Chapter 822: Returning to the Division
Li Chong knelt down and thanked him, he didn't have much resentment after losing the throne now, but he felt fortunate because he was out of Arub's control, and when he returned to the capital, he wouldn't be able to live a life of lack of food and clothing, humiliated and scolded all day long, right? He has not been on the throne for a long time, and he has been subject to the Queen Mother and Yang Jiefu during this limited time, and he has not tasted much of the benefits of power. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Of course, it is difficult to say whether he will have other ideas after he returns to the palace and adapts to a leisurely and wealthy life, but Li You has long been prepared for this, Hei Bingtai will monitor the mansions of these former dynasty clans for a long time, and once someone tries to use them to make trouble, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by the imperial court immediately.
"Although Dragon City has fallen into the hands of our dynasty now, there are still many remnants of the northern captives in the north, you must not slack off, you must solve these people as soon as possible." After announcing the lenient treatment of these people, Li You then talked about the next thing to do, and now that the forces of the northern captives have not been completely expelled from the Guannei Dao, it is not the time to completely relax.
"The last general will be ordered!" Zhou Bofu, Qin Shixin and others replied at the same time, as for how to carry out the sweeping work, the General Staff Department had already formulated a perfect plan, and they only needed to follow these plans.
"This time to break through Dragon City, you Aiqing have worked hard." Li You waved his hand, and the eunuch took out another holy decree and read out the rewards for the meritorious ministers in this battle, up to Qin Shixin and Zhou Bofu, to Sun Chuyang and Shi Huaiyi, down to Wang Xuandao and Qin Zekun who surrendered, and Zhai Xiongxin who led the righteous army to vote did not miss it.
I'm also a fourth-rank military general now? Zhai Xiongxin couldn't close his mouth with joy, and glanced at Cheng Junda who was standing in front of him proudly, now they are on an equal footing again, but the war in Henan Province has ended, but there are still many remnants of the Northern Captives in Guannei Province, Zhai Xiongxin still has the opportunity to make contributions, maybe after the Guannei Road is completely pacified, he will come from behind.
And although Wang Xuandao and Qin Zekun were not officially reinstated, but because they made a lot of contributions in intercepting Arubu and guarding the grain and grass of Dragon City, Li You not only pardoned them for their crimes of surrendering to the enemy in the past, but also arranged two minor officials for the two of them, which can be regarded as being able to return to officialdom. Li Youke, the general who oppressed the people, didn't have a good face, and he had already cut off a lot of heads after entering the city.
"The last general will wait to thank the emperor!" Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and thanked Li You under the leadership of Qin Shixin and Zhou Bofu, and then entered the banquet to start a lively celebration banquet.
After the celebration banquet ended, the army immediately set off, Zhou Bofu and Shi Huaiyi respectively led two groups of men and horses from two directions to start the journey of sweeping away the remnants of the northern captives, Zhai Xiongxin, Wang Xuandao and Qin Zekun, who were familiar with the local situation, followed them respectively, providing them with advice and help.
After Arubu's death, the northern captives were already a group of dragons without a leader and became a scattered sand, and some smart people had received the news of the fall of Dragon City and quickly packed up their troops and horses and retreated to the Mobei grassland, but they also escaped this catastrophe; And the rest of those who don't have clear brains, even if a Jiazhou army can break through Dragon City, they will suffer huge damage, and they definitely don't have the energy to take care of them in a short period of time, so these people want to continue to stay in Guannei Dao to observe and observe the rumors, but the speed of Zhou Bofu and Shi Huaiyi's march was beyond their expectations, and they quickly defeated these people like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
After suffering three defeats in succession in Henan Province, Gyeonggi Province and Longcheng, the strength accumulated by the Mobei Grassland after decades has rapidly collapsed, and the remaining troops are simply unable to compete with the Jiazhou army.
Li You, who stayed in Longcheng, was not idle, he sent a message back to the capital, and asked Yao Guangxiao, Fan Li, Wang Ji and others to train capable officials to enrich the prefectures and counties of Guannai Province, and brought seeds and farm tools for them to resume production, so that the land could recover as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the speed of this capture of Dragon City was very fast, and the Black Ice Platform contacted many powerful factions in the city, trying to ensure that the materials looted by Arubu from all over the Guannai Province were not too damaged, so it was not too difficult for the people of the fireworks Guannai Dao, and I believe that they would quickly adapt to the new life under the care of the imperial court.
Along with the officials, seeds, and farm tools, there were many teachers sent by the Ministry of Rites, and the Kannai Province had to establish a new education system like the others, and Li You had already made arrangements that the palace in Arubu would now be the seat of the Dragon Castle University Hall, so that the talented people of the Kannai Province could have a suitable place to study.
The gold and silver treasures found in the palace will also be the initial funds for the establishment of the school in Kannai Province, and strive to make Guannai Province have a primary school in every county like Jiangnan West Province within three years, and each state capital can have an intermediate school, and those top students should also get the opportunity to study in Longcheng University Hall.
The work of commanding the actions of the army, pacifying the gentry and people of Guannai Province, preventing them from resuming production, and re-establishing an effective ruling system made Li You stay in Longcheng for more than three months, until everything was on track, he began to prepare to get up and return to the capital, and the rest was some trivial work, and it was enough for the local officials to do it.
Before leaving, he made arrangements for the appointment of personnel in Guannei Province, Zhou Bofu and Qin Shixin returned to the capital with him, and Shi Huaiyi would continue to command a mixed army composed of the Jiazhou Army, the Righteous Army, and the Surrender Army to continue to clean up the remnants of the Northern Captives, and at the same time monitor the movements of the Mobei Grassland, so as to prepare for the future invasion of Mobei.
The reason why Shi Huaiyi was chosen instead of Qin Shixin was also deliberately done by Li You, firstly, the two of them would play a role in other battlefields in the future, and secondly, now that Luo Shiji is leading an army in Hedong Province, if Qin Shixin, who was also born under Zhang Guo with him, is the same, this is not a good thing for them or Li You, and some basic balances still have to be talked about.
After all this was arranged, Li You left Dragon City with a large army and a large amount of captured booty, preparing to return to the capital.
