"Registered?" Lu Yu didn't know why, he looked up at the sky, the goose-feather-like snow was gargling and falling, and the gloomy sky couldn't see the short time, but Lu Yu knew that it was too late, and if he wanted to register all these thousand people, he didn't know how long it would take. 3 And these thousand knights were originally registered, but they were re-selected from their respective ranks because of temporary needs, and there was some confusion, but it would not be difficult to gather the roster of these people.

However, in this case, Liu Feng, who has been leading the troops for a long time, naturally will not understand, especially looking at him so solemnly, obviously he has special intentions, Lu Yu reluctantly bowed down and took the order.

A thousand elite knights under the city have been waiting in this wind and snow for nearly an hour, and they will hear that they will not leave until dark, although there will be a hot meal in the middle, but they can't help but cry out in their hearts.

Liu Feng was unaware of everyone's thoughts, braved the wind and snow, walked to the front, and said slowly: "Brothers, everyone must know that Jizhou Yuan Shao is coming to beat us!" With such a big snowfall, you will freeze to death if you walk a few more steps, but Yuan Shao is not afraid, and he is not afraid of loneliness, are you afraid? ”

The knights looked at each other, but they didn't know why Gongzi asked such a question like a homely person, and after a while, a few people replied sparsely: "Don't be afraid!" ”

"What are you? I can't hear it! Liu Feng furrowed his eyebrows, and his voice rose violently.

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers raised their throats and shouted loudly into the sky.

"Are they all eggless, or haven't eaten? It's like a girl, I can't hear it! ”

"Not afraid, we are not afraid!" Qi Tian roared angrily, but after the roar, many people aimed their eyes at Wang Yu, who was full of shame, with a strange face.

It was the first time that Wang Feng had seen Liu Feng have such a vulgar side, so he lowered his head lightly, and his sorrow for the old father and young son was also a lot lighter. Lu Yu, who was leading a group of scribes in a hurry, didn't step on his foot and almost didn't fall, this Liu Feng-

Liu Feng was also annoyed, his mouth was quick for a while, but he forgot that Wang Yu was still by his side, sure enough, it was good that no women were allowed in the barracks, and it was inconvenient to say a word. It's a pity that such a good atmosphere has been destroyed like this, shaking his head, Liu Feng said loudly: "Brothers, the snow is cold, and we can't freeze to death, but don't forget one thing, brothers, we are going to kill people, if we don't do it, we will be killed, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" This time, the voice was neat.

"Good!" Liu Feng praised, "When Lone was thirteen years old, that is, in such a ghost weather, Lone and General Zhang He led hundreds of rebels with wooden sticks and rotten firewood knives who couldn't even eat a full meal and ran into Lunu City to slaughter Zhang Chun, Lone was not afraid back then, Lone believed, and now you are also not afraid!" ”

And up and down the state, how can anyone not know the legend of Liu Feng's attack on Lunu on a snowy night back then, thinking that a thirteen-year-old child led a group of ragged beggars to brave such a big wind and snow to attack Lunu City, and unconsciously straightened his waist, and this snowstorm was nothing.

"But now I'm scared!" Speaking of this, looking at the wrinkles in the eyes of the sergeants, Liu Fengmeng's words turned sharply, "I'm afraid that you will die in battle, and Lone can't explain to your family, and your father, mother, wife and children, no one will help you feed!" ”

"Hum", this sentence made the faces of the more than 1,000 sergeants who died without frowning in the wind and snow change their faces, if they died, what about their parents, wives and children? Most of them have parents, wives and children, even if they die on the battlefield, they don't frown, but once they really want to leave and abandon their parents, wives and children to die, who is willing to do so?

Before the battle, there was an unwritten rule in the army that parents and family should not be questioned in public, unless they wanted to dismiss the only sons, and a wise general would not make such a mistake, because it would have greatly affected morale.

Zhang Heben listened to Liu Feng talk about the attack on Lu Nu on a snowy night back then, and his originally somewhat aggrieved spirit couldn't help but perk, he dared to attack the city with only more than a thousand bandits and thieves, and now he is leading a thousand elite knights, what are you afraid of!

It's just that when I heard Liu Feng say these words that affected the morale of the army, I couldn't help but speculate in my heart, I don't know what he did. Since they met, Zhang He has been following Liu Feng for more than five years, and others don't know, in terms of confidence in Liu Feng, in Bingzhou, even the lord Liu Bei, who is his father, is not as good as Zhang He. 3 Probably, only Liu Feng's wives who blindly trust him can be ranked in front of Zhang He.

The young man who talked eloquently back then has penetrated into Zhang He's heart.

"You're scared, aren't you? Answer me! Liu Feng smiled faintly, and then roared loudly.

The sergeants looked at each other, are they afraid? The neat military formation was not disturbed in the wind and snow, but because of Liu Feng's words, there were big fluctuations.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm worried about my parents, wife and children, what dare I admit it!" Don't answer, Liu Fengzhuan roared excitedly, "Lone is also afraid, Lone is not afraid of death, Lone has never been hard, an arrow piercing the heart can't kill Lone's life, the person who can kill Lone in this world has not been born yet!" But Lone is afraid, Lone is afraid that you will die, Lone will not be able to explain to your parents, afraid that after you die, your parents, wives and children will still starve and freeze, and there will be no one to take care of your parents, wives and children! ”

Although Liu Feng has the title of Marquis Zhu Xu, he has always treated people with courtesy, and rarely calls himself "Lonely" and "Benhou" and other honorific titles, but this time, he is really acting as the Marquis of Zhu Xu, the Han Dynasty. Lu Yu and Zhang He on the side vaguely understood that he had made a big decision, and he had a straight waist, even if the sky was full of wind and snow, he didn't realize it.

Seeing that all the sergeants silently lowered their heads, Liu Feng eased his mind and said loudly: "Sons and daughters in the army, it is a matter of course to fight on the battlefield, if you don't have to do it, Lone doesn't want you to die, and you don't want to wear linen and filial piety up and down the state, but your bones can't return to your hometown!" However, since you are going to take you to kill the enemy, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and you have no choice! ”

"However, even if you die in battle, as long as Lone is still alive, as long as my father and son are still in the state and can speak, Lone must ensure that your parents, wives and children have no worries about food and clothing!"

"Childe, the villain was originally a person of Zhang Dashuai in Montenegro, although Zhang Dashuai was good to the villain, but he couldn't let the villain's father and mother eat a few meals, it was the lord who took in the villain, in the past two years, the villain's father and mother were at home for the lord, and set up an immortal tablet for the son, and prayed for the lord and the son to live a long life every day! The villain's life has long been Gongzi's! ”

A vulgar man drove his horse forward and said loudly, "As long as the lord is there, the little ones will never worry about whether the father and mother at home will starve and freeze, the son said, what should I do, as long as the son says a word, the little ones are not afraid of death!" ”

"That's right! We are not afraid of death! More than a thousand sergeants roared like thunder, and the decadent mood of the youth rose again.

"Good brother!" Liu Feng's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists to the soldiers, in this world, the most sincere thing is the gratitude of the people at the bottom, they don't have the kind of "pursuit" that no one can understand, no one understands the betrayal of the state, and they will not be like Wang Rou brothers, swaying in responsibility, trustworthiness and self-interest, and don't know what to follow. If there is kindness to repay kindness, even if they die to death, they will not frown, but if there is hatred, they may not be able to repay it. A spoonful of food and a scoop of drink is the most basic prayer of these poor and weak people who are struggling on the line of death, and it is also their highest prayer, however, they often get nothing, and even become the "human breast" in the mouth of those "eloquent" warlords!

Those people, those so-called famous families, and the princes of the past generations, are just doing a little bit of their own work, but they are looking forward to getting the gifts of the whole world as compensation, and if they are a little unsatisfactory, others will offer a higher price to tempt them slightly, and who cares if they change their incorruptibility and shame? Not to mention the rise and fall of the ethereal world, the livelihood of the people is difficult!

What does the rise and fall of the world have to do with me?

Hahaha!

In Liu Feng's heart, there has never been such a real thing as today, full of trust in these vulgar soldiers, unrepeatable trust, they need the least, but they pay the most, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency with more than loss!

"I know you're not afraid of death, but I'm afraid, I'm really afraid!" Stabilizing his mind, Liu Feng said loudly, "Since I have no choice but to take you to death, if I can't guarantee that your parents, wives and children will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, I'm afraid that I will never be able to sleep peacefully in my life!" ”

Lu Yu lined up the bookcase, and in the wind and snow, the rolls of smooth and bright Zhengxin paper were scraped all over the place, and the openings were opened, but there was an uneasy thought in his heart, and the state, is it the lord's, or the son's Liu Feng, or the Han court? Who's in charge?

While he was still hesitating, Liu Feng had already disclosed his thoughtfulness:

"For the war dead, their parents are supported by the state government, and each person is given one hectare of land, and they are exempt from taxation for ten years!"

"If one person is beheaded, he will be granted five acres of land, and if he beheads five people, he will be promoted to another level, and he will be given fifty acres of land for life!"

"Kill one enemy general, promote the knight to the third level, grant one hectare of land, and be exempt from endowment for life!"

"...... Chop"

Lu Yu trembled his hands, and memorized Liu Feng's dictation word for word on a big red silk cloth, but it was not because of the cold, but because of the shock in his heart, he didn't understand, or he understood very well: Son, what does he want to do? Is it just an empty promise before leaving, or is it really not taking the Han family's law in his eyes? Childe, where did he put the lord again......

Lu Yu, who is familiar with history, naturally knows that the article mentioned by Liu Feng is actually the Qin people's military merit first-level system and military merit awarding system!

The most important of these is the military merit granting system that the Han Dynasty once followed, but has long been abandoned!

The Qin people relied on the military merit first-class system and the military merit conferring system initiated by Shang Jun, the people were warlike, fought bravely, and finally turned from weak to strong, destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, swallowed the six countries, mixed one, and established the ancient imperial industry of Qin Shi Huang!

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and it was also extremely important to military merits, the enemy's head was the medal of the soldiers, and it was the dream of all men in the Han Dynasty to be crowned marquis on the battlefield with military merits.

Although this road is difficult, and it will be successful, it can basically be just and fair, and you can really eat with your ability. It is precisely because of this that paving one's own feudal road with the enemy's head can become the dream of all Han men in their lives.

The tragedy of Li Guang's life is that he has fought for decades and approached this goal countless times, but he is still empty-handed!

Although he didn't think about the impact of the military merit granting system for a while, Lu Yu knew very well that the military merit awarding system was a key to the rise of the Qin state. It's just that Lu Yu still doesn't understand why Liu Feng wants to pick up this military merit conferring system again at this time, this article has been ticked off in the Han family system, although Liu Feng is Zhu Xuhou, but the matter of privately changing the law of the Han family is not something he can do, and obviously, this is just his temporary idea, and he has not discussed it with the lord Liu Bei at all. There are many ways to stabilize the morale of the military, but privately changing the country's laws will attract criticism, especially this is a relatively sensitive system.

Moreover, the implementation of the military merit conferring system will inevitably lead to a substantial improvement in the status of soldiers, resulting in a large number of new upstarts for soldiers, who will inevitably challenge the dominance of the family valve in various fields of the Han Empire, can they agree?

The originally lowly Shuren businessman and industry were on an equal footing with the princes of the past by virtue of their military exploits?

Joke!

Lu Yu's forehead couldn't stop sweating, and the hand holding the pen couldn't stop trembling, but he didn't know if he was cold or hot. The orderly sergeants are excited, they can't think of too far-reaching places, and they won't go to things that are too far-reaching, but there is a very simple fact that is clear at a glance: with these fields and houses, even if they die in battle, their parents, wives and children can live without worry, and they can cut off a few more people's heads......

A pair of shining eyes are more jackals than jackals that smell blood!

Liu Feng's decision was improvised, but it was also an inevitable choice for him to think deeply.

In the pre-Qin and early Han dynasties, the military had a very lofty status, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once swore with the ministers that "no marquis shall be made without military merit", and it made the marquis a patent for soldiers.

However, with the passage of time, the system of the Han family was different from the Qin system, and all the positive aspects were gradually destroyed, that is, the Han Gaozu swore that "no military merit shall be made" by the Han Gaozu and the ministers, and only a few decades later, it was destroyed by his grandson, Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, under the strong intervention of the Empress Dowager Dou, the descendants began to be able to be the marquis with the favor of the pepper house, and a large number of unlearned and unskilled relatives ascended to a high position overnight with the Han family's tradition of ruling the world with filial piety, and finally evolved into Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han, and the ministers of the Han Dynasty at that time competed to sing praises for the "saint" Wang Mang, and Tian was shameless.

What is unexpected is that the reason why Wang Mang was able to buy the ministers of the Han Dynasty was that he was the main means, but it was from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the prime minister Gongsun Hong, who had no military merits, and made the unique feudal feud of the soldiers who were originally only on the battlefield to kill the enemy for the country In addition to his relatives, he also became a means for the emperor's ministers to envelop people, and the throne of the Han Dynasty became more and more worthless. In the era of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the price was even clearly marked, and you could buy it if you had money!

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military merit awarding system that had inspired generations of Han soldiers to kill the enemy on the battlefield was corrupted at some point, so there was a story of "fifteen from the army, eighty years to return", veterans who fought for the country for decades, one day retired and returned home, but in the end only left "go out and look east, tears stain my clothes!" ”

Because in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, in addition to the upper-level officers who could continue to be marquis with military merits, and even kill good and risky merits, they could be sealed marquis by secret means, but the hope of ordinary soldiers was directly deprived, which is why the faithful people in the Three Kingdoms period were so popular, and there was a symbol of loyalty Guan Yu through the ages, and there was an important reason why the incident of rebellion still happened repeatedly.

Because the soldiers of this era have been reduced to the personal weapons of the upper-level officers and generals, and they no longer have to be loyal to the emperor, and the only ones who can ensure the wealth of the soldiers are their officers and generals, not His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!

When a person masters the army, he is the heavens and the earth, and the warlords at the end of the troubled times came into being.

Dong Zhuo just held a few thousand Liangzhou soldiers, bought Lu Bu's Bingzhou army and the original He Jin and He Miao tribes, and had the capital to occupy Luoyang and control the Han court and abolish the emperor!

After Lu Bu slaughtered Ding Yuan with one sword, the state army became his own!

As for Gao Lan's killing of Wen Yuju County and the surrender of Yuan Shao, even if Liu Bei implemented benevolent government in Bingzhou, it could not affect ordinary Bingzhou soldiers to blindly obey Gao Lan.

A living fact is in front of us.

One thing is for sure, if Liu Feng is cowardly and Liu Bei does not know the soldiers, even if Liu Bei is still a pastor of the state, no matter how justifiable he is, there will be no one to bird him at all, and the former Jizhou Mu Han Fu is an example!

Who would have imagined that in the Qin and Former Han eras, which pursued the system of awarding military merits, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, Fusu, who held 300,000 of the most elite soldiers of the empire, and Fusu, the heir to the throne who was the natural heir of the Great Qin civil and military officials and even the old people of the Six Kingdoms, could commit suicide in despair because of a small eunuch slave and that edict full of loopholes!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's crown prince Liu Ju, the people of the world were anxious about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, and the thirty-year benevolent prince who looked forward to the early succession to the throne, even if he had occupied Chang'an, just the news that the emperor was still there caused the three armies to collapse, and finally died tragically!

Later generations did not understand, and could only simply attribute it to Fusu Renxiao, Liu Ju's unpopular army, but ignored a simple fact, that is, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, their interests were directly guaranteed by the emperor, and no one could bring them benefits except the emperor.

The general only leads the troops, and only His Majesty the Emperor can record the exploits of the soldiers in killing the enemy, so that their parents, wives and children can have no worries about food and clothing, and ensure that the fruits of their bloody battles for the country can fall into the hands of their parents, wives and children, instead of fighting for the country for decades, and finally end up empty-handed!

Lu Yu can't see it, everyone in this era can't see it, but Liu Feng knows very clearly that the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty are an era when there are countless times when there are guns on the bottom of the gram and the king of grass. Here, in addition to the collapse of the aristocratic system and the reason why the imperial examination system has not yet been established, the defeat of the military merit system has led to soldiers only knowing their generals but not their kings, which is not one of the important reasons.

Even after the establishment of the imperial examination system, it only created a separation of civil and military families, and gathered more and more scholars who were still empty talkers, and the interests of the soldiers were still guaranteed by their generals, not His Majesty the Emperor, who was in the ninth level of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace.

In this case, how much loyalty can a soldier have to His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in the world? And they need to know what it means to be loyal? So the Central Plains Dynasty helplessly fell into a strange circle, because the soldiers are easy to rebel, so the emperor desperately suppressed the defense of the soldiers, the imperial examination of the top of the civil servants also guarded against the soldiers, using their literati to the throne has no direct threat to the identity of the self-appointed high suppression of the soldiers, even to deprive the military of the leading power of the war, take the initiative to abandon the martial arts of the imperial dynasty, rather than defeat the enemy country than a strong combat army!

This round of wheels is down, and the martial arts of the Central Plains Dynasty are naturally inferior to one generation after another.

Since arriving in this era, Liu Feng has collected a large number of historical documents, and he is even more familiar with the history of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, so he naturally wonders why Fusu and Liu Ju, who have returned to the heart of the world, ended miserably in such a way. What was the reason why Fusu did not dare to resist, and what was the reason for Liu Ju's rapid defeat? Sometimes, he even thinks about it from his own point of view, if it were him, would he have the courage to raise an army to rebel against his father? And to what extent will the soldiers under his command obey him? If they don't listen to themselves, then what's the reason?

Just after hearing the news of Gao Lan's rebellion, Liu Feng "took the time" to ask himself again, if he betrayed his father, how many of the several partial generals in Bingzhou would follow him? And why do you follow yourself?

As for the reason, there is no doubt that it is because of his special friendship with Zhang He and Xu Huang, and in addition to the very immature loyalty to the monarch in this era, his father Liu Beizhi has no special binding force on Zhang He and Xu Huang. As for the soldiers led by Zhang He and Xu Huang, they don't have to be considered at all, they can only obey their generals!

Guan Erye is loyal through the ages, but obviously, he will not take the child Emperor Han Xian in his eyes!

～～～

Note: The military merit conferring field system was first created in Shang Ying, mainly implemented in the Qin and Western Han Dynasty, and is an extremely important means to motivate the Qin people to fight bravely. The system of awarding military merit was still a basic political system in the early Western Han Dynasty, but by the Eastern Han Dynasty, at least by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it should have ceased to exist. And in the long history of more than 2,000 years, it seems that there is no chance to be picked up again.

Han Yuefu's "Fifteenth Military Expedition" describes about the Eastern Han Dynasty, which at that time, should be a common phenomenon rather than a special case, imagine a person who has been a soldier for decades, in the era of cold weapons can not even carry a human head back, it is almost impossible. Judging from the fact described in "The Fifteenth Military Expedition", this veteran who "returned from the beginning of his eighties" is simply a family with four walls, and there is nothing left except for the death of his family.

In order to protect their land from being counterattacked by the "landlord class," a large number of newly allocated peasant youths enthusiastically joined the army, and they were loyal and reliable, and this is the fact that the PLA became stronger and stronger in the war, from the initial comprehensive suppression and the loss of a large number of base areas to the sweep of Chinese mainland within three years, which stunned the whole world.

For the military merit awarding system, I probably think too much of my opinion in the article, maybe a little yy, hehe.

As for the first-level system, it has been extended in the Qing Dynasty, but it is precisely because of this first-level system that there is a saying that "bandits come like combs, soldiers come like grates, and officials come like shavings", under the stimulation of the first-level system, in the event of a peasant uprising, officers and soldiers have always had the tradition of killing good people and risking meritorious deeds, and in the last years of the dynasty, this tradition often intensified, and a large number of good people were forced to devote themselves to the tragedy of "bandits". In addition to a large number of Yellow Turbans being slaughtered, there are countless innocent people who have also become unjust souls under the knife, and the Yellow Turbans themselves are only derived from ordinary people, and there is no difference between the ordinary people and the ordinary good people, and the officers and soldiers are simply not divided between the bandits and the people, and they should be slaughtered!

In addition: "head" originally meant to cut off the enemy's head and give him a knight, and "head" was the head, and later "head" evolved into a pronoun for head, and the meaning of "level" was diluted. Of course, this pronoun only refers to the severed head of the dead, if it refers to the head of the living person called "head", hehe, you might as well try it......

I had insomnia at night, and this time there was a lot of nonsense, but fortunately, it didn't exceed 1,000 words.
