Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family
Chapter 543 I went to the Western Regions, ascended the throne and established my capital
The proposal of the second brother Zhang Dingxia did surprise Zhang Yong, as this kid didn't like military matters much before.
Unexpectedly, when Xizhen's matter was mentioned this time, he actually became interested and even offered to make use of his identity as a great prophet.
So does he want to go to the Western Regions?
"Father! Although I am your son, I look completely different from the people in the Central Plains. You have told my brothers and me before that you would divide us into different places. Why not give me the Abbasid region?" Zhang Dingxia said.
He had no chance of inheriting his father's throne as emperor because his family background was not noble. Although his mother was a princess, she was only a princess of a kingdom.
The most important thing is that he is not of pure Han descent. He has half Persian descent. Even if he wants to become a prince in a remote area, he would rather be assigned to the Western Regions.
"Our family is in the Western Regions and we do need someone to manage it. But once you go there, you will never see your father and mother again in your life. Are you willing?" Zhang Yong asked.
"This is the best choice. Is there anyone more suitable for the Western Region than me?"
Farmaina gave birth to four children for Zhang Yong. The eldest son has grown up, and the second daughter has also grown up and is married.
Zhang Dingxia also got married not long ago, marrying the daughter of a prominent family in Sichuan and Shu.
The remaining son and daughter were both relatively young, and the son was adopted by Fatima, so the only one who was of the right age to go to the West was the second son.
"I understand. In the next few years, you should stay at home and spend time with your mother!" Zhang Yong said.
Famayna was the first woman he met after he traveled through time. She had been with Zhang Yong since the beginning of his journey. Her son's departure was the biggest blow to her as a mother.
"Second brother! If you don't want to leave, you can stay in the Central Plains!" said the third brother Zhang Dingshu.
The relationship between the brothers is very good. Although they are born to different mothers, they are children of the same father and have received education from their father since childhood.
"The Western Regions needs a family member from our family to go there, and my appearance and bloodline will make the local people more convinced of me. At the same time, I will also implement my father's plan, weaken the local YSL forces, and establish a great prophet group with my father as the core." Zhang Dingxia said.
The biggest problem in the Western Regions is the sects. His father's identity, his father's identity as a divine messenger, or even a great prophet, can be used to suppress other sects.
As long as he had time to implement his father's basic national policy, he could quietly dilute the influence of religion and completely control this land.
"I believe you can do it. You have always had your own ideas. During this period of time, you should follow your elder brother to learn military tactics and how to fight. You are very good at governing a country, but you are still not good at fighting a war." Zhang Yong said.
The second child is good at all other aspects, especially literature. He has read a lot of books and learned a lot of knowledge.
But there are indeed many shortcomings in terms of fighting.
"Father! As for fighting, actually, I don't need to learn too much. All I have to do is train some good generals, and I just need to take them to fight." Zhang Dingxia said.
As a good ruler, even if you are not proficient in fighting, you will have people under your command who are proficient, and you just need to know how to use them.
"You seem to be quite clear-headed. For this Western Expedition, I will arrange a suitable commander and vanguard general for you," Zhang Yong said.
The next Western Expedition will definitely require dividing the troops into two groups, one to attack the Kublai Khanate, and the other to attack the Golden Horde. When attacking the Kublai Khanate, the two armies can be together, but after the Kublai Khanate is destroyed.
One route was to attack towards the Western Regions, while the other route was to attack the Golden Horde. Most of the land of the Chagatai Khanate belonged to the Western Regions.
On the land of Western Liao, she had once left behind a group of Khwarezmian people. Now, more than 20 years had passed, and they had multiplied. Moreover, with the title of Farmaina, she could command these people.
In addition to these local people, there were also some Xixia people in the Western Liao Dynasty who were migrated there by Zhang Yong and Ogedei. These Dangxiang people in the Western Regions were also a warlike nation, and they could be recruited into their own army in the future.
In this Western Expedition, in addition to using the armies of other ethnic groups and the Mongolian army, Zhang Yong also planned to use some Han troops, although the Han troops were not good at long-distance expeditions.
But it is not impossible to fight. As long as they can maintain logistical supplies, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is far stronger than other nationalities. This time, Zhang Yong plans to dispatch 60,000 to 70,000 Han troops, provide sufficient supplies, and then fully use firearms.
"Okay! Let's stop here for today! It's time for you guys to go back to bed." Zhang Yong waved his hand and sent his sons out.
A few days later, after officials from all over the country arrived, Zhang Yong's coronation ceremony was officially held on the selected auspicious day.
At the hour of Mao, Zhang Yong left the palace with Queen Tulanlun, and all the officials surrounded the dragon sedan chair.
The ceremonial guard of several thousand people, with canopies and flags, stretched out for more than ten miles along the official road, reaching no end as far as the eye could see.
Wherever he passed, the soldiers and common people of Daqian bowed to the ground like waves and shouted "Long live the king".
Zhang Yong was wearing the emperor's robe and the emperor's crown. Tulanlun was wearing the queen's phoenix robe and sitting beside Zhang Yong. They rode together on the dragon sedan chair and accepted the worship of all the people.
The people who came to the capital this time included representatives from all over the country. Envoys were sent from the south, north, Central Plains, Sichuan, Hebei, and even Western Xia and Mongolia.
Hundreds of thousands of people came here, and teams from various states also came to watch the ceremony and pay homage. Millions of people gathered in an area of more than ten miles to watch the ceremony and pay homage.
This time they finally saw the true face of the emperor. Surrounded by the crowd, Zhang Yong walked around the city and accepted the kneeling worship of the people.
Zhang Yong sat on the giant Tianzi frame, feeling deeply moved. He had struggled for so many years, and finally, he had arrived at this day.
Enthroned as emperor.
I started my struggle when I just crossed over more than 20 years ago, and finally climbed up to my current position step by step. I finally made it to this point.
Twenty-three years have passed since I traveled through time. I am already forty-three years old and am finally going to sit on the throne of the emperor.
After accepting the kneeling worship of all the people in the city, Zhang Yong came to the hall for offering sacrifices to heaven.
The worship of heaven and earth officially began. The construction of this hall for worshiping heaven began two years ago. It was built according to the highest requirements. It was the place where Zhang Yong specially used to worship heaven and earth.
The entire Temple of Heaven is several dozen feet high.
Ten thousand Daqian Army soldiers were guarding the Temple of Heaven all around, and a large number of soldiers were also on guard on both sides of the avenue leading from the Temple of Heaven to Ye City.
The mighty soldiers all had bright armor, with swords and spears in their hands like a forest, shining with sharp edges. They looked extremely majestic, showing the world the prosperity of the Daqian Empire's military fortunes.
"Your Majesty! Please come to the stage and report to heaven and earth." Tao Jie, along with some important civil and military officials, knelt in front of Zhang Yong.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Nodding to his men, Zhang Yong, wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, walked up to the high platform for offering sacrifices alone.
When Zhang Yong climbed up the Temple of Heaven, the surroundings immediately became quiet.
The first step is to worship heaven and earth.
In front of the altar, Zhang Yong folded his hands over his chest, with his thumbs facing each other, and bowed solemnly on the golden cushion in the middle.
At this time, a master of ceremonies knelt down and presented an incense stick. Zhang Yong took the incense in his hand. At this moment, Zhang Yong, the Emperor of Daqian, who held up the incense stick, represented hundreds of millions of people in the world.
He prayed sincerely to the heavens, asking them to bring blessings to the emerging Daqian Empire.
"God, please bless my vast kingdom to be everlasting, and my country to be peaceful and my people to be safe!
I should carry on the aspirations of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and sympathize with the sufferings of the Chinese people.
Control the energy of the five elements of the four seasons, cultivate the five grains, comfort the people, measure the four directions, open mountains and roads to connect the world...
In the past, the country was in chaos. The Western Xia, the Jin Dynasty, the Mongols, and the Zhao Song Dynasty were all at war. The people were living in misery. The Zhao Song Dynasty was unworthy of its position.
During this critical period for China, I drove out the troublemakers in the north, pacified the Western Xia, wiped out the Jin Dynasty, marched westward to conquer the barbarians in Europe, settled the chaos in the Central Plains, and pacified the rebellious Zhao Song in the south.
Hence, today, our Great Qian Empire was established.
I swear to heaven that the world will have abundant harvests, livestock will flourish, the people will not suffer from hunger and cold, and the country will not be ravaged by war."
When Zhang Yong's loud voice reached the surrounding areas outside the temple, the musicians outside the Temple of Heaven began to play solemn music.
Zhang Yong held a grand ceremony to worship the heaven in the capital city.
All the civil and military officials in the court, and even officials from other local areas, rushed to the capital to attend Zhang Yong's coronation ceremony.
He formally established the Daqian Dynasty and became the first founding emperor of the Daqian Empire, with the reign title Dingwu. "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor."
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor."
Dozens of Zhang Yong's sons also knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhang Yong under the leadership of their eldest brother Zhang Dingguan.
Their faces were filled with excitement. Today was the day their father ascended the throne and became emperor. From today on, they were princes, not princes.
Their identities have completely changed, and in the future they will even be crowned kings.
"Today, I am founding the country and taking the throne. I am naming the country Daqian to repay the gods for their protection.
A grand ceremony to worship the heavens was held here, during which various offerings were made, including jade disks, golden sceptres, livestock, wine, and grains.
I beg the gods of heaven and earth to bless our country of Daqian and bring peace and prosperity to the people!" Zhang Yong said.
All the officials bowed their heads and said, "I beg the gods of heaven and earth to bless us and protect our country of Daqian for peace and prosperity!"
The sacrifice to heaven is now complete.
Led by the commander of the Imperial Guards, they carried out the golden dragon throne and placed it at the gate of the tall main hall of the Temple of Heaven, facing south.
At this point, the sacrifice to heaven was completed and the coronation ceremony began.
Zhang Yong walked down the Temple of Heaven with a solemn expression, then holding the hand of Queen Tulanlun, he came to the main hall surrounded by civil and military officials and sat down on the dragon throne.
All the officials stood in their positions, holding the court boards and forming two groups, civil and military, and first bowed.
When the heavy horn sounded, all officials immediately changed from bowing to kneeling and bowed three times, "Long live the emperor!"
At this time, Zhang Yong, who was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, raised his hand slightly and said, "Stand up."
The trumpet sounded and all the officials stood back. The master of ceremonies began to chant "yes" again, and the officials began to kneel three times and kowtow nine times.
Afterwards, the master of ceremonies brought out the treasure box, opened it and took out the jade seal inside. Zhang Yong's jade seal was carved from pure jade and inlaid with gold edges.
The civil and military officials said, "Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and we, the officials, respectfully present the Imperial Seal."
He followed Genghis Khan and Ogedei, led troops to the West, fought in many battles for many years, hundreds of battles of varying sizes, and experienced countless life and death situations.
What is it for? It is for this day! It is for ascending the throne and becoming the emperor!
Ascend to the supreme position in China.
Finally Zhang Yong did it. Fragments of memories flashed through his mind. He met Qiu Chuji when he first came to Western Liao.
Following Qiu Chuji and others all the way west, they arrived at the expedition camp of Genghis Khan.
He was full of enthusiasm and courage when he joined Ogedei in conquering the Delhi Sultanate. He launched a decisive attack with an army of 500 men against 2,000 Western Xia cavalry.
He presented gunpowder, explosives and other items to help Genghis Khan completely destroy Western Xia. He was rewarded by Genghis Khan and became the King of Guanzhong.
Afterwards, he helped Ogedei fight for power, became the Great Khan of Mongolia, started the war to destroy the Jin Dynasty, seized the Sichuan and Shu regions, and gained the Land of Abundance.
After Genghis Khan's death, he helped Ogedei and plotted to kill Tolui.
For twenty years, he managed the Guanzhong and Sichuan regions, participated in the Western Expedition, destroyed the Russian states, destroyed the Bulgarian Empire, conquered the Kingdom of Hungary, conquered Austria, and ordered Guyuk to attack Rome.
After returning to the Central Plains, he completely took over the Central Plains and Shandong areas, then destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, quelled the turmoil on the grassland, and became the Great Khan of Mongolia until today.
Zhang Yong raised his right arm high, and the attendant beside him hurriedly knelt on the ground, holding the imperial seal high with both hands.
At this moment, millions of cheers of "Long live the emperor" came rushing towards us, shaking the sky and spreading in all directions.
The cheers spread for hundreds of miles, and the people who heard them all set off festive fireworks and firecrackers. The loud noise spread the good news of Emperor Daqian's ascension to the throne to the world.
After the coronation ceremony, Zhang Yong conferred the title of empress.
"The Emperor proclaims: I have received the mandate of Heaven to found a nation and establish a state.
I worked hard to govern the country and did not dare to slack off. I heard that a sage king must establish a successor to inherit the ancestral temple and establish his influence in all directions.
Today, there is the Grand Princess, Turanlun Borjigin, the daughter of the great Genghis Khan.
In the past, you have received the wise mandate, are pious and respectful in managing household affairs, are gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified, and are suitable to establish a long autumn to worship the ancestral temple. Only Borjigin Turanlun has good morals and can be the successor.
Today, I personally grant you the golden seal and phoenix seal, and you will be the master of the six palaces."
After the empress was enthroned, several imperial concubines with high rankings would also be enthroned in the enthronement edict. Tulanlun was the empress, Xiaoyun and Quchi were also concubines, Farmaina, Bahnaya, Fatima, Prasia, Zhang Yong's Western Xia women, Mongolian women, and even some concubines of the Jin Dynasty, as well as the women married from Sichuan and Shu, and Jiangnan, all got titles.
Next came the enthronement of civil and military officials. The position of prime minister did not appear among Zhang Yong's profiles, and all official positions basically followed the titles of the Jin Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty.
Everyone's official titles were promoted. Tao Jie, Zhang Danshen, Xu Haifeng, Zhen Huaxin, Liu Tianyu, Liu Heima, and Shi Tianze, who had always followed him, were all given titles.
The Mongolian generals under Zhang Yong, including several commanders of ten thousand households, Chatohua, and Bater, were also divided into dukes at the same time, and their fiefs were in Tubo and Qinghai.
Zhang Yong looked at the sun in the middle of the sky. The sunlight shone on his body, and the bright yellow dragon robe glowed with golden light.
The coronation ceremony has reached its final stage. After the queen is officially enthroned, the country will have an emperor and a queen.
After rewarding the ministers, the entire country had the motivation to keep running.
After the coronation ceremony, Zhang Yong held a banquet in his palace. All officials, big and small, and even those from other places, were eligible to attend the banquet.
Even for some people from outside the city who came to watch the ceremony, Zhang Yong had people cook some food and then distribute it to ordinary people.
From today on, Zhang Yong's identity officially changed and he became the supreme ruler of China, the supreme emperor.
The news of Zhang Yong's enthronement spread quickly across the country. In just one month, it spread throughout the country. A real country was established.
They are no longer a vassal state of the Mongol Empire. Now the Mongol Empire has been incorporated into the Daqian Empire. The emperor of the Daqian Empire, Zhang Yong, concurrently serves as the Emperor of Central Plains and the Great Khan of Mongolia.
A new chapter has been opened.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Yong issued an order for a general amnesty. Except for some death row prisoners and those sentenced to serious punishment, all prisoners were released. This was a great show of the emperor's grace!
At the same time, half of the taxes were waived nationwide, and all taxes on the crops grown by the people this year, or the cattle and sheep they raised, were halved.
On the Mongolian grasslands, Zhang Yong also began to implement a taxation system. All Mongolian herders had to pay taxes, but the taxes they paid were much less than what they had paid to the Mongolian noble lords before.
On the Mongolian grasslands, except for some nobles who have not given up, all the people have already turned their hearts to Zhang Yong, and they don't care about anything else.
They only knew that after Zhang Yong ascended the throne, he brought them tangible benefits, allowing them to obtain more cattle and sheep and no longer have to pay so much tax.
At the same time, Zhang Yong also began to migrate Han people to the land of Western Xia and some Mongolia, and built water conservancy projects with his disciples.
The entire Guanzhong, Tubo, Xixia, Sichuan, Jiangnan, Yunnan and Guizhou, Central Plains, Hebei, and Mongolia are now connected to form a huge empire.
The newly established empire of Zhang Yong had an extremely vast territory, far surpassing the Song Dynasty.
On the same day that Zhang Yong ascended the throne, the former Southern Song Emperor Zhao Yun was also arranged to drink poison and commit suicide.
Of course, it was announced to the outside world that the emperor of Zhao Song had died.
The whole world was celebrating the birth of the new emperor and the establishment of the new dynasty with lights and decorations.
A new empire emerged. Zhang Yong founded the Daqian Empire and made Daxingfu, also known as Dadu, its capital. (End of this chapter)
