The arrival of the South China Sea Fleet has made those in the Lion City who have other fantasies die.

But there are also people who are happy, such as the Hu businessmen who survived the turmoil. After the change of the banner at the head of the city, the Lion City changed overnight.

But after all these days of anxiety, the Hu merchants found that under the rule of Qin Qi, everyone's life seemed to be better than before.

The Lion City introduced a new law and a new tax system.

"It's all small people, just live."

A Funan businessman sighed, he is engaged in the spice trade, and the spice business is profitable, but under all kinds of taxes, there are still any clever and excesses in the name, not to mention that he often has to pay all kinds of filial piety.

But now that the Qin people have taken control of the Lion City and announced a new legal tax system to them, they should pay a penny, but there has been no additional extortion after that. Originally, I heard that Li Shimin brought all pirates, and I thought that with the character of pirates, everyone's life would definitely be sad.

They all looked forward to the day when martial law was lifted, and they immediately went out of the city to take refuge.

But unexpectedly, these pirates seem to have changed their minds, and no one has come to harass and rob them. Some people also say that it was because Li Erlang was strict under his rule, and on the day of the city's breakdown, there were more than a dozen people who robbed, murdered, raped and secretly hid booty, all of which were publicly beheaded by him.

Huang Zhong entered the city.

In public, the order of Li Jing, the pacification envoy of Lingnan, was announced, and Linyi County was officially established.

The Chinese merchants in the city were overjoyed, and to be honest, they really didn't want to leave here. It's not easy to run a commercial port, and it's even harder to get a way out. It's finally been a business, who wants to give up easily.

On the same day that Huang Zhong entered the city, eighteen huge gold medals and eighteen gold figures were transported out of the city and loaded onto the treasure ships of the South China Sea Fleet.

That's more than 100,000 catties of gold alone.

Not to mention that after Li Shimin broke the city, he plundered the royal palace, the homes of noble officials, rich businessmen, and powerful people, as well as Brahmin temples and Buddhist temples, and also copied many gold statues and bronze sculptures.

Li Shimin directly took out a lot of plundered gold and silver and rewarded the Qin people in the city, and also gave a lot of settling-in allowances to the six thousand people of the three regiments under him, but he still sealed a lot for Huang Zhong in the warehouse.

These gold and silver amounted to more than 100,000 pounds of gold and more silver, and much more copper.

Except for gold, silver and bronze ware, most of the rest were directly melted and cast into gold collars and silver ingots and copper bricks.

Boxes of gold and silver were transported out of the city and onto ships.

The pirate leaders were a little painful, although Li Shimin had already fulfilled his promise and gave each of the leaders three thousand yuan of gold and silver, even the ordinary pirates below each got two or three hundred yuan of gold and silver, not to mention, the leaders each got ten Champa female slaves and twenty Champa male slaves. The pirates below also got two slaves, a woman and a man.

Everyone did not have a small score, but when they saw that the gold, silver, copper, and jewelry worth at least 30 million yuan were transported on the ship, they still felt that their flesh hurt, and they always felt that these things should have been their own, but now, they were all picked by the people of the South China Sea Fleet.

"Damn, this lion city was brought down by us, and the gold and silver are also our trophies, and now they are all given to the South China Sea Fleet, but only give Erlang a county order, this is too fucked."

"It's really hard to believe."

"That Huang Zhong is a bird, why should he be this Taishou?"

Li Shimin just smiled, "Didn't I, the county commander, also serve as the captain of the Tutuan." ”

It turned out that there were three regiments of men and horses in the Lion City, and now Huang Zhong brought another 1,000 men and horses, so Huang Zhong readjusted the 7,000 men and horses, and he put the original Zhang Peng's men and horses, as well as the Lin Yi army that later surrendered and joined him, and arranged a group of two regiments of 4,000 people, and he personally served as the envoy of the van soldiers and horses.

The remaining 3,000 people, including Li Shimin's more than 2,000 people, and the remaining half of the group of people who occupied the city were recruited later, Li Shimin also added more than 1,000 people and organized them into the Xianglin County Tutuan. It is also a box and two regiments of 4,000 people.

Li Shimin personally served as the captain of the Xianglin County Tutuan.

The 4,000 people under Huang Zhong, the inspector of the school, were under the banner of the 1st Regiment of the Linyi County Government and the 1st Regiment of the County Soldiers, while the 4,000 people under Li Shimin, the commander of Xianglin County, were simply under the banner of the Township Regiment.

Originally, Huang Zhong also proposed to transfer Li Shimin's people to him, and still maintain the establishment of the three regiments under compression, but Li Shimin refused.

Huang Zhong didn't push too much.

So now there are 8,000 soldiers and horses in Linyi County, and a regiment of 2,000 soldiers, divided into four battalions, stationed in four gates in the city. And a regiment of 2,000 county soldiers, also four battalions, stationed outside the four gates.

As for Li Shimin's two regiments and eight battalions of township soldiers, they were all stationed near Dazhan Haikou in the east of Lion City, and even Li Shimin's fleet also set up a camp on Cham Island in Haikou and used it as a base.

After being imprisoned for a period of time, Fan Fanzhi, the king of Linyi, was also sent to the ship this time, and will be sent to Nanhai Port along with the tablets and golden statues of his ancestors, as well as his concubines and children, as well as some high-ranking officials and nobles of Linyi, and then to Luoyang.

As for what will be done when it arrives in Luoyang, this is a matter for the imperial court.

Huang Zhong was busy sending the gold and silver away, and he didn't change much about the rules set by Li Shimin when he controlled the Lion City.

In Huang Zhong's opinion, Li Shimin was in charge of 4,000 soldiers and horses with him, and he didn't care much. He knows Li Shimin's origin very well, this is a noble concubine sister who is favored in the palace, there is no need to persecute too much. After all, this lion city was fought down by Li Shimin, and his coming to pick peaches as a taishou has already made Li Shimin dissatisfied.

Anyway, this Lin Yi inspector may not be able to serve for a long time, and he estimated that Fan Fanzhi's son Fan Touli should have already led his troops.

As long as he and Li Shimin hold this wave of offensive, then on the northern front, the two counties of Ninan and Sunset will definitely be able to defeat the Lin Yi army, which has been greatly reduced, and in this way, Lin Yi can be forced to sue for peace.

At that time, perhaps the imperial court will ask Lin Yi to cede a piece of land in the north to Daqin, and the imperial court may set up a new county there, and as for this Lion City enclave, after transporting the prisoners, gold, silver, and money in this city, it may be able to give it up.

After all, it is an enclave 1,500 miles away, and even if it is a large port, it can't compare to the land close to Nissan.

After the peace is over, Linyi County may be moved to the south of Rinan County, and this Lion City will be abandoned.

He knew very well that he was only here for a transition, to take care of his property for the South China Sea Fleet and for the emperor. As for the rest, it's not much fun to fight.

Li Shimin thought about addicting the school captain, so let the two regiments of the regiment be organized, so that he could enjoy it, as long as he was satisfied, it would be good if he didn't come to make trouble for himself.

"The elephants of the original forbidden army in the Lion City are well trained, and I think they can be transported to Rinan. Otherwise, when we abandon this place, it will be a pity that these elephants will not be able to take them with us. Huang Zhong said to one of his officers.

"This is no problem, we now have a total of eight battalions in two regiments, two elephant battalions, two horse battalions, and four infantry battalions, and we also have five big treasure ships, which are very strong. In addition to supplying the two elephant camps, the elephants in the city also have a lot of surplus, which can be transported away first. ”

"General, I heard that after Li Shimin broke the city this time, he looted a lot of gold and silver, in addition to handing it over to us, he also privately divided a lot, and also deducted a lot of it for his military expenses for soldiers and horses. Those captain-level pirate leaders each shared three or four thousand pieces of gold and silver, and those captain-level leaders also shared one or two thousand, even ordinary pirates, and they all received hundreds of dollars of gold and silver, and he also kept hundreds of thousands of pieces of gold and silver for military expenses, should we let him hand it over? ”

Huang Zhong thought about it and waved his hand.

"If you want the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass, how can there be such a good thing, since Li Shimin has handed over gold, silver, bronze and jewelry worth no less than 30 million yuan, it is enough, he will share a little privately, and he will not be too observant."

"Our brothers are very red-eyed." The officer reminded Huang Zhongdao.

"Also, in the same Lion City, Li Shimin's people are making a lot of money, and our brothers can't just watch it. In this way, give us a thousand brothers of the guards, each of whom will be rewarded with 10 strokes, the fire commander will be fifteen, the team-level officer will be twenty-five, and the battalion-level officer will be fifty-five. The sailors on the ship were also rewarded with five times each. ”

"That's too little, isn't it?"

"It's a lot, I haven't done anything, I have to be rewarded, what is not satisfied? Tell the brothers that when Prince Linyi arrives with his army, before the war begins, I will give the brothers another reward. ”

The officer nodded with satisfaction, "The brothers will be glad to know about it." "Although it is not as good as those pirates, they have divided hundreds and thousands of them, and they have also divided slaves, but Huang Zhong is right, the city was fought down by them, and it is meritorious. And when they came, they didn't do anything, and they were rewarded without making an inch, which was a special case, if it was in the forbidden army, Huang Zhong would never dare to do this.

After all, the royal fleet is better, especially since there is indeed a lot of money in hand at the moment.

The merchants who arrived with the army were busy, they wanted to buy everything, and a large group of merchants wanted to be able to contract the Lion City alone. Slaves, gold and silver utensils, bronze statues, Buddha statues, and all kinds of utensils, even some people in the Linyi palace want to buy, of course, not to buy the palace to live, they are interested in all the wood in the palace and the furniture and utensils in it.

The beams and pillars in the palace of Linyi are all made of excellent wood, which is extremely valuable when it is transported back to the Central Plains, not to mention that many of the utensils and furniture in it are also valuable objects.

Huang Zhong's reply to this is that as long as the price is right, it can be sold.

Anyway, he decided in his heart that this Lion City in Linyi County might be abandoned in March or May, or in a year and a half, so it doesn't matter if he is a pillar of the palace or a desk and chair, he can sell as much as he can make money, otherwise when the time comes, these will not be given to Linyi Zhanren again.
