Chapter 323 The Unification of the World (The Finale)
Chapter 323 Unification of the World 17 (The Ending)
The political reforms in Jiangnan District are very consistent with Han Zhongwei's wishes. Now he only needs to reform the army in Jiangnan District. Even if Jiangnan District integrates into the big family of China... But Han Zhongwei cannot take the initiative to provoke trouble. After becoming the mayor of Jiangnan District, Zhao Rong cherishes this hard-won position very much. He is very respectful of Han Zhongwei and will not take the initiative to cause trouble. As for what he said before, he would never mention it.
Therefore, Han Zhongwei needs an opportunity, an opportunity to take back the military power of the guards. If you want to take it, you must first give it. If you want to regain the command of the Jiangnan army and completely unify the world, you must first mobilize the army in the Jiangnan region. As long as the army in the Jiangnan region moves, Han Zhongwei can take advantage of the situation.
Han Zhongwei summoned his subordinates to give advice for him. As a result, he analyzed it based on various intelligences. It was impossible to mobilize the army in Jiangnan District and let them take the initiative to provoke the guards. After Zhao Rong's destruction and establishment incident, he seemed to mature overnight. Although he might still be a little unfamiliar in government affairs, he firmly believed that he would never be an enemy of Han Zhongwei.
In recent years, the world has been peaceful. Han Zhongwei's childbirth plan was carefully arranged by Wu Cui'er. In four years, he was the father of 85 children, including 65 sons. China's development is also in order. Under his governance, the living conditions of the Chinese people are getting better and better. Although Han Zhongwei's various taxes are set very low, the national treasury is becoming more and more sufficient, especially commercial tax, which has become the main support in the national treasury.
In the territory under Han Zhongwei's actual control, all the official roads were transformed into cement roads. The improvement of the road surface allowed four-wheeled carriages to be vigorously developed in China. It is precisely because of this that the travel of merchants has become easier, and they have more convenient and safer delivery of goods. The convenience of logistics has allowed their goods to be circulated faster, the product supply distance is farther, and the money they earn is also more.
Han Zhongwei introduced many postmodern policies, such as special economic zones, establishment of a reporting system for the people, and engaging in infrastructure construction. It can be said that in recent years, the entire China has shown a thriving scene. Of course, this is limited to the areas controlled by Han Zhongwei. For example, the Mongolian Khanate has not achieved satisfactory development in recent years, but this is not a question that Han Zhongwei needs to consider. He has made enough profits in Mongolia and has successfully cultivated the inertia of Mongolian men.
Han Zhongwei was not anxious about the affairs of the Mongolian Khanate, but some people were anxious. Compared to a few years ago, Jamuka was more eager to change the current situation of the Mongolian Khanate. Although the people of the Mongolian Khanate are living well now, the more they are like this, Jamuka feels more afraid. If the Mongolian Khanate continues like this, the country will be dissatisfied.
Therefore, Jamuha goes to Zhongdu to see Han Zhongwei once a year. In name, he reminisces with Han Zhongwei, but in fact he applies to Han Zhongwei for incorporation into China year after year. However, Han Zhongwei has always rejected him on the pretext that Jiangnan District did not completely take it back, and Jamuha has never given up.
This year, Jamuha went to Zhongdu again. He originally had a try-out attitude, but he didn't expect Han Zhongwei's attitude to relax this time. Jamuha was overjoyed. It was not a question of what he asked for, but no matter what conditions Han Zhongwei raised, he would agree for the future of the Mongols.
Han Zhongwei's conditions were very simple. He asked the Mongols to open the way for him, first annex the Western Liao Dynasty, and then destroy the Turpan tribes. Then Mongolia would directly border with Jiangnan District. Although this bend was a bit big, Han Zhongwei thought it was worth it. Although Zhao Rong was much more mature than before, his governance philosophy was somewhat different from his own. He also regarded Jiangnan District as his private territory, which was undesirable.
Jamukha had no objection to all the conditions of Han Zhongwei. After the spring of 1209 AD, the 200,000 cavalry of the Mongolian Khanate suddenly launched an attack on the Western Liao. The Western Liao, which was originally the remaining mountains and rivers, would it be the opponent of the Mongolian cavalry? In just one month, they were beaten directly by the unstoppable Mongols. The various tribes of Turpan were even more vulnerable. The Mongol cavalry passed by their territory just like a whirlwind and achieved a complete victory.
In one and a half months, Jamukha basically completed Han Zhongwei's conception. Now the Mongolian cavalry is approaching Sichuan Province in Jiangnan District. Because Jiangnan District is a highly autonomous region and Jiangnan District has a high degree of autonomy, even if it encounters a war, it can only deal with it by itself.
Facing the world's number one Mongolian cavalry, how could the Jiangnan army resist? In the first day of the first day of the lunar calendar, they were beaten to flee by the Mongols. The entire Sichuan Province even took only ten days to fall into the hands of the Mongols. Fortunately, Jamuka gave Han Zhongwei a lot of face, and his subordinates also knew that this was Han Zhongwei's territory, so after occupying Sichuan Province, they did not do anything like burning, killing and plundering.
But even so, Zhao Rong was scared silly. The Mongols never thought that the Mongols far away in the north would attack their Jiangnan District. What should I do now? Will the Mongols fight Lin'an? Zhao Rong understood, Empress Dowager Yang was panicked, Zhen Dexiu was panicked, maybe Liu Zheng had to be sure.
Three of the four district chiefs were in a panic and were in a state of silence. Then the opinions put forward by Liu Zheng were easily adopted by them. Liu Zheng asked Han Zhongwei for help and asked the guards to enter Jiangnan District.
"This will completely lose control of the army." Zhao Rong was obsessed with control of the army. It was Han Zhongwei who destroyed the Jin Dynasty and Xixia by controlling the army. Is it now the Jiangnan District turn?
"Correspondent Zhao, do you think our army can stop the Mongols without asking for help?" Liu Zheng sneered.
The three of them were sad. The army of Sichuan Province could occupy three points in Jiangnan District. Now Sichuan has only blocked the Mongolians for ten days. How long can other troops in Jiangnan District stand? Twenty days?
"Actually, the king of the country has established our status. What does it matter if there is an army? If the guards are not allowed to come forward now, and when the Mongols control the entire Jiangnan District, we will have nothing." Liu Zheng calmly analyzed. His words completely defeated the defense line of the other three people. Yes, as long as his status can be passed on to his sons and grandchildren, is it still necessary for the army in Jiangnan District?
Zhao Rong did not hesitate this time, and he immediately asked Han Zhongwei for help. Of course, Han Zhongwei would not do a loss-making business. He took the opportunity to propose to Zhao Rong that the appointment and removal power of officials in Jiangnan District would be taken to the central government. The four district mayors only had the right to suggest but no decision-making power. Of course, Han Zhongwei repeatedly guaranteed the matter of their own interests that they were most worried about and absolutely fulfilled his promise.
Now that things have come to this point, what else can Zhao Rong do? He can only watch his rights be eaten by Han Zhongwei step by step, hoping that Han Zhongwei will be at his last bottom line.
Zhao Rong promised to be happy, and Han Zhongwei's escort army was not even in the process of dispatch. After the Fengxiang Military Region's escort army was dispatched, a scene that surprised everyone happened. Jamuha actually led 200,000 troops to surrender to the escort army.
This news made everyone unable to understand. Many people believed that the guards would compete with the Mongols in a bloody battle. The Mongols had the most powerful cavalry in the world, and Han Zhongwei had the most sharp firearm. When the two strong men met, who would win the death of death? But no one could have expected that Jamukha would surrender, and led the entire Mongolian Khanate to surrender.
Of course, Han Zhongwei would not refuse Jamuha's surrender. If Jamuha was conquered, it would be equivalent to unifying the world. In the remaining Dali, Han Zhongwei just sent an envoy, and the other party agreed to change Dali to Yunnan Province in China.
"Master, I'm so happy." Although Ding Chuan knew some clues in advance, the speed of the development of the matter almost made him stare out.
"Yes, Mongolia, Xixia, Jin, Song, Western Liao, Turpan, Dali, and Dali were finally merged into a complete country." Although Han Zhongwei had long thought that there would be such a day, when this day really came, he was still very excited. Even if he was a time traveler, he could accomplish such a feat, and it would not be in vain to live in ancient times for more than ten years.
The world was unified and Han Zhongwei was unstoppable to proclaim himself emperor, but in terms of political system, Han Zhongwei no longer adopted the feudal system, but was preparing to adopt the constitutional monarchy. Since he had come to this era, let's make his time travel more practical and introduce systems such as the Senate, court, parliament.
Perhaps people were not suitable for this new system at the beginning, but Han Zhongwei believed that in ten, twenty, or even fifty or one hundred years, this system would guide China to always stand at the peak of the world, which is what Han Zhongwei most hopes to see.
