Chapter 57: The Decision of the Imperial Court, Get a New Mod
The expression on Li Shimin's face gradually froze, and this was the first time that someone had listed the names, origins, and merits of the fallen soldiers in front of him one by one.
In the letter, in addition to the merits of the fallen soldiers, even marked the rewards due for the corresponding merits, and also gave a thoughtful number of bereavement pensions for reference.
This list of dozens of pages stunned Li Shimin, making his whole expression freeze.
"Wang De, circulate these to the ministers."
Li Shimin took out Li Yan's part of the spring battle plan, and only separated the last part of the content of asking for merit for the fallen soldiers and handed it to Wang De.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang De respectfully took the pile of letter paper and handed it over to the hundred officials for circulation.
A few minutes later, Hou Junji, who was the first to see the content, was silent, he knew that Li Yan had indeed done this.
He has long known that Li Yan has a similar personality to protect his shortcomings, and when he first assigned cotton clothes, Li Yan has been giving priority to the soldiers under his command.
Now, Li Yan has passed this behavior to the court through the war report.
After another ten minutes, the entire military general's camp was silent.
They are all generals, they have all led soldiers, and naturally they know how difficult it is to count the merits of the dead.
Moreover, like Cheng Biting Jin, no one dares to guarantee that they have not participated in the division of these unclaimed credits.
"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the proposal of Li Yan, the defender of Fengzhou."
Hou Junji spoke first and strongly supported Li Yan.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"So is the minister!"
Following Hou Junji, all the generals who are still in the court now, no one will object to Li Yan's proposal, which is the credit of the soldiers in exchange for their lives.
All of them knew that if anyone dared to oppose it in the court today, they would be hostile to all the soldiers in the world.
If the opponent is a general, he will lose all prestige in the army.
If the opponent is a civil servant, then he will lose all the prestige of the people, and he will even be poked in the backbone by a large number of literati in the world.
When Li Yan's letter was delivered to the court, the opinions of the entire court were unified.
Everyone unanimously agreed to replace the corresponding merit with a bereavement pension and distribute it to the families of the fallen soldiers.
"Since this is the case, then I have decided to agree to the proposal of Li Yan of Toyozhou, and the payment of the pension will be liquidated by the household department."
"In addition, from now on, for the generals, it is important to remember that all the soldiers who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty must settle their merits, and if the credit is unclaimed, it will be distributed to all the victims......"
Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and made an order, and at the same time set new rules.
The unclaimed credit is shared among the fallen soldiers, and the conversion ratio of credit and pension directly adopts the template proposed by Li Yan.
After the promulgation of the holy decree was completed, Li Shimin smiled slightly.
His smile was because Li Yan valued love and righteousness and was good enough, and secondly, because the holy decree he had just promulgated was enough for him to sweep away a wave of popular prestige again.
All in all, in one sentence, Li Shimin feels that he has made this wave of blood!
"In addition, Li Yan of Fengzhou, once again offer a plan, I have decided to stay until the spring and wave my troops to the northern expedition to the grassland!"
"Order Li Yan to temporarily hang the marshal of the Northern Expedition, command the soldiers and horses of Fengzhou, Ganzhou, Quanzhou, and Shazhou, and also dispatch 5,000 soldiers and horses from Longyou Road and Guannei Road, and start a war with the Turks in the spring!"
"If Li Yan can sweep Monan, he will be named Dingbei Bo after triumph, and he will eat 700 households, if he can directly hit the king of Mobei and capture the Turkic Jieli Khan, he will be named Dingbei Marquis after triumph, and he will be named the Marquis of Dingbei after triumph, and he will eat 1,000 households!"
"If the Northern Expedition fails, it will offset this battle merit and demerits, and there will be no punishment or reward!"
Li Shimin suddenly issued a holy decree again, and as soon as this holy decree was issued, the hundred officials present were instantly stunned.
Li Yan has a plan again? He's going to go north to the steppe? Is this grassland so easy to fight?
Although Li Shimin gave a rich reward, the risks were too great, and almost no one thought that Li Yan would succeed.
"Your Majesty, this is a great move!"
The eldest grandson Wuji spoke first, he didn't want Chang'an to have more marquis in the future, so he naturally supported Li Shimin's decision.
"Your Majesty, this ......"
Hou Junji is different from the eldest grandson Wuji, he frowned, it stands to reason that Li Yan's credit this time is very reluctant, but it is more than enough to seal a county uncle.
Now because of the proposal of the Northern Expedition, he has to face such a big risk, and Hou Junji feels very unworthy for Li Yan.
"I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say more."
No one can guess Li Shimin's thoughts, and his real idea is always to pave the way for Li Yan.
In Li Shimin's thinking, as long as Li Yan can make great contributions in one fell swoop as stated in the letter, then he can just give Li Yan the title of marquis and directly let Li Yan come to Chang'an.
On the contrary, if the Northern Expedition fails this time, it doesn't matter, anyway, sooner or later the Northern Expedition will have to be made, just try it once, Li Yan will only miss an opportunity at most.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, a group of veteran aristocrats led by the eldest grandson Wuji began to compliment.
In the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, one more marquis in Chang'an means that they have to share part of their interests, and they don't want Li Yan to be a marquis.
According to the current situation, it may be possible for Li Yan to sweep Mo Nan, but it is not very realistic to directly attack Mo Bei and take down Jieli Khan in one fell swoop.
At that time, Li Yan can only seal one founding county at most.
It's just an earl, and he can't take too many interests at all.
In this way, the court meeting ended, and a group of soldiers from Fengzhou were temporarily arranged in Chang'an News.
After a few days, they will escort the eunuchs back to Toyosu together.
……
At this moment, in the city of Toyosu.
Li Yan, who concluded that the Turks could no longer stumble in winter, began to retreat with peace of mind, and these days Fengzhou has basically completely entered a state of winter.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and people are getting more and more homely.
Even those businessmen who do business under the heavy snow every day have stopped, and Wang Yu, who is busy in the commercial building all day long, has also started to be leisurely.
On this day, Li Yan was silent in "My World" and mining as usual.
Now he needs enough "gold grains" to synthesize "golden carrots" to train qualified war horses for himself.
And at the same time of mining, Li Yan also insisted on using the monster farm tower to brush experience, and after so many days of accumulation, Li Yan finally heard the new upgrade prompt after a long absence.
"Congratulations on the upgrade"
“Lv8:3/8000”
"Unlocking Lv8 Rewards"
"Congratulations on getting ......"
Looking at the prompt window in front of him, Li Yan was overjoyed.
Finally waited, he finally waited for the brand new mod!
Li Yan didn't even have time to read the name of the mod clearly, so he couldn't wait to choose to load.
Knowing that the loading was completed, Li Yan noticed the name of the mod.
This mod turned out to be ......
