Chapter 703: Dominating Jiangnan
In the early morning of the next day, in addition to giving Yu Wenhua and convicting, it was also necessary to support the new emperor, and finally everyone unanimously decided to support Yang Hao, the nephew of Emperor Yang of Sui, as the emperor.
Next is the reward of the meritorious man.
Wu Qizhe was directly named the king of Wu, the general of Shangda, and the power of the world's soldiers and horses.
Kou Zhong was directly promoted to general and governor of Yangzhou, and Xu Ziling was named hussar general, and Yangzhou was guarded.
Li Jing and Qin Shubao were respectively promoted to the generals of the left and right guards.
Both the Red Whisk Girl and Yun Yuzhen were rewarded, and Yun Yuzhen was named the commander of the naval army of the imperial court, and he was also an official position from Sanpin.
As for Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui, they were named female officials in the inner palace and commanded everything in the harem.
and the original Sui court officials were all promoted to one level, and they were all rewarded.
Yu Shiji also recommended his younger brother Yu Shinan to Wu Qizhe.
After the first battle, although the Whale Shark Gang disappeared, the core personnel of it have surpassed the court and become the people who shocked the whole world.
Three days later, the first challenge of the new emperor's accession to the throne was ushered in, Li Zitong led tens of thousands of thieves to Jiangdu, but before the army reached Jiangdu, their leader Li Zitong disappeared silently.
That's right, all of this was naturally assassinated by Wu Qizhe secretly, so Li Zitong's tens of thousands of troops can be said to have surrendered without a fight.
Taking advantage of this great victory, tens of thousands of troops took the opportunity to take the back and go straight to Liyang, the old nest of the Jianghuai army, and it was still Wu Qizhe who entered the city single-handedly and captured Du Fuwei, the leader of the Jianghuai army.
In order to save his life, he had to order the Jianghuai army to surrender to the imperial court, and once again surrendered nearly 200,000 Jianghuai troops without blood.
It's just that the good and bad in the Jianghuai army are uneven, so naturally they can't accept it all, and while strictly enforcing military orders, they must also eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, and add tens of thousands of Li Zitong rebels who have been surrendered, and suddenly get 100,000 strong men.
Wu Qizhe naturally did not practice in person, and arranged specific things to Li Jing, as a military god respected by later generations, he naturally took care of all this in an orderly manner.
It can be said that in just half a month, Wu Qizhe expanded his power to the north of Jianghuai, and the entire land south of the Yangtze River was also in his pocket.
Wu Qizhe continued to lead the army non-stop towards Lin Shihong's territory, and the place he passed was basically looking at the wind.
Because before the army attacked the city, the generals defending the city were either killed or captured, and in just ten days, Lin Shihong's territory was completely occupied, and the leader Lin Shihong was also executed.
The Sui army marched all the way south until it approached the land of the Song lords in Lingnan, and then stopped marching.
The rapid expansion of the entire Sui court's power is simply jaw-dropping, and Xiao Miao, who is encroaching on the land of Jingchu, is even more frightened, for fear that the imperial court army will kill his own territory when he wants.
The major forces in the north have also learned about the changes in the situation in the south through various channels in a short period of time.
What they know is that the Sui court is dominant, and the leader of all this is just a young man, who was only an unknown grass gang leader before, but in just one month, he controlled the entire imperial court, and occupied a large area of Jiangnan territory.
Wu Qizhe's reputation can be said to have spread all over the country for a while, and everyone knows about it, and Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and others who followed him also rose with the tide.
Wu Qizhe issued an eclectic recruitment order, and the world's wise men came one after another, although not to mention the talent of the heavens and latitudes, but it was more than enough for him to govern the land south of the Yangtze River.
And the most famous of these is the void line, with the talent of helping the world, it is best for him to govern the south of the Yangtze River, a place of waste waiting to be revived.
The army began to march towards the pseudo-Liang established by Xiao Milling for less than a month after only half a month, and also advanced to Baling, the capital of Liang, in just ten days.
Xiao Mo sent his sister Sister Xiao to make peace, but she didn't want to think about how Wu Qizhe would give up the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River and raise tigers because of a woman who had an overnight relationship with him.
Of course, he didn't send Sister Xiao back, but led her into the big tent to have a good time.
This time, Wu Qizhe did not enter the city to capture Emperor Xiao Milling of Liang, and all siege matters were under the full command of Li Jing, assisted by Kou Zhong.
Nearly 200,000 troops, under Li Jing's orderly offensive, broke through Baling in just five days, on the one hand, because of Li Jing's command ability, on the other hand, because Baling was already a lonely city, and the morale of the defenders in the city was low, so naturally it could not resist being broken by the army in a few days.
For the sake of Sister Xiao's face, Wu Qizhe will not kill the puppet emperor Xiao Miao, but it is indispensable to be sent to Jiangdu to be kept in captivity for a lifetime.
While searching Xiao Miao's palace, Kou Zhong obtained his destined sword, Jing Zhongyue.
After the overthrow of the puppet Liang regime, Wu Qizhe ordered the class to return to the dynasty, and since then, the power of the entire Sui court has not been recovered, except for the Lingnan land, which has not yet been recovered, it can be said that it has basically recovered to the territory of the Nanchen period.
Wu Qizhe left an army of 100,000 to be commanded by Qin Shubao, and at the same time guarded the land of Jingchu.
After a series of wars all over the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Qizhe's prestige can be said to have reached its peak in the Sui court in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in the army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is worshiped as a god.
Of course, he also knew that under the annexation of such a large territory, it would naturally take a period of recuperation to completely digest the occupied land, but fortunately, the land south of the Yangtze River was originally under the rule of the Sui court, although it was ruled by the rebel army in a short time, and now it is not difficult to accept it when it returns to the rule of the Sui court.
In addition, Wu Qizhe asked the imperial court to issue an edict to reduce and reduce taxes, open a warehouse and release his mother, and divide the land equally, it can be said that for a while, the voices of ordinary people singing praises to him were endless.
As for the Jiangnan clan who dared to question his decision, they all trembled under his bloody blade and did not dare to speak up.
After Wu Qizhe returned to Yangzhou, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the land south of the Yangtze River ruled by him could be described as calm and calm, without chaos, and the people began to recuperate and gradually recover their people's strength.
After properly arranging all the affairs of the imperial court, Wu Qizhe took Shuanglong and set foot on the road of the rivers and lakes again, after all, there was still a half-year appointment between Tuoba Yu and Chun Yuwei, and now nearly half of the time has passed.
In the harem, there are Li Qiushui, Wu Xingyun, and Ah Zi, and the three of them are under full control, and the power of the army is handed over to Li Jing, Yun Yuzhen, and the Red Whisk Girl, and the government affairs are handed over to Yu Shinan and Xu Xingzhi.
It can be said that the land south of the Yangtze River that is now ruled by the country is more prosperous than any other force in the world.
300,000 troops, 100,000 commanded by Qin Shubao in the land of Jingchu, nearly 150,000 troops in Jiangdu and Jianghuai are garrisoned, and there are also 50,000 troops in the hinterland of Jiangnan that can be mobilized.
In contrast, even the Wagang Army, the head of the world's righteous army, could not mobilize such a large-scale army for a while, and the power of the Sui court in Jiangnan became a behemoth that no force in the whole world dared to ignore in the blink of an eye.
Even Wang Shichong of Luoyang made it clear that he was controlled by the Jiangnan court.
