Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 516
Before leaving, Luo Cheng called Du Fuwei to talk with Fu Gong Er for a long time.

In the end, I specially chatted with the two veterans Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu for a long time, and asked them to take care of the two young people Du Da and Fusan in the future.

Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to bring these two veterans to Liaodong. After all, although he was old, he had more experience.It is also a treasure to have such an experienced veteran in the army.But the emperor asked the two to stay in the south of the Yangtze River as prefects, and Luo Cheng couldn't do anything about it.

In the end, he went to the captive camp again, and talked to those restless prisoners about emigrating to Liaodong. Luo Cheng promised that after arriving in Liaodong, he would be able to start again, even if the emperor said that after these rebels immigrated to Liaodong, they must It took ten years to farm for the army before they could regain their freedom, and even the land was granted, but it took ten years to get rid of the crime of treason, which was actually worth it.

"Commander, Shichong is here to send Commander north."

Wang Shichong came from Jiangdu, and he was awarded the title of Jiangnan appeasement envoy by the emperor to be responsible for the aftermath. The original [-] Jianghuai soldiers who were recruited to quell the chaos are now also subordinate to him.

Even Du Fuwei Fugong Er and the others have to listen to his command now.

"Brother Wang, why are you so polite?"

Wang Shichong specially prepared a lot of gifts for Luo Cheng, loaded them into several carts, they were all good things, there were even many beauties from Jianghuai, Luo Cheng couldn't do without them.

"If the commander-in-chief doesn't accept it, you're looking down on me, Wang Shichong."

"Hahaha, that's what you said, okay, then I'll accept it."

When Luo Cheng left, Wang Shichong just sneered.

Twenty-five thousand people went south to quell the chaos, and within three months, they went north to Liaodong. When they arrived, they were 5000, but when they left, they were still [-]. Hundreds of people were lost in the middle, and they were replenished on the spot.

In order to catch up with time, this time I set off from Jiangning and took a boat to Jingkou, but I didn’t cross Jiangdu again. Instead of taking the canal, I went directly to the sea from the Yangtze River, then went north along the coast to Donglai County, passed Miaodao Islands to Lushun, and then went to Lushun. Liaohe Estuary.

On the building of the Yangtze River.

Luo Cheng looked at the pile of gifts brought up, and took a look, they were indeed some good things, all kinds of curiosities.

"Record everything in the army account, sell it back, and use the money to give allowances to the adopted sons and servants in our army."

"As for the beauties, this Wang Shichong is very bold. He gave away eighteen beauties as soon as he gave them away, all of them are twenty-eight beauties, and I think they are all virgins."

"Eighteen, do you want me to die? It's not suitable to keep women in the military camp. So, when we arrive in Liaodong, I'll send them to Second Brother Shan and the others."

"I have to give Lao Cheng and Yuan Qing two, and comfort these two guys." Hou Mochen said with a smile.

"Give it to them, it won't be needed now." Wang Ziming said with a smile.

The sails go away.

The smile on Wang Shichong's face has been completely put away, he turned and said, "Go to Jiangning."

As soon as he arrived in Jiangning, Wang Shichong summoned a large number of military and political officials such as Yu Juluo, Tu Wanxu, Du Fuwei, Fu Gong Er, and Zhao Yuankai.

Then he immediately announced that he must strictly abide by the imperial decree and strictly identify the backbone of the rebellion.

This screening immediately identified more than 15 people from the [-] rebels, and also implicated thousands of wealthy and powerful households in the seven counties.

For a time, people panic.

At this time, Wang Shichong announced that he could make atonement.

The so-called atonement, of course, is to pay.

Those thousands of wealthy and powerful households who were implicated were mostly related to some rebels, and most of them were innocent disasters, but Wang Shichong didn't care, he wanted to atone for his sins and pay for it.

He even marked the price clearly, claiming to be innocent.

If you give money, you can get away with atonement, if you don't give money, you will be the backbone of the rebellion, and you will be executed.

In the end, countless rich and powerful families in the seven counties were blackmailed by Wang Shichong and went bankrupt, but in the end they still couldn't collect enough money to atone for their crimes.

Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu came out to persuade, but Wang Shichong didn't care about it at all, only saying that it was the emperor's will.

So, after more than half a month of tossing, Wang Shichong had countless families, searched countless money, and finally killed more than [-] people.

Originally, according to what Luo Cheng told him, even if he wanted to kill some backbones, he would kill at most a hundred people or more, but Wang Shichong killed more than [-] people at once.

More than [-] people were killed in the seven counties, and more than a thousand families were confiscated.

In the end, Wang Shichong let the others go and allowed them to immigrate to Liaodong, but Wang Shichong was extremely ruthless, and everyone was not allowed to take away any stitches except what they were wearing.

10,000+ rebels, as well as 40 or [-] rebel family members, were ordered by Wang Shichong to move to Liaodong.

Regardless of whether the family is rich or poor, once he is listed on his migration list, all family property will be confiscated, and he can only go on the road alone.

He sent troops to escort them on the road, and only provided a little food every day on the road. As for the rest, life and death were up to fate.

In this way, the Jiangnan rebellion, which was suppressed by Luo Cheng in one blow, immediately boiled again.

Countless people in the south of the Yangtze River are resentful. They refuse to obey the government's arrangements, refuse to hand over the wealth they have accumulated for generations, and refuse to go to Liaodong as if they were leaving their hometowns to beg for food.

They fled, they killed officials, they plundered.

Although no self-proclaimed emperor like Liu Yuanjin has appeared for the time being, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River are already full of fleeing people.

And at this time, the emperor actually issued another edict to Jiangnan.

"Three conquests of Goguryeo!"

As in the previous two times, the emperor once again conscripted soldiers from all over the world, and recruited sailors and crew members from Jianghuai.

Similarly, the people in Jianghuai also received the task of delivering and transporting grain.

It's just adding fuel to the fire.

Originally, after Liu Yuanjin's rebellion, coupled with Wang Shichong's "pacification", the counties in the south of the Yangtze River are now in dire straits.

As a result, there were more escapes and more rebels.

Wang Shichong extorted a lot of money and sent boats to Luoyang every day, most of which were given to the emperor and some to the nobles. Of course, he also kept a lot for himself.

The south of the Yangtze River is already boiling, but the emperor of Luoyang, the eastern capital, doesn't know it at all.

The 50 million people who were supposed to be relocated to Liaodong, Wang Shichong struggled for a long time, and not even one of them could be sent across the Yangtze River.

Just at the end of September.

Luo Cheng led an army of soldiers to Donglai Port.

As soon as he entered the port, he heard a message.

Zhou Fashang, the prefect of Donglai, was critically ill. When he heard that Luo Cheng had arrived, he asked Luo Cheng to meet him in the past.

Luo Cheng rushed to the prefect's mansion, Zhou Fashang had only his last breath left, he took Luo Cheng's hand and said, "I'm going to the sea again, but I can't make a difference, the time is not with me, I will die, my ambition will not come true, The fate is the same. Please take over Donglai County temporarily, the commander-in-chief, waiting for His Majesty's will."

After speaking, the 58-year-old star bid farewell to this world with infinite regret in his eyes.

He fought hundreds of thousands of times in his life, but finally died before the start of the three campaigns. He still failed to destroy Goguryeo, which was a shame for Liaodong.

The old man who was the director in Donglai told Luo Cheng that Zhou Fashang heard about the Three Requisitions and was actively preparing for the war, but he was gone in a blink of an eye.

Another pillar fell in the Sui Dynasty.

Lai Huer is still in Luoyang at this time, and Luo Cheng can't take care of Henan's affairs now, so he can only ask his father to help take care of it first, and then he wrote a memorial to the death of Zhou Fashang, the prefect of Donglai in the Ming Dynasty, and asked the emperor to send The general will take over the post of prefect and the post of navy chief.

Not surprisingly, Lai Nuer must come to take over.

However, he also sent a letter to Luo Yi, asking him to see if there is a chance to help his father, the chief secretary, to the position of Donglai Juncheng. The second in command can still take over Donglai County.

The emperor has decreed three conquests of Goguryeo, but now it is September, and Liaodong is starting to cool down.So there is no way to fight this year. We can only start mobilization. It is estimated that we will have to wait until the first month of next year before sending out troops officially.

Prior to this, Luo Cheng, the prefect of Liaodong and a general who knew all the military affairs of Liaodong and Liaoxi, was considered the highest commander of the Liaodong theater.

Whether a few local battles will break out before the army goes out, no one can predict.

But Luo Cheng can only say that Yang Guang dared to issue the three Goguryeo orders immediately at this time. This courage is really extraordinary. What kind of chaos is this world? It would be nice to fight again, but he kept on going, and after half a year, he ordered Liao again.
