And the king awoke on the second day.

After waking up, he learned that 840,000 people chased the Liao soldiers out of the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

He brought 800,000 people over and killed them for the Liao soldiers.

But he didn't expect that 800,000 people would be killed.

Two days later.

Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang took people and waited nervously on the border of Song and Liao.

I waited for two days.

The first group of civilians who went to chase and kill the Liao soldiers returned, and the number was about fifteen thousand.

Each person has one or two Liao heads hanging from their waists.

The reason why it is said to be Liao people is because some of them slaughtered the heads of the Liao people, not the Liao soldiers.

With only one head, no one can tell whether they are soldiers or people.

Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang did not reprimand them, but registered their lives and merits, and confiscated their horses and blades, but did not touch their other booty.

In the future, Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui led people to guard the border line.

Every day someone came back, and none of them came empty-handed.

Ten days later.

More than 300,000 people returned to the Great Song Dynasty.

And the number of heads they offered exceeded 600,000.

However, the Liao soldiers who attacked the Great Song Dynasty this time were only 200,000.

A month later.

There were 700,000 people who returned to the Great Song Dynasty.

They brought back the heads of Zhang Jian and Wu Shuda, as well as the heads of all the officials sent by the Liao State to serve on the Southwest Road, as well as the heads of all the tribal leaders and all the tribesmen on the Southwest Road of the Liao State.

After gathering the heads of all the generals and officials of the Liao State on this expedition to the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the heads of all the people with heads and faces on the Southwest Road.

Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang knew one thing.

The southwest road of Liaoguo was killed, and the remaining more than 100,000 people may not be able to come back.

Yang Wenguang sent a group of soldiers and horses to the southwest road of the Liao State to check and confirm the matter.

In the southwest road of Liaoguo, except for the headless corpses, there is not a single living thing.

Cattle, sheep, wild beasts, and other animals were eaten by the people who had been washed out.

The king was so frightened that he immediately dispersed the people who had returned, scattered them and resettled them in the localities as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered the local yamen to take strict care of them in accordance with the law.

Subsequently, Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang discussed, took advantage of the situation to establish three temporary local soldiers and horses, entered the southwest road of Liaoguo, and took over the southwest road of Liaoguo.

I thought that this matter would be completely over.

But I didn't expect that after those people who had left their nationality returned to the locality, they would make waves again.

In Xingqingfu and other places, there are millions of people who have been reformed through labor.

Although there are people who have left the country in previous years, there are not many, and one by one they either left by studying or by virtue of good performance.

Therefore, the prisoners were very envious, but they were not blushing.

Because it is through their own efforts that they do what others are unwilling to do, they have successfully left the country.

But in this war, the people who participated in the war not only got out of their own nationality, but also exchanged their military exploits for their own family members, and nearly 1.5 million people were removed from their nationality at once, some people not only got out of their nationality, but also received rewards such as houses, fields, cattle and sheep, and some people obtained official status through this.

For a time, the other people who were reformed through labor were stimulated.

The yamen of the local government were surrounded in an instant.

Urgent reports were sent one after another to the government of Weifu Mansion in Montenegro.

Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang looked at those urgent reports, one head and two big.

Yang Wenguang sat in the main hall in the yamen, rubbed his eyebrows, and said with some worry: "Inspector Wang, what should I do now?" ”

At present, the Song and Liao countries are in a big war, and if the war is not over, the Zhenbei Army cannot move without permission.

Therefore, Yang Wenguang had no way to lead troops to suppress the people who had besieged the labor reform of the government and yamen in various places.

However, millions of people who have been reformed through labor are besieging the government yamen in various places, and after a long time, something will definitely happen.

If it is not resolved as soon as possible, if someone takes the opportunity to incite it, it is not clear that the government yamen in various places will be overturned, and millions of people who have been reformed through labor will turn into mobs.

Millions of people have turned into mobs, and not only the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty will suffer, but the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty will probably also be implicated.

Wang Sui looked miserable, "At first, the old man just wanted to use those people who were reformed through labor to help you keep the Weifu Mansion in Montenegro...... But I didn't expect ......"

Yang Wenguang sighed and said: "I didn't expect them to be so cruel, not only cut down the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State, but even killed the southwest road of the Liao State, and slaughtered the Liao people inside." ”

Wang Sui nodded with a sad face.

Yang Wenguang took a deep breath, stared at Wang Sui and said, "But now is not the time to talk about this, what we have to do now is how to appease these millions of people who have been reformed through labor."

If it is pacified, everything is nothing, and if it is not pacified, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come.

At present, the two battlefields where the official family and Kou Shumi's are have not yet won.

If there is trouble in our northern border, it is very likely to affect the two battlefields where the official family and Kou Shumi are seated.

What the outcome of those two battlefields decides, Wang Inspector should be clear. ”

Wang Sui nodded painfully.

Those two battlefields determined the status of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and also indirectly affected the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty.

So there is no room for error.

Seeing the two of them with sad faces, Wang Yi groaned and said: "Those people who have been reformed through labor besieged the local yamen, and all they ask for is the household registration of my Great Song Dynasty, so it is better to give them first, appease them, and then clean them up after the war is over." ”

"No!"

"No!"

Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui spoke almost at the same time, and there was still some horror on their faces.

Yang Wenguang glared at Wang Yidao: "If it is easy to give them my household registration of the Great Song Dynasty and let them taste the sweetness, then they will not besiege the local yamen again and again in the future and find trouble for the local yamen?"

What's more, more than 800,000 people who had been reformed through labor before fought desperately against the Liao people, and injured more than 100,000 people before they obtained the household registration of our Great Song Dynasty.

If we give the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty to those people who have not contributed to the transformation of the Great Song Dynasty, it will be easy.

What will the people who have worked so hard to get their household registration think?

If they unite to get justice to us, what are we going to do?

They have now obtained my Great Song household registration, and they are upright Song people.

If they besiege the local yamen, we can only watch.

If we kill someone without permission and cause a popular uprising, the official family will personally hold them accountable.

When the time comes, you and I will probably lose our heads. ”

Holding the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty, he is the common people of the Great Song Dynasty.

The successive officials of the Great Song Dynasty were very generous to the people.

The people have committed the great crime of killing their heads, and if they need to cut off their heads, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty will personally review it.

If someone kills the people without permission, and no one investigates them, it may be over.

But if someone investigates, they will definitely investigate thoroughly.

Therefore, once the 1.5 million people who have left their nationality surround the yamen of various government offices and ask for justice, Yang Wenguang will not be able to deal with it even if he brings the Zhenbei army over.

In the Great Song Dynasty, when the people besieged the yamen of various local governments, the imperial court would definitely send ministers to inspect.

When the minister arrives at the locality, if he finds that there are too many people besieging the government yamen and it is difficult to disperse them, he will first behead one or two officials of the local yamen to calm the anger of the people.

Although the officials in private bullied the people to death, in the official face, the people are the biggest.

It is not difficult to see from the fact that the people in Bianjing City have repeatedly offended some of the rules set by the royal family, but the royal family has rarely held them accountable.

Therefore, once the people gather to make trouble, it is very difficult to deal with it.

Once the knife is used to kill people, it causes a popular uprising.

The imperial court will definitely kill a group of officials who caused the popular uprising and give an explanation to the people.

After Yang Wenguang reprimanded Wang Yi, Wang Sui said solemnly: "The reason why the imperial court can win the support of the people is because some legal provisions formulated by the imperial court must be implemented once they are issued.

Unless the people do not approve of it, or there is a mistake in the letter of the law issued, the letter of the law issued by the court is an iron law.

Iron law, everyone in the government and the opposition must obey it.

If the imperial court changes its decree, it is easy to lose trust with the people.

The court lost its trust in the people, and the people would no longer trust the court.

The people did not trust the court, so they had no fear of it.

If there is no fear of the imperial court, they will dare to do anything.

Leaving the country by virtue of military merits, by studying, and by virtue of good performance has been observed by the people who have been reformed through labor for several years.

They have endorsed the rule.

If we break the rules and give them benefits, they will be happy to see it.

But if we give them any more benefits, we will take them back in turn.

They will definitely unite as one and deal with the imperial court.

Therefore, your solution will not help us solve the immediate problem at all.

It's also easy to provoke a big disaster for us to kill our heads. ”

Under the reprimand of Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui, Wang Yi understood that he had a stupid idea, and immediately admitted his mistake and said: "It's a reckless deed." ”

Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui sighed together and did not say anything more.

The people of the labor reform besieged the government, and they had too many concerns about dealing with it, and they really didn't know how to solve it.

Tactics such as division and co-optation are simply useless.

Millions of people can't be solved by dividing and co-opting.

After being silent for a long time, Yang Wenguang suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Or...... Give them knives and let them out ......"

When Wang Sui heard this, his heart trembled, and he stared at Yang Wenguang in horror.

More than 800,000 people poured into Liao, and there were no living people on the southwest road of Liaoguo.

Millions of people poured into the Liao country, and it is difficult to say whether there will be any living people left in the western border of the Liao country.

Chop off one head to get out of the country, cut off two heads to divide the enemy.

The more you cut, the greater the reward.

Those guys came out of the Great Song Dynasty, and when no one was restrained, they killed red-eyed, and their own people dared to kill.

In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there are things that happen every year.

Out of the Great Song Dynasty, it is even more common to kill good and take risks.

Once those guys are released, the slaughter will be terrifying.

Yang Wenguang seemed to see Wang Sui's concern, and he said in a deep voice: "It's better to let them go out and harm the Liao people than for them to stay in my Great Song Dynasty and harm my Song people, right?" ”

Wang Sui said in a trembling voice: "That's two million and three hundred thousand, not two hundred and thirty. They dare to go out, and if they don't cut off a single head, they will definitely not come back. ”

Yang Wenguang stared at Wang Sui and asked, "Do you have a way to keep them from making trouble?" ”

Wang Sui gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word.

He couldn't help it.

If I could, I wouldn't sit here.

Not to mention that he is the king, even if Lu Yijian and the three of them arrive, there is no way to solve it.

If Kou Ji arrived, Kou Ji would choose the same method as Yang Wenguang.

After Wang Sui was silent for a long time, he suddenly looked at Yang Wenguang and said in a deep voice: "If it is...... If they have done a terrible killing...... I'm afraid your career will stop here......"

Once those people are released to make a heinous killing, the account will be calculated on the heads of Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang at that time.

for they let people out.

When the time comes, the names of human slaughter and human demons will fall on the heads of the two of them.

If they have the reputation of human slaughter and human demons, the two of them will not be promoted in the future.

The people of the government and the opposition did not want to see people such as human slaughter and human demons appear on the vertical arch hall.

Such people can only stay on the border for the rest of their lives.

The two of them have now risen to the top of the magistrate's office.

Further up, it is to enter the center and return to Beijing to report on work.

Once you take on the name of human slaughter and human demons, there is no way to return to Beijing.

You can only stay in the place for the rest of your life, and you can't be promoted for the rest of your life.

Yang Wenguang heard Wang Sui's words, and said in a deep voice: "I, Yang Wenguang, have been committed to the country since the day I joined the army. I don't care about life or death, how can I care about some small fame. ”

Wang Sui smiled bitterly, "The old man is not the kind of person who can't give up his reputation. The old man just thinks that you are still young and have a long career, so there is no need to ruin your future for this matter. ”

Yang Wenguang shook his head and smiled, and said, "I am already ranked as the Duke of the Kingdom, where can I go if I am promoted again?" I don't know anything but war. Even if you enter the center, you can't fight others, so it's better to stay here and be comfortable. ”

Wang Sui sighed and said, "I'm afraid the old man will have to stay here for the rest of his life." Li Di promised the rest of his life to Hexi and became an old scalper sitting in Hexi. The old man also promised the rest of his life to Xingqing Mansion and other places to be an old scalper in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yang Wenguang bowed to Wang Sui, "If someone deals with me in the future, you have to help me stop one or two." ”

Wang Sui laughed, "You are not an ordinary petty official, if someone really wants to deal with you, I can't stop you." ”

Yang Wenguang smiled, but did not say much.

He asked Wang Sui to help him stop one or two, but it was actually just a rhetoric.

He actually wanted Wang Sui to remind him when he had something to do.

Wuchen's biggest opponent was Wenchen.

The ministers of the means are yin and heart.

Yang Wenguang knew that he was not an opponent, so if he really wanted Wenchen to deal with him, he naturally needed Wang Sui to take care of him.

Wang Sui's answer is also very interesting, he seems to have rejected Yang Wenguang, but there is an ulterior motive in his words.

He told Yang Wenguang that if an ordinary petty official stumbled Yang Wenguang, he would naturally help with it.

But if it is difficult for Yang Wenguang to be a person whose status exceeds his, he can't do anything.

"The old man goes to write the paperwork, and you prepare the sword soldiers for them. There are so many of them, so we have to release them in batches. And after they left my Great Song Dynasty, I will give them swords again to prevent them from fighting back. ”

After Wang Sui laughed, he said in a deep voice.

Yang Wenguang nodded.

Subsequently, Wang Sui wrote down the documents and sent them to the prefectures.

Yang Wenguang began to prepare blades for those people.

The soldiers of Weifu Mansion in Montenegro were not enough, so Yang Wenguang specially sent a letter to the iron smelting department in Xiazhou to mobilize a group.

Subsequently, people from various provinces slowly gathered in Weifu Province in Montenegro.

Yang Wenguang ordered people to take them out of the Great Song Dynasty, gave them swords, and let them leave.

Half a month later.

More than a million people have left the province of Wifu in Montenegro.

The reason why there are only more than one million is because the rest of the people are almost all old, weak, sick and disabled.

They can't go to war, let alone fight people.

Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui ordered people to build a barracks in the border area of Song and Liao.

The two stood in front of the barracks, looked at the endless prairie in the northern Liaodi, and sighed.

"I don't know how many murderous ...... they will make"

Wang Sui sighed.

Yang Wenguang said in a deep voice: "I don't care how many killings they can make, I just want to know how far they can go." ”

Wang thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say...... It's hard to say......"

Seeing this, Yang Wenguang didn't ask much.

The two of them were guarding the border.

Waiting for them to come back.

There have been huge changes in the Weifu Mansion of Montenegro, and Zhao Zhen, who is far away in Youzhou City, and Kou Ji, who is far away in Yumen Pass, do not know.

Because the documents submitted by Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui were to be handed over to Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, it would take at least a month.

……

Hexi.

Outside the Jade Gate.

The plague had been brought under control, and of the more than 200,000 captives in Kou Ji's hands, less than 100,000 remained.

More than 20,000 Song Dynasty soldiers died under the plague, and more than 6,000 people died.

Everyone who has experienced this plague has a deep understanding of the horror of the plague.

Kou Ji led the rest of the men, stood outside the three huge tents, looked at the raging fire, and let out a long sigh.

After experiencing a plague, he felt the insignificance of human beings.

In the face of the plague, human life is worse than grass mustard, more like ants, let the plague harvest.

From the breeding of the plague, to its birth, to its outbreak, there were more than 300,000 people who died in front of the Yumen Pass, not counting other places.

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi isolated the plague on the side of the Le River, and they were isolated for half a month.

From the news they sent back from before and after, Koji learned that 150,000 people had died in the barracks by the Lehe River.

In addition, the soldiers sent by Chong Shiheng to garrison Suoyang City and Guazhou City were less than 300 dead.

Under their strict control, the plague killed nearly half a million people.

If they let go, I'm afraid 500,000 people won't be able to stop them.

"Finally drove this demon away......"

Kou Ji let out a long sigh.

Under the strict control of the blade, those who were plagued by the plague and those who might have contracted the plague were killed.

So the corpses were all incinerated.

All the things used by those infected with the plague were burned.

The plague has finally stopped.

More than 300,000 soldiers and horses led by Jiao Guluo and Yuanshan also approached Yumen Pass.

"Kou Shumi, according to the report of the spies, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses led by Jiao Guluo and Yuan Shan will arrive at Yumen Pass in one day. Inspector Du asks you to return to the customs to preside over the military affairs. ”

An adjutant from the Yamen of Hexi Mansion stood not far behind Kou Ji and bowed down to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji ignored him, but looked sideways at a lieutenant not far away, "When will Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaoshi arrive?" ”

The captain bowed down and said, "Tong Zhi and General Chen have already passed through Guazhou City with their soldiers and horses, and it may take a day and a half to get here." ”

Kou Ji frowned slightly, "Tell them that within a day, I will see them to Yumen Pass." ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, and looked at Kou Ji with some astonishment.

Kou Ji glanced at him and said lightly: "This is a Privy Council order!" ”

The lieutenant trembled, and said decisively: "......"

After the captain agreed, he decisively rode on horseback and went to find Chong Shiheng and Chen Yao to give orders.

After Kou Ji left, he said lightly to the adjutant of the Yamen of Hexi Mansion: "You take the soldiers and the Black Khan people into the customs first, and I will rest here again." ”

The adjutant hurriedly agreed, and led the soldiers and the Black Khan people to the pass.

Whether it was the soldiers or the Black Khan, before leaving, they all respectfully saluted Kou Ji.

The soldiers saluted Kou Ji because Kou Ji was the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and the first person in the Great Song Dynasty military.

The Black Khan people saluted Koji because he was their oracle.

Kou Ji didn't deliberately package himself as an oracle, but after the Black Khan people learned Kou Ji's identity, they decisively regarded Kou Ji as an oracle.

Because the Black Khan King Yu Sufu abandoned them, and Kou Ji took them in and saved them.

They felt that Koji was spreading light to them in God's place.

Of course, the reason why the Black Khan people recognized the identity of the Kouji Divine Envoy so quickly was also because someone was secretly agitating.

There are still wise men among the Black Khans.

They knew very well that it would be far more beneficial for them to recognize Koji as an oracle than to treat Koji as the head of the enemy.

The oracle is his own to them.

As long as they kneel and lick thoroughly enough, the oracle will be merciful.

The head of the enemy, then it is not his own people.

It was the enemy who controlled their life and death.

If they show hostility to an enemy who controls their life and death, they will most likely guillotine.

After all, they watched as Kou Ji dragged out some people suspected of being infected with the plague and cut them down.

Cut one or two people, they are not afraid.

But Kou Ji cut down more than 100,000 people, and he didn't frown, so he couldn't help but be afraid.

After all, there are only more than 100,000 of them who have survived.

Koji knew the Black Khan's thoughts, but he didn't care.

After the soldiers and the Black Khan people entered the Yumen Pass, Kou Ji looked at the scorched earth outside the Yumen Pass, and said with a complicated expression: "Next year...... Good crops will be grown here...... I hope there won't be any more plagues here in the future......"

Kou Ji carefully inspected the land where more than 400,000 people were buried, and after confirming that there were no hidden dangers, he rode his horse into Yumen Pass.

Subsequently, it was a battle with the king of Qingtang.
