The eighth hundred and twenty second chapter Han monarchs and ministers are happy (1)
Chang'an.
Nearly a month has passed since the army set off for the expedition.
The time is also set to September.
It reaches its peak in mid-autumn.
Countless people have begun to devote themselves to the autumn harvest work.
Countless women and old people, with their children, worked in the fields, harvesting ears of corn, threshing them, and returning them to the warehouse.
But everyone's minds have drifted to the far north, the war at the foot of the Great Wall.
The wife is worried about her husband's safety.
Father, I am concerned about the news of my beloved son.
The children stretched their necks, waiting for their father to return from the battlefield.
In this expedition to the north, Chang'an only mobilized less than 30,000 regular troops.
However, in order to support these armies in fighting northward, more than 100,000 civilians and young men were mobilized for this purpose.
This is only the mobilization efforts in Guanzhong.
Throughout the north, in order to support this campaign, the Han Dynasty court mobilized as many as 300,000 civilians through various levels of political power.
Just to supply the Feihu Army and the Juzhu Army to fight in Yanmen, there were as many as ten thousand civilians on the road from Yanmen to Mayi every day, delivering supplies to the army.
And behind Yanmen, in order to transport supplies to Yanmen Pass.
A civilian transport team composed of 100,000 people worked day and night along the ancient roads and straight roads to deliver carts of supplies to Yanmen Pass, carried on shoulders and by oxen.
In order for the hussar army to have enough supplies.
After the war started, the Han army was transporting supplies day and night on the small roads at the foothills of Wuzhou Mountain.
Countless resources and huge amounts of money disappeared from the account books like water.
From Taiyuan to the north, the grain and grass material warehouses accumulated by the Han Dynasty in the past thirty years were emptied one by one.
Even in Weiyang Palace, countless people have been worried about the changes in the battlefield during these days.
Many people know what it means if this battle fails.
So much supplies and so much savings are invested in the battlefield. Once they are wasted, the consequences will be extremely serious!
But the emperor of Weiyang Palace didn't seem to be worried at all.
You should eat and sleep every day.
He even had a leisurely and elegant time, taking the emperor's eldest son and eldest princess to play in the imperial garden.
The emperor's calmness gave many people a reassurance.
The hearts of many nobles, princes and ministers were relieved.
Since the emperor, who has proven that he is the king of heaven, looks like he is sure of victory, I think the battle ahead should go smoothly.
On this day, the people in Guanzhong, under the organization of governments at all levels, began to prepare to repair roads and transportation.
A knight, symbolizing an urgent military situation, came from the north on horseback.
His young face was full of excitement and passion.
Da da da, da da da, even the sound of the hoofbeats of the war horses is extremely joyful.
Countless people saw this knight.
A large number of people dropped their tools one after another, and countless officials dropped their affairs after hearing the news.
From Xiaoguan to the east, people began to slowly gather under every piece of exposed cloth in Tingli Township and County.
Soon, these places were packed to the brim.
Civil servants, officials and gentry, regardless of class, all stretched their necks, waiting for the messenger from Chang'an to post good or bad news on the dew cloth.
Countless people were uneasy.
Is it another Pingcheng?
Or an unprecedented victory?
No one knows.
…………………………
At this moment, Liu Che was sitting in a side hall of Weiyang Palace, playing Go with Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang, who came to Chang'an for a routine court invitation in accordance with the imperial edict.
Since its birth, Go has been widely welcomed by the aristocratic class.
As an emperor, Liu Che would certainly know a little bit about it.
But the chess skills are extremely bad.
He is absolutely no match for Liu Xi.
If he hadn't been the emperor, Liu Xi would have killed him and left him alone.
But unfortunately, Liu Che is the emperor.
Moreover, his father once did a terrible thing: when he couldn't win at chess and lost face, he would lift up the chessboard and smash his opponent to death.
Therefore, Liu Xi was very timid and did not dare to "accompany chess" to the emperor without changing his moves.
For this reason, he had to lower his chess skills by N levels, from a gold player to a human-machine player.
Even so, he still had to think of ways to 'leave chess pieces' for the emperor, and deliberately set up some routines so that the emperor could naturally capture some of his chess pieces.
This is a test of Liu Xi's wisdom and prediction.
Liu Che, on the other hand, held the chess pieces easily and played them casually.
Of course he knew that Liu Xi was trying to curry favor with him.
But it doesn't matter.
Emperor, sometimes it is necessary to pretend to be confused appropriately.
Moreover, from these few hand-to-hand talks with Uncle Wang, whom he had never met before, Liu Che could tell that his uncle Wang's mind and ability were above the standard.
He is a qualified king.
You can entrust him with some big things.
At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Dao ran in almost stumbling, knelt down and said: "Emergency military situation on the front line!"
"Oh..." Liu Che barely suppressed the excitement and anxiety in his heart, pretending to be like "I knew it a long time ago", and said: "But the sons and daughters have defeated the northern captives?"
While talking like this, Liu Che was still recalling the allusions to Xie An that he had read.
Liu Che naturally knew that he had to learn this kind of pretense to gain reputation!
Upon hearing this, Wang Dao raised his head and worshiped with an expression of admiration: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!"
"Tell me, what's going on in the battle ahead?" Liu Che sat down again with a calm expression and said to Liu Xi opposite him: "Uncle Wang, let's continue playing chess..."
But the hand he held the chess pieces betrayed him deeply - he could hardly hold the chess pieces.
Fortunately, at this moment, in front of this bombshell, no one can observe carefully.
Many of the attendants and eunuchs all looked like - Your Majesty is so powerful, with stars of admiration in their eyes.
Everyone just feels that we are so lucky to have such an emperor sitting in charge!
Wang Dao knelt on the ground, took out the urgent military intelligence report he had just received, spread it out, and read: "I am the General of the Hussars, and I am the Colonel of the Hu Ben Guards School. I am the Commander of the Southern Army, and the Commander of the Southern Army, Wu, etc., paused and paid homage to Your Majesty: Lai
The gods of Sheji rely on your Majesty's power, and the ministers and others formed an array outside the Wuzhou Great Wall to fight against the Northern Captive King Zhelan and defeat him!"
Wang Dao looked at the words in the report and said in a trembling voice: "The formation killed 4,182 people below the Crown Prince, and captured 3,217 thieves below King Zhelan.
. Seven thousand one hundred and twenty-one war horses were captured, as well as the heads of northern captives, which were piled up like mountains, and one of Jizhu’s arms has been broken off!”
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Before Wang Dao finished speaking, countless enthusiastic attendants and officials inside and outside the hall knelt down and shouted loudly.
It has been fifty-six years since Pingcheng.
It has been eighteen years since the fall of Chaonase.
The Han Dynasty has been fighting for four generations. The emperor and his ministers endured humiliation and heavy burdens.
The frontier soldiers and civilians have paid countless sacrifices and paid countless prices.
From the Great Wall to the north, to Guanzhong, to Chang'an, and to the Weiyang Palace.
How many brothers, relatives and friends are buried on the battlefields of the war with the Huns, and how many ancestors died heroically in the fight against the invading Huns cavalry!
For fifty-six years, hatred towards the Huns, like lava in a volcano, flowed restlessly in both the Han court and the public.
Today, finally, the great revenge is avenged! Feel proud and proud!
How can this not make people’s hearts beat wildly? How can this not make people extremely excited?
This emotion, this surging emotion, instantly transformed into the simplest patriotism and nationalism.
Many people held their heads, crying and laughing.
Cry for the ancestors. Smile for today’s great victory!
Wang Dao, however, continued to read: "I and others now lead an army to stop the Xiongnu Baiyang. Loufan and other 30,000 people are riding in the south of Wuzhou. The former general's troops intercepted them in the north of Mayi. The thieves are like turtles in a urn.
The period of defeat is just around the corner!"
"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to wait for the good news. I will present the Righteous King of the Northern Capsules in front of His Majesty's steps!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Even Liu Xi couldn't bear it any longer. He bowed his head respectfully, knelt in front of Liu Che, and said: "His Majesty Fu Wei is wise and strategizing. As a holy king, he rules the world.
The captives threw themselves into a trap, I would like to congratulate the world!"
Liu Che was also extremely excited.
Zhelan Tribe!!!
As an emperor, he had seen this notorious and cruel enemy from countless files in Shiqu Pavilion.
Today, this great enemy who has massacred and ravaged countless counties in the past and was responsible for the blood feud of countless Han soldiers and civilians has been completely defeated in front of the Han army like a chicken or a dog!
Liu Che has already seen that the entire grassland and the entire country of Northeast Asia will be changed by this war.
The defeat of Zhelan heralded the decline of the Xiongnu hegemony.
Northeast Asia, the Han Dynasty, this ancient empire, this former center of the world, the Great Kingdom, will finally return to where it should be.
I hope to see you reigning over the world in my lifetime!
Liu Che thought of a comic he had read a long time ago and felt his eyes moistened.
But as the emperor, he knew that he needed to calm down.
Everyone can be excited, excited, and dance.
But not the emperor.
The emperor needs to be calm at all times so that he can think about strategy from a more objective perspective.
Therefore, he forcibly suppressed his urge to run naked to celebrate, waved it lightly with an almost trembling hand, and said: "This is all the soldiers' lives, the ancestors have blessed us, and the country has spirit!"
"Besides, the main force of the Beibei is still there. I still wait for the soldiers to wipe out all the invading enemies, and then I can have a drink with Uncle Wang!"
But the next moment, Liu Che's words deeply betrayed his heart: "Immediately send someone to report this good news to the two empress dowagers of the East Palace. In addition, I will gather all the ministers. I will host a banquet in the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace tonight.
Together with the ministers and princes, we celebrate the great victory of the soldiers at the front!"
The two empress dowagers of the East Palace have been uneasy since the army went out for battle.
After all, such a battle, even for the current Han Dynasty court, can almost be regarded as a battle in which the fate of the country is staked.
Once defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But they couldn't defeat the emperor Liu Che, and they had no way to stop Liu Che's decision.
Therefore, I had no choice but to follow Empress Dowager Bo's example during the Henan campaign. She prayed to various gods and goddesses in the palace every day, praying for the gods' blessings and the victory of the army.
Now, with this good news coming, it is time for the two Queen Mothers to be happy and happy.
"I will order the Yamen to report this success and announce it to the world so that everyone in the world will know it!" Liu Che then ordered.
Of course, such a great victory must be publicized and publicized.
To boost the morale and morale of the people.
At the same time, through this great victory, I can tell the world that I am the right man who has moved from one victory to another.
This is important!
In China, since ancient times, no force or political group has dared to have any crooked ideas during the rise of a dynasty.
Not to mention the courage to confront the central government!
For Liu Che, the greater significance of this victory lies in politics.
With this great victory, his authority and prestige will rise to a higher level.
Therefore, he was able to loosen more constraints and seals and make some bolder reforms.
In addition, with this great victory, centralization of power will be further strengthened, and the country's credibility and prestige will be further rooted in the hearts of the people.
Moreover, after this battle, a new group of military nobles will be born.
Under the leadership of Liu Che, they achieved military merit and glory, and were canonized for Liu Che.
They are natural supporters and crazy fans of Liu Che.
Their joining will greatly strengthen Liu Che's administrative capabilities and policy implementation efforts.
The so-called government decree will never happen if it does not leave Weiyang Palace.
What's more important is that after this battle, Liu Che has no doubt that he will become a ruler comparable to the three kings and the five emperors.
Truly become the emperor who speaks the constitution of heaven and regards the law of the world as his word.
This is why, in all dynasties, any Chinese emperor who has some potential and some consciousness will inevitably expand externally.
the reason is simple.
As long as he wins the battle, the emperor will make a lot of money, get rid of the shackles of bureaucrats and powerful people, and really do what he wants to do.
Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, a country wants to solve its internal and external problems?
The best shortcut is war.
Winning the war, not only transferring the contradictions and burdens to others to take the blame, can also boost the morale of the people and make all classes voluntarily or forced to unite under the central government.
Just like the Nazis in World War II. In the early days, the whole of Germany was crazy about the Nazis.
It can even be said that no one is not a supporter of the Nazis - even the Jews.
At this moment, Liu Che, who had just unlocked the seal, issued his order with great ambition: "Control the imperial edict, the internal history, and Taichang, and order them to cast five million baht in gold to reward the people who participated in the war!"
"No!" All the ministers bowed their heads.
Under such a glorious victory, all political forces, all ideological factions, and all internal mountains have surrendered and prostrated themselves at Liu Che's feet.
Victory is indeed the best formula that can solve all problems, conflicts and disputes.
In the face of victory, all the emperor's orders will be like the sound of nature.
Only Liu Che knew what his edict meant.
This is the precursor and test of the gold standard.
A new financial era, along with this great victory, this sacred war, slowly kicked off. (To be continued.) xh:.218.204.13
