Chapter 275: Everyone is happy
Just when hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaoyang were cheering and queuing up to return from the gates, and then receiving the grain and cloth that had just been transported from the warehouses of those big families, the team of raiders in the city was still transporting the gold, silver and jewelry looted out to the governor's yamen
Of course, it's not just the governor's yamen.
A large part of it was also transported to the barracks before the White Pole Soldiers.
A good person like Yang Yishi will not treat his brothers badly, whether it is the white pole soldiers, Luo Cheng's subordinates or those Yehe cavalry, they will all be rewarded afterwards.
But you can't just take it yourself.
This is the rule of Yang Yanshi.
This rule has been well enforced because of Yang Xin's deterrent.
In short, the house is continued.
And it is estimated that it will not be completed today.
As for Zhu Wanliang, who was watching with his eyes, he could only take the defeated soldiers he had collected, and put the officials who committed suicide, the people who were injured by mistake, in short, the innocent people who died, all in the city, and put them in coffins, and they still did a good job. In this way, by the next day, the order of Liaoyang City had completely returned to normal, and the surrounding general soldiers, who had been in a panic, also knew the truth of the matter one after another, and shamelessly ran to accept his reprimand one by one.
However, after being reprimanded, all of them got more or less benefits.
Then everyone rejoices.
As for Qi Bingzhong's pursuit of Zhu Shichang
"Yang Yishi, the last general is incompetent, the last general pursued all the way to Fengji Fort, but he didn't want Zhu Shichang to return and Bao Chengxian mutiny and kill the chief soldier Hou Shilu, Fengji Fort was in turmoil, although the last general led the army to raid into Fengji Fort, he only caught Bao Chengxian, Zhu Shichang fled to Fushun Pass with part of the rebels, and the last general chased a trip and did not catch up."
Qi Bingzhong, who returned, said.
"That's it!"
Yang Xin said.
Zhu Shichang will definitely be killed.
"Forget it, you also caught Bao Chengxian, go to General Qin to get the silver, and since General Hou was martyred, let Luo Cheng go to Fengji Fort!"
Yang Xin said.
The defense of Fengji Fort was not weak.
In fact, there are also Hongyi cannons installed there, and there is basically no danger with Luo Zheng, who originally defended the lonely city in history, and the backup of Fengji Fort is Hupiyi, Qi Bingzhong, as his direct boss and the same Gansu people, will definitely not sit idly by when he encounters danger.
Of course, Qi Bingzhong agreed.
"By the way, did Bao Chengxian's leg break?"
Yang Xin asked.
"Uh, no."
Qi Bingzhong said.
"Hurry up and break his legs, and then send them to Zhang Shenwu!"
Yang Xin said.
Bao Chengxian is not from Liaodong.
He is a native of Yingxian County, Shanxi, a family of generals, originally in history as Liu Qu's deputy general to reinforce Xiping Fort, this guy is a famous escape general on the battlefield, who escaped all the way from Shenyang, naturally ran away first, and then Liu Qu died in battle He hid and then surrendered. He is Huang Taiji's main adviser, almost second only to Fan Wencheng, and the legend says that Yuan Dudu's death was designed by him and Gao Hongzhong, although even without their design, it is estimated that Chongzhen will not let Yuan Du Du go.
It's better to keep his identity and let the little emperor enjoy it!
"Yang Yanshi, Inspector Sun has arrived!"
Qin Minping hurriedly entered and said.
"Let's go, go and meet Inspector Sun first!"
Yang Xin said.
Taihe Gate.
Sun Chengzong, under the escort of Liang Zhongshan, looked at the moat with emotion.
At this time, the moat is no longer the previous sea of blood, the moat of Liaoyang City is drawn from the Taizi River, as long as the gate in the east of the city is opened, the continuous pouring of river water will soon wash the blood inside into the Taizi River bypassing in the north of the city. After a day of washing, the blood inside is no longer visible, but there are still a lot of heads scattered in the grass by the river, and several monks from Guangyou Temple are hooking out, which Yang Xin acquiesces.
After all, it smells bad after it stinks.
"One person is beheaded one thousand one hundred and thirty levels."
Liang Zhongshan said in horror.
"He is not a mortal, whether he is a god or a demon, whether he is an immortal or a demon no one knows, but he is really not a mortal, he can be called the force of ten thousand enemies, he knows astronomy and geography, and he can almost be said to know everything, but such a person does not know whether it is a blessing or a curse for me."
Sun Chengzong said with a complicated expression.
As a person from Beizhili who was familiar with Yang Xin, and theoretically also stood on the side of the little emperor, he also knew that it was wise for Yang Xin to squeeze the southern family and reduce the burden on the poor in the north. But as a traditional Confucian disciple, a member of the northern gentry group, and even the current core figure of the Northern Donglin Party, he can see at a glance the harm that Yang Xin has done to his camp.
In this case, his feelings towards Yang Xin were really complicated.
In fact, not only him, but also the current attitude of the northern gentry group towards Yang Xin is so complex and contradictory.
He did benefit from balancing the north and the south, and the northern gentry benefited.
But he was also bad for the gentry group.
Whether this person is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty or the disaster of the Ming Dynasty, they are really at a loss!
"Inspector Sun!"
Yang Xin shouted enthusiastically in front.
"Yang Servant, when Sun left Beijing, he was still worried about how to clean up the crisis in Liaodong, after Gaizhou landed on the shore, he knew that Yang Tuo had arrived, and Sun was completely relieved at that time, and sure enough, as soon as Yang Tuo's affair came out, this Liaodong saw the sun and suddenly opened up."
Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"The superintendent has won the award, Yang is an investigator, and the overall situation of Liaodong has to be presided over by the superintendent!"
Yang Xin said.
Then the two of them said a few words and went into the city together.
"It's in order!"
Sun Chengzong looked at the city and said.
Of course, this place is in order, just distributed rice and cloth, even the children were given candy, one by one, it was exactly like a festival, all with smiles on their faces, even those soldiers looked a lot more energetic, of course, the most important thing was the Yehe cavalry patrolling the streets, these guys are still very deterrent.
"The scum is all cleaned up, and the sky is naturally clear."
Yang Xin said.
"Then do you want to continue to clean up?"
Sun Chengzong looked at the soldiers and seals in front of the mansions of several gentry on the side of the road.
"Of course, get rid of the evil!"
Yang Xin said.
"Yang Yanshi, this generation is not really betraying the emperor, just afraid for a while, this is also human nature, if all the people who come out to welcome them are killed, then there will not be many people left in Liaoyang."
Sun Chengzong said.
"But the house always has to be copied."
Yang Xin said.
"Then what about Li Sancai's example?"
Sun Chengzong said.
"Listen to the superintendent, raid the house, the male is exiled, the female dependents and children are returned to their mother's house, and those who have nowhere to return will be handed over to Yang for other disposal, and the slaves and maids and the land property will be temporarily copied and disposed of."
Yang Xin said.
Most of the women and children are estimated to have nowhere to go.
After all, this Liaoyang family is almost the same pot, these people are all married to each other, and their maiden family was basically raided, so these people were packed by Yang Yanshi, nothing more than to bring them back to Guannei, although they were forcibly assigned to the Dangkou Army too much, and they were not men without life, they were just exiled. But it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in this life, because Yang Xin is going to throw these exiles to dig up guano, and after knowing that Ning Wanme and Luo Jinxiu are all included, Yang Yanshi is already ready to let this group of people dig guano for a lifetime.
It's good to dig up bird droppings!
Facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, the air is fresh, and you can also think about life in your spare time, maybe there will be a philosopher or something.
But these women and children will definitely not be able to stay here, which will only enrich Liaoyang's entertainment career.
But they can go to the Yang family's factory to work, such as embroidery, weaving and other jobs, these female dependents will definitely be able to, so that they can support themselves, and then they are willing to find someone to remarry, and if they are willing to wait for their man, Yang will also respect their choice.
Anyway, he wasn't ready to let their men come back alive.
And the slaves and maids here have to be disposed of separately.
Because many of the family slaves and maids here are actually Jiannu, North Korea, Mongolia and the like, of course, they can't be directly released as good people, so they need to be operated to become slaves and maids of the Yang family.
And the serfs themselves are directly given good books, and these serfs are certainly not in this category.
They gave back good titles, and those military households who were originally reduced to tenants directly divided the land, and the military households who cultivated the thin land were re-rented, that is, completely according to the Wuxi side, but because of the grain production problem here, the land rent was directly set for one or two achievements. But this year is not good, because this year's autumn harvest is coming soon, and re-dividing the land will involve a lot of trouble, so simply directly who planted it, and then divided the land after the harvest.
Including those who have to pay by military households, they are also exempted.
At this time, it was not possible to collect much grain from military households in a year.
During the Hongwu period, only Liaodong Tuntian, a year can collect 700,000 stones, this is the military household handed over, Liaodong 25 Wei is not more than 100,000 people, the 700,000 stone can almost meet eighty percent of military needs.
But now there are only 170,000 stone a year.
As a result, all the armies in Liaodong relied on the supply of the Guannei, and the food needed by the army had to be accompanied by a large-scale transportation system, which itself also needed grain or silver, and finally the more troops the Ming invested in Liaodong, the heavier the burden, and continued to accumulate until the financial collapse.
In fact?
There are 100,000 Liaodong who can really fight, all of them are honest.
Even 50,000 is enough.
Just like Wu Xiang said to Chongzhen, if I really have 30,000 people who can fight, can I still make the world erosive like this? But my army of 80,000 is only 30,000, but only 3,000 of the 30,000 can fight.
This is how the Ming finances collapsed.
Even with the current price of five taels of rice in Liaodong, what Yang Xin looted this time was enough for the Apocalypse to exempt the military households in Liaodong from handing over for five years, and as long as they did not hand over the grain, those military households did not have to support themselves. As long as the military households can support themselves, and then train in the militia system, and gradually restore the combat effectiveness of the military households, there is no need to return to the peak of the Hongwu Dynasty, as long as it can reach the level of the early Yongle Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will be invincible in this Liaodong.
The key is to feed the military households.
Liaoyang took advantage of this opportunity to get started, and Guangning started it again.
This is enough, it doesn't take many military households in the early Yongle Dynasty to deal with Jiannu.
