14. Li Qi into the tea cage

After Li Qi fled, Yao Zhi'an, the soldiers and horses of Shiwucheng, saw that the wind direction had changed, and immediately led 3,000 of his subordinates out of the city to surrender.

Gao Yue's general Guo Zaizhen then immediately issued a notice to the people, saying: Xuan, She, and Sheng (at that time, Jinling belonged to Shengzhou) several prefectures have been Ning, the culprit Li Qi fled alone, and his life was not long, and the materials obtained by the army were piled up, except for the armor and weapons, the rest of the rice, salt, wine, dried meat, tea, cloth, money, etc., were all caused by Li Qi's exploitation and poisoning of the people, and Wei Guogong ordered in advance that nothing was taken, and they were all returned to the local people.

From the Xuanhui and the people of western Zhejiang, they were all overjoyed, and each of them competed to open the way for the Wuyi army, and then the Wuyi army, the quarrying army, and the Danyang army gathered into a huge armed force and attacked Jingkou.

Two days later, the naval division of Jingkou Town suddenly rioted, and their capitals Qiu Cen and Qiu Chi, with 17 building ships and dozens of small ships, drove to the backyard of Yangzi Town on the opposite bank, where the two generals saw Gao Yue, the Duke of Weiguo, bowed their heads and were enthusiastically supported by Gao Yue.

"I only hate the Zhizhi rice, money and silk of the fifteen states, all in the treasury of the Jingkou Military Government, and they are controlled by Li Qi's henchman Du Yu Hou Han Yun, otherwise they will be carried out and handed over to Wei Gong."

Gao Yue said: "The purpose of my Huainan trip this time is nothing more than two, one is to save the people from fire and water, and the other is to punish Li Qi and send all the tax rice and tax money seized by him to Shangdu. With the two of you and the Zhen Navy ships to vote, there is no barrier at the entrance of the capital, and I expect that Li Qi and Han Yun will not dare to do anything about the treasury, if there is destruction and arson, I will behead the whole clan! ”

Erqiu was overjoyed and grateful, so he asked Wu Yijun to board the ship and attack Jingkou.

Therefore, Gao Yue and the 6,000 Wuyi Chinese army boarded the big ship of the Zhen Navy of Toucheng, crossed the river, and forced to the front of Jingkou City.

At this time, there were Guo Zaizhen, Wang Qizhen, and Bai Liangqi's army to attack in the west of Jingkou, and Li Ruochu, Wang Wei, and Li Shangrong on the east side.

The children of the Fourth Academy of the Navy, where do you still have any thoughts of serving Li Qi? Countless people crossed the moat, abandoned the beacon, and surrendered to Gao Yue's side like an avalanche.

Soon, after the helpless Han Yun got Gao Yue's promise that "the crime is not as good as his family", he drew his sword and killed himself, and his subordinates completely handed over the city, and all the soldiers and horses attacked Jingkou.

Three days later, in the Jinghyeon Mountains, Li Qi and Gongsun Jue, who had lost their armor and were unkempt, were hiding in the tea garden, and were searched out by the tea farmers who were detected, beaten up, and sent to Ganlu Temple, where Gao Yue was waiting for him.

At this moment, Guo Zaizhen handed the Yunfu sword, which symbolized the victory and triumph, back to Gao Yue, Gao Yue put the sword on, and then saw that under the steps of the temple gate, Li Qi was detained in a low cage, his hands and feet were handcuffed, and he sat curled up and squatted.

"When you carved the people of Jiangnan with a tea cage, did you ever think that one day you would enter this threshold?" Gao Yue scolded sharply.

Li Qi scolded back: "Adding some miscellaneous taxes is a trivial matter, what is not my Li Tang's wealth in this world, why take it." But you are in your third year of high school, setting off a rebellion without authorization, killing the officers and men of the town, and detaining the clan marshal, what is your intention? ”

"Save the people, save the loyalty."

Li Qi said, "Under the guise of saving the people and saving loyalty, you overturned my Tang dynasty." This time I was ignorant of the situation, and I didn't expect that there would be so many soldiers and horses and assassins who were willing to make trouble with you, otherwise it would be your senior year of high school who was sitting in this cage. ”

"I call it chaos, how can I call it chaos?" Gao Yue didn't care, and then said to Li Qi, you and Gongsun Jue are about to travel two thousand miles, and they will deal with you when they arrive in Chang'an City.

Before Li Qi could understand what was going on, he was lifted up by the soldiers, and then he was thrown on a ship that was nailed to the deck with shackles and shackles, and then the ship was sent to Chang'an along with the ships from Huainan and Runzhou, as well as many merchant ships from the Huaiyang region.

Immediately, Gao Yue sat in Jingkou, abolished all Li Qi's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, abolished Li Qi's prohibition law, cut most of Li Qi's tax field and Taitang, and reduced the tax by ninety, and released all the rice, grain, and money in Li Qi's private house and treasury, and divided them into three products, one product to reward the soldiers who participated in the war, one product to help the poor people, and one product to dismiss the town Hague army.

As for the many staff, marquis and tax collectors who relied on Li Qi to do evil, Gao Yue personally sat in the government and asked the officials and the people to denounce them together, and those who committed the most evil crimes were immediately executed, and those who were less serious were punished and confiscated from their family property, and they were not merciless.

In just ten days, the 15 prefectures of Xuanrunyue quickly settled down, and the weather was new.

But Gao Yue was by no means unreserved, Huainan and Suzhou and Hangzhou's salt profits totaled 3 million yuan of money and silk were all left by him, if the emperor softened, he was ready to directly use it as military expenses for the expedition to the south: Gao Yue was still kind in nature, and he was not ready to ask the treasury branch for excess expenses at that time.

In addition, in the Han Rong era, the Zhen Navy had 30 building ships and 100 fighting ships, which were also collected by Gao Yue, and the Zhen Hague Army itself was largely eliminated by Gao Yue, and Gao Yue was completely appointed to Bai Liangqi's Danyang Army from the defense of Houjing Gate.

Bai Liangqi was also very grateful, so he assured Gao Yue that I was a Danyang army......

Gao Yue also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly replied to Bai, Danyang's military name is unlucky, and after that, your army and the three armies of Quarry and Yisheng will be merged into the new town navy, and all the sons of the state will be abolished and returned to farming.

Soon, Liu Zan, Li Ruochu, Wang Wei and others came, and Gao Yue privately arranged for them:

After that, the town navy was an army, and mainly naval division warships, and the province was ready to station it in Yuezhou and Mingzhou, administratively or divided into Xuanshe, western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang.

The three of them were overjoyed, so they understood it and played the last chapter, vigorously stating to the emperor Li Qi's crimes, and saying that everything was caused by Li Qi's private seizure of the two taxes.

Also willing to testify for this is Wang Haichao, the queen of Yangzi, who now suddenly "cleared up the misunderstanding" with Gao Yue, was released from prison, and insisted that when he crossed the river to supervise Li Qi's two taxes, Li Qi was disrespectful to the imperial court and wantonly insulted.

With conclusive evidence, the ship nailed to Li Qi soon arrived in Bianzhou.

Jiedu envoy Dong Jin hurriedly went to the prison envoy Ju Wenzhen to discuss.

Ju Wenzhen said: "This is a matter between everyone and Huainan, I will wait and see the power, don't breed trouble again, let the world suffer." ”

Dong Jin immediately understood, so he asked the military officials to send some rice and water to Li Qi and Gongsun Jue, and then continued to send the boat to send the two of them to the Heyin Transfer Hospital.

In fact, Ju Wenzhen is right.

In this struggle, Gao Yue limited the scale and extension in time, and only captured Li Qi, twisted it to the Beijing Division, and temporarily annexed the fifteen states of Xuanrun Yue.

Now Gao Yue's role is: Li Qi wants to withhold the two taxes, plotting against him, and there are Pei Yanling and Li Qi in the court as internal responses, so I sent troops to fight, not only to catch them, but also to send all the two taxes to Jingshi immediately - Your Majesty, you sober up, watch and do it!
