Chapter 1099: The General Stiffens the Prison Army
Beibu Gulf, Qinjiang Port.
Jiangkou Wharf is busy.
Oxen and horses arrived with truckloads full of goods, and the red-robed sergeants unloaded the goods like ants, counted and registered them, repacked them, and then loaded them onto the ship.
Yulin Lang Liu Renliang personally took the Yulin Army to guard the dock.
"Gong Li, this is a list."
Li Jing, the pacification envoy of Lingnan Jingluo, the commander of the Zuodu Governor of Guangdong, the Taishou of the South China Sea, and the general of Tiance, Wei Guogong, handed over a fold to a man in a black robe, the man had a white face and beard, and was in his thirties, but his white face was not kind.
"There's Lao Weigong." The white-faced man took it, flipped it over casually, and then handed it to a black-clothed man next to him who was also white-faced and beardless.
There are quite a few such black-clothed people on the docks.
They were incompatible with the red-robed soldiers and the purple-green and green-robed officials, but even Li Jing had to be very polite to him, so he knew that this person was by no means simple.
These black-clothed men were eunuchs sent by the emperor's internal service province, and they were the personal individuals of the Son of Heaven, and they wore black robes to distinguish them from the officials and generals. Although these people are all of low grades, such as the person in front of them who is called Li Gong by Li Jing, he only gives Li Fuguo from within the five grades.
He was not this name, the auxiliary country was given by the emperor, it is said that he was loyal, and once blocked arrows for the emperor when he was outside the gate, so he was very important, and he was given the name of the auxiliary country, and he was awarded the internal matter.
He went south with Li Jing, ostensibly he was a consolation soldier, but in fact he was responsible for supervising the army. Fortunately, although Li Fuguo is also relatively capable, he didn't think much about interfering with Li Jing's actions, and the relationship between the two was not bad along the way.
Now that Li Fuguo is going back to Beijing, Li Jing is very polite to see him off.
"Ning's industry is really a lot." Li Fuguo said with a smile, and finally showed a little smile on his white face.
Li Jing immediately said, "The children of the two branches of the Ning clan, Ning Chang, Zhenning, and Daoming, have all been captured, and the properties in their clans have all been confiscated, and the fields, houses, slaves, and shops have all been registered and confiscated into the Yamen treasury, and their gold, silver, pearls, spices, money, silk and other things have all been packed and sent here, and they will be transported back to Luoyang with the Li Gong ship to be presented to the saints." β
The Ning clan has been operating in Guangxi for several generations, and before its defeat, it still possessed three counties, and its strength can be described as strong and abnormal. However, once defeated, the court will naturally not be polite to him again.
The emperor's will has been delivered, and Ning Changzhen, Ning Daoming, and the two Ning clans have been dealt with for the crime of rebellion, and Ning Chun has been transferred to the court as the general of the left imperial guard.
It can be said that Ning's was uprooted this time.
Not only were all the properties of Ning Changzhen and Ning Daoming confiscated, but in fact, Ning Chun's did not keep much, there was only one city left in Yongping before, and many of Ning Chun's industrial wealth were also trapped in the rebels, Li Fuguo was not polite to Ning Chun's water dog, and directly confiscated most of Ning Chun's property in the name of thieves, and only left him a little in Yongping City.
Li Fuguo not only forcibly seized more than ninety percent of Ning Chun's property, but also forced him to vomit out the money of Feng Xuan's property that Chen Longshu had swallowed after breaking Feng Xuan, and even beat Chen Longshu by the way, forcing him to return to blood.
As for Tan Dian and Pang Xiaotai, not to mention, Li Fuguo almost knocked out half of the property of the two.
A few people brought the complaint to Li Jing, but so what, Li Jing also knew very well that Li Fuguo's blackmail was not private greed, he was just the emperor's glove, and he just came forward for the emperor.
"The entry of these light goods into Beijing can also alleviate the financial difficulties of the imperial court today." Li Fuguo looked worried about the country and the people, and Li Jing could only laugh, "Just think of it as the taxes owed by Lingnan in the past few years." β
What Li Fuguo took away were light goods, that is, those valuable things, gold, silver, pearls, jade, rhino horns, ivory, spices, money, silk, etc., as for grain, slaves, and all kinds of bulky furniture, as well as real estate, farms, manors, shops, etc., all of which were confiscated and left to the local government.
In fact, the floating wealth goes into the emperor's treasury, and the rest goes to the treasury.
Of course, in the end, it is necessary to stay in the counties and counties, as well as reward the labor army, etc., and the rest can be handed over to the national treasury.
Light cargo is valuable, but easy to carry.
More than 30 treasure ships, as well as hundreds of merchant ships, will return this time with a full load of these light cargoes.
This time, a large amount of grain was also copied, but Li Fuguo was not interested, and returned to Luoyang with a boatload of rice, so it was better to bring back a box of gold.
"Duke Wei, if Chen Longshu, Feng An, Tan Dian, Pang Xiaotai and others are unwilling to accept the will of the saint and take up a new position, Duke Wei can hand them over to me, and I will deal with them."
These days, Li Fuguo is busy looting money everywhere, not only blackmailing the Ning's Feng's Chen's Tan and others everywhere, but even many small heroes and slang handsomes have not let go, sending people to talk one by one and then asking for tribute.
While busy looting, he is also busy killing people.
If you don't kill people and don't see blood, you can't always stand up, and no one is afraid.
Those who are not subordinate to the Ning clan will be killed. Whoever hides the property of the traitor and does not hand it over, kills. Those rebels who took the opportunity to make trouble, kill. There are also local ruffians and hooligans, kill.
even killed a lot of soldiers who had just quelled the rebellion and made meritorious contributions, some of whom were also old Qin soldiers, but after the war, they were blinded by the gold and silver in Lingnan, and Li Fuguo was also killed.
Li Fuguo searched a lot of money and killed a lot of people.
He even killed a dozen people he brought, including eunuchs who had no eggs like him, and guards. These people pass by tens of thousands of dollars and light goods in their hands every day, and many people are fascinated by money, and they all want to make a profit.
Li Fuguo did not hesitate to kill these people.
"Saint's things, whoever dares to be greedy, I will be the first to kill him."
Although Ning Chun was dissatisfied, he had no other choice now, he had already agreed to enter Beijing with Li Gong. As for Feng Ang and Chen Longshu, they were very dissatisfied, but they had already persuaded them, and they were also willing to accept the dispatch of the imperial court. And Tan Dian and Pang Xiaotai have both accepted the order. β
"That's a bit of a pity, in fact, I still wish they didn't obey the imperial court's order, so I don't mind killing a few more people, and it can be regarded as solving the Lingnan problem once and for all." Li Fuguo smiled gloomily.
Li Jing hurriedly said, "I just experienced a rebellion, let's be stable first, if you are in a hurry, it will inevitably be chaos again." β
At present, Canton Road consists of seven counties: Nanhai County, Yi'an County, Longchuan County, Xiping County, Xin'an County, Yongxi County and Gaoliang County.
Guangxi Province has jurisdiction over nine counties: Guilin County, Cangwu County, Yongping County, Yulin County, Nanning County, Ningyue County, Hepu County, Haikou County and Sanya County.
Quang Nam Province has four counties: Cochin, Jiuzhen, Ninan and Sunset.
Sunset was only a fief of Luo Yi, there were two counties of Sunset and Wenyang, this time Luo Yi expanded to the west of Beiliang and Nantang counties, so the imperial court set up a new Sunset County, under the jurisdiction of these four counties, and at the same time the imperial court awarded Li Jing to Beiliang, gave him 200 miles of fiefdom, and gave him the title of Beiliang Guogong. Jia Runpu, the governor of Jinyi Wei, was awarded the title of Southern Tang Dynasty, and was given a fief of 200 miles, and was knighted as the Duke of Southern Tang.
Sunset County therefore had three princes, although Luo Yi expanded the territory for the imperial court, but the imperial court did not add the newly laid land to him, but granted two new princes to come, of course, the emperor also gave Luo Yi another reward for opening the territory, that is, to give him a lot of slaves and money.
In fact, this is not the emperor's original intention, but the meaning of the courtiers, they think that Luo Yixi's expansion of territory, although the starting point and purpose are good, but in fact it is also against the imperial court's management system for the princes, and finally they think that the territory that has been laid down in violation of the law should not be rewarded to Luo Yi.
But in the end, although the emperor newly sealed the two princes to establish the country in the past, he still added a hundred miles of fiefdom to Luo Yi.
In addition, the imperial court finally set up the fiefdom of the Three Kingdoms as a new county, no longer managed by Ninan County, but directly established Sunset County, appointed officials such as Taishou, Juncheng, and Duwei, and added a government barracks of 500 people to Sunset County.
"Forget it, since Duke Wei doesn't want me to interfere, then our family won't be disgusted, our family is gone, Yulin Jun has to take it away, these are His Majesty's treasures, these are more than a dozen folded, and I don't know how to be reprimanded by His Majesty when I go back to our house."
Li Jing was a little reluctant when he heard that he was going to take away the thousand and one feather forests.
I thought that with these people in Lingnan, I could use them as the foundation to rebuild the government soldiers in Lingnan, but I couldn't imagine that I would take them away.
After thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Gong Li, I can't let you take Yulin back, after this quelling, Lingnan is not at peace, we must select the government soldiers as soon as possible and establish a system of guarding the government, these Yulin Lang are the most reliable and capable, with them, you can get twice the result with half the effort." β
Li Fuguo laughed coldly.
"The will that our family has received, but we want to bring back these protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, Duke Wei, don't embarrass our family."
"Li Jing will play to His Majesty and explain the situation to His Majesty."
"Gong Wei, don't embarrass our family." Li Fuguo's tone was already very polite.
Li Jing crossed his hands, "Gong Li, please be accommodating, it's all for state affairs and for the sake of saints." β
"What if we don't?"
"I am the pacification envoy of the Lingnan Economic Strategy, in Lingnan, the Yulin Army also has to listen to my military orders, if I don't let them go, they can't go, dare to go, it is to disobey the military order."
"Li Jing, if you dare to do this, you are despising the Holy Lord and deceiving the king!"
"Even if Your Majesty wants to condemn you, then I will admit it, but I believe that Your Majesty will agree to my recital."
The two went toe-to-toe.
"Li Jing, believe it or not, if I declare in public now that you are disrespectful and deceitful to the king, it is okay to directly order you to be taken down?"
"I believe it, but I know that Li Gong won't."
"Li Jing, maybe you think you are doing the right thing, but your way of doing things is wrong, you do it, but it's thankless, you are resisting the order, and you are even suspected of rebellion."
Li Jing still did not back down.
In the end, Li Fuguo sneered and said, "Okay, since you have to go your own way, then our family will be all yours, but after returning to Beijing, our family will make things clear to Your Majesty as it is." β
"This is the duty of Li Gong, and Li Jing does not dare to stop it."
Li Fuguo flicked his sleeves and took his men on the boat.
