The ascension of Emperor Xinghe symbolized that the Han Empire had once again reunited from the warlord separatist situation, but there were still some practical problems that needed to be properly handled, otherwise the hard-won good situation would be repeated.

The Sun family in Jiangdong controls Wuzhou and a large territory south of Wuzhou. It has been around for more than ten years and has been a force in a corner. If they had to let it go because they were an alliance with Jin, it would be contrary to Zhao Xing's original intention.

Although Liu Qi, after Liu Biao in Jingzhou, is now only entrenched in Jiangxia and Shouchun, most of the entire Yangzhou is currently in Liu Qi's hands, and a small part is in the hands of the Sun clan in Jiangdong. Liu Qi is easier to settle than the Sun clan, but he cannot kill the donkey and directly deprive the fruit of victory in his hands. If he really does this, I am afraid that many people in Jingzhou will be dissatisfied and even cause trouble.

Before Zhao Xing ascended the throne, the reason why he did not reward a large number of generals who had made contributions to combat was that he appointed some of the literati as department heads within the new policy system was that he took into account the situation in Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Now that he has ascended the throne, the new government has begun to operate. If he does not praise and reward the relevant meritorious personnel, it will not only cause the hearts of the soldiers, but will also cause doubts and suspicions in Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

After careful preparation and preparation, Zhao Xing finally issued several very important announcements to the world on February 2, the first year of Xinghe, which completely solved many unresolved problems.

First, Zhao Xing announced the abolition of the administrative structure of the two countries, Jin State and Liang State. Jin State was also called Bingzhou, with Liu Rong as the prefect, Chen Deng as the chief minister, and Jiang Xu as the prefect; Liang State was also called Liangzhou, Liu Qi as the prefect, Yang Fu as the prefect, and Wang Shuang as the prefect. At the same time, the title of the second-class Duke of Liu Rong can be heredited by Liu Rong's descendants, and the fief is in a vast area in North America; the title of the third-class Duke of Liu Qi can be heredited by Liu Qi, and the fief is somewhere in Oceania.

Zhao Xing's approach to abolishing the country and establishing a state was actually mainly for Sun Jian, Liu Qi and others, and for the civil and military officials and generals under his command. Even the two existing countries were abolished, and there will naturally be no new countries in the Han Dynasty in the future. The existence of the empire is to firmly oppose the existence of the country in the country, and to curb the practice of land feudalization. Even Zhao Xing himself does not have an exclusive royal "private land", so other dukes, marquis and earls naturally do not want to obtain fiefs within the Han Dynasty.

There was no fiefdom within the Han Dynasty, but Zhao Xing generously enfeoffed a lot of land to everyone on the uninhabited land outside the Han Dynasty. Today, North and South America are still in their original state, and Oceania has huge territory. Zhao Xing didn't want to just give Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others in vain. He granted these uninhabited land to everyone. On the one hand, he could fool the ministers and generals who were granted the title to send teams to follow Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the Sun family's fleet to manage their own land to the corresponding place. On the other hand, it was considered that the problem of reward was solved without spending a penny.

Zhao Xing conferred Cao Cao and Liu Bei as the second-class duke, and his fiefs were naturally in South America and North America more than 20,000 miles away. Zhao Xing also conferred Sun Jian as the first-class duke, and Sun Ce and Sun Quan as the first-class marquis, both of which can be hereditary, but Sun Jian's fief was Oceania 8,000 miles away from the south. Unlike Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Sun Jian was also appointed as the governor of Wuzhou, Zhou Yu as the chief of Wuzhou, and Sun Ce as the chief magistrate of Wuzhou, so Sun Jian did not have to be driven to the wild land thousands of miles away as sadly as Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Although the first-class duke and the second-class duke are only one level apart, this kind of political treatment is still very satisfactory to Sun Jian. Unless Cao Cao and Liu Bei have done extraordinary things as Han Han in the future, there will never be a chance to change the "second-class" above their heads to "first-class".

Here in Zhao Xing, titles have become a symbol of family and personal glory, and of course they are also the main basis for distinguishing the size of overseas fiefs. Together with Sun Jian, they were naturally awarded the title of Duke of the First Class Kingdom, including Zhao Xing's good brothers who had survived and died, as well as scholars who made great contributions. Such as Jia Xu, Liu Yu, Tian Feng, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Tai Shi Ci, Wang Yun, etc., according to the accumulated unparalleled merits, they were all fortunate to become the first batch of Dukes of the Han Empire.

There were also some other generals, such as Sima Zhi, Ma Chao, Zhang He, Xu Shu, Li Jinsi, Li Jinwu, Zao Zhi, Ma Jun, Li Tiezhu, Pang Tong, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Zhang Yan, Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Pang De, Ye Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gongsun Zan, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Wang Lu, Zhao Gang, Guan Ping, Jia Mu, etc., who were awarded the honors of second-class dukes and various marquises respectively.

There were also some other generals who were awarded the honors of Earl, Viscount, Baron, etc., because there were too many personnel, so they would not be listed one by one.

After statistics, Emperor Xinghe issued more than 90 "hats" from various dukes, more than 300 "hats" from various marquises, more than 900 "hats" from various Counts, more than 5,000 "hats" from various viscounts, and more than 10,000 "hats" from various barons.

According to Zhao Xing's promise, anyone with a title, regardless of size, has his own fiefdom overseas, and the location and size of the fiefdom are clearly marked on the title appointment letter.

It sounds very terrifying that it was enfeoffed with more than 20,000 titles at once, but it didn't even suffer any loss to the Han Empire. Instead, Zhao Xing set up a super big game overseas early. When Zhao Xing was in Bingzhou, he introduced a system of accumulation of merits, with the purpose of motivating citizens from all walks of life to work together for Bingzhou. Later, this merit system was promoted to all territory controlled by Zhao Xing, and later became a national policy of the Han Empire.

Although the central officials, military generals, local officials, and outstanding contributors in various local industries who were granted no fiefdoms in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the vast majority of people agreed and supported Zhao Xing's practice of only giving honors but not fiefdoms in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

If we rely on our merits, we will rush up to divide the land of the Han Dynasty into our own, and then we will go back to the old path, causing the Han Dynasty to fall apart. The Han Dynasty is the Han Dynasty's great Han people and the spiritual home of the Han people. Only by ensuring the high unity and relative fairness of the Han Dynasty's local area can we insert the Han Dynasty's flag into the place where every inch of sunlight can we shine.

Besides, the emperor is not a stingy person. He took out several lands as the size of a great man as his fiefdom. Although the distance is very far away, as long as he has that letter of appointment, he will have more descendants in the future, so he can send it to manage and settle down!

Zhao Xing's move is absolutely sinister enough. In the future, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and other emerging wealthy families will expand their territory for the empire, but they will firmly keep their roots in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Even if some ambitious people want to do a slaughter overseas at that time, other families that are also enfeoffed will not need the empire to mobilize, they will unite to suppress these ambitious people.

After all, the Han Dynasty is their common motherland!
