The first year of the Dragon Age, the first month.

Li Jing ordered Cui Anqian to be the general of the expedition to the west, to Chang'an, to unify 100,000 troops and horses to conquer the west, and continue to sweep the unsurrendered feudal towns in the area of Longyoushuo in Guanzhong. The edict ordered Zeng Yuanyu to be the general of the expedition to the south, commanding 100,000 troops, marching to Wuguan, and responsible for attacking Shannan, Jingnan, Eyue and other Jianghan places. He also ordered Zhao Li to be the general of the expedition to the east, commanding 100,000 troops, marching to Xuzhou, and attacking Zhu Wen in Henan.

The battle went very smoothly, on the fifth day of the first month of February, Cui Anqian, the general of the expedition to the west, led his division from Chang'an to attack Zhu Mei in the town of Suining, conquered Suizhou in one fell swoop, and then went down to Ningzhou, Zhu Mei was defeated and captured, and Suining Town was destroyed. Zeng Yuanyu also according to Li Jing's order, defeated the Xichuan Jiedu envoy Niu Miao, who led the army to the north, and took advantage of the situation to pursue the defeated army, marched southwest along the Hanshui road, conquered Yangzhou, and captured Liangzhou, Xingyuan Prefecture, the seat of the Marshal Mansion of Shannan West Dao Domain, and then conquered Fengzhou, Xingzhou, and Lizhou, and the southern conscription horses went directly to the Jianmen Pass, approaching Shuzhong.

Zhao Li, the general of the expedition to the east, went north from Xuzhou to attack Xuanwu, Zhu Wen had already been besieged on all sides, although he wanted to resist stubbornly, but under the coordinated operation of the elite Qin army by land and water, especially on the open plain of the Central Plains, the iron cavalry and artillery of the Qin army fought together, and the Xuanwu army soon lost all the outlying strongholds, and finally had to retreat into the various fortifications to defend. In the counties of Xuanwu Zhongwu Prefecture, except for a few big cities such as Bianliang and Chen Xu, all the other county towns and villages were completely swept away and flattened by Zhao Li.

After Zhao Li swept away the villages of Xuanwu Zhongwu County, he began to divide the Liang army into various cities, isolated the Liang army, and then attacked one by one. broke through Chenzhou and Xuzhou, capturing more than 30,000 enemies and more than 10,000 horses. After that, he took advantage of the victory to kill Xuanwu and attacked Bianliang from the three waterways of Bianhe, Caihe and Baigou. The other army went out of the prison and attacked Zhengzhou.

Zhu Wen was forced to abandon Zhengzhou. Gather the soldiers and horses in Bianliang and confront Zhao Li. Zhao Li and Zhu Wen fought a decisive battle in Bianliang, the Tang army advanced by land and water, 100,000 soldiers and horses besieged Bianliang for more than a month, Zhu Wen was short of food and grass, and finally the Qin army blasted open the water gate of Bianliang with mines, and the sailors stormed into the city. The Liang army was unstoppable, although it was desperate not to surrender, after three days of bloody battle, the Liang army was almost completely killed and wounded, and even Zhu Wen himself died in the Yacheng Jietang, and the whole territory of Henan was pacified.

Wang Yanzhang, Li Cunxiao, Gao Siji and more than a dozen other generals set off for Bianliang at this time, and on 20 April, this group of generals with shining stars on their shoulders had arrived in Bianzhou, Henan Province, and now Henan is bounded by the Bianhe River. The western part of the Bianhe River is roughly divided into Henan Province, and the eastern part of the Bianhe River is roughly classified into Shandong Province.

Zhao Li, the general of the Eastern Expedition, personally greeted the officer corps at the Bianhe wharf.

"The last general will wait to meet Zhao Shuai!" Wang Yanzhang and others stepped forward to salute.

Zhao Li smiled and stepped forward to greet them one by one, this time the lineup of the officer corps going south was extremely strong, Li Jing's thirteen Taibao, except for Liu Xun in Fujian. Li Rang was in charge of the money, as well as Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao, who were now outside Jiangdong, and the remaining nine Taibao were all there. In addition, now the red star generals in the army, Guo Wei and Guo Tao also came together, in addition, even the second general Zhang Chengzong Liu Shouqian and Guo Zhenshan, Guo Zhenhai, Li Wei, Li Juyi and a large group of young but prominent young generals arrived.

In front of this group of young Zhuang factions, Zhao Li, the general of the Eastern Expedition, did not dare to put on a show at all. Not so long ago. The imperial court has abolished the original Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and separated it into two prefectures in the north and south. The original Qin army was therefore divided into two major systems.

The Northern Ya Forbidden Army. In charge of the 460,000 forbidden army troops, the 460,000 forbidden army is divided into 16 armies, which are the left and right Yulin Guards, the left and right Jin Wuwei, the right Jin Qianniu Guard, the left and right Shence Guard, the left and right Shenwu Guard, the left and right Shenwei Guard, the left and right Dragon Guard, and the left and right prison guards. The 460,000 forbidden troops of the 16th Army of the Northern Ya were responsible for the defense of the Gyeonggi region and several auxiliary capitals scattered in various places, and were the most elite combat troops.

Nanya, on the other hand, commands the guards, and Nanya has twelve guards, which are the left and right Yi guards, the left and right Wei Wei, the left and right imperial guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right military guards, and the left and right waiting guards. They commanded 540,000 guards across the country, and were responsible for border defense and defense of the cities except Gyeonggi and Beidu.

The General Staff Academy, the Military Department, the Forbidden Army of the 16th Army of the Northern Ya, and the Guard Army of the 12th Army of the Southern Ya, this new military system commands the country's million-strong standing troops. According to the new military system, the General Staff Yuan is still in charge of the transfer of troops, and the northern and southern yamen are in charge of the troops, but the northern and southern yamen are not able to mobilize the troops in peacetime. The Janissary and Guard armies of the two northern and southern governments had five divisions under each army, two brigades under each division, five battalions under each brigade, two capitals under each battalion, and five groups under each battalion. When not fighting, the troops are stationed in various places in normal times as battalions, and the supreme commander is the battalion commander, and the prohibition army is the brigade commander. Further up, when not fighting, although there are also establishments, officers do not have the right to directly command subordinate combat units. Only when the war occurred, the emperor ordered the selection of generals, the Senate issued an order, and the military department issued a tiger talisman seal, so that the generals could truly command the soldiers and horses of their own army and division.

Zhao Li knew very well that although this was not a bird hiding the bow, it could be regarded as an inevitable restriction on generals and horses after the successive dynasties pacified the world. In the future, the more senior generals like him, the more rare it will be to have the opportunity to command the troops. On the contrary, it is this group of young generals with the rank of major general and brigadier general, and the future battlefield will only belong to them.

This group of young generals arrived at the behest of the emperor and prepared to lead their troops to Shannan to fight.

According to the strategic plan of Li Jing and the Senate, the imperial court's policy of pacifying the world is still to put the west first and then the east. Judging from this situation, after the clearing of Henan, the official army will temporarily maintain its status quo on the eastern front, and concentrate its forces on attacking Guanlong while mobilizing elite troops to attack and sweep the Bahan and Jingxiang areas at the same time.

The first stage is to sweep away Guanlong and Henan, the second stage is to sweep Bahan and Jingxiang, the third stage is to take Shuzhong, the fourth stage is to attack Hunan, Jiangxi and Eyue, and the last move down the river to sweep the southeast.

The generals came to bring Li Jing's will, and Zhao Li continued to sit in Xuzhou. However, most of the soldiers and horses under his command had to be transferred to Zhang Zimian, who came with the generals, and he and the generals led Qin Zongquan, who attacked western Henan, and Liu Jurong, who attacked Xiangyang.

According to the analysis of Li Jing and the Senate, although Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao had already betrayed Li Jing, they were now in a dilemma, neither daring to further open rebellion, but also unwilling to take a step back and surrender completely. And the Qin army now has soldiers and horses on both the north and south sides of the river, after losing the echo of other places. The two have now been wrapped in dumplings. The imperial court really has to make up its mind, and it is not difficult to pacify Jiangdong. However, Li Jing is not in a hurry to move them now, because the imperial court must first concentrate on dealing with Guanlong and the Shuhan region, and Li Jing believes that as long as the west is pacified, the Jiangdong region will be able to go down without a fight.

Zhao Lijiu Zhen Huaisi. He was also the best at defense among the marshals of the imperial court, so Li Jing finally let him stay in Xu Si to keep an eye on Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao, and sent Zhang Zimian, who was good at mobile combat and good at attacking, to command the attack on Jingxiang.

"Command!" Zhao Li respectfully accepted the holy decree, and his face did not show the slightest expression of dissatisfaction.

Shenjing, the Forbidden City.

Prime Minister Zheng Congyan played: "The minister thinks that His Majesty has been on the throne for half a year, and he is still the crown prince. The crown prince is the foundation of a country, and the new prince must be established as soon as possible. In this way, the dynasty can be neat and tidy, which is conducive to the stability of the people in the world. ”

Li Jing sat on the dragon chair, he did not set up a prince, and the ministers endured it for half a year, but they couldn't bear it after all. In the past six months, the matter of establishing the prince has been revolved. There is also an undercurrent surging in the DPRK and China. His gaze swept over the ministers in the palace, and he said slowly: "I hesitated and failed to establish the crown prince, this is because the princes are young. The crown prince is the foundation of a country. I must be cautious and never stand lightly. ”

Zheng Zheng said: "The princes are still young, whether they are virtuous or stupid, they can't be examined, it's too early to say." However, His Majesty is now just past the year of his establishment, and it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and with His Majesty's wisdom and health, he will inevitably rule for a hundred years. Therefore, the prince's virtue and foolishness do not need to be too careful. Besides, the rules of the ancients. They all set up the eldest son as the crown prince, so why should Your Majesty have a hard time deciding. ”

As soon as these words came out, it meant that the son of Wang Guiniang was appointed as the crown prince. Although in the past, when Li Jing was the king of Qin. There are two princesses, Wang Guiniang and Yu Youniang's children are all sisters-in-law. But now, after Li Jing ascended the throne, Wang Guiniang became the queen, and among the princes, only Wang Guiniang's two sons can be called sons-in-law. Although Yu Youniang is the first concubine of the four concubines, her children are the same as Wang Haojun's children, and they are also just imperial concubines.

Li Jing shook his head, "The crown prince is the foundation of a country, the prince of the country, and the future emperor, of course, he must be a virtuous person." I now have fifty-four princes, but most of them are half a year young, and the oldest one is only more than ten years old. Originally, I meant to wait a few more years before appointing a prince. Since all the Aiqing are invited to stand up as soon as possible today, it is conducive to stabilizing the hearts of the people in the world. So, let's stand first. ”

In the first year of the Dragon Era, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Li Jing issued an edict to crown Li Dezhao, the king of Lanling County, as the king of Qin, Li Delin as the king of Jin, Li Defang as the king of Qi, Li Dexiu as the king of Chu, Li Dehao as the king of Zhou, Li Deye as the king of Lu, Li Dehalo as the king of Zhao, Li Dejue as the king of Wei, Li Dexiang as the king of Liang, and Li Derui as the king of Yan.

Canonize ten kings at once.

On the ninth day of the first month of June, Li Jing issued an edict again, officially canonizing Li Dezhao, the king of Qin, as the crown prince, crowning, settled in the East Palace, and began to learn to deal with government affairs.

In August, Cui Anqian pacified Guanzhong, in September, Zeng Yuanyu pacified Hanzhong, and in October, Zhang Zimian pacified western Henan and Shannan.

In November, the son of Zhang Yichao's brothers, who had returned from the Shazhou uprising, and the current Guiyi Army's Jiedu envoy Zhang Huaishen was attached to the table, welcoming Cui An's expedition to Hexi, and imitating Zhang Yichao to go to Beijing with his wife and daughter to meet Li Jing in person.

At the end of the year, after defeating Qin Zongquan, Zhang Zimian defeated Liu Jurong again, conquered Xiangyang, and then conquered Jingzhou, Jiangling Prefecture, like a swift wind.

In the second year of the Dragon Age, Cui An sneaked out of Sanguan and entered Shu, joined Zeng Yuanyu, and attacked Shuzhong in a big way.

In February, the Jianmen Gate was breached, and 150,000 officers and troops entered Sichuan. Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan resisted stubbornly, and the famous general Gao Renhou in Sichuan was the striker, and Tian Lingzi was the commander of the army. The Sichuan army was defeated, the Tian Lingzi brothers were captured, and in March, Gao Renhou invaded Chengdu, and Li Yi and the hundred officials of the Chengdu camp were captured.

In May, Zhang Zimian pacified Hunan, and in June, the three marshals Cui Anqian, Zhang Zimian, and Zeng Yuanyu met in Jiangling.

In June, the Third Route Army assembled in Jiangling, built warships, and prepared to move south down the Yangtze River to attack the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In August, Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao invited themselves into Beijing, and in September, the official army entered Eyue, Hunan, Jiangxi, Huainan, Xuanshe, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In October, Yang Xingmi, Qian Biao, Zhang Rui, Yu Gui, Yu Qiu, Kang Chengyu, Liu Xun, etc. entered Beijing together!

So far, dozens of feudal towns in the world have been leveled one by one, and the imperial court has calmed the world and mixed one in the universe.
