Bianjing.


    After receiving the good news from the strange plan, the emperor was overjoyed and immediately convened the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.


    Listening to the congratulations of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor felt that the constraints were further relaxed. The emperor was in a good mood and ordered the whole army to be rewarded according to merit.


    At the same time, Cai Jing was instructed to immediately select officials to serve in Hedong and restore people''s livelihood as soon as possible.


    This made the officials standing in the court very happy: they could promote another wave of their own people, and it was not a dangerous place.


    Now the great Song Dynasty is not calm. Officials want to be promoted. It''s not easy to be sent to a place of war. It''s a joke about life. Naturally, no one wants to be promoted.


    Now Hedong is calm, and there is at least a few years of calm. Why not take the opportunity to arrange some of your own people and collect some benefits?


    Some people are happy, while others are depressed.


    This is true of Cai Jing and Tong Guan.


    Although Hedong Pingding can let Cai Jing have power here, a younger generation forced them to climb to the top of the officials of the great song dynasty. Even he dared not ignore it. How can Cai Jing be happy.


    He hoped that Hedong would be stable, but he did not hope that this stability was brought about by a strange trick.


    If Cai Jing has some advantages, Tong Guan is only depressed.


    The trick first robbed him of his persistent effort to recover Yan Yun, resulting in the end of his ambition to be king. Up to now, the emperor has no intention of being king.


    Now he has been able to smooth out the chaos in Hebei. In contrast, the Privy envoy who was beaten and fled by Wang Qing seems incompetent.


    A little man who could easily crush himself to death had a position comparable to his own, which made Tong Guan very unhappy. He even regretted that he should have killed the emperor.


    "Taifu, what do you think?" Tong Guan was thinking about how to suppress the trick when he suddenly heard the emperor''s question.


    "I think so." He didn''t hear what the emperor said, but since the emperor asked, he praised the achievement directly.


    "Since the Taifu agrees, it''s settled. Grand Master, quickly send someone to the old laborer to reward the meritorious generals. Then he ordered the Taibao to lead the army south to take over from the Taifu to levy Wang Qing''s thief. " Said the emperor.


    Now Tong Guan understands that the emperor wants Zhu Bao to denounce Wang Qing and ask him for his opinions. However, he didn''t hear it and agreed directly. Instead, he gave an assist.


    His words have been spoken, how can he eat them and become fat in front of the son of heaven? Only tearful default.


    "The Taifu has been recuperating for some time. Now the fangla strategy Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River is powerful and can''t be controlled by the local government. How about the Taifu leading the army to quell the chaos?" The emperor asked again.


    "The minister is willing to go, and it is determined that his majesty will destroy the bandits." Tong Guan should die.


    Having suffered a loss under Wang Qing''s hands, Tong Guan decided to learn a lesson, learn tricks, and take enough elite soldiers and strong generals to quell the chaos.


    So a paper order, just returned to the station, and soon the northwest army departments trekked thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River.


    ……


    Tongyi county.


    It has been more than half a month since Tian Hu was defeated, but the trick is not idle. We should not only restore people''s livelihood, dispose of all the officials under the surrendered Tian Hu, but also reorganize the army.


    On that day, many generals under Tian Hu took the initiative to surrender. Tian Hu was killed by Luan Tingyu in the charge. On the spot, the army ran down, either kneeling down or scattered. It took a lot of time just to catch the defeated soldiers.


    Tian Bao and Tian Biao were also killed by Song Jiang. None of the Tian clan escaped. They were caught by a strange trick. Together with the remains of the Tian brothers, they were escorted to Bianjing for disposal by the imperial court.


    The Hebei army camped outside the east gate, and the Pingding army and the liaozhou army were stationed outside the north gate. After taking in the army under Tian Hu, they camped outside the South Gate with Song Jiang.


    Tens of millions of troops are too bloated. These days, strange tricks have been eliminated to remove the seriously injured and the old and weak from the army, grant land and turn soldiers into the people.


    Anyway, before the imperial court formally issued the imperial edict, it was all the same as the East River system has the final say.


    After being eliminated, there are still as many as 8 million, and the number of troops directly under Qiji''s command alone has reached 3 million, quadrupling.


    So many troops are stationed outside the city. Naturally, they are waiting for the reward from the imperial court. Otherwise, they will not waste food and grass here.


    ……


    Finally, the imperial court''s reward arrived, and the emperor sent Taiwei Su Yuanjing to announce an order to appease the army in person.


    Most of the meritorious people who reported their tricks were rewarded, promoted to rank, and many of the recommendations to local officials were approved.


    With Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and other political enemies, we are satisfied with the result.


    Song Jiang has also added a level-1 scattered official as a worshipping doctor and Lu Junyi as a guerrilla general. More than ten leaders under his command have obtained positions of more than seven grades.


    It is very difficult for these people to get promoted, that is, there is no magic trick. Their war achievements are at the forefront every time, which makes Song Jiang rank among the top five officials at this time.


    Of course, he is still a commander under Qiji''s command.


    Song Jiang is still satisfied with this, so he will work so hard. Otherwise, if he changes his boss, who knows what will happen.


    He got a lot of rewards, but he didn''t get a promotion.


    The official residence of the Taibao was granted to kaifuyi, the same three departments, the Duke of Longde County and the Privy Deputy envoy. There were only Tong Guan and Cai Jing in front of him. There was no seal, so we could only give more rewards.


    However, the official position has changed. He has changed from Hedong system to Beijing Jingkui system. He is in charge of the military and political power of Kuizhou Road, Beijing southwest road and Jinghu North Road. At the same time, he also holds the post of Xijing left behind.


    Power is further enhanced, and of course, responsibility is further increased.


    Because of Wang Qing''s rebellion, the army built a palace in yun''an and became the king, threatening the safety of Bianjing. Before, Tong Guan and Cai you failed to recover from the defeat, which coincided with a strange plan to calm Hedong and connect them immediately.


    This is no surprise.


    Tong Guan was quite capable of fighting Xixia in the early stage, but unfortunately this is the water margin world. He must break his halberd in front of these major cities in order to let later people rise to the top.


    Song Jiang was convinced early, so he took advantage of the trick.


    Even if the court didn''t order him to go to pingwangqing, he would volunteer.


    Otherwise, why should he bother to reorganize his troops? Don''t you have time to rest?


    Wang Qing''s power is even greater than Tian Hu, and he is not the so-called land of eight states. There are more than ten state capitals, spanning four routes. Because of the complexity of the administrative area, each way prevaricates with each other and is difficult to coordinate, the odd trick was granted the three-way system to make it easier for him to act.


    But Tong Guan has lost his halberd here, and the army has almost been defeated. Even if there is no trick, he can''t trust these armies, so he wants to take the army with tacit understanding to the south.


    Su Yuanjing didn''t even ask the imperial court for instructions, so he agreed directly.


    Because when he came, the emperor made a special explanation and allowed the strange plan to "act conveniently".


    These four words are heavy enough.


    He sent away the Hebei army and ordered the Pingding army and the liaozhou army to return to the station. He planned to go south to the Henan government in Xijing with the integrated 8 million army.


    As for the defense of Hedong border state, it has its own next term system to worry about.
