Cao Yan arrested the entire family of the King of Chu and locked up the family members and slaves and servants of the King of Chu together.

He learned from the mouth of his servant about the place where the king of Chu hid his treasure.

There is a lot of wealth in the palace of the king of Chu, and most of the wealth is hidden in the palace.

A casual search in an attic found more than a dozen large boxes of silver and jewelry underground.

Seeing such silver all of a sudden, the main general Cao Yan was also stupid.

There were too many treasures in the palace, Cao Yan didn't dare to deal with them without permission, and hurriedly notified Mo Qian to come.

Mo Qian unhurriedly led the people to the palace, and after entering the palace, he saw more than thirty large boxes placed at the door of the main hall.

Cao Yan stepped forward and explained to Mo Qian: "Dashuai, you have made a fortune, you have just searched for a while, and you have searched so much silver, this Chu Wangfu is really rich!" ”

Mo Qian ordered someone to open the box and saw that it was full of fine silver, and he was also shocked.

Just these 30 boxes of silver, not to mention the ancient era when silver was used as currency, even in later generations, so much silver is also a lot of money!

"The Chu Palace's gold and silver is this?" Mo Qian asked, pointing to the box on the ground.

"It's still searching, the palace is too big, there are seven or eight hundred rooms alone!"

"Then send more people, search carefully, be careful, don't break the furniture or anything, it's all good things!"

The furniture used in the palace of the king of Chu is all good, and there are so many precious calligraphy and paintings hanging in the palace, these things cannot be ruined, and they must be well protected.

The additional manpower soon rushed over, and Qian Dayou heard that the marshal was in the palace of the king of Chu, and immediately brought his men to meet the peace.

"Marshal, all the inside and outside of Wuchang have been cleared, more than 4,000 officers and soldiers have died, and the remaining 20,000 people have all surrendered!" Qian Dayou smiled and asked for credit.

"Dashuai, Nanchang also has good news, Yi Dayong and Yi Chenggui have taken Raozhou, Guangxin, Fuzhou, Jianchang four prefectures, Peng Zongbing has successfully captured Ningzhou and Wuning counties.

Now the whole of Jiangxi, except for the two prefectures of Ganzhou and Nan'an, is all under the control of our righteous army.

Yi Dayong sent a letter asking if he was allowed to send troops south to attack Ganzhou in order to occupy the whole province of Jiangxi! ”

Mo Qian waved his hand and said: "No, the Southern Jiangxi region is complicated, there are more than a dozen bandits alone, Yi Dayong doesn't know the details of Southern Jiangxi, and it is easy to suffer."

Besides, now that the army is fighting one after another, it is the time when it is necessary to rectify, so I ordered the three of them to stand by and let them train their soldiers and horses, and I immediately ordered someone to arrange for officials to take up their posts. ”

"Yes!"

Now that the military and government have been separated, it is no longer convenient for the military to meddle in local government affairs.

Besides, now that he has defeated Wuchang and the strategic goal has been achieved, in a few days, Chongzhen should be furious when he hears the news.

In another month, Chongzhen should send heavy troops to encircle and suppress him, a thief.

Mo Qian is not afraid of Chongzhen's encirclement and suppression, he now has a large territory and a large population under his rule, and there are eight or nine million people in Jiangxi Province alone.

As long as the base area is stable, he is not afraid of how many soldiers and horses come from the imperial court.

The only thing now is to quickly consolidate the base areas and consume them.

Wuchang is a good place, but it is in the land of four wars, and Mo Qian is not sure whether he can hold it now, and the key depends on the countermeasures of the imperial court.

However, the most critical issue at the moment is not the question of fighting wars, but the question of governing the localities.

The speed of expansion in the past few months can be described as terrifying, and according to statistics, the army has conquered nearly thirty county towns since its expedition.

Thirty cities need hundreds of officials, and it is a question of where to replenish these officials and where to choose them.

The key problem now is that he does not have enough official reserves, and this must be addressed immediately.

No matter how much the territory expands, he can no longer send officials to govern, and if he doesn't govern the place, what is the difference between it and not fighting.

was having a headache, suddenly Gong Chengkang came out of nowhere, he came to Mo Qian, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, I'll show you something, come with me!" ”

"Cheng Kang? What's the good thing? Mo Qian looked at his cheap smile and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Just come with me!"

Gong Chengkang led Mo Qian to the main hall of the Chu Palace, pointed to the golden chair on the main hall and said, "Dashuai, what do you think it is?" ”

Mo Qian looked over with his hand and saw a golden dragon chair sitting in the hall of the main hall.

"A chair, what's wrong?"

"Dashuai, that's a golden dragon chair, it's the prince who sits!"

"It's just the dragon chair that the vassal king is sitting on, what's the fuss, go back and melt this chair into gold ingots for me, I'm going to use it to buy Western cannons!"

"Dashuai, are you going to sell this dragon chair?"

"It's just a vassal king's dragon chair, what is there to be honorable, listen to me, melt it, make it into gold ingots, and pay the army!"

After Mo Qian finished speaking, he left the main hall.

In the eyes of others, this golden dragon chair may mean something, but in Mo Qian's opinion, no matter how big and good this chair is, it is not worth melting him into gold to buy arms.

He had to rely on the gold and silver to buy some artillery from the Portuguese.

After seizing Liu Liangzuo's ten cannons, Mo Qian found that this thing was really useful.

Whether it is fighting cavalry or attacking cities, artillery is an extremely sharp weapon, and in another two hundred years, Westerners will use foreign guns and foreign artillery to knock on the door of China.

As a time-traveler, Mo Qian does not want to encounter such a shameful day in China in the future.

He wanted to make the people of his country accept the power of Western weapons in his time, improve them, and use these weapons to defend the country in the future.

Kou can go, I can go too!

He can dominate the world in England and France, why can't I be in China.

However, good weapons have to be bought with money, and the craftsmen in Mo Qian's hands are not yet top people, and if you want to improve artillery and muskets, you have to search for talents.

Looking at the back of Mo Qian's departure, Gong Chengkang touched his head, looked at the golden dragon chair, and wondered: "This is a golden dragon chair, how can the handsome not like it?" ”

Of course, Gong Chengkang couldn't understand Mo Qian's modern thoughts, and in desperation, he had to order someone to protect the golden dragon chair first.

When Mo Qian came out of the main hall, he saw that the side hall was full of soldiers, and when he walked over to take a look, he found that there was actually a group of women squatting in the side hall.

Mo Qian called Qian Dayou and instructed him, "How many family servants are there in the Chu Palace?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, there are more than 300 people of all sizes, and the last general doesn't know how to deal with it, I just want to ask Dashuai!"

"If there are no traitors and servants of the household, send them home, and if there are those who oppress the people, they should be killed, and those who should be locked up."

"Yes, what should I do with my daughter? The princess of Chu and the county lord and the son of the king of Chu are also a lot of people together, are these people killed like the king of Chu, or? ”

The execution of the King of Chu was done by Mo Qian by acquiescence to Gao Huijie, but for the others, Mo Qian did not order how to deal with them.

The king of Chu did a lot of evil in Wuchang, and before that, he led his troops to rob the tribute silver of the imperial court, and even killed the governor.

It is impossible for this kind of evil king to spare his life.

Although Mo Qian is not fond of killing, he will still kill those who are too brutal.

The king of Chu deserves to die, but his son and daughter Mo Qian really haven't figured out what to do.

"Are the sons of the king of Chu traitors and lawbreakers?"

Qian Dayou thought for a moment and replied: "There are two sons who have killed the people, and the rest have never heard of any great evil!" ”

Mo Qian nodded, "In this way, you call the officials of Wuchang Mansion and ask them, if there are really people who have killed the people, then behead them for public display, and if they do not break the law, they will be sent to Nanchang and strictly guarded with other vassal kings!" ”

"Yes!"

For these clan vassal kings, Mo Qian didn't want to kill them, but killing them now would have too much impact.

Most of these vassal kings were guilty, but there were also many who did not die for their crimes.

If the crime is extremely heinous, then it is natural to kill and kill, and if the crime does not lead to death, it should be punished, and it should be imprisoned.

After a day's counting, the wealth of the Chu Wangfu was finally clear.

Qian Dayou came to report the account with the account book.

He smiled and reported the results to Mo Qian.

"Dashuai, we have made a fortune, we have found a total of 1.2 million taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and countless other jewels, calligraphy and paintings from the Chu Palace."

Hearing this number, everyone present cheered, and even Mo Qian, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but twitch his nose.

"Dashuai, so much gold and silver, I'm afraid it will take hundreds of carts to transport it in a carriage!"

Qian Dayou had just finished reporting, and at this time, Lu Zhao suddenly appeared in the palace.

"Dashuai, I just went to raid the palaces of other county kings in the city, and the harvest is not small, there are nearly one million taels of gold and silver alone, and more than 70,000 stones of grain!"

Hearing the grain, Mo Qian couldn't help but turn his head and ask Qian Dayou: "What about the grain in the Chu Palace?" ”

"Not counted yet!"

"Order the soldiers, immediately watch the granary, and count the number as soon as possible!"

Mo Qian's face was about to bloom, this Wuchang City was too cost-effective.

That night, Mo Qian held a celebration banquet in the palace of the king of Chu, at which not only the senior generals and civil officials of the righteous army came, but even Cui Wenrong, Gao Huijie and others who surrendered were invited by Mo Qian.

Mo Qian, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, looked at the slender body of the palace dancer dancing gracefully in the middle of the banquet, and Mo Qian now understood Bai Juyi's poem.

The spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will not be early from now on!

Not to mention anything else, this King of Chu will really enjoy it, this dancing girl is not only beautiful, but also has a huge figure.

Looking at his curvaceous little waist dangling in front of him, Mo Qian felt for the first time that his desire was a little unbearable.

After all, it is a twenty-year-old body, and in the end, it is still strong in blood.

Mo Qian was frantically persuaded by a group of generals to drink, and in the end, even Li Banghua and Mei Zhihuan came over with wine glasses to persuade him.

In the end, Mo Qian didn't know how much he drank, he only felt that the whole person was spinning, and then he lost consciousness.

The next morning, when Mo Qian woke up, he found that he was already lying on the bed, and there was actually a woman lying beside him!
