Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 397 Ying'e
When the 12 bolts of cloth squeezed out by Nanliang monarchs and ministers arrived in Jiangling one after another, Gao Cheng had already passed various decrees to include all the lands in Jiangbei into the Northern Qi system.

On September [-]th of the second year of Zhaode, Gao Cheng newly established Yingzhou and Ezhou, with Han River as the boundary.

To the west of the Han River is Yingzhou, which governs Jiangling, and to the east of the Han River is Ezhou, which governs Anlu.

Gao Cheng asked the generals who could be the governor of Yingzhou, Xue Xiuyi, who was already 72 years old, recommended himself, claiming:
"If you fail to defend, please punish."

Later, many generals asked to guard Jiangling. Gao Cheng privately asked Hu Lujin for his opinion, and Hu Lujin suggested:
"Also look up to the Han children to guard, take the mouth of the family as a hostage, and don't fight with soldiers and horses."

The so-called Han Xiaoer refers to the 72-year-old Xue Xiuyi. Xue Xiuyi is older and has a lot of money.

Gao Cheng then ordered Xue Xiuyi to be the governor of Yingzhou and guard Jiangling. At the same time, the land of Yizhou in the south of Liangzhou and Jiangbei was Yiling County, which was governed by Yiling.

Hu Lujin said not to fight with soldiers and horses, which means not to hand over the soldiers to the command of Xue Xiuyi, so that he can organize the prefectures and counties to guard the city.

In addition to the 5000 men under Xue Guyan's command, Gao Cheng gave Xue Xiuyi the quota of [-] prefecture soldiers to guard with him.

As for the governor of Ezhou, Gao Cheng had already decided to transfer Hou Jing to the position. The [-] troops under Hou Jing's command went south this time as vanguards, attacking cities and villages all the way, causing heavy casualties and leaving less than [-] people. Ezhou made up for the gap, and the remnants of less than [-] people can enjoy the treatment of soldiers.

Gao Cheng never spared rewards for those who made meritorious deeds, and the newly recruited soldiers still only enjoy the treatment of foreign soldiers from prefectures and counties.

With this appointment, Hou Jing was not dissatisfied with being transferred from Xiangyang, because he got the prince he wanted most. Gao Cheng named Hou Jing the king of Longxi County because of his meritorious service in the southern expedition.

What's more, with the capture of Jiangling and the change of flag in Suizhou, which is isolated overseas, Xiangyang has become the rear. As a general of the town, it is reasonable for him to be transferred away.

Suizhou was demoted by Gao Cheng to Sui County, and was placed under the rule of Ezhou.

Hou Yuan, who was conferred the title of Duke of Yuyang County as early as when Erzhu was in power, was also conferred the title of prince. King of Yangjun.

For other meritorious persons, such as Hu Luguang was promoted from Champion County Duke to Nanyang County Duke, Gao Jishi was promoted from Marquis to Chengshi County Marquis, Murong Shaozong was also granted the title of Suolu County Duke, and the rest of the generals were rewarded.

When Hou Jing left the town of Anlu, the post of Inspector of Jingzhou was vacant. Gao Cheng ordered Hu Luguang to be the Inspector of Jingzhou. The Jingzhou navy controls a total of [-] troops on land and water, and [-] prefecture soldiers in Jingzhou.

Therefore, Hu Luguang came from behind. Although he did not win the king, he was the number one general in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Of course, Gao Cheng gave him so many soldiers and horses mainly to support the war in Ying and Ezhou.

At the same time, it is also the trust in Hu Luguang. Gao Cheng and Hu Luguang have a deep relationship, and they are engaged to Hu Luwu, who is similar in age, as a concubine. Gao Cheng has only five sons in these years, but his daughter has given birth to many. At least, it doesn't matter whether it was carried out from Yaoguang Temple or from a well-known concubine.

Hu Luwu was the eldest son of Hu Luguang, who was five years old at the time, and Gao Cheng watched him grow up. Gao Cheng was also five years old at the time, and married Princess Yining, the daughter of Li Zu'e, but he had to wait until Marriage after the age of 16, no matter how disrespected these daughters are, as a father, Gao Cheng would not allow them to marry at such a young age.

Although Gao Cheng favored his daughters, it was only Gao Mi, the eldest princess of Xiangyang, and Gao Yi, the direct daughter of Princess Pengcheng, who was just one year old.

Gao Mi is twelve years old now, and her marriage has already been settled, that is, Duan Yi, the eldest son of Duan Shao.

Duan Yi was about the same age as her. He was wealthy, knew music well, and was good at riding and shooting. The two had been in touch since they were young. When Gao Cheng asked, Gao Mi shyly agreed.

Gao Rong, who is also 12 years old, is engaged to Gao Jishi's son.

Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi, the three of them not only had acquaintance with Gao Cheng since they were young, but they were also relatives of their sons and daughters.

Unlike daughters marrying generals' children, Gao Cheng's sons are not yet married, but Gao Cheng is determined to let them be the daughters of civil servants in the future. Obviously, he wants to sever their connection with the generals in the army. He chose the daughter of the general gate as his side concubine.

Everything in the Jianghan Plain was over. Gao Cheng distributed rewards to the armies in Jiangling on September 549th in the second year of Zhaode ([-]). As for the so-called construction of the mausoleum, Gao Cheng never mentioned his origin.

The 12 pieces of cloth and silk obtained from Nanliang are naturally not enough to reward the armies. After all, Gao Cheng conscripted 22 cavalry soldiers, [-] infantry soldiers, [-] state and county soldiers, and [-] troops from Hou Jing for this campaign. [-] people.

Gao Cheng rewarded one-third with 12 bolts of cloth and silk, and supplemented the remaining two-thirds with treasuries in Ying and Eerzhou. The circulation of Zumo money in Jiangbei is prohibited.

The Zumo money recovered this time was not transported to Jiangnan again. Nanliang’s prices were already boiling. After a big defeat this time, another 12 pieces of cloth were paid to buy captives. Making profits or losing money can make Gao Cheng cry.

On the day after the rewards were issued, that is, September 21, Gao Cheng took the remaining troops and the collected Zumo Qian Beihuan. Obviously, he still had the idea of ​​melting and casting. Although the styles were different, the materials were mainly copper.

Of course, there must be a lot of private and bad coins in it. Gao Cheng would definitely suffer a loss if he exchanged it with Zhaode Tongbao.

Although Gao Cheng is a licentious person, many of his policies are based on profiting for the bottom people. As a modern person, he knows that only the bottom people can live, or even live well, will spontaneously support the rule.

Small people can be deceived, but not deceived, this is Gao Cheng's creed.

With Hu Luguang leading 9 troops out of the town of Jingzhou, there are still 18 soldiers left in the Luoyang Gyeonggi Army, but with the [-] soldiers in the surrounding Shaanxi, Liang, and Guangxi prefectures, Gao Cheng still firmly holds [-] soldiers. hands.

On October 27th, Gao Cheng came back to Luoyang in the winter snow again. Gao Xiaozhang and others greeted him outside the Jianchun Gate early, their lips were purple from the cold. Its job is not allowed to meet and drive, such as Sima Ziru, Gao Longzhi and others did not appear.

The 49-year-old Dou Tai joked after paying respects to Gao Cheng:
"If it's next year, Tai won't be able to welcome the king again."

Gao Cheng was stunned when he heard this, he always felt that this uncle was planting a flag.

　I'll take a break first, and if I wake up and have energy, I'll write a little more.
