Because the battle of the Southern Expedition was not fought much.
The casualties among the soldiers were also very small, and the baggage and equipment were not used at all.
Therefore, there was no trouble at all during the cleanup process. In addition, with the full command of the two ministers, Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong, it took less than three days in total.
It should be noted that mobilizing an army of 200,000 is never a small matter, and personnel arrangements and other aspects are extremely complicated.
But now it can all be completed within three days, which is undoubtedly an amazing speed.
At the same time, it also reflects the strict military discipline of the Wei Dynasty.
If it were somewhere else, it would definitely not be possible.
During this period.
It just so happened that the barbarian leader Meng Jue, or more precisely the King of Baiyue, was discussing the trade between the two sides in the next few years with several ministers including Song Gongwen.
He happened to see this scene and was immediately shocked because the efficiency was so fast.
I have been a representative for many years, and my soldiers are all loyal to me.
Otherwise, he would not have agreed to surrender some time ago.
But in terms of speed of action, Meng Jue was very clear that his army was no match for the Wei army, and there was also the transportation of baggage, and the strict execution of orders by the Wei army without any panic.
He knew that this was not even the most elite northern army, nor were they the soldiers under the command of Marquis Guanjun of Wei.
If a real fight breaks out between him and Wei, Wei will mobilize armies from all sides.
Baiyue really can't bear it.
Fortunately, both parties can accept the final result and there will be no problems.
In fact, the reason why the army returning to the capital prepared so quickly was not only because of strict discipline, but also because Lu An wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty.
After all, he and his soldiers did not do anything in this southern expedition, but they won in the end.
I think Your Majesty will think that the troops stationed in the southern border are of little use, so naturally I have to show my good side in front of Your Majesty.
Of course, more importantly, Lu An knew that Meng Jue would come to the city to discuss trade matters, so he wanted to use his final deterrent.
As expected, Meng Jue saw it and the effect was achieved.
The last day.
Wei Yunyi still did not show up and was waiting in the palace for everything to be ready.
Of course he knew that Meng Jue had entered the city, but he didn't want to see him now. As for the various matters between the two parties, he could just leave them to his father-in-law. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
It's been negotiated, and it won't reduce or curb your luck or anything.
So you don’t need to worry about it.
However, Meng Jue was extremely nervous about this, because he felt that some things would be best discussed with the Emperor of Wei.
But he didn't expect that the other party didn't want to see him at all, so he thought in his heart that the other party didn't trust Baiyue enough. Although they surrendered, it was the first time after all, and many things could not be confirmed at once.
Of course, he also thought of one thing, that is, it would be good to talk with the ministers of Wei. In case there is any unpleasantness between the two sides, the emperor can come forward to resolve it.
However, what Meng Jue cared about most was the trust that the Emperor of Wei had in the Baiyue people, and there must be no problem with that.
After all, if the Baiyue want to develop in the future, they must rely on the Central Plains.
all in all.
Although three days was a short time, a lot was accomplished. Song Gongwen also knew that since he had to return to the capital, many things had to be kept simple and he didn't need to worry about the details.
He knew that this was His Majesty's strategy to subdue and conquer the Baiyue people, so his side must show magnanimity.
There was also Lu An's arrangement for the various armies. The garrison at Zhennan Pass originally numbered 50,000 to 60,000.
Most of the troops marching south were mobilized from other places in the southern border.
As the main general of this war, you have to take action in all aspects.
that's all.
Three days later, the army finally set off for its return trip.
Wei Yunyi finally left the palace, boarded the dragon chariot, and set out on the journey back to the capital.
In fact, he was not very happy. According to the original plan, this southern expedition would last at least three months, not counting the time spent on the road. But unexpectedly, everything was settled in less than two months.
As expected, the situation of mutual strife between Baiyue and Wei did not occur, but only all-round victory.
Just kidding, the Baiyue people, who had never been conquered in all dynasties, finally chose to surrender.
Even if Wei Yunyi did not include it in his territory.
But in fact it's almost the same.
God knows why the final result turned out like this.
Especially before leaving, Meng Jue actually wanted to see him off in person. If he hadn't refused outright, he would have seen him again. How annoying!
"Your Majesty." Not long after leaving Zhennan Pass, Wang Jin stepped onto the dragon chariot, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Haizhou, sent a memorial saying that the navy's warships have been built. There aren't many, but there are dozens of them, with sufficient draft. At the same time, the navy's training is also underway."
"However, recently, the remnants of the previous dynasty, Prince Yuan San, and the Japanese seem to have joined forces and seized many islands. They are now mutually supporting each other and appear to be threatening the safety of Haizhou. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty for a decision. This is a memorial."
Not in the capital, without the imperial study, Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong are busy with many things every day.
Therefore, regarding the submission of the memorial, Wei Yunyi also gave a part of it to Wang Jin.
This is part of the duties of the Imperial Household Department and is absolutely nothing.
But when he heard that the Japanese and the third prince of Yuan had joined forces to threaten Haizhou, he immediately frowned.
