Li Shimin lived in the barracks that night, and everything was fine in the camp.

When a fish-belly white appeared in the eastern sky, a rumbling drum sounded in Li Shimin's camp.

The soldiers in their sleep were awakened, and hurriedly got up and ran out of the tent......

The ministers of civil and military affairs who lived in the barracks and all those who were qualified to enter Li Shimin's barracks quickly dressed up and came to Li Shimin's barracks.

The sky was not yet bright, and the camp was full of butter candles, and the fire was blazing.

When the ministers came to the door of the tent, they saw a throne in front of the tent, with Chi Gong and Xue Wanche standing in front of the throne with their helmets and armor and their hands on the hilt of their swords, but the throne was empty, and there was no shadow of Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Hou Junji's heart moved, so he stepped forward and bowed his hand to Wei Chi Gong and said, "Jingde, where is Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Wei Chi Gong's eyes rolled upward, and he said in a humming voice: "A certain person is acting on orders, where is Your Majesty, how can I and other courtiers ask?"

Hou Junji, who was embarrassed by a word, had to retreat, and the others obediently shut up when they saw it, and it was boring not to ask for this.

As the sky in the east gradually brightened, a red sun jumped out of the sea of clouds, and the torches in the camp were gradually extinguished.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the drum of the generals outside the camp, and the ministers in the camp were all shocked when they heard the sound, where is the drum sounding again?

"Your Majesty is here, who is beating the drums and gathering generals?"

……

……

Just as the ministers were making noise, Li Shimin's voice came from behind the throne: "Why is it noisy?"

The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and immediately closed their voices.

But I wondered in my heart, why didn't Your Majesty come out to see the ministers in the tent in the back?

It wasn't until this time that Junji noticed that Li Shiji didn't appear, could it be that he was gathering outside?

As the three-way war drums sounded outside the camp, the ordinary officers and men in the big camp walked out of the barracks one after another and lined up on the school field outside the camp.

When the soldiers came to the camp, they saw that there was a throne directly north of the school field, on which sat the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the throne was placed in front and behind the throne with the emperor's gorgeous crown prince's honor guard.

Li Shiji, who was wearing armor, and a group of East Palace generals stood majestically on both sides of the throne.

Many soldiers were worried when they saw Li Chengqian put on such a posture, and these people have more or less said bad things about Li Chengqian recently.

Now I suddenly saw Li Chengqian looking at them from the throne, thinking that Li Chengqian was trying to trouble them.

However, Li Chengqian didn't have the heart to trouble them at this time, and he had something good to announce here today.

Li Chengqian watched tens of thousands of soldiers form dozens of phalanxes and spread out the entire school field, and said to Li Shiji: "The British Duke can start." ”

Li Shiji waved the small flag in his hand when he heard this, and a whining horn sounded in the school field.

The soldiers below gradually quieted down, and then Li Shiji turned to face the soldiers and said aloud: "Pass on the order of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Hearing the sound, dozens of knights ran out on fast horses, running quickly along the road between the various phalanxes, and every time they ran through a phalanx, they would shout: "Pass the order of His Royal Highness the Prince!" In this way, tens of thousands of soldiers can know what Li Shiji said.

Li Shiji watched the first batch of knights run halfway, and continued: "Now announce the enrollment list of the Royal Military and Political Academy. ”

As soon as Li Shiji finished speaking, the second group of knights rode their horses along the previous passage and ran forward, repeating what Li Shiji had just said as they ran.

As soon as the soldiers below heard that the list of admissions to the Royal Military and Political Academy was going to be announced, they immediately started talking excitedly.

At this time, even those who did not have the possibility of entering the Royal Military and Political Academy pricked up their ears and listened carefully to see if there was anyone they knew.

Then Li Shiji was heard reading out hundreds of names one after another, and every two names in a group spread throughout the audience with the knight's voice.

After this news was sent, it didn't cause much of a sensation in the field, and the people who were selected were naturally happy, but there were also some people who originally thought that they would be selected, because they were not selected, and a strong sense of loss rose in their hearts.

So many of the chosen ones are silent.

These were also expected by Li Chengqian, and if there had been no news of the military promotions of various ministries and the promotion of meritorious soldiers of various ministries, this list would not have been announced here at all.

But immediately after, Li Shiji began to announce another decree against the soldiers, and the scene was ignited at once.

The beginning is still the same: "By the order of His Royal Highness the Prince!" "The content is about the arrangement of soldiers who have been injured and disabled.

There are three kinds of people, and those with slight disabilities and combat effectiveness can choose to enter the Tang Dynasty Royal Chariot and Horse Store as a guard or serve as a government official in various official offices in Northern Xinjiang.

No matter which one is chosen, the imperial court will give them pastures in northern Xinjiang, and the imperial court with family members will give Shiguan money to arrange for their family members to settle down in northern Xinjiang, and the imperial court without family members will give Shiguan money to marry a wife and settle down.

The second kind of people who do not have combat effectiveness and have the ability to work, in addition to giving 20 guan the cost of settling in, the imperial court also allocates pastures to breed war horses for the imperial court, and the war horses are purchased by the imperial court at a high price, and a certain amount of grain and salt can be purchased from the imperial court first.

The third is that those who are unable to work can also get dividends from the imperial court pasture every year if they stay in northern Xinjiang, in addition to the 50 settling-in expenses.

Finally, it is stated that all pastures are owned by the imperial court and are not allowed to be bought and sold privately, and that the output of the pastures has the right of priority for the imperial court to purchase......"

Unlike the previous one, this decree caused a sensation as soon as it was announced.

The disabled soldiers were overjoyed, and the non-disabled were not happy, and some even wondered if they would have crippled themselves in the next battle.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are generally the middle or young sons of the family, and they do not have an advantage in the inheritance of the family business.

The Tang Dynasty did set a very good set of Juntian orders, but they were implemented very badly.

There are many reasons for this: First of all, there are not many fields that can be divided, and many fields are in the hands of the noble and wealthy families.

Secondly, the imperial court should give priority to the nobles and officials to divide the land, and then the soldiers and the common people. For example, if a prince wants to divide 10,000 acres of land, it cannot be broken at all, and all kinds of relatives and nobles below the prince must divide hundreds or thousands of acres of land.

Then when it was distributed to ordinary soldiers and ordinary people, there would be no land, otherwise the government military system and the tax adjustment law would not have been broken before Li Longji.

Now Li Chengqian wants to divide the pasture for these disabled soldiers who have no family property to inherit, which is a very exciting thing.

What do you say about the homeland that is difficult to relocate?

Inexistent?

In a few years, the frontier will be stable, and the Han people will come by themselves, so Du Mu said in the poem of the late Tang Dynasty: Although the shepherd drives the horse, the white-haired Dan is full of Hanchen.

Li Shiji turned his head to see that the sun had reached the treetops, and then signaled to blow the horn again, and he also announced that he would reward the meritorious soldiers.

In addition to the original imperial court, the meritorious soldiers should be rewarded with additional officials and knights, of course, they were also rewarded with pastures, and they were allowed to recruit some landless or landless peasants from the interior to run pastures for them.

The Hetao area is known as the south of the Yangtze River and can be cultivated.

After this policy was announced, tens of thousands of soldiers fell into cheers.

Li Shiji looked at the excited appearance of the soldiers below, and he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, in the past, these places were run by various tribes in the Tang Dynasty, so that they could guard the border for the Tang Dynasty, and pay some tribute every year.

No one had ever thought of giving the pasture to their own soldiers, and now it seems that what a mistake it was!

Then he quietly glanced at Li Chengqian, and secretly sighed how wise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was to come up with such a clever plan!

In fact, Li Chengqian's system was borrowed from Zhu Yuanzhang's guard system, but the land in the guard system was owned by the army, and finally became owned by the general, and this drawback was changed to the land being owned by the imperial court and managed by the local government.

In this way, the military and the government are separated.

----------------

He was summoned to Li Shimin's camp before dawn, and now the sun has risen to the treetops, and Li Shimin is still in the tent and has not come out.

This made Hou Junji and several people muttered in their hearts, especially when they heard the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers outside the camp.

Li Chengqian's ability has been obvious to everyone in the past year, and it is not difficult for Li Shiji to change the minds of the soldiers.

It seems that today's events can't be set in motion.

Hou Junji thought so, but he was very unwilling, it was not easy to get the support of all parties this time to fan the hearts of the army!

After all, they are not a whole, this time there are some local wealthy families in Northern Xinjiang who have been doing business between the Tang Dynasty and various ministries, and they do not want the imperial court to meddle in Northern Xinjiang.

There are also some courtiers and generals in the DPRK and China who were snubbed by Li Chengqian, and this time it was difficult to cause turmoil in the hearts of the army. It also happened that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's father and son were both in the army, and it would be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future after giving up this time.

On the contrary, as long as Li Chengqian's policy toward the ministries is successfully stopped this time, then they will form a force from the imperial court to the local government in the future, and no one will dare to move lightly.

Hou Junji even thought that as long as he mastered this force, he could also be a minister who took care of his life and decided to make a national ......

Hou Junji was thinking about it, when he saw Li Shimin slowly turning out from behind the throne.

Because Li Shimin will drive back to Chang'an in two days, the most important thing today is to summon the leaders of various departments.

Therefore, after Li Shimin sat down on the throne and the ministers bowed to him, he ordered the inner servants to pass on the decree and began to meet with the leaders of various departments.

Because Li Chengqian had already killed the leaders of the Mobei tribes and their relatives in the south of the city a few days ago, the first group to worship Li Shimin today were the leaders of the five Turkic tribes, and then the elders surnamed Zhaowu Jiu.

These people have all been trained by Li Chengqian, so they are all dressed in Tang Dynasty official uniforms and salute in a proper manner, and they passed quickly.

Next is the party ministries, and the ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides are cheering up to see if these party members will make trouble?

After all, Li Chengqian only killed their people yesterday.

After a while, I saw more than 20 party leaders who had been crowned by Li Shimin to the state assassination history and walked in wearing the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty.

However, these party members did not practice the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty because they wore the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty, on the contrary, they all knelt on the ground and wept bitterly as soon as they walked to the throne.

Li Shimin was also a little stunned when he looked at this scene, could it be that he was aggrieved by the Yeli clan killed by Li Chengqian yesterday?

"Why are you crying?" Li Shimin asked lightly.

"The ministers waited to see the Khan, and their emotions were agitated, so they cried bitterly!" Tuoba Chizi learned the way the Tang people spoke.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this: "Now that you see me, you can be even!" ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Chizi arched his hand upwards and said, "The ministers don't dare." ”

"Oh! Why?" Li Shimin said with a sinking face.

"The ministers are guilty." Tuoba Chizi is like a schoolboy who has made a mistake.

Li Shimin knew that he would have something to do next, and he became more and more unhappy.

But on such an occasion, Li Shimin still had to maintain the image of Tian Khan, so he asked in a deep voice: "What crime have you committed?"

"The Huitian Khanchen and other godsons have no way, so that the young children in the clan do not understand the rules." Tuoba Chizi said honestly.

Li Shimin thought that they were frightened by Li Chengqian and were pleading for yesterday's incident.

Yeli Meide's father and son have been killed by Li Chengqian, and there is no reason to blame them.

Wen Yan comforted: "You are all officials of the Tang Dynasty, and you really have to discipline the young children in the clan well. But you don't have to worry too much, neither I nor the prince will go on to investigate yesterday's events, and they will just discipline their children well in the future. ”

"Ministers, thank you for the grace of the Khan."

Tuoba Chizi and the others kowtowed and continued: "It's just that the martial arts held by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are right in front of you, and the children of the ministers and other clans are really not talented, please ask the Heavenly Khan to allow the ministers and others to bring the children of the clan back and strictly discipline them for a year or two, and then come to participate in the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Shimin's face darkened completely when he heard this, and he felt that he had been fooled.

Seeing this, the ministers on both sides also felt a little incredible, Li Chengqian publicized the fact that the soldiers of various departments were rewarded after their meritorious service under his subordinates every day, and made it clear that they wanted to pay attention to all the departments in northern Xinjiang, why were they still unwilling?

But Hou Junji and others were very happy to see this, it seems that Li Chengqian's approach is really unpopular!

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the habits of various departments in Northern Xinjiang are different, and if they enter our Tang Army, they will break my Tang Dynasty military regulations. If it is not made to become an army of its own, just like the previous Turkic Department, once there is a war, it will be able to fight with the armies of our Tang Dynasty, and it will still be able to make great achievements. "The first one to jump out and speak was Laiji.

Immediately afterwards, Li Junxian also came out and said: "Your Majesty, recently, the sergeants of the army have complained a lot about the martial arts of various departments......

-----------------

When Li Shimin began to receive the leaders of various departments, Li Chengqian's side had already begun to issue the last edict.

This part is for a bachelor, and those who are over 30 years old and unmarried in the army can give priority to the captains of each school to sign up to marry a woman from the Mobei tribes to settle down.

Other people who are poor and unable to marry a wife can also apply to marry a woman from the Mobei Tribes.

As soon as this edict was issued, some of the soldiers below almost jumped for joy.

The soldiers in the Zhenguan period were entered as soldiers at the age of 20, and they had to retire at the age of 60.

Therefore, there are many veterans in the army who have no wives and no children, and no one thought that the dignified prince would be worried about this.

In the past, they had destroyed many tribes in the war, but the women of those tribes did not have the share of the big soldiers.

This time, the crown prince personally led the troops to destroy Xue Yantuo and several tribes in Mobei, so how many good women must there be!

The thought of this brought tears of excitement to the eyes of some veterans.

It's really a bad conscience for the good prince who thinks about everyone like this, and someone still says bad things about him......

In the end, Li Chengqian also arranged a program for them, allowing Jiang Hong and others to show up and talk about their personal experiences yesterday.

Jiang Hong: They kept repeating yesterday's story between the various military formations.

Li Chengqian sat on the throne and looked at it, feeling that it was almost over, thinking that this time there should be no one who could fan the army's heart.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone shouting from below.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to expose Li Junxian at the end, and Li Junxian is spreading rumors to slander His Royal Highness the Prince......"
