Chapter 469: All Things
At the beginning of Pei Shiqing's surrender, he suffered some unwarranted disasters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
What makes Li Po dissatisfied is nothing else, if you let Li Dingfang go, or kill him immediately, give me his head, or even you quietly send people over, there are so many choices there, you just sent people to Jiexiu in a bright and bright way......
Well, the reason for this is very simple, no matter how Li Dingfang deserves to die, he can't die in the hands of Li Po, especially at such a time.
The experience over the years clearly told Li Po that being stained with the blood of his relatives was a very bad thing, and the most important thing was that Li Dingfang belonged to the captured generals.
Speaking of it alone, killing a relative, or beheading a general, it is still said in the past, but if you are both a prisoner and a few relatives, it is not easy to start.
As for those messy personal grievances, they can't be put on their lips, most people won't listen to this, they will only see your ruthless side.
Li Po didn't hesitate for too much time, and directly asked Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang to be released together.
Since it's not easy to go under the knife, it's useless to keep it, so it's better to be out of sight.
Okay, Pei Shiqing sent a pair as a big gift, which didn't make Li Po happy, and added a lot of disgust to him, which can be regarded as quite strange.
In short, those standard personal grievances seemed a little insignificant to Li Po at this moment.
Pei Shiqing surrendered immediately, Li Po immediately ordered Wei Chi Gong, and the two of them led their troops north, together with Xue Wanche and Wang Zhibian, and joined Pei Shiqing's troops to descend through the Bird Mouse Valley and enter the two counties of Linfen and Jiangzhou.
With a leading party like Pei Shiqing, five days later, the army entered Jiangzhou without spending a single soldier.
This is actually considered to have entered the hinterland of Hedong, and since Li Shentong led his troops north, the counties of Hedong have been empty and in a mess.
After Wei Chigong and Bu Qun led their troops to the county seat of Jiangzhou, within a few days, they actually received a lot of letters of surrender, and it is estimated that the days will be longer, and when the news of the defeat of Li Shentong's army of more than 200,000 will spread again, some county commanders and county guards will appear in person in the county town of Jiangzhou.
If the army comes out at this time, it is not an exaggeration to describe the current Hedong County with the wind and descending.
And the two largest ethnic groups in Jindi, the Jinyang Wang clan and the Wenxi Pei clan, are now all under Li Po's rule, which undoubtedly adds a lot of aura and bargaining chips to Li Po.
The strategy formulated by Li Po at the beginning seemed to be very wise at this time.
Of course, such stories belong only to the winners......
Li Po led his troops to come belatedly, and when he came to Jiangzhou, the more than 100,000 troops gathered after raising troops in Jinyang were only 50,000 people, and the Tang army of Pei Shiqing's troops was only more than 58,000 people.
Wei Chi was promoted to the lieutenant of Linfen County, and Wu Boyuan, the assassin of Linfen, was appointed as the Taishou of Linfen County.
The rest of the soldiers and horses, in addition to garrisoning Jiexiu, Li Po ordered all the troops to be stationed in Xihe County to take care of the Tang army's soldiers, and ordered all departments to reclaim the fields for cultivation next year.
Zhang Zhiyun, the Taishou of Xihe County, led the officials of Xihe County who arrived one after another, and measured the acres of fields in preparation for the distribution of fields.
As for who to farm, then there is no need to ask, the Tang army has many soldiers, and Li Po has no intention of expanding the army, not because of anything else, but because he really can't afford to feed it.
You can only choose the elite army among them, and most of the people outside of it will be farmers in Xihe County in the future.
Jinyang has a large population, and the Jinyang clan also intends to enter Xihe County to expand their family business, after all, Xihe County has the most fertile land in the state, and the water source is more abundant than in the north.
Such fertile land has been abandoned until now due to the war, and there is also an opportunity for redistribution, and the first thing that is tempting is naturally these Jinyang ethnic groups.
Moreover, Xihe County also has the most abundant mountain and forest resources in the state, and the mountains and forests are not as good as the fields.
If someone owns a small mountain forest, then his family must be a local clan, which is actually the same as the jewelry worn on the body, the actual value is secondary, showing the status and identity.
Therefore, there have always been many people who change hands on the land, and once the mountains and forests change hands, it means that a family is in decline.
Of course, in addition to these people, the displaced people from their ancestral home of Xihe County are also returning one after another, and as time goes by, some villages that were abandoned at the beginning have gradually become populated.
Then the other thing is that because Xihe County has a lot of land, it is also a good choice to reward meritorious soldiers, and the army stationed in Xihe County began to free up their hands to continue to attack the Luliang bandits, which also added additional population to Xihe County......
With fertile land, the people of the Central Plains Dynasty actually thrived in such a cycle and never stopped.
Therefore, Xihe County at this time is similar to the original Yanmen, and it is in ruins.
This year is not to be thought about, it must be another famine year for Xihe County, but the population problem has been solved quite well, and at the beginning of Xihe County's fall under Li Po's rule, almost all the people here were government soldiers.
It also planted the cause and effect for the Xihe soldiers to be famous in the north in the future.
When Li Po arrived in Jiangzhou, the time had already entered the middle of June of this year, and the autumn wind was gradually rising, and it was not far from the autumn harvest in the north.
Li Po had received letters from Chen Xiaoyi, Yu Wenxin and others before, and the agitation of each of them could be said to be on paper.
In layman's terms, this victory has greatly boosted the morale of the people of the government and the people.
The most direct manifestation of this is that after the news of the victory in front spread, the two states have not calmed down, and the food prices that have risen again in the past few months have fallen.
This is the best proof of the people's attachment, and many people have begun to believe that the future will become more and more stable, and some local ethnic groups are also making efforts to show their loyalty.
The last thing that several Taishou said was one thing, this year's weather was beautiful, the whole year was smooth, and the harvest of the two states was in sight, because of the exemption from taxes, the government did not see the shadow of taxes, and the replenishment of each granary needed to take money out to buy.
A few Taishou are not confused people, there is no intention of complaining, going on like this now, is the appearance of a foundation, and only a loser will do the things that dry up and fish.
Moreover, Su Yan is working with He Chou and others to cast silver taels, and finally a unique Jin silver will be available.
After that, everyone also understood that coins are very important to the government, and coins are needed to buy many things from the people, which is the most normal relationship between the government and the people.
For example, since the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the practice of forcibly expropriating grain and grass and pulling strong men everywhere is abnormal, and it often provokes rebellion.
The so-called "taken from the people" is actually such a truth.
A large amount of coins enter the private sector for trading, and then the government collects taxes, resells them, and returns them to the people, which is a virtuous circle.
And the season when Daizhou had been using grain as a basic trade item for a long time has gradually come to an end.
Several Taishou have no doubt that after this year's bumper harvest, the two states will be on the right track, and recovery is just around the corner.
Yu Wenxin is showing merit, the city of Yanmen has recovered very quickly this year, the people are stable, after hearing that there is a big victory, the officials and the people are excited, and many government soldiers have invited themselves to join the army and enlist...... Well, in a word, the situation in Yanmen is very good.
At the end, this one vaguely mentioned again, is it time to trade with the Turks? Now that it has been reconciled with the Turks, it is necessary for the envoys to be with the Turkic nobles, so as to influence the decisions of the Turkic khans.
It can be seen that after a trip to the grassland in the clouds, this Guanxi nobleman consciously opened his eyes, and he also had a lot of confidence when he brought up the old things again.
Maybe the only regret he has is that as a member of the Kansai world, he can't participate in the previous battle that can be called brilliant, so he can't buy a step towards the supreme goal of becoming a general, right?
Yu Wenxin's utilitarian heart has always been much stronger than others, so it is not surprising that he is not at ease in the position of the Yanmen Taishou.
Yuen Long, who was in Mayi, was similar to Yu Wenxin this time, and in addition to the letter about the construction of the city, he also complained that Li Po should not have thrown him in Mayi.
The descendants of the Yuan clan all relied on swords and guns to gain fame and fortune, but he was a horse herder at the beginning, and now he has become a slave leader, and all he sees all day long are rough Turks, which makes him very bored.
It can be seen that as he gets older, his desire to make contributions has gradually become urgent.
Of course, although Yuen Long is full of complaints, the results are really good.
The city on the bank of the Cangshui was gradually taking shape, it was a large city comparable to Yunnei City, and the progress of the project slowed down a little after He Chou sent his son and apprentice over, because many places were not built as expected.
The castle, which was supposed to be completed this year, will not be completed until next summer.
Yuen Long was also very dissatisfied with this, Xu Zhao was scolded by him, and the tomb robbers built the city...... Well, it's a bit hard for him.
To tell the truth, the power of Yuen Long is not small now, in addition to concurrently serving as the county magistrate of Yunnei, the entire Mayi, Lou Fu, and the pastures in the north of Yanmen are under his jurisdiction.
Shi Qianqian, the local emperor who dominated the ranch in Yunnei back then, is nothing compared to Yuen Long today.
And now the pastures in the northern part of Daizhou, whether it is the number of slaves, war horses and livestock, have far exceeded the scale of the original Sui period, and the prosperity is a mess.
This is a unique phenomenon, of course, this also makes Yuen Long's power greatly increased, plus he is still Li Po's brother-in-law, compared with those Taishou, in fact, it is just a grade of official rank, whether in terms of power or identity, it is even better......
