Chapter 258: Return to Yongzhou

The previous chapter should be Chapter 257, and this chapter is Chapter 258. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info uh,I can't change the name of the chapter.,Add a small explanation......

…………

The few Nong soldiers who had been hit by the poisoned blow arrows were fed the antidote pills, and they recovered a lot.

Of course, even if they can't die, these people are useless, but at least they can speak. What the Western Army wants is that they can speak, and the rest is naturally not in their consideration.

Now that they were able to speak, the cavalry soldiers of the Western Army were not polite to them, and a set of ecstasy interrogation methods beckoned them to the past, and the few Nong soldiers quickly confided in Huang Shimi's whereabouts. Only then did the cavalry soldiers of the Western Army know that this Huang Shimi went to Li De'an to deceive him.

Now, this Li De'an is in a different place, I am afraid that Huang Shimi will probably not be able to find him, it is estimated that when he comes back, he will inquire that Nong Zhigao has been arrested, and most of them will escape. This Guangyuan Prefecture is full of mountains and forests, and it is really difficult to catch a few people.

The matter of searching for Huang Shimi can only be asked to do it by the indigenous soldiers of the small tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture who have long been subdued, and whether they can be caught or not depends on the will of God!

Their western army waited for the part of their comrades who went to Yufeng Mountain to come back, and then they prepared for the class. Although Huang Shimi was on the blacklist of the Great Song Dynasty, he was not a very important figure, and he was far from worthy of the long-term stay and arrest of the Western Army.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Western Army, the credit for the capture of Huang Shimi is naturally far from being able to rush home for the New Year.

…………

Nong Zhigao was captured, the major event has been decided, and the task of the Western Army to come to Guangyuan Prefecture has finally been completed. The tasks of the indigenous soldiers of the various small tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture were naturally completed.

They have contributed a lot to the search and arrest of Nong Zhigao this time, at least if there is no guide from the indigenous soldiers of these small tribes, if they want to find Nong Zhigao's lair, the cavalry of the Western Army will have to take a lot of trouble. Moreover, the indigenous warriors of these small tribes really contributed when they attacked the Golden Wind Valley and ambushed Nong Zhigao at the mouth of the valley.

Di Qing's reward for these small tribes this time was quite generous.

He handed over the Golden Wind Valley to the three small tribes that had captured Nong Zhigao together. This Golden Wind Valley produces dansha, which can really be regarded as a cornucopia.

And the armor and weapons of the Nong soldiers who were killed in Taniguchi were also distributed to these three small tribes.

Of course, those hand crossbows and swallow-winged crossbows were not given to them. Although these things have little effect on the battle of the army, they are indeed rare items with exquisite workmanship, and they are very good to give away or sell for money when they go back. Zhong Hao was very rare for these swallow-winged crossbows, and asked Di Qing for a lot for the middle camp of the Pingxi Army.

In addition to these things, Di Qing also rewarded the three small tribes with a lot of wealth. Well, of course, these possessions were mainly collected from their small tribes. When it is said to be a reward, it is actually given back to them.

Although Di Qing is a decent person, he is quite ruthless in his calculations.

Now that the four major tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture have completely disappeared, these three small tribes have captured the prestige of Nong Zhigao, and maybe it is really possible to grow stronger.

Di Qing gave this Golden Wind Valley to the three of them this time, and gave them money and weapons, I am afraid that it will not take long for the three of them to inflate themselves.

This Golden Wind Valley produces dansha, which is like a cornucopia, and if there is a chance to enjoy it alone, no one will want to share it with others.

I'm afraid it won't be long before these three families will fight for the ownership of this Golden Wind Valley. At that time, I am afraid that this Guangyuan Prefecture will be a mess again, and no one will want to grow stronger.

This is naturally what the Great Song Dynasty court wants to see, these small tribes break each other's heads, and it has no effect on the Great Song Dynasty, so they are powerless to think about anything else. And the Great Song Dynasty can maintain a detached identity and intervene in the chaos in Guangyuan Prefecture at any time on the grounds of stopping the war and maintaining stability.

In this way, the Great Song Dynasty's right to speak in Guangyuan Prefecture will be very important, and which small tribe the Great Song Dynasty supports, I am afraid that which small tribe will be able to stand up at once. The Great Song Dynasty saw that a small tribe was not pleasing to the eye, and he could beat that small tribe down at once.

…………

Ma Jinhu led the part of the cavalry of the Western Army that went to Yufeng Mountain to rush to Jinfeng Valley the day after capturing Nong Zhigao.

This part of their Western Army cavalry went to Yufeng Mountain to arrest Nong Zhigao, because they were a step late, they didn't catch Nong Zhigao, but they ran into another person who was on the blacklist of the Great Song Dynasty, uh, this person is naturally Huang Shimi.

He originally rushed from Yufeng Mountain to the Jiaozhi Army garrison in Daguling to deceive Li De'an, but he didn't expect to meet the cavalry soldiers led by Ma Jinhu, who rushed to Yufeng Mountain to capture Nong Zhigao.

The fifty Nong soldiers brought by Huang Shimi all had armor, weapons in their hands, and short crossbows on their backs, but in front of more than 2,000 cavalry of the Western Army, they must have given it for nothing! It is estimated that if you dare to fight with more than 2,000 cavalry, you will be shot into a hornet's nest in an instant.

Huang Shimi and the others knew that the only possibility of survival at this time was to run away and burrow into the mountains and forests, so that there was a possibility of escape.

However, even if Huang Shimi went into the mountains and forests, he could not escape the pursuit of the Western cavalry, as for the other Nong soldiers, they escaped. After all, he Huang Shimi is a literati, he has not experienced any battles, and most of the time he spends most of his daily life is still good at cultivating his superiors, and he is really not good at drilling dense forests and climbing mountains. Moreover, the cavalry soldiers of the Western Army were all keeping an eye on him, and the other Nong soldiers did not care very much when they arrived.

As a result, this Huang Shimi did not escape for long, and was captured by the cavalry soldiers of the Western Army. As for the other Nong soldiers who scattered and fled in all directions, those who could shoot were shot, and those who fled quickly were with them. It's all inconsequential minions, and the cavalry soldiers of the Western Army naturally feel that there is no need to spend that foot effort to hunt down all over the mountains, and it is worth a few rewards. Well, the soldiers of the Western Army basically use the amount of reward to measure whether there is no need to fight with the enemy.

Originally, this big traitor Huang Shimi slipped through the net, which was a very small regret for this counterinsurgency, but now that Ma Jinhu has captured this family, he naturally made up for this very small regret, and this time the southward counterinsurgency is completely perfect!

Now that Nong Zhigao has been captured, and his two traitor prime ministers have also been captured as one death, the Lingnan chaos has been completely pacified, and the Western Army will naturally return to the court.

…………

When the cavalry of the Western Army came to Jinfeng Valley from Taguling, it took more than ten days to arrive. Well, of course, that's mainly because it took a lot of time to sweep through those fetters along the way. And from the Golden Wind Valley back to Yongzhou City, the cavalry of the Western Army quickly whipped up, and it only took four days, the so-called "spring breeze is proud", at this time, it is really appropriate to describe the cavalry of the Western Army who returned to the division victoriously.

When the cavalry of the Western Army returned to Yongzhou, the two Jingguan outside Yongzhou City and under the Dagu Ridge had already been built.

This view of the capital is to pile the enemy's corpses into a pile, and then cover them with soil and tamp them, which is the so-called building of the earth into a mound. Because it is relatively easy to build, it is naturally fast.

Now that the counterinsurgency matters are completely completed, the Western Army can be fully equipped and ready for the class!

When the cavalry of the Western Army arrived at Yongzhou City with the captured Nong Zhigao and Huang Shimi, a group of civil and military officials of Yongzhou City led by Yu Jing of Guangnan West Road pacification went out of the city to greet them.

This time, the Western Army made great contributions to pacifying Nong Zhigao and rebellious Lingnan, even if these civil officials no longer put a military general like Di Qing in their eyes, they couldn't go out of the city to greet them. If you don't even do this etiquette, I'm afraid you will be sprayed to death by the world. Besides, Di Qing is now in charge of the affairs of the two lakes and the two Guangzhous, so that their bosses must go out of the city to greet them.

After finishing the polite routine outside the city, Di Qing led the cavalry of the Western Army into the city. Now that the city of Yongzhou has just been recovered, everything is waiting to be done, there are no scruples, naturally there is no need for the soldiers to be stationed outside the city, and the suffering of sleeping in the open is still to enjoy the stationing in the city.

When Zhong Hao followed Di Qing to lead the cavalry of the Western Army into Yongzhou City, he found that the people in Yongzhou City at this time were already bustling and busy, and there was no difference from the ordinary city.

The streets in Yongzhou City have been cleaned quietly, and there is no way to see the chaos of the past few days. If it weren't for the fact that many of the houses in the city were still in tatters, and many people were repairing them, it would have been completely impossible to see that this was a city that had just passed through a great war.

It seems that this should be the credit of Yu Jing and many other civil officials on Guangnan West Road.

When the Western Army was fighting against the Jiaozhi Army in front of Daguling, a number of civilian officials such as pacification envoys, transit envoys, and torture envoys on the West Guangnan Road had already been stationed in Yongzhou to start the reconstruction work of the two Guangzhous.

Although the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty were not good at fighting, and they still had such and such problems, one thing is undeniable, that is, they had a strong administrative execution. When the government is running at full capacity, civil officials can always quickly sort out all kinds of complicated matters and push things on the right track, of course, this mainly refers to civil affairs.

This made Zhong Hao's impression of Yu Jing and others a little better.

Although Yongzhou is not the seat of Guangnan West Road, it is the center of the Lingnan turmoil. Now that the chaos in Lingnan has calmed down, the reconstruction work of Lingnan will naturally be carried out with Yongzhou as the center, which will be more convenient and fast.

In the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, this "road" was not a first-level actual administrative unit, and the governors of each state actually reported directly to the imperial court and were responsible for most of the time. Like this pacification envoy, transfer envoy, etc., in fact, there is no formal yamen, this pacification envoy and transfer envoy and other positions are generally concurrently held by the governor of the road or important places, and the general pacification envoy yamen and the transfer envoy yamen, etc., are all in the state yamen to hang a sign.

For Guangnan West Road, in fact, the pacification envoys, transfer envoys, torture envoys and other officials came to Yongzhou, which can also be said to be the temporary transfer of this road rule from Guizhou to Yongzhou.

Now that the task of the Western Army to go south to quell the rebellion has been completely completed, the rest of the things need to be handed over to those civilian officials.

Yu Jing, as the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road, is regarded as the highest-ranking official below Di Qing in Guangnan West Road. They are veteran and the highest civil officials on Guangnan West Road, so this handover naturally needs to be carried out between him and Di Qing.

Yu Jing, as one of the "Four Advice of Qingli", in front of Di Qing, he did have some disdain for military generals like Di Qing.

When Di Qing was in Guizhou, despite Yu Jing's obstruction, he beheaded more than 30 military generals including Chen Shu for public display, and issued a strict martial law to prevent the Jiaozhi army from stepping into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. These two things greatly ruined Yu Jing's face. After all, this Chen Shu and their unauthorized attack was also out of Yu Jing's benefit, and the Jiaozhi army was also invited by Yu Jing.

These civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty love face the most, and they are so discouraged, especially if he is still a military general, even if Di Qing's position is higher than him at this time, Yu Jing is afraid that he is extremely unhappy.

In fact, Di Qing originally had a good impression of a "gentleman's party" like Yu Jing, mainly because Fan Zhongyan, the leader of the "gentleman's party", once had the grace of knowing him, and Di Qing was also quite looking forward to the "gentleman's party's" many measures such as eliminating maladministration and refreshing the rule of officials.

However, what Yu Jing did in pacifying the Lingnan Rebellion was really unacceptable, whether it was disobeying the commander's orders, letting people attack without authorization, or letting the Jiaozhi army help in the war, it could not be tolerated by Di Qing, so Di Qing's actions completely offended Yu Jing.

Di Qing is actually reluctant to deal with Yu Jing, who likes to put on old qualifications, although he has a high position, this time he is in charge of the affairs of the two lakes and the two Guangzhou, but if he encounters a civil official like Yu Jing, there is really nothing he can do, he orders and orders do not move, and he can't move, it is better to meet less, so as to save Yu Jing's stinky face.

However, this kind of handover must be done by Di Qing, so he called Zhong Hao to come over and accompany him. Zhong Hao is quite related to Fan Zhongyan, and he is Fu Bi's quasi-son-in-law, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi are like-minded comrades-in-arms with Yu Jing, and they have a very close personal relationship, which can play a little buffer role.

It's a simple handover, but there are still some things that need to be negotiated. For example, how many of these prisoners of war were taken away by the Western Army and how much were left behind in Yongzhou; Another example is the property seized by the Western Army in Yongzhou City, how much was left in Yongzhou, and how much was taken away by the Western Army and handed over to the imperial court.

The Western Army is definitely willing to bring back as many prisoners of war as possible from the Nong Zhigao Army and the Jiaozhi Army prisoners of war, and the more prisoners of war there will be at this prisoner sacrifice ceremony, the more the Western Army will naturally show its face.

There are also those property in Yongzhou City that were captured by the Western Army, and the Western Army is naturally willing to take as much as possible. After these belongings are handed over to the imperial court, most of them will definitely be used as rewards, and then returned to the Western Army, which is used to reward the three armies, and for the Western Army, the more the better.

For Yu Jing, a civilian official who is committed to restoring the construction of Lingnan, leaving more prisoners of war will allow more people to rebuild; For those who leave some property, they will have more financial resources for restoration. Therefore, they naturally feel that the more these prisoners of war and property can be fought for, the better.

I'm afraid this is another rip-off process.
