After completing the deal with Bang Zhou, Wang Zhao led the army and began to return to Huai. This time the Huai State gained a lot, Zhong Wu was annexed, and he needed to go back and share the results with the Xu State.

The territory of Zhongwu is not small, and Wang Zhao decided to divide it into two, the eastern part belongs to Huai State, and the western part belongs to Xu State. After annexing Zhongwu's land, Huai directly expanded its territory by one-third. Originally, Siwu City, the capital of Zhongwu State, became the front line used by Huai State to defend against the northern Shandong princes.

Although the Huai State was canonized by Bang Zhou and became a dukedom, the attitude of the Bang Zhou States towards Huai did not change much. Especially after the Huai and Xu alliances defeated Bang Zhou and annexed Zhongwu, the Shandong states were very wary of Huai and Xu.

[Huai Guo was canonized by Zhou Tianzi, Huai became a country of princes, the country you established was recognized by Bang Zhou, your luck increased, your family was reduced by the Mandate of Heaven, and you obtained a heaven-level item: Mending Heaven Pill. 】

[Mending Heaven Pill: After use, it can make people reborn and change, all attributes +5, and the highest attribute can reach 95. 】

The sudden system prompt woke Zijue up, and after seeing Zhou Tianzi pinching his nose and sending the canonization gold book to Huaiguo, Zijue nodded slightly, this canonization can be regarded as a supplement to his hasty establishment of the country in Huaisi.

After Wang Zhao and Duke Xu distributed the spoils, they returned with the army. At the same time, Bang Zhou also began to adjust a number of columns. More precisely, it is to divide the power.

Zhou Tianzi died, the six armies of the Son of Heaven suffered heavy losses, the crown prince ascended the throne, and the power of Wang Ji of Zhou can be said to be a major reshuffle.

The Marquis of Jin obtained the position of Taibao and Chunguan Zongbo, Zongbo is a ceremonial official, managing the genealogy, inheritance, and sacrifice of the Son of Heaven and the princes, and the princes surnamed Ji must be subject to his control.

The Marquis of Qi obtained the position of Taishi, and concurrently led the Xia official Sima, commanding the six armies of the Son of Heaven. Shenhou is the Taifu and the Tianguan Tsukasa, who is in charge of the governance of Wangji and is the head of the hundred officials.

The local official is served by the marquis, who is in charge of the taxes of Wangji, and the daughter of the marquis is the queen of the Son of Heaven, so letting him serve as the local official is also to let the Son of Heaven control the money and grain.

As for the autumn and winter officials, they were also held by the princes, and the power of Wang Ji was quickly distributed.

The division of rights will not be satisfactory to everyone, but as long as the majority of people agree, the power structure will work. Bang Zhou suffered heavy losses this time, and the next thing is to recuperate.

Bang Zhou's politics seemed to be stable, but it could not change the situation where the princes were strong and the sons of heaven were weak.

Fortunately, with the negotiation of peace with Huai and the canonization of it as a duke's country, Huai began to release prisoners one after another. The return of more than 30,000 captives also allowed a large number of experienced soldiers in the six armies of the Son of Heaven and enhanced the strength of the six armies of the Son of Heaven.

......

Huaiguo.

After the great victory, the Huai Kingdom began to digest the spoils obtained this time, and the land of Zhongwu needed to be built. At the same time, the army also needs to be recruited.

This battle hurt Bang Zhou, and for at least one or two decades, Bang Zhou would not dare to deal with Huai again. Huai's next policy was to strengthen Zhongwu's defenses while continuing to develop to the south.

Compared with the northern countries, the Huaiyi tribe in the south is weak, which can make the strength of the Huai country continue to improve. Wang Zhao is not a mediocre monarch, on the contrary, under Zijue's education, he knows his position very well.

During the fifty years of Zijue's reign, the Huai Kingdom has been greatly developed, and the population has multiplied. Fifty years is enough time for people to reproduce for two to three generations, and because of the improvement of hygiene and medical treatment, the population of the capital of Huai has exceeded 100,000.

The last time the state attacked Huai'an, part of the population was relocated to other cities.

In this era, there was no chemical fertilizer on the land, there were no good seeds, and there was a lot of pressure on the land to maintain such a large city for a long time. Therefore, Wang Zhao began to take advantage of the opportunity of this reward and began to migrate the people in Huai'an City.

Of course, Wang Zhao did not use sub-fiefdom, but caiyi.

Some of these estates were arranged on the land from Zhongwu Kingdom to the north bank of Huaishui, and the other part was arranged in the south. This was done on the one hand to strengthen the defense of the North, and on the other hand to open up the South.

With the passage of time, the Huai State continued to grow stronger under the rule of Wang Zhao. In the blink of an eye, four years passed, and Bang Zhou Tianzi was crowned as an adult, and then began to officially govern.

It's just that the transfer of this right is not very smooth, after all, not everyone is Zhou Gongdan, who can assist the Son of Heaven and return the rights when the Son of Heaven becomes an adult. How terrible the erosion of power is has been seen countless times in history.

Although Ji Man eventually took back his power, a rift between the Zhou royal family and the princes had also appeared.

The rivalry between the Zhou royal family and the princes did not affect the Huai state, which continued to grow under Wang Zhao's rule. In the following ten years, in order to revive the prestige of the royal family, this Zhou Tianzi also wanted to weaken the increasingly prosperous dog Rong. Zhou Tianzi launched two wars against the dogs.

The first expedition to the dog Rong, because there were ministers to dissuade it, in case the old thing of 'King Ra's southern expedition will not return' again, and the dog Rong has always been subservient to the Zhou Dynasty, it is not easy to use force, and the policy of Yaode does not watch the army to deter the dog Rong. It's just that the minister's father's sentence of 'the king of Ra's southern expedition will not return' touched the sensitive nerves of the Son of Heaven.

Ji Man strongly rejected his father's strategy and insisted on going west. Ji Man learned the lesson of his father, and although he won this expedition to the west, he did not achieve much. It's just that the consequences of this war are somewhat serious, causing the Rongdi tribes on the frontier to no longer worship Bang Zhou.

Bian Yi did not go to court, which exacerbated the contradiction between the Zhou Dynasty and Bian Yi, so Ji Man launched the western expedition to the dog Rong again, and the war state Zhou won a big victory, defeated the dog Rong, and forcibly relocated a part of the Rong people.

Ji Man's conquest of Rong Di showed Wang Ji's strength, boasted of martial arts, and shocked the princes. This also swept away the decadence of the royal family since King Ra, and the Zhou royal family appeared in the middle of the rise.

Because of the power struggle between Ji Man and the auxiliary minister, there were also some cracks in the relationship between Ji Man and the Jin State and the Qi State. In order to beat the Marquis of Qi, Ji Man appointed the Marquis of Ji as one of the three dukes, and on the other hand, he appointed the Marquis of Yu and the Marquis of Yu as the ministers of Wangji.

Ji Man used this political means to weaken the influence of the Qi and Jin states. It was right for the royal family to maintain the balance among the princes, but in the eyes of the princes it was a betrayal.

However, the ass decides the head, and Ji Man's approach is more in line with the interests of the Zhou royal family. Ji Man's reign brought the Zhou dynasty into Zhongxing.

The feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty made the Western Zhou Dynasty grow rapidly in the early days of the dynasty, and the policy of Xia Jun Yimin made the Zhou royal family enter its peak, but with the passage of time, the gradual expansion of the feudal princes also caused the situation that the main weak ministers and strong tails could not be lost, and with the decline of the Zhou royal family and the reduction of the princes' tribute, the Zhou royal family gradually became a symbol. ——The Cambridge History of China: Western Zhou Vol. 3
