Chapter 192: Staking the Ground
The next day, when Ji Qingchen convened the generals in the king's tent again to discuss how to deal with the 800,000 Beirong tribes, the answers given to him by the generals were very simple, the boy must be killed if he exceeded the horse whip, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the other Beirong tribes could not care, but they could not be helped, they should be left to fend for themselves.
Ji Qingchen has no opinion on this answer. He didn't want to be a saint, and he could only kill this confidant for his children and grandchildren, and he would rather bear the infamy of a devil or demon king than leave a nightmare to the people of Dayan.
Therefore, as soon as the meeting of the king's tent was over, the whole royal court neighed and mourned!
Because a round of slaughter has begun!
There were 80,000 boys in the Beirong tribe, but more than 60,000 were more than horsewhips, and this round of slaughter did not end until the end of the evening. And Ji Qingchen sat with the generals in the king's tent for a whole day. Because although everyone thinks that it should be killed, when it is really used to slaughter, it is only when it is found that this decision is so distressing.
The executioner was Cao Yukun and his bandits, and the person who supervised it was Bai Xiangcheng. As Ji Qingchen's confidant generals, things like this can only be done by them. However, the two of them had no opinion on Ji Qingchen's arrangement.
After the execution was completed, everyone began to discuss how to ask the court for credit! In this regard, there must be not only knighthood and promotion, but also rewards in terms of gold, silver, and money. You can't be careless.
Because it's a big fight!
However, it was on this issue that there was a disagreement between Ji Qingchen, who has always been amiable, and everyone. This time, the army killed the Beirong royal court in one fell swoop, which was unexpected by everyone, and because Haoge ran too quickly, he didn't take too many things with him when he left, and the wealth accumulated by Beirong for decades was all left to Ji Qingchen and the Northern Liao army, and Ji Qingchen meant to reward half of the wealth accumulated by Beirong for decades to the soldiers of the whole army, of course, the reward is also determined according to the number of personal military exploits, so that even if it is half of the wealth, it can be more than 300,000 people. Each person can at least get about three hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to three hundred copper coins, which is a huge reward, and the annual cost of a family of four in Dayan is only about thirty yuan, and the remaining half of the wealth is divided into two parts again, one part is handed over to the imperial court, and the other part is left in Northern Liao. But when Ji Qingchen raised the issue of belonging a large piece of land in Beirong, there was a disagreement between them and Ji Qingchen.
According to Ji Qingchen's meaning, a large area of land in Beirong should be under the jurisdiction of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Office, because this is the credit of the more than 300,000 Northern Liao troops, and the institutional rights in Beirong's land are also owned by the Metropolitan Governor's Office. And Cheng Qianfan, Fang Wanqi, Xiang Ziyu and others believe that war exploits are war exploits, and land is land, and the two cannot be equated.
Moreover, it is a burden for them to attribute a large area of land in Beirong to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Northern Liao, because it means that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has to bear the livelihood problem of more than 700,000 old and weak women and children in Beirong, which is a bit more than worth the loss, because not to mention whether the Metropolitan Governor has so much money, even if he has, it cannot be spent on these more than 700,000 people, and most of the land returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has not yet been developed and is not suitable for farming.
However, on this issue, Ji Qingchen did not back down at all.
Because there is too much land suitable for cultivation in Beirong, the area is about the size of two northern capitals, and it would be a pity that such a large piece suitable for cultivation is not used by itself! Moreover, he also knew the importance of the land of the Dao to the soldiers who followed him, and he knew the determination between the last time the land of the land was acre and the reward of a few taels of silver. If he wants to completely control the more than 300,000 troops of Northern Liao, he can't carry out the land reward to the end.
Therefore, at the insistence of Ji Qingchen, the generals still agreed to his strategy.
This is the second plan that Ji Qingchen determined with everyone.
It is to reward the land to the soldiers in the Northern Liao army, and then reward the Beirong tribe to these soldiers as slaves with their military merits, and then let these slaves cultivate the land, and this land will be returned to the jurisdiction of the Dadu Governor, but the Dadu Governor's Office can no longer help the Beirong tribe.
The generals had no opinion on this compromise plan.
In this way, as soon as the reward plan was determined, a vigorous horse race unfolded in Beirong!
In the royal tent, Ji Qingchen and the generals discussed for three days and three nights, and only then did they determine the establishment of a large area of land in Beirong. The final result of everyone's determination was that the large land of Beirong was divided into Datong Prefecture and Shanzhou, the land of Datong Prefecture was divided into Long Xiang Cavalry and Mengli's Shangzhou Army and Fang Wanqi's Infantry Army, and Shanzhou was divided into Black Eagle Cavalry, Beirong Jingcai, Devil Cavalry and Ruishi Battalion, and Wang Ting was owned by Ji Qingchen and Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
In this way, the army stationed in the royal court began to rush to their own fiefdoms, and began to divide the land in an orderly manner according to their military exploits.
As for the manager of this piece of land, the initial intention of Meng Li and his Shangzhou army to take in, but this still needs to be confirmed by the imperial court, but Ji Qingchen set up the governor's palace in Beirong to manage Beirong affairs, and he decided to let Meng Li be the governor and Zhou Shun to be the deputy governor.
As soon as this series of orders was issued, the Northern Liao army went crazy.
Because they not only got more than 300 taels of silver, but also hundreds of acres of land, which they could never dream of in their lives, but they fell on their heads like this.
At this moment, the 330,000 troops stationed in Beirong shouted in unison Long live the king of Northern Liao, and the sound shook the sky.
The land belonging to the armies was divided, and the armies went to their own territories under the leadership of the main general to divide the land and slaves, and the royal court, which had been lively and noisy in the past, suddenly became a little deserted.
Now, except for the cavalry camp in the royal court, the army has left the royal court.
On this day, Ji Qingchen walked out of the big tent, rode to the annex of the royal court to check, and saw that the five hundred Xiao cavalry battalions were dividing their own land, they were all disciples of the clan, but the area of the royal court was large enough, and the number of Xiao cavalry camps was only five hundred, so no one had completely divided the three thousand acres, which also surprised them, and at the same time they were very happy, after all, this was their own military achievements, not the family's land.
In the afternoon, Ji Qingchen returned to the king's tent and saw that Liu Wen had returned. Seeing Ji Qingchen walking into the king's tent, Liu Wen just got up and bowed and sat down again.
"Mr. Burkee, how are things going this time?" Ji Qingchen walked to the main seat and sat down and asked, he still attaches great importance to this matter.
"It's been dealt with." Liu Wen said, but hesitated again, he continued, "It's just that last night the old man watched the sky at night and found that there was a sudden emperor rising in the sky above Beirong, I'm afraid that this tribe will rise again in twenty years!" ”
"This-" When Ji Qingchen said this, he suddenly thought of Xiao Yue'er, could it be her child? But he didn't say it after all, just said lightly, "We have already done what should be done, if Beirong rises again, then we have no choice, we can only come and cover the water and earth." ”
"Yes!" Liu Wen also nodded, said a few words politely to Ji Qingchen, and left the royal tent.
Liu Wen resigned the day after leaving the royal tent, and Ji Qingchen entered the customs and went to King's Landing. On the third day of Liu Wen's departure, Huang Taiji rode into the royal court alone.
On this day, Ji Qingchen had just come out of the king's tent and was basking in the sun in front of the tent, when he saw a horse step by step into the king's tent, and behind him was a hundred horsemen's battalion closely followed.
The elder Ji Qingchen saw at a glance that this was Huang Taiji.
But he didn't have time to talk to Huang Taiji, and the moment Huang Taiji rode in front of him, he suddenly planted the horse's back, and he planted the horse's back with a head, which was the head of Wang Wenhe, the Shaoqing of Dayan Honglu Temple. And the moment he saw Wang Wenhe's head, Ji Qingchen felt that his body was completely relaxed.
The next day, Huang Taiji woke up and told Ji Qingchen about the process of killing Wang Wenhe.
Since they left Liaozhou, three hundred people infiltrated Ningzhou, through the tactics of three battles and three victories, little by little consumed the combat effectiveness of the mission, to the third war, they were able to annihilate the Yulin cavalry in the mission in one fell swoop, and killed Wang Wenhe in one fell swoop, but at this time their actions also attracted the attention of the Ningzhou army, the Ningzhou army sent a thousand people to chase and intercept them, and it took him ten days to escape from Ningzhou, but he was the only one left around.
Huang Taiji spoke quietly, while Ji Qingchen listened quietly. After listening to Huang Taiji's story, Ji Qingchen walked out of the big tent without saying a word. In the afternoon, there was a reward to Huang Taiji's big tent, the content of the reward was because Huang Taiji fought bravely, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion specially rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 30,000 copper coins, and 30,000 acres of land, and all the 300 elite horsemen who died in Ningzhou with Huang Taiji were buried on monuments.
When Huang Taiji lay quietly on the sheepskin mattress and listened to this large string of rewards, he was stunned for a moment and immediately came back to his senses, ignoring the service of the maid, but tremblingly got up, knelt down in the direction of Ji Qingchen's tent, and said in a choked tone, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
Because Ji Qingchen's actions moved him! It's not that Ji Qingchen rewarded him with many things, but to erect a monument to his dead companions. This is what makes Huang Taiji shake. Because as long as the monument is erected, it means that the 300 soldiers who died in Ningzhou will become heroes, not unknown people who died on the battlefield.
After more than ten days, the armies that had gone to their own fiefdoms and lands returned to the royal court one after another. And on this day, the holy decree of the Dayan court also arrived at the royal court. The content of the holy decree is very simple, that is, he did not refuse all the conditions put forward by Ji Qingchen when he wrote to Emperor Yan. In addition to fully agreeing to Ji Qingchen's division and establishment of Beirong, he also agreed to Ji Qingchen's appointment of Meng Li as the governor and Zhou Shun as the deputy governor. At the same time, the holy decree requires the meritorious soldiers to return to the court and then give rewards. There is no one to agree on this. Therefore, as soon as the decree was recited, all the generals were excited.
At this time, Ji Qingchen also issued a military order for the class teacher six days later.
