Chapter 156: Unification of the Central Plains
The battle of Chang'an spread all over the world, and the world was shocked!
In the past, even the three great grandmasters could only flee in front of the well-trained elite soldiers, and it was the limit to be able to retreat with their whole body, but now Xiao Ran launched a successful coup d'état with less than ten martial arts masters.
Xiao Ran's Qingxu Flame and Song Que rushed into battle alone, and with the strength of the three of them, they captured Li Yuan, who was protected by many masters, and the combat power against the sky shocked the contemporary generation.
To be honest, Li Yuan's response did not make a mistake, but he lost so inexplicably.
All the warlords wondered if they could stop the attack of these three people, and whether they could ignore the superiority in numbers when they reached the limit of their strength?
Xiao Ran won Chang'an and supervised the country as the emperor, except for the chaotic fighting caused by the first night, Chang'an was much calmer on the second day, and the situation was all stable on the third day!
Bold civilians began to walk the streets.
On the third day after the coup, Xiao Ran's Jingling arrived in Chang'an with a large number of his henchmen, and the officials and people of Chang'an City discovered that there were iron boats in this world that could sail on the river.
What's more, this iron ship doesn't need wind manpower, just spitting black smoke to run that fast. The people of the world are in awe, thinking that Xiao Ran has the ability to envoy ghosts and gods.
In the past three days, Zhaoshu came out of the imperial city like snowflakes, the officials who were originally loyal to Li Tang were idle, the officials who had contributed to the coup d'état were promoted in large numbers, and Xiao Ran's henchmen who came with the Jingling were also arranged in important positions in the court.
Most of Xiao Ran Luoyang's henchmen were also former ministers of the Sui Dynasty, and they were still comfortable being officials in different places, and they did not cause much rejection from the military and people of Chang'an.
Only now did Chang'an really fall under Xiao Ran's control.
Xiao Ran also repatriated all Bi Xuan and others, and then surrendered Li Tang's old troops in the name of Li Yuan, and in order to appease Li Tang's people, he also promised Li Xiuning to Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong is Xiao Ran's confidant and favorite general, and after defeating Li Mi, he has become the most popular military general today, even Li Shimin is a little behind.
Because Li Mi's previous momentum was too long, he was the most likely person to become the lord of the world, and it can be said that Li Mi became Kou Zhong's tiptoeing stone.
Li Tang already has Hu blood, like Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, but Li Yuan still married Yang Guang's little wives, Li Shimin seems to have done these things, in the eyes of the Han people, this is really messy, but in the tradition of the Hu people, this is a normal thing.
Therefore, Xiao Ran's actions did not cause opposition from the Li family, Chai Shao was previously taken care of by Xiao Ran in the chaos and died in the chaos, so for Li Yuan, this is a good thing, indicating that Xiao Ran has no intention of killing him.
Kou Zhong was painful and happy, although he did not officially say that he wanted to be loyal to Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran never asked him to express his attitude, but he unknowingly became the number one general under Xiao Ran except for Li Jing.
Xiao Ran is his teacher and friend, and now that Xiao Ran has promised him the object of his love at first sight, Kou Zhong finally gave up his plan to mix with him, and began to work for Xiao Ran with peace of mind.
After receiving Li Yuan's letter of surrender, most of the old generals of Li Tang returned to Chang'an to report on their work, and a small number followed Li Shimin.
Li Shimin did not surrender at first, but because of the fall of Chang'an, there was a fire in the backyard, and now there is Xue Ju in front and Xiao Ran in the back.
Xiao Ran asked Kou Zhong to lead troops to attack Li Shimin, in the original history, Kou Zhong and Li Shimin had only one head-to-head duel, but at that time, Kou Zhong was subject to too many restrictions and was defeated and lost!
Now that Kou Zhong is attacking Li Shimin with superior forces, Xiao Ran wants to know what the result will be!
As a result, Li Shimin's troops and logistics forces were all defeated, and he fought with Kou Zhong three times, and all three times were defeated.
The last time, Kou Zhong led the Heavenly Knights Order, which was less than a thousand people, to break Li Shimin's Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, and the Heavenly Knights once again showed their combat power that shocked the world, integrating the heavy armor protection and impact of the heavy cavalry and the agility of the light cavalry.
In the end, Li Shimin surrendered under the persuasion of Li Xiuning and returned to Chang'an to become an idle Qin duke.
Later, Xiao Ran's second steam-ironclad ship Xiangyang was also built, Xiao Ran took Chen Changlin as the general of the navy, and on the river, two steam-ironclad ships equipped with the most basic iron cannons led the navy to break the waterway alliance of Shen Faxing and Xiao Milling.
Song Valve and Lin Shihong disabled the two armies, Song Shidao killed Xiao Miao, Shen Faxing surrendered and offered the table, and the south finally fell completely into Xiao Ran's hands!
With the addition of Chang'an, most of the world has fallen into the hands of Xiao Ran, and the north is shocked, and the remnants of the warlords have united to reject Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran ignored the opposition of the world, took Kou Zhong as the main general, and used Li Jing, Li Shimin and others to go on another northern expedition.
Shi Fei Xuan wandered among the major forces in the north, divided and collapsed, and it was said that Luo Yi betrayed the coalition army, and finally Luo Yi and Li Shimin broke Dou Jiande.
Subsequently, the army devastated and pacified the north.
At the end of the Northern Expedition, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan and others shined and became the most dazzling generals.
Shen Luoyan formed a staff group as a woman, and she also made great achievements.
After the Northern Expedition, the Turks attacked, and the Heavenly Knights, which had increased to 5,000 people, shone again, breaking the Turkic coalition army known as one million on the plains, and retracted back to the grassland.
After that, Xiao Ran built the third ironclad ship, the Luoyang, which far surpassed Jingling and Xiangyang in terms of tonnage and artillery.
Xiao Ran divided the water and land armies to advance at the same time, with Li Jing as the main general, conquered Goryeo within three months, and the power of the iron ship cannon made the Goryeo people stupid!
For this matter, Kou Zhong resigned angrily, but Xiao Ran was unmoved!
For anyone in power, Goryeo is a threat, otherwise why would Yang Jian fight Goryeo, Yang Guang would fight Goryeo, and Li Shimin would also fight Goryeo!
At this point, the world has finally been unified again, and no external force can threaten Xiao Ran's rule!
......
After Xiao Ran mastered Chang'an for two years, the wolf's tooth rice was finally promoted to the whole country, called the heaven-sent holy rice!
The grain yield of nearly 3,000 catties per mu made everyone in the world happy and stupid, and pushed Xiao Ran's momentum to the extreme!
But this wolf tooth rice is the same as hybrid rice, if you don't use the cultivated seeds, just the seeds produced by the wolf tooth rice will not have such an effect!
This is the only one, Xiao Ran held the issuance of wolf tooth rice in his hand, and people of insight can see that as long as this wolf tooth rice is still in Xiao Ran's hands, Xiao Ran's position will be unbreakable.
At the same time, Xiao Ran opened up righteousness, encouraged business, developed a market economy, and engaged in infrastructure construction for the people......
In general, it is to promote the set that Jingling did to the whole country.
The effect is also surprisingly good, but in the second year, the vitality of the Central Plains will recover most of it, reaching the scene of the emperor's rule.
......
The concubine Xuan was dressed as a scribe in green clothes, walking on the streets of Chang'an City, and saw Wan Wan in an official uniform.
Zhu Yuyan and Fan Qinghui are not very in charge of things now, Cihang Jingzhai and Demon Gate...... No, what is now called the Holy Gate is controlled by these two women.
(Fighting the war or something in the internal affairs of the past, otherwise you have to write a million words, the Tang Dynasty will end, after all, we must write fantasy!)
However, Datang still has at least one or twenty chapters, and the next time Xiao Ran arrives in Datang, Datang will become uneven recognizable to him!
He sows the seed, and what the seed will grow, he himself does not know!)
