Chapter 130 Finale!

In the Battle of Chibi, the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy were completely defeated!

Jiangdong Navy commander Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and other generals were defeated and captured and were tried by the court!

The main generals of the Jingzhou navy, including Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, were either killed in battle or defeated and captured!

After this battle, the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy will become history!

Liu Bian ordered his troops to pursue the victory.

They launched an outflanking attack on Jiangdong by both land and sea.

In addition, there were also imperial officials such as Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao, Yuzhang Prefect Zhu Hao, and Kuaiji Prefect Wang Lang harassing Jiangdong.

With the help of both inside and outside forces, Sun Ce's army was defeated in Poyang County near Poyang Lake a month later.

The little tyrant Sun Ce died on the battlefield!

Jiangdong was shocked and in an uproar!

Those aristocratic families surrendered and laid down their weapons one after another!
Faced with such a huge naval fleet of the imperial court, as well as the massive bombardment of cannons and gunpowder, they have lost the courage to resist!
Jiangdong has a dense network of waterways, and the imperial navy is unstoppable. It is only a matter of time before they control Jiangdong. They can be regarded as heroes who know the times.

With the assistance of Liu Yao and other court officials, the imperial army marched straight in and swept away the rebellion in Jiangdong in a few months.

As for Jingxiang.

The five counties in southern Jing responded to the imperial court's rebellion, joined the imperial navy in Dongting Lake, and then launched a counterattack against the rebel forces in the five counties in southern Jing.

However, in just over a month, they completely controlled the five counties in southern Jing, and then successfully joined forces to march north to Jingxiang.

At the same time, Zhang Liao and other generals on the Nanyang front also launched an attack on Xiangyang City.

Originally, Xiangyang City was still resisting stubbornly. After all, it had a moat hundreds of meters wide, and they could rely on this natural barrier to block the imperial troops.

but!

With the defeat of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the Battle of Chibi, the Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out. Jingxiang lost its determination to fight to the end!
With the help of Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi and the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty in Jingxiang, the city was captured and surrendered in just over half a month with the joint efforts of both inside and outside.

The imperial troops successfully entered the city of Xiangyang.

At this point, the imperial court had complete control over the Jingxiang and Jiangdong regions, one year earlier than initially predicted.

Liu Bian led a fleet of two thousand naval ships and launched a massive bombardment in the Battle of Chibi, which was truly shocking!

The advent of cannons also made many people realize that the imperial navy was unstoppable!
Times have changed!

After Jingxiang and Jiangdong fell into the control of the imperial court, Liu Yan of Yizhou was shocked and horrified. He immediately submitted a memorial to the imperial court to express his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism.

Liu Bian ordered Liu Yan to be transferred away from Yizhou.

This relative of the Han royal family, who proposed "abolishing the historian and establishing the governor" in an attempt to become king and dominate Yizhou, had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave Yizhou, returning to the court to serve and retire.

Apparently rising but actually falling!

Liu Bian sent loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty to replace Liu Yan as the governor of Yizhou.

At this point, Liu Bian had complete control over the twelve states of the Han Dynasty, and the state of Liang was in chaos.

After Liu Bian decided to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, Jingxiang and Yizhou, he led his troops to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion in the Western Regions.

But there was no need for Liu Bian to take action. After the Han Dynasty suppressed the rebellion in the south, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liang Province immediately submitted to the emperor and apologized for their crimes.

Liu Bian transferred them to the capital to take up posts. Ma Teng took his family with him, but Han Sui did not dare to go to the capital.

The outcome of this choice is already determined!
This was not only a disobedience to the imperial will, but also a questioning of Liu Bian's mind and promise.

You have no joke.

Liu Bian would not settle scores later. If you are given an opportunity but don't seize it, it means you are not loyal enough to the court.

Loyalty is not absolute, that is absolute disloyalty!

Liu Bian sent Huangfu Song to lead troops to Liang Province to suppress Han Sui. In just three months, the rebellion in Liang Province was put down and the people surrendered to Liu Bian's imperial power.

If Liangzhou wasn't such a vast territory, most of the time would be wasted on marching, and it could even be faster!
Huangfu Song was one of the three great generals of the late Han Dynasty, and his ability as a commander was beyond doubt!

On the fourth day of May in 193 AD, the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty were finally completely under the control of the imperial court.

Liu Bian unified the world and ended the war!

Of course, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to govern it!

However, Liu Bian has a daily lottery system, and he believes that with the help of the system, he can lead the Han Dynasty to a different future.

Just like getting sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, after spreading them throughout the world, we can gradually eliminate the starvation problem!

Just like after getting chemical fertilizers, the per-acre yield of these crops has increased significantly, and every household has some surplus food.

In addition, the reform of measuring land and allocating taxes based on land gave the people hope for life. While there was surplus every year, the population also experienced explosive growth.

After Liu Bian ordered a census, the result was obtained - the total population of the Han Dynasty was as high as 60 million, including those hidden by the aristocratic families.

Liu Bian decided to make a ten-year plan to increase the population by at least 10 million, hoping that the population of the Han Dynasty could exceed 100 million during his lifetime!
This is a great plan, and I believe Liu Bian could see it before he died.

Population is the primary productive force!
The Han Dynasty had a vast territory, and its population of more than 60 million seemed sparsely populated. As for expanding the territory, there was no need to think about it.

Now it is the third century, and China is the center of the world. It is rich in resources and fertile in land, which is unmatched by any other place in the world!
Liu Bian also looked down on those wild places and the crooked melons and jujubes!
Of course, Liu Bian planted black dragon flags all over the territory surrounding the Han Dynasty!
Goguryeo, Japan, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other barbarians all surrendered to the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

Luzon and Linyi, all of them surrendered to the Han navy.

In order to better control the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian ordered the construction of the Grand Canal to connect the north and south regions and link the Haihe River system, the Yellow River system, the Huaihe River system, the Yangtze River system, and the Qiantang River system.

At the same time, it developed a naval fleet and conducted maritime trade with Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.

In fact, the Maritime Silk Road has already connected to the Eurasian continent, and historical records show that Jiangdong ships traveled to the Eurasian continent for trade.

Liu Bian ordered the development of trade along the Maritime Silk Road, believing that the power of giant ships and cannons could make the Kushan Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire tremble in fear.

It was not that Liu Bian was warlike, but that he wanted to engrave the idea of ​​"being a king outside and a sage inside" to prevent the future people of the Han Dynasty from falling into internal decline.

In addition to the development of external trade, the development of domestic people's livelihood, economy, education, culture and military is also continuing.

After quelling the war and unifying the country, Liu Bian took into account the possibility of rebellion by scoundrels after the war, and only took back a small part of the military power, that is, he controlled the number of local soldiers within a certain range.

However, in order to avoid local separatism and the expansion of warlords, the path of centralization must be taken in the future.

Liu Bian even considered separating the military and politics.

But Liu Bian's upper limit of lifespan is already over a hundred years old, and he is only in his twenties now, so he doesn't have to worry about these things for the time being.

After completing the construction of the Grand Canal and developing the navy and sea transportation, Liu Bian had extremely strong control over the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty. The central government was no longer out of control over the local governments as in the past.

As time goes by, the daily lottery system is also being upgraded and evolved, and now we are starting to get prizes related to machinery such as steam engines.

Remember, it is only 194 AD.

Liu Bian felt that in another ten or eight years, the Han Dynasty could enter the "steam age", and it was also possible that it would enter the "electric age" during his lifetime.

I believe that after Liu Bian’s preparation, the people of the Han Dynasty will be able to enter the “interstellar age” in the future.

Sure enough, the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation, and time travelers like Liu Bian can only rely on the system!
The system offers sacrifices to heaven, with boundless magic power!
Liu Bian believed that he could make the Han Dynasty great again! Even greater!

really.

In 200 AD, Liu Bian completed his plan ahead of schedule. The population of the Han Dynasty exceeded million, the Grand Canal was completed, and the country entered the steam age.

People all over the world praise Liu Bian as a wise ruler!
This year, Liu Bian offered sacrifices to heaven and earth at Mount Tai!
This was not only for political purposes, to show that the emperor was appointed by heaven, to report peace to heaven and to express gratitude for heaven's protection, but also to report to the world how outstanding Liu Bian's political achievements were and how much he was loved by the people!

After the Fengshan ceremony, the Han Dynasty enjoyed greater peace and prosperity!
and.

Liu Bian’s daily lottery system gradually begins to show things related to cultivating immortals!

Now Liu Bian can be confident that no matter the steam age or the electrical age, he will lead the Han Dynasty into the age of cultivating immortals!
……

This book is finished!
