Tang Yin still admired these Zhen people who wanted to stay in Zhen to resist the Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan kingdoms. He did not force them to join the Feng Kingdom, nor did he kill them. Instead, he gave them a lot of gold and silver.
Let them go quietly.()
In doing so, he actually intended to create trouble for the four kingdoms of Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan, so that even if they occupied Zhendi, they would not be able to live in peace.
Hundreds of Zhenjun generals decided to defect to the Feng Kingdom. More than 400,000 of the 500,000-strong Zhenjun army were lured to the Feng Kingdom. Plus the families of these soldiers, together they amounted to more than 2 million.
The Zhen people went with the Feng army and retreated to the Feng Kingdom.
As the Feng and Yu armies withdrew from the Zhen Kingdom, the population of Zhen Di dropped sharply again. At this time, many villages and towns in Zhen Di had been turned into open spaces, and the population migrated northward on a large scale.
In the battle to destroy Zhen, although the Feng Kingdom did not occupy an inch of land, the number of Zhen Kingdom people it gained was an astronomical number, and there were 400,000 Zhen Kingdom Central Army soldiers among them. It can be said that the benefits gained by the Feng Kingdom were not
Less than the four countries of Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan. In terms of short-term benefits, it is much greater than the four countries.
Tang Yin led the Feng army and took Zhenren to the Huan Kingdom, entered the Jade Kingdom, and then passed through the five counties of Mobei and entered the Feng Kingdom.
By the time the large group of troops arrived in Yancheng, it was already two months later. This time Tang Yin led his army back in triumph. Yin Zhun did not need to be reminded by others, and he took the initiative to go out of the city to greet him.
The coalition forces destroyed the Zheng Kingdom and killed Li Hong, who proclaimed himself emperor. As the puppet emperor, he was able to continue his work. Naturally, he was filled with joy and sincerely welcomed Tang Yin's return.
He did not let Tang Yin return to the palace, but directly invited him into the palace. In the main hall of the palace, a banquet had been arranged. Not only the ministers of the imperial court were there, but also Queen Yatong and Princess Yinrou were present.
At the banquet, Yin Zhen, who was in a good mood, seemed very excited. He toasted to Tang Yin from time to time and praised the allied forces for their battle to destroy Zhen.
Tang Yin didn't care about Yin Zhun's attitude, but when he saw that Yin Rou was also smiling and her eyes drifted towards him from time to time, his mood was also quite high. It was rare for him to open up the conversation in the imperial court and talk about what happened when he conquered Zhen.
Some interesting stories and insights.
The atmosphere in the hall was lively and harmonious, and everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the banquet.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something and asked someone to fetch a brocade box. Holding it with one hand, he walked directly to Yin Zhun's long book case and placed the brocade box on the table.
, said: "Your Majesty, this is the gift I brought back from Zhenguo."
"Oh?" Yin Zhen became interested, reached out and pulled the brocade box in front of her, opened the lid, and took a look inside. It turned out that the box contained a crystal clear and finely carved jade seal.
Tang Yin explained: "Your Majesty, this is the national seal of the Zhen Kingdom. Back then, the late emperor divided the Zhen Kingdom and gave it the jade seal. Now that the Zhen Kingdom has been destroyed, the jade seal will naturally be returned to your majesty!"
Ah! It turns out that this is the jade seal of Zhenguo! Although Yin Zhun is the emperor, he has never seen the jade seal of Zhenguo. With trembling hands, he took the jade seal out of the brocade box, looked at it for a while, and then slowly put it down.
, Youyou said: "Li Hong was rebellious and he deserved this fate. It's a pity that it was his own fault that ruined the Zhen Kingdom and wasted all the hard work of the late emperor." As he spoke, he put the jade seal in his hands.
He put it back into the brocade box, handed it to the female official on the side, and said, "Seal the national seal of Zhenguo."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" the female officer agreed, holding the jade seal in her hands, and stepped back quickly.
Yin Zhun turned to look at Tang Yin and said with a smile: "Ai Qing has made great achievements in defeating Zhen this time. I will reward you heavily!"
Tang Yin secretly smiled in his heart, "Reward me? What can you reward me with?" All the gold and silver in the palace were not given to him by himself!
He smiled slightly and said: "Serve Your Majesty, and I won't ask for rewards if I conquer you!" As he spoke, he turned around, faced outside the palace, and clapped his hands.
With a crisp sound, two guards walked in from the outside, and at the same time they also brought in a large box. When the lid of the box was opened, the golden light inside suddenly reflected time. The ministers around took a closer look, okay, the box was full of
Gold and silver utensils, jewelry and jade.
Tang Yin smiled slightly and said loudly: "My lords, you have done great service in assisting the emperor. These treasures are all trophies obtained by me when I conquered the Zhen Kingdom. Please share them among your lords!"
Hearing this, all the ministers present beamed with joy, stood up from their seats, raised their hands and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Feng!"
Yin Zhun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he was sitting on the dragon chair. He thought it was really rare that Tang Yin didn't hide his secrets and was willing to take out the captured gold, silver and jewels and distribute them to the ministers of the court.
But Yatong, who was sitting next to him, frowned and shook his head secretly. Tang Yin was just a prince of a country, so what qualifications did he have to reward the ministers of the imperial court in the court? If things went on like this, wouldn't the ministers only remember Tang Yin's kindness?
Forgot the favor of the Emperor? Tang Yin's doing this is at least arrogant and has no regard for the Emperor; at worst, it can be regarded as ulterior motives and treason.
Although Yatong was the queen, she did not dare to reprimand Tang Yin on the spot. Even if she was dissatisfied, she could only endure it. She turned to look at Yin Zhun and saw that the latter did not realize that there was anything wrong with Tang Yin's actions at all. She couldn't help but feel
I sighed silently in my heart.
When it was almost evening, the banquet came to an end. Yin Zhun, who was very drunk, was helped by the maid to go back to the palace to rest. Tang Yin was also drunk and sent Yin Rou back to the harem without hesitation.
On the way to the harem, Tang Yin looked at Yin Rou's slender and well-proportioned body, delicate and beautiful, and flawless face, and couldn't help feeling palpitated. He held Yin Rou's catkins and walked side by side with her.
His bold move startled Yin Rou, she looked around subconsciously, and instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but Tang Yin held it tightly, and she couldn't pull it out after two attempts. Her face turned red and she drooped.
I can only let him go.
Seeing her shy look, Tang Yin felt itchy in his heart. He subconsciously held her hand tighter and asked, "Rou'er, I've been away for so long, do you miss me?"
Yin Rou looked at him strangely. Tang Yin was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You have never asked me like this before." Yin Rou said truthfully.
Tang Yin was startled, yes, he couldn't say such disgusting words before, but now he can say it so calmly in front of Yin Rou, which only shows that his feelings for her have only increased.
He smiled bitterly and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Yin Rou responded casually: "I have an idea." Just read a book}}
Tang Yin pulled her to a stop, deliberately frowned, and asked, "Is it just a thought?"
Seeing how serious he looked, Yin Rou couldn't help but giggle and said, "Okay, I miss you every day, so that's okay!"
Tang Yin's eyes crooked, he raised his hand, gently scratched her face, and said: "Tomorrow, I will take you to the treasury. There are many treasures seized from Zhenguo this time. Go and pick some."
like."
Yin Rou was not very interested in things like gold, silver, and jewelry, but it would be nice to visit Tang Yin's palace. She smiled and asked casually: "Take me to the palace, your ladies won't
Are you jealous?"
Tang Yin said leisurely: "They will not be jealous of the future princess!"
When Yin Rou heard this, her face immediately turned red and she muttered in a low voice: "Who promised to marry you?"
"If you don't marry me, wouldn't Her Highness Princess be unable to marry for the rest of her life?" Tang Yin looked up and laughed.
Yin Rou's face turned redder and she punched Tang Yin's arm hard with her fist.
Tang Yin sent Yin Rou back to Huaying Palace and sat there for a while. It was already dark. Even if he didn't want to leave, he had to leave. If he didn't leave so late, it would damage Yin Rou's reputation.
In the next few days, the affairs of Feng Country became busy again. Millions of Zhen people need to be resettled. Where should they be resettled? How much land should each household be allocated? How to integrate Zhen people into Feng people as soon as possible?
To integrate into Feng Country, these must be dealt with as soon as possible.
In addition, arranging the Zhen army in this way is also a problem. There are 400,000 Zhen soldiers, and they are organized into systems. If they are broken up, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers, and will also cause suspicion. If they are retained,
It is really uneasy to have an army with so many people and such a powerful force.
Tang Yin specially came to Qiu Zhen to ask what he meant. After hearing Tang Yin's doubts, Qiu Zhen was happy and said, "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this?"
"If you have any good ideas, please tell me!"
Qiu Zhen asked back: "The combat power of the Zhen Army is comparable to that of our country's Pingyuan Army. Such a powerful army will naturally be deployed in our country's weakest place. Your Majesty, tell me, where is our country's weakest place now?"
Tang Yin thought for a while and said: "The South! The five counties of Mobei are directly facing Mo State, and the pressure there is also the greatest."
"That's right!" Qiu Zhen said: "The five counties in the north of Mo are the top priority. They can not only isolate the country of Mo from directly sending troops to our country, but also are the base camp for our country to attack the country of Mo from the south. We must not make any mistakes and send 400,000 people to the country.
The Zhen army is deployed in the five counties of Mobei, which can ensure that the five counties have no worries!"
Really? Tang Yin shook his head and said: "You also said that the five counties of Mobei are the top priority. If the Zhen army is deployed there, what will happen if something changes?"
Qiu Zhen smiled leisurely and said: "To prevent the Zhenjun from changing, it is very simple. Just place the Zhenjun's family members near Yancheng. For other Zhenren people who moved north, the king can place them in various places in our country, but
The family members of Zhenjun must be placed near the capital. As long as these family members of Zhenjun are firmly controlled, Zhenjun will never change, and they will work wholeheartedly for the king."
"Yes!" When Tang Yin heard this, he felt enlightened. He nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes! This is a good idea! However, the villages and towns around Yancheng cannot accommodate these more than one million Zhen.
Military families!”
Qiu Zhen said: "Since the capital already has an acropolis, Wancheng, why can't there be another acropolis?"
