The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

Chapter 518: Pingding Northwest

The soldiers had already had morning exercises at this time, and it was easy to line up on the school grounds. Several deputy commanders don't know the situation now, and they are still planning to make thousands of soldiers (soldiers). Lord Zhao is still not at ease, so I will take a look at the last.

These imperial troops from Kyoto were strictly guarded on one side, and carts and carts of things arrived in line.

Although Fan Ziliang and others were not at ease, Zhao Qingyi invited Wu Liang, who was an apprentice and grandson she knew, and the army commander with the rank of guerrilla general, Yang Wu, to protect her on horseback to the forefront of the army.

The four deputy generals looked at all this curiously, and then asked Fan Ziliang, who only asked them to wait.

Tens of thousands of people lined up on the school grounds, and the chariots and horse army horses were already crowded before they were pulled out. This big camp school ground is no smaller than the *** square.

Zhao Qingyi's waist was straight, and when he rode the horse towards the middle, he suddenly saw a few black eagles hovering in the sky. Zhao Qingyi thought about it and asked Yang Wu for his bow and arrow.

This is the time to pretend to restrain them.

She pulled the arrow up the bow, let it go, and with a swish, a large black eagle fell from the sky with a scream.

The soldiers cheered. Xiazhou is located in the frontier. These Li Ye soldiers must have done a lot of evil, but their respect for the warriors is stronger than anyone else.

Zhao Qingyi persisted with an empty stomach and the exhaustion of busy running around all night, with great perseverance. She hit three arrows again, and all the arrows shot down the birds of prey, and the warriors on the scene couldn't help but yearn for them.

The soldiers could not help shouting: "Mighty! Mighty!"

Zhao Qingyi returned the bow to Yang Wu. Even if Yang Wu had doubts, he was close to three points in his heart.

Zhao Qingyi slowed his horseshoe when he saw that he was approaching the middle position.

Zhao Qingyi mentioned the inner force and said loudly: "The sons of the northwest! I, Zhao Jiqing, deputy chief of the right Shenwei army, deputy envoy of the Great Zhou Xuanfu, was ordered by the Emperor of the Great Zhou to come to condolences you on his behalf!"

The soldiers in the northwest looked at each other, not knowing how to react to such words.

Zhao Qingyi said again: "The soldiers and people in the northwest are suffering. I heard that Xiqiang and Tubo often looted, and even the northern Khitan tribes often looted. Are there any relatives among you who have been looted by them?"

At this time, the audience was silent for a while, and suddenly someone shouted: "My mother and my sister were killed by them!"

Another person shouted: "My father and brother also died in the hands of the Huren!"

"And my grandfather and uncle, who were taken away by Hu in the early years!"

Others cried and said, "My family married me five years ago, but she was taken away!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but this was the case in the Northwestern Land of Hundred Battles. Although Dazhou’s salary was not low, it was impossible for everyone to make a fortune for the soldiers underneath. They came out as soldiers and their relatives had to guard their hometown.

Zhao Qingyi said, "Why don't you move your parents and relatives to a safe place?"

The soldiers at the bottom couldn't help feeling that Master Zhao didn't have a backache while talking while standing. This had the same effect as "Why not eat meat", but unfortunately they didn't know this allusion.

A soldier who had lost a loved one shouted: "Where do we move to? If we are rich, where will we be soldiers?"

"Yes, we don't know where we can move to, and we have no money or land in the background, so our relatives won't be bullied?"

Ordinary soldiers can't help but can't help but be exempted from taxes, and if there is no foundation for leaving their hometown, should they sell themselves as slaves?

But in other places, those who have the land of the master will reject the outsiders.

It is also that Li Ye has been collecting money and enjoying power in recent years, and he was not very concerned about the army’s suggestions. At this time, a brave court official came and asked these words directly to God, even if he was told not to mess up before. Speaking, still speaking at this time.

Zhao Qingyi said: "The emperor has been thinking about the suffering of your Northwest Army, saying that he wants to treat the soldiers in the northwest well. Silver. The Xiazhou camp has 50,000 soldiers and the Xiang army has 30,000. At the beginning, I served as a servant by the emperor's side. The emperor said that the Northwest Army was very hard. Therefore, soldiers from other places received thirty-two salaries a year. After dialing it down, the soldiers of the Northwest Army can receive fifty taels a year, and the Xiang Army can basically receive thirty taels."

The soldiers are not good at mathematics, but they know how much salary they receive each year and how many bans there are in the camp.

The soldiers were dissatisfied one by one, and one of the soldiers with a loud voice said: "We only got twenty taels!"

In fact, even if it’s twenty taels, it’s better than an ordinary farmer. Otherwise, who does this job?

One person started, and they all started talking.

"Where are the fifty taels? Your lord is joking?"

"The Forbidden Army does not have 50,000 people..."

"Sir, don't lie to us!"

"I haven't received this amount of payment!"

Zhao Qingyi looked at breaking their psychological defenses, and then said: "Your situation, the emperor’s son, the eighth prince, has long known! The eighth prince and I will tell the emperor truthfully! Just yesterday, the eighth prince asked the loyalty and courage about this matter. About Hou Liye, it turns out that all the money you deserve was taken by Li Ye! The eighth prince was very angry and wanted to take Li Ye back to Kyoto to see the emperor. Li Ye refused to offend the eighth prince, so we general Yao general Li Karma is taken down!"

When these words came out, there was an uproar in the room, and all the soldiers were at a loss. In the past two decades, Li Ye has been the emperor of the Northwest. How can it be said that he was taken down as soon as he was taken.

At this time, the four deputy all present felt wrong, and they had to step forward to stop them and order their subordinates to issue orders, but they were stopped by Fan Ziliang, Tan Qi and others.

Fan Ziliang said solemnly: "Do you want to rebel?"

All four of them turned pale, and seeing that all of the soldiers underneath were all attracted by Zhao Jiqing, at this time they were more concerned about why they didn't get the military salary they deserved.

At this time, relying on the confidant of Li Ye in the army to fight against the three thousand people of the Kyoto Imperial Army was not enough.

When they hesitated in their hearts, they heard Zhao Qingyi say: "Li Ye was not ordered by the emperor, and he has been condemned by the sword of Shangfang! And I was ordered by the emperor to re-issue two-year military pay to the soldiers in the northwest! I have shipped the silver! Everyone wants it. Don't lead the salary?"

"Yes! Want!"

"Leading salary!"

At this time, the voices of the soldiers were louder than ever, and they received two years of military salary. I heard Master Zhao said that the imperial army’s salary was still fifty taels, which was one hundred taels!

Zhao Qingyi took the horse whip and pointed out the arrogance of the king, and said: "Okay! Everyone has a share! Now I order the battalions to order the team and pay attention to military discipline. No one can disturb the soldiers of the Shenwei Army to give you money. !" (Note: One hundred people are the capital, five capitals are one battalion, so one battalion is five hundred people)

"Hurrah! Long live!" The soldiers all cheered.

Zhao Qingyi was shocked when she heard Long live. She was careful and hurriedly shouted: "Long live the emperor! Great Zhou Yongchang!"

The soldiers underneath shouted: "Long live the emperor! Great Zhou Yongchang! Long live the emperor! Great Zhou Yongchang!"

Zhao Qingyi waved his hand, and saw the soldiers of the Shenwei Army bring up carts of silver and lined up in front of them. The commanders of the battalions had already sent Captain Du to form a team. The heart was fiery, and he didn't dare to mess around, so he was afraid. I can't pay for the army.

Zhao Qingyi took the lead and gave them 100 taels of silver. There are still a lot of silver taels that can be transported back to the court. In other words, a large part of these silver taels can be stored in the northwest but recorded in the records.

It was only half a moment, when a team of people on the school field began to divide the money, Zhao Qingyi also took the signature of the silver to let them press their fingerprints.

Taking the battalion as a unit to receive silver, the soldiers received a heavy one hundred taels of silver in half a day, and they were happy, and most people would not think of Li Ye anymore.

A small number of people dare not touch everyone for Li Ye's sake.

Zhao Qingyi saw that the major event was basically settled, and his heart relaxed, and then let the battalion commanders go to practice busy.

Zhao Qingyi entered the handsome account, and Fan Ziliang urged a dozen deputy generals and military commanders to come to see her, and then asked Yang Wu and Wu Liang to come.

"I will see Master Zhao at the end!" At this time, half of the people knelt down to worship, and half of them were dissatisfied.

Zhao Qingyi didn't care too much, just said: "Flat yourself."

After they were all flat, there was a deputy Wu who said: "Master Zhao, you will be brave, what do you mean?"

Zhao Qingyi glanced at him coldly and said, "What do you mean? You tell me, this Northwest lied about military information, lied about the number of soldiers, sold weapons, murdered court officials, and even had to tell the people in and out of the city and on official roads. Collect money, are these all true?"

Deputy Wu Dutong didn't expect that she could list these, and even if he was in his position, he didn't know these, and the credibility was not high.

Zhao Qingyi snorted coldly: "You officials, have you ever thought that the people can't live anymore, they are all dead, what do you eat? Do you go farming by yourself? Or eat grass? You pay, the people, the people. If the people do not exist, you will be attached! What kind of man is it to attack the defenseless, kind-hearted people? You have been in the army for so many years, how dare you not destroy the kingdom of Xiqiang, rob them of their land, and rob the wife of the king of Xiqiang What? You did it, then you can make a fortune and give you honors, and I will give you a big letter! Look at you, you are useless, and claim to be the elites of the Northwest. Following Li Ye will only bully the weak and fear the hard. , Put a raging nest!"

All the generals were blushing, but Zhao Qingyi's conscience could not be scolded by Zhao Qingyi, but people in this era still have a sense of morality. They can't refute it face to face. If they want to oppose Zhao Jiqing, at this time everyone has not passed the air, there is no organization discipline and rebellion goal. , And there is no leader.

Zhao Qingyi flashed cold eyes and said: "Li Ye is dead. His sins have long been proved by the court. If you don't believe me, ask General Yang, this lord has been to the northwest last year. If the court does not get evidence, Li Ye's crimes are too numerous to list. The imperial court has always been tolerant, how could he be beheaded directly? His relatives will be escorted back to Beijing and handed over to the Sansi for retrial and inform the world."

Several senior generals in the Northwest Battalion felt scared at this time and did not know where to go.

Zhao Qingyi said, "If you have committed any major taboos with Li Ye, the official does not know at this time. You have to **** the Li family members into Beijing and peel off many witnesses in order to tell the truth. You want to be loyal to Li Ye, no matter what. It is your freedom to commit suicide and follow him or... to avenge Li Ye from the court and the sage."

Hearing "Xiang Sheng, revenge for Li Ye", there was no time for the generals present to be aggrieved at this moment, and he half kneeled on the ground and said: "The general will not dare!"

Li Ye is dead, what else can I say at this time? Even if he had been promoted at the beginning, he was judged to be a court sinner at this time, where could they commit suicide and follow, or revenge against the holy. Wasn't that putting the Jiu Clan into death?

Zhao Qingyi said: "How kind the emperor treats Li Ye, others don't know, don't you know?"

"Know...we know."

"The emperor is the king of benevolence."

"The emperor also let Li Ye's daughter be the princess, he treated her very well, it was Li Ye's sacred grace."

They all agreed with each other and quickly stated their positions.

Zhao Qingyi said: "It seems that you understand that if the saint is not merciful, can Li Ye be domineering in the Northwest for more than ten years? It is really that Li Ye has lost his role as a minister of man. The people are like pigs like dogs. This is due to the aura. Although he had the power to expel the humiliation, the sages praised the merits, and promoted exceptionally, but the past ten years of doing evil has also exhausted his vitality."

Someone echoed: "Yes! Exactly!"

Someone said: "Li Ye is exhausted, and I am not surnamed Li. It is not the same as him."

All others seconded.

Zhao Qingyi said again: "There is no shortage of people who can be officials in this dynasty for decades. If you feel chilled, discouraged, or feel that the court is unfair, so you want to resign, this official can give you the shots. When the official returns to Beijing, he goes to the staff department to eliminate the official status for you."

The military officers present were all embarrassed, and their positions were not low. People in this world who can be officials do not want to go back to be ordinary people.

One person asked, "My lord, how can I have this idea? I don't have the surname Li, Zhongyonghou, no, Li Ye is very sinful, how can I be rebellious? Dead man, my lord is a lesson!"

One by one, they quickly showed their loyalty, and then asked Zhao Qingyi to distinguish right from wrong.

Fan Ziliang thought to himself: Lost to Zhao Zijing with a mouth! It is said that Zhuge Liang talked about Confucianism, and that was the case.

Zhao Qingyi sighed for a long time, rubbed his temples again, and said: "The officer and the soldiers have been busy all day and night. At this time, they are not very clear and want to take a day off. Go down and think about whether you have done anything with Li Yeshi. If you have something terrible, at this time the first evil has been condemned, and you will be lenient. If you are handed over to the third division to hold you accountable, you will be exhausted. If there are those who are chilling and want to resign, go and think clearly. The court accepts anyone's resignation. Let's go down first."

Everyone looked at each other, and then listened to Zhao Qingyi's order from Wu Liang who came in and said: "Wu Liang, I'm so hungry, you can get me something to eat."

Wu Liang was overjoyed and said, "Yes."

Everyone withdrew from the camp, and those high-level thoughts were confused, Wu Liang went to prepare Zhao Qingyi's meal, and also ordered the cooking class to prepare food for the Shenwei army.

The generals couldn't help holding Yang Wu, who was looking at Zhao Jiqing's friendship, to ask for ideas, and they didn't care that some of them had higher positions than him.

Yang Wu said, "I think... Master Zhao didn't mean to rush to kill him."

"Lao Yang, you are familiar with Mr. Zhao. We are all brothers for many years, so we have to bring them together!" A military commander said earnestly, and the others also agreed.

Even if these mid-level and high-level generals are dissatisfied, they don’t have Li Ye as the backbone. They have to set up another banner to fight against the court. No one has this kind of fire. At this time, after being beaten by Zhao Qingyi but leaving room for operation, all of them wanted to protect their families. Position.

...

Zhao Qingyi and the soldiers still got food and rest. At this time, except for some people in the big camp, no one came to be the first bird to resist Zhao Qingyi.

Then, Zhao Qingyi stayed in the camp for several days, and getting the generals of the camp basically swearing an oath of loyalty to the court.

Zhao Qingyi studied the ideological and political education of later generations, and held tea parties for these generals who have expressed their opinions, and held criticism and self-criticism. They criticized and corrected themselves as comrades. No, they were officials of the imperial court, not Li Zhong's domestic slaves.

In the past, those who had a deep relationship with Li Ye, as long as there were no murder cases involving innocent people, they were dealt with according to warnings, fines, demerits, detentions, and demotions. Those who did meritorious service could revoke the sanctions, and that would not hinder promotion.

Later, the lieutenant soldiers of the Xiazhou camp returned to their hearts, the Northwest Army and the Shenwei Army, as well as cultural activities to the countryside, brought the artists of the original Houfu to play music, and there were also Xuanzhen pretending bands to play.

On the other side, Guo Yankai also accepted a part of the civil servants. The civil servants tried to survive and clear the relationship, but Guo Yankai wanted to keep people to handle political affairs and control the yamen’s messengers to maintain local order, and to accept civil servants who had not committed serious crimes. Wear crime and meritorious service.

The generals who went to the banquet actually got Li Ye's heart more than those who stayed in the camp. Now they did not kill, but they did not let them go easily.

People from the Xiazhou Chamber of Commerce temporarily went to jail and ransacked their homes for selling ironware and communicating with foreign countries. Because they mostly relied on colluding with Li Ye to privately swallow the food, wages and weapons of the Ministry of Commerce, their industry registration will be nationalized.

The silver greed of the Li group was successively found out by the guards, and all of them were registered and registered in the treasury that was collected first.

When the situation was settled, Zhao Qingyi sent the generals in the Xiazhou camp who wanted to commit their crimes to garrison troops in Shizhou, Yinzhou, and Youzhou. These local generals were originally restrained by Li Ye, and they were all attached to him at this time, expressing their allegiance to the court and the present.

Zhao Qingyi and Guo Yankai stayed in the northwest for nearly two months to clean up the abuses left by Li Ye and maintain the stability of the northwest. Until October, the court really sent Guo Yankai's uncle Pan Yun to come to serve as the Xiazhou Jiedu Envoy and control the northwest. Garrison all over the military roads.

Zhao Qingyi, Guo Yankai, and Pan Yun handed over important military and political affairs. Li Ye, the Xiazhou Chamber of Commerce, and several officials with a deeper understanding of the world were copied down. Together, they totaled more than 50 million taels of silver. This is their nearly two decades. Embrace the imperial court's side silver and scrapped property. There are also some rare treasures that cannot be easily valued.

They left 20 million taels to the Northwest for the Northwest Army's salary for the next few years, and other treasures, along with the family of Li's family and other important criminals, were transported back to Kyoto.
