Chapter 68: Calligraphy Order

Three days later, a beautifully arranged and grand ceremony was about to be held. This is the hall of Wang Menglong, who was newly planned by Zhang Yu. In Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Wang Menglong will be the King of Jingzhou from today. At this point, he is no longer an unknown person. At this time, the generals in the army include Yang Chuang and Zhang Wuwei who came from Jingnan.

Wang Menglong was wearing a dragon robe, with nine dragons on it, one on the chest, one behind the back, one on the left and right shoulders, two on the front and back knees, and one embroidered inside the collar. He looked like an emperor, and this outfit was specially customized for himself by Wang Menglong. In fact, the matter had already begun to be executed, otherwise it would not have been possible to solve it all in such a hurry now.

Zhao Dehan and his family arrived as promised. Zhang Yu was on the stage wearing the military advisor's robe and a brocade belt on it. However, compared to Wang Menglong's brocade clothes and Huaguan, Zhang Yu's seemed too trivial.

After almost everyone arrived, Zhang Yu stood in the middle of the hall: "Today, it is the ceremony of General Wang Menglong to be the king. Why should he be the king? Today I will tell you a good story. If there is something not worthy of being the king, please tell me, and we must consider your interests!"

Zhang Yu made a simple opening. These opening words were organized together by Zhang Yu, Yu Shantian and Wang Menglong, just to be reasonable and convincing on this occasion.

"Today is July 19, 450, today is the beginning of summer, and today is also the day when my Jingzhou is completely released from the land of Yuguo. I know that everyone is the people of Yu, but it is also the past. Later, Yuguo was occupied by Deng Huang, Deng Hui and his son, and Huang Ge and Ge Yi were in a mess. However, our emperor became a decoration without real power at a young age. Even if our emperor had the will, the court was dark and powerless. Later, there was the Taiwei Dongfang Yi, who was killed just because of the different political views of Huang Ge, Ge Yi and Deng Huang, and none of the nine clans were spared. It is not yet half a year."

When Zhang Yu said this, there was noisy people below, standing neatly in the audience, listening and watching Zhang Yu read the document before the Wang Menglong proclaimed the kingdom.

"Immediately afterwards, the rise of my Imperial Jing army. As I entered the Imperial Jing army from General Xujiang, with the efforts of General Wang Menglong and all the generals, we occupied Jingzhou. The battle in Xiangyang was full of courage. Now we should cheer and encourage us. We are no longer exploited by Yu Guo!" Zhang Yu said. When here, many people began to cheer. This was one of the few times that they said everyone's heart.

"Today, the fourteen prefectures, Sili, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and the Western Regions. This was my land at the peak of the country. At that time, we were our people. But recently, internal and external troubles were internal and external troubles, and we were mourning everywhere. This was not an internal trouble. This was a forced uprising caused by the inaction of Greater Go. Because the people were living in poverty and invading from other places, the taxes continued to increase. The court was still fighting for rights. These were all things we didn't want to see. Recently, what we had to do was to completely submerge Greater Go. We rebuild a peaceful and prosperous country on the Greater Go land. This country must consider the people, farmland, borders, better life, and peace!" Zhang Yu said here, he was really passionate, as if it was a statement from his heart.

"Recently, there are also Fuyu, Xianbei, Faqiang, Wusun, and Xiongnu who are eyeing us, attacking and harassing Youzhou, Liangzhou, and Yizhou, and Japanese pirates, causing trouble to our Yangzhou border. At present, Liangzhou and Youzhou are the main battlefields for the outside world, and the situation is not optimistic. Sili, as a concentrated place of power, is useless. Jingzhou is already under our feet. Yanzhou and Yuzhou are swaying. Yangzhou has been rebelling and cooperating with us. Yizhou is taking over, and Jiaozhou is completely silent. The remaining states are still being pinched by the court. Such a style of conduct will only make us completely helpless and wait for death!" Zhang Yu continued.

These are all Zhang Yu’s analysis of the general trend of the world during his days at the Military Intelligence Department. What we need to talk about next is the issue of being king after becoming king.

"As the various problems I mentioned above, we want a peaceful and prosperous country, but what we want is just right, so the general is just a king, not an emperor. If the position of the emperor is given to the general, then the general is the emperor. If the emperor is threatened or even unfortunate, then the general is still the emperor. If the emperor raises troops to fight, then the general is still the emperor. In short, we are for the people of the world, with tens of millions of acres of fertile land!" Zhang Yu finished half of what he wanted to say. At this time, Zhang Yu looked up at his Zhao Ling, looked at him, his eyes full of envy, and this feeling was always a bit vivid.

Wang Menglong stepped forward and took a few steps, Zhang Yu retreated and gave the documents in his hand to Wang Menglong.

After Wang Menglong took it, he looked at the people of Xiangyang below and continued to talk.

"Now, the two generals and governors of Xu Yang and Song Yi in Yizhou are supervising the battle. There is a joint force between Xu Jiang and Yang Sui and Yan Jiuzhang in Yangzhou. In addition, Deputy Governor Zhang Yu led us to win the Xiangyang Battle and Deng Hui's brother-in-law died. This is our victory. It's a joyful congratulation, and everyone below shouted.

"My king, Raptor, hereby announces that after I become king, all mechanisms will be restored, production and people's livelihood will be restored, and taxes will be reduced to the minimum. If it is a poor family, taxes will be exempted after assessment." The following are another applause.

"Finally, please ask Deputy Governor Zhang Yu to give the final explanation!" Wang Menglong took a few steps back.

Zhang Yu came up and said: "From today on the front line of the supervision of the war, Xiangyang will take Nanjun Jiangling as the capital of our Jingzhou Prefecture. Jingzhou will be divided into Nanyang County, Jiangxia County, Nanjun, Changsha County, Wuling County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County! Each county will place county magistrates in charge of people's livelihood and personnel, and will place military commanders in charge of military affairs. Nanyang District Xinye, Jiangxia District Xiling, Nanjun District Jiangling, Changsha District Linxiang, Wuling District Linyuan, Lingling District Quanling, and Guiyang District Chen County. All the county magistrates are responsible for the county magistrates in charge of military affairs. The rest of the counties will remain unchanged." There are still calls here.

"In addition, in Jiangling County, General Zhang Wuwei was stationed, General Yang Chuang of Xiangyang was stationed, General Xu Yang and General Xu Jiang were divided into generals of the Western Expedition and General Xu Dong, only under the king. Now General Wang Menglong has removed his military post and is in charge of all affairs, and the rest of the matters are improved bit by bit!" Zhang Yu finished speaking.

The ceremony began. Under the witness of the people, Wang Menglong walked to the highest point of the hall, lit incense, bowed three times to the sky, and the crown was shaking in front of his eyes. However, Wang Menglong only had five beads, which were less than the emperor.

"Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord!" The people below began to shout spontaneously, and there were also uniform soldiers shouting.
Chapter completed!
