Chapter 1738 The Great Wei State

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhai Rang finally chose to give up his throne to Li Mi under the persuasion of everyone.

    Li Mi naturally did not accept it. After making three concessions, he reluctantly ascended to the position of leader of the Wagang Army.

    ¡°These days, people can be unjust, and their positions can be unjust, but it¡¯s best that the procedures are just, because that¡¯s what everyone accepts.

    After Li Mi became the leader of the Wagang Army, the most annoying thing was not Zhai Rang, but their names.  Wagang Army was taken from Wagang Village. When Zhai Rang became a bandit, there was no problem in calling him this name. But now Li Mi has no intention of continuing to be a bandit, so the name of Wagang Army is particularly annoying.

    The rest of the people also want to follow Li Mi to clear their identities and continue to keep this name. Shouldn't they tell others about their origins?

    So everyone agreed that the name Wagang Army would no longer be used, and Li Mi would call himself Duke Wei. From now on, Wagang Army would be the Wei Army.

    The word "Wei" is not chosen randomly, but is the title of the Li family.  Li Mi's great-grandfather Li Bi was the Grand Master Zhao Guogong when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established. After his death, he was granted the title of Wei Guogong. His second son Li Hui also inherited the title of Wei Guogong.

    At first, Li Hui was the heir because of Princess Anyi, the daughter of Shang Yu Wentai, but the branch of Li Mi's grandfather was actually the long branch.  At this time, Li Mi took "Wei" as his country name, which was equivalent to regaining the position of the direct branch of the family, and for himself, it was equivalent to inheriting his great-grandfather's business.  It can not only improve one's family status, but also maintain contact with Guan Long.

    Of course, Xingyang County, where Li Mi was born, historically belonged to Wei, which happened to correspond to his country name.

    Li Mi is very vigilant. He knows that the justice of the procedures since ancient times requires the concession of the previous dynasty. The self-proclaimed emperor and king are of little use.  Therefore, he only claimed the title of duke for the time being, and did not rashly claim to be the king.

    On December 19, Li Mi and others set up an altar in the southern suburbs of Gong County to worship heaven and ascend the throne. The founding name of the country was Wei, and the reign name was changed to Yongping. It was the first year of Yongping in the Wei Dynasty.

    Li Mi did not treat Zhai Rang badly when he became Duke. He appointed Zhai Rang as Situ and made him Duke of Dongjun.  The position of Situ is one of the three Dukes. As for the Duke, Li Mi himself is the Duke. The Duke is already at the top, which shows how high the reward is.

    After Zhai Rang learned about it, he was overjoyed and accepted it happily.

    Li Mi also established the Marching Marshal's Mansion and seized the supreme power of the rebel army.  He took the post of Marching Marshal himself, and the document he issued was inscribed as Marching Marshal Wei Gongfu.  Fang Yanzao was the chief historian on the left, Bing Yuanzhen was the chief historian on the right, Yang Defang was the Sima of the left, Zheng Detao was the Sima of the right, and Li Xuanying was the recorder.

    Among the five people, except Bing Yuanzhen, the other four are all Li Mi's subordinates.  In particular, Yang Defang and Zheng Detao were both demoted from the Sui army.  Although Li Mi occupied the magpie's nest, he didn't think much of the bandits in Wagang. Naturally, his employees followed these Sui soldiers who were from the same class and demoted them to generals.

    Under Li Mi, the left and right generals of Wuhou were appointed, led by Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shicheng. This can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to the two.

    However, although the two men had high official positions, after all, they belonged to Zhai Rang's old ministry, so they still led the old ministry, and the real power was concentrated in the hands of Li Mi's direct descendants.  Li Mi also set up an internal army of hussars, led by four men: Wang Bodang, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Chang He.

    The remaining generals are assigned official positions according to their grades.

    The newly born Wei State took Luokou as its capital and stationed itself in an area of ??40 miles surrounding Luokou.

    At this point, the Wagang Army completed the peaceful transformation from a peasant army to a new political power, and Li Mi, as the linking figure among them, had an unparalleled prestige.

    After Li Mi ascended the throne, he attracted all the bandits from the Central Plains to defect to him.

    Meng Rang, the Shandong thief commander, Hao Xiaode, the Pingyuan thief commander, Wang Deren, the Weijun thief, and Fang Xianbo from Jiyin, Li Shicai from Changping, Wei Liuer and Li Deqian, the Huaiyang thief commander, Zhang Qian, the Qiaojun thief commander, and Zhang, the Huanshui thief commander.  Sheng, the Hei She and Bai She in Qiao County, Jibei bandit commander Zhang Qingte, Shangluo people Zhou Bitao, Hu Lvjie, etc. all joined Li Mi.  Li Mi conferred official titles on them all, and asked them to command their own troops, and set up a hundred camps to manage them.  The people who came to surrender came in an endless stream, and Li Mi's troops numbered hundreds of thousands.

    Li Mi also ordered the guard Tian Maoguang to build Luokou City with a radius of forty miles, and Li Mi lived in the city.  He also sent Fang Yanzao to divide his troops and march eastward to capture the counties and counties in Henan.

    Li Mi's power became more and more prosperous, which made Zhai Rang feel very uncomfortable. In his opinion, all this should originally belong to him.

    Zhai Rang discovered after being a Situ for a few days, what a bullshit Situ, it¡¯s just a title, no bullshit rights.  Even the people under Li Mi didn't care about him at all.

    For Zhai Rang, suddenly he was transformed from the eldest to the nominal second child, and he was still the second child with few rights. You can imagine the gap in his heart.

    Especially the constant complaints and instigation from his subordinates made Zhai Rang even more uncomfortable.

      When Li Mi built the Pushan public camp, many of his soldiers were bullied by Zhai Rang's troops, but because of Li Mi's strict control, no one dared to retaliate.

    Now that Li Mi has become the new boss, Zhai Rang's subordinates are worried about being bullied by the other party.

    After constant encouragement from his subordinates, Zhai Rang also regretted abdicating his position.  At this time, his brother Zhai Hong kept saying bad things about Li Mi to Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang thought about it for several days and finally decided to leave Li Mi.

    Zhai Rang then found Li Mi and said to him: "I am a mediocre person. I started a rebellion just to survive by chance. I have no ambition. Now that I have enough money, I plan to return to Wagang."

    Li Mi was shocked when he heard this. Zhai Rang left without leaving his stall.

    So Li Mi decided to keep Zhai Rang.

    But at this time, Fang Yanzao and others advised: "Zhai Rang does not have many troops. If he stays in the army, it will be difficult for Duke Wei to deal with him. It is better to leave during his term and fend for himself. If he is wiped out by the army, Wei will be spared."  Mr. Trouble."

    Zhai Rang just gave way to Li Mi. It would really be inappropriate to deal with him at this time.

    As for whether his departure will attract others to follow him, there is no need to worry.  The bustle in the world is all for the benefit of coming; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the benefit of the future.  Li Mi could give them far more than Zhai Rang could give them, so why would they leave Li Mi and follow Zhai Rang.

    Li Mi thought about it and thought it made sense, so he agreed to the matter.

    At this time, Zhai Rang summoned his old troops to discuss leaving Luokou and returning to Wagang Mountain.  He thought that everyone would follow him, but who would have expected that generals such as Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji were determined to follow Li Mi and make achievements. Who would want to go back to a place like Wagangzhai and become a bandit?

    Everyone was silent in embarrassment, and Zhai Rang was embarrassed.

    It was only then that Zhai Rang realized that since he gave up his throne, he would never be able to go back to the past.  But the matter had come to this, and he could not give up. He had no choice but to take his troops and leave.

    Li Mi quickly put Zhai Rang's departure behind him. He had more important things now.

    As soon as Li Mi ascended the throne, he planned an attack on Luoyang, the eastern capital. This move not only frightened the small court of the eastern capital, but also frightened the bandits who had joined him.

    And more importantly, he wants to create a food shortage in Luoyang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
