Chapter 402 Champion
At this time, Fairy Meiyan came over, looked at Shen Changgong with her charming eyes, and asked,
"How do you plan to deal with the affairs of Qianguo?"
Shen Changgong thought for a moment and said,
"Logically, I should pretend I don't know. After all, I'm too far away to reach them. Even if I want them to pay the price, it's difficult. I can't go to war with the Qian Kingdom now.
But I have always been a petty person, holding grudges very often, and I never let grudges go unpunished.
If anyone provokes me, I will retaliate in a more severe way.
Otherwise, I can’t sleep well.”
Shen Changgong had a cruel sneer on his face, which made Gongsun Wan'er shudder all over.
She had offended Shen Changgong before, and was tortured for a long time. She was spanked and forced to crawl, and was tortured badly.
But she was much luckier than Prince Gong, Prince Rong and the like, as their entire families, young and old, went to the underworld for a trip.
Shen Changgong touched his chin and said,
"How should we retaliate against them? This time, they directly or indirectly killed two or three hundred thousand people.
Although natural disasters and corrupt officials were also factors, so many people would not have died if they had not added fuel to the fire.
Let’s put it this way, let’s give them a taste of their own medicine.
Have people bring gold and silver to their countries, and look for resistance forces to support. As for those southwestern chieftains and southern barbarians, or bandits and robbers, as long as they are willing to kill people, they can all be bribed, or they can be instigated to create discord and opposition.
In addition, send some assassins with two or three divine thunders, and when they are not paying attention, blow up a prince or prime minister or something to death, so that they will feel the pain.
Forget about the emperor. There has never been an emperor who was successfully assassinated since ancient times."
"Okay, let Skynet do this."
Gongsun Wan'er nodded immediately.
Fairy Meiyan also said quickly,
"We at Jiutian Tower can also help investigate intelligence from various parts of the Qian Kingdom."
"Very good, worthy of being my king's women, none of them are mediocre, they are smart and capable."
Shen Changgong praised sincerely.
These women really become more and more useful the more I use them, and gradually they have become my helpers.
The battle in the county town lasted until dark at night, and only then were the Yellow Turban Army almost wiped out, with most of them killed.
The reason why I say "most" is because there are definitely those who took off their headscarves and hid in people's homes or in deserted courtyards.
They don't have time to search every house one by one. This cannot be rushed and can only be done slowly.
The Changning Army sent people to defend the city walls and protect the government office, and asked the civilian laborers to come and clean the city and move the bodies.
Shen Changgong also sent a pigeon letter to the empress that night, saying that the Yellow Croaker Rebellion had been quelled and that he was providing relief to the victims and investigating the remnants of the Yellow Croaker Religion. It might take some time before he could return to Shengjing.
And asked her to send the county magistrate and the government team as soon as possible to take over the government affairs of Shuozhou County.
Because he had killed all the old team members.
Now Shen Changgong has to do his civil service work again to maintain the stability of Shuozhou County. Otherwise, once he leaves, the place will be in chaos.
The next morning, Shen Changgong summoned all the generals commanding the army to the government office.
Looking at the generals in the hall, Shen Changgong said,
"You have made great contributions this time. I won't say any nice words, I only want to give you practical advice.
After we return this time, those who deserve promotions will receive promotions, and those who deserve rewards will receive rewards. Which one do you want? Ask your brothers. Those above the rank of general will receive them, no need to ask.
Everyone burst into laughter and was in high spirits.
We fought for so long, wasn't it just for this day?
Shen Changgong sat on the chair and said to everyone,
“This time, the commander-in-chief of both armies, Yuhua Tianzhanghan, was promoted from the fourth-class marquis to the third-class marquis.
Zhang Han’s Marquis name will remain unchanged for the time being, he can be upgraded directly, and Yu Huatian’s Marquis name will be changed.
This king has promised you that he will make you the Marquis of Champion."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately clapped their hands and congratulated Yu Huatian.
Yu Huatian smiled a little embarrassedly, but still clasped his hands and said,
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the title."
Marquis of Guanjun is a top-level title that is on par with Marquis of Wu'an. It is a symbol of military merit and force, and a high honor. Who wouldn't want it?
There are only four marquises in Dayan, not counting those of royal blood.
They were the two commanders of the Southern King, Zhang Han, commander of the Zhennan Army and Marquis of Bingjun, and Li Bohan, commander of the Pingnan Army and Marquis of Ding'an.
Both of them were commanders in the battle against Kun and made many contributions.
Similarly, the other two were commanders before the attack on Kun, namely Guan Shouchang and Yu Huatian.
Guan Shouchang was the Marquis of Shou Ting. Marquis Ting was not a very high title, but in order to pay tribute to Guan Erye, Shen Changgong gave Guan Shouchang the same title.
Yu Huatian's title of marquis is the same as when he was in Kun Kingdom, that is, Marquis of Yongjun, but now, Shen Changgong gave him the title of Marquis of Guanjun, giving him the greatest honor.
Yu Huatian's Tianyu Army is also experienced in battle, and it is the only legion with an army of 150,000. Coupled with such a good title of Marquis, it can be seen that Shen Changgong favors and values Yu Huatian.
If nothing unexpected happens, Yuhuatian will be the most popular figure in the Dayan army in the future.
After deciding on the title of Marquis, Shen Changgong continued,
"Regarding your two noble promotions, I have already reported this to His Majesty at an expedited rate of eight hundred miles, so you don't need to worry.
Today, you, the Zhennan Army and the Tianyu Army, should return to the capital and go back to Shengjing for rest and recuperation.
The Zhennan Army has received an additional 60,000 horses this time. Fifty thousand men will be allocated to you from the new barracks in Shengjing, expanding the Zhennan Army to a regular corps of 100,000 men. In addition, all the required armor and weapons will be allocated from the military headquarters.
During this time, you should train well in Shengjing and try to familiarize the new recruits with cavalry tactics. As for the appointment and promotion of officers, Zhang Han, please write a memorial to the King of the South and let him make the arrangements."
Zhang Han's face flushed with excitement, and he clasped his hands together and said,
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Changgong looked at Yu Huatian and said,
"After returning, take good care of yourself and replenish the lost troops. I will be staying in Shuozhou County for a while. The Changning Army will stay with me to provide disaster relief, suppress evildoers, and wipe out the remaining evildoers.
When I return, it will be almost time for us to send troops to Qi. Be prepared."
"As ordered!"
Shen Changgong explained some other matters and then let everyone go.
On that day, Yu Huatian and Zhang Han led their army away together.
Zhang Han was an impatient man and was anxious to go back to receive new recruits for training. Seeing that the war was imminent, one more day of training would mean more combat effectiveness.
He simply left Yu Huatian behind and took the Zhennan Army with him, each riding two or three horses, and rushed back to Shengjing City, leaving Yu Huatian to walk slowly behind.
All the rebels who were captured alive were beheaded.
The imperial teacher, the fake emperor, and the county magistrate were all executed by slow slicing.
