In front of each square formation, Huang Qiong would shout that the Qi army was mighty and the soldiers were working hard. Huang Qiong's answer was the long live shouts of every phalanx. Although these things have not been practiced in advance, Huang Qiong is so skillful in doing them. It was as if he himself was an emperor who despised the world. When Huang Qiong walked through the last square formation, the originally hazy sky suddenly dispersed.
A ray of sunlight was shining on Huang Qiong. For a moment, Huang Qiong seemed to be wrapped in golden light, exuding the aura of an emperor. Both the ordinary soldiers and the senior officials present were stunned by the scene before them. Immediately, tens of thousands of soldiers present shouted long live again. The high-ranking civil and military officials over there could not help but dismount from their horses and kneel on the ground.
Not only the tens of thousands of soldiers in the field were shocked, but also the party members and Han people who were escorted from the surrounding areas or who came to watch on their own, also fell to their knees involuntarily. Some older people even kowtowed with their hands together. Huang Qiong, who was blinded by the sudden sunlight, had no idea what was going on in these people's minds.
This sunshine has been shining on Huang Qiong, tightly wrapping Huang Qiong and his horse. Until all the dark clouds in the sky completely dispersed, the originally gloomy world suddenly became extremely clear, and the sunshine gradually dispersed and began to shine on the entire earth. It's just that although the sunshine has dispersed, the previous scene will remain in the minds of everyone present forever.
Huang Qiong, who only opened his eyes at this moment, saw the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground. He hurriedly came to the place where the civil and military officials were standing, got off his horse, and helped all the civil and military officials who were kneeling on the ground in front of him to get up. The left hand raised high again stopped the soldiers from continuing to chant. He raised his head and glanced at the approximate time, then nodded to Du She beside him.
As Du She shouted to bring him up, the south gate of Lingzhou was opened again. A group of party clan leaders and leaders were escorted over. The two at the front are Tuoba Jichong, Tuoba Jiqian's younger brother, and Tuoba Dezhao, Tuoba Jiqian's only remaining son. Behind them are the sons of Tuoba Jichong and Tuoba Jiyai, as well as the leaders and Tibetan officials of the Tuoba tribe, as well as all the officers of the Pingxia tribe with more than 100 households.
Then there is Noribu. Among the five sons of the Nori clan leader, only one is left. There are also the clan leaders and officials of the Yeli tribe. Behind them are the patriarchs and leaders of other party tribes. It can be said that except for those who died in battle, all the leaders and clan leaders of Ningxia Dangxiang are here. It can be said that no one has slipped through the net. This also includes the sons of these leaders and clan leaders who are over fourteen years old.
These people were tightly tied with ropes and were led to the monument of heroes with pale faces. Under the intimidation of the knife and axemen around him, he fell to his knees involuntarily. Although Tuoba Jichong and Tuoba Dezhao were still somewhat arrogant. Not only did he not kneel down, he even tried to struggle. But under the forcible suppression of the swordsmen around them, their final struggle could only be in vain.
As three trumpets sounded, heads began to roll down in front of the Heroic Spirit Monument. The heads of these people were piled up into a Beijing temple larger than Huanzhou, standing in front of the monument to the fallen soldiers of Ningxia's counter-rebellion. These people followed Tuoba to move to rebel, but not only failed, they got what they wanted. Not only would they be killed, but their families would also be rewarded to the soldiers.
But today, Huang Qiong was not the only one who wanted to behead the clan leaders and leaders of the Dangxiang tribes. There are also more than ten powerful Han people in Ningxia Prefecture who followed Tuoba and rebelled. After buying officials from Li Jiedu, they exploited the Tibetan tribes and even made large sums of money by drinking the blood of soldiers. Wealthy officials. Especially the Xining Prefecture's Tibetan military envoy, his head fell to the ground at this time.
Kill those who deserve to be killed, and reward those who deserve to be rewarded. As He Yuanfeng read out Huang Qiong's handwriting. The soldiers who countered the rebellion not only received a full reward equivalent to two months' salary for the first time after going to war, but they also unexpectedly got a daughter-in-law, and they once again shouted long live. Military discipline in the Xijing camp is strict. Even on the battlefield, these soldiers would not dare to burn, kill, and loot.
On weekdays, not only is military discipline not allowed to visit brothels, but so is the savings in your pocket. But it is not easy for them to get a wife. Although their military pay is paid on time, facing the rare items in Xijing, their salary is still somewhat difficult. Ordinary people don't really like to marry their daughters to big-headed soldiers like them.
Those border army officers and soldiers are usually stationed on the border in the bitter cold land. Most of the garrisoned areas are sparsely populated. On weekdays, not to mention women of considerable age, even old ladies may not be seen. As for the Longyou local guard, the original military pay was not as good as that of the frontier army and the Xijing camp. In the past few years, I have met Li Jiedu, who only cares about drinking the blood of his soldiers. He has no food and clothing, let alone a wife.
However, they did not expect that not only would they receive full rewards for suppressing the rebellion, but the court would also give them a daughter-in-law. For these soldiers, such a huge good thing is nothing more than pie in the sky. With kids? What are you afraid of? Isn't it bad that I got a son and a daughter for nothing? Besides, those party women are all good at giving birth, and the eldest lady in Xijing City is much stronger.
Isn't it okay to be alive then? Older? Over thirty? It's okay, older people are more painful. If I didn't get a wife, I would have died in battle like those brothers who died in battle that day without even smelling a woman's scent. That would be called a grievance. What's more, I have lived for decades without even passing down the incense. I am sorry to my parents, right?
After He Yuanfeng announced the King of England's decree, the ordinary soldiers looked at Huang Qiong with even more enthusiasm. On the scene, the cry of landslide and tsunami once again sounded. Looking at the excited soldiers and the numb-looking Pingxia and Yeli tribesmen, Huang Qiong was nothing. He just told a few military attachés to use military merit as the basis, and those with military merit have the right to choose their favorites first.
After listening to Huang Qiong's instructions, He Yuanfeng and Du She could only smile bitterly at each other. What troubled He Yuanfeng even more was how to bring back so many women. At present, the remnants of the rebels have been wiped out. Nearly half of the troops in the Xijing camp cannot stay in Ningxia Mansion for too long. It is estimated that the edict from the teacher will be issued in the next two days. Taking so many women back along the way is not an easy matter.
Huang Qiong ignored what the two men were thinking, got on his horse and returned to his home. In the study room of Xingyuan, Huang Qiong changed out of the obstructive prince's formal attire and back into the scholar's attire. Looking at the envoy from Longyou who had been recruited by him and Zhang Qian, the prefect of Ningxia, he raised his head and said, "I, the king, have decided to donate and build several Buddhist temples in several Dangxiang settlements in Ningxia Prefecture."
"Zhifu Zhang, please handle this matter in detail. Envoy Lu, please find a way to find some eminent monks in the temple in Longyou to come to Ningxia to preach Buddhism. As for people, it's better to have some faith. Yes. Once you have faith, you won't always have random thoughts. Buddha is compassionate and willing to save all living things in this world. If Buddha enlightens these party members, it must be good for their education."
Regarding Huang Qiong's idea, Ambassador Lu Yasuo and Zhang Qian looked at each other and instantly understood what the British king meant. Kill those patriarchs and leaders who have prestige among the Dangxiang people, and then use Buddhism to soften them, so that they can forget about killing and throw themselves into the embrace of Buddha. In a few years, these party members who are dedicated to Buddha will forget everything today.
They would even think that the injustice they encountered from the court was a disaster they should encounter. With this kind of thinking, will they still have the intention to use swords and guns in the future? This British king is really good at killing people and killing people. Just when the two people were thinking about the King of England's move, it was indeed a wise move. Huang Qiong added: "In Tubo, I heard that the emerging Bai sect is very prosperous."
"You send people to instruct the Tubo tribes to select great eminent monks or Baijiao leaders and send them to the capital to be conferred by the imperial court. At the same time, don't they pay attention to reincarnation? From now on, all reincarnated eminent monks will be sent by the imperial court. Operators will conduct a gold urn test on the reincarnated soul boy. Seal the selected soul boy and preside over his enthronement ceremony. Those who have not been conferred by the imperial court shall not be recognized."
"At the same time, we should encourage the Tubo tribes to build temples. If each tribe builds one more temple, the court will give a certain reward. Longyou's pacification envoy and chief envoy should provide certain financial support. In this way, you send people Tell them that every time each tribe builds a temple, the court will reward them with five ingots of silver, two hundred strings of money, one hundred pieces of silk and silk, and ten yaks to help them promote Buddhism."
In response to Huang Qiong's instructions, the Lu comforter nodded slightly. He also said that he would start the process immediately after returning to Lintao. Seeing that the road appeasement envoy was very happy to go on his way, Huang Qiong did not embarrass him. He just said calmly: "That Li Jiedu is running rampant and lawless in Longyou. As a pacifier, you failed to play a restrictive role. But there was a severe drought in Longyou last year, and you did your best to raise food to help the victims."
"Although merits and demerits cannot be balanced, I am not an unkind person. Merits are merits and faults are faults. Regarding your condonement of Li Jiedu's corruption and perversion of the law, I will fine you one year's salary and reduce your punishment to one level for meritorious service. For your meritorious service in rescuing the victims, I will reward you with two hundred taels of silver, three thousand guan of coins, and one thousand pieces each of silk, silk, and silk. In addition, you can choose a few concubines from the confiscated wild leaders."
After hearing Huang Qiong's decision, the Lu comfort envoy quickly knelt down and thanked him and said: "I am the head of the civil servants of Longyou. It is my duty to raise food for disaster relief in the year of great disaster. I dare not take credit for it." I have done my duty, and I am worthy of being rewarded by the King of England. In recent years, because I have cared about Privy Hong who was behind Li Jiedu, I have sent letters to persuade him, but I have not been able to stop Li Jiedu from doing evil in time. "
"As a pacifier, I have the duty of supervising all Longyou officials, both civil and military. This Li Jiedu did such a corrupt thing and I failed to stop him. He indeed has an unshirkable responsibility. The King of England punished me , I am sincerely convinced and have absolutely no complaints. As for the reward from the King of England, it is a matter within my duty, and I absolutely dare not accept it. I also ask the King of England to take back this offer."
Looking at the Longyou comfort envoy kneeling in front of him, Huang Qiong smiled faintly and said: "I have said that merit is merit and fault is fault. Although you are guilty, you cannot erase your merits. Last year, Longyou was the leader. Due to drought, in Longyou, which is already barren, the number of victims who have gone out to become refugees is half that of Shaanxi Road, and there have not been a large number of starvation deaths. You, as the pacifier, should be the first to contribute."
"I am not the kind of person who rewards and punishes unequally. I will punish those who deserve punishment, and I will never be stingy with those who deserve rewards. If I cannot do this, what face will I have, facing the world? Officials? However, Envoy Lu, I have both punished and rewarded you, but it is time for me to rectify the officials of the various departments that the Envoy of Longyou belongs to. You cannot bear all the blame alone. "
