Because there were too many troops and the roads were blocked, the northern army was unable to cover up the killing on a large scale, which allowed Wan Yangang to escape with his life.

Wan Yangang was originally complacent, ready to enter Beijing in a war, and then he could be respected in the south.

Who knew that the result was a big defeat and loss, Wan Yangang only took less than one percent of the remnants of the army, and fled back to Zhending Mansion in a hurry.

After Yan Kang's statistics on battle losses, his own soldiers were killed and wounded less than 10,000, and most of them were wounded.

When the good news of the victory came back, the central capital, from Wanyan Hongxi downwards, felt a little incredible, and questioned in their hearts how much water there was in this battle report.

Wan Yankang's series of reform measures, although there are not many killings, but countless wealth.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents. When Wan Yan Kang led the army out of the city this time, most of the magnates in the central capital were looking forward to Wan Yan Gang's victory, and some of the bold ones had already walked around secretly, ready to connect with Wan Yan Gang's internal and external cooperation, and do the great thing of "putting things right".

When more than 100,000 soldiers were escorted into the city from the southeast and southeast gates, they all walked for a day. The princes and nobles, civil and military officials in the central capital all know.

Daikin has completely changed this day.

Wan Yan Hongxi led the civil and military officials who had not yet been arrested and imprisoned to greet them outside the south gate, and waited for a full day before seeing Wan Yan Kang, who had returned to the city.

His Majesty is mighty, brave and invincible, and has dominated the country for thousands of generations.

Listening to this exaggerated slogan and looking at the strong faces in the crowd, Wan Yankang also guessed the thoughts of everyone present, and even wanted to know that someone would make some small moves in the city in the past two days.

He fixed the horse, nodded to Wanyan Hongxi, and waved hello to everyone: "Everyone, today's big victory is really the result of the unity of Dajin and the unity of all people, and it is not my own work." The change of the law the day before yesterday touched the interests of many people, and perhaps some people were dissatisfied with me and hoped that I would lose a big defeat. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Yankang paused and glanced around the crowd.

When many people's eyes touched him, their hearts were empty, and they unconsciously lowered their heads.

After reading it for a week, Yan Kang said: "I, Dajin, now govern the country according to the law, and I don't care about my deeds." If it's just slander in my heart and scolding in my mouth, I won't care about it. If there are some actions that should not be done in these two days......"

Speaking of this, Wan Yankang's tone was cold, and as soon as his voice stopped, many people trembled a little.

"Take the initiative to take the lead within three days and pay a fine of 10,000 taels, this time, you can not blame the past." After Yan Kang finally threw down this sentence, Shi Shiran went into the city.

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After Yan Kang took the throne, although he cleaned up a group of people, they all acted in accordance with the new law, and there was no excessive and indiscriminate killing, let alone a connection. For those who have been engaged in the tandem in the past two days, the new emperor can promise not to blame the past, which is already a great kindness.

It didn't take three days to arrive, but the next morning, the household department received hundreds of thousands of taels of money.

After the big victory, Wan Yankang did not rush to move his army south. In his opinion, Wan Yan Gang is just a lost dog, skinning and cramping, stewing or frying, just in his own thoughts.

At present, the top priority is to settle the surrendered troops and stabilize the government.

Wan Yan Gang's army of 250,000 people, nearly 50,000 horses, about 20,000 people, fled back to Zhending Mansion with him. In the end, more than 170,000 soldiers were escorted into Beijing.

For the surrender of more than 170,000 troops, Wan Yankang first singled out all the officers above the centurion and put them in public

Kill one out of ten as a punishment.

For the disposal of ordinary soldiers, two schemes were set up.

Those who are willing to continue to serve in the army will be divided into a battalion, and high-intensity marching training will soon be conducted.

For those who do not want to join the army, they will serve three months of hard labor in the central capital, and then return to their hometowns after the year.

When the officers were killed, the soldiers were all nervous, and they didn't know what would happen. But the devastating battle outside the city made these hundreds of thousands of soldiers dare not have the slightest strange thought.

After the two plans were released, only 50,000 people chose to continue to serve in the army, less than one-third of the total. It is a blessing that the veterans who have been fighting all the year round only need to work for three more months to be able to return home, so most people are reluctant to join the army again.

Seeing this, the soldiers of White Horse City couldn't help but scold these people who did not want to join the army, and showed off their generous salaries and various benefits.

Double salary, no deductions, knighthood for war exploits, equality for all, and compensation for casualties are in place, and many people who choose to return to their hometowns secretly regret it. After enjoying the same two-day meal standard, many of the soldiers who chose to return to their hometowns began to ask if they could change their minds.

When the news was reported, Yan Kang was overjoyed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he categorically rejected it.

There are really a lot of soldiers available to him in his hands. He has 150,000 elite cavalry under his command, and if he wants to mobilize on the grassland, it will not be difficult to gather 300,000 cavalry. The infantry of the original two roads in the north, the main army plus the government soldiers, the total number is close to 100,000. This time, the 50,000 new troops and some surrendered troops in the hands of Yan Hongyi also totaled 100,000, and after screening, it was estimated that half of them could be left.

150,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry are all elite divisions, and they have swept the world. At present, Daikin's annual tax income is only four or five million taels. If it weren't for the rich harvest from Wanyan Yongji and other princes and nobles, Wanyan Kang would already be worried about the food and salary for the coming year.

Those who did not choose to join the army at the beginning were beating their chests, and the more than 50,000 soldiers who surrendered began the usual devilish training.

……

For the time being, it is obvious that the military is in the first place, and the political affairs are in the rear. After Yan Kang dealt with the resettlement of the surrendered troops, he turned his energy to the political affairs and personnel arrangements of the court.

After Yan Kang ascended the throne, whether it was from the reform of the government structure or the establishment of the new court and the Supervision Yuan, his strength of reform far exceeded that of the founding monarchs of previous dynasties.

Before Wan Yan Gang was defeated, those civil and military ministers in the central capital who had not yet been imprisoned, although all of them sang praises to Wan Yan Kang on the surface, saying that his reform of the old and the new was a precedent unprecedented, and the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty were not enough to be called the new emperor.

But these old courtiers discussed in private, most of them were not optimistic about Yan Kang's innovative moves, Dajin's officials have been like this for more than a hundred years, and now the knife is so big, and there are still a few officials who are willing to give their lives.

Even Xu Daosheng also privately persuaded Yan Kang to see if the means could be slightly eased and the pace of reform could be slower.

It's not that Xu Daosheng doesn't agree with Wan Yankang's innovative move, it's really a little difficult to do, and there is no one available among the Wenchen.

After the implementation of the new policy by Yan Kang's edict, except for the appointment of Xu Daosheng as the prime minister, the other candidates for deputy ministers were not immediately appointed, and important candidates such as Shangshu and Shilang of various ministries were not immediately adjusted at that time.

This is done in order to avoid too frequent personnel changes and too much fluctuation in the court. After all, Wan Yankang was prepared to clean it with one hand

Strategy, if you just finished appointing a round of officials today, and you have caught a lot of people here, you have to draw up another vote tomorrow, how troublesome it should be.

The day before they ascended the throne, Wan Yankang and Xu Daosheng thought about it, and there were really too few civil officials in their hands. Fan Junping and Ouhua are his old team, and their governing ability is only slightly weaker than Xu Daosheng, and there is no problem for each of them to occupy the position of deputy minister, and there are a few pits of deputy ministers, and Wan Yankang can't find a radish to fill for a while......

"Your Majesty, please decide the positions of several deputy ministers and ministers quickly. Otherwise, the state decree will not be implemented, and it will not be a blessing for the people! Xu Dao was in good spirits when he was the prime minister, but after ten days, he felt that his energy was not good, and he couldn't take care of so many complicated things, so he had to go to the study to find Yan Kang.

Wan Yankang nodded and knocked on the table: "Sir, I want to use Fan Junping as the deputy minister, and concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry, and use Ouhua as the deputy minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, how about it?" ”

Xu Daosheng said repeatedly: "Dashan, what about the rest of the departments?" In his mind, it is not too important whether the deputy minister is in place or not, and the chief officials of the six ministries can relieve his political pressure.

Wan Yankang sighed: "Sir, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, I've calculated it in my head several times, but no one can top these positions, or sir, you are tired, and you also serve as a few books?" ”

Among Wan Yankang's existing team, the generals can be described as handsome, and the veteran Ye Siming and Wu Shiman and others can be called the famous commanders of the previous generation, that is, Xiao Baili, these young generals, have grown up rapidly after several wars, and there is no problem in leading a brigade to take charge alone.

There are really few civil officials who can handle it......

After hearing Yan Kang's words, Xu Daosheng shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, the old minister still wants to live for a few more years." ”

Wan Yankang spread out his hands and signaled that he had no other choice.

Xu Daosheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a few candidates in his heart, and I don't know if it is suitable or not. ”

Wan Yan Kang said: "Sir, why do you and I need to be so polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xu Daosheng stretched out a finger: "Yelu Yunbo, you can be any Shangshu." ”

Wan Yankang slapped his forehead: "Oops, why did I forget him." "Although Yelu Yunbo is not the old team of Yan Kang, this person has been conscientious and conscientious after he has served, and he has excellent official and political achievements, and his qualifications are not bad.

Xu Daosheng smiled slightly: "I don't know which part Your Majesty uses as the chief official?" ”

Wan Yankang thought for a while: "Yunbo can be the head of the household, sir, the rest of the candidates?" ”

Xu Daosheng took two deep breaths before he said slowly: "The two highnesses, King Zhao and King Rong, may be available." ”

Wan Yankang was silent for a while before he said, "Why did Mr. come up with this plan?" ”

Xu Daosheng said: "Your Majesty will neither change the country nor change the surname, nor will you imprison King Rong, why not let him be a high-ranking official, with the heart of the people of Anguo." ”

Wan Yankang pondered for a moment: "You can use King Rong as the deputy prime minister, and concurrently serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Xu Daosheng asked again: "What about King Zhao?" ”

After Yan Kang stood up, paced a few laps, and then slowly sat down, looking at Xu Daosheng seriously: "King Zhao is not suitable for being an official, just order him to be a great sect." ”

Insert a sentence, it's really good, it's worth pretending, and Android and Apple phones support it!

Xu Daosheng bowed and saluted: "Obey." ”

When he stepped out of the door of the study, Wan Yankang threw out another sentence.

"Sir, you inform him privately, let him invite himself, and go to the title of regent."

"Yes!"
