The people of Shu are known as the country of abundance, and they have always been rich in products. In addition, in the past 40 years, although the Meng father and son have not made significant achievements in governing Shu, they have always been calm and stable, and they are not as war-torn as the Central Plains. At this time, the Shu land can be called rich in things and people, and the life of the gentry and the common people is not only far richer than that of the Central Plains, but also surpasses the Jinghu and Southern Tang (Jiangnan) regions, which are also less war-torn and chaotic, and even compared with the 16 states of Youyun that have not been major in the decades before the Youyun War and have been painstakingly operated by the "Qingyuan" brothers for many years. Therefore, in the nearly two months when the army of Fashu stopped in Chengdu and waited for the will of the imperial court, whether it was Tang Chao, Cheng Fei, or Mutel and Xin Feiyu, they all attached great importance to military discipline. Not only are the subordinate departments required to restrain the soldiers and generals under their control, strictly enforce military discipline, and are not allowed to enter and leave the barracks at will without permission. Moreover, in accordance with Wang Kunjun's practice in Jinling City, a number of military discipline rectification action teams were organized to inspect the city of Chengdu and the surrounding villages and towns, and severely punished those Zhou army generals and Shu army stragglers who broke military discipline and committed crimes, and never tolerated them.

In particular, after several recruits of the "Security Army" were forced to buy goods from merchants at low prices and were punished on the spot by the military discipline rectification action team, the nearly 100,000-strong army of Shu did not have a single case of violating military discipline during the two months that they were stationed in Chengdu. And it was only at this time that Tang Chao, Cheng Fei and other leading commanders slowly let go of their hanging hearts, and breathed a sigh of relief, after all, in the previous life, the Song army only took two months to capture Chengdu, but because the soldiers and generals forcibly grabbed, extorted, and plundered, which caused mutiny and civil unrest, they had to spend nearly two years to quell the lessons of the riot They had heard the seventh brother Zhang Weixin tell in detail, and the four brothers were not willing to repeat the mistakes of the Song army in the previous life, so that that scene would be repeated in this time and space.

At the same time, Tang Chao also ordered Meng Chang to personally write a handwritten edict, sending multiple envoys to the military states in the west and south of Shudi, ordering his commanders to change their flags and banners, and to come to Chengdu to surrender.

On the eighteenth day of the fifth lunar month of Jianlong, Meng Renzhen, who went to Kaifeng to ask for sin, returned to Chengdu, and the envoy who came with him brought the will of the imperial court:

First, he ordered Meng Chang and a group of civil servants and military generals of the Houshu court to immediately leave for Beijing and ask the monarch for their guilt;

Second, he ordered Mutel and Xin Feiyu to lead the main force of the Shu army to escort the Hou Shu monarchs and ministers back to Beijing;

Third, change Shu to Sichuan Province, with Tang Chao as the right to pacify the Sichuan Province, Cheng Fei as the deputy envoy to the Sichuan Province to pacify the system, and lead 30,000 troops (the "Flying Dragon Army" five divisions and thirteen regiments, one cavalry, one artillery, one Jiangfang First Fleet, and eight regiments of the Security Army) stationed in Chengdu, and the prime minister Sichuan Province should respond to military and civilian affairs;

Fourth, the amnesty of Sichuan Province, the government, military, prefecture, and county under its jurisdiction are exempted from the tax of the current year (Mianzhou is exempted from the tax for two years with the surrounding states and counties that have been burned and destroyed grain), and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes levied by the Shu puppet court before and after have been verified are all exempted, and the grain is released in the warehouse, and the people who have no food and clothing due to the war are relieved;

Fifth, the edict was issued to the prefectures and counties in the west and south of Sichuan, ordering their officials to abide by their duties and abide by their duties, and to maintain order and stability under their rule and the people to live in peace.

As an edict to appease the newly occupied land, the edict brought by the imperial envoy who accompanied Meng Renzhen back to Shu was basically the same as the previous appeasement decree issued to Jinghu, Southern Tang (Jiangnan) and other places, the only difference was that Tang Chao and Cheng Fei, the two prime ministers, Sichuan Daoyi, were in charge of military and civilian affairs. Previously, whether it was the appointment of Qian Yuanshan as the pacification envoy of Hunan Province or the appointment of Zeng Zhilin as the pacification envoy of Jiangxi Province, it was a substantial seal, and there was nothing imaginary. However, this time, the appointment of Tang Chao and Cheng Fei was preceded by the word "power", which means acting and temporarily doing so. As far as the power in hand is concerned, there is not much difference between adding the word "power" and not adding it. But with the word "right", it will give people a feeling of instability and unsteadiness, and the recipient will feel that he has no bottom in his heart, and he will feel that the black veil on his head is not strong and stable, and he may fall off or be taken off by someone when he can't do things honestly.

However, Tang Chao and Cheng Fei, who are the parties, do not care about the word "right". On the one hand, both of them are important ministers of the imperial court, and they both carry actual military positions and the title of Founding Earl, and it doesn't matter whether they have the title of the chief and deputy envoy of Sichuan Dao to pacify them, it will not affect their status in the crossing team, nor will it weaken their existing authority. On the other hand, along with the decree of the Later Zhou court, there was also an explanatory letter from the committee, which gave a clear explanation and detailed explanation of the appointment of the two people as the chief and deputy envoys of the Sichuan Province to pacify the system, which was also enough to dispel the misunderstanding and dissatisfaction that the two people might have about this appointment.

In fact, the reason why Tang Chao and Cheng Fei were appointed as the chief and deputy envoys of the Sichuan Province was not that they were dissatisfied with their appearances, let alone that they intended to suppress them, but that the team committee started from the current Later Zhou Dynasty and the world, and at the same time, taking into account the needs of governing the country in the future, it was decided to carry out a large-scale adjustment of the local administrative levels and institutions in the entire Later Zhou court that actually controlled the area after the pacification of Shu, so as to adapt to the larger and larger territory and the growing population. Moreover, the relevant adjustment plan has been promulgated and will be promulgated and implemented in the near future. In other words, Tang Chao and Cheng Fei's official positions as the chief and deputy envoys of the Sichuan Provincial Pacification System will not take much time to change significantly. In this case, the addition of the word "power" to the front of their official posts is also for the sake of facilitating the reappointment of new officials in the future.

Of course, considering that the large-scale adjustment of the local administrative hierarchy in the entire area actually controlled by the Later Zhou Dynasty was very wide-ranging, and that Sichuan Province was a newly occupied territory, it would take a certain amount of time to digest and absorb it. Therefore, despite the many discussions, arguments, and opinions and suggestions of a large number of local officials, including those of the imperial court and the local government, the Committee and the relevant functional departments have come up with a plan for the reform and adjustment of the local administrative structure, and have already deliberated on it at the enlarged meeting of the committee. However, it became an official document and was promulgated and implemented by the Later Zhou court, but it was postponed until the tenth lunar month of the fifth year of Jianlong, when Shu was completely settled and there was no hidden danger of chaos.

The release of the reform and adjustment plan for the local administrative organs can be postponed, but the Houshu monarchs and ministers, who are guilty of crimes, do not dare to delay in the slightest on the way to Beijing. On the sixteenth day of the fifth lunar month of the fifth year of Jianlong, Meng Chang, Meng Chang's brothers and nephews, the former important ministers of the Later Shu court, and the goods loaded by hundreds of carts from the treasury of the Later Shu court and the inner treasury of the Chengdu Imperial Palace, arrived outside Kaifeng City under the escort of the main force of the Shu army led by Xin Feiyu and Muter. As a representative of the Later Zhou Dynasty court and the crossing team, the founding marquis, the school inspector, Tongping Zhangshi, the golden purple Guanglu doctor, and the left attendant Zhang Weixin went to greet him closely, and held a banquet in Yujin Garden on the outskirts of the city to entertain Meng Chang and his party.

On the morning of the next day, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Shu army lined up neatly outside the imperial city of Kaifeng. Meng Chang, who was "escorted" to Beijing by them, and his brother Meng Renzhen, his son Meng Xuanzhe, Meng Xuanxuan, and Prime Minister Li Hao, and other 33 people went to Mingde Gate to be punished. Chai Zongxun issued an order to pardon Hou Shu and others, gave Meng Chang clothes, crowns and belts, and summoned these thirty-three people in Chongyuan Hall together with Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin, Xu Shaoan and other powerful ministers.

Subsequently, Chai Zongxun, accompanied by Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin, Xu Shaoan and others, re-ascended the Mingde Tower, inspected the representatives of the Shu army outside the imperial city, and issued an order to reward all the Zhou soldiers who participated in the Shu expedition, and give additional awards to those who have made meritorious contributions.

Three days later, on the 20th day of the fifth lunar month of Jianlong, the Later Zhou court issued an edict to take Meng Chang as the opening of the palace and the three divisions, the inspection of the school Taishi and the Zhongshu Order, and the Duke of Qin; Meng Chang's eldest son Meng Xuanzhe was the envoy of Taining Jiedu, and the second son Meng Xuanzhe was the general of Zuo Qianniuwei; Meng Chang's younger brother Meng Renzhen is the commander of the right Shenwu army, Meng Renyu is the general of the right prison guard, and Meng Rencao is the general of the left prison guard; With Li Hao as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; Take the Yi trial as the envoy of the quiet and difficult moderation; With Ouyang Jiong as the right scattered horseman.
