Chapter 492: Counterinsurgency

The autumn wind is howling and the weather is cool.

The incorporation of the rebels went smoothly, and by dusk it was all over.

Cheng Yanjin and Qin Tian's soldiers and horses were stationed in one place, and Li Luo's soldiers and horses were stationed in one place.

As night came, the wind became stronger.

In the military camp of the Wing King Li Luo, Li Luo walked back and forth in the big tent.

Although he chose to forbear, Qin Tian killed Li Yiyu like this, he still found it difficult to accept, he felt very aggrieved in his heart, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.

"Someone!"

At the sound of an order, someone immediately appeared in the big tent.

"What does the prince command?"

"This king has a letter here, after you return to the capital, find a way to hand it over to Gao Shilian."

Regarding the grievances between Qin Tian and Gao Shilian, Li Luo knew a little bit, and he still had a little connection with Gao Shilian, so if he told Gao Shilian about Qin Tian's killing and surrender here, Gao Shilian would inevitably impeach Qin Tian in the court.

Killing and surrendering has always been a big crime, and it is easy and unforgivable, and at that time, Li Shimin had to do some punishment to Qin Tian.

After receiving the order, the spy quickly retreated, and soon disappeared into the night.

At the same time, in the Tang army camp, Cheng Yanjin's face turned red and glared at Qin Tian angrily.

He had already endured Qin Tian for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that he was trying to absorb those rebels, he would have made trouble with Qin Tian a long time ago.

"Say, why did you kill Li Yiyu, did I tell you that the Holy Lord wants Li Yiyu to surrender, why do you still want to kill him?"

The anger in the big tent was a little dignified, it was the first time Qin Tian had seen Cheng Biting Jin so angry, but he was still calm.

After sitting down next to him, he poured himself a glass of wine, and when Cheng Yanjin saw him like this, he couldn't wait to step forward and smoke him immediately.

"You...... What do you mean? ”

Qin Tian drank the glass of wine and said, "Lu Guogong, don't you think Li Yiyu is very damned?" ”

"He really deserves to die, but the saint wants to show that he is very merciful, so for the old party of the East Palace, as long as they are willing to surrender, the saint will spare their lives, not to mention that Li Yiyu surrendered, do you know that this is a killing?"

Qin Tian nodded: "The Holy One has just ascended the throne, it is okay to be merciful, but it is okay to those old parties who have not rebelled, but not to those who rebel, if they can still survive if they rebel, then the old party of the East Palace will think that the cost of rebellion is very low, and they can rebel at any time. ”

After saying this, Cheng Yanjin's expression moved slightly, and Qin Tian continued: "Rebellion is a capital crime, whether you surrender or not, you have to die, only in this way can those who have the intention of rebelling be afraid in their hearts and dare not do it, Li Yiyu, as Li Jiancheng's old party, is still very loyal to Li Jiancheng, do you think he really surrendered?" It's just that he saw that he couldn't hold Mengzhou City, so he surrendered for his life. ”

"Of course, it is not ruled out that Li Luo asked him to surrender, after all, in their opinion, as long as they surrender, they can live, and as long as they live, there will be a chance in the future, but Benhou does not allow them to have another chance, Li Yiyu still wants to do things for Li Luo, so wait for the next life."

After speaking, Qin Tian drank again, and then didn't say anything more, but at this time, Cheng Yanjin had already understood what Qin Tian meant.

Killing Li Yiyu was just to deter Li Luo and cut off some of Li Luo's helpers, so that no matter whether Li Luo would rebel in the future, it would be of great help to them.

Of course, the most important thing is to deter those Li Jiancheng's old party, so that they can understand that Li Shimin will not kill them if he does not kill them, but if they dare to rebel against the imperial court, then they will have only one consequence, that is, death.

"Count what you kid said is reasonable, you write a note in these situations, and I will send someone to send you to the capital, otherwise the matter of your killing and surrender will not be easy to deal with."

Qin Tian nodded, and not long after, on the side of the Tang army's camp, there was also a spy hurrying towards Chang'an City.

------------------

Li Yiyu's rebellion is finally over.

The next day, after Li Luo said a few words to Cheng Yanjin, he led his soldiers and horses to Huaizhou.

Cheng Yanjin and Qin Tian were here, but they were not in a hurry to return to the court.

The rebels have been pacified, but many of the refugees who have joined the rebels have not yet been resolved, and there are still people in many places who do not have enough to eat, and these need to be properly resettled before they can leave.

On this day, in the Tang army camp, Qin Tianming summoned all the soldiers.

"Now, the rebels are pacified, and there is no need to continue to be a soldier, but the court now needs soldiers and horses, so Benhou gives you two choices, if you are willing to continue to be a soldier, Benhou will accept you back to Beijing, and you will continue to serve the court, as long as you have made war achievements, the court is indispensable to your reward, if it is a great war, it is also possible to worship the prime minister, of course, if you are willing to leave, this marquis will give you some money and food, and then give you some land, so that they can live a comfortable life......"

Qin Tian muttered, and then the subdued refugee rebels began to make a choice.

The reason why these people joined the rebels was just to have enough to eat, but now that the court has settled them, many people are still willing to return to the ordinary, to be ordinary people, and to live their own small lives.

There are many such people, almost half of the rebels, all they want is stability, whether they are rebels or are absorbed by Qin Tian, they are all last resort, just to have enough to eat.

Now that there are better options, they naturally want to choose the risk-free ones.

However, it is undeniable that among those refugees, there are some soldiers who have a passion and want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and after experiencing such a fight, they are more and more enthusiastic about killing on the battlefield, so when these people are faced with such a choice, they still want to stay in the army and become a soldier.

After such a choice, there were only about 5,000 people left in the entire military camp in the end, who were willing to continue to serve as soldiers, and most of the rest wanted to go back to live an ordinary life.

After making this choice, Qin Tian didn't say anything, those who were willing to stay were paid military salaries, registered and made records, and those who were unwilling to stay were given grain and grass, given some money, and according to their different locations, they were given land, and so on.

Those who are willing to stay do not need to be too troublesome, and those who are not willing to stay are not troublesome to distribute grain and grass, and it is a lot of trouble if they do not overdo the land.

A lot of land is ownerless, and the ownerless land belongs to the imperial court, and it's good to say that these have to be distributed, but to be honest, there are not many such lands.

Then if they want to appease the almost 10,000 rebel refugees, it is obviously not enough to have those ownerless fertile fields, so they can only find a way from other places.

Even if the land is allocated enough, it will take time to help them grow crops and so on.
