The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 758
The [-] coalition forces that survived the war could no longer hold on, and surrendered without waiting for the princes to respond.At this time, no matter how stupid people are, they can see clearly that the destruction of the princes is in sight, and they don't want to sacrifice themselves again for the benefit of these princes.

The princes were suddenly dumbfounded. No matter whether they were the surrender faction or the main combat faction, they were all alone at this time, with very few soldiers and horses left around them.Facing the crusading army that was slowly approaching, he had to kneel down and ask for surrender.

Lin Yifan immediately ordered the army to gather all the [-] surrendered troops and escort them back to Liuxia City.All the major princes were imprisoned, and followed the army to continue northward, using their prestige to quickly quell the resistance of the princes' territories.

More than ten days later, the crusading army joined up with the friendly army in the north, assembled an army of more than [-], and continued to sweep across the country.

By the beginning of March, the whole territory of Yingzhou was basically calm.

After returning to the imperial capital, Lin Yifan ordered that the hundreds of thousands of captured Dongyang troops be eliminated, the old and the weak, and the stubborn ones eradicated. In the end, more than 15 soldiers were obtained and merged into the crusade army. Training.

Now that the territories of all the princes have been occupied by Tianhua, Lin Yifan ordered Zhaoming Huizi to take all the lands of Yingzhou and Penglai, abolish the enfeoffment, and establish counties.Yingzhou was divided into six counties, Penglai was divided into four counties, and the remaining islands were recovered and merged according to size and distance, each with a county government.

Under the powerful military front, all the princes from all walks of life were wiped out.The unification and centralization that Dongyang emperors dreamed of in the past has come true in the hands of the only queen.Although the real master of Dongyang is actually Tianhua, the old Emperor Dongyang is very moved. Now he only hopes that his daughter can give birth to the son of Emperor Tianhua, and the descendants of Zhaoming Huizi will continue to rule Dongyang Kingdom .At least, calculated in this way, the blood of their Zhaoming royal family can continue to be passed down in Dongyang.

Although Fusang Island has not been pacified yet, Lin Yifan has already returned to his heart at this time. He must make all preparations in Dongyang to prevent recurrence in the future.

Therefore, Lin Yifan reformed Dongyang's system, converging it with Tianhua, so that it could be directly incorporated into the territory in the future.In the past, Dongyang was originally a feudal country with strict hierarchy.With Dongyang Emperor as the first level, the generals are below, then the vassal lords from all walks of life, the gentry, the civil officials and warriors attached to the vassal lords, and then the farmers and businessmen modeled on the Central Plains, and finally the untouchables and the vassals. slave.

Originally, Dongyang established the shogunate rule for the generals, and Dongyang Emperor was just a puppet.But after a coup ten years ago, the general was overthrown, and the military department, mainly middle and senior officers under the general's command, came to power, but thought that an absolute core of leadership had not been formed, the military department began to split, and was eventually replaced by the old Dongyang emperor. Seizing the opportunity, he gradually seized the power of the military department.Finally mastered most of the territory under the control of the military, and became the Dongyang Emperor with great power for thousands of years.It has to be said that if there is no Tianhua Eastern Expedition, the old Dongyang Emperor will definitely have a chance to dominate Dongyang.

But now, this Dongyang has already been seriously injured after this battle. From Dongyang's invasion of the Central Plains to today's Huaping Dingzhou, the number of Dongyang people who died in the battle was as high as 50, plus the rest of the people who died indirectly in the war. , At least one million people died.Without decades of recovery, Dongyang, with a population of only a few million, could not recover at all.

Therefore, what Lin Yifan had to do was to abolish the original feudal system, gather local power, set up a cabinet at the center, and separate ministries.However, it is impossible for him to give Dongyang King all the power in Dongyang. Instead, he entrusts all the internal affairs of Dongyang to the cabinet ministers.As for the cabinet ministers, the head of the cabinet must be appointed by Tianhua, and Tianhua must also occupy more than half of the cabinet staff.The military is in charge of the garrison general stationed in Dongyang, who is also appointed by Tianhua.

However, since it is still impossible to send Tianhua officials to take up the post, military control can only be temporarily implemented in Dongyang. After Lin Yifan leaves, the garrison general will be in charge of all affairs in Dongyang.

It's not that Lin Yifan didn't want to directly take over the land of Dongyang and have it directly under Tianhua's jurisdiction.But Dongyang people have been living alone overseas for a long time, and the Dongyang royal family has been a royal family for thousands of years. In the hearts of Dongyang people, the prestige is extremely high.If you rush to occupy Dongyang, I'm afraid it will cause a backlash.Now that the Central Plains has not yet been unified, he does not want to spend too much effort, manpower and material resources on Dongyang's side.Let it subtly last for a while, and when the time is right, it will be incorporated into the empire's territory.

In mid-March, the navy gathered at Izumo Port, carrying hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to Fusang Island.For this expedition to Fusang, Lin Yifan did not personally conquer, but handed over the army to Niu Dali to lead.

During this Eastern Expedition, Niu Dali has shown his potential as a good general. He has followed Lin Yifan for many years and has been in charge of the Qilin Guard. Whether it is military ability or prestige, he is qualified for the position of the Eastern Expedition Army's chief general.

Lin Yifan stayed in the imperial capital, making final arrangements for the system reform.Now that Emperor Dongyang has lowered himself to the throne, the title of the imperial capital is naturally out of date.Therefore, Lin Yifan decided to change the name to Tokyo, which not only means the capital of Dongyang, but also hides a small thought of Lin Yifan.In the future, Tokyo will be one of the five capitals of Tianhua, and will be the place where Emperor Tianhua will go on tour.

Now Dongyang Palace still does not change its name, precisely because Lin Yifan has confirmed it as his place of business, so naturally there is no need to change its name.The relationship between Zhaoming Huizi and him has long been known to everyone, and no one dares to object to living in the palace.

However, now Lin Yifan is facing a problem, Zhaoming Huizi pesters him all day long, wanting to get an official title, even an ordinary concubine is fine, but he doesn't want to be as anonymous as he is now.

This caused Lin Yifan a lot of headaches. If Xiang can make her the concubine of Emperor Tianhua, he can't do it casually. He must go through a formal ceremony and announce it to the world.But in this way, it is tantamount to opening a hole.Since I can marry Queen Dongyang as my concubine, why can't I marry someone else as my concubine?

One must know that in Tianhua Country, countless gentry and noble officials are all eagerly looking forward to stuffing women from their own clan into the palace.Even countries far away in the surrounding area have clearly expressed their willingness to make peace with him.These were all rejected by Lin Yifan. After marrying two wives, he had no intention of adding to the harem for many years.

Therefore, Lin Yifan had no choice but to find an excuse, telling Zhaoming Huizi that she was now the king of Dongyang, and she was responsible for being the king of Dongyang people.If you marry her as a concubine at this time, what do Dongyang people think?If Dongyang people find it hard to accept for a while and chaos breaks out, it will be very difficult to end.

Hearing Lin Yifan's words, Zhaoming Huizi couldn't help being dubious, but she also knew that the overall situation was the most important thing, so she couldn't push her any further. She only said that His Majesty would take her back to the Central Plains in the coming day.

With a hint of guilt in his heart, Lin Yifan nodded immediately, promising to make her a concubine in the future and take her back to meet the queen.As for how long it will take, Lin Yifan can't guarantee it.
