Since Lu Chang led the Jiangnan Army to cross the Yangtze River and enter the Jianghuai region to fight, Pei Shiju, Su Wei and others who stayed in the rear really did not expect that their general Lu Chang would be able to level the Central Plains in such a short period of time.

But the facts are in front of you, in a few months, the army has occupied the entire area south of the Yellow River, can you not believe it?

In the eyes of Pei Shiju, Su Wei and others, the general's soldiers are divine.

In fact, not only the two of them think so, but in the eyes of those generals, Lu Chang's use of troops is simply amazing.

Since crossing the Yangtze River, the Jiangnan army has hardly experienced much of a campaign, and it seems that it is only advancing, and the entire Jiangnan army has been able to sweep away all the large and small forces without much casualties, all the way to the bank of the Yellow River.

Of course, they were extremely excited in their hearts, and at the same time, they were glad that they were with the right person.

In fact, civil officials such as Su Wei and Pei Shiju are busier.

The newly occupied territories are expanding rapidly, and the structure of local government is to follow. Lu Chang led the army across the Yangtze River and across the Jianghuai, and in a blink of an eye, the entire territory south of the Yellow River was completely recovered.

Busy, busy to death!

Officials were selected from Jiangnan and sent to various places, and materials and grain were transferred, and all kinds of things were pressed on them.

According to Lu Chang's meaning, there are countless victims in the world, and there are people who can't eat in front of natural disasters.

Rescue is certain, however, the method must be exquisite.

Lu Chang asked Su Wei and Pei Shiju to take the method of cash-for-work to help the people of the world, and let the people build roads and bridges in exchange for food.

Of course, there are differences, but not for those who have lost their ability to work.

Lu Chang demanded that once they take over the local government, they must ensure that no one dies of starvation, which is a matter of principle.

Lu Chang's research institute has gathered the top figures of this era, and building materials with very low technology content such as cement have been developed.

Lu Chang just said a little bit of general meaning, he didn't understand it very well, relying on the ingenuity and trial and error of these people, they really let them figure it out, and several major traffic arteries in the Central Plains were first built using this material.

The roads in this period were too bad, and the transportation was really bad because of the Grand Canal, otherwise, a large-scale military operation like the Jiangnan Army would cost people lives just because of the logistical burden.

Lu Chang knew in his heart that in order to effectively rule the Central Plains, a smooth road was a very important prerequisite.

Only when the roads are unobstructed and the Central Plains extends in all directions can we effectively support large-scale military operations and can information be fast and flexible.

As a result, the occupied areas of the Central Plains gradually turned into a large construction site, and infrastructure construction was in full swing.

Luoyang City had just been taken, and Lu Chang also led the army.

Luoyang City did not go through the war, and the palace was well preserved, so Lu Chang lived directly in the palace compound.

The Luoyang Imperial Palace of the Great Sui Dynasty is called Ziwei City, which is the place where the emperor listens to the government and lives daily.

The whole palace is magnificent, and the dragon gate "Yique" is located at the southernmost point of the central axis, corresponding to the "Tianque constellation" in the sky.

"Dingdingmen Street", the royal road connecting the main gate of Miyagi and the south gate of Guocheng "Dingdingmen", is 110 meters wide. It can be called "Heavenly Street" with the meaning of the Street of the Son of Heaven, corresponding to the constellation of "Heavenly Street" in the sky.

"Tianjin Bridge", built by Emperor Yang Guangshi of the Sui Dynasty. Luoyang is like the residence of the Emperor of Heaven "Ziwei Palace", Luoshui is like the "Milky Way" in the sky, and the bridge on it means the ferry to the Son of Heaven in the heavenly court, so it is named "Tianjin Bridge".

……

The main hall contains the Yuan Palace, the place of the Son of Heaven. Daye Hall is in the north of Hanyuan Palace, and there is Weiyou Palace, these three halls form a huge building complex for the central axis.

Among them, Hanyuan Hall is the place of the Great Dynasty, the Hall of Daye (Zhenguan Palace), one of the inner sleeping palaces, and the Weiyou Hall is the place of the Chang Dynasty.

Others, such as the Xuanzheng Hall is the place of the Japanese Dynasty, the Guanwen Hall is the imperial study, as well as the middle study, the history hall of the door of the province, and the Hongwen Hall are some official yamen.

Huaguangyuan, Shansaiyuan, Shenjuyuan, Xianjuyuan, and Yaoguang Hall are places for enjoying the scenery and recreation.

Ninchiin was the residence of the harem concubines.

The flowing cup hall and the curved water are smooth, and it is used as an indoor drinking place.

Another example, the Anfu Hall Club, the Dayi Hall Clubhouse should be equipped with a very complete one. The scale of the whole palace, the unique style, the gorgeous furnishings, and the splendor of the architecture are extremely rare in the palace architecture of the world.

Lu Chang was a little glad in his heart, once a palace of this scale was destroyed in the war, it would probably cost a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild it. Fortunately, it is as good as ever, and there is no need to break the bank.

Lu Chang gathered a group of civil and military personnel in the Xuanzheng Palace, and Lu Chu was also among them.

"Lord Lu, you can take charge of Luoyang's affairs for the time being, Wang Shichong has just been pacified, there are still many things to be sorted out here, we need a stable Luoyang City. What do you think? ”

Lu Chu hurriedly stood up from the ranks and saluted Lu Chang in the middle of the main hall.

"Thanks to the general's trust, Lu Chu will definitely do his duty and do his best to put order in Luoyang."

"General Pei, there is an important task for you to do, Shuzhong is an important passage into Guanzhong, although the Jiangnan Army has Tongguan in hand, but Shu Road has several secret roads leading to Guanzhong, although it is steep but it is impossible to prevent, and the meaning is heavy. General Pei has rich experience and is the best choice for the general to guard Shuzhong, and this general wants to appoint you to this position, what do you think? ”

Where couldn't Pei Shiju hear what Lu Chang meant? I am afraid that I will make a fuss in Shuzhong when attacking Guanzhong, there are more people here, and the general did not elaborate, but the meaning is self-evident.

Pei Renji hurriedly came out of the queue and saluted Lu Chang.

"General, please rest assured, your humble position will definitely live up to the general's trust."

"Okay, Shuzhong has arranged this way. Tongguan is an important strategic place to lock Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and the general has ordered the general to guard it, and he also needs a deputy general to assist. ”

"My subordinates are here, and I am willing to obey the general's orders."

"Okay, order General Shan Xiongxin to assist in guarding Tongguan. Behind Tongguan, the defense of the Yellow River near Luoyang belongs to your war zone, and Xiongxin can worry a lot about this section. Be careful not to allow the enemy to take advantage of it. ”

"No, your subordinates."

"Qin Qiong, Uncle Qin, Bao Ke?"

"No, my subordinates are here."

"East of Luoyang, including the entire line of the Yellow River in Luoyang, is an overall theater of operations. The general appointed you as the commander-in-chief, Pei Yuanqing as the deputy general, firmly guarding the line of the Yellow River, and keeping an eye on Dou Jiande in Hebei, there must be no mistakes. ”

"No, my subordinates obey."

Qin Qiong and Pei Yuanqing stepped forward to receive the order, and then retreated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Jiangnan Army occupies the huge Central Plains region in a very short period of time, and needs to absorb and digest these areas, and I am afraid that it will not be able to fight any more wars in a short period of time.

The so-called war is not only a military action, but if the influence of other factors is not taken into account, the consequences of war are often tragic. Military operations also require sufficient financial and logistical reserves, and it is not wise to blindly act recklessly.

For example, our territory is vast, and the political power in the central region is almost hollowed out.

If the next military action is rashly carried out, it will inevitably lead to a lack of stamina and a great risk.

Although our strength is not afraid of any force, the Jiangnan army has already passed the stage of being willing to take risks, and there is no need to be impatient and rash.

The remaining opponents, the two biggest forces, one is Li Tang in Guanzhong, and the other is Dou Jiande in Hebei. At present, the surrounding areas of these two forces are not at peace, and the large and small forces are intertwined, and it is difficult to calm down for a while. Therefore, in the near future, we will consolidate the rear, develop the economy, recuperate and recuperate, and strengthen our strength. Militarily, he stuck to the Yellow River and watched the chaos in Hebei to wait for the opportunity. What do you think? ”

Pei Renji came out and said: "The general has considered it thoroughly, this layout is indeed extremely wise, and there is really no need for our army to make any more dangerous moves." Consolidating the rear, recuperating, becoming bigger and stronger, and waiting for the opportunity is the best strategy, which we admire. ”

All the generals shouted together: "The general is wise, we will obey the order." ”

After arranging everything, Pei Shiju came out and said: "General, now that the Jiangnan Army dominates the entire area south of the Yellow River and occupies most of the country, the establishment of the country should also be put on the agenda. The enthronement of the great general will surely deter Hebei and Guanzhong, so that everyone in the world will look forward to it, and the reunification of the whole country is just around the corner. Leave it to the general to decide. ”

When Pei Shiju said this, His Royal Highness knelt down in a big way.

"Please also ask the general to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

Lu Chang ascended the throne as the emperor, and these civil and military ministers were all fathers, so the founding of the country was already a matter of expectation.

It's really time to think about this matter, Lu Chang raised his hand and asked everyone to get up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, preparations can now be made for the founding of the country. However, there are a few principles that need to be clarified. First, the building of the country needs to be done in an orderly manner and not in a hurry. The founding of the country can be publicized first, but the time can be delayed. Second, the enthronement ceremony should be simple and not extravagant. For example, after natural disasters and wars today, we really can't stand the toss, and we take people's livelihood as the first priority. At the same time, the war is not over yet, and we must have enough financial resources to support it. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that these two fundamentals are located. As for the enthronement ceremony, it is actually a formality, and there is no need to waste too much manpower, material resources and energy. Do you understand? ”

Look at what a good future emperor this is!

Everyone bowed and shouted in unison: "Obey the general's wishes." ”

Pei Shiju asked again: "The general is considering the matter of the country name?" ”

"Well, well, let's take Huawei's country name, the full name is the Dahua Empire. You can refer to it, if there is a better country name, you can refer to it. ”

"Dahua Empire, good, great, the general can't be better with the name of Huawei."

All the civil and military forces thought that this country name was very good, so they decided to use "Hua" as the country name. (To be continued.) )
