Chapter 467: Tripartite Forces
The Song Dynasty was defeated by a foreign race. Otherwise, the country would never have perished so quickly.
There are many reasons for the defeat of the Republic of China, but the most important one is the failure of the tax policy, the literati and doctors do not pay taxes, do not collect commercial taxes, and the state finances are depleted. Most of the previous dynasties had high salaries and incorruptible support, especially the Song Dynasty. And the salaries of Ming Dynasty officials were pitiful, and their families couldn't support them. In this way, everyone is only corrupt and bribery. In the end, the country had no money, and even the postal system was cut, which made Li Zicheng, a postman, unemployed, and began to rebel and dig the tomb of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as Zhang Jie exterminates all foreign races, governs the country with literature, collects commercial taxes, is financially wealthy, and implements high salaries and incorruptible pensions, it will definitely not be a problem for the Great Wei State to be passed on for two or three hundred years. There has never been a dynasty that lasts long. It would be nice to be able to let the country you create spread for two or three hundred years. This is Zhang Jie's most realistic idea.
A few days later, Zhang Jie held his first court meeting in the "Taihe Palace".
In Zhang Jie's Great Wei Dynasty, the officials below could only stand. Can't sit, this is Zhang Jieli's rule.
The main purpose of the first court meeting was to let these ministers "take an oath".
These ministers also understood that if they did not take the oath, they would have to return to their hometowns.
And all the people did the same, and swore an oath one by one.
The history of assassination in various places, Xun Yu did not come, and Xun Yu resigned, sent someone from Yanzhou Prefecture Muyin to Zhang Jie, and went back to Yingchuan's hometown by himself.
Zhang Jie said: Yan Xiang, let you be the assassin of Yanzhou, and you will take office to replace Xun Yu in a few days.
Promise! Commanded! Yan Xiang said.
Ladies and gentlemen, now our Great Wei State has been established. However, the world is still not at peace. You still have to work hard?
Lone heard that Liu Qi, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei had formed an alliance.
Hehe, it seems that they also scared us and wanted to huddle together to keep warm.
When you go back, use your mind. Let's try to take another three years to calm these candidates.
Promise! Honorable Order!
Zhang Jiedao: Lone decides, amnesty to the world. And set the year name as "the first year of Kaiyuan".
When the news of Zhang Jie's proclamation as king spread to all places, for the people of Pingming, no matter what they do, whoever becomes the king will be the same to them.
And Sun Quan heard Zhang Jie claim the king, although he had been prepared, he was still a little surprised. The speed of gathering troops and horses was accelerated. Prepare for an early dispatch of troops.
And when Cao Cao heard that Zhang Jie was called the queen, he laughed loudly and said: Zhang Shimin, Zhang Shimin, you finally can't help it. Back then, in Luoyang, what did you say about the kindness of the first emperor. Now forget about it!
Cheng Yu handed Zhang Jie's proclamation to Cao Cao and said: What we heard at the scene was what Zhang Jie said.
Cao Cao read it again: I read that the foundation of the country lies in the people. Unification, Han, Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Goryeo, Nanban, Shanyue, and the Western Regions are integrated, that is, the Great Wei State. Today, the cardinal is made in the imperial court, and the longitude and latitude are in the fourth solstice, which is said to be the unification of the territory, the unification of military orders, the unification of finance, and the unification of the world.
Zhang Shimin is so talented! Broad-minded and ambitious. Haven't seen it in years. This proclamation is comparable to the "Great Wind Song" of Gaozu! Cao Cao praised.
When everyone listened to Zhang Jie's proclamation, they also felt that the atmosphere was majestic and inspiring. It's just a pity that it was Zhang Jie who made the announcement. It's not Cao Cao.
Mao Jiedao: Zhang Jie's proclamation said that the Han, Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Goryeo, Nanban, Shanyue, and Western Regions were gathered. for a country. In this way, will Zhang Jie make a move on the Huns first?
Xun Youdao: Probably not. Zhang Jie extinguished Xianbei, Wuhuan. I felt a lot about the Xiongnu, and there were not many garrisons in the state and Guanzhong in these years, but the Xiongnu did not dare to offend the border. is afraid of angering Zhang Jie.
Sometimes you have been thinking that Zhang Jie began to say that he would kill and burn all the aliens, and he would have to change the species. At the time, you thought it was too cruel, it was simply an animal act.
But now that I think about it, Zhang Jie may really be able to deal with the border troubles that have existed for thousands of years. This is much less expensive than building the Great Wall. Now the Xiongnu do not dare to go south, which is the best example.
Now I heard that Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Liu Qi formed a tripartite alliance. The Huns didn't dare to offend the side, Zhang Jie had no reason to fight the Huns first and then fight these three parties! Perhaps, it won't be long before Zhang Jie will fight these three parties in Jingzhou.
Mao Jiedao: Then Gongda said what will be the outcome of their battle?
Xun Youdao: I'm afraid this is unpredictable! In fact, he is not optimistic about the three parties.
Cao Cao said: There is nothing unpredictable, Liu Qi and the others will be defeated! If Liu Qi gave up Xiangyang, retreated to Jingnan and used the naval army to fight Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie would be difficult to do for a while. If you fight Zhang Jie north of Hanshui in Jingzhou, you will be defeated!
The three parties form an alliance, three hearts, each will want to preserve its strength, let the other party go first, and beware of each other, so that if you can win, you will see the hell.
Don't look at him, Zhuge Liang claims to take advantage of the magic trick, in the eyes of Zhang Shimin Jia Xu, it is not enough to see at all. Look at it, it's going to be a failure.
However, they are at war, and we cannot afford to be idle. Give full play to our internal response, and this time we will definitely take down Bashu.
Zhou Yu, with 50,000 horses, used a warship to go up the Han River and disembarked at Fancheng, while Zhuge Liang also led his troops east along the Yangtze River, and then went north from Jiangxia.
Liu Qi was afraid that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang would take him Jingzhou, so he also transferred heavy troops to guard Xiangyang.
Cai Mao sent several letters to Zhang Jie in a row, hoping that Zhang Jie would prepare early. But every time Zhang Jie answered, he asked him to protect the warship, and he didn't have to worry about anything else.
At the end of August, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang finally met in Fancheng.
After Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, he also recruited another 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. Left 50,000 horses to guard Xiangyang, and personally led 80,000 horses to Fancheng to join Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.
A total of 180,000 troops on both sides filled the periphery of Fancheng. Liu Qi also invested a lot of money and used the grain and grass that Liu Biao had accumulated. All for this war. I hope to defeat Zhang Jie.
In the big tent, Liu Qi said: According to the Tanmalay newspaper, Zhang Jie claimed to be the queen. I'm busy with government affairs all day, and I don't seem to care about our alliance. Now our soldiers and horses have been assembled, but Zhang Jie seems unmoved.
And Nanyang also hid more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and did not increase the troops. Zhang Jie also only had 50,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang. And they didn't send troops to fight us.
Tell me how we should enter the army?
Zhuge Liang said: Liang has been in Xinye for a period of time and knows the terrain around Xinye very well. So Ryo suggested that we station our troops in Shinno.
Liu Qi said: That's fine, Fancheng can't have so many soldiers and horses for a while. It's good to go to Shinno. Everyone also felt that it was feasible, and Zhou Yu did not object.
When Liu Qi and the other armies arrived in Xinye, the Tibetan tyrant was a little anxious. Send someone to tell Zhang Jie. asked why he didn't transfer troops to Nanyang, the other party had nearly 200,000 horses, and he couldn't hold Wancheng.
In the palace, Zhang Jie met with Li Rutian Feng in the Qinzheng Palace.
Tian Fengdao: King, now Liu Qi and the others are almost in Nanyang. Why hasn't the lord taken action! If you don't send troops, Nanyang may not be able to protect it!
