Chapter 724: Ban on 'Martial Arts' Order
On the bank of the Yellow River, the moon and stars are scarce, the waves are sparkling, the cool night breeze is light, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, and the footsteps and horse whistling faintly come from the distance, and the whole world exudes a faint bleak murderous atmosphere. Bands of smuggling soldiers patrolled the area, their piercing gazes sweeping over any suspicious spots.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Tong summoned Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Wei Zheng, Ling Jing, and Du Ruhui to discuss the matter. In addition, Liu Renliang, who served as a civilian in the Xuanjia Army, had also been promoted by Yang Tong to join the army, and he was also called in to participate in the deliberations of major events. Such a talented general, of course Yang Tong doesn't want him to work behind closed doors, and now even if he is an auditor, it is a rare opportunity for growth.
"The Sui and Tang dynasties started in a similar way, they were all based on the Guanlong aristocracy, and the three-province multi-ministry system implemented by Emperor Wen was the culmination of the previous dynasty, while the pseudo-Tang Dynasty copied the system of the Great Sui, even if it was improved, but it was not far behind, and at present, Li Yuan was approaching the governance program of the imperial court step by step. The puppet Tang Dynasty is now dying and struggling, not far from death, and the land of Guanzhong has long fallen into my hands, but the control of the imperial court does not seem to be strong. This led to this western tour, the purpose of which was to appease the people of Guanzhong and Liangzhou. Yang Tong stared at the light in front of him and said lightly: "Since ancient times, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the country. I am not afraid of war, but I have some confidence in governing the world, and I don't know if the policies I have implemented will make the world stable. ”
Yang Tong's approach touched not only the interests of the big families, but also the interests of the small and medium-sized families were also impacted because the fields were all redistributed. But if this fence is not broken, this strange historical phenomenon of concentration and distribution will continue to be staged. It's just that those who are accustomed to living a rich life suddenly go to live the life of ordinary people, who wants?
And everyone listened to Yang Tong's words, almost choked to death without saliva, since ancient times, the change of dynasty has relied on the family, to put it bluntly, it is just a change of skin, and no dynasty has really carried out thorough reforms. But Yang Tong completely relied on the lowest level of people to start, which is different from all dynasties, the policies he implemented, benefited more than ninety percent of the people, not changed an interest group to power, the dominance of the world, even if the Qin Emperor ruled the military, Guangwu Sui Wen is far inferior to Yang Tong, not to mention the degree of support of the people, but he himself is not confident. No wonder he was so ruthless when dealing with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he raided his family and exterminated his clan at every turn.
"Uh," Du Ruhui was flexible, and quickly reacted, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied cautiously: "As the saint said, the Sui and Tang dynasties have similar systems, and my Great Sui Dynasty has defeated the pseudo-Tang Dynasty with a dignified and upright momentum. As long as the pseudo-Tang, Meng Haigong, and Feng Ang are destroyed, everything in the world will be redistributed by our dynasty's implementation of interests, and the policy will be reached, and the people will enjoy the delicious taste of the unification of the world, and the support for the saint and the Great Sui Dynasty will also reach an unprecedented height, and because of the existence of the system of the people supervising officials and supervising the localities, those who dare not obey will be overwhelmed by the people without the appearance of the saint. Wei Chen dared to ask, could it be that the Holy Lord was dissatisfied with the current situation of my Great Sui? Think there are some areas that need to be changed? ”
"If I knew that there were some things to change, I would have started to rectify them, but the problem is that I don't know what to change." Yang Tong shook his head: "But I feel that I haven't done well and not enough." It's the hazy feeling that seems to understand but doesn't understand. ”
The crowd was speechless.
You don't seem to understand it yourself, and you can't say why, how can others know?
Wei Zheng muttered: "What can make the saint troublesome is nothing more than the army, the rule of officials, the law, officials, the people's livelihood, the land, taxes, forced labor, household registration and so on. If the saint feels that it is insufficient, he can take the whole system to the three university palaces, so that the students can catch mistakes and find loopholes, and also let the county officials exert their wisdom and give advice to the imperial court. With the collective wisdom and collective efforts, all kinds of problems have been solved, and then the old problems are singled out, and the law is used to restrain them, and the system will definitely be improved step by step. ”
"This is a good way, which can allow the county orders to find all kinds of difficulties and solutions from the mouths of local people." After Yang Tong finished speaking, he asked again: "We have developed too fast in the past two years, and these newly recovered places are all copying the system of the imperial court, but the places are different, and the situations that occur are also different. ”
"When the last general was in Qingzhou, he encountered a comparative problem from time to time." At this time, Pei Xingyan said.
"Tell me about it." Yang Tong's spirits lifted.
"Holy." Pei Xingyan arched his hand and said: "Qingzhou has been in chaos since the middle of the great cause, and it is the place where the chaos in the world has been the longest and most powerful; Although there are no big families, big gates, but in order to deal with all kinds of bandits, the people live together in a clan way, each clan has a patriarch, clan elders, elders and other figures, this person speaks, the whole clan obeys, they are familiar with the terrain, and there are some nimble minds, so they can defeat some less powerful bandits. After so many years of huddling together for warmth, they are very united. Except for the short inheritance time, lack of knowledge, and inferior wealth, it is almost the same as a big family. And these people have been baptized by the fire of war, and they are very strong; Between clans and clans, between upstream and downstream, in order to compete for irrigation water, gangs and factions fight at every turn, and people are hacked to death at every turn. Because the local officials had no soldiers, they could not persuade or punish these people, so they turned to the general from time to time. But the saint may not know that the young and strong people of those clans are either deserters of various forces, or have defeated some small forces, so their equipment is really not bad, and when they fight, they do not use wooden sticks, but sharp horizontal knives and powerful bows and crossbows. ”
Pei Xingyan's words, as if he had been empowered, made everyone understand in an instant, although there is no big family and a big gate, but the clan still causes local unrest.
"How did you solve it?" Yang Tong asked with interest.
"The last general will send troops to suppress and arrest people, confiscate weapons, and then let the local officials determine right and wrong." Pei Xingyan said: "Anything else is good, they are also willing to confess, but on the issue of confiscating weapons and armor, their resistance is extremely fierce, the reason is that there is no such system, and it would be easy to handle this matter if there was a system." ”
Yang Tong suddenly woke up.
The reason why the powerful family is feared by him is because they not only occupy ninety percent of their wealth and resources, monopolize the learning conditions and officials, but also have a large armed force. During the period from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, Haoqiang and the 'township soldiers' in his hands rewrote the pattern of the world again and again. They relied on the strength and strong wealth of their families to recruit the common people to form their own private soldiers. In peacetime, intimidate others, protect the clan, and gather in Wubao to prepare for the situation.
The existence of the powerful family has always been a major problem for the imperial court and an unstable variable. The Eastern and Western Wei dynasties, as well as the Zhou Qi and Southern Dynasties, tried their best to cut off their power.
Compared with other dynasties, Yuwentai has done a clean and clever job. He incorporated Guan Long Haoqiang into the military system, gave them official positions, and used them as a banner to recruit local young men with weapons to enlist in the army to strengthen their own strength and serve as a barrier for the Zhou State. This is the first step. The second step is to deprive the 'notorious' officials of their strong background the right to command the army. To put it simply, it was the loyalty of Haoqiang to the center with his official position, allowing them to play a role in the war against the Qi State, and at the same time co-opting and suppressing a group by punishing the evil and promoting the good, thus strengthening the imperial court's control over the locality.
The local families left their own territory to fight, and all the money and grain had to be paid, and then distributed uniformly. That is to say, the salaries and rations of these townsmen are in the hands of the imperial court, and the army in the hands of the townsmen step by step is slowly transitioning to the hands of the imperial court.
After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, in order to prevent the Guanlong nobles from pulling out well-equipped troops from the people, it was strictly forbidden for bows and crossbows to circulate among the people, which limited the excessive expansion of the Guanlong nobles. After so many years of war, a large number of weapons and equipment have been transferred to the people. Nowadays, although there is no big family, but each clan has a clan elder, if this kind of person ascends to the top and shouts, the whole clan will obey, they themselves have a lot of weapons and equipment, which makes it difficult for local officials to control, if the interests are not satisfied, I am afraid that they will immediately kill the officials and rebel, if there are one or two geniuses with military level, the disaster will soon sweep the county.
At this time, Wei Zheng arched his hand and said: "Shengshang, as General Pei said, after so many years of war, bows, crossbows, horizontal swords, armor and other ordnance have spread among the people; If it is not strictly prohibited, the place will be restless, and it will be difficult for officials to stop the fighting between clans. ”
"The existence of weapons and equipment can easily make ordinary fights among the people rise to the point of murder and bloodshed, and then cause mass murder between clans and clans, which has seriously affected the peace of the locality, and is not a good thing for the court, the locality, and the people." After unraveling the fog, Yang Tong's heart was like a cloud, "Draw up a ban on 'martial arts' regulations, send it back to Luoyang, and after it is perfected, it will be promulgated in the world." ”
"Whoa."
