Chapter 831 The turning point

The Song Dynasty destroyed the Jiaozhi Kingdom!

This was a major turning point in the power of the Song Dynasty, marking that the Song Dynasty once again had the ability to destroy a country!

How long has it been since the last time? Ninety-seven years have passed since the Song Dynasty defeated the Northern Han Dynasty!

The inverse parabola that Su You drew for Zhao Xu can finally be confirmed today. It has truly moved past the lowest point and started to rise again!

The four prefectures and thirteen prefectures of the Li Yue Dynasty - Thang Long Protectorate Prefecture, Datong Prefecture, Thanh Hoa Prefecture, Phu Liang Prefecture, Yong An Prefecture, Yong Tai Prefecture, Wanchuan Prefecture, Feng Dao Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, Thanh Hoa Prefecture and Ngai An Prefecture.

, Zhefeng Prefecture, Chalu Prefecture, Anfeng Prefecture, Suzhou, Maozhou, and Langzhou; Hening Village, Dapan Village, and Xinan Village are all included in the territory!

People gathered outside Xuande Gate in the imperial city and in front of Kaifeng Mansion, waiting expectantly for the official announcement.

Soon, officials from the two systems and above hurriedly entered the palace.

Wu Chong and Wang Gui drove side by side, looking at the crowds on both sides and the various shops that began to post notices of celebratory discounts, he smiled bitterly at Wang Gui and said: "The news in Bianjing City spreads too fast.

Hurry and call the governor to put things in order."

Wang Gui also had a headache when he saw this situation: "Let's go to the palace to congratulate His Majesty. Why hasn't Feng Jing seen you yet?"

Lu Huiqing had a conflict with Wang Anshi and submitted Anshi's secret letter to Shenzong, which included the words "Don't let Qi Nian know about it", and "Qi Nian" refers to Feng Jing.

Zhao Xu knew that Feng Jing was innocent and summoned the Privy Council.

Feng Jing complained of illness.

After Zhao Xu took a nap one day, he said to his surroundings: "It is very comforting to dream of Feng Jing entering the court."

When the imperial edict was given to Feng Jing again, there was a line in the edict, "I long for ritual punishments and never forget my dreams." Only then did Feng Jing accept the order. These eight words made all the courtiers envious.

Wu Chong said with a smile: "This matter involves military affairs, so Feng Dangshi must have already entered the palace first."

When the two entered Wuying Pavilion, they saw Zhao Xu wearing a gray New Army thin woolen uniform.

The golden plum blossoms on the hard epaulettes and collar badges are sparkling. The knee-high leather boots are shiny, and the two red strips for decoration are very conspicuous on both sides of the black leggings. There is a wide cowhide armed belt around the waist, a bullet pouch,

A multi-purpose emergency kit and other odds and ends are all available, and an ivory-handled revolving gun hangs on the right side.

From the beginning of the design, Su You required that the new military uniforms must emphasize the upright and capable temperament of soldiers. Zhao Xu's figure was originally a bit thin, but after being dressed up like this, he suddenly showed a lot of heroic spirit.

Now Zhao Xu has also divided his clothes into categories. When meeting officials in a palace with the word "武", it must be this outfit.

Wang Gui twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't say anything.

When Zhao Xu saw the two of them, he put his hands on his waist and said with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Two gentlemen, what did Zhongshu say in the report?"

Wu Chong secretly complained that his majesty was so happy that he rang the Jingyang bell before the Zhongshu report was even delivered. He only read the secret document.

He quickly stepped forward and said: "Congratulations to your majesty, our army of the Song Dynasty officially accepted the unconditional surrender of Jiaozhi on February 25th. All the four prefectures and thirteen prefectures of Jiaozhi returned to the Song Dynasty. Li Qiande, the king of Jiaozhi County, will ride in when the wind blows next month

The ship went to Hangzhou and then went to Beijing via the canal to plead guilty."

Wang Gui bowed and said: "The Song Dynasty was completely victorious in this battle. The entire army suffered less than five thousand losses in the battle, and it was surprising that they annihilated 170,000 men. The puppet queen mother committed suicide, and Li Ni was captured. She will soon drive to the palace."

"

This was an undisputed victory. Zhao Xu went from being ambitious at the beginning, to feeling uneasy after encountering setbacks, to hearing that the navy had been intercepted, to the great disappointment of his military attendants after the deduction, and now to his sudden comeback.

The excitement in my heart is indescribable.

This is an achievement that can catch up with Taizu and Taizong!

In the ten years since he took office, he has been subject to controversy and criticism from the beginning because of the new law. However, with this year's victory, even the most demanding people have to admit that it is perfect.

Wu Chong saw tears starting to gather in Zhao Xu's eyes and said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about anything else. First, please post the news of the success of Annan's camp and Li Chao's surrender outside the Kaifeng government offices and palace walls to make the people happy.

Be happy..."

Only then did Zhao Xu realize his gaffe: "Yes, this Su Mingrun, if he hadn't read Guo Kui's memorial, I would have thought he had lost the battle."

Wang Gui glanced at Wu Chong and quickly asked: "Your Majesty, is there a conflict between the general and the civil servants?"

Zhao Xu waved his hand: "No, it was Su Mingrun who said it with trepidation, saying that Jiaozhi is a powder keg. Although it has fallen now, there is still a long way to go to win people's hearts, how to treat the injured, and how to restore the local people's livelihood after the war."

"It is also said that despite the record of destroying hundreds of thousands of enemies, there are hundreds of thousands of widows, hundreds of thousands of children, and hundreds of thousands of parents who have lost their children. What the Song Dynasty wants is a piece of land that can help the country, and

He does not want to be a burden that is full of hatred. So how to eliminate the adverse effects of the war and how to make the Jiaozhi people loyal to the Song Dynasty, he feels a lot of responsibility and pressure."

"There is also the place where the Four Wars were. Countries fought against each other all the year round. There was a lot of hostility between countries in the past. Jiaozhi and the surrounding countries originally had many territorial issues left over. Now these problems have become the subject of the Song Dynasty.

problem."

"Anyway, he talks a lot, which makes me feel a headache for him."

Wu Chong and Wang Gui looked at each other. Others always reported good news but not bad news, but this kid was better. He reported bad news but not good news. It was really fast to get into the role!

But now is not the time to talk about this. Wu Chong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please change your clothes and accept the congratulations from the ministers."

When Zhao Xu changed into court clothes and walked from the back of the palace to the throne, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums in Bianjing City, and the sound of mountains outside Xuande Gate had already been faintly transmitted into the palace.

Wu Chong read out the success documents of the commander-in-chief of the horse and infantry capital of Annan Road, Guo Kui, the military envoy of the road, the bachelor of the Zizheng Palace, and Su You, the minister of the Privy Council. Then he led his ministers to congratulate Zhao Xu on the safe south.

Zhao Xu summoned Su Ziyuan to the front of the palace: "The governor of Yongzhou, Lai Qing's father, is guarding the palace. He is as suave as Qin, and his integrity will be broken. Then the thieves will take advantage of the victory and rush forward. Guangxi and Xiang will not be protected."

"In the past, Zhang patrolled far away, and the Sui Yang covered the river and Huaihe River. Compared with Qingfu, it cannot be far away."

Then he ordered the inner government to provide gold and silver, expand the Su Min Temple in Yongzhou, and judge Tang Zizheng with the Yongzhou Tong who died heroically. Su Ziming, the second son of Su Min, was his companion.

The monument of loyalty and righteousness after death is placed in the common people's tombs outside Yongzhou City.

Pardon the crime of ineffective prosecution at the beginning of the war between the Guangnan West Road and Zhuzhou armies.

Dismiss Annan Road Economics and discuss the general manager of the capital, Jinghu South Road Xuanfu Division.

The troops and horses were in camp, except for a small number who stayed for defense, and then returned to the country.

Households passing through thieves' houses, rural households, and those who lost their jobs because they were avoiding thieves, or the families of murdered peasants, will continue to be exempted from tax.

Those who have been killed by thieves and are left alone and poor, unable to survive on their own, will be given daily rice by the army of the state where they live.

Now that Jiaozhidu has become a land of one road, Jisizhou and Guangyuan have also been upgraded to Zhengzhou and renamed Shunzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhi Road.

He summoned Guo Kui and Su You to compile detailed battle reports, and the officials and officials heard about their meritorious service, and the imperial court prepared awards.

Orders were immediately sent to the Jiaozhi County King Li Qiande and the Li Dynasty clan, the rebel leader Li Changjie, and the senior Jiaozhi generals who participated in the invasion, as well as war criminals such as the Houdang Party and the Eunuch Party to go to Beijing.

The vassal state of Jiaozhi was abolished and classified as Jiaozhi Road. The Jiaozhi Road Transfer and Appeasement Department was established, the Penal and Prison Department was promoted, and the Changping Department was promoted.

He appointed Crown Prince Shaobao Su You as the transportation envoy to Jiaozhi Road, and agreed to his request. As a local official in Jiaozhi, he continued to take charge of state and county affairs.

According to the fact that Li Yue Dynasty liked to use Fujian officials as officials, and Jiaozhi people were also accustomed to being managed by Fujian people, they agreed to Su You's request and encouraged officials from Fujian and Guangnan Dongxi Road to serve as local officials in Jiaozhi, and the court would reward them, such as He was promoted to the first level of conferment.

Fu Lidao, the prince of Jiaozhi County, was appointed as Taichang Shaoqing, and Jiaozhi Road was responsible for some criminal and prison affairs.

Li Wensheng, the king and prime minister of Jiaozhi County, was appointed as Youzhengyan, and Chang Pingcang envoy was promoted to Jiaozhi Road.

He ordered Su You, the envoy of the Jiaozhi Road Transfer Bureau, to rectify all matters on the Jiaozhi Road, organize Jiaozhi books, land and land account books, population books, history, geography, and customs.

Summon Su You to carry out the emperor's orders, exempt Jiaozhi from taxes for three years, reduce prison terms, and pardon slaves.

Agreeing to Suyou's request, the Municipal Shipping Department was established at the mouth of Yuanjiang River, responsible for improving Cochin's economy and restoring people's livelihood through Tibetan trade.

As for the generals and civilian officials who have made meritorious service in this battle, they will be rewarded after the court receives detailed battle reports.
