Early in the morning of the next day, Yang Tong entered the Jiangdu City under the escort of the Xuanjia Army, the whole city was heavily guarded, the Sui army entered the city last night, and did not encounter a decent battle, most of them were Li Mi's diehards to resist on a small scale, and some deserters and hooligans took advantage of the chaos to rob, and the Wei army defending the city was drunk and was controlled in the barracks by the Sui army.

When the main general Su Dingfang entered Yang Tong's entrance, he reported loudly: "In the Holy Heaven, more than 9,600 people in the Wei army have become prisoners; There are more than 700 people who refused to surrender and resisted, and now they have been executed, and more than 1,000 deserters and scoundrels have taken the opportunity to smash shops and plunder the people. ”

"The Wei prisoners were subjected to two years of labor reform, and after two years they were allowed to return to their hometowns, and those who looted the shops were treated as bandits, and all of them were thrown into prison, and then they were sentenced to ten years of labor, and if they killed someone last night, they would be killed."

Yang Tong is very familiar with this set, free labor does not need to be in vain, these more than 9,000 Wei soldiers can do a lot of things in two years, they have been thieves and feel that this is atonement, and they feel that they have made a lot of money by picking up a life after participating in the failure of the rebellion. During the two years of atonement, they could build many, many things for the place.

As for the prisoners who are unwilling to join the army, they will be allowed to return to their hometowns immediately, and they will also distribute food and travel expenses, which will not exist in the Great Sui, you have rebelled, how can you be punished inappropriately? Besides, they made the world ruined, ten rooms and nine empty, and they were not allowed to repair the city walls, dredge water conservancy, and repair roads, do they still need the court to pay for it and invite someone to repair it? Impossible.

"The last will obey." Su Dingfang left in a hurry.

At this time, Fan Qin stepped forward to ask for sin, and he bowed his head to the ground and saluted, "Sin will worship Fan Qin to the saint." ”

Yang Tong turned over and dismounted, personally helped him up, and said with emotion: "I have also heard about General Fan's deeds. If it weren't for fate, the general would have arrived in Yecheng with Yu Wenhua and his head. However, the general has endured humiliation and burdens over the years, stepped forward at critical moments, and made great contributions to the victory and recovery of Jiangdu, which can be described as great benevolence and righteousness. After all, the Fan clan did not live up to my Great Sui, and I think that the Marquis of Jian'an will also be pleased with the actions of your grandson under Jiuquan. ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord, for your praise. The last general was originally a Sui minister, and today he finally returned to Sui, and he has no regrets in this life. Fan Qin had tears in his eyes and looked very excited.

"I canonized you as General Zuo Weiwei today, and temporarily stayed behind in Jiangdu, and I sent 10,000 soldiers under your command to guard Jiangdu City."

Fan Qin was praised by Yang Tong, and was named General Zuo Weiwei, the future is bright, and he saluted excitedly: "The last general swears allegiance to the saint to the death, and goes to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not give up.!" ”

Bing Yuanzhen, who was behind Fan Qin, was envious and nervous, when he saw the great Sui army, he knew that even without himself, the Sui army could easily take Jiangdu City, his role was actually not big at all, so he didn't expect him to have any other career, as long as Yang Tong gave him a way to live, he would be satisfied.

Seeing that Yang Tong had already placed Fan Qin, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Sinner Bing Yuanzhen, I have come to accept the guilt, please punish the saint." ”

Yang Tong said with a smile: "Mr. Bing has made a great contribution, which is enough to offset the merits, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord." Bing Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief and pleaded, "I beg the Holy Lord to allow the sinners to return to their hometowns." ”

Yang Tong was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Mr. Bing is a top strategist in Wagang, with outstanding wisdom and strategy, but Zhai Rang and Li Mi don't know the treasure in Baoshan, so Mr. Bing does nothing, wastes half his life, and wastes a lot of time." The imperial court is now at the time of employing people, and I hope that Mr. can serve the country and live up to his experience in the world. ”

Bing Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "The saint does not suspect that Bing Yuanzhen is shallow in knowledge and ignores his previous sins, Yuan Zhen is willing to serve the Great Sui and dedicate his life's learning." ”

"Sir, for the time being, be my staff member in the army!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" Bing Yuanzhen knew that Yang Dong was well-known for knowing and employing people, and he kept himself by his side, but he didn't know whether he was good at the military or politics, so he didn't make a specific appointment. After thinking about it, he said: "Shengshang, the minister and Shan Xiongxin are from the same county and have a friendship for decades; The minister is willing to go to Quanjiao to persuade him. ”

"Are you sure?" Yang Tong's eyes lit up.

"Shan Xiongxin is righteous, and the minister is not 100% sure, but the minister thinks that if he can avoid a war, it is worth a try."

"I sent a large army to Quanjiao yesterday, and I don't know where it has been. It would have been great if I had been able to say before the battle that I had surrendered to Xiongxin, and I asked a team of soldiers to escort him out. Yang Tong took a fancy to Bing Yuanzhen's influence and status in the Wei army.

"Your Ministers obey."

Yang Tong immediately assigned a team of Xuanjia troops to escort Bing Yuanzhen to Quanjiao County. When Bing Yuanzhen left, he said to Fan Qin: "General Li's family should be in the city, and General Fan can send troops to protect them, and no one is allowed to harass them." ”

"Obedience!" Fan Qin bowed and retreated.

Yang Tong turned over and got on his horse, and after a while, he arrived at Jiangdu Palace.

Jiangdu Palace is surrounded by tall palace walls, there are many strange trees and plants planted in the palace, pavilions and rockery ponds and fish are everything, and more than a dozen concubines and children of Li Mi live in the palace.

But what Yang Tong cares about the most is the treasures in the palace, when Yang Guang moved south, he brought tens of thousands of boxes of rare treasures, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and unique classics to Jiangdu.

Last night, there was a tragic battle in the Jiangdu Palace, and the defenders were different, the three thousand soldiers guarding the Jiangdu Palace were Li Mi's internal army, and the loyalty was extremely high, they were different from the defenders' mission, mainly to protect Li Mi's family, once the Jiangdu City was lost, they would protect them and flee, but unfortunately the Jiangdu City went down without a fight, when the three thousand palace guards reacted, the Sui army had already killed before the imperial city, after a night of bloody battles, the three thousand palace guards were wiped out.

When Yang Tong arrived at Jiangdu Palace, the Sui army had already cleaned up the corpses, and there were pieces of purple-black plasma everywhere, which was enough to show the fierceness of the battle last night. The palace has been fully controlled by the defenders led by Niu Jinda, the Sui army has three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security is very strict, especially the back storehouse, which has specially sent a thousand soldiers to guard, and no one is allowed to approach.

Seeing Yang Tong coming, Niu Jinda stepped forward to report: "Qi Qi Sheng, last night's battlefield mainly took place in the Imperial City, except for some of the Imperial City officials were damaged, all the items behind were well preserved and did not suffer any damage?" ”

"What about Li Mi's family?" Yang Tong knew that Li Mi now had four sons and three daughters, who were reborn after he established himself in Wagang.

"They resisted stubbornly, and all of them died." Niu Jinda said.

"......" everyone was speechless.

Yang Xuangan's rebellion failed, the whole family was executed, as Yang Xuangan's chief strategist, Li Mi's family also became Yang Xuangan's funeral goods, Li Mi fled to Huaiyang County alone, incognito, called himself Liu Zhiyuan, and recruited apprentices to teach. After a few months like this, I wrote a poem "Huaiyang Feelings", and I shed tears after the poem was written. One felt that his actions were abnormal, and reported the matter to Zhao Tuo, the Taishou of Huaiyang, Zhao Tuo sent someone to search for him, Li Mi fled again, and then, his wife and children died again. Li Mi is a generation of heroes, and finally accepted Zhao Tuo's surrender with a big mind. Now she finally gave birth to four sons and three daughters, and she died again.

It's just that these are children of what age, how can they resist stubbornly? This spitting, twinkling-eyed Niu Jinda was obviously lying.

"Are you sure that Li Mi's children are resisting stubbornly?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.

"It's a bit of a shame to say." Niu Jinda's face actually showed a little shame: "The last general led the army to capture the imperial city last night, but accidentally ran away with a team of thieves. ”

Yang Tong looked at Niu Jinda with a smile and motioned for him to continue.

"The last general was worried that they had run away with Li Mi's children, so he personally led his troops into the palace, but there were ......many of them at that time," Niu Jinda said at the end, his words a little stumbling.

"I understand, you were outnumbered at the time, and you were afraid that Li Mi's children would run away, so you released arrows with an ancient brain, Li Mi's children died, and the daughters-in-law also died, is this the case?"

"Holy Lord, why do you know everything?" Niu Jinda was dumbfounded.

Yang Tong raised his eyebrows and looked at Niu Jinda: "Old Niu, we have known each other for so many years, has anyone told you that you are not good at lying?" Has anyone ever told you that when you lie, you blush and your eyes roll? ”

"This ......" Niu Jinda's face was red, and he didn't know how to say it for a while.

Since ancient times, the master is like a father, when Zhang Xutuo's death, the culprit was Li Mi, in addition to Luo Shixin's de facto apprentice, Pei Xingyan and Niu Jinda are also Zhang Xutuo's de facto apprentices, all of whom have a 'father' revenge with Li Mi, this has a chance to take revenge, how can Li Mi's children be spared?

This is not that Niu Jinda is ruthless, but that the Wagang army was too much and couldn't kill them, so he specially slaughtered the families of the generals under Zhang Xutuo, and Luo Shixin and Niu Jinda's parents and elders died in Wagang's revenge. It is impossible for them to attack the families of ordinary soldiers, so they can only take out their anger on the culprit Li Mi's family.

Yang Tong also understood Zhang Xutuo's status in the minds of Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda and others, of course, he would not blame him for the sake of the thief, and said with a smile: "Li Mi's children are really talented, they can fight at such a young age, and they are worthy of being the descendants of a generation of heroes, which is amazing." ”

"......" Niu Jinda's face turned purple.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others tried their best to hold back laughter, but for them, Li Mi's children were the remnants of the anti-thief, and they should be cut down and eradicated, and they should die in the 'war', which is ten thousand times better than slaughtering afterwards.

Yang Tong didn't care about this problem anymore, but went directly to the later treasury with Yin Mingyue and Yang Qinfang.

The treasure warehouse is the same as the Yaoyi City of Luoyang Ziwei Palace, it is a small and narrow city dedicated to the display of the emperor's treasures, and the palace city in the south is only separated by a wall, in addition to the warehouse on the ground, there is also a underground palace, which is currently managed by an old eunuch.

The old eunuch's name is Xu Xian, about sixty years old, he entered the palace in the era of Emperor Wen, and was promoted to the inner servant step by step.

Since the time of Yang Guang, Xu Xian and the Young Pioneers Yang Chao of Ziwei Palace have been responsible for taking care of the treasures in the inner treasury, and they have been conscientious for decades, careful in their work, and there are no mistakes, so whether it is Yu Wenhua or Li Mi, they continue to hand over the inner treasury to Xu Xian to take care of.

When Xu Xian saw Yang Tong in a dragon robe, he knelt down tremblingly and bowed, "Palace slave Xu Xian see the saint!" ”

"I don't mean to make it difficult for you, you don't have to worry, take me to see the collection in the library, and introduce it by the way." Xu Xian is a poor old man who castrates, and Yang Tong naturally won't bother with him.

"The old slave obeys!" Xu Xian stood up, walked to the treasury with Yang Tong and the others, and introduced: "Shengshang, Jiangdu Palace is much smaller than Luoyang Ziwei City, and the inner library here is also smaller than Yaoyi City. It consists of five large warehouses. We are now in the third and largest main warehouse. There are a total of 46,345 boxes of belongings in the whole Cangcheng, and the two Cangcheng on the east are the books compiled by the first emperor, the original manuscripts, as well as the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities and all kinds of precious solitary books; The two warehouses on the west side are placed with gold, silver, copper coins and gold, silver and bronze utensils, and the main warehouse is a rarity. ”

Hearing the number reported by Xu Xian, Yang Tong was shocked, and couldn't help but say: "According to me, the emperor's grandfather rewarded them with a large amount of property in the palace in order to entrap the Xiaoguo army; When Lujiang went north to Zhuo County, he also took some with him. Later, Yu Wenhua also used the palace treasure reward to fight against the thief, and then he emptied the inner library and went north, and exchanged some food with Dou Jiande. These possessions later fell into the hands of Li Mi, and he must have taken some rewards for his subordinates. ”

"The Holy Lord's words are extremely that every property out of the warehouse, the old slave has a detailed account book."

"Then why are there still 46,345 boxes? It can't be empty, right? ”

"Of course not." Xu Xian shook his head, and then said: "Lu, Gu, Zhu, Zhang, Wang, Xie, Shen, Xu and other families have been breeding in the south for hundreds or thousands of years, and the family has accumulated countless rare treasures. Li Mi slaughtered the Jiangnan Shi clan, and their wealth naturally belonged to Li Mi. Now there are more than 10,000 boxes more than when the first emperor went south. ”

Through Xu Xian's words, Yang Tong knew that Yang Guang brought more than 30,000 boxes of treasures from Ziwei City to Jiangdu Palace, no wonder he ordered the Ministry of Industry to build dragon boats when the national strength was greatly reduced and the mountains and rivers were broken, in order to carry these heavy treasures.

These things have changed hands several times, not only a lot, but also more than 10,000 boxes, giving Yang Tong a feeling of usury, he does not regard Jiangdu as the imperial capital, and when Jiangnan is over, he will definitely move back to Luoyang Ziwei City.

The reason why the early Tang Dynasty in history was so poor was because Li Yuan did not move the family gate; It's different now, and when Li Yuan is destroyed, it is estimated that he will get a lot of treasures.

In the era of war, money came really fast.

"Li Mi's ability to make money, I have to convince me. I want to make him the God of Wealth. Yang Tong said without emotion, and accompanied by Xu Xian, he casually inspected the circle. Then go to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other strategists to discuss the next battle plan.

Shan Xiongxin is no longer worried, the Wei army south of Huaishui, only Li Mi is left, as long as it is annihilated, then the Jiangnan he occupies is in Yang Tong's bag, and then he will attack Meng Haigong.

As for Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji in the seven counties of Huaibei, they will be handed over to Li Jing.
