Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 840 Enthroned as Emperor
In November 199 A.D., as the troops of Wei Yan and Zhang Yan of Zhu Weijun attacked Yecheng, Yuan Shang fled to Youzhou in the north. After a while, the remnants of Yuan Jun in Liyang also voluntarily changed their banners and surrendered.

Afterwards, under Zhu Wei's handover, the whole territory of Yizhou surrendered, so the battle of Zhu Wei's northern expedition to Yuan Shao was considered to be over for the time being.

Next, Zhu Wei took the army into Yecheng, sorted out the old people left behind by Yuan Shao, and reassigned the officials of Bingzhou, Yizhou, and Qingzhou counties and counties. It took more than a month to let Bingzhou, Yizhou and Qingzhou, the three newly acquired places, are once again under the control of the official system.

During this period, Zhu Wei personally visited two celebrities, Ju Shou and Tian Feng, in Yecheng, and finally let them serve as officials under Zhu Wei's account.

In this way, after basically stabilizing the situation in the north, Zhu Wei left Zhang Liao's troops to be stationed in Nanpi of Bohai Sea before the new spring of 200 AD, in case the three Yuan brothers from Youzhou returned to attack Yizhou, and led the Northern Expeditionary Army to Luoyang. return.

At this time, the original Huyi Battalion Cavalry Battalion was officially divided into two independent cavalry battalions.

Zhang Liao's unit became the Feixie Camp independently, with Zhang Liao naturally as the chief general. Later, Zhu Wei promoted Ma Chao to Feixie Camp's deputy general, and Zhao Yun, Cao Xing, and Sun Bi as subordinate generals. Then he appointed Ju Shuo as the commander of Feixie Camp, taking into account the local government affairs.

At the beginning, the Feiying Battalion had only [-] to [-] light cavalry, but Zhu Wei quickly transferred soldiers from Puyang to the Feiying Battalion, so the number of Feiying Battalion reached about [-] in the end.

Of course, [-] of the newly expanded army can only be infantry for the time being, and [-] of the other [-] cavalry are semi-heavy armored cavalry, which will be used to charge into battle.

As for Zhang Xiu, he was still the leader of the Tiger Wing Camp, but Zhu Wei transferred the newly surrendered generals Zhang Xi and Gao Lan into the Tiger Wing Camp.

General Zhang He will serve as the deputy general of the Tiger Wing Battalion. In the future, he will be in charge of commanding the light cavalry like Zhang Liao, while Gao Lan will be the general of the light cavalry. It is a long history.

Of course, except for the remaining heavy cavalry, the Tiger Wing Battalion on Zhang Xiu's side has basically become an empty shell of light cavalry. Therefore, the Tiger Wing Battalion will return to Luoyang with Zhu Wei to replenish the heavy cavalry and light cavalry. to restore the organization.

This was also part of the reorganization of Zhu Wei's army after he was stationed in Yecheng. It was mainly because Zhang Liao's Feiying Battalion had to stay in Nanpi for garrison, so Zhu Wei immediately replenished Zhang Liao's troops.

As for other ministries and armies, they need to be reorganized slowly. Now that the situation in the world has changed, it is no longer necessary to continue stationing troops in some places, and the stationing of troops will also need to be changed.

For example, in Huainan Shouchun and Xuzhou Pengcheng, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici were originally placed in the front line because they were on the front line. Now that this area has become Zhu Wei's hinterland, it is only necessary to send second-line troops to maintain local security. There is no need to garrison the main force led by Huang Zhong and Tai Shici.

At the same time, the armies of Zhang Yan, Zang Ba, and Liu Pi and Gong Du of Xu Du must also be reorganized. It is impossible for Zhu Wei to allow their armies to remain in their private army status.

Now that the world is almost unified, Zhu Wei naturally wants to control it militarily, so Zhu Wei simply concentrated all the troops to Luoyang.

On the surface, Zhu Wei also found a very legitimate excuse. Zhu Wei will reorganize the central court in Luoyang in the new year of 200 AD. After that, there will be a big military parade to celebrate the New Year, so the army will gather in Luoyang together. Naturally it is also necessary.

Of course, Zhu Wei released the news in private. In fact, Zhu Wei will be enthroned as emperor in the New Year, so the army gathered in Luoyang is also to congratulate Zhu Wei on his enthronement.

The matter of Zhu Wei's enthronement is indeed not casually said, and with the momentum of Zhu Wei now, it's time to ascend to the supreme position.

Although Zhu Wei is still serving as the Regent Mingwang and issuing various decrees in the name of the Han court, Zhu Wei does not have any emperor of the Han Dynasty, so naturally no one will jump out and claim to be the new emperor of the Han Dynasty at this time.

In this way, there is no master in the world, and no one can threaten Zhu Wei's superiority. It can be said that Zhu Wei's ascension to the throne is the trend of whoever can give me.

If Zhu Wei is not enthroned as emperor, it will lead to more careerists and create more chaos as time goes by. Only after Zhu Wei ascends the throne, can the new dynasty with the orthodox name stabilize the world .

Therefore, when Zhu Wei was still in Yecheng to stabilize the situation in the north, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Lu Su, Xu Shu and other resourceful people had already begun to persuade Zhu Wei to come in. In addition, Wang Yuyan in Xiangyang also sent letters, which were also persuading Zhu Wei can ascend the throne in Luoyang.

So Zhu Wei didn't shirk, and he was ready to take the throne in the new year of 200.

Now that Wang Yuyan has received Zhu Wei's order, she has already moved the core political organization that remained in Xiangyang to Luoyang. Even Wang Yuyan herself went to Luoyang to preside over the overall situation after arranging the situation in the south, and prepared the preliminary matters for Zhu Wei's ascension to the throne. .

At the same time, Wang Yuyan is also using the school office to carry out means to build momentum in various parts of the world, such as auspicious omens, heavenly scriptures, etc., anyway, they are some mottos such as the coming of the Ming King and the world's peace.

In this way, it is only by the way that this kind of news is also released among Zhu Weijun.

In this way, Zhu Wei returned to Luoyang in the New Year of 200 AD. At first, he pretended to live outside the renovated Luoyang Palace, saying that he had no intention of overstepping.

Then, Zhu Wei first restored the central court establishment of the Han Dynasty, but the officials at all levels were actually served by people from Zhu Wei's side, and Zhu Wei also presided over the New Year's opening ceremony as the regent Mingwang.

It's just that on the day of the opening of the dynasty, all the ministers knelt down and begged Zhu Wei to obey the heaven and be crowned emperor.

According to the old system, Zhu Wei gave three persuasions and three concessions first, and finally ascended to the throne of emperor reluctantly, so that Zhu Wei officially proclaimed himself emperor.

In this way, everything proceeded logically. Zhu Weixia's first order was to change the name of the country to the Ming Dynasty, followed by generous rewards for ministers and martial arts, and then it was an act of buying people's hearts such as amnesty under heaven.

Anyway, the enthronement ceremony basically lasted nearly a month. During this period, Zhu Wei also took advantage of the situation and used means such as officials and titles to make Zhang Yan and Zang Ba completely hand over the power of the private army.

However, Zhu Wei still didn't let them leave the army completely, but took the power of generals into the hands of the emperor with the help of military reorganization.

As for Liu Pi and Gong Du, they were nothing. They were officially incorporated into Huang Zhong's army as generals. Originally, they were secretly supported by Huang Zhong's Huainan camp.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Wei to play the trick of releasing military power with a glass of wine at this time. Zhu Wei knows that if a country wants to be strong, it must pay equal attention to civil and military affairs. If one end loses weight, then the country will definitely have big problems.

So Zhu Wei only controls the generals in his own hands, but he still lets the generals control the army, but he won't let these generals go home and rest...
