Zhang San didn't expect that the war against the Jurchens would be so smooth, he originally thought that the Jurchens would resist for a long time, but he didn't expect that he could really block the other party directly in Liaoyang City, and now that the Jurchens are finished, Zhang San felt that there was no pressure immediately in the face of Liao.

The finishing work of the Jurchen War was handed over to the Goryeo and Murwei people, and Zhang San's 100,000 army crossed the Liao River with the intention of directly attacking Shangjing and taking Yelu Yanxi to end the war, while the Liao State's response to these 100,000 troops was not to destroy, but to concentrate the main force of 200,000 to Shangjing for defense.

The harmful troops were nervous in vain along the way, and when they arrived in Shangjing, the troops had not yet started fighting, and the Liao State actually sent an envoy to talk about surrender, these people under the city were not happy, and if you want to surrender, you don't surrender early, I have worked hard for hundreds of miles and are just ready, you surrendered, isn't this playing with me?

But people came to talk about surrender, if you don't ask the emperor to fight directly, it's not appropriate, just send someone to inform on the one hand, and send these envoys to Kyoto on the other hand, after Zhang San received the news, after thinking for a while, he replied directly, asking the other party to lay down his arms and surrender out of the city, otherwise he would directly break the city.

So when the envoy of the Liao State had not yet arrived in Jinzhou, Zhang San's ultimatum had been sent to Yelu Yanxi, surrender or resist, there was not much time left for the Liao State, and finally Yelu Yanxi instigated surrender.

For Yelu Yanxi, he is also very helpless, in the past few years, the war has been going on for years, the elite troops have long been exhausted, the treasury has long been empty, and there are no soldiers or money if they want to fight, these Han troops are like wolves and tigers, and they will be destroyed with a powerful Jurchen backhand, what else can he do?

The surrender of the Liao State meant the end of the main war in the north, and the war that had been planned for two years was fought in half a year, which was a good thing for Zhang San, at least a lot of money could be saved.

At the end of the war, the Mongolian department was quickly rebuilt, and the Murowei and Haizhou Jurchen cavalry were also sent to Mongolia, and the Mongols over there became more and more troublesome, and it was time to sort it out, and the Goryeo and Wa kingdoms also withdrew to the country, and 100,000 troops were stationed on the spot to guard the Liaohe Plain.

The 100,000 Han cavalry went west to the Tiande army of the original Liao State to defend the Western Xia, the war on the northern front ended, and the world was peaceful immediately, and the Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to withdraw the attacking troops, and the Western Xia did not dare to send scouts across the border.

Zhang San now has no kung fu to fight, but to prepare for the Han Dynasty ceremony, ignoring the trembling Great Song Dynasty, Zhang San began to consider whether to take the opportunity to defeat the Western Xia and the northwest region of the Great Song Dynasty, here is not only the Central Plain but also the Hetao Plain.

As the saying goes, 'the Yellow River is a source of harm' and that owning the Hetao Plain is of great significance for controlling the Mongolian steppes, and it is now in the hands of the Western Xia, which is also an important capital for the Western Xia to always confront the Song Liao.

If Zhang San reoccupied the Hetao, then the transportation of grain from the entire north would have become much easier, and transporting grain from the Hetao to Mongolia would have saved at least thousands of miles, especially for the control of the west, which was of greater significance.

Therefore, even if the economic situation is not optimistic, even if the rebellion in many areas has not been cleared, Zhang San hurriedly sent the Han cavalry to the vicinity of the Hetao.

But it is not only a matter of the Hetao to lay down the Hetao, the Hetao is not a plain matter for the Western Xia, it is their lifeblood, so if Zhang San wants to move the Hetao, he must be prepared for a full-scale war with the Western Xia.

And for Zhang San, it is better to directly destroy the Western Xia, and the province's diaphragm should be the people, such a regional force in Zhang San's opinion The biggest problem is not whether it can be fought or not, but the supply problem, which is too barren.

Now the Great Song Dynasty still holds a large area of land in the Hexi region, and for transportation, it is far less convenient and fast to transport materials to the grassland than to Yan'an Mansion, and it has to be transported to the south, which is a few hundred miles more, and the material loss has at least doubled.

This is because the Great Song Dynasty has a complete road, and the Liao Kingdom only has a road, this kind of road is not a road for later generations, but a road for horses to come out, and only horses can walk on the road.

Therefore, taking Yan'an Mansion with the help of the perfect road system of the Great Song Dynasty, transporting materials and hoarding materials, and striving to destroy the Western Xia next year has become Zhang San's top priority now, although the cavalry troops said that they could easily destroy the Western Xia with a month's supply, but Zhang San still vetoed their battle plan.

Zhang San didn't like to fight uncertain battles, so he just took this opportunity to take down all the land on the north bank of the Yellow River to facilitate the construction of the new Yellow River dam, and the opportunity that Zhang San said was the opportunity of the founding ceremony.

According to the usual practice, if Zhang San established the Han Empire, it would be tantamount to a provocation to the dignity of the Great Song Empire, and the Great Song Dynasty would declare that it would not recognize it in order to maintain the reputation of its central empire or to prove its orthodox identity, and even directly send troops.

Then Zhang San can take this opportunity to teach the Great Song Dynasty a lesson, and logically take the few cities on the north bank of the Yellow River that are still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, such as Lanzhou, and then lay down Shaanxi, so that Zhang San has a complete transportation channel from the imperial capital to Shaanxi, and realizes the rapid hoarding of materials with the help of the transportation capacity of the Yellow River.

In July, so the war ended, Zhang San's founding ceremony was selected on August 1st, it is said that it was auspicious, anyway, Zhang San only needed to read all kinds of sacrifices and then worship various temples to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials.

However, before the founding of the country, it was customary to promote the military rank and vassals, so military-level units appeared, and with the expansion of the country, Zhang San needed to send a unit army that could be commanded independently in a certain aspect, and an army of 50,000 to 80,000 people was enough to face any country in the world now.

The number of new national ministries and commissions has also increased, not to mention that six ministries are not enough, that is, ten are not enough, and finally Zhang San directly demarcated twenty-three ministries, and set up four prime ministers on the basis of twenty-three steps.

One right minister and three left ministers, so that the cabinet meeting will be lively, in addition to these newly established official positions, Zhang San also officially granted five principalities, and more than ten marquis, in short, the scale of this reward is very large, and only one Great Song is left after the war.

At that time, after the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, the scale of the reward would not be so large, and after that, these ministers would be fifty or sixty years old, and they would be driven back to their feudal kingdoms one after another, so there would be no need to kill meritorious heroes or anything.

Just when Zhang San's plan was made, suddenly news came from Hebei that the Yellow River in the Lanzhou section was broken, flooding several states, and the five elements of Hebei were affected.
