Chapter 205 Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor

By the time these things were over, three years had passed since Wang Yan took over the northern region.

In the past three years, except for Wang Yan's internal anti-Confucian movement and a large group of peasant armies in the south who gathered together for various reasons and forcibly crossed the Huaihe River for the Northern Expedition, they have been fighting back and forth.

Under the silent guidance of Wang Yan's men, in the end, almost the entire southern area was plowed. If we want to completely eliminate the landlords in the south, we cannot rely on these peasant armies. After all, there are always those who are greedy for wealth and honor, and there are always those who are on the wrong team. In addition, they also have territory to manage, and they also need the help of those people to live in it.

Wang Yan knew clearly that it was great to have the current results. It had saved him a lot of trouble, and the rest was nothing to worry about and could be wiped out with a wave of his hand.

But what should be said is that these peasant armies who have been fighting for more than ten years will not be given in vain. Because of the chaos in the Central Plains, ethnic minorities and chieftains in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places rebelled one after another. Now the peasant army that invaded these places beat those people like their grandchildren and subdued them... …

In the past three years, the overall development of the northern land will inevitably not keep up with that of Liaodong. After all, resources, land, and population are not equal. Therefore, except for the visible prosperity of Shuntian Prefecture, other places have returned to the level of the early years of Chongzhen. What is better than that is that there is a lot less oppression and a lot less taxes.

Of course, this is not to say that Wang Yan is so awesome that he developed the entire north in just three years. As long as he doesn't go to war or collect taxes blindly, Wang Yan will be serious and modest after more than ten years. ...After all, he has built so many roads, so many water conservancy projects, and built so many factories and shipyards. Moreover, although the farmers under him may not have eaten enough in the past three years, no one has died of hunger or freezing, and there is not a single beggar on the road.

This is mainly due to the fact that on the one hand, when Wang Yan allocates supplies, he will reserve part of them for those who are corrupt. On the other hand, it is because Wang Yan can really know where vicious incidents will occur. Once he knows such a thing, Wang Yan's The method is generally to humiliate everyone from top to bottom to do hard labor. Just masturbating like this a few times can guarantee the basic bottom line of these people.

In the fifteen years since he founded the Secret Guard, he has almost become a talent even after he was born and raised as a baby, not to mention the half-grown ones like Wang Yan who recruited orphans and beggars back then. He has long had the ability to collect objective intelligence, and he knows the secrets of some ministers, not to mention such things that cannot be concealed, it is easy.

This is why he has the confidence to let corruption go, and everything is under control. Moreover, if there really was someone who didn't care about the lives of the civilians below, Wang Yan would not let him become a powerful person. He would have been copied long ago. Generally speaking, it's okay to be greedy for money, but don't disturb the people.

It was because he was so cooperative and even took the initiative to give money that the civilians below were truly cultivated. In addition, Xiao Glacier's power has reached the end and is almost finished, so overall it is pretty good.

In fact, three years later, Wang Yan's paper coupons have already passed through most areas in the north and south, and they are quite strong. These officials are basically greedy for their paper coupons, and then exchange them for gold and silver everywhere. What's the use of that? They were all printed by himself...

Over the past few years, the number of Wang Yan's soldiers has increased by 300,000 to 700,000. These are qualified soldiers with excellent physical talents selected from all over the north. To say that more people are needed, he has been operating outside the customs for more than ten years. Together with the Han people, the conquered Mongols, and the veterans who retired from the army and became policemen, the total number is only 500,000.

Now in just over three years, the army has been expanded by 300,000 people, and these 300,000 people have taken turns to fight outside and have seen blood. Although the battle formation they passed through was relatively small and their combat effectiveness was somewhat worse than the previous 400,000, they were still first-class good soldiers. And the most important thing is that these 300,000 people are literate and thoughtful soldiers.

Now that Wang Yan has 700,000 troops, the northern territory has been stabilized, and he has accumulated a lot of resources, it is time to do something big.

In early March of the 19th year of Chongzhen, in addition to border guards, overseas garrisons, and local stability maintenance troops, Wang Yan's 200,000-strong army and some previously selected civil servants, petty officials and other middle- and lower-level officials crossed the Huaihe River south, and the Unification War began.

How could these famous peasant soldiers be Wang Yan's opponents? In just eight months, the entire southern land fell into Wang Yan's hands. As for the previous peasant armies, except for those who were killed on the battlefield, most of them were captured and did hard labor to build the south nearby. Only a small number of them went to the territory of the Nanyang Five, and they would have to come back to work sooner or later...

Although the land reform, business tax reform, anti-Confucian cultural movement, production resumption, infrastructure construction, etc. in the south have not ended, some have not even begun. But after winning the southern region, unifying the whole country, and returning China to one family, Wang Yan was already the de facto emperor. There was plenty of time to do those tasks slowly, but the important matter of founding the country and ascending the throne could not be delayed.

In fact, as early as September, relevant officials in the capital were already preparing for the enthronement ceremony. No one would doubt the combat effectiveness of Wang Yan's soldiers. Now that the troops have been dispatched, a battle will definitely determine the country.

To be honest, Wang Yan still feels quite awkward about this enthronement ceremony. On the one hand, the cost of such a large ceremony was secondary. After all, he lacked everything. The main thing was the tedious and grueling process, which Wang Yan was quite impatient of. But when he thinks about it, he will be the emperor next time, and he is quite looking forward to such a ceremony... It's all a stupid disease...

In the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, it was night on New Year's Eve.

Wang Yan didn't do any drama of giving banquets to ministers. During the Chinese New Year, it was always time to have a good rest. Except for the normal left-behind staff, basically everyone was on holiday.

In the Forbidden City, dozens of members of Wang Yan's family sat at several tables and had New Year's Eve dinner together, which was very lively.

The five girls at the same table with him were Ding Baiying, the Zhou sisters, Zhang Yan, and Wei Ting. The other concubines who came later were not included in the list. As for the children, those who can take care of themselves sit with their close friends and sisters, while those who cannot take care of themselves are held by their mother.

As a person born four hundred years later, even though Wang Yan is not a wealthy person, it is difficult for him to enjoy the services of others with peace of mind. Although strictly speaking, everything on this land of China, living and dead, even a stone or a grain of sand, is his private property.

Therefore, in addition to the necessary ten or so maids and eunuchs who served, most of the other maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City were given leave by Wang Yan. The chefs from the General's Mansion that he brought over from Liaodong, along with the original imperial chefs, had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, making those people happy together.

Wang Yan himself was not afraid when he entered the palace gate, which was as deep as the sea. However, he had to consider the women and children in the harem, so it was difficult for those in the palace to leave the palace and have contact with people outside the palace. There was no need for him to take that risk, even though it cost the freedom of thousands of people...

Wang Yan took a sip with a smile. He was quite proud looking at the flourishing old Wang family here.

Ding Baiying, who was in her thirties and more plump, looked at Wang Yan with a smile: Tomorrow, our eldest son will be enthroned. He will be the emperor. I used to be able to talk about it when nothing happened, but no matter what, I never thought that such a day would come...

Then several women chattered a lot, lamenting what time this and that were.

Seeing the excitement here, the seventeen-year-old second eldest son Wang Junyi poked Wang Junxiao, the twelfth son born to Zhou Miaoxuan who was only four years old.

A four-year-old child is still too young. How could he know so much? He ran to Wang Yan in a daze and said, Daddy, daddy, I congratulate my father on becoming the emperor tomorrow...

Wang Yan laughed, rubbed the kid's head, picked him up and put him on his lap: Okay, dad knows, come and eat meat.

Wang Junxiao forgot about his mission for a moment, and happily sat in Wang Yan's arms and started eating. It wasn't until after a while that he felt his second brother's murderous intent, then he smiled sheepishly, raised his neck and called daddy, interrupting Wang Yan's conversation with the others.

What's wrong? Wang Yan looked down at his son in his arms.

Dad, if you become the emperor, does that mean we will become princes?

Definitely.

Wang Junxiao asked happily: Then do we have a fiefdom? Will we get monthly money?

Wang Yan is cunning and cunning, and he knows it even if he listens to his feet. Someone asked this kid to ask about the first one. He knows such a shitty fiefdom for such a small child. No need to think about the latter one, it is the kid's own secret.

Daddy is also thinking about it. Do you want a fiefdom?

Wang Junxiao shook his head: I want monthly money, lots and lots of monthly money.

Haha, little money fan. Okay, when you grow up, daddy will give you a lot of monthly money. Wang Yan laughed and said, Tell daddy, who asked you to ask about the fiefdom?

As soon as these words came out, the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and the second brother's face turned pale with fright. He begged all the gods and Buddhas, hoping that his twelfth brother would not betray him.

But obviously, he was disappointed. What does such a child know? When he heard his biological father asking, he subconsciously turned to look at him not far away.

Wang Yan followed the direction and saw the nervous look on the second child's face, as well as the careless and gloating looks of the children on the side. He didn't know who it was.

He immediately said to the second child: Don't be afraid, why are you trembling? I can eat you? You will be fined for one year, do you understand?

Wang Junyi quickly knelt down and kowtowed: My child understands.

This is really equivalent to not being punished. After all, he has his own mother. He definitely can't watch him suffer. The fine and salary are all trivial.

Okay, get up. Wang Yan waved his hand and looked at the women and children present: I will be crowned emperor tomorrow, and some of my thoughts are normal. Everyone is here today, so I will speak out if I have anything to say. Before You all know that your mothers and my women are all noble concubines, and I will not establish a queen.

As for the position of prince like the prince, you don't have to think about it. I am only thirty-eight years old after the Chinese New Year. Maybe you won't live as long as me. What's the use of worrying about that? As for the fiefdom question that I asked just now. , it’s up to you. If you are ambitious, I will give you an army. Go out and fight as big a place as you want.”

If you don't want it, just want to live a down-to-earth life. I won't force you. Do whatever you want. If you want to be an official, go to the countryside below and start from the grassroots level. If you want to enjoy it, Just keep your tail between your legs, as long as you don't harm the people and don't take bribes and bend the law, I, the father, will not let you down.

As for the future heirs of the empire, it depends on whether your children can meet the requirements. The empire is so big, and you all know that not just anyone can control it. So, you should train the next generation well. I understand. ?

I understand.

For a time, women and children all responded.

Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction: If you understand, let's eat.

After I finish talking this time, I believe there won’t be any worries about this for a long time. As for the future, he didn't know what his children could do. As for the soldiers admonishing him... Wang Yan has this confidence, but no other son or daughter has the courage. The main reason is that the character of his children is still good. Although they are affected by various influences when they grow up, the things they cultivated in childhood will not change easily. Apart from being a little clever, they are all good children.

The family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner...

The next day, the first day of the first lunar month.

The capital city was buzzing with gongs and drums, firecrackers were blasting, and people all over the city came out to watch the fun...

Wang Yan was wearing a bright yellow nine-dragon robe, with a neat crown on his head and a long sword hanging from his waist. He looked like an emperor and showed his majesty.

The enthronement ceremony was very complicated and lengthy. Wang Yan followed the local customs and basically said nothing.

There is one thing I want to talk about: worshiping ancestors in the Taimiao Temple is such a link. The distant ancestors are easy to talk about, but the old ancestors of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the recent ancestors are finished. Wang Yan's identity here is that of an orphan. He has no parents and no ancestors. In the same way, a group of people are racking their brains to think about the celebrities in history who are worthy enough to be Wang Yan's ancestor...

Wang Yan specified that he couldn't do this kind of thing, and if he really wanted to do it, he couldn't do it if he brought his father over. It's just that his father is living well in the real world, and he has established a reputation with this person, which makes him somewhat of a filial son. So in the end, it was just like that, just to pay tribute to the distant ancestors and that was it.

Another point is that when he was reciting the sacrificial inscriptions and praying to heaven and earth, Wang Yan was somewhat distracted. He had never read any good novels before, so he knew about the title Emperor. In the past, the Yin and Shang Dynasties were all emperors of human beings, equal in status to heaven and earth. However, in the Zhou Dynasty, they became emperors. When he was reading, he was still studying whether there was luck or not, and what would be the result if he established himself as a personal emperor...

Of course, he just wanted to think about this. After all, the system's living fathers have come out, so if God really does exist, how will he be punished...

After working for a long time, Wang Yan didn't drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food, and finally the complicated enthronement ceremony was completed.

Wang Yan officially established the country of Huaxia, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and founded the country of Huaxia. This year was the first year of Huaxia. Wang Yan stipulated that the name of this year is Yongchang, and subsequent kings cannot change it. The official calendar was changed to the Yellow Emperor calendar, and the first year of Huaxia was Kaiyuan 4344.

In fact, there was a lot of hard work when deciding on the country's name. Since ancient times, the country's title has basically been based on the fiefdom, the title, or the ancestors of Niubi, but when it comes to Wang Yan, it is more embarrassing.

Wang Yan has no father or mother, no ancestors from Niubi, no title at all, let alone a fiefdom. Only the place of prosperity was in Liaodong, and the Qin Dynasty was called Liaodong. It would be very difficult to research further. Then we can't call the country Liao. After all, the former Liao country is called barbarian in today's terms, and it doesn't deserve it.

In the end, Wang Yan made the decision to go directly to China. Some ministers felt that something was wrong and wanted to be consistent with the previous dynasty, similar to the Da Yuan and Da Ming, and create a Da Hua.

The king said no. He was the founding emperor of the country. What he said was what he said. What could he do if he did not respect the previous dynasty? Besides, his future territory will be so big, I don’t believe anyone can let China fall. Besides, if it weren't for the inappropriate words China and Zhonghua, he would have wanted to call it this.

As for the national flag, Wang Yan didn't do anything like the Ming Dynasty, like the sun and moon flag, the five elements flag, this or that. Wang Yan decided on one, and he drew it with his own hands, 'Five-clawed golden dragon, rising from the east with the sun'. The background is blue, the golden dragon is bright yellow, and the rising sun is red.

A group of women, children, etc. are all titled concubines, princes, and princesses. Wang Yan knighted all high-ranking civil and military officials and ministers. Of course, his title here is just a purely honorary title. At most, he can get a little salary increase, but nothing else.

Among these people, Sun Fugui was the happiest, because he had followed Wang Yan all the way to where he is today, and no matter who he was, he was not as senior as him. Now that he has finally achieved something, he is naturally proud of it.

Moreover, he also likes the title given by Wang Yan, which is the 'British Duke' who he used to study other people's ways of survival when he had nothing to do. Such a title has been with the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years.

As for the amnesty for this and that in the world when he first came to power, Wang Yan did not have such immature ideas. After all, his men have worked hard for millions, and all the people in prison have joined them. Who does he let go to work?

The most important thing was to select women from all over the world to enrich the harem. As Wang Yan came to power, the order had been issued. It’s all thanks to the system’s living father, Wang, Emperor, Yan, that he realized his great wish that he never dared to dream of before. He is thirty-eight years old this year, and he is still in his prime. He can really enjoy himself... Well... the words I prepared for my son's name may not be enough...

In general, there was nothing different except that Wang Yan held a ceremony to legally clarify his role as emperor.

If I have to mention one difference, it is that the way I call myself has changed from 'I' to 'I'.

Wang Yan was not used to it at first, but as the call lasted for a long time, he got used to it and now claims to be very proficient.

Another point is that when he was wandering around the harem, the emperor was somewhat excited when he heard the sounds, which once caused his combat effectiveness to decline slightly...

But even if his combat effectiveness declines, he is still a fighting chicken among cocks.

Mainly, it was a kind of inner satisfaction, a huge achievement, and Wang Emperor Yan was somewhat unable to hold it back...
