Chapter 1528 Triumph

At the end of the battle between Xiguan and Tianshan, Chu Huan mainly handled post-war affairs in Hezhou City, but nothing more than dealing with post-war northwest affairs. The first thing to bear the brunt was naturally the incorporation of the Tianshan cavalry.

Chu Huan was very generous in his policies to the Tianshan cavalry. As long as he stayed to serve as a cavalry, his family would be exempted from labor service and would also be exempted from taxes.

Chu Huan has already sent someone to release the wind and implement the equalization order in Tianshan Mountain. Almost all soldiers in Tianshan are from poor families. Hearing that his family will share the land, he is cheering. He also hears that Chu Huan will be exempted from corvee and reduce taxes. He is even more cheerful. Although some soldiers still want to go home and spend farming to live, more soldiers are willing to stay.

As the main general of the cavalry, Xu Shao had to deal with such a large military service all at once. He thought it would be very difficult, but fortunately, Chu Huan convinced Hou Jingang and others that Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen were the cavalry generals in Tianshan. Although they failed in the battle at Qingyuan Horse Farm, they were already first-class cavalry generals.

Chu Huan sent people to whip the horses and sent a merit letter to Shuoquan. The letter was handed over to the King of Qi, and the letter was soon sent back. According to Chu Huan's intention, the King of Qi signed it. Due to the situation, the northwest was in turmoil. In order to facilitate unified command of the northwest troops and form a powerful force to suppress bandits, the King of Qi agreed to Chu Huan's suggestion that Chu Huan rectify the three northwest troops, especially concentrated cavalry, and only one cavalry was allowed in the northwest.

According to Chu Huan's meaning, the three northwest roads will only allow one cavalry. The base of the cavalry is located in Qingyuan Horse Farm. From now on, this cavalry will be collectively called "Northwest Wind Cavalry". General Xu Shao, as the main general of the northwest Wind Cavalry, was named "General Fengqi Xiaoyu", Hou Jingang is "General Fengqi Left", and Gu Liangchen is "General Fengqi Right", and thus the three are in charge of cavalry affairs, forming and training the new "Northwest Wind Cavalry".

Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen were originally detained and imprisoned, facing the misfortune of beheading, but Chu Huan ignored past grudges and refused to kill and used them, and still allowed them to serve as cavalry generals. On the other hand, this was a gift from the King of Qi, so naturally there was nothing to say. He vowed that he would do his best to be loyal to him.

As for Mingji, to many people's surprise, Chu Huan not only pardoned Mingji, but instead asked Mingji to lead some of the old Tianshan subordinates back to Mingsha to temporarily assist Chang Huan in maintaining the stability of Tianshan.

There are many people in Tianshan in the Ming Dynasty. He is in charge of him. At least the people in Tianshan will not have too much hostility.

Only Sun Can did not mean to surrender, but Chu Huan did not force him and sent someone to escort Sun Can back to his hometown.

When Chu Huan asked Xu Shao and others for the title, he wrote another memorial. If Zhu Lingyue in the mountain has collapsed today, there is a vacant outside the governor of Tianshan. In order to calm people's hearts, a cadre must be sent to Tianshan to implement administrative orders and perform the power of the governor. The person Chu Huan chose was Wei Wuji, the current head of the Ministry of Revenue Department.

In addition, Chu Huan sent a letter to Wei Wuji alone, explaining in detail what he needed to do to go to Tianshan, mainly to appease the people of Tianshan, and then start implementing the local inspection policy in Tianshan, paving the way for the implementation of the equal-field order in Tianshan.

The policy of equalizing land in various prefectures and counties in Xiguan has been implemented smoothly. In fact, Wei Wuji and others do not need to work in the subsequent work. It is suspected that they use a ox knife to kill chickens. Wei Wuji has been responsible for the implementation of the equal land in Xiguan from the beginning. He is not only the suggestion of the equal land, but also the planner of the entire government order.

Wei Wuji had talent, but he was not successful. Moreover, his Juntian Order had never been able to use his skills before. He knew that he had defected to Chu Huan's meeting, so Chu Huan boldly appointed him and even gave him a stage to fully display his talents. He worked hard to fully prove his talents on the Juntian Order of Xiguan. Although he had only been in Xiguan for more than a year, after more than a year of training, his ability to handle government affairs was already very experienced, especially the implementation of Juntian Order. Because Xiguan was ahead, he understood the pros and cons of the implementation process. Chu Huan has transferred him to Tianshan because he believed that with Wei Wuji's leadership, the Juntian Order of Tianshan would be very likely to be implemented smoothly.

Of course, King Qi had no refutation to Chu Huan's suggestion. The documents granted by Xu Shao and others were brought by Wei Wuji himself.

Wei Wuji knew that Chu Huan wanted to let him go to Tianshan, and his purpose would be to be the main force of the equal-field order, so he brought more than ten officials from the Ministry of Revenue Department. These were the talents discovered by Wei Wuji during the implementation of the equal-field order. He was very capable in his work, and most of them were very ordinary. However, as long as Wei Wuji reported to him, Chu Huan never said the word "no", and these people formed a team of equal-field reform with Wei Wuji as the core.

Now that he goes to Tianshan, Wei Wuji knows that the situation in Tianshan is very different from that in Xiguan. Although he has great confidence, he also knows that things will never go so smoothly. There will inevitably be many difficulties in the process. With this group of people following him, his power will be much stronger. Chu Huan naturally has no objection to this.

After Wei Wuji arrived at Hezhou City, he stayed for two days, and Chu Huan had almost talked with Wei Wuji and the officials he wanted to take to Tianshan for two days.

Chu Huan knew that Wei Wuji led more than a dozen officials to the Tianshan Mountains. In the eyes of Tianshan people, it was outsiders and was easily excluded. So he repeatedly reminded that after going to Tianshan, before implementing the equal-field order, the first step is to win people's hearts and not be humble or arrogant. Although not to easily conflict with the gentry and people of Tianshan Mountain, he also needs to establish his reputation. Of course, some government orders that must be adhered to must be unswervingly no matter how much resistance they encounter.

Chu Huan knew that Wei Wuji was cautious in doing things, so he asked him to let go of his hands and feet to implement the Juntian Order. However, he sent Wei Wuji to Tianshan. Juntian Order was one of the important goals, but the most important thing was to hope that Wei Wuji could stabilize Tianshan and make Tianshan a reliable rear of Xiguan. Therefore, he advised Wei Wuji that after arriving in Tianshan, after a period of time, officials' character inspections were needed. Although some officials were left, they still had to kill and cut off some officials with bad character. In addition, there were more than hundreds of officials in various prefectures and counties in Tianshan. To form a new official force, it was necessary to break the old and create new ones, regardless of their origin, and vigorously promote talents and appoint them. Only in this way can Wei Wuji and others integrate into Tianshan.

Wei Wuji was highly valued by Chu Huan and was always grateful. He died for his confidant. Chu Huan's explanation was naturally remembered in his heart.

Before leaving, Chu Huan set up a banquet, and Wei Wuji and others saw him off, and even sent him twenty miles outside the city himself.

After bidding farewell to Wei Wuji, Chu Huan ordered the counties of Hezhou to start preparing to borrow grain and cultivated land. Originally, the four prefectures and prefectures in Xiguan were already preparing to borrow grain and cultivated land after spring, but due to the sudden outbreak of the war, the borrowing of grain was delayed. Fortunately, the war was surprisingly fast and did not delay too long. Everything was still in time. Accounts from various places had been submitted, and the current average land yield of each county and the number of people under its jurisdiction were clearly marked on it. Grain was allocated from the official warehouse according to the quantity. The Ministry of Revenue Department sent officials to escort grain to each county, and then allocated grain to each village according to the accounts. Officials of the Ministry of Revenue Department supervised the whereabouts of grain from beginning to end.

If it were before the war, Chu Huan was still very tight at work. However, this war not only defeated Zhu Lingyue's group in one fell swoop, but also obtained a large number of spoils, including a lot of food. This pile of grain really solved Chu Huan's urgent need. Chu Huan had borrowed a lot of food from the gentry of Xiguan before and stored it everywhere. These foods were to deal with the four states. Now the amount of food sent by Zhu Lingyue is huge, but using it for the use of grain can already solve the Hezhou problem, which allows the strategy of borrowing and subletting to proceed smoothly.

Gan Hou stayed in Hezhou for a while. In addition to Chang Huan's troops stationed in Tianshan, Gan Hou led other troops of the Northwest Army back to Yanmen Pass. Chu Huan was forced to allocate a batch of grain from the Curtain and allocate a batch of new salt to transport it to Yanmen Pass together. It was a reward for the Northwest Army. As for the soldiers who died in this war, Chu Huan would also give him a heavy pension.

By the time the matter in Hezhou was handled almost the same, it had been nearly a month since Chu Huan handed over Hezhou to Han Ying and Huang Yutan. As for Ruo Jinzhou, because Fang Rushui and Chang Huan advanced troops to attack Tianshan, they are now leading Jinzhou troops to station in Shazhou City. The situation in Tianshan is not completely stable. Fang Rushui cannot evacuate Shazhou for the time being. Chu Huan can only temporarily dispatch 1,500 people under his command, Chu Wushuang, who was originally guarding Hulushan, to lead 1,500 people under his command to guard Jinzhou.

When Chu Huan led his army back to Shuoquan, the weather had already warmed up, the grass was growing and the birds were flying, and the weather was very good. General Pei Ji led his troops to enter the military camp outside the city. He seemed to be very accustomed to life in the military camp and did not enter the city easily. Chu Huan returned to the city under the escort of Qi Hong and others.

Although it has only been more than a month since its war, it seems to have been countless years for Chu Huan. When he went to the battle, Chu Huan even thought of dying in the battlefield. Looking at the towering Shuoquan City under the sky, it seems like a different life. But in his heart, he was thinking about his beautiful wife and daughter at home. He knew that during this period of his war, they must be worried that the horse would be like lightning, and they just wanted to return to the mansion to see their wives and children at home soon.

Before he arrived at the city, he saw a crowd of people at the city gate from afar. In his doubts, he could only see drums and music, and cheerfulness. Chu Huan slowed down his horse and saw a group of people coming here. Qi Hong saw it from the side and smiled and said, "Director Chu, I'm afraid that the people in Shuoquan knew about the great victory of Chu, and returned triumphantly, and welcomed him here."

Chu Huan thought it was true. After all, he was triumphantly reunited with tens of thousands of troops under his command, so there was no need to hide his tracks. Along the way, people cheered on both sides of the road from time to time. Shuoquan knew about the news about the troops and organized people to welcome him here. That was not surprising.
