Chapter 255: Establishment of the Emperor

Bang Bang Bang!

Amid the continuous sound of firecrackers, the three-year battle finally arrived, and the Gyeonggi area, which had been peaceful for a long time, became a sea of joy.

At this moment, people from all eras are celebrating this moment of family reunion.

Red lanterns are hung high in every house, red couplets with beautiful meanings are pasted in front of the door, plates of delicacies exuding a strong New Year's flavor are served to the table, and clusters of children happily surround the adults to beg for New Year's money in the sound of silk and bamboo firecrackers.

The tragedy that occurred in Xiaozhuang Village a few days ago was quickly covered up by a strong festive atmosphere before it set off a single wave in Gyeonggi.

The only thing that puzzled some people was that the originally prominent He Mansion in the west neighborhood of Wangdu was seized, and two days later it was actually renamed Ba Fu, and according to some nearby people, the owner of Ba Fu was still a very young and beautiful woman.

On this day of national celebration, a rumor quickly spread in the Gyeonggi area.

Sima Yu, the king of the south, is going to be the emperor!

This is exciting news, and in the light of the recent return of important ministers and generals from all over the country, the people of Gyeonggi almost immediately believe in the accuracy of this news.

In the past year, Sima Yu, the king of the south, has launched several major wars, and the territory under his rule has expanded from the original Yongzhou to the four states of Yongzhou, Kuizhou, Jinzhou, and Gongzhou, and the registered population under his rule has exceeded 13 million.

This is a leap breakthrough, under the full operation of the southern royal palace, the transfer of power in the three states has basically been smoothly passed, various policies to benefit the people have gradually been implemented, the people in various places have been attached, and the entire southern king has a thriving scene.

At this time, the name of the king of the south was no longer enough to continue to rule such a vast area and people, which was not conducive to encompassing hundreds of officials, and the persuasion of officials and people from all over the country was getting louder and louder, and it was imminent to establish a country and become emperor.

On the seventh day of the first month of the fourth year of the Great Controversy, Sima Yu, the king of the south, held a grand ceremony to worship the sky in the eastern suburbs of the royal capital, and returned to the royal capital in the anticipation of hundreds of people after completing the sacrifice, and officially announced the emperor's throne in the southern palace in the support of hundreds of officials.

After the enthronement ceremony, at the court, Guoyuan immediately announced the military and political structure of Huaguo and a series of related appointments.

In terms of government affairs, three provinces and six ministries and the Imperial Historical Observatory were officially established in the central government.

This is before ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Sima Yu had listened to the suggestions of Wang Meng, Guoyuan, Xu Shu, Xiang Lang and others before deciding to abolish the system of three princes and nine secretaries from the Han Dynasty adopted by the original southern royal palace, and instead adopt the three-province and six-ministry system that was fully developed in the Tang Dynasty.

The system of three provinces and six ministries began in the Eastern and Western Jin dynasties, developed and evolved through the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and evolved with the development of the dynasties, and was further improved in the Tang Dynasty, and was the highest government agency of the central government.

The three provinces mainly include Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province is in charge of the formulation of central decrees and policies, Menxia Province is responsible for auditing, and Shangshu Province is responsible for implementation.

The officials of the three provinces performed their respective duties and jointly assisted the emperor in handling the affairs of the court. Zhongshu Province placed one person in the book order, two people, two waiters, three products, six people in the book, five products, and a number of officials such as the housekeepers, living houses, and colleagues. Under the door, there is one person in the province, two products, two people on the left and right, three products, and a number of officials such as doctors, living rooms, records, principals, and ceremonies. Shangshu Province placed one person in Shangshu Ling, two products, one person on the left and right servants, one person on the left and right, one person on the left and right, and one person on the left and right, and four products.

Under Shangshu Province, there are six departments, namely, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry, each of which has jurisdiction over four divisions, a total of six departments and 24 divisions.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer and other affairs of officials below the fourth grade in the country.

The Household Department is in charge of the territory, land, household registration, taxation, remuneration and all financial matters of the country, and consists of four divisions: the Household Department, the Degree Branch, the Finance Department, and the Warehouse Department.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonial affairs and ridicule and imperial examinations, and consists of four divisions: the Ministry of Rites, the Department of Ancestral Hall, the Department of Catering, and the Department of Host and Guest.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection and awarding of sergeants and military attachés throughout the country, concise instructions, as well as all matters such as military orders, military status, military training, and military resources.

The Criminal Department is in charge of the legal decrees, criminal laws, and prohibitions of the state and the prohibition of the country, and consists of four divisions: the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Official, the Ministry of Justice, and the Division.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of civil engineering and water conservancy projects and the administration of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry (except military horses) and fishery of the state, and consists of four divisions: the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Tuntian, the Ministry of Yu and the Ministry of Water.

Each ministry has a Shangshu person, a third grade, two waiters, from the three products, Langzhong, the staff outside the Lang, the director, the envoy and other officials.

Yushitai is the highest supervisory organ in the country, set up a doctor of the imperial history, is three products, the imperial history of the Cheng, the imperial history, the palace of the imperial history, the supervision of the imperial history and other officials, divided into three courts and assigned officials to the three provinces and counties, although the rank is not high, but the position is clear, there is the right to supervise and impeach hundreds of officials.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although the central government's official system has undergone great changes, the original county system is still used at the local level, and the standards for the division of counties and counties and the allocation of official ranks remain the same.

With the establishment of the three provinces and six ministries and the imperial history platform, a large number of official positions need to be filled by a large number of officials, which is just used to serve the vassals.

Guoyuan, as the first old man to follow Sima Yu and the founder of the entire Huaguo, was named the Zhongshu Order, and was always in charge of the national confidential decrees.

Wang Meng, a talent for governing the country, made significant contributions to the rectification of the rule of officials and the development of the local economy after being put under the command of Sima Yu. Under it, the left and right servants were temporarily idle, and Xiang Lang served as the secretary of the ministry, the famous Confucian Zhong Xuan of the Han Dynasty served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Shu served as the secretary of the military department, and Cui Zhouping, the former governor of Shangfeng and Shidao counties, served as the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

Shangsheng Fan Li, in order to persuade Wu Han to make suggestions for Sima Yu, served as a provincial servant under the door, and discussed national affairs with Zhongshuling and Shangshuling.

Due to the initial establishment of the imperial court, the system of three provinces and six ministries had just been established, and the original officials and talent reserves of the shogunate of the southern king were insufficient.

As for the Imperial Historical Observatory, Liu Xuanchu, under the command of the former Kong Youde, assumed the post of Imperial Historian, and the officials of the three lower courts were also selected by the officials of various counties and counties.

In terms of the military system, the recruitment system is adopted, which is mainly composed of four parts: the Central Army, the North and South Battalions of the Marine Division, the Overseers and the local county soldiers.

The Central Army is composed of the five armies in the southeast, northwest, and center, and the left and right guard armies.

Among them, the five armies of the east, west, south, north and central still maintain their original establishment, with 50,000 troops in each army and 60,000 in the middle army, Li Dingguo as the general of the expedition to the east, Li Mu as the general of the expedition to the south, Qin Liangyu as the general of the expedition to the west, Hu Luguang as the general of the expedition to the north, and Wang Yanzhang as the leader of the army.

The left and right guards were adjusted again, both expanded to 25,000 men per army, Wu Song was the commander of the left guards, and the vulture was the commander of the right guards.

Under him, Zhao Yun, Wang Yantong, Long Wei, Long Meng, Xiong Kuohai, Honda Zhongsheng, Xiang Tiao, Xiang Chong, Xiang Chong, Shi Dan, Bai Yunxuan, Feng Guoyong, Feng Sheng, He Bayun, He Batyue, Liu Shijie, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, Hu Chuquan, Che Liji, Chu Yunxuan and other generals served as the armies.

The north and south battalions of the Navy Division were led by Yu Dayou and Jiugui Jialong respectively, and each battalion maintained an establishment of 50,000 people.

After Meng Heng of Kuizhou surrendered to Sima Yu, in order to assist Meng Heng in resisting the invasion of the Hunan army in the south, the northern battalion of the naval division moved to Kuizhou, and the southern battalion of the naval division moved to Zhongba Island, the northern camp of the original naval division, under the leadership of Jiugui Jialong, to protect the upper waterway of the Yangtze River.

In addition to the Fifth Central Army, the North and South Battalions of the Navy Division, and the local county soldiers, on this basis, the establishment of the Overseer's Office was also added, which was mainly set up in various military important places.

At present, there are five military overseers that have been set up in the entire territory of China, namely in the northern part of Yongzhou, the southern part of Changzhou, Kuizhou, Gongzhou and the southern part of Jinzhou, with a total of 240,000 soldiers.

In the north of Yongzhou, the three counties of the military office were set up, and Murong Han served as the overseer, from the official position of Sanpin, the general jurisdiction of the three counties of Yunlong, Chenshi, and Jinsha, and the military supervision office had 30,000 soldiers, mainly to guard against the northeast of Yongzhou.

In the south of Changzhou, the two counties of Shangfeng and Shidao were set up to supervise the military office, Cui Zhouping was transferred to the central government to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and was succeeded by the former deputy marshal of the Northern Army, He Basheng, who had 30,000 troops under his jurisdiction, mainly responsible for resisting the threat from the northwest side.

The Kuizhou Governor's Mansion was set up in Kuizhou, and Meng Heng served as the governor, a second-grade official position, responsible for the military and political affairs of Kuizhou, and the governor's palace had 80,000 soldiers.

The Gongzhou Governor's Mansion was set up in Gongzhou, nominally served by Ren Gui, the king of Yuewang, but the real power was in the hands of Sima Guohuai and the busy tooth chief around the Governor's Palace, with 60,000 soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion and the headquarters of Gongzhou's various departments.

Set up the five counties in the south of Jinzhou, Qin Liangyu, the general of the western army stationed in Jinzhou, concurrently served as the general of the western army in Jinzhou, from the second official position, the general jurisdiction of the five counties of Bailu, Sanli, Pinggang, Dingxing, and Datong in the south of Jinzhou, and the military supervision office has 40,000 soldiers, responsible for resisting the threat of the Nanyi people that the three states of Zi, Yu and Xi may face in the south.

In this way, counting the Central Army, the North and South Battalions of the Naval Division, and the Five Great Overseers, the regular army of the entire Chinese country has reached the scale of 650,000 people.

Under the rule of Sima Yu, the total number of county soldiers in the seventy-eight counties of the four states was nearly 200,000, plus the Jinyi Guard Yamen distributed in various places, and the military service population of the entire China Kingdom exceeded 900,000.

This ratio is still below the normal level for China, which has a population base of more than 10 million.

However, with the sorrow of the various armies of China, Sima Yu is enough to deal with a major war that may occur at any time.

In the first year of the emperor's reign, this year left an extremely strong mark in the history books of later generations, and it was in this year that the huge empire of the Hua Dynasty announced his arrival to the world for the first time with a rising posture.
