On July 29, only four days before the Liaonan soldiers set out, the Liaonan soldiers were carried back to Duli Zhengang from Zhenhai, Lutao, Anlan and Fubo. In just a few days, they returned with a full load.
More than 100 large and small warships were loaded with victorious troops and horses to fight against the 10th battalion in southern Liaoning, and were also stuffed with countless money and food.
The five hundred sea ships that Li Guan temporarily transferred to them before the Liaonan Army set off, had an average load of more than 1,000 stones. All of them were filled with cabins, and even the decks were filled with goods.
The Duli Zhenjun and Zhendongjun, who failed to participate in the robbery of Youzhou, rushed to the dock to watch, and many merchants and ordinary people also came to see it. Hundreds of large ships slowly entered the port, and then they leaned towards the dock of Changxing Island one by one.
The first boat was the first to dock. The ones who came ashore were the Liangyao Qin Zongshou, and there were two soldiers and horse envoys from the Liaonan Army, Shi Shoucheng and Jiang Ju, and there were also the ten generals of Zhenhai Camp, Li Xu, the ten generals of Nutao Camp, Megan, the ten generals of Julie, the ten generals of Anlan Camp, Zhang Lie, the ten generals of Anlan Camp, Meng Yang, the ten generals of Fubo Camp, Wu Qian and other officers.
The officers who had just arrived ashore were all happy and hurriedly came forward to pay homage to Li Guan. Qin Zongshou smiled at Li Guan and said, "General, the brothers have gained a lot this time. They have captured six counties in Youzhou. Several other battalions have also plundered dozens of markets and villages. The brothers of the navy drove the boat directly into the Zhangshui of Youzhou, the canal, and the Baoqiu River and the Rushui of Pingzhou. Unfortunately, there are too few ships and many things cannot be loaded. If you can transfer more ships, don't have more, there are only Hezhou ships with a capacity of 20,000 stones. It would be enough to give you a dozen or twenty."
Li Guan was also in a good mood and laughed and scolded: "There are dozens of Hezhou Zai. Most of the 500 sea boats dispatched this time were temporarily borrowed from the caravans in Duli Town, Qingnicheng and Dengzhou Port. Hezhou Zai was originally dedicated to the canals and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but it was not easy to borrow ten of them this time. You actually want to ask for more than ten or twenty more. Do you want to move Youzhou directly?"
Shi Shoucheng, the left-wing soldier in the southern Liaoning, looked at things with anticipation. Li Guan: "Young marshal, I couldn't get enough of this time. I hurriedly counted it roughly when I was on the sea. The copper coins I snatched were about one million stalks, more than two million pieces of silk, more than two million pieces of linen, and more than 30,000 pieces of other high-quality silk materials such as silk, satin, etc. In addition, there were some gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry. In addition, some valuable goods collected from the six cities could also be worth about one million."
Li Yan smiled but said nothing, just looking at Shi Shoucheng.
Shi Shoucheng did not dare to hide anything and continued to report: "There is also that we know that the food is precious now, so we specially brought all the grain in the grain warehouses and grain stores in the six cities onto the boat. Even the grain in the houses was found. Good guy, the grain in the six cities was enough to be more than 500,000 stones. Fortunately, our navy drove the boat directly to the city, otherwise we would not be able to take it away."
"In addition, we also robbed 100,000 young men and women to come back!" The last one, Shi Shoucheng felt a little guilty when he said it.
Needless to say, Li Guan had already seen that the decks of the ships on the port were crowded with panic people. Moreover, long before the fleet entered the port, Li Xu and Meghan had already sent people back in advance to inform Li Guan of the results of the dispatch of troops. Compared with each other, Li Guan was very clear about the gains this time.
When Li Guan first heard that he had robbed 100,000 Youzhou Qingshen came back, he was also a little shocked. This shocked him even more than Li Guan's knowledge that they had robbed six county towns. He had a son-in-law who unexpectedly wanted to capture six cities, but it was really an unexpected surprise to steal 100,000 people back.
Looking at the anticipated gazes of the generals in southern Liaoning, he knew what these people were waiting for. They were waiting for him to fulfill his promise before sending troops and send half of the gains to them.
After pondering for a while, Li Guan said on the spot: "According to the agreement before going out, half of the proceeds from the various troops who went to the expedition will be handed over to the army. Then 20% of them will be distributed to the soldiers who left behind, and the remaining ones will be returned to the army to support the army. According to the agreement, the soldiers who have been robbed will be kept by themselves."
"General wise!" Shi Shoucheng and others were extremely excited at this time. It was beyond their expectations that they would take so much money, grain and property. When they came back, they were both happy and worried, and they were afraid that Li Guan would regret it at that time and refused to share half of these to them.
At that moment, Li Guan called many staff officers and soldiers to help estimate the money, grain and goods unloaded on each ship. Finally, it was found that this time, all the money, grain and cloth and goods were worth more than 6 million yuan, which was not counted as the 100,000 people. Among them, 500,000 stones of grain alone are worth more than 2 million stag, and silk cloth and other silk are worth about 3 million yuan.
He directly snatched six county towns in Youzhou, which were considered prosperous, and also snatched a lot of villages and villages. The shops and warehouses on the canal were evacuated by them.
Li Guan did not say the truth and asked the soldiers to collect half of the three million yuan of money and grain into the army on the spot. Three million yuan, Li Guan took out another 600,000 guan and distributed it to the 14,000 guan and the 5,000 guan of the left-behind army and the 5,000 Duli army. After all, each left-behind soldier was given 31 guan this time. Of course, the money was not evenly divided, and it had to be reduced by grade level, but the least one lower-class soldier was also given 20 guan.
Of course, for convenience and speed, Li Guan sent the soldiers all the banknotes issued by Sihai Money House. Twenty cents of coins, two bills with a face value of ten cents will be finished. If you need it, you can buy them with the banknotes.
The remaining three million guan was not fully obtained. Shi Shoucheng, Qin Zongshou and others took the initiative to divide the four naval camps together. Li Guan naturally had no objection to this, and the other Liaonan soldiers also felt that it was appropriate. Without the navy's bold move directly into the Inland River in Youzhou, they would not have achieved such a great gain.
There were 14,000 people in the 14,000 people divided into three million, and the average income of each person was 214 jin. This was a huge reward for a middle-level officer. In the end, Li Guan asked the Zhendong Army to take all the materials, money and grain into the warehouse, and then directly sent money to the Liaonan soldiers and the navy.
After three million was sent, the lowest-level soldiers all received 140 guan. Although 140 guan was replaced by a stack of banknotes with the smell of ink, during this period, the Liaonan soldiers and Zhendong Army had been in contact with Zhendong Army for a long time. They had known that in Dengzhou and Zhendong Army, they had already issued such banknotes instead of food and wages. Although it was just a piece of paper, they could still be used to buy things, and it was much more convenient than copper coins. There was no need to worry about not being able to buy things without money. Everyone happily accepted them.
The materials on the ship were still unloading at the port terminal, but since the Zhendong Army had sent people and Liaonan officers to estimate the value of the goods, they had no need to wait until all the goods were unloaded and they had already obtained a portion of them. Although this estimate was not accurate enough, the actual cargo must be more than 6 million yuan, but when everyone went to sea, they had already obtained hundreds of stagnants of money, and who still cared about the remaining amount.
Now all the money and goods belong to Zhendong Army and have nothing to do with everyone. The Liaonan soldiers with money in their arms did not leave immediately.
There are still 100,000 young and strong people waiting to be distributed. Since the integration of southern Liaoning, senior officers such as Shi Shoucheng, Jiang Ju, and Qin Zongshou have almost all been assigned a piece of land, with the most 1,000 acres and the fewer are more than 10,200 acres. Moreover, the wasteland is now being vigorously reclaimed, and most of the soldiers in the homes of each family are reclaiming wasteland, which is when labor is needed.
In the past, the Goguryeo and the Khitans often did this, plundering the Han people when they were fighting grass, becoming their slaves, and farming for them. Therefore, they robbed so many young and strong people this time, and they were trying to let these people give everyone the idea of farming.
Li Guan knew everyone's plans very well, but even if the other party was the Youzhou people who had long been disobeyed by the Tang Dynasty, they were also Han people. They were slaves to their own compatriots, and he could not do this. This is different from the battle face-to-face battle on the battlefield, either you die or I die.
After thinking for a long time, he turned to look at Li Zhen and his planners. Their eyes did not agree with the transformation of Youzhou people into slaves. Literature is not like military generals, and he reads many sub-collections of classics, and after all, his heart is influenced by Confucianism.
"I think that each soldier in the left and right wings of Liaonan can be left behind, four of the gangs who are at the top of the team, six of the heads, eight of the battalion-level officers, and ten of the wing-level generals. The brothers of the fourth battalion also report this, and the soldiers of Zhendong Army and Duli Town can be left behind." Li Guan said carefully.
The officers from various departments who had been waiting to divide the slaves listened attentively, but they did not object to the sharing ratio. They were more evenly divided. Everyone made a lot of money before, so they didn't care much about this.
After listening to the allocation plan, the generals of each department wanted to choose people.
"Slow down!" Li Guan said loudly, "I haven't finished speaking." He coughed and said slowly, "Although these are the people of Youzhou, they are also our Tang people. If they are Hu people, I don't oppose everyone treating them as their own slaves, but we should not enslave them in this way. I suggest that after these people are divided into various families, they will be treated as tenants, and let them help you open up land and pay a certain amount of rent and tax. The remaining food will be left for them to live. The rent will be set for you six and four."
Many generals were a little surprised, but they did not expect that Li Guan would make such a proposal in the end.
Seeing everyone silent, Li Guan said seriously: "This is a request from the people of Youzhou on behalf of me, Li Guan, to everyone!"
Li Guan said this to this point. Although each general was not very satisfied, he had to come forward and say, "We will obey the order!"
