Chapter 489: Reward
After settled these local officials in Cao's camp and were in Han, it seemed as if they had opened the Ren and Du meridians. All the government affairs became particularly smooth, and the various administrative orders of the military government began to be implemented in various prefectures and counties. Vacant people from all over the country were placed nearby under the comfort of the local governments.
The leader of the civil riots who had been beaten to 4 places and had no fixed place to live without the continuous infusion of refugees. One person around him died and one less. Even the backbone around him quietly left the bandits 5, disguised himself as refugees, and went to be a good citizen again. Those who died and those who fled, finally, these ambitions came to an end.
The county town did not dare to fight, and there was no man in it. They surrendered to the Pei family army and were afraid of being settled. So most of these bandit leaders fled into the mountains with their remaining troops and became the king of mountain. A few ambitious people would even climb over the mountains, come to Henan, Huguang and other places, and regain the team 5, becoming a headache for the Ming Dynasty, and contribute to the great cause of resistance to the explosion.
The west wind is strong, and the geese call the frosty morning moon in the sky. As the late autumn season approaches, the entire river has completely calmed down. Without war and bandits, the fire of the people has become prosperous.
With the encouragement of local governments, the people began to sow seeds. A while ago, they were forced to join the civil unrest, and were defeated by the Pei family army and became prisoners of the Pei family army. Among them, those who seemed honest and honest were also fed up and sent back to their hometowns. As for those who were cruel and cruel, and those who became officers in the civil unrest, they were all sent to the newly established labor reform farm so that they could get rid of their evil spirits.
At the same time, the Pei family army also opened the treasury in Chengdu and even the seized grain from the Shu Wang Mansion, and transported it to various places to stabilize the grain prices and ensure that the people in the four places can survive the severe winter smoothly. However, the side effect of this is that, except for the military rations that cannot be moved and ensure that the army supplies, all other treasuries have been found. Without food, at least in a short period of time, there will be no major wars, otherwise the people will be resentful and four rebellions will occur.
All matters gradually became formal, and Liu Xianchun was generally responsible for government affairs. Pei Xiao2 would also check it out from time to time to ensure that there would be no variables. As for military affairs, 1 and 2 were the top priority of Pei Xiao2's control, and could be called strict defense. After the civil unrest was pacified, under Pei Xiao2's order, the army from all over the country gradually won the victory and returned to the camp and gathered at the city of Chengdu.
"General, this is the list of those who have made contributions in this battle. Please check it out." After each battle, regardless of winning or losing, the first thing is to reward and punish. The reward 1 must be timely and the punishment 1 must be strictly punished. This is the true meaning of Pei Xiao2's military management.
During these days, the military civil service led by Qiao Chun was really diligent in making this list. She had a meal and had a meal. Just what Pei Xiao2 saw, it was obvious that the dark circles next to Qiao Chun's eyes were getting heavier and heavier.
Pei Xiao2 took the list and put it in his hand. He said to Qiao Chun with concern: "Feiqing, thank you for your hard work during this period."
"The general doesn't need to do this. These are all things that belong to his subordinates." Qiao Chun humbled himself slightly, and then brought the topic to the reward. "When our army was in Hanzhong, we were tired of fighting for a long time, and the soldiers were not willing to fight, and we had no intention of dying. Our army could not stop and attack, so as not to be trapped by the official army in Hanzhong.
Therefore, the general was used as an inspiration to the soldiers and rewarded the meritorious people in the army with the land of Hanzhong to inspire their fighting spirit. This plan is truly a stroke of magic.”
"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. Did you say that the soldiers in the army still want land as a reward?" Pei Xiao2 guessed what Qiao Chun meant.
"The General is wise."
Seeing Qiao Chun lowering his head, Pei Xiao2 fell into deep thought. It is not impossible to reward land, but if the land is rewarded this time, then will you also need land as a reward for the next time? With this as a pioneer, wouldn’t you have to reward land for any contribution in the future to fill the desires of the army?
If this is true, then will this army still be controlled by him? More importantly, the land required by these soldiers is probably all fertile land that can be cultivated. Given to them grasslands or deserts, it may not satisfy their appetite.
However, the land between heaven and earth is limited after all. When the world settles down one day, if Pei Xiao2 can no longer provide the land to reward the army, will these large armies dare to show their swords to him? The desires are unsatisfied.
"Feiqing, tell me what you think. Do you think I should agree or cut off their ideas?" Pei Xiao2 suddenly glanced at Qiao Chun next to Gong Li 1 and asked.
Qiao Chun knew that this matter was of great importance. If you were not careful, you might be in trouble. So he was prepared to avoid answering, and it was all up to Pei Xiao2. However, when Pei Xiao2 asked about his opinion, Qiao Chun could no longer hide it. He gritted his teeth and said, "General, I am humble to think that the land should be rewarded, but I cannot fully reward the land."
This is new. Pei Xiao2's curiosity was hung up, he changed his seat, and continued to ask: "Tell me, what does it mean to reward, but you can't give it all."
"Yes." Qiao Chun paused for a moment, organized the language, and said, "It is the reward because this is the expectation of most soldiers in the army. The soldiers stayed away from their hometowns and were unable to defend themselves. Without land, they would not be able to settle down. If the general really wanted to give the army one point and one point, they would probably be more resentful in the army, which would be detrimental to the general's prestige.
The reason why they cannot reward them all is because there are many great wars in the future. If a general soldier is fine, he can leave his armor and return to heaven after fighting a few battles. And those generals in the army who hold military power will be more difficult to deal with. These people have been in the army for a long time and have made great contributions. If they reward the fields again and again, they may be filled with their land everywhere in the world.
At that time, how can local officials be controlled and how can the country be safe? Furthermore, nowadays, the people are stable. The military government has no amount of land except the land in the Yuanshu Palace. If the land is divided, it may not be enough for the soldiers to divide it up, and the army's military farming will be abolished."
Pei Xiao2's eyes closed slightly, but he was repeatedly considering the meaning of Qiao Chun's words. Giving fields and not giving fields seems easy, but the tricks need to be considered repeatedly. If one mistake is made, it may lose people's hearts.
After a while, Pei Xiao2 suddenly said, "1 half reward of silver, 1 half reward of land, what do you think?"
Qiao Chun smiled and said, "No need, I think it's okay to give 20% of the land, 50% of the silver reward, and 30% of the promotion."
"Okay, then that's the matter." Pei Xiao21 slapped the table and said, "The officers above the general in the army are not allowed to accept the grant of land. The disposal of these people is mainly promoted. As for the soldiers at the bottom, they are mainly granted land. These people follow me to fight in the south and north, and they may be left in that place. If they die directly, it's easy to say that they will be over.
But if I am disabled, I, Pei Xiao 2, will definitely give these brothers a safe life. As for the officers below the general and the rewards, they can combine the promotion and rewards. In this way, they may block the mouths of most people in the army."
"The General is wise."
Two days later, the autumn was clear and the weather was cool, so the geese flew south. Two miles away from the north gate of Chengdu, a large number of soldiers were 3 steps and 1 post, 5 steps and 1 post, and strictly protected the surroundings and prohibited anyone from entering. Curious business travelers saw this posture, they dared to stay here for more and walked away. They were far away, but they could not touch the curiosity in their hearts.
On the high platform in the center surrounded by the army, Pei Xiao2 was standing on the platform with a heroic posture. Below the stage was tens of thousands of troops standing solemnly. On the one side of the platform, Qiao Chun read aloud with the list.
"Li Guojun led his army to enter 4 Sichuan first and seize Chengdu for the army. He should be the first to be promoted to General Zhendong; Liu Zhizu led his army to defend the northern border, repelled the Ming army's multiple attacks, wiped out the general of Lintao, and was powerful and promoted to General Zhenbei. Liu Changle promoted General Zhennan.
The king was in charge of Yunyang and was in a desperate situation. He did not allow officers and soldiers to advance and was promoted to the General of Pingbei; Pei Zhu'er was promoted to the General of Pingxi, Chen Tianming was promoted to the General of Pingnan, and Feng Kebin was promoted to the General of Pingbei.
Pei Xiao was promoted to General Andong, Zhang Bangchu was promoted to General Annan, Chen Tianming was promoted to General Anbei, Zhang Bangchu was promoted to General Andong, and Ren Mingdao was promoted to General Anxi.
