Half a month later, in the camp of the summer army in Chenzhou.
Yang Shousu came to Li Liangzuo's Chinese army tent and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty has sent an envoy to negotiate peace with our court. ” "Negotiate peace, it seems that Zhao Xu can't hold on."
Li Liangzuo sneered: "Where is this, I just made a few small moves, and Da Song can't do it, it's too boring."
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we can negotiate peace or negotiate peace as soon as possible, it will not be good for us if the time drags on for a long time, and it will be spring soon, and now the withdrawal of troops can catch up with the spring ploughing of the previous season."
"Well, it makes sense, hurry up and arrange the matter of peace, this person's daily consumption of eating horses and chewing is huge, and it is better to end it early."
"His Majesty's Peace Envoy and Place" "You will serve as the special envoy for the peace of mind, let De'er go with you, and go to Jiangning Mansion, and you can also see the defense of the Song army in Huainan on the way."
"Then Your Majesty, what is our bottom line, and are there any special conditions?"
Li Liangzuo said casually: "You can just do it yourself, I have appointed you as the plenipotentiary and ambassador this time, you represent me, and what you say is what I say." ” Yang Shousu said very excitedly: "Weichen understands that His Majesty trusts Weichen so much, and Weichen will definitely do his best." ” "Go and prepare," Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand.
"Wechen retired."
Then Yang Shousu knelt on the ground and saluted Li Liangzuo and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ” After Yang Shousu left, Xiao Zhuozi came in and reported to Li Liangzuoyu: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou is here. ” "Zhou Shengcai, why did he come here when he didn't come here with an inventory of his baggage in Hebei, let him come in."
"Your Majesty has a decree to announce Zhou Shengcai's visit."
Little Zhuozi shouted loudly.
"Wechen see Your Majesty."
Zhou Shengcai was overjoyed and saluted Li Liangzuo.
"What's the matter, I'm annoying?"
"Your Majesty, the baggage looted by His Royal Highness King Yan has all been cleared, and this is the account."
Zhou Shengcai put a stack of ledgers in front of Li Liangzuo and said.
Li Liangzuo looked at the stack of accounts that were all big, "You pick up the key points and say, so many things you let me see next year."
"It's Weichen who is abrupt."
Zhou Shengcai scratched his head and said: "These burdens have a total of more than 57,690,000 stones of grain and grass, 20,000 silver coins worth of gold, silver and jewelry, and more than 30,000 taels of silk, cloth, medicinal materials, ships, etc., as well as more than 300,000 women, all of whom are fourteen to forty years old."
After listening to the report, Li Liangzuo said: "All these grains and grass are filled into the treasury and stored along the canal, as for the more than 300,000 women, part of them will be rewarded to the soldiers who crossed the sea this time, and the rest will be rewarded to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in the Central Plains War; In addition, we must do a good job in the work of compensating the fallen soldiers. ” "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will not fail in his mission."
Zhou Shengcai said to Li Liangzuo.
"Xiao Zhuozi passed on my oracle and ordered the kings and generals to come to Chenzhou to discuss matters."
Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi.
"Yes, the minion commands" Three days later, in Chenzhou, Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, Li Wu, the king of Qin, Li Bingchang, the king of Jin, Li Hao, the king of Hengshan, Li Ke, the king of Qi, and the generals of various departments, Zhu Xu, Feng Frame, An Qinggui, Qin Hu, Li Yue, Xili Qianbu and others all arrived, and all half of the senior generals of the Xia army gathered here.
"Your Majesty has arrived," shouted Xiao Zhuozi.
"The ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live" "All the Aiqing are all flat," Li Liangzuo said to the ministers; "Although I am not in Beijing today, but my important ministers of the Great Xia Empire are here, is it so complete, I have something to announce when I came to you today."
"Your Majesty, please."
The crowd said.
"Now that the Central Plains War has ended, I have decided to adjust the changes of some legions and the number of each legion, and I have decided to abolish the Yongzhou Legion and the Bingzhou Legion, and in the future, the jurisdiction of the Yongzhou Legion will be under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Forest Army, and the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Legion will be under the jurisdiction of the government soldiers; In addition, the strength of the Jizhou Legion was reduced to 100,000 people, and a Xuzhou Legion was added on the basis of the existing Jizhou Legion, Yizhou Legion, and Yuzhou Legion, with 100,000 people in each legion, and all the surplus soldiers and horses were transferred to Tuntian guards and government soldiers stationed in various places; The jurisdiction of the four major legions is, the jurisdiction of the Jizhou Army and the Yizhou Army remains unchanged, the Yuzhou Army guards the newly established Henan Province, and the troops of the Xuzhou Army guard the newly established Huaibei Province; The generals of the Yizhou Legion, the Jizhou Legion, and the Yuzhou Legion remained unchanged, and the Xuzhou Legion was commanded by Li Ke, the king of Qi; In order to strengthen the Empire's rule over the three newly established provinces of Hebei, Henan, and Huaibei, including the Xia Army's occupation area in the western part of present-day Shandong, and in order to coordinate the operations of the four major armies, I decided to set up the Central Plains Patrol to unify the administrative, financial, and military affairs of the three newly established provinces, and strive to restore the vitality of the Central Plains region as soon as possible.
The Patrol Embassy was set up in Kaifeng Mansion, and its three ministries of administration, military administration, and finance assisted the patrol envoy in managing the Central Plains."
Li Liangzuo said the duties of the Central Plains Patrol Envoy, as if he had thrown an atomic bomb in everyone's minds, because the power of the Central Plains Patrol Envoy was too great, and he was in charge of the military finances of Hebei, Henan, and Huaibei provinces, which was equivalent to saying that the three major armies of Henan, Hebei, and Xu were all placed under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Patrol Envoy, and the land of these three provinces would still be the tax-paying places of the Great Xia Empire in the future, and their status in the Great Xia Empire was transcendent, and mastering these three provinces was equivalent to mastering half of the Great Xia Empire.
As far as the position of the Central Plains Patrol Envoy is concerned, there are very few people qualified to serve in the Great Xia Empire, and there are only three people, the first is Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, the second is Li Wu, the king of Qin, and the third is Li Bingchang, the king of Jin; As for the Yan King Li Qing is still in the prison, it is simply impossible, although Li Qing is in the prison, but there is no actual loss, the Jizhou army is still commanded by the Yan King Li Qing; Moreover, the important ministers present also saw that Li Liangzuo's establishment of the Central Plains Patrol Envoy was likely to pave the way for the future prince, and this one could completely eliminate Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu.
Li Liangzuo got up from the handsome chair and walked to the ministers and said: "I don't mean that you can also see that this Central Plains patrol envoy has a lot of power, and is in charge of the 300,000 elites of the three major legions and all the government soldiers and tuntian soldiers of the three provinces; But it also has a great responsibility, and it is also the commander-in-chief of the future destruction of the Song Dynasty, and all the grain output and taxes of the three major provinces are prepared for the future destruction of the Song Dynasty, except for part of the supply to the imperial court; I have decided to hold such an important position."
At this time, Li Liangzuo happened to walk to the side of Li Bingchang, the king of Jin, and Li Wu, the king of Qin, Li Liangzuo raised his hand, and everyone's eyes looked at Li Liangzuo, and then Li Liangzuo's hand patted the shoulder of Li Wu, the king of Qin, and said: "This position is held by Li Wu, the king of Qin, the second prince of me." ” Li Wu knelt in front of Li Liangzuo very excitedly and said: "My son and my son thank my father, long live." ” "I give you this power, and you don't want me to be disappointed."
After Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he sat back on the dragon chair and continued: "Wu'er, in addition to this position as the patrol envoy of the three provinces, I am handing over the Praetorian Guard Legion to your commander, allowing you to expand the Praetorian Guard Legion to 100,000 people. ” Votes with Votes:
