Chapter 150
On March 17, the fifth year of Shenwu, Meng Tian, the Grand Governor of Bingzhou, led the main force of Zuobaotao Guard and the horses of Bingzhou Guards to wipe out the invading army of Zhulu troops of the Liao Kingdom in Luoxiayi, Yunzhong County.
In this battle, he killed the marshal of the southern capital of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Xiu, the general manager of the Zhuolu Division. His eldest son Yelu Xiusheng and more than ten thousand cavalry leaders of the Zhuolu Division, and countless generals below the thousand cavalry leaders... All the 1110,000 cavalry soldiers of the Zhuolu Division were strangled and all the heads were thirty miles outside Luoxia Post and formed a mountain-like Jingguan to shock the Liao people.
The only regret is that Yelu Xiu, the general manager of the Liao Kingdom, was trampled into meat paste by the defeated Liao army and could not be captured alive.
...
Just when Meng Tian annihilated the invading Liao army, a court meeting was also held in the Shendu Ganlu Hall.
"Your Majesty, Su Qin, the governor of the Southern Region, and Lord Su entered the capital last night. He said in the memorial that the countries on the southern region have been sorted out, and the kings and relatives of the southern region have also set off to come to the capital of God. Lord Su asked Your Majesty in the memorial to tell His Majesty what to do next... Please preview your Majesty!" The chief assistant of the cabinet, Changsun Wuji, came out of his chorus, took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Wang Chengen hurriedly walked down the imperial stairs and took the memorial, turned around and walked up the imperial stairs and presented it to Ma Jin respectfully.
Ma Jin took it, opened it and glanced at the ministers in the hall and said, "My dear friends, what do you think you have?"
"I call your Majesty. I think that since the situation in the south of the territory has been decided, I should start to re-dividing the territory on the south of the territory and establishing prefectures and counties, so that the people in the south of the territory can integrate into our Great Zhou as soon as possible!" Kou Zhun, a great scholar at Wenyuan Pavilion, came out to report.
"I think what Lord Kou said is very much. Establishing prefectures and counties as soon as possible in the south of the territory can indeed make the people in the south of the territory have a greater sense of belonging to our Great Zhou, and can also weaken the influence left by the kings in the south of the territory, so that the south of the territory can be governed as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling, a Grand Secretary of the Tiren Pavilion, also came out of the school.
Ma Jin nodded, and he naturally knew the benefits of establishing prefectures and counties in the south of the territory, so he asked again:
"I wonder if you all my dear friends, do you think it is appropriate to set up a state in the south of the territory?"
"When you come back to your Majesty, I think you can set up Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangxi and five prefectures in the south of the territory according to the examples of the previous Han Dynasty. First of all, because there are precedents to follow, the regional division can be completed as soon as possible.
Secondly, the names of the geopolitical dynasties in the south of the territory actually have the shadow of the predecessor. If divided according to the predecessor, this will not only avoid some trouble caused by the newly changed place names, but also make it easier for the people in the south of the territory to accept it." At this time, Di Renjie made a brilliant speech.
"I think this is inappropriate for Master Di Ge. I am worried that the Great Zhou Dynasty can't use the name of Han State. It's really inappropriate!" Gong Hanlin, the Minister of Rites, suddenly came out to oppose.
"Mr. Gong's words are wrong. Why can't our Great Zhou use the name of Han? Didn't the Great Zhou inherit the previous Han?" Wang Dan, the left deputy chief censor, came out of the voyage, and as soon as he finished speaking, he spoke loudly to Ma Jin:
"I agree with what Master Di Dige!
"I agree!" Another official stepped out and said
“…”
Seeing that many officials agreed with Di Renjie's words, Ma Jin nodded and said, "Do you all have any objections?"
"I also agree with what Master Di said, but I think that the southern part of the territory is too vast, so it is better to divide more states.
In the five prefectures divided during the early Han Dynasty, each prefecture had nearly a hundred counties under its jurisdiction. The scope was too large, which not only caused improper government orders and difficult to manage. It would also make the local government offices too heavy and weaken the authority of the court."
"So, my opinion is that in the examples of counties and counties, the re-dividing them at the prefecture level, can achieve the effect that Lord Di said." Fang Xuanling came out and said.
"I agree with Lord Fang's proposal. The old minister had never thought of this just now, and almost caused a disaster. Please ask Your Majesty to atone for his sins!" Di Renjie suddenly went out of duty, first affirmed Fang Xuanling's opinion, and then apologized to Ma Jin.
"What's the crime of Di Qing? Today is just a discussion, not a real deal, so Di Qing doesn't have to take it to heart." Ma Jin waved his hand and comforted with a smile.
"Do you guys still have any objections?" Ma Jin asked again after pondering for a moment.
"My teacher, what Lord Fang said!"
"My minister, please agree!"
"I, I'll discuss it too!"
“…”

Seeing that the ministers in the palace had no other opinions, Ma Jin made a decision:
"Then it depends on Fang Qing's opinion!"
"The Cabinet has formulated a charter with the Privy Council, the Ministry of Rites, the Lifan Court and other relevant departments to present it to me!"
"I will obey the order!" The ministers quickly responded respectfully.
...
That night, the golden crow fell west, and the night was as cool as water.
Although it was already three months, the night in Shendu was still a little chilly. The night wind suddenly rose, and it penetrated from the thin cracks in the uterus window. The cold air entered the body, causing Ma Jin to shivered a few times and couldn't help but tighten the fur that was tightly wrapped around him.
Putting down the memorial in his hand, Ma Jin rubbed his eyes. The light in front of the imperial desk was too dim. Ma Jin turned his head and saw that the red candle was about to end, and only a few lights were left. He frowned and called out:
"Come!"
"His Majesty!"
"Go, bring another palace lantern!"
"yes!"
In a vague way, Ma Jin seemed to hear Wang Chengen scolding the eunuch. He was too blind to the eye. He even added a lamp and asked His Majesty to give him instructions.
After changing to the new lights, his gaze suddenly became much brighter, and Ma Jin turned his eyes to the battle report sent by Meng Tian in Bingzhou. Since he heard the frequent movements of the Liao army during this period, Ma Jin has become alert and will pay attention to the news from the north from time to time.
Since last year, the main energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been on the land of the southern part of the territory. His most important task now is to fully integrate the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible, rather than having a great war with the Liao Kingdom.
If the Liao Kingdom really devoted all its efforts to the decisive battle with the Great Zhou, it is very likely that the Great Zhou's established plan for the Great Zhou Dynasty will be postponed, and it will also bring hope to some people who are unwilling to do so, making them feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall into turmoil again, and it will not be able to calm down in a short period of time.
Therefore, although the Liao Kingdom is constantly acting and provoking the Great Zhou, Ma Jin dare not act rashly. Although the Zhou Kingdom has an absolute overwhelming advantage over the Liao Kingdom, it is also under the situation where the Great Zhou is doing its best. However, the Great Zhou is not only facing the Liao Kingdom.
In order to defend against the sudden invasion of the Southern Region, the Yaoyue Dynasty, the Southern Region, the ulterior motives must be closely watched by those who are ulterior motives in the Southern Region. They must also be always wary of the Daxuan Empire taking advantage of the situation, so that the army arranged by the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Southern Region not only dared not move lightly, but also had some difficulties.
To the east, Qingzhou had just suffered a major disaster, and millions of victims were displaced and hungry for food. The money and food needed were gone.
In the north, Hanhai and other countries were also eyeing each other, waiting for some mistakes in the Great Zhou Dynasty to rush forward and eat a bite and have a full meal.
It's better to be in the west, they are all small countries that dare not touch the tiger's beards of the Great Zhou.
Although the current Great Zhou is on the surface and stands out in the Eastern Region and is arrogant, the mainland is actually a group of people with weak points. Some of them are strong on the outside and the middle, and there are too many things that involve the energy of the Great Zhou.
Ma Jin also hopes that the 100,000 heads that Meng Tian cut off could shock the Liao Kingdom for a period of time so that he could deal with it calmly, otherwise...
