Chapter Seventy-Four: Destroying the Country

"All the proceeds from the destruction of Gao Juli this time were transferred to the state treasury, including the land purchase and sale of Gao Juli, and all of them were put into the treasury, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, and it was possible to make money from the war," Guo Xing said meaningfully.

Several members of the cabinet were immediately excited, originally worried that the war finances would be occupied, and the wealth of a country was absolutely powerful, and they said in unison, "Your Majesty Shengming" This time it can be regarded as the support of all the chief officials of the cabinet and the localities, and they are really united.

Before he played, Guo Xing went on to say, "The local officials who are responsible for the support in this operation are also considered war merits, and the cabinet sent people to record the expenses of various places, compensate them uniformly after the war, and reward the officials in various places."

After setting the general policy, Guo Xing didn't say much, and asked, "Dingbei Hou, this time the cabinet and the three states and localities are fully supporting you, what questions do you have?"

Originally, the Marquis of Dingbei was worried about the time problem, mainly because he was afraid that the logistics would not be able to keep up, but now there is a guarantee that there is nothing else to worry about, and he said with a proud face, "Your Majesty, rest assured, within seven months, the minister will definitely sweep Gao Julie."

Guo Xing said happily, "Okay, you can discuss the detailed plan, and you will come up with it today, and I will wait for your news."

Dingbei Hou and Su Hu discussed with the governors of the three places and the cabinet for an afternoon and a night, and they made all the responsibilities clear, and after reporting to Guo Xing, Guo Xing looked at it and approved it directly.

In the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty officially declared war on Gaojuli, and appointed Beihou Bansheng as the marshal, and Su Hu as the deputy marshal and cavalry commander, leading the army of 400,000 to conquer Gaojuli (actually 220,000), and the local war machine of the Great Jin began to operate.

Guo Xing's will was also issued to all countries, especially the three countries bordering Gaojuli, which closed their borders and did not dare to have any dealings with Gaojuli, and all countries were paying attention to this war.

Although the war has been fought, all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty are still very stable, and according to the work plan, they are slowly advancing, and the cabinet has increased the supervision of all the imperial histories that are being investigated abroad.

Guo Wei found Guo Xing and proposed to gather the emperors and grandchildren for training, Guo Xing supported it, and directly ordered all the emperors and grandchildren to report to the Taishang Emperor in the summer resort and accept the training of the Taishang Emperor.

Soon the emperors and grandchildren went, and they were greeted by the training of the hell class, and many princesses rushed to the summer resort, looking at the training and feeling distressed, but there was no way.

Every night Guo Xing flipped through the information sent by the secret guards, especially from Hongfeng Mountain, so far, Guo Yue and others have killed a total of three people in Hongfeng Mountain, all three of them are masters, the lowest is the cultivation of a martial artist, two have been identified, and one has not been identified.

Guo Xing felt a burst of irritability, and for the person who had not been identified, he ordered the secret guard to expand the scope, and several prefectures and counties bordering Hongfeng Mountain increased their efforts to find suspicious things.

The front line is that the war is still going well, Dingbei Hou has won a few battles, and the war has also advanced to Gao Juli's country, Gao Juli is now regretting it, he shouldn't listen to the bewitchment of the grassland people, what is the trouble with the Great Jin, now that he is fighting with the Great Jin, he does not see the support of the grassland people.

In fact, the grassland people were planning to support, Guo Xing's first reaction at that time was to let the cavalry of Yunzhou and Lanzhou attack, and sweeping the grassland was to drag down the prairie, which was also the fundamental reason why Guo Xing asked Dingbei Hou to increase his efforts.

According to Guo Xing's plan, after the completion of the two-year work plan, the five-year work plan will be carried out, and the army will be reformed at the same time.

The war has been going on for more than four months, and on this day, Guo Xing was discussing this love with several ministers in the palace, and he heard someone outside shouting, "Great victory, great victory, great victory at the front."

Dingbei Hou's 800 miles of good news, Guo Xing took it and opened it to see how satisfied he was, in April of the second year of Xingwu in the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Jin army and the main force of Gao Juli fought a big battle in the upper soil of Gao Juli, and fought for a whole day, eliminating more than 100,000 people of Gao Juli's main force and capturing 200,000 people, this battle was considered to have disabled Gao Juli.

Guo Xing, who received the battle report, and the cabinet were very happy, and Yang He, the first assistant of the cabinet, said, "Your Majesty, you want to reward the three armies."

Guo Xing was also very excited, after all, it was the first foreign war since he ascended the throne, and it was of course a good thing to win, and he said happily, "Of course it will be rewarded, the cabinet will discuss who to send to the better place, and by the way, the prisoners will be brought back."

This is a fat difference, so several cabinet ministers have recommended candidates, and in the end, Guo Xing made a decision to let Sun Chengsheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Huang Shikui, the waiter of the Ministry of War, go together.

When the capital got the good news, many people put up firecrackers, which was celebrated by the whole world, and the morale of the military and civilians in the Great Jin Dynasty was greatly improved, which is also what Guo Xing wanted to see.

After more than a month, Dingbei Hou Bansheng completely pacified Gao Juli, and it took a little more than six months before and after, capturing Gao Juli Emperor Li Wenxiu, Empress Jin Xide, and many ministers, and looting Gao Juli's treasury and ministers' property, and finally obtained a total of more than 40 million taels of gold, more than 80 million taels of silver, and countless other antiques.

Guo Xing consulted with the cabinet and finally sent officials to receive Gao Juli, Gao Juli was divided into four states, namely Jinzhou, Hanzhou, Tangzhou, Songzhou sent to the chief executive, from the Central Plains and densely populated areas to migrate the population of two million, as long as they are willing to emigrate, the government is responsible for the expenses on the way to come, and to the relocation of the land after free land farming, you only need to pay it back every year, five or five every year, eight years later, the land belongs to the individual.

At the same time, the people of Gaojuli were relocated, said to be migrated, but in fact they were enslaved, and more than 4 million people of Gaojuli moved to the Great Jin Dynasty to settle down in the end, only a few hundred thousand, and most of them were women, Guo Xing ordered the governors of various states to go to Beijing in early July to collect prisoners.

The governors of various places are very happy, and there are tens of thousands of places in each state, but Yizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou have the largest number, but they have no complaints, and they ask who has paid for the food and grass provided for the army.

There are a lot of people waiting to fill the vacancies in the Ministry of Officials in the Great Jin Dynasty over the years, and after the war between the Great Jin and Gao Juli, these people have rushed to the capital, and they have become active, and Gao Juli has a lot of officials needed for the four states, and there are more officials, Guo Xing and the cabinet also took into account this situation, and they could not let these novices go, and finally selected a group of county officials who performed well from all over the country to be promoted to the prefect and go to the post.

The vacant positions were filled by reserve officials, and the order was made to set the Northern Hou Ban Division, but the army should be left in the land of the four states to maintain the safety of the place, and finally after the discussion, a total of 120,000 people were left in the land of the four states, and these 120,000 people will be slowly withdrawn within three years.

The war cost more than 20 million taels of silver, completely earned, the Ministry of Finance is directly managed by the cabinet, there is money in the hands of the cabinet several cabinet ministers laughing every day, Youzhou, Yizhou, Qingzhou three governors asked for a minimum of 100,000 prisoners each.

Guo Xing saw that there were many people, and after discussing with the cabinet, he gave 200,000 yuan each with a stroke of his pen, which made the governors of the three places very happy, and the food of the three places to support the army, the cabinet also converted it into silver according to the market price for supply, and fulfilled what Guo Xing said before the war.

It is not possible to give the governors of various states to the envy, why, the imperial court gives it according to the market price, and the governors and local officials give it below is not the market price but the cost price, and the more let the local officials share it, which is regarded as a reward.

Zhengda took the silver brightly, and the officials at all levels in the three places were overjoyed, and their support for the imperial court was unprecedentedly high, and there were awards and rewards from the imperial court behind them.

If officials don't make money from the people, the people's lives will be much better. At the same time, Guo Xing ordered Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Yizhou to be tax-free for one year, so that the people could enjoy the benefits of victory.

At the end of June, Dingbei Hou led a large army to return to the DPRK to offer prisoners, which was huge, with more than 60,000 people, including more than 30,000 cavalry, and Su Hu and Hong Chengtao had made great strides after this battle.

Now the governors and the army are back, and the Taiji Hall is holding a grand court meeting, and Guo Xing is kneeling on the ground densely as soon as he comes out, and shouts long live.

Guo Xing nodded and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat."

After the officials got up, Guo Xing said, "Declare the decree."

The following eunuch Gao Sheng read out the decree: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Gao Juli is bold and reckless, and the crime of provoking war is not forgiven, the royal family and ministers of Gao Juli are all executed, and the rest of the people are all reformed through labor to atone for their crimes."

Dingbei Hou Bansheng was promoted to the Duke of Beiguo,

Su Hu was promoted to the third waiting,

Hong Chengtao is the viscount,

At the same time, Zhang Cheng, the governor of Youzhou, Liu Bosen, the governor of Yizhou, and Hu Baosen, the governor of Qingzhou, were barons.

Yizhou guerrilla general Xu Gang was promoted to general Ningyuan

Yizhou Lieutenant Zhao Shaokang was promoted to Ranger General,

Yizhou Lieutenant Gao Jin was promoted to guerrilla general,

Qingzhou guerrilla general Wu Ding was promoted to general Ningyuan

Qingzhou Captain Zhang Xie Dong was promoted to Yongyi General,

Qingzhou Lieutenant Ma Su was promoted to Ranger General

Liu Boming, a lieutenant in Youzhou, was promoted to guerrilla general

Pang Lingming, the captain of Youzhou, was promoted to guerrilla general

Youzhou guerrilla general Chen Ping was promoted to Huwei general

..................

and many other people's official positions have been promoted, especially the governors of the three places who are envied by everyone have won the title and been crowned as a baron, which makes all the governors envious, and it is too difficult for civil officials to get the title.

This great court meeting can be said to be a few great joys, and then the distribution of prisoners began, and the governors of all places blushed and began to work hard, and they all wanted to ask more, and the free labor saved was money, and the people had to pay for labor, and they had to take care of food and shelter, and the prisoners didn't need to do it, as long as they didn't starve to death, they didn't care.

Who doesn't want to ask for more, one by one, Guo Xing's face was a little dark, and he looked at Yang He, the first minister, Yang He knew that he should speak up, and stood up and said, "What kind of system, one by one, they are all feudal officials of the imperial court, look what you look like."
