There are three generals and twenty-four generals in the Daliang generals. These people are all people who followed Zhu Youde's grandfather to conquer the world. They were also the main representatives of the original military.
Among the three princes, I believe that Duke Zhao Yong is still alive. The other two princes are dead, but their titles are still there.
Zhao Bing was right. Now that the descendants of the generals are not living up to expectations, the generals are in urgent need of new blood. Fresh military generals like Zhang Ye are their best targets.
Zhao Bing smiled and said: "I know you don't want to, but you don't know what those people will do to you. Although they won't hurt you and they don't dare to offend the emperor, they can still use some means to you!"
With nothing to do, Zhang Ye also wanted to hear it, so that he could be mentally prepared and not fall into the hands of those people.
"Tell me, how will they deal with me?"
"Like giving you a gift!"
"I don't have to!"
"Is this something you can refuse if you don't want it? Houses, land, shops, many people now open factories, and they will also give you factories. The number will definitely be so large that you will be embarrassed to refuse!"
"What can they do to me if I don't want it?"
"They will send people to give you gifts every day. Believe me, you will never imagine how shameless those people are! If you don't want gifts, they will directly bring the girls at home to show you."
"Even...those elderly general ladies will live in your house directly with their dowries!"
Zhang Ye couldn't imagine that Daliang was a country that emphasized etiquette, and women would bring their dowry directly to their home!
Isn't this cheating? It's completely inconsistent with the etiquette of getting married.
"Isn't this inappropriate? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Zhao Bingyi looked at Zhang Ye strangely: "We are generals, who cares about those gifts? As long as you can become the son-in-law of the family, it is enough. Your Majesty will not care about this kind of thing, after all, it is for
It’s a good thing that you’re sending a girl away, do you think His Majesty will care about it!?”
Thinking about the emperor's style, Zhang Ye really smiled bitterly. The emperor would definitely not care about this!
He himself is just playing with girls so he can fly, okay?
Then why do you have the shame to say anything to others?
But if Jiangmen really did this, it would give him a headache: "It seems that I have to get married as soon as possible. Maybe someone in Mingzhou is willing to marry me!"
"Think too much. No one dares to marry you. The people we entered the city to kill this time are not counting the rebels. At least 50,000 locals died in our hands!"
"How come there are so many? Even if the wealthy families resist, there won't be so many. You massacre the common people?"
"Not counting the common people, they are all hooligans who take advantage of the military chaos to rob. They dare to wander on the streets. How can I let them live? There are also some common people who resist the imperial court, so there is no need to keep them. I will kill them all directly.
!”
Since this was the case, Zhang Ye didn't care. He could explain the situation later in the memorial to the emperor.
He will no longer lead the army forward, and plans to delegate all matters regarding war!
Zhao Binghui will continue to lead the sweep of the counties around Mingzhou, and the infantry will be 150,000, of which 50,000 will be mobilized from the west to support Lin Man!
The rebellion in the southeast is now concentrated in Taizhou and Wenzhou, leaving enough 100,000 infantrymen!
Taizhou and Wenzhou used to be East Vietnam. To suppress the rebellions in these two places, we must pay more attention to the movements of East Vietnam.
So it was very sensitive, and Zhang Ye also needed to take a rest before fighting all the way to the East Vietnam border in one go.
No matter how serious the war is, it is just a civil war. Attacking East Vietnam is a war of national annihilation. Daliang's opponents are likely to be the two countries of Southern Tang and East Vietnam.
…………………………
The effect of killing more than a hundred local officials and wealthy landlords was so frightening that people in Mingzhou Prefecture were so frightened that they stayed at home and did not dare to go out.
It took three days for the army to complete the inventory of Mingzhou's treasury and seize the property of all families involved in the rebellion.
In the past three days, the army killed hundreds more people. They were all people who secretly ran away from home. As long as they met the army, they would be dead.
On the fourth day, the people of Mingzhou City finally found someone knocking on their door!
Under the leadership of the chief, groups of soldiers entered their homes to conduct population checks. Anyone unknown to the chief was taken away, and only those who could tell their origins would be fine.
When the soldiers were searching the people's homes, they saw some financial assets that obviously did not belong to the people. They pretended not to have seen it. When they left, they would issue a new Mingzhou household registration certificate to the people.
When we encounter people who have no food at home and dare not go out on the streets, they will send food to them, but they are not allowed to go out for the time being.
But as long as there is food, people are willing to stay at home and are not curious about what is going on outside.
People at home could hear gunshots every day, and the only person who could walk around outside became a channel for people to get news from the outside world.
After asking the village chief, I found out that the imperial court was killing people, and they were killing local bad guys who had done many evil things.
Ruffians, thugs, and anyone with a bad reputation in the local area were all captured and killed.
This news reassured the people that the imperial army was not here to kill them.
Every day when ordinary people looked out through the cracks in their doors, they could see some familiar faces being grabbed by soldiers.
The arrested man complained in vain. The soldiers who captured him never spoke.
When they got to the street corner, they shot him.
The common people have very mixed feelings towards the army, ranging from feeling terrified to feeling that the court is too cruel.
Some of those who were killed were actually not that bad, and the court actually killed them directly.
But if you think about yourself being honest all your life, the people will feel at ease. The imperial army will definitely not bully you.
A few days later, someone knocked on the door.
He opened the door carefully and looked at the soldiers outside.
"Is the house still short of food?"
It turned out that they were here to deliver food... but the food delivered last time was not finished yet.
"It's missing, or will it be given away like last time?"
"right!"
"Then I want it!"
A bag of rice was placed at the door, and the soldier flipped through the book in his hand.
"Liu Da, there are four people in the family. I will give you a piece of cloth, a bag of salt, a pound of rapeseed oil, and a piece of meat!"
"And meat? Why are you so good to us?"
"Your Majesty gave it to you, do you know about Lidong? It's a festival."
"In a few days, everyone will be able to come out."
"Yes, yes, thank you Your Majesty!"
"Master Jun, please ask me one more question: What is the court doing?"
"Dividing fields for the people!"
"Hiss..." Liu Da's eyes widened and he looked extremely excited. What did he say?
Divide the fields!
He was actually dividing the land. He was also a farmer, the kind of farmhand who had no land of his own and could only farm for others.
"Master Jun, does the little guy have a share in dividing the fields? Where does Master Jun divide the fields?"
The soldier looked at Liu Da: "You have no status, you are from the city. Your Majesty has ordered that all the serfs of the wealthy families should be restored to their civil status, and only those outside the city are eligible to be allocated fields. The ID card I gave you before said,
