Chapter 179 establishes the era name

After listening to Situ Ce's six suggestions, Lin Feng sat on the soft couch, his eyes were half-narrowed, his mind was full of unrealistic thoughts, and he had begun to dream, began to hallucinate, and daydreamed.

With the Shang Dynasty's reform, Qin's economy developed, the army's combat effectiveness was continuously strengthened, and it developed into the richest and most powerful country in the late Warring States period, laying a century-old foundation for Qin. Zhang Juzheng changed the law to solve the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty and bring the Ming Dynasty back to life.

He was wondering if the implementation of the new policy in Yan today, removing the old and innovating, could also turn things around, change the situation, and make Yan a northern power, or even a power among the princes, and even a power among the princes, and even a top ten power!

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Lin Feng suddenly patted his head and sighed secretly, what kind of dream are you dreaming, there is no good thing in the sky that a pie falls.

If you want to be rich and strong, you need to be diligent and hardworking!

Situ looked at Lin Feng's expression of wandering, he didn't know what he was thinking, and when he patted his head for no reason, he became more and more puzzled, and said helplessly: "The matter of the new policy, the emperor supports it, and the ministers must do their best, and then die." ”

After Lin Feng's attention shifted to himself, Situ said again: "Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for several years, and you have not yet formulated an era name, it is time to establish an era name." The minister thought that in order to distinguish the emperor from the previous emperor, the reconstruction of the era name would help the emperor spread his deeds. ”

Belch! The era name? Lin Feng had never thought about this thing, if Situ didn't say it, he seemed to have forgotten, I don't know how his predecessor did it, since he sat on the throne, it seems that he has no era name.

The year name, he also remembered, later generations from Qin to the early Han Dynasty did not have an era name, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne and created the first era name. The founding year is Motokaku. And posthumously called "Yuan Hunt" before the name of "Jianyuan", "Yuanguang", "Yuanshuo".

Since then, a system has been formed, and the emperors of all dynasties have to change the era name whenever they encounter major events and important events such as auspicious fortune from heaven or internal strife and external worries.

An emperor uses as little as one era name. More than a dozen. For example, there are 14 in Tang Gaozong; Most of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties had a year name, so later generations used the era name as the emperor's title, such as Emperor Yongle, Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Kangxi, etc.

This era, in this respect, has nothing to do with later generations, it seems that the vassal states, also have no era names, but a little recall. He remembered that this era had an era name. However, hundreds of years ago, the First Emperor established Great Xia, and later the Great Zhou, both had era names. Can be the Great Zhou declined. The princes competed for hegemony, the countries fought, and after the Jin State destroyed the Zhou, the era name was abolished.

Now Situ proposes to set up another era name, which is just picking up the tradition of his ancestors. After thinking about it, Lin Feng nodded and agreed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called the creation of the era name Yuanjiao, his life achievements. It is the goal of their own struggle, and the year name is also called Yuanzhen.

Let alone. With the distinction of the era name, it is just to distinguish his merits from the previous emperor, and more importantly, with the era name, he will have a general concept of time, and what he does every year will be clearly expressed.

"Situ, how to take the word Yuan Hunt, Yuan, has the meaning of head, head, beginning, big, hunting has the meaning of conquest."

"Very good!" Situ said: "It shows the emperor's ambition. ”

Lin Feng was embarrassed, this time he was just stealing the fruits of other people's labor, but Emperor Wu was his idol, stealing the idol's things, how could it be called stealing, borrowing, yes, it was borrowing, Lin Feng comforted himself.

There is no way, there is not enough ink in the chest, and in terms of poetry and songs, he often has to learn from the ancients, and after a long time, he will get used to it.

"Situ, the year name is drafted, and it will be promulgated in the first month of next year, but in order to highlight the achievements of Yan this year, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival must be expanded, but I also want to invite envoys from various countries to move the military parade ceremony at noon gate on the first day of the new year."

"The military parade has been going on for a long time, and the largest military parade in recent years was not intended to be the year before last, and this year's military parade in Yan State can review the troops, train the army, and deter the princes or enemies, killing two birds with one stone." Situ agreed with Lin Feng's suggestion, but his face was worried. said: "The military parade will inevitably expose the strength of the Yan State, and the minister thinks that exposing the strength too early will cause unnecessary trouble, after all, if it is too strong, it will be feared by the princes of all countries, and if it is too weak, it will not achieve the effect of deterring neighbors, and the emperor will have to think twice!" ”

Lin Feng lowered his head and pondered, still not changing his original intention: "The scale is smaller, but the elite troops must be fully expressed." As the saying goes, the soldiers are not more than the fine, what strength we have, we know, but we also have to tell the people who peep at Yan Guo to bully Yan Guo, you had better keep your eyes open and be careful not to kick on the iron plate. ”

Whether it is ancient times, later generations, or this world, the military parade is to put it bluntly, that is, to let others know and know, I have goods, don't mess around.

However, Yan Guo's current situation should not be too aggressive, after all, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng still understands the truth of shooting the first bird.

"Got it!" Situ smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lin Feng got up, walked down the soft collapse, moved his muscles and bones in the warm pavilion, looked at the weather outside, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Nanhu area of Shaoliang County, and it is estimated that it will take ten days to go back and forth, and it will not be long left, it will be the New Year. ”

When he went to the Nanhu area, Lin Feng didn't plan to bring many people, as long as there were members of the Black Clothes Society and the Iron Regiment, he also planned to bring the Wen Ji Division, the Military Wen Ji Division was the best at it, and he was not afraid that he would suffer a loss if he talked with Lin Shuying.

Song Kingdom, Kaifeng, Imperial City!

In order to prepare for the meeting at Nanhu, Lin Shuying attached great importance to winning over the Yan Kingdom, which would be very beneficial to the situation of the Five Kingdoms to attack the Song Dynasty in the coming year, otherwise the Song Kingdom would definitely fall into the quagmire of war in the next few years.

After five years of dormancy, the achievements made will be in vain.

Kaifeng is very far away from the South Lake of Shaoliang County, almost five times the distance of Yan Kingdom, therefore, Lin Shuying is all ready, when Lin Feng and the courtiers discussed the implementation of the new policy, the Song State got the news, Lin Shuying and the courtiers after the meeting, they were ready to go.

On this trip, Lin Shuying led a lot of people, including the emperor's brother Song Qi, the strategist Jian Ye, and Tian Xu, all of whom were important ministers in the court.

The team was opened, with 3,000 heavy infantry of the Shenji Battalion and 2,000 light infantry guards from the trapping camp, both of which were the elite of the Song State.

The three major battalions of the Song State, the Shenji Battalion, the Trap Camp, and the Crossbow Battalion, are all infantry, except for the royal guards as cavalry, there are few cavalry in the Song State. ‘

However, no matter who dares to despise the infantry of the Song State and thus invade the Song State, the outcome may be similar to that of the Jin State, which is known for its cavalry, and the only situation is to be divided by the Jin State.

The infantry of the Song State was strong in combat, and the military system was similar to that of the professional armies of later generations, so it can be said that the Song State raised a group of executioners, demons who killed people without blinking.

But these are not the most powerful performances of the Song ** team, the reason why the Song ** team makes outsiders jealous is that it is all because of the various siege equipment in the Shenji Battalion, these things, even Lin Feng, who came through in later generations, was so frightened when he first came into contact.

The Shenji Battalion, with its status in the Song Kingdom, is equivalent to the treasure of the town, with a lofty status and strong combat power.

In addition, the trapping camp and the crossbow battalion also have their own good records, attacking the main force of Liangming Pass, it comes from the trapping camp, the so-called trapping, in fact, refers to the invincibility of official duties, invincible battles, and the best individual equipment of the Song State.

The 5,000-man infantry was immense and spectacular. In the center of the brigade, there was a very large carriage that could accommodate more than a dozen people, or, to be exact, a mobile motorhome, made of golden silk nanmu, with gold trimmed edges and red lacquer on the outside, four wheels on each side of the left and right, and ten fine white horses in front of it.

Outside the carriage, it was extremely luxurious, decorated with silk and satin, and purple beaded curtains flowed down from the ceiling, and dazzling red lines covered the entire body. The pale yellow curtain swayed in the wind. All of a sudden, it looked magnificent. It can be seen how rich the Song Kingdom is.

Inside the car, the floor of the carriage paved with fine white jade shines with warm light, the phoenix spreads its wings on the cornices carved from sandalwood on both sides, and the floating window decoration carved from gold and silver, etc.

Just the ordinary emperor riding in a carriage, or called the dragon chariot, shows the wealth and strength of the Song State, with the 5,000 infantry outside, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the country is rich and the people are strong.

In the carriage, Lin Shuying sat in the center, her eyes were hazy, and she seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep, but the thick music beside her could be seen that even on the way to negotiate, she was extremely busy.

At the entrance of the carriage, Song Qi, Jian Ye, and Tian Xu sat outside, riding with the emperor, which was a great gift to the three of them.

However, at this time, Lin Shuying summoned the three of them up, not to let the three of them feel the majesty of Longen, because there were important matters to discuss.

Recently, the spies have continuously passed on the things that happened in Dayan's country to her, about the Yan State gaining a large number of cavalry in the north, about the new policy of Yan State, about Murong Qiyan entering Yan for help, about the war in the Black Flag Pass, and many other things, she read them one by one.

Even, even what Lin Feng said in private, at night, staying in that mother's dormitory, she knew everything well, like a few treasures.

In the steady stream of intelligence, after learning that Lin Feng was acting in China, she realized more and more that it would not be wrong to unite the Yan State to fight against the five-nation coalition army, not to mention anything else, the Yan army captured 140,000 Donghu cavalry in the north, and 70,000 under the command of Ma Hasu, and now the generals of Donghu are lobbying to retract those former Donghu cavalry in the Cangyan Mountain area.

She privately estimated that in this way, in just over a month, the Yan Kingdom had added at least 200,000 cavalry, most of which were the elite cavalry of Donghu, especially the 50,000 elite cavalry of the Amur tribe, and the 20,000 iron cavalry of the Donghu royal court led by him, these teams could almost fight on horseback.

Thinking of this, she counted the number of the Yan ** team again, and couldn't help but be surprised, in two years, the Yan Kingdom has increased from 60,000 cavalry to 500,000, most of which have participated in many battles.

I can't help but look at Yan Guo with admiration, today, the Yan Kingdom under Lin Feng's governance is like a balloon, it is very small when it is deflated, but it can be blown up very big, and the territory of Yan Country is very small, but when the war comes, the number of troops is extremely large, which makes people jealous.
