News of the destruction of Yanzhou City soon spread to Luoyang.
In the third square of the first street east of Dingdingmen Street, Shao Shude is inspecting the mansion under construction.
This square is called Chunhua, just north of Yiren Square.
Because the main manpower is building the palace city, the place has not been cleaned up in time.
In fact, we don’t plan to completely clean it up, because some houses can still be repaired. Most areas in Henan are still in the tax holiday, and finances are tight, so it’s better to save whatever you can.
Several houses in Chunhuafang have been renovated, and their original decay is not visible from the outside.
It is true that this is a renovation, but it also cost a lot of money. All the unusable materials were replaced, cleaned and painted again, and the furniture was patched up, making it look brand new.
The mansions are large and small.
The largest is the residence given to Wang Renjiao, the governor of Yizhou by the former Duke of Qi. This man was the father of Emperor Xuanzong and empress, and had a real estate of 300 households. The residence was very grand, and more than 2,000 bushels of grain were spent on its repairs.
Money spent.
Slightly worse is Yang Xuanfu, the former minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yinqing Guanglu. This gentleman was from Hongnong. He became an official during the Wu Zhou Dynasty and served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for thirty years. He went through many affairs, which was quite difficult.
The third is the residence of Ran Shi, the former governor of Hezhou. Ran Shi is also a relative of the emperor, so the residence is naturally good.
The smallest is the residence of Li Yan, the former captain of Jiyuan County, Luozhou. He was born in Chengji, Longxi, and was a Jinshi. His residence is not big.
Only these few buildings are worthy of restoration, and the others need to be rebuilt or the ground cleared for other purposes.
"Wang Renjiao's house was given to Hu Zhen, Yang Xuanfu's house was given to Ge Congzhou, Ran Shi's house was given to Wang Tan, and Li Yan's house was not suitable for anyone. Among the ten generals and lieutenants in each army, one with outstanding military exploits was selected and rewarded.
." Shao Shude ordered after looking at the house.
"As ordered." Zhao Guangfeng responded.
Chen Cheng was in charge of the overall situation in Bianzhou, and Zhao Guangfeng had actually taken over the government affairs of Shuofang Shogunate and Prince Xia's Mansion. It was natural for him to take care of these matters.
The war in Yanzhou has basically been settled.
After Zhu Jin learned that Yan Bao, Kang Huaiying and others presented the city, he cursed loudly. At that time, the three armies of Long Xiang, Long Hu, and Guang Sheng came to attack. The morale of the Yan soldiers was greatly reduced, and the formation was no longer in formation. They were defeated in the first battle.
Zhu Jin, Hu Gui and Zhu Yongzhong led their own soldiers, Yan Zidu and part of the cavalry to the south.
He Delun, the Marquis of Yu of the Longxiang Army, led five hundred cavalry to pursue and kill Zhu Jin's son Zhu Yongzhong before returning.
In this battle, nearly a thousand enemy troops were killed and 3,000 captured. Together with the 5,000 Yan soldiers who surrendered under the leadership of Yan Bao and Kang Huaiying, there were a total of 8,000 prisoners.
Shao Shude ordered that three thousand men be sent to Luoyang.
There are still 4,000 surrender troops in Luoyang. A few days ago, 2,000 Ziqing troops were sent to surrender, and 1,000 Yanzhou troops were sent to Wuwei Army. Only 1,000 Ziqing troops were left. This time, 3,000 Yanzhou troops were sent.
There are only four thousand people.
"It's been almost four years since the Longxiang army became an army, right? They have fought a lot of battles, so they should have been trained." Shao Shude said to himself.
Shao Shude still liked Zhu Quanzhong's soldiers very much.
Longxiang, Guangsheng, and Shenjie are the serious Liang Army in terms of their origins.
Liu Zhijun of the Dragon and Tiger Army belonged to Liang Jun's miscellaneous group.
Long Wujun is the old foundation of Ziqing Town.
Peng Japanese Army was originally a recruit trained by Zhu Zhen, but later mixed into the He Gui and Shaolun tribes.
The Peng Sheng Army was also a Caozhou recruit trained by Zhu Zhen.
The second armies of Pengri and Pengsheng have slightly shorter qualifications than the three armies of Longxiang and have fought slightly fewer battles.
"Send an order to Hu Zhen, and the Zhongwu Army will return to the town. All armies will rest and reorganize on the spot in Yanzhou. I will review all the armies." Shao Shude ordered: "In addition, the Longxiang Army will select a thousand meritorious officers and send them to Luoyang. Guangsheng
, Shenjie, Dragon and Tiger armies each choose five hundred."
Shao Shude calculated silently.
Luoyang sent 4,000 elite troops, Longxiang's Fourth Army selected 2,500, plus 1,000 elite troops selected from Xingyuan Prefecture, Xiangyang, and Ezhou, for a total of 7,500 people, which can almost form the seventh Forbidden Army.
He planned to reorganize with the Jinglue Army as the core. The army currently has more than 4,000 infantry and cavalry, and the Wuxing and Guzhen armies showed their strength, so they were reorganized together this time.
The three armies of Jinglue, Wuxing and Guzhen have a total of more than 19,000 people, including more than 4,000 cavalry, plus the 7,500 people here in Luoyang, which is not much different. Lingzhou Academy and Shaanzhou Academy each choose to send some
The new soldiers came over and gathered 30,000 infantry and cavalry.
After the reorganization is completed, the combat effectiveness is not very good. It will take several months to reorganize and train. However, don't expect to reach the level of the original military commander in a year or two. You can only take your time.
"Prepare a batch of goods." After thinking for a while, Shao Shude asked Zhao Guangfeng in a low voice: "Is there any money left?"
"It's enough now." Zhao Guangfeng replied like a thief: "Wang Bian brought a batch of goods from Yaozhou, Datong horse shop still has a lot of horse money, and Han Quanjie also did it in Chang'an.
A sum of money should be enough. In the second half of the year, salt taxes will be paid to Youzhou, Hezhong, and Dizhou, and commercial taxes will be paid to Qinzhou, Tongguan, and Lingzhou. With the contributions from various towns, it can almost be fooled."
Shao Shude knew it well and said: "Helong, Lingxia and Fan tribes still have livestock to donate, I will ask someone to send a batch over."
Giving sheep is an old tradition from the Dingnan Army era, and Xia Jun inherited it.
This is a blessing.
The rules set when an army is established can often influence the army for many years to come. Even the Henan sergeants who joined later accepted this.
But if you come from the Central Plains, according to the rules of the Central Plains, you have to be given copper coins, silk, gold and silver treasures, in short, they must be valuable things. Food is not impossible, but it cannot account for too much, because the sergeant
There is no room for it at home. If there are too many, they will sell them out, which will lead to a sharp drop in food prices on the market, and they will still be dissatisfied in the end.
Shao Shude suddenly remembered the past rewards between Emperor Min of the Later Tang Dynasty and Li Congke.
In March of the first year of Yingshun (934), the army attacking Fengxiang turned against Li Congke and surrendered to Li Congke. Li Congke "collected the wealth of the generals, officials, soldiers and people in the city to reward the army, and even the cauldrons and cauldrons were valued and given to them."
After Emperor Min heard that the troops sent out to suppress the rebellion had defected to the enemy, he "ordered the officers and soldiers to comfort them and empty the treasury to work for them... The treasury was insufficient, so he served in the palace and played with them."
After Li Congke got the throne, he wanted to fulfill the promised rewards to the soldiers, but the national treasury only had 30,000 taels of gold and silk, which was seriously insufficient. As a last resort, he "had officials doing everything possible to collect people's wealth", arresting people, imprisoning them, and "supervising them day and night".
Responsibility, the prisons are full, and the poor should go to the well for their own medicine." It is still not enough. In the end, even the "old things from Zuozang" that are covered with dust in the palace, "the queen mother, the concubine's utensils, hairpins, etc. are all out", is still not enough.
It was not enough. There was no other choice but to break the promise and modify the reward standards. The sergeant was "still resentful" and began to spread rumors and planned to launch another mutiny.
Li Congke had tried his best, but the sergeants only wanted property, not food, and they didn't like official positions. Even land as reward for merit was not feasible, and they didn't want it.
If you can't come up with money, you're doomed. The social environment is different, the traditions are different, that's just the way it is.
"Calculate how much money is in the treasury." Shao Shude said: "If you survive this year, there will be a large amount of income next year. Chen Cheng and Pei Di have finished sorting out Bianzhou's finance and taxation. Next year's summer and autumn taxes, Xuanwu Town can get dozens of
Tens of thousands of coins, more than a million bolts of silk. On the other hand, if you can use grain and dried meat to pay off the bill, you can do it as much as possible. If you can't, let's talk about it."
However, in the long run, we still have to disarm. It is not normal for most of the country's expenditures to be used to support the army.
"Don't stop building the palace. The main expense is food, which can still be sustained." Shao Shude added: "After the emperor moved eastward, there should be an imperial residence. Now we have the Zhenguan and Xuanzheng palaces. That's enough. Let's step up the renovation."
The main hall of Ziwei Palace is called Hanyuan Hall, which was built on the basis of Qianyang Hall in Sui Dynasty. It was changed to Mingtang Hall during the reign of Empress Wu.
Shao Shude gave up temporarily because the workload was too large, so he built the Zhenguan Hall to the north of the Hanyuan Hall and the Xuanzheng Hall to the west. The Huiyou Hall to the north of the Zhenguan Hall was under construction.
Of course, the imperial residence is a trivial matter. What Shao Shude is most worried about is the emergence of some die-hard elements. If someone tries to stop it, what will you do?
They are all very famous people. How do you deal with the situation when they are blocking the emperor's way? Are you going to imitate Zhu Quanzhong and kill tens of thousands of people at once? It's so shocking that Shao Shude doesn't want to do it yet.
He recently thought of a way to let people out little by little, saying that he would move the capital to Luoyang, and then test the reaction of the DPRK and China.
He had no doubt that someone would jump out. He would first secretly write down the names, and then let the eunuchs Han Quanhui, Liu Jishu and others who had taken refuge in him deal with them one by one. The main method was to demote them to other places to keep them away from the center.
This trick alone is not enough.
Next, continue slicing sausages, first deliberately usurping some of the power of the palace to test the reaction, and then letting out rumors of concessions and further testing. After several times of this, almost everything that should be cleaned up has been cleaned up - whether it is court officials, palace officials or internal officials.
Officials must be cleaned.
If the emperor is left alone in the end, then he can take the final step.
"Your Highness, after the emperor moves eastward, he must station large armies to guard all parties in case of emergencies." Zhao Guangfeng reminded.
This is because they are afraid that someone with unclear ideas in the local area will launch a riot. Although it is unlikely, once such a thing happens, it will be very embarrassing and have a very bad impact, which is not a good sign for the new dynasty.
"After moving eastward, immediately let my son take charge of Jingzhao Yin, and stay in the west capital to command the army to suppress it." Shao Shude said: "It doesn't matter. You should handle the matter in Luoyang as soon as possible. Li Keyong has not made much movement recently.
, I plan to lead the German army eastward."
"As ordered." Zhao Guangfeng bowed and saluted.
On the tenth day of June, Shao Shude issued a series of military mobilization orders.
Fu Cunshen, the envoy of the returning army, led his troops to the west, entered the river, and returned to Jiangzhou to camp.
The three armies of Jinglue, Wuxing and Guzhen marched to Bianzhou for reorganization.
Tielin's army returned to Luoyang to rest and recuperate.
Due to the short time for the expedition, the Yi Congjun was transferred to Suzhou to take over the defense of the southern front.
The troops in Rouzhou's camp attacked Yunzhou and Weizhou.
The Weisheng and Youguo armies stepped up their attack on Qizhou, putting greater pressure on Yang Xingmi.
Du Hong sent troops to assist Qizhou. If he did not obey the order, Zhe Zongben immediately carried out the order and captured Ezhou.
After everything was arranged, on June 11, under the escort of more than 30,000 Yin'anzhi and Tiande troops, he marched eastward with a large sum of money and headed for Yanzhou.
There are still many tasks during this trip, and the first one is to solve the problems of various miscellaneous armies.
