14. Li Qi in the tea cage

After Li Qi fled, Yao Zhian, the military envoy from Shitou Five City, saw that the wind had changed, immediately led three thousand subordinates out of the city to surrender.

Gao Yue's general Guo Zaizhen then issued an announcement from An people, saying: Xuan, She, Sheng (at that time, Jinling belonged to Shengzhou) several states were calm, and the culprit Li Qi fled alone. He was not long after his life. The materials obtained by the army were piled up like mountains. Except for armor and weapons, the remaining rice, grain, salt, wine, meat jerky, tea, cloth, money, etc. were all caused by Li Qi's exploitation of the people. The Duke of Wei issued an order in advance and took nothing, and returned to the local people.

As a result, Xuanshe and the people of western Zhejiang were all excited and rushed to lead the way for the Wuyi army. Then the Wuyi army, the Caishi army, and the Danyang army gathered into a huge armed force and attacked Jingkou.

Two days later, the navy of the Jingkou Town Navy suddenly broke out. The capital generals Qiu Cen and Qiu Chi, with seventeen building ships and dozens of small ships, drove to the backyard of Yangzi Town on the other side. There, the two generals met Gao Yue, and bowed to him and were enthusiastically helped up by Gao Yue.

"I just regret that the orders of the fifteen states, money, etc. were all in the Jingkou Military Palace treasury, and were controlled by Li Qi's confidant, Yu Hou Han Yun, or he would have to carry it out and hand it over to your Duke Wei."

Gao Yue said: "The purpose of my Huainan army this time is nothing more than two. One is to save the people from water and fire, and the other is to punish Li Qi, and send all the tax rice and tax money he seized to Shangdu. With you and the Zhenhai ships coming to invest, there is no barrier in Jingkou. I think Li Qi and Han Yun dare not do anything to the treasury. If there is any damage and arson, I will kill the entire clan and the law!"

Erqiu was very happy and asked Wu Yi's army to board the ship and attack Jingkou.

Therefore, Gao Yue and the 6,000 Wu Yi Central Army boarded the surrendered Zhenhai Ship, crossed the river, and forced them to move to Jingkou City.

At this time, the west of Jingkou was Guo Zaizhen, Wang Qiqi, and Bai Liangqi's army came to attack, and on the east side were Li Ruochu, Wang Wei, and Li Shangrong surrounded him, and Gao Yue was on a large ship to show off his martial arts. It was already a dead end.

The children of the Fourth Court of Zhenhai Army, how could they have any idea of ​​being loyal to Li Qi? Countless people crossed the siege, abandoned the beacon tower, and surrendered to Gao Yue like an avalanche.

Soon, after receiving Gao Yue's promise of "being guilty as much as his family", Han Yun drew his sword and committed suicide. His command completely handed over the city, and all the troops attacked the entrance of Jingkou.

Three days later, in Jingxian Mountain, Li Qi, who was abandoned with armor and disheveled faces, hid in the tea garden. He was found by the tea farmers, beaten up and sent him to Ganlu Temple, where Gao Yue was waiting for him.

At this moment, Guo Zaizhen handed the Yunfu sword, which symbolized victory and triumphant success, back to Gao Yue. Gao Yue wore the sword, and then saw Li Qi being detained in a short sill cage under the steps of the temple gate, with his hands and feet being handcuffed, and he curled up and squatted there.

"When you used tea cages to carve the people in Jiangnan, did you think that one day you would enter this threshold?" Gao Yue scolded sternly.

Li Qi cursed back with a tough slogan: "It is a trivial matter to add some miscellaneous taxes. What's the problem with this world's wealth? What's the point of taking it? You, a senior high school senior, started a rebellion without authorization, killed the soldiers of the navy, and detained the clan's commander. What was your intention?"

"Save the people and save the loyal and good."

Li Qi said, "Under the guise of saving the people and saving the loyal and loyalty, you overturned the Tang Dynasty. This time I was ignorant of the situation when I was in the war, but I didn't expect that there were so many military commanders who were willing to make trouble with you, otherwise you would be your senior year in the senior year of high school."

"I'm called quelling chaos, how about it?" Gao Yue didn't care, and then said to Li Qi, you and Gongsun Jie are about to travel two thousand miles of Cao Road, and you will be dealt with when you arrive in Chang'an City.

Li Qi didn't understand what was going on, so he was lifted up by the soldiers. Then he was thrown on a vocational boat. The shackles and shackles were directly nailed to the deck with large iron nails. Then the ship was sent to Chang'an along with the vocational boats in Huainan and Runzhou, and many merchant ships from Huaiyang area.

Then Gao Yue sat in Jingkou, abolished all the heavy taxes that Li Qi had and abolished Li Qi's prohibition law, sacked most of the tax sites and ponds, and reduced 90% of the taxes. He also released all the rice, grain and money in Li Qi's private house and the treasury, and divided them into three categories, one category rewarded the soldiers participating in the war, one category to provide relief to the poor, and the other category to dismiss the Zhenhai Army.

As for many of Li Qi's aides who relied on to do evil, including Yu Hou and tax collectors, Gao Yue personally sat in the yamen and asked the officials, civilians and scholars to report them together. Those who were most guilty were executed immediately, and those who were punished and confiscated their property would be defrauded.

In just ten days, the fifteen prefectures of Xuanrunyue quickly settled down and the weather became a new one.

But Gao Yue was definitely not unreserved. He kept all the money and money of Huainan and Suzhou and Hangzhou. If the emperor gave in, he would directly recharge it as military expenses for the expedition: Gao Yue was actually kind, and he would not be prepared to ask the Treasury Department for any excess expenses.

In addition, during the Korean era, the Zhenhai Army owned thirty building ships and hundreds of silhouette fighting ships, which were also collected by Gao Yue. Most of the Zhenhai Army was cut off by Gao Yue. Since the defense of Houjing Gate, Gao Yue has completely appointed Bai Liangqi's Danyang Army.

Bai Liangqi was also very grateful, so he assured Gao Yue that I, Danyang Army...

Gao Yue also felt something was wrong and quickly replied to Bai, "Danyang's military name is unlucky. After that, your army and Caishi, Yisheng's three armies merged into a new Zhenhai Army, and the state united their children abolished the troops and stopped them from working as farmers."

Soon, Liu Zan, Li Ruochu, Wang Wei and others all came, and Gao Yue made arrangements for them in private:

After that, Zhenhai Army was only one army, and mainly naval warships. Our road was preparing to station it in Yuezhou and Mingzhou, and it was still divided into Xuanshe, the three observers in western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang. It was still the three of you who were in office, and the security was as old as before and without any changes.

The three of them were happy, so they understood it. They wrote a memorial and tried their best to tell the emperor about Li Qi's crimes, and said that all of them were caused by Li Qi's private seizure of the two taxes.

Also willing to testify for this was Wang Haichao, the queen of Yangzi, who was suddenly "removed the misunderstanding" with Gao Yue, released him from prison, and insisted that when he crossed the river to supervise Li Qi's two taxes, Li Qi spoke rudely and humiliated the court.

Under conclusive evidence, the ship nailed Li Qi soon arrived in Bianzhou.

The Jiedushi Dong Jin hurriedly asked the military commander Ju Wenzhen to discuss it.

Ju Wenzhen said, "This is a matter between everyone and Huainan. We will just follow the power and do not cause trouble again and cause disaster to the world."

Dong Jin immediately understood and asked the military officers to send some rice and water to Li Qi and Gongsun Jie, and then continued to ship and sent the two of them to Heyin Transportation Hospital.

In fact, Ju Wenzhen is right.

In this struggle, Gao Yue timely limited the scale and extension, but only captured Li Qi, sent him to the capital, and temporarily annexed the fifteen prefectures of Xuanrunyue.
