Chapter 679

The problem now is that the army can be handed over to Zhi Keshi to control, and when Zhi Keshi came to attend his wedding, Wang Yang had already communicated with Zhi Keshi and Su University.

The 100,000 soldiers were ready to choose those who were young and strong and willing to serve the country, and those who were over forty years old, or under eighteen years old, were turned into herding soldiers, and let them graze horses in the large grassland on the border between Yanzhou and Hongzhou.

As for those who do not want to continue in the army, the state can give them land, give it to cultivate, exempt them from taxes for ten years, after ten years, the land will belong to them personally, and at that time, they will naturally have to pay taxes to the government.

For this plan, Su Bachelor and Zhi Keshi both thought it was a good idea, after all, what was most lacking in the three states now was population.

If these soldiers are willing to stay here for the sake of the fields, they will not only be able to bring people to the three states, but their cultivation and grazing will also attract traders, so that the three states can be gradually revitalized.

However, one of the biggest problems now is that although the total population of the land of the three states is less than 160,000, it is still more than 100,000 people.

And last year, they all belonged to the people of the Western Xia Kingdom, and now that the three states are all under the control of the Great Song Dynasty, the reason why they stayed is not that they are willing to stay. It's just that most of these people are ordinary people who have no way to go to relatives and friends.

Their family has been here for generations, and they can't give up easily, so they can only stay. For these people, it is necessary to be both reassured and vigilant.

In addition, even among the soldiers who were willing to stay for farming and grazing, they had been from the Western Xia Kingdom before.

Now, these lands have been owned by the Great Song Dynasty, and in such a situation, if there are only aborigines, these three states will be very dangerous.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty was newly occupied here, and there was no mass base, but it was too much labor and money to want to migrate people from other places, and such a thing could easily cause a popular uprising.

If the people who did not come here voluntarily and are not accustomed to the bitter cold of the north, and then there will be a disturbance, then the matter will be even more complicated.

However, how can the people of the Great Song Dynasty be willing to come to this land of Sanzhou, which has just experienced a great war?

"Brother Xian, with your talent, can such a problem still be difficult for you?" Wan Bin sat opposite Wang Yang, eating delicious food, and beside him was a very tall northland woman, hmm...... This guy's taste really hasn't changed.

Non-long-legged girls don't pick, the important thing is that this guy is not tall in himself, at most about one meter six, but this girl likes to pick long-legged girls, and how many long-legged girls are short?

Well, Wang Yang decided to ignore the special interest of this product, and asked rhetorically with a frown. "Brother Fei, what do you think?" In the past few days, he has been so worried about how to increase the population of the newly occupied three states in a short period of time, and he has even had a lot less time to sleep.

Of course, Wang Daguan will never admit that it is because of the lack of sleep caused by the newlywed Yan'er being too hilarious.

"Wan is a businessman, from the perspective of a businessman, if I want to do business here, then there must be someone first, if not, then I think about how to attract customers, what kind of advertising planning is this, you are too much stronger than Wan, why do you have to ask me?" Wan Bin replied with a smile.

Wang Yang thoughtfully put down the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes swept not far away, where the three beautiful girls were talking to Na Wanbin...... How many concubines are playing cards there.

"Thank you brother Tai for reminding me, Wang really remembered, there is a way to use it."

Seeing Wan Bin's puzzled gaze, Wang Yang said a little proudly. "Vanguard."

"Vanguard? This box soldier is also my Great Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will not work for you to let the box soldiers come here to reclaim and live. Wan Bin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Brother Wan, don't you know, this soldier is not so much the army of the Great Song Dynasty, but the reserve of our Great Song Dynasty, that is, the source of the reserve of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty."

"And my Great Song Dynasty, the forbidden army is about 550,000, and the number of box soldiers, although less than the forbidden army, but there are also 370,000, the important thing is that these box soldiers are mostly weak and weak."

"And every time there is a disaster in the Great Song Dynasty, until the people revolt, the victims will be reorganized into soldiers, which has been customary, although after every disaster, there are also people who return to their hometowns, but there are very few, Wang inquired before this knows."

"That's because most of the victims who were organized as box soldiers are poor people, even if they return to their hometowns after the disaster, they can't afford to rebuild their homes, so it is better to stay among the box soldiers, and be able to eat military rations and get military salaries to support their families."

"In addition, the number of soldiers in the box is stored and the soldiers are short, a battalion of horses or only a few dozen horsemen, a battalion of soldiers or less than one or two hundred, and there are many generals, and the court should give them in full......"

Wang Yang shook his head very much to show off his level of classical Chinese, in fact, these words were bragged to Wang Yang when Su Dongpo's old driver was talking about military affairs, and they were sold by this product.

That is to say, the problem of empty salaries for the box soldiers is extremely serious, and the court supports money and food according to the number of a battalion full of 500 box soldiers. And those officers have been concealing the dissatisfaction with the establishment of their barracks, and most of the money they get for raising soldiers naturally falls into the pockets of these generals.

But the court looked confused, and he didn't know the following problems at all, even if he sent someone to check, those guys would pretend to be deaf and dumb after accepting bribes from the officers. Such a situation will inevitably lead to the inability of the court to grasp the situation of the army, and will also seriously weaken the combat effectiveness of the court army.

Previously, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi took more decisive measures to reduce redundant troops and redundant generals in response to these two shortcomings. In 1068 in the first year of Xining, that is, the year before Wang Anshi implemented the law change, Song Shenzong issued an edict: "If the Zhulu Supervision Division inspects the state soldiers and recruits those who are not as simple as the law, they will be followed." Those who do not serve as forbidden troops will be demoted to the army, and those who do not serve as the army will be exempted from the people. ”

According to the Northern Song Dynasty's "old system, soldiers to 61, the beginning of the exemption, still not allowed", Song Shenzong issued a handwritten edict, stipulating that sergeants "over 50 who are willing to serve the people, listen to it", the retirement age will be advanced by more than ten years, exempt from the people is very large, redundant soldiers are a large province.

Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi also revoked some of the numbers of the box and the forbidden soldiers, or reduced the number of commands of some of the boxes and forbidden soldiers. The ban on soldiers that was revoked at that time.

There are Guiming Bohai, Tuhun, Xiaosheng, Feimeng, Khitan Zhi, Anqing Zhi, Three Tribes, Xuanwei, Shenshu and other armies of the former division of the palace.

Guarding the Ma Military Division's Zhongmeng, Sanyuan, Guiming Shenwu, Xiaorui, Wuqing, Zhongrui, Weibian, Youma Ansai, and Bingzhou Cavalry Archery and other armies.
