Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others were also extremely enthusiastic when leading the rebel soldiers.

After calling a few minions to register the soldiers and generals.

Then they guided them one after another to rest in the temporary camps.

This recruitment and surrender work was carried out until midnight that day, and then it came to an end.

Compared with those soldiers, Zhao Ji's way of dealing with Jia Jingzhong and Liang Zhongshu was much simpler and rougher.

Because these two people are Cai Jing's die-hard subordinates.

Therefore, Zhao Ji does not plan to adopt a gentle policy towards those two people.

He immediately ordered that the two men be thrown into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.

He also ordered the officials inside to torture and interrogate the two men in every possible way.

Once those two people are almost recruited, they will be liquidated and dealt with according to the laws of the Song Dynasty without mercy.

As for the two generals Han Cunbao and Li Congji and their subordinates who made great contributions during this rebellion under the guidance of Wu Yong, Zhao Ji and others?

Although the two of them did kill many rebel soldiers under Cai Jing's command by mistake.

But their subjective rebellion is also a fact.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhao Ji decided to punish the soldiers under the two generals Li Congji and Han Cunbao by owed 100 taels per capita to the imperial court.

If after this, such a serious crime of rebellion is committed again.

Then just like the rebel sergeants under Cai Jing, they themselves were severely punished and implicated in the nine tribes.

When the soldiers in those two places heard that Zhao Ji was acting like this, they couldn't help but be extremely moved.

And what about Han Cunbao and Li Congtian?

Zhao Ji's opinion here is that each person should be fined 10 taels of silver and demoted three levels in a row.

Of course, for those two generals, if after accepting the punishment regulations, they refuse to pay the fine on the excuse that there is no money in the mansion.

The handling opinions given by Zhao Ji are also quite straightforward.

That is, keeping those two generals locked up.

Until the two generals and their families can come up with 10 taels of silver.

When Generals Li Congqi and Han Cunbao saw Zhao Ji's tough attitude, they couldn't help but give in.

Within a few days, 10 taels of silver were raised through connections between various parties and delivered to the treasury in person.

At this point, these two generals can be regarded as having their evil deeds punished.

As for Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City?

These two local powerful people first listened to Cai Jing's temptation and led thousands of troops and horses under their command to become enemies of Zhao Ji's troops.

Then during the battle of generals, several generals were sent out one after another, causing a lot of trouble to the Shuibo Liangshan forces that had decided to submit to the imperial court.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was not used to those two local forces at all.

Women, be dismissed on the spot.

All men were drafted into the army.

If he fails to comply, he will be directly punished as a major crime of treason.

At this point, the coup in the capital initiated by Cai Jing himself has come to an end.

Originally, Zhao Ji had thought that once the rebellion in Tokyo City was over, he would immediately resume going to court and actively handle government affairs.

After all, at this time, there were only a few months left before the Dajin cavalry went south to attack the Song Dynasty.

If Zhao Ji cannot stabilize the situation in the Song Dynasty within this period of time.

Then one day, the Dajin army will attack in a big way.

With foreign enemies and the internal turmoil of the Song Dynasty, even if Zhao Ji could order the Ministry of Industry to build more steel tanks, he might not be able to remain invincible within that period of time.

But just when Zhao Ji told Liu Tanxin this idea, Liu Tanxin gave a different idea:

"Guan Family, there has just been a large-scale rebellion in Tokyo City."

"The number of civilian casualties is countless."

"The officials' homes have also become dilapidated."

"If we organize civil and military officials to discuss matters at court at this time, I am afraid it will only be counterproductive."

"Why don't we give lunch to those officials first and leave five days for them to deal with their household chores first."

"After five days, the officials will lead the ministers to discuss matters in the Jinluan Palace. Perhaps the effect will be better."

Zhao Ji also felt that what Liu Tanxin said was very reasonable, so he set the specific date for the resumption of government affairs in five days.

At this time, since the rebellion in the capital has been determined, the palace is naturally much safer.

So Zhao Ji took Zhong Shidao to the cold palace and met his two daughters.

He then asked Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others to lead the brothers back to Ping'an Dazhai.

There, he was waiting to be accepted by the imperial court.

In this way, another day or two passed.

In the palace, the previous order was restored.

Zhao Ji's wives and concubines also moved out of the cold palace and returned to their original places.

Five days passed by in a blink of an eye.

When Zhao Ji came to the court again and sat on the dragon chair.

The emotions in my heart are really countless.

Fortunately, a few days ago, I led the Ping'an Dazhai and Shuibo Liangshan coalition forces to put down the coup caused by Cai Jing's troops in the capital.

If not, I may never be able to sit in this position today.

Whether he can survive or not is unknown.

Fortunately, before that, I had already left a force outside the palace.

At the same time, the group of people on Shuibo Liang Mountain was also captured.

If not, I really can't say what the situation would be like today.

When Zhao Ji set his sights further and focused on the civil and military officials above the court.

Seeing the courtiers in the past, although their faces looked quite tired at this time, their physical condition was still good:

Fortunately, Cai Jing's humanity has not been lost.

He has never dealt a heavy blow to any civil or military member of the Manchu Dynasty.

Otherwise, we would be facing civil and military officials with mutilated limbs at this time.

I'm afraid that no matter who comes, it will be of no use.

Because during this period of time, all civil and military officials were under house arrest by Cai Jingna.

So at this moment, they didn't have anything to report to Zhao Ji.

Yes, they are just some questions about which courtyard in Tokyo has a lot of dead bodies, which scenery is seriously damaged and needs urgent repairs, etc.

Zhao Ji didn't think much about such chores.

Instead, he just threw all these problems to Su Yuanjing and let him take full charge of them.

Zhao Ji saw the performance of the courtiers coming to an end.

So he brought up a topic here:

"Now, since all Cai Jing's troops have surrendered."

"Accordingly, the property raids of Cai Jing, Liang Zhongshu, Jia Jingzhong, Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City, etc. should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
