Chapter 824

At the beginning of May, Lu Qian led his army back to Yanjing.

The bones of a group of people were buried in the cemetery behind the Martyrs' Shrine in Yanjing. Immediately, a ceremony was held here to commemorate the military officers and soldiers who died in the Northland this year.

Hei Sanlang had already heard the bad news about Bao Xu, and cried bitterly again.It's just that this time Song Jiang cried bitterly, but he didn't have Chao Gai to accompany him.

Zhu Dian, Lei Heng, and Chao Gai are also old friends. There is a memorial tablet for the two generals in the Martyr's Shrine. On the day Chao Gai arrived in Yanjing, he went there to pay homage. His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse from crying. .Hei Sanlang cried with Chao Gai from the beginning to the end.

But now this Bao Xu has a relationship with Chao Gai?
Just like in the Linhuang mansion, Guo Yaoshi and others also set up a coffin in the back garden of their home to worship after hearing the bad news about Liu Shunren.On weekdays, Emperor Tianzuo, who trusted and loved Guo Yaoshi and the three of them, looked straight at him as if he hadn't seen them.

Liu Shunren's identity at the time of his death was Lu Qi's general, not his subject of Yelu Yanxi.He can understand the ease of life-and-death friendship between Guo Yaoshi and others and Liu Shunren for many years, and he can even understand Liu Shunren's difficulties in surrendering to Lu Qi.He was left alone in Yanzhou that day, if he had surrendered Lu Qi, his life might have been lost.But a traitor is a traitor.

The city of Yanjing was white and sad for a short time, but in fact, although Lu Qian swept up the Jurchens this year, and hit the Northern Liao and Shu Song, the attack on the small court in Guizhou in the South of the Five Ridges is still going on, despite many battles , The north-south war ran across China from east to west, but Lu Qi's army was invincible, but the soldiers did not suffer much damage.Compared with the results achieved, this loss is not seen at all.

The Lingnan War and the battle with Beiliao were appetizers, and the collision with the Song Army in Guanzhong was also a no-brainer.

The Shu and Song Dynasties did their best. The army broke out of Xingyuan Mansion [Hanzhong], with a strength of up to [-].The leading generals are Liu Guangguo, Yao Pingzhong, Yao Youzhong, Liu Qi, etc., and there are also Wang De, Han Wu, Xie Yuan, Zhang Zhongfu, Zhang Zhongyan, etc. under his command. It is Su Yuanjing who controls the logistics transfer , Chen Yu, Zhao Bushi, Li Kui and other Zhao Song diehards!
But no bird.The Song army was considered a powerful infantry group, and it became a pure flesh and blood target in front of the artillery.The entire war process was a process in which the clumsy infantry group of the Song Army changed from defense-oriented to offensive-oriented, learning how to attack the enemy, but suffered heavy blows.

There are many horse troops in the Northwest Army.The cooperation between the horse army and the artillery, the former chasing and killing the disintegrated infantry, and the latter bombarding the orderly and serious infantry, complemented each other.

Lu Zhishen can only be said to have a passing grade in fighting alone, but there are many talents around him, those who came from the Zhao Song Dynasty, Monk Hua did not force them to meet Zhao Song's swordsmen.The Wu family [Wu Jie and Wu Lin], the Yang family [Yang Keshi, etc.], the Qu family [Cookie, Qu Duan], Wang Jin, Wang Yuan, etc., all of them are not used.Without them, the Northwest Army still has many soldiers and many generals, as well as many talented people.

For the fight against Zhao Song, Monk Hua used Suo Chao, Tang Bin, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, Shi Jin, Li Qiong and others as his generals, supplemented by Zhu Wu, a military strategist of Shenji.

The cannon is in front, the infantry is behind, and the cavalry is distributed on both wings.The formation is very ordinary, but the effect is unexpectedly good.

Facing the infantry array of the Song Army, the artillery opened fire and blasted. Seeing the chaos of the Song Army's infantry, they dispatched the armored horse troops on both wings to charge.It was easy to push back the army that Shu and Song Dynasty had tried their best to pull out.

However, it is too difficult to change the habits of the Song Army for more than a hundred years. With heavy armored infantry and crossbows as the main force, they are an army built on defense.However, the crossbows that they could use to kill the enemy in the past were now easily outmatched by cannons.The Song Army did not have the strongest guard of honor, and relied only on heavy-armored sword and ax soldiers to charge into the battle with the bombardment of artillery. It would be surprising if they could win and win.

If so, the great artist mustered up his courage and pressed on so tepidly.Let’s not explain how huge the psychological trauma of this kind of result was to the monarchs and ministers in Chengdu.

Let's just say that now, the main force of the Qi army's casualties this year is still Jurchen.Shan Chenzhou's [Zhu Tong, Lei Heng]'s losses in that battle surpassed the Northwest Army by more than one level, not to mention the battle of Liaoyang later.

There were also a large number of captives returning with the army, some of them were women and children of the Jurchen tribe sent back from the north, and the other part were prisoners of war on the field.

The number is beyond people's imagination, there are a full 2 people, and this is only part of the total number.You must know that 2 people were captured in the battle of Liaoyang alone, and there was the battle of Liaoxi Prefecture in the front, followed by the clearing and mopping up of the mixed Jiangnan and North Jurchens. These more than [-] people were selected as "top class". .

They were either prisoners of war from Bohai, Shiwei, or Khitan, or fair and young women and children.

The former does not have a strong sense of belonging to the Jurchens, while the latter is a good thing that can be sold anywhere.

Lu Qian didn't want to sell them all as slaves either.Half of these people will be brought back to Yidu. At that time, some of the women and children will be sold, mainly for veterans, and a large part of the rest will be brought into Huangzhuang.

And the other half, he also dealt with it in the same way.

Lu Qian is well aware of the development of Yanjing. The industry and commerce in this place is already recovering. Now, due to the stimulation of wool and cashmere, there is a considerable shortage of manpower.And as a good emperor, he must relieve the hunger and thirst of the people, so he came here with his hands.

Five to six thousand people were assigned to the local "Zhongliang" in Yanjing to taste the sweetness, and the remaining thousands of men, women, women and children were sent to Huangzhuang with a big wave of his hand.

In Yanjing Mansion, there are two lands with rich water and grass, Nanhaizi and Yanfangdian, which are the horse farms of Emperor Lu.There are many Khitan prisoners of war in it, and those who performed well, all of them were sent by their wives this time.Moreover, Yanjing Mansion has experienced many years of chaos in the late Liao Dynasty. According to population statistics, the ratio of men to women is somewhat unbalanced.Now Lu Qian has no way to give the bachelors in Yanjing Mansion a pure-blood Han daughter-in-law, even a Korean daughter-in-law is not satisfied, so he can only take a Jurchen wife.Of course, many of these Jurchen women were originally Han, Khitan, Bohai, etc.

When the Jurchens rose up, they swept through Liaodong, Shangjing and Zhongjing, how many women were looted, and where their former family members are now, etc., there is no way to say these things.When Lu Qian captured them, he didn't know that they might not be the real Jurchens, but so what?Do you want to send them back home?That's all for 'disorderly mandarin ducks'.

It is common for relatives to be separated during war.Don’t blame yourself for being miserable if you can’t find your family, just accept your fate.

Those women must have been mentally prepared. It is also a blessing for them who have endured hardships to find a man and form a family.

Moreover, Lu Qian also intends to build a city on the grassland north of Tanzhou, that is, to contact Bei'an Prefecture, so as to protect the pasture, right?

Otherwise, just like this one, once the Liao army came to kill, where would there be any paradise north of Tanzhou?Don't say where to put the horses, those small tribes who surrendered to Lu Qi, even if they fled into the city a little later, they must be careful not to be swept away by the Liao army coming from the north.

Now that Lu Qi has flattened the Jurchens, the remaining residue is no longer worthy of the distraction and worry of Lu Qi as a country. Its existence at the national level has plummeted, and it has become a small problem that a local state government can deal with. trouble.

Therefore, with Lu Qi freeing up his hands, the energy in the north will be put on the Liao army, so it is necessary to strengthen their control over the large grassland south of Bei'an Prefecture.To a certain extent, this matter is more about money, because raising sheep requires pastures and grasslands.

Therefore, building a city has become necessary and the most effective means.

But if you want to shelter and cover a huge pasture, you can't rely on a city alone, and you need a camp like the Pingliao Village before.

This is a big project.

It costs a lot of money and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Fortunately, its span is not small.

Both this and the ranch that is about to be designated require a lot of labor.Lu Qian didn't think there were too many prisoners at all, the men could work, and if they did more, he promised them to be honest and obedient, and they could go home after a few years of work.

But women and children are wealth.Treating them as property, as a kind of goods, and bartering them can save the court expenditure.

As for the troublesome craftsmen and project progress, there is really no need to worry.

There is no shortage of such people in the army and in the localities, any prefecture and county has them, and there are more in Yanjing City.Moreover, this is a headache for the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the cabinet. Lu Qian only needs to see the result.

Labor is a prisoner of war, and it is also appropriate to promote the Han people inside to be supervisors. Liaodong Han'er is willing to seize this opportunity to change his destiny.

Lu Qian already knew about Hu Yanzhuo's record and praised him a lot. As for Dahuridulu, he didn't even see him.Everything was entrusted to Hei Saburo. "General Huyan has made outstanding achievements in this trip to the north. Destroying Moge and losing the royal court has had a profound impact on the political situation in Northern Liao Dynasty. However, such credit is also shared by you two."

Song Jiang and Chao Gai were humble again and again, "These are all soldiers serving their orders, and the trivial merits of ministers and others are not worth mentioning."

Lu Qian laughed, "The merit of strategic planning and strategic planning is insignificant."

The reason why his emotions were high was because he really didn't expect that Hu Yanzhuo would be so powerful, destroying the Mogeshi royal court in one fell swoop, and capturing Dahuridulu, the white water king of Beiliao.

A very strange title, but no matter how strange it is, it is still a king, and it is one of the pillars of Beiliao.

Lu Qian stayed in Yanjing for many days.According to the way of the Southern Tour, interviewing the local old and lonely, interviewing local rich and powerful families, interviewing civil and military officials, and then going to the grassroots for a walk, paying silly money to the elderly and children, and even meeting the voters. Refugees from the North have captured a group of people's hearts, and this has just led the army Shi Shiran to return to Yidu.

In fact, in Yanjing Mansion, even if he doesn't play this kind of approachable, his reputation is unshakably lofty.

Thinking about how many years before the Yanjing Mansion was captured by Lu Qian, they were in fear for many years, lest they would be killed by the Jurchens.Especially after discovering the brutality of the Jurchens, the feelings of the latter became even stronger.

It was Lu Qian who relieved them of this danger, which in itself could win the gratitude and love of the people, not to mention that he also brought a stable life to the people of Yanjing.

The Liao Kingdom has been in chaos for many years, especially when refugees and refugees are rampant every year. The people are not only naked and hungry, but their lives are also unstable. In addition, the Khitan is oppressing hard. These days are very bitter.

After Lu Qian took over the chaotic land of Yanshan, there was some turmoil, which caused many people to worry, but as time went by, the people of Yanshan quickly tamed it.

Although Lu Qi fought, not all the people who fought were from their Yanjing Prefecture. Compared with the whole of Lu Qi, what are the people of their prefecture?
Under Lu Qian's rule, everyone can eat well, wear warm clothes and sleep well. It can be said that not only the safety of life is guaranteed, but they also see the hope of life and see the future.

This is the most precious thing that the people of Yanshan have longed for after years of turmoil and turmoil.

To this day, the people of Yanshan are grateful to Lu Qian without any publicity from the government. The turmoil when Lu Qi came to power has long been forgotten in the corner.
