1524.War of the Three Emperors (2)
Qi State, Yanjing, Yan Palace.
Qi Fei received an edict from Qi Xiaobai, asking him to command the army to go to Wei and fully cooperate with Zou Ji to attack Qin.
Qi Fei looked at the edict in his hand, frowned and said, "Now that our Yandi is in the development stage, how can we participate in this war!" ”
In the court of this Yan Palace, everyone was very shocked, and they didn't expect to go to war.
At this time, the courtiers of the Yan Palace were no longer the courtiers of the Qi Jie era, the so-called one son of heaven and one courtier, after Qi Fei took the throne, the courtiers under Qi Jie were cleaned up.
Of course, Guan Zhong once stopped Qi Fei, because the courtiers under Qi Jie were all very powerful people, and it was also because of this group of people that Yandi was thriving.
But Qi Jie felt that Yan Di was rotten to the bones, which mainly came from the fact that Qi Jie's courtiers were all militant.
In the third month of Qi Fei's reign, he wrote to Qi Xiaobai and announced Qi Jiu's ten crimes, which shocked the government and the opposition, but was denied by Qi Xiaobai in one sentence.
And Qi Fei's practice is directly past Guan Zhong's book, because Guan Zhong also does not approve of Qi Fei's practice, but Qi Feijue's person has committed a crime, so he should be edicted to the world as a warning.
Even if this person dies, it must be edicted to the world, so that others will forbid his footsteps, and let people know the price of making mistakes.
Of course, after Qi Fei wrote the book, the ministers of the court and the central government were shocked, and even more supporters of Qi Fei felt that Qi Jiu should be dismissed from all his exploits.
Of course, although the last incident shocked the government and the opposition, it was not resolved in the end.
Guan Zhong also sighed at Qi Fei's ability, and he felt that Qi Fei had already crossed the path of his guidance.
Of course, among Qi Fei's ten crimes, a series of Qi Fei's subordinates were also implicated, and Qi Fei had one of the biggest crimes, that is, eating empty wages, ruling the people of Yandi by terrorist means, and robbing the grassland barbarians by force.
The so-called empty salary, Qi Xiaobai knows, this is indeed a bad thing, but it is excusable in Yandi, because Qi Jie has to raise 3,000 guests, and these 3,000 guests also have a certain role for Qi Jie and of course for Qi State.
Secondly, those barbarian soldiers in Qi Correction, they are because of their money, and it is difficult for Qi to meet their normal military salary, so at this time, Qi Jie needs to use the empty salary, and then collect some money, and then give it to those barbarian soldiers.
As for the terror to dominate the people of Yandi, that is, to exploit the nobles of Yandi and make them live in poverty, but the nobles live in poverty, which is better than the life of ordinary people.
Because Qi Jie has built Yandi into a military fortress, a lot of money is needed everywhere, and the funds given by Qi to Qi Jie are really limited, so Qi Jie needs to find a way to make money by himself.
He pointed the finger at the Yandi aristocracy, those who have money will pay, and those who don't have money will send people, so as to strengthen the Jizhou Corps.
As for looting the grassland, this is also making money, of course, people in the grassland rob you, why can't you rob people?
At that time, when Qi was under the rule, the Zhao State had not yet fallen, so the object of his robbery was actually Zhao Di.
It can be said that everything Qi Jiu did was for the Great Qi Empire, although he was greedy for a lot of money, but basically all of this money was used for military spending.
The three most expensive legions in Qi State, one is the Northern Legion, one is the Samurai Legion, and the other is the Jizhou Legion.
However, because the Jizhou Legion is ruled by the King of Yan, his military salary, Qi State is to let the King of Yan find his own way, and the King of Yan is to squeeze the nobles of Yandi, and ask for a certain amount of empty salary for the Qi State, as well as robbery, to supplement the military expenses of the Jizhou Legion.
Although it is military expenses, it is still the reason for empty salary, and that is because most of this cost is not given to the regular soldiers of the Jizhou Legion, but to those doormen, so this makes this military expenditure an empty salary.
These doormen, who do not have the establishment of Qi State, are all Qi Sect people, so they are not eligible to receive Qi State's food and salary, but people work for Qi State, and they are also real, you can't help but give people money, right?
People also want to eat, and if you don't give people money to eat, why should people work for you?
Therefore, Qi Jiu could only overreport the number of people to ask for a certain amount of food, and then supplement them to these people.
Of course, from Qi Guo's point of view, Qi Jie's production method is indeed illegal, after all, he takes Qi Guo's money and supports his own people.
But it is true that there is no position of three thousand idle positions, and these people are all rangers, and they are not suitable for the position of the establishment.
After all, everyone in the world knows that there are 3,000 chickens and dogs under the Qi Sect, and these people, if they enter the establishment of the Qi State, they don't know how far the Qi State will be.
But in Qi Fei's eyes, this is different, this is Qi Jie's corruption, originally these people were going to serve Qi Fei, after all, Qi Fei died, so follow Qi Fei.
But Qi Fei looked down on them, and after a month in power, basically these people ran away, and most of them came to Feng Tan to eat.
Still others chose to go into seclusion.
In three months, the three thousand chickens, flying dogs, and thieves in Yanjing all left Yanjing, because in Qi Fei's eyes, they were garbage, useless, not engaged in production, and people who did nothing.
These three thousand people left under Qi Fei's contempt, and Guan Zhong was also angry when he learned about this, he knew that these three thousand people, although their character was not good, but they were all capable people, and in this troubled world, ability is the most important thing.
Guan Zhong was not very happy to come to Yandi, but after seeing the Yandi left by Qi Jie, he denied his thoughts at that time, and he felt that coming to Yandi might not be a good choice.
Because of the Yan Land left by Qi Jiao, the soldiers are strong and strong, and there are a series of capable people, although Feng Tan is gone, but with him, he thinks that his talent is no less than that Feng Chen.
However, under Qi Fei's three-month mysterious operation, the political legacy left by Qi Fei can be said to be gone.
First, he forced the capable people away, and secondly, Qi Fei began to reorganize the army.
Because most of Qi Fei's army is not engaged in production, they mainly loot, and the heavy cavalry of the Jizhou Corps is in addition to drills, that is, asking for money.
Basically, it's a group of old men who are raised, and these people occupy the highest part of the military salary.
Qi Fei saw it, he felt that this was not okay, after all, if you don't do anything, just take so much money, what do other soldiers think?
And Qi Fei is not Qi Jie, he doesn't rob, he doesn't ask for empty salaries, and he doesn't squeeze the nobles of Yandi.
This military expenditure has been greatly reduced, and in fact, there is not so much money to support this Jizhou heavy cavalry.
During the Qijiao period, the Jizhou heavy cavalry received a series of developments, and an expansion of the army occurred.
