Chapter 448 The new policy was promulgated to win the hearts of the people and the army

The generals who had already been moved by the words hesitated again when they heard this.

Zhao Junsheng immediately beckoned to the soldiers next to him, and a cavalryman stepped forward to lift the bloody head and handed it to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took Xi Ba's head and raised it, shouting: "Xi Ba has subdued the law!" He usually formed a party in the army for personal gain, ran rampant lawlessly, and today he despised the general, who was killed in accordance with the military law, and if anyone disobeyed, he could complain to the emperor! Today, we will only investigate the culpability of Xi Ba and his cronies, and no one else will be held accountable, and anyone who still listens to the demagoguery will be punished for the crime of treason! โ€

Seeing that Xi Ba had been killed, and the heads were all here, the weapons in the hands of the generals slowly hung down, and the ferociousness on the faces of the generals slowly disappeared, and everyone was dead, and it was no longer necessary to do that rebellion at this time.

Several of Xi's cronies who were mixed in the crowd shouted again, "Brothers, think about General Xi's kindness to us on weekdays, we can't help but avenge him!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, "Come on, arrest these people who disturb the morale of the army!" โ€

Cao Jiao, who had been observing for a while, had already locked the candidates, and he immediately rushed into the crowd with his own soldiers to find out all the people who took the lead in making trouble.

Wei Chi Yandong stood next to him and looked in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Zhao Junsheng, a young descendant, to have such courage, he was fearless in the midst of thousands of troops, and he was stunned to use a strong hand to suppress the chaos of this mutiny.

Zhao Junsheng's majestic gaze swept over the faces of these generals, and shouted: "Come on, beat drums to gather generals, blow trumpets and gather soldiers and horses!" Bai Jinguang, take your law enforcement team and wait around the school field, after the three-way drum sounds, the people who still haven't arrived at the school field, whether they are generals or soldiers, will all be arrested, and the general will go to the barracks to search one by one, and if you catch one, you will be counted as one, and all of them will be escorted to the point platform to wait for disposal! โ€

"Yes!" Bai Jinguang agreed loudly and waved his hand: "Law enforcement team, follow me!" โ€

At this time, the drummer at the door picked up the drum and began to beat the drum, "Knock knock knockยทยทยทยทยทยท

More than a dozen trumpeters raised their long horns and blew together: "Woo-woo-woo-"

Zhao Junsheng shouted at the generals who were still standing in place: "What are you still standing? Do you want to be court-martialed? โ€

The generals turned around with their weapons and ran towards the school grounds.

Seeing these soldiers who wanted to kill and rebel just now leave one after another, Zhao Junsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he actually sweated in his heart, he had never done this kind of thing before, it was too dangerous, if he hadn't killed Xi Ba in advance, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold down the battle at all.

Cao Jiao, Wei Chi Yandong and a group of personal guards kept wiping the cold sweat on their heads at this time, and they still had palpitations when they thought about the scene just now.

After three drums, Zhao Junsheng took Cao Jiao, Wei Chi Yandong and others to the school field to point the military platform.

At this time, 28,900 people have been assembled on the school field, but there are still many people who have not come to gather, Bai Jinguang and the law enforcement team have stopped dozens of late generals outside the school field, he ordered to tie up all these people and escort them to the point platform, and personally led people to search the barracks, and arrested all the soldiers who slept lazily in the barracks and gambled money.

"General Qiyu, my subordinates have been ordered to arrest all the people who still haven't been present after the drum sounds, a total of one hundred and twenty-nine people, please deal with the general!"

Zhao Junsheng beckoned, and a pro-soldier poked the head of Xi Ba with a spear and stuck it on the side of the platform.

"You can see it, this is the head of Xi Ba, the son of Xi Jin, the prince of the dynasty, the prince of the dynasty, and the son of King Xi Jin of Yicheng, as the deputy general of the Youzhou Army, he formed a party in the army, ran rampant lawlessly, despised this general, and would have been beheaded by military law, as well as the one hundred and twenty-nine soldiers who still did not come to assemble after the sound of the drum of the three links, entered the whole battle and fought thirty, if they committed it again, they would be beheaded! Bai Jinguang, you come to prison! โ€

"Yes, General!" Bai Jinguang agreed, and waved his hand, "Call me!" โ€

One hundred and twenty-nine of the offending soldiers were pressed to the ground, and the thick military sticks were hit on them one by one, and the beaten soldiers screamed and wailed one by one! I saw that the soldiers on the school field were all pinched up.

The beating of the thirty military sticks was quickly completed, until the back and buttocks of these criminals were blurred with flesh and blood, and the uniforms were torn.

"Come on, drag them down, send someone to find the military medical officer to treat their wounds!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand.

These people were quickly carried down, and the nearly 3,000 soldiers on the school field saw that they were very concerned, and they all knew that this new assassin was afraid that he was going to make a real move this time.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the generals and said loudly: "This general is different from others, human affection and relationship will not work here in this general, in the general's opinion, obeying military orders and implementing without discounts or deductions is a good soldier!" Once the military order is issued, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, we must move forward! Those who disobey military orders, fear the enemy, and retreat from the battle will be punished by military law! โ€

There were already military clerks who were proficient in Xianbei language, Gaoche language, and Ding Ling language next to him, and translated Zhao Junsheng's words to the generals in the audience one by one.

"Since the founding of the country, the imperial court has never paid military salaries to the generals, nor has it paid salaries to officials, only to provide ordnance, uniforms, food, and captured to the soldiers and generals themselves, but the soldiers do not fight every day, so the soldiers go to plunder the people in order to support their families, and the officials go to corruption and bribery in order to obtain money, this situation cannot continue forever, because Dawei is a country, not a den of robbers and bandits, so this status quo will definitely change, then this change starts from Youzhou!"

(Make a correction here, in the early period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the generals in the army did not have military salaries, whether it was the Xianbei nobles, court ministers or local officials, there was no money, and the income of the generals and officials was partly redistributed by the spoils of war, and partly by plundering the people to redistribute, this situation continued until the period of Emperor Xiaowen, Wencheng Wenming, the Empress Dowager Feng said that all the systems changed, and some ministers wrote to ask for an increase in the people's taxes to supply the officials to distribute the Lu, and the system of the class reward was replaced by the Yulu system!) ๏ผ‰

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand and said loudly: "From today onwards, a military law will be added to the army, no one is allowed to rob the people, no one is allowed to rape ** women, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" In order to allow the soldiers to have money and food to feed their families during the truce, the Youzhou Assassin Mansion will pay all the soldiers a one-time three-month military salary every quarter, and the military salary will be distributed in the form of money or cloth! โ€

"The soldier is paid five hundred dollars a month; The head of the soldier has a monthly salary of 800 yuan; The tooth owner was paid 1,200 denarii a month; The team owner (100 generals) has a military salary of 1,800 yuan per month; The building will have a military salary of 3,000 yuan a month! The chief generals and adjutants such as Changshi, deputy generals, and Sima in the army have a military salary of 5,000 yuan per month! In addition to a fixed salary every month, the generals can still distribute the spoils they get after winning the battle! โ€

"In addition, officials at all levels in Youzhou have a corresponding salary every month, which is also a one-time payment every quarter! If any more people are found to be corrupt and bribery, they will be severely punished! โ€

"From today onwards, farmers in Youzhou will increase their taxes by acres of land, merchants will levy taxes based on the size of their caravans, the number of shops, and the amount of wealth, and officials and scholars will also pay taxes according to the number of salaries and the number of fields, and these taxes will be used to pay the salaries of officials and army soldiers!"

"The payment of taxes begins with the general, and all officials and others have to pay one-fifth of the tax as a tax, and when the tax is issued, the tax that should be paid will be automatically deducted from the tax by the official who issued the money!"

"If a soldier dies in battle, the Youzhou Assassin Mansion will give his immediate family a pension, or a field or money or cloth! If there are minor children in the family, the Youzhou Thorn Mansion will allocate corresponding money every month until the children reach the age of eighteen! โ€

Many people know that the commander has to use a stick and carrots to his subordinates, and this trick is effective at all times.

Although Zhao Junsheng strictly restrained the generals and strictly enforced military discipline, he also gave them great benefits. The generals listened quietly as he made one decision after another, and when he finished speaking, the generals' hostility towards him disappeared.

Zhao Junsheng's decision, because of the need to increase taxes, although on the surface it increased the burden on the people, but in fact it reduced the burden on the people, because it forbade the Xianbei people to loot the people of all ethnic groups.

Zhao Junsheng believed that the people of all ethnic groups in Youzhou would rather break the bank and eliminate disasters than face the robbery and murder of Xianbei soldiers and generals, and once the news spread, it would definitely attract the support of the people from all over Youzhou.

"Wei Chi Yandong!"

As Zhao Junsheng shouted, Wei Chi Yandong immediately stood up and hugged his fists and agreed: "The end will be!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "You will preside over the drill, the daily drill shall not be less than four hours, and the food in the army will be changed from two meals a day to three meals, no matter whether it is windy and rainy, the scorching sun, or the ice and snow, there is no military order to stop the drill for no reason!" โ€

"Obey!"

After Wei Chi Yandong agreed, he immediately ordered the generals to quickly obtain war horses, weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows, and each of them to conduct training in cavalry archery and cavalry tactics in units.

Zhao Junsheng watched from the sidelines, and during the drill, he ordered the two buildings to conduct confrontation drills, or conduct mounted archery competitions, or conduct tactical confrontations.

Zhao Junsheng's people have not yet returned to the Assassin's Mansion, and the decrees and regulations he promulgated in the Youzhou Army have already spread, and when he returned to the Assassin's Mansion, Pei Jin couldn't wait to meet him and said anxiously: "General, did you really issue those decrees in the army?" โ€

"yes, what's wrong? The folk reaction was fierce? Resistant? Zhao Junsheng asked.

Pei Jin said with a bitter face: "The common people are very welcome, although the government wants to levy more taxes on them, but this can make the generals stop plundering them, but they are very happy; You want officials, scholars and nobles to pay taxes, some poor officials and scholars do not object, everyone has no money, you give them money now, they are happy even if they want to pay some taxes, but those nobles and scholars are very resistant, their family has money, where do they care about these money? And you're going to collect a lot of taxes from them, and of course they're not happy about it! โ€
