The cavalry of the Fourth Division returned to Youzhou, and the soldiers of the Fuxing Rangers took more than 10 million to Huifengzhou. Even though Yang Dezheng promised them to take 20% of the captured money, they did not divide the money on the spot.
Instead, it was only when Yang Dezheng sent Peng Pai to lead the secret guards to cooperate with Chen Yao that they began to register and take back the seizures one by one. Then they carried the animal skin bags on their horses and approached Peng Pai and Chen Yao one by one.
After handing over a bag of gold, silver and jewelry and estimating the value, the soldiers of the Renaissance Rangers would only take away what belongs to them and what does not belong to them. Even if they are given more, they will not
If you want something that belongs to them, even if you give it less than one tael, they will still argue with you.
They stubbornly believed that the boss's property belonged to the boss, and their property belonged to them. They could not encroach on each other or take advantage of each other. A high-level celebration banquet was postponed for a whole time because of this incident.
One day, while the property was being collected, Yang Dezheng took Fan Long to the city gate building.
The three brothers of the Yang family, plus Fan Long, held a small celebration banquet in the city gate building. The four of them chatted while eating and drinking. "Come and raise a toast to General Fan Long for his triumphant return."
Glasses of wine mingling.
Fan Long could clearly feel the respect Yang Gui and Yang Xin had for him. Yang Dezheng treated him more like a friend.
During the banquet, Yang Gui and Yang Xin kept asking Chang Yuan about his experiences in the Liao Kingdom in the past few months. Fan Long also roughly explained his experiences in the Liao Kingdom. Regarding Zhou Dayong and Fan Long's sneak attack
After Zhongjing was settled, they all thought that the people in Tianjing New City were brave and talented people when they launched a surprise attack on Datong in Xijing.
When I heard that the Han people of Liao in the Liao Kingdom, after being liberated by the Fourth Division of Tianjing New City, either fought with the Liao people with swords, or took them to Tianjing New City and transferred to Ryukyu.
The three of them clapped their hands and applauded. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yang Dezheng handed the empty wine jar to Wang Xing and asked him to get more wine. By the way, he asked: "How is the damage to the Fuxing Rangers?" mentioned
After seeing the loss of the Fuxing Rangers, Fan Long's originally cheerful expression dimmed, and he lowered his head and said: "Nearly a thousand brothers died in the battle, and many of the brothers who followed me back are also more or less injured.
"
Yang Dezheng said with emotion: "They are all heroes, and the people of Fuxing Prefecture and Datong Prefecture will remember them. After this battle, give them a month's holiday so that they can spend time with their families. Those who don't have family members can
Take advantage of this opportunity to get married as soon as possible." Fan Long saluted Yang Dezheng respectfully and said, "Thank you so much, general. They have followed me for almost three years and have never rested. Sometimes, I feel ashamed in my heart.
."
Yang Guile said cheerfully: "We can no longer call him General Yang Dezheng from now on. Yang Dezheng is now a Tiger Marquis conferred by the imperial court, and he is also the chief military officer of Daizhou, Fengzhou and Shengzhou." Fan Long was stunned.
, staring at Yang Dezheng strangely, "Have you become a Marquis? Or are you the Chief of the Army?"
Yang Dezheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's just a false name." Fan Long clicked his lips and said thoughtfully: "I have made a great contribution this time, so you didn't get me any official position?" Fan Long himself
He didn't care about his official position, but he felt a little unhappy when he heard that Yang De was getting higher and higher as a political official, but he didn't have any official position.
Yang Dezheng laughed out loud and said: "If you want an official, just give it to you." Yang Dezheng glanced around Fan Long, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin, and said: "Now that Fuxing Pass is held, we can
I can live a peaceful life for a while. Kou Zhun and I have discussed the matter of dividing Fengzhou and establishing two prefectures. Sun Ji is currently taking care of it.
Now, the four of us get together to talk about the future issues of soldiers and horses in the two provinces. I plan to separate the revival infantry and revival rangers separately.
The Fuxing Infantry, officially renamed the Fuxing Army, is divided into infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, shield regiments, spear regiments, crossbow regiments, etc. The number of permanent personnel is 50,000, with Yang Gui as the chief general. The main responsibilities of the Fuxing Army are:
He is responsible for guarding Fuxing Pass.
The Revival Rangers, renamed the Rangers, are equipped with two war horses, one scimitar, one horizontal sword, one short spear, two crossbows, and a set of leather armor. The number of permanent personnel is 30,000, led by Fan
Long serves as the commander-in-chief.
The responsibility of the Rangers is to patrol the border between Fuxing Prefecture and Datong Prefecture. To ensure that thieves are not allowed to cause chaos in the two prefectures, and to prevent small groups of enemy troops from infiltrating. This includes annihilating some bandits and bandits within the two prefectures.
I will build three military cities at the three corners of the two provinces to provide the Ranger Army with a garrison. In addition, there is the Datong Army. The specific divisions are the same as the Fuxing Army. The number of permanent personnel is,
It is also 50,000, with Wang Gui as the commander.
The Datong Army will also become the first field army under my command, responsible for external operations." Fan Long didn't know much about these, and he had no intention of fighting for power. As long as he could lead troops to fight, he would be satisfied. Yang Gui said:
Yang Dezheng was a little dissatisfied with this division, "What about the Jin army?"
The Jin army showed great strength in this battle at Fuxingguan. Yang Dezheng revoked the designation of the Jin army, but he did not agree. Yang Dezheng seemed to have expected that someone would ask this question, and he said with a smile: "Jin army
The army will become a reserve force. When there is a war, the government soldiers, county soldiers, rural soldiers drawn from the two governments and the county governments under the two governments, as well as the determined soldiers and horses honed by the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, and others
The strong men who are willing to defend their homeland will form the Jin army.
Once there is a war, I will be the commander-in-chief. On weekdays, these people are grain farmers, vegetable farmers, businessmen, soldiers guarding the city, and government soldiers at all levels of government." Seeing that Yang Gui was still frowning, Yang Dezheng said.
He continued to explain helplessly: "The combined population of the two provinces is only about 1.6 million. With the tax revenue of the two provinces, it is already the limit to support 130,000 soldiers and horses. If there are more, then I can only
Went to search for people's fat and people's anointing.
Furthermore, this is still based on the situation of recruiting one out of ten. If more people are recruited, I am afraid that there will be no well-dressed men among the people." The two issues mentioned by Yang Dezheng are very realistic. Although Yang Gui
He was dissatisfied that Yang Dezheng had insulted the name of the Jin army, but he also did not want to see Yang Dezheng plundering the people's wealth.
Comparatively speaking, humiliating the name of the Jin army is already considered a light thing. Yang Gui could only grit his teeth and agreed with Yang Dezheng's statement. In fact, Yang Dezheng really couldn't afford more troops.
Is it? No, as long as Yang Dezheng is willing, Yang Dezheng has many ways to make money, and he can support more troops.
The reason why there is no large-scale conscription is to quickly develop the population. It is also to hide the strength. After hearing this, Yang Xin quit and shouted: "What about me?" Yang Xin rubbed his eyebrows and said with a bitter smile: "
Yang Xin, the heavy armored cavalry on your side is the top priority. I have already determined the number of the heavy armored cavalry.
In the days to come, all resources will be opened up to supply heavy armored cavalry. But the premise is that you must train qualified heavy armored cavalry as soon as possible." Yang Xingxin said, his face turned red, and he murmured: "I
I think so too! But your requirements are too high." Yang Dezheng sighed and said: "I will send Peng Pai to help you later, and I will also tell my mother to help you select people. In the Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdom,
, Tianjing New City, Dangxiang, I think it shouldn’t be too difficult to select 6,000 heavy armored cavalry candidates within the four kingdoms.
I will help you find the manpower as soon as possible. You must also improve your military literacy.
Then we can teach them." Yang Xin blushed and nodded. Selecting candidates for 6,000 heavy armored cavalry in the Four Kingdoms is more stringent than the selection of soldiers by the Song Dynasty. The selected people will also be stronger. Yes.
He said that according to Yang Dezheng's description, the heavy armored cavalry he selected were as precious as the Jinshi of the Song Dynasty.
The three people in the city gate building all saw that Yang Dezheng had high hopes for the heavy armored cavalry. The four people chatted in the city gate building for a day and a night, and finally arranged the deployment of all the troops in Fuxing Mansion and Datong Mansion, as well as the three armies.
location, number of people, focus, etc.
In the early morning of the next day, the four of them were very drunk and fell asleep in the city gate building. Peng Pai, holding an account book, quietly appeared in the city gate building and woke up Yang Dezheng. "
Master, we have finished counting. This time General Fan Long robbed property, mostly gold and silver. If converted into silver, it should be more than 20 million taels."
"Hiss~" Yang Dezheng rubbed his hungover and painful head and gasped. "So many?" It should be more than 60 million taels. Chen Dayong, the fourth division of Tianjing New City, took away more than 40 million taels.
Peng Pai said excitedly: "We still have to dig out the rewards for the soldiers."
Yang Dezheng pushed away the wine jar that had fallen on him, sat up, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, I have nearly 20,000 more upstarts under my command?"
Peng Pai nodded quickly. "Haha~" Yang Dezheng grinned and said, "Go and tell them to add one more month to the original one-month holiday."
Peng Pai asked blankly: "Why is this?" Yang Dezheng smiled mischievously: "We must give the soldiers a little more time to spend all their money. We must also let the merchants of the Song Dynasty see this.
Our two houses are rich."
Peng Pai frowned and exclaimed: "Doesn't that mean that all the money has been taken away by them?" Yang Dezheng smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand, you don't understand. Only by letting these businessmen see that we are rich can we
That’s why they will rush in all at once.”
"Then what?" "Then money begets money, endlessly." "How to make money?" Yang Dezheng glared at Peng Pai and cursed: "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you still planning to go into business?
"Peng Pai also realized that he had made a mistake and smiled dryly. Yang Dezheng stretched his waist. He was lying on the floor last night. It was inevitable that his body bones were a little uncomfortable, so he needed to move.
While he was moving, he continued to give instructions to Peng Pai, saying: "When you get the money, you have to spend it, and then use the money to make money. You go organize a group of craftsmen and start building more houses in Daizhou City and Shengzhou City.
A general like Fan Long, who works hard and has great achievements, should have his own house. Otherwise, when he gets old, he will not even have a place to belong to, which would be pitiful.
From now on, officials above the battalion level will be given a corresponding house to relieve their worries." Peng Pai's pupils shrank and he whispered: "Isn't that too generous?" Yang Dezheng rolled his eyes and said: "
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it."
Then, Yang Dezheng continued: "Send another ten million taels to Sun Yu and order him to quickly speed up the construction of the two governments. At the same time, after the busy farming season is over, let him recruit the people and give them money. Let the people,
The bridges and roads in the two prefectures were built and widened.
Schools in various prefectures, counties, towns and villages must also be built quickly. At the same time, money can also be used to recruit talents from the Song Dynasty in large quantities to serve in the two prefectures. Talents are not limited to scholars, craftsmen and other skilled people.
People can also be recruited. In our two provinces, there is no hierarchy between scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.
Anyone who can contribute to the construction of our two governments will be treated equally." Peng Pai stared and said in shock: "Master, by doing this, you are provoking Confucianism, and you will be hostile to Confucian people." Yang Dezheng ridiculed.
He smiled and said: "Bah, what is Confucianism? That group of people, do they deserve to be called Confucianism? It's just a smear on the face of the most holy teacher. Under the guise of being careless, he takes advantage of everything. It's okay.
Call it Confucianism.
Others regard them as treasures, but in my eyes, they are worse than shit." Peng Pai felt a cold sweat for Yang Qi in his heart. Provoking the entire Confucian school is more terrifying than provoking the entire Song Dynasty. I don't know who it is.
Give Yang Qi the courage.
Yang Dezheng seemed to have noticed Peng Pai's thoughts. He smiled cheerfully and said: "I will not do anything to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. In the future, wherever I govern, I will definitely let a hundred schools of thought contend. Let's talk about Tianjing New City.
That’s what they do, they still have a prime minister, I don’t have one here yet, eh!”
Peng Pai was also a scholar before. He felt that Yang Dezheng's heart-wrenching remarks made him tremble in his heart. They were really terrifying. Even more terrifying than leading troops in war. Seeing Peng Pai's fearful expression, Yang Dezheng waved his hand.
Let him go down.
Yang Gui had woken up a long time ago, but after hearing Yang Dezheng's heroic words, he quickly pretended to be asleep. He spent ten million taels in one breath without even blinking. Yang Gui has never seen such a person.
However, even if Zhao Heng, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, spent ten million taels, he would still be in pain for a long time.
Yang Gui didn't understand Yang Dezheng's method of making money by making money. But Yang Gui really saw Yang Dezheng's appearance of not caring about money. After Yang Dezheng washed himself, Yang Gui also 'awoke', and Yang Xin and Fan
The dragon has also woken up. The Renaissance Rangers' financial calculations have been completed, and it's time to officially hold a celebration banquet.
When Yang Dezheng brought Yang Gui and the others to Guancheng, Chen Yao had already prepared a celebration banquet. Yang Dezheng held a wine glass, explained some heroic speeches to the 40,000 troops, and then announced the start of the celebration banquet.
In an instant, Fuxing Pass turned into a sea of fine wine and food. The Fuxing Rangers were heroic. They not only drank and ate meat, but also sang and danced. Yang Dezheng also joined in and had fun with everyone.
A magnificent celebration banquet lasted for three full days. After three days and three nights of carnival.
Fuxingguan returned to peace again. Everyone began to get involved in a new round of busyness. After Yang Gui learned that Yang Dezheng wanted to spend a large amount of money, he immediately applied for a sum of money from Yang Dezheng. He was going to
On the basis of Fuxingguan, a section of city wall was built on the mountains on the north and south sides.
As long as this section of the city wall is formed, they will not have to worry about Liao troops sneak attacks from both wings if they invade again in the future. In fact, Yang Dezheng does not agree with the continued construction of the city wall. The role of the city wall has become somewhat subtle after the emergence of gunpowder.
. However, Yang Gui told Yang Dezheng that building the city wall would not cost the people.
It was a process of training and honing the willpower and sense of accomplishment of the soldiers. Yang Dezheng was convinced and happily gave Yang a large sum of money. Fan Long also received a sum of money, which he deserved.
of.
It was also Yang Dezheng's reward to Fan Long, without any additional conditions. However, Fan Long was not idle either. After disbanding the troops with the new designation of the Rangers, he left alone with his own money.
It is said that he had not returned to the mountain for many years and wanted to go back and have a look. After Yang Xin got Yang Dezheng's support, he began to take Peng Pai around the world to recruit people.
Yang Dezheng was not idle either. After the celebration banquet, he escorted the remaining wealth and returned to Daizhou. At present, Yang Dezheng's power in the northwest is the most complete in Daizhou. At the same time,
Daizhou is also the closest place to the Song Dynasty.
It is convenient for Yang Dezheng to recruit talents here. The most important thing is that there are pregnant people in the family and it is time to give birth, so Yang Dezheng has to stay at the house...
In Fengcheng. In the government office, Sun only prepared all the procedures for handing over power in Fengcheng. When Chen Yao came to Fengcheng to take office, everyone was shocked.
There was nothing about Chen Yao that should surprise Sun Yi. What really surprised Sun Yi was that Chen Yao was followed by several carriages full of property. Seeing these properties, Sun Yi didn't even bother to hand them over and rushed to them.
In front of the carriage, he shouted with trembling hands: "How much does this cost?"
Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Three hundred thousand taels, Huhou will allocate it to me, so that I can clear the roads leading to everywhere in Fengcheng as soon as possible, and repair Fengcheng's yamen and streets."
Sun Ji wailed: "How come there are so many? That heartless Yang Dezheng just buckles and swishes for me. For an old subordinate like you, one batch is three hundred thousand taels." Chen Yao jumped off the horse.
, cupped his hands towards Sun Ji, and stared at Sun Ji with an ugly expression, "Master Sun, don't get any advantage and behave yourself. My little allocation is not even enough for the fraction allocated to you by Hu Hou."
Sun Ji said in astonishment: "Allocated funds for me? How come I didn't see it?" Chen Yao rolled his eyes and said: "This time, General Fan Long captured a lot of money in the Liao Kingdom. Huhou gave it to him in one breath.
You allocated ten million taels. This amount of money is enough for you to knock down the two governments and rebuild them again.
Ten million taels is a large amount and is not easy to escort. So Huhou will leave it for you in Fuxingfu City, which was the former Shengzhou City." Without saying a word, Sun just rushed into the official office, took out the official seal, and stuffed it
After getting it into Chen Yao's hands, he rode on his old donkey, urging the old servant, and hurried to Fuxing Mansion.
Sun Ji hurried on for three days and finally arrived at Fuxing Mansion. After entering the Yamen of Fuxing Mansion and verifying his identity, he hurried to the treasury to see the 10 million taels of money.
Ten million taels of wealth were piled up in the treasury of Fuxing Mansion. Since the treasury was not big enough, the large sum of property was simply placed outside. There were nearly three thousand soldiers and horses guarding the surroundings.
Sun Yu, a veteran of the Fuxing Army, burst into tears after seeing this huge sum of money.
Immediately, Sun Ji ordered people to summon all the officials in charge of the two governments to the Yamen of Fuxing Mansion. With money, Sun Ji had an unprecedented hard back. He followed Yang Dezheng's order unceremoniously.
In the two prefectures, drastic reforms began and construction was carried out vigorously. After the spring wheat was harvested and the winter wheat was planted.
Almost all the people in the two prefectures during the slack period were mobilized. Different from the previous conscriptions, this time almost all the conscriptions used money to open roads. The people who had been poor for most of their lives were completely mobilized by money. The entire two prefectures
Within the territory, more than 1.6 million people have participated in the vigorous construction.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
