In the depths of winter, Guanzhong ushered in the new year's snow season.
The earth is covered with snow, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are covered with a layer of silver, the rivers are frozen, and people have reached the time of the annual cat winter at home.
There is a good year of snow and snow, and everyone has long been looking forward to a few thick snowfalls, and when the spring flowers bloom in the next year, the land will absorb more water, so that the dry land can be moistened, and the drought will become a thing of the past.
Under the snowy weather, Miyagi is also shrouded in layers of snow, and the ministers who participated in the court meeting went out of the main hall of Jianzhang Palace, stepping on the passage that had just been cleared out for a long time, and the people who should go back to the palace to return to their respective homes may not choose to go home.
"It's finally settled."
"Yes, it was originally scheduled to be held in the eleventh year of Yuanshuo, but now it is the end of the twelfth year of Yuanshuo."
"New Year's Day is the beginning of a new year, and it is naturally a great auspicious day."
"It's a pity that the proposal to change the era name was rejected by His Majesty."
The main topic of the court meeting was the ceremony of proclaiming the emperor, and the time of the ceremony was determined, and the mood of the ministers was in high spirits.
Yuan Shuo is the name of the year after Liu Yan officially founded the country, Yuan Shuo is also the first day of the year, that is, the first day of the first month, the original choice of this year name means that the Han people need to have a new beginning, embark on the journey of rejuvenation.
Now the old land of the Han family has been completely recovered, and even a lot of land that the ancestors wanted to fight but couldn't lay down has been included in the territory.
Monan is now the northern frontier of the Han Kingdom, where animal husbandry is being vigorously developed, providing large quantities of wool for the interior and supporting the textile industry.
The Han army also crossed the desert and swamps into Mobei, which is not used now, but only as a bridgehead.
In addition to the border army in Mobei, the Han army also stationed a standing army for a long time.
To the west, it was against Xigaoche, due north was against the Rouran Tribal Alliance, and to the northeast it was at war with the remnants of Murong and Tuoba.
In the southwest, the Han people advanced again after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and their footsteps crossed the farthest place that their ancestors could reach, and entered the deep mountains and old forests, which are now directly opened from the land to the sea to the west, expanding the territory for future generations to be the size of the Qin Empire.
In the northeast, the traces of the Han people have appeared within the Arctic Circle, and even the fleet has sailed directly into the area full of ice, if the conditions are not really allowed, they should go to the North Pole to step on their footprints, and plant a flag to indicate that the Arctic is also a sacred and inseparable land of the Han people from now on.
In terms of orientation, the eastern side of the Korean Peninsula is actually the sea, across the strait is the Japanese Islands, and further east is Alaska.
From the land in the west to the land in the east, the sea was all owned by the Han people.
The current Japanese islands are not considered the territory of the Han State, but in fact, there is no difference, ordinary Japanese people are scrambling to become a person with a Han household registration, and the Japanese nobles dream of attaching it, not to mention that the Han troops of more than 200,000 people stationed on the Japanese Islands for a long time are mostly county soldiers.
Liu Yan changed the name of Alaska and named it the Near East.
It probably means the closest North American land to the East.
There are already strongholds established by the Han people in the Near East, and many strongholds have been established due to the extremely harsh environment, but there are not many people in each stronghold.
Their mission was to explore the continent and its inshore seas and lay the groundwork for future expansion into the North American continent.
To the south, the mainland is directly the mainland of the Han Kingdom, extending to the ocean, all the islands explored are all included in the territory, and the farthest position to be explored is the waters of Guam, and the navy is trying to find a string of islands in Hawaii, as Liu Yan said, but the progress is not ideal.
"We have a frontier overseas, too."
Liu Yan stood by a hanging map, pointed to the Asan Continent, and looked at everyone: "Not counting the sea area, the territory of the Han Dynasty is twice as large as that of the Han Dynasty."
After the end of the court meeting, Liu Yan held a small meeting with the core ministers at the regular meeting, and the three princes and nine secretaries, including the important ministers of the military, were present.
"The Asan Continent will be the first land for the Han Dynasty to open a different surname, and it has also been announced at the Great Dynasty Meeting, and it will also be officially circulated in the Di newspaper."
Liu Yan looked at the ministers who were sitting precariously but with happy faces: "Your first fief will be here." ” Today's Great Dynasty will drop two bombshells in a row, the first is to determine the time of the emperor's ceremony, and the second is to confirm the separation of different surnames.
Liu Yan went to Taishan to the throne of Jintian in the fourth year of Yuan Shuo, and officially challenged the Zhengshuo of the Sima family, and became the unique Zhengshuo in the seventh year of Yuan Shuo.
In the ninth year of Yuan Shuo, there was also a division at that time, but it was limited to a small range, and Ji Chang, who was the prime minister at that time, was sternly opposed, and most ministers did not approve of the actual sealing, mainly because the old land of the Han family had not been fully recovered at that time, let alone carried out such a large territorial expansion.
From the ninth year of Yuanshuo to the twelfth year of Yuanshuo, the land that was officially included in the Han Dynasty in just three years was far more than the estimates of all the central ministers, including Liu Yan, and the total land reached 6 million square kilometers.
The ninth year of Yuanshuo to the twelfth year of Yuanshuo is really an exaggerated peak period of expansion, although most of the newly expanded land is islands, but it is really the size of a Western Han Dynasty territory.
In the process of incorporating those islands into the territory of the Han state, the Han people did not encounter strong human resistance during the expansion, and the only thing that caused problems for the Han people was how to conquer nature.
Looking at the hanging map, the islands of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia in later generations have basically become Han soil.
Looking at the location of the Indochina Peninsula, the entire land from the 1st sea of the rising sea to the Asan Ocean is also full of Han soil, and it is directly opened from the land to the Asan continent.
"There is no doubt about the strength of the Great Han."
Liu Yan desperately needs to wake up: "But compared to our population, the land we possess is really too big. ” It is a fact that all the bigwigs admit it, it is a happy trouble, Liu Yan personally re-mentioned the sealing, and there have long been people who think similarly and are willing to extend on this issue, in addition to being selfish, it is really necessary to divide the seal.
"Zhuqing" Liu Yan walked back to his position, sat down and looked around: "At the moment, you have two things that must be done well.
The coexistence of the feudal feud with the nations is a major event, and it should not be sloppy. ” Naturally, the ministers stood and saluted: "No" Liu Yan will not personally go down to the court to determine who should be sealed where, he will still act as a referee.
For the Han Kingdom, which really cannot expand endlessly, how to get along with other countries also needs to be carefully studied.
"Your Majesty."
Lu Yi endured it for a long time, and felt that the time was right: "Great Qin and the Sassanid envoy proposed an idea":
