Chapter 516: Coming to the Sea Again

Before leaving, Luo Cheng summoned Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi to talk for a long time.

In the end, he deliberately chatted with the two veterans of Yujuluo and Tu Wanxu for a long time, and asked them to take more care of the two young people, Du Da and Fusan, in the future.

Originally, Luo Cheng still wanted to take these two veterans to Liaodong, after all, although he was old, he had more experience. It is also a treasure to have such a veteran who has been in battle in the army. But the emperor asked the two to stay in Jiangnan as Taishou, and Luo Cheng couldn't do anything.

In the end, he went to the prisoner camp again, and talked to the nervous captives about the immigration to Liaodong, Luo Cheng promised that after arriving in Liaodong, they would be able to start again, even if the emperor said that after these rebel immigrants went to Liaodong, they must regain their freedom for the army for ten years, and grant land to the land, but ten years can wash away the sin of rebellion, which is actually worth it.

"Dashuai, Shichong is here to send Dashuai north."

Wang Shichong rushed from Jiangdu, he was awarded the title of Jiangnan pacification envoy by the emperor, responsible for the aftermath, and the original more than 20,000 Jianghuai soldiers who were recruited to quell the chaos are now also subordinate to him.

Even Du Fuwei and the Duke of Fu have to obey his command now.

"Why should Brother Wang be so polite."

Wang Shichong specially prepared a lot of gifts for Luo Cheng, loaded several large cars, all of which were good things, and even many Jianghuai beauties, Luo Cheng couldn't accept them.

"If the handsome man doesn't accept it, you will look down on me Wang Shichong."

"Hahaha, that's what I said, okay, then I'll take it."

As soon as Luo Cheng left, Wang Shichong just sneered.

25,000 men and horses went south to quell the chaos, and in three months, they went north to Liaodong, 25,000 when they came, but still 25,000 when they left, and hundreds of men and horses were lost in the middle, all of which were replenished on the spot.

In order to be in a hurry, this time I set off from Jiangning and went to Jingkou to take a boat, but I didn't cross the Jiangdu again, didn't take the canal, but went directly to the sea from the Yangtze River, and then went north along the coast to Donglai County, through the Miaodao Islands to Lushun, and then to the mouth of the Liaohe River.

The building ship of the Yangtze River.

Luo Cheng looked at the pile of gifts that came up, and took a look, they were indeed some good things, all kinds of rare things.

"Write everything down to the army's account, sell it back, and use the money to pay allowances to the righteous attendants in our army."

"What about the beauty, this Wang Shichong is very bold, he gave away eighteen beauties, all of them are twenty-eight beauties, I think they are still virgins."

"Eighteen, is this missing me ****, it is not suitable to keep women in the barracks, so, when I get to Liaodong, I will give them to Second Brother Shan and them."

"I have to give Lao Cheng and Yuan Qing two each, and comfort these two guys." Hou Mo Chen Yi said with a smile.

"Give it to them, and you won't need it now." Wang Ziming said with a smile.

The sails are gone.

The smile on Wang Shichong's face had been completely put away, and he turned around and said, "Go to Jiangning." ”

As soon as he arrived in Jiangning, Wang Shichong summoned a large number of military and political dignitaries such as Yujuluo, Tu Wanxu, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyi, and Zhao Yuankai.

Then he immediately announced that he would strictly follow the holy decree and strictly screen the rebellious backbone.

This screening immediately identified more than 50,000 people from the 150,000 rebels, and also implicated thousands of local wealthy families in seven counties.

For a while, people were panicked.

At this time, Wang Shichong announced that he could atone for his sins.

The so-called atonement is naturally to give money.

Those thousands of powerful families who were implicated were actually only related to some rebels, and most of them were unjustified disasters, but Wang Shichong didn't care, he wanted to atone for his sins and pay for his money.

even marked the price clearly, claiming that Tong Su was not deceived.

If you give money, you can atone for your sins and get out, and if you don't give it, you are a rebellious backbone, and you must be put to death.

In the end, countless wealthy families in the seven counties were blackmailed by Wang Shichong and went bankrupt, but in the end, they still couldn't scrape together enough money to atone for their crimes.

Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu came out to persuade, but Wang Shichong didn't care at all, and only said that he had the emperor's will.

So, in the end, after tossing for more than half a month, Wang Shichong had countless families, looted countless money, and finally killed more than 30,000 people.

Originally, according to Luo Cheng's explanation to him, even if he wanted to kill some backbones, he would kill more than 100 people or more at most, but Wang Shichong killed more than 30,000 people at once.

More than 30,000 were killed in seven counties, and more than 1,000 were confiscated.

In the end, Wang Shichong let go of the others and let them immigrate to Liaodong, but Wang Shichong was extremely ruthless, everyone was not allowed to take away any stitches and threads except for what they were wearing.

More than 100,000 rebels, as well as 300,000 or 400,000 rebel families, were ordered by Wang Shichong to move to Liaodong.

Regardless of whether the family is rich or poor, as soon as he gets on his migration list, then all the family property will be confiscated, and he can only go on the road alone.

He sent troops to escort them on the road, and only a little food was provided on the road every day, and as for the rest, life and death depended.

In this way, the Jiangnan rebellion, which was originally quelled by Luo Cheng with one blow, immediately boiled again.

Countless people in Jiangnan were resentful, they refused to obey the arrangements of the government, refused to hand over the wealth they had accumulated from generation to generation, and refused to leave their hometowns to go to Liaodong to ask for food.

They fled, they killed officials, they plundered.

Although there is no longer a self-proclaimed Son of Heaven figure like Liu Yuanjin for the time being, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River are already full of fugitive people, and there are fugitives gathered in countless mountains, forests, and rivers.

And at this time, the emperor actually issued another edict to Jiangnan.

"Three Expeditions to Goguryeo!"

As on the previous two occasions, the emperor again conscripted the soldiers of the Tianxia Prefecture and recruited sailors and sailors from Jianghuai to conscript.

In the same way, the people of Jianghuai also received the task of handing over and transporting grain.

This simply adds fuel to the fire.

Originally, after Liu Yuanjin's rebellion and Wang Shichong's 'appeasement', the counties in the south of the Yangtze River were now in dire straits, and the emperor still had to recruit troops and send husbands, who would suffer it.

So there were more fled, and more rebels from thieves.

Wang Shichong extorted a lot of money, and sent ships to Luoyang every day, most of which were given to the emperor, and some were given to the nobles and nobles, of course, he also left a lot for himself.

Jiangnan was already boiling, but the emperor of Luoyang, the eastern capital, didn't know about it at all.

Originally, the four or five hundred thousand people who were going to move to Liaodong, Wang Shichong tossed for a long time, and he couldn't even send a single one across the Yangtze River.

At the end of September.

Luo Cheng led a group of soldiers to arrive at Donglai Port.

As soon as I entered the port, I heard a message.

Donglai was too shou Zhou Fa was still critically ill, and when he heard that Luo Cheng had arrived, he asked Luo Cheng to come over to meet.

Luo Cheng rushed to the Taishou Mansion, Zhou Fashang only had his last breath left, he took Luo Cheng's hand and said, "I am in the sea again, but I have not been able to get involved, I will die if I am not with me, my determination will not be fruitful, and my life will not be successful." Please take over Donglai County for the time being, waiting for His Majesty's will. ”

After speaking, the fifty-eight-year-old famous general said goodbye to the world with infinite regret in his eyes.

fought hundreds of times in his life, but finally died before the start of the three expeditions, and never succeeded in destroying Goguryeo, a shame for Liaodong.

The father who served as the chief bookkeeper in Donglai told Luo Cheng that Zhou Fashang heard about the three marches and actively prepared for the war, but who knew that it would be gone in a blink of an eye.

Da Sui fell another pillar.

Laihu'er was still in Luoyang at this time, and Luo Cheng couldn't take care of Henan's affairs now, so he could only let his father help take care of it first, and then he wrote a seal to play the Ming Donglai Taishou Zhou Fashang died of illness, and let the emperor send a future to take over the post of Taishou and the head of the water division.

If nothing else, it must be that he will come to take over.

However, he also sent a letter to Luo Yi, asking him to see if there was a chance to put Dad, the main bookkeeper, in the position of Donglai County, so that after Lai Hu'er commanded the army, Dad, the second-in-command of the county, could still take over Donglai County.

The emperor had already ordered three expeditions to Goguryeo, but now that it was September, Liaodong was beginning to cool down. Therefore, there is no way to fight this year, so we can only start mobilizing, and it is estimated that we will have to wait until the first month of next year to officially send troops.

Prior to this, Luo Cheng, the general who was too defensive in Liaodong and knew the military forces of Liaodong and Liaoxi, could be regarded as the supreme commander of the Liaodong Theater.

Whether there will be a few local battles before the army sets out is something that no one can predict.

But Luo Cheng can only say that Yang Guang dared to immediately issue the will of the three expeditions to Goguryeo at this time, this courage is really not ordinary, what is the chaos in the world, not to mention rest and rest, even if it is good to recuperate for three or five years and then fight, but he is non-stop, half a year apart, he actually ordered the expedition to Liao again.
