Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng were both furious. Slick officials have always been the enemy of soldiers. They are two completely different creatures.
Of course, there are no pure soldiers and bureaucrats these days, and the boundaries between them are not clear.
In fact, Shangdang is very similar to Yunnei. They are both relatively closed and remote places. Warlords are easy to come out of Yunnei, and Shangdang is similar. It has been a place where violent bandits have appeared since ancient times.
The more closed a place is, the more stubborn local clan forces will be.
In the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, what was more serious than banditry in Shangdang County was actually the strong sense of self-preservation of the local wealthy people here. Most of them thought that no matter how the outside world changes, I will remain unmoved.
Whether I am loyal to the Sui Dynasty, loyal to Li Tang, or surrender to you, Li Po, is my own business.
Such conservative concepts are inevitably in conflict with today's chaotic world, but they are also strangely consistent.
How can I put it, the people of Shangdang did not have a clever way to survive the troubled times. They were deeply troubled by banditry, but they were stubborn and did not want to bow to the strong, and they lacked the necessary qualifications to dominate the world.
In this way, their tragic end is actually doomed.
Li Po, who had almost regarded Jin as his own, but had to face powerful foreign enemies, would never allow such a group of people to exist.
When the nobles of the Shangdang were still struggling with their poor "autonomy", Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng discussed angrily, but they also found helplessly that the time to punish disobedient officials might be delayed.
.
The weather in September is no longer suitable for military use, and they must rush back to Linfen County or Jiang County before October, because not only do people need to eat, but horses also need to eat grass.
A place like Lucheng is definitely not suitable for garrisoning a large number of cavalry.
Both of them were experienced in battles and would not be blinded by anger, so they left Lucheng with their troops without much hesitation.
Before leaving, Luo Shixin had intended to kill all the prisoners, because they would definitely not be able to take them back, but he was also afraid that the killing would be too much and that it would not be easy to explain after he returned.
Everyone knows that since the army was launched in Daizhou, their general manager has never done any unnecessary killings, and his reputation in Bingdai and Daizhou has become better and better.
The officers and soldiers also feel at ease. Military discipline in the army has always been strict and lenient, and beheadings are becoming less and less common.
As the saying goes, what is good above is what is bad below, and it is very appropriate to apply it here. The generals will weigh before killing people, and many people escaped with their lives. Not to mention that the harsh torture laws left in the army from the Sui army are also
Gradually disappeared.
Most of the time, depriving a person of his military status and being exiled to Daibei was the heaviest punishment under execution in the army.
This subtle influence, supplemented by the reform of military discipline, naturally made the soldiers' sense of honor and cohesion one step further.
Of course, it’s hard to say what the disadvantages of this are. Mercy is always associated with a lack of military discipline these days. As the cost of making mistakes gradually decreases, it’s hard to say whether there will be other side effects.
However, in the case of Lucheng, its effect was clearly reflected.
Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng were both angry and embarrassed, but they were able to suppress their murderous intent and did not vent their anger. They slaughtered tens of thousands of Lucheng rebels.
The two men discussed briefly and left five hundred soldiers and horses to guard Lucheng and watch the surrendered prisoners. The army then returned westward.
……………………
The quelling of the Lucheng rebels was good news, and even better news came to Jiangjun in September.
Li Bi gave birth to a son successfully in Jinyang, and the mother and son were safe.
Li Po was overjoyed.
At this time, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and the Shangdang rebellion were temporarily forgotten by him. He intuitively felt that his life was quite complete at this point.
Of course, it is indeed a phased achievement.
In terms of general trends, the day when he becomes king is not far away. Now that he has an heir, all the prerequisites have been met. At this point, it should be a matter of course for Li Po to become king of Jin.
As for Li Po himself, having a mother-in-law and a son is actually the best compliment for his efforts over the years.
He holds great power and responds to every call. His wife is prominent and respected by everyone. His son has no worries about food and clothing, and will inherit the family business in the future. Relatively speaking, what a man wants in his life is actually these simple things.
.
The news spread immediately, and congratulations abounded.
As ministers, they may be more happy than Li Po. Li Po finally has an heir, and there is a legacy. This is a big event, needless to say in detail. Therefore, Li Pochu's joy of becoming a father is not as good as that of his ministers.
I feel happy that the Lord will be succeeded by someone.
In September, word spread that Li Po was happy with Lin'er, and the reign was full of joy.
The prefects and generals of each county sent their nephews and relatives to Jinyang or Li Po to congratulate him with letters and gifts.
As soon as Li Po was happy, he held a banquet in Jiangjun's mansion, invited officials and generals, and drank with everyone all night.
The discomfort of not being able to go back to Jinyang to see his wife and children gradually faded away amidst the congratulations of the crowd. While drinking and drinking, Li Po became very drunk.
Li Po naturally had a splitting headache when he woke up the next day. It was rare for him to be so dissolute. Looking back on last night, he didn't have any symptoms of being too drunk to remember things, and he didn't lose his composure in front of everyone.
Looking at the red-eyed boy nestling next to him, Li Po was in a good mood, except for a slight headache.
The days of having three wives, four concubines, and many children do not seem so far away.
Then he divergently imagined Li Bi's mother-in-law holding a baby in her arms, and Li Po laughed heartlessly.
He easily pulled Hong Yanzhu'er up and went out together to stretch his muscles. Then Shi Shiran came to the front office of the county government to handle official business under the protection of Zhang Jin and others.
It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events, and on this day Li Po also lost some caution.
He immediately signed a military order for King Zhibian of Jin to be the military commander-in-chief of Daizhou. He also ordered Yanmen Prefect Yu Wenxin to concurrently serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of Daizhou. He also ordered the two of them to build the Daizhou Commander-in-Chief's Palace before spring, which was originally supposed to be
The order he planned to issue after becoming king was simply issued today.
As a result, the establishment of the Bingzhou Governor's Office is actually imminent. This is not only because of Jinyang's status, but also because of the need to reward old people like Chen Xiaoyi and not let them be inferior to Wang Zhibian and others.
In fact, this is almost like a declaration of becoming a king, or even a prelude to becoming a king.
In mid-September, Yuchi Xie, who hurried to Mayi, joined Yuen Long. However, before they could leave the fortress, Empress Xiao's chariot had already arrived at the edge of the Great Wall.
(Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, there are constant calls tonight, A Cao is tired of coping, so the update is late and the number of words is also a little less, please forgive me.)
