Chapter 333: Great Zhou doesn't need a feudal town
Chai Rong asked that within one day, the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council came up with a strategy, and Xue Juzheng really had a good way.
"Your Majesty, the big camp in the east and west, 100,000 forbidden troops, unruly, unruly, undisciplined, the saint cut the military status, repatriated to his hometown, slightly punished, benevolence and righteousness are like the sky. However, they did not repent, and acted recklessly, beating to death the officials of the court, and the crime cannot be punished. However, the world is merciful, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and he can't bear to kill. Therefore, the old minister thought that these people should be sent to the land of Yanyun, and they should be allowed to make meritorious contributions and reclaim the border. If you can be diligent and serve the country, you can forgive his sins, and if he still persists, he will be severely punished! ”
Chai Rong bowed slightly, "Xue Xianggong is thoughtful, have you figured out how to arrange it?" ”
"The old minister has thought about it, and the champion Hou reorganized the household in Youzhou, ten households for one guarantee, and ten guarantees for one mile, this method is very clever. In the army, change ten will be the chief of the guard, the head of the capital is the chief, with a battalion as a town, enrich the place, forever as the barrier of the Great Zhou, reclaim in peacetime, organize the militia in wartime, combine farming and warfare, and the imperial court can raise 100,000 soldiers without spending money and food. Moreover, it can reclaim wasteland, prosper Yanyun, and increase income, which is really a wonderful strategy with one stone! ”
The more Xue Juzheng spoke, the happier he became, and he was simply in high spirits.
Chai Rong thought about it carefully, and there were more benefits of this method.
The forbidden army was placed in the capital, it was a tumor, and Youzhou had just been taken back, although the power of the local powerful landlords was swept away, and the division of the land was implemented, and the people's hearts were directed to the imperial court, but after all, they had been separated for many years, and there was still a big gap between the two sides.
The forbidden army was reorganized, interspersed in the middle, and the Han people of Yanyun formed a phenomenon of intermingling, you have me, I have you, even if you want to rebel at that time, there are no conditions, both sides, supervise each other, and can integrate with each other.
Yan Yun's people are fierce, the forbidden army is flying and domineering, it is just the strong against the strong, if you send ordinary people, you may be bullied to death, but these soldiers are not afraid......
"Well, Xue Xianggong's suggestion is very good, but these 100,000 people, are they willing to go north to Youzhou?"
"Yes!" Xue Juzheng said: "Youzhou has experienced war, the population is sparse, and the wasteland is everywhere, they have land, and some of them can be reclaimed, and if they go, they can live a good life." Lao Chen suggested that the imperial court could stipulate a five-year period, as long as they worked hard and did not make mistakes within five years, they could return home and reunite with their relatives at that time. ”
Chai Rong said: "If everyone has to go home after five years, wouldn't it be a vain calculation?" ”
Xue Juzheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in five years, most people will live much better than at home, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will not be them who will return home, but their families who will go to Youzhou to take refuge." In this way, the number of Han people in the land of Yanyun will increase rapidly, and they will always guard their homeland! ”
Speaking of which, it was already impeccable, and Chai Rong finally laughed happily.
"Xue Xianggong is honest and seeks the country, I am very relieved, add Xue Qing's rank and give a jade belt, you love Qing, you also have to be like Xue Qing, and share your worries for me."
Xue Juzheng hurriedly gave a salute, and Fan Zhen and the others agreed together.
Chai Rong said again: "It has been half a month since I ascended the throne, I have recovered Youzhou, pacified the rebellion of Zheng Renzhi, and the meritorious ministers deserve to be rewarded. ”
……
The new monarch ascended the throne, and he has always wanted to be a big vassal, but this time is different from the past, and there is a great achievement in recovering Youzhou, how many people are looking forward to it, waiting to be on the list.
But there are also people who are old gods, such as Ye Hua, except for giving Xue Juzheng an idea, he didn't go out, and he didn't even go to the early dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyi was very unhappy, he felt that the master was too lazy and too unpursued.
The old father Zhao Hongyin revealed his heart, Zhao Kuangyi untied a lot of knots, of course, he still felt that the eldest brother was lucky, but he didn't have such a strong jealousy in his heart, and people became sunny, but he was still calculating and calculating.
"Master, the one surnamed Xue took away your idea, ran to the Golden Palace, talked eloquently, and mixed up with the rank of waiter, stealing the credit of others, it is not ashamed, I am ashamed of him, it is really shameless." Zhao Kuangyi gritted his teeth and said: "Master, you don't want to be like the old horseman, I asked the eldest brother to impeach the old horseman in a book and give him some color, how about it?" ”
"Humph!" Ye Hua said disdainfully: "Xue Ju is the privy envoy, your brother is a general under others, it is not a small crime to commit the following crimes, are you not afraid that Xue Juzheng will give your eldest brother small shoes?" ”
Zhao Kuangyi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Isn't there still a master, my brother won't suffer." ”
Ye Hua shook his head, "The saint intends to promote the civil official, and I have no way, not to mention that the martial artist is not angry, he suffers on his own, look, the saint is going to attack the martial artist!" ”
"Is it that serious?" Zhao Kuangyi's mouth was wide open, and he could stuff a steamed bun into it.
Ye Hua didn't speak, but someone gave him a copy of the newspaper and let Zhao Kuangyi read it himself.
After Zhao Kuangyi opened it, he found that on the third page, it was recorded that Gao Yunquan was seriously ill by the Zhangwu Army's Jiedu, and he wrote a letter requesting that his son Gao Shaoji be appointed as the Jiedu envoy and inherit his position.
The Zhangwu Army is located in Yanzhou, which is an important town in the northwest and bears the heavy responsibility of defending the party. And the people in the northwest are fierce, the soldiers are extremely strong, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the court can only woo and appease Gao Yunquan, and dare not do anything to him. Therefore, the Zhangwu Army is like an independent small court.
They don't pay a penny of tax to the imperial court every year, and they also ask the imperial court to provide food and salary, and what is even more excessive is that the imperial court has not yet sent officials into Yanzhou, and forcibly sending people in, it will only be inexplicable and become corpses, Gao Yunquan's flying and domineering can be seen!
This situation is not unexpected, in fact, since the Anshi Rebellion, the feudal towns have been divided, and the powerful feudal towns are like a court, with the appointment and dismissal of officials, the collection of finances and taxes, and the recruitment of soldiers...... These powers, which should have belonged to the imperial court, were all enjoyed by the localities.
Moreover, even the power to appoint and dismiss the envoys has been usurped by the localities.
Normally, if a town is dead, usually pass on the throne to his son, if there are several sons, or there are powerful generals under his command, there will be a brawl to kill, who is the winner, get the support of the rule, write a letter to the court, ask the court to appoint, even if not appointed, people don't care, directly take office, let you Chang'an Tianzi die!
This situation has continued, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are no exception.
It's just that after Guo Wei ascended the throne, he worked hard to change, such as the traditional strong towns, such as the Tianxiong Army, the Protector Army, the Guide Army, and the Heyang Army...... These places were all under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the appointment, dismissal and dispatch of the envoys were arranged by the imperial court.
Taking the Tianxiong Army as an example, it has been replaced several times, and it has changed from the first army in Hebei to the first professional engineer, and has been completely incorporated into the control of the imperial court.
But there are some special cases, just like Zhangwujun!
Lile expedition, from the Son of Heaven.
Military power, financial power, and personnel power, these are the most taboo things for the Son of Heaven, but there are always martial artists who want to challenge this piece, and if Ye Hua is the Son of Heaven, he will definitely not allow it.
The lesser of two evils, instead of sitting back and watching the military people make a fuss, it is better to release civilian officials to bite people, at least to remove a civilian official, it is much easier than abolishing a military general.
"Master Hou!"
Xue Juzheng came to visit again.
"I'm ashamed, please forgive me."
Ye Hua laughed and said: "Xue Xianggong is polite, I am just talking about it, the person who really does things is you, Your Majesty's reward, and it is also a reward for Xue Xianggong's hard work, it should be, what is there to be ashamed of." ”
"Lord Hou is magnanimous, and the old and decayed five bodies are on the ground...... It's just, it's just ......" Xue Juzheng was spitting and spitting, wanting to speak and stopping. Ye Hua said with a smile: "Xue Xianggong, isn't there something else, just say it directly!" ”
Xue Juzheng blushed and said: "I can't hide anything from Master Hou, and the Son of Heaven sent an edict to the Privy Council to inquire about Zhangwujun's affairs." The old man also knew that Gao Yunquan's father and son were one after another, which was really a taboo, and he should reject it and appoint another general. However, the Zhangwu army was far away in the sky, and the old man was afraid that it would stir up chaos, so he couldn't make up his mind...... Master Hou, please help the old man again! ”
Xue Juzheng is quite honest and sincere compared to those prime ministers.
Ye Hua smiled slightly, "Xue Xianggong, as far as I know, Gao Yunquan is dead. ”
"What?" Xue Juzheng took a big jump, just now he had watched Gao Yunquan's recital, why did he die in a blink of an eye?
"Gao Yunquan should have died in winter, it's been three months, his baby son is not mourning, under the banner of his father, he wantonly planted his own people, making Yanzhou chickens and dogs jump."
Xue Juzheng listened to Ye Hua's narration and stood up in fright.
The imperial court, the Privy Council, don't know these things, where did Ye Hua hear about it? Can he be clever?
Ye Hua smiled, "Xue Xianggong, you don't have to be surprised, you forgot, General Yang Yeyang's wife is the daughter of the Fugu Zhe family, the Zhe family has been in the northwest for a long time, and knows the affairs of the Zhangwu Army very well. ”
"Oh!"
Xue Juzheng suddenly realized, folded his family, no wonder!
"By the way, Master Hou, can you destroy the family army and help quell the rebellion of the Zhangwu army?"
