Chapter 876: Pacifying Jiangdong
It was a dry afternoon, in the imperial palace in the heart of Xuanwu Lake in Jiankang City, Chen Kefu lived on the imperial chair of the Golden Palace, looking at this luxurious palace a little absent-mindedly.) This Jiankang city Chen Kefu came for the first time, and the Jiankang city where he was born had been razed to the ground as early as after Yang Guang attacked Jiankang.
The ruins of the Stone Town are still in the east direction of the newly built Cannes, which is now very new, and has been built for less than ten years. Although they have experienced several battles, especially this time, the armies of Wu and Chen repeatedly pulled in Jiankang, and the 31 city gates inside and outside Jiankang were mostly damaged. However, as this palace castle in the middle of the lake, it is very well preserved. A few attacks and defenses before and after a few books, but they didn't affect much here.
After Chen Kefu defeated the Wu army in Siping Mountain, Chen Jun also returned to Jiankang City, and Chen Kefu also stepped into Jiankang's palace for the first time.
Jiankang Palace is very grand and magnificent, Shen Faxing may have already hit the idea of making his own palace city in the future, so this palace was built extremely grandiose. On an island in the middle of the lake, a city on the water was built. There are 9,999 rooms in the entire palace alone, and there are dozens of main halls.
In terms of grandeur alone, the Jiankang Imperial City is even above the imperial city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, not to mention far surpassing the imperial city of Beijing and the imperial city of Tokyo. When he first entered here, Chen Kefu was also amazed by this palace complex that was like an immortal capital completely living in the lake.
The generals of the Chen army were feeling the luxury and luxury of this palace. Li Benlei even directly proposed to demolish this ingenious palace complex.
According to the old marshal. Such a palace was only qualified for the Son of Heaven to live in, and the emperor had already designated Luoyang as the national capital. Now that Jiangdong has been recovered, Jiankang is no longer the capital of a country, and since it is not a national capital, it is natural that it cannot exceed the etiquette regulations to have such a palace.
And another marshal Qu Tutong even directly suggested that the entire Jiankang City should be demolished, in his opinion, Jiankang has always been the center of Jiangdong. If Jiankang is razed to the ground, then it is equivalent to erasing the center of the Jiangdong clan. In this way, it was conducive to the conquest and domination of Koto. After all, this is what many dynasties have done in the past. After conquering those heroes, even their nests were destroyed.
However, Chen Kefu didn't think about this matter, and now he has too many things to consider. And this thing can only be regarded as a small thing, and it cannot be smaller. He somewhat understood the opinions of the generals and commanders of the DPRK and China, not so much that they could not get along with Jiankang City. It's better to say that their drunkards don't mean to drink, behind these proposals, in fact, they faintly point to the Emperor Chen Shen, who had just been rescued from Wu Jun, and the tens of thousands of 'royal family members'.
As soon as Chen Kefu came to the army, he basically had little to do with the Chen family. Until he ascended the throne and sat on the throne, he was almost alone. There are many children of the Chen clan, after all, it was once a family that sat in the world, and it was not purged much when the country was destroyed, so up to now, there are nearly 10,000 people in the Chen family.
It's just that he started the army. When he sat on the throne, these Chen children were still supporting his father and being the royal family of Nan Chen.
Now that Chen Shen and Emperor Chen have been 'rescued', they have landed in this huge clan and parachuted into the Chen Dynasty.
For the top and bottom of the court, this emperor and these members of the imperial family are a little tricky. The sudden appearance of these people will undoubtedly change the power structure of the Chen Dynasty in the DPRK and China. Even the appearance of Chen Shen will have an impact on the emperor.
After all, Chen Shen is the emperor's father, and that is the emperor. And those members of the royal family are not Chen Kefu's uncles and uncles. It's uncles, brothers, nephews, etc. Up to now, the Chen Dynasty has not officially canonized a king, and the few who were canonized before have basically either died or surrendered. …,
Even the emperor's son has not yet been crowned king, and now so many people who are said to be qualified to be crowned kings have suddenly appeared. And what to do?
On the surface, these things involve the royal family, and the relationship is the royal family. But in fact. With such a large number of people, it is equivalent to an additional group of people who divide power and grab power. Since entering Jiankang, some soldiers have reported that the soldiers stationed in the city have had disputes with those royal children.
The affairs are complicated, but Chen Kefu is a little out of the world.
After a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses, looking at the generals in the hall and the dozens of representatives of the royal family who suddenly appeared.
"So to speak"
A man in his fifties standing on the left side of the royal family spoke, and his voice was loud, "We have won the war, Your Majesty." Our Chen family has finally recovered Jiangdong again, it is really blessed by our ancestors! ”
This man is Chen Shuming, the sixth son of Chen Kefu's great-grandfather, Emperor Chen Xiaoxuan, and Chen Shuming, the sixth son of Emperor Chen Xiaoxuan, who is Chen Kefu's uncle. Chen Shuming and Chen Shuda were both reused in the Sui Dynasty after the fall of the Chen State, basically, in addition to Chen Shen, the Chen family now regards Shuming and Shuda as the elders of the sect.
Chen Shuda once worked for Li Yuan, but later abandoned the official and returned to Jiankang, and never asked about the world. The real person in charge of the Chen clan is this Chen Shuming, Chen Kefu also knows a little about this uncle, and he still respects him in his heart. The main reason is that when the Sui Dynasty was extinguished, the queen lord Shubao and the following all surrendered, but King Yueyang refused to surrender. When all his subordinate officials fled and surrendered, Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang, instead recruited troops and raised troops to resist the Sui.
At that time, Chen Shushen was even only eighteen years old, and was known as the last backbone of the Chen Dynasty. In the end, he was defeated and killed, but his two sons Zhigao and Zhisong were rescued and raised by Chen Shuming. Therefore, Chen Kefu also had a good impression of this uncle, and when he saw him talking at this time, he only smiled and nodded.
Chen Kefu turned his head to look at his father Chen Shen, who was sitting on the side of his dragon chair and was on the same level as him, this Emperor of Southern Chen was dressed in a dragon robe, and he didn't seem to care about the affairs of the court, squinting his eyes slightly as if he was not interested.
"Does the Emperor have anything to say?" Chen Kefu asked.
Chen Shen seemed to wake up suddenly, opened his eyes and looked at Chen Kefu, then looked at the ministers in the palace, and said, "I have nothing to say, everything is at the disposal of the emperor." I'm old, and I can't sit still. ”
Chen Kefu nodded, glanced at Hu Hai below, and said, "So, did Shen Luoyan still escape?" ”
Hu Hai stepped forward with some apprehension and saluted: "The minister was not effective in battle, and when Shen Luoyan saw the defeat, he abandoned his subordinates and horses, and led 8,000 light horsemen to flee alone. Although the last general and others pursued all the way and finally killed the 8,000 rebels, they did not find Shen Shun's body in the end. The last general asked for an order, willing to lead his troops to attack Jiujiang and Jiangxia again, and to capture Shen Shun in one fell swoop. ”
"No need. Chen Kefu shook his head, "This battle relied on the hard work of the generals and commanders, and finally annihilated the 300,000 rebels of the Shen family in one fell swoop, and leveled Jiangdong in one fell swoop." After this defeat, Shen Luoyan was no longer able to counterattack in several books, and the rest was just a remnant in Jiangxia. However, the most urgent thing we need most is not to exterminate Shen Yi. Our most urgent thing is to digest the nine counties of Jiangdong that have been recovered. Clearing out the remnants of the rebels and bandits in Jiangdong, pacifying the localities, resuming production, and arranging officials are all urgent tasks at the moment. ”
For Chen Kefu, this battle of Jiangdong was originally unplanned. Now that I have finally won this battle, this is the time to withdraw, and I can't fall into it anymore.
The real crisis of the Chen Dynasty is still in the north, and if the north is not peaceful and cannot defeat the Turks one day, then the 400,000 Turkic army will hang like a sword on its head.
Shen Luoyan has already been defeated, and there is no power to fight back at this time. What Chen Jun needed most now was the temporary stability of the south, so that the imperial court would have the energy to deal with the Turks with all its might. …,
After pondering for a while, Chen Kefu said loudly: "I have decided that from now on, Jiankang will be renamed Nanjing, and I will accompany the capital of Chen Nanfang. The counties around Nanjing and Nanjing are divided into Nanzhili Province, and Wu County, Huiji, Dongyang, Yongjia and other counties are divided into Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The nine counties of Jiangdong were divided into two provinces from then on, that is, Marshal Li Benlei was appointed as the governor of Nanjing and Nanzhili Province, and Marshal Qu Tutong was temporarily appointed as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
Hearing that the emperor had let the two marshals concurrently serve as governors of the two provinces, all the ministers in the palace were a little surprised. What level of people the two marshals were, especially Li Benlei, who was originally left behind in Luoyang. However, hearing this appointment, many generals have already guessed that this Jiangdong attack is estimated to be over temporarily.
Hu Hai and other generals also listened one by one, waiting for the emperor's treatment of them.
Sure enough, although Hu Hai and others have a lot of merit, they can cause a lot of trouble. In the end, although Hu Hai also made great contributions, but in the final review, he was convicted of unauthorized deployment of troops and horses, was fined Dai for three years, demoted to the rank of general from Sanpin Yunlu, and was removed from the post of governor of Jiangxi, and was demoted to the commander of the Wupin Heavenly Wolf Battalion.
This result shocked many people, and they originally thought that Hu Hai would offset his merits in the end, and he might even be promoted to a small level. But he didn't expect that the emperor was so strict externally, although he still had the rank of the third rank, but the actual position directly became the battalion commander of the fifth grade.
Hu Hai was demoted, Xu Shiji and Su Lie, his right and left hands, were also demoted, Xu Shiji was the commander of the White Tiger Battalion, and Su Lie was the commander of the Xuanwu Battalion. In addition, the newly surrendered Shan Xiongxin was given the rank of the champion general of the three grades and appointed as the commander of the Qinglong Battalion, and the surrendered Li Zitong was also appointed as the governor of Shandong. As for Li Chengyi, Li Chengli, Chen Shan, Chen Feng and others, they all added first-class titles.
The most surprising thing is Chen Kedi, the commander of the silver-armored imperial guard, who is only sixteen years old and a young guard general, but he was also crowned as a champion general, and he was suddenly promoted from a sixth-rank official to a third-grade rank. He was awarded the commander of the newly established Wolf Tooth Battalion and was named the Marquis of Yang.
As for the generals of the other ministries, basically all of them were rewarded, but after the long list of rewards was over, many people suddenly realized. It seems that although Hu Hai and the others were demoted, they all became the commanders of the 5,000 elite battalions. And like Li Chengyi and Chen Kedi, these people are the same, they were originally just high-quality governors with no real duties, but now they have become the commanders of the 5,000 elite battalions, and it is clear that they want to follow the emperor to the north.
The bright array is rising darkly, and it seems that the officials are getting smaller and smaller, but the scattered ranks have not changed, but they have become the commander of the elite battalion. All the generals understand that if they can lead an elite team to the north to participate in the war, after the war, the promotion will definitely not be low
