Shen He announced the conferment of the title on the third prince Yang Yuanpu and everyone, and the entire ceremony of receiving the decree was over.
Shen He was also very weak. If he read out the imperial edict of two to three thousand words word for word, his body might not be able to bear it.
How the Hunan Xingtai will operate in the future, how the Dragon Bird Army and the various state battalions will be reorganized, and how the meritorious generals will be rewarded with land and houses in addition to official titles, these specific and subtle matters will need to be further discussed by everyone, and then the Hunan Xingtai Shangshu will be An edict was issued in the name of the province.
That night, everyone indulged in a luxurious and exciting celebration banquet. For a while, the lights were bright, the lights were green, the jade was like flowers, and it was intoxicating.
Shen He felt unwell and had already arranged to take a rest, but this did not affect the high spirits of others at all.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and the guests returned home after enjoying themselves. Han Qian, drunkenly, returned to his residence with Xi Yong's support.
Shen He did not come with the decree, but after the news came from Jinling that the third prince had conferred the titles of Tanzhou and Hunan Xingtai Shangshu, Tanzhou began to prepare for the establishment of the Xingtai Shangshu Province and the reorganization of the Longque Army.
Today, the Jiedushi Mansion was officially replaced with a plaque bearing the title of Hunan Xingtai Shangshu Province. Han Qian and Shen Yang also moved out of the Jiedushi Mansion a few days ago and lived in their own residences in the city.
Han Qian's Consulting Army Mansion is located next to Prince Tan's Mansion.
This was originally the residence where Ma Yuanheng lived in Tanzhou when he was the magistrate of Changsha County. It covers an area of about 13,4 acres. Although it cannot be compared with the Prince Tan's Mansion, it has overlapping courtyards, seventy or eighty houses, and a two-story building. The garden, which is as large as an acre, is elegant and luxurious.
Zhao Ting'er and others also came from Wuling and Hanshou to join Han Qian and moved into this newly acquired mansion.
"I haven't felt very well the past two days. Why did I come back so drunk today?" Zhao Ting'er also stayed up until late at night. She walked out coquettishly to help Xi Rong, helped Han Qian into the bedroom, and ordered the maid to bring warm water and serve him. He washes up.
"You have a cup and I have a cup, and we take turns to drink each other. Don't you think you've drunk too much? He brewed a wild goose spring, but he didn't forget to harm himself as well." Xi Rong said.
At this time, the melancholy sound of the xun was heard from the west courtyard.
Feng Liao is the only one in this courtyard who likes to play the xun.
"Feng Liao hasn't rested yet?" Han Qian asked.
"I don't know what kind of nerves I have, so I invited several people over to drink, and they made noises for a long time, and played the broken xun for half a night. If he didn't rest, I would call Wuji to grab his broken xun and smash it. , making others in the house unable to sleep?" Zhao Ting'er said arrogantly.
Han Qian laughed, washed his face and sobered up a little. He was not in a hurry to go to sleep. He followed the sound of the xun and walked towards the west courtyard where Feng Liao lived. He saw that the banquet in the courtyard had not been dispersed yet. Zhou Chu , Zhao Jicheng, Zhao Qi, Du Yijun, Du Yiming, Du Qiniang, Du Jiuniang and Kong Xirong and other "rebellious ministers and rebellious sons" were listening to Feng Liao playing the xun and were intoxicated.
A concubine whom Feng Liao brought to Tanzhou to serve him was also listening intently, holding a wine flask in his hand.
"Your xun blowing hurts people's hearts and fills them with resentment!" Han Qian stood under a crabapple tree and looked at Feng Liao and said.
Han Qian also learned to play the xun, but he was not as melancholy and obsessed as Feng Liao.
"Sir!" At this time, everyone woke up and crowded around in panic to salute Han Qian.
"His Royal Highness was granted the title of King of Tan, and your Excellency was officially granted the title of Consultant to join the military. We were happy and put up a table in the garden.
I had a private banquet to celebrate, but I never thought that the master had already returned home..." Feng Liao put away the Tao Xun and explained.
"I'm sorry, I'll thank God if you don't go out of the house to play this sad sound." Han Qian waved his hand, sat behind the case, and motioned to Feng Liao's concubine to remove the dishonorable cups in front of the case, and signaled to everyone.
Sit down and talk.
As the lowly leader of the bandit village, Yang Qin, together with Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji, Fan Xicheng, Ji Fu, Ji Xiyao and others, could break away from the lowly status by performing meritorious services, be awarded official titles, and build their own mansions.
Even members of the Xi clan, such as Xi Chang and Xi Fa'er, who were sold into slavery in their early years, have long since shed their slave status. Even if they are still serving Han Qian, they still have official status as military attachés.
However, Kong Xirong, Du Yijun, Du Yiming and even Zhao Qi, who were invited by Feng Liao to attend the private banquet, were rebellious ministers of Da Chu who rebelled against the party or were rebellious ministers' heirs. After being demoted to slaves, it was difficult for them to achieve great achievements no matter how great their achievements were.
Turn over.
In the sieges of Nanpo Village, Jiming Village, Chenyang City, Yuanling City and even Wuling City, Kong Xirong was the first to ascend the armor and participated in the bloodiest and most brutal siege battles, accumulating more than 70 levels of beheadings, but
However, his military merit of "killing a hundred men" can only be shared among other generals and cannot be attributed to him.
Feng Liao was meritorious in his planning and was mainly responsible for assisting Han Qian in organizing the large and small affairs of the labor camp. Zhao Qi was selected by Han Qian as the commander of the Wuling Army's whirlwind artillery battalion. Du Yijun and Chen Jitang were specifically responsible for the operation of the iron smelting yard and armor workshop. The other Du
The three siblings and Zhao Ting'er were responsible for maintaining the medical camp. They all made great achievements in the war to reduce the vassal state, but when it came to the actual discussion of military achievements, they did not have a share.
The Wuling Army was dismantled first. In addition to sending some serious illnesses and injuries to Xuzhou for treatment, Han Qian also disbanded the work camp, cyclone artillery camp and medical battalion, as if these had never existed.
After all, Emperor Tianyou is not a magnanimous person.
Over the years, Emperor Tianyou conquered the north and south and destroyed countless opponents. After the war, he had strict standards for how to deal with the remaining enemy forces, including recruitment, bloody purges, and suppression.
Enemy generals such as Zhang Han, Gao Long, and Miao Yong who voluntarily surrendered before the decisive battle and actively performed meritorious services will most likely receive preferential treatment, but those enemy generals who were captured after the city fell or had to surrender after the situation was lost,
And the treacherous ministers who are convicted of treason will probably not end well.
Even if these people were not directly purged in blood at that time, they would be relegated to another book for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Chu and Zhao Jicheng were the rebellious surrender officials who were captured after the Wuling city was broken. They were quite lucky to have escaped death this time.
Ma Yuanheng did not escape death; Ji Zhongqi imprisoned Ma Yin, and Ma Xun and his son presented Yueyang City. Although they were not killed, and they were even made marquis after entering Jinling, they were detained in Jinling and put under house arrest. Will he survive to die of old age?
It also depends on the mood of Emperor Tianyou.
In today's great Chu, Emperor Tianyou is the rule. How can Han Qian dare to ask for credit from Feng Liao, Kong Xirong and the others if he has nothing to do?
In order to avoid suspicion, Han Qian even tried his best to prevent them from showing up in places where the third prince was.
The joy that filled the city today had nothing to do with Feng Liao and the others. On the contrary, it made them feel unusually depressed and distressed.
All this is revealed from the Xun sound played by Feng Liao.
Han Qian had nothing to comfort them, so he did not mention the matter, but told everyone the news that was further confirmed after Shen He arrived in Tanzhou, and said: "After the establishment of the Xingtai, the first thing to consider is to deal with the remnants of the Yongzhou rebels.
In order to carry out the clean-up, if you have some spare time to drink and play xun, you should come up with a specific clean-up plan as soon as possible."
"Jinling was slaughtered with heads rolling to the ground. Zhao Sheng, Luo Jia and other thieves have completely given up any hope of surrender. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight!" Feng Liao said with emotion.
Han Qian smiled bitterly. If Emperor Tianyou only destroyed the Ma clan, they could still do their best and send people into Yongzhou to persuade Zhao Sheng. Luo Jia's generals would surrender and join him. However, the rebels they escorted to Jinling this time were not
One person escaped the liquidation, and the middle- and lower-level officials and captured generals who stayed in Tanzhou were all sentenced to surrender or sent to hard labor camps. As a result, the two rebels Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia who fled to Yongzhou, not to mention the middle- and high-level rebels,
I am afraid that the generals and junior military attachés are not willing to surrender.
Emperor Tianyou's killing spree may have effectively deterred Xu Mingzhen, Du Chongtao and even King Xin Yang Yuanyan from daring to act rashly, but at the same time it also forced Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia, who had extremely low morale, to become rebels.
The trapped beasts with no way out were reunited into a group.
Now if we want to capture the two rebel armies of Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia, after the Dragon Bird Army enters Yongzhou, they may encounter fierce resistance every step they take.
What's more, they still don't know the attitude of the Qingyuan Army in the south and the Nanhai King Liu Yin.
"It's difficult to fight, so you can draw up a plan tomorrow according to the worst plan." Han Qian ordered.
It was already dark today, and Han Qian and Zhou Bapi had to let everyone get over their drunkenness and wait until their minds were clear tomorrow to discuss military matters.
Han Qian stood up and asked Zhou Chu and Zhao Jicheng: "Are there any inconveniences for you to stay in this mansion?"
Zhou Chu was born into a poor family, but he was brave and resourceful. He was selected as a rural soldier in his early years, and he performed well in catching thieves, and was appointed as a minor official. He was not promoted to Wuling County Lieutenant until he was forty years old. He was also one of Ma Rong's deputy generals when he defended Wuling City.
one.
Zhao Jicheng was a scholar from Tanzhou, and he was younger than Zhou Chu.
These two people helped Ma Rong defend Wuling City and created a lot of troubles and obstacles for Wuling Army and Longque Army to attack the city. However, these two people had excellent official conduct when they served in Wuling. They were among the few who could work diligently and love the people.
He did not exploit local officials and was extremely talented.
When escorting the rebels to Jinling for trial, Han Qian asked the third prince for mercy and removed them from the list of escorting the rebels. At this time, they and their children were demoted to slavery, and Han Qian did not send them to hard labor.
Instead, he was sent to the government to serve.
In comparison, the Wuling County Magistrate and County Magistrate were not so lucky. They, their relatives, and their children were all taken to Jinling for trial and executed.
Zhou Chu and Zhao Jicheng may be indifferent to personal life and death, but they still have lingering fears when they think of the horrific scene of their wife, children, old and young children with their heads rolling around. How can they complain if they can live peacefully in Han Qian's house at this time?
Han Qian stood in the courtyard and motioned for others to go first. When he was about to leave at the end, he seemed to have accidentally said to Feng Liao who was standing behind him to say goodbye: "Master Shen He said that His Majesty is slightly ill..."
Feng Liao was slightly startled. Just as he was thinking about the meaning of Han Qian's words, Han Qian gave another instruction and walked out of the courtyard: "Shen He and Lord Shen took a boat to Tanzhou to announce the decree. He is a little unaccustomed to the acclimatization and is not feeling well. I said
If you want to help him diagnose and treat him, you can help me pick up Shen He and Master Shen tomorrow and come over to talk..."
Hearing what Han Qian said, Feng Liao was even more startled.
If Han Qian really wanted to invite Shen He over, Xi Faer or Lin Zongjing would be more suitable than him, the son of a rebel, to come forward with someone. Could it be that Shen He's physical discomfort is related to Tianyou's accidental illness? Han Qian wanted him to observe Shen at close range.
crane?
Feng Liao is also a very smart person. After a while, he has figured out what Han Qian means. After all, Han Qian told him that An Ning Palace and King Xin will not be peaceful, so poisoning is undoubtedly a concealed and effective method...
