Chapter 408: Appeasement
Yi Han looked at Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, got up and looked at the flowers she brought, "Where did this come from?" ”
"It was sent by Mrs. Su, and she said that the county lord likes plum blossoms, so she specially asked someone to cut it and send it."
Lin Qingwan bowed her head and ordered: "Give me the flowers, Yi Han is awake, you go and invite the doctor." ”
The wound on Yi Han's back has healed a lot, and the wound has begun to scab over, basically as long as he wakes up, there will be no more danger.
The doctor checked his pulse, changed the prescription, and said with a smile: "The rest is recuperation, as long as the wound does not become inflamed, it will be fine." ”
Lin Qingwan nodded, took the prescription and glanced at it and handed it to Lin An.
She looked at Yi Han and said, "I'll be relieved when you wake up, and you can take care of your injuries during this time." ”
Yi Han frowned, "Does Grandma have something to do?" ”
"Yunzhou is also about to be captured, and it won't be long before the Liao State will send troops back to attack, so I have to go to Youzhou and the Liao State to deliver the letter of state," Lin Qingwan said: "The peace talks have to continue, and it may take several months to go." ”
Yi Han's face changed.
Lin Qingwan advised: "I told Lin An that you have to rest for at least twenty days, so you don't go out during this time." ”
Lin Qingwan smiled: "If you get sick, I won't use you anymore." ”
Yi Han didn't think Lin Qingwan was joking, she had always done what she said, if he went to Youzhou rashly and disobediently, she might really stop using him.
Yi Han took a deep breath and lowered his head.
Lin Qingwan got up and said, "Then you take care of your injuries, maybe the Liao Kingdom will move slower, and you can still catch up with this peace talk event." ”
"How sure are you of talking to Aunt Tan now?"
"Eighty percent."
Yi Han breathed a sigh of relief, this certainty was very great, like Xu Lian, he felt that there was only a thirty percent chance that she could persuade Wen Dihan, this time there was eighty percent, and the matter of peace talks should be eight or nine.
Su Zhang camped in Youzhou, this time Lin Qingwan and Xu Lian went over with a group of generals, set off in the morning, and arrived in the evening.
Xiao Shi is still serving Lin Qingwan closely, she is now free, but because Jiang San wants to follow Lin Qingwan, she also stays with her, although she has not signed a deed of sale, she has always called herself a slave.
Lin Qingwan didn't stop her, and as soon as the two of them put down their things, the guards came back and forth, "County Lord, General Xu and General Su please come over." ”
The guard said happily: "People from Yunzhou said that the whole territory had been captured, and all the Liao soldiers had retreated outside Yunzhou. ”
Lin Qingwan was pleasantly surprised, "So fast? ”
"Yes, so the generals ask you to come over and discuss the matter."
Lin Qingwan hurriedly went to the main account.
General Xu was ordering the entire territory of Yunyou and Youzhou to be cleared of the Liao people, and when Lin Qingwan arrived, he was ordering, "Collect the property and drive all the Liao people out." “
"Wait a minute," Lin Qingwan hurriedly stopped him, and said helplessly: "General Xu, we still have to negotiate peace with Liao." ”
General Xu frowned, "But if you let so many Liao people in the territory, it is very easy to have an accident." ”
"I know, but it can't be one-size-fits-all, otherwise how can I negotiate with Wendihan?" Lin Qingwan said: "Besides, these Liao people have lived in the two places for more than 30 years, and there are many Liao people who have been in Yunzhou and Youzhou since they were born, and for them, this is their hometown. Not to mention those Liao people who married Han people, there are Han and Liao people in such a family, and the children born also have Han and Liao blood, how can you rush? ”
In Liaodi, the Han people are second-class people, and they will indeed be oppressed by all kinds of oppression, but the life of ordinary Liao people is not much better, so it is common for Liao and Han to marry, especially in the lower classes.
Xu Lian's one-size-fits-all approach was only a major blow to the magnates of the Liao Kingdom in the two places, but it was a fatal blow to ordinary people.
Lin Qingwan didn't want to continue to deteriorate the relationship with Liao, and second, she didn't want to involve too many civilians, so she said: "How to settle the people of the two states, the general might as well find some respected old people to ask." After all, what we do is for the local people, and no one understands the demands of the local people better than them. ”
Xu Lian frowned and was silent, he didn't have a very good impression of the Liao people, and he felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of having so many Liao people under his rule in the future.
Lin Qingwan looked at him and said: "General Xu, if the two countries can negotiate peacefully, then it is necessary to open up the mutual market, in the future, Yunzhou and Youzhou will be important places for mutual markets, and there will only be more Liao people coming and going." ”
"If you expel all the Liao people now, you will have established a mortal enemy, will this mutual market still be safe in the future? And the Han people in Yunzhou and Youzhou are afraid that they don't all agree, and they also have family members who are Liao. Lin Qingwan said softly: "Back then, my grandfather regained the lost land all the way, except for the Liao people who took the initiative to retreat, all the Liao people who stayed in the territory got the household registration of Daliang, and they were also allocated land for farming, and now there are many soldiers in your army with Liao blood, right?" Can you see that they have rebelled? ”
General Xu's face softened, "Ordinary people are okay, but those Liao magnates can't be easily let go, otherwise they will be left in Daliang, and what if they will cooperate with Liao in the future?" ”
The magnates of the Liao State all have private soldiers, and there are not many magnates of the Liao State in Yunzhou and Youzhou, more of them are rich families, but they also have a lot of slaves at home.
When the Liang State was in power, it was naturally impossible to give them preferential treatment, so if they rebelled, it would be a big trouble to gather and open the city gate to let the Liao people enter the city.
And now there is not much time left for them to set up defenses, Xu Lian must take care of the internal affairs before the Liao army regathers.
Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said, "Let's take people into custody first, don't bully them." ”
Su Zhang asked, "What should be done with their belongings?" ”
Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and said: "It is common for there to be some loss in the process of detention, their Liao soldiers are used to looting, they should understand this, as long as you keep people for me." ”
Several generals glanced at each other and nodded to Xu Lian and Su Zhang, "What the county lord said is that since we want to negotiate peace, we must always show some sincerity." ”
As long as the money of the rich families is collected in the army, and after eating pickles for several days, it is time to add some meat to the soldiers.
Chinese New Year's Eve was spent in battle, and now that the battle has been won, they can't be too cold, and they must let the soldiers have a good year.
The policy was decided, Xu Lian asked someone to invite the local more famous old man, sent someone out to inquire, and then divided the two families from the list and handed them to the staff generals below.
"These two families have a good reputation, except for them who don't move, the other families have copied it, detained the people separately, and revealed it, saying that someone wants to protect them, and these Liao people will not commit suicide."
The general responded and took the list.
At the same time, instructions were also sent from Lin Qingwan's account.
Xu Lian and Su Zhang have always only been in charge of the army, not politics, and some details in civil affairs have not been thought through. In addition, there will be peace talks later, Xu Lian was afraid that Lin Qingwan's affairs would be ruined, so he simply handed over the civil affairs of Yunyou and Yunyou to her for the time being.
Anyway, she is also the secretary of the Li Fan Yuan, and her position is the same as Xu Lian, and no one has an opinion on the main civil affairs.
Now everyone in the army knows that it is her plan to recover Yunyou and Youzhou this time, so they are all convinced by her, and no one has any opinions.
Lin Qingwan didn't bring many people, so she could only use Zhu Xuan, Gu Luo and Liu Hu, after all, they had lived in the Liao camp for many years and were most familiar with the Liao people.
She knew that the most important thing at this time was to stabilize the people's hearts, so she asked people to issue a decree, everyone, whether it was Han, Liao, or other tribal people, at this time are all Liang people, if there are people who do not want to be Liang people, they can leave the city immediately, and those who do not leave before sunset tomorrow are regarded as Liang people, and they must go to the yamen to re-register their information.
Regardless of whether they have a household registration or not, whether they are good citizens or slaves, they must be re-registered, and after the beginning of spring, the land will be re-measured and distributed to Yongye Tian.
At the same time, the Northeast Army is restrained and must not harass the people, whether the other party is Han, Liao, or people of other nationalities, once discovered, it will be dealt with by military law.
As soon as these three decrees came out, everyone's hearts settled down a lot.
In order to ensure the passage of government decrees, Lin Qingwan also hired a lot of people to convey them in the countryside, but there was no way, the Liao State was not like the Liang State.
Liang Guo's family recruited one person, and went to the army to serve as a soldier with his luggage.
Da Liao issued a conscription order, and those who received the conscription order not only had to bring some dry food, but also weapons and horses.
Those who don't have horses are most likely to be sent to death when they go to the army.
Others didn't receive a conscription order, but they really couldn't survive, so they would bring their own things to join the army.
There is no so-called military salary in Daliao, and only when you go south to capture the city, you can loot at will, and the rest of the things you grab belong to you except for a part of it.
Therefore, Liao talents like to play grass valley so much, and they are all cultivated by the Liao royal court.
This time the Liao army gathered, and almost all the young and middle-aged people in Yunzhou and Youzhou were collected, which means that almost every family has people in the Liao army.
And the officials of the two states were all involved, and they all withdrew from the two states at this time, so Lin Qingwan had no one who could use it.
All of them have to be made now.
It is also because of this situation that the people are panicked, for fear that Liang Guo will ask for guilt, even if Lin Qingwan's three decrees have calmed the people's hearts a lot, they are also skeptical.
But no matter what, on the surface, people's hearts have settled down for the time being.
Lin Qingwan wrote a letter of state, sent someone to Shangjing, and invited the new khan of Daliao to sit down and talk about it.
Yes, by this time they already knew that Wendihan had succeeded in becoming Khan, because the Assassins who had been trapped in Shangjing had returned.
At this time, the siege of Shangjing had been lifted, and they didn't know what was going on, but they knew that "Gu Lijia led the troops to retreat, and when we came out, the third prince of Liao had been on the throne for several days." ”
Wen Dihan succeeded to the throne, and the happiest person was Lin Qingwan, if someone else succeeded to the throne, the hope of peace talks would become very slim.
Handing over the letter of state, Lin Qingwan began to take people out to appease the people, and by the way, elect temporary officials to measure the distribution of land.
It is now in the first month, and there are still two months to go before spring ploughing, and she has to divide the land at least half a month before the spring ploughing arrives, otherwise the people of Yunzhou and Youzhou will not be able to catch up with spring ploughing.
It was this hectic time that Wu Shilang finally came back from Yunzhou with someone.
