Chapter 745: Revenge Pool
The first thing Zhao Junsheng did after ascending the throne and becoming emperor was naturally to give amnesty to the world, exempt how many taxes from all parts of the country, and celebrate with the whole world, the emperor has done this since ancient times, Zhao Junsheng didn't want to do this, what does it mean to be the same, those prisoners should have been punished by the law, and pardoning them would have allowed them to get away with it.
However, unable to stand the repeated requests of the courtiers, Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to issue an edict announcing an amnesty to the world, and stipulated that this was the only amnesty during his reign, and that his successor could only grant amnesty when he ascended the throne, and not on weekdays.
Amnesty in the world is only from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty and before there was no such thing, this is a means used by the emperor to win people's hearts, generally in the emperor ascended the throne, changed the name of the year, set up the queen, set up the prince, encountered a great natural disaster to do so, so in ancient times every three or five years, or even two or three years there will be an amnesty, many prisoners in prison will not serve their sentences at all will be released.
Zhao Junsheng understands that there are certainly many cases of miscarriage of justice and miscarriage of justice in Qianguo, and that some people in prison have been wronged, but more criminals absolutely deserve their crimes, and that an amnesty will allow some people who have been wronged to restore their freedom or have their sentences commuted, but it will allow more people to go unpunished, thus putting strong pressure on public order in various localities.
Now that the amnesty has been implemented, Zhao Junsheng will not be entangled, because it didn't take long for the Southern Dynasty to send generals Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming to Liangzhou to lead the army to fight with Yang Nandang, the lord of Qiuchi.
Yang Nandang learned that the Southern Dynasty sent troops to attack, so he ordered the general Fu Chong to lead the army to meet the attack, Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming joined forces to attack, and defeated Fu Chong in a battle, Fu Chong was beheaded, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and more than 3,000 people only fled back to a few hundred.
Yang Nandang gathered these hundreds of remnants of the army, personally led the army of 5,000 to attack, Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming divided the troops, Liu Zhendao frontal attack and containment of Yang Nandang, Pei Fangming led the headquarters of the people to raid Hanzhong City, Yang Nandang's son was lax in garrison, was attacked by Pei Fangming, and fled back to Wuxing with the remnants of the defeated general and sent someone to inform Yang Nandang.
Yang Nandang was shocked when he heard the news, and led the army to retreat to Xiazhi overnight, and Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming easily recaptured Liangzhou.
On September 26, Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming rested in Hanzhong for a few days, and then attacked Qiu Chi respectively, and successively broke through Xiafen, Wuxing and other cities.
Yang Nandang sent the general of Jianjie Fu Hongzu to guard Langao, ordered his son Yang Heshou to lead heavy troops as backup, and sent people to ask for help from Zhang Xing, the general of Chang'an Town.
Zhang Xing did not dare to be exclusive after seeing the envoy sent by Yang Nandang, so he appeased the envoy and immediately went up to relieve him of his feelings and sent 800 miles of fast horses to Qianjing.
A few days later, Zhang Xing's Shangshu was sent to Shangshutai, Cui Hao opened it and looked at it, and immediately got up with the notebook and went to the Qinzheng Hall to face the saint.
"Your Majesty, just received a report from Zhang Xing, the general of Chang'an Town, Yang Nandang, the king of Di, fought with Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming, the generals of the Southern Dynasty, and was copied from the back road, defeated and fled back to Qiu Chi, and then Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming divided their troops to attack, Yang Nandang could not resist, most of the territory of Qiu Chi was captured, at present, Qiu Chi army is resisting in Langao and the northwest, after the Southern Dynasty army captured Wuxing, the occupied area has bordered our Qianguo, and there is a great threat to Qinzhou Tianshui and Chencang! Zhang Xing said in the song that Yang Nandang was a little unable to resist, and sent an envoy to ask him for help, Zhang Xing did not dare to be arbitrary, and sent the song to ask the court whether to send reinforcements! โ
Zhao Junsheng put down the pen and got up and walked out from behind the imperial case, he came to the map and looked at it, and asked, "Do you think I want to send reinforcements?" โ
Cui Hao saluted and said: "Your Majesty originally instructed Yang Nandang to send troops to attack Liangzhou in the Southern Dynasty, in order to make him willing to send troops, our dynasty paid a lot of armor, ordnance, grain, grass and livestock, presumably Your Majesty has another deep meaning, and not just to let Yang Nandang contain the Southern Dynasty in the west, right?" โ
Zhao Junsheng turned around and asked, "How much of the compensation from the Southern Dynasties has not yet been delivered?" โ
"It is said that there are still five million kans!" Cui Hao just said an approximate number.
In Shangshutai, Dongfang Chen and Cui Hao are the left and right servants, the two of them have a division of labor, Dongfang Chen is in charge of government affairs, and Cui Hao is in charge of military affairs, so about government affairs, Cui Hao is not very clear, but he also knows a little.
"Is there another five million?" Zhao Junsheng frowned and asked, "How many days are there until the three-month compensation period?" โ
"It's been less than a month!"
Zhao Junsheng walked to the door of the main hall with his hands behind his back and pondered for a long time, and made a decision: "Send a fast horse to reply to Zhang Xing, and ask him to send someone to tell Yang Nandang, saying that my Daqian has signed a peace treaty with the Southern Dynasty, and there is no sufficient reason for my Daqian to send troops to fight with the Southern Dynasty, and my Daqian wants to help Qiu Chi Guo very much, but Qiu Chi Guo has no vassal relationship with my Daqian, and I have no obligation to send troops to protect the safety of Qiu Chi Guo. During this period, if Yang Nandang can't resist it, he can lead the army to retreat into the territory of our Daqian for refuge, and I believe that the Song army will not dare to chase into the territory of our country! โ
Cui Hao bowed: "The minister understands, let's make arrangements!" โ
Ten days after Zhang Xing of Chang'an received the imperial court's decision, he immediately sent Yang Nandang's envoy to inform him of the imperial court's decision, and asked him to return to Qiu Chi to relay it to Yang Nandang.
Yang Nan was already extremely difficult to resist at this time, and after listening to the envoy's relay, he still had a lot of concerns, so he immediately sent an envoy to lead the delegation to Qianjing and hurried to Qianjing to pay tribute to his ministers.
On the eighth day after the departure of the mission, the Song army broke through Langao, and Yang Nan led Fu Hongzu to retreat to Turbid Water City.
Fu Hongzu didn't want to be trapped in the city and wait for death, so he led an army of 3,000 men and horses to take the initiative to meet it, and was beheaded by the Song general Pei Fangming, and the Qiu Chi army was defeated, with countless casualties.
A day later, Song led Pei Fangming to chase his army to Chiting, and defeated Yang He.
Yang Nandang's father and son saw that there was no place to stand, so they had to take the remnants of the defeated army and flee more than 2,000 people across the border to Shangtai, Qianguo.
Yang Nandang also has a son named Yang Hu, he is the general of Yinping, Yinping is in the south of Qiuchi State, when Yang Hu learned that his father Yang Nandang was defeated and fled into the territory of Qianguo, he was afraid that he was made dumplings by the Song army, so he led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the north to meet Yang Nandang.
After the next identification, Song sent Pei Fangming to his son Pei Suzhi to lead troops to intercept, the two sides fought, Yang Hu was defeated and captured, and then Pei Fangming sent someone to escort him to Jiankang to ask for beheading.
As Yang Nandang's father and son retreated to the Qianguo with the remnants of the defeated generals, the Song army captured the entire territory of Qiuchi in only a few days. Qiu Chi is dead.

Qianjing, racecourse.
This is a recently completed building, the racecourse is built in an oval shape, surrounded by high and low stands, the highest level of the stands is 30 meters high, the grandstand opposite the main stand has a horse and knight entrance, and a total of 10 tracks on the racetrack.
There was no horse racing on the racetrack, but a polo match, and Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan each led a team of palace guards to compete.
With a "bang", Mulan hit the horse and galloped, the club in her hand kept fiddling, waiting to run near the goal, she threw up a shot and whipped it on the polo, and the polo flew into the goal with a "whoosh".
"Good! All right! Many palace maids and eunuchs in the stands applauded, and the crown prince Zhao Dong and the princess Zhao Ling also jumped up and kept clapping, and they couldn't get excited.
"Don't fight, take a break!" Zhao Junsheng stopped and said, took off the helmet and threw it to the knight next to him, his team was a little unlucky today, and he lost three games in a row with a slight weakness.
Zhao Junsheng rode to the edge of the horse racing track and saw Lu Xuanbo standing behind the eunuchs and palace maids, so he beckoned to him.
When Lu Xuanbo walked over, Zhao Junsheng was jumping off the horse and taking the towel handed by a eunuch.
"See Your Majesty!"
"In a hurry?"
Lu Xuanbo bowed: "I just received an urgent report, Yang Nandang can't resist the attack of the Southern Korean army and retreats to my Shangqi to rest, the Southern Korean army has captured the entire territory of Qiuchi Kingdom!" โ
Zhao Junsheng was not surprised, the Song generals Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming were both famous generals, and it would be a big joke if the Southern Dynasty couldn't even defeat Qiu Chiguo.
"By the way, where is the mission sent by Qiu Chi Guo?"
"It's almost time to arrive in Dingzhou!"
Two days ago, the compensation of the Southern Dynasty had been fully delivered, the money had been received, and Zhao Junsheng had no scruples, he thought for a while, and said to Lu Xuanbo: "We can't wait for the Chang'an recital to come over. In this way, you immediately open a special channel to send a letter to the black-clothed guards on the Yicheng side, asking them to tell Xue Andu the news, and let Xue Andu send someone to Jiankang to negotiate with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and the wording should be harsh, just say that the Qiu Chi State has taken our Da Qian as the suzerain, and the Southern Dynasty sent troops to kill the territory of the Qiu Chi State is to invade our Qian country, which is a violation of the peace treaty, and the emperor of the Southern Dynasty should immediately order Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming to immediately withdraw from the territory of Qiu Chi State, and our country will send troops to take over, otherwise, I don't mind sending troops to Huainan again and soldiers to Jiankang City! โ
"Yes!" Lu Xuanbo clenched his fists and agreed to turn away.
Three days later, the report from Chang'an was delivered to Qianjing, and although Zhang Xing used an 800-mile express horse, it was still inferior to the special message transmission channel of the black-clothed guard in terms of speed.
At this time, the mission sent by Yang Nandang happened to arrive in Qianjing.
Zhao Junsheng met with the envoy of Qiu Chi in the Taiji Palace, and the envoy of Qiu Chi paid a big salute and called the minister.
Zhao Junsheng took over the performance, and he informed the envoy of Qiu Chi that Qiu Chi was captured by the Song army, and Yang Nandang retreated to Shangqi with the remnants of the defeated army, and comforted the envoy to live in the post house with peace of mind, and the Qianguo would never sit idly by and would definitely uphold justice.
After fooling the envoy of Qiu Chi and sending him back to the post house, Zhao Junsheng summoned several important ministers to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of Qiu Chi.
Zhao Junsheng said to the ministers: "Actually, the news of the black-clothed guard was sent three days ago, and I have ordered Xue Andu to send someone to Jiankang to meet Liu Jun, and ask him to immediately issue an order to Liu Zhendao and Xue Andu to quickly lead the army to evacuate Qiuchi, and our country will send troops to take over!" โ
When the ministers heard this, they immediately reacted, Zhao Junsheng was planning to take back Qiu Chiguo's territory from the Song State, and he didn't plan to return it to Yang Nandang.
Gao Yun stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, what if the Southern Dynasty does not withdraw its troops from Qiu Chi and hand over Qiu Chi to our army?" โ
"Needless to say? Now Qiuchi is a subject country of my Daqian, and they are beating Qiuchi to beat my Daqian, and they have occupied my Daqian's territory and still haven't returned it? If you don't pay it back, send troops to take it back! Cao Jiao stood up and shouted loudly.
