At this time, Ji Yanzhi had already swung his sword at the warlords of various feudal towns.

Ji Yanzhi did not continue to target the Khitan who had already established the Liao Kingdom. There is no way to do this. Focusing on beating foreign races when there are many countries in the hinterland of the Central Plains will only end up with a fire in the backyard. The current Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is not like the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, when the two countries are at war. If they encounter a foreign invasion, they will immediately stop the battle and turn their heads to deal with the foreign race together.

In the face of the ignorance of the warlords in the towns, what can Ji Yanzhi do?

We can only clean up the warlords of the various towns one by one, and then talk about the complete solution of the Liao State. Anyway, the Khitan people are now half disabled by him, and they are in urgent need of recuperation to restore their vitality. Ji Yanzhi no longer stares at them, but points at the warlords of various feudal towns. The Liao country will be very loose. Take a breath.

After Ji Yanzhi succeeded in conquering Luoyang, the capital of the Jin Dynasty in 943, Liu Zhiyuan, who has always been the focus of attention, established himself as emperor in Jinyang (Taiyuan Prefecture) shortly afterwards, and the history of the country is called the Later Han. In line with history, Liu Zhiyuan became the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty and died violently within a year or two. His subordinate Guo Wei took the opportunity to usurp the throne and changed the name of the country to (Later) Han to (Later) Zhou.

Unfortunately, Guo Wei, the founding king of the Zhou Dynasty, was also unlucky. When the emperor passed the position to his nephew, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong in just three years.

As mentioned above, the post-Zhou Shizong Chai Rong in history was a capable man. He set up the lofty ambition to "explore the world with ten years, raise the people in ten years, and bring peace in ten years". During his reign, Hou Zhou concealed the hope of dominating the world. He successively seized the four states of Houshu, the fourteen states of Southern Tang, and Liao. He was an emperor who had no luck and had only been an emperor for five years. He died of a sudden illness on the way to the Northern Expedition to the Sixteen States of Yanyun, which caused Zhou Jiangshan to fall into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin.

This is what happened in history.

And in this world where Ji Yanzhi appeared, after the demise of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan also proclaimed himself emperor in Jinyang (Taiyuan Prefecture), but the only towns under the control of temperance were the states with Jinyang City as the center, not as in history. After the Khitan ransacked the capital Luoyang area and returned to the nest, he took the opportunity to occupy the capital Luoyang, which facilitated the establishment of the later Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty.

In 944 AD, Ji Yanzhi established China as the capital city of Luoyang.

During his reign, Ji Yanzhi reorganized the army, eliminated redundant and weak, invigorated exile, reduced taxes, revised rituals, systems, and criminal laws, and made China’s politics clear and the people prosperous. In just a few years, the economy of the Central Plains Just got it started to recover.

In 945 AD, Ji Yanzhi sent his brother-in-law Murong, Ge Mo, and others to Shu, successfully regaining the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng and Tier.

In 946 AD, he went south to attack Nantang. After the rapid destruction of the country, Shu successfully recovered the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Tier, and it took a little longer to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. This is not to say that the fighting power of the Southern Tang court army is stronger than that of Hou Shu, but that at the same time, there were thieves and bandits in Dingzhou, fighting on two fronts, which naturally lengthened the time.

However, since Ji Yan’s founding of the People’s Republic of China, China has been vigorously developing people’s livelihoods, allowing the country’s economy to develop to a large extent. Therefore, even though the attack on Nantang took longer than I expected, it still successfully won the Jiangbei Huainan ten. Four states.

By 950 AD, all the vassal towns in the Central Plains were basically eliminated, leaving only the Hou Zhou with Jinyang (Taiyuan Prefecture) as its capital.

Historically, Guo Wei, the founding king of the Later Zhou Dynasty, died in 953 AD and took the position in 951 AD, which means that Guo Wei has been emperor only three years after he was founded and died of illness. Here, Guo Wei usurped the Hanjiang Mountains a few years in advance, but whoever became the emperor for a few years has a fate. Guo Wei still only served as the emperor for three years, and suddenly died of illness.

Chai Rong was a good heir, but unfortunately, due to fate, he was also a master who had only five years of emperor's life.

However, in history, Chai Rong was enthroned in 954 and died in 959 on the way to the Northern Expedition in Yanyun Sixteen States. Here, the founding king of the later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei, died last year, which means that Chai Rong's emperor was only one year old. , Is in a situation of ambitious ambition and full of confidence.

So as expected, Hou Zhou met with China.

In superstitious terms, Chai Rong said that he belonged to the Python of Weihualong. The Emperor Golden Dragon could be an emperor for a few years before he appeared, but as soon as the Emperor Golden Dragon appeared, he was very eager to let the Emperor Golden Dragon be his subordinate, and Chai Rong would also Only a violent ending is left.

But Ji Yanzhi, who has gone through countless world reincarnations, his fate has long been beyond the control of Xiaotiandao. As long as he wants to, every minute he can become the son of luck. Coupled with Ji Yanzhi’s methods, he was a hundred times stronger than Chai Rong, who had just ascended the throne. The result was obvious. After a year of fighting with the next week, Jinyang City broke, and the angry Chai Rong committed suicide. The rest of the Chai family led the crowd to surrender.

"Zhao Kuangyin?" Ji Yanzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, he calmly said to Murong's brother-in-law: "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be able to meet people at first sight. It can be seen that Mr. Guo said that he has a good relationship with others and is loved by his subordinates. It’s true."

After completing the unification of the hinterland of the Central Plains, Ji Yanzhi set about the Northern Expedition, and for the convenience of the Northern Expedition, Ji Yanzhi simply moved the capital to Kaifeng Prefecture, Taiyuan, which is Bianjing. Ji Yanzhi himself is not bloodthirsty. After he has breached Houshu and Nantang, he can take the kings of Houshu and Nantang together to stay at the gate of Luoyang Gate of the capital, and he can naturally treat the Chai clan well.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, to be honest, Ji Yanzhi has forgotten which green onion this is since he became the founding king. It's not a derogatory term, it's mainly because Ji Yanzhi really forgot to have such a number one person. After all, how Zhao Kuangyin got to the throne is a bit like a joke of fate.

Chai Rong, the hero, died too suddenly, and the heirs he left behind were too weak. If the master is weak and the servant is strong, the servant will naturally kill the master himself. Chai Rong was able to suppress Zhao Kuangyin, and Ji Yanzhi, the son of luck, was naturally able to suppress Zhao Kuangyin, so the topic came back. Ji Yan really didn't regard Zhao Kuangyin as a green onion in his eyes. Now his expression is slightly playful. The main reason is that Ji Yanzhi did not expect that Zhao Kuangyin would be on the line with Murong's brother-in-law, this is really...

Ji Yanzhi: Blind God, are you sure you didn't deliberately give Zhao Kuangyin a chance to show his eyes?

Xiaotiandao: I am not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!

Xiao Tiandao denied three consecutive years, and Ji Yanzhi couldn't sense it for the time being, so he looked at Brother Murong with a bewildered look. Brother Murong was still talking about his acquaintance with Zhao Kuangyin with gusto. The more Ji Yanzhi listened to, the more difficult he could say, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Brother-in-law, did the thirteenth sister drew your IQ away to the knife when she gave birth to the knife, which has caused you to become more and more honest now. You never thought about it, many times, many times Are coincidences done deliberately?"

Brother Murong's brother-in-law was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he spoke weakly: "It shouldn't be possible, I think others are pretty honest and honest."

"Tsk!" Ji Yanzhi laughed so coldly: "I think my brother-in-law is also very honest and honest on weekdays, but in the end he likes to drink with the 13th sister on his back. Last time, I don't know who caused Mr. Guo to be caught together. My daughter-in-law was beaten."

Ji Yanzhi gloated over misfortunes, and had no reservations about being an emperor at all, so that brother-in-law Murong, who was gloating over misfortunes, didn't know whether to cry or laugh. However, brother-in-law Murong's mind was awakened a little bit, but the contact with Zhao Kuangyin was reduced in the future.

As Ji Yanzhi reminded, too many coincidences are deliberate. Sister-in-law Murong followed Ji Yanzhi's battles in the south and north, and he was also the husband-in-law of Ji Shisanniang, the only surviving clan sister of Ji Yanzhi.

Ji Shisanniang and Liu Sanniang were awarded the title of princess together, and they were the only women close to Ji Yan, except for the queen who was worthy of being a good internal helper by relying on the family to give up all the property. Brother Murong can be said to be familiar to many people, but he doesn't know it.

Time flies. In 955 AD, Ji Yan, who had been the emperor for many years, ordered the prince Ji Zheng to supervise the country, and led an army of 200,000 troops in the Northern Expedition. After three years, the Liao State was finally broken, and the sixteen states of Yanyun that had been ceded out by Shi Jingtian were recovered, with the birthplace of Khitan and other nomads—the three provinces of Liaodong and the Hetao Plain.

As early as the Sui Dynasty, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal had been hollowed out, after Ji Yanzhi wiped out the Liao State, he moved the capital from Kaifeng Prefecture in Bianjing to Shangjing, which was later Peking.

"The next step is to vigorously develop the economy." One of Ji Yan muttered to himself while standing on the steps of the white jade fence. "Remember that the budding of capitalism was in the Song Dynasty, but it was too much emphasis on culture and military affairs, resulting in the Song Dynasty’s annual tax revenue far exceeding that of some dynasties in history, but still can only surrender to the Liao State, and use a lot of money in exchange for each year. Safety."

So, taxation, especially agricultural tax should be reduced or exempted appropriately, and commercial tax should be raised to ten tax one or ten tax two, otherwise it is not for nothing. , And opened up a convenient scholar-bureaucrat?

"Isn't the literati official? The emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime with the common people. It's pretty beautiful to think about it."

"Father, who do you think is beautiful!"

A soft and glutinous girl who looked like meat dumpling tilted her head, looking at her father who was standing on the white jade steps pretending to be deep, and couldn't help but curiously asked.

Ji Yanzhi turned to hug the meat dumplings and smiled unkindly. "Nothing? Father is just thinking, do you want to give your prince brother a Zen position?"

The prince who was walking towards Ji Yanzhi and approached heard this, as if he was greatly frightened. The prince originally wanted to report the contents of the memorials submitted by various places, but in an instant he forgot to say what to say, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ji Yanzhi in disbelief.

Ji Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and returned a meaningful look.

Prince: "..."

——Queen, you are coming soon, and the father is about to bully the sons and ministers to death!
