Chapter 1622: Reduced by 3% within 6 years

Three days later, Yun Zheng returned to Susa Castle and celebrated his victory with all the soldiers in the castle.

The most important part of the celebration is naturally the rewards.

Later, Yun Zheng will order people to build a Daqian Martyrs' Shrine in Yingzhou, and the tablets of the meritorious soldiers who died in this battle will be placed in the Daqian Martyrs' Shrine.

In this battle, the person who made the greatest contribution was naturally Takeshi Sanada.

In recognition of Takeshi Sanada's outstanding contributions, Yun Zheng, in the name of the Regent of Daqian, submitted a petition to the court, posthumously conferring the title of Duke Ying on Takeshi Sanada, granting him the title of the second-rank General Tianwei, and allowing his statue to be placed in the Daqian Martyrs' Shrine!

Tanaka Nobuyuki died of his injuries and was posthumously named Marquis of Pingdong and granted the rank of third-rank General Zhaowu. His statue will also be placed in the Daqian Martyrs' Shrine.

All the generals of the Yu State who died in this battle were posthumously honored.

Zhao Liuliang was also appointed as the Grand Admiral of the Daqian Navy, in charge of the Daqian Navy.

Fan Xiong succeeded Shen Kuan as the commander-in-chief of the navy of Andong Protectorate.

Shen Kuan was the commander-in-chief of the Yingzhou navy.

Liu Feng was appointed deputy admiral of the navy, and Yu Hu was promoted to lieutenant general of the navy.

The navy not only had to wipe out the remnants of the Yu Kingdom’s navy, but also had to expand the two important ports in the north and south, and was responsible for opening up and exploring new shipping routes.

Qinpu was appointed as the governor of Yingzhou, responsible for governing Yingzhou.

Gao He was appointed as the Sima of Yingzhou and the commander of the army.

All other meritorious personnel, except Qin Qihu, who had an incredible number of military achievements, were rewarded.

After the banquet was over, Yun Zheng left Shen Kuan and others behind.

Yun Zheng motioned for them to sit down, ordered someone to serve them tea, and said straight to the point: "While I am still here, if you have any ideas, please tell me now."

Shen Kuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I do have something to say to Your Highness, but it's all private matters, so let's talk about it in private!"

"No need to say it in private."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "We are behind closed doors and there are no outsiders here, so just speak frankly."

"This one……"

Shen Kuan hesitated for a long time before he said, "Before I left for the battle, I had already told Qiqige if I could go back to my country to get married first, and then..."

"When did you tell Qiqige about it?"

Jia Yao interrupted Shen Kuan and asked curiously, "Why don't I know?"

Shen Kuan smiled embarrassedly: "It was the day when Madam Jiayao brought the little prince to the camp..."

Shen Kuan did not dare to lie and simply told Jia Yao about the agreement between him and Qi Qige.

After listening to Shen Kuan's words, everyone couldn't help but look upset.

Is this what he calls an agreement?

This is clearly shameless!

Jia Yao secretly laughed, and then looked at Yun Zheng with a reproachful look: "Look at the kind of people you are teaching!"

“This is normal!”

Yun Zheng laughed, "Besides, since Qi Qige didn't explicitly refuse, that means he agreed!"

"..."

Jia Yao had a dark face.

Not refusing means agreeing?

What kind of logic is this?

Can’t you allow Qi Qige to consider it?

Shen Kuan smiled apologetically and looked at Yun Zheng eagerly, "Your Highness, what do you think about this matter..."

"Don't ask me about that."

Yun Zheng shook his head, "Qi Qi Ge is the commander of Jia Yao's personal guards, you have to ask Jia Yao about this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Kuan immediately looked at Jia Yao eagerly.

Jia Yao was speechless. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Now is the time to hire people. Don't go back! After I go back, I will ask Qi Qi Ge what she thinks. If she is willing, you will meet her in Yingzhou!"

"Thank you, Madam Jiayao!"

Shen Kuan understood what Jia Yao meant and quickly thanked him.

Jia Yao waved her hands, "Don't thank me yet. We don't even know if Qi Qige agrees or not! Anyway, I won't force her!"

Shen Kuan grinned and said no more.

His idea was the same as Yun Zheng's.

Since Qi Qi Ge did not refuse, it means he agreed.

Well, it would be better to let Qiqige come here, so that they don’t have to be separated.

After talking about Shen Kuan, Qin Pu immediately said, "Your Highness, can the governor of Yingzhou be replaced by someone else? Your Highness promised me that you would take me to see the sea of ​​stars, I..."

"Substitution is certain!"

Yun Zheng took over the conversation and looked at Qin Pu meaningfully: "You failed to govern Yingzhou properly, which led to the death of many people in Yingzhou. I must replace you, right?"

Qinpu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses.

Yun Zheng wants him to be the butcher knife!

"I understand!"

Qinpu smiled bitterly and said no more.

"I will talk to you alone about your matter later."

Yun Zheng smiled at Qin Pu and turned to ask the others, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

In the end, it was Gao He who asked about the subsequent conscription matters.

The main force of Yingzhou will definitely be the troops of Daqian, but local troops of Yingzhou are also necessary.

However, Yun Zheng did not tell them how many local troops in Yingzhou should be retained.

"Thirty thousand!"

Yun Zheng replied: "Among them, 3,000 are armored soldiers, and the rest are farmers. However, this is just my preliminary plan, and the specific number will depend on the actual situation..."

Afterwards, Yun Zheng chatted with everyone again.

After making sure that everyone had no other questions, he let everyone leave, leaving Chinpu alone.

Yun Zheng took Qin Pu for a stroll in the palace of Yu Country. "Yingzhou is different from other places. This place is separated from Daqian by the sea. Whether it is support or supply, it takes a lot of time!"

"If we want Yingzhou to be completely stable, we must reduce its population and relocate people from the mainland."

"Yingzhou can be in chaos, but no force can threaten our rule!"

"Most people don't know how to strike the right balance, but you should be able to do it."

"You may think that I am too cruel, but this is all for the sake of long-term peace and stability."

"You also know the geographical location of Yingzhou. As long as Yingzhou is stable, the coastal areas of Daqian will not be invaded again."

"I hope that within three years, the population of Yingzhou can be reduced by more than 60%!"

"Of course, if you achieve this goal within a year, I will immediately send someone to take you back to Daqian for punishment..."

Yun Zheng did not hide anything from Qin Pu and told him his thoughts honestly.

He needed Chimpu to do the dirty work for him.

It is actually very simple to make a place miserable.

However, it is very difficult to make the people live in poverty without arousing resistance from the local people and make them willingly obey!

This job may seem simple, but it is not something that ordinary people can do well.

Otherwise, Yun Zheng could just send a few corrupt officials from Daqian and everything would be solved.

"I understand."

Qinpu nodded gently, "I will do my best!"

Afterwards, Yun Zheng told Qin Pu about the new policies he planned to implement in Yingzhou.

Yun Zheng also gave Qinpu a lot of autonomy.

After the two finished chatting, Yun Zheng said, "I will also send someone to deliver your family to you."

"No need for this."

Qinpu shook his head and smiled, "I have never thought of staying in Yingzhou forever! Let's not let them suffer at sea."

"also!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "Anyway, you can handle the affairs in Yingzhou on your own! If you get tired of doing this, I can send someone from my homeland to replace you!"

Qinpu nodded and said no more...
