Chapter 649: Elegant Politics of the New Dynasty

The speed of the unification of the north was unexpected. Bai Lang defeated the Jurchen Jueluo tribe and plowed the court and swept the cave until he reached the North Sea, then went west to the Onon River, swept the entire original Nurgan Regional Military Commission, and finally entered the pass from Zhangjiakou. At this time, Bai Bao had already collected all of Shanxi, and even Shaanxi came to join when Bai Lang entered the pass. Bai Lang himself led troops for a trip, and Bai Bao went south to the Yangtze River.

Bai Lang walked through Guanzhong, and no one dared to block the direction of the horse's hooves. All the cities opened their gates and asked to surrender, so Bai Lang invited them to eat the elegant politics of the new dynasty—officials and gentry should serve and pay taxes together, and by the way, raided the local officials and gentry, and then forced them to exchange. That was to transfer the south to the north, the north to the south, and the big families in the east and west to transfer to each other. It was just not allowed to stay in the local area and completely break up the clan. "Forced separation, in this way, it can always be managed for decades." Bai Lang said.

Bai Lang couldn't take care of the Western Regions for the time being—that was a matter for the future. It was not bad that he could extend his influence to Gan Su and Qinghai now. As for chiseling through the Western Regions in the future, that was another matter—that was the world of the Mongols, the Mao-Mongols, and even the Cossacks. And the Tibetan area was the same, it had to be considered later. What Bai Lang needed to do now was to walk through Han Zhong into Shu, complete the high-rise building of the southern half, and when the time was ripe, he could follow the story of Jin destroying Wu and Sui destroying Chen to go down the river and pacify the south.

Right now, he had to stabilize the north first, and clean it up well—the original rotten meat had to be cut off—and only a new dynasty, and a new dynasty established by force, could do such things. Logically speaking, a guy like Bai Lang who usurped the throne should not be able to be so ruthless, but although he was a usurpation, what was the difference between it and what he fought for himself? Perverse actions, the road is far away, and the deeds done are the same as those of Grand Master Dong. If Grand Master Dong usurped the throne, I am afraid the things he did would not be much different.

One advantage of Bai Lang was that even his subordinates didn't have any military heads with status, only his own younger siblings could be considered to have some strength. So even if it was a reward, the things rewarded could be suppressed to the minimum, and the meritorious families could naturally not become a force—originally this was a disadvantage, but the vast majority of the strength of this army was the unparalleled Bai Lang Bai Yuzhu. As long as Bai Yuzhu was there for one day, he could suppress the world for one day, just like the big sun in the sky.

When Bai Lang returned to the Capital, the remaining ministers in the Capital went out of the city for dozens of miles to greet him—had they thought about taking advantage of this person's absence to find a way to set things right? No one dared... Even if they missed the old dynasty, at most they would drink and cry at home. Otherwise, what could they do? The new dynasty had no literary prison, and even cursing on the street was allowed, but if they were beaten, they had to admit it themselves.

Bai Lang had always been indifferent to such things, even if Bai Bao and Bai Biao advised him to kill a few, he refused with a big laugh, "I just like the way these scholars have to work for me. It's exciting to watch!" Bai Lang also said to his two younger brothers, "My dynasty is also the act of a great man. It was originally a usurpation of the throne, can it still stop the mouths of the world? Let them say it, I suppress the world with hegemony, and they can't curse me to death, hahahahaha!"

Bai Lang returned to the Capital. He had no affection for the Forbidden City. The deep palace and large courtyard were full of yin, and the people living inside were the concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids of the two dead emperors—Bai Lang was not evil after all. He was once the protector of the country, Bai Shaobao. He had played with these women and drove them out. He couldn't do such things. This person couldn't even bear to drive those little eunuchs and old eunuchs out.

He just sent back the palace maids, gave each palace maid a sum of money to settle down, and sent them back to their families. If they didn't want to go home, maybe they stayed in the palace. Eunuchs basically had no way to live when they went out, so Bai Lang didn't disband the eunuchs, he just issued an edict that eunuchs would no longer be used in the palace from now on. He was kind to these people, but ruthless to the gentry. Bai Lang was also a wonderful person—if you didn't want to be an official, you could curse as you pleased in the countryside and towns. If you wanted to be an official, you couldn't curse. So this kind of comedy made Bai Lang laugh happily...

At this moment, he was also living in the West Garden in the Capital. The West Garden had seas, palaces, and large gardens, which were much more open and sparse than the Forbidden City. "Living in the Forbidden City makes the whole person fly-like and dog-like, and the pattern is small." Bai Lang almost never wore a yellow robe. He usually only wore ordinary robes of brown, white, and blue. Unless he held a ceremony, he almost never wore the emperor's crown and dragon robe—but his two brothers who were enfeoffed as kings wore four-clawed dragon robes all day without taking them off.

The servants who served him around Bai Lang were just servants hired with money, not castrated—Bai Lang didn't like being served by eunuchs. His "harem concubines" were served by maids, but Bai Lang didn't isolate them very strictly. His West Garden was more actually guarded by soldiers—the West Garden Army was the new camp built by Bai Lang. He almost established the Eight School Captains of the West Garden...

The central army of the Han Dynasty was always able to fight, and Bai Lang also thought about the state and county armies he led in the late Han Dynasty. His Yanzhou Army and Bingzhou Army swept the world in the past, and now thinking about it, he still missed it a little. Fortunately, there was the Yulin Guard establishment in the imperial court now, which more or less made Bai Lang feel a little comforted. The troops he led now had a general foundation, but under his bonus, they were still okay. In Bai Lang's view, it was better to reorganize them into fully armored cavalry now.

Although there were firelocks now, under the bonus of Bai Lang's White Tiger ghost, his cavalry could greatly enhance their physical strength and power, so they could afford heavy armor that could resist firelock bullets. "It's just that after I leave, I'm afraid this fully armored cavalry will eventually become a swan song." Bai Lang sighed. At this time, the concubine came to find him, and asked Bai Lang to eat—there was no way, this matter could only be treated equally, and it was helpless to arrange shifts to eat and spend the night.

In the name of the late Emperor's marriage, Daiyu now had the status of Empress. Qin Keqing, Er Niang, and San Niang, whom Bai Lang messed with when he was absurd, could only be three of the four concubines. The other women were the women of the late Emperor and the late late Emperor. It was too shameless to pull them in directly—this kind of thing was probably done by Cao Pi and a few bastards of the Gao family and pigs...

"Next is the rather boring recuperation and the implementation of my governing philosophy in all the places I control. This kind of method takes at least three years... Ah, so boring!" Bai Lang really hadn't been an emperor. When he was in charge of one side, he was also known for his roughness, "So we must implement the cabinet system! And my two brothers are very interested in this, so let them manage it for me." ===== CHAPTER 650 =====
