Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1099

Beibu Gulf, Qinjiang Port.

Jiangkou Wharf is busy.

A cart full of goods arrived with a cart full of cows and horses. The sergeants in red robes were like ants, unloading the supplies from the cart, counting, registering and repacking them, and then transporting them to the ship.

Habayashi Lang Liu Rengui personally led the Habayashi Army to guard the pier.

"Li Gong, this is a list."

Li Jing, the pacifier of Lingnan economic strategy, the commander of Guangdong Zuodudu, the governor of the South China Sea, and the chief general of Tiance, Li Jing, handed a booklet to a man in black robes. The man was white and beardless. The white face is not kind.

"We have Mr. Lao Wei." The white-faced man took it, flipped through it, and then handed it to a black-clothed man next to him who was also white-faced and beardless.

There are quite a few people in black like this on the pier.

They were at odds with the soldiers in red robes and the officials in purple and green robes, but even Li Jing treated him politely, so he knew that this person was by no means simple.

These men in black are eunuchs sent by the emperor's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are the emperor's personal. They wear black robes to distinguish them from officials and generals.Although these people are all of low rank, for example, the person in front of him who is called Li Gong by Li Jing is only serving Li Fuguo from the fifth rank.

He didn't have this name at all, Fuguo was bestowed by the emperor, it is said that he was loyal, he once blocked the emperor's arrows when he was outside the pass, so he was very important, and he was given the name Fuguo, which was given as an internal gift.

He went south with Li Jing. On the surface, he was ordered to comfort the army, but in fact he was responsible for supervising the army.Fortunately, although Li Fuguo was quite capable, he didn't think much about interfering with Li Jing's actions, and the two had a good relationship along the way.

Now Li Fuguo is going back to Beijing, Li Jing is very polite to see him off.

"The Ning family really has a lot of properties." Li Fuguo said with a smile, a smile finally appeared on his white face.

Li Jing immediately said, "Ning Changzhen, Ning Daoming and Ning Daoming's two clan descendants have all been captured, their properties have also been confiscated and confiscated, their fields, houses, slave shops, etc. have been registered and confiscated into the government treasury, and their gold, silver, pearls and spices have been confiscated. Money, silk and other things will be packaged and sent here, and will be transported back to Luoyang with Li Gong's boat, and presented to the saint."

The Ning family has operated in Guangxi for several generations, and before its defeat, it still occupied three counties. Its strength can be described as extremely strong.But once the dynasty is defeated, the court will naturally not be polite to him.

The emperor's decree has been sent, Ning Changzhen and Ning Daoming, the two Ning clans were all punished for the crime of rebellion, and Ning Chun was transferred to the court as General Zuo Yuwei.

It can be said that the Ning family was uprooted this time.

Not only were all the properties of Ning Changzhen and Ning Daoming confiscated, but Ning Chun’s was not kept much. Previously, Yongping lost only one city, and many of Ning Chun’s property and wealth were also trapped by the rebels. Li Fuguo did not follow Ning Chun The drowning dog was polite, and directly confiscated most of Ning Chun's property and money in the name of filth, leaving him only a little bit in Yongping City.

Li Fuguo not only seized more than [-]% of Ning Chun's property, but also forced him to spit out the money from Feng Xuan's property that Chen Longshu swallowed after he defeated Feng Xuan. Healed.

As for Tan Dian and Pang Xiaotai, not to mention, Li Fuguo almost took away half of their property.

A few people got together to sue in front of Li Jing, but so what, Li Jing also knew very well that Li Fuguo's extortion was not private greed, he was just the emperor's glove, and he just stood up for the emperor.

"The entry of these light goods into Beijing can also alleviate the current financial difficulties of the imperial court." Li Fuguo looked worried about the country and the people, and Li Jing could only chuckle, "It's the taxes and taxes owed by Lingnan in the past few years. Bar."

What Li Fuguo took away were light goods, that is, those valuable things, gold, silver, pearls, jade, rhino horns, elephant teeth, spices, money and silk, etc., as for food, slaves, and various heavy furniture, as well as real estate and fields. Manor shops, etc., were all confiscated and left to the local government.

In fact, the floating money goes into the emperor's internal treasury, while the rest goes into the national treasury.

Of course, in the end, there must be stays in counties and counties, as well as military rewards, etc., and the rest can be turned over to the national treasury.

Light goods are valuable, but easy to carry.

More than 30 treasure ships and hundreds of merchant ships will return full of these light cargoes this time.

This time a large amount of grain was also copied, but Li Fuguo had no interest in it. He returned to Luoyang with a full load of rice, so he might as well bring a box of gold back.

"Duke Wei, if Chen Longshu, Feng An, Tan Dian, Pang Xiaotai and others are unwilling to accept the saint's order and take up new positions, Duke Wei can hand them over to me, and I will deal with them."

These days Li Fuguo is busy searching for money everywhere, not only extorting money from the Ning family, the Feng family, the Chen family and the Tan family, but also many small powerful and handsome, sending people to talk and demand tribute one by one.

While busy searching, he was also busy killing people.

If you don't kill people without seeing blood, you can't always establish your prestige, and no one is afraid of it.

Those Ning's subordinates who disobeyed the court will be killed.Whoever hides the traitor's property and refuses to hand it over will be killed.Kill those rebels who took the opportunity to rebel.There are also local hooligans who make trouble, kill them.

They even killed many soldiers who had just put down the rebellion. Some of them were old Qin soldiers, but after the war, they were fascinated by the gold and silver in Lingnan, and Li Fuguo also killed them.

Li Fuguo searched a lot of money and killed many people.

He even killed more than a dozen people he brought with him, including eunuchs who were eggless like him, as well as guards.What these people pass by every day are tens of thousands of money and light goods. Many people are fascinated by money, and they all want to make a fortune.

Li Fuguo killed these people without hesitation.

"Whoever dares to covet the stuff of a saint, I will kill him first."

"Although Ning Chun is dissatisfied, he has no other choice now. He has agreed to go to Beijing with Li Gong. As for Feng An and Chen Longshu, they are very dissatisfied, but they have been persuaded, and they are willing to accept the court's transfer. And Both Tan Dian and Pang Xiaotai have accepted the transfer order."

"That's a bit of a pity. In fact, I wish they would disobey the imperial court's order, so that I don't mind killing a few more people, and it can be regarded as solving the Lingnan issue once and for all." Li Fuguo smiled sinisterly.

Li Jing hurriedly said, "We just went through a rebellion, so let's stabilize first, if we are in a hurry, there will be another chaos."

Now Canton Road consists of Nanhai County, Ngee An County, Longchuan County, Xiping County, Xin'an County, Yongxi County and Gaoliang County.

Guangxi Dao Ze governs Guilin County, Cangwu County, Yongping County, Yulin County, Nanning County, Ningyue County, Hepu County, Haikou County and Sanya County.

In Guangnan Province, there are four counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan and Sunset.

Sunset was originally a fiefdom of Luoyi, with two counties of Sunset and Wenyang. This time, Luoyi expanded to the west of Beiliang and Nantang counties, so the imperial court newly established Sunset County to govern these four counties. At the same time, the imperial court granted Li Jing to Beiliang , granting him a fief of two hundred miles, and granting him the Duke of Beiliang.Jia Runpu, the governor of Jinyiwei, was granted the title of Nantang, a fief of [-] miles, and the title of Duke of Nantang.

Therefore, there are three princes in Sunset County. Although Luo Yi expanded the territory for the court, the court did not confer new lands to him, but conferred two new princes. Of course, the emperor also gave Luo Yi Kaijiang had another reward, which was to give him a lot of slaves and money.

In fact, this is not the original intention of the emperor, but the intention of the ministers of the court. They think that although Luo Yi's expansion of the territory to the west is a good intention and goal, it actually violates the imperial court's management system for the princes. In the end, they think it should not be Give Luo Yi the territory that was illegally conquered.

But in the end, although the emperor granted two new princes to build the country, he still gave Luo Yi an additional fief of one hundred miles.

In addition, the imperial court finally set up the fiefdoms of the Three Kingdoms as counties, no longer under the management of Rinan County, but directly established Sunset County, appointed officials such as prefects, county officials, and captains, and added a new government barracks to Sunset County. people.

"Forget it, since Duke Wei doesn't want me to intervene, then our family won't bother with that. When our family is gone, the Habayashi Army has to take them away. These are His Majesty's treasures. We folded more than a dozen of these and went back Our family doesn't know how to be reprimanded by His Majesty."

When Li Jing heard that he wanted to take the thousand and one feathers away, he felt a little bit reluctant.

These are the top soldiers drawn from the various military mansions of the Sanya, and all of them are elite soldiers. I thought that there were these people in Lingnan, and I could use them as a basis to rebuild the Lingnan mansion, but I didn't expect to take them away. .

After thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Li, I can't let you take Habayashi back. After the quelling of the chaos, Lingnan is not peaceful. We must select soldiers as soon as possible to establish a guard system. These Habayashi are the most Reliable and the most capable, with them, we can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Li Fuguo smiled coldly.

"The order our family received was to bring back these disciples of the Son of Heaven, Duke Wei, don't make things difficult for our family."

"Li Jing played His Majesty at the meeting and explained the situation to His Majesty."

"Wei Gong, don't make things difficult for our family." Li Fuguo's tone was already very blunt.

Li Jing crossed his hands, "Mr. Li, please be accommodating, it's all for state affairs, and it's all for saints."

"What if our family refuses?"

"I am the appeasement envoy of the Lingnan Economic Strategy. In Lingnan, the Habayashi Army must obey my military orders. If I don't let them go, they won't be able to leave. If they dare to leave, they will be disobeying the military orders."

"Li Jing, if you dare to do this, you are despising the Holy Majesty and deceiving the Emperor!"

"Even if His Majesty wants to convict, I will admit it, but I believe His Majesty will agree with my memorial."

The two faced each other.

"Li Jing, believe it or not, if I declare in public that you are disrespectful and deceitful, I can directly order you to be taken down?"

"I believe it, but I know Mr. Li won't."

"Li Jing, maybe you think you are doing the right thing, but your method of doing things is wrong. It is thankless for you to do so. You are resisting orders and even suspected of rebellion."

Li Jing still did not back down.

In the end, Li Fuguo sneered and said, "Okay, since you insist on going your own way, then our family will do everything for you, but after returning to Beijing, our family will tell His Majesty exactly what happened."

"This is Mr. Li's duty, and Li Jing dare not stop him."

Li Fuguo flicked his sleeves and led his men to board the boat.
