Yecheng, southern suburbs.
The cold wind whistled by.
The flags fluttered in the wind, and densely packed soldiers stood around the altar.
There were tens of thousands of these armored soldiers. They lined up in a square formation and were deployed around the altar. They were mostly covered with armor, holding sharp weapons, and not squinted.
Flags stood in the formation and drifted with the wind. These veterans of war occupied the entire southern suburbs.
They are all tall, fierce in appearance, well-armed and well-armed, hung strong crossbows, held large shields, and held spears.
The entire north is composed of cavalry.
The war horses were tall, and the fully armed knights were holding the reins, and the war horses were also covered in armor and did not move.
Among them, there are 72 large war drums, distributed in various places.
All officials and ministers were wearing brand new official uniforms and stood at the forefront in the order they should be.
Zu Ban took the lead, stood in front, and behind him were many civil and military ministers.
There are even many local officials, such as Wang Lin, who just came to Youcheng to report the major events, stood here.
The officials looked solemn and did not dare to neglect them.
Wei Xiaokuan was actually located in it. He secretly looked at the old soldiers from different places in the surrounding array, his forehead was covered with sweat.
This armor-wearing rate is really getting more and more exaggerated.
Following this trend, will the big man want to turn the '100,000 armored armor into reality??
Liu Taozi wore emperor's clothes and twelve crowns.
His figure is already tall, and wearing this dress is like a god and extremely majestic.
He raised his head and strode towards the altar, where a fire was placed.
The etiquette officer quickly followed.
When Liu Taozi walked to the fire, the etiquette officer delivered the cloth used for the sacrifice to Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi raised the cloth and threw it into the fire.
This is a sacrifice to God, telling Haotian that your son has changed his surname!
Then, Liu Taozi turned around and looked at the officials in front of him.
The ritual official recited the ritual of offering sacrifices to the astronomy.
This ritual official is also a familiar face, Lu Sidao, the minister who left the city of Job City.
This person started chanting loudly.
"By the God of Haotian."
"When the universe lost its principles, the emperor came out to respond to the decree of heaven, followed the foundation of the world, and governed by the Yuan Dynasty! When the magical artifacts changed, they eventually became virtuous. Since the Han Dynasty was decayed, the world collapsed, the Jin Dynasty lost its virtues and chaotic times, the Central Plains were decayed, and the people had not been cured for hundreds of years!"
"Wei did not receive the will of heaven, so he was sent to chaos and divided into Qi and Zhou. Qi ruled to be cruel and acted against the enemy, and the fish and meat were too heavy.
The tyranny and impermanence are the world for a long time. The Zhou family has lost their jurisdiction, the powerful ministers are in power, killing the king and chasing the country, brothers are experiencing the walls, officials are domineering, and they are all untrue, and they are not benevolent and righteous!"
"Today, the Lord of Gods conquered the world, and the emperor started in the last few days, but he ruled the chaos, but he did not do anything to the Hu army, and to consolidate the dynasty and promote education,
The merits are inscribed on Mount Tai, and the reputation is in the East China Sea! The destiny of heaven should be returned at this time!"
The ritual officer recited it loudly, and after reading this for a long time, he finally completed the notification ceremony.
"The destiny of heaven returns to Han!!!"
Liu Taozi pulled out the sword of rites and pointed it at the distance.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!Dong!"
The familiar sound of war drums suddenly rang out.
The sound of the war drums was like thunder, and the soldiers shouted, "Long live!!"
"Long live!!!"
Tens of thousands of troops shouted at the same time, the soldiers touched the shield with their swords, the war horses neighed, and the spears were on the ground.
The ministers led by Zu Ban were the first to bow to the emperor.
"Long live your Majesty!!"
Then a group of ministers kept bowing and bowing.
Liu Taozi put away his sword and got into the car. The emperor's car drove through the square formation of the soldiers, and only the long live shouts came from his ears.
The officials were ready immediately and quickly went to Tai Chi Hall.
After worshiping the heavens, you need to give seals and edicts in Tai Chi Hall, and officially announce the establishment of the country.
Zu Ban hurriedly jumped into the carriage and rushed towards the direction of the imperial city.
The rest of the officials also prepared to go to the venue of the next ceremony.
Zu Ban sat in the carriage, feeling particularly excited.
After the destruction of Zhou State, Liu Taozi finally stopped delaying and formally decided to establish the country and become emperor. He took on this destiny.
Start working on the next unity.
This is a top priority for the entire man.
Zu Ban dared not neglect it.
He was thinking about it day and night, and he was waiting for this day!
The rewards for officials and generals will also be issued together after they officially ascend the throne!!
Zu Ban was already a little impatient.
When they arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, the etiquette officials were conducting a final inspection to confirm that they had not made any mistakes.
Zu Ban was just about to go to receive the seal, but someone hurriedly grabbed him.
"Grandmaster! Wrong! Wrong!"
Zu Ban was furious and turned around and saw that the person who grabbed him was Wei Shou. At this moment, Zu Ban became even more angry.
"Does Wei Duke think that the emperor has no virtue and is not worthy of destiny?"
Wei Shou's legs became weak, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he slapped his mouth suddenly, "It's definitely not, it's the ceremony of the heavens just now!"
"According to the Han etiquette, only livestock are used for sacrifices, and only Xianbei people can inform them by burning!"
"The officials of the Ministry of Rites have neglected their duties! How dare they use Xianbei etiquette to humiliate His Majesty!!"
Upon hearing this, Zu Ban suddenly burst into laughter.
His expression suddenly became fierce, holding Wei Shou's collar.
Although Zu Ban is old and thin, he is tall. When he catches him like this, he looks down and looks at him.
He asked angrily: "I only heard that there are Turks in the north and Chen people in the south. Where are the Xianbei people?!"
Wei Shou was so scared that he shivered and could no longer speak.
Zu Ting pushed him away and quickly walked into the Tai Chi Hall.
The emperor was ready again. This time, he changed his clothes again. The emperor's clothes are divided into many types. The clothes worn during sacrifices are the most special type. Usually, sacrificial clothes are not allowed to be worn.
Zu Ban personally held the jade seal.
If it is abdicated, it is better to ask the former emperor to give the jade seal, but Liu Taozi is on his own, then it is a confidant who will give the seal.
Zu Ban volunteered to take on this job.
After Zu Ban respectfully presented the jade seal to the emperor, the ministers congratulated him again.
Liu Taozi sat on the dragon throne, although he often sat on this thing on weekdays.
The officials bowed again.
Liu Taozi issued an edict.
There are many edicts.
"The country was established with the name Han."
"Year name Tianyuan."
"The temple of Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty was established, and the law was inherited, and the title was posthumously conferred."
"Respected Liu Zhang as the Empress Dowager, respected Liu Taozhi as the Emperor, and used Jie Hulu as the Empress."
"Liu Wu was given the title of King Yong.
Liu Taozi's legal system has been traced a long way, which directly denied the previous dynasty, and even denied the Han and Chanwei, and directly respected Liu Bei as the temple master and inherited his legal system. Although doing so is not very polite, Taozi has never cared about etiquette!
After determining the source of the country, determining the country's name and year number, and determining a special location, Liu Taozi began to reward the ministers.
This is the original reward notice, which was announced in the most formal way this time.
Zu Ting was officially worshipped as prime minister.
When Liu Taozi's edict was issued, everyone was shocked.
The position of Prime Minister is quite rare, even in Qi State. Only those who directly use Prime Minister as the official title are Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, who are about to usurp the throne.
Some are angry, some are disdainful, some are sad, and of course, some are happy.
Zu Ban stood up again and faced the ministers. His eyes finally stopped automatically from locking in those who fought with him. His eyes were bright and clear, and his expression was confident.
After many benevolent policies of the new dynasty, such as rewards and tax exemptions, the ceremony was over.
The rise of the new empire in the Central Plains was only one last step away from the unification.
The ceremony ended and everyone left with unfulfilled satisfaction.
Zu Ban followed Liu Taozi with a calm expression and walked into another hall. He ordered the soldiers to stay Wang Lin.
Call it in.
Not long after, Wang Lin appeared here in confusion, looked at the new emperor and the new prime minister in front of him, and hurriedly paid a visit.
Liu Taozi sat in the upper position and asked Wang Lin to sit down.
Although there was only a slight change in his name, it was still a little touching to Wang Lin.
Especially today, when Liu Taozi raised his sword and the soldiers called Fang Sui, the scene was moving.
Wang Lin, who has always been open-minded, has become much more restrained.
Zu Ban cleared his throat, "Prince, letting you in is for negotiation of major events."
"Since the matter of ascending the throne has been completed, it is time to tell you the purpose of coming."
Wang Lin asked, "Your Majesty has just finished ascending the throne, so there should be a lot to do, right?"
Zu Ban waved his hand, "Don't worry, there is nothing more important than Detective Chen at the moment."
Liu Taozi nodded and spoke, "The prince said it just right."
Wang Lin's face became more and more serious. He said seriously: "Your Majesty, the soldiers in the country are eager to destroy Chen State and complete their great achievements. Even those around me are eager to make contributions, but this is wrong."
"The national strength of Chen may not be as strong as Zhou, but with natural dangers in the river and their strong naval army, they cannot be underestimated."
"Since ancient times, the powerful northern countries have encountered failures in attacking the weak southern countries, and many of them have been caused."
"So, I think that if you want to attack Chen State, you must not be anxious."
"The first thing is to shrink the entire range. Whether it is Jiangling, Hai'an, and Gwangju, I think we should shrink the defense line and move the shipyard back to show that the enemy is weak.
1
Zu Ban couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, Wang Lin's strategy was as he had imagined.
However, there are indeed many additions. After all, Zu Ban is not the commander of the navy, and he can see many things as clearly as Wang Lin.
Wang Lin proposed to recruit soldiers from Lianghuai and even Jingzhou because these people are more familiar with water and can adapt to the climate in the south. He proposed to reorganize the current naval army, unify the naval army's organization, add special naval officer positions, and set up three naval army training bases in the rear, and practice them day by day.
In terms of the construction of warships, he prefers to concentrate his efforts to build small and medium-sized warships and buy large ships from the south.
The reason why he came here in person was because there were many sensitive contents in his proposal, which could easily cause trouble if he was not careful and needed to explain it in person.
Wang Lin’s strategy starts from four aspects: hiding, creating, reforming and practicing. There are 27 strategies in total.
Of course, he had already written the corresponding content, so Zu Ban picked it up and checked it carefully to search for the inappropriate ones.
This is not Zu Ban intentionally seeking trouble, but it’s just that there is no mistake in such a big deal.
"Your Majesty, you said you wanted to conceal your strength, but this strategy said you wanted to explore the islands along the coast and take them to occupy them.
Isn’t this a conflict?”
Wang Lin shook her head, "No, my ancestors don't know that most of these islands are abandoned, and only some incompetent water thieves like to occupy this place as a back camp, some of them cannot even find water to eat and cannot survive...:,
As long as we do it secretly enough, we can arrange the manpower well. Chen was very frightened and began to lock the river and seal the door. How dare we go out?"
"And after occupying these places in advance, we will have more routes to send troops... and even contact the rear of Chen State."
"General Ouyang used to be stationed in the south of Chen State. He was very prestigious in the hearts of the local barbarians. He even presided over their rituals by himself. Because of these actions, General Ouyang surrendered, Chen Zuo killed many people in the south, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many local people. If he could contact them, with General Ouyang's reputation, they could involve Chen Jun from the rear...\n."
"I see."
Zu Ban had no questions and looked at other strategies.
"This is the matter of buying a big ship...::. The confrontation between Han and Chen is becoming more and more obvious, and the Chen people are more alert.
It's difficult to pass, is the prince really sure?"
"I'm sure."
Wang Lin couldn't help laughing, and he looked at Liu Taozi, "Your Majesty, do you know how long can a giant ship be in battle?"
"I don't know."
"Let me talk about the great man's Gaihai, which has been built for 62 years, and is still strong."
"Generally speaking, if ordinary warships are maintained in time and do not encounter tragic battles, they can serve for a hundred years! If they are repaired and rebuilt by veterans, they can continue!"
"And other small boats have a shorter lifespan due to different woods, but they can last more than ten or decades!"
"But the warships of Chen State were consumed very quickly. In the past ten years, if they were not considered to be a loss in the war, they were not in wartime. They had three giant ships that were worn out and unusable, so they were abandoned."
Zu Ban was stunned, "Three ships? In ten years, three giant ships have been lost?"
Wang Lin nodded, "Yes, three ships, Zhou Guo is not rich enough, so he can only raise the money for three giant ships."
Zu Ban suddenly realized.
"What giant ships in Zhou State?!"
"That's right, it was sold by the Chen people. Zhou people changed it and used it himself. There was only one of the giant ships of the Zhou people who were built by themselves...:::"
"It's not just giant ships, but also ordinary warships. They are replaced every year and eliminated every year. In the past, traders could actually touch the warships to escort themselves. Where did these warships come from?"
"It was when Chen Jing was still in power in the past, and she could not completely eliminate this matter. How could Chen Zuo stop it?"
"At that time, Chen Ba was eager to ascend the throne, he had to win over everyone, and then continued to respect monks and worship Buddha, gathering everyone. :::. Whether it is monks or the great clans who have lived in Jiangdong for a long time, they are willing to sell warships to us. They don't care whether we will attack them if we take the warships and destroy them... no level can stop them."
"As long as we don't show too strong, we will continue to buy warships from them."
In the end, the three of them probably determined their strategy to attack Chen State.
Put your fists away first, take a few steps back, and then hit it.
This makes it more painful to beat the opponent and it is easier to knock over.
Zu Xiang left the palace with a happy face, and he was going to show off.
The ancients said: Wealth and honor will not return home, like walking in brocade clothes at night, but for the ancestors, wealth and honor will not meet enemies, like wearing brocade clothes in white.
The next day, Zu Ban couldn't wait to order the ministers to come and discuss major events.
Zu Ban has a very great power as the prime minister. He is different from that prime minister Yang.
Yang Qing was honored as Prime Minister because he became the Minister of Shangshu Pushe, because his official position is almost the same as that of the Prime Minister. However, Zu Ban is a real prime minister, without any moisture, and he is the kind of person who can really execute the ministers and ministers in the current dynasty.
No matter how much dissatisfied, resented, or jealous he is with this prime minister on weekdays, he is honest and respectful at this moment.
Zu Ban enjoyed this feeling quite well.
However, he did not humiliate himself to bully his former enemies, but just showed off, put on a tone, and said a few empty words to ask them to bow.
After living the addiction of a treacherous minister as always, he did not forget to submit to the main business.
Although we are eager to enrich the officials in various places, we cannot be impatient, especially local officials. If they recruit officials to make up for the sake of rushing to do things, or even skip the trial, and do not pay attention to the people they promote, they will be arrested and questioned.
Officials, especially local officials, have to face the people directly and execute orders, even if they are anxious.
You can't wait too much for the numbers, you must be qualified!
Zu Xiang was extremely majestic and gave harsh orders to everyone.
No one dares to refuse to obey.
As for Liu Taozi, he was receiving another important official at this moment.
That is the way to Guanzhong to serve as the Minister of the Xingtai Shangshu Ling.
In order to speed up the recovery of Guanzhong and Bashu, Liu Taozi specially selected two confidants and served as the Shangshu Ling of the two places. One was Lu Qujian, and the other was Tian Zili.
Both of them have been following Liu Taozi for the longest time and are the most well-known confidants.
Only people like them can take such an important position in one side.
Lu Qu's illness is still a little reluctant to leave.
He looked at Liu Taozi wearing the emperor's costume in front of him, with a complicated look, and always felt that all this was so unreal.
Liu Taozi spoke first, "Why don't you call Taozi today? You have changed it to Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty uses Cui Jishu as Sikong, who is good at fists and feet, and may be beaten by him."
Liu Taozi finally couldn't help laughing.
This is the first time Lu Qubing has seen Liu Taozi laugh so loudly.
He also laughed.
The laughter came from afar.
Chapter completed!
