Chapter 630: Lu Qian wants to be the emperor
"After three years, the Jurchens have invaded Liao for the second time, and they will definitely hold on."
In the Fengtian Palace, the civil and military ministers of the Qi State gathered, and Lu Qian shared the news from the north with everyone, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while. As we all know, the Jurchens negotiated peace with the Khitans, in fact, they swallowed elephants with snakes - from the first Wanyan tribe, the north of the Sumo River (now the second Songhua River), the northeast of Ningjiang Prefecture (now located in Dongshichengzi, Fuyu County, Jilin Province), a radius of more than 1,000 miles, and 100,000 Jurchen tribes. Then the non-stop army went straight south. In just two years, he captured the entire Tokyo Province and defeated the counterattack of the Khitan army.
Isn't this a real-life version of a snake swallowing an elephant?
This is over, and he is forced to negotiate peace with the enemy in order to give himself time to digest the results of the battle.
Heaven is to protect the Jurchens again, and the most basic rules of the operation of all things cannot be changed. If you want to be strong, you must eat and digest together, and the two complement each other, so that 'people' can be strong and strong.
Three years ago, the Jurchens had already eaten enough, and they could only stop their steps and try to digest the food in their stomachs in order to make themselves stronger and stronger. And when the Jurchens completely absorbed and digested their prey earlier, it was the death period of the Khitan.
This is already the cognition of the martial arts and important ministers in the Yidu court.
"Emperor Tianzuo, drunk and addicted to music, birds are all deserted. is also like that Zhao Ji, who has already suffered a great disaster, but he is especially not awake, reprimanding Zhongliang and appointing the small group. Refusing to admonish and pretending to be wrong, being poor and extravagant, entrenched in hunting, and slandering with credit, so that precious time is wasted, and all the respite is missed. Nowadays, the Khitan internal turmoil is violent, the discipline is lax, the people are angry, the Jin people take advantage of it to attack it, and our army is the rear together, and it will be able to sweep away the world in one fell swoop. ”
Gai because Lu Qian never forgot the Khitan's Nanjing and Xijing, and it was convenient for them to say it clearly when Yan Xiyin sent an envoy to Yidu, so this Jurchen fought together, and it was difficult for the Khitan to really want to be immortal.
"The king's intention, isn't it that he has to prepare his troops and horses now, so as to flank the Khitan?" A group of generals led by Lin Chong, their eyes lit up at this time, and they were ready to go.
Lu Qian didn't speak, but looked at Zong Ze and Wen Huanzhang. The two didn't speak, and it was Zhao Mingcheng who came out first.
"I don't think so. At this moment, the army is ready to prepare for the horses, and Lin Dudu is in a hurry. The Khitan is a big country in northern Xinjiang, and even if the national strength is decadent, it is not easy to be bulldozed. The minister thought that our army was now sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which was even more profitable. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Chen Guan took a step forward and said. "Today, there is a lot of trade between China and Northern Liao. If the Khitan war is tight, the sword soldiers and armor will definitely be more dependent on our country, and there will be great interests during the period, so we must be cautious. Chen Guan, who is already the left servant of the household department, has a very good vision to focus on commercial interests, which is the biggest difference between him and Zong Ze and Wen Huanzhang, who are genuine scholars. He is a mercenary hero.
After some argument, Wen Huanzhang spoke. "King Rongyu, that Jurchen has already given birth to the idea of Saibei together, and our dynasty should also speed up the pace and dominate the world as soon as possible. In this way, the whole army went north, Le Shi Yanran, smashed the Yellow Dragon, recovered Liaodong, and reproduced the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”
The minister thought that he could make people travel to Hangzhou, speak out about his intentions, and then let General Qin show off his troops and force Manichaeism to obey. At the same time, the sea boat division was raised and forced into all parts of the southeast coast, so that the Southern Song Dynasty could not afford to parry one or the other. forced the Southern Song Dynasty to be poor and surrendered. In this way, only Shu and Song in the Central Plains are left in Sichuan, how can they still be a disaster for the Central Plains? "This is an idea that has been inherited in China since ancient times, and it was not invented by Chang Kaishen. Although when Lu Qian knew this sentence in his previous life, it was really because of Chang Kaishen.
"Hearing what the prime minister said, the old minister seconded it." Zong Ze is in his sixties, but he really doesn't see a trace of old age. Energetic all day.
However, the old minister thought that today's overall situation has been completed, and the world is just around the corner. The southern and northern expeditions of the army were like a bamboo, and the good news was frequent, and the situation was very good. The king is more prosperous, persuades farmers and mulberries, and hundreds of millions of people in the world return to their hearts. Therefore, everything is ready, and the king should ascend the throne as the emperor as soon as possible, and the beginning of the Yuan should be the top. ”
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military ministers of the palace were stunned at first, this kind of persuasion was actually taken away by Zong Ze, who has always been upright, and many people wanted to slap themselves at this moment, and then they echoed in unison. With Lu Qian's current momentum, he should have been called Emperor Jianyuan a long time ago, and this king is still very different from the emperor.
Not to mention that as soon as this dynasty is established, it will inevitably be a big vassal, which is a huge incentive for the civil and military soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty.
At this time, it is indeed time to plan for the enthronement ceremony.
"Since three generations in China, the most righteous person in the country is Liu Han and me. When the puppet gets into trouble, there is no suspicion of relying on authority; Eliminate violence for the people, and there is no intention of foreseeing the artifact. ……”
“…… Therefore, opening the foundation and starting a business, which is not only the prosperity of the prosperous world, should be the people of the heavens, and should be the throne of the king. If you are bowing to the number of calendars, you must be in the palace, and you will bow down to the public and please the honorific title as soon as possible. ”
The court discussion of the day did not spread, but on the first day of August, Zong Ze and Lin Chong took the lead at the court meeting, and hundreds of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty jointly wrote to Lu Qian, asking him to be enthroned as emperor. I can't hide it anymore.
According to the rules of ancient China, Lu Qian naturally asked for three times and thanked him three times, and made three advances and three resignations to show his piety and respect. Although he felt that it was really a bit too fake. But people have come to this point, and the general trend has been achieved, so they naturally have the leisure to play this set of virtual work.
These days, the persuasion that flies from all over the country is sparse, and the bookcases are piled up like snowflakes.
These three invitations and three thanks, three advances and three resignations, are not just time for the local civil and military officials, as well as Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, and Zhong Xiang. By the time this set of virtual work was completely gone, the time had already entered the end of the year. There is good feedback in all aspects, Natian Hu, Fang La and others, and even the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom, have all gone to Yidu in person.
Manichaeism had to bow its head under the general trend, and in the past six months, the Nguyen brothers have gained a firm foothold in the Ryukyus. The local natives were no match for the well-trained Liangshan Shui Master with bright swords and armor at all. Even if the land combat capability of the naval division is not comparable to that of the continental division, there is no obstacle at all.
The Penghu Islands in the north of the Ryukyus began to be settled by Han people in the late Tang and early Song dynasties. Of course, there are also sporadic Han people working on the island of Taiwan.
The arrival of the Ruan brothers naturally broke the peace here, but under the power, the weak have no room for opposition. The Ruan brothers have been silent for a long time, and now they can fight, it is the tiger that descends the mountain and the dragon enters the sea. There is a scorching fire flowing in my heart, fighting with the Southern Song Dynasty with one mind, where do I have the leisure to take care of the Shengfan and Han immigrants on Ryukyu Island?
That is the one who goes along with it, and the one who goes against it perishes. All dissenting voices are suppressed; All resistance will be wiped out.
The army easily defeated the hastily assembled fleets of the officials on the Fujian Road and the Guangnan East Road, and the latter had no regular sailors at all, so they could only recruit sea ships and sailors from the local large households, but the gentry and giants in the Lingnan land were not all stupid, how could they not understand the crumbling of the Southern Song Dynasty regime? They cheerfully supported the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, and they may not be the root cause of the family's demise in the future.
But under the pressure of Zhao Song, it had to be like this, if such a fleet could still have strong combat effectiveness, there would be ghosts.
While the Ruan brothers went south, Li Junbu stayed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, faintly threatening the Manichaean sailors. Coupled with the threat of the Qin Ming Department in Jiangnan and the Chao Gai Department in Jiangnan West Road, what else can Fang La do? He could only obediently go to the negotiation table, praying in his heart that Lu Qian would be merciful for the sake of Weng's son-in-law.
As a result, Fang Tianding, who came forward to discuss matters with Chai Jin, blew up on the spot when he heard that Lu Qian was going to send them to the Western Regions, or even farther and westerner than the Western Regions.
"It's not such a bully."
But it is different from going to the Western Regions, but he appreciates Lu Qian's guiding ideology of wanting them to build a country alone. They originally thought that Lu Qian was going to devour Manichaeism completely, but they never thought that there would be such a good thing. That Fang Ladu is already ready to retire for the rest of his life.
However, the whole thing was not discussed in October. The difference is too great.
Manichaeism is willing to go south, just like the Ryukyus occupied by the Ruan brothers, then Qiongzhou is even more south of the Ryukyus, where people can grow and make a living, how can Ryukyu not work? But the news from Yidu was that Lu Qian could tolerate Manichaeism not going west, but Ryukyu could not give it to him. It was too close to the mainland, and the geographical location was even more crucial, so he wanted to collect it for his own use. If Manichaeism does not go west, then go south.
At the southern end of Wanli Shitang, there are also the kingdom of Jawa and the kingdom of Srivijaya.
The strength of those local kingdoms should not be underestimated, and the natives are numerous, and they are located in the tropics, the climate is very different from that of the Central Plains, and the southernmost Lingnan land in Middle Earth, the so-called hot and humid land, is far from being comparable with Southeast Asia.
If you want to completely conquer this land, you don't know how many casualties and money you will need to pay in the future. Governance is even more troublesome.
Therefore, it is not a pity for Lu Qian to divide the heroes and generals under his command.
Even these feudal states can become the 'garbage dumping grounds' of the new dynasty. The landless and bankrupt peasants and small citizens in China are negative dregs if they stay in China, and if they are sent overseas, they will shed blood and contribute to the 'expansion of territory'.
In order to gain more Han people, the owners of the feudal kingdom needed to preach about the advantages of immigration and promise great conditions, so that many people in Middle-earth who could not survive would be tempted to leave their homeland and move overseas for the sake of the former.
For the Lu dynasty, this is not only an opportunity to clean up the dregs of its own society, but also a deterrent to the rich families under its rule.
- If the conditions you give are not good, the tenants who farm for you may go away.
In this way, we can alleviate class contradictions and alleviate social contradictions to the greatest extent, and the one who benefits must be the Lu family.
Many overseas feudal states want to gain a firm foothold and continue to expand, not only to increase the population, but also to have a strong army. And in order to maintain its own military force and people's livelihood economy, it is necessary to tie up with the Lu dynasty in Middle-earth.
The latter is their greatest reliance and their roots.
Lu Qian didn't know how much the population of those overseas feudal countries could grow in his lifetime. But he knew that in order to establish a feudal state in today's Southeast Asia, the various materials needed would be astronomical. Isn't that a huge market?
Thinking about it, those overseas feudal countries must maintain frequent economic and commercial exchanges with the country.
If such a large framework is built, so that the Central Plains has a place of inclined garbage and a huge economic market, Lu Qian feels that the life of the dynasty he has established will inevitably jump out of that "three-hundred-year circle".
