Chapter Ninety-Eight: Outstanding Results
Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, looked at Li Gang and said.
"Are these true or fake?"
"Your Majesty may ask the envoy of Western Xia."
Li Gang said.
The eyes of the Great Song Dynasty and the civil and military forces of the Great Song Dynasty all converged on Liang Chenghe.
Liang Chenghe's face was a little ugly, but he still said.
"Back to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, these are all true, and the foreign minister asks His Majesty to have mercy on my Western Xia and send troops to rescue."
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, plus the artist emperor Zhao Ji, all fell into a stupor, which is really true.
In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, which was extremely powerful in combat, was almost destroyed by a traitor.
"The envoy should retreat first, Zheng Hui will discuss with Zheng's Manchu civil and military forces, and then decide whether to send troops or not."
Zhao Ji waved his hand and motioned for Liang Chenghe to retreat.
In his opinion, at this moment, the Western Xia no longer has the strength to threaten the Great Song Frontier, so there is no need to take this Western Xia envoy seriously.
It stands to reason that in this case, the news has already spread to Tokyo City and has become public news, and it is impossible for Zhao Ji not to get the news.
But he just didn't, the Great Song Dynasty's version of the "Dongchang and Jinyiwei" Imperial City Division had been scrapped by the artist emperor.
And, until now, this one has no heart to straighten it out......
……
After Zhao Ji discussed with the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, the result was that the traitor who sent the envoy to Qin Fenglu was not a large army to suppress it.
Now there are also people in the south of the Great Song Dynasty who are rebelling, and compared with the border places like Qinfeng Road, it is actually more important to be in the south, which provides a large amount of taxes.
As for who the envoy is, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials recommended Li Gang, who was too upright, and let him send the envoy the best, so that everyone's ears can be clean for a few days.
It would be better if he was killed by a traitor, and everyone would be clean from now on!
As for the Western Xia envoys......
has long been forgotten by them, a messenger of Western Xia who can't even defeat a single rebel, where is it worthy of them, the "moth stone of the country".
……
Chen Yan led the army back to Anping County, first went to comfort the families of the dead and disabled soldiers, and paid tribute to the tombs of the soldiers who died in the war.
Then I started to deal with the official business that had been piling up for a long time.
The Dang Capture Army is still training, several recruits have been pulled out for training, and veterans are still repairing.
The number of officers needed has increased by a large number as the number of officers needed has expanded, and the vacant positions need to be carefully considered as to who should be placed in that position.
First of all, the most important thing is the position of the chief and deputy commander of the first army of the Dangju Army, and the position of the chief and deputy commander of the five battalions.
Countless high-ranking members of the Swinging Army were staring at several positions.
Chen Yan thought about it for a long time before deciding.
He personally served as the commander of the First Army of the Dangju Army, and Zhang Sanhu served as the deputy commander.
Wang Guo, commander of the first battalion, and Zhou Haitong, deputy of the battalion.
Li Wu, commander of the second battalion, and Hu Poyu, deputy of the battalion.
Zhang Sihu, commander of the third battalion, and Li Feng, deputy of the battalion.
Fang Wei, commander of the fourth battalion, and Lu Bao, deputy of the battalion.
Xu Qianshan, commander of the fifth battalion, and Lu Jie, deputy of the battalion.
Among them, Xu Qianshan, Lu Bao, Lu Jie, etc., are all extremely brave in the begging army and have emerged in battle.
After Chen Yan elected these arrivals, he began to issue appointments.
After doing this, Chen Yan asked Zhou Lide to set up a secretariat, which was responsible for helping with some less important things by his side and assisting Chen Yan in handling official business.
……
Chen Yan convened the first joint meeting of the Privy Council and the Cabinet of the Sweeping Army, and summoned almost all the high-ranking members of the Sweeping Army to gather together for a meeting.
Chen Yan nodded, and Zhou Lide, who was beside Chen Yan, read it with a stack of documents.
"According to statistics, there are 30,000 troops in our army, and all of them have been trained."
"Under the rule of 173,162 households, 607,439 people in Dingkou, occupy Qinzhou, Minzhou, Xizhou, Lanzhou, Weizhou, Xining, Zhuo Luo and Nanjun Division, Xiliang Prefecture...... etc. ”
"In the treasury there are 1,700,000 taels of money, 4,000 taels of silver, 7,000 taels of gold, countless jewels, millions of stones of grain, and 100,000 horses of cloth......
"There are more than 500 workshops of all kinds and more than 60 mines, which can produce all kinds of goods worth millions of dollars every month, 1,300 tons of steel, 2,000 pairs of plate armor per month, 4,000 ring knives, 200 muskets, and 20 artillery."
"Cement, soap, glass...... And many more! ”
After Zhou Lide finished reading, he retreated behind Chen Yan.
"It took us more than half a year to go from nothing to where we are now, and I'm very grateful for everyone's efforts."
Chen Yan stood up from his seat and said, bowing to everyone in the audience as he spoke.
"Thank you!"
"The Metropolitan Governor is polite, this is what we should do."
"The Metropolitan Governor, we just do what you tell us to do, and you are really working hard."
"These are the works of the Grand Duke."
“……”
A group of people said with some trepidation.
A smile appeared on Chen Yan's face.
Very well, his authority is established, and no matter how humble he is, these people are beginning to fear him.
"The next thing we have to do is turn everything we control into strategic resources."
"Don't we have a lot of prisoners of war on our hands, scatter them and throw them all into those mines to open mines."
"Ma Liu."
Chen Yan shouted.
"Governor, I'm here."
Ma Liu stood up and said.
"How did you contact the big businessmen of Jingzhao Mansion over there?"
"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, contact it, as long as we have goods here, they will all buy them at the market price."
"It's good, but we can't rely on them alone, Wu Linglong, you also have to find a way to open up trade routes, other people's are just other people's after all."
"Yes."
Wu Linglong received the order, her recent work has been really good, at least the entire trade routes of Qinfeng Road have been rolled out, and the caravan of the Dang Capture Army can go deep into every village, every market town, and directly contact ordinary villagers to sell goods.
Even the neighboring Yongxing Military Road, Lizhou Road, that is, Shaanxi and Hanzhong, she has been connected, and the trade road may be paved at any time.
With the spread of trade routes, the intelligence system of the Dang Capture Army is also rapidly spreading, and countless intelligence officers have gone deep into the countryside to inquire about the situation.
After the army of the Swingers attacks and captures this place, the information provided by these people will allow the Raiders to quickly pacify the place.
Anyway, it is to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and kill landlords and wealthy businessmen whose reputation is too bad, and killing them will not only win the hearts of the people, but also obtain a large amount of money and materials, so why not do it.
Anyway, these people are not good things, and the reputable army will not move!
In addition to distributing the confiscated land to the soldiers who joined the army, Chen Yan also rented it to the peasants at low interest, which not only ensured local stability and a way for the peasants to survive, but also ensured that the grain harvest in the coming year would not be drastically reduced due to the war.
Until now, the Swinging Army is still buying food from the outside world!
In addition to sulfur, saltpeter, lead and other materials, the largest item in the army's foreign procurement list is actually grain.
