Chapter 219: Withdrawal as Promised (II)

Just after Prince Dan left, Gao Yuan also received a message from Daijun that he knew that there had been a strong rebellion in Daijun, but fortunately he had made enough preparations in Daijun, so this rebellion was immediately quelled and did not cause any turmoil.

In fact, Gao Yuan also expected the rebellion of Haoqiang, because when he had not sent troops, the Haoqiang of Daijun had already been operating in secret, and as soon as he left Daijun, they would definitely not miss this opportunity, so he left Li Yinghong in Daijun, how correct it was, only Li Yinghong was stationed in Daijun, and this rebellion could be quelled so easily.

However, the scale of the Haoqiang rebellion is still a little beyond the expectations of the plateau, how big is the place in Daijun, how many people are in total, and thirty-seven Haoqiang and about 15,000 people were dispatched at one time, so it can be said that all the big Haoqiang in the Daijun area were dispatched. But this is okay, this time it will sweep away the powerful forces of Daijun, and there is no need to worry about the powerful people making any big trouble in the future.

But this news still gave Gao Yuan a warning, in this era, the local powerful forces do have a lot of activity energy, and they really can't be underestimated. Now that he has left Daijun for more than a month, and the battle against Yan Guo has been completely won, Yan Guo has also admitted defeat, and also agreed to all the conditions offered by the plateau, so he can also consider returning to Daijun, and the rest of the things here are left to Sima Shang to deal with.

Because he wanted to wait for the Yan Kingdom to deliver all the gold, grain, and population, at least three or four months, of course, there was no need for the plateau to stay here all the time. And now that the Wu'an army has occupied Juyongsai, it can be said that it has choked the throat of Yan State, and Sima Shang can sit here until Yan State has completely delivered everything. In addition, the first batch of grain and gold compensated by the Yan State, plus the materials captured in the previous two wars, are already very rich, and a batch of them also needs to be transported back first.

Therefore, Gao Yuan also gathered Sima Shang, Huang Chong, Du Yi and others to discuss, and everyone also believed that it was indeed possible to withdraw the troops gradually, and there was no need for Gao Yuan to stay in this way and waste time. So Gao Yuan also made arrangements, he led the Wu'an Army to return to Dai County, and Huang Chong also led a part of the men and horses to retreat to Shanggu County to garrison, after the withdrawal of these two people, there were about 40,000 troops left in Juyongsai, and its Mo Juyong was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and 40,000 troops were more than enough to garrison Juyongsai, but it was necessary to maintain the necessary pressure on Yan State. In addition, Gao Yuan also left Ling Feng to lead a hundred soldiers of the special combat team to help Sima Shang find out the news. And Yun Yao, Jiang Huanwu and others all returned to Daijun with the plateau.

And along with the plateau, there were all 6,000 eridium gold, 300,000 stone grain, and a large amount of armor and weapons. Fortunately, in this battle, a large number of chariots, vehicles, horses, cattle, sheep and livestock were also captured, so there were enough means of transport, but despite this, there were more than 2,000 carts and more than 6,000 horses, cattle and livestock to carry on their backs.

It took more than ten days just to prepare for loading and packing, and at this time, Yan Guo also sent the first batch of soldiers' families, about 150,000 people. It turns out that this group of family members are the people near Jijing, it is better to concentrate, Guan Jian is this group of people own about 1.2 million acres of land, which is a lot of property, Yan Wangxi is anxious to occupy these fields for public use, so he is also anxious to drive away these people, and collect the land for his own.

In this way, about 30,000 captives can be reunited with their families, so Gao Yuan also decided to wait for three more days to organize this group of people from Yan Kingdom and bring them back to Daijun together.

Gao Yuan scattered the Yan soldiers, organized them together with their families, and then issued a tent to each family and let them go on the road together, so that the family was together, and the Yan soldiers could take care of their families on the road and set off on the road with peace of mind. And it can also show the plateau's trust in this Yan soldier. In fact, Gao Yuan is not worried that these Yan soldiers will run away halfway, because although Gao Yuan scattered the Yan soldiers, the food is managed by the Wu'an Army, and there are special people to cook and distribute them every day, and all the Yan soldiers are brought with their families, some old and some young, how do you tell them to run.

After organizing all the personnel, Gao Yuan gave the order to set off on the road and return to Daijun.

Because with a population of more than 100,000 people, more than half of them are old, weak, women and children, so they walk very slowly every day, sometimes they can't even walk 30 miles a day, but fortunately, there is nothing else to do now, and they also carry enough food, so they can walk slowly.

As a result, after walking for fifteen or sixteen days in a row, the group arrived at Dai County, and Li Yinghong had already received a notice that he knew that this time the plateau had brought back more than 100,000 people from the Yan Kingdom. Therefore, they were also ready to welcome it, and they demarcated a place for the people of Yan to live, and also prepared a large number of residences and fields, so that these people could move in immediately and start farming.

It turned out that nearly a month had passed since the rebellion was put down, because the rebellion had not been in order for a long time, so it had no impact on the order of Daijun, and a few days later, everything in Daijun City was restored to normal.

However, although the rebel army was completely annihilated, and 37 Haoqiang were either killed or captured, the matter was not over, because all the Haoqiang still had a lot of family members, relatives and friends, domestic slaves, etc., so the day after the rebellion ended, Li Yinghong sent 15,000 troops, divided into eight groups, to arrest Haoqiang's family members, relatives and friends, and confiscate Haoqiang's land and property.

The clean-up operation itself did not encounter any obstacles, after all, now Haoqiang has no resistance to anything, but the trouble appeared within the Daijun regime, the original Daijun implemented a new decree, requiring Haoqiang to dismantle and divide households, more than half of Haoqiang have completed the separation of households, and the property and land have been divided, and a small number of Haoqiang have not completed the separation of households, because the plateau has left a certain buffer time for Haoqiang.

Of course, Haoqiang, who did not complete the splitting of his household registration, was arrested by his whole family, and his property and land were confiscated, but the trouble lies in those Haoqiang who have completed the splitting of their household registration, because a considerable number of the people who have been separated from the household registration have not participated in or directly participated in the rebellion for various reasons, so whether they should be arrested has become a big problem.

From a legal point of view, after the separation of the household registration, the person after the independent household registration and the original Haoqiang are not considered a family, there is no connection, and there is no joint sitting law in the new decree of the plateau, so as long as the person who did not participate in the rebellion, he should not be arrested. But in terms of blood, they are absolutely related, and many people are still very close, brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, etc., from the traditional Chinese customs, this is considered a family. Moreover, in this era, the concept of the country and the nation is still very weak, and the most important thing is blood and clan relations. Therefore, in fact, these powerful relatives are indeed potential enemies.

Shen Shen adheres to the former proposition, because Shen Shen is a scholar of Legalism, and there are two most important purposes of Legalism: one is to change with the situation and not stick to the law of the previous kings; The second is to govern the country according to law, to act according to law, and not to change by habit or personal will. Therefore, although Shen Shen is not unaware, these powerful relatives may be potential enemies, but if they can't be followed, they can't be arrested at will.

And some people think that keeping this group of people will be a problem sooner or later, and whether he can do it or not, he will talk about arresting it. However, Shen Shen is currently one of the highest administrative officials in Daijun, and his opinion certainly carries considerable weight. The other two main administrative officials, Ning Qi and Geng Zhong, although they did not express their position, actually held the latter attitude. It's just that the two of them are serious, and they don't express themselves lightly.

Of course, the final decision-maker is still Li Yinghong, after careful consideration, although Gao Yuan did not clearly express his preference for that theory, but with Li Yinghong's understanding of Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan is more inclined to the Legalist theory. Therefore, Li Yinghong finally decided to adopt Shen Shen's opinion, and as long as it was found that those who did not participate in the rebellion, they would not be prosecuted.

In addition, Li Yinghong also figured out that the vast majority of this group of people after the independent household registration from Haoqiang's family did not get much wealth, at most they could only be regarded as a well-off family, there were not even a few small Haoqiang, and even the big Haoqiang were beaten down, and what big Lang could these people afford.

Of course, Shen Shen raised his hands to support Li Yinghong's decision, and Ning Qi and Geng Zhong did not oppose it, so when arresting Haoqiang's family members, they finally let these people go, so that they did not suffer unjustified disasters.

However, after all, this group of people was only a minority, and after Haoqiang's family and comrades were arrested, a total of more than 25,000 people were arrested, and of course, a large amount of property, gold, grain, and land products were also confiscated.

However, now that the county has a total population of more than 900,000, nearly 3 percent of the population has been arrested at once, and if it were not for Shen Shen's opinion, I am afraid that even more people would have been arrested. But how to send these people, Li Yinghong was also a little at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it. And with such a heavy matter, Ning Qi, Geng Zhong, and Shen Shen did not dare to make a rash decision.

In addition, the seizure of Haoqiang's family property, a total of more than 1.2 million acres of confiscated land, although one of the injuries was rented by Haoqiang to other farmers for farming, but most of them were Haoqiang with his own domestic slaves to cultivate, but most of the Haoqiang domestic slaves participated in the rebellion, even the domestic slaves who did not participate in the rebellion are considered Haoqiang's family members were arrested, almost 8.9 million acres of land are uncultivated, so it looks like it is about to be deserted.

At this time, the plateau returned victoriously, and brought back more than 100,000 people from the Yan Kingdom, of which the young and middle-aged labor force accounted for nearly half, which was just enough to fill this gap, and even the houses were ready-made, as long as the people came back, they could move in. Therefore, Li Yinghong ordered people to prepare enough farm furniture, but as soon as the plateau returned, he immediately distributed the Yan people to continue cultivating the fields to ensure this year's harvest.
