Chapter 436: Emperor Shenwu
A new, vast empire rose in the east of Eurasia.
As the first civilized country to enter the feudal society, the Qin State was like a bright pearl, which shocked the surrounding tribes and countries.
The capital city is Chang'an.
A thin layer of snow beads spread on the towering city walls, making the entire city covered in silver, and it was extraordinarily delicate. The black flag of Daqin, under the direct sunlight, is set against the white snow, and the alternation of black and white is very eye-catching.
Among them, there were merchants who were running back and forth from all over the country, people who were visiting relatives and friends, and soldiers who had received orders to gather towards the garrison, no matter what their status, each of them rose with a heartfelt sense of pride when they saw the border of the Qin flag on the high part of the city tower.
December 7th.
After the heavy snowfall, it was a nice day with clear weather.
A team of cars drove out from all over Chang'an, marching towards the high altar cemetery in the center of the city, and after many exhortations from officials at all levels and county officials from all over the city, Li Yuan, the king of Shenwu, was going to pray on the altar in the city today.
After a series of southern and northern wars, the newly born Qin State finally restored the territory of the first emperor at its strongest.
In the north.
The Su Jiao Division of the Qin army had already gained a firm foothold in the area of Hanhai Dragon City, and its troops crossed the vast desert wasteland from time to time and advanced towards the Beihai area, where the Huns had lived for generations.
In the West.
Gu Shicheng's Ji Xin is like a nail into the Western Regions, firmly grasping the situation in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, coupled with Li Zhongxiang's coalition forces in the Western Regions sweeping back and forth, the anti-Qin states in the South Tianshan Mountains were almost swept away, even if there were those who were dissatisfied with the Qin State, they could only flee to the west early.
In the East.
The border of the Qin State has been moved to the edge of the sea, and in the area of Penglai in Qidi, the first division of the naval division under Han Xinjun is building a maritime port. The purpose of this is to connect a major sea traffic artery from north to south on the basis of galloping land transportation.
In the south.
Wang Shangjun's vanguard had already arrived in Xiangjun and was continuing to pursue Lütai in Annam, while in the southeast corner, the Jiangdong Qin army, led by Jiang Yu, was advancing along the winding mountain roads around Siming Mountain to the hinterland of Minyue. Wu Zhu deployed heavy troops in the area of Xianxia Ridge, trying to block the attack of the Qin army, but he did not want to use gunpowder. The Qin army had sharper tools and weapons in opening roads in the mountains.
Of course, these border strife were too far away for the people of Chang'an, and their attention was focused on the cemetery altar in the center of the city.
Here, today, King Li Yuan of Shenwu is about to hold an enthronement ceremony.
There's nothing wrong with that.
There are no presbyopia in your eyes, Li Yuan is finally going to officially ascend the throne and become the emperor of Qin. This is the trend of the times, and it is also a natural move.
Over the years, news about when King Wu would ascend to the throne has spread from time to time, but it has been suppressed by Li Yuan with the Great Qin Four Frontiers Weijing. Now that the four seas have surrendered and all dynasties have returned to one, Li Yuan has no excuse to resign, and more importantly, he has no excuse. After ten years of operation, Qin's internal affairs system has already gained inertia at the operational level, even if Li Yuan is now abandoned. There won't be any big problems.
High above the altar.
Fresh fruits from Lingnan were placed on the stone table in the cemetery, since the establishment of the new Qin, every important day, Li Yuan will come to this cemetery of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the new Qin, looking at this familiar name, Li Yuan seems to be able to hear their shouts.
Gan Houbo, Zhou Xing, and Ji Bu -- these famous and unknown fallen soldiers made Li Yuan have a heartfelt sense of identity and pride every time he came to the Forest of Steles.
How can he say that he has no clothes, and is with his son?
The friendship forged on the battlefield will not change no matter how many years have passed.
"Since the 38th year of the First Emperor, the original micro soldiers started in Yongqiu, took the big beam, attacked Xingyang, and Kexianyang, but where the army passed, the people had no one who did not obey." This period of history about the beginning of the new Qin army was narrated by Prime Minister Chen Ping, and the scenes in it were listened to in the ears of those who had experienced hardships and hardships, and it was like watching a replay movie.
In the face of Liu Bang's westward expeditionary army, they sang the war song of the Qin army with remnants of the soldiers, and fought until Zuihou breathed. Now, among the generals standing in front of the cemetery, Gan Yong and Zhou Ping, listening to the deeds of their fathers, the young Qin generals couldn't help but burst into tears.
The north wind blew over the Leyou Plain.
With the slightest coldness, with the momentum that swept everything, just like the resurgence of Xinqin, it smashed all the opponents who stood in its way with the momentum of destroying and decaying.
As the leader of the new Qin army, Li Yuan's feelings were even deeper.
Twelve years.
With a flick of a finger.
Li Yuan has also entered the prime of life from a young man, from a young man in his early twenties to a middle-aged man in his thirties, and now, his identity will undergo qualitative changes.
Shenwu Hou, Shenwu King, this dream of becoming a king and a marquis has long been realized for Li Yuan.
Shenwu the Great.
This is the unanimous appeal after the court solicited opinions.
The mainstream view is that if Li Yuan is called the second emperor, it will drown out his great achievements, after all, the new Qin and the old Qin are two completely different state systems, even if there is a connection between Ying Yushu, it cannot change the role played by Li Yuan in the process of establishing the new Qin state.
In private, those new Qin people from the Kanto region also believed that Li Yuan's ability was much stronger than that of the winning politicians who only inherited the throne and carried the historical Qin state. Therefore, there must be a new title in place of seniority and chronological ordering.
8th-12th.
After five days of tedious etiquette, Li Yuan officially ascended the throne, and the calendar of Qin was changed from the new calendar to the Shenwu calendar, and December 7 also became the national day of Qin.
――。
Revival of the Qin State.
For its opponents, it was a catastrophe.
And in this great storm that swept through eastern Asia, the king of Minyue, the descendant of King Yue who was cowering in the southeast corner and dreaming of recovering the Yue country, ushered in the Qin army's step-by-step pressing on Minyue in the uninterrupted nightmare.
Mei Juan and Zhao Tuo, two allies, were defeated and killed.
made the transcendent Minyue Wang Wuzhu frightened into a cold sweat.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that without allies, his Minyue land was directly exposed to the Qin army's troops, not only the Qin army threatened by the border with Jiangdong, but even the southern area began to face the oppression of the powerful Qin army on the middle of Pengyue.
What to do?
Whether it is war or peace, or it is self-contained, and one does not care about anything.
Wuzhu is at a loss, some at a loss, in Minyue, Wuzhu's tribe has always been the most powerful one, so he has always been the only one who bullied and attacked others, and few other tribes came to attack the Yue tribe, this time, the Qin army's second-way attack was reported to the Wuzhu King City, and the arrogant Yue King was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, by Wuzhu's side, there is also such a former ally as Mei Juan who has "seen" a big scene, after Mei Juan escaped from Wuling, he hid all the way east to Tibet, and when he arrived in Fujian, there were more than 300 loyal and brave soldiers of the Mei tribe who followed him, and there were less than 20 people left.
This person can't even defeat a small search team of the Qin army, and Mei Juan can only rely on Wu Zhu's command and try to defeat the Qin army with the help of Minyue soldiers.
The Great Ceremony of the Nation.
When the whole country of Great Qin was celebrating, the soldiers guarding the frontier were still spending this ordinary and unusual day in the battle.
Siming Mountain South.
The Qin general Jiang Yuzheng led the Jiangdong Army to attack Fujian, and with Peng Yue's containment in the west, Wuzhu transferred the main force to the junction of Minyue and South Vietnam in panic, which made Jiang Yu's attack not encounter much resistance from the Minyue army.
From Zhejiang to Fujian.
During this period, the mountain roads were difficult to walk, and there were several mountain ranges separated by them, and the advance speed of the Qin army in Jiangdong was slow, and due to the rash advance of Ding Gong, the whole army was overthrown, and Jiang Yu appeared more cautious when marching.
The Qin army on the northern front moved neatly, and there was no prominent and aggressive part, which made the Minyue army who tried to break through each take care of one or the other, and failed to find a fighter here in Jiang Yu, so Wuzhu had to put the goal of relieving the predicament on Peng Yuejun.
