Of course, that's what Huang Qiong thinks now. Huang Qiong himself has no say in whether other things will happen by then. After all, the thing in my body is too weird, and I often can't control myself. And these eldest daughters are at least not bad in appearance. They all stayed in the palace, and I'm afraid most of them still couldn't escape from his grasp. If those clan members weren't too bastard, Huang Qiong would have wanted to pick them up and send them away as well. But the question is, along the way?

I had always thought that in this country, all people believe in Buddhism and are extremely devout. Not to mention the clan, even the king has become a monk. In a country where all members of the clan, regardless of gender, practice martial arts, those clans, even if they are bastards, are better than those in Daqi. But looking at it now, although it is considered stronger, it is not much stronger. The same asshole. Even if you are a prisoner, you don't have the consciousness of being a prisoner. If they were really locked up together, there might be something wrong with them on this journey of thousands of miles.

And for Huang Qiong, the military discipline of his subordinates is now more or less problematic. A lot of things happened when they were escorting the Wang Zong from Guilin County Prince's Palace. Although the escorting soldiers also knew who could and could not be moved. Anyone who touches it will get a slap on the face at most, and anyone who touches it will lose their head. Most of those who were ruined were the accompanying servants with sons and daughters, as well as maids and mothers-in-law. But there were also two clan wives who were defiled by the escorting soldiers.

There was also a clan wife who was abducted by a soldier who was escorting her. Although the escorting officer could be considered decisive in execution, he directly took the heads of the perpetrators. But the impact will be irreparable for a long time. At least the royal family whose wife was abducted, after arriving in the capital knowing clearly that he would not die, ended up in the detention center for a long time. In the end, King Yong, who couldn't bear it anymore, sent someone to pin him down on the ground and give him a slap on the face, and then he calmed down a little.

But this matter has had a very bad impact among the people. Especially the soldier who abducted the clan's wife and ran away was never recaptured, which was even more embarrassing. Huang Qiong also knew that he was facing a group of women who were as beautiful as flowers and jade. For those soldiers who have been fighting abroad for many years and have crawled out of the dead, and even many military officers, the temptation is not ordinary. But military discipline is military discipline after all, and this cannot be said. If the soldiers were like this, they would act recklessly towards the people they were escorting.

Isn’t this world in chaos? Even if the war is over, this kind of thing cannot be avoided in all dynasties. But Huang Qiong still didn't want his army to become an army like beasts. Even if you can't starve to death without tearing down the house or freeze to death without robbing, you still have to follow the rules and prohibitions. It is a field army if you cannot go to the battlefield, and you are a field army if you go off the battlefield and treat the people along the way. Rape and plunder are everywhere, so as the current emperor, wouldn’t he become a cannibal?

In particular, most of the sergeants under Zhao Wuye were the original local guards, except for some of the reinforcements that Cao Rui had transferred to him. Although in Zhao Wushu's hands, he has finally managed to put things in order, and his combat power has been tempered. But Zhao Wushu himself couldn't describe military discipline in detail. Zhao Wushu had mentioned to Huang Qiong more than once that in order to maintain military discipline, he had killed so many people since he entered Guangnan West Road that he couldn't stop himself, but it was still difficult to completely solve it.

But since entering Dali Kingdom, things have been pretty good at first. But after the tug-of-war entered, the long battle, frequent tug-of-war, the lack of capture of Shicheng County, and the relatively scarce supplies seriously wore down the patience of many sergeants. It also caused the barely maintained military discipline to slip rapidly again and again. Although you wouldn't dare to do anything in the city, you can do almost anything evil in the countryside. In order to maintain the morale of the army, as long as they didn't go too far, Zhao Wushu could only turn a blind eye.

Not only Zhao Wushu’s place, but also Guo Chen’s place is similar. Guo Chen once mentioned in a memorial that after the army entered Yangjumei City, no one dared to touch the clan members and their wives. But no one cares about the common people. Including many officials and their families, they were all badly ruined. This is also the reason why Guo Chen immediately withdrew from Yangjumei City after completing the campaign against the Dali clan and important ministers. He was worried that if it continued like this, it might eventually develop into something beyond control.

It was precisely because of those lessons learned that Huang Qiong let it go for the time being. In any case, these wives and daughters of the Dali royal family are not only beautiful but also beautiful. And the status is also different, not comparable to that of the family members of the Guilin County Prince's Mansion. In addition, even if he doesn't look at the monk's face, he still has to look at the Buddha's face. If too many things happen, he will not be able to explain to Duan Jin. It is safer to take them with you when you are waiting for your return. This is safer.

With him around, those soldiers still dare not do too much evil, at least they will be somewhat restrained. It's not that Huang Qiong himself doesn't trust his subordinates, it's the fact that the elite soldiers from the four battalions have now become the guards under that De Xing and Zhao Wuye, which worries him even more. Anyway, I won't stay here for much longer, not even a few days. It's just that Huang Qiong thought more safely, but he didn't expect that Zhao Wushu had some misunderstandings.

But just when Zhao Wushu was having some random thoughts, he heard Huang Qiong say coldly: "Tell the escorts not to be harshly abused along the way. As long as they don't do it too harshly, they are not allowed to insult those people. If it happens again." What happened? Weigh and weigh whether the heads of their whole family are enough to be chopped off. Also, we need to be more vigilant in the past few days. Guo Chen's side is probably going to imprison people, so we need to be more careful about the counterattack of some forces that are not willing to fail. In addition, you must also protect yourself.”

"You have to be patient for now. When we get back to Guangnan West Road, I will organize your wedding. As soon as the people over there arrive, I will immediately start making arrangements. Check it out. According to the rules of Dali Kingdom, what should they do with this enthronement ceremony? ?The things that need to be prepared must be prepared as soon as possible. Also, the imperial edict to the aristocratic families in Dali must be delivered in the shortest possible time. When things are settled here, we will return immediately. I am coming out this time It’s been too long and it’s time to go back.”

After hearing Huang Qiong's instructions, Zhao Wushu nodded heavily. He signaled that he was ready. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Master, what should we do if those aristocratic families are not there? Should we mobilize troops to exterminate them, or should we leave them alone? Should we send a capable civil servant to appease them? This imperial edict has been issued. It's been three days, but none of these people have arrived yet. I suspect that they are all waiting and watching, or simply waiting for something, should we be tougher?"

Regarding Zhao Wushan's worries, Huang Qiong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry. If Guo Chen didn't defeat the Dong Yang family's coalition forces in the past few days, most of those people might have to wait and see for a while. But then After the First World War, they didn't have the confidence to wait and see. I estimate that these people will come one after another in the past few days. And now that their master has opened the city and surrendered, it will not be until tomorrow at most Everyone who needs to know will know.”

"With this premise, those aristocratic families, no matter how selfish they are, would not dare to clamor with Daqi at this time. However, you must also be prepared. Mobilize an army and horses to prepare secretly. Among those aristocratic families , what I am most worried about is the Yang family. Regardless of whether they come or not, I will kill them completely. Otherwise, how can I set an example for Dali? And all the people in Shanchanhou Mansion are taken away . I have been thinking about it for the past few days and I can no longer retain the title of Marquis Shanchan."

"As soon as the leader of the Lord and the great family arrives, the Gao family has decided to execute him immediately. Doesn't Gao Zhilian want to inherit this marquis? Let him be the first to go back north. He has done great service this time, I can't kill him Him. Killing him will be detrimental to your reputation. But this Shanchanhou must not be given to him. This kind of person has a traitor behind his back. When he waits in the capital, I will reward him with an empty title. When he goes on the road, you send someone to tell him , everything that should be given to him after arriving in Jingzhao will be given to him."

Huang Qiong's change of attitude made Zhao Wushu stunned for a moment. Huang Qiong originally negotiated with him to retain the title of Marquis Shanchan. From Gao Zhisheng's side branch, choose a person to inherit the title to check and balance the royal family. But it's only been a few days, why did the plan suddenly change? And the change has been so big. But before Zhao Wushu could figure it out, Huang Qiong suddenly said: "Add Gao Zhiping to the execution list of the Gao family. An unstable factor will cause instability everywhere."

When Huang Qiong said these words, his face looked slightly ugly. I was still making random guesses in my mind whether Concubine Duan Guifei had played any role in this Lord's transformation. After all, in the past few years, the political affairs of Dali Kingdom have gradually fallen into the hands of the Gao family. Duan Jin, who was born as the eldest princess of Dali, naturally did not want to see this situation. Considering the Lord's love for Concubine Duan, Concubine Duan's pillow style may have had some effect.

But Zhao Wushan didn't know that it wasn't Duan Jin who really made Huang Qiong change his attitude. Based on Duan Jin's character, she would not interfere in such matters. Because she has repeatedly intervened in the handling of Dali Kingdom, and has been actually influencing Huang Qiong's handling of Dali Kingdom, which actually involves interfering in politics. Duan Jin himself knew this. Therefore, Duan Jin, who knew where Huang Qiong's bottom line was, would not be arrogant again and again. What's more, although I have always hated Shanchanhoufu.

But looking at the overall situation of Dali Kingdom, Duan Jin actually hopes to retain Shanchanhou Mansion. What really made Huang Qiong make up his mind was Gao Mei last night. Huang Qiong has always wanted to divide and rule Dali, not only not to let Dali collapse, but also to prevent Dali from becoming monolithic again. Huang Qiong's determination was not just because of Duan Jin. It is more based on the interests of Daqi. Although there are not many things produced in Dali that are useful to Daqi.

There is no shortage of horses in Daqi, but those bad horses from Dali are of no use to Daqi. Although the armor is fine, Daqi's is not bad either. As for the rare birds and animals that are abundant in Dali, Huang Qiong has no vanity, and they are of no use to Huang Qiong. Except for those medicinal materials that are special to Dali, there are not many other medicinal materials from Dali that are useful to Daqi. But copper and tin, which are also abundant in Dali, are crucial to Daqi. Not only casting copper coins, but also casting cannons also requires a large amount of copper and tin.

After this counterinsurgency, Huang Qiong has been planning to significantly adjust the military system. It is planned to greatly increase the configuration of large and small artillery in the army. According to the different combat scope and nature, light artillery and heavy artillery are equipped respectively. Although I still have a lot of concerns about pulling horses. But Guo Chen mentioned before that the Liaodong horses captured by the rebels this time were much stronger in terms of load-bearing than the party horses and Khitan horses popular in the army. Last year, Yu Mingyuan captured a lot of Jurchen horses on the Yanshanfu front.
