Chapter 487 Nine reincarnations
After conquering the most powerful Western Army of the Song Dynasty, the entire area north of the Yellow River has become the territory of the Daqian Empire. As for the remaining southern regions, there are basically no decent military forces.
Afterwards, the Daqian Empire continued to expand its army while marching south to pacify various parts of the south.
At the same time, troops in the northeast of the Daqian Empire also launched an attack on the Jin Kingdom.
In the summer of the second year of Yuanwu, the troops of the Daqian Empire invaded the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty was declared destroyed.
In the summer of the second year of Yuanwu, the entire south was basically pacified, the Dali Kingdom and the southwestern barbarians also successively submitted. The Daqian Empire integrated the territories of the previous Song, Liao, Jin, Western Xia, Dali and other countries, and basically achieved the unification of the world.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng formulated a five-year development plan, and the entire Daqian Empire entered a period of peace.
In order to control the world from the center, Lu Cheng established Luoyang as the capital at the beginning of the founding of the country, and began to build avenues around Luoyang that stretched from east to west and from north to south.
After the founding of the country, Lu Cheng controlled the world's wealth, manpower and material resources, and whatever he wanted to do was just a matter of words.
With the assets of many countries such as Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia, and with Lu Cheng's management, the entire Daqian Empire quickly became wealthy, allowing Lu Cheng to carry out various reforms and develop infrastructure in a bold manner.
Lu Cheng was not unfamiliar with how to run a country. After all, he had done it once and this time he was just reviewing his lessons.
Of course, after Lu Cheng founded the country, all of his subordinates were given high positions and generous salaries, and their wives and children were given titles and they ruled over certain areas.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, Lu Cheng greatly improved the status of military generals, established nine ranks of nobility, including duke, marquis, earl, viscount, baron, light chariot commander, cavalry commander, cloud cavalry commander, and en cavalry commander, and formulated a strict system of conferring titles based on military merit.
But at that time in the Daqian Empire, the people with the highest titles, such as Pang Wanchun, Hua Rong, and Lu Da, were only marquises.
In other words, the Daqian Empire only had founding marquises, but no founding dukes.
After all, Lu Cheng had long been prepared to unify the global village once again. By then, there would still be many wars to fight and many military exploits waiting for these generals to achieve. It would naturally be impossible to confer the upper limit of the title all at once.
Moreover, the Daqian Empire conferred titles but not land. Each titled noble could receive a generous salary every year, but did not have the power to control any land.
Moreover, titles awarded for military merit can be inherited, but will be downgraded. Titles not awarded for military merit cannot be inherited.
Among those who followed Lu Cheng at the beginning, only a limited number of them were granted the title of marquis. For example, Shi Jin was not good at commanding a large army and could only be a brave general. He did not have enough military achievements, so he was only granted the title of Marquis of Huayin.
After the world was pacified, Shi Jin returned to Huayin County, married and had children, and served as the chief martial arts instructor of the Northwest Army Academy of the Daqian Empire, which brought honor to his family.
In the past few years, Lu Da fought in many places and made great military achievements. In addition to his contribution in pacifying Western Xia, he was named Marquis of Dingxi.
But Lu Da did not like to stay in one place for a long time, nor did he want to attend court in the capital every day. Lu Cheng specially appointed him as the Taiping Inspector, allowing Lu Da to tour the country, investigate corruption, and uphold justice for the people.
For so many years, Luda has been alone and seems to have never considered getting married and having children.
Lu Cheng originally thought that Lu Da would live a lonely life, but he didn't expect that this guy, while inspecting Sichuan Prefecture, eradicated local bullies for justice and saved many people, including a girl whose family was broken up by the bully and who devoted herself to practicing martial arts to seek revenge.
After that, the girl started to pester Luda and kept pursuing him.
Even tough guys can have soft sides. Lu Cheng never expected that Lu Da would be trapped in "Shudao Mountain".
Although the girl was not extremely beautiful, she was quite pretty. She was also intelligent and heroic, and she eventually successfully got together with Lu Da.
Afterwards, the two got married and roamed the world together. Following Lu Cheng's imperial edict and carrying the imperial sword, they went around doing justice and redressing grievances for the people, which became a widely circulated story.
It was not until two years later that the couple returned to the capital and had a daughter.
Lu Cheng originally thought that the couple would settle down and live a good life in the capital. Unexpectedly, before Lu Da's daughter was even one year old, the couple left the capital again and embarked on the road of martial arts.
Afterwards, the maid of the Lu family, whose nickname was Shengnan and whose real name was Lu Qing, was adopted by Lu Cheng as his adopted daughter, named a princess, and raised in the palace.
However, there has never been a queen in Lu Cheng's harem.
Whether it is Pan Jinlian, Jin Cui Lian, Ji Ruxue, Liu Ruyan, Hu Sanniang, Zhang Zhenniang, Pang Qiuxia, etc., they are all a little short of being the mother of the country.
Zhao Yupan, the only one who has some qualities of a mother of the country, is a princess of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, Lu Cheng simply did not appoint a queen or a crown prince.
As for whether this would shake the foundation of the country, Lu Cheng was not worried at all. As long as he was alive and the country was stable, no one would dare to cause trouble.
Given Lu Cheng's physical condition, as long as he doesn't want to die, it will be no problem for him to live to be 130 or 140 years old. However, his children and grandchildren may not live as long as him.
If Lu Cheng had not given up the throne, he could have let his sons be princes for life, and his grandsons be emperors' grandsons for life.
In the same way, Lu Cheng doesn't need to do anything like killing the running dogs after the rabbit dies. All the founding heroes can enjoy prosperity and wealth for at least two or three generations as long as they don't commit suicide.
Even Song Huizong Zhao Ji lived a good life. After abdicating the throne, he became the dean of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy of Daqian Imperial University and devoted himself to writing and painting.
Moreover, since the princesses of the Zhao family were all very beautiful, Lu Cheng later simply brought Princess Rongde Zhao Jinnu, Princess Ande Zhao Jinluo, Princess Maode Zhao Fujin and many other princesses into the harem to keep Zhao Yupan company.
These princesses of the Zhao family had a relatively good ending after being transformed from imperial princesses to concubines.
In the seventh year of Yuanwu, after five years of recuperation, the Daqian Dynasty had greatly improved its overall strength and achieved a leap forward in its scientific and technological level. Flintlock rifles, cannons, mortars, and steam engines had all appeared.
Afterwards, Yang Zhi, Marquis of Dingbei, Wu Song, Marquis of Pingdong, Pang Wanchun, Marquis of Zhennan, Hua Rong, Marquis of Zhengxi, and others of the Daqian Empire each led their armies to launch an expedition to unify Europe and Asia and advance into America and Africa.
In this era, the Australian continent of the American continent is still inhabited by indigenous people, the European continent is also very backward, and Africa is even more primitive. The army of the Daqian Empire is destined to find no opponent...
Perhaps it was because being an emperor distracted him too much, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but Lu Cheng had not made any obvious progress in martial arts practice for more than ten years.
After that, Lu Cheng was no longer obsessed with practicing martial arts. He managed his huge empire while enjoying life.
To hold the power of the world when awake and to lie on the lap of a beautiful woman when drunk has been the dream of most men for thousands of years.
As an emperor, with the necessary conditions and a strong body, Lu Cheng naturally participated in beauty pageants, played with handsome men and women, and enjoyed life.
Lu Cheng traveled to this world and unified the world in just over ten years. He was less than thirty years old when he became emperor, and his body was still in its peak condition, which would continue for a long time.
Therefore, in addition to the beauties in the harem, Lu Cheng would occasionally go on incognito visits, learning from Kang Mazi in film and television dramas, traveling around the world, inspecting all directions, and experiencing different types of fine wine, food and beauties in different places.
Although he was also a captain, Lu Cheng lived a more unrestrained and free life.
Of course, Emperor Lu was a man of few words and did not tire of many women. Although he had favored many women throughout his life, compared with those emperors who had thousands or tens of thousands of beauties in their harems, there were not many women in Daqian's harem. It was just that the overall quality was higher and the favor rate was higher.
Moreover, although Lu Cheng had many women, he did not have too many children. He had less than fifty children in his lifetime, and most of them were sons.
Later, those princes were divided into different continents and became princes.
At the age of seventy, Lu Cheng, who had been a captain for many years, directly gave up the position of emperor of the Daqian Empire to his son with Pang Qiuxia and became the emperor emeritus.
When he was 120 years old, Lu Cheng looked back on his life. He had had enough fun and lived a carefree life. Suddenly, he felt a little tired and bored, as if he had forgotten what he was like at the beginning.
At this moment, a prompt sounded from the system: "Nine reincarnations, time flies by, when will we look back on the past?
The main mission, side missions, and hidden missions have been completed in this reincarnation, and the rewards are as follows...
In order to help the host regain his youth, we are now targeting a new world of travel: "To Our Youth That Will Eventually Pass Away"…"
