Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

For talents like Feng Guoyong brothers, Wang Jing has always warmly welcomed them. He not only hosted a special banquet to entertain them, but also intended to entrust them with important tasks so that their abilities have room to display.

It is a crime to leave top talent idle.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and when it was about to enter the eighth year of the beginning, the number of top talents who came to seek refuge still maintained the original number. After the Feng Brothers, there were not many talents who could step into the ninth rank.

December [-]th, the seventh year of the beginning.

On this day, Wang Jing summoned his confidants in the Palace of Qinzheng,

The important ministers of the three provinces, the six ministers, and many generals in the army gathered together to report to the emperor.

At the end of each year, as long as he is not on an expedition, Wang Jing will call his officials to summarize the year and prepare for the next year's governance and strategy.

"The chief envoy of Huaixi Province reported that 74 counties in the nine prefectures of the whole province have built roads, and 1000 million mu of farmland has been newly reclaimed..."

As a bachelor in charge of government affairs, Shen Yi first stood up and reported the internal affairs of the major provinces.

Today's Great Xia Dynasty has a total of fourteen provinces. No, if the newly captured Jiangxia land is also set as a province, it will be fifteen provinces.

At this time, except for Jiangxia in the west, the war has not yet subsided, and the other provinces, including the four newly established provinces in the southeast, have returned to normal from the war.

The province that has just returned to calm is still in a state of ruins, and it will take at least two or three years to become prosperous.

And the major provinces in the north of the Yangtze River have not encountered war for a long time after Wang Jing crossed the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, the major provinces in Jiangbei are developing very fast, making thousands of miles with each passing day.Even Huaixi Province, which is close to Cao Wei and needs to set up military defenses, has made great progress.

Everywhere in Jiangbei, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperity is increasing.Before Jiangnan entered into stability, Jiangbei had already lived a peaceful and leisurely life.

Wang Jing closed his eyes slightly and listened quietly.

“截止到今日，我大夏共有军民一亿三千760万人……战兵230万，卫所兵280万……太初七年共收取赋税9000万金元，13亿6000万银晶！”

The number of Dingkou in the territory, the number of soldiers, and the taxes collected.

After going through the statistics of the Ministry of Government Affairs, Shen Yi reported them one by one.

Everyone in the hall also listened quietly, but they could see the uncontrollable shock in their eyes, especially Zhang Juzheng, Han Qinhu, Feng Guoyong and others who had defected to Wang Jing for a short time.

Zhang Juzheng had some understanding of Daxia's national strength, and quickly calmed down, while Han Qinhu and Feng Guoyong, who were fortunate enough to be in the hall with many important ministers, couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts.

Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, this sentence is really good.

Only by hearing and seeing it for yourself can you know the depth and strength of Daxia.

"Yes, this year's continuous expansion and growth despite the successive wars started, the contribution of several great scholars is indispensable! There are also six ministers, and the chief envoys and prefects of each province also have credit!"

After Shen Yi finished reporting, Wang Jing opened his eyes and began to praise.

The civil officials who govern the local area are different from the generals and schools in the army. Their meritorious service mainly depends on their political performance.But correspondingly, they are basically unable to get the reward of the title.

In order to reward his courtiers, Wang Jing would select three civil servants with the most outstanding political achievements every year, and confer the title of third-class court minister, which is considered a special kindness.

The third-class court inviter belongs to the lowest title, and the second-generation title will be degraded and disappear.

Therefore, such a title will not arouse the opposition and hostility of the lieutenant generals.

"Great Xia's prosperity today is all due to His Majesty's Sacred Heart. How dare the ministers take credit for it!"

Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang, Su Wei and other great scholars stepped forward and said.

When the monarch praises it, the courtiers must naturally be humble, otherwise they will be arrogant and disrespectful to the king.These are all due courtesy.

After Wang Jing listened to the report from the Ministry of Government Affairs, Gao Yan went forward to report on behalf of the Privy Council.

What he reported was naturally the military situation in various places.

Except for the battalion of soldiers and horses confronting each other in Jiangxia and the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were few fights in other parts of Daxia. The southeast, which had just been pacified, was honestly accepted and reorganized under the strong deterrence of the Xia army, and did not dare to attack.

Wei Rui and other generals, as well as Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Defang and others also returned to Jinling not long ago.

"Your Majesty, the big and small forces in Jiangxi and other places have come to Jinling, and now they are all placed in the post house waiting to be summoned!"

"There are also princes from Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, who also sent envoys to pay homage, present memorials, and are willing to proclaim their ministers to my great Xia..."

Finally, Gao Yan mentioned the forces in the south of the Jiujiang River that had not been cleared up and the princes in the south of Daxia.

When Daxia attacked Jiujiang, Chen Han formed the Jiujiang League.

In the south of Jiujiang, that is, in Jiangxi, many forces either joined the Jiujiang League or were neutral, and a small number of forces followed the persuasion of the Daxia envoy and joined the Daxia side.

After Great Xia captured Jiujiang, the forces of the Jiujiang League were hit. At this time, most of them had been cleaned up, but there were still many neutral forces remaining.

After seeing the prosperity of Great Xia, these forces finally let go of their dignity.

Before the new year in the eighth year of the early Taichu period, they all came to Jinling to congratulate Wang Jing, and by the way, they proposed to join the Great Xia.

As for the princes in Guangdong, Guangxi and other places mentioned by Gao Yan, they were all celebrities who had appeared in various dynasties. There was no powerful force in Guangdong and Guangxi, so these people separated one side and built a city to defend themselves.

As far as how ambitious they are, they all have self-knowledge and know that they are not Daxia's opponents.

So before Daxia reached out to Lingnan, they took the initiative to send envoys to pay tribute!It's like Qiantang surrendered to the Central Plains in history.

If Daxia didn't go south, they would live their own lives. If Daxia went south, they would be able to get a good end by virtue of their respect for being ministers and paying tribute.

"Treat these people well, our army is temporarily unable to step into Lingnan, it is not bad to set the righteousness of the monarch and ministers first!"

After Wang Jing listened, he said casually.

There are many special products in Lingnan and other places, especially in Shenzhou World, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places have a large population, the land can be developed, various spiritual minerals, spiritual fruits and medicines, materials for monsters and beasts...

Daxia can choose to do business with them and earn a lot of wealth without sending troops.

Gao Yan responded, and then retreated to his position.

When all kinds of things were reported, Wang Jing stood up and said: "In a few days, it will be the eighth year of Taichu, and the seventh year of Taichu. With the help of all my lovers, I can calm down the southeast, open up Jiujiang and Jiangxia, and expand the country thousands of miles away. ..."

He summed up the events of the first seven years, and praised the officials in the palace.

The few important ministers who were highly praised by him couldn't help being a little excited at this time because of their strong hearts.

No matter how strong they are, they are all Daxia's courtiers, and they have the indelible righteousness of the monarch and ministers in their hearts. As the monarch, Wang Jing, a few words can shake their hearts.

"The eighth year of the early days is coming. I hope that in the new year, you and I will still work together to make Great Xia stronger..."

Wang Jing finally said his best wishes.

The supreme power in the heavenly realm will inevitably appear in the eighth year of the beginning, and the situation in the world will definitely be turbulent by then.

Wang Jing first reminded the officials.

"Your Majesty's teachings must be remembered!"

All the officials in the hall bowed down in unison.

December 27.

It was just past noon, and the originally cold weather was complemented by the bustle and bustle of the streets in Jinling City. The air-conditioning disappeared suddenly, and the whole city became much warmer.

The new year is approaching, and the soldiers of the army, after receiving rewards for victories on the battlefield and rewards for the Chinese New Year, returned home with a large amount of chicken, duck and pork. It can be predicted that they will have a good New Year this year.

Some people, businessmen, and scholars on the street are selling more things during the busy Chinese New Year, and some are buying new year's goods.

On the street where the official post house is located, there are several restaurants that are very lively.

These days, the masters of power and envoys of the princes who live in the post house like to order a pot of wine in the restaurant and collect news while drinking.

What they want to know is not some military secrets, but some ordinary situations in Jinling City and Daxia.

Smart people can see the subtleties and see what they want from these ordinary news.

In the restaurant, two men were drinking and talking by the window.

While talking, one of the men saw a carriage led by two officials into a distant post house. A flag embroidered with toads was planted behind the carriage.

"The princes of Guangdong and Guangxi have come again!"

"The prestige of Great Xia spread far and wide, and princes came to pay tribute tens of thousands of miles away..."

In the restaurant, envoys from princes from Guangdong and Guangxi recognized the forces represented by this flag. The new princes just stopped paying attention after being casually said a few words by these people.

After all, there are too many princes and envoys in Jinling these days, and it is not surprising.

These envoys of the princes, as well as the masters of the forces in Jiangxi, have given up the idea of ​​farewell to Da Xia after personally experiencing the prosperity and strength of Jinling.

They are all thinking about how to join Daxia.

How can I serve as an official in the Great Xia Dynasty and continue to enjoy wealth.Many power lords secretly decided that as long as Lord Xia could confer on them a third-class son or the title of first-class general, they would be willing to give up their soldiers and horses and become citizens of Great Xia.

"Brother, you have been in Jinling for several days and have seen the situation in Daxia with your own eyes. Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

The two people near the window sill listened to the nearby sounds while drinking.

After a while, the handsome young man sitting on the left finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

This handsome young man is Chen Yucheng.

The elder brother he was talking about was the man sitting opposite him, and his identity was Shi Dakai, the Wing King of the Taiping Army.

Shi Dakai doesn't look tall, but his eyes are like cold stars, his breath is like steel, and he has a kind of tenacity not to be moved by foreign objects.

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and didn't answer right away.

He glanced at the streets of Jinling, listening to the smiling voices of the people on the streets, and the laughing boys and girls in the alleys...

"You are right. Great Xia is indeed powerful, and Lord Xia's governance methods are also incomparably ingenious. Jinling can have today, and Ming Lord and virtuous ministers are indispensable! In the future, Great Xia will definitely become the overlord of the south!"

Shi Dakai sighed.

He is not a stubborn old man. If he was really stubborn, he would never have come to Jinling with the Great Xia envoy.I wouldn't talk so much with Chen Yucheng either.

He could see that the south of Dajiang was already Daxia's territory, and the Taiping Army had no hope.

If you want to find a good end for your brothers and sisters in the Taiping Army, the only way is to join Daxia.

Great Xia can allow people to live and work in peace and contentment, marry wives and have children normally, without being exploited. In Shi Dakai's eyes, this is the kingdom of heaven on earth, something that the Taiping Army did not do at the time.

Therefore, Shi Dakai was not unwilling.

Until now, he has not opened his mouth to agree to join him, but out of caution, he just wanted to know more about Wang Jing.

As for the delay in agreeing to surrender for so long, will it lead to a decline in his treatment... Shi Dakai has no worries in this regard.

"Brother said so, did you agree?"

Sensing the tone of the other party, Chen Yucheng asked immediately.

"It's about the future of the brothers and sisters in the Taiping Army. How could I not agree? By the way, you should take all the money and treasures that the emperor promised to reward you and give them to your brothers!"

Shi Dakai said.

Chen Yucheng's face was full of joy, no matter what Shi Dakai said, he would agree.

Shi Dakai agreed to join, then they, a small group of the Taiping Army, finally had some backbone.

Li Kaifang is a veteran of the Great Xia Dynasty, but his ability is limited. As the Great Xia Dynasty grows stronger, his status in the Great Xia Army will continue to decline.

Now he is almost relegated to the second line.

Chen Yucheng's ability and potential are a little higher, but the limit is that of a general in the human realm.More than the top, but more than the bottom, but because of his status as a demoted general, he will not be reused in the short term.

Only Shi Dakai has high potential and extremely strong abilities. If he has the opportunity in the future, he can step into the realm further.

With Shi Dakai's support, the members of the Taiping Army will have support and a future.

The last few days of the seven years in the early days passed quickly.

Dangdangdang!

Accompanied by the sound of Qingyue's bell.The Qingyue bell resounded in all directions, and the entire Jinling seemed to be able to hear it. The city with a radius of hundreds of miles became extremely silent at this moment.

When the bell stopped, fireworks swished into the sky.Fire trees and silver flowers, nothing more than that.

In the evening, the night sky is set off by the fireworks all over the sky as bright as day, and the whole city is celebrating the coming of the New Year.

The eighth year of Taichu has finally arrived.

The first day of the new year.

The gates of the palace were wide open, and groups of guards in golden armor stood up straight inside and outside the palace, and the maids hung red lanterns and ribbons of various colors on some halls of the palace.

The lords of power and envoys of the princes who came to worship, followed the civil and military officials of the Great Xia, filed in and entered the palace.

This trip and this scene are quite like the shadow of the nine heavens opening the palace, and the clothes and crowns of all nations worshiping the crown.

Of course, the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty has surpassed that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in history, but its prestige and reputation are still a little bit worse.The princes who come to worship are not the lords of a country...
