Chapter 821: What the People Want
In early May, Lu Qian led his army back to Yanjing.
The bones of a group of people were buried in the cemetery behind the Yanjing Martyrs' Shrine, and then a ceremony was held here to commemorate the soldiers who died in the battle in the north this year.
Hei Saburo already knew the bad news of Bao Xu, and cried bitterly again. It's just that this time Song Jiang cried bitterly, but there was no Chao Gai to accompany him.
That Zhu Tong, Lei Heng and Chao Gai are also old friends, there are two generals in the Martyrs' Shrine, Chao Gai went to worship on the day he arrived in Yanjing, crying red eyes, crying hoarse voice. Hei Saburo accompanied Chao Gai to cry from the beginning to the end.
However, now this Bao Xu has a bird relationship with Chao Gai?
Just like in the Linhuang Mansion, after hearing the bad news of Liu Shunren, Guo Yaoshi and others also set up a spiritual seat in the back garden of their home to worship. On weekdays, Emperor Tianzuo, who trusts and loves the three of Guo Yaoshi, looks directly at him as if he has not seen it.
Liu Shunren's identity at the time of his death was Lu Qi's general, not his subordinate Yelu Yanxi. He can understand the ease with which Pharmacist Guo and the others have been friends with Liu Shunren for many years, and can even understand Liu Shunren's hardships when he surrenders to Lu Qi. On that day, he was left alone in Yanzhou, and if he hadn't surrendered to Lu Qi, he was afraid that his life would have been lost. But a rebel is a rebel.
Yanjing City was white and sad for a short time, but in fact, although Lu Qian swept away the Jurchens this year, attacked the Northern Liao and Shu Song Dynasty, and the attack on the small court in Guizhou on the Lingnan side was still continuing. Compared to the results achieved, this loss is not seen at all.
The battle in Lingnan and the fight with Northern Liao were appetizers, and the collision with the Song army in Guanzhong was no problem.
The Shu Song Dynasty did it with all their might, and the army slaughtered out of the Xingyuan Mansion [Hanzhong], with as many as 100,000 troops. The generals who led the troops were Liu Guangguo, Yao Pingzhong, Yao Youzhong, Liu Qi and other generals, and there were also Wang De, Han Wu, Xie Yuan, Zhang Zhongfu, Zhang Zhongyan and other strong generals, that is, the people who controlled the logistics and transportation were Su Yuanjing, Chen Yu, Zhao Butry, Li Kui and other Zhao Song irons!
However there is no use for birds. The Song army is a powerful infantry group, and it has become a pure target of flesh and blood in front of a piece of artillery. The whole process of the war was a process in which the clumsy infantry army of the Song army changed from defense to offense, learning how to attack the enemy, but suffered a heavy blow.
There were quite a few horse troops in the Northwest Army. The coordination of the horse army and the artillery, the former chasing and killing the collapsed and disorganized infantry army, and the latter bombarding the strict and serious infantry army, which complemented each other.
Lu Zhishen can only be said to be a passing score in fighting alone, but there are many talents around him, and those who came from the Zhao and Song dynasties, the flower monk did not force them to meet with the Zhao and Song swordsmen. The Wu family [Wu Jue Wu Lin], the Yang family [Yang Keshi, etc.], the Qu family [Cookie, Qu Duan], Wang Jin, Wang Yuan, etc., are all used. Without them, the Northwest Army would have a large number of soldiers and the same talents.
In the fight against Zhao and Song, Monk Hua took Suo Chao, Tang Bin, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, Shi Jin, Li Qiong and others as generals, supplemented by Zhu Wu, a divine military division.
The artillery was in front, the infantry was in the rear, and the cavalry was distributed on both wings. The formation is very ordinary and ordinary, but the effect is unexpectedly good.
In the face of the Song army's infantry array, the cannon opened fire to bombard his mother, and when he saw the chaos of the Song army's infantry armor, he dispatched the ironclad horse army on both wings to charge. It was easy to press the army that Shu Song had tried his best to pull back into Shuzhong.
Helplessly, the habits of the Song army for more than a hundred years are too difficult to change, with heavy infantry and bows and crossbows as the main force, they are an army built on defense. However, the bows and crossbows that they could kill and injure the enemy in the past were now easily compared to the cannons. The Song army did not have the strongest guard of honor, and only relied on heavy armor swords and axes to charge against the bombardment of artillery.
In this way, the great artist mustered up the courage to fight so tepidly. How huge the psychological trauma of this result is for Chengdu Junchen, let's not explain it.
Just say that now, the Qi army is dead and wounded this year, and the main force is still in the Jurchen. The losses in the battle of Shan Chenzhou [Zhu Tong and Lei Heng] surpassed the Northwest Army by more than one grade, not to mention the battle of Liaoyang later.
The army was accompanied by a large number of prisoners, some of whom were Jurchen women and children sent back from the north, and some of whom were prisoners of war on the field.
There are 20,000 people in the number, and that's just a part of the total. You must know that 30,000 people were captured in the first battle of Liaoyang alone, and there was the battle of Liaoxi Prefecture in front, and there was also the clarity and sweep of the mixed Jiangbei Jurchens in the back, and more than 20,000 people were selected as 'superior goods'.
Either the Bohai, the Murwei and the Khitan prisoners of war, but the fair-looking young women and children.
The former does not have a strong sense of belonging to the Jurchens, and the latter is a good product that can be sold anywhere.
Lu Qian didn't want to sell them all as slaves. Half of these people are to be brought back to Yidu, and some of the women and children in them will be sold, mainly for veterans, and a large part of the rest will be included in the imperial village.
And the other half, he did the same.
Lu Qian is very aware of the development of Yanjing, the industry and commerce in this place have been revived, and now because of the stimulation of wool and cashmere, there is a considerable shortage of manpower. And as a good emperor, it is necessary to quench the hunger and thirst of the people, so he came with people.
Five or six thousand people were assigned to Yanjing's local "Zhongliang" to taste the sweetness, and the remaining thousands of men, women, women and children were sent to the Huangzhuang with a wave of his hand.
Yanjing Mansion has two abundant water and grass places in Nanhaizi and Yanfangdian, which is the horse farm where Emperor Lu put his horses. There are a lot of Khitan prisoners of war in it, and they are doing well, and they are all sent by their daughters-in-law this time. Moreover, Yanjing Province has experienced many years of chaos in the late Liao Dynasty, and according to population statistics, the ratio of men and women is somewhat unbalanced. Now Lu Qian can't give a pure Han daughter-in-law to the singles of Yanjing Mansion, and even the Goryeo daughter-in-law can't be satisfied, so he can only take a Jurchen woman. Of course, many of these Jurchen women were Han, Khitan, Bohai, etc.
When the Jurchens arose, they swept Liaodong, swept Shangjing and Zhongjing, and I don't know how many women were looted, and where their previous families and relatives are now, etc., these can't be said. When Lu Qian captured them at that time, he didn't know in his heart that they were probably not really Jurchens, but what could they do? Do you want to send them back to their hometown? That's it, 'mess with the mandarin duck spectrum'.
It is not uncommon for relatives to be separated during war. If you can't find your family, don't blame yourself for your hard life, just accept your fate.
Those women must also be mentally prepared, and it is also a blessing for them to be able to find a man and form a family to live.
And Lu Qian also intends to build a city on the grassland north of Danzhou, that is, he contacted Bei'anzhou, so as to protect the pasture, right?
Otherwise, just like this one, once the Liao army is killed, where will there be a happy land north of Danzhou. Don't talk about where to put the horses, those small tribes who surrendered to Lu Qi, even if they fled into the city a little later, they had to be careful of being swept and captured by the Liao army from the north.
Now that Lu Qi has flattened the Jurchens, the remaining residues are no longer worth Lu Qi's distraction and worry about, and its existence at the national level has plummeted, and it has become a small trouble that can be solved by a local state capital.
Therefore, Lu Qi, who has free his hands, will put the energy of the north on the Liao army, so it is necessary to strengthen their control over the large grasslands south of Bei'anzhou. To a certain extent, this matter is more about money, because sheep raising requires pasture grassland.
Therefore, building a city has become a necessary and the most effective means.
But if you want to shelter and cover a huge pasture, you can't rely on a city alone, you still need a fortress like the previous Pingliao Village.
It's a big job.
The cost is huge, the manpower and material resources required are huge, and fortunately, its span is not small.
This and the pastures that are about to be demarcated require a lot of labor. Lu Qian didn't like the prisoners at all, men could work, and promised them to be honest and obedient, and they could go home after a few years.
But women and children are not wealth? Treat them as property, as a kind of goods, and barter them, which can save the expenses of the court.
As for the headache of craftsmen and the progress of the project, there is really no need to worry.
In the army and locally, there is no shortage of such people, there are in any state and county, and there are even more in Yanjing City. And this is a headache for the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Cabinet, Lu Qian only needs to see the results.
Labor is a prisoner of war, and it is also appropriate to promote the Han people inside to be overseers, and the Han people in Liaodong are very willing to seize this opportunity to change their fate.
Lu Qian already knew Hu Yanzhuo's achievements and praised him greatly, but as for Dahuli Lu, he didn't see it. Everything is entrusted to Kurosaburo. "General Huyan went north this time and made outstanding achievements. defeated Mo Ge lost the royal court, which had a far-reaching impact on the political situation in Northern Liao. However, this credit is also a share of the two of you. ”
Song Jiang and Chao Gai were modest again and again, "These are all soldiers who serve their orders, and the merits of ministers are not worth mentioning." ”
Lu Qian laughed, "The work of planning and making policies is not a small end." ”
The reason why his emotions were high was because he really didn't expect Hu Yanzhuo to be so powerful, and in one fell swoop he destroyed the court of Mo Ge and captured Dahuli Lu, the king of white water in Northern Liao.
A very strange title, but no matter how strange it is, it is also a king, and it is one of the pillars of Northern Liao.
Lu Qian stayed in Yanjing for many days. According to the original set of the southern tour, he met with the local township elders and orphans, met with the local giant households, met with civil and military officials, and then went to the grassroots level, paid some money to the elderly and children, and even went to meet the refugees from the north, and won a group of people's hearts.
In fact, in Yanjing Mansion, even if he doesn't play this set of approachability, his reputation is unshakably noble.
I think that before the Yanjing Mansion was seized by Lu Qian, it was afraid for many years, lest it be killed by the Jurchens. Especially after discovering the barbarism and cruelty of the Jurchens, the latter's feelings were even stronger.
It was Lu Qian who relieved them of this danger, which in itself could win the gratitude and love of the people, not to mention that he also brought a stable life to the people of Yanjing.
The Liao State has been in turmoil for many years, especially the refugees and displaced people are rampant every year, the people are not only unclothed and hungry, their lives are not stable, and the Khitan is very oppressive, this day is very bitter.
After Lu Qian became the master, there was some turmoil in the chaotic land of Yanshan, which also made many people worried, but with the extension of time, the people of Yanshan quickly tamed.
Although Lu Qi fought, not all of the people who fought were from their Yanjing Mansion, compared to the entire Lu Qi, what were the people of their mansion?
Under Lu Qian's rule, everyone can eat a full stomach, dress warmly and sleep well, it can be said that not only the safety of life has been guaranteed, but they also see the hope of life and the rush.
This is the most precious thing that the people of Yanshan have longed for after years of turmoil and turmoil.
To this day, no need for the government to publicize it, the people of Yanshan are grateful to Lu Qian, and the turmoil when Lu Qi became the master has long been forgotten in the corner.
