On the day of the official founding of the country, Shang Ji once again made a big feud with the ministers, and promoted Liu Yi to the Duke of Xingchen, Zhao Yun to the Duke of Yinlong, Liu Meng to the Duke of Greedy Wolf, Tai Shici to the Duke of Lieyang, and Beimihu to be the Duke of Evil.

These five people and Lu Bu combined to form the Six Dukes of Hengwu Kingdom, and they are the most powerful people in Hengwu Kingdom.

The rest of the generals and ministers at all levels also had their own rewards, and they were all happy.

In addition to the canonization of civil and military generals, Shang Ji also officially canonized the harem, and set up Liu Yun as the queen, as the lord of the harem, to assist Shang Ji in ruling the government; With Haoyue, Diao Chan, and Zhen Mi as the three ladies, their status is second to Liu Yun.

At the same time, Shang Cheng was officially established as the prince of the king, becoming the rightful heir of the Shang Army, and officially signed a marriage contract with Lu Linglong, the daughter of Lu Bu, the prince of war, and married after the age of fifteen.

Regarding this arranged marriage controlled by Shang Ji, Shang Cheng expressed calmness.

Although the only female personality of the Lu Bu family is a bit arrogant, and she likes to use her hands and feet, and even if there is a fair duel, Shang Cheng may not be able to beat Lu Linglong (Lu Linglong is a few years older than Shang Cheng), but Shang Cheng, who grew up under Shang Jun's oppression since childhood, said that everything is acceptable.

In addition, although Lu Linglong's "hands-on ability" is stronger, it is undeniable that she is definitely a standard beauty, although she is not very old, she already has a national posture, and it is not a loss if you think about it carefully.

Well, Shang Cheng can only comfort himself like this. Unless he is self-made like Shang Ji, otherwise don't think about unreliable things like free love.

The relocation of the capital, the vassals, the canonization of the prince of the king, the engagement ceremony of the prince of the king, and a series of important ceremonies were held, and more than half a year has passed.

Although the large-scale ceremony has not been interrupted, the pace of Hengwu Guo's rectification of military and political affairs has not stopped.

From the unification of the north to the present, almost four years have passed, and in the past four years, Hengwu State has continued to suppress bandits, relocate, and rectify, and finally govern the newly occupied Jizhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places that are not much different from the original core ruling area.

Even Yingzhou District has stabilized, four years, the aliens who dared to resist have all died, and the rest have reluctantly accepted the rule of Shangji, in the past year or so, Yingzhou has not had a large-scale rebellion, and the order of production and life has been fully restored, which is almost the same as Chenzhou, which has been occupied for a long time.

In terms of military affairs, Yingzhou, the Western Regions (in a broad sense, including some small Central Asian countries and regions that were easily occupied), and the Central Plains combined, the Shang Army had a total of 147 combat regiments.

Due to the gradual stabilization of Yingzhou, the 50 combat corps scheduled to be deployed in Yingzhou was reduced to 40, a total of 28 were deployed in the countries of the Western Regions, and a total of 79 combat corps were deployed in various parts of the Central Plains.

And among these one hundred and forty-seven combat legions, there are twenty-six titled combat legions, and these titled combat legions are the mainstay of the armed forces of the Hengwu Kingdom, with an average rank of seven soldiers, and any one placed in other small and medium-sized countries has the power to destroy the city and destroy the country.

As for the Praetorian Legion located at the peak of the Hengwu Armed Forces, after expansion and adjustment, the Praetorian Legion currently has three legions, namely the First Praetorian Legion, the Second Praetorian Legion and the Third Praetorian Legion.

Among the three major legions, the strongest combat effectiveness is the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, also known as the First Army of Hengwu by the outside world, as the name suggests, it is the strongest military force of Hengwu State. The strength of the legion is not large, only more than 60,000 people, but all the members are all ninth-order soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is off the charts.

The second legion of the Praetorian Guard is dominated by the Phoenix Dance Legion and the surrendered Servant God Legion, and the average rank is not inferior to the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, but the number of troops is not as large as that of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, and the number of sorties is very small, so it is far inferior to the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard in the eyes of outsiders.

Compared with the previous two, the average strength of the entire army of the Third Legion of the Praetorian Guard was only eight ranks, which was far worse than that of the First and Second Legions. However, the number of the Third Legion of the Praetorian Guard was very large, with a total of 300,000 people. And because the elite of the Praetorian Guard Third Legion was often drawn from the Third Legion to supplement the First Praetorian Legion, the Third Praetorian Legion was nicknamed the Auxiliary Reserve Corps of the First Praetorian Legion.

Although there is such a joking name, no one dares to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Third Praetorian Legion, except for the other two Praetorian Legions, the Third Praetorian Legion can beat any legion in the military system of Hengwu Kingdom, including the God of War Legion under the name of Lu Bu and the Shura Legion under the name of Wang Shu!

More than 100 combat legions, more than 20 titled combat legions, and the three major Praetorian Guard legions jointly built the military armed system of Hengwu State, and it was also the fundamental reason why the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu never dared to make mistakes.

The Three Kingdoms always trembled in the face of Shang Ji, and did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, fearing that they would wake up and find that the sky had changed.

At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Chuping, Yuan Shao, Marquis of Ye (Yuan Shao's title was also promoted by half a level at the founding ceremony, and the title was changed to Marquis Ye) finally ran out of oil and died of illness on the bed.

Yuan Shao's death was expected by Shang Ji, from the time of the complete defeat in the Battle of Jizhou, Yuan Shao was no longer good, and in recent years, he relied on Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and other two divine doctors to continue his life.

As the saying goes, medicine doctors don't die and their life expectancy is at the end of their lives, and even Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, the two miracle doctors, are helpless. It has been hard for more than three years, which can already be said to be a miracle.

For Yuan Shao's opponent, Shang Ji's mood was still a little complicated.

Now he can vaguely remember when the princes understood, Yuan Shao served as the leader of the alliance and commanded the world to be in high spirits. The original image is in stark contrast to the decadence and aging in recent years, which makes Shang Ji feel that the beauty is a twilight hero.

In the past few years, Yuan Shao has been quite cooperative, and has contributed a lot to stabilizing Shang Ji's rule in Jizhou, so Shang Ji was also generous to Yuan Shao, and issued an edict to posthumously crown Yuan Shao as the Duke of Zhongshan, and was buried with the rites of a duke, and at the same time sent Liu Yi to attend Yuan Shao's funeral on his behalf.

According to Yuan Shao's will, he ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to attack the Marquis of Ye.

Yuan Tan succeeded Ye Hou, ensuring the inheritance of the family and announcing the complete withdrawal of the Yuan family from the stage of hegemony in the world.

However, compared with history, whether it is for Yuan Shao personally or the Yuan family, this ending is not bad.

At the same time as Yuan Shao was buried, Shang Ji finally waited for a piece of good news that he had been looking forward to for several years.

After several years of exploration and communication, Zhang Yue, the captain of the special expedition fleet of the Hengwu Navy, the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Duhai Clan, and the Nanping Bo, finally found the gathering place of the hidden race of the Hai Clan, and established stable contact with it, and at the same time persuaded the Hai Clan to surrender to the Hengwu Kingdom!

Shang Ji ignored the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu for a long time, and waited for the surrender of the Hai Clan. Now, the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come, and Shang Ji resolutely started the journey of Hengwu Kingdom to dominate the world!

In the spring and February of the thirteenth year of Chuping, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to remove the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu from the title of treason, rebellion, disobedience, rebellion and other major crimes, and at the same time ordered Shang Ji, the king of Hengwu, to lead the army to crusade.

Hengwu Kingdom gladly received the edict and raised the country's troops to the south!
