After the Song army captured Shenzhou and Baozhou, they were also completely stationed and did not carry out new offensive operations, and they also had to rest completely for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been more than half a year since Gao Huaiyuan led the troops to leave Lin'an City, but this did not violate Gao Huaiyuan's original promise to Zhao Yun to solve Li Quan within half a year, in fact, he has completely completed the control of Jingdong, so that the land of Jingdong has returned to the control of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Since the end of the battle of Jizhou, Gao Huaiyuan did not go to the front of the army again, and focused on the maintenance of stability in Jingdong, after more than a month passed, Peng Yibin's department and the ** department began to accept the reorganization, and Gao Huaiyuan ordered a group of capable middle and low-level officers from the palace front division and the infantry army and the Zhenjiang Mansion garrison army to fight this time, and enriched the Jingdong garrison army, and initially built up the middle-level officers loyal to the imperial court.

And Zhao Futang began to gradually disrupt the establishment of the righteous army, including the Flying Tiger Army, and began to reorganize the Jingdong garrison army, leaving only the elite soldiers in the army, and the rest of the old and weak people were all eliminated, and the strength of the Jingdong garrison army was refined, and handed over to the capable generals for strict training, so that not only did not reduce the Jingdong garrison force, but effectively enhanced the combat capability of the Jingdong army, so that it unified the command system, and could achieve a unified deployment of Jingdong's troops, greatly enhancing the coordination and cooperation between the armies. But if Zhao Futang wants to train the Jingdong Army to be like the elite soldiers of the palace front division, I am afraid it will take a long time, but fortunately, now that they have ended the war, they have plenty of time to do these things gradually, so Gao Huaiyuan is not very worried about this matter, and gradually let go of this matter and hand it over to Zhao Futang and other subordinates.

The result of the elite soldiers must have produced a large number of surplus personnel, for these eliminated soldiers, how to place them has become a top priority, fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan has long been mentally prepared to deal with this matter, and for a time a large number of officials from the south began to appear on the roads around Jingdong.

These officials are a group of virtuous people selected by Zhen Dexiu, Ji Xiancheng and other important ministers of the imperial court, and they have been awarded various official positions, and they began to rush to various places in Jingdong to take up their posts, and Gao Huaiyuan's instructions to these local officials are very simple, that is, after they take office, they will immediately resume local government affairs, one is to recover a large number of unclaimed land, as official land, with a very low rent, to attract refugees who fled to the south to return to their hometowns to rent land for farming, and the other is to take out a considerable number of ownerless fields and distribute them to these dismissed soldiers to give land deeds for farming, The third is to rectify local public order, severely crack down on those bandits who are the one side of the disaster, kill their heads to make an example, deter those restless and chaotic people over the years, and make them submit to the laws of the imperial court.

At the same time, Gao Huaiyuan also played the imperial court again, asking the imperial court to reduce or exempt the local taxes of Jingdong, and allocate grain and farming tools and other things, so that the people in Jingdong have land to cultivate, there are seeds to plant, and restore the economy of Jingdong as soon as possible.

Zhao Yun is also very generous, after all, the land of Jingdong was not the jurisdiction of the imperial court before, it is impossible for anyone to pay taxes to the imperial court, and the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court can't count on those taxes of Jingdong to put down the pot, not to mention that the power courts in Jingdong have to take out a lot of money and food every year to feed them, and if they are slightly dissatisfied, they will cause trouble, so in his opinion, Jingdong is originally a place to spend money, and it is impossible not to spend money.

And now Gao Huaiyuan has led the army to completely control Jingdong, so that this piece of land that has been lost in the Southern Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years has been returned to the jurisdiction of the Southern Song Dynasty, which has made him happy every day, and it is impossible for him to ignore this place, because this is undoubtedly a very big credit for him, the descendant of the Zhao family, although it is not enough to compare with the credit of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, at least compared with Song Gaozong, the founder of the Southern Song Dynasty, which of the several emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty did not want to return to the old land in the north? But only after he took the throne, he took back the land of Jingdong, and this matter is undoubtedly a very worthy achievement for him.

After reading Gao Huaiyuan's recital, Zhao Yun didn't even discuss it with the ministers, so he directly issued an order and ordered it to be handled in accordance with Gao Huaiyuan's proposal, exempting Jingdong local taxes for two years and halving taxes for three years, so that Jingdong's local agriculture and commerce can recover as soon as possible.

In this way, even if some ministers were a little slanderous, they could no longer overturn Zhao Yun's holy decree, so they had to follow Zhao Yun's instructions and began to allocate grain, farm tools and other materials for Jingdong.

As soon as the war in Jingdong gradually subsided and the news of tax reduction and exemption came out, many refugees who had fled south in the past immediately began to return north with their families and families, returning to their homeland to receive or rent official land, and start a new life.

A large number of businessmen are more olfactory than anyone else, under such good news, began to enter Jingdong on a large scale to do business, the former Jingdong in their eyes can be said to be a place that they feared, and now Jingdong has become a fragrant bait in their eyes, although the business there dare not say that it is a completely blank place, at least it is also a place to be revived, if anyone goes late, I am afraid that they will be seized by their peers, so the businessmen with financial resources are scrambling to be the first in person or send their right-hand men, flock to the north, to open up new markets.

The better news is that after tens of thousands of Li Quan's troops and several months of construction by local people, many rivers that had been silted up to Xuzhou have been dredged and released, and they can start sailing again.

At this point, the controversy in Beijing over the dredging of the canal by the laborers has come to an end, and no one dares to stand up and say that Gao Huaiyuan is full of food and has nothing to do.

And Gao Huaiyuan has finally completed what he wants to do, Jingdong has been recovered, revitalization is just around the corner, basically achieved the purpose of his dispatch this time, and it can even be said that the harvest is greater than his original idea, no matter what, he has no regrets, the only regret may be the only thing left outside Jizhou City to be ambushed by the Mongolian army of Polu.

However, there is no victorious general in the world, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, with this lesson, for them, the Song army soldiers, are a rare and valuable experience, in this matter, Gao Huaiyuan still has some luck, after all, they really fought with the strongest army in the world, although the result is not a big victory over the opponent, at least there is no shame, which also makes the Song army soldiers greatly increase their morale, and accumulate quite rich tactical experience in the plains against cavalry.

Seeing that midsummer has passed, Jingdong has gradually calmed down, and some of the remaining small forces that refuse to submit to the new army have been wiped out one by one under the cold blow of the new army, Gao Huaiyuan knew that it was time for him to set off and return to the DPRK.

He issued an order to withdraw the troops in Jinan Mansion, ordered Huayue to lead the troops, and began to hand over the city controlled by the accompanying armies to the new army for defense, and began to gradually retreat to Jinan Mansion to assemble, ready to withdraw troops and return to the court.

Originally, Gao Huaiyuan wanted to lead the army to a beautiful armed parade, so that the people of Jingdong could take a look at the majestic posture of the Song army, so as to make the people of Jingdong more at ease with the imperial court, but his plan had not yet been implemented, so he received an unexpected news from the capital and had to give up.

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan suddenly decided to return to Lin'an City immediately was because there was a major incident in the capital that he had to return to deal with immediately, and someone stabbed him in the back.

Although Gao Huaiyuan is quite powerful in Beijing, and has Zhao Yun's trust, it can be said that his position should basically be unshakable, but before he sent troops to the north, Zhao Yun was not in power for a long time, and he also subverted Shi Miyuan's party, and he still had a shallow time in Beijing, especially because of the rush to send troops, in the end he still offended many courtiers with Zheng Qingzhi as the leader and faction.

Since Gao Huaiyuan led the troops to go on the expedition, Zheng Qingzhi and these people really didn't make much trouble for him at the beginning, that is because according to what they thought, Gao Huaiyuan boasted that Haikou would pacify Li Quan within half a year this time, in their opinion, it was simply impossible, the matter of the Jingdong Red Jacket Army has been more than ten years, and the imperial court has not been able to settle it, and now Li Quan has more than 100,000 troops and occupies so much territory, but Gao Huaiyuan said that he pacified Li Quan in half a year, and many people think that Gao Huaiyuan is just a fool's dream.

But they didn't expect that Gao Huaiyuan didn't spend half a year to wipe out Li Quan's army and wipe out Li Quan's department, which greatly exceeded their expectations, Zheng Qingzhi knew that after Gao Huaiyuan made this achievement, his reputation in the court would be more prosperous, and he would not be able to compete with it in the future, and the military generals were likely to rise in the court because of Gao Huaiyuan, so Zheng Qingzhi began to use his brains again, thinking about how to deal with Gao Huaiyuan.

The hard work paid off, and Gao Huaiyuan really let him catch the problem, and this matter is really not small, Gao Huaiyuan originally planned the Northern Expedition just to exterminate Li Quan, appease the various warlord forces in Jingdong, and there was no plan to give it a go with the Mongols, when Gao Huaiyuan was in Xuzhou, Gao Huaiyuan wrote to the imperial court, asking for orders to send troops to Jizhou, help Peng Yibin's army to relieve the siege, and recover most of the lost territory in Jingdong by the way, in the eyes of everyone, there is nothing wrong with this matter.

But it was this incident that made Zheng Qingyi help people find the problem, and at the same time they also sent a lot of people to Gao Huaiyuan's birthplace, that is, Daye County, where Gao Huaiyuan was located, and secretly searched for a long time, and finally caught some of Gao Huaiyuan's sore feet.
