Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 513 The King of Jianghuai
Jiangning City.

When Luo Cheng came out, the rebels were exhausted.

The seven counties were recovered, and 15 rebels were captured, and there were no less than 40 rebels' family members.

As the conciliatory ambassador of Jiangdong and Jiangxi, Luo Cheng not only wants to calm the chaos, but also comfort the local area and restore the post-war order.

The first thing before everyone is how to deal with these captured rebels and their families.

"Kill them all!"

Shichong, the prime minister of Jiangdu County who came to the meeting, said three words directly.

Luo Cheng rolled his eyes at him.

"Does Wang Juncheng know how many lives you have with these three words? It is 60 to 20 lives, and [-] lives with one word. It is more generous than those rich people who spend a lot of money."

Wang Shichong twisted his fat body, and smiled flatteringly at Luo Cheng, "Luo Shuai, since these people dare to follow the bandits, they should be killed as an example, otherwise there will be no peace in the south of the Yangtze River."

"That can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. 50 people, thanks to what you said. Do you know how difficult it is to give birth to one person, and how difficult it is to make a child grow up to adulthood? Even if you have ten children, you may not be able to support five. Survive Of the five, maybe one or two are handicapped freaks, either dumb or blind or deaf or crippled."

"Those who are not lame, blind, or deaf, may drown in water when they were young, or fall to death while walking. They may die of famine or starvation, or they may die of illness, drown in floods, or burn to death in fire. ······It can be said that if it grows to adulthood, it is a narrow escape, this is the good fortune bestowed by the gods, how difficult it is, you kill 50 casually?"

"Then how do you think you should deal with it, Marshal? These are all treason, heinous crimes, and the crimes cannot be forgiven." Luo Cheng said that Wang Shichong was helpless.

He has always been talkative, but he is not afraid of Luo Cheng being able to say it. The key is that Luo Cheng is the commander in chief. He is a subordinate official, so he dare not play tricks in front of Luo Cheng. Even if he talks about Luo Cheng, it will be even worse.

"If this is not the case, we can screen out those who are the backbone of the traitors, punish them severely, and send them to Liaodong to serve as garrison slaves to the frontier army. As for the others who are coerced, they can be exiled to Liaodong Real border farming. And their family members can stay and pardon them, or they can choose to go to Liaodong farming with their families. Go there, grant them fields and let them start a new one.”

"It's too cheap for them, isn't it?"

"Leaving home, going far away to the frontier, the bitter cold land of Liaodong, starting from scratch, and facing war and looting at any time, how can it be said to be cheap?"

Nearly 50 people in the seven counties in the south of the Yangtze River were involved in rebellion and rebellion. This number is still huge. If they all moved to Liaodong, it would be too amazing.Even if only those rebels were moved, there would be [-] to [-] people.

But compared to killing all of Wang Shichong with one sentence, this method is undoubtedly more benevolent and practical, just after the imperial court seized the four counties of Liao, it is still empty.

But for Luo Cheng, it is more beneficial.

Now Cunxiao is the prefect of Lushun, and he is the prefect of Liaodong. He is very willing to develop Liaodong and regard it as a place of foundation.

Liaodong is not a good place, and it is still intertwined with Goguryeo. It is a powder keg, and there may be a war at any time.But the world is so big, it is not easy to find another place to develop.

After all, in the land of the Central Plains, the imperial court will not easily give you a chance.

If Luo Cheng is willing to stay in Liaodong to guard, the imperial court is also very happy, and with Luo Yi's help to promote, Luo Cheng can do many things.

He has soldiers now, but soldiers alone are not enough.

The four counties in Liaodong have nothing now. Even if the garrison is outside, they have to rely entirely on supplies of food, grass and armaments in the pass.

The only result at that time can only be to reduce the garrison, or simply set up a military mansion there, station the mansion soldiers, and work as farmers in leisure time and in wartime, so as to reduce military expenditure.

To raise a soldier, at least [-] farmers need to farm and pay rent and tax.

And one cavalryman gets the rent of a hundred peasants for farming.

This is just an ordinary algorithm, an approximate number.

If you really want to maintain an elite soldier, you need to train more and have better equipment at ordinary times, and the cost is higher.If Koguryo cannot be destroyed in a day in Liaodong, there will be war at any time, and the expenditure will increase even more.

Luo Cheng had already targeted the hundreds of thousands of rebels and their families.

If you can really get it to Liaodong, it will be amazing.

Not to mention the four counties, Liaodong County alone has the most fertile Liaohe Plain, and it is really no problem to house 50 million people.And if there are 50 million people, then they can have the potential to supply [-] to [-] troops.This is still the ability of ordinary people to supply troops. If they are exiled to the border to settle the criminals, the rent and tax will definitely be higher, so theoretically it is possible to provide [-], [-] or even [-] soldiers.

This is the potential for war, and this is the foundation of hegemony.

"Wang Juncheng, since the war here has been decided, I won't stay for long. I will return to Dongdu in a few days, and then go to Liaodong. The aftermath here must be dealt with as soon as possible."

After the meeting ended, Luo Cheng immediately wrote to Luo Yi.

He explained his opinion on how to deal with those rebels and their families, and hoped that Luo Yi could help to push forward this matter.

In the end, he hesitated for a while, and still wrote at the end of the letter, hoping that Luo Yi could help Du Fuwei to be the governor of Danyang County and Fugong Er as the governor of Xuancheng County.

Originally, he wanted to arrange for Cheng Yaojin and Pei Xingyan, who were still recovering from their injuries, to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, and even wanted to recommend them as prefects, but these two guys were so stubborn that even the prefects actually said that they didn't want to be prefects, and preferred to be prefects. He followed Luo Cheng to Liaodong, and said he was willing to go there to fight Goguryeo, but he didn't want to be in Jiangnan.

resignedly.

Luo Cheng asked other people, but they were not very willing to stay. They even wondered why Luo Cheng wanted to keep the two brothers here.

The purpose of this matter is rather obscure.

Of course, the ostensible reason is because the rebellion here has just settled down and people's hearts are not stable, so two generals are left here to watch. In fact, it is Luo Cheng who wants to place two pawns here. He knows better than anyone else that even if The Jiangnan rebellion ended in two months, but this will not solve any fundamental problems.

Yang Guang has gone farther and farther on the road of being alone. If he refuses to compromise, then there will only be more and more people who oppose him, especially those nobles who have been suppressed before. Dare to move, if there is a chaos today, they will naturally rise up one after another.

No one else was willing to stay, but Du Fuwei finally said he was willing to stay.

In the past few years, Du Da and Fusan have been loyal to Luo Cheng, and they have made countless contributions with him on campaigns.But in the Luo family army, the two of them have always been in command of the infantry, and now Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Pei Xingyan, and Pei Xingyan are here again in the Luo family army. Du Fuwei also knows that he is still somewhat behind them, and he does not Willing to fall below them when the time comes.

Now that they have the opportunity to be independent, they are still willing to give it a try. After all, Siye, Cunxiao, etc. have already left alone.

However, the qualifications of the two are relatively poor, and it is still too difficult to recommend them as prefects, so they can only settle for the next best thing and ask Luo Yi to help them protect them as county magistrates.

put down the pen.

Luo Cheng sighed in his heart, and didn't know whether his move was right or wrong.

Leaving Du Fuwei, the historical king of the Jianghuai River, in Jiangnan, can he not get up again?If it really rises, can it be controlled by yourself in the future?
