Luoyang.

As soon as Luo Cheng's good news arrived in Beijing, the whole Luoyang was boiling.

"Liu Yuanjin asked Luo Cheng to kill him?"

"Well, it has been publicly beheaded by Luo Cheng in Jiangning to deter the world from rebelling against thieves."

"The seven counties of Jiangnan have all been recovered?"

"All recovered, in less than a month, all seven counties were recovered."

"What about the rebels?"

"When it's all done, about seven or eight thousand were killed, and then about 150,000 prisoners were taken."

·······

"This is the second puppet emperor killed by Luo Cheng, right?"

"Well, the pseudo-Chu Emperor Yang Xuangan and the pseudo-Wu Emperor Liu Yuanjin also captured a Goguryeo king Gao Yuan before." Some people were amazed.

"Not only that, you haven't counted that Luo Cheng also killed the Eight Kings and Thirteen Dukes in Pingyuan County before."

"If you want to count it like this, it will be terrible, last time Luo Chengping was a pseudo-Chu Xiao clan, but he also killed more than a dozen kings and dozens of princes."

·······

I can't go on.

This Luo Cheng is indeed worthy of the name of killing gods, not to mention those messy pseudo-kings, he has killed two emperors and captured one king, which can be regarded as the destruction of the Three Kingdoms by one person.

"Heaven kills the stars."

"What's more, it's obviously the White Tiger Star descending to earth."

The people of Luoyang are talking about how Luo Cheng can fight, counting how many emperors and emperors he has killed and captured several kings and dukes.

But in the court, there is something else being discussed.

First of all, how to pacify Jiangnan.

More than 100,000 rebels have been captured, and hundreds of thousands of rebel families have been captured, how should this be handled?

Luo Cheng said that he would exile these people to Liaodong to Shibian.

But there are people in the DPRK who oppose it, and the most fierce opposition is Yuwenshu, he thinks that these people are all rebellious, and now Liaodong has not been pacified, you take these hundreds of thousands of rebels to Liaodong, won't this Liaodong become a rebellious nest?

Again, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to get so many people over, you have to divide the land for them, and so on, in short, it's too cost-effective, and you can kill them directly.

Anyway, the last thing in the Great Sui is people, and now the Great Sui is full of people, the land is narrow and the people are wide, and there is nowhere to put the many people, so it's good to kill a little.

However, in addition to Luo Yi personally standing up to support Luo Cheng, there is also a prime minister who also openly supports Luo Cheng, that is, Pei Shiju.

After Pei Shiju was dismissed from the Ministry of War last time, he still went as his Huangmen squire. He was an expert in diplomacy, and he strongly advocated the conquest of Liao, and he was very much in favor of Luo Cheng's proposal.

He believes that now the imperial court has set up four counties in Liaodong, but the four counties only have cities and garrisons, but there are no people, and they cannot be self-sufficient and cannot supply the army, and in the long run, there will be great pressure.

If the rebels were sent to Liaodong to farm and supply the army, it would be a good plan.

Yang Guang thought about it for a long time, he now has a zero-tolerance attitude towards rebellion, especially those who dare to call themselves emperors.

"Those who are in rebellion and rebellion must not be spared, but should be screened out and then put to death. As for the other rebels and their families, I think they can follow Luo Cheng's suggestion, confiscate all the family property, and then exile them to Liaodong. After arriving there, they should not be directly granted land and land, but should be allowed to become military tun people, responsible for the army for ten years, before they can be granted free status and land distribution. ”

In the emperor's words, this matter was decided in this way.

"Your Majesty, Luo Cheng led the army to quell the Jiangnan rebellion in two months, and now the 25,000 soldiers of the Fifth Left Army, as well as the 25,000 Jianghuai sailors recruited by Jianghuai, also ask the Supreme to give a reward, and then be a good teacher."

The ministers of the whole palace are waiting for this.

But Yang Guang frowned.

Without him, before Luo Cheng set out on the expedition, the emperor promised that after the rebellion was quelled, he would reward the meritorious soldiers.

But now, Luo Cheng put down the rebellion in two months, and it was clean and thorough, more than 150,000 prisoners were captured, not to mention more than 8,000 rebel heads.

These are all real numbers, and if you follow the reward offered by the emperor before, it will be a very great reward.

But now the emperor is unwilling to make it.

Yang Guang was silent.

Yu Wenshu immediately jumped out.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in order to reward the meritorious deeds of the soldiers, the rewards of the meritorious officers can be reopened and awarded to the corresponding meritorious officers."

Before, the emperor merged the honorable officers with the loose ranks, only the scattered officials were left without the commanders, and now Yuwenshu actually proposed to reset the honorable officers in order to help the emperor get rid of the large reward.

But the emperor had a decree before, and those who were awarded honors were no longer on the right path, and under normal circumstances, they were not qualified to hold official positions, which was a cheat.

In this way, what is the purpose of this rank other than a glorious title?

It's still thoughtful in Yuwen's thoughts.

He had long thought that if he only gave him the title of honor, the counterinsurgency soldiers would definitely not accept it. So he proposed to award a medal of honor Yongye Tian according to the honorable officer.

That is, what kind of honors you get, you should be given a honorable field to you.

For example, before the withdrawal was not made, the commander was eleventh turn.

The lowest is the governor, which is regarded as the seventh grade, that is to say, it is equivalent to the honorary title of the seventh grade, and can enjoy some of the courtesies of the seven grades, but there is no money. Now Yuwen said that if a meritorious soldier is given a piece of Xuntian, he will be given 50 acres.

The higher the officer, the more fields are awarded, and the highest Shangzhu country is awarded a maximum of 30 hectares.

Of course, there are many people in the Central Plains, and there are not so many fields to give. So Yuwenshu came up with a compromise plan and divided Xuntian to Liaodong and Liaoxi, where the land was vast and sparsely populated.

In this way, it is perfectly solved.

In fact, this was all discussed by the emperor with Yuwenshu a long time ago, but at this time, it was pretentious, and the emperor pretended to think about it for a long time.

"Okay, then re-establish the medal officer, award the medal officer to the meritorious soldiers who have countered the rebellion, and give the medal field."

"Luo Chengping has meritorious service, specially awarded the title of Shangzhu Country, compared to the second grade, and gave Liaodong Xuntian 3,000 acres!"

"The rest of the meritorious soldiers will be awarded according to their merits and given to Xuntian."

For the four people who performed best in this counterinsurgency, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiji, and Shan Xiongxin, the emperor awarded the four Huya Lang generals the positions, and each awarded nine medals to protect the army, compared with the three grades. “

Originally, the commander turned eleven, but because the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions had been merged into the scattered ranks before, the emperor came up with a new system of honors, and increased to twelve turns, the highest is still the Shangzhu State, and then the Pillar State, but the following is not the general and the general, but the Shanghu Army and the Protector Army, and the following Shangkaifuyi and the three divisions and the Kaifuyi with the three divisions have also been changed to the captain of the light car and the captain of the light car.

Next is the Captain of the Cavalry and the Captain of the Cavalry.

Then there are the four lieutenants of Xiao Cavalry, Flying Cavalry, Cloud Cavalry and Wu Cavalry.

The first turn of the military cavalry lieutenant awarded 50 acres of the medal field, and the second turn of the cloud cavalry lieutenant awarded 100 acres of the medal field.

The honorable officer was given to Xuntian, and then it was gone, there was no reward in kind, no money, no silk, and no fields in the Central Plains. For some of them, the soldiers who have made special achievements are conferred.

For example, Pei Cheng and the other four people were awarded Huya Lang General, but more of them were awarded to some deputy positions, such as deputy colonel, deputy brigade commander, deputy team, all of which were deputy positions, and the emperor actually wanted to increase the deputy position after a main position, in fact, in addition to the original first deputy position, the deputy position was awarded in name only, specifically for sending this meritorious soldier.

And once the crusade is over, disbanded and returned, this deputy position will be gone.

This can be regarded as the emperor changing his way to play tricks and refuse to honor the reward.

"Your Majesty, reward merit, don't be careless." Pei Shiju said a fair word, but the emperor just glared at him. The treasury of the Great Sui is quite abundant, but the eastern capital was built to build the Great Wall and dig canals, and two expeditions to Goguryeo, and then the chaos was quelled, and it was a little unbearable.

In addition, the emperor also felt that this time the rebellion was too simple, so there was no need to reward too much.

Luo Yi just stood there quietly, Luo Cheng was the boss of this counterinsurgency, and it was not suitable for him to stand up and ask for a reward for the counterinsurgency, otherwise it would be easier to say clearly.

But in his heart, Luo Yi was also very dissatisfied with what the emperor did.
