(I suddenly found out that the chapter number of the previous chapter was wrong again.,It's embarrassing.,Same as above.,The content is right.,I've been a little dizzy lately.,I'm really sorry.。 ）

When Zhang Buyi returned to Luoyang again, it was already another year of winter.

When I left, it was just after winter, and when I returned, it was winter, and a whole year was spent on the frontier.

But the ending is still very satisfying.

This year has been a full harvest for Dahan.

The successive victories have made the environment in the north better, and the construction of the Great Wall has been put on the agenda.

Before the winter of this year, the local government has also made some preparations, and it is only necessary to start work directly in the spring of next year.

With a new method of construction, Wang Buxing proposed to fill all the gaps in the Great Wall before winter.

The difficulty of the project is actually not too big, many things have been done in the Qin Dynasty, and now Wang Buxing is just tinkering.

In addition, the brick-concrete structure was already built very quickly.

As for whether there is reinforced concrete or something, there is no need at all, this year you only need to guard against nomads like the Huns, and you don't need to guard against artillery or anything.

Rammed earth can work, and brick construction can only be the best.

Luoyang.

Wang Buyu held a grand welcoming ceremony for the soldiers who returned from the expedition.

It's just that the time came to winter, and the weather was too cold to set up a banquet or anything, so one person gave out a jar of wine and a sheep, and found a place to eat a delicious meal.

On the other hand, Wang Buyu summoned all the generals who were out at the same time.

With this year's great victory in the north, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the center of gravity of the imperial court's armament is going to change places next.

And with the return of the forbidden army, many ministers in Luoyang City finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past year, they have also been worried, but the number of forbidden troops in Luoyang is too small.

One thousand is used to guard the palace, two thousand is used to guard Luoyang, and two thousand is responsible for the expansion of the surrounding area, and there is simply not enough manpower.

The ministers were worried, and the forbidden army was tired enough, except for illness, the five thousand forbidden troops left behind were all year round.

This is already the worst, even in the army, even in the front line, there is a day off every ten days, in addition to not being able to leave the barracks, you can move freely in the barracks, no training, it is also a holiday.

"The empire can succeed on all fronts this year, it is inseparable from everyone's support, I am very relieved, all the soldiers who participated in it will be promoted to the next level!" In the council hall, the personnel were neat, and Wang Bu was not hungry and directly determined this year's achievements.

There are strict requirements for the examination of military merits, not that your emperor can reward him however he wants.

There are specific departments on the side of the Ministry of War that are doing this, and the battle reports and results of the front line have already been passed back, and half a month ago, the imperial court also sent out specific rewards.

When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, it is definitely not about playing.

It is not unheard of in history that such a large-scale entry into the knighthood as Wang is not hungry.

Xiao He wanted to persuade him, but thinking about the achievements of the Northern Army this year, he still felt that he didn't need to touch this bad head.

If you don't say anything good about admonishment, you will let yourself be hated by the soldiers, and eventually cause a commotion.

However, Wang Buxing's voice changed, and then said: "Of course, there is progress, but there are also shortcomings, some people regard military merit as more important than anything else, and even do a series of unbelievable things, if it weren't for many people playing, I really can't believe that the Han would have such a brazen person!" ”

"In the future, I don't want to see this kind of thing that is not conducive to unity again!"

Everyone knew that the person Wang Buxing was talking about was Zhang Buyi, but Zhang Buyi stood behind him as if he was nothing, as if he was not talking about him.

As for the matter of eating alone, of course, the king was not hungry and dealt with.

What about the more than 30,000 cavalry soldiers, can it be done without disposing of it?

But they really don't have much military exploits, so they can't just pull the forbidden army's combat exploits over and distribute them to them, right?

The palm of the hand is meat, but the back of the hand is not meat?

In the end, the military department gave an auxiliary credit.

There is no exact standard for rewarding auxiliary merits, how much to reward and how to reward depends on what kind of combat merits you can get as the main force of the corps.

The troops who have obtained auxiliary merit will be rewarded one or two grades lower than that of the main force, depending on the role they play in this battle.

Because Zhang Buyi's corps was so numerous, the forbidden army went to sneak attack, and the cavalry went to the south to wait for the Huns.

In addition, Wang Buyu took out some cattle and sheep from the booty as a reward, and even sent someone to send some wine, which can be regarded as stabilizing those soldiers who were very angry.

For Zhang Buyi, of course Wang Buxing did not raise his hand.

Instead, he gave four words very neatly, no reward or punishment!

In fact, Wang Buyi knew what Zhang Buyi did, and he had already learned about some of Zhang Buyi's behaviors through scouts.

Even as far away as Luoyang, Wang Buxing felt embarrassed by the reason Zhang Buyi found.

There were only those three excuses for messing around, and in the end, the soldiers under him gave a new excuse with a headache.

As a general of the Praetorian Guard, Zhang Buyi really doesn't need so many military exploits to show off himself.

He only needs to manage the Praetorian Guard's one-third of an acre of land, and the opportunities for the Praetorian Guard to go out to fight are actually very rare.

That is, now that the troops are really in short supply, there is really no way, and Wang Buxing wants to use the border of the forbidden army to mobilize the fighting spirit of the people in the country, so he did it once.

And then, if nothing else, it is impossible for the forbidden army to have any more chances to go out.

After this winter, 130,000 recruits will enlist again, which means that the Han army has another 130,000 troops.

With these people, even if the offensive continues next year, the troops guarding the border will be enough.

There are some things that everyone tacitly knows, Wang Bu is not hungry and does not say anything, and he turns this matter lightly.

Xiao He, Chen Ping, Guan Ying and others didn't say much, just as if this incident hadn't happened, they guessed why Zhang Buyi did this, and they had to admit that this was a person with guts.

"Let's talk about next year's arrangements...... Wang Buxing said directly, summoning so many generals who are outside to come back, naturally it is not too long since I have seen the old people.

"Your Majesty, although there have been three large-scale battles in the north this year, and the intensity of the battles is not high, but it has taken a lot of energy, and the minister suggests that next year priority should be given to repairing the Great Wall, so that the soldiers can rest for a year, and at the same time summarize some lessons from this expedition to prepare for the next expedition!" Irrigation baby said directly.

Although the troops he led were playing soy sauce all the way, the mobile transfer of thousands of miles was also a very tiring thing.

If it is a continuous battle, Guan Ying feels that even those elite soldiers will be difficult to resist.

"Your Majesty...... Slow...... Delay two years in the fight...... "In the winter, Zhang Cang wiped the sweat on his forehead, as if as long as he saw that Wang was not hungry, the sweat on his face could not be stopped.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if it goes on like this, the household department will not be able to hold on......" Xiao He also nodded in agreement.

After the restructuring, the Han army is a gold-swallowing monster.

However, compared with the previous troops, they can be regarded as having their own advantages and disadvantages.

Now the Han army does not need to prepare grain and grass in advance when it goes to the imperial court, there are enough cattle and sheep on the border to provide meat, and there are also military grain.

But it costs money for the army to go on the march.

What is a professional army?

That is, the soldier gives up everything, enters the barracks, devotes himself to militarized training, goes all out to carry out military tasks, departs from agricultural production, and focuses on national defense.

Even if it is a military reclamation, it also carries a military word, which is also one of the tasks of the army.

So when people come to the army, it means that there is one less middle-aged labor force in the family, and the current Han army does not implement a mandatory military system, so how can we ensure that enough soldiers can be recruited?

Of course, it is to improve the treatment, the first is food and clothing, these two aspects are the responsibility of the army, and the food is better than that at home, so it will naturally attract people.

The other is to give military salaries, this is the most direct, when after joining the army, the value of the military salary is greater than that of farming at home, then the family's resistance to the loss of a labor force is not so great.

After the restructuring, the final version was that the most basic level soldiers were paid five yuan a month or 60 yuan a year, and the price of grain was now four yuan and one stone, which was equivalent to a year's military salary to buy 15 yuan of grain, which was about equal to the income from cultivating seven or eight acres of land.

The troops stationed in the border areas are paid six yuan a month, or 72 yuan a year, and can buy 18 stone of grain, which is equivalent to cultivating about nine acres of land.

The cavalry troops, with a monthly salary of seven yuan and eighty-four yuan a year, can buy twenty-one stone of grain, which is about ten and a half acres.

This is only a military salary in peacetime, and there is a war subsidy in wartime, although it is not high, but it is also a means of incentive for soldiers and soldiers.

Every ten days is a unit, and the subsidy is one yuan for ten days, and three dollars more per month.

Just like this time, Han Xin and Guan Ying went out with 100,000 troops, and it took more than four months and less than five months to go back and forth, which is fourteen calculation units according to four months and twenty days.

According to the military salary of the cavalry, it is equivalent to going out for this trip, and it will pay two months more military salary.

Now the whole Han is very poor, and the jingle of poverty, although it seems that there are not many of them that every soldier can get, but when hundreds of thousands of people gather together, it is enough to give people a headache.

Everyone understands Zhang Cang's suffering, and other funds can be postponed for the time being, but the salaries of the soldiers who are fighting abroad cannot be delayed.

Often a few days before the end of each month, Zhang Cang's side prepared the money, just waiting for the military department to report the specific list, and he quickly arranged for someone to review it overnight, and then directly allocated it.

Naturally, this money could not be sent to the front-line soldiers, but the household department distributed it to the government warehouses in various localities in advance, and after confirming it, the household department ordered that the corresponding amount of money should be directly taken out of the special funds and distributed to the families of the soldiers.

And remembering the days of Zhang Cang last year, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile, and said: "Your Majesty, let's take a break in the north for the time being, this year we are hurting the Huns, it is estimated that they will be very stable in the next two or three years, there is no need to toss anymore, otherwise Zhang Shangshu may have to toss and sell cattle......"
