The World of Yellow Sky

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty, and many places are very similar to the Qin Dynasty, including the system.

However, the system of three governments and six ministries implemented by the Ming Dynasty established by Xu An, as well as the military system implemented, and various systems are brand new systems.

And practice has also proved that according to that system, the country can still function, or even function better.

Liu Xie stood in front of the gate of Ning'an Hall and turned to look behind him.

Before he knew it, he had climbed the long stairs and walked all the way to the front of the hall.

Holding the sword at his waist and feeling the icy cold in his hand, Liu Xie felt a little peace in his heart

Looking down at the soldiers on both sides of the steps wearing Habayashi guard armor, Liu Xie felt a little relieved.

Only in this way every day can Liu Xie feel a sense of security.

Although he agreed to change the law and ended up in person, no one knew that he was also afraid.

He was afraid of another palace change, he was afraid of the failure of the reform, and he was afraid of becoming a sinner who would destroy the Han Dynasty.

Even, not long ago, he had the idea of ​​sending an assassin to assassinate Liu Bian.

This idea was growing crazily in his mind.

Sometimes Liu Xie could even hear whispers in his ears, the voice was very similar to his, and it kept echoing in his ears, wanting him to kill Liu Bian.

Tell him about various methods, poisoning, ambush, slow assassination...

Without anyone noticing, absolutely no one will find out.

As long as Liu Bian is killed, the reform can be carried out more smoothly.

As long as Liu Bian is killed, he will be the most orthodox heir to the throne.

As long as Liu Bian is killed, even if the family below wants to rebel, there is no excuse.

Those ministers in the court could not convince him at all.

He still remembers the indifferent eyes of those ministers in the palace when he was helped down from the throne, and those eyes were the same as those when he carried out the reform.

Looking at the furnishings in Ning'an Hall, Liu Xie suppressed the churning killing intent in his heart.

Not only did he want to kill Liu Bian, he also wanted to kill those scumbags who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but only knew how to profit for themselves.

The Ning'an Hall is covered with black silk and satin, which blocks the sunlight outside the hall and prevents the sunlight from entering. This is Liu Xie's bedroom.

I don't know when it started, he no longer likes the sun, he prefers to be in the dark than the light.

Walking into Ning'an Hall and into the darkness, Liu Xie's expression relaxed a lot.

The hall was completely empty, and a few dim palace lanterns were emitting a pale yellow light.

The more the reform was carried out, the more difficult Liu Xie felt the reform.

The suggestion put forward by Liu Chong and Wang Yun is that if the front line is unfavorable, they can retreat to Yangzhou, relying on the Huai River and the Yangtze River as barriers, relying on the navy of Yang and Jingzhou, and relying on natural dangers to block the attack of the Ming army.

Liu Xie couldn't bear it, and couldn't accept it anyway. He vetoed this proposal.

He is the emperor of a big man, how can he be timid! ?

Liu Chong said in the secret report sent by the embroidered messenger that the court said it was true or false.

The Ming army's invasion was fake, but Ming Ting is indeed shrinking its defenses and accumulating strength.

Some time ago, Ming Ting's newspapers were still promoting the Quartet's war, but recently they changed their direction and began to promote the unification.

The newspapers were constantly denouncing the aristocratic families, and they were also constantly stating the crimes committed by the Han Dynasty. Everything was pointed at the Southern Expedition.

The battle of the Ming army in the north has been settled, and the Ming court has set up the Anbei Protectorate in the northwest of the Northern Border Province. The tribal leaders such as Ding Ling and Huji are appointed to official positions according to the system under the Western Region Protectorate, and receive the official seal of the Ming Dynasty. .

The war in the north has settled down, the borders of the Ming Court have been connected together, and the borders of the Anbei Protectorate and Anxi Protectorate have been connected.

Ming Ting's cavalry is invincible across the northern border.

Lu Bu has led the Xiaoqi Battalion back to Jizhou.

All the way south, Lu Bu received an extremely warm welcome.

The reason why he was able to finish his work and pacify Mobei in one fell swoop was indeed because of the special relationship between the two Xianbeis in the Middle East, which allowed Lu Bu to encounter this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In the past, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf as a Xu, and Dou Xian took the initiative to do his best. They both temporarily eliminated the threat from the north. The difficulty was indeed greater than that of Lu Bu.

But no matter what, in the final result, Lu Bu's achievements and achievements are indeed more prominent than Huo Qubing and Dou Xian.

If the battle of Rao Leshui was due to Lu Bu's luck, then the battle of Beiding Jiankun was a real and tough battle.

Relying on the cavalry of the Three Thousand Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Lu Bu deterred Dingling and Hugan, and then defeated King Jiankun, defeating the Jiankun army in one fell swoop, and slaughtered the entire Jiankun tribe.

Seal the wolf to live in Xu, Zen in Guyan, drink horse Hanhai, Le Shi Yanran.

It can be called the highest honor of a warrior, and these things have been successfully reproduced by Lu Bu.

Even Lu Bu accomplished a deed that no one in history has accomplished.

After Rao Leshui defeated Xianbei, Lu Bu led his army to the top of Beishan (Daxianbei Mountain), and ordered the artisans accompanying the army to collect twelve large stones from Beishan, engrave twelve volumes of Taiping scriptures, and stand on the top of Beishan. A stele is built to commemorate the dead soldiers of the Ming army who died in Rao Leshui.

After returning to the south, Lu Bu jumped from a fourth-rank general conquering the north to a second-rank general Wei because of his contribution to the northern settlement of the wilderness. His official position was equal to that of Gong Du.

Not only that, Lu Bu also became the first general to be named a marquis after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Bu was proclaimed a champion by Xu An.

The war in the Western Regions seemed to be coming to an end. The newspaper stated that the army defeated the main force of the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions, captured the capital of the Dawan Kingdom, captured and killed the leader of the Dawan Kingdom, and repelled the reinforcements from the Guishuang Empire.

The war will soon be completely over, and the Ming army has won a complete victory.

Liu Xie couldn't tell the truth about these things, but most of the news that could be published in the newspapers was true news. After all, the official newspapers issued by the Ming Court have not reported false news so far.

The Ming army's battles against Yilou and Woju in the east were quite satisfactory. After the Ming army invaded the middle schools of Yilou and Woju, they have been fighting steadily.

The main force was actually the armies of Fuyu and Goguryeo, and there were very few real Ming armies.

The Ming army is indeed shrinking in an all-round way, and is preparing for the Southern Expedition.

That day, Liu Chong's dangerous words in the court did not want to become a prophecy...

Chapter 829 Another Path

The Han court was full of uproar because of the reform, but the Ming court changed its policy because of financial problems and began to shrink in an all-round way.

The strange peace between the two courts of Han and Ming is still maintained, but both sides are very clear that once the other party regains its strength, it will definitely destroy the other party at all costs.

The king's industry is not partial, and the world must be unified.

There is only one China in the world, and there can only be one China.

The First World War that will determine the orthodoxy of China is brewing.

It's not just that Liu Xie is unwilling to live in a corner, Xu An is also unwilling to let Hanting continue to develop.

There are only two outcomes of reform, one is success and the other is failure.

To be successful is to become stronger, to be rich and powerful, and to rejuvenate the destiny.

If you fail, you will fall into the abyss, step into purgatory, and perish forever.

Without the Eagle Wolf Guard's intelligence network, Xu An didn't know what was going on inside the Han Ting.

But Xu An knew very well that at a critical moment, the enemy should not be given any chance.

As long as the Hanting has a [-]% chance of succeeding in the reform, it should not be given a chance.

Therefore, Xu An ordered a truce from all sides and a comprehensive contraction, and ordered Jia Xu to strike and truce.

Although Wei Ting was destroyed, it left enough food and grass in Jizhou and Qingzhou, enough to support a large-scale southern expedition of the Ming army.

The reform of the Han court has been implemented for a year, and the eagle wolf guard has not been idle during this year, and has been constantly infiltrating the Han court.

Although the strength of the Eagle Wolf Guard in Hanting has not yet returned to its original level, the Eagle Wolf Guard has still made some achievements. After all, the Eagle Wolf Guard is bigger than the Embroidered Emissary.

Moreover, the Eagle Wolf Guard established under the guidance of Xu An adopts scientific methods to train and train new recruits. The average quality of the Eagle Wolf Guard Tiqi has actually far surpassed that of the Embroidered Emissary.

The previous defeat was due to underestimating the enemy, but this time the Eagle Wolf Guards were far more cautious than before, and because of this, the Eagle Wolf Guards' infiltration was limited to the three border states of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jingzhou.

Xu An no longer knew nothing about Han Ting like a blind man like the previous year.

The intelligence network of Yuzhou Yingwei has not yet been rebuilt, and there are only two or three single lines left, and there will be a long period of time between each delivery of information.

After all, the center of the Han court is now in Yuzhou, and the Yuzhou Embroidered Clothes Emissary is now standing on the stage again through reforms.

The Embroidered Cloth Messenger's control over Yuzhou was the highest among all the prefectures. Under his supervision, it was actually not easy for the Eagle Guard to deliver one or two pieces of information every few months.

And among the few messages delivered, there are a few particularly important ones.

In the government office of Ye City, Xu Anduan sat in the first seat, frowning, looking at the documents in his hand.

Xu You and Jia Xu were sitting on either side, one on the left and the other on the right, and they were also reviewing the documents carefully.

Zhang Ji, who was wearing a purple eagle suit, stood in the hall and bowed slightly, waiting for Xu An's inquiry.

What Xu An, Jia Xu, and Xu You held in their hands was the news that the Eagle Wolf Guard tried their best to send from Yuzhou. Like the last time, it took several months before it was finally delivered to Jizhou, but this was enough.

"Nine-rank official law?"

Xu An put down the document in his hand, he just glanced at it briefly, and understood the content of the reform.

The Nine-rank Official Personnel Law is actually the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system. The implementation of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system did solve the problem of lack of standards in the selection of officials under the procuratorate system, and clarified the administration of officials at that time.

On the other hand, it also eased the tension between imperial power and aristocratic families to a certain extent.

It's just that Liu Xie actually used the Ninth Rank Official Law as a bargaining chip in exchange for the support of the aristocratic family.

Liu Xie's move will undoubtedly accelerate the change of the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng System.

The Jiupin Zhongzheng System will gradually complete the transformation into a powerful family, and eventually become an election tool for the powerful and noble families.

The establishment of the clan system will make Jiupin Zhongzheng a political ornament.

Zhongzheng rank is only based on blood lineage, the higher the family rank is, the higher rank is. At this time, it is enough to distinguish between high and low, Zhongzheng rank is just a routine.

As a result, the situation that the upper class has no poor family and the lower class has no noble family; the public has the public, and the Qing family has the noble.

The nine-rank Zhongzheng system did have a positive impact in the early stage, but after the corruption later, it made the aristocratic family aristocratic, political aristocratization, and the channel for the bottom to rise was directly cut in half.

The decline of the Jin Dynasty is precisely because of the corrupt and incompetent Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

"Exchange of interests, political compromise..."

Scanning the documents on the table, Xu An already understood what happened in the Han court.

"Drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Just looking at the strength on paper, the Han army is now stronger.

After Qu Yi's original more than 5 soldiers were streamlined and eliminated, only 6000 remained, and the rest of the soldiers were arranged to enter the garrison.

The Qingzhou Han army has more than 18 people, the Yanzhou Han army has more than [-] people, and the Jingzhou Han army has more than [-] people, a total of [-] people.

18 troops, this is already a rather terrifying number. When Sun Jian was there, the Han army was only 20 troops at its peak. Today's Han army seems to have returned to its former heyday.

However, this is just data on paper.

If the outcome of the war can be determined by the data on paper, then the coaches of the two sides can directly compare the data with the paper, and then decide whether to win or lose.

The data on the paper is ultimately floating on the paper.

Talking about war on paper finally feels shallow, knowing that this matter must be bowed.

Xu An turned around and retrieved the situation map hanging in the hall.

On the banks of the Yellow River, although the Han army failed in the Northern Expedition and began to fully shrink its forces, the Ming army has maintained a considerable force under Xu An's order, and has been guarding against possible raids.

Even though he had the advantage, Xu An still did not relax.

Now the main force of the Ming army has been concentrated in Jizhou, which is Yecheng.

The fourth battalion of military soldiers, the fourth battalion of elite soldiers, and the fallen camp, the yellow angels, a total of [-] infantry, are all in the suburbs of Yecheng and are being treated seriously.

The Xiaoqi Battalion, Xiliang Battalion, Shanggu Battalion, and Bingzhou Battalion, with a total of more than [-] cavalry troops, were also stationed along the north bank of the Yellow River, guarding the Han army on the south bank.

There are a total of 8000 infantry and cavalry, which is much smaller than the Han army in Yanzhou

The Wuxiang camp had already evacuated from the Western Regions at this time, and had arrived in Chang'an at this time, and was rushing from Chang'an to Yecheng.

The war in the Western Regions was basically over, and three-quarters of the territory of Dawan Kingdom was brought into the sphere of influence of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The other quarter was occupied by the Guishuang Empire. With the support of the Guishuang Empire, the prince of Dawan ascended to the throne and re-established the Dawan Kingdom.

Guo Tai abolished the name of the country of Dawan, moved the people of Dawan to the east to the interior of the Western Regions Protectorate, and moved west to the people of the countries of the Western Regions to Dawan.
