"After talking about government affairs, it's time for military affairs!"

Hearing Yang Tong's words, the civil and military ministers woke up from the shock of government reform and listened carefully one by one!

"Hebei Province has indeed been pacified, but there are still many rebellions in the world, and we have not yet put swords and guns into storage and horses in Nanshan, so we can't be careless in terms of armaments."

"Your Highness said very well, as the old saying goes, 'Although the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish; Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous'! This must not be taken lightly. The first to express his stance was Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius.

Yang Tong smiled and nodded: "In order to be able to pull out an army at any time!" In order for the people to have the ability to protect themselves from changes and accidents, I decided to set up militia groups in various counties. Without waiting for everyone to ask, Yang Tong explained: "The militia is similar to the government soldiers, when the farm is slack, one ding is drawn from each household for centralized training, and it is also temporarily organized according to ten people-fire, fifty-people-team, hundred-person-brigade, three hundred people and one school, and one thousand people and one regiment!" The difference is that they are still civilians and not soldiers, the military department does not put on the record, and the officers are not full-time, and the competent people are selected from the militia to serve, while the weapons are recorded in the military department, and every five villages have a weapon room, which is kept by a special person, and people will be sent to inspect it every year. ”

"You can call it a militia, you can call it a reserve. And their mission is to assist the local officials to keep one side safe, capture enemy spies and so on when the army goes out! Once the army is seriously attritional, it can be drawn to replenish. This militia is formed by the county and the county! Retired disabled veterans are responsible for the training. ”

There is no opinion from the public, although it is a training without compensation, but I believe that the people will actively participate in the training! Because everyone understands that when the enemy attacks, you can't rely entirely on the army, but more on your own to defend your homeland. In the previous war-torn period, there was such a spontaneous militia organization in Hebei Province, and the corps formed by Su Lie's father and son was one of the representatives.

"Jijun is the southern gate of my Hebei Province, and there is Liyangcang, which has a very important status," Yang Tong looked at the mighty and majestic Wang Bian, and said with a smile: "General Wang Bian, I appoint you as the commander of Jijun." After you and General Pei take office, you must not only mobilize the militia group, but also form and train elite soldiers, and be sure to hold this important place. ”

"Your Highness Xie trusts. The minister must hold the county of Ji. "Jijun Taishou Pei Renji and Wang Wei generously responded to the order.

"Gao Yaxian is both humanistic and military, and you can't give full play to your military talent in Xindu, and Douzigang in Bohai has always been a place where Liukou haunt, so I decided to let you transfer to Bohai and go south and north with General Jia Wuben to prevent the resurgence of Liukou. After you take office, raise 10,000 elite soldiers, and organize the victims to focus on the development of Douzigang, and develop it into fields, so that it will no longer become a breeding ground and hiding place for rogues. ”

"Whoa!" Gao Yaxian responded to the order.

After the arrangements were made, Yang Tong said solemnly: "The army is the blade and shield of a country, if there is no strong team, no matter how rich a country is, it is a big fat sheep in the eyes of others!" But all dynasties have done a very bad job in the placement of soldiers! ”

"First of all, the families of military personnel are not in place and cannot be effectively protected; The most typical example is the soldiers under the command of General Zhang Xutuo, because they are brave and good at fighting, which leads to the hatred of the rogues, they are helpless to the soldiers, so they attack the families of the soldiers! This is how Shixin's family was slaughtered, and in addition to him, so were many other soldiers. ”

"That's right!" Luo Shixin's eyes were red when he thought of his innocent and tragic relatives.

"We have learned this lesson, and we must not make mistakes again and again, so I decided to place the families of the soldiers in Hejian County. Lord Wang, you must choose the best place and the best fertile land to distribute to the military families, preferably in a county, where everyone is a military family and have a common language, and it is also convenient for the soldiers to send letters to the families of their colleagues. ”

"Obedience! This matter must be dealt with as a matter of gravity. Wang Cong solemnly responded.

"Secondly, there is the resettlement of disabled soldiers. Generally speaking, all dynasties and dynasties have pensions, but when the pensions are used up, the disabled soldiers who have lost their hands and feet still have to live...... Heroes, it shouldn't end so miserably, we have to be responsible for their old age. Speaking of this, Yang Tong shook his fist heavily.

The generals' breathing suddenly became short.

"After the disabled soldiers returned to their hometowns, they became village heads, deputy village heads, as well as guard cooks of the Yixue School, militia coaches, and government officials, even if they watched the gate, at least, they had an income. Each quarter, the local government subsidizes one load of grain. If the county or county is deductible, or shoddy, you can report it to the local department, or you can go directly to Zhuo County to tell us about your grievances. ”

"Third, show respect for the sacrificed soldiers!" Yang Qi said in a heavy tone: "In the future, each soldier will be equipped with a leather bag, and after the remains of the sacrificed soldiers are cremated on the spot, they will be packed with ashes in this bag and taken to Zhuo County for unified burial." ”

"This ......"

Everyone is a little embarrassed, the ancient people died greatly, went into the earth for peace, and cremated the corpse, a little too inhumane, right?

Yang Tong said: "In the eighteenth year of the emperor's opening, Goguryeo invaded Liaoxi, which directly brought uneasiness and harm to the Sui border, the first emperor took Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Wang Shiji as the marshal of the march, and led 300,000 land and water to attack Goguryeo. The war launched by the emperor's grandfather killed countless soldiers. ”

"Our heroes sacrificed for the dignity of the country, died on the way to conquer for the glory of the nation, but we did nothing, in the future, where will our children and grandchildren go to worship their grandfathers and fathers? How do our descendants know that their ancestors paid so much for this country? ”

Yang Tong's words hit the hearts of the people present like a hammer, yes, no one thought about this. The living are still alive and can enjoy a good life, but what about the soldiers who have died?

In a few decades, hundreds of years, who will remember them? Who else will be able to remember everything they have done for their country?

"But corpses can't be carried! In case of hot weather, it can also cause epidemics, so the only way is to cremate them and have their brothers take them back to their roots! Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I want to choose a piece of feng shui treasure land to establish the Great Sui Martyrs Cemetery, and all the soldiers who sacrificed in the future will be buried here for future generations to worship and for generations to see." ”

In an instant, the blood in the chests of the generals boiled, and they hoped to tell all their comrades the good news immediately.

Yang Gongren was the first to say: "Your Highness, when you arrive in Zhuo County, I will ask someone to choose a site and put the Great Sui Martyrs Cemetery as a top priority." ”

"Remember." Yang Tong said: "In the future, under my rule, the place with the most beautiful scenery and the best feng shui must be the Great Sui Martyrs Cemetery; The best conditions must be military family education. ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone responded suddenly, looking at Yang Dong with deep respect and gratitude.
