Chapter 367 Grand Plan (continued)
At the beginning of December, Yang Wu issued an order to take Liu Wei, the former governor of Lianshui, as the governor of Jiangxi, and control the military and political power of the eight prefectures in Jiangxi; With Tao Ya, the governor of Huaibei, as the governor of Zhejiang, he controlled the military and political power of the two Zhejiang and ten states of the original Qian Biao, and his official position was above the history of the assassination.

Of course, their military power is limited to the state soldiers of their respective states, while the soldiers of other towns are not under their jurisdiction.
As for the previous posts of Huaibei Governor and Lianshui Governor, they were abolished, and no new candidates were appointed.
In addition to appointing the two as governors, Yang Wu also ordered the governor to set up political envoys and envoys and other subordinate officials, with Li Yu, the assassin of Guangzhou, Li Tao, and several other outstanding assassins.
As soon as these appointments came out, Huainan officials thought about the meaning of this.
If it is said that the two official positions of Huaibei Governor and Lianshui Governor were temporarily made by Yang Wu, the territory under their jurisdiction is only a temporary division, which is nothing; However, the two posts of Jiangxi governor and Zhejiang governor appointed this time are completely different.
Jiangxi and Zhejiang, before that, were the territories of Zhong Chuan and Qian Biao respectively, but now they are divided separately by Yang Wu, and Liu Wei and Tao Ya are appointed as governors, and at the same time they are equipped with subordinate officials, so does this mean that Yang Wu intends to formally establish an administrative level above the history of assassination?
For example, if Hunan is conquered in the future, will a Hunan governor be set up? After conquering Fujian, he set up a governor of Fujian?
If that's the case, it's a bit of a big impact on the local assassins.
First of all, in the past, the history of the assassins was directly under the jurisdiction of the Wu Wangfu, but now Huainan has the territory of thirty-five states, and the territory is large, and it is difficult for the Wu Wangfu to effectively manage, which means a higher degree of autonomy for the local assassins.
And now there is suddenly an additional governor, who is above the assassins, which means that the official authority for these assassins will be greatly strengthened.
On the other hand, the addition of a governor's position also means that they are more likely to be promoted to governor in the future.
In the past, because there were fewer high-level positions in the Wu Palace, most of the assassins may have been in the official position; Now, if the governor becomes a permanent official position, plus subordinate official positions such as political envoys, then they are naturally more likely to be promoted in the future.
In addition to this, this reform had another major impact on the local assassins, that is, their status was greatly reduced.
In general, although Yang Wu's move had a lot of impact on Huainan officials, it had advantages and disadvantages for all officials.
So after some heated discussions, the situation in Huainan fell silent again.
Next, Yang Wu did not make any other moves, and seemed to be waiting for Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation of the throne.
In the first month of the fourth year of Tianyou, the Son of Heaven ordered all the Chinese military officials of the DPRK to go to the mansion of Generalissimo Zhu Quanzhong to persuade them; at the same time, the persuasion expressions of the towns of Ma Yin in Hunan and Liu Yin in Lingnan also arrived in Luoyang, which greatly boosted Zhu Quanzhong's prestige and the calls for persuasion in various places became more intense.
However, this time, the persuasion of hundreds of officials was still rejected by Zhu Quanzhong.
On February 13, the Son of Heaven once again ordered Xue Yiju to go to Bianzhou to convey the meaning of the Zen position.
This time, Zhu Quanzhong finally accepted the Zen concession of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty amid the cheers of the ministers.
On the 27th, the Emperor of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty officially issued the Imperial Zen to Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang, and at the same time ordered Zhang Wenwei and Su Xun, the chief and deputy envoys Yang Shi and Zhang Ce, the envoys of the national treasures, and Xue Yili and Zhao Guangfeng, who were responsible for commanding the Chinese military officials to prepare for the law to go to Bianzhou to complete the final Zen ceremonies.
Since then, the Tang Dynasty, which had been extremely glorious and lasted for 289 years, has completely collapsed, and Chinese history has begun to enter a new era.
On the fourth day of the first month of March, Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang, drove to the Jinxiang Hall in Bianzhou and began to accept hundreds of officials as ministers. The documents issued by the king of Liang also began to be called "teaching" and "order", and he called himself a widow.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, all kinds of documents such as notes and tables removed Li Tang's year name, and only called the month and day. On the 16th, Zhu Quanzhong changed his name to Zhu Huang.
On the 18th, King Liang wore a crown and officially became the emperor, and he was the emperor of Later Liang.
On the 22nd, he ordered a general amnesty to the world, changed the yuan to "Kaiping", the country name "Daliang", took Bianzhou as the Kaifeng Mansion, called the eastern capital, and took the original eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty Luoyang as the western capital, abolished the Tang Dynasty Xijing Chang'an, renamed the Da'an Mansion, and placed the national army.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was crowned Chan Rang was the king of Jiyin, and he moved him to Caozhou, and ordered the armor to be strictly guarded.
At this point, all the processes of Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation and ascension to the throne can be regarded as complete.
However, in the process, there was a small episode, which made the joy brought by the emperor to Zhu Quanzhong mixed with a trace of unhappiness.
Before Zhu Wen (later known as Zhu Wen) officially usurped the throne, his brother Zhu Quanyu repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with his rebellious behavior.
After Zhu Wen became emperor, a big banquet was held in the Xuande Hall to entertain the ministers.
Zhu Wen raised his glass and said with emotion: "I have not been in power for a long time, and I can have today, this is all due to your loyal support!" ”
Yes, at this time, Zhu Wen finally got his wish to ascend the throne and become the emperor, Rao is that he is ruthless and cunning on weekdays, but at this time, he can't help but sigh.
However, after hearing this, the ministers were ashamed and frightened, after all, it was rare for Zhu Wen to be so emotional, who knew whether it would be a blessing or a curse for them, so he could only kneel on the ground and not know how to answer.
Only Su Xun, Xue Yiju and Zhang Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, praised Zhu Huang's merits, which was a move that should be done by the people.
This flattery naturally attracted Zhu Wen's great appreciation.
After the banquet, Zhu Wen and the relatives of the Zhu family were in the palace to play for fun.
However, when everyone was happy, Zhu Quanyu suddenly threw the wine glass and hit the pitcher set up, disrupting everyone's game.
Zhu Quanyu squinted at Zhu Wen, who was dressed in the crown of the Son of Heaven, and said: "Zhu San, you were originally just a small person in Dangshan County, and you followed Huangchao to cause trouble for bandits, and it was the Son of Heaven who appointed you as the envoy of the Four Towns, and you are extremely rich!" How can you destroy the three-hundred-year-old society of the Tang Dynasty overnight and claim to be the emperor! Your actions will surely lead to the catastrophe of exterminating the clan in the future, why are you still in the mood to play a game here?! ”
In the face of such a brother, although Zhu Wen was angry in his heart, he could only forcibly endure his unhappiness and hastily ended the banquet.
Of course, although he was scolded by his brother in front of everyone, there were no more accidents in the process of ascending the throne.
After ascending the throne, it is naturally the time for the great heroes.
First of all, the first hero was naturally the strategist Jing Xiang who contributed the most to Zhu Wen's southern and northern wars, and Zhu Wen directly ordered him to be crowned as the secretary of the Zhichong Political Academy, and his position was more important than that of the prime minister.
And other generals such as Li Zhen and Xue Yiju who contributed the most in the process of Zhu Wen's usurpation of the throne were also rewarded.
In addition, Zhu Wen ordered the canonization of Ma Yin, who had just defeated the invasion of the Huainan army and gained great momentum, as the king of Chu, and canonized Liu Yin, the Qing naval festival in Lingnan, as the king of Dapeng.
At the same time, Wei Bo was changed to the envoy of Tianxiong Festival, and Luo Shaowei was canonized as King Ye and Taifu; changed to the envoy of the Dejie to the envoy of the Wushun Army, and canonized Wang Rong as the king of Zhao and the prince; Seal the Yiwu Festival to make the king directly serve and serve.
He also crowned Zhu Wenzu for several generations, and sealed the clan, that is, Zhu Quanyu, the brother who did not deal with him, was also canonized as King Guang.
Of course, in the end, Zhu Wen did not forget to order the dismissal of Hedong Li Keyong, Fengxiang Li Maozhen, Yang Chongben and Huainan Yang Wu, the official titles of the most fierce opposition to him, although this did not work at all, but it was okay to disgust Yang Wu and others.
However, this move obviously did not disgust Yang Wu and others.
And just as Yang Wu had predicted, when the dust settled on the matter of destroying the Tang Dynasty and usurping the throne, the major feudal towns that had maintained their acquiescence before jumped out at this time, claiming to raise troops to fight against Zhu Wen.
Among the many feudal towns, Wang Jian, the king of Shu, and Yang Wu, the king of Wu, were the most active in the crusade against Zhu Wen.
At the end of March, when the news of Zhu Wen's official accession to the throne and proclamation of the emperor came, Wang Jian and Yang Wu jointly spread the word to the feudal towns, asking for troops to be sent to fight against the rebel Zhu Wen.
However, when the text was transmitted to Li Keyong, the king of Jin, and Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, the attitude of the two was the same: "It's okay to fool those who don't know the details, if you want to fool the lone king, let the lone army touch Zhu Wen's moldy head, it's easy to think about it!" ”
Speaking of which, among the major powerful clans in the world today, the most fierce opposition to Zhu Wen in the early years was naturally Li Keyong, the king of Jin, followed by Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, as for Wang Jian, everyone knows that this person is just dedicated to himself, and he has no intention of crusading against Zhu Wen at all.
At the beginning, Zhu Wen made a big crusade against Li Maozhen, and when the two sides were still deadlocked, Li Maozhen and Zhu Wen both sent envoys to ask Wang Jian for help, but Wang Jian promised Zhu Wen that he would send troops to fight against Li Maozhen, and on the other hand, he swore to Li Maozhen that he would send troops to rescue him and let him resist Zhu Wen's attack first.
In fact, Wang Jian quickly raised troops to take advantage of the fire to loot and seize Xingzhou and other places that he had long fancied.
This time, Wang Jian's so-called army to attack Zhu Wen was also just to expand his prestige, and he didn't really want to send troops.
However, Yang Wu was so active in agitating to send troops, but Li Keyong and others were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what his purpose was.
You must know that according to the information they have inquired about, the Huainan Army is not just talking, but really deploying troops!
Not only the army living in Guangling, but also the army living in Jiangxi and Xuanzhou seems to be moving.
Such a large-scale mobilization is only needed for the Northern Expedition, and if the troops are used elsewhere, so many troops should not be needed.
At the beginning, Yang Xingmi's crusade against Zhu Wen was active, and he sent troops to the Northern Expedition many times; Yang Wu also launched a huge Northern Expedition last year, and achieved extremely important results, which brought heavy losses to the Liang army.
However, judging from the current situation, Zhu Wen has just been proclaimed emperor, and it is the time when the momentum is stronger, and it may not be a good time to start the Northern Expedition at this time.
With Yang Wu's resourcefulness, he will not fail to see this.
What's more, Li Maozhen and Li Keyong didn't see that Yang Wu was so loyal to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so what was his intention to raise troops for the Northern Expedition at this time?
In fact, not only Li Keyong and others were surprised, but Zhu Wen also didn't understand the purpose of Yang Wu's big move.
Yang Xingmi just died of illness last year, and although there was no internal turmoil in Huainan, according to the estimation of Zhu Wen and others, Yang Wu's best choice at this time should be to stay in Guangling to stabilize people's hearts.
Even if he doesn't need to stay in Guangling, the Northern Expedition is not a good time at this time, and it can be done slowly; Therefore, Zhu Wen felt that Yang Wu must have hidden other purposes under the momentum of the Northern Expedition.
"So what is Yang Wu's purpose?"
At this time, in King Wu's mansion, Li Shenfu and others were also asking about Yang Wu's purpose.
At the same time as he and Wang Jian jointly spread the message to all feudal towns, Yang Wu also ordered the requisition of Qin Pei's department in Hongzhou and Wang Maozhang's department in Xuanzhou, making a large-scale northern expedition, which made Li Shenfu and others confused.
"I know that you are all wondering why Lone would mobilize troops to Guangling at such a time, but do you think that Lone's mobilization of troops is really for the Northern Expedition?" Facing everyone's doubts, Yang Wu asked with a smile.
"Lone is doing this just to seize the states in the south of Jiangxi in one fell swoop!"
"For the sake of the states in the south of Jiangxi?"
"Yes, let's imagine, Fuzhou Wei Quanji, Qianzhou Lu Guangchou, Jizhou Peng Ji, these separatist side of the assassin history have deep roots in the local area, and there are also a lot of troops, coupled with the remote terrain of the local area, it is difficult for our army to send heavy troops to attack. In this case, if our army launches an attack on these states with a small army, when will we be able to capture them one by one? Yang Wu explained.
The generals were pondered when they heard this, they had predicted that if one state attacked one state at a time, it would take at least three or four years to capture the entire southern states.
If the war is unfavorable, or even if there is a defeat due to some accidents, then the process of reunifying Jiangxi will be further delayed.
However, listening to Yang Wu's words, it seems that he already has a big plan to deal with Wei Quanyi, Peng Ji and others.
I only heard Yang Wu continue: "On the other hand, if our army transfers all the troops stationed in the south back to Guangling in the name of a large-scale northern expedition, only a small number of troops will be left in Hongzhou. In this way, with the ambition of Hongzhou, Lone didn't believe that he would resist sending troops to attack! ”
