Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 472
Gao Cheng carefully looked at Chen Baxian's head in front of him, and after a long time, he waved his hand to let Master Yao take it away.

Looking down at the restrained Chen Qian, Gao Cheng asked:

"Chen Ba first asked you to hand over his head to me, and then he said something."

"Uncle's last words on his deathbed, the army is defeated today, and he doesn't want to wander around like a rat again. I have heard that the emperor of Daqi has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. He just wants to spare his wife and children at home."

Chen Qian suppressed her grief and said.

When the army was defeated, Chen Baxian told Chen Qian to take the head and go to Gao Cheng to surrender, begging to save his family, and then he drew his sword and killed himself.

Chen Qian cut off his head in accordance with Chen Baxian's last order.

Gao Cheng was silent when he heard the words, he signaled his guards to untie Chen Qian, and asked Master Yao to return Chen Baxian's head to Chen Qian.

"Haosheng buried him just outside Panyu City."

Chen Qian hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.

Soon, Chen Chang, the only surviving son of Nanchen Empress Zhang Yaoer and Chen Baxian, was escorted in.

Looking at the orphan and widow, Gao Cheng recalled Chen Qian's last words, after all, he did not embarrass Zhang Yaoer and his only son Chen Chang who were over fifty years old.

"I will arrange a place for you in Luoyang. From now on, you will live in Luoyang safely. Don't think about restoring the country. This small country is gone!"

Zhang Yao'er was overjoyed, she thought she was going to die, but she didn't expect to be pardoned, she pulled her son to kneel down and said:
"The old lady thanked His Majesty for your kindness. After moving to Hebei, the old woman, mother and child must live in secluded places and not interact with old people."

Chen Chang also expressed gratitude:
"The sinner was pardoned by His Majesty, and since then I have always been grateful for your kindness, so how dare you have second thoughts."

Gao Cheng nodded slightly and said:
"I have asked Chen Qian to bury Chen Baxian, you two should go find him."

Zhang Yaoer, mother and son thanked each other again before being taken down by the guards.

Soon, another person was escorted, and it was Chen Baxian's general Hou Andu.

Gao Cheng asked in a deep voice:

"Do you want to be a person of Qi, or a ghost of Chen."

Gao Cheng didn't even have a good impression of Hou An. In the original time and space, he was the one who pushed his only son Chen Chang into the Yangtze River to drown after Chen Baxian's death.

Of course, Hou Andu was also ordered by Chen Qian to announce that Chen Chang had drowned due to a shipwreck, and Chen Qian came to mourn the funeral in person.

Hou An didn't expect Gao Cheng to ask so bluntly, but he didn't dare to put on airs. Yu Jin's experience was widely spread. This Northern Qi emperor was the most impatient. He never persuaded him to surrender once. If anyone wants to pretend to be a loyal minister, he must fulfill the other party. Martyrdom.

"Andu is willing to surrender to His Majesty, and to be His Majesty's pawn, overcoming thorns and thorns."

Hearing this, Gao Cheng thought to himself, there is no need for you to overcome obstacles for me.

But I also know that Hou An is a strong general, maybe it will be useful in the future when he conquers Shu.

Gao Cheng ordered people to untie Hou Andu, and his personal guards took him to resettle him.

After Hou Andu, two more people were kidnapped, namely Zhou Wenyu and Du Kan, two other generals in the Southern Chen army.

Gao Cheng only asked Zhou Wenyu, but not Du Kan.

Zhou Wenyu bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, Gao Cheng then asked Du Kan:

"That day I kindly released your wife and children, and that was considered a kindness to you. Why didn't you feel grateful, and insisted on resisting? Could it be that you still remember the death of your uncle?"

How could Du Kan dare to say yes, he could only argue:
"The two uncles died in battle, and their bodies were shrouded in horse leather. This is a state matter, so it's not a personal enmity. Your Majesty respects my husband and wife, father and son. However, Master Chen also has a great kindness in the niche, so how dare the niche betray the Lord."

Gao Cheng smiled and said:

"It makes sense, I will ask you again today, would you like to surrender?"

Du Kan bowed his head and said:
"How dare a sinner refuse His Majesty's kindness again."

On the same day, Gao Cheng successively interviewed many of the captured South Chen civil and military officials in Panyu city. Some of them were willing to serve as officials, while others begged to return to their old age.

Gao Cheng didn't force it, he told those who returned home, he would give money, but he would also secretly order the local county officials to pay attention to their movements, and those who insisted on dying for the country, Gao Cheng would also bury them together with Chen Ba first, fulfilling their relationship between monarchs and ministers righteous.

Nan Chen Wenwu was arranged, and Gao Cheng organized manpower to solve the flood, so as to prevent the city of Panyu from being flooded.

When the time came to the end of March, the weather became hotter and hotter. The northern soldiers and war horses could not tolerate the high temperature, and people and animals began to fall ill.

Gao Cheng then repatriated the army in batches, and he himself did not stay in Lingnan for long.

King Xiaogao divided the land of Lingnan into four prefectures of Guangxi, Guangxi, Lei and Qiong, and later named the North Vietnam area as Jiaozhou.

The west of Jingjiang is the land of Guizhou. According to the previous promise, Xian Ying will be the governor of Guizhou, leading Guizhou, Jiaozhou, and Qiongzhou, which is Hainan Island in later generations.

The Leizhou Peninsula was also called Leizhou, and Xian Ting was appointed as the governor of Leizhou.

To the east of Jingjiang is Guangzhou, so the governor of Guangzhou would naturally not be handed over to the Xian family, otherwise Gao Cheng would be working hard for the Xian family. This confidant is placed in Lingnan, and there is no lack of intention to monitor the Xian family.

If he hadn't known Xian Ying's outstanding contribution to the integration of Lingnan ethnic groups in history, with Gao Cheng's character, how could he have promised her the post of Guizhou governor.

During the decisive battle, Xian Ying was abandoned by Gao Cheng in the name of guarding the camp.

Xian Ying originally thought that Master Qi was suspicious, and the promises made before were probably too many to count.

Unexpectedly, after the war, Gao Cheng was still appointed as an official. After going through this mental journey, the brothers Xian Ying and Xian Ting were even more grateful.

Since the Northern Qi Dynasty originally had a Guangzhou, which was located in the Nanyang Basin, between Sizhou and Jingzhou, and Cui Che named the east of Jingjiang as Guangzhou, so it was natural to change the name of Henan Guangzhou.

Gao Cheng then renamed Guangzhou, Henan Province Wanzhou.

Everything was properly arranged, and Gao Cheng entrusted Xian Ying and Xian Tingduo to promote exchanges between Han and slang, promote culture and education, and advanced production technology within the administration.

He also urged Wang Jun not to discriminate against the slang people in the country, and to encourage intermarriage between Han and slang to promote national integration. At the same time, there were many secret words in private, which were naturally related to the Xian brothers and sisters.

In mid-April, the beginning of summer, the sweltering heat in south of the Five Ridges was already unbearable, so Gao Cheng finally set off to return north.

Although a large number of soldiers had withdrawn ahead of schedule, there were still many troops accompanying Gao Cheng as guards.

Some people in the army fell ill from time to time, but perhaps because he had been far away from beauty recently, Xiao Gaowang became much healthier and returned to Hengzhou healthy and healthy in late April.

But even in the future, even if you want to visit various places, you can only come to Lingnan in winter.

Because many soldiers fell ill, Gao Cheng lived in Hengzhou for a while, and then set off in early May to return to the imperial court.

Nanchen has perished, and Jiangnan has to be rearranged.

On the way home, Gao Cheng issued an edict to abolish the Wuzhou General Manager's Office and Jiangzhou General Manager's Office, and divide Wuzhou into two, Wuzhou and Yangzhou, and the governors of the two prefectures will be appointed as civil servants.

Jiangzhou was divided into two, Jiangzhou and Minzhou, and civil servants were also appointed as governors.

At the same time, the Jingzhou General Manager's Office and the Yingzhou General Manager's Office were established, with Duan Shao and Wu Mingche in charge.
