After Kou Ji sent off Cruy and Yuanshan, he rode a donkey, followed Chong Shiheng and Di Qing back to Hexi.
Traveled all the way for several days.
The group arrived in Xiliang City, Hexi Fufu.
Xiliang City experienced a military disaster, and the damage was not serious.
Li Di evacuated all the people in Xiliang City before the war and evacuated everything in Xiliang City, so when Qingtang soldiers appeared in Xiliang City, they found that Xiliang City was an empty city, but was not in Xiliang City. Stay longer.
After the war, Li Di immediately used horses to carry the people's things and moved the people back to Xiliang City.
So Xiliang City recovered some popularity, but it was still in depression.
The Great Song and the Black Khanate, Liao soldiers, and Qingtang soldiers fought fiercely from winter to summer the following year, and missed the best time for planting.
After the people returned to Xiliang City, immediately under the arrangement of the government, a new round of tree planting and crop planting began.
Hundreds of thousands of Black Khan prisoners were temporarily recruited by Li Di, and they were helping the people in Hexi to plant trees.
They are not worthy to grow crops.
Because they have lived by plundering since they were young, they don't care much about the crops at all.
So Li Di did not arrange for them to plant crops, for fear that they would cause chaos to the people.
When Kou Ji entered Xiliang City with his soldiers and horses, he saw black sweats planting trees in the mountains, on the ground, and in the wilderness.
The people bent over one by one and worked in the fields.
Xiliang City seemed to have returned to its pre-war state overnight.
When Kou Ji entered Xiliang City, he saw that some shops in Xiliang City had already opened, and couldn't help but sigh: "Li Gong is indeed a minister. In just a few days, Xiliang City will be empty. Restored to such a scene."
Chong Shiheng and Di Qing rode alongside Kou Ji. They didn't care about Kou Ji's praise of Li Di, nor did they agree.
At this moment, the minds of the two of them are all on Chen Yaozi.
Kou Ji entered Xiliang City with his troops and horses, and was just set up.
Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing found a reason and left Xiliang City and headed straight for Yangguan.
Kou Ji knew that the two of them had gone to Yangguan to find Chen Yaozi, so they didn't stop it.
After Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing left.
Kou Ji began to count the merits of this battle.
With the help of dozens of documents, Kou Ji reluctantly counted the contributions of the soldiers who participated in the war.
After the inventory was clear, Kou Ji did not shirk time, and decisively exchanged the merits of the soldiers into actual rewards.
Those who are promoted, those who give land, those who give land, and those who give money give money.
Except for some titles and some official positions above Rank 5 that require Zhao Zhen's review, the rest of Kou Ji can make a decision.
After rewarding the soldiers.
Kou Ji gradually demobilized the local soldiers and horses from various places back to the government.
They will not be needed for future wars.
They can't do much if they stay in Hexi, so they might as well go back and sit there.
When the soldiers returned home, Kou Ji knew how to use the sword of the emperor that Zhao Zhen bestowed on him, wrote many documents, and distributed them to the local government, so that the local yamen would truthfully arrange the meritorious soldiers, wounded soldiers, and those who died in battle The widow of the soldier.
In order to ensure that there is no disclosure in the middle, the soldiers will not be chilled.
Kou Ji wrote a lot of murderous words in the document, and sent several cronies to personally supervise the place.
Dazzling.
Seven days have passed.
In addition to the local soldiers in Hexi Prefecture, there are the Yongzitou Forbidden Army, Yongxing Army, and Zhenxi Army in Yongzhou.
Chong Shiheng, Di Qing, Chen Yaozi, Li Di and others appeared together in Xiliang City after the local soldiers and horses were properly arranged in Kou Ji.
Hexi government office.
Kou Ji is dealing with the rewards of the banned soldiers.
Zhong Shiheng, Di Qing and others entered the prefect's office together.
As soon as they entered the yamen, the group greeted them.
"I have seen Shu Mi..."
Kou Ji put down the pen in his hand, waved his hand, and said, "Don't be polite."
A group of people got up.
Kou Ji asked them to sit down and stared at Li Di and asked, "Can the people in Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou and other places be settled properly?"
Li Di solemnly said: "All have returned to their places of origin. Some houses and properties in Guazhou and Shazhou have been seriously damaged. The people have been completely resettled and properly, I am afraid that they will have to wait until after the autumn.
Kou Ji pondered and said: "This time, in order to deal with the strong enemy, we have stood firm and cleared the country, which has indeed had a great impact on the people. However, I have already invited the officials to reduce or exempt Hexi's taxes.
In addition, you also asked me to leave a lot of cattle and sheep to compensate the people.
It is believed that the people will be able to recover soon. "
After a pause, Kou Ji continued: "However, it may take a long time for the fruit forest to recover. To make up for the people, one more horse will be sent to each household. With the help of horses, I believe the people will work easier."
When Li Di heard this, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Even if you force a part of the horses to the people, the remaining horses are not easily digested by you."
Kou Ji glared at Li Di, "If you think the people don't need it, I can take it back."
Li Di smiled dryly and said nothing.
Although there is no shortage of horses in Hexi, most of them are public horses, followed by the horses of a large landlord whose surname is Kou.
Although the people have been herding horses and sheep, most of them are working for others.
Horses are used on weekdays, and they are also seconded from the public horse farm or the horse farm of the big landlord.
Now that Kou Ji gave horses to the people for free, it was a good thing for the people, how could Li Di refuse.
Cattle, horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock are equipped with various farming tools, and their farming efficiency is very leveraged.
The people in Hexi have plenty of fertile fields.
Naturally, the help of livestock is needed.
Kou Ji saw that Li Di was no longer talking, and he was too lazy to care about Li Di. He continued to speak: "There are indeed too many horses seized this time.
So I decided to reward some of the horses to the local soldiers in exchange for military merit.
When rewarding, try to reward as much as possible in a way that is 30% lower than the market price.
In this way, it can be regarded as a commendation for their contribution to helping Hexi. "
Local soldiers are mostly local children, mostly from poor families.
Can't afford a horse.
Kou Ji rewarded them with horses almost in vain through military merit rewards, which was of great benefit to them.
After they bring the horses back, whether for their own use or renting out for others to use, they will bring a small amount of income to the family.
They participated in this battle in Hexi, and they got a little bit of credit.
After returning to the countryside, more or less land can be allocated, or some money can be allocated.
So Kou Ji doesn't have to worry that they can't afford to raise horses.
After Kou Ji finished speaking, Chen Yaozi couldn't help but said: "Even so, we still have a large number of horses to be settled."
As soon as this word came out, everyone looked different.
Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing have nothing to do with their high-hanging looks.
Chen Yaozi frowned slightly.
Li Di said with emotion: "There was a time when I used a horse as five horses. I lacked horses to the point where everyone would frown when they mentioned Ma Zheng.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, my Da Song has too many horses to be used up. "
Kou Ji did not sigh with Li Di and Chen Yaozi. After hearing the words of the two, he said solemnly: "I will sell the remaining horses to some poorer government offices so that they can help them with horses. Nong Xing Nong."
"They have no money..."
"It doesn't matter if they don't have money. It's not too late to repay the court when they have money. I will tell the officials about this matter so that they can issue orders to local governments.
"..."
As soon as Kou Ji said this, Li Di and others had no objections.
Kou Ji continued: "The horse problem is solved, and the rest is the prisoner problem. Before I leave, I will send the Black Khan people into Qingtang and ask them to help us clean the Qingtang.
We only need to give them a horse and a knife, and we don’t have to deal with the rest.
Later, Li Gong could set up two border markets on the borders for the use of those black sweats.
The cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver jewelry they grabbed in Qingtang can all be taken to the border market and exchanged for food, drinks and other things.
For the specific exchange, Li Gong will arrange according to the market price. "
When Li Di heard this, he nodded with a bright smile.
Hundreds of thousands of black sweats went out to rob, and the things they looted could only be digested in Hexi.
Hexi does not take this to eat the belly full of intestines fat.
This matter was very beneficial to Hexi, and Li Di was naturally happy.
Kou Ji continued: "Those prisoners in Qingtang are temporarily managed in the form of military control."
Li Di hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "Hexi now has no extra fields for them to plant. Some planned forest lands must be planted with trees and must not be cultivated.
So if they stay in Hexi, it will be a burden. "
Li Di has found some experience in sand control over the years. He knows that trees are very important to many places close to the desert in Hexi, so he does not allow those places where trees should be planted to be cultivated into fertile fields.
Kou Ji slowly said: "I've considered this matter. You can order people to take them to the west. Xizhou Uighur territory, Yizhou and other places close to our Song Dynasty can be invaded."
Li Di was stunned, just about to speak.
Just listen to Kou Ji continued: "Although rest assured and boldly occupy. As a victorious nation, I have the right to rule on the ownership of all the territories of the Black Khanate.
If the people of the Black Khanate refuse to accept, let them lead the soldiers, and we will fight again. "
Li Di opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Kou Ji was so overbearing to include the territory of the Black Khanate into the Great Song Dynasty. I don't know how the people of the Black Khanate will feel when they learn about it.
Roughly open one eye and close the other, let Song take it.
Anyway, they couldn't beat Da Song, the robber neighbor, so they could only let Da Song bully.
The only thing they can do is to pray to their true gods and pray that Song will be lighter when bullying them.
If it is forced, it is the soldiers and horses of their black khanate who may be the first to rush into the territory of their black khanate.
After Kou Ji decided on the placement of captives and horses, he especially urged Li Di, "When issuing my Dasong household registration to the Heihan and Qingtang people, be more rigorous.
Those who have not made major outstanding contributions shall resolutely not allot Dasong household registration.
They want to be the people of my Da Song and enjoy the blessing of my Da Song. They must first make contributions to my Da Song.
Only in this way can he become a qualified citizen of the Great Song Dynasty. "
Li Di heard the words and said dumbfounded: "How big is the major outstanding contribution you are referring to? If measured according to the standards of the court, I am afraid that they will not get my Dasong household registration in their lifetime."
Kou Ji glared at Li Di, and said angrily: "Do you have enough women to match them?!"
Li Di closed his mouth instantly.
No!
There is also the priority of the people of Song Dynasty.
Seeing that Li Di was no longer speaking, Kou Ji continued: "I have finished talking about the political affairs, now let's talk about the military affairs."
Kou Ji's eyes fell on the three of Chong Shiheng, Di Qing, and Chen Yaozi, and asked: "Have you three negotiated, who will lead the troops to Youzhou City?"
Chung Shiheng and Di Qing almost stood up at the same time.
Chen Yaozi hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Seeing this, Kou Ji said curiously: "General Chen doesn't want to go to Youzhou City?"
Chen Yaozi said with a grievance: "Yes, I want to dream. But I can't go."
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "Why?"
Chen Yaozi glared at Chong Shiheng and Di Qing, without saying a word.
Li Di snickered and said, "The old guy dare not be afraid that his children and grandchildren will be beaten."
Kou Ji looked at Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing in amazement, "You threatened him?"
Chong Shiheng and Di Qing shook their heads decisively.
Seeing this, Chen Yaozi slapped the table and yelled, "I am not a son of man! Do you dare not recognize it, what face is there to stand in the Great Song Dynasty Hall!"
Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing rolled their eyes together.
Chen Yaozi stared at Chong Shiheng and Di Qing angrily, and complained to Kou Ji, "Private Kou, you have to be the master of the lower officials. In order to force the lower officials to stay in Hexi, they actually threatened the lower officials with their children and grandchildren.
Improper son of man! Improper son of man! "
Kou Ji said with a stunned look: "Do they still dare to threaten you?!"
The old Chen family has three masters.
The three brothers are all high-ranking officials in the Great Song Dynasty.
Although the boss has passed away, there are countless old people left.
The second child is now in charge of one of the courts, and is a powerful candidate for the next term to participate in the political affairs.
Although Chen Yaozi himself had voted in the rank of military ministers, when he was in the ranks of civil servants before, he had made good courtiers, and there were also a lot of old schoolmates.
Chen Yaozi is not bad if he doesn't threaten them.
They dare to threaten Chen Yaozi
"Private Secretary Kou, we did nothing. Don't listen to this old man slandering us."
Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing said with stern expressions.
Chen Yao shivered with anger.
Li Di couldn't help but say a fair word, "The two of them did threaten Old Chen. If it had been before, they would naturally not dare to threaten Old Chen.
Because they dare to threaten Chen Lao, Chen Lao has countless ways to kill them.
However, it is different now.
The Privy Council became independent and was no longer influenced by the Manchu civil and military forces.
Only belongs to the privy envoys and officials.
Even if the two of them offended Chen Lao, they were not afraid of being retaliated.
And they are all yours. Even if Old Man Chen wants to retaliate against them, he still has to ask if you can answer. "
After hearing Li Di's words, Kou Ji couldn't help rolling his eyes.
After a long time of trouble, Chong Shiheng and Di Qing were both foxes and pretenders, and under the guise of his and Zhao Zhen's prestige, they bullied Chen Yaozi, an old man.
Chong Shiheng and Di Qing raised their heads and raised their faces, without any humiliation of bullying Old Man Chen.
Kou Ji glared at the two of them, and said, "General Chen and you are colleagues, how can you threaten your colleagues? It is even more unbearable to threaten others with your children and grandchildren.
General Chen Da is also a man of righteousness.
If you know your feelings and move with reason, he will fight with you for the opportunity to go to Youzhou City
Not hastily apologized to General Chen.
Don't dare to threaten other people's family members and serve them with military law. "
Chong Shiheng and Di Qing apologized to Chen Yaozi almost without saying anything.
Chen Yaozi felt quite satisfied at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He stared and asked Kou Ji, "You don't want me to go to Youzhou City?"
What Kou Ji said just now seemed to favor Chen Yaozi, but if you take a closer look, you will find that Kou Ji is actually favoring Shiheng and Di Qing.
When Chen Yaozi heard this, she was naturally unhappy.
Kou Ji said frankly: "I didn't let you go to Youzhou City. It's just that this place is more important than the battle in Yanyun Land. Chong Shiheng and Di Qing each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The two can fight, and they have strong opinions.
They stayed in Hexi and sat in town, and they must not have been able to cooperate with Li Gong.
If you are not sure, you will quarrel and refuse to give in to each other.
You are different, you can talk to Li Gong, you will definitely give up when you should give up, and you will definitely persist when you need to persist.
With you sitting in Hexi, I don't worry. "
Chen Yaozi said dissatisfied: "You don't give me eye drops. I joined the army just to fight. But it has been five or six years since I joined the army, and even if it was full, I fought a battle.
Today, I am sixty.
If you don't go to Youzhou City for a fight, maybe there will be no fights in your life.
If there is no war, why should I join the army? "
Chen Yaozi grew more and more angry, and in the end even showed some grievances.
Kou Ji sighed and didn't know what to say.
The old guy has prepared for decades for the war.
The blood in my heart burned for decades.
Now that it has been wiped out, it is indeed cruel to the old guy.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "General Chen, sitting in Hexi is not as simple as sitting in town. Then after the Black Khan enters Qingtang, there will be successive battles in Qingtang.
You have to prevent them from hurting people across the border, and you have to send soldiers into the plateau frequently to adapt to the climate on the plateau.
When the Black Khan has cleared the people in Qingtang almost, you have to lead your troops into Qingtang and fight with the remaining Black Khan and Qingtang people.
When the time comes, you will be fought in the battle, so I'm afraid you won't be able to fight it.
So you don't have to compete with Chong Shiheng and Di Qing for the opportunity to go to Youzhou City. "
Chen Yaozi was stunned for a moment, staring at Kou Ji and asked, "I will destroy Qingtang by myself?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Chen Yaozi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Di Qing and Chong Shiheng, and said, "Won't they two come to grab merit?"
Kou Ji resolutely said: "I won't agree."
Chen Yaozi sighed, glared at Di Qing and Chong Shiheng, and mumbled: "It's cheaper for you..."
Seeing this, Di Qing and Chong Shiheng made a salute to Chen Yaozi.
"Thank you General Chen for your accomplishment!"
Seeing this, Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief.
After all the affairs are arranged properly.
Kou Ji and others got busy.
Li Di was busy helping the people resume farming, Di Qing, Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozi were busy reorganizing the soldiers and horses, and Kou Ji was busy negotiating with the black sweats.
Kou Ji wants to send hundreds of thousands of black sweats into Qingtang territory. Naturally, he has to negotiate well, choose some obedient people, and put in some supervising people.
Otherwise, if hundreds of thousands of black sweats suddenly turn to each other after he leaves, the fun will be great.
Kou Ji picked nearly a thousand people among the black khan people before and after, and planted nearly a thousand people.
Then he broke up the black sweats who had experienced the plague with him and believed in the identity of his divine envoy, and placed them among hundreds of thousands of black sweats.
Afterwards, Kou Ji divided the Black Khan into thousands of strands and put them into Qingtang.
In order to avoid any accidents midway, Kou Ji was on the border, staring at them one by one into Qingtang.
During this period.
Chong Shiheng, Di Qing, and Chen Yaozi have rectified their troops.
Chen Yaozi led fifty thousand Yongzhou Yongzitou ban troops and thirty thousand local soldiers from Hexi Mansion, all the way to the borders of Shazhou and Xizhou Uighurs.
Not only that, he also drove more than 100,000 Qingtang soldiers into the Xizhou Uighur territory and started planting trees, reclaiming wasteland, farming fields, herding horses, and herding sheep.
In order to stimulate his enthusiasm, Kou Ji also gave Chen Yaozi and the soldiers and horses under Chen Yaozi certain benefits.
More than one hundred thousand Qingtang soldiers, and everything gained from land reclamation within two years, is nearly owned by Chen Yaozi and the soldiers and horses under Chen Yaozi.
In this way, Chen Yaozi and the soldiers and horses under Chen Yaozi will naturally spare no effort to urge the captives to work and create more value for them.
After Chong Shiheng and Di Qing rectified their soldiers and horses, they led them out of Hexi and rushed to Youzhou City.
They did not wait for Kou Ji.
Because they are leading the army to advance, even if they are one step ahead, they may not be able to reach Youzhou City before Kou Ji.
After Kou Ji sent all the Black Khan people into Qingtang, it was already seven days after Di Qing and Shiheng left Hexi.
After Kou Ji handed over the rest of Hexi's affairs to Li Di and Chen Yaozi, he left Hexi with his trilogy, personal officials and relative officials.
Kou Ji had just left the Hexi realm and had just entered the territory of Shaanxi Prefecture when he heard a news that made him look stunned.
"The entire Liao Kingdom has become a mess of porridge!"
Shaanxi Province.
Binzhou Station.
After learning the time of Kou Ji's entry, Fan Zhongyan rushed to the station in advance to wait for Kou Ji. After seeing Kou Ji, he looked confused.
Kou Ji was washing away the dust and sand on his body while asking, "Why messy hair?"
Fan Zhongyan sighed: "Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui didn't know if they were guilty of the bear heart and leopard, or what happened. They actually put nearly a million scapegoats in Xingqing Mansion and other places. Liao State.
And promised them to use the enemy's head to get rid of, get promoted, get money, and get good land. "
Speaking of this, Fan Zhongyan took a slight breath, and said in a deep voice: "After the group of guys entered the Liaodi, they were not restrained, and they all went crazy.
The Northwest Road and Southwest Road of Liao State were killed by them.
Now they are raging on Jingnan Road and Jingbei Road in Liao State. "
