Chapter 52: The Founding of China
() (Part 2)
On December 10th, with the cooperation of Yin Buyi, Yang Yuhuan, Zhu Tongshen, and Li Yan, and with the help of the three immovable nails of Anshun, Ten Thousand Beasts Fortress, and Shenlong Port,
After more than five months, the original Xia Chang Empire completely became history, and the Chinese Empire unified its territory on the Kowloon Continent.
In fact, the further the war went on, the less resistance there was. Everyone finally completed the task set by Yi Dongshi, which was to unify before the New Year so that everyone could have a good New Year. In the following wars, not counting the 640,000 people who fled, the total number
310,000 enemies were killed, and the number of people who had to surrender increased sharply. In addition to the nobles, the army recruited 490,000 people. It has been more than a year since the feud between the Kingdom of Dahua and the Kingdom of Xia, and the Kingdom of Xia has lost a total of strong labor force
It reached more than two million, but now these are the territory of the Chinese Empire. Aren't these losses all losses of the Chinese Empire? It's heartbreaking. How can it not be heartbreaking? Yi Dongshi didn't think of those armies as armies at all.
It's a labor force that can make money. It makes people speechless.
The reality is that all the 490,000 surrendered troops were made slaves for a period of ten years. One hundred thousand of them were specially given to Wu Fuxing, otherwise he, the acting Minister of Transportation, would be the first to jump because of insufficient manpower.
Hai became the acting Minister of Transportation.
Before the end of the year, the Chinese Empire had no major military actions. Mei Seal began to expand the navy, from one regiment to three divisions. The source of troops was still the 150,000 people brought back by Gao Fengyun from the Fortress of Ten Thousand Beasts, who were recruited by the special operations army and the country.
After the selection by the Ministry of Security, there were only 120,000 people left to serve as police officers, but Yi Dongshi insisted on expanding the navy. Now another 80,000 people were removed, leaving only 40,000 people to serve as police officers. Mei Seal was also promoted to Acting Chief of the Navy
commander.
Regarding the navy, it has not been recognized by everyone in the thousands of years of history of the mainland, because there has been no other maritime military power in these thousands of years. But Yi Shishi knows the importance of the navy, so he is willing to support them. Although the navy now
It can't play much direct role, but Yi Dongshi knows how important the navy's role in protecting the Chinese Empire's economy will be in at most one year. The task of the navy is to block water transportation from Crescent Island to any mainland. Only with the help of His Majesty the Emperor,
Only ships allowed by the Prime Minister, the Tri-Service Command, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Security and other limited departments can travel between the mainland and Crescent Island. The reason is that the industrial bases of the Chinese Empire are all on the islands near Crescent Island
on the sea, and then had to expand to Crescent Island in large quantities, which further increased the difficulty of keeping secrets, so the actual role played by the navy will be immeasurable. These industries were nothing on the earth in Yi Shishi's previous life, because other supporting facilities on the big earth
When there is zero industry, what is easy to develop is the simplest industry. But on the big earth, these simple things are definitely the best guarantee for establishing a strong military and economic power. And precisely because of simplicity, it is
It is easy to imitate. As the news of these methods spread after the strong establishment of the Chinese Empire, smart countries will definitely send people to steal them. In order to prevent these production methods from being leaked, blocking the sea became a necessary choice. Similarly, this
At that time, except for the cunning Wan Liniang and the experienced king Lu Peikun, who guessed the importance of strengthening the navy, the other senior officials of the Chinese Empire were still confused.
Everyone who is the actual decision-maker behind the scenes chose blind and absolute obedience.
After the navy expansion was completed, Shao Laidi's task of establishing a police force within the territory of the Chinese Empire became extremely heavy. According to Yi Shishi's plan, the total land of Crescent Island has more than 230 counties, and each county is divided into five
A police force of one hundred people requires 120,000 police officers. And these 120,000 people must be sent from the mainland of the Chinese Empire, just like the police on the mainland are all sent from Crescent Island.
Management, at least in the early stage, can prevent police raids and so on. However, the ready-made army was deprived of 80,000 people by the navy, leaving only 40,000. The number of 80,000 just became a gap. Since there were a large number of casualties among young and strong men,
There were too few people signing up to be police officers, only 20,000 by the end of January, and the Chinese Empire had long since changed the practice of recruiting strong men, so they had to recruit female police officers again. This also delayed Yi Dongshi's plan to unify Crescent Island.
It was not launched until April of the following year.
Years ago, there was another enfeoffment of nobles, this time mainly to reward military achievements. Zhu Tongshen and Gao Fengyun both became dukes, Yang Yuhuan, Yin Buyi became earl, Li Yan and Lin Wan, who is now the commander-in-chief of the royal guard.
Shan became viscount, seven other officers became viscounts, and a large number of frontline soldiers became barons, a total of more than 200. A highlight of this enfeoffment was that Gao Fengyun asked for surrender in accordance with the previously established army reward methods.
With the first-level title, he obtained the compressed cultivation technique of Linlong, a professor at the Martial God stage who was easy to understand. There was no way, that Linlong entered the Martial God level and reached the Martial God level 2 in just over two years, which was unprecedented, and most of them
It takes decades, even hundreds of years, for people to reach this stage. Can we not make people anxious?
Gao Fengyun also went to Linlong to ask what happened, but whether he was asking for favors from his fellow villagers or using the old superior-subordinate relationship, Linlong told him that this was a method taught by the Third Young Master, and the Third Young Master had no choice but to ask.
Agreed, even these words should not be passed on to the children, and ignored Gao Fengyun. Gao Fengyun had no choice but to find this rule in the military merit reward system formulated by Ying Dacai. If he got a treasure, he brought it up this time.
Fortunately, Governor Yi was also in the capital of Anshun that day. Yi Shuxin agreed to Gao Fengyun's request to demote his title after consulting his fourth brother. However, he still strictly stipulated that this was the Yi family's exercise. Except for Gao Fengyun himself, even his children were not allowed to do so.
Gaiden, otherwise the laws of the empire are ruthless.
Therefore, after the enfeoffment, when the title list was officially announced the next day, Gao Fengyun returned to the marquis list again. After Zhu Tongshen knew the whole story, he immediately applied for it. There was no other way, he was about to attack the God of War, and he had to first
The technique was obtained. Yi Shuxin met. Originally, they were supposed to meet on the third, sixth, ninth, thirteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth, etc. every third day, but she decided to make a special meeting for the newly-confessed nobles in the capital of Anshun.
A court meeting was held, and those who wanted to exchange their titles for martial arts were brought up together, so as to save them the trouble of coming one by one. So another miracle occurred in several continents. A large number of nobles who were enfeoffed two days ago, most of them surrendered two days later.
Most of them were just barons. After being demoted, they no longer even had titles. Only about 80 of them remained.
Two months after the year, the earliest batch of soldiers in the Chinese Empire entered another promotion peak. This time they were promoted, not the promotion three years ago. However, the promotion peak is also happening, but most of it is the follow-up.
The Chinese Empire's reorganized army on Crescent Moon Island was taught by the two great Tai Chi masters Yang Yuhuan and Yin Buyi. It was normal for their subordinates to advance quickly through the ranks. The only one who could remain calm about these promotions and promotions was Yang.
Yu Huan and Yin were unyielding. After all, they were Yi Dongshi's quasi-disciples. Although they didn't know why Yi Dongshi didn't teach them any special skills, what they were learning now were things that only members of the Yi family's royal family could learn, and they didn't have to exchange for titles.
They felt very lucky that they had learned the skills. Moreover, apart from the differences between Li Yan's Jade Girl Sword Technique and Yi Zhijian's Kongtong Left Hand Sword Technique, everyone in the royal family learned the same thing, and the things those two learned were more powerful.
Besides, compared with other people's exercises, there is no essential difference. So they are not in a hurry.
During the Chinese New Year, the people of Yijiazhuang gathered together for the first time in two years. Members of other royal families, except for those few with positions, basically enjoyed happiness throughout their lives, but because of their shallow foundation, none of the members of the Yi family now have a family.
No one who is idle enjoys success. The worst thing is that he follows Yi Dongshi behind him to study and practice martial arts every day, and has no leisure time.
At this time, Du Juan was also picked up by He Meili and reunited with her mother who had followed her to the capital of Anshun. Everyone had a few days off, not favoring one over the other.
Since the Yi family is now a royal family, they have to worship heaven during the Chinese New Year, and the capital is now in Anshun, so the whole family gathered in Anshun. The sacrifice to the Dragon God was moved to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Chinese Empire also issued regulations that every first month thereafter
The third recognized festival after the Fifteenth Festival and the Autumn Harvest Festival.
Now, with Jing Yue as the acting minister of the Ministry of Rites and Yi Shuxin as the emperor, when various ceremonies are held, Yi Dongshi can just kowtow to the heaven and earth and the dragon god's tablet, and he is not the chief priest, so he doesn't have to
