On this day, the lord of Huainan, Yang Wu, the king of Wu, officially established the state and became the king in Jinling City.

As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jinling City, after more than 300 years of suppression by the Sui and Tang dynasties, once again a new dynasty built its capital here.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Yang Wu, surrounded by all the ministers, ascended to the main seat of the main hall in the palace in Jinling City, and accepted the congratulations of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Yang Wu officially announced in public that the Great Wu State was officially established with immediate effect, with the country name Wu and the year name changed to Wuyi.

On the issue of the era name, at the beginning, some people proposed that since the Tang Dynasty should continue to be orthodox, then the era name of Datang Tianyou should continue to be used.

However, there are also many people who oppose this point of view, after all, the Tang Dynasty has long since perished, and Tang Zhaozong, the user of Tianyou's era name, has been dead for many years, so there is no need to continue to use Tianyou's era name in this case, it is better to take advantage of the establishment of the new country to change the era name together.

Yang Wu is naturally more inclined to the latter point of view, although he is under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty, but in his heart he is eager to reduce the influence of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible, and at the same time gradually cut off the connection with the Tang Dynasty, so the matter of changing the yuan has become a foregone conclusion.

On the matter of choosing the era name, there was also a lot of controversy among the ministers, and the proposed era names were even more varied, with no less than dozens in total.

But Yang Wu finally chose "Wuyi" as his era name.

The reason for this choice is that the meaning of this era name itself is good, and Yang Wu likes it more; Second, Yang Wu remembered that the founding of Wu seemed to be the same era name in history, and Yang Wu used it to remind him that it was difficult to start a business and it was even more difficult to keep a business.

After ascending to the pole, it is naturally the time to divide the hundred officials.

Regarding the setting of the central department of the Wu State, it had been announced to the ministers before the founding of the country, and now all Yang Wu needs to do is to announce the candidates for the ministers.

First of all, the candidates for the three scholars of the cabinet, with Gao Miao as the head of the auxiliary Hua Gaidian scholars, as the head of the hundred officials; Li Shenfu was a scholar of Wuyingdian University and a privy envoy; Zhou Yin is a scholar of the Mandarin Palace and an inspector of imperial history.

These three candidates have been determined a long time ago, and the ministers have no opinions.

The candidates for the six Shangshu are, Tao Ya, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Luo Zhixiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Lu Shu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Chen Yanqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Yin Wengui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Among these people, Luo Zhixiang is good at financial management, and before that, he was the salt and iron envoy of Huainan, responsible for Huainan's financial income and expenditure, etc., and now he is naturally no one to oppose further serving as the head of the household.

Lu Shu, the secretary of the criminal department, was the first batch of people to serve as a civilian assassin when the military and the government were separated, this person had served in the Jiedu embassy for many years before serving as the assassin history, and he had been conscientious and hardworking.

Yin Wengui is erudite and talented, and as a Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty, he is proficient in various etiquette systems, so there is no problem for him to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

And Chen Yanqian, not to mention, although this person has been placed in Jinling as a assassin, he has no sense of existence in the center, except for the construction of Jinling City in recent years, ordinary people will not notice him; However, everyone knows that he is actually Yang Wu's person, not only discovered by Yang Wu himself, but also pulled up by Yang Wu, plus his outstanding political achievements in Jinling, and his qualifications in the position of assassin for so many years, it is suitable to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry now.

However, the appointment of Liu Wei and Tao Ya is a little surprising.

Liu Wei and Tao Ya are standard meritorious veterans, their status in Huainan is very respectful, and their prestige is very deep, and only a few people such as Li Shenfu and Zhang Xun can compare with them in Huainan today.

When the separation of military and government was first implemented, there were rumors in Guangling that Yang Wu appointed one of the two as the governor of Huaibei and the other as the governor of Lianshui, both of whom were constrained by many parties and held positions in name only, which was to deprive them of their rights by means of rising and descending secretly.

Although few people talk about this statement, and they only dare to do it in secret, many people think that it is true.

It wasn't until the beginning of this year that Liu Wei and the others were renamed governors of Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and they were reused again, and the previous rumors gradually subsided.

However, some time ago, with the imminent founding of the Wu State, there were sudden rumors in Guangling City that after the establishment of the Wu State this time, both of them would enter the center to serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry in the Six Ministries.

After all, the two of them hold great power in the local area and are in charge of one side, and when they go to the Central Ministry of Work and the Criminal Department, not only do they not have much real power, but their status is below the three scholars, which is naturally not as good as the previous governor's position.

Although few people spread this rumor, there are still some people who believe it.

Now Yang Wu suddenly appointed the two as the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the ministry, although it is the same as the rumors to a certain extent, but everyone will no longer think that this is a bright rise and a secret fall.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War are different from the rumored Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, and their actual power is not trivial, especially the Ministry of Officials, which is the first of the six departments, second only to the positions of the three scholars.

Yang Wu appointed the two of them to these two important positions, obviously the so-called rumors before were nonsense.

As for the governors of the two, they were held by Li Yu and Li Tao respectively.

In the center, in addition to the six ministries, there are several other institutions that are parallel to the six ministries, such as the Dali Temple, whose power has been greatly improved, and its temple secretary is Yang Tingshi.

Although Yang Tingshi is relatively young, and he was not conspicuous before, he is vigorous and resolute, and he has an upright personality, and he is even more prominent in the trial of Zhang Chong's case, and now he is appointed to Dali Temple.

The two deputy envoys of the Privy Council are still Zhu Jin and Yan Keqiu.

For the time being, the position of Ducha Yushi is concurrently held by Zhou Yin.

As for the squires of the six ministries, they chose people with good qualifications and merits from among the civil and military officials to fill them.

In short, in today's first cabinet, the previous Huainan ministers are still generally appointed, Yang Wu did not wantonly choose his own cronies, and the people used were those with higher ability and seniority, which made the ministers can't help but be encouraged and shouted long live.

In addition to building a new central structure, Yang also made major adjustments to the military system.

The first is to change the control of the Crane Army to the Yulin Army.

Although the name of the Crane Control Army is also a branch of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, it is naturally inferior to the orthodox Son of Heaven's pro-army of the Yulin Army.

In the past, Yang Wu would take care that Datang was still there, so he didn't use the name of Yulinjun, and now he naturally doesn't need to have those scruples.

In addition to changing the name, Yang Wu also ordered an increase in the strength of the Yulin Army, from the current 5,000 to 10,000, mainly responsible for guarding the palace and being responsible for personal protection during Yang Wu's personal expedition.

At the same time, because of the increase in troops, the situation of having five commanders in charge of commanding and controlling the Crane Army was naturally unsuitable.

Yang Wu changed the Yulin Army to three parts on the left, the middle and the right, each of which was three with 3,000 people, each led by a Yulin Zhonglang general, and the specific candidates were Diao Yanneng, Li Chan, and Zhongli.

As for the remaining thousand people, they are actually cadets.

According to Yang Wu's idea, cadets in military academies must undergo two years of training before they can graduate, and according to their performance, they will serve as captains, deputy captains, or even captains after entering the army, and at the same time recruit 500 cadets every year, or 1,000 in two years.

In this way, as long as the military academy continues to be opened, 500 trained cadets will enter the army every year, and in the long run, even if the state of Wu enters a relatively stable period of peace, the army will not be allowed to quickly become corrupt and degenerate because it has not been tempered by war.

In addition to changing the Yulin Army, the former Waizhen Soldiers and Yawai Soldiers are now collectively known as the Forbidden Army, while the local state soldiers have been renamed the Xiang Army.

The Forbidden Army was responsible for guarding the center and conquering the regions, while the Vans were responsible for guarding the states and taking on some relatively minor tasks.

In addition to the name change, the number of the forbidden army has also increased significantly.

Today's forbidden army has a total of seven armies with a total of 140,000 people, and this time Yang Wu directly ordered the number to be increased to ten armies and 200,000 people.

The one-time expansion of three armies by 60,000 people was the first large-scale expansion in the history of Huainan.

However, after the annexation of Jiangxi, coupled with the fact that Zhejiang has now been completely digested, the strength of Wu has been greatly improved, and there is no problem in expanding the army.

As for the source of officers and generals, with the continuous emergence of the younger generation of generals in recent years, and the cadets of military academies have begun to graduate one after another, there is no need to worry about the selection of candidates.

The three newly established armies were named the Right Town Martial Army, the Right Town National Army, and the Right Heaven Martial Army, and the previous three titles would naturally add a "left" word.

In this way, the number of the forbidden army of Wu State was expanded from the previous 140,000 to 200,000, and the military titles were the left and right Wuxiang Army, the left and right Tengxiang Army, the left and right Zhenguo Army, the left and right Zhenwu Army, and the left and right Tianwu Army.

In terms of garrison, Yang Wu decided to station five corps near Jinling to guard the center, and five corps to guard the frontier.

Among them, the left and right Tengxiang armies continued to be responsible for guarding the northern Huai River defense line, the left and right Wuxiang armies were stationed in Ezhou and Jiangxi respectively, and the right Tianwu army was responsible for guarding Zhejiang; The remaining Zuo Tianwu Army, the left and right Zhenguo Army, and the left and right Zhenwu Army all stayed in Jinling.

When the three armies are newly established, it is naturally necessary to appoint three governors, which is also an extremely important matter.

Yang Wu unceremoniously directly appointed Zhu Siqing as the governor of the Youzhen Wujun, and ordered Liu Xin and Wang Juan to be the governors of the Youtian Wujun and the Youzhen Wujun.
