Within a few days, more than 8,000 monks were killed.

If it weren't for the news from Yushiba Shouren, Yushiba Shixu might have ordered the slaughter of all the monks in Fuso in a fit of rage.

Yushiba Shouren had already launched a sea-crossing attack on Fenghou at the same time when Yuchai Shixu crossed the sea, and at this time he had already captured Fengmae and was waiting to join Yuchai Shixu, and he had just learned that Yushiba Shixu was betrayed and ambushed.

When Yushiba Shixu heard that Bunzen and Bungo had been occupied, he changed his mind to return to Kyoto to settle accounts with Emperor Suzaku and decided to continue to sweep the Saikaido according to the plan.

The next day, the army crossed westward, and met with the headquarters of Yuchai Shouren in Fengqian, according to the original plan, the troops were divided into two routes, and captured Osumi.

……。

When Yelu Deguang, in the name of the Central Plains Co-Emperor, canonized Baili Wuji as the Khitan envoy of the Chu King of Liao, came to Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji ordered the guards to cut off the ears of the Khitan envoy, and asked him to bring a message to Yelu Deguang, and let Yelu Deguang wash his neck and wait for the king to cut it.

At this time, dozens of northern officials such as Emperor Fuhui of Mizhou of the Jin State and Wang Jian of Dizhou led the crowd to defect to the Chu State in order to avoid the Khitan. Baili Wuji appeased them one by one, or kept Jinling as an official, or sent to various places as officials.

And a more difficult dilemma awaits Baili Wuji.

Millions of refugees flocked to the city, the first to be Gangneung and Jinling.

Although the state of Chu has not encountered any natural disasters in the past few years.

However, the flow of refugees for two consecutive years has delayed the time for Baili Wuji to go north.

This time, there was no place left to colonize.

After discussing with everyone, Baili Wuji adopted the method of diverting refugees to resettle in the country.

Order the Black Flag Army to set up checkpoints at adjacent intersections and assemble a certain number of refugees. It is 3,000 for small counties and 5,000 for medium counties. Eight thousand people from large counties were escorted to various government offices and their fields were distributed. to be cultivated. According to the 200 counties in the territory, nearly one million people can be resettled.

If the number of refugees exceeds one million, they will gather together to build and widen five official roads from Jinling Mansion to Tanzhou Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Changle Mansion, Xingwang Mansion and Xingwang Mansion to Hangzhou Mansion, so that 100,000 refugees can be resettled. It took a long time to build, and then we will find a way to relocate.

In addition, Xuanzhou Dangtu County Iron Mine (Ma'anshan Iron Mine) and Daye Iron Mine each placed 10,000 people for mining.

But a month later. When the total number of refugees exceeded 1.2 million, nearly 80,000 people were sent to expand the two major ports of Quanzhou and Hangzhou in desperation.

When the total number of refugees exceeded 1.4 million, the state of Chu was exhausted and could only escort 200,000 people to Jiaozhou with the Black Flag Army, and ordered Pan Chongche to resettle.

Finally, the flow of refugees began to decay, and the state of Chu calmed down. But it was only a temporary lull, and the country suddenly spent an extra 1.2 million people, of which 200,000 were only temporarily resettled to build roads and expand ports, and once the construction was completed in the future. Another nuisance.

The wave of refugees also brought trouble to Shu, which did not properly resettle and did not formulate resettlement measures in advance. Like locusts crossing the border, refugees rushed all the way from Fengzhou and Xingzhou to more than a dozen counties. Turning the local people into refugees, they went all the way south. It wasn't until Lizhou that it was stopped by the Shu army that came and suffered heavy losses.

Baili Wuji did not dare to recruit troops to go to war at this time, and had just captured the two countries of Southern Tang and Wu Yue, the combined territory of these two countries was larger than the original Chu State, and it swallowed such a large land at once, and the Chu State needed time to digest them, and it took time to turn them into strength.

……。

Three months later.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, Hashiba Shixu and Hashiba Morihito returned to Kyoto in triumph.

He brought 90,000 Fusang troops and 8,000 cavalry, and when he returned, it had swelled to 150,000 troops and 8,000 cavalry.

He brought back thirteen thousand horses, and countless gold and silver.

At this time, except for the outlying islands of Tsushima, Oki, and Sado, all the Lingguo countries in Fuso were in the hands of Yuchai Shixu and had the same name - Yushiba Family.

Yuchai Shixu led a thousand cavalry to rush into the palace, drove away all the palace people, killed the officials when they saw them, and in just half an hour, the entire palace fell into the hands of Yuchai Shixu.

After that, Hashiba Shixu came to the emperor's palace with a sword, opened the door, and ordered the guards to wait outside.

I entered alone, and I saw Emperor Suzaku sitting cross-legged inside, his eyes closed.

Hashiba Shixu approached lightly, came to the Suzaku Emperor, also sat down cross-legged, placed the sword in front of him, and closed his eyes.

Neither of them spoke, and after a long time, Yuchai Shixu exhaled lightly, and bowed to Emperor Suzaku: "The minister has swept the west and south two sea roads, and has come to repay His Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Suzaku slowly opened his eyes and said, "The Imperial Minister has worked hard. ”

Yuchai Shixu said: "This is the duty of the minister. ”

Emperor Suzaku said, "What is the so-called matter when the Minister of the Imperial Politics comes in?" ”

Yuchai Shixu said: "The minister is for self-preservation. ”

Emperor Suzaku said, "Oh? Whoever dares to harm the Prime Minister, I will kill him for you. ”

Yuchai Shixu said: "It's His Majesty who wants to harm the ministers. ”

Emperor Suzaku said, "Why did the Minister of the Imperial Government say this, the god Amaterasu is above, how could I harm the Minister of the Imperial Minister?" ”

Yushiba Shixu didn't answer, took out the bean bag from his arms, and presented it to Emperor Suzaku with both hands.

Emperor Suzaku was stunned, took the bean bag, and stroked it carefully.

Over and over again, and over again.

After a long time, Emperor Suzaku raised his head and said, "The Imperial Minister came with a sword today, but he wants to kill me?" ”

Yuchai Shixu said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just wants to ask His Majesty to come down." ”

Emperor Suzaku sighed, "I understand, Minister Taizheng, please." ”

Yuchai Shixu said: "I respectfully ask Your Majesty to go on the road on your own, and the minister has retired." ”

was crawling step by step and exiting the lun, only to see Kangzi rushing out from inside.

"Please let your majesty go, please." Kangzi fell to the ground, raised his face and cried.

Yushiba Shixu looked at Yasuko with tears streaming down her face, he had never looked at her face so carefully as he did now.

This woman who doesn't like to pluck her eyebrows and dye her teeth, no, she should still be a child.

Yuchai Shixu's heart slowly softened. Without the bean bag she sent to remind me, I might have died on the Nagato Sea.

"Your Highness Kangzi, please get up, this matter has nothing to do with you." Yuchai Shixu wanted to step forward and help Kangzi up.

"But His Majesty is Yasuko's father." Kangzi refused to give up.

Yuchai Shixu was helpless, let out a sigh of relief, raised his head and said: "That's it, it's up to you to send the bean bag." ”

Bowing to Emperor Suzaku, Yuchai Shixu said: "The minister asks His Majesty to hand over the seal, and all matters in the country are handled by the ministers for His Majesty, and His Majesty is invited to enjoy happiness in the palace." ”

Emperor Suzaku raised his head and sighed, "I am dependent on you. (To be continued......)
