Chapter 67: The Tactics of Pacification
The third day of February.
Edict of the King of Chu.
The former Chu State Jingbian commander made the Xizhou assassin Shi Peng Shichou rebel several times, and he did not change his teachings, which was tolerable, which was unbearable, and he was sentenced to be decided.
The king of Chu is in the heart of heaven and does not pursue the rest of the accomplices. Ren Peng Shigao is the history of Xizhou Thorn.
Ren Tian Hongbin is the history of Jinzhou Thorn.
Ren Qin Xingfang is the history of Yizhou Thorn.
Ren Xiang is a prize for the history of the state thorn.
Ren Luo Junfu is the assassin of Xuzhou.
The five prefectures must all be relocated to the land adjacent to the Chu realm to facilitate the control of life. Each state has political and financial powers, but no military power, and soldiers cannot be conscripted without the permission of the king of Chu.
Liu Qing was ordered to leave 500 forbidden troops, and the rest of the forbidden troops returned to Shitanzhou.
At the same time, Wang Kui was appointed as the commander of Jingbian, with 500 forbidden troops as the backbone, and recruited local civilians to form 5,000 Black Flag Army to guard Xizhou.
Since then, more than 20 savage places in Shang, Zhong, Xiaxizhou, Baojing, Yongshun, Longci, Tianci, Jin, Prize, Yi, Yuan, An, Xin, Qia, Nan, Fu, Ning, Lai, Shun, Gao, Zhongshun, and Ganhua began to fall into mutual suspicion and often civil strife, but they no longer posed a threat to the Chu State and were truly incorporated into the territory of the Chu State.
The fifth day of February.
Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng led the two ways to quell the rebellion and the forbidden army and returned to Shitanzhou.
In the palace of the king of Chu, Baili Wuji held a banquet to entertain the two triumphant generals of the Chu army, and five governors accompanied him.
After the three rounds of drinking, they were all hearty.
At this time, Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng got up and said to Baili Wuji.
"King, when the ministers exterminate the rebels of Ma Xicao and Ma Xisheng, ...... by the way."
Say. The marchers speak softly. ”
"Yes. When a certain exterminated Ma Xicao and Ma Xisheng rebels, he raided the homes of a group of people by the way. ”
Baili Wuji was stunned when he heard it, he didn't have the order to raid the house. Only then did he realize that these two people made their own opinions, and Baili Wuji hated the army for looting privately, although they were traitors, they should not have done it without an order. I was a little angry in my heart, but after all, the two generals had a meritorious role in quelling the chaos, and it was inconvenient to have an attack at the banquet.
Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng saw that Baili Wuji's face was a little worried, and they were worried, and they looked at the five governors who accompanied the banquet for help.
"It was a happy thing, the two generals sent troops twice to quell the chaos, and they returned to the division to rescue Tanzhou, which made great contributions. But the matter of arson and looting is indeed something that the lord hates, but fortunately, the plundered are all traitors, which is still reasonable, and the two generals will remember it in the future. Xu Shiming got up and said.
Sun Guangxian also got up and said: "King, the two generals have worked hard and made great achievements, and there are some small mistakes that the king scolds, don't be angry." ”
Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian sang and harmonized, stunned to characterize the nature of the matter as a flaw and a small mistake, Baili Wuji was helpless, and he didn't want to make it big, and he was sad about the hearts of the soldiers below.
"Two generals, did the raid hurt the surrounding people?"
"Returning to the king, the ministers will guarantee with their heads, and there will be no harm to the surrounding people, even if they want to, the soldiers may not be willing, the forbidden army is the king's descendant." Liu Yan knew that this matter could be big or small, and hurriedly explained.
"So and so." Zhou Xingfeng hurriedly interjected.
"This matter ends here, if this king finds out that you have not ordered and have raided and looted without permission, it will not be spared."
"King Xie, keep in mind."
Seeing that Baili Wuji was no longer pursuing it, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sat down, not wanting Xu Shiming to get up again.
"The two generals are slow, the Black Flag Army rules, but if there is any capture, it should go to the treasury, oh, now it is the treasury. I don't know where the capture of the two generals is now? ”
Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng were shocked, and hurriedly confessed to Baili Wuji first.
"The seizures of a certain were sealed in the barracks, and not a single penny was used privately. I wanted to deport again tomorrow, but I asked the king to take a clear look. ”
Zhou Xingfeng also said.
Baili Wuji waved his hand and said to Xu Shiming: "Sir, don't pursue this matter anymore, this seizure will be ......." ”
Xu Shiming kept squeezing his eyebrows, Baili Wuji was shocked, and he unconsciously stopped talking.
Baili Wuji originally thought that the forbidden army under the jurisdiction of the two of them really contributed a lot, since the stick had already been intimidated, and now giving some sweet dates also made the soldiers happy, but seeing Xu Shiming's urgent appearance, is there another hidden reason?
Xu Shiming saw that Baili Wuji finally stopped talking, took a light breath, turned around and asked, "Two generals, how many have they captured?" ”
Liu Yan said to Baili Wuji: "King, a certain person confiscated more than 35,000 taels of silver, more than 1,800 taels of gold, and countless jewels and jade from the homes of Ma Xicao, Ma Xisheng and other cadres. All of them were sealed in the barracks, and the king was asked to send someone to count them. ”
Zhou Xingfeng said to Baili Wuji: "King, a certain person confiscated more than 50,000 taels of silver, more than 7,000 taels of gold, and countless jewels and jade from the homes of Ma Xichong, Ma Xineng, Ma Xiyin, Wu Hong and other cadres. All of them were sealed in the barracks, and the king was asked to send someone to count them. ”
"Uh......."
Even if the king of Chu was a hundred miles away, he was a little stunned by this number.
If nothing else, the sum of these silvers will almost be able to pay the Chu army a year's military salary. Not to mention gold, jewelry, and jade.
This is just the five brothers of the Ma family, the original Chu Jie envoys, and the likes of the assassin history.
Baili Wuji looked at Xu Shiming. The old slippery head is proud.
"What do you think, sir, about what to do with these seizures?"
"I think that the soldiers of the forbidden army have meritorious service in battle, and they will be rewarded by the king. As for the seizures, they should all be handed over to the state treasury. In this way, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army can be convinced. ”
"It's ....... If the gentleman has a point, then turn it in. However, in view of the merits of the soldiers of the forbidden army, a certain decision was made to take one percent of the silver they seized and reward the soldiers of the forbidden army with an additional reward, what do you think? ”
"King Xie." Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng hurriedly thanked them.
Xu Shiming was heartbroken, and he didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive.
In fact, Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng didn't think so in their hearts, when the two of them were under Ma Xifan, if they encountered this kind of seizure, they would have swallowed up the private division a long time ago, and it would be good to be able to hand over Sancheng to make a show, this time it was not that they didn't dare, but the adjutants in the forbidden army did not cooperate, it should be said that they were very uncooperative. Because these adjutants are from the former Black Flag Army, the military regulations are like iron.
……。
Last year's battle of the Southern Expedition and the defense of Tanzhou have always been a pain in Baili Wuji's heart.
Baili Wuji has been reflecting.
The main reason for the failure of the Southern Expedition was civil strife, which was rooted in the haste with which Baili Wuji launched the war.
If it had been a year later, maybe the situation would have been different.
And when civil strife occurs, Ruobaili Wuji can keenly feel the conspiracy behind it.
Instead of sending the forbidden army to quell the chaos, but withdrawing the middle of the southern expeditionary army back to Chu to quell the chaos, the same effect of quelling the chaos can be achieved, and the southern expedition plan will not fail, at most it will only delay a little time.
The generals in the Black Flag Army and the Forbidden Army also had a number of shortcomings.
At present, the main generals of the Black Flag Army are all from the Black Flag Guard.
Brave enough, but also have a firm belief in winning.
He also has a strategy.
