This is an edict to confer a king. In the entire Han Dynasty, in addition to clan members, there were also kings with different surnames at the beginning of the dynasty. This sudden conferment of Xiaojiang and Beihai King was, needless to say, arranged by the He family.
Huangmen said:
"This word king...the Queen Mother said that it requires the support of all ministers. Now that the court is controlled by Dong Zhuo, she can only think of this solution."
Xiao Jiang smiled dryly, "One-word king". Even at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan had divided the world. They were all called one-word kings. They were the real kings who sealed borders and split the land.
This two-character king was already a big deal for a foreign minister like him. He nodded and said:
"You rest for a while while I think about how to deal with this matter. It's too late to send troops. Even if my army reaches Luoyang, we will not dare to fight because the emperor is restricted by others."
Let Xiao Huangmen go to rest, Xiao Jiang said thoughtfully:
"Dong Zhuo is Dong Zhuo after all. I'll take action after I leave him. Well...it's time to go to Luoyang and see the skills of those top generals when the coalition forces crusade."
…
Ten days later, in Luoyang City, Xiao Jiang, dressed in cloth and wearing a bamboo hat, was wandering around. Early this morning, notices were posted all over the city. The young emperor was deposed and demoted to King Hongnong, and the Queen Mother He also went to the phoenix robe and phoenix crown to be sent away.
When he came to live in Hongnong, the new emperor Liu Xie ascended the throne.
Xiao Jiang glanced at the notice and continued walking around. He was observing the changes in Luoyang during this period, and at the same time he was looking at the state of Sili as Dong Zhuo took control of the government and the emperor could not leave.
Because Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the governors and governors of various states who heard the news would not obey orders. Just like Qingzhou, when Xiao Jiang came, he ordered not even to send tribute.
Nowadays, Xiao Jiang is the King of Beihai. Although he was granted the title by Liu Bian, the new emperor controlled by Dong Zhuo dare not say that he is not the King of Beihai, including the ambitious Dong Zhuo.
To offend Xiao Jiang at this period is to put one's neck under the butcher's knife.
In the blink of an eye, three and a half months have passed, and the entire Luoyang has become extremely chaotic. Many people have fled Luoyang with their families, but the people who stayed behind have suffered.
Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was composed of all kinds of barbarians, and Dong Zhuo deliberately indulged them, so these Xiliang soldiers robbed property and abused women in Luoyang City, and the entire capital became extremely chaotic.
Xiao Jiang appeared in Suanzao, because at this time the Kwantung Allied Forces had been formed in Suanzao. These eighteen princes were the post-general Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County.
, Governor Zhang Miao of Chenliu, Governor Qiao Mao of Dongjun, Governor Yuan Yi of Shanyang, Prime Minister Bao Xin of Jibei, Governor Kong Rong of Beihai, Governor Zhang Chao of Guangling, Governor Gongsun Zan of Peiping, Governor Zhang Yang of Shangdang, and Governor Sun Jian of Changsha of Marquis of Wucheng.
, Yuan Shao, the Marquis of Qixiang, Governor of Bohai Sea, Cao Cao, Governor of Xiaoqi School, Ma Teng, Governor of Xiliang, and Tao Qian, Governor of Xuzhou.
This is of course the plot in the game. Because of Xiao Jiang's existence, there is no such thing as Kong Wenju in Beihai, so he is now the Prime Minister of Dongping, Yanzhou, and can be regarded as a small force.
Each of the eighteen princes led troops, ranging from fifteen thousand to tens of thousands. In total, they still had more than three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, which was said to be a million-strong army to attack Dong's thieves.
In the camp of Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, Xiao Jiang held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the military map on the wall. Mu Shun stood beside him, and Zhang Yang had already gone to participate in the Dong alliance oath petition.
After Xiao Jiang finished reading the map, Mu Shun couldn't help but said curiously:
"Your Majesty, we didn't want to come, but why did Your Majesty still let us join this nameless allied force?"
Xiao Jiang curled his lips and said:
"Gather the eighteen princes together, why do you think I am, but you should pay attention to yourself next. Although you are good at training soldiers, your force is mediocre. Don't do stupid things like challenging generals, and I will
Tell Zhang Yang, this time you are here to make soy sauce. Once the allied forces disperse, you will immediately return to Shangdang to guard the strategic location for me. You must know that Mr. Ding Yuan has to deal with a lot of state affairs and cannot spend too much time in Shangdang.
.”
Mu Shun giggled. He naturally understood what Xiao Jiang said. In Xiao Jiang's eyes, except for a few top military generals in the world, they are all weaklings, and third-rate military generals like Mu Shun are even more scum.
However, Mu Shun was loyal and good at training soldiers, and Xiao Jiang did not want him to become the first famous general that Lu Bu killed.
In Bingzhou, Ding Yuan was the state pastor at this time, but Ding Yuan had already taken refuge with Xiao Jiang before he became the state pastor. Even the entire counties in Bingzhou were still acting according to Xiao Jiang's orders.
Especially Shangdang County was the place where Xiao Jiang made his fortune. Zhang Yang and Mu Shun were die-hard loyalists of Xiao Jiang, and it was Xiao Jiang's arrangement to make Zhang Yang agree to form an alliance this time.
Mu Shun laughed and said:
"Your Majesty, this traitor Dong only has an army of 300,000 to 50,000 people. The Allied forces have an army of more than 300,000 people. It is said that they can be destroyed and killed, but why do I always feel that the princes of the Allied forces are not so confident?"
"The only profit in the world is selfishness, only greed, and only competition. Everyone's focus is on how to take advantage of the opportunity to strengthen themselves, and only a few of them really attack Dong Zhuo.
You must know that including me, you are asked to conserve your own strength as much as possible, not to mention others, so these 300,000 troops are constraining each other, and it is not easy to truly destroy Dong Zhuo's army."
Mu Shun understood. He thought about it and asked:
"Then what does the prince plan to do next?"
"Waiting for the world to be in chaos and the princes to stand together, to sweep away thousands of armies and establish an immortal name for all eternity, haha... Maybe you are thinking this in your heart, right? Only in this way can you achieve success and fame.
Don't worry, you will have your time to become famous, but I really don't like the Han Dynasty. Since you are playing, let's play a bigger one. When the time comes, the exotic customs and sea waves will sweep away the land and destroy the world.
In this Yanhuang land, the only common people are Hua Xia Lang, this is our true ambition to leave a name for future generations."
Mu Shun's eyes lit up when he heard this. At this time, the Han Dynasty already knew that there were many countries outside the territory and there were countless territories overseas. However, the Han Dynasty was not good at expanding. Otherwise, it would start from Jiaozhi to clean up the South Vietnamese barbarians, and then go out to the South China Sea to deal with those barbarians.
Thug cleans up.
The land in the north is bitterly cold, but outside the Western Regions it is extremely wealthy. If Xiao Jiang doesn't do something, he won't do it. If he does, he will make a big splash. Now he has people build four large shipyards in the Bohai Bay. Although he only uses
It has rudimentary artillery technology, but the ship uses the most perfect types of wooden warships.
From Zheng He's future ship to the future sailing battleships of the West, Xiao Jiang exchanged the drawings for production. However, technologies such as steam engines are not suitable for this era. If the technology jumps too fast, it will create a technological gap, which will not be beneficial to the world.
The development of human science and technology.
Xiao Jiang's 10,000 navy troops are training in naval battles and landing battles. This thing was too advanced in the late Han Dynasty's struggle for hegemony. He didn't know if the forces with navy troops would be scared to death if they saw it.
