Chapter 461 Handling Political and Military Affairs
After fighting for so many years, can't we just enjoy ourselves?
Ma Ling comforted himself in this way, and then followed the guards to the palace where the concubines were imprisoned.
There were a total of forty or fifty concubines in the harem. They used to live alone in the palace and enjoyed the best treatment.
Now, the capital of Qi State was destroyed, and they became helpless and prisoners.
There were more than a dozen houses in a palace compound, housing more than a dozen concubines, as well as many palace maids and eunuchs.
Now that the Southern King has arrived, all these people must be called out.
Holding lanterns in the darkness, these women looked pitiful and did not dare to look up at the King of the South.
The King of the South pretended to be a little drunk, and after scanning them one by one, he chose a woman with a plump figure.
The same thing happened to the other concubines.
He was not going to be beheaded, but the prince wanted to have sex with a woman.
Then, a bold concubine immediately flirted and said,
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to serve you, along with Sister Cui, and I beg Your Majesty to show me mercy."
The other concubines followed suit and hurriedly seduced Ma Ling.
Ma Ling was unmoved and just chose the one he liked best.
Then he went to several other palaces.
When he came out, he was followed by five concubines and a very beautiful palace maid.
These six women are all his now.
Then, King Nan brought them all to his bedroom.
While the Southern Prince was partying every night, Shen Changgong slept alone in the open air.
Early the next morning, after Shen Changgong got up, he washed his face while listening to Gongsun Wan'er talking about this matter with a gossipy look on her face.
"Wow, six? Lord Horse is still going strong despite his age."
Shen Changgong expressed considerable shock.
Gongsun Wan'er rolled her eyes at him and said,
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Southern Prince isn't even forty yet, so he's not old. But then again, you can't let him outshine you.
Tonight, I will find seven women for you. We can’t lose to him.”
Shen Changgong: ???
"No, Gongsun Wan'er, you woman, your thoughts are more dangerous than Tu Que Ling. Why do you two only think about finding women for me every day?
Seven, are you trying to tire me out? Even an iron rod can be ground into a needle.
Be good and listen to me. We won’t compete with him on this matter. I have very high standards for choosing women.”
Gongsun Wan'er nodded in agreement, and then said,
“I understand. It’s not that we don’t want the queen. Unfortunately, the queen of Liang is already dead. But that queen is almost fifty years old. I guess you don’t like her either.
As for the Queen of Wei... I don't think there's much information. I'll send Skynet to gather some."
"Just pull it off."
Shen Changgong grabbed her hair and pulled her back.
After leaving the bedroom and having a simple breakfast in the imperial study, Shen Changgong went to deal with military affairs and intelligence from various places.
First of all, in Linzi, the Qi army has basically been cleared out. Even if there are a small number of them hiding in the homes of ordinary people, it is not a big deal.
Shen Changgong asked the Yan army to post a notice to reassure the people, telling them that this would be the city of Yan from now on. The Yan army guaranteed that they would not harm anyone and would allow the people to live and work in peace.
He also encouraged the people to actively report the hiding Qi troops.
Then comes the matter of dealing with the prisoners of war.
In this battle, the Yan army was bloodthirsty and killed at least half of the 150,000 Qi soldiers and captured more than 70,000 alive.
In addition to the 10,000 prisoners of war brought by Cui Xin of Heqi County, the 50,000 prisoners of war brought by Zhang Han of Zhennan Army, and 40,000 civilian laborers.
After much deliberation, Shen Changgong decided to keep these prisoners of war and dismiss most of the laborers. Those who lived far away from home went home first, and those who lived close to home helped to repair the city wall. They were paid and provided with food, and then performed labor service to help the army march and fight.
The number of prisoners of war was 130,000.
Shen Changgong allocated 30,000 people, of whom 20,000 were to be disorganized and reorganized, and Yan generals were to be arranged to guard Linzi City.
Then more than 10,000 people were responsible for filling the number of casualties in each army.
With the remaining 100,000 people, Shen Changgong planned to form a pure Qi army legion.
Now in the Yan army, the majority are Kun people, and there are fewer Yan people, such as the Tianyu Army, Wushuang Army, Feiying Army, Baipao Army, etc., which are all pure Kun people.
Especially the Tianyu Army, which has the largest number of people and its commander Yu Huatian is even more favored.
In order to prevent the Kun people from becoming too powerful, Shen Changgong decided to establish another Qi army.
Now that we have conquered the state of Qi, which has abundant money and food, and can provide a steady supply of money and food, it is still easy to support an army of 100,000 people.
As for the name of the new legion, Shen Changgong proposed to call it the Yuying Army.
As for the new army's commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, Shen Changgong had already made preparations.
They are Yu Ziling and Yang Hongying respectively. Just like the Tianyu Army, you can tell who they belong to by the name of the legion.
Yang Hongying is brave and loyal, but she is not very good at tactics and strategy, nor is she very steady. She can be a deputy commander.
As for Yu Ziling, after fighting with her, Shen Changgong also realized that this queen was indeed resourceful and could make contingency plans based on the actual situation. She was also the first person to make the Yan army suffer a great loss. She was capable and steady in her work, and was worthy of being a commander-in-chief.
Both of them are daughters of generals. They have been practicing military tactics and reading military books since childhood.
This is also the first time that Shen Changgong has formed a legion with both the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief being women. He hopes that these two women can bring him a miracle.
Of course, the Queen Mother was still in a coma at this time and had not yet agreed to be Shen Changgong's subordinate.
But it doesn't matter. Before Tang Xinyi was captured, Shen Changgong had already planned to make her the right prime minister, but in the end, he fell little by little.
After Shen Changgong made his plan, he also drew up several candidates for generals. These generals all came from the conscription order and were familiar with Yang Hongying. Yang Hongying also had to have her own team.
After making the plan, Shen Changgong asked someone to call Yang Hongying and the others over.
After receiving the news, Yang Hongying immediately rushed over with a few people. When she reached the door, she happened to meet the Southern King Ma Ling, who was walking unsteadily.
"Greetings to His Highness the Southern Prince."
After the ceremony, everyone went into the house.
Ma Ling sat on the chair with a look of despair on his face, and the generals didn't know what had happened.
Shen Changgong went straight to the point and told Yang Hongying the news of the newly established Yuying Army. He appointed her as deputy commander and several other people as generals, asking them to select suitable prisoners of war to form an army as soon as possible.
Yang Hongying was surprised when she heard this.
"Your Majesty, if I am the deputy commander, who will be the commander?"
Shen Changgong smiled slightly and asked,
"What do you think?"
Yang Hongying thought about it and shook her head.
"Can not guess."
"That's why you're not allowed to be the head coach. You can't even figure this out."
Shen Changgong shook his head in disappointment.
A general who was in charge of the military campaign said in a low voice,
"Sister Yang, Yu Yingjun, your Ying character is placed after the Yu character, so it must be the Empress."
