Chapter 436: Emperor Shenwu
A new huge empire emerged in the east of the Eurasian continent.
As the first civilized country in the world to enter feudal society, Qin was like a bright pearl that shocked the surrounding tribes and countries.
The capital is Chang'an.
A thin layer of snowdrops is spread on the towering city walls, making the entire Guancheng covered in silver and extraordinarily delicate. The black flag of Daqin, under the direct sunlight, is set off by the white snow, and the alternation of black and white looks very special.
What is eye-catching and in strong contrast with this natural color are the crowds of people passing by on the streets outside the city.
Among them, there are traders traveling back and forth from various places, people visiting relatives and friends, and soldiers who have received orders and are gathering towards the garrison. No matter what their status is, everyone sees the border on the top of the city tower.
When the Qin State flag was raised, everyone felt a heartfelt sense of pride.
December 7th.
After the heavy snow, it was a nice sunny day.
Groups of vehicles drove out from various shops in Chang'an and marched towards the high altar cemetery in the center of the city. After many attempts by officials at all levels and county officials from various places to persuade them, Shenwu King Li Yuan was going to pray to heaven on the altar in the city today.
prayer--.
After a series of conquests in the north and south, the newly born Qin State finally restored the territory that the First Emperor had when he was most powerful.
In the north.
The Su Jiao Division of the Qin Army had already established a firm foothold in the Hanhai Longcheng area, and its troops crossed the vast desert wasteland from time to time and advanced towards the Beihai area where the Huns had lived for generations.
in the west.
Ji Xinyi of Gushi City was like a nail driven into the Western Regions, firmly grasping the situation in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Coupled with the back-and-forth raids by Li Zhongxiang's coalition forces from various countries in the Western Regions, the anti-Qin forces in the Southern Tianshan Mountains were
The power of all the countries was almost wiped out. Even those who were dissatisfied with Qin had no choice but to flee further west early.
in the east.
The border of Qin State has been moved to the edge of the sea. In the Penglai area of Qidi, the First Department of the Navy affiliated to Han Xin's army is building a shipping port. The purpose of this is to build a maritime port on the basis of Chidao land transportation.
A major maritime traffic artery running from north to south.
in the south.
The forward of Wang Shangjun has arrived at Xiangjun and is continuing to pursue Lu Tai in Annan. In the southeast corner, the Jiangdong Qin Army, led by Jiang Yu, is advancing toward the hinterland of Fujian and Yue along the twists and turns of the Siming Mountains. Wu Zhu
Heavy troops were deployed in the Xianxia Ridge area in an attempt to block the Qin army's attack, but due to the use of gunpowder, the Qin army had sharper tools and weapons in clearing roads through the mountains.
Of course, these border disputes are too far away for the people of Chang'an, and their attention is focused on the cemetery altar in the center of the city.
Here, today, the enthronement ceremony of Shenwu King Li Yuan will be held.
Nothing wrong.
You don’t have presbyopia in your eyes. Li Yuan will finally officially ascend the throne and become the emperor of Qin. This is the general trend and a natural move.
Over the years, news about when King Wu ascended the throne has spread from time to time, but they were suppressed by Li Yuan because the four frontiers of the Qin Dynasty were not peaceful. Now that the world has surrendered and all the dynasties have been united, Li Yuan has no choice but to refuse.
Excuses, and more importantly, Qin's internal affairs system has gained inertia at the operational level after ten years of operation. Even if Li Yuan turns his back now, there will be no major problems.
High on the altar.
Fresh fruits from Lingnan were placed on the memorial stone table in the cemetery. Since the founding of the New Qin Dynasty, Li Yuan would come to the cemetery of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the New Qin Dynasty on every important day and look at this
Every familiar name, Li Yuan seemed to be able to hear their shouts.
Gan Houbo, Zhou Xing, Ji Bu - these famous and unknown fallen soldiers gave Li Yuan a heartfelt sense of recognition and pride every time he came to the Forest of Steles.
How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you?
The friendship forged on the battlefield will never change no matter how many years of vicissitudes it goes through.
"Since the thirty-eighth year of the First Emperor's reign, we have started with a small army in Yongqiu, captured Daliang, attacked Xingyang, and conquered Xianyang. Wherever the army passed, the people all followed -" This paragraph is about the New Qin Army.
The history of its founding was narrated by Prime Minister Chen Ping. Scenes and scenes of it were like watching a replayed movie to the ears of those who had experienced hardships.
Before the White Horse Crossing, Gan Houbo and Zhou Xing hugged each other and fought alone. Facing Liu Bang's Western Expedition army, they used only a small number of soldiers to sing the Qin army's war song and fought to the last breath. Now, their descendants, Gan Yong and
Zhou Ping was among the generals standing in front of the cemetery, listening to the deeds of their fathers. The young Qin generals could not help but burst into tears.
The north wind blows from Leyouyuan.
With a hint of coldness and a sweeping momentum, just like the rise of the New Qin Dynasty, it crushes all opponents who stand in its way with overwhelming force.
As the leader of the New Qin Army, Li Yuan felt even more profoundly.
Twelve years.
In the blink of an eye.
Li Yuan has also entered the prime of life from youth, from a young man in his early twenties to a middle-aged man in his thirties. Now, his identity will undergo a qualitative change.
For Li Yuan, his dream of becoming a king and a marquis has long been realized.
Emperor Shenwu.
This was a unanimous request after soliciting opinions from the entire court.
The mainstream view is that with the title of First Emperor first, if Li Yuan were called the Second Emperor, it would drown out his great achievements. After all, New Qin and Old Qin are two completely different national systems. Even if Ying Yushu
This connection cannot change the role Li Yuan played in the establishment of the New Qin State.
In private, those Xin Qin people from Guandong also believed that Li Yuan's ability was much stronger than that of Ying Zheng who just inherited the throne and carried the historical Qin heritage. Therefore, there must be a new title to replace the title based on seniority.
and time sorting.
From the 8th to the 12th.
After five days of tedious etiquette, Li Yuan officially ascended to the throne of God. The calendar of the Qin State was also changed from the New Calendar to the Shenwu Calendar, and December 7th became the National Day of the Qin State.
——.
The revival of Qin.
For its opponents, it is a disaster.
In this great storm that swept across eastern Asia, the descendant of the King of Yue, Wuzhu, the king of Minyue, huddled in a corner of the southeast, dreaming of regaining the country of Yue, faced the Qin army's attack on the land of Minyue in an uninterrupted nightmare.
Pressing harder and harder.
Mei Juan and Zhao Tuo's two allies were defeated and one died.
The aloof King Wuzhu of Minyue was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that without allies, his Minyue territory was directly exposed to the front of the Qin army. Not only the area bordering Jiangdong was threatened by the Qin army, but even the southern area began to face powerful forces.
The Qin army oppressed Pengyue's middle road.
what to do?
War, peace, or seclusion, ignoring everything.
Wu Zhu was at a loss as to what to do. In the Minyue region, Wu Zhu's tribe had always been the most powerful, so he was the only one who bullied and attacked others, and few other tribes came to attack the Yue tribe.
This time, as soon as the intelligence of the Qin army's second advance was reported to Wuzhuwang City, the arrogant King of Yue was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, beside Wu Zhu, there was Mei Juan, a former ally who had "seen" big events. After Mei Juan escaped from Wuling, he hid in Tibet all the way. When he arrived in Fujian, more than 300 people who followed him
Only less than twenty of the loyal and brave generals of the Mei clan are left.
This small number of people could not defeat even a small search team of the Qin army. Mei Juan could only rely on Wu Zhu's command and tried to defeat the Qin army with the help of Fujian and Yue soldiers.
The grand ceremony of the country.
While the whole country of Qin was celebrating, the soldiers guarding the border were still spending this ordinary and extraordinary day in battle.
South of Siming Mountain.
Qin general Jiang Yuzheng led a portion of the Jiangdong Army to attack Fujian. With Peng Yue in the west to contain him, Wu Zhu panicked and transferred all his main troops to the border between Fujian and South Vietnam. This made Jiang Yu attack all the way.
They did not encounter much resistance from the Fujian-Vietnam army.
From Zhejiang to Fujian.
The mountain roads were difficult to walk, and there were several mountains separated by them. The Qin army in the east of the Yangtze River advanced slowly, and due to Ding Gong's rash advance, the entire army was completely annihilated. This was unprecedented, so Jiang Yu appeared to be more cautious during the march.
The Qin army on the northern front moved in an orderly manner, with no one standing out and advancing rashly. This caused the Minyue army, which tried to defeat each other, to focus on one thing and miss the other. It failed to find a fighter plane with Jiang Yu, so Wu Zhu had no choice but to focus on Peng Yue's army to relieve the predicament.

ps: Thanks to See Alliance for the reward, and thanks to Qiufeng for the praise. This year has not been easy. My old mother fell down after a stroke. Now she has difficulty moving. She needs to be taken care of every day. She has very little time to code. I’m sorry.
