the destruction of Shijie Zhao state and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As soon as the state of Zhao in Shijie and the small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were destroyed, they also cleaned up Li's Chenghan, and the rest of Zhang's Liang state and murongyan state will be annexed and destroyed step by step.
Back in the barracks, Liu Yangang wanted to have a rest. When he just lay down, Xun Xian reported that ran min asked for an audience.
Ran min came to see him for nothing else. He must know the answer to Zhao Guoqiu's peace in Shijie from Liu Yan.
Shi Hu sent his men to Linzi through the war zone in January of the fourth year of Yuanshuo and proposed a truce between the two countries. The two sides took their respective controlled areas as the border line.
When receiving Shi Hu's mission, the state of Han still did not stop military action, but did not give a clear refusal. Shi Hu regarded Liu Yan's behavior as negotiable, and later sent several new missions, the latest one on the side of Xiang.
The last wave of Shijie envoys presented their new credentials and accepted the fact of defeat. At the same time, they determined the delivery of the existing territory of the Han state on the legal principle and promised that the two sides would not fight again after the truce. They could follow the example of the marriage between the Xiongnu and the Han Empire and enter into the non aggression friendship.
Do the Han Empire and the Huns have any friendly past? It's true that there was a honeymoon period. During the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu did not go south for several years, but the Han Empire married a princess and gave a huge dowry to the Xiongnu as the Kan family. The two sides also set up expeditions at the border to exchange needed goods.
What is Shi Hu's psychology? There is no need to speculate here in the Han Dynasty. Liu Yan didn't know what credentials Shijie's last mission carried. He didn't reply to Shi Hu. The reason is very simple. There is no need for both sides to talk at all.
"Forever." Liu Yan looked at ran min in his regular clothes and said bluntly, "Han Jie does not stand side by side. What we have to do is eliminate, completely eliminate and leave no one."
Ran min immediately showed a pure smile like a child. He liked Liu Yan's words not only because of his humiliation, but also because he was willing to destroy more Hu people as a contemporary person with more or less Han nationalist mentality.
"Anyone who is hostile to a big man, as a martial arts man, is destroyed one by one with a knife and gun in his hand." Liu Yan never beat around the bush when talking to ran min, mainly because he was afraid that ran min could not understand or misunderstood: "the mission of the Northern Expedition Corps is to go north until the few ordered to stop."
"I see." Ran min seemed extremely excited. He had military power and was not short of materials. As a war maniac, he should feel excited and excited. He suddenly restrained his excitement and rarely hesitated: "I heard some remarks about army expansion."
The number of personnel under the establishment of the Northern Expedition Corps expanded to nearly 400000. About 100000 were the original establishment, and the rest were incorporated and recruited in the recovery area. Three to four tenths of the soldiers in the Guangfu district who were admitted to the Northern Expedition corps were unorganized people, and the rest were actually some families, giants and so on.
There is absolutely no misunderstanding that the Northern Expedition Regiment under ran min is regarded as another begging army. It refers to the structure of most sources of troops, including uniforms, weapons and so on.
Liu Yan had no opinion about the complexity of the Northern Expedition Corps. Improper operation was the rise of a military group. Naturally, he was not afraid of extermination after accidents, but the country was bound to have great turbulence.
Apart from the fact that more than 100000 soldiers and armours were sufficient, the newly incorporated troops were only nominally under the establishment of the Northern Expedition Corps. In addition to the supply of military grain, the center did not provide robes and weapons. Ran min asked the center for a variety of reasons.
"I gave you the power to expand your army." Liu Yan put away his smile and said expressionless, "the expansion of the army is far faster than few people expected."
"You can't say that, your majesty." Ran min put on a reasonable look and said, "it's better for the country to take control of the situation than to have no organization and discipline, isn't it?"
It makes sense. The problem is that Liu Yan can't admit it. He quietly looks at ran min and makes a gesture waiting for explanation.
Ran min is not a good speaker. He was seen as a little embarrassed. He was silent for a little while before he said, "yes, the expansion of the minister is too fast. The minister once called the king. How much will make the king doubt, but the minister has no second heart."
Liu Yan frowned and had to admit that ran min was ran min and could say anything. Other people would never say such words.
"Yes, I'm not just taking in Han people..." ran min blushed a little and took a few breaths. Then he continued embarrassedly: "I also took in many foreign nationalities."
This is what is worth studying. On the one hand, ran min hates Hu people, but on the other hand, he is willing to accept Hu people for his own use. He has to be a realist, that is, anyone who can be used by him doesn't care about his origin at all.
It's no secret that ran min accepted the Hu people. His method is to let the Hu people change their Han surname and join the army as slave soldiers. They can be sent to where they are most likely to die. If they survive, they can be transferred until they become a real Han soldier. It's all right.
Liu Yan is happy to integrate the Hu people actively rather than passively. Although the Han people talk about lineage, they also talk about cultural identity. It should be clear that the era when everything depends on manpower can make more people who recognize themselves as Han people. I believe no ruler will refuse.
"The minister recruited Hu Zhong to drive them to work hard. He has no other intention." Ran min began to appear righteous: "if you can die less, you can die less. It's a very cost-effective thing to let the alien fight hard."
Ran min's starting point is still not wrong. The wrong place is that he did not explain it to the Central Committee. No wonder Liu Yan is not at ease. The central officials are also extremely wary of Ran min.
"Yongzeng..." Liu Yan was very melancholy. So far, ran min had not found out the facts. He reminded him, "have you forgotten anything?"
Ran min was stunned and whispered, "what do you forget?"
I don't know whether the recruits behind the Northern Expedition Corps can't help it or don't care at all. When they are incorporated, there are very few records. The establishment is so chaotic that it doesn't look like an army. Otherwise, how can it be described as "another begging army"?
The Qi Huo army is a fierce group of people who gather together to survive. A very small number of core elites will have a clear organizational system, and more will have leaders without officers. As a result, no one knows the specific number of Qi Huo army, and the operation depends on a sense of bravery.
Be reasonable. According to ran min's military accomplishment, we shouldn't ignore the establishment of the army, but things really happened. Without an explanation, Liu Yan can't think more, and the center will have bad ideas.
It was Liu Yan's repeated tips that ran min finally woke up.
"That's chaos." Ran min began to reason again: "after going north, there is no day without war. People come all the time. There is an extreme lack of literate people in the army. It's not that they don't do it, but that they can't do it."
Liu Yan turned his head to one side and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
To make a very ugly remark, in terms of the current literacy rate, not necessarily one in a thousand people can read. Literacy alone is not enough. The military hierarchy has its own process, which is related to organization and control. The simple point is order, which is a luxury in xinguangfu district.
"In addition to the original establishment..." Liu Yan looked at ran min again and asked brightly, "is there a problem with the registration of other transfers?"
The Northern Expedition Corps is now relatively open. Huguan and Hukou pass need to directly put pressure on Zhao Jun in Shijie. Jizhou direction is also deployed with the callback of Lvtai Corps. It is not a simple thing to transfer.
"You are the king. What you say is what you say." Ran min didn't hide his exclusion. He may feel that it's not good to speak like this. It's hard to explain later: "there's no problem with transfer, just afraid of accidents."
Liu Yan tried very hard to control his cheeks from twitching. He is a man who knows ran min. he is a bohemian real man with iron blood. He may not think much about what he says, just out of his most real needs.
"South tune, how to tune..." Liu Yan pulled an ending, tried hard to hide his dislike, and continued: "that's your business."
"Oh, not all the South tune at once." Ran min immediately showed a happy smile and said, "if the king says so, I will have a spectrum in my heart."
Liu Yan and central officials pay attention to whether ran min is willing to order those newly recruited to transfer to the south. That is a matter of attitude and mentality. It is more important for ran min to accept orders than anything.
Xun Xian, who has been standing on one side to record, listened and envied ran min uncontrollably. It's nothing. He envies Liu Yan's attitude towards ran min. The King is willing to talk with his ministers... Especially the generals who command the army. In addition to love, they can only be explained by maintenance.
People in the south of the Yangtze River have never had a good impression of Ran min, and people in the Central Plains have a polarized attitude towards ran min. The so-called polarization is to worship to the extreme and disgust to the extreme. The distinction is whether it has been taken care of by ran min and whether it has been suppressed.
The conversation between Liu Yan and ran min just sets a tone. Later, Prime Minister Ji Chang will specially formulate the details with ran min.
Ran min left Wang Zhang and went straight to Jichang's tent. He saw people coming and going outside the account, and after entering, he saw a place full of papers.
When the king goes out on a tour, the team that governs the country is also out. Of course, the local memorial is sent to the Xingyuan.
At present, paper has not been widely used. Most of them use wooden calf brands and bamboo slips, and a small amount of silk cloth, which leads to the fact that Jichang's account is really full of things.
Jichang saw ran min stop the workstation and sat down after saluting each other.
Prime Minister Zuo was in charge of military affairs. Ji Chang didn't get to the point at the first time. He personally listened to the war process against Shijie Zhao state from ran min.
When it comes to the military, ran min had a clear mind and concise language. He soon made it clear what to say. Finally, he brought up the business: "the king wants the new troops to be transferred to the south. Min means to transfer the unused troops to the south in batches according to the actual needs."
Ji Chang nodded approvingly.
At present, the Northern Expedition Corps is dealing with a very large theater, spanning more than 900 Li from west to East, from Youzhou in the east to Binzhou in the West. The main front is Shangdang County in Binzhou and Fanyang County in Youzhou. The most troops are stationed in the above party counties, and Fanyang County is only deployed.
"Murong Xianbei delivered from Shijie to Youzhou, and the temporary action is not big." Ji Chang said something about the national level. The story was not detailed. He mainly mentioned that Murong Yanguo also had the intention of a truce. When the topic changed, he suddenly asked: "the soldiers recruited by the general of the northern expedition, those powerful and families still maintain control over the armed forces?"
Ran min was very sensitive, his eyes were sharp, his face was stiff, and he replied, "HMM."
... split... Cut... Line
The last chapter was the chaos of the green forest. I was confused and wrote it as the chaos of the Yellow nest.
