Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1283 The Enclave
The arrival of the South China Sea Fleet made those in Lion City who had other fantasies give up their hearts.

But there are also people who are very happy, such as those Hu merchants who survived the turmoil.After the change of banner at the head of the city, the sky of Lion City changed overnight.

But after so many days of uneasiness, the Hu merchants found that under the rule of Qin Qi, everyone's life seemed to be better than before.

The Lion City introduced new laws and new tax systems.

"They're all little people, just live."

A Funan businessman sighed and said, he is in the spice trade, and the spice business is profitable, but under the various taxes, there are some tricky donations, let alone all kinds of filial piety.

But now that the Qin people have taken control of the Lion City and announced a new law and tax system to them, they must pay a penny, but there has been no additional extortion since then.Originally, I heard that Li Shimin brought pirates, so I thought that with the character of pirates, everyone's life must be difficult.

They all look forward to the day when the martial law will be lifted, and they will immediately leave the city to escape.

But unexpectedly, these pirates seemed to have changed their minds, and no one came to harass and rob them.Some people also said that it was because Li Erlang's rule was strict, and on the day the city was broken, a dozen people who robbed, murdered, raped and hid the spoils were all publicly beheaded by him.

Huang Zhong entered the city.

The order of Li Jing, the pacifier of Lingnan, was announced in public, and Linyi County was officially established.

The Chinese businessmen in the city were very happy. To be honest, they really didn't want to leave here.It is not easy to run a commercial port, and it is even more difficult to find a way out.After finally doing business, who is willing to give up easily.

On the day after Huang Zhong entered the city, the huge 18-yuan gold medal and [-] gold men were transported out of the city and loaded onto the treasure ship of the South China Sea Fleet.

This alone is more than [-] catties of gold.

Not to mention that after Li Shimin broke the city, he looted the royal palace, the homes of noble officials, wealthy businessmen and powerful people, as well as Brahman temples and Buddhist temples, and also copied many golden statues and bronze sculptures.

Li Shimin directly took out a lot of looted gold and silver and rewarded the Qin people in the city, and also gave a lot of housing allowances to the 6000 people in the third regiment under him, but still sealed a lot of them in the warehouse for Huang Zhong.

Among these gold and silver, there are more than [-] catties of gold, more silver, and a lot of copper.

Except for gold, silver and bronze wares, most of the rest were directly melted into gold collars, silver ingots and copper bricks.

Chests of gold and silver were carried out of the city and put on ships.

Pirate bosses are a bit pained, although Li Shimin has already fulfilled his promise and gave each of the leaders three thousand guan of gold and silver, even the ordinary pirates below each got two to three hundred guan of gold and silver, Not to mention, the leaders each got ten Champa female slaves and twenty Champa male slaves.The pirates below also got two slaves, a woman and a man.

Everyone did not lose points, but seeing gold, silver, copper and jewels worth at least 3000 million guan were shipped onto the ship, they still felt pain in the flesh. They always felt that these things should have been theirs, but now, they were all taken away by the South Sea Fleet. The man picked peaches.

"Damn, this Lion City was brought down by us, and the gold and silver were also our trophies. Now they are all given to the South China Sea Fleet, but Erlang is only given as a county magistrate. This is so fucking crazy."

"It's really unconvincing."

"That Huang Zhong is a bird, why should he be the prefect?"

Li Shimin just smiled, "Isn't my county magistrate also serving as the captain of the local regiment?"

It turned out that there were three regiments in Lion City, and now Huang Zhong brought another 1000 troops, so Huang Zhong readjusted the 7000 troops. He combined the original Zhang Peng's troops, and the Lin Yi army who later surrendered to him and his troops. , Formed a regiment of 4000 people, and he personally served as the envoy of soldiers and horses.

The remaining 3000 people included Li Shimin's 4000 people, and the remaining half of the group of Champamen recruited later. Li Shimin also added more than [-] people and organized it into Xianglin County mound.It is also a two-box group of [-] people.

Like Li Shimin, he personally served as the school lieutenant of the Tutuan in Xianglin County.

The 4000 people under Huang Zhong, the prefect of the school, are under the banner of the Linyi County Fubing Regiment and the County Bingyi Regiment, while the 4000 people under the Xianglin County Magistrate Li Shimin are simply under the name of the Township Regiment. banner.

Originally, Huang Zhong also proposed to recruit Li Shimin's people to him, and keep the three regiments under the compression, but Li Shimin refused.

Huang Zhong didn't push too much.

So now there are 2000 soldiers and horses in Linyi County, and a regiment of [-] soldiers, divided into four battalions, stationed in four gates of the city.And a regiment of two thousand soldiers of the county is also four battalions, stationed outside the four gates.

As for Li Shimin's two regiments of Eighth Battalion Township Soldiers, they were all stationed near Dazhan Haikou in the east of Lion City, and even Li Shimin's fleet set up a camp on Champo Island in Haikou as a base.

After Linyi King Fan Fanzhi was imprisoned for a period of time, he was also sent on board this time. Along with his ancestor's memorial tablet and golden statue, his concubines and children, as well as some high-ranking Linyi officials and nobles, Sent to Nanhai Port, then to Luoyang.

As for how to deal with it in Luoyang, this is a matter for the court.

Huang Zhong was busy sending the gold and silver away, but he didn't change the rules and regulations set by Li Shimin when he controlled the Lion City. Xiao Gui and Cao Sui changed only the soldiers and horses.

From Huang Zhong's point of view, he didn't care much about the fact that Li Shimin and him were in charge of [-] troops.He is very clear about Li Shimin's background, this is a concubine who is favored in the palace, so there is no need to force her too much.After all, this Lion City was brought down by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was already dissatisfied that he came to pick peaches as the prefect.

Anyway, the prefect of the Linyi inspection school may not be able to serve for a long time. He estimated that Fan Fanzhi's son, Fan Touli, should have led his troops here soon.

As long as he and Li Shimin defend this wave of offensive, then on the northern front, Rinan and Sunset counties will surely defeat the greatly reduced Lin Yi army, and in this way, Lin Yi can be forced to sue for peace.

At that time, the imperial court may ask Linyi to cede a piece of land in the north to Daqin, and the imperial court may establish a new county there. As for the enclave of Lion City, the prisoners, gold, silver, etc. in the city will be transported away. After that, maybe you can give up.

After all, it is an enclave [-] miles away. Even if it is a big port, it can't compare with the land near Nichinan.

After the peace negotiation is over, Linyi County may be moved to the south of Rinan County, and the Lion City will be abandoned. At that time, he, the prefect of Linyi County, who inspects the school, will certainly not be able to serve as an official in the newly established Linyi County .

He knew very well that he was only here for a transition, to take care of his property for the South China Sea Fleet as the emperor.As for the rest, it doesn't make much sense to argue.

Li Shimin thought about making the school lieutenant addicted, so let him have a good time by making up for the gangsters who let him enjoy himself. As long as he is satisfied, it's fine if he doesn't come to make trouble for himself.

"The elephants of the imperial guards in the Lion City are well trained. I think we can transport more to Nichinan. Otherwise, when we abandon this place, it will be a pity that these elephants cannot be taken away." Huang Zhong said to On the one hand, the officer said.

"That's no problem. We now have a total of eight battalions with two regiments, two elephant battalions, two horse battalions, and four infantry battalions. In addition, we have five big treasure ships, which are very strong. The big ones in the city In addition to supplying the two elephant battalions, there is still a lot of surplus elephants, which can be transported away first."

"General, I found out that after Li Shimin broke the city this time, he seized a lot of gold and silver. In addition to handing it over to us, he also distributed a lot of it privately, and also deducted a lot of military expenses for his soldiers and horses. Those captains The pirate leaders each received three or four thousand guan in gold and silver, and those captain-level leaders also received one or two thousand. Even ordinary pirates also received hundreds of guan in gold and silver. He also privately kept gold and silver worth hundreds of thousands of guan as military expenses, should we let him hand it over?"

Huang Zhong thought about it and waved his hand.

"If you want the horse to run and keep the horse from grazing, there is no such thing as such a good thing. Since Li Shimin has handed over gold, silver, copper and jewelry worth no less than 3000 million guan, that is enough. He will keep some of it privately. Don’t get too hung up on it.”

"Our brothers are very jealous." The officer reminded Huang Zhong.

"That's right, also in Lion City, Li Shimin's people are all earning a lot of money, and we brothers can't just sit and watch. In this way, give us a thousand guard brothers, each of us will reward ten guan, and Huochang fifteen , 25 guan for team-level officers, [-] guan for battalion-level officers. The sailors on the ship are also rewarded with [-] guan for each."

"Is that too little?"

"It's quite a lot. If you don't do anything, you have to be rewarded. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Tell the brothers, when Prince Linyi leads the army to arrive, before the battle begins, I will give the brothers another reward. "

The officer nodded in satisfaction, "Brothers will definitely be very happy to know." Although it is not as good as those pirates, each of them was divided into hundreds of thousands of guns and slaves, but what Huang Zhong said was right, the city It was they who beat it down, meritorious service.And when they came here, they didn't do anything, and they were rewarded without making an inch of merit. This is a special case. If they were in the imperial army, Huang Zhong would never dare to do this.

After all, it is better in the Royal Fleet, especially now that there is indeed a lot of money in hand.

The merchants who came with the army were very busy. They wanted to buy everything. A large group of merchants wished they could contract the Lion City by themselves.Slaves, gold and silver utensils, bronze utensils, statues of gods and Buddhas, and all kinds of utensils, even some people in the Linyi Palace wanted to buy them. Of course, they did not buy the palace to live in. They took a fancy to all the wood in the palace and the furniture and utensils inside.

The beams and columns in the Linyi palace are all made of extremely high-quality wood. This kind of wood is extremely valuable when transported back to the Central Plains, not to mention that many of the utensils and furniture inside are also valuable items.

Huang Zhong replied that as long as the price is right, it can be sold.

Anyway, he decided in his heart that the Lion City in Linyi County would be abandoned in three to five months, maybe a year or so, so it doesn't matter whether he is a palace beam or a desk and chair, he can earn as much as he can sell, otherwise he will be abandoned by then. As soon as the people withdraw, these are not in vain and given to Lin Yizhan.
