"From now on, Yongzhou, Tongzhou, and Qizhou will be divided into twelve huqi mansions, and each will record 3,000 knights to create a new register and appoint them as guards. Each of the three states will control the wasteland in the interior, abandon the farmland, and set up various husbands.
Under the Cavalry Mansion, there are separate fields for the people. The nobles from all the mansions can receive land grants through meritorious deeds and meritorious deeds, and the rent and transfer will be waived forever..."
The award of general knighthood is just an appetizer, and the following orders are the bombshells.
Yongzhou, Tongzhou and Qizhou are generally the three auxiliary places in history, occupying the most prosperous and core area in Guanzhong. Twelve hussar mansions were established in these three states to serve as guards, officially replacing the original six-square forbidden army.
, this will completely change the military and defensive structure of the capital.
Regarding the reform of the Suwei and the Forbidden Army, the masses have not yet fully digested it, and the subsequent granting of land to the knights directly aroused the enthusiasm of all the soldiers present.
If they were still the original armed group dominated by Xianbei soldiers, the reaction might not be so great, but now most of the soldiers are local men from Guanzhong.
They have lived in this country for generations, but most of them have had no place to stand on since their ancestors, and they have no roof to cover their heads. Even if they are lucky enough to secretly reclaim some land, it will often change again due to various natural and man-made disasters.
Got nothing.
Owning a piece of fertile land in the fertile land of Guanzhong cannot be said to be the obsession of these Guanxi men, because the difficulty is beyond their capabilities.
They have been reduced to a tribe of rural soldiers. Even if the government organizes the expansion of households to equalize land, it will not befall them at all. Moreover, with the prosperity of farming in recent years, there are fewer and fewer idle fields in the core area of Guanzhong. Even if land equalization is carried out,
It will not be carried out within the above three states.
But now, as long as the soldiers are admitted to the three-state military mansion, they can get land grants based on their merits. This is really a dream come true for the soldiers, and some of them even raised their hands and slapped themselves twice.
Mouzizi, enduring the burning pain, pulled the robe beside him and asked if he heard correctly. Of course, most of the sergeants were not so shocked and lost their composure, they just cried with joy.
Compared to the joy of the sergeants present, the expressions of the civil and military officials who accompanied the military parade changed slightly. Especially some Shiliu whose families already had vast manors and properties were even more shocked.
Although the decree issued by the Duke of Tang states that the three states each govern unclaimed land, abandoned fields and other ownerless land, these three states are the most prosperous and prosperous areas in Guanzhong, basically occupying most of Guanzhong, and are mainly engaged in farming.
The country has developed a lot, and in recent years it has been booming year after year. Even if there are some ownerless fields, it is far from enough to satisfy tens of thousands of people.
Twelve new military mansions were established, each with a population of 3,000 knights, that is, a total of 36,000 people. Each knight was given a hectare of land, which equals 36,000 hectares, and with the subsequent meritorious achievements, there may be more
The land acquired by the honorary scholar is not just one hectare, but tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land. If you add up all the unclaimed wasteland in the three states, there may not be so much!
Of course, the actual land owned by the three states must be this much, and it is estimated that it is more than ten times more. After all, these three states are the most developed agricultural areas in Guanzhong, but the problem is that these lands are not ownerless.
In addition to the number of registered households in the various states that have been granted land each year, most of them are still in the hands of the local powerful families and civil and military dignitaries. For example, the area around Gyeonggi Province today is full of estates owned by the powerful, with few ordinary people.
arable land.
Tang Gong always used a combination of leniency and ferocity in governing the army. The leniency was due to strict military discipline and bravery in combat, while the leniency was generous treatment and generous rewards. Everyone in the court also knew this. For example, there was a similar situation in Shannan Road before.
The decree was promulgated. When the news reached Guanzhong, there was no shortage of people lamenting that Tang Gong was so lenient in governing the army. No wonder he was able to win the loyalty of the soldiers and win every battle!
Before, they were just spectators, but now that the same decree is being implemented in Guanzhong, and the original spectators have become participants, they can't help but be shocked, where does this insufficient land come from?
Everyone is not a fool, and with a little thought, they have come up with several ways to increase the number of unclaimed lands. Of course, the most convenient and quickest way to do this is to turn an owned land into an unowned land. For example, in the New Year
Mo Chenchong, the Marquis of Zhuguo who committed suicide out of fear of committing a crime, had a lot of good land and good property in his family...
On the school field during the grand parade, waves of enthusiastic cheers were heard, interrupting the thoughts of everyone present.
The first few items are just rewards for the soldiers who returned to Guanzhong safely. Li Tai also did not ignore those who died in the battle.
Although the direct battle losses in this battle were greatly reduced due to his effective rescue, twenty to thirty thousand soldiers still died in this battle. Although these soldiers are no longer here, their parents, wives, and children are still alive.
Existing in Kansai, that is a total of 20,000 to 30,000 families.
Although Li Tai is not directly responsible for the deaths of these soldiers, as the new leader of the Bafu, he cannot shirk his obligation to provide pensions and relief to the families of the fallen soldiers.
So next, he took the initiative to announce a relief plan for the families of these fallen soldiers. First, former Chinese and foreign officials would compile and check the current soldiers according to their military status, and determine a list of those who died in battle. Those whose remains still existed would be listed by their fellow citizens.
If Pao Zeyun returns to his hometown and no remains remain, the imperial court will arrange for envoys to come to the hometown to give him a message of comfort.
For the homes of fallen soldiers, the imperial court provided three relief plans.
The first is that if the family members are willing to continue to retain military registration, then the male members of the family will also be given the status of "honored knights", and they can also participate in the military selection and continue to serve and be given land.
The second type is that if you no longer want to be a military strategist, you will be naturalized as a citizen of a county or county, and give priority to land equalization arrangements, exempting you from three years of rent and transfer, and permanently exempting you from one ding.
Both of these situations are based on the fact that there are still young men in the family who can continue to serve as soldiers or farm. The third situation is that there are no adult men in the family. Only parents are in the house, or there is a wife in the household. According to various
In-kind relief is provided under certain circumstances, which basically covers aspects such as supporting the elderly, improving women's lives, and raising children.
For example, if there is a middle-aged boy in the household and the elder is unable to raise the child, the local government will arrange for the child to be sent directly to the province, and the Prime Minister's Office will be responsible for unified upbringing and education.
Prior to this, similar relief services for wounded and wounded sergeants, even if they existed, were often done by the master himself out of compassion for his domestic slaves. This kind of common relief, as a kind of government order, started from the Duke of Tang Dynasty.
.
Therefore, after the announcement of this series of pension regulations, the entire parade ground was completely silent at first. After a while, the slightly chaotic shouts of the soldiers began to sound from all directions in the school grounds: "Tang Gong Gaoyi! I am willing to serve you for my work."
Duke Tang will die!"
Of course, those who can stand on this school field are not the targets of these pension provisions, but as long as they put on military uniforms, no one can say which battle they will be killed in. So when I heard that Tang Gong was killed in battle,
When the soldiers had such thoughtful and meticulous arrangements for their funeral, they all shed tears of gratitude.
The messy bows and thanks on the campus seemed a bit chaotic, and at the same time it also showed that these soldiers were not responding in an organized manner, but were truly feeling their feelings.
When Li Tai saw this scene, he was filled with emotion. In troubled times, it would be too hypocritical to emphasize caring for human life over and over again. Even if he now has great power, he still cannot completely stop the war.
Recuperate and recuperate.
What he can do is to try to make the sacrifices of these soldiers more valuable, whether it is for the development of the entire regime and the world, or for themselves and their families.
As for these pension provisions, they themselves are not necessarily very generous. Basically, they are all things that local administration needs to face and deal with. It is just that they are gathered together for more humane treatment, which has already made the sergeants grateful.
It’s too much.
Therefore, there is no need for those high-ranking meat eaters to brag and show off how diligent and diligent they are. As long as they can do something worthy of their status, status and income, people will be grateful to them.
The civil and military officials who were watching the ceremony couldn't help but feel emotional for a moment when they saw the scene of Tang Gong and the soldiers getting along with each other.
Originally, some of them thought that Duke Tang had just come into power and should not dare to offend the public by seizing assets to support the army. But looking at the situation now, it seems that those who have such thoughts are the ones who are really in danger of offending the public.
.
Next, the grand parade came to an end, and all the armies returned to their camps. The emperor and Duke of Tang also entered the parade surrounded by ministers and began to reward and punish the generals.
The first was Li Bi of the Zhu Kingdom, who was awarded the title of Taibao for his achievements in Luoxi, Tongguan and other battles. Apart from Yu Jin, the second one was able to make a smooth transition after this turmoil and still maintain his aloof status in the court.
The pillar country.
Next, Li Pei, Gao Le, and Han Xiong were all awarded generals, and the other generals who followed Li Tai in the Heluo campaign also each received awards. For example, Li Ya was awarded the title of Hussar, opened a mansion, and was granted the title of General.
When the county officials came in to kowtow and thank him, they were so excited that they felt at a loss.
In fact, the quality of official positions such as Hussar and Kaifu today has declined greatly and is about to become more common. For example, all the legitimate sons of the Zhuguo have reached the level of Hsiaokaifu and the prefecture, and some Zhuguo have more than one.
This is the case.
Of course, at this point, Li Tai is not qualified to find fault with others. The other sons of Zhuguo have either made great achievements themselves, or are already very old. His son Li Jin has not yet fully grown his deciduous teeth, and he has already
Being assigned to this level, I have to say, these second-generation people are really annoying!
Wang Xiong, the general who died in the battle of Heyang, used his legitimate son to seize the title and add a hussar to open the mansion, and then appointed another son as the county magistrate.
After the awards were awarded, the next step was naturally the punishment. The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became dull. The generals who had accompanied the army on the expedition, including Zhu Guo Zhao Gui, Da Xiwu, etc., were all visible to the naked eye.
