Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, the troops of the Southern Liang have withdrawn from Xiangcheng and fled to Yizhou. Now the land north of the Yangtze River belongs to the court. Read М"

Study.

As soon as the battle report from Jingzhou arrived, Chang Wei went to the palace and reported the matter to Zhao Xu.

"Dou Wei, this old fox, never suffers a loss. It's expected." Zhao Xu took a sip of the teacup.

The troops under Ma Han's command, together with the personal troops of the palace, gathered in Jingzhou. Nearly 200,000 troops.

Even if Dou Wei had three heads and six arms, he could not resist.

Rather than losing the troops of the Dou family in Xiangcheng, it is better to retreat.

As the saying goes, if you keep the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land. If you keep the people and lose the land, you will keep both the people and the land.

Without troops, his Dou family is like a chicken without hair.

Both the Xiao family and the Northern Di will despise him in the future.

Instead of doing this, it is better to withdraw to Yizhou and maintain the Southern Liang.

"Hahaha... Your Highness said it in time. Now, we have driven all the powerful families to Jiangnan. Jiangbei will be stable in the future." Chang Wei said. ,

Zhao Xu nodded. This is also the first stage goal he wants to achieve after the establishment of the East Earth Alliance.

The second stage is naturally to fight Britain at sea after the steamship is launched to establish his maritime hegemony in the East Earth Sea.

End the intervention of Dongying and Western countries in Dasong.

The third stage is to cross the river to the south and unify Dasong.

The fourth stage is naturally to expand the sphere of influence of the masses and compete for the world market.

With a faint smile on his lips, he is full of confidence in achieving these stage goals.

He hopes that Dasong will be rich and strong and stand at the top of the world one day.

He also hopes that every Dasong person will live a high-paying life in the future with villas per capita, cars in every family, and one person working to support the whole family.

However, to achieve these, it will take hard struggles and countless blood.

After all, the Westerners who have lived a wealthy life for two hundred years will not give up their interests.

It can be said that for Dasong, the present is the most dangerous moment.

Break through the danger, and Dasong's future will be bright.

Once it fails, a century of humiliation will befall this land, and the people of the West and Japan will eat the flesh and blood of the people of Dasong.

With this thought, Zhao Xu's eyes became more determined.

Since he has come to this world, no matter what the price, even if he has been scolded as a tyrant for thousands of years like Qin Shihuang.

He also wants to revitalize this country and build a scene like the Han and Tang Dynasties, or even more prosperous.

"By the way, there is one more thing. It's time to take back the military power in Ma Han's hands. From now on, there will be no more Ma family troops, only the royal palace army. Zhao Xu remembered something and reminded Chang Wei.

Ma Han was originally the governor of Sizhou, and commanded 100,000 troops. In the long run, he will definitely form a powerful force that cannot be eliminated.

Moreover, he and Ma Han had an agreement at the beginning that there would be no more powerful Ma family in the future, only Ma Han who was loyal to the royal palace.

Since this is the case, his Ma family will naturally obey the orders of the royal palace.

"Ma Han should not have other thoughts, right? "Chang Wei frowned.

Like Liu Fu, he instinctively distrusted the powerful and influential families.

Besides, the Ma family was once one of the eight powerful families.

Zhao Xu smiled, "Just give him this order in the name of the General's Mansion. Ma Han is a smart man and will not do anything stupid. Even if he does, he will not be able to see the rising sun the next day."

"That's right. We have arranged so many orders in the Ma family army. After this period of ideological transformation, it is not certain whether the Ma family soldiers will eventually side with him or us." Chang Wei said slowly.

Then, he saluted Zhao Xu, "I will go back and deal with this matter. "

After Chang Wei left, Zhao Xu came to the map of Dasong hanging on the wall.

His finger drew a line along Jiujiang, and his eyes finally stopped at Jiangbei.

Now, Jiangbei has finally been completely stable, and the plan he handed over at the last court meeting can be fully implemented.

"Your Highness..." When Zhao Xu was thinking, Feng'er and Luan'er walked in with a smile.

Feng'er was holding a red dress in her hand, and Luan'er was holding a jade pendant in her hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu patted his head.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Rites set a date for his marriage. The date is the sixth day of next month.

From now on, there are less than eight days left.

Therefore, the entire Ministry of Rites has been busy, with officials responsible for pre-marriage etiquette such as accepting betrothal gifts, asking for names, accepting good news, accepting betrothal gifts, and asking for dates.

In simple terms, it is to inform the woman of the wedding date and send gifts.

Of course, there are also wedding dresses.

The dress that Feng'er dragged was just delivered by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Highness, you are about to get married, and you should put government affairs aside. With Prime Minister Liu and General Chang here, there won't be any trouble." Feng'er said.

Luan'er nodded, "The Queen will be here soon, and she said she wants to see what Your Highness looks like in this dress?"

Zhao Xu smiled, and had to follow the two back to the bedroom, and put on the red wedding dress embroidered with gold under their service.

Looking at himself set off by red in the mirror, as well as the smiling faces of Feng'er and Luan'er, Zhao Xu said, "I'm getting married, are you so happy? "Of course I am happy. We have been looking forward to your Highness marrying a princess." Feng'er said with a smile. She knew what Zhao Xu wanted to say and said softly, "As long as your Highness does not mind, Feng'er and Luan'er will always serve you. However, we can't replace the princess after all. We are not good at poetry and literature, and we don't know the general situation. What your Highness needs is a good wife."

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at the two of them, "You have never left me and worked hard when I was in danger. In the future, I will leave a place for you two."

Feng'er and Luan'er looked at each other, and Luan'er said: "Your Highness must not do anything forcefully, otherwise my sister and I will feel uneasy if the princess does not like her. Rather than doing this, it is better to be your Highness's maid all the time, which is more relaxing."

Zhao Xu smiled helplessly.

At the moment, he is the regent of Dasong, and after Zhao Heng, he is the emperor of Dasong.

He doesn't need to say anything when the time comes, Yang Susu, as the queen, will also organize the draft for him.

Although he wouldn't want seventy-two concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Ward, he could still settle on a few concubines.

He had no objection to the feudal tradition of three wives and four concubines.

This is not out of the man's selfishness, but for the sake of Da Song's future.

Due to internal and external troubles over the years, Beidi's invasion and oppression by powerful clans.

The number of men in Dasong is less than the number of women.

After this civil war, the number of young people in Dasong will definitely decrease again.

If monogamy is blindly promoted, it will limit the growth of Dasong's population.

And he needs a large number of people to immigrate to the land he will occupy in the future, just like Britain immigrating to America.

Otherwise, the pieces of white ground laid down will ultimately be impossible to hold.

Therefore, not only would he not restrict three wives and four concubines, he would also encourage people to have children, to have children with all their strength, and to have children with all their might.
