Chapter 860: Becoming the Emperor (I)

From 212 to 213 AD, when the state of Chu concentrated on pacifying Liangzhou, Huang Quan and Wu Ban led a small elite Jiaozhou army to sail from Xuwen County on civilian ships to Zhuya Prefecture, uprooting the local bandits and pirates, gaining the support of the majority of the people, and re-establishing the political system there.

Zhuya Prefecture was founded in the reign of Emperor Wu, after Emperor Wu pacified Nanyue, he then sent people to cross the strait from Xu Wen, and set up Zhuya and Dan'er two counties in Zhuya Prefecture. During the reign of Emperor Zhao, he ordered to omit Dan'er and was a total of Zhuya County, until Emperor Yuan, he listened to Jia Don's advice, which abandoned Zhuya.

Until now, Huang Quan and Wu Ban actually took this Zhuya Prefecture back, which really made Wang Xu unexpected, happy to recover the homeland of China, worried that the reconstruction and development of Zhuya was another heavy burden to the Chu State, and more importantly, he did not know about this expedition at all.

After reading the good news, he did not rush to make a conclusion, and then summoned Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to the Qinzheng Palace to inquire.

"Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, when did Huang Quan and Wu Ban go overseas, why have you never heard of it?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "At that time, the lord was still in Liangzhou, and the battle situation was unknown, so he never reported it to the lord!" ”

"But you always need to give me a reason to send troops like this!" Wang Xu looked at the two indifferently and said.

Pang Tong heard the dissatisfaction in his tone, and hurriedly took over the words: "Back to the lord, in recent years, the bandits who have occupied Zhuya Prefecture have become stronger and stronger, and they often loot the border, and the coastal people are unbearable. Therefore, it was decided to go on an expedition overseas. Never again! Last year, when the lord went west to Liangzhou. At the same time that the Zhuya thieves plundered the coast again, Huang Quan and Wu Ban decisively sent troops to attack, and then crossed the sea for an expedition. ”

"I see!" Wang Xu was relieved.

In the state of Chu, the generals who directly led the army did not have the right to transfer troops and conquer without authorization. There are, however, exceptions, in the case of military operations carried out in the fulfilment of this responsibility. Huang Quan's duty in Jiaozhou Army is to maintain the stability of Jiaozhou, so his current actions are within his own right.

Silently considering the situation of Zhu Ya, Wang Xu's brows furrowed again.

"Although it is a good thing for Huang Quan and Wu Ban to cut off the bandits, Zhuya Prefecture is located on the border, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is barren and abnormal, how should we deal with it now?"

Yichen thought. When the county is established, it will never be abandoned! Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan. He smiled and took over.

"But Zhu Ya's governance will be a burden to the Chu State!" Wang Xu looked at it intently and looked into Zhuge Liang's eyes.

Zhuge Liang was calm and calm, without the slightest intention of dodging, and the feather fan shook lightly: "There are disadvantages, but the benefits are also great!" ”

"What's the explanation?"

"There are four reasons!" Zhuge Liang stood up with a smile, slowly walked to the wall where the map was hung, and pointed to the South China Sea with a feather fan: "Lord, look, Zhuya is located in the South China Sea, located on the border of the country, if it is abandoned, the inland coast will lack a frontier place, and it is easy to give birth to sea bandits, if there is this place, Chu State's control of the South China Sea will be more complete." ”

"I also know this, but with the current situation, it is not enough to make the Chu State pay such a big price, what about the second?"

"Second, Jiuzhen, Rinan and other counties are expanding very fast, if it is only a land connection, it is not so convenient, if there is a huge island of Zhuya as a transit, the expansion of sea routes, will be extremely beneficial to the development of the south, and now the development of ships in our Chu country is extremely fast, and even drive the entire China and the surrounding areas, has the foundation for continuous expansion of waterways."

"Third, the local people of Zhuya are extremely supportive of the lord, and beg for the protection and management of the Chu State, if it is well governed, it can have more influence on the ethnic groups in the southern wilderness, which can not only make the South China Sea more stable, but also influence other ethnic groups to accept and worship the Chu State, which will help the lord to unite all the tribes and create a prosperous world together."

"Fourth, the lord said many years ago that if you want to build a naval army that can really gallop on the sea, if you rule Zhuya and the South China Sea is stable, why not start to implement it? Earlier, I heard General Fan Tong and others say that today's ships have initially had the ability to sail to the deep sea. In addition, Ma Jun, Zheng Hun and others often complain, saying that the research of ship casting technology needs a broader environment, and now the South China Sea is not an ideal place? ”

"Riding on the sea?"

Wang Xu's eyebrows beat slightly, he was really moved, this sentence can be regarded as saying in his heart, after all, the navy has a particularly important position in his heart.

Almost after a few breaths, his heart chose to recognize.

"Good! With this four-point synthesis, Zhu Ya is worth the price paid by the Chu State, and this matter will be personally coordinated and supervised by you, without affecting the overall situation of the Chu State, you can do everything you can, but within five years, I must see the preliminary results, and the navy must at least take shape within ten years, not to mention that it can cross the ocean, but at least it must be able to gallop in the coastal range! ”

"The ministers will do their best!"

Wang Xu nodded. "Then what suggestions do you have for the post of Taishou in Zhuya Prefecture?"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong seemed to have been prepared, and Pang Tong immediately replied loudly: "The minister thinks that the stability and development of Zhuya must make full use of the talents of the locals, which requires the Taishou who is going to be good at discovering talents, open-minded, and experienced, but in the opinion of the minister, Wang Lian and Wang Wenyi are the best candidates." ”

"Nanyang Wang Lian?"

Wang Xu had heard of this person's reputation, thought about it, and agreed: "Okay, according to the words of the two of you, notify Wang Lian to go to the post as soon as possible, but if you need it, try to meet it!" As for the training of naval officers, Fan Tong was temporarily in charge, and the state army was fully assisted, and Zhendong General Lu Xun also had to supervise and take responsibility. ”

"No!"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong went as ordered, but Wang Xu sat alone in the hall in a daze......

Less than half a month after this incident, the spy film's investigation of Wudu Taishou Peng Yi was also transmitted back to Xiangyang, and Ling Wanqing personally reported it, fulfilling his responsibility for abandoning government affairs, making insulting remarks, and insulting colleagues. The most important thing is that his inaction in that sensitive place of Wudu indirectly caused many of the attached ethnic groups to be disgusted. There are signs and actions of centrifugation. Fortunately, it was discovered early. There have been no serious consequences for the time being.

But even so, Wang Xu was furious after hearing about it, and immediately ordered him to be dismissed from his post and dismissed, demoted to a concubine, and never hired, and at the same time urgently ordered the famous minister Cheng Yi to rush to Wudu to take office, so as to stabilize the situation.

At the same time, the news of his intention to become emperor also intensified. Wei and Wu began to spread agitation and publicly publish articles of reprimand.

The Son of Heaven, who existed in name only, also issued a holy decree to cut off Wang Xu's title of King of Chu, collect all rights, and ordered all states and counties of Chu to immediately break away from the control of the Chu Palace.

For a while, all the civil and military forces in all parts of the country turned their eyes to the silent palace of the King of Chu, waiting for the King of Chu to fight back, and they were also worried about what the King of Chu would do!

In fact, the palace of the king of Chu was far less peaceful than it appeared, and the ministers of Shangshutai in Beijing gathered for days and days. Discuss possible emergencies and how to deal with them.

Under this situation, it is impossible for Wang Xu not to be called the emperor. has come to this point, if it is soft, then there will be countless hidden dangers in the future, and neither Wei nor Wu will give up such an opportunity to shake the cohesion of Chu State, and Chu State needs a reason to gain a foothold.

As for the issues discussed by Shang Shutai, they mainly focused on the impact that he would inevitably face after becoming emperor.

After several days of secret discussions, Shang Shutai quickly implemented the plan.

The Western Legion and the White Tiger Legion, which were far away in Liangzhou, suspended military operations to unify the various ethnic groups and tribes in the territory and fully controlled all parts of Liangzhou.

Deng Zhi, the general of Zhennan, went to Jiaozhou in person, and most of the south-central border army was transferred to Jiaozhou and stationed in various key cities. The Jiaozhou Army entered full combat readiness and deployed to fight for the defense of Wu.

The Western Army retreated to the hinterland of Yizhou and stayed in Chengdu, Jiangyang and other important areas, and Taiwei Xu Shu secretly went to Yizhou to preside over the overall situation.

The general Zhao Yun went to Hangu Pass, the left Shangshu ordered Guo Jia to go to Bingzhou, and the right Shangshu ordered Pang Tong to go to Yongzhou......

It can be said that the entire army of the state of Chu was almost entirely used.

In the next two or three months, all major matters of the Chu State except for the army were temporarily put on hold, and the high-level officials devoted all their energy to the matter of becoming emperor.

During this period, the palace of Chu did not make any sound, and it was surprisingly silent.

The people were puzzled, and the civil and military officials from all sides were also puzzled, and all kinds of discussions spread all over the streets and alleys, but the officials of Chu State received only one order, and they were not allowed to care!

This tranquility was accompanied by an atmosphere of chaos that lasted until the eighth day of October in 213 AD!

This is destined to be a day that will be remembered by history, destined to be extraordinary, when the people still wake up from their sleep and walk on the street as usual, their eyes can no longer take their eyes off those examples.

The King of Chu is clearly going to be the emperor!

Each list is full of dense content, which states the merits of the king of Chu to the world and the people, and also exposes the loss of the dynasty since the end of the Han Dynasty, and even the essence of the division of the princes is also written one by one, and what the people know and what they don't know, all are revealed in brief language.

As for the last and most important paragraph, it is Wang Xu's self-statement, and there is only one core!

Reorganize the rivers and mountains, revitalize China!

The palace of Chu was silent for three months, but as soon as it sounded, it set off stormy waves!

Earlier, people were just speculating, just speculating, no matter how they talked about it, how evil it was, but after all, it was completely different from the King of Chu himself admitted.

A few days later, Wei and Wu reacted quickly.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict calling on everyone in the world to discuss the King of Chu.

Cao Cao personally drafted the document to ask for the thief, and planned to wave the army to attack Chu in March next year!

Out of interests, in order to jointly attack the state of Chu, the state of Wu also announced that it would obey the order of the Son of Heaven, beg for thieves as Hanchen, and raise troops together with the state of Wei.

Both countries regard themselves as Hanchen and act on the orders of the Son of Heaven, and really create a scene where the Han Dynasty is still there, fighting for rebellion.

At the same time, many old people and rotten Confucians were found by the two countries, these scholars did not know state affairs, but they quoted scriptures, generously stated, wrote articles day and night, gathered around all day to preach, and almost scolded the king of Chu to the end!

This is not only Wei and Wu, but also a lot of such people have gradually emerged in the territory of Chu, and many local clans have gradually had bad intentions, and there are frequent activities of spies from Wei and Wu in many places, rumors are spreading, and doubts are getting louder!

ps: the old computer is broken, the new computer just bought home can not access the Internet, the store is alive and dead for some reason, and then returned to the factory to determine what the problem is, a few days later to replace a new one, it is said that there is a problem with the hardware itself, anyway, I don't understand much!
