PS: I'll send you a testimonial later!

The time entered September, the autumn wind was bleak, and the 200,000 troops led by Meng Fu and Wang Jian drove straight into Youbeiping County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Yan organized an army of 300,000 to resist, of which nearly half were old and weak. Even so, the Yan army still did not take advantage of the slightest, and with the three victories of the Korean army, the last trace of luck of the Yan country was completely shattered.

In November, King Yan led the remnants to retreat to Liaodong, and the small Liaoshui could not stop the Han army that was eager to win, and the Yan army fought and retreated all the way. In December, King Yan and his entourage escaped to Xiangping, but were captured by the Han army, which had already been ambushed in the city. The Kingdom of Yan was thus officially destroyed.

In August, King Yan had already learned that Jing Ke's assassination failed, and what was even more infuriating was that Jing Ke directly confessed to himself as the mastermind behind the scenes in order to show his integrity. Although ordinary people know that no matter whether Jing Ke says it or not, this matter is inseparable from Yan Guo. But with Jing Ke's confession, Yan Guo had no room to turn around! If Han Tianzi was willing to let himself go when he knew that he was instructing Jing Ke, then his majesty would definitely be swept away!

Before the Korean army was dispatched, the envoys sent to Luoyang by the king of Yan were expelled without exception. Even if King Yan is willing to cede all the land and bow down to his vassals, even if King Yan is willing to give up the title of feudal monarch and become a commoner, Korea will not agree.

Taking the channel of the queen of Han and the prince of the country, King Yan finally learned the idea of South Korea, the three counties of Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong are already in the bag of South Korea, and King Yan uses these lands that belong to South Korea to curry favor with South Korea, isn't it generous to others? ! It's ridiculous!

Zhao's resistance was much tougher than Yan's, but it could not stand the division of Korea's troops into two places, and after holding out for three months, the Korean army still broke through the defense line on the border. Without the support of lofty mountains and mountains, the grasslands of Pingchuan can no longer stop the pace of the Korean army's advance.

February 244 BC. Lian Po abandoned Yanmen County and guarded the clouds. Just when Lian Po dispatched troops and prepared to build a new defensive line. The panicked King of Zhao, under the persuasion of Guo Kai, suddenly ordered Lian Po to be relieved of his military power. Surrender to Korea was announced, and the world was once again reunified!

King Han was overjoyed, and named King Zhao as the Marquis of Zhao, hereditary replacement, and 10,000 households. Lian Po was disheartened and wanted to be disarmed and returned to the field, but was escorted to Luoyang by the Korean army.

May. Meng Fu, Wang Qian, Han Teng, and Xiang Yan led the army to Luoyang and handed over the military power, and Han Tianzi announced an amnesty to the world and rewarded the meritorious ministers.

Meng Fu and Han Teng have undoubtedly become the new feudal lords of Korea with the merit of destroying the country. Wang Jian was also awarded the title of first-class marquis, and Xiang Yan was a third-class marquis.

In order to eliminate the influence of various countries as soon as possible, Han Tianzi had a new idea on the matter of sealing the monarch. King Qin Yiren was renamed Yongcheng Jun from Qin Jun, Chu Jun Xiongwan was renamed Danyang Jun, and Qi Jun Tian Jian was renamed Linzi Jun.

These three gentlemen add Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, Wancheng Jun Li Mu, Suiyang Jun Mengfu, Huayang Jun Han Teng, Jingyang Jun Lu Buwei, and Dingtao Jun Fan Sui. Korea had a total of nine feudal lords. There are even more above the Marquis!

However, although the world is unified, things are still untidy and chaotic. From the court to the place. The officials came from different backgrounds, some were originally from Qi, some were from the Old Qin, some were from Chu, and some were from Wei, and different backgrounds had different ties of interest. In particular, Qin, Qi, and Chu were basically received by Korea effortlessly, and Han Tianzi was favored by Yongchengjun, Danyangjun, and Linzijun, which made the forces of Qin, Qi, and Chu occupy a relatively large proportion in the court.

Of course, it is impossible to commit trouble. Without military power, they can't rebel if they want to. What's more, the common people are also accustomed to accepting Korean rule. If they rebel. The people still don't agree! But that doesn't mean they don't form parties to ensure that their family's wealth and power can last. Especially the selection of the crown prince, so that all the ministers feel that there is a lot to do.

Han Tianzi has a total of eight princes, and the eldest son is Han Bang, who has the blood of the Yan royal family, and is twenty-six years old. The second prince, Han Xin, is twenty-three years old, and his mother was born in the famous Mi clan of Chu State. The third prince, Han An, is twenty-one years old, and his mother was born in South Korea. The fourth prince, Han Zhuang, is eighteen years old, and his mother is from Qin. The fifth prince, Han Nian, is sixteen years old, and his mother was born as the Minister of Qi. The other three sons are still young and have little hope of succeeding to the throne.

If the weekly system is followed, the eldest son Han Bang will undoubtedly inherit the throne. But Han Bang was too merciful, according to Han Tianzi, he was a humble person, so he was not liked by Han Tianzi.

The second prince Han Xin was born noble, especially the officials from the Chu State had a lot of influence in the court, and they were headed by Si Kou Jingyang, who was definitely willing to make Han Xin the crown prince. In the same way, the officials from the Qin State naturally hoped that the fourth prince Han Zhuang could become the crown prince, especially the general Bai Qi was quite favored by Han Tianzi, and the selection of the crown prince would definitely have a great impact on Han Tianzi's decision.

There is no doubt that the officials of Sili Prefecture and Yizhou support the third prince Han An, and in their opinion, if a prince with the blood of other countries becomes the crown prince, many people will not be able to accept it psychologically. What's more, the background of the mother's family determines the prince's policy. If Han Xin became the emperor in the future, he would definitely rely on the Chu officials, and Han Zhuang would definitely reuse the Qin officials if he became the emperor in the future. I'm afraid that Han Tianzi also took this into account, so he hesitated to choose the crown prince.

In September 244 BC, Han Tianzi suddenly mentioned the election of the crown prince at a routine court meeting, which surprised the ministers. But Han Tianzi had already spoken out, and the ministers had to express their position.

The eldest son, with clear standards, can prevent the covetousness of other princes and reduce the risk of unrest in the royal family. However, if the eldest son lacks character and talent, it is not good for the country. Lixian is beneficial to the country, but the standard of virtue is difficult to determine, giving many princes an excuse to covet the throne and the royal family is unstable. The best way is that the eldest son is Mingjun, which is very rare.

The pawn Li Si advocated the establishment of the emperor's eldest son Han Bang as the crown prince on the grounds that "the prince will not make the princes suspicious, the princes will not make the doctors suspicious, and the sons of the concubines will not make the concubines suspicious". Officials from Jizhou and Youzhou responded in large numbers.

On the grounds of benevolence and filial piety, Si Lizhou assassin Shi Xun advocated the establishment of Han An as the crown prince, and officials from Sili Prefecture, Bingzhou, and Yizhou responded one after another.

Si Kou Jingyang advocated the establishment of the prince Han Xin as the crown prince on the grounds that Lichang was not as good as Lixian, and there were many responders from Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou officials. And the imperial history Wang Yi proposed to establish Hanzhuang as the crown prince, which also received a lot of responses from Liangzhou officials.

Three Princes and Nine Qings. Taiwei Wei Zhe, Yushi Dafu Lü Buwei, Dianke Li Si, and Shaofu Chen Sui advocated the establishment of Han Bang, the eldest son of the emperor, as the crown prince, Liu Guang, Taichang Wang Fang, the servant Huang Bo, and Zongzheng Han Ze advocated the establishment of Han An as the crown prince, and Si Kou Jingyang advocated the establishment of Han Xin as the crown prince. Prime Minister Fan Sui, Wei Wei Fan Zeng, and Lang Zhongling Zhang Liang rarely did not express their position. The military ministers also did not express their position.

When Han Tianzi asked them for their opinions, Prime Minister Fan Sui and others were unanimous. thinks that the position of the crown prince is a family affair of Han Tianzi, and he only needs to obey Han Tianzi's will! Han Tianzi laughed three times and announced his retirement from the dynasty.

A month later, the general Bai Qi, with his advanced age, asked Han Tianzi for a minister, and Han Tianzi allowed him, because of his merits, to increase his food by 3,000 households. The first 20,000 households. The hussar general Li Mu replaced him as a general.

However, three days later, Si Kou Jingyang wrote to Han Tianzi, saying that he was old and frail, and he felt powerless, and asked Zhishi, and Han Tianzi was also allowed to increase his food by 2,000 households, bringing in the first 5,000 households. Replace it with Si Lizhou's assassin Shi Xun situation.

Linzi Jun Tian Jian stood up at the right time, thinking that he missed his homeland and asked to return to the fiefdom. Han Tianzi complied and sent 300 Yulin troops to escort him. Then, Danyang Jun Xiong Wan and Yongcheng Jun Yiren asked to return to the fiefdom. King Han played one by one.

This series of actions has made the ministers see Han Tianzi's thoughts, and the second prince Han Xin, the fourth prince Han Zhuang, and the fifth prince Han Nian have all withdrawn from the ranks of the heirs to the throne because of blood relations. Only the third prince Han An and the eldest son Han Bangfang, who lost his mother's family, are possible.

In 243 B.C., Han Tianzi ordered that the princes be crowned kings, and agreed with the ministers that those who are not the kings of the Han family will be attacked by the whole world. The second prince Han Xin was named the king of Changyi, the fourth prince Han Zhuang was named the king of Guangling, and the fifth prince Han Nian was named the king of Zhongshan. The sixth prince was named the king of Jinyang, and the seventh prince was named the king of Dingyang. The eighth prince was named the king of Changsha. The princes who have already reached adulthood have gone to the fiefdom to take up the country, and the minors can stay in Luoyang. When he became an adult, he went to a fiefdom to settle down. In the future, unless summoned by the emperor, he was not allowed to leave the feudal country, and in order to teach the princes to behave, he was specially assisted by the minister of the country, and the rank was a thousand stones.

Han Bang, the eldest son of the most eye-catching emperor, was named the king of Hedong and ruled Wusui; The third prince, Han An, was the king of Hanoi and ruled the land and the court.

Two years later, that is, in 241 BC, Han Tianzi issued an edict that Han An was the crown prince with Han An's benevolence and filial piety, talent, and general knowledge, and should be the crown prince. As for the eldest son of the emperor, he was appointed as Zongzheng and dealt with royal affairs. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Han Tianzi is using the eldest son of the emperor to spur the crown prince!

In 240 B.C., after ten years of preparation, Han Tianzi ordered that the general Li Mu be the main general, control the hussar general Han Teng and the chariot cavalry general Meng Fu, and send 600,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north.

It took a year for the Han army to overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and finally captured the Xiongnu royal court, sealed the wolf Juxu, and the Xiongnu fled westward in a hurry. In order to strengthen his rule over the vast grasslands and prevent the Xiongnu from reoccupying the vast grasslands, Han Tianzi ordered the construction of a Chi road to the North Sea, and relocated his guilty subjects to live in the grasslands. In order to reduce financial expenditures, Han Tianzi encouraged the merchant groups to contribute capital, and ingeniously allowed the merchant groups to set up checkpoints on the roads they built to collect tolls, attracting merchants from all over the world to compete for investment.

In February 238 B.C., the Hanyi Commander asked to see Han Tianzi and demonstrated to him how boiling hot water crackled the lid of a kettle, and reported that the craftsmen of Hanyi were inspired by this and were looking for a way to develop a device that did not require human labor. Han Tianzi was overjoyed and announced that he would take out one-tenth of the treasury every year to support Hanyi's research on steam engines!

In March of the same year, the craftsmen of Yangzhou developed a sea ship that was more than 30 zhang long and more than 10 zhang wide, and began sea trials on the sea between Qi County and Liaodong County!

In May, South Korea incorporated the Korean Peninsula into its territory, set up counties, and named the southern part of the country "Bangja County".

In July, Han Tianzi took out a map of the world on his sickbed and told the prince all kinds of novelties and great sailing stories...... (End of book) (To be continued)
