Chapter 736: East Wind
Chaisang is ke, and the Yangtze River is unimpeded.
The water army can go straight to Jiankang.
Li Yue's army had not yet set off, and all parts of the south of the Yangtze River either surrendered or watched silently, and overnight, Chu was left with only the counties on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
The territory has shrunk dramatically.
Li Yue rewarded Huan Mi and his subordinates who surrendered, and according to the old practice, after the surrender of the army was reorganized, it was handed over to Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan's troops increased greatly, with more than 34,000 people.
The screaming ones want to break Jiankang and divide the fields and land.
In the past, the war was fought for the so-called Jiangdong Imperial Court, but now it is for themselves, and their morale is higher than that of the Black Cloud Army.
This kind of thing is not something that can be encountered at any time, and many northern displaced people have only changed from white to civilian after several generations, but there is no land at all.
Li Yue did what he said, and during the period of stationing in Chaisang, he took out a part of the fields in Jiangling, Wuchang, Chaisang and other places, distributed them to the surrendered soldiers, and gave them the nationality of Daliang and became commoners.
The surrendering army turned from skeptical at the beginning to ecstasy.
"I knew that Daliang would divide the field for us, and what would you sell for Jiangdong?"
"It's the benevolence of Emperor Hongxing!"
Li Yue, accompanied by his personal guards, inspected the camps and was surprised by the heat of the surrendering troops.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I was relieved that since the Qin and Han dynasties, there are not many opportunities for ordinary people to directly get land.
The Qin Dynasty's military merits were awarded, and there was a source of power for the unification of the six countries.
The Han Dynasty followed, ushered in a magnificent era, in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholars began to rise, the land was annexed, the people were not able to make a living, then there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Wei and Jin Dynasty inherited the disadvantages of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were still excesses, and then there were five chaotic China.
Later, Feng Taifa of the Northern Wei Dynasty issued the Juntian Order, implemented the rent modulation, the people were able to get the land, the north quickly stabilized, and the Sui and Tang dynasties created a brilliant and prosperous era on this basis, but the Anshi Rebellion was also caused by the collapse of the Juntian military system.
The imperial court did not have land in its hands and gave it to the growing population, but the new population still had to bear taxes and servitude, while the nobles and nobles still annexed the land......
In Li Yue's view, the land system is closely related to the fate of a dynasty.
Therefore, if Liang wants to avoid the mistakes of Wei and Jin, he must make a fuss about the land.
The land collapsed, and with it, the fortune of the whole nation fell into the gutter.
This war is only a façade, and in essence, it is a redistribution of land through war.
Politics can be victorious.
Li Yue is no longer a simple military commander, but stands in a higher historical dimension.
If this land distribution can be completed, a prosperous Sui and Tang dynasties can be expected, but the premise is that the descendants are slightly more successful.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know when our army will attack Jiankang?" Xie Xuan seemed to be even more anxious than Li Yue.
"Don't worry, let the people and soldiers of Jiangdong know the national policy of Daliang." Li Yue has always paid attention to public opinion propaganda.
Although the army did not continue to attack the city and plunder the land, the fine work and the Honglu officials have been scattered all over the place.
Today's Huan Wen and the Jiangdong Shi clan are already turtles in the urn, it just depends on how Li Yue eats.
"Five days ago, Huan Wen launched a counterattack at Misu and was repulsed by our army." Lu Qing arched.
Li Yue nodded, "This battle was able to go down the river and drive straight in, all because of the efforts of the armies on the East Road. ”
The army continued to be stationed in Chaisang.
However, signs of epidemic began to appear in the army, and more than 50 people vomited and diarrhea, and their bodies were so weak that they could not even stand steadily.
It has been more than three months since the expedition, and the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and hot, and many northern soldiers are not accustomed to the water and soil.
Li Yue hurriedly isolated the barracks where they were and ordered the accompanying military doctors to take care of them.
In response to the epidemic, the Liang army has rich experience, the logistics and grain routes are unimpeded, and all kinds of medicinal materials can be used at any time.
Most of the sick soldiers recovered, and only two died.
Fortunately, the epidemic is still under control.
Li Yue scattered his troops, but with that came another problem, his forces were scattered, and he would be caught off guard in the event of an enemy surprise attack or rebellion.
The heart of defense is indispensable.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Yue simply asked Xie Xuan to lead the army as the vanguard, go down the river, and go straight to Misu.
Most of the troops who surrendered grew up in Jiangdong and were more adapted to the water and soil of Jiangdong.
Just in case, Li Yue still asked Liu Gaozhi to lead 5,000 horsemen to follow closely and "take care of each other".
As for the people, they returned to Wuchang.
As soon as the personnel were evacuated, the epidemic was immediately alleviated.
On the battlefield on the east road, Huan Wen launched three more counteroffensives, one small victory, one small defeat, and one draw, failing to repel Deng Yao and Liang Xiao.
Both of them are also veterans, and they don't need Li Yue's order to know how to cooperate strategically.
Steady and steady, did not give Huan Wen any chance.
And in these counteroffensives, the Chu army unconsciously became a tired army.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince greets you." Lu Qing came with a recital.
Li Yue's heart is hot, but he is still intimate with his own flesh and blood.
Although the Wei and Jin dynasties are rotten, they still abide by filial piety, and the two Han and Cao Wei are actually ruling the world with filial piety, and even the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family is cheeky to claim that "the Fu Wei Holy Dynasty rules the world with filial piety"......
The father and son were harmonious, and the Liang court also had a stable foundation.
In this battle, although Li Jian did not go to the front line to take the lead, he showed excellent coordination ability.
In Li Yue's view, this is actually one of the most important abilities of a qualified emperor
Marching and fighting is secondary.
In addition to greeting him, Li Jian's letter also asked when the war would end, and after a few months, half of the treasury had accumulated over the years.
"Isn't there another half after half of it? The unity of the world does not care about this money and grain. Li Yue said with a smile.
Lu Qing immediately complimented, "What Your Majesty said is that if you break Jiankang, you will have your own money and food to make up for the shortfall." ”
Li Yue shook his head, "Jiangdong Jinghuan Wen is so tossed, how can there be any money in the treasury?" ”
Huan Wen recruited a new army of sixty or seventy thousand, even if he had money, he was now gone.
The results of the Gengxu soil break had been transferred to the Liang State during the first two northern expeditions to Hefei.
If you want to get money and food, you still rely on the means of the pirate army.
However, the navy has been off for more than a month, and it has not yet landed, which makes Li Yue worried, in case of a hurricane or other accident, Li Yue's deployment will be disrupted.
Anything could happen at sea, even in the Yuan Dynasty, when the fleet attacking the Wa Kingdom was twice hit by a hurricane.
As an emperor, it's best to maintain a bright image and let others do the dirty work.
"No news from the sea?"
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
"The minister is also strange, it stands to reason that he should have landed in Huiji half a month ago." Lu Qing's face was a little ugly.
"You don't report good news or bad news, there was an abnormality half a month ago, and now you come to report it?" Li Yue's face sank.
"Your Majesty forgives me, the minister just sees Your Majesty's hard work......" Lu Qing hurriedly surrendered his hand.
Not only him, but in fact, the people around him are singing praises and flattery, and being in this environment all day long, it is no wonder that there are so many faint kings in history.
"After this battle, I promoted you to the history of Jiangzhou."
