The matter of Hunan Sikou soon came to an end.

In this matter, the Yue family's army exerted the most strength, but the harvest was not much, because the largest peach had been easily picked by Han Shizhong.

Even so, after all, people are doing it, and the sky is watching.

Yue Fei's actions were appreciated by many officials in the imperial court. These officials were moved by Yue Fei and tried their best to help Yue Fei in their posts.

The first person who was moved by Yue Fei was our Han Po Wu Han handsome.

Generally speaking, picking the fruit of people is a shameful act, especially between officers and soldiers of similar strength; And Yue Fei not only did not have any complaints about Han Shizhong's fruit-picking behavior this time, but also took the initiative to withdraw from the army, so that Han Shizhong could expand his organization in Hunan.

After this incident, the name Yue Fei began to stay in Han Shizhong's heart, and when it came to a critical time, most of the first people to come out to help Yue Fei speak were Han Shizhong.

Even at the end of the storm, it was Han Shizhong who questioned Prime Minister Qin Hui and forced Qin Hui to say the words "unwarranted".

The first person to offer Yue Fei a helping hand was Li Hui, the ambassador of Jiangnan West Road.

This Li Hui had previously thought that Yue Fei's troops were not enough to destroy Cao Cheng, and suggested to the imperial court that Han Shizhong should send troops to Hunan to help, but Yue Fei's later performance completely negated Li Hui's suggestion.

It stands to reason that Li Hui was just slapped in the face by Yue Fei, so he shouldn't have helped Yue Fei.

However, Li Hui was a true Confucian student, believing in the six virtues and adhering to the six elements; The better Yue Fei did, the more Li Hui admired Yue Fei. Give Yue's army as much assistance as possible.

For a variety of reasons. Yue's army's food and salary have not been subsidized by the imperial court. So. When the Yuejia army returned from suppressing the bandits, Li Hui used the power in his hands to garrison the Yuejia army in Jiangzhou, Yunzhou, Linjiang Army, and Xingguo Army, and helped Yue Fei solve part of the military expenses.

Then, Li Hui asked his good friend Zhao Ding to play for the imperial court, asking the imperial court to allocate grain and grass to Yue's army.

There is such a fold in the first volume of the "Zhongzheng German Anthology":

"His Yue Fei's army has a monthly payment of more than 123,000 yuan and more than 14,500 stones. It's a huge number. Today, the Mongolian court sent 10,000 Yue Fei's soldiers to Jiangzhou to station. Yue Fei only sent 5,000 people to go, and he didn't dare to set out all of them. On the day when the army was in Pitunbo last year, there was a shortage of money and food, and the transshipment department should not continue to be deputy, and there was a mistake in pointing it out. To the army to kill horses, cut hair, sell wives and children, Bo Yi Mi Hu, almost cause trouble. ”

This Zhao Ding is really powerful, and he actually killed the horse. Words such as cutting hair, selling wives, and children are used.

Regardless of the degree of truth of what Zhao Ding said, anyway, Zhao Ding's report was not long in coming. The imperial court sent a messenger named Zheng Zhuang to Jiangzhou and other places to reward the Yue family's army.

Since then, the food and salary of the Yue family army have been included in the scope of direct allocation by the imperial court

In addition to escorting the grain over, Zheng Zhuang also brought a holy decree to Yue Fei and let Yue Fei enter the palace to face the saint.

Entering the palace to face the saint is of course the honor of every foreign military general, but it frightened the local parents and officials. The reason is very simple, Yue Fei is not here, who will suppress the thieves around?

As a result, the official department member Wailang, the right to supervise the imperial history, and the Jiangnan East and West Road proclamations made Liu Dazhong give an urgent recital to the imperial court.

"Records of the Year since the Establishment of Yan" Volume 63: Yesterday, Yue Fei raised troops in Hongzhou, and it was said that (Yue Feijun) was disciplined, and people thought they were safe. Now the thieves have not stopped, and if they fly away, the people will be uneasy, and the farming work will be lost. Desire to send soldiers to come quickly, so that thieves do not grow.

The meaning of this piece is that if the Yue family army is stationed, they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and they will not be bothered by thieves. Now that the thieves have not all been exterminated, if Yue Fei is ordered to go to the line, then the people will feel uneasy, and the people are worried all day long about whether they will be harmed by the thieves......

This Liu Dazhong is also an upright person, he also copied this recital, sent someone to send it to Yue Fei, and begged Yue Jiajun not to leave in a hurry and wait for further arrangements from the imperial court.

It stands to reason that Liu Dazhong is a bad person's evil deeds, which will arouse the disgust of the generals; But Yue Fei actually accepted Liu Dazhong's opinion and did not leave to meet the emperor.

What can make Liu Dazhong so anxious is naturally not an ordinary thief.

At the beginning of the third year of Shaoxing, Li Zongliang and Zhang Shi gathered more than 10,000 people in Yunzhou to gather to make trouble, confront the government, burn, kill and loot.

In Qianzhou and Jizhou, with Peng You, Li Dongtian, Chen Yan, Luo Xian and other ten kings, "tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 500 villages", the momentum is getting bigger and bigger, bringing great pressure to the neighboring state capitals.

In March of the third year of Shaoxing, the thief armies of Qian and Ji Prefecture even invaded Kouxun, Mei, Guang, Hui, Yingshao, Nanxiong, Nan'an, Jianchang, Ting, Chao, and Shaowu counties by different routes.

And so on and so forth.

Liu Dazhong's recital was echoed by many local officials, who went to the imperial court one after another, asking for an edict to let Yue Fei go to round up and suppress the bandits.

Jiangxi's pacification ambassador Li Hui first wrote to explain the current situation of Peng You and others, and wanted Yue Fei to specialize in killing the thieves, and told him to leave other things alone, just destroy this gang of robbers.

Wen Yanming of Wuzhou said that thieves were rampant in Guangdong, and hoped to send Yue Fei to arrest him.

Xue Weiyan, the Hunan envoy, and Liu Dazhong, the Jiangnan East and West Road envoy, asked Emperor Gaozong to send Yue Fei to hunt down the thieves in a similar situation......

Among these local leaders, the two Guang proclamations made Mingqi's recital the simplest and most direct.

Volume 5 of "Eguo Jin Tuo Cui Edition": The pious thief is the second wide trouble. The theory of things in the south is all said that Yue Fei's department is the most clean, and it is not disturbed. If the imperial court is merciful to the distant people and sends Yue Fei's army to come, it will not only eliminate the group of thieves; And even if you recruit rebels, such as Liu Zelkova, you can also put them in the team, discipline them, and use them.

The reason why these local officials recommended Yue Fei in unison was because the Yue family's army had strict military discipline, did not disturb the people, and did not disrupt the local social order.

If other generals were exchanged for suppressing bandits, such as Liu Guangshi's generation, the bandits would be eliminated. But the thief went to the empty city. Only a mess remains. How can these local officials accept.

The reason why Yue Fei was able to win the love of the people and be loved for centuries was not because of his strong martial arts, but because of Yue Fei's noble character of loving the country and the people.

The vigorous promotion of Yue Fei by these local officials is just the beginning

Of course, the Southern Song Dynasty court knew that this was also an important matter involving the tax revenue of the imperial court.

As a result, Emperor Gaozong complied with the will of the people. It was ordered that Yue Fei be specifically responsible for clearing out bandits in various places, and Yue Fei's military expenses were to be borne by the imperial court and the three Caochen in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan.

"Eguo Jin Tuo Cui Edition" Volume 1. Gaozong Chenhan III: I have been personally with the ministers of Zhulu Cao, and I should be the deputy secretary of the army, horses, money and food, and sit on the crime of degrading the outside of the mountains. When the secretary is the country, he quickly leads the elite men and horses to go, and he must be arrested quietly, so that there is no breeding, and the crime will be returned. It still has the time of departure and the place where it goes along the road

Letting the Yue family army clean up these thieves is undoubtedly using a knife to kill chickens. Send a lion to fight a rabbit.

It only took more than half a year for Yue Fei to suppress the bandits and bandits in the Jiangnan area. The law and order in the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty was renewed, the thieves were quiet, and the people began to live and work in peace and contentment again.

The combat effectiveness of the Yue family army is far from that of these bandits, and the process of suppressing the bandits is also no danger or danger, and there is no technical content at all.

The only thing that needs to be explained is that there is some controversy in the military about how to deal with those who are captured.

Some generals thought that the thieves were not convincing enough, and that it was better to kill them, so as not to cause rebellion in the future; Yue Fei shook his head, and then said:

"Although these people are thieves, most of them are not willing to steal, they are forced by life, and it is not good to kill them. What's more, the emperor's original intention was to pardon these thieves, and if we kill them all now, how can we fulfill the emperor's virtues? ”

The generals listened, what else could they say besides appreciating the marshal?

In the end, the practice of the Yue family army was to send the bandit leaders to the local government to deal with them, and those who had martial arts were incorporated into the Yue family army, and the others were allowed to retreat to the countryside and engage in agricultural production.

Yue Fei's compassion made the captured thieves overjoyed, especially the bandits in Qian and Ji Prefectures, most of whom were locals; was captured by Yue Fei's army, and he thought he would die, but in the end he was able to escape.

As a result, in the original places where the bandits were infested, not only the ordinary people were grateful to Yue Fei, but even the relatives of those thieves were also grateful to Yue Fei.

Just like the people of Yixing County, they enshrined Yue Fei's portrait in the house and worshiped day and night to repay Yue Fei's kindness.

"The Continuation of the Golden Tuo of the Hubei Kingdom" Volume 28: The south of the ancient lake, the west of the river, the image of the house, the king is like a life. On the day of the day, the monk of the golden rice is in the Brahman's house, and it is normal. Although the calamity of the ministers is more powerful, it will not change

Yue Fei succeeded in suppressing the bandits, and in addition to being promoted, he also received a special honor - Emperor Gaozong finally officially summoned Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun.

Obviously, the emperor also attached great importance to this summons.

First of all, before Yue Fei set off, a royal gift was delivered over a long distance: it was a set of golden banana wine vessels.

Although the thing is small, it is rich in connotation, because the same gift was also given to Han Shizhong.

During the meeting, the emperor was cordial and easy-going, recalling that in the past, he advised Yue Fei like a friend not to drink, it would hurt his body and make mistakes, especially when he punched his colleague unconscious at the wine table, which was really not conducive to unity. Yue Fei promised that he would not drink from now on.

Gaozong gave Yue Fei a lot of good things, such as armor, horse armor, bows and arrows, gold-threaded battle robes, gold belts, hand knives, silver-wrapped spears, seaskin saddles, and so on. According to the usual practice, after halving these things, Yue Yun was also given a copy.

In addition, there is a flag embroidered with four big characters - "Jingzhong Yue Fei." ”

A few days later, the greatest benefit of the meeting came. This is the custom, the real promotion will be announced after the emperor receives him, and the previous one is only a small step, which is just a cold dish before the feast begins.

Yue Fei was promoted to the envoy of the Zhennan Army, the envoy of Jiangnan West Lushu, and the envoy of Qizhou, and was stationed in Jiangzhou.

In addition to Yue Fei's existing troops, the troops of Fu Xuan in Jiangzhou, the military horses under the jurisdiction of the Jiangxi pacification envoy, and the garrisons of Shuqi in Jiangbei were all under Yue Fei's jurisdiction.

Yue Fei's defense area was alongside Wang Xie, who was stationed in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi in the lower reaches, forming four major towns.

From this time on, Yue Jiajun officially appeared in front of the world under his own name...... (To be continued......)
