Chapter 511

Nowadays, there are more than one small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Shi Hu resumed his title in the third year of Yuanshuo. However, compared with the small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was the emperor after usurping Cao Wei, it is reasonable for Shi Hu, as a Hu people, to claim the title of emperor in most areas of the Central Plains, but Shi Hu only occupies Binzhou and Shuozhou.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after Chu suanzi came down with the small emperor, his clan and all civil and military officials, legally speaking, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, so only Shi Hu is left to be the emperor in the eastern continent, and the rest of the countries are the kingdom of the king, not the Empire of the emperor.

In fact, even being an emperor is not necessarily an empire. An empire is a powerful and invincible country. It can easily destroy a country's strong strength with one blow, such as the Western Han Dynasty, which could easily destroy countries such as South Vietnam, Fujian Vietnam, Ailao and Yelang, and Rome, which regarded the Mediterranean Sea as an inland sea, Even the Sabbath (Parthia), which occupies half of Central Asia and South Asia, is also an empire, while the kusana appears to be an empire, but in fact it can only be regarded as a powerful Dynasty.

The heavenly king is a noble position established by the Hu people on the king. After shile occupied most of the Central Plains, some great Confucianism persuaded him to become the emperor. However, although he was illiterate, he was a very reasonable person. He felt that he was stronger than the ordinary king, but he was still afraid of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After thinking about it, he called himself the heavenly king.

In addition to shile as the heavenly king, Shihu is the second Hu people also known as the heavenly king. If history does not change, Murong Kai, the son of Murong Zhuang, will follow Shihu as the heavenly king. Murong Yu succeeded to the throne after Murong Zhuang died. He first took over as king Yan and later named himself king of heaven. However, he became emperor in 352 ad. The other heavenly king is ran min, but ran min was not granted the title until after his death by Murong Yan state. The reason is that after ran min's death, there was a severe drought in the Central Plains and locusts were rampant. He was granted the title of wudiao heavenly king only after the proposal of some great Confucians and monks.

It is impossible for ran min to be the king of heaven again in his life. The road to get the king is tortuous and firmly convinced. It is not how exclusive Liu Yan is, but that ran Min has to make unimaginable contributions.

"The puppet Dynasty perished, and Shijie withdrew its troops from the eastern capital." When ran min came to Xiangguo again, he couldn't hide his disappointment and bad luck: "the ministers waved their troops to pursue, and the Hu prisoners scattered on the North Bank of Fenshui, so he had to occupy Zhongdu and stop."

The news of the demise of the small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty spread very fast, which was known by all countries before and after. The counterattack of Zhao and Murong Yan in Shijie was based on the premise that the Han army was involved in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As long as the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty can persist, the two countries really have a foundation for counterattack.

"No one expected that the small imperial court would perish so soon." Liu Yan didn't expect it to last for several years. After all, there are many mountains and waterways in the south. It's really not so easy to fight. He said: "the small imperial court asked for surrender. The news spread to Bingzhou and Youzhou. Shijie and Murong Xianbei only know that the big Han easily destroyed the small imperial court and should hesitate to be deterred by the strength of our army."

Murong Yan state has not solved the war in Eastern Liaoning. The Yan army preparing to attack Jizhou from Youzhou is dominated by Murong Jun and Murong Ke as deputy general. There are nearly 100000 Murong Xianbei people and their remaining servants in the army and slave army. Nearly 70000 of them fought on the Koguryo front with the Koguryo army led by the Han Army, the baiji army, the Silla army, the armies of the Japanese islands and Fuyu tribes. In addition, thirty or forty thousand Murong Yan troops are also involved in Xianbei grassland and mountains.

In a word, Murong Yanguo has no less battle front than Han state, and Murong Yanguo is only a land of two states, which shows that Murong Xianbei is still very strong.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished too quickly. Whether the Han army was strong or the small imperial court was too weak, it was great bad news for Shijie Zhao state and murongyan state. The direct result was that the counter attack became tiger head and snake tail.

"Shijie will recover. If you can fight, fight. If you can't fight, retreat and avoid." Ran Min said with a gloomy face, "in this way, the war will last for a long time."

It is quite reasonable to say that the war with Shijie state of Zhao will last for a long time. Even if the Han state attacks Bingzhou at any cost, there is also an unusually vast Shuozhou with grassland. More importantly, the possibility of the Han state attacking at any cost is decreasing.

"I heard that the princesses of the court Zhang stopped fighting?" It was because of this news that ran min hurried to Xiangguo: "Shijie is so weak, Murong Xianbei has enemies everywhere, which is the time for the Great Han to wipe out at one stroke. How can the war stop?"

The Han state began to expand its territory on a large scale in the second year of Yuanshuo, and restored most of the old land of the Han family in the fourth year of Yuanshuo. However, only Qingzhou is able to recover its vitality, and all the remaining counties are waiting for prosperity.

At present, the Han state under Liu Yan's rule is actually very abnormal. Qingzhou can produce benefits, and the tax contributions of other states and counties are almost nil. The country's output is worrying. It supports more than a million troops. If Liu Yan hadn't had golden fingers, he couldn't sustain it at all.

To be clear, even if Liu Yan has golden fingers, most of the early accumulation has been consumed. Then, the country really can't do this. It is really urgent to restore people's livelihood and production everywhere.

"Yongzeng, the small imperial court surrendered, but it doesn't mean that Han soil is all south of the Yangtze River." Liu Yan explained patiently: "our army seized Jiankang, all armies continued to advance to the south, aristocratic families around the country were still resisting, and the war in the South did not end because of the surrender of the small imperial court."

In fact, that's true. Although Sima's family is a royal family, it is only a signboard. The south of the Yangtze River has long been the current situation of door valve and aristocratic family autonomy. The Han state forced the aristocratic families, powerful and powerful families to buy land, and the family Dingkou should also be fully registered. If this policy is not changed, there will be local forces of desperate resistance. Of course, the Han army will kill them one place after another.

"Fortunately for the Han Dynasty, the small court surrendered and lost its righteousness. The people were eager for it because of the national policy of the Han Dynasty, and local aristocratic families and giants could not get more support." Liu Yan pondered for a moment and continued: "Rao is so. It will take time for the Great Han to completely extinguish those forces that refuse to obey."

Xu Zheng is still his general for the southern expedition and is responsible for commanding the army to eliminate any dissatisfaction. The deep-rooted forces of the Han family only need to target the dissatisfied aristocratic families and giants. The more he goes south, the more complex it becomes. The reason is that ZhuYue and Zhuman are entrenched everywhere.

As a firm believer in Han nationalism, Liu Yan wants to solve ZhuYue and Zhuman who have plagued the Han nation for thousands of years at one time, complete the great cause that the first emperor failed to complete, and kill, integrate and expel all ZhuYue and Zhuman. However, it will take longer. How long it will be depends solely on the toughness of ZhuYue and Zhuman.

Ran min is unwilling! First, Huanwen killed Li's Chenghan, and then Xu Zheng killed the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He didn't think which of Huanwen and Xu Zheng was more brave or powerful than himself. However, the most powerful one had not been able to complete the great feat of destroying Shijie Zhao. It seemed that it would be a long time to destroy Shijie Zhao because the center wanted to cultivate health and restore national strength?

"I have ordered that those who take the head of an alien race still remember their merits and receive rewards." Liu Yan said the continuation of the Hu killing order. The north can kill Hu prisoners, and the South can also kill ZhuYue and Zhuman. He comforted ran min and said, "this measure will speed up the war process."

The hunting order for the south is a way for Liu Yan to give ordinary people who have long lived under the rule of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It depends on whether the people in the South have the courage to hunt their heads.

Seriously, the hunting order in the North has become difficult to harvest. After all, the stone tiger has retreated with a large number of Hu prisoners, and the Hu people in murongyan country are not easy to kill at all. The number of ZhuYue and Zhuman in the South should be more than one million. ZhuYue and Zhuman have no country. They are scattered in the form of tribes. If they have the courage to hunt, they will have both quantity and environment, and the harvest will be abundant.

"I'm afraid there will be more Xiaoguo of the Central Plains rushing to the South..." ran Min said with his mouth tilted: "the right prime minister wants equal fields and the southerners have the courage."

Liu Yan heard the strong regional discrimination in ran min's words.

There are many brave people in the north, but not all cowards in the south. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties spent thousands of years fighting in the south, but they have not been able to fight down. When the South returned to China, many places in the South also had elite soldiers, such as the rattan armor soldiers of the state of Chu, the Jiangdong children's soldiers under the overlord of the Western Chu, the southern army of the Western Han Dynasty and the Danyang soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Naturally, I don't object to the existence of warriors in the south, but I'm afraid that's a thing of the past." Ran Min said without changing his discrimination: "the small imperial court has ruled the south for too long. It has not been able to lead troops to recover the Central Plains. When it is constant, tens of thousands of Southern troops have been defeated by thousands of Hu prisoners. The military brigade that can fight with Hu prisoners must escape from the south to the north."

Liu Yan did not understand contemporary history and could not refute ran min. Moreover, it seems to be the same thing in his memory. Among the armies of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history, those who accepted the young and strong fleeing from the north were not afraid of the Shanghu prisoners, and the Beifu army was the most fierce.

Of course, with a nest of soldiers, what kind of people can bring out what kind of army. It depends on how the generals train and control the army. The southern army after the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has not always been so good.

Ran min actually wanted to persuade Liu Yan to continue his strong attack on Shijie Zhao. Halfway through the conversation, he turned aside the topic, set down the banquet and still pestered the people in the south about whether they could summon up the courage to hunt and kill for meritorious deeds. He waited for him to get drunk and didn't bring the topic back.

To deal with ran min, who is ambitious and brave but doesn't know how to bend around, Liu Yan deliberately opened the topic and delayed it. He must first let ran min calm down, but he can't let this fierce general with negative political IQ offend more people.

Sure enough, ran min, who was drunk unconscious, was carried away. It was not long before Ji Chang and sang Yu came together.

"The general of the Northern Expedition left the army without enlistment. The king should be punished!" Ji Chang and ran min had no hatred and didn't seem to hate ran min. he said seriously, "if a general can leave without an order, where are the military laws and regulations?"

Liu Yan didn't pay attention to Ji Chang. Instead, he ordered someone to clean up, bring a new table and put on the tea making utensils.

"Punishment is naturally the punishment." Sang Yu added with a smile: "the general of the Northern Expedition only came with ten horses. Jiearmour didn't bring weapons to visit the king. It's just to punish some salary."

Liu Yan glanced at them. Ji Chang's request for punishment may not be evil, and sang Yu's intercession may not be good.

While they were cooking tea and drinking, Ji Chang and sang Yu were talking. Liu Yan was silent with a slight smile. Several people came back and became a conversation between kings and ministers.

"Your Majesty, if you attack a place, you will measure the land in the South and register it. In the next three years, the people in the South can pay taxes." Lu Yi stroked his beard with a smile and said, "the Han Dynasty has added several states. How to use them still needs to be considered."

"From the beginning of the emperor, the South belongs to China, but it has not been developed for hundreds of years. This current situation should end in the contemporary era." Cai Youcai is the person in charge of national construction. He knows why LV Yi said: "the zhangtuji people in several prefectures and counties in the Central Plains have never stopped, and the zhangtuji people in the South... Are very short of manpower."

Land measurement and population registration seem simple and easy to do, but the manpower needed is a huge number. The Han Dynasty recovered several Central Plains States. After continuing Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou worked for two years and were able to complete it. In fact, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou and other places began to work.

Many central posts have been vacant in the state of Han for many years. Many local officials in some counties are catching up with ducks on the shelves. None of the people who are caught up on the shelves are ordinary people, at least from local big families. The reason for this is very simple. An official needs to review official documents. It is difficult for an official to be illiterate, while it is very difficult for people to be literate.

Retired soldiers in the army can serve as some posts in townships, townships and kiosks. What causes is that grass-roots officials. On the contrary, it is not difficult. Most of the land and registered population are measured by retired soldiers in the army, which are coordinated by at least one county level official.

"Cough." Sang Yu drew everyone's attention and cautiously said to Liu Yan, "Your Majesty, the state should have a system of selecting talents and talents to choose more excellent talents for the king and the great men."

Before that, officials in the Han Dynasty were basically the selection of self recommendation and information, which was very similar to the filial piety and integrity system in the western and Eastern Han Dynasties, but not only this measure, there were not many talented and upward promotion officials.

Liu Yan was very interested and asked, "how to choose talents?"

Everyone looked at sang Yu, some with deep expectation and frown.

The way in which the state chooses officials is related to the future political trend of a country. What changes a little is whether the official class will be fixed. Just like what Lao Tzu was in the pre-Qin period, the later Western and Eastern Han families ruled the world. In the Cao Wei period, they moved towards official monopoly, and in the western and Eastern Jin Dynasties, the pattern of "born with seed" was restored again.

"My Lord." Ji Chang didn't give sang Yu a chance to explain. He said, "only talk about the wind and moon tonight, regardless of state affairs."

Liu Yan immediately smiled meaningfully.
