Along with the bright sky lanterns came the painful screams of the prisoners.

Yan Changqing glanced at Qin Yaoguang and explained, "We have limited military strength and cannot let the Tibetans figure out our true strength. Only this kind of torture can kill their desire to spy on us and resist."

With such a cruel side, he was a little worried about what she would think.

Afraid that she would be afraid of herself.

"I understand. You did the right thing."

Qin Yaoguang looked at him and smiled: "To treat the enemy, you must be as cruel and ruthless as the harsh winter. To your own people, you must be as warm as the spring breeze."

She borrowed a phrase from the hero in her heart, and after she said it, Qin Yaoguang was shocked to realize that her experiences in modern society had left such a deep mark on her.

Deep enough to blurt out.

Yan Changqing was slightly startled, the lines of his facial features suddenly softened, and he felt relaxed inside.

With such a wise and like-minded wife, what more could a husband ask for?

When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the bloodstains had been basically cleaned up. The Fengqi Tower with its carved beams and painted buildings had been burned to the ground, with only a piece of fire still emitting steam.

There were not many Tibetan nobles and slaves left, so the room seemed a bit empty.

The two of them then went about their business separately.

The person who carried out the Sky Lantern Punishment came forward to ask for credit. Yan Changqing asked him to be responsible for the food and daily life of the rest of the people, and established a rule that if one person is missing, everyone will be held responsible.

Until Dajing completely takes over this land, these people are not allowed to leave the City Lord's Mansion.

If you control them, you can control the forces behind them.

In addition, the military advisor immediately drafted a notice:

The content is roughly that Princess Dajing missed her homeland and heard that the people of Juyan were living in dire straits. She did not hesitate to take risks and finally joined hands with Prince Anle to kill Pabala on the horse and executed the assassin by burning him to death.

Since then, this land has returned to Dajing's embrace.

Every citizen on this land, whether Tibetan, Han, or foreigner, will be protected by Dajing.

From now on, the Tibetan laws will be abolished and the Dajing laws will be implemented.

Let the unreasonable rules that have caused public outrage, such as "the right of first night" and "lighting sky lanterns", become a thing of the past.

When signing, the military advisor found Qin Yaoguang and asked for her signature.

This announcement will be issued jointly in the name of her and Yan Changqing.

Qin Yaoguang read it carefully and immediately understood Yan Changqing's intention.

He was clearing her name.

After all, the news that Pabala was going to marry Princess Dajing had caused a lot of fuss.

Even though this place is far away from the central government of Dajing, her identity is different. She was originally sent as an envoy in the name of enthroning Suojibu. Her every move has different political meanings.

She can't be tainted.

Otherwise, it would not only affect her personal reputation, but would also directly affect the reputation of the royal family.

All the difficulties involved will be wiped out.

Qin Yaoguang was touched and did not refuse. She only added: "The people of Juyan City and those who came to Dajing within this month will be exempted from taxes for three years. No more than that."

Any promotion has a deadline, which encourages people to turn their purchasing impulse into actual action.

The same principle applies to domestic affairs.

Since Juyan City already belongs to Dajing, instead of guarding against the invasion of Tubo, it is better to offer enough benefits to cause the other side to be divided internally.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Everywhere, there is internal strife.

Even among the nobles, there are those with vested interests and those who are oppressed and want change.

Yan Changqing broke the old monopoly and she is providing an opportunity for a reshuffle. People with ideas will naturally seize this opportunity.

In this way, as long as a few people are interested and take action, more and more people will follow.

Herd mentality.

What's more, since these are real benefits, some people will rush to get them, fearing that others will get the benefits and they will be left behind.

"My eldest princess, that's a good idea!"

The military advisor's eyes lit up and he praised it repeatedly.

Rather than paying the price of blood in a head-on battle, it is better to divide the enemy without bloodshed.

And this is something only the eldest princess can do.

She was an imperial envoy sent by the court, holding the emperor's edict and having the power to handle important affairs.

Recapturing Juyan City was an action that no one expected, and she had the right to make the decision.

The three-year tax levy was a rare benevolent policy for the local people. Even during the reign of Da Jing, there would not have been such a good thing.

But for Dajing, this land was occupied by Tubo and the tax revenue was originally zero.

Since you have nothing to begin with, there is naturally nothing to lose.

After the recovery, there was still income three years later.

After the military advisor left, Su Bai came to report the casualties of the battle, and Qing Bai came to report the military merit statistics.

Yan Changqing brought all the excellent soldiers with him, and only a few people from the staff team came. Qin Yaoguang took over the logistics, pensions, military merit and other matters.

As for cleaning up a house for two people to stay in, etc., it was just a trivial matter.

No matter how much they were concerned about the capital and worried about Prince Ruyang's rebellion, it was of no use at this moment.

The Juyan City that was recovered by chance would never be handed back to Tubo. No matter how anxious he was, he could only suppress his emotions and concentrate on dealing with the matter at hand.

Several children have also made great progress.

In the army, Zhao Yuchuan finally met the legendary eldest brother of the Yan family. He followed him with shining eyes and was willing to do chores for him.

During his experience, Yan Shouzhuo had long been accustomed to being alone and was not used to the appearance of Zhao Yuchuan.

It was not until Yan Shiyan told him about Zhao Yuchuan's thoughts that Yan Shouzhuo immediately regarded everything as a test for his brother-in-law.

And Zhao Yuchuan also enjoyed it.

In order to become the first candidate for Yan Jinyin's husband after she came of age, he tried his best.

As for internal affairs, Qin Yaoguang had Yan Yuanan and Yan Shiyan as his assistants, and everything went in an orderly manner.

In the next few days, the bloody wedding became a thing of the past, and the people of Juyan City took to the streets again. Looking at the flags symbolizing Dajing on the top of the city, they felt as if they were in another world.

Some elderly Han people immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

They never thought that there would be a day when they could return to Dajing.

These people were organized by Yan Yuanan and became the best candidates to preach Da Jing's benevolent governance to other people.

The commander of Yumen Pass replied that the letter had arrived and immediately sent troops.

Accompanying him were officials from Dajing who governed the local area, and Donglin and others who had already arrived at Yumen Pass.

Conquest does not simply mean taking over land and cities by force.

How to govern next is the key to winning the hearts and minds of the people.

Yan Changqing, who had fought and operated at the northern border for many years, had extensive experience in this regard.

Before the arrival of the large army, Yan Changqing used the existing administrative system of Juyan City and replaced it with Dajing laws to govern.

The main culprit should be executed, but lower-level officials can be used according to the circumstances.

Firstly, it is to stabilize people's hearts, and secondly, there is indeed a shortage of manpower.

During the busy day, the only time the two of them could get together and talk was during meal time.

Only when the night is quiet can we confide in each other.
