All the words of King Yizhou were blocked in his chest. He stared wide-eyed at Yin Li who was sitting on the horse, and the other side looked back at him expressionlessly.
At this moment, the king of Yizhou realized that something was wrong, how could Yin Li be here
He didn't see him when he returned to Beijing. Didn't it mean that he was impeached, so he went out of Beijing to avoid the limelight
The king of Yizhou thought of all the unreasonable things, but he had no chance to say it again, and he fell slowly under Yin Li's gaze.
King Xin'an and King Xinping screamed in alarm, supported the fallen King Yizhou, and raised their heads to surrender, but the soldiers who had already killed their eyes didn't listen to them at all, and Yin Li didn't raise his hand and shouted to stop, but put down The rebels who wanted to surrender with swords were cut down the next moment.
Obviously, Yin Li did not recognize their surrender.
King Xin'an's eyes were about to burst, he turned his head to stare at Yin Li, and shouted: "Yin Li, I have surrendered, how dare you kill me..."
Before he finished speaking, a knife was cut from the back, cutting off half of his head, and he fell down without a chance to say what he hadn't finished.
The king of Xinping County shook his lips, looked at his father in his arms, and then at his elder brother lying beside him. Tears and snot flowed from his face, so he could only touch a knife himself, and finally closed his eyes and killed himself.
Yin Li sat on the horse and watched all this, and waited until all the rebels were suppressed, then he raised his hand to stop, and the officers and soldiers of the Western Army and the Governor's Mansion stopped together.
Yin Li stepped forward on his horse, looking down at the governor of Zizhou who was covered in blood and holding a sharp sword, "Lord Su is so brave, I would have reported it truthfully."
The governor of Zizhou, however, parted his lips and smiled palely, expressing his understanding.
Only then did Yin Li glance at the officers and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion, and let the Western Army restrain the bodies of the Yizhou King, father and son and leave.
The deserters of the King of Yizhou have to be dealt with, otherwise, these people will become bandits and harm the neighbors in the future.
In the dead of night, he wrote down the military situation of the Yizhou king and his son who died in the rebellion and handed it to his subordinates, saying: "Send it back to Beijing early in the morning."
"yes."
"Preserve the corpses of the three princes of Yizhou, father and son, and buy a good coffin when we arrive in Maozhou."
"yes."
"The order will be passed down, and all states and counties will cooperate to retreat the rebellious army, and advertise to all places, all the soldiers who surrender will not be killed, but will only be recruited into the Western Army to serve. If they dare to do harm to the village, once the place of origin is found out, the whole family will not be slaves."
"yes."
The military orders were passed down one by one, and with the help of Yang Heshu and Tang Zhihe, the military disaster caused by the King of Yizhou gradually settled down. Except for a small number of deserters who were still hiding in the mountains and were unwilling to come out, most of the deserters came out and surrendered. Some of them stripped off their clothes and began to run back to the village as refugees, or continued to be refugees.
Most of the private army of the King of Yizhou was recruited from the refugees, and now they have turned back into refugees again, except that their complexion is a little more ruddy than that of ordinary refugees, and their bodies are stronger than ordinary refugees. the difference.
Such people flowed into Yizhou City, and Tang Zhihe could tell the difference with Tang Zhihe's eyes, but he didn't say anything, but after copying the Yizhou King's Mansion, he made some case files on the land of the refugees that was previously occupied by the Yizhou King , After the judgment was issued, the sentence was returned to the refugees or the county government.
Then use the part belonging to the county government to settle the refugees. The first ones to be recruited are the stronger ones, who have land and household registration. As long as they are not vicious people, they will not kill people or do illegal things. thing.
Instead, in order to cover up the fact that they are deserters, they are more well-behaved and kinder than ordinary refugees.
Seeing Tang Zhihe's bold operation, Yang Heshu was silent for a while and couldn't help but said, "You are brave enough."
Tang Zhihe grinned at him, "After this wave of credit, you and I will definitely return to Beijing. The refugees in your jurisdiction have settled down early, but my subordinates are still in chaos. I will go back with peace of mind after I finish my work."
After being silent for a while, Yang Heshu said: "You can't do this. If you give priority to resettling these deserters and refugees, then the refugees who have been waiting before must have opinions, and if things go on like this, they will be chaotic."
Isn't this asking for trouble for the next one
Yang Heshu taught him how to use labor to replace good land. Those who got the good land first had to build roads, bridges, and water conservancy. Anyway, they were well-raised by the king of Yizhou and had a lot of strength.
"It happens to be winter now, and the land you allocated to them is called fertile land, but it has been abandoned by the King of Yizhou for several years. The winter wheat is not in time, so it is better to repair the water conservancy..."
Yang Heshu taught him, "These refugees don't have seeds and farming tools, and they have to prepare these things after the spring, but you will be gone by then, and the successor will not know what to do. Work as a relief, so that they have enough food for the winter, so that the seeds distributed will not be eaten."
When a person is hungry, he doesn't care whether it is the seed of the coming year or not. He will eat it when he is hungry to the limit.
"But you can't leave your successor behind at all, you have to let him have something to do, so that he can accumulate merits," Yang Heshu said: "When the time comes, you will write a letter to divide the good land in the Yizhou king's fief Some of them belonged to the county government, and many Yizhou officials were implicated this time, and they confiscated all the fertile land they occupied before."
"There are so many fields under the name of the county government. When your successor takes office, he is not stupid and knows to settle the refugees. He has achieved such a great achievement just after taking office. I think he will not begrudge new grain or farm tools. This group of refugees settled down well."
Tang Zhihe was a little itchy, "Then I will arrange for this group of refugees to leave? To leave such a big gap in office..."
Yang Heshu said indifferently: "You have already occupied a sunny avenue, you must leave the single-plank bridge for future generations to walk, otherwise you will finish all the roads, and the people behind will have nowhere to go, and then you will have to toss the people under your control." The common people are gone, and they are the ones who suffer.”
"Refugees don't only appear during catastrophes. Heavy taxes and labor will also produce refugees. So you are not only for the next county magistrate, but also for the people under your jurisdiction."
Tang Zhihe couldn't help asking him, "Then what if it's a corrupt official who embezzles all the land and money I've confiscated or gave it to the rich and powerful in Yizhou?"
Yang Heshu laughed and said, "Are you blind? Or do you think Tang Shishu is deaf? The person who can take over you at this time will not be so bad, at least not stupid."
Tang Zhihe touched his chin and asked, "Then who do you think will take over my position?"
Yang Heshu shook his head, "It's hard to guess, only He Qing in our current issue, Zhou Lingfeng, Xie Hengliang in the previous issue? Or Liu Yi, the eldest grandson of Liu Shangshu."
