Chapter 792: Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is all Great Ming!

~9 min read 1,645 words

August, 345 AD.

Ran Wei, even though it was established under Zhang Cheng's advance planning, still didn't stop the progress of history and eventually perished.

And its existence, although like a meteor, still left behind a shocking statement.

Any of the six barbarians inside or outside who dare to bear arms, behead them!

After several days of planning in the court, a lucky day was finally chosen.

Under Zhang Cheng's three pushes and three refusals, Ran Zhi announced his abdication, and Ran Wei officially perished in the long river of history!

And taking its place was Ming, Great Ming!

Ascending the throne as Emperor, after Zhang Cheng established the country, he enfeoffed the Ran clan as the Duke of Eternal Peace!

Reforming the court, abolishing the Three Excellencies, Zhang Cheng, besides building the Six Ministries, also had places like the Military Commission and the Cabinet.

The two sides, one managed internal affairs, the other was responsible for troops and horses, not belonging to each other.

As for the subordinate counties, they all began to improve; military officials guarded, civil officials governed the land.

Just when Great Ming was like a newborn sun, beginning to shine on the world, the envoy of Eastern Jin came.

In the court, the Eastern Jin envoy looked at the person sitting on the throne before him and immediately opened his mouth: "Respectfully..."

"Wait, don't respect yet, I want to ask, you don't know, I have ascended the throne?"

Stopping the envoy's words, Zhang Cheng could not help but open his mouth.

And hearing Zhang Cheng say this, the Eastern Jin envoy fell silent, because what did he mean by this?

But looking at the envoy, the Great Ming court officials all laughed one after another, because the Emperor was wanting benefits!

"This..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, the envoy was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth: "This envoy, look, my Great Ming is also built by Han people, now grain and grass are insufficient, why not send me a million shi of grain?"

"I can't make the decision on this!"

Suddenly hearing these words, the envoy was scared into breaking out in cold sweat.

"You can't make the decision? Then what decision can you make? How about ceding Shouchun and other places? I am just worrying about having no place to cross the river to Eastern Jin!"

Looking at the envoy, these words of Zhang Cheng again made the ministers laugh.

"Shouchun? How can this be done? What does the Ming King want Shouchun for?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, the envoy also didn't expect the other party to be so explosive.

"I want Shouchun, of course, to cross the river and fight your Eastern Jin!"

Laughing loudly, Zhang Cheng could not help but tease.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Great Ming military officials laughed even more happily.

After all, their own Emperor really liked to tease people; didn't he see the Eastern Jin envoy was stunned?

"You, you, you!"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng, the Eastern Jin envoy really wanted to say it was insulting to literature, but saw the crowd staring at him with tiger-like eyes, and immediately gritted his teeth: "I need to go back and report to the Emperor!"

"Report to whom? Your Emperor? Isn't the power of your Eastern Jin mastered by aristocratic families? Wang, Xie, Huan, Yu, the four great families, they Sima clan, what qualification do they have to govern the world?"

Patting the dragon chair, Zhang Cheng could not help but lean down and say: "Go back and tell Sima Dan, he has no qualification to be mentioned in the same breath as me, because I am not a puppet emperor, I am the Great Ming Emperor Zhang Cheng, Great Ming where the sun and moon shine!"

"The Emperor is mighty!"

Emitting a roar, the military officials immediately roared.

Watching this scene, the envoy retreated repeatedly, his face turning pale.

Because he didn't expect that someone would tear through Eastern Jin's hypocrisy in a bright and open occasion!

"Roll back, give me a reward, does his Sima clan deserve it?"

Looking at the envoy indifferently, Zhang Cheng beckoned: "Take my Great Seal!"

"Yes, Emperor!"

Accompanied by Zhang Cheng's words, a maid walked up and handed the jade seal forward.

Slowly opening the box, Zhang Cheng held the jade seal symbolizing power in his hand: "See that? Qin lost its deer, the heroes chased it, today the mandate of heaven is in my Great Ming, and not in Eastern Jin..."

"From the time you Eastern Jin moved south, you had already lost the world. Northern Han people will absolutely not acknowledge a dynasty like yours, weak and incompetent, like decaying wood."

Shouting loudly, Zhang Cheng immediately roared: "Roll out of my Great Ming, whatever I want, I will lead my soldiers to take it myself!"

"Roll out of Great Ming!"

"Roll out of Great Ming!" Accompanied by Zhang Cheng's opening, the civil and military officials beside him all roared.

Hearing the crowd's voices, the envoy also left with a face full of fear.

Because Great Ming seemed to be different from other places, they seemed to possess a more barbaric spirit!

Eastern Jin, in the court.

When Sima Dan heard the words brought back by the envoy, he could not help but become angry.

Because he hated others saying he was a puppet most, but this wasn't a lie!

Zhang Cheng: Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the fast knife!

As the aristocratic families controlling the court, the power of Wang, Xie, Huan, and Yu simply verified that sentence, which was that everyone ruled the world together!

"Bastard, he, a beggar boy, how dare he slander me like this!"

Roaring in anger, Sima Dan's words made the ministers below fall silent.

Because the other party didn't say anything wrong, isn't this a fact?

But on the surface, everyone definitely didn't dare to say it in front of Sima Dan, and immediately became silent.

"Emperor, this subject requests, northern expedition to Great Ming!"

Looking at Sima Dan seriously, Huan Wen, who stood out, could not help but become serious.

He once recovered Cheng Han, and now was exactly at the peak of his reputation. Thinking about it, the Great Ming after the destruction of Ran Wei was nothing but a clay chicken and pottery dog!

!

Hearing Huan Wen's words, Sima Dan immediately said: "Good, my Great Jin has such a good minister, what is there to worry about with Northern Ming!"

Just when Huan Wen stood out, everyone also applauded one after another, because he was truly fierce.

How Great Ming was established, it was fought out all the way, you Huan Wen are truly amazing, insisting on going to wrestle with the other party now!

Great Ming, the intense reforms were still continuing.

When countless monks were driven out of the temples, the surrounding land was all distributed to the surrounding people.

Facing all these changes, the people were of course beaming with joy, after all, they not only escaped from the body of a slave, but also turned over to become masters.

As for the tax collection, Zhang Cheng chose to spread the poll tax into the land tax, and officials and gentry paid grain together.

As for whether anyone wanted to oppose it, Zhang Cheng could only say, you underestimate him too much!

Shi Hu was ruthless enough back then, right? Recruiting forty thousand laborers, and no one dared to rebel, just because he was ruthless enough!

But Zhang Cheng, who pressed Shi Hu to the ground and cut off his head, can you say he is a benevolent good person?

If you think so, then the Former Yan Murong clan would be unconvinced!

Monks rebelled, the entire temple was implicated, one person resisted, everyone went to Liaodong.

Return to secular life here properly, if you are unwilling, then go to Liaodong to farm, after all, that place is big, and no one cares if you run!

As for the northern aristocratic families, they dared not sing the opposite tune even more, because now, the monks with the hardest mouths had been beaten into submission by him; those who were unconvinced, you jump out, and immediately the Chiliang Army will come to knock on the door!

After rounds of strong pressure reforms, the status of northern Han people was suddenly raised, their quality of life had a clear guarantee, and they never returned to the scene of living in hell in the past.

Walking in the rice fields, Zhang Cheng looked at the family of old and young carrying hoes, with children in their hands, and could not help but reveal a smile: "If I had seen such a scene back then, I wouldn't have joined the army!"

"So this is the direction we are working for, Emperor!"

Standing beside Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang laughed.

And just at this moment, Zhang Hao ran over wildly and said: "Emperor, run quickly, this subject was discovered stealing melons!"

"Stealing melons, stealing melons, catch them quickly!"

Pointing at the shouting in the distance, a group of people chased after them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng hurriedly turned around and ran: "Zhang Hao, you bastard!"

"Emperor, the melon is sweet!"

While running, Zhang Hao also handed a slice to Zhang Cheng.

And eating the melon, Zhang Cheng could not help but have his eyes light up: "Hey, truly sweet!"

Looking at the two before him, Deng Qiang's mouth twitched, because weren't they here to patrol? How did it become like this!

Standing in the distance, the historian held a pen and said: "In early September, General Zhang Hao stole melons, was discovered by the people, ran away wildly, the Emperor followed, tasted half, called it sweet!"
