"I have asked Wang Wenqian to take Gu Mei away. Next, I will send people to sort out other officials in the government and the public who have ties to Chuzhou besides Jing Xiang. Now Zuo Si has these three thousand cakes of gold to lay the foundation for many tasks. It won't stop." Han Qian dragged Feng Yi and Kong Xirong to see the third prince, and first told the truth about Gu Mei.
"Since I rewarded Gu Mei to you, the gold my second brother used to ransom people will be your reward. I will urge Mr. Shen to dispose of the military supplies advanced by Zuo Si." Yang Yuanpu said.
"There are so many things that His Highness has to do that require money and money, and to make the generals use their lives, both iron whip and honey are indispensable. It is enough for Han Qian to gain His Highness's favor at this time. Regarding the matters of the farm and house, , Your Highness will never treat Han Qian unkindly in the future." Han Qian said righteously and fiercely.
Han Qian felt a little regretful in his heart. After all, he could control 30 million more money and he could do more things. But whether Emperor Tianyou had another spy watching Linjiang Money Shop's every move, or he couldn't accomplish this great feat this time. Summoned, Han Qian knew very well that he had to be careful in dealing with Emperor Tianyou's very clear warning at this time.
Although he could foresee that the conflicts with Anning Palace and the Prince's family would become more acute, and the direction of history would become more unpredictable, Han Qian's mood was far less impatient than before the war.
During the bloody battle in Xichuan, Han Qian's state of mind changed a lot.
In addition to the cruelty and tragedy of the bloody battle in Xichuan, Han Qian still cannot bear to think about it. At the same time, it is also such a cruel and tragic bloody battle that he has endured, and he has become more prepared for the cruel and severe situation he will face in the future. Calm and calm.
As the saying goes, bloody battles produce strong soldiers. Han Qian had a deeper understanding of this sentence from his own changes in mood.
Han Qian thought that since Emperor Tianyou didn't like his eccentric character, there was nothing wrong with him cultivating himself for a period of time.
Yang Yuanpu had no idea where Han Qian's thoughts were going. He was a little regretful that Han Qian saw through Gu Mei's value but did not detain her, but then he put this idea aside and said, "I went to see my father yesterday. My father has already agreed to all matters in Junzhou, and the edict will be issued as soon as tomorrow. Junzhou will have four new military offices in Jingzikou, Xichuan, Canglang, and Jingyun. When the time comes, they will follow them, Ying The families of the rebel soldiers from the two states, as well as some military households that could not be accommodated at the Taowu gathering camp, were all transferred to Junzhou to fill the military mansion. It is indeed necessary to add a large amount of additional money and food."
"Oh, it's a good thing that Your Majesty agreed so readily." Han Qian responded.
Han Qian's initial plan was to reset Junzhou so that the third prince could lead it from a distance.
During the Jingxiang War, Shen He brought Emperor Tianyou's imperial edict to Xichuan and formally agreed to the matter.
However, after the Liang army withdrew to the north of Tongbai Mountain, Han Qian reconsidered the severe situation faced by Jingxiang and suggested that the third prince should not rush to build counties under Junzhou for the time being, but instead build four new military headquarters. The farming situation that combined farming and war consolidated the border defense and at the same time strengthened their control over Junzhou.
Yang Yuanpu talked about the situation of meeting the emperor yesterday. Four new garrison military mansions were built in Junzhou. Li Zhigao concurrently commanded the Xichuan Military Command, and Zhou Shu concurrently commanded the Jingzikou Military Command. The captain of the Canglang Military Prefecture, another Shanzhai general representative Chen Jingzhou, also served as the captain of the Jingyun Military Prefecture. In fact, he entrusted the military affairs of the four newly established counties under Junzhou to the military governor. In one body.
By moving some of the family members of the rebel soldiers from Sui and Ying to Junzhou, plus the households who fled from the village and some military households who moved from Taowu, the four newly built military buildings in Junzhou were planned to be able to accommodate 30,000 military households.
On average, one-third of the generals will be maintained for garrison duty, and Junzhou will also have 10,000 standing soldiers and horses garrisoned.
This will solve Junzhou's daily defense needs facing Wuguan and Liangjun.
Not only Junzhou, Du Chongtao also needed to establish an effective defense line in the northern part of the Nanyang Basin to resist Liang Jun's southward attack. In Dengzhou and even Xiangzhou, he also needed to build more new garrison military offices for farming, warfare and farming, so that it would be possible to alleviate the pressure on the west flank. Military pressure can also prevent the empire's already precarious finances from being overwhelmed by the new defense needs of the west wing.
"Your Majesty is wise, but there are four new military palaces in Junzhou, and there are too many places where money and food are needed. Your Highness has to rely on Mr. Shen Yang to plan the strategy." Han Qian said.
Four new military garrison buildings were built in Junzhou, and the Duzhi Envoy Division would allocate an additional amount of money and food for the construction of the city, the reclamation of wasteland, and the daily supply of money and food, but it was unlikely to be particularly sufficient.
Similarly, military households under the military government have to bear extremely heavy military service, and land taxes must be lenient. In addition, rewards for casualty generals must be rewarded. Even if they cannot get the money, they must be rewarded with acres of land and reduce field taxes. In the first two years, the Don't expect much harvest from the newly established military mansion.
At this time, even if the Wanhonglou and Xinchang Hou Mansion still have money and food to squeeze out, they will use it to strengthen the soldiers and horses under their direct control. Li Zhigao, Guo Liang, Gao Chengyuan, Zhou Pan, and Chen Jingzhou will need the Dragon Bird Army. Internal financing and turnover.
Even if there was some military resources left this time, plus the rewards that the third prince would receive, Han Qian suggested giving them to Shen Yang for planning and control.
Rewards for generals, especially those for low-level officers and military attachés, shall be decided by the Longque Army itself and shall be notified to the Ministry of War.
The reward and award of military commanders, in addition to the blank stipulations given before, also requires the approval of the Privy Council, which is relatively complicated. However, with the exception of Han Qian, there will be no obstacles for others. Just have to wait a little longer.
The prisoners and slaves in the Xuzhou camp can almost all be exempted from prison terms or freed from slavery based on merit based on their heads. In addition, they can almost all be rewarded with one or two hundred acres of land, but the land rewards need to be received from Xuzhou. If you pull the equipment from the official field, the Duzhi Envoy will only allocate an additional five million yuan as a reward.
This part of the reward money was to be given to the generals individually. Han Qian was also prepared to give as much money as possible to the families of the fallen in the war except for the fields, but he had no way to give it generously to the third prince for other expenses.
After discussing the matter with the third prince, the night was already dark, and Han Qian did not spend time with Feng Yi or Kong Xirong anymore, and returned to the house alone.
At this time, Xi Rong had just returned from settling Yun Niang in her new house, and brought the other two girls rewarded by the third prince to see Han Qian.
These two girls are the daughters of Du Rong, a medical officer in Yingzhou. One of the two girls is fifteen years old, and the other is younger, only thirteen years old. Under the candlelight, they seem to be fair and pretty.
Xia Shuang, the governor of Yingzhou, presented the city. As a medical officer, Du Rong had no ability to resist except being a subordinate.
When the Liang army retreated north, Xia Shuang led more than 3,000 surrendered troops and tribesmen to follow him and fled to the north of Tongbai Mountain. Du Rong and some officials were initially coerced and fled north. On the way, he took his family and fled back to Yingzhou. I thought that in the end, I was caught by the bodyguards and executed by beheading.
Du Rong's family members were either relegated to official slave labor or relegated to prostitute camps as prostitutes. Because Yunying was unmarried and dignified and beautiful, the Ge sisters were singled out as beauties and rewarded to the third prince. They were also rewarded with his house.
inside.
When he learned that these two girls were the seventh and ninth sisters in the family, and their maiden names were Du Qiniang and Du Jiuniang, Han Qian thought that he couldn't call two yellow-haired girls "mother" all day long, so he said: "You guys
From now on, one of the people who will serve me will be named Qiqi and the other Jiujiu." He then asked Xi Rong, "Have their families arranged for someone to redeem them?"
"Master Gao, Master Yang has gone to take the young master's name card. Qiniang and Jiuniang's two sisters-in-law have already taken it. It's just that it's too hard and they haven't recovered. They'll wait two days before calling over to see them.
Young Master. In addition, their mother, second brother and younger brother have all been demoted to the hard labor camp in Fancheng. Master Gao is crossing the river to take care of things at this time and has not come back yet."
When Han Qian heard what Xi Rong said, he knew that Du Rong's two daughters-in-law must have been demoted to a prostitute camp and treated badly. He sighed slightly and looked at the two little girls. He must have just talked to his two sisters-in-law.
I was holding my head in pain and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Gao Shao, Yang Qin and others came back from outside and brought back three people. They looked at Du Qiniang. Du Jiuniang's face suddenly frowned with sadness. She wanted to cry but did not dare to cry. Then she knew that the old woman was Du Rong's wife.
The two young men who were beaten and bloody were Du Rong's two sons.
Nowadays, the three princes are very popular in Xiangzhou City, and it is very convenient for people like Gao Shao to go out to do business.
Han Qian asked about Du Rong's second son, Du Yijun, and his youngest son, Du Yiming, and said: "You have completely forgotten what happened before. You must not hold any resentment in your heart. At least, don't show it to me on your face, otherwise
I can't tolerate you staying here. And as long as you work well by my side, I won't treat you badly."
The Ge family just knelt down and kowtowed to express gratitude.
Although they had only been questioned for a month, this month seemed like they had gone through hell.
Gao Shao stood next to him and said: "Yunniang's brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and younger brother have all been redeemed. Do you want to summon them to see me?"
From now on, these people will be regarded as slaves of the Han family, and logically they will all come to see the young master.
"It's already so late, there's no need to bother them." Han Qian waved his hand and asked Xi Rong to lead the Ge family to the backyard to settle down, and then asked Gao Shao to call Lin Haizheng and Feng Xuan over to discuss the matter.
This time, the Zuosi scouts, Xuzhou camp and the boat gang all suffered extremely heavy casualties.
After Zuo Si Scout, the Xuzhou Battalion and the boat gang recruited some of the village recruits and the escorts of the Yingzhou grain transport fleet, they once had more than a thousand people, but in the end only less than 600 people survived, including more than a hundred
Severely disabled.
Among them, the Xi clan had a maximum number of 150 people, but now there are only about 70 people left.
"The transaction with Wang Wenqian is being watched by His Highness. I am not afraid that they dare to deny it. I will get the first batch of gold tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will arrange for the prisoners and slaves to return to Xuzhou first - Yang Qin, Feng Xuan, you can go first
Set off to Tanzhou to pick up a boat." Han Qian said.
The ships of the Xuzhou Ship Gang and the four surname fleets were all destroyed. Ji Xiyao could only build three or four fast sailing ships a year in Qianyang, Xuzhou. At present, the most convenient way is to go to Tanzhou to buy ships and ship the ships of the ship gang as quickly as possible.
Put the shelf up again.
After experiencing such a tragic war, most of the surviving convicts just wanted to return home safely. However, there were still some convicts who had been thieves in the past and did not think they could get more than a hundred acres of reward and just go home and be honest.
As a farmer, I still hope to follow Han Qianmou's family background.
In addition to the twenty shadow guards commanded by Zhao Wuji, mainly young men from the Xi family, Zuo Si's scouts still maintained fifty elites.
In addition to the young Xi clan who practiced the art of hiding and acted as shadow guards, there were fifty-six Xi clan members who survived after the war. Naturally, they would not disband, but would instead unite closely together.
The twenty-six clan members of the Xi clan will return to Xuzhou and build another village near the Yangtan Water Village with the land rewarded for their military merits. This will serve as a foothold for the Xi clan in Xuzhou. They will continue to redeem and gather the scattered Xi clan members in various places. Others
Of the thirty people, Han Qian organized twenty people into the boat gang and left ten people for Feng Xuan to serve as direct relatives, secretly helping Feng Xuan and Gao Bao control the four-surname fleet.
The boat gang also absorbed some prisoners and runaways from the cottage force who were willing to venture into the world. After the war, the number of armed guards was still barely maintained at about 150.
However, the boat gang will be responsible for transporting products from Xuzhou and Junzhou to Jinling in the future. Xuzhou and Junzhou are both strategic places on land and water. The boat gang's only 150 armed guards are no longer enough.
However, if the Boat Gang wants to carry out a new round of expansion, it will have to wait for Han Qian to take a breath before making long-term plans.
Among this group of convict soldiers in Xuzhou, more than 20 of them fought very bravely and received many military honors. In addition to serving their sentences, they were also awarded the title of Military Meritorious Officer.
These people can be regarded as breaking away from the civilian class in one fell swoop. In addition to the seventeen people who joined Zuo Si and the Boat Gang, there are more than ten people who follow Yang Qin, Feng Xuan and others after they return to Xuzhou. They can also be recommended to the state camp or state government to serve as low-level military positions or subordinate officials.
