In Yongguan City, the generals of the new army were all gathered together to discuss the next move.

The Yanzhou army has become a scale, which is bound to attract the attention of the imperial capital, and a major war is about to break out, and a decisive battle may break out at any time.

The entire 300,000 army under his command is no longer a small fight, and every force is personally commanded by Jiang Feng, which is obviously impossible, and the military power must be distributed to the generals with confidence, and then they will have full command according to the battlefield situation.

"Commanders, princes, tribal leaders, please be sure to train the new army seriously, as soon as half a year, we will cross the Lanjiang moat, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and strive to unify the Snow Moon Empire within two years. ”

Jiang Feng pointed to the sand table in front of him and said, "The Lanjiang River is very wide, and it takes a lot of boats to cross the river, and Fengdu's army is bound to wait for us to land on the shore, so in addition to training the new army, it is also necessary to form a naval division." ”

"Your Royal Highness, I think these things can be ignored for the time being, you and the Snow Country are divided into rivers and rules, which means that you and Jiang Cheng have the same status, and you should be called the emperor, only in this way can you have more popular appeal. Chu He proposed.

Today's situation, the people's aspirations, is the best time to become emperor, if you miss this moment, it will be difficult to find a suitable reason in the future.

"I agree, it's long overdue to be called the emperor, in terms of territory, in terms of military strength, the Yanzhou New Army can stand alone. Long Yun seconded.

The rest of the generals present expressed their approval.

"Emperor?"

Jiang Feng froze in place, thinking for a few seconds, he had been busy fighting all these years, and he really hadn't seriously considered this matter.

"After becoming emperor, you can hold the Vermilion Bird Jade Seal and call on all vassal states as a monarch. ”

Jiang Feng did not reply to Chu He immediately, but thought about it for a moment, it was not child's play to call the emperor, and the matter of the First Emperor's unification of the six countries suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Convey my order to the officers and soldiers of the three armies, from now on, change the name of the country to Daqin, set Jiuli City as the national capital, the north of the Lanjiang River, and the 800 miles of grassland in Yanzhou, all belong to the territory of the Great Qin Empire. ”

After the establishment of the national name, Jiang Feng took the lead in issuing the Enshi Decree, exempting the local people from three years of forced labor and taxes.

At the same time, three new military regulations were established in public, and the Yanzhou New Army did not take a stitch from the people, did not rape or insult women, and did not damage farmland and houses.

Exchange Kills for high-yielding and stable cold-resistant rice seeds and potatoes from the store, and give them to local villagers for free to plant to solve the current famine.

Abolish the slave dignity and inferiority system, advocate that all men are created equal, encourage more children, except for the existing commander-in-chief generals, the rest of the generals are promoted with reference to the military exploits obtained, even the lowest slaves, can turn over and become generals.

The hereditary system of generals was abolished, and even the son of a commander had to have great merit in order to be promoted.

Except for the 150,000 Yanzhou elites, all other local forces have reduced their troops, reduced their military budgets, and reduced the loss of grain and grass.

There are not many soldiers, but they are fine, this is the eternal last word, the era of fighting a war by piling up crowds has passed, and the improvement of strategy and weapons is far more important than the number of soldiers.

The Longqiang Arrow Array and the howitzer battalion were merged into the Shenji Battalion, with Long Yun as the commander, and the various princes' forces and troops were absorbed, and after the reduction, there were still 70,000 people left, and they were renamed the Southern Yu Water Division, which was under the control of the Chu River.

The Southern Yu Water Division was immediately put into the Lanjiang River for actual combat exercises.

The creation of the Great Qin New Kingdom not only shook the Snow Country court, but also made several neighboring powers feel a deep threat.

Such a peaceful and prosperous era naturally attracted hundreds of people to move north, and the Great Qin Empire skyrocketed from the initial three million people to seven million.

However, Jiang Feng did not levy troops and pay food, but exempted them from conscription and taxes, and at the same time reduced his troops on a large scale.

Such an untimely move made other countries feel incredible.

The rebellion in Yanzhou, which had existed since a hundred years ago, had a maximum of more than 500,000 people, but in the end they all ended in failure, and they did not even open Tongguan, Bauhinia Pass and Yongguan.

And Jiang Feng, who only brought 30,000 troops, won three levels in a row without bloodshed in ten days, and defeated Qin Lan and Murong Hao half a year later, and destroyed the elite division of the forbidden army, the Xiao cavalry battalion.

Today, there are 300,000 new troops under his command, and there is enough hard power to compete with Snow Country, and there is even a probability that it will be swallowed whole.

"Monarch, after the news of his accession to the throne came out, the princes of Qin came to worship one after another, and were willing to pay tribute every year, but there was a land, named Linzi, but refused to be a vassal to Great Qin, and there were signs of frequent troop transfers, and even slaughtered several nearby villages and towns to demonstrate to the new dynasty. Chu He informed Jiang Feng of the information he had obtained.

"Linzi?"

"In terms of seniority, Jiang Hao, the prince of Linzi, is Your Majesty's uncle, and it is normal for him to be close to the Snow Country court and unwilling to submit to the Yanzhou army. ”

Chu He pointed to the sand table and said in detail: "Linzi now governs sixty-five towns, and a radius of eighty miles is subordinate to Jiang Hao's fiefdom, and the number of troops is about more than 100,000, which is also the capital that he dares to argue with the new dynasty." ”

"The princes and kings support their troops and stand on their own, which is not a good sign! What's more, the princes in the Qin State are basically surnamed Jiang, and they are born from the same root, but they have to force me to be ruthless. ”

Jiang Feng's heart is like a mirror, and many civil strife in history originated from the power of the princes.

If it is allowed to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the safest way is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and completely abolish the fiefdoms of the princes, so as to prevent future troubles.

"Immediately count tens of thousands of troops on the school ground, and I will personally march to conquer Linzi. ”

"Monarch, this is absolutely impossible, you are now the Ninth Five-Year Honor, your status is noble, and you can't afford the slightest mistake, how can you go to the front line to fight in person? ”

"After destroying Linzi, I used this as an excuse to take back the fiefs of other vassal states, and changed them all into counties, and the Yanzhou generals led the army to garrison, and gave the false post of Taishou to all the princes. ”

Jiang Feng had wanted to do this for a long time, but he couldn't find a reasonable excuse.

Now that Linzi is rebelling, it is the best time for him to send troops to suppress it.

The princes of various places are only temporarily subjugated to Jiang Feng, and the fiefs only nominally belong to the Qin State, if the Snow Country attacks heavily in the future, then these princes are likely to stab Great Qin's knife in the back.

Rather than this, it is better to collect them all and include them as the land of Great Qin.

"That's great!"

Chu He was amazed by Jiang Feng's repeated decisions, throughout the three hundred years of history of the Snow Country, there had never been such a wise and decisive monarch.
