Chapter 465: Reward
The news that Zuo Mengeng was suddenly killed by the militia in Ji'an Mansion came out, and Jin Shenghuan, who was still in front of Wang Yuncheng's department, was terrified when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out whether Zuo Menggeng's death was artificially designed for a while.
Just when he was in doubt, Gan Hui had already led the Xuanjia army to Ganzhou Mansion and sent a military order to Jin Shenghuan, ordering him to come to the Chinese military camp to discuss the military situation. At the same time as the military order, it was a document written by Gan Hui himself, in which he explained in detail that Zuo Menggeng's death was an accidental event, and Jin Shenghuan did not need to be suspicious. The Xuanjia Army will inevitably guarantee the interests of Shenghuan and will never cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Gan Hui suddenly led a large army to press the border, that is, he was ready to do both. If Jin Shenghuan obediently came to the Chinese military camp to discuss matters to show his loyalty, then everything would be business as usual. If Jin Shenghuan dared to have two hearts, he would immediately send troops to exterminate him.
After Jin Shenghuan discussed with the generals, there was no future for resistance, and the only way out was to believe that Zuo Mengeng did die by accident and went to the Xuanjia Army camp to resume his life.
He arrived at the Xuanjia military camp in a panic, Gan Hui saw that he came honestly, and in order to win over this strong general of the left army, he made a bloody alliance with him, became brothers, and vowed never to fail each other.
Jin Shenghuan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that everything was really a misunderstanding, Gan Hui and Xuanjia Jun were not treacherous. It seems that Zuo Menggeng's kid committed the evil act of killing his father, and it can be regarded as the restoration of Skynet, which is negligent but not leaky, and has been retributed.
Because Jin Shenghuan's troops fought for a month, and the soldiers were also tired, Gan Hui ordered Jin Shenghuan's troops to rest in the military camp for a while, and also sent wine and meat to the army, so that he did not have to fight with the remnants of Wang Yuncheng in Ganzhou for the time being.
After appeasing Jin Shenghuan's subordinates, Gan Hui followed Fang Yuan's instructions and once again sent a general of the Left Army who had made a deal with Wang Yun to go to Ganzhou Mansion to discuss surrender with Wang Yuncheng. The general of the left army made it clear to Wang Yuncheng that the culprit Zuo Mengeng had died on the battlefield, and hoped that Wang Yuncheng would stop making useless resistance and lead the army to surrender.
Fang Yuan was grateful for Wang Yuncheng's loyalty, and would immediately announce Zuo Mengeng's father-killing deeds to the world, and bury Zuo Liangyu with the gift of Ningnan Hou. And Wang Yuncheng will also be reused, and he will be transferred to the Jinyi Wei of the Judicial Governor's Office to serve as the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi.
Zuo Mengeng, who forced Wang Yuncheng to rebel, has died on the battlefield, and Wang Yuncheng's banner of crusading against Zuo Mengeng has lost its appeal. In addition, Fang Yuan promised to bury Zuo Liangyu and reuse him as the Tongzhi of Jinyiwei, which can be regarded as the most appropriate aftermath of this father-killing incident.
Wang Yuncheng thought about it, but he didn't do it too much, and if he resisted again, the previous name of loyalty would be in vain. Others will never praise him for raising troops because of his loyalty to Zuo Liangyu, but because he pretended to be loyal to Zuo Liangyu and practiced independent secession.
Wang Yuncheng went north to worship, sacrificed Zuo Liangyu from afar, and then opened the door and surrendered.
Hao Xiaozhong and Zhang Yingxiang, who had surrendered before, were unwilling to surrender. The two are not loyal to the Ming court, but they have long been accustomed to the leisurely days of looting if they want to. And the military regulations of Fang Yuan's Xuanjia Army were too strict, and they were unwilling to belong to the establishment of the Xuanjia Army.
The two of them were different from Wang Yuncheng, so they led 3,000 remnants of soldiers to flee overnight and fled to Nan'an Mansion, where the mountains and mountains were high, and one person occupied two counties and became the king of the mountain.
In order to avoid attracting the pursuit of the Xuanjia army, the second general handed Gan Hui a letter of surrender. It shows that the two of them will never be enemies of the Xuanjia Army, and fully support Fang Yuan's rule over Jiangxi. The four county towns occupied will also pay the land taxes truthfully, and ask Fang Yuan and Gan Hui to raise their noble hands and let them go.
At this point, most of the state capitals of Jiangxi have been pacified and included in the territory of the Xuanjia Army.
The rest of the people in Nan'an Mansion, Hao Xiaozhong and Zhang Yingxiang, became the king of the mountain among the mountains and mountains, because the terrain and environment in southwest Jiangxi were too harsh, and it was not an overnight thing to exterminate. In addition, the two of them also went to the letter of surrender, and they were willing to recognize Fang Yuan's rule, and there was no need to mobilize the people specifically for these two rogue who could not make the climate, and invaded the mountains of Nan'an Mansion on a large scale.
Gan Hui set up the administrative office of the Jiangxi General Army in Ganzhou Mansion, and Jin Shenghuan, the Jiangxi General Army, led the army to be stationed in Ganzhou Mansion, responsible for suppressing bandits in southern and western Jiangxi, as well as continuing to recruit Hao Xiaozhong and Zhang Yingxiang.
Gan Hui led the army back to Nanchang Mansion, used Nanchang Mansion as the seat of the governor of Jiangxi, and sent the good news of the recovery of Jiangxi to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was overjoyed when he received the good news from Gan Hui to recover Jiangxi.
Before the Battle of Jiangxi, Fang Yuan was also worried that the Zuo Liangyu Group would use a total of more than 300,000 troops, whether the Xuanjia Army would encounter a vicious battle, and even the army would be trapped in Jiangxi and could not be withdrawn. He also ordered Jingjie to mobilize 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers to be stationed in Anqing and Luzhou in Jiangbei, one is to officially take over the two mansions, and the other is to prevent the Ming army in Fengyang Mansion and Henan from going south.
As soon as the battle began, the process was unexpectedly smooth. The Zuo Liangyu group, which once had an army of 300,000, broke out into continuous infighting when facing the strong enemy Xuanjia Army. In just a few months, the son killed his father, and the generals fought among themselves, which made the 300,000 bandits that Fang Yuan was afraid of disappear.
What surprised Fang Yuan even more was that in this battle, the battle damage of the Xuanjia Army was almost negligible. In addition to the frontal battle in the Jiangbei battlefield, stationed in Jiujiang Town, entered Nanchang Mansion, and captured Ji'an Mansion, they did not use a single soldier of the Xuanjia Army, and Zuo Mengeng and Jin Shenghuan were the two pioneers who surrendered.
It was originally a huge military disaster, but it suddenly disappeared into invisibility, and all that remained was some aftermath work such as suppressing bandits and incorporating militia groups.
Fang Yuan began to reward the meritorious heroes of this battle.
The one who made the greatest contribution was naturally Gan Hui, the commander who had full authority to preside over the recovery of Jiangxi's military affairs for one or two years. Fang Yuan immediately appointed Gan Hui as the governor of Jiangxi, with full responsibility for Jiangxi's military and political affairs. Gan Hui's wife, Zuo Nan, was named Mrs. Yipin. The rest of the meritorious generals will be judged by Gan Hui himself, and then reported to Fang Yuan for approval.
While rewarding Gan Hui and his wife, Fang Yuan also sent someone to secretly issue an order to Gan Hui to prepare 100,000 soldiers in Jiangxi, and always guard the movement of Li Zicheng in Huguang.
In order to facilitate Gan Hui's smooth development of military and political affairs in Jiangxi, Fang Yuan also gave Gan Hui greater real power and concessions. This time, he didn't take a penny of the silver looted from the left army, and handed it over to Gan Hui to arrange for his own use. even pardoned the Tian Fu of the whole Jiangxi for two years, so that after Li Zicheng and the left army took turns to intrude, Jiangxi, where the people's livelihood had already withered, recuperated.
In order to enrich the population of Jiangxi, those who had fled from Jiangxi to Zhejiang and were temporarily resettled were all allowed to return to their hometown Jiangxi. Each household is divided into 20 acres of land, and the government needs to provide rice seeds, and those who cultivate cattle are exempted from three years of land tax; If the government does not need to provide it, it will be exempted from five years of land tax.
Fang Yuan didn't need Jiangxi to pay much land taxes and commercial taxes, and the biggest bottom line for Gan Hui to govern Jiangxi was that the order of Jiangxi should not be chaotic, and the bandits and rogues should be exterminated as soon as possible, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment.
The second most meritorious person is Zheng Zhibao, who persuaded Zuo Mengeng to surrender with his three-inch tongue. Because Zheng Zhibao had been rewarded before, this time he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he was rewarded with 3,000 acres of fertile land. Feng Qi's wife Xu is the second rank of the wife, and the second son enters the Jinyi Guard and serves as the Governor's Mansion Guard.
Jin Shenghuan, the chief soldier of Jiangxi, who took the lead in surrendering and participated in the battle of southern Jiangnan, rewarded 5,000 acres of fertile land and 100,000 taels of silver, and all the sons also had their own rewards.
Zuo Mengeng, who cheated to death, Fang Yuan ordered Gan Hui to secretly send a reward of 50,000 taels of silver, which was regarded as a reward for his meritorious service.
Wang Yuncheng, for the loyal and righteous man who raised the anti-flag of the deceased, Fang Yuan not only pardoned him for his crimes, but also transferred him to serve as the Tongzhi of Jinyi Wei in accordance with his previous promise. Fang Yuan not only reused him, but also treated him as a close minister.
There is no ruler who does not appreciate or like it, even if it is a loyal servant of the enemy. Just as villains like gentlemen and hate villains, it is the same way.
As for the other generals of the Left Army who followed the crowd, they were appointed by Gan Hui according to the actual situation and at his discretion, and Fang Yuan did not interfere more.
After pacifying the Zuoliangyu warlord group in Jiangxi, Fang Yuan's prestige was already in full swing, and the most important coronation ceremony was next.
