Chapter 213: The Fall of Western Qin
In 392 A.D., at the beginning of August, it was learned that the beggar Qian had returned to the south to escape from Qiuchi, and the Hexi army divided into three routes day and night, and marched towards Didao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first to arrive were Li Wei and Wang Maide.
The two did not rush into the city, but stationed the army outside the city, waiting for the arrival of the capital.
In view of the fact that Qifu Yizhou had made it clear that he was willing to surrender and that the war was about to end, Li Wei and Wang Maide looked extremely relaxed and joked with each other.
The defenders of the city were also not nervous by the siege of the city, and everyone knew that the surrender was a foregone conclusion, and they were quietly waiting for fate to come.
On the tenth day of the first month of August, Dadu Escort Shuo arrived at Didao with Cui Hong, Wang Zhenxi, Fuqu Nancheng, Bald Wei Tan, Kang Long and other civil and military personnel.
"The last general will welcome the capital protection."
In front of the camp outside the city, the generals led by Li Wei and Wang Maide were welcoming Wei Shuo's arrival.
Yue Zhigui, who was mixed in the crowd, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Wei Shuo's immature face.
This was the first time he had seen Wei Shuo in person, and he never expected that the Megatron Protector would be so young.
Yue Zhigui, who was in deep thought, suddenly heard someone call his name, and hurriedly followed the reputation.
I saw Wang Maide waving at him and motioned for him to come forward to meet Daduhu.
Yue Jiugui didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and respectfully saluted Wei Shuo: "Meet Dadu Hu." ”
"You're just the more questioned? I heard that you performed well, and cooperated with Maide to take Xiangwu City. ”
"Don't dare to be praised by the capital, it's all Wang Tingshi's meritorious planning, and he just acts according to the plan."
"Well, it is also a skill to be able to listen to the opinions of smart people."
"Nowadays, there are people who are not very capable, but they are often pretentious and unwilling to listen to the opinions of others, and such people will get into trouble sooner or later."
"The lord's words are very good, and the leader has decided to accept the advice of his subordinates, and intends to hand over the tribe and settle in Guzang in the north."
"Huh? This ......"
The more he looked at Wang Maide and Wei Shuo, who were singing and harmonizing in front of him, why didn't he understand the situation in front of him?
Although he had expected this day, he did not expect it to come so soon.
He believed that if he showed the slightest suspicion, he would immediately lead to death.
Therefore, Yue questioned and returned to the ground quickly, expressing his willingness to obey Hexi's arrangement.
Seeing Yue Zhigui so acquainted, Wei Shuo showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He stepped forward to pick up the other party and comforted him with good intentions: "Don't worry about your future life, Chief, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life." ”
Although the more questioning is in the bottom of his heart, he can't wait to curse Hexi to death, but on the surface, he has to make a grateful appearance.
"Thank you for the love of Dadu, and I am willing to go to the soup for Dadu."
"Well, it's good, as long as you work well for Hexi, you will definitely not be disadvantaged in the future."
After easily dealing with the cross-examination, Wei Shuo and everyone slowly walked into the big tent, and then they will discuss matters related to the surrender.
After some discussion, everyone finally reached an agreement.
It was decided that Li Wei would lead the army into the city to take over the defense of Didao City, and then the guard Shuo would lead the guard battalion into the city to accept the surrender of Western Qin.
As for Wang Maide, he led a large army to garrison outside the city, just in case.
On August 13, begging Yizhou to surrender tables, classics, and stamps in his hands, he surrendered with meat.
The rest of the Western Qin civil and military forces knelt on both sides of the city gate to welcome the Hexi army into the city.
Because it was Western Qin who surrendered on his own initiative, Li Wei did not encounter any resistance when he took over the city defense.
Almost without resistance, the defenders laid down their arms and surrendered the city.
After entering the city, Wei Shuo restrained his soldiers from looting the place, and declared that once discovered, it would be dealt with according to military law.
As a result, the people in the city were hardly harassed, and the people's morale was stabilized.
After initially mastering Qinzhou, Wei Shuo immediately sent all the Western Qin officials except for Qifu Yizhou to Guzang for resettlement.
At the same time, he also went to the palace and asked Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan and others to arrange people to take over the entire Qinzhou government affairs as soon as possible.
……
Throughout the month of August, the Guardians of the Metropolis were busy and pleasant.
After the fall of Western Qin, Wei Shuo began to gradually shift his focus to restore Qinzhou's economy. √
However, before that, he needs to clean up the Longyou family first.
By taking advantage of the power of the Western Qin, Wei Shuo spread the word to the Quartet in the name of the capital protector, demanding that the Longyou family hand over the land and the tribes, and demolish the dock forts in various places.
Some families were unwilling to be tied up, and rebelled one after another.
Wei Shuo, with Wang Maide as the main general, sent troops to fight the rebellion.
And when the families from all over the world heard that it was Wang Maide, who was a killer god, they were all frightened, for fear of repeating the mistake of Tianshui Haoqiang.
Sure enough, Wang Maide lived up to the expectations of most of the capital, and it only took ten days to sweep away the powerful rebellions in various places.
After this toss, except for a few families, the rest of the Longyou families suffered heavy losses.
After paying a huge price, the Longyou family finally recognized the facts, and in order to keep the family, they had to accept the new rules.
And with Hexi's entry into Qinzhou, many family talents also took the initiative to join Wei Shuo.
It's just that what makes everyone dissatisfied is that except for a few people who were directly awarded official positions, the vast majority of people have been arranged to go to Liangsha and Erzhou for internships.
Then, with the arrival of administrative officials, the counties and counties of Qinzhou began to carry out vigorous reforms.
A large number of serfs, tenants, and slaves were emancipated, granted land by the government, and became yeoman people who paid taxes according to the rules.
When serfs, tenants, and servants received the certificates, house deeds, and land deeds issued by the Metropolitan Protectorate with both hands, they couldn't help but cry and knelt on the ground and shouted Long live the Metropolitan Protector.
With the proper resettlement of more than 800,000 Hu and Han people, the old pattern of being ruled by the powerful family and the Hu clan was completely broken.
Qinzhou finally ushered in a new life, and was firmly controlled by Hexi.
After recovering the five counties of Qinzhou, Wei Shuo not only increased the population by 800,000, but also opened up the road to Guanzhong in the east.
At this point, Later Qin had been surrounded by Hexi from the north and west, bringing great pressure to Guanzhong.
In order to pacify Qinzhou as soon as possible, Wei Shuo transferred Guo Wen, the former assassin of Shazhou, to serve as the assassin of Qinzhou, and Jiang Fei, a native of Tianshui, to serve as the governor of Qinzhou.
Choosing Jiang Fei instead of Wang Maide, who had made great achievements, as the governor of Qinzhou was a decision he made after careful consideration.
Because Wang Maide killed too much in Longyou, if he sat in Qinzhou again, although it could also deter Xiaoxiao, it was not conducive to winning the hearts of the people and stabilizing the place.
On the contrary, Jiang Fei was born in Tianshui and did not participate in the massacre of local heroes, so he would let the people of Qinzhou accept him as soon as possible.
The soon-to-be-established Qinzhou Governor's Office has a heavy task on its shoulders, in addition to pacifying the local area.
Jiang Fei also needs to devote some energy to be vigilant against Hou Qin and Qiu Chi, and beware of the enemy's sneak attack.
In addition, in order to strengthen control, the Duhufu spent a huge amount of money to prepare for the construction of Dunhuang-Zhangye-Guzang-Jincheng-Shangtai this cement straight road.
After settling in the work of Hou Qinzhou, Wei Shuo made time to meet the Western Qin clan and beg Yizhou.
……
"The sinner begs to return to see the protector of the capital."
Since the surrender, the beggar has not slept a day peacefully, and the first thing he thinks of when he opens his eyes every day is to touch his neck and his head is still there.
For fear that Hexi would count the matter of begging for Qiangui to flee south on his head, unlike the father and son who never gave up, Qifu Yizhou really wanted to surrender to Hexi.
In his opinion, since he couldn't defeat Hexi, he could simply surrender, anyway, it was not uncommon for Hulu to surrender to the Central Plains Dynasty.
After a few days of worrying, I finally waited for Wei Shuo's summons.
Wei Shuo sat on it, raised his eyes and looked at the begging Yizhou who was kneeling below, and couldn't help but sigh.
Begging for Qiangui is really powerful, Begging Yizhou was sold by him, and he was even grateful to Dade.
However, he is not a bald person, nor is he Yao Xing, and he will never give the beggar Qiangui father and son a chance again.
Thinking of this, he looked at Qifu Yizhou playfully, and his tone was inexplicable.
"Begging Yizhou, Shuo has always been unable to understand one thing, I dare to ask you to solve your doubts."
"Dadu Hu is polite, please speak up to Dadu Hu, and you should know everything when you make up your mind."
"Why did you return to your father and son and go south to Qiuchi, leaving you to be responsible for surrendering? Is there some conspiracy between you? ”
"Huh? This...... This? ”
Listening to the coldness in Wei Shuo's words, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Yizhou's forehead, and he hurriedly swore an oath: "Most of the guards are good, I really want to surrender, and there is no other conspiracy." ”
"Hmph, it's not clear whether you have a plot at the moment, but I can tell you very responsibly that your brother's intention to return to Nanben is unknown."
"If you dare to hide anything from Pontus, after finding out, you will definitely be able to taste what it is like to be cut by a thousand cuts."
