The fall of the Qing Dynasty marked the temporary end of the Great War in the Central Plains.

In less than two months, while keeping the Great Jin Dynasty, Daxia captured the Han and Qing dynasties in succession, becoming the biggest winner of this war.

During this period, after a series of fierce battles, the Mongol army completely defeated the Turkic cavalry and successfully occupied the Western Turkic Khanate. As a result of this war, the Mongol kingdom expanded by half and became a super steppe kingdom that stretched east and west.

In terms of the territorial area of the Huaxia region alone, the territory of Mongolia is already equivalent to that of Bactria in terms of territory.

With the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the Six Nations Alliance is not counted, on an individual basis, Mongolia has replaced the Great Zhou Dynasty and become the biggest opponent of the Great Xia to unify the Chinese region.

In between, there is always a battle.

…………

On August 21, Ouyang Shuo arrived in Kyoto City.

Although when the Great Zhou army withdrew from the Great Jin Dynasty, the Phoenix Prisoner had officially proposed to Ouyang Shuo to merge the Great Jin Dynasty into Great Xia, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to receive the Great Jin Dynasty.

A war has just ended, the Great Jin Dynasty finally held the land, it is the time when morale is the highest, and it is also the most cohesive time for the government and the opposition.

The second is that the Great Jin Dynasty is full of holes, there is still a split between the DPRK and China, and the phoenix prisoner is undergoing a large-scale purge of unprecedented scale. If it is merged into Great Xia at this time, I am afraid that it will be abandoned halfway.

Ouyang Shuo just wanted to borrow the hand of the phoenix prisoner to plow the Great Jin again, and then receive it.

The pot that allows the phoenix prisoner to "clean" on his back may seem hypocritical, but from the perspective of Great Xia, this is the most beneficial way for Great Xia, and I believe that the phoenix prisoner can also understand it.

And with the arrogance of a phoenix, he didn't want to hand over a smoky and miasma to Ouyang Shuo.

And so it was settled.

After the phoenix prisoner completes the purge, and then merges the Great Jin Dynasty into Daxia, then Daxia can appear as a "savior" to calm the sequelae caused by the purge, and can also buy people's hearts.

In this way, a relatively intact Dajin can be preserved to the greatest extent, after all, Ouyang Shuo doesn't want to receive a mess.

For the phoenix, the Great Jin Dynasty is like her "dowry", and the quality of the "dowry" is also related to how high the phoenix can go in Daxia in the future.

Compared with Bai Hua and others, the phoenix prisoner is a latecomer in the end.

Ouyang Shuo was very important to the Phoenix Prisoner, and he also had high expectations, so he naturally didn't want the Phoenix Prisoner to cause criticism as soon as he joined the Great Xia System.

Kyoto Castle, Josai Villa.

When he came to Kyoto City, Ouyang Shuo neither met with the members of the Qing royal family, nor did he meet the old ministers of the Qing Dynasty with great fanfare, but nested in a clean courtyard and dealt with post-war affairs in a low-key manner.

Staying in the room, Ouyang Shuo could still hear the hustle and bustle from the streets, the sound of firecrackers constantly, it was the people of Kyoto who were celebrating the "recovery" of Kyoto City in Daxia.

The enmity between the Manchus and the Han is really unreasonable.

No matter how low-key Ouyang Shuo is, his appearance still stirs up waves in the pool of water in Kyoto. Without Ouyang Shuo coming forward, just his name can bring deterrence to this ancient city.

The hustle and bustle of Kyoto Castle seems to have become quiet all of a sudden.

There is a good saying, it is called "the name of a person, the shadow of a tree", Ouyang Shuo has now reached this realm, just by his name, he can do things that many people can't do no matter how hard they try.

Just like this time.

Although Ouyang Shuo did not show up and only stayed in the other courtyard, because of his existence, the officials sent by Great Xia to receive Kyoto City immediately felt that the previous difficult work had become smoother.

The resistance encountered before seemed to disappear without a trace.

The Bactria Imperial Court had decided to incorporate Kyoto Prefecture into the Northern Xinjiang Province, and the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate would also be relocated to Kyoto City. In the future, Kyoto Castle will be positioned as the central city of the dynasty in Hokkaichi.

With Kyoto Castle as the center, it radiates to the entire northern border.

For such a strategically located city, the imperial court is naturally very attentive, and the degree of attention is no less than that of receiving a province.

Another difference between Kyoto Castle and other places is that the officials in the castle are mainly Manchurian.

Naturally, this is not possible.

The imperial court has decided to remove all the officials above the fifth rank in Kyoto City, except for a few who have a good reputation, and the rest will either be demoted to commoners or sent to other provinces.

In doing so, the resistance is naturally not ordinarily large, after all, it is smashing other people's iron rice bowls. If it weren't for Ouyang Shuo personally sitting in Kyoto City, even with the current prestige of Great Xia, I am afraid that there would be chaos.

In addition to the officials in the city, the more tricky thing is how to place the Qing royal family, especially the Kangxi Emperor.

In this regard, the imperial court has two opinions.

One believes that Kangxi should be named the king of the Qing Dynasty and confined to the palace to appease the people.

But some people are not at ease, thinking that Kangxi is not as good as Liu Fuling, the former prince of the Han Dynasty, and has unparalleled prestige among the Manchurians, even if Kangxi is restricted from traveling, he will still play a role in secret.

Rather than this, it is better to give Kangxi to death, and it will be a hundred.

There are also objections to this approach.

One gave death to an emperor who had surrendered, which was a loss of dynastic grace; Second, if a precedent is set, it will only make the future dynasty resist to the end and swear not to surrender.

Fighting back and forth, in the end, Ouyang Shuo has to make a decision.

Ouyang Shuo pondered for a while, it was definitely not possible to crown Kangxi as the king of the Qing Dynasty, and he decided to adopt a compromise method to demote all the members of the Qing royal family, including Kangxi, to commoners and send them to southern Xinjiang.

There is a reason why the Qing royal family and the Han royal family are treated differently.

First, the former Han civil and military officials were basically reused by the Great Xia, while the Qing officials had to face a great purge, so the resistance to derogating the Qing royal family was much smaller.

Second, Tian Wenjing, Zuo Zongtang and other Qing Dynasty officials who served in Great Xia were all Han Chinese, and they did not have too deep feelings for the Qing Dynasty, and Ouyang Shuo naturally did not need to take care of these people's feelings.

Third, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a very high prestige in the entire Han nation, and his influence was not only limited to a central plains province, but also radiated to the whole of China.

Therefore, even for this reason, Great Xia must take care of the descendants of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In contrast, Emperor Kangxi's influence among the Chinese people is much weaker, just like the current Kyoto City, there are not a few people who applaud and applaud.

Therefore, even if Emperor Kangxi is demoted to a commoner, except for the Manchurians, I am afraid that no one will come out to fight the grievances.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo didn't do too much, and he named Yinzhen, the fourth son of Emperor Kangxi, who later became the second-class earl of Emperor Yongzheng, which was considered to be the face of the Qing royal family.

In this way, there can also be an explanation for the surrendered Qing army.

This attack on the Qing Dynasty, a total of 320,000 Qing troops were captured, how to deal with this batch of prisoners of war, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, but just let the Northern Xinjiang Army be responsible for the outskirts of Kyoto.

The reorganization of the army will affect the whole body.

Ouyang Shuo was ready to wait until the Great Jin Dynasty was annexed, combined with the Great Jin Army, plus the Han Army that had been captured before, to have a systematic army reorganization, instead of a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west.

What's more, this Central Plains War is far from over.

Just when Ouyang Shuo was sitting in Kyoto City, Han Xin had already led the Leopard Tao army to return to the Central Plains Province. In a short period of time, neither Qin Tang nor Da Zhou dared to fight the idea of the Great Jin.

The Leopard Tao Army naturally does not need to be stationed in Dajin.

The Central Plains Province had just been captured, and it was only then that a large army was really needed.

After handing over the defense to the Leopard Tao Army, the Fifth Army of the City Guard Army stationed in Luoyang will return to Shanhai City.

Similarly, after handing over the prisoners of war to the Northern Frontier Army, the Praetorian Guards would return to Shanhai City.

The troops attacking the Qing Dynasty, except for the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jing to temporarily sit in Kyoto City, the three legions of the City Guard Army, the three legions of the Yingyang Army and the First Army of the Yingzhou Corps will all return to their respective stations one after another.

Depending on the situation, Great Xia was not ready to destroy Great Zhou in one fell swoop.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the remaining five-nation alliance will surely be more closely united.

The armies of the five countries combined, more than three million, affect the whole body, not to say that you can start a war if you want to, if one is not good, you may be burned.

Ouyang Shuo's strategy is to nibble one by one.

Of course, in order to speed up the encroachment progress, Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate to play one hole card after another.

The place where the war broke out this time was from the southeast.

On August 22, the day after Ouyang Shuo left for Kyoto City, Sun Bin, deputy commander of the Southeast Theater of Operations, commanded the Huben Army and the Xiangjiang Army, totaling 600,000 troops, to brazenly enter the Jiangnan Province of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The flames of war, which had just been quelled, were once again ignited.
