A few days later, Xu Shiji led his troops to drive straight in, swept through Liyang County, and the Jianghuai army learned that Du Fuwei's chief was captured, and the generals were captured one after another, or died on the battlefield.

The city guards, county commanders, and squires went out of the city to meet Dahua's imperial army.

In the past few days, the territory on the north bank of the Yangtze River has been fully divided into the territory of Dahua, and the Jiangbei military war is over, and all that remains is to promote the imperial court decree, eliminate some remnant bandits, and stabilize local tranquility.

"The new rules of the imperial court have been posted, and the tax will be exempted from this year's tax, and the people's rations will become sufficient."

"Yes, this new court is much better than the previous dynasty, and it is better than Governor Du to govern here, the soldiers do not offend the people, and there is no need to worry about our family property being taken away and robbed." Some squires were walking and chatting in the streets, their faces showing delight.

In the era of chaos, these squires with good property became like lambs to the slaughter, and they were easily robbed of their property or exploited some.

When the rebels from all walks of life pass by, they must let the local squires pay for the food, otherwise, they will rob openly, rob homes and houses, and plunder.

Nowadays, the imperial court has orders and regulations to protect the finances of the people and the gentry, and does not destroy the current personal property of the local people, which stabilizes the people's hearts.

As for the land reform and the new tax, it is necessary to wait for the arrival of the assassin and the county appointed by the imperial court, and recommend it step by step, so as to realize the same track between the local government and the central government.

Luo Zhaoyun changed into ordinary clothes, and under the protection of the guards and Qingshuang, he walked on the streets of Jiangdu, looking at the prosperous recovery scene in the city, and was still somewhat satisfied.

The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are full of outstanding people, the streets and buildings have local characteristics, the river embankment and stone bridges, the water canopy boats, and many women by the river are washing clothes.

The suffering of the troubled times seems to have subsided, and Jiangdu City has changed hands several times, but the city has not been greatly damaged, and it is easy to recover.

Luo Zhaoyun knew in his heart that the south was suitable for cultivating rice and vegetables, with two or three crops a year, and was a grain production base, and Jianghuai was a salt-producing land, so it needed to attach great importance to the port of overseas trade.

In Jiangdu County, it is more suitable to put loyal generals under the care of them, such as Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong and others, not to interfere in local politics, but also to protect the tranquility of the coast, so that the south of the Yangtze River can develop steadily.

After inspecting it, he returned to the Jiangdu Palace and sent someone to bring Du Fuwei to talk to this Jianghuai hero about how to recover it.

After all, it is difficult to cross the river to fight, and now that several forces are gathering on the south bank of the Yangtze River, if you want to attack strongly, you need to pay a certain price.

It would be better if Du Fuwei was sent to lobby and solve the Nanjiang problem without bloodshed.

When Du Fuwei was brought up, there was no embarrassment and blood stains from the previous days, all the armor on his body was replaced, he was wearing a green shirt, his body was straight, but he had some heroic spirit.

However, there are chains on the wrists and ankles, which bring some discounts to the overall image.

It's not that this doesn't give preferential treatment to the captives, it's really Du Fuwei's martial arts, if he doesn't put on the chain, I'm afraid this lion will be powerful and difficult to deal with.

Luo Zhaoyun sat on the high chair and looked at Du Fuwei who was imprisoned at the bottom of the stairs, his mentality was as usual, he did not suffocate his talents, nor did he sneer, now at his height, the world is unified, unstoppable, and his desire for military talents is not as strong as it was at the beginning.

"Grass man Du Fuwei, I have seen His Majesty Dahua!"

Du Fuwei still knows the times, and he didn't fight to the end, even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about Liyang's family and clansmen, so he didn't pretend to be a hero here, he had to think of death.

"Du Fuwei, you are guilty of causing trouble to Jianghuai and confronting the imperial court?"

Du Fuwei said indifferently: "The chaos in the world is undecided, the princes are divided, each is its own master, Jianghuai is not used by the Dahua court, I led the Jianghuai people to rise up, but also to protect the peace of the hometown, I don't want to let people eat meat, what is the crime?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun said: "But thousands of Dahua soldiers died on the battlefield because of your Jianghuai army, tens of thousands of sailors, and the vanguard elite, died on the land of Jianghuai." ”

Du Fuwei was silent for a moment, this is a fact, the Dahua army has died a lot, and the Jianghuai soldiers have also lost sixty or seventy thousand, all of which are damaged.

"The grass people are willing to redeem their merits!"

"How to redeem?" What Luo Zhaoyun was waiting for was for him to say it himself.

Du Fuwei knew that Emperor Dahua was very shrewd and would not take the initiative to ask him for a criminal minister, although he had the heart to solicit, but after all, the Jianghuai army had killed tens of thousands of Dahua soldiers, and if the emperor made a will, he would pardon the guilt of the thief leader, which would inevitably make those soldiers who died in battle unhappy and affect the morale of the army.

If Du Fuwei lowered his posture, took the initiative to bring it up, redeemed his merits, and moved Emperor Dahua, it would have become of different significance. That Emperor Dahua was thinking about Du Fuwei's value, and the perspective of reducing the casualties of soldiers in the future, so that Du Fuwei could make meritorious contributions, but he was justified and occupied the commanding heights of morality.

This is the emperor's tricks, Luo Zhaoyun has gradually used them freely, if you don't understand these imperial techniques, it is difficult to control so many ancient ministers who are as resourceful as demons.

It is not enough to rely on force to deter, Luo Zhaoyun gradually figured out some experience of being an emperor.

Du Fuwei continued: "The north of the Yangtze River has been recovered by the imperial court, but several counties south of the Yangtze River are still a group of dragons without a leader, and the situation of non-stop imperial court dispatch, especially the auxiliary Gongtuo of Danyang County, and I am a sworn brother, he currently has 80,000 heavy troops, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, uniting Yanling County, Biling County, Wu County, Yicheng County, etc., it is also possible to resist the imperial court for a year and a half, which will cause a lot of trouble to the imperial court southward army, and also affect the great cause of the unification of the imperial court. It was not bloody, Danyang County was recovered, and then the imperial army crossed the Yangtze River and pacified Jiangnan in one fell swoop. ”

"How can I trust your words, in case you escape the river and join forces with Fugong Tuo, wouldn't it be a return to the mountain?" Luo Zhaoyun asked rhetorically.

Du Fuwei smiled bitterly: "There are many captured by the righteous sons and generals of the grass people, and many of the family members and clansmen of Liyang County must have been captured. ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, with these hostages in hand, he was not worried that Du Fuwei would continue to rebel after crossing the river, and asked: "After the matter is completed, I can pardon you and other crimes and give you a certain reward." ”

Du Fuwei knelt down and said: "I don't dare to ask for a reward, as long as Your Majesty can forgive the crimes of the grass people, their families, and generals, avoid punishment and killing, and return our free body, I will be grateful to Your Majesty." ”
