The new dynasty was established and the new emperor ascended the throne, which should have been completely new, but the people in Jinyang City soon discovered that except for Liu Zhiyuan, who became the emperor from the king of Beiping, everything did not seem to have changed much.

The officials are still those officials, the army is still those armies, and the new flag erected high in Jinyang City is still the name of "Jin".

Liu Zhiyuan did not rush to change the country name, in order to show the legitimacy of the inheritance of the Later Jin, he only abandoned the name of "Kaiyun", and instead used the "Tianfu" year name of Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Jin Dynasty, called the twelfth year of Tianfu, and in front of the ministers, he said in a stunned tone: Yu did not bear to forget the Jin.

Of course, there are still three fires for the new official to take office, how can Liu Zhiyuan do nothing when he first ascends the throne. First of all, he issued an edict to exempt the people of Jinyang from all miscellaneous taxes except for the two taxes this year, in order to raise support.

Originally, Liu Zhiyuan's brain was hot, and he wanted to be completely exempt from taxes, but he was persuaded by Wang Zhang. The country is in danger, it is the time of consuming money and grain, most of Hedong's wealth comes from Taiyuan Mansion, if Jinyang's fiscal taxes are exempted, the loss will be too great.

At the same time, Liu Zhiyuan sent dozens of envoys to various states to announce to the world the news of his ascension to the throne and proclamation of the emperor. For the prefectures and counties near Hedong, such as Jinzhou and Luzhou, several commissioners were sent to the edict to be attached. The two states of Jinlu and Lu, when the main road to the southeast of the river, have one thing in common, that is, their Jiedu envoys went to Bianliang to meet Yelu Deguang.

Subsequently, Liu Zhiyuan issued two edicts in a row, ordering the world, one of which said: All the ways are Khitan brackets and money silk, and they are all stopped. His Jin ministers were forced to coerce the envoy not to ask, and the order was there. Since Yu Khitan, where the punishment is.

This is a complete declaration that he has turned his face with the Khitan and determined the enemy and me. The officials and soldiers of Zhudao Prefecture suffered deeply from Yelu Deguang's "money order" and "grass valley", Liu Zhiyuan made a fuss about the most painful point of the people in the Central Plains, and he, the new emperor, was naturally able to gather a large number of people's hearts in a short period of time and was recognized by the head of Qian.

As for those who are "coerced", whether they are really coerced or not, they are worth wooing. And the last sentence, in this era, can be regarded as a serious "killing order".

It is conceivable that Liu Zhiyuan's edict will definitely achieve good results after it is spread to the world, and the remnants and scholars of the Later Jin Dynasty in Hebei in the Central Plains, including those who took advantage of the situation, will definitely react.

In fact, before Liu Zhiyuan became emperor, in Guanyou Shaanzhou, there were already people who took the lead in the world and officially set off a wave of rebellion against Khitan rule.

As for the third edict, it is to hold high the banner of righteousness in Jinyang, recruit wise and brave people from all over the world, and discuss the Khitan together. This is a recruitment order, but under the banner of fighting against the Khitan, with today's environment, the effect will be very good.

The proposal to recruit troops was put forward by Liu Chengyou. These days, due to the turbulent situation in the Central Plains and Hebei, many people came to Hedong to defect to Liu Zhiyuan.

Regarding Liu Chengyou's suggestion, Liu Zhiyuan also decisively accepted it. He was also concerned about the lack of troops under his command, and if he wanted to deal with the Khitans, the 50,000 cavalry in Hedong was far from enough.

What's more, even if the Khitan is expelled, there must be enough strength to suppress the world, and those local festivals in Shi Jin may not all be convinced by him Liu Zhiyuan, or someone will definitely jump out against him, Liang, Tang, and Jin Dynasty changes several times, all of them are like this, and it will be Liu Zhiyuan's turn, and it will not be an exception.

Moreover, the turmoil in the Central Plains affects the whole world, and those separatist regimes in the south will not be able to settle down, so they also have to guard against it. Gao Congzhi sent envoys to persuade him to advance, and Hou Shu simply sent troops to occupy the four prefectures of Qin, Feng, Jie, and Cheng, and the Southern Tang Dynasty also accepted a large number of Huaibei soldiers and civilians who fled south.

Liu Chengyou has this foresight, Liu Zhiyuan is happy and admonished, and he will not have any resistance to expanding his strength. As for the financial pressure brought about by the expansion of the army, Yang Wei, Wang Zhang and others have a headache.

Liu Chengyou and Liu Zhiyuan said that the Khitans could grab a lot of wealth in the Central Plains and Hebei, and if they could seize it from the Khitans...... The words were not completely explained, but Liu Zhiyuan was obviously moved, but it didn't stop there, even if he was red, he had to look at the opportunity, the Khitan army was not easy to get along with after all. Everything, but also to seize the country as the most important!

After several edicts in succession, Liu Zhiyuan once again restarted the plan of "eastward expansion". Liu Zhiyuan is not a person who gives up halfway, or wants to finish the previous play, saying that he wants to "rescue" Shi Chonggui and the Empress Dowager of Jin, and give good support to repay the kindness of the former dynasty.

On the 15th, it was delayed because of the matter of "becoming emperor", so the date of the expedition was rescheduled. This time, it was chosen on February 18.

In the past few days, Liu Chengyou was very busy, actively selecting elites from the Jinyang army to fill the forbidden palace. Liu Chengyou is very attentive to this errand and selects elite soldiers, which is a rare opportunity.

He had a lot of ideas, and Liu Zhiyuan's arrangement was to select soldiers to be forbidden soldiers to defend the palace city. In Liu Chengyou's view, it is a bit different from the meaning of the "guard army" and the "palace front army", although Liu Zhiyuan has not officially issued an edict to officially upgrade the Hedong Jiedu army to the guard army.

Even if Liu Zhiyuan doesn't have that idea, Liu Chengyou must grasp this opportunity to pick the elite and reorganize the army. How did Zhao Kuangyin rise in the palace army, in addition to Zhou Shizong's trust, the rectification of the forbidden army was an important step in laying the cornerstone of his upper position.

The elite of his subordinates was transferred, and the Jinyang armies were commanded from the capital to the colonel, somewhat unhappy, but there was no way, the emperor wanted to form the palace forbidden army, who dared to refuse positively, let alone complain in front of Liu Zhiyuan, they could only pinch their noses and admit it. The Longqi Army, which is still under the jurisdiction of Liu Chengyou, has also been transferred, and there are quite a few of them, with more than 300 people.

The officers and soldiers who were selected were much more excited, and those who were not strong could not be selected, and it was their honor to be able to guard the emperor. At the same time, the treatment is naturally not bad.

Later, Liu Zhiyuan's reaction proved that he really just wanted to select some troops to enrich the palace guards, and when Liu Chengyou did this, he became an army that collected the essence of the three armies. From the armies, including the Longqi Army, Liu Chengyou made up an integer and selected a total of 3,000 soldiers to form an army.

After personally inspecting it, Liu Zhiyuan was very satisfied with its military appearance, and sighed with admiration: "If I have elite soldiers, I don't need more, only 30,000, why worry about the injustice of the world?" ”

As a result, Liu Zhiyuan officially decided to form a new army, and the military number also accepted Liu Chengyou's suggestion and called it "Crane Control Army".

The control crane army is in command, but it is not Liu Chengyou's turn, Liu Zhiyuan is the younger brother of the Li family, Liu Chengyou's eldest uncle, and Xingjie Zuoxiang is the commander of Li Hongxin.

However, Liu Chengyou was not dissatisfied with this, most of the sergeants were selected by him, although there was no big move, but he also took the opportunity to install many low-level officers.

For example, the Li Dutou of the left battalion of the Longqi First Army, Liu Chengyou also personally met and encouraged him, and at the same time had a good impression of this person.

His name is Li Jian, the character Yuan Hui.
