Chapter Twenty-Three: Will! Lunchang?
In the early dynasty of every third day, Emperor Yanren made a will.
This decree is aimed at the establishment of the Feng Guard:
First, a month later, the Feng Guards recruited new recruits, who were women, between the ages of 10 and 12, and recruited 30,000 people as the official establishment; In addition, 20,000 girls between the ages of 8 and 10 were recruited as reserve service.
Second, the Feng Weijun military service age is 20 years old, and after retirement, when they return to the place of household registration, they can get eight acres of medium-sized good land free of charge, and the land under their name can be tax-exempt for ten years, and they can also become a female household on their own.
Third, the official establishment of the Feng Guard Army is 20 taels per person per year, and the annual military salary per person is 12 taels for the reserves.
Fourth, the Fengwei Army can make meritorious contributions like other armies, and be awarded official titles according to merit, and those who are officials with more than five grades can go to the court to discuss matters, and those who are knighted can descend in three generations except for hereditary replacements. The successor to the title must be the biological flesh and blood of the recipient, the male heir must enter other armies for five years, and the female heir must enter the Fengwei Army for five years of service, if there is no heir, the court will revoke the title.
Fifth, the Fengwei Army is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and the commander of the Fengwei Army is served by a capable person in the army.
This decree of Emperor Yan Ren simply caused a monstrous wave!
The Manchu civil and military forces were in an uproar! No one thought of this kind of will to lift up the Feng Guards with all their might.
The courtiers thought it was ridiculous, it was ridiculous!
What are women born for? Of course, when you are old, you should marry obediently, wait for your husband in your in-law's house, be filial to your parents-in-law, treat your aunt well, manage your family well, and don't let your husband worry about the backyard, so that men will have the energy to deal with the ups and downs outside.
Otherwise, how can you live a good life of wealth and glory?
Giving birth to children, husband and children is a woman's job!
What kind of person who joined the army, made military merits, and was awarded an official marquis, it is simply a joke!
This is an era led by scholars, except for the common people who have no money to spare and three wives and four concubines, there is no man who does not like red sleeves and fragrant, soft meat and warm fragrance. If Emperor Yan Ren was raising other armies, they wouldn't have such a big reaction, but this Feng Wei Army is a women's army!
Women can be knighted, knighted, and can go to the court to discuss court affairs like them, which is simply challenging the natural status of men!
This is contrary to the Three Principles and Five Constants, and this is not in accordance with the words of the saints.
Many defenders are not used to it, especially Empress Taizu, who established the Feng Guard. At that time, it was not that no one publicly reprimanded Empress Taizu, thinking that she violated her husband's outline and was disrespectful, and the education of Empress Taizu's mother's family was a very failure, and he also thought that Emperor Taizu was wise and martial all his life, but the only black spot was Empress Taizu.
As the in-laws of Empress Taizu, Emperor Taishang and Empress Taishang are very generous people, and they also play the Li family's short-term temperament beyond the ordinary, the Li family is very protective of their relatives who are recognized by themselves, and Empress Taizu is their favored daughter-in-law, so those who wanted to use filial piety to pressure through Emperor Taishang and Empress Taishang all returned home.
And Emperor Taizu needless to say, he loves his wife like his life, he can't listen to anyone slandering his wife at all, anyone who disrespects Empress Taizu in the court, he will be kicked out of the court for various reasons later, anyway, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the merits can't be shared, and I'm afraid that no one will do their best for the court?
Unlike being worshipped by women, many men thought that Empress Taizu and Lady Zhenguo were outliers, and they felt that the establishment of the Fengwei Army was a mistake, and today proves how big this mistake really is.
If women can do as much as men, how can they still be revered and loved by their wives? How can you maintain the face of the head of the family in front of them?
Think about it again, if your wife's official position is the same as or higher than you, what kind of face will she have! Even a woman can't compare, and when others mention it, they will just look down on and ridicule.
So we must put an end to this possibility.
In addition to defending the position of men, it is because their interests are harmed.
A cake is so big, a few people can't share it, I can't wait to eat it alone, and now I have joined a group of people to grab the cake, how can I bear it!
Who is the Feng Weijun in now? - In the hands of the eldest princess.
Who did the eldest princess marry to? -- Zhao Qian, Duke of Dingguo.
If this will be carried out, who will benefit the most? There is no doubt that it is the Zhao family. And what about the relatives and friends of the Zhao family? It's also indispensable.
The people who don't deal with the Zhao family start to attack first, and the enemy's strength increases, that is, our strength decreases, so they will definitely not let this holy decree be carried out.
And except for the eldest princess and the crown prince Li Chen, only Gonggong Qi, the person who issued the holy decree, knew about this holy decree in advance, and the others really didn't know.
Emperor Yanren put such a big move, and even Zhao Yuan, the prince of the Hubu Shangshu Dingguo, who had not been reminded by his mother, was very surprised when he heard this holy decree.
The current representatives of the Zhao family don't know, let alone the others, but the courtiers who have an in-law relationship with the Zhao family and a good relationship with the family are all silent, their own allies must not dismantle the allies' platform, they have to go back to the house to discuss with the masters what impact this holy decree has on themselves, maybe they can get benefits from it.
And what about the generals? Many military generals still came out under the command of Dingguo Gong back then, not to mention that according to Emperor Yanren's will, in fact, the most advantageous thing is the military general, who let their daughters not afford to play the wind and snow but have the fierce style of the military generals? This decree is good for them and harmless. The generals also shut their mouths and watched the excitement with peace of mind.
But this is not the case with the civil service. Not to mention the people who don't deal with the Zhao family, let's start with those rigid and stubborn civil officials who think that this will is against the Three Principles and Five Constants, and if they really do this, the world will definitely be in chaos.
They immediately went out to state to Emperor Yan Ren the disadvantages of this will.
As a result, Emperor Yanren was very ruthless and didn't give them a chance at all, so he announced his retreat from the dynasty and went to the Taihe Hall without looking back.
The Great Yan Dynasty implemented a three-day and early dynasty, so after this morning dynasty, Emperor Yanren would not be seen for two days after the Ming Dynasty, except for the cabinet that assisted the emperor in handling government affairs. So in the past two days, Emperor Yanren received a song as high as a mountain, all of which persuaded him to take back his fate.
Even the words of sorry for the ancestors and ancestors came out, Emperor Yan Ren listened to the recital of the crown prince Li Chennian, and smiled sarcastically, I am afraid that these people who have played the folds have selectively forgotten that his own grandmother is the one who founded the Fengwei Army with his own hands, and he does this, maybe he will be appreciated by his grandfather when he goes down to the underworld.
But there are still more people who will stand on the commanding heights of morality to accuse Emperor Yanren, even if their ultimate goal is for profit, it does not prevent them from standing on the moral high ground to fight for their own favorable conditions.
There are many twists and turns that don't mention Feng Weijun's practice of being knighted like this, they just write in a very worried tone that if all the women go to join the army, what will happen to the country's population growth?
The country cannot afford to miss the birth of a new generation. In case of a population recession, this is a Great Swallow sinner. Moreover, there will be many, many singles who can't marry wives in Dayan, and if there are too many singles, there will be more people looking for trouble, and social security will be bad, which will be bad for the country and the people.
There is also a memora that women can only retire at twenty, which will cause them to miss their flowering period, not to mention a woman who has joined the army, which man dares to marry? The fact of the woman's marriage is useless, and I hope that the saint will never think twice.
