Boom!

When Chen Baxian's Chen army began to be defeated, the gates of Hefei City also opened quickly. Xie Yan led [-] fresh troops to counterattack, helping the cavalry of the Huai army, and speeding up the defeat and extermination of the enemy army.

"Chen Baxian is dead, why don't you give up your weapons and surrender?"

Yang Kan's voice echoed in the battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles.

The Nan Chen army, which had already collapsed, didn't even have the desire to resist after hearing these words, and was continuously broken up and incorporated by the cavalry led by Cao Jingzong.

Groups of Nanchen soldiers knelt down and surrendered, and some routs fled in all directions. The cavalry of the Huai army, led by the generals, chased them like a net.

After about an hour or two.

In the battlefield tens of miles around Hefei City, the situation of fighting and fighting gradually calmed down.

The battle between Yang Kan, Xie Xuan and the ninth-rank general Nan Chen had already ended when Chen Baxian fell.

at this time.

Zhuge Jin and Pei Ju led the civil officials in Hefei City to assist the army in counting the results of the battle and counting the casualties.

"Congratulations to General Yang, a hundred thousand cavalry are invincible. In less than half a day, they defeated Nanchen and Chen Baxian. This is the achievement of destroying the country!"

With a smile on his face, Pei Ju took the initiative to congratulate Yang Kan.

At this time, everyone was in the gate tower at the top of the city.

Outside is a battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The stench of corpses and blood can make normal people cover their noses and pass by, but for these battlefield generals, this environment has long been used to it.

Xie Xuan was covered in blood and looked exhausted.

These days, he almost relied on his own strength to resist the siege of Nanchen's hundreds of thousands of troops. While preventing the enemy from breaking through the city, it also caused great casualties to the opponent.

This kind of record can already be compared with Wei Xiaokuan who sticks to the jade bi in history.

In addition to Xie Xuan, Zhuge Jin and his son also attended.

Yang Kan waved his hand immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Pei Shangshu is too famous. This battle can destroy Nanchen. It is mostly due to the credit of General Xie and you. If you didn't stick to Hefei and drag Nanchen's hundreds of thousands of troops head-on, what would happen today?" Victory?"

"The course of this battle, I will definitely report to the king in detail, especially the credit of General Xie, which cannot be denied!"

As a general, what he pursues is military exploits.

Especially in the Huai army, if soldiers want to be promoted, they need military exploits, and if they want to obtain more advanced cultivation methods, they still need military exploits.

The more military exploits, the higher the status in the army, especially now that King Huai is about to establish a country, the generals in the army are waiting for the canonization when the country is founded, and then they will be conferred with military merit.

If Yang Kan gets the merit of destroying the country of Nanchen, when the country is founded in the future, a Marquis can get it steadily.

However, Yang Kan has no intention of taking other people's credit for himself.

In particular, Xie Xuan is the Xie family of Chenjun, the head of the family, Xie An, has defected to the king, and will definitely become an important minister in the court in the future, with a deep foothold.

In terms of emotion and reason, Yang Kan must make friends with him.

Xie Xuan could also feel the other party's overture, so he immediately cheered up and bowed his hands to express his thanks.He had just joined the Huai army, and he really needed a credit to gain a firm foothold in the army.

After a while of courtesy, the two sides agreed to divide the credit for this time.

Among them, Xie Xuan is the first contribution, Yang Kan is the second contribution, and the contributions of Zhuge Jin, father and son, and Pei Ju rank below the two.Pei Ju has already taken the Ministry of Rites of the Sixth Division of the Central Committee, and even if he makes more contributions, he will not be able to enter the three provinces.

As for Zhuge Jin and his son, they only wanted to enter the Huai Army in a safe and sound manner at this time, so they had no objection.

At this time, the results of the statistics of the battle results and casualties were also sent up.

There are too many soldiers in Nanchen, and I want specific casualties and a list of seized materials. I can't count them in a few days, and what I have sent up now is only approximate figures.

The purpose is to deliver the good news to Duke Huai first.

Pei Ju took the roster, glanced at it, and smiled even more, and said: "This battle defeated Nanchen's main force in one fell swoop. The battlefield stretched for dozens of miles. Before Nanchen attacked Hefei, he claimed to have 40 soldiers and horses! Now The 40 army was wiped out!"

"When Nanchen's army attacked the city, it lost about 20 soldiers and horses. Today, there are tens of thousands of casualties, which is almost a quarter of the battle damage. Even the elite iron army can't bear it! Except for the casualties, our army was killed on the spot. The number of prisoners is close to [-], and other routs are running around... If this good news is passed back to Yangzhou, the king will be overjoyed!"

Yang Kan and Xie Xuan were a little excited after hearing the result.

"Also, Chen Baxian and Wu Mingche of the Chen Army died in battle, the generals Xiao Moke and Zhou Tiehu were captured alive, and Hou Andu, Yu Shiji and Chun Yuliang are nowhere to be found!"

"Yu Shiji and Chun Yuliang, even if they escape from the encirclement, it won't have much impact, so don't worry about them. The corpses of Chen Baxian, Wu Mingche, and the captured Xiao Moke and others must be escorted back to Yangzhou immediately!"

Apart from these.

When Pei Ju ordered people to count the results of the battle, he also asked some of the cavalry of the Huai Army and the Hefei garrison to quickly dispose of the corpses left over from the battlefield inside and outside the city wall.

If it is the corpse of one's own soldiers, find a nearby place with beautiful mountains and rivers for collective burial.

The corpses of enemy soldiers were also disposed of quickly to prevent the corpses from decomposing and causing plague.

Fortunately, the weather at this time has just started spring, and the hot summer has not yet arrived. Otherwise, the disease caused by the decay of more than [-] corpses from the two armies would have already caused a plague to break out in Hefei.

In addition, although the number of weapons, war horses, and Nanchen's remaining food and supplies captured on the battlefield is not large, this is relative to a force.

It also takes time to do a complete inventory.

"General Yang, although Chen Baxian has died in battle, Nanchen's forces still exist, especially in Chao County, where the families of Chen's soldiers and the rest of the elite are all here."

"I also ask General Yang to send troops to take this place, and immediately send out elites to take over Hezhou and guard against Chang Yuchun's troops of the Ming army!"

Pei Ju finally reminded.

Dangtu, an important town in Hezhou and Jinling, faces each other across the river, and this place is the key point for attacking Jinling from the Jianghuai River.If Chang Yuchun knew that Chen Ba died in battle first, he would definitely choose to cross Hebei and seize Hezhou first.

When Hezhou falls into the hands of the Ming army, they will use this to engage in a tug-of-war with the Huai army.Even if this place cannot be kept in the end, it can still defeat the spirit of the Huai army.

"Understand!"

Yang Kan's expression moved slightly, accepting the other party's kindness.

……

In Yangzhou City.

The hustle and bustle of the morning had just subsided.The common people on the street were still excited, they were all discussing the civil and military officials of the Huai army gathered outside Guiyan Palace in the morning.

After Wang Jing returned to Yangzhou with his group of officials, Shen Yi, Bu Zhi and others who were originally stationed in Sihong also escorted Queen Da Qiao and other concubines from the harem.

Everyone knows that the king is about to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, and the future center of gravity of the dynasty will gradually shift from Sihong to Yangzhou and Jinling.

Before taking Jinling, Yangzhou was the temporary capital of the dynasty.

Although Yangzhou's terrain is not very good, it extends in all directions, is an important node of the Grand Canal, and is famous enough.

More than enough to serve as a temporary capital.

When all the important officials of the Huai army gathered in Yangzhou, under the leadership of Xiao Daocheng, Shen Yi and others, the group of officials made the first persuasion.

Of course, Wang Jing refused on the spot, saying that his talents and virtues were too shallow to ascend the throne.

As for why Xiao Daocheng was the most important person in persuasion, the main reason was that the other party took the lead in persuading him, and he was also the great ancestor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, who had a very high status in history.

Not long ago, the officials knelt down in front of the palace to persuade them to enter, which was the second time.

But anyone who has read history books knows the so-called three times and three concessions.

When it comes to the third persuasion, it is necessary to mobilize the people to show that the people of the world belong to them.

At this time, both the civil and military personnel of the Huai army and the Ming emperor and ministers in Jinling all knew that Wang Jing's proclaiming emperor was imminent.

Guiyan Palace, Chengming Palace.

At this time, Wang Jing was summoning his confidants.

Most of the generals in the army are still guarding in various places, only Pei Sui, Li Shanchang, Fan Yun, and Cen Wenwen put aside their affairs for the time being and rushed from various places.

There are also Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Wang Guangyang, Xie Hui, Gao Yan, Han Xizai and others in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have already ordered the servants and craftsmen to build a high platform thirty miles outside the city and sealed off the four directions. The etiquette of the ministers has also been well practiced... Now there is only one big thing left, and that is the name of the country! It needs to be decided by the king and everyone!"

Gao Yan first came out to report on the construction of a high platform for worshiping heaven and proclaiming emperor, as well as the etiquette and procedures for proclaiming emperor.

These things were originally the tasks of Pei Ju, Minister of Rites.

However, Pei Ju needed to go to Hefei, so these matters fell on Gao Yan, who was a real prime minister, and it was easy to handle these matters.

He led officials at all levels of the Ministry of Rites and quickly completed the task.

At this time, there is only one thing left for the Huai army, and it is the most important thing, and that is to determine the name of the country.

Shen Yi murmured: "The name of any country is either determined by the name of the place, such as Daqin, which is named after living in Qin for generations; And set the name of the country! Like Tang Guogong Li Yuan, Sui Guogong Yang Jian..."

"Jianghuai rises from the king, if the name of the country is determined by the name of the place, it will be the word "Huai". But the word Huai is too narrow, and the name of the king alone is a bit weak. It is even more inappropriate to establish it as the name of the country!"

When everyone heard Shen Yi's words, they all nodded secretly.

This is very true,
When Wang Jing claimed to be the King of Huaihe, he didn't have all the control over the Jianghuai River.

This title will not work.

And the establishment of a country cannot take the Huai character into account.

"Now that the king has conquered the eastern half of the river, plus the land of the Jianghuai River, if the name of the country is determined by the name of the place, there is nothing better than Chu and Wu!"

Bu Zhi said.

"Chu State, Wu State... are also too narrow, and the orthodox Chu State is still in the land of Jingchu. If our army claims to be Chu State, wouldn't it make the world laugh!"

Han Xizai said quickly.

All the people speaking at this time are people who are familiar with various classics.

However, the country titles they choose are all based on place names and titles, but if you start from these two aspects, the country titles don't sound very good.

"I heard that there are also examples of using prophecy to determine the country's name. For example, Kublai Khan used the Yijing's Dazai Qianyuan as the basis to name the country Dayuan. Well, if our army uses Dagan as the country's name, there may be something wrong. ?”

Wang Jing watched the people continue to discuss, his heart suddenly moved, and he said slowly.

In the world of Shenzhou, the dynasties after the Warring States Period have basically descended, and they have no differences in choosing the name of the country.

But for a dynasty like Wang Jing who started from scratch and has never appeared in history, we must first exclude the dynasties that have already appeared in the Shenzhou world.

The best way is to use prophecy or religion to consider, just like the Great Yuan, Great Ming, and Great Qing.

Ming Dynasty took Mingjiao's Ming characters, and it also has the meaning of the sun and the moon shining in the sky, illuminating the great thousand, which sounds very good, while Dayuan and Daqing are both national names established by prophecy.

Da Yuan, the acquisition is the great Qian Yuan, which is vast and boundless, which just sets off the unprecedented vast territory of Da Yuan.

And Da Qing was very afraid of Ming, in order to restrain Ming's fire virtue, so he specially took the word "Qing" to restrain fire with water.

in the hereafter.

Wang Jing has read a lot of hegemony stories, in which the title of the protagonist Liguo, Dagan, Dali... all sound good.

"Daqian, the meaning of the king is to take the meaning of heaven and earth? Doing is the sky, and the sky covers the four levels, covering all directions, and has the style of unifying the world. I feel very good!"

After hearing this, Shen Yi thought about it, and felt that this country name had a good connotation.

Wang Guangyang on the side read silently for a few times, and said: "Daqian, the connotation is indeed good, but it sounds like a "former" dynasty, which is quite taboo and unknown!"

Wang Jing, Shen Yi and other people in the hall frowned upon hearing this.

Indeed, if Dagan is used as the title of the country, it will become a "big former dynasty" in the mouths of other forces, and people can laugh to death.

"Then according to Mr., what country name should we take?"

Wang Jing frowned slightly and asked.

"I think that the title of the country might as well be "Xia"!"

"Xia is the first country name in history, and the first dynasty in history... In addition, the Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan Shu said: Xia, Da Ye. China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of obedience. , it’s called Hua.”

"There is also a record in the Shangshu: Mianfu Huazhang is called Hua, and the great country is called Xia."

"Finally, Xia is also the old name of the east of the Central Plains. The king rose to the east of Shenzhou, and took Xia as the title of the country to rule the east. Whether it is a prophecy or a place name, it is very suitable!"

Wang Guangyang said respectfully.

Summer!

Wang Jing pondered in his heart, if he took the word Huaxia, Daxia really sounded much better than Dahua.

And those who came to the world of Shenzhou were basically dynasties after the Warring States period.

The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties never appeared.

The name of the Shang Dynasty...Wang Jing is not a businessman, and Yin Shang has a bad reputation in history books. Taking Shang as the title of the country will definitely be subconsciously rejected by celebrities and scholars all over the world.

In the Zhou Dynasty... there was Wu Zetian's Wu Zhou, Chai Rong's Hou Zhou, and Yuwen's Northern Zhou, and the word Zhou was also somewhat used.

It is the word Xia. Except for Xixia in the Song Dynasty and Dongxia in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, few people take this name.

"I think what Mr. Wang said makes sense..."

At this time, Shen Yi also voted in favor of Wang Guangyang's suggestion.

Wang Jing thought for a moment, then glanced at everyone in the hall, seeing that Gao Yan, Han Xizai, Xie Hui and others had no objections, he immediately made a decision.

"Okay, since that's the case, then take Mr. Wang's words and name the country Daxia!"

"Your Majesty has decided!"

All the officials in the hall bowed down.

After determining the name of the country, the next step is to change the emperor's crown uniform, change the flags in the army, and the dragon flags in various places in Yangzhou...
