Dao Baifeng asked while picking bubbles for him: "How are our Meng Yangren behaving in the siege today?" ”

"Do you need to ask? In addition to the Han army, it is our Meng Yangren who has made the most contributions. Today, I led the charge, and though I wasn't the first to rush to the city, I was the first to rush to the top of the city, but I rushed forward earlier than all the other toasts, and I killed the Ava people the most. Dao Yubin said: "I let them all go to the city before I came down from the city, and I don't know how many things I can grab." ”

"And robbing things! General Mu said that it is not allowed to rob things at night, so as not to see each other cannibalism. He also sent out the military police, and all those who found robbery without permission were killed on the spot. Dao Baifeng said.

"This, then didn't we pay for nothing?" Dao Yubin said anxiously.

"How is this possible! Ah Lang will not treat the person who has made a contribution this time. Dao Baifeng said.

"That's right, Zhu Yang doesn't look like a mean and unkind person. And if he doesn't have any reward for sending troops this time, everyone will not be willing to follow him in the future. Dao Yubin said.

"I wish I could reward a few more slaves, even children. In the past few years, we have died a lot, and we need to replenish it. If only you could give us this piece. Dao Yubin said again.

"How is this possible!" Dao Baifeng said. Dao Yubin himself knew that it was impossible, so he didn't say anything more.

After a while, after all the bubbles were picked, Dao Baifeng took out the potion and smeared it on him, and said to him after wiping it: "Okay, it's all done." Don't go down to the ground for the next few days, let them make you a stretcher to carry. ”

"Stretcher? What is Stretcher? Dao Yubin asked.

"It's something that is put on both sides of a piece of cloth with a wooden stick, and can be carried by two people and one person. You'll find out tomorrow when you see it. Dao Baifeng explained.

"It's a new gadget invented by the Han people, and the Han people don't know how to use these things." Dao Yubin said.

"This thing is very useful, people who have injured their legs and feet and can't walk on a stretcher are much faster than people walking with help." Dao Baifeng raised his eyebrows and said.

"Okay, I know, tomorrow I'll see what a stretcher is, and I'll try the new things of the Han people." Dao Yubin said.

Dao Baifeng said a few more words to him and walked out of the tent.

As soon as she came out of Dao Yubin's tent, a Mengyang native soldier said to her, "Third Miss, Tusi called you over." ”

"It's so late, what did Daddy tell me to do?" Dao Baifeng muttered and walked towards Dao Mudan's tent.

When she entered, Dao Mu Dan was reading some book. He saw Dao Baifeng walk in, put down the book and stood up and said with a smile: "Picked a bubble for Dao Yubin for a long time?" ”

"Well, Daddy, my cousin's left foot is burned all over the soles of his feet, but fortunately he wears thick cloth shoes on his feet, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take his feet." Dao Baifeng said.

The father and daughter said a few more words, and Dao Baifeng asked, "Daddy, what did you ask me to come over?" ’

"You tell King Min tomorrow that we don't want wealth this time, just the population." Dao Mu Dan said.

"Why?" Dao Baifeng asked puzzled.

"Bai Feng, our Mengyang has lost too much population in the past few years, thousands of people have died in the conflict, just one day of attacking Ava City today, more than 300 people died, and more than 200 people were injured. We urgently need to increase the population. Dao Mu Dan said.

"I know, I'll talk to Zhu Yang tomorrow." Dao Baifeng said. Dao Yubin mentioned the population just now, and now her father has also mentioned the population, which shows that their population is indeed in urgent need of replenishment.

"We must get King Min to agree to replenish our population more. This is very important, it's up to you, Bai Feng. Dao Mu Dan turned his head and stared at Dao Baifeng's eyes and said.

Dao Baifeng didn't speak again, just nodded.

……

……

After breakfast the next day, Zhu Yang and Mu Ang entered the city with their army. At this time, the city was still stained with blood, and the bodies of those who died yesterday and those who were killed in the night had not yet been cleaned up, and they were in disarray.

But order has been restored in the city. The military police, wearing red scarves, maintained order everywhere and blasted out the people of the city to welcome His Royal Highness King Min into the city. Of course, although they were blasted out to welcome His Royal Highness King Min, they had no chance to get close to Zhu Yang, so they could only watch from a distance, kneel down according to the order, and stand up after Zhu Yang walked over.

Zhu Yang and Mu Ang did not live in the most luxurious village in the city, but chose two adjacent houses of ordinary wealthy families, one east and one west.

Generally speaking, the first thing to do after entering the city is to restore order, pacify the people, treat the wounded, arrange the shelter of the soldiers, collect food, etc. Zhu Yang and Mu Ang did the same, posting notices throughout the city, and considering that most of the people in Ava did not even know Dai Wen, they also arranged for the notices to be read aloud in the main streets of the city.

Of course, the rich people in the city do not belong to the category of 'people', except for a few merchants who have done business in Mengyang, Mubang, Dali and other places survived, the other hundreds of middle and upper class families have been raided, not only the goods have been stolen, but even the master and slave have been arrested, Zhu Yang has arrested a total of 10,000 or 20,000 people.

The fate of the children is tragic. "Your Royal Highness, according to the usual practice, if you catch a child in the frontier, you have to castrate some and send some to the capital as eunuchs. Your Highness, when I returned from the capital, I remembered that Your Majesty had reduced the servants of the palace, and there were only about 2,000 eunuchs, so it was better to castrate only 300 young children this time, of which 200 were sent to the capital, and the other 100 were to enrich the servants of His Royal Highness. Mu Ang said.

"This, I can't use so many eunuchs alone." Zhu Yang said. He felt unbearable about castrating children, but rules are rules, and the eunuchs of the palace either came out of here or there, and it was better to castrate barbarians than to castrate Han people. But he still didn't want to add eunuchs to his palace this time, and seeing this matter with his own eyes was completely different from someone else's castration and sending it to the palace.

"Your Highness can't use it, you can give it to the princes of the Central Plains. The prince of the Central Plains is not close to the frontier, and the eunuchs can only obey the will of the Han people, but there are so many people who volunteer to be eunuchs! The minister heard that the Zhou palace in Kaifeng was very embarrassed, and he had to ask His Majesty for the allocation of dozens of eunuchs. Mu Ang said.

"Then you can do it, Lone just asks." Zhu Yang could only say in the end.

With the exception of children, those who were captured were held with the captives they had captured some time earlier. These people will be sent back to Dali and Yongchang, and scattered and distributed to various places. Some of them will also be distributed to the toasts who follow the battle.

The ordinary people in the city did not panic at the arrest of the rich people in the city, and some even scolded the rich people behind their backs: "Yes! It's long overdue to arrest them all, a bunch of unkind guys for the rich. It would be better if the new king could give us a portion of these goods. ”

After all these things have been done, the most important thing is to reward the meritorious deeds. Although the war is not over, and it is likely that they will have to fight another battle with the main force of the Ava people who have returned to their division, at least for now, the credit for this attack on Ava City will be clearly assessed, and the reward will be determined, and the reward will be given after the war is over.

It's easy to evaluate the credit, Mu Ang and Zhu Yang stood next to the battlefield and watched the whole siege process - there were no cannons in Ava City, and they had clairvoyance, so they could see the whole process very clearly - so the credit was assessed fairly and justly, and the local officials took Meng Yangren as the first credit, Mu Bang as the second, and so on, everyone had no opinion. Military generals also have their own evaluations.

But then when the reward was set, it was different, the generals didn't dare to fight for anything, but the local officials were not only Meng Yang, but all the local officials almost unanimously said: to the population. It's not that they don't want money, but in addition to money, every local official also wants some people.

This made Zhu Yang really decided, and finally decided that in addition to rewarding each family with a lot of property, the matter of rewarding slaves would be suppressed for the time being, and a decision would be made after the battle was over.

In private, Zhu Yang and Mu Ang said: "According to what they said to Gu in private, Gu has to reward them with the 20,000 people captured this time in order to meet their requirements." How could Lone give them all the population? ”

"Even if it's Meng Yang, can't it?" Mu Ang thought for a moment and asked.

Zhu Yang was also silent for a moment and then said, "Meng Yang can't do it either!" The most important thing for these local officials is balance, and in the balance, their power is weakened little by little. One of the reasons why Lone decided to send Ava was that Ava's strength was too strong, which affected the balance here. Therefore, how can Lone raise a strong Meng Yang. ”

Zhu Yang's policy towards the local officials is in the same vein as Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, to beat every Tusi who is too strong, either split it or defeat it, and at the same time continue to sinicize the barbarian people near places where there are more Han people.

"What are you going to do here, Ava?" Mu Ang asked again.

"Set up the Ava military and civilian government and relocate some Han people. I know that there are not many Han people in Yunnan now, there are only more than 250,000 people in the 26th year of Hongwu, and even if a few are exiled, it will not be enough to fill the current state capital. The Han people in Yongchang can't be too few, so I discussed with Zhuo Jing to see if we could move a few thousand people over. ”

At the same time, the left and right guards of Ava were set up, the left guard was mainly Han Chinese plus a small number of locals, and the right guard was composed of locals. A little further away from Ava City, a state capital was set up, and the locals served as hereditary Tochishu and Totoji. ”

"Set up medical centers and Confucianism in Awa City and nearby Tuxian County, use medicine to attract their interest in learning Chinese and Chinese, and then use Confucianism to educate them."

"Ava City is too far away from Yongchang, and the middle is the place of Tusi, leaving troops here to garrison, unless you move the palace from Yongchang to Ava, and guard it with the vassal king, it will be a little dangerous." Mu Ang said.

"Then he moved the palace and lived in Ava for a long time." Zhu Yang asked categorically.
