Chapter 1204

The demise of the Qing Dynasty marked the temporary end of the Central Plains War.

In less than two months, Great Xia, while keeping the Great Jin Dynasty, conquered the Great Han and the Great Qing successively, becoming the biggest winner of this war.

During this period, after repeated fierce battles, the Mongolian army completely defeated the Turkic cavalry and successfully occupied the Western Turkic Khanate. After this battle, the territory of Mongolia expanded by half, becoming a super grassland kingdom that traverses east and west.

Calculated only by the territory of Huaxia District, the territory of Mongolia is already comparable to Daxia.

With the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the Six Nations Alliance is not counted, the Mongolian Kingdom has already replaced the Great Zhou Dynasty and became the biggest opponent of the Great Xia to unify the Huaxia region.

There is always a battle between the two.

…………

On August 21st, Ouyang Shuo came to the capital city.

Although Feng Prison Huang had already formally proposed to Ouyang Shuo to merge the Jin Dynasty into the Great Xia when the Zhou army withdrew from the Great Jin Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to take over the Great Jin Dynasty.

A war has just ended, and the Great Jin managed to defend the country. It was the time when the morale was the highest, and it was also the time when the government and the opposition were most cohesive. If Feng Prison and Huang suddenly announced to merge with the Great Xia at this time, the people might be a little helpless in their hearts. Accept it, and it's a big spoiler.

The second is that the Great Jin Dynasty is riddled with holes, there is still a split between the court and China, and the Phoenix Prisoner is undergoing a large-scale cleansing on an unprecedented scale. If it is merged into the Great Xia at this time, I am afraid it will be abandoned halfway.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to borrow the hand of Feng Qiuhuang to plow the big Jin once and then take it over.

It may seem hypocritical to ask Feng Prison Huang to take the blame for "cleaning", but from Da Xia's point of view, this is the most beneficial way for Da Xia, and I believe Feng Prison Huang can also understand.

And with the arrogance of Feng Prison Huang, he didn't want to hand over a smoky Jin to Ouyang Shuo.

That's how things settled down.

After Feng Prisonhuang completes the cleansing, the Jin Dynasty will be merged into Daxia. At that time, Daxia will be able to appear as a "savior", calm the sequelae caused by the purge, and buy people's hearts along the way.

Only in this way can a relatively intact Dajin be kept as much as possible. After all, Ouyang Shuo doesn't want it to be a mess.

For Feng Prisonhuang, the Great Jin Dynasty is like her "dowry", and the quality of the "dowry" also affects to a certain extent how high Feng Prisonhuang can go in Daxia in the future.

Compared with Bai Hua and the others, Phoenix Prisoner and Huang are latecomers.

Ouyang Shuo attached great importance to Phoenix Prisoner and had high expectations. Naturally, he didn't want Feng Prisoner Huang to attract criticism as soon as he joined the Great Xia system.

Kyoto City, the other courtyard in the west of the city.

When he came to the capital city, Ouyang Shuo neither received members of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, nor received the old ministers of the Qing Dynasty with great fanfare. Instead, he hid in a clean courtyard and dealt with the post-war affairs in a low-key manner.

Staying in the room, Ouyang Shuo could still hear the hustle and bustle from the streets, and the continuous sound of firecrackers. It was the people of Kyoto celebrating wildly, celebrating Daxia's "recovery" of the capital city.

The grievances between Man and Han are really unclear.

No matter how low-key Ouyang Shuo was, his appearance still stirred up waves in the pools of the capital. There is no need for Ouyang Shuo to come forward, just his name can bring a deterrent to this ancient city.

The hustle and bustle of Kyoto city seemed to become quiet all at once.

There is a good saying, "a person's name is the shadow of a tree". Ouyang Shuo has reached this level now, and with just his name, he can accomplish many things that no matter how hard he tries, he can't.

Just like this time.

Although Ouyang Shuo didn't show up, he just stayed in the other courtyard, but because of his presence, the officials sent by Da Xia to take over the capital city immediately felt that the previously difficult work became smoother at once.

The resistance encountered before seemed to disappear without a trace.

The Great Xia court has decided to merge Jingdu County into the Northern Xinjiang Province, and the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate will also be relocated to Kyoto City. The future capital city will be positioned as the central city of the dynasty in the north.

With Kyoto City as the center, it radiates the entire northern boundary.

For such a city with a strategic position, the imperial court is naturally very concerned, and the degree of attention is no less than that of receiving a province.

Another difference between Kyoto City and other places is that the officials in the city are mainly Manchurians.

This is of course impossible.

The imperial court has decided to remove all the officials above the fifth grade in the capital city, except for a few who have a good reputation, the rest will either be demoted to common people or distributed to other provinces.

In doing so, the resistance is naturally not so great, after all, it is smashing people's iron rice bowl. If it wasn't for Ouyang Shuo personally sitting in the capital city, even with Da Xia's current prestige, there would be troubles.

In addition to the officials in the city, what is more difficult is how to arrange the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, especially Emperor Kangxi.

In this regard, the court has two opinions.

One believes that Kangxi should be conferred the title of King of the Qing Dynasty by referring to the imperial court's resettlement method for the Han royal family, and confining him to the palace, so as to appease the hearts of the people.

But some people were worried, thinking that Kangxi was not as prestigious as the former prince Liu Fuling among the Manchus. Even if Kangxi was restricted from traveling, he would still play a role in secret.

Instead of this, it is better to give Kangxi to death, and it will be over once and for all.

There are also objections to this approach.

One is to kill an emperor who has already surrendered, which is against the dignity of the dynasty; the other is that if a precedent is set, it will only make the future dynasty resist to the end and vow not to surrender to the death.

After fighting and fighting, Ouyang Shuo still had to make a final decision.

Ouyang Shuo thought about it for a while, and it would definitely not work to confer Kangxi the title of King of Qing. He decided to take a compromise method, demoting all members of the Qing royal family, including Kangxi, to common people and sent them to southern Xinjiang.

There is a reason for the huge difference in treatment between the Qing royal family and the Han royal family.

First, the civil and military officials of the former Han Dynasty were basically reused by the Great Xia, while the officials of the Qing Dynasty had to face a major purge. In this way, the resistance to relegating members of the Qing royal family was much smaller.

Second, Tian Wenjing, Zuo Zongtang and other officials of the Qing Dynasty who served in Daxia were all Han Chinese and did not have deep feelings for the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, Ouyang Shuo did not need to take care of these people's feelings.

Third, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a very high prestige in the entire Han nation, and his influence was not limited to a province in the Central Plains, but also radiated the entire China.

Therefore, even out of this consideration, Daxia must take good care of the descendants of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In contrast, Emperor Kangxi's influence among the common people in China was much weaker, just like the current capital city, there are not a few people applauding.

Therefore, even if Emperor Kangxi was demoted to a commoner, except for the Manchus, no one would come out to fight against injustice.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo didn't do too much. He conferred the title of Yinzhen, the fourth son of Emperor Kangxi, who later became Emperor Yongzheng, as the second-class earl.

In this way, an explanation can also be given to the surrendered Qing army.

During this attack on the Qing Dynasty, a total of 320,000 Qing soldiers were captured. How to deal with these prisoners, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to come to a conclusion, but let the Northern Border Army be responsible for keeping them in the suburbs of Kyoto.

The reorganization of the army can affect the whole body.

Ouyang Shuo was going to wait until after the Jin army was attached to him, and combined with the Jin army and the Han army captured before, to carry out a systematic army reorganization, instead of a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west.

What's more, this war in the Central Plains is far from over.

When Ouyang Shuo was in the capital, Han Xin had already led the Leopard Army back to the Central Plains. In a short period of time, neither Qin Tang nor Da Zhou dared to take Da Jin's idea.

Leopard Tao Army naturally does not need to be stationed in Dajin.

Not long after the Central Plains Province was taken, the army really needed to be in charge.

After the defense is handed over to the Baotao Army, the Fifth Army of the City Guards stationed in Luoyang will return to Shanhai City.

Similarly, after the prisoners of war were handed over to the Northern Border Army for custody, the imperial guards would also return to Shanhai City.

The troops attacking the Qing Dynasty, except for the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jing to temporarily occupy the capital city, the three regiments of the City Guard Army, the three regiments of the Yingyang Army, and the First Army of the Yingzhou Corps will all return to their respective stations one after another.

Depending on the situation, Da Xia is not planning to attack Da Zhou in one fell swoop.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the remaining five-nation alliance will surely unite more closely.

The combined armies of the five countries number more than 3 million, and it is not to say that if you want to start a war, you can start a war. If one is not good, it may set you on fire.

Ouyang Shuo's strategy is to nibble away one by one.

Of course, in order to speed up the progress of cannibalization, Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate to play one hole after another.

The place where the war broke out this time came from the southeast region.

On August 22nd, the second day after Ouyang Shuo went to the capital city, Sun Bin, the deputy commander of the Southeast War Zone, commanded the Huben Army and the Xiangjiang Army, with a total of 600,000 troops, brazenly marching into the Jiangnan Province of Great Zhou.

The flames of war that had just subsided were ignited again.
