With Liu Chengyou watching, the government actively acted to appease people's hearts, and Yongji City quickly got rid of the shadow of the war. With food in hand and the rich foundation left by Li Shouzhen in the house, all the aftermath work can be carried out smoothly.
After a simple cleanup, although the trauma was still there, the entire city took on a new look. The martial law was relaxed in an orderly manner. Following the emperor's edict, the residents in the city were preparing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival as usual, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Of course, the tens of thousands of horse and infantry troops still stationed outside the city, as well as the intrigue companies and camps that have not yet been dismantled, are always reminding Fang of the short but bloody war that happened not long ago. Inside and outside the old city, order was in order, and no monsters or monsters dared to jump out and cause chaos.
In the hall, Liu Chengyou was reading a booklet in his hand, and at the same time he was listening to Hu Yanke's talk about the situation of the army in the past few days. As for what Liu Chengyou was reading, it was Bai Wenke and Li Hongjian who gathered the meritorious personnel from each army.
Gently throwing the book on the table, it can be seen from the list that his uncle has not restrained his selfishness at all.
"Remember, the roster is sent to the Privy Council. After the division, the Privy Council will review the merits of the officers and soldiers, and then adjust the military positions!" Liu Chengyou said.
"Yes!" The man in charge responded.
"How is the morale of the military?" Liu Chengyou asked Hu Yanke after the report.
Hu Yanke immediately replied: "Your Majesty's rewards have been distributed to all the armies. The soldiers are happy and high-spirited, thinking of your Majesty's kindness in their hearts."
Liu Chengyou nodded, opened his mouth, glanced sideways, and then stopped. The rewards he handed down were basically distributed among the armies, and then the commanders of each army divided the rewards according to their merits. This time he sent some supervisory troops to supervise the matter, but even so, there were still many generals who were detained for personal gain, from top to bottom, there were a lot of them.
Liu Chengyou originally wanted to ask about this, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He already had a pretty good understanding of the situation. The soldiers' morale was stable and their morale was high, which meant that there were no big problems yet, or that the officers and soldiers at the bottom were already accustomed to this kind of atmosphere.
However, after this, many more names were added to Liu Chengyou's notebook. At the same time, I also made up my mind that this power of reward and refutation must be collected from above. In the future, rewards should be distributed not only to individuals, but also to the battalion and capital levels. Even if it is a little troublesome, it is still worth it.
"Yang Ye, where are you?" He raised his eyes and looked at Yang Ye.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ye immediately reported: "The 2,946 soldiers we have selected have been organized and divided into three armies and six battalions. Your Majesty can come to inspect at any time!"
"That's right." Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "Instruct the towns in various states to move the families of these soldiers to Tokyo. The imperial court must also do a good job in supporting and resettling them, and the prefectures and counties along the way are ordered to support them."
"yes!"
However, when the officers and soldiers from the Guanyou prefectures were repatriated back to the prefectures and towns, Liu Chengyou ordered Yang Ye to select strong and strong men among them to serve as the forbidden army. This was an attempt by the other town to "recruit its best soldiers" and it went very smoothly. This time when he comes to the west, Liu Chengyou will always want to lay something on Xi Mian Jiedu...
As for Yang Ye, it has been decided that he will step down from the Tong'an Army and follow Liu Chengyou back to Tokyo to command the troops. He made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion this time. After breaking the city, he killed Wang Jixun, the "first brave general in the river", without even giving him a chance to surrender. He will definitely be promoted again. Next in the Forbidden Army, Liu Chengyou will make a big move and needs someone reliable and available.
As for Tongguan, Wang Yu, the former prisoner and camp envoy of Shaanzhou, will succeed him. Of course, with Li Shouzhen being defeated, the garrison strength will also be reduced to one thousand.
"Your Majesty, the autumn harvest work in the counties under Hezhong Prefecture has already begun. According to the inspection, the generals in each county and town are working diligently..." After talking about military affairs, he turned to civil affairs, and Feng Dao reported in a timely manner.
This is the deterrent of the emperor. With the current situation, the officials under Hezhong Mansion will do their best to comply with the imperial edict.
"I still say what I said, without food and instability, the government's first priority is Nongsang. In this matter, the state government must do a good job of supervising and persuading!" Liu Chengyou ordered: "In addition, edicts are sent to Tokyo, and the central government issues orders to the world. Regarding the autumn harvest, all the prefectures and prefectures will work hard to do it!"
"yes!"
...
Just after noon, Liu Chengyou took a nap and summoned more than ten military envoys including Li Bai, King Zhao, and the senior generals accompanying the army for a military meeting. There is only one serious issue, how to deal with the soldiers who violated laws and disciplines during this war.
Among these sergeants, there are mainly two categories. The first type is the military academy where the Xiaodi Army was defeated in the previous attack, was timid and fearful of the enemy, and fled before the battle, leading to the defeat of the Xiaodi Army. It was led by Na He Hui and Fan Aineng, and there were more than ten middle and low-level officers who were still there. In custody.
The other part is those who violated orders and discipline after breaking the city. In the Forbidden Army, there is a mixture of good and bad, good and bad. In terms of military discipline, after continuous rectification, it is much better than at the beginning of the country. However, this battle still exposed the shortcomings that were deeply rooted in the bones.
Previously, taking advantage of the destruction of the city, many officers and soldiers, following the style of previous wars, burned, killed, looted, and harmed the people. There were hundreds of officers and soldiers, and they were arrested by Han Tong and Li Chongju as typical examples.
As for how to deal with these people, some generals led by Li Hongjian suggested that they should be given a lighter sentence and be demoted. After all, the battle was a great victory, the rebels had been eliminated, and there were no serious consequences. It would be easy to punish them too harshly. This made other soldiers feel chilly.
The other faction, headed by Hu Yanke, Wang Yan and others, advocated severe punishment, in order to suppress the military and political affairs, and to correct military law. In their view, the crimes committed by He and Fan were unpardonable crimes, and there was no room for leniency if the soldiers saw them and killed them. As for the officers and soldiers who breached the city and violated the law, they still boldly violated the law despite the emperor's clear orders. This was not only a violation of military discipline, but also a disregard for the emperor's majesty, and there was no reason for leniency.
There are also some people who remain silent and take a neutral attitude. The rest is even simpler, with the attitude of the emperor as the main one.
As for Liu Chengyou, although he summoned the generals and envoys to discuss the matter, it was just a show. No matter how lively the discussion was, it was useless. He had already made a plan in his mind. What made him somewhat relieved was that there were still many sensible people among the generals...
When others were arguing with each other, Liu Chengyou stood up and spoke: "Since ancient times, to build a strong army, one must practice military skills like a mountain. If military laws are not established, there will always be unruly warriors, millions of people. How can I safely use them? Why? People like Fan are a great danger to the army. The law cannot be abolished and must be dealt with with severe punishments. Order to kill them!"
"yes!"
It can be said that the final word is final. After Liu Chengyou spoke, Li Hongjian and others did not dare to make any excuses.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was high, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to collect over a hundred soldiers, including He Hui and Fan Aineng, and behead them at the camp gate. The grace of rain and dew in front of him was followed by the power of thunder. Liu Chengyou became more and more skillful in using this method of giving both grace and power.
While rectifying the imperial army, Liu Chengyou also issued an edict to screen the rebels in the river and all the generals and commanders to identify the good and bad, identify the loyal and traitors, and punish all the guilty.
Previously, Liu Chengyou had promised that he would only punish the head of the evil and stubborn ones and leave the rest alone. Therefore, Liu Chengyou was exempted from the crime of rebellion, but the question he asked this time was to investigate him for committing an offense.
In the final analysis, Liu Chengyou still settled accounts with the rebels, but he just changed his words. Ordinary soldiers at the grassroots level can be spared, but those generals and colonels with military positions must still serve as a warning to the world.
