Chapter 445: Wu Wei's Political Affairs

After Weiyun really showed his strength, the state of Chu suffered a great disaster.

The great master Fei was seriously injured and fled, and the monks of the Chu State died more than 200 people.

This amount, of course, does not seem to be much, but for the state of Chu, it is an out-and-out punch.

For no other reason, most of the more than 200 people who died were high-ranking monks!

After all, those who were summoned by Fei Pin earlier to besiege the pursuing troops of the Yanqi coalition army were all elites of the Chu State, and all of them were monks at the level of Jindan or above. And after Fipin was quickly injured and ran away, these people couldn't run away so easily.

Die or be captured.

The loss of so many high-level cultivators is also quite nerve-wracking for a Great Immortal Kingdom.

And further back, the Yanqi coalition army came out of the defense line and began to advance westward.

Before, the land that was subdued by the people of Chu, in the name of Emperor Wu, was pulled out one by one by the Yanqi coalition army.

And in this process, the people of Chu have no intention of caring at all.

But that doesn't mean it's all smooth sailing.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Protector Army was somewhat unexpected.

Defending the family and the country, this sentence can really arouse people's will to fight to the death.

Of course, despite this, they are not enough to see under the actions of the Yanqi coalition army.

But at least, their desperate fighting, in the overall situation, slowed down the speed of the Yanqi coalition's attack, and at the same time allowed more Chu people to flee back, so that they were able to regain their strength and at least maintain their organization.

And since this is the case, the Yanqi coalition army slowly slowed down and did not continue to press.

After a while, the negotiations led by Yan Guo also began.

To put it bluntly, if you continue to fight, it will not do you any good for both sides.

The state of Chu was already doomed to win, a defeat, Fei Pin's injuries, and the death of a large number of high-ranking monks made them lose the ability to organize another large army to attack.

And the Yan State, after swallowing the surrender of the Wu State and the Wei State, ate too much. It is unlikely that they will invade the territory of Chu State in one go, on the one hand, they are not enough, and on the other hand, even if they really defeat the defense force of Chu State, it will be too difficult for them to bring Chu State into rule.

Not to mention the Chu State, just now the two immortal kingdoms of Wu and Wei are both very difficult to deal with. If one is not done well, it will cause indigestion.

But Lu Qing didn't want to care about this matter anymore. It's too tiring to do this by yourself, let the two sons who are emperors do it, then it's fine.

Especially Lu Chaoxi.

Chaohe's time to become the emperor is still short, but Chaoxi's emperor career can be regarded as several decades, from the beginning of the overwhelmed, to now, it can be regarded as growing and experienced. We should be able to handle this kind of administrative work.

What's more, he also has a large group of bureaucrats in the imperial court to help.

Relatively speaking, all you need is a result.

Can the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Qi be of use to me? Can we safely train monks, especially reliable high-level monks, to deal with those fragments of time?

As long as this goal is achieved, Lu Qing doesn't mind what the process is.

......

When Lu Qing went back to cultivate hard and was about to hurry up and squeeze into the crack in the door of the Shenhai Period as soon as possible, his two sons were already scratching their bald heads.

This is, of course, for the sake of the situation on the side of Wu and Wei.

Military results are always just the beginning. There is no doubt that the Yan Qi Alliance and the Lu Clan Imperial Clan are the undoubted victorious side in the war that has been fought for so long. However, there are also many problems left by victory.

In terms of the Chu State, how will the Cao royal family be arranged in the future?

It must not be possible to make them emperors, otherwise, they will not be able to fulfill the instructions left by their father.

According to my father, it doesn't matter if the name 'Wei State' is kept or not, but the emperor, or the ruler of any other name, must be the Lu family.

In the end, Lu Chaoxi decided that the name of Wei would be retained, that the title of Emperor of Wei would be cancelled and incorporated into the rule of Dayan, and that he would still identify with the Cao Emperor, but the current emperor would definitely not be able to do it, and he would be crowned King of Wei.

After such an operation, the Wei State is still there, but it has become a part of the Yan State and is under the rule of the Great Yan Emperor.

This is a must, and it is the fruit that must be obtained under military victory. Without this achievement, what was the purpose of wasting so much effort and doing so many things before?

Of course, in order to make the rule more smooth, those supporting strategies are also necessary.

For example, the Cao clan was asked to retain the title of "King of Wei" to appease loyal ministers like Xia Cang; the name of "Wei" was also to appease the hearts of these people, at least the country was not destroyed; at the same time, the retention of the Wei court, and the retention of a large number of officials, was also to appease the people.

And all this pacification, in essence, is to make a political promise to these Wei people:

As long as you don't fool around and support the rule of my Dayan, then all the Wei people's vested interests at the moment will not be greatly damaged.

But at the same time, the implication is also very simple: if you still come to me, then wait for death.

As for the imperial court of the Wei State, since they have all promised that they will not harm their interests, then naturally, the entire imperial court should be retained.

Wei's government system, if it can be maintained, will obviously be very helpful for the subsequent Lu clan's rule over Wei. They are the local administrators of the Wei State, and the affairs of the big and small are all one, regardless of whether they are now detached from the Lu clan and how loyal they are, as long as they can guarantee that they can maintain the internal peace of the Wei State on the premise of recognizing Lu Chaoxi, the emperor, then it will be fine.

Subsequently, with the passage of time, it is possible to transform the government system of Wei step by step. Let the officials in key positions be able to follow the Lu family convincingly, and if it doesn't work, then simply remove them.

In short, this should be one that can be gently transformed.

Of course, this so-called mildness is only relative.

There are always fierce ones.

After all, this is not the homeland of the Yan Kingdom, nor is it the old people. At the beginning, when Wei ceded Yingzhou and Hezhou to Yan, some conflicts, contradictions, and uprisings broke out within these two states.

Not to mention now.

In the public opinion environment of Wei, there are many statements that Wei surrendered too easily, they can still fight, and they should not surrender so easily.

These statements are very marketable.

Such a public opinion environment represents in a certain sense, the direction of the people's hearts, and in the future, there will inevitably be riots.

However, in the cultivation world, it would be too difficult to start any uprising. As long as there is no stronger external force, in terms of the combat power that will obviously become stronger and stronger in the future, this problem will not be very big.

And in the face of the state of Wu, the problem of governance will be much more prominent.

Wu Guo's side is really a mess of porridge.

The main battles against the state of Wu must have ended. The national defense strength of the state of Wu has almost been destroyed by the system, the invading army of the state of Chu has also been resolved, and the army of the state of Wei led by Zheng Yu has also been transferred back to the territory of the state of Wei, and is ready to disperse the entire army, some of them will be disbanded, and some of them will be screened and included in the standing army of several Yan states.

But this is still only the end of the main battle, and it does not mean that the state of Wu has ushered in peace.

On the contrary, the Wu army that collapsed into the system was not completely wiped out. Their living forces still exist, and although most of them have fled, there are still some of them, scattered throughout the state of Wu, to resist. In particular, they can also get the support of the local people of Wu State, and the supplies and personnel are very sufficient.

And many local governments in Wu are also resisting, at least not cooperating.

It is now clear that the entire state of Wu is under occupation. But everywhere, the smoke of resistance has never been cut off. The Yanqi coalition army is quite exhausted, although it can be controlled by the whole, but it is difficult to establish an effective ruling foundation immediately.

And within the Yanqi coalition army, there are also problems.

After the Great Purge, the entire Qi army became very obedient, not like the earliest time, and it would not move. However, many people have also been purged under such purges, especially after some relatives and friends have died in the purges, and their morale has become low. In addition, after years of war and victory, they had to be stationed in the territory of Wu for a long time to fight a war of law and order, and the war-weariness of the entire army was quite serious.

Even, within the Qi State, there have been some trends of thought and public opinion.

They believe that they are already in the midst of the war, and have succeeded. Regardless of how this success was obtained, it is always right to win. And they, in this war, also paid a lot of price. In particular, a wave of purges that killed so many people......

In short, after paying a lot of money, the people of Qi will think that the war has been won, and it is time to harvest. The cost of maintaining rule in Wu is too great, there is no need to do that, it is better to loot a wave and snatch back the wealth of Wu, it will be enough.

After this trend of thought arises, even after a great purge, the Lu clan's control over the Qi State and the army has greatly increased, and it is difficult to suppress it.

This is normal.

If you use bloody suppression and other means to maintain system rule and establish a terrorist regime, then it is not a big problem, the Lu clan also has this strength, and when the time comes, you can go if you don't want to, and you will be done if you force it.

But it was clear that Lu would not do that. Maintaining rule is not the goal of the Lu clan, nor is it the goal of Lu Qing. To rule an immortal kingdom, that is to better unify the power of the world, otherwise what are you going to do with that effort?

The reign of terror, on the other hand, is not capable of developing the country and fully mobilizing the power of the entire country.

Since you can't engage in a reign of terror, it's no longer possible for people to put forward their opinions and express their opinions?

That's definitely okay.

So, the whole thing gets a lot of trouble.

And in the end, after the discussion between the two brothers of the emperor, including the communication with Lu Qing, the ancestor, the corresponding handling strategy was also taken out.

Qi will withdraw some of its troops and return to China, and some of them will be withdrawn one after another in the next few years, and at the same time, new troops will be sent in Qi as a rotation.

And the future state of Wu will be ruled by the state of Yan. The Yan army will also send some of them over to participate in the suppression. However, due to the power of the Yan State, most of it had to be placed within the Wei State. Don't look at it now, the Wei State is still relatively honest, but this is based on Lu Qing's deterrent power and the fact that the Yan State army has been deployed in the Wei State.

But for Dayan, the pressure is still not light. The Jin State and the Liang State in the west need to be guarded against, and this kind of border pressure makes the Yan State have to invest a lot of strength to protect the Wei State and the mainland.

After being involved in a lot of energy, it was indeed difficult for the Yan State to mobilize a team to suppress the Wei State for a long time.

But Qi doesn't have this problem. To the north is the ally Yan State, to the west is the Wei State, which has just been taken by the Yan State, and to the south is the Wu State, which has just been taken. In this way, as long as the state of Wu and the state of Wei are not chaotic, the state of Qi will suddenly become extremely safe.

Since this is the case, of course, they have the strength to mobilize to the state of Wu to carry out the task of suppression.

So the question is, on the one hand, the people of Qi are needed to carry out the task of suppression, and on the other hand, Wu is ruled by Yan, so what are the benefits of Qi?

The benefits are delivered in direct interest.

The Yan State was in charge, and distributed a large sum of money from the booty on the battlefield in China, from the Wei State, and from the Wu State, and gave it to the Qi State. This part of the proceeds will be distributed by the court of Qi to the monks and families who participated in the war. Many monks will receive their war dividends, even if they are dead, they will also have pensions to their families, relatives and friends, and fellow disciples.

Speaking of which, if the people of Qi completely plundered the Wu State, the benefits would definitely be more than that. It is precisely because of this that the people of Qi have some complaints about this.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can gag your mouth a little, that's enough.

As for the Wu homeland, their country name is still temporarily retained. But the nature of this reservation is completely different from that of Wei. In the territory of Wu State, military control will be temporarily implemented, and the Yan-Qi coalition army, mainly the Qi army, will take Jiandu as the core and sweep it up gradually and place by place.

As for the work of restoring the rule of Wu, Yan State is not without contribution. Although in terms of military strength, we cannot draw out too many manpower, but we can do a lot to form a new government.

Whenever the Qi army cleaned up a place, the Yan State would handle the local government affairs as the bureaucrats of the administration, mixed with some people from the Wei State and promoted from the local defectors of the Wu State.

Pacify the local forces, monks, and people, and restore order......

Doing things step by step, step by step, is always a way to solve it.
