Chapter 552: Honors and Soldiers' Hearts
Two Zhejiang provinces, Taiping Prefecture.
In the cave of Cheonggye Mountain, the lights are dim.
This is the place where Fang La died, and countless heroes died with him killing himself that day.
Ming Wang Fangla, although he is short-sighted, the city is not deep, and he does not have the temperament and ability to achieve great things. But he is a man from all over the world, generous and heroic, and he is heroic, and I don't know how many men are willing to follow him and die.
In the area of Qingxi Mountain, since Fang La's death, it is said that there are often ghosts crying and wolves howling in this continuous cave, and the locals are easily afraid to approach.
At this time, there was a group of people gathered in the cave, led by a brocade dress, neatly packed up, and his face was spotless, it was Gu Nanshan, a wealthy family in Jiangnan.
escaped from Hangzhou that day, but I couldn't track it down, but I didn't expect to hide here.
The Gu family's family assets were too large, and at its peak, there were more than 50 officials above the prefect level in the clan.
Even if he is on the run, he is still so rich and slaved.
In the cave, everyone looked at Wang Jingang in the middle, who was lobbying these remnants of the Ming Sect and the Jiangnan gentry at the moment.
"At the beginning, the nations competed for power, the soldiers of Qin were strong and strong, and the strength of the poor six countries was invincible. However, the meeting of the pond, Lin Xiangru is within five steps, but it can make the king of Qin smash. What is the rationale for this? If the timing is well chosen, the anger of the puppet can also make a big change in the world. ”
Wang Jingang looked around and continued: "Now the Great Song Dynasty seems to be powerful, but it is a reckless army and makes enemies everywhere. There is Jiaozhi in the south, Dajin in the north, a group of tigers and wolves in the west, and the South China Sea is also at war with the Cham people.
Think about it, what is the difference between this and Emperor Yang of Sui, I will wait for the unveiling of the rod to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty, because there is no impossibility. ”
Gu Nanshan hated Yang Lin the most, he was a good Gu family, and he was suppressed by him, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable.
He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, what Sect Leader Wang said is right, Yang Lin went against the grain and made people panic, I think it is a bit similar to Wang Mang in the Han Dynasty, this is the authentic way to take death, and sooner or later it will be overthrown." If you get up early, you can be the first in the world.
My second brother is in Jiaozhi, and the emperor of the Li Dynasty is friendly, when the time comes, we will ask Jiaozhi to send troops, and then contact the Jin State, buy through the Cham people, attack from the north and south, land and sea together, and we will bloom from Jingchu and the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and when the time comes, the world will be chaotic. Yang Lin's enemies are all over the world, and when the world is in chaos, it must be swarming, so why worry about big things. ”
As he spoke, the people in the cave shouted excitedly, and the sound was amplified by the cave, and it was like a ghost crying wolf.
At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the killing in the Jingchu area was too heavy, and it was originally a place where various evil witches were prevalent, so the combination of Maitreya and Mingjiao attracted many believers.
In addition, through the group of scholars and doctors in the clan, the Jiangnan gentry who had been squeezed out of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years helped each other, which made the arrogance of the cult more and more vigorous.
Outside Qingxi Mountain, where Fang La died, a new storm was brewing.
---
Yunnei, Datong.
The plague has been brought under control, and nearby soldiers and civilians have begun to enter the city one after another.
In the camp on the outskirts of the city, a high platform was erected, and the flag covered the air, and the wind was fierce.
Yang Lin lavishly rewarded the Western Army for its outstanding achievements, especially the meritorious soldiers in the street battles.
Zong Ze and Wang Yu also arrived, and when they finished blocking Yan Agu's fight, they attacked in time and made great contributions.
On the high platform, there are a number of medals, each of which is registered and linked to the holder.
On these medals, the word Fuyun is engraved, and there is also the Fuyan Medal on the side.
The commanders of each battalion nominated the officers and men who had distinguished themselves in the war, and after examination, the merits were genuine, and this medal could be awarded.
Wear it, enter the court without kneeling, and the family tax is halved.
In the Song Dynasty, only the status of a literati could have this treatment. In order to avoid the remnants of the rebellion of the five generations of warriors, the Great Song Dynasty desperately suppressed the warriors, admired the literati to govern the government, and was even more willing to spend silver on the scholars and literati.
The civil officials of the Song Dynasty not only had high official salaries and heavy rewards, but also could shade their families, and they were completely exempted from bad subjects, becoming a privileged "official" class in society.
As a result, there was a scene of "catching a son-in-law under the list". On the day of the release of the imperial examination, the rich gentry from all over the country set out with their families to compete to choose the son of Dengdi as their son-in-law.
The reason for this is that the treatment of civil officials is so good that it can't help but make people feel excited.
The salaries and benefits of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty were very high, and their salaries were rich and substantial, and they were held high and high, not just to give money.
As a matter of fact, the welfare of civil servants is breathtaking, including regular salaries, lusu, job money, spring and winter clothes, clothing and food, tea and wine, kitchen materials, charcoal, and livestock feed, and so on, as well as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and even the expenses of family members, all of which are paid by the state.
If he becomes a prime minister and a privy councillor, his annual salary is 3,600 pieces of money, 1,200 stone corn, 40 horses of silk, 60 horses of silk, 100 taels of winter cotton, 14,400 bundles of salary, 1,600 scales of charcoal, 7 stones of salt, and 70 servants' food and clothing.
According to the purchasing power at that time, the annual salary of the prime minister and privy envoy of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to between 8 million yuan and 10 million yuan in later generations, and the annual salary of Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng, which everyone is familiar with, is a staggering more than 10 million yuan, which is about the same as the annual tax of an entire state at that time.
Yang Lin's award can be regarded as the first step to break the privilege of civilian officials, and this benefit is slightly spread to the martial arts.
This is already a remarkable change, and everyone in the army is jubilant, at least there is hope.
On the high platform, killing more than ten enemies is a first-class meritorious service, and Yang Lin and Zong Ze personally awarded the medal, which is extremely favored.
All the soldiers are eager to be honored by themselves, not to watch with their eyes.
Zong Ze on the platform swept down, and an indescribable feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
The eyes of those soldiers gathered together, which really made people's hearts shake.
It is rumored that Shang Ying spurred the old Qin soldiers with military exploits, and the Qin people are still happy when they hear the war, and Yang Shaozai not only improved the morale of the warriors in one fell swoop, but also gathered the morale of the army in one fell swoop.
The generals in the army, I am afraid that they are willing to serve him, this person is the hope in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty warriors.
If this award is just replaced by another person, or someone did it a few years ago, I am afraid that before the ceremony is over, it will already fall to the ground.
Only Yang Lin is so powerful that he dares to do this kind of thing, thinking of this, Zong Ze turned his head and saw that Yang Lin's face was no different, and it was still light and light.
It seems that in his opinion, this earth-shattering day is no different.
This person... Is it really from the top of the family, what is his mind, why does he dare to break the privileges of the literati, and there can be no fluctuation in the slightest.
Personally hanging the last first-class medal on the chest of a one-armed old man, Yang Lin patted him on the shoulder, and these people came down in a group.
Yang Lin turned around, and there was the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, and at this moment, the entire cloud was chanting for Yang Shaozai.
