Chapter 607: The Rising Sun Celebrates the Nation
As the saying goes, a person ascends to heaven when he gets the Tao, and the same is true of today's Zhennan Kingdom.
Since Li Nan has agreed to be the emperor, these civil and military ministers who have followed him for many years will inevitably rise with the help of the dragon this time.
The ministers dispersed separately, preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and in the backyard bedroom where Li Nan lived, it was now in full bloom, and the room was full of warblers and swallows.
Among Li Nan's many concubines, although they come from different worlds and the daughters come from different backgrounds, after no one has ever been in a country, they can't help but be a little confused when they think that they are about to become a noble imperial concubine.
Natasha and the others from later generations are still fine, but those daughters who were originally from humble backgrounds are in chaos in their minds at the moment.
Pan Jinlian was originally a lady who sold cooking cakes and martial arts, and she only followed Li Nan after leaving, and Master Li not to mention, if she hadn't left with him back then, I'm afraid she would have tasted it now.
And the most surprising thing is Ludia from the Roman world.
Ludia has a lively brain and is very capable of doing things, but she has a penchant for vanity, which is why she has done a lot of wrong things in Rome.
Now that she knows that she is going to become the noble princess of a new empire, Ludia is really hit by this huge surprise and can't come back to her senses for a long time.
Seeing the appearance of many beauties around him at this time, Li Nan couldn't help laughing and asked, "Concubines, what title do you want?" ”
Li Nan's words woke up these beauties, although they are sisters on weekdays and get along harmoniously, but who doesn't want to have a higher reputation?
Seeing this, which really attracted their attention, Li Nan lightly pinched the pretty faces of the women, felt the smooth feeling like congealed cream, and pointed to the big bed with a wicked smile and said: "As the old saying goes, those who have the ability live in it." If you want to get something, you need to work hard for yourself, and I think that's true, what do you think? ”
When these beauties heard Li Nan's nonsense, they instantly understood what he meant, and suddenly they all had pretty faces, and they were infinitely shy.
Needless to say this night, in order to get Li Nan's favor, all the girls naturally did everything possible to enjoy and flatter, so that this faint gentleman of his own family enjoyed a sexual life that was better than that of a fairy.
-------------
Since the country is to be established, many things need to be changed, such as the old name of Zhennan Kingdom is more like a vassal of the Song State than an emperor, and where the capital of the new country needs to be established, which is the primary problem.
Li Nan personally admired the Han Dynasty, but the ministers thought that it was ominous to repeat the name of the previous generation, and finally discussed it and proposed it as the Chinese Empire.
Compared with the location of the new capital, determining the name of the country is actually the easiest thing.
Regarding the location of the capital of the Chinese Empire, it can be said that ten people will come up with ten places and corresponding reasons, and no one can convince anyone for a while, and the ministers and Li Nan studied for several days, but still did not decide.
Everyone has their own thoughts, and the composition of Li Nan's ministers is extremely complex. For example, the old minister of Jiaozhi, Li Daocheng, proposed that the capital be located in Thang Long City, where not only Li Nan had his home, but also a ready-made imperial palace could be used.
Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and others were all from the Song Kingdom, and the capital in their minds was Tokyo City, while the servant leaders Huang Anping, Mo Wenquan and others thought that Guizhou City was better.
In addition, some people think that Suzhou, Hangzhou and Guangzhou, which are convenient by sea and land, are more suitable, and some people think that Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can ensure the safety of the capital, and so on.
In fact, when it came to building the capital, Li Nan's first thought was Beijing, but his proposal was opposed by everyone.
At this time, Beijing was the Youzhou Mansion of Nanjing of the Liao State, and not long ago the Song State took great pains to buy it back from the Jin State, which was also called Yanjing.
Not to mention when the Chinese Empire will be able to occupy Yanjing, just saying that this city is located in the far north does not meet the requirements for establishing a capital.
Today's Chinese Empire, from the Indochina Peninsula in the south to Hunan Province in the north, most of the territory is in the southern zone, so the capital should be set in the south.
After a month and a half of discussion, Li Nan and his ministers finally selected the capital of the Chinese Empire by elimination.
In terms of information transmission and convenient transportation, the location of the capital city was very important as the political and cultural center of the Chinese Empire, so Sichuan, Jiaozhi, and Dali, which were laborious to build roads, were the first to be ruled out.
From a security point of view, the coastal and border provinces cannot build capitals, because this is the first stage of the enemy's invasion, and once the first attack hits the capital of the country, the consequences are very serious. Therefore, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places were all excluded.
After removing these areas, there were actually not many options left, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two places of Jiangling and Changsha, and finally Li Nan decided to build the capital of Changsha.
Changsha, known as Tanzhou in ancient times, also known as Star City, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which is very convenient both by land and by land. If the capital is located here, you can not only look south of the Indochina Peninsula, but also look north to the Song and Jin countries, which can be called a very good choice.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, according to the record of "Jing Chu Years Chronicle", because of the midsummer climbing, Shunyang is on the top, May is midsummer, and its first noon day is the day of ascending Shunyang good weather, so the fifth day of the fifth month of May is also called the "Duanyang Festival". In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the "Midday Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Yulan Festival, Poet's Festival" and so on.
On this very day, the Chinese Empire was founded!
The provinces, cities, counties, and villages under the jurisdiction of Zhennan Kingdom, as well as the army, have all been replaced with newly customized national flags, and countless national flags flutter in the air, announcing the official birth of a powerful empire from today.
Because the founding emperor Li Nan started from Lingnan, and there is the word Nan in his name, so the national flag is the red flame of the southern fire. There are two dragons with different images on the rectangular flag, one is the golden dragon representing the eastern China, the other is the black dragon representing the west, the double dragon is in the shape of two dragons playing with pearls, and the middle is the earth.
The news of the establishment of the Chinese Empire spread all over the country, and in fact, no matter whether it was the island country, Goryeo, or the Western Xia, Zhenla, and Song Jin countries, they were not surprised by the fact that Li Nan was established as emperor. Comparing hearts to hearts, if you put them in Li Nan's position, I am afraid that they would have done so a few years ago.
The Chinese Empire did not follow the chaotic official system and title system of the Song Kingdom, but used new titles, such as prince, prince, prince, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron, and three titles of duke, marquis, earl, son, and baron.
The ranks in the army were also changed, using the more mature fifth rank and fifteenth rank from later generations:
General officer level 3: general, lieutenant general, major general;
Rank 3: Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major;
Lieutenant 3: Captain, Lieutenant, Ensign;
Non-commissioned officer rank 4: warrant officer, sergeant, sergeant, corporal;
Soldier 2: Private and private.
At the same time, Li Nan, who was revered as the Emperor of Civil and Military Affairs, also gave the long-awaited reward to the civil and military ministers who had followed him for many years, as well as the concubines of the harem.
