The first thing Li Jiancheng did after he ascended the throne was to kill Wei Wensheng.
As for the name, it is to avenge his father, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu Li Yuan!
Although Li Jiancheng's uncles and brothers, such as Li Xiaoji, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Daoxuan and others, had doubts about this matter, the Tang Dynasty was already riddled with holes and could not bear the trouble. Therefore, these royal family members surnamed Li took action.
After some discussion, they all finally chose to remain silent, and acted increasingly low-key, fearing to offend Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng was quite happy with the performance of these royal relatives. He was very happy and gave these cheap princes a lot of promotions and titles.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty has now reached this point. Even if these princes are given large fiefdoms and titles, they cannot actually get the benefits.
Li Jiancheng seemed to have never heard of this. On the day after he ascended the throne, Li Jiancheng announced another major event, which was the amnesty of the world!
Of course, the only ones left for Li Jiancheng to pardon were the criminals in Chang'an City!
In order to show his broad-mindedness as His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng ordered people to release all the prisoners in the prison, intending to let these criminals bathe in the sunshine of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that the performance of this gang of criminals really disappointed Li Jiancheng.
The first day after being released from prison was a little better, but by the second day, these criminals had basically figured out the situation in Datang.
Knowing that the Tang Empire seemed to be in trouble in a few days, these criminals immediately became rampant.
Stealing is not a big deal! Robbery, murder, and arson are commonplace! Some arrogant people even began to plot against the Tang government, military camps, and imperial palaces.
On the second night after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, dozens of thieves were caught in the palace. As for the number of those who were not caught or even discovered, Li Jiancheng was not able to know!
Outside the palace, there were also dozens of princes and ministers whose homes were robbed. Some of the unlucky ones even had their homes set on fire before they left!
What's even more incredible is that a military camp actually caught fire inexplicably! Although the final loss seemed small, the impact was quite significant! The most obvious point is that the morale of the Chang'an defenders was very low.
A lot!
Early on the third day, after Li Jiancheng's morning court, he received these messy reports. In addition to being angry, Li Jiancheng didn't care about the celebration of his ascension to the throne. He waved his hand and decreed, "Kill me!"
As a result, Chang'an City fell into a bloody storm.
Similar to Chang'an, Bingzhou is also experiencing a bloody storm.
East Turkistan Khan Ashina Duobi, after burning, killing and looting in Taiyuan County, saw that all the land except Taiyuan City had turned into a scorched earth, Duobi finally stopped his troops with great contentment.
Carrying cartloads of supplies and tens of thousands of robbed women from the Central Plains, they marched northward to Loufan County. They left the fortress at Loufan Pass and returned to the grasslands.
Although the bandit Liu Wuzhou felt sorry for Taiyuan being harmed by Du Bi, he only felt sorry for the loss of a large part of the tax revenue source. Liu Wuzhou had no sympathy for the suffering of the people in Bingzhou, and he did not pursue Du Bi to avenge the people of Bingzhou.
idea.
These things have little impact on His Majesty Yuwen Chenglong who lives in Luoyang.
According to the intelligence received by Yuwen Chenglong, although Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing and others who were stationed in Guanzhong did not capture Chang'an City, they beat the Tang army into a coward and did not dare to go out to Chang'an again. They could only huddle in Chang'an City.
The hundreds of thousands of troops inside have become a lone army, and it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed!
As for Mai Tiezhang, Wang Xuan and others in Youzhou, although they failed to win a big victory, Du Bi and Liu Wuzhou were both left half disabled. As long as their hands were free, they could deal with them at any time.
However, Yuwen Chenglong doesn't have much time to pay attention to this matter right now.
Because, the old man Yu Wenji has been getting worse day by day and is currently lying in bed counting down the days!
On the other hand, it is because Dayuan's grain and grass have reached the warning line and are no longer enough to support large-scale foreign operations! Little old man Wei Zheng has written several times to remonstrate, asking His Majesty Yuwen Chenglong to suspend foreign expeditions.
Being annoyed by the housekeeper of Wei, Yuwen Chenglong had to temporarily order Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others to lead their troops to retreat to Mei County and Xinfeng area to stock up on food.
In addition, the more than one million women and children that Yuwen Chenglong robbed during his expedition also need to be properly resettled. These are an important foundation for the population growth of the Yuan Dynasty!
Among the more than a million women and children, Yuwen Chenglong only selected less than a hundred top-quality goods for his own use. There were more than a hundred thousand lolita distributed to major women's colleges for training, and more than a hundred thousand high-quality goods were selected for preparation.
They were distributed to meritorious soldiers, and the rest were scattered and distributed to various states and counties for sale.
However, these matters only require Yuwen Chenglong to designate a major policy policy, and the rest can be handled by General Manager Wei Zheng and others.
After more than a year of operation, the political system of the Yuan Dynasty with the separation of military, political and legal powers has basically matured.
At present, in addition to controlling the military power and the supervisory department, Yuwen Chenglong has basically no longer paid attention to political affairs, but has attributed them to the Prime Minister's Yamen presided over by Wei Zheng. Yuwen Chenglong only provides directional guidance on major policies, and officials above the fifth rank
Just give instructions for appointment and dismissal.
According to Yuwen Chenglong's idea, he wanted to establish a constitutional monarchy similar to that of the Empire and the Little Devil in later generations, so as to prevent future generations of his family from messing up the country due to lack of ability, and ultimately leading to the tragedy of the entire family's destruction.
In fact, Yuwen Chenglong has had this idea for a long time and has been preparing for it for a long time, and that is education.
The premise of democracy is that the people are generally well-educated and able to understand, accept and participate in the political method of elections.
Yuwen Chenglong vigorously developed compulsory education when he was in Suzhou and Hangzhou, paving the way for this.
In addition, there is another issue that needs to be solved, which is the issue of military control.
Nowadays, with Yuwen Chenglong's methods, it is not a problem to control all the armies of Dayuan. Even the abilities of Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Wu Yunzhao, Mai Tiezhang and others are far from being comparable to Yuwen Chenglong's prestige in the army.
.
But in the future, Yuwen Chenglong's descendants may not have the ability to control the army well!
Moreover, how to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army is also a problem! If it is like the Song Dynasty in later generations, the army is trained to be soft-footed shrimps. It is true that it is obedient, but it will not work if it cannot win the battle at the critical moment!
After much thought, Yuwen Chenglong finally came up with a combination of a comprehensive conscript system, a senior officer training system, and a military commission system.
With Dayuan's current strength, it is basically not a problem to wipe out all the parties. The only difference is time. Moreover, with Dayuan's current national strength, it is enough to arrange the retired soldiers properly.
It can be said that the conditions for the full implementation of the compulsory military system are basically mature.
As for the training of senior officers, it is not difficult. All it takes is the establishment of a senior military school in Luoyang, which is responsible for the training of senior officers above the brigade commander.
There is no doubt that the principal of this military school will be the emperor Yuwen Chenglong, and the subsequent principals will also be appointed by the emperors. In this way, the military power will not be neglected, as long as there is no particularly pig-headed emperor.
Then the Yuwen family will basically have no worries.
The last military committee system was established to prevent future descendants of the Yuwen family from being too cowardly and leading to the seizure of military power. Within the military committee, there is a generalissimo, who is served by Yuwen Chenglong himself, and eight deputy commanders.
Shuai, acting as a pawn for Chairman Yuwen Chenglong. In addition, the establishment of political commissars and staff systems at all levels in the military has also been planned by Yuwen Chenglong.
In order to deal with this, Yuwen Chenglong summoned Wei Zheng, Fang, Du, Cen Wenwen, Wu Yunzhao and other civil and military officials, held repeated meetings and discussed for dozens of days, and finally drafted an implementation draft.
Just when Yuwen Chenglong was full of ambition and prepared to carry out drastic reforms for the second time, on this day, bad news suddenly came out from the palace! (To be continued.)^-^Book (0000)^-^
