"Long live King Ming! Banzai! Hooray......"

Surrounded by the steel-armored cavalry, the carriage slowly drove towards Zhaoming Palace amid the shouts of the people along the street.

Chen Dexing looked out through the open car window, and the guards on both sides of the street were very high, and the steel-armored warriors with spears lined up all the way from the city gate to the Zhaoming Palace, and they used their spears to isolate the people on the side of the street. The windows of all the houses along the street were closed and not allowed to be opened, and there were soldiers with guns and crossbows on the high points everywhere.

However, this kind of vigilance like a great enemy did not reduce the enthusiasm of the people of Yanjing at all, and on both sides of the wide Yanjing Royal Street, there were crowds of people, and the cheers shook the earth, and it seemed to come from the heart - anyway, Chen Dexing had never heard that Yanjing Mansion had paid people to shout long live on the street.

"Your Majesty, the people are very supportive of you!" Mo Yingniang's pretty face leaned over and said happily. She had never seen such a scene in Lin'anke!

"The fields are abundant, the taxes are light, the officials are clear, and the army is strong, which is enough to resist the Tartars, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment...... How could the people not support it? ”

Chen Dexing's tone was calm, without much joy, and he just said lightly: "When the founding of the country was first established in all dynasties, most of them were like this...... A round of expeditions in troubled times has almost killed people, and fewer people are relatively more fields, and more fields will naturally not be hungry. Moreover, at the beginning of the dynasty, the kings and heroes have all experienced troubled times, and some of them still started at the end of the year, knowing that the country is not easy to come by, we must be careful to maintain, and we have scruples about making money. As for the army, it is a heroic division that has been won in a hundred battles, and there are fields to reward soldiers, so they are naturally not afraid of Tartars.

It's actually very easy to get to this point. Whoever rules the world, as long as he wants to do it, he will definitely be able to do it! But what does the Lone King want to do...... More! ”

Chinese history. In addition to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, because the population loss was too great and the Xiongnu were too strong, they could only exchange peace for peace. The Chuxing Dynasty was generally a country and a strong military. Oh, the Great Song Dynasty is also an exception, it is the country and the people, and the military is weak. Of course, that was what the Great Song Emperor himself wanted to weaken, and there was nothing to say. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Da and Zhao Er only had to retain the military strength of the early Song Dynasty, supplemented by the government soldier system. There is a gate. There are government soldiers below, and it is the situation in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. has 20 years of recuperation, how can you beat the Khitan all over the ground to find teeth......

And now Chen Dexing also has a good deck of cards in his hand, there are few people in the north, there are many lands, and the industry and commerce in the south are prosperous, and there are hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of military nobles and businessmen and gentry as the foundation. There is no need to worry about it militarily, and the armed forces of the first and second generations of the sergeants will certainly not be weak - the roots of the sergeants are the military rich class, and they are not too rich, they are small and medium-sized landlords and large rich peasants.

Generally speaking. Before the advent of industrialized society, it was the peasants who could fight better than the citizens, and the middle peasants who were richer than the poor. If the state intends to guide the rich and martial, it is very easy to develop a military rich class. What knights, samurai, Shipaj, Junkers, Cossacks, etc. It's all this person, a little money, a little land. can afford the cost of the children to learn literature and martial arts, and then the eldest son will keep the family. Other sons went out to serve in the army or take the civil service exam, or become a teacher and do their studies.

The only exceptions are probably China, Vietnam, and Korea, where imperial examinations are prevalent. For hundreds of years, the country has guided the landlords and rich peasants to weaken their culture, and they do not practice martial arts but only study. Then the civilian officials were used to control the mercenaries or serf soldiers, and after a long time, the mercenaries appeared hereditary and urbanized, and they all became small citizens living at home, and they were completely rotten and unable to fight. The serfs were completely bankrupt and unable to serve. In the end, there is a country without defense, and a random Tartar or imperialist can be like no one.

Chen Dexing has not only set things right and re-established a military-rich class, but also introduced the future bourgeoisie, the current merchant class, into the ranks of the ruling class, and implemented the co-rule of the gentry and gentry, and copied an aristocratic democracy from the evil democratic countries of later generations.

In fact, most successful democracies follow the route of aristocratic democracy, elite democracy ——— universal democracy.

In addition, Chen Dexing also tossed out a Heavenly Taoism, adding some sacred colors to his regime. Moreover, it also opened the Age of Discovery, preparing to establish a large number of overseas Chinese countries, which constituted competition and pressure on the Chinese mainland, so that the Chinese mainland would not once again embark on the old road of decay behind closed doors without any external pressure......

It can be said that the general framework of Chen Ming's world empire has been completely established in accordance with Chen Dexing's intentions. The next step is to turn these broad frameworks into concrete systems and laws and regulations, and to build a society in which democracy and the rule of law complement each other. It is necessary to gradually expand the noble class and the gentry class, so that they can completely replace the dead scholars and doctors as the foundation of the state. It is estimated that there will be many detours in the establishment of one local self-government after another, so that the people who are accustomed to centralization can learn to govern themselves......

Of course, it is necessary to establish one Chinese feudal state after another, and it is better to dye the whole world yellow - this seems to be a bit self-defeating, these Chinese feudal states will sooner or later become independent countries, and will compete with the Ming mainland for world leadership.

However, Chen Dexing knows very well that competition is the only way to maintain the vitality and upward momentum of a nation, a country, and a world.

The reason why the Chinese civilization after the Song Dynasty weakened was not because of competition, but because the king was afraid of competition from within the Chinese civilization, so he nipped all competitors in the bud.

However, they can only stifle competitors from within the Chinese civilization, but they have no way to deal with external enemies......

"King, we've arrived." When Mo Yingniang's voice sounded in Chen Dexing's ears again, the carriage had already entered the Zhaoming Palace and stopped in front of the newly built main hall, the Guangming Palace.

Huang Zhishen, Ren Yijiang, Zhao Fu, Monk Liu, Land Rover, Zhang Shijie and other important civil and military ministers all lined up outside the hall to greet each other. Seeing Chen Dexing get down from the carriage, they all bowed down on one knee one after another.

Zhao Lin'er supported Guo Fu'er, and took a group of warblers and swallows in Queen Chen Ming's harem, smiling like flowers, and a few of them were still holding dolls in their arms, all of them were eager to pounce - the harem lady Li Cuixian was waiting to give birth and did not appear in the crowd to greet her.

Chen Dexing smiled and nodded at his civil and military ministers, and said, "Get up!" These days, the Lone King is not in Yanjing, thanks to your painstaking management, the geography of Yanyun is in order. As he spoke, he arched his hand, "The Lone King has thanked him here...... It's just that the lonely king is a little tired now, and I want to rest early, so please go back first, tomorrow the lonely king will have a banquet in Zhaoming Palace, and our monarchs and ministers will gather again. How is it? ”

After saying that, he turned his head and smiled at Guo Fu'er, "Mother, how is Xian'er?" When will I be able to give birth? ”

……

Of course, Li Cuixian couldn't be better, the body cultivated by practicing martial arts at a young age, the figure is similar to the female coach in the gym in the later generations, and there may be better. Now that she's young, giving birth to a doll isn't like fun for her?

When Chen Dexing hurried to the dripping eaves in the outer courtyard of Li Cuixian's bedroom, he saw that Li Cuixian was already standing in the room with a big belly with a big smile, and he didn't want to be supported. Chen Dexing hurriedly grabbed her, just looked at her face that was round again, and asked with concern, "How is it?" ”

"Okay, very," Li Cuixian had a happy expression on her face, and reached out to stroke her belly, "I have already let the midwife touch it, and the fetal position is very positive." The fetal movement is also energetic, and it seems that he is a kid again! ”

"That's a good relationship, you have two sisters-in-law." Chen Dexing took Li Cuixian's hand and walked towards her palace, "I have to listen to your belly." ”

Guo Fu'er also smiled and followed in, and the other women also wanted to go in, but they were blocked by Yang Po'er. Seeing a serious expression on her face, she said in a low voice: "The king has something important to ask, all the princesses and ladies, please go back." ”

In Li Cuixian's Xixiu Pavilion, Chen Dexing really didn't listen to the fetal movements, but sat opposite Li Cuixian and Guo Fu'er, and his face became solemn.

"Xian'er, what are you going to do?"

Li Cuixian just smiled: "The concubine is the king's person, so she naturally plans for the king." She gently stroked her belly, "When the concubine gives birth to the child, she will go to Yidu." ”

"To Yidu?" Chen Dexing was stunned, "Isn't it Taiyuan?" ”

Li Cuixian shook her head lightly and said, "It's useless to go to Taiyuan, my father won't listen to me, and ...... He couldn't do anything, the soldiers he brought to Hedong were lost, and the soldiers of the Shi family, the Zhang family, and the Wang family were just bought with money. The real danger is precisely the 80,000 soldiers of Yidu! ”

The Yidu mentioned by Li Cuixian does not only refer to Yidu City, but refers to the territory controlled by Li Yanguo, the king of Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, which roughly includes Shandong Province, Xuzhou City, Huai'an City and other places in later generations. Far more than the territory directly controlled by Li Pu. Moreover, the forces controlled by Li Yanguo are also very strong, in addition to the tens of thousands of soldiers who were originally left in Yidu by Li Pu, the 10,000 troops under Li Xiong have also retreated to Yidu. In the past few months, Li Yanguo has used this as a basis to expand his army on a large scale. At present, the number of government soldiers under Li Yanguo's direct control alone has reached as many as 80,000, of which experienced veterans account for at least 50 percent, and their combat effectiveness is quite impressive.

Moreover, the armaments and materials that Li Pu had accumulated over the past 30 years were also in Li Yanguo's hands, plus the grain collected from Baoying Prefecture. Now it's enough to get enough food!

It can be said that Li Pu's main strength is not in Hedong but in Yidu Laochao, which is the 80,000 army controlled by Li Yanguo! (To be continued......)
