Chapter 497: Liu Bei's Cam Ranh Bay

Gongsun Gong was rescued from house arrest, combined with his meritorious performance, Lü Kang was in charge, and Gongsun Gong continued to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong County, but the Taishou of Xuansu County and Lelang County had to wait for the appointment of the central government, and was no longer assigned by Gongsun himself.

Even the position of Taishou of Liaodong County was no longer hereditary by the Gongsun clan, but was managed by the central government, and thus the last local family power of the Han Empire ended their decades of rule in Liaodong.

The central government of the Han Empire completed the unification of all prefectures and counties, and all local officials were appointed and appointed by the central government, and all military and political officials were under the direct management of the central government.

Moreover, since the beginning of Lu Bu in the Han Empire, except for the crown prince, who has his own fief, all other titles at all levels have only food and no fiefdom.

Whether it is a prince, a duke, or a marquis, they all treat them equally, and in addition to the prescribed proportion of taxes belonging to the lord of the eup, other administrative, military, tax and other affairs are managed by the local government, and the lord of the euphore has no jurisdiction.

As a result, the possibility of the local princes sitting on the throne was eliminated, and all power was highly concentrated in the hands of the central government, at least in the early and middle Han Empire, which ensured the power of the central government, and even more so the imperial power.

In addition, the separation of the military and the government from the local government and the supervision of each other have also minimized the possibility of armed secession of local forces.

All military and political officials should be rotated, and their term of office and garrison time in one place should not exceed three years, so as to avoid the formation of local forces and factions, and to avoid collusion between officials and local clan forces.

In addition, with Lu Bu as the leader, Fu Zhu and Wen Hui single-handedly in charge, they formed a political party group, the central idea and construction outline is the world is the great harmony of the world, the world is for the public, and even the name of the party is called, it is called the Civic Party.

All the clerks of the army at all levels naturally became the first members of the Civic Party.

In addition, many high-ranking officials in the central government and military organs, especially those who had followed Lü Bu since the annexation of the prefectures, spontaneously joined the Civic Party and rallied more closely around the leadership collective with Lü Bu as the core.

With the establishment of political parties and the improvement of various systems and regulations, the Civic Party has completed the initial stage of one-party dictatorship.

All the chief officials of the departments of the State Council of the central government are all members of the Civic Party, and the corps commanders and senior officers at the division commander level of the National Defense Force, the Haotian Army, and the Imperial Forest Army are also members of the Civic Party, without exception.

If anyone refuses to join the Civic Party, he will be deprived of his official and military positions, and he will only retain his knighthood and go home to retire!

The emergence of the one-party dictatorship further consolidated the imperial power of the Han Empire, and the political party served His Majesty the Emperor, and the emperor naturally became the supreme leader of the party, which was written into the party program.

All military academies have added political classes to strengthen the party's ideological education, and of course serving the country and the people is the focus of education.

All this is also Lu Bu's preparation for the implementation of a more democratic constitutional monarchy at some point in the future.

Just like what Lu Bu and others said, Lu Bu can guarantee that he will serve the country and the people, and will not be mediocre or debaucherous, but he can't guarantee his children and grandchildren, and the royal heirs can be as wise as him.

So it was necessary to find a way to restrain it, and he preached the advantages of constitutional monarchy to the public, although most of the ministers who had been educated in traditional ideology for many years at the beginning could not accept it, but there was always a leap of thinking, and the enlightened people were the first to understand the mystery.

The Senate of the Senate, which had been established before, was an attempt in this regard, and Lu Bu was determined to try to improve and improve these systems before his death, so as to prevent future troubles.

A large number of slaves were transported to Egypt via the Silk Road and put into the excavation of the Suez Canal, which greatly accelerated the progress of the project.

For these slaves, the overseers of the Han army are only responsible for the most basic food and clothing, and as long as you are alive, you have to contribute to the project.

After Cao Pi came to power, he tried in every possible way to incite rebellion and separatist forces in the Central Plains, and whenever there was a drought, locust plague, or flood in a certain place in Dahan, Cao Pi's people would inevitably appear and incite the people to make trouble and plan riots.

He also wanted to bewitch Liu Bei to rebel against the Han in Jiaozhou like he bewitched Gongsun Yuan, but was rejected by Liu Bei, who listened to Pang Tong's advice and expanded his territory in Southeast Asia with peace of mind, and no longer worried about Middle Earth.

In addition to occupying the three counties of Jiaozhou, Liu Bei also annexed Linyi, swept Funan, occupied most of the territory of the Funan Kingdom, and beat the Funan Kingdom to the west.

The Funan Kingdom was originally a branch of the ancient Indians, but now it was forced to flee back to its ancestral land.

Although Liu Bei occupied a large area of Southeast Asia and established a relatively powerful regime, he did not dare to make any attempt to oppose the Han Dynasty.

He sent envoys to the central government of Chang'an, bowed his head to the central government, regarded himself as a foreign state, and no longer respected the banner of the state of Wu, but followed Pang Tong's advice and used the banner of the kingdom of Linyi.

Liu Bei wrote a long, earnest letter to Lü Bu, in which Liu Bei expressed his true thoughts and vowed that none of his descendants would ever enter the Central Plains again, and that he would never betray the royal family of Middle-earth.

He was willing to widely spread the culture of the Han people in Southeast Asia, educate the barbarians in Southeast Asia with the etiquette and religion of the Central Plains, and instill the cultural thought that the Central Plains Dynasty was the upper country.

Lu Bu finally believed in Liu Bei's sincerity, he received Liu Bei's envoy with the highest standard, and personally canonized Liu Bei as the pro-Han king of Japan, and it was with Japanan as the country name of Liu Bei's regime that he registered in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Nichinan Kingdom was classified as a first-class vassal state of the Han Dynasty, enjoying various trade policies and receiving military protection from the Han Empire.

Liu Bei was also very knowledgeable and courtier, and to meet the needs of the central navy of the Han Empire, he set aside a harbor along the coast of Japan for the Han Dynasty as a military base.

In order to commemorate the brotherhood between the Han Dynasty and Ninan, this harbor was named Cam Ranh Bay, meaning that it is a good marriage.

In October 217, the central government officially announced that Gongsun Yuan was sentenced to death for treason.

This is also the first case of a death row prisoner sentenced for treason since the Ministry of Justice of the State Council carried out judicial reform, and it is also the first time in the history of the Han Dynasty that only one family was punished for serious crimes of treason.

According to Lu Bu's thoughts, he even only wanted to kill a few Gongsun Yuan people who participated in the rebellion, and other men, women, and children who did not have the fact of rebellion were all assigned to serve in the frontier.

This idea was unanimously opposed by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, who believed that such a precedent could not be set, that the rebels could not be allowed to have no scruples, and that in the words of Lu Bu, the cost of crime could not be too low.
