Chapter 15: The United Han Empire

Liu Xing defected, and when the Ministry of Internal Affairs carried out a secret arrest, the person had already fled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The follow-up investigation found that Liu Xing had actually had three different enterprises in the Han Empire and the Han Republic through the means of supporting puppets over the years. All the proceeds of these enterprises are used to cultivate his own intelligence system and private army.

The dead soldier who assassinated Liu Wei was the dead soldier who was raised under his command. In addition, he also cultivated a special forces force that is no less than the special combat team, with a small number of 50 people, and probably about 90% of the combat effectiveness of the special combat team.

According to the follow-up investigation, Liu Ye has always been Liu Xing's middleman, and only through him can he get in touch with enterprises in the other two countries and control them remotely.

The earlier situation could not be investigated, after all, Li Yu was only the head of the autonomous region at that time, and Yuan Chang had not yet taken office, so it was naturally impossible to investigate everyone's behavior. The only thing that is certain is that Liu Xing once joined the Han Soul, or that he himself is also one of the legacies that Liu Hong left to future generations.

It's a pity that this inheritance is obviously not very obedient, otherwise it would not have been possible to assassinate Liu Wei. In the past, after he came to the autonomous region, he once told Li Yu that he hated Liu Hong, but now that he thinks about it, it may be true.

This is not surprising, he himself is a son-in-law, and his grandfather is Situ and a relative of the Han family, and his ability has a bright future. Their descendants don't even need to do anything to enjoy the rest of the shade in peace. Who knew that in one day, not only his grandfather, but even his father's generation were all killed, and he himself was also demoted to a commoner, how could he not be hateful for such a huge change?

Even if Liu Hong used the Han clan and reused him, and even restored the titles and reputation of his father and grandfather, there was no way to calm his anger.

After getting the news, Li Yu understood that Liu Xing forbears at first, first, there is no condition for revenge, and second, he never thought that he would have the strength to take revenge one day. But he didn't want that nearly twenty years later, his status and strength had given him the ability to take revenge, so he put the hatred of twenty years ago into action at this moment.

Obviously, he was not satisfied, and it can be seen that he transferred all the living wealth of the Huaxia Republic to the Han Empire before it was launched. He may also have follow-up things, follow-up actions against Liu Wei, and even Liu Xie!

Since Liu Xing has escaped, Li Yu can only announce the matter to the whole country, and issue a wanted warrant for the traitor Liu Xing!

At the same time, he sent someone to explain the situation to Liu Wei and explain the truth of the matter, as for whether it is useful or not, or if it is too late, it can only be left to fate, to be honest, Li Yu is just dealing with it with a businesslike attitude, Liu Wei never takes this explanation to heart, it is a big deal to fight together!

Anyway, it is not enough to trade abroad, and there are gold, silver and copper mines and markets in the Japanese country, which can always drive consumption. Not to mention the trade with the Han Empire, the trade of the Han Republic has not been interrupted, and Li Yu does not attach much importance to the Southern Silk Road at this stage. At the beginning, everything was done to occupy it, mainly to weaken the economic strength of the Han Empire.

Originally, according to the State Council's plan, the financial department in the next two years would be inclined to build the Nanzhong region, not only to build railways, but also to build a large number of first-class roads and cities. To this end, the state is ready to mobilize 200,000 people to make every effort to develop the southern and central regions.

In other words, the labor cost of this era was low, and the food resources were abundant, otherwise such a large-scale labor would have cost a lot, not to mention the purchase of rails, sleepers, cement and steel bars for this is an astronomical amount.

This level of project is no longer something that the local government can afford, especially the kind of new territory. In terms of scale, the Nanzhong construction plan even surpasses the Three Gorges Dam plan, but of course it cannot be compared in terms of construction difficulty.

Now that Liu Xing's case is out, he has no choice but to reduce the investment by seventy percent, and at the same time increase the project to three years, and further plan and improve the road system in the south, so that the troops can be put into the southern battlefield in time.

Li Wenbu has pressed on the edge of the Yangtze River, ready to go north, the road construction of the three major forces is the same as the Song Dynasty, in order to cope with the prosperous commerce, the road laying and maintenance is very attentive, it is precisely because of this when the Jin soldiers go south, it will be unimpeded, all the way forward.

It is a pity that the other two countries did not make a mistake like the Song Dynasty, and the prosperity of commerce was mainly for the service of military strength, so it is very similar to the Song Dynasty, and it is better to say that it is very close to the concept of 'rich country and strong army' proposed by Guan Zhong. If you want to talk about the Song Dynasty, it is probably that only the rich country forgot to strengthen the army; As for Meng Yuan, who was further behind, it was just the opposite, only the strong army forgot about the rich country.

At the same time, Liu Xing returned to Chang'an City, returning here with the five thousand private troops he had worked so hard to cultivate. According to his financial resources, as well as the secret wooing of two countries, he is fully capable of cultivating 10,000 private troops, only cultivating 5,000, but it is a policy of taking elite soldiers, he is completely trained according to the model of the guards under Li Yu, and the 5,000 soldiers are all cultivated in the dark period!

Not only that, but the advanced war concepts brought back from the Chinese Republic, the advanced refining technology, and the rudimentary steam engine. He only knew this concept preliminarily, and he got this thing that Liu Ye imitated, and it was very crude. But it was a steam engine, and there was no doubt about it, the only trouble was the rubber, which could only be imported from the south, and they might not sell it.

"Welcome back!" Liu Wei did not receive news from the south at this moment, but Liu Xing came back ahead of schedule and brought back 5,000 elite soldiers, as well as a large number of advanced knowledge and theories, and he was still very satisfied.

Originally, he planned to bury this nail for a longer time, so that it could really be useful, but he didn't want the nail to be the first to start, and it seems that the effect after launching is not much, and he still complains a little in his heart.

However, in order to show his attention, Liu Wei, as the emperor, came to greet him in person with a cadre of civil and military ministers, and the new emperor Liu Sheng naturally followed his father's side.

It's only been a few days, Liu Wei has no beard, and the original handful of beards have disappeared, and even the whole person seems to be a little less masculine and a little more feminine.

"It's not a welcome, it's that it's time for me to come back!" Liu Xing didn't feel honored at all, but looked at Liu Wei and Liu Sheng with a weird look, not only did he not have any respect at all, but even had a trace of contempt.

"What do you mean?" Liu Wei had just lost the most precious thing of a man, and his temper naturally changed, not to mention that he was a suspicious person himself, Liu Xing's performance suddenly made him very angry.

"You've been sitting in this position for too long, and the people below have been unhappy with you for too long, so it's time for you to come down!" Liu Xing smiled slyly.

"Hahaha, when you came back this time, you planned to compete with Sheng'er for the throne?" Liu Wei seemed to realize something.

"Fight? I don't have to fight for anything at all! I'm just an avenger, all I need to do is get revenge and then take the throne from you and let you taste the loss, that's all! Liu Xing said arrogantly, or he has been hiding this arrogance for too long, and he is on the verge of madness.

"Do you think you can do it? Guardsman! Liu argued whether to arrange it or not, and then gave an order.

However, no one took action, and even the surrounding courtiers actually watched Liu Wei's performance silently. Liu Sheng was still young, how could he see such a formation, and suddenly hid behind his father, trembling.

"You guys!" Liu Wei immediately realized something, and looked at everyone around him angrily.

"Your guards and even the stinger, I've sent someone to take over! Those who don't want to submit to me will naturally be cleansed! Liu Wei, I can only say that after you became the emperor, you were too suspicious, which made these courtiers tremble, for fear that one day you would be persecuted because of your suspicion! And over the years of your reign, you have consolidated the monarchy's power too much, and hurt too many ministers! Now that it is not the past, the rights of the people and the rights of the subjects have awakened, and you still think that you can make decisions in the system? Liu Xing said disdainfully.

Liu Bian's suspicion can only be regarded as an auxiliary factor, and the main reason why these courtiers from the big families really stand by his side is that Liu Bian's consolidation of the monarch's power has hurt the civil rights and the power of the ministers. Of course, this is also thanks to the continuous propaganda from Li Yu's side, otherwise it is really not easy to make these people wake up.

Now Liu Wei has been assassinated and become a eunuch, and Liu Sheng is too young to bear the prosperity of the empire. Liu Wei's shortcomings in consolidating the monarch's power over the years were almost completely exposed with his assassination, which gave Liu Xing a chance. Or rather, everything was expected by him!

"You ...... I treat you well, you actually! Liu Wei pointed angrily to the surroundings, especially those in the Cao family.

"Hmph, don't think we don't know! Father Cao Cao, isn't your black hand yet? Cao Ang stood up and reprimanded angrily.

Suddenly, the surrounding courtiers and even the onlookers couldn't help but be stunned! Cao Cao, the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, the important minister who proclaimed Han Wei abroad, and the old courtier who supported Liu Wei, was actually the black hand of Liu Wei? !

"You!" Liu Wei didn't expect that Cao Ang would say such a thing.

"Liu Xing has already found out that my father did not die of a serious disease, but died of poisoning! The poisoner is the prison you sent out! Liu Wei, you killed my father, why should I be loyal to you! Cao Ang said angrily.

"I didn't!" Liu Wei immediately defended that he never thought that this would be the result. Seriously, Cao Cao really wasn't killed by him. Immediately, he reacted, pointed at Liu Xing and said, "It's him, Cao Cao was assassinated by him!" It's really the murderer, it's him! ”

"Hmph, you faint gentleman, don't bite indiscriminately!" How could Cao Ang believe Liu Wei's words? One is that Liu Wei is suspicious, Cao Cao's power abroad is increasing, the greater the threat to him, so the possibility of making a move is really high; Second, now that he has stood up, he naturally can't back down and compromise, and he still has this bit of political wisdom.

"Liu Xing, you are so vicious!" Seeing this, Liu Wei could only sigh silently, and his attitude completely softened. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the general trend has gone......

In a short time, guards came to report that all the troops had been received and that the resistance had been subdued. Liu Wei and Liu Sheng, and even Liu Wei's family members were placed under house arrest.

On the same day, Liu Xing successfully entered the palace, and through the support of his courtiers and other relatives, he became the new emperor of the Han Empire. Three days later, it issued a joint statement with the Republic of Dahan: the two countries merged to form the United Empire of Dahan, adopting a constitutional monarchy, a two-emperor system, limited to five years, and the exchange of the chief and vice emperors. The first United Emperor was Liu Xie, and the Vice Emperor was Liu Xing! (To be continued.) )
