Chapter 388: Enthronement
On March 17, 214, the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian issued the last edict, announcing to the world: Liu Xie imitated Yao Shun, and Zen was located in Jiang Sheng, the king of Jin!
On March 20th, the enthronement ceremony was held!
Xun Yu resigned, and Xi Zhicai acted as the prime minister of the Ministry of Law and Political Affairs, as the master of ceremonies of the enthronement ceremony, seeing that the time had come, he announced loudly: "The enthronement ceremony starts now, start the honor guard, welcome the new emperor!" ”
The band played music, which was the parade song that Jiang Sheng copied, and the people in the capital cheered, and Lu Bu invested all the Xuanjia cavalry as escorts, all of them were nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.
Outside the city, the troops participating in the enthronement parade have been assembled.
Jiang Sheng was wearing a new bright yellow dragon robe, and under the escort of the honor guard, he slowly walked from outside the palace gate.
The guard of honor passed by which square, and the team on this side knelt down collectively, and the mountain shouted "Hurray!" ”
Finally walked to the Qinzheng Palace, and the civil and military officials collectively knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Jiang Sheng stepped onto the throne, turned to face the south, glanced majestically, then sat down and said to the people inside and outside the palace who were still kneeling: "Flat!" ”
The guards passed from mouth to mouth until they reached the palace gate, and people stood up one after another.
Jiang Sheng said to the little yellow door beside him: "Declare! ”
Xiao Huangmen held the edict in his hand, and then read it aloud. The content is nothing more than announcing the name of the era, amnesty to the world, rewarding meritorious heroes, and the like.
Because when the capital was moved to Luoyang, Jiang Sheng's reform of the official system had already begun to be implemented, and this time it could be continued, without much change, only the section of the King of Jin was changed, and the three provinces were directly responsible to the emperor.
In order to avoid unnecessary remarks, although Jiang Sheng was enthroned as emperor, he was still called Han and his year name was Yong'an.
The Jin and Han national flags he designed were golden dragon flags with a red, green and blue stripe pattern as the base.
The navy battle flag is a blue gold dragon, the army battle flag is a green gold dragon, and the royal forest military is a red gold dragon, which has changed the previous practice of using the general's surname as the flag pattern.
Although the ministers advised Jiang Shengxin to ascend the throne and not change his name was unlucky, Jiang Sheng did not believe in evil and persevered.
Although Jiang Sheng was called Han, in order to distinguish it from the Liu family, he was renamed Jiang Jin Han Dynasty.
After the enthronement ceremony, Jiang Sheng inspected the troops for the first time as emperor, and the avenue outside the palace gate was renamed Yongan Avenue, and the military parade was held on this avenue.
After the enthronement ceremony, the state officials returned to their jurisdictions and vigorously propagandized, the court called Jiang Jin Han Dynasty, but the outside is called the Jin Dynasty, the history is recorded as the Western Jin Dynasty, and Jiang Sheng is the Jin Taizu.
After the Yuan change, Liu Bei and Sun Quan issued a document denouncing Jiang Sheng for plotting to usurp the throne and forming a coalition to attack Jingzhou, falsely claiming to be "Jiang Sheng, a thief in addition to the country"!
Jiang Sheng had just ascended the throne, and before his ass was hot, the Sun-Liu coalition army began to attack.
The two armies of Dian Wei and Xu Huang were the first to fight, and under the cover of Cai Mao's army, they forcibly landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River and fought a fierce battle with the vanguard army led by Lu Xun.
Lu Xun skillfully took advantage of the criss-crossing waterways and the opportunity that the cavalry could not give full play to their advantages, and won three battles and three victories, Xu Huang's army lost more than 7,000 people, so he had to build fortifications on the river bank to ensure that the follow-up troops could go ashore smoothly.
Tai Shici stayed in the sea off Songjiang for a few months, and received an order to withdraw and change clothes, so he set sail early in the morning and headed north.
Jiang Qin, who was monitoring Tai Shi Ci's navy, found that Tai Shi Ci's navy had disappeared without a trace overnight, and hurriedly reported Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu ordered Jiang Qin to send three fighting ship formations to the sea to investigate, and found that Tai Shi Ci had indeed withdrawn, so that the fleet set up underwater obstacles at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Zhou Yu didn't know why Tai Shici suddenly withdrew, but the most important thing at the moment was to build a water defense line, so it didn't matter so much.
After a year of overtime processing and manufacturing, 25 frigate-class ironclad ships, six destroyer-class ironclad ships, and one cruiser-class command ship were delivered to the navy, which were equipped with thunderbolts, fire dragon arrow launch compartments, and flat-fire artillery, and the rudder was also equipped with a telescope system.
The power is a steam engine, which liberates manpower, and the endurance and maneuverability are greatly enhanced.
Tai Shi Ci watched the technician of the shipyard explain the operation and weapon system of the ironclad ship in detail, and felt that it was like a dream, the steel monster could float smoothly on the water.
The original large ships dismantled the weapon system, modified the nets, and delivered them to the Qingzhou Fishery Company, and the marine fishing industry was established.
The original assault boats were still assigned to the navy for landing operations.
Every ship was planted with the naval battle flag of the blue background and the golden dragon, Tai Shici stood on the deck of the command ship, full of emotion, with this kind of ironclad ship, the naval army of Soochow is like garbage.
In particular, weapons called artillery, which fire iron bullets, are indestructible.
After the ammunition and supplies were replenished, Tai Shici ordered to set sail, and this time he could abuse the Soochow fleet.
After the departure of Tai Shici's fleet, the Qingzhou Naval Base completed the assembly of two supply ships, and at this point, Jiang Sheng's navy had formed a comprehensive battle formation, and it was no longer difficult to dominate the ocean.
With the southward movement of the navy, Jiang Sheng also began the first imperial expedition after becoming the emperor, and everyone persuaded Jiang Sheng to just ascend the throne, and it was not appropriate to do it in person.
Jiang Sheng was unmoved, he was familiar with history and the tricks of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, which all generals did not have.
After Jiang Sheng arrived in Xiangyang, he ordered Cai Mao to put all the warships side by side in the Jiangxia section of the Yangtze River, connected by iron cables, and covered with thick wooden planks, which is equivalent to a pontoon bridge, where cavalry and mechanized troops can be unimpeded, and standing on the bridge, you can vaguely see the situation of the opposite red cliff.
Ladies and gentlemen, may think that Jiang Sheng is not the same as Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi in history? In this way, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang must have attacked with fire.
Please don't worry, how could Jiang Sheng not know, he had already thought of a later move.
A few days later, the fog was thick, and Jiang Sheng and the generals were drinking and having fun on the flagship behind the pontoon bridge.
Jia Xu and Guo Jia were both worried about whether the other side would take the opportunity to make trouble, after all, the Jiangdong soldiers were familiar with water warfare, while most of the Jiangbei battalions were northern soldiers and were not familiar with water warfare.
Jiang Sheng said: "There will be movement in Jiangdong today, and the orders of all departments will proceed as planned, and the enemy will definitely retreat." ”
Sure enough, I could hear the war drums in the river, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer.
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, I really let you say it, but this movement doesn't seem to be fake." ”
Jiang Sheng said: "The Sun-Liu coalition army is in close contact with us, and they can't take any advantage, so they attach importance to long-range weapons, according to the manufacturing capacity of Eastern Wu and Western Shu, there is a serious shortage of arrows, and this bluff must be here to borrow arrows." ”
"Borrowed arrows?" Everyone asked in unison.
As he was talking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the guards reported: "The commander of Jiangxin Water Village wants to see the emperor!" ”
"Jiangxin Water Village?" The crowd was puzzled again.
