Chapter 2114 The Great Zhou is destroyed and the world is unified
Yu Wenchun sighed: "The emperor once said that it was a pity that Yang Chudao could not be obtained and used. If time passes, if Bole is obtained, Qianlima will become the enemy of the Zhou Dynasty. I was still dismissive at that time, but today I know that this statement is true.
.”
Yang Su immediately raised his hand to the east and said: "My Emperor is a wise and mighty warrior, known to the world. He has many talents under his command, and Yang is just a talented person. Your Majesty leads an army and has made great achievements in battle. Even if
Even among the great Han people, everyone admires me. Now that things have come to this, why not abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side? In the future, we can open up new territories and make new achievements."
Yu Wenchun laughed three times: "I am a minister of the Great Zhou in life, and a ghost of the Great Zhou in death. I still have to let the world know that there are still loyal people in the Great Zhou who are willing to die for it. Otherwise, the world will laugh at me.
No one cares about the Zhou Dynasty?! No need to say more, just come over here!"
Yang Su shook his head.
Now that things have come to this, we can only fulfill him.
Yang Su immediately waved his hand, and the Han army soldiers rushed forward, and Yu Wenchun soon disappeared.
Yang Su looked at the scene in front of him silently.
When I met Yu Wenchun in Chang'an, they only exchanged a few simple greetings. Although Yang Su had already gained a reputation at that time, the imperial court had the final say on how to appoint a man in white clothes, and even Yu Wenchun was qualified to make the decision.
Judgment and decision-making, and Yu Wenchun was already a high-ranking member of the party. Many descendants of the aristocratic family complimented him one after another, just hoping to win a compliment from King Chen when deciding on the product.
Now everything has been turned upside down.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty has also disappeared.
Even Yang Su at that time did not expect that many years later, he would actually see off the Northern Zhou dynasty.
With the death of Yu Wenchun, all the forces in the world that could represent the Northern Zhou royal family perished, and the Yuwen family withdrew from the stage of history. As for Dugu Yongye, the only one who still carried the banner of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Su felt that it was not difficult to know what he would do.
What a choice.
Now that things have come to this, is there any other way to go?
Li Xun walked over the corpses on the ground.
"It's over." He sighed.
Having just seen Yu Wenchun's body, even this general, who had experienced many twists and turns and hardships, felt uneasy.
"No, it's a new journey that has begun again." Yang Su said with a smile, "The general's sword is still young, so we can't end it lightly!"
Li Xun was startled for a moment, then laughed.
Yes, there is still a long way to go!
——————————————-
After the fall of Yecheng, Dugu Yongye took the initiative to contact Youzhou, made a request for surrender to the Han, and surrendered with Fanyang County and the remaining tens of thousands of Northern Zhou troops.
This is to be expected.
Originally, his Dugu surname was only obtained because his mother remarried. If he had not been really capable, he would have been squeezed out of his circle by the Xianbei people. After all, in the eyes of the Xianbei people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Han people were not noble enough.
To the extent that they can shout and drink above their heads, the best everyone can do is accept the status quo of living together as equals.
Although the Xianbei people are no longer like rats crossing the street, with everyone shouting and beating them, there is obviously no point in repeatedly emphasizing that they are Xianbei people. Dugu Yongye decisively started from this direction and explained it.
The general meaning is that when I was young, I remarried with my mother and became a Xianbei. This was not something I could decide, nor was it voluntary. Now the Han Dynasty can replace the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Han people can replace the Xianbei people and become the masters of the world. As a descendant of the Han people,
He was also very happy, and realized his previous mistakes, and was willing to serve the big man.
No matter how much of it is sincere or how much of it is false, at this point, Dugu Yongye has no choice. The Xianbei people will not obey his orders, and the Han people will not obey his instructions as a nominally Xianbei person.
, with the demise of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his original position in the cracks naturally became more and more embarrassing. It was obviously not very realistic to want to hide in the mountains or break out into the grasslands and then dominate.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to surrender obediently to the big man.
At least Li Xingchen did not express his intention to kill all the surrendered ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. And as Dugu Yong took the initiative to lay down his weapons, it naturally meant that the last resistance force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would surrender at any time.
In name and in reality, it has become an out-and-out former dynasty.
The news about Jin Yang and Fan Yang came back and forth, and Yecheng people naturally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this ending was expected, it was not easy to get to this point. The closer to the end, the more everyone became more and more worried.
I was afraid that something would go wrong. Now it's fine, everything is fine.
As the rival of the Han Dynasty for many years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was eliminated. Of course, it was necessary to celebrate vigorously, and even to offer sacrifices to the sky to thank God for the blessing that allowed the Han Dynasty to achieve the unification of the world today.
But of course such a sacrifice would not be held in Yecheng.
Yecheng was the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, not the capital of the Han Dynasty.
In the enemy's capital, celebrations can be held - Li Xinchen had already held it when he conquered Yecheng - but sacrifices cannot be held, otherwise who would be offering sacrifices? The Han should go to the capital of the Han to offer sacrifices to the sky of the Han
There are also the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, the heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.
The imperial court also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show the world that Luoyang was about to replace Jiankang Mansion as the new capital of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, the status of Jiankang Prefecture will not be greatly weakened. According to the plan of the Han Dynasty, it has been decided to establish Jiankang Prefecture as the southern capital, and Chang'an on the west side will naturally be the western capital, thus indicating that the Han Dynasty will have two directions to the south and west in the future.
main direction of expansion.
Of course, in addition to these two directions, the Han Dynasty is also coveting the northern grasslands and Liaodong, so a northern capital also needs to be considered. After all, this is not the first time that the multi-capital system has been established. Facts have proved that, at least in the feudal dynasty system, it will not
In this era that is easily changed, it is still very necessary to be able to use this as a base to expand outwards and to retreat from a multi-city system that can rely on one side to defend one side.
Historically, all dynasties since the Sui Dynasty have implemented a multi-capital system. Even in the Ming Dynasty, there were two sets of leadership groups.
However, there is still debate over where the northern capital should be chosen. Some people support choosing Yecheng. In any case, Yecheng is also the largest city north of the river. However, opponents naturally point out that Yecheng is actually too close to the city.
South, it is impossible to support the expansion of the imperial court to the east and north.
Moreover, officials in the south are not inclined to choose Yecheng, especially because they do not want to see another Yecheng pop up in the north after the great cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, thus forming a three-legged alliance with Chang'an and Luoyang.
