After Tong Derong wrote down the order, he did not leave immediately, but hesitated to speak.
Li Jiang asked: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"The leader...the leader is the king, and I will assist you..."
Li Jiang interrupted him and said: "I have my own opinions. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Go and give the order."
Tong Derong left worriedly.
The finishing work of the Huaihe East Front Battle lasted for five days.
Clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, and most importantly, dispose of the corpses of the two parties.
The corpses of the Ming army are easy to find, just find a site to build a cemetery.
It is difficult for the Yuan army to deal with it, but it must not be thrown into the Huaihe River. That will cause a plague and will be detrimental to the future Mingjiao rule. Logically speaking, it should be buried, but it will take more time to dig the hole.
At this time, General Suqian Yuan made a useful suggestion: According to the custom of the Mongolian people, the poor are buried in the wild, and only the rich are buried in the ground. However, most of the soldiers are poor, so just practice wild burial, that is, throw them into the wild.
Regardless of feeding animals. However, the Huaihe Plain is not a grassland, and Han people will soon come to plant crops, which is not advisable. Therefore, the last custom is very important, cremation.
Cremation is generally used for lamas and those who died abnormally. Yuan Bing's death in battle can certainly be regarded as abnormal death, so cremation does not violate the sympathy of the chief minister.
Li Jiang raised his eyebrows, looked at the surrendered general who was bowing and talking, and said in his heart: Boy, you have a future, you can solve my dilemma of benevolence and righteousness, good!
So, fireworks lingered next to the Huaihe River for two days, and the sintered ashes were scattered into the fields to make a final contribution to fertilize the fields.
Li Jiang personally presided over the ceremony of the heroes entering the cemetery and the Yuan army's soul-calling ceremony.
He was a Taoist priest who was just right, and of course no one dared to compete with him, allowing him to successfully win the hearts of the Ming and Yuan armies.
Due to delays in the two ceremonies, he became the last person from the Military Aircraft Department to return to Huai'an.
At this time, Huai'an was filled with joy. From the military planes down to the commanders, everyone knew that the leader of the cult was proclaimed king. Now that he is crowned king, will he be far away from being crowned emperor in the future? Our Ming Cult has gone from being a rat crossing the street that everyone yelled at, to finally being able to do so.
Sit high and proud!
Li Jiang felt the joy of the whole city and walked into the temporary military aircraft office.
As soon as he entered the check-in room, Wei Yixiao came up to him and said with a smile: "Li Shoufu, congratulations on your promotion to prime minister!"
Li Jiang waved his hand and said casually: "You haven't even written your eight characters yet, what are you talking about as Prime Minister?"
"Why not? I heard from Brother Yin that the leader has already agreed." Wei Yixiao retorted.
Li Jiang said angrily: "How can it be that simple? After becoming king, where will the capital be located? Should the palace be repaired? It can't be in this small city of Huai'an, right?"
"Well, you have a point, kid." Wei Yixiao understood and sat back awkwardly.
Li Jiang and Yang Xiao looked at each other and smiled.
The next day, everyone from the military aircraft department gathered to discuss the matter of becoming king.
There is no difference in the meaning of the title of king. If the king of Mingjiao is not called "Ming Wang", what is his name?
Let’s discuss where to locate the royal capital next?
Yin Tianzheng proposed: The Huaihe Army of the Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed, and the Ming army can take back Jinling. Jinling has a royal spirit and can be the royal capital.
Fan Yao disagreed, saying that Chang'an was the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties and should be built here.
The two of them argued endlessly in order to build the capital on the land they had laid.
Yang Xiao saw Li Jiang smiling and saying nothing, so he interrupted: "Listen to the chief minister's opinion."
The two had no choice but to stop arguing and look at Li Jiang.
Li Jiangdao: "Our biggest enemy, Meng Yuan, has not been eliminated yet. It is not the time to put the swords and guns in Nanshan into storage. Therefore, we have to be on the front line to better command the battle. What I mean is to set up a temporary royal capital first, and wait for
Defeat Meng Yuan and then decide Kyoto according to the situation in the world, and achieve the goal in one step."
The three nodded in agreement.
Li Jiang continued: "Based on the current situation, the focus of our future struggle with the Mongolian Yuan will be in the north, so the south is not suitable. Shaanxi is too far away, and it is even less suitable. There is no canal there, and food supply is a big problem."
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up and he said: "Henan, Luoyang!"
"Yes, Luoyang is also the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties and meets the standards of an emperor." Li Jiang confirmed Yang Xiao's proposal.
The Military Aircraft Division reached a consensus.
On December 18th, the Military Aircraft Department issued several military orders one after another.
Tiao Chang Yuchun joined the Guards and served as deputy commander of the Lei Army. He led 100,000 Guards southward, crossed the Yangtze River to seize Jinling, and occupied the northern part of Jiangjianxing Province (that is, Jiangsu Province);
Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He were transferred to the Eastern Army and served as deputy commanders. They led the main force of 200,000 Eastern Army to act together with the central army.
He transferred Deng Yu to the central theater and served as deputy governor, and cooperated with Yan Yuan, the commander of the Chinese army, to lead troops to regain Huguang.
Fu Youde was transferred to Xu Shouhui's army as deputy commander, and he cooperated with Xu Shouhui to eliminate the remaining enemies in Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
Xin Ran, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, was ordered to lead the southern theater and launch an all-out counterattack to capture Fujian and Guangxi.
Wu Jincao, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, was ordered to wait for an opportunity to attack Sichuan.
On December 20, the Mingjiao Center set off for Henan.
On the way to the north, there were no more Yuan soldiers, and the Mingjiao took them all the way.
It is a pity that Mingjiao does not have so many civil servants to govern for the time being. Basically, those who opened the city gates and were Han officials were kept in office. Those who resisted broke up the city and left a hundred-man army to implement military control.
During the Spring Festival of the 16th year of Zhizheng year, Mingjiao celebrated it on the road.
At the end of January of the 16th year, the Mingjiao center arrived in Luoyang.
On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raised its head and Ming religion spread all over the world. Zhang Wuji called him "King Ming" and built the temporary royal capital in Luoyang. For all lands under the rule of King Ming, the establishment of karili gold in various places was temporarily cancelled, and the agricultural tax was 1 in 30. The laws of the Yuan Dynasty were abolished, and local governments were temporarily
According to the Song Dynasty law, all ethnic groups are equal. There is no distinction between Han people, Southerners, Meng people, and people with colored eyes. They are all called Ming people.
After the news spread, the world was in a state of excitement.
While people were cheering and running around telling each other, the atmosphere in the Luoyang Military Aircraft Department conference hall was cold.
There are two waves of people faintly confronting each other. One wave is headed by Li Jiang and includes Fan Yao, Yang Xiao, and Leng Qian. The other wave of people is headed by Yin Tianzheng, and his supporter is Xie Xun.
There is another person sitting far away from each other, he is Wei Yixiao.
Li Jiang broke the silence with a cough and said: "Since none of us can convince anyone, I think we should follow the principles of the Military Aircraft Department and vote! We, the minority, obey the majority."
Yin Tianzheng snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "No need! You are obviously outnumbered and bullying us two old and blind people."
"Oh, how could the Eagle King think so? We are just discussing the matter!" Li Jiang said in conclusion.
"Hmph! What are you talking about? Li Jiang, I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to hide your scheming so deeply. You had laid out the plan in the main forum a few years ago. Now, you occupy a large number of people, why don't you want to
Whatever happens, so be it!" Yin Tianzheng angrily yelled again.
Before Li Jiang could say anything, Yang Xiao spoke up, "Brother Yin, Brother Xie, as the saying goes, one person is trying to gain the shortcomings of others, and everyone is planning to take advantage of them. This system is not designed by the Prime Minister for himself, but for the good of our Mingjiao."
Xie Xun said angrily: "You all colluded."
Yin Tianzheng became even more angry. He pointed at Li Jiang and the others one by one and said, "The four of you are so ambitious that you just want to evade the leader. No need to say more, Lion King, let's go!"
After that, he angrily walked away, followed closely by Xie Xun.
Li Jiang turned to the little transparent Tong Derong behind him and said: "Remember, the Military Aircraft Department passed the Charter of Rights with four votes in favor, two votes against, and one abstention."
Chapter completed!
