Hankyung.
I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
On the banks of the Royal River, the willow trees have hung down with green silk, and the fields in the distance are also green.
The spring of the third year of revival is a cold spring.
But for the people of Dahua, this spring is very hot.
The crown prince of Dahua did not return to Beijing for the Spring Festival this year, but he presented a very special and precious gift to the imperial court.
Crown Prince Zhang Jing launched a spring offensive against the Wa Kingdom during the Spring Festival, and originally planned to set foot on the Wa Kingdom in March.
As a result, in fact, it only took a month, even the two provinces in the south of Shanyin Mountain in the Pingwa Kingdom, and then the Jinyi Guard Fuso Bureau was even more powerful, and one of their military intelligence departments in Fuso Branch actually set up a fifth column of tens of thousands of people in Namba.
The crown prince's militia has not yet been defeated, and the fifth column of the Jinyi Guard has already taken down the Japanese capital, and the action team of the Jinyi Guard has directly beheaded the empress of the Japanese state.
The deputy commander of the navy, Liu Renliang, then landed in Namba and planted the Dahua military flag in the palace of the Japanese state.
The empress was beheaded, the country was breached, and the dozens of guardian daimyo of the remaining Lingguo had no will to fight, and almost overnight they all surrendered.
Overnight, the Wa Kingdom was pacified.
This is only half the time since Crown Prince Zhang Jing's plan to pacify the Japanese Kingdom in March.
And it has only been three months since Liu Renliang defeated the Japanese army and counterattacked and landed in Tangjin.
The pacification of the Wa Kingdom and the successful completion of the Great East Expedition were also completed.
The three kingdoms of Silla, Baekje, and Wa were destroyed, and Dahua expanded for thousands of miles, with an additional population of more than 10 million.
The total population of the Dahua Empire has also officially exceeded the 100 million mark.
Hubu Shangshu excitedly reported to the cabinet, and the cabinet was also jubilant, and an important goal in the cabinet's first five-year plan was to exceed 100 million people.
And now is the beginning of the third year of rejuvenation, and before the first five years have passed, they have completed the important goal of exceeding 100 million people ahead of schedule.
The good news this spring doesn't stop there.
In the just-concluded three-year imperial examination competition of the Dahua Revival, the imperial court admitted 1,800 jinshi at one time, which was unprecedented.
In the past, 500 Jinshi were admitted every year, and only 1,000 were admitted to the special department for three years of revival, but this year 1,800 Jinshi were admitted at one time.
It's a joy to run.
This makes the aristocratic high-ranking families who have caught their sons-in-law on the list this year greatly increase their chances of choice.
Another piece of good news is the annexation of Mobei.
Mobei was incorporated into the Dahua Empire and became a feudal state, and the House of Nobles has passed a resolution to divide 800 princes in Mobei at one time.
Although there was a personal vendetta between the Hui Khan and the chieftain of the Tunjas, which led to the killing of the father and son of Tumidu, it was only a small episode.
No one cares about this degree of confusion, although he was once a Hui Khan, once owned half of the land of Mobei, and there were 200,000 people under his command.
But everyone soon forgot about him.
The Uighurs soon chose a new Khan king, a chieftain from another Uighur powerhouse.
He happily accepted the canonization of Emperor Dahua and became the Duke of Hui.
As for the Yao Geluo family, it was immediately torn to pieces by the other Hui tribes and divided up.
"Your Majesty, the House of Lords has passed a resolution on the division of eight hundred princes.
The cabinet also prepared a canonization ceremony for the princes of Mobei. ” Prime Minister Ma Zhou and Noble President Wei Zheng reported to the emperor in the early dynasty.
The division of Mobei is of great significance to the imperial court.
Although Mobei is a place that many people look down on, there are some in Mobei, there are in the Western Regions of Yanbei and even Qinghai-Tibet, but for the Dahua court, Mobei is the same as Tubo.
Although this place is very ordinary, it will not increase much income or anything, but if it is not included in Dahua, then this place will be a source of plague and chaos.
If they are not controlled, with the nature of nomads, sooner or later they will still pose a threat to the Central Plains, even if they are just harassing and attacking the border, which is also annoying.
Now that an agreement has finally been reached on the partition, this is of course good, even if Dahua has reservations in this partition, after all, more than 500 titles and fiefs have been given to the Tiele tribes, but in general, Dahua has also divided more than 200 princes at once.
And with this separation, Mobei has completely entered the control of Dahua.
After the division of the fiefdoms, it is no longer allowed to easily cross the border, and the khans and chieftains of the various departments are actually hollowed out, and the fiefs are not subordinate to each other, and the nine divisions of Tiele in Mobei have become more than 500 fiefdoms, making it a plate of scattered sand, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Dahua again.
Zhang Chao and the imperial court attached great importance to this sealing ceremony.
It must be done in a big way, canonizing the eight hundred princes of Mobei at one time, and making a very grand ceremony.
After this ceremony, Mobei is no longer a threat.
"Tomorrow, the gate of heaven will confer the title of princes, and hundreds of officials will watch the ceremony" It just so happened that the envoys and princes from all over the country had not yet begun to return to Beijing, and they happened to watch the ceremony together to witness this moment.

The Dahua Empire has added 800 princes, which can be said to be even more powerful.
Up to now, Dahua is in Monan, Mobei, Liaobei, Xindu, Hezhong, Daxia, Xihai, and Shanbei, and has eight feudal princes.
Each of them ranged from 500 to more than 1,000, with a total of more than 7,000 feudal princes.
The small baron held only ten miles of land, and the great king held five or six hundred miles of land.
There are so many large and small princes, all over the borders of Dahua, and the fiefs are intertwined and contain each other.
A large group of feudal nobles was formed.
And the Dahua Imperial Court has also been expanding continuously over the years.
The territories directly under the imperial court have expanded a lot, such as Liaoxi, Liaodong, Korea, Lelang, Daifang, Fusang, Luzon, Linyi, Funan, Annam, Vietnam, Western Regions, Qinghai, Yanbei, Raole, Songmo, Lingdong, Suiyuan, and many overseas territories directly controlled by the imperial court.
"After Mobei was pacified, the north of Dahua could sit back and relax.
After the pacification of the East China Sea, the east of Dahua was also free from then on.
Now Dahua can be regarded as completely freeing up his hands from the north and east, and can go all out to the south and west. ” After the end of the early dynasty.
Zhang Chao convened the Imperial Council, and the most core ministers of Dahua participated.
The north and east sides were pacified, which was beyond the previously scheduled time.
Now the imperial court should also appropriately adjust its strategic layout.
Although there are still many large and small tribes in the north, such as the Murowei, the Yaksha, the Wandering Ghosts, and the Yakshas, these distant northern tribes are now nominally subordinate to Dahua and have become Dahua's feudal vassal states.
Before Dahua stabilized Mobei and Liaobei, in fact, Dahua no longer needed to march farther north.
Fighting the Wei and the Yan people is not enough for military spending.
Now that they have surrendered, this matter is spared.
To the east, there is no rival.
Further east, there is the Americas, but they are tens of thousands of miles away, and they are not at all.
"In the next stage of the empire, I think we should focus on the Indochina Peninsula and at the same time take into account the development of the South Seas.
As for the west, we are now neutral, and as long as the Romans and the Arabs can keep their agreement with us, then we will continue to trade with them, and we can make a fortune selling ordnance, and there is no need to wade into the troubled waters. ” Prime Minister Ma Zhou's foreign strategy was not conservative, and he supported the imperial court's external expansion.
But his expansion strategy is relatively stable.
He has always advocated that the imperial court should use troops to the surrounding areas, strengthen conquest and development, and turn it into a summer.
As for the West, which is too far away, even if it is rich and large, distance is the biggest difficulty.
So as long as trade can be maintained, as long as the two great empires of Rome and Arabia are willing to always recognize the border agreement negotiated with Dahua and do not take the initiative to invade, then Dahua will always sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
On the contrary, it is in the south of Dahua, which should be the direction of Dahua's full operation.
Qianzhong, Jiannan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Guangxi, and Annan still need to be strengthened in development, especially many barbarian tribes are still not subject to the king, Dahua should strengthen the promotion of land reform and return to the stream, bring these places into the real rule, and no longer let those natives be at ease.
And the Indochina Peninsula further south, what land and water, what kind of land and water, what kind of country, etc., don't you bulldoze them and keep them for their children and grandchildren to do Taking advantage of the fact that there is no real powerful force on the peninsula now, it is just time to flatten the Indochina Peninsula and make this land completely part of the Central Plains Empire.
In this way, the imperial court's control over the fertile soil of Xindu can also be greatly strengthened.
Ma Zhou's idea is actually the central system and the embodiment of centralized power.
The imperial court can divide the princes, but this does not affect the centralization of power, and does not make the imperial court stronger.
The inclusion of the Indochina Peninsula under the direct jurisdiction of the Dahua Imperial Court is the embodiment of centralized power.
Fang Xuanling has some reservations about this.
In his opinion, there is nothing rare in Indochina.
In addition to the high mountains and jungles, are there any grasshoppers and malaria?
The water and land Jinla and the Pyu kingdom and the wolf's tooth cultivation are far less valuable than the Baekje Silla and the Wa country, if he thinks about it, those places are actually directly sealed up.
Let the princes conquer and explore, and the court can save worry and effort.
The jurisdiction of the imperial court is also limited, and it is enough to change the land and return these places to the river and truly incorporate them into the rule.
Of course, the emperor insisted on including the Indochina Peninsula in the conquest plan, and after the conquest in the future, it would be directly governed by the imperial court, and Fang Xuanling did not object.
Speaking of the back, Zheng Yuanxuan of Yushitai raised a question.
"Now that the Japanese state has been pacified, the Eastern Expedition camp can also be dismissed.
Now Fuso has three militia divisions and a regular army of the imperial court, and the strength is overrun, please ask if you will reduce and remove some" The Wa Kingdom was extinguished, and now it is renamed Fusang Road, which is a territory directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but it is also divided into princes' caiyi.
The imperial court sent Xuanfu envoys and other officials, but they were restrained by the crown prince.
The crown prince personally sat in Fuso and managed the area.

The Prince's private army was 15,000, while his militia was capped at 20,000, all of which were written into the Constitution.
Today, Fusang has 20,000 regular troops and 60,000 militia divisions, not counting the Korean fleet of the imperial court.
"The army of the army will stay in Fuso for the time being, and then transfer back when the situation over there is more stable.
As for the three militia divisions of Fusang, the 103rd Division, they will also be transferred back to Liaodong and Liaobei in two months.
There were two Fusang militia divisions left, 15,000 were reorganized into the prince's caiyi guard, and 20,000 were retained as the prince's caiyi militia. ” "There are still 5,000 left, and they will be reorganized into a tax police force."
Zhang Chao said after thinking for a while.
Imperial Doctor Zheng Yuanxuan asked with some doubts, "The 5,000 tax police force is dedicated to tax collection" It was the first time he had heard of the tax police force.
"As for the tax police, this is a new plan of mine, and I just want to talk to you today." t1706231537:
