Chapter 317: Change

Xiangyang, a strategic place connecting all four directions by land and water, is the front line of the barrier of the entire southern Song Dynasty, and since it has been recovered, it is necessary to repair it again and reinforce the damaged city wall.

The battle of Xiangyang was only the last battle with Shuanghuri, and the cavalry on both sides fought happily, although the Song army has always occupied an absolute advantage on the field, and under the tactics of artillery assistance and trapping horses, the Yuan army had no chance to turn the tables at all.

But after all, the final fight was completed with real knives and guns, and many new Ding, who had joined the cavalry of the Song Army not long ago, experienced the test of life and death in this battle, and after getting up the next day compared with yesterday, their eyes have changed.

The process of the celebration banquet was very simple, and under the intentional guidance of Zhao Tianyou's words, Du Hu and Chen Longfu came up with a more satisfactory plan. After every victory, the most glorious flashes should be given to those who died in battle, and they should also be the protagonists of the celebration, so that the living will always remember their performance in battle.

Of course, there are also rewards for the living, and the content of this kind of reward is more pragmatic, promotion and wealth are eternal themes, and there is no need to use any lofty ideals to beautify war, and cannibalism between human beings is always full of evil.

In this current environment, it is necessary to let everyone know that there is only one way to get promoted and make a fortune, and in the next battle, try your best to show the strength you have, so that your commander and even the highest general will be impressed.

A gold ingot of yellow, orange and orange, like a gold ingot falling from the sky, was issued to those ordinary soldiers who fought bravely and killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions.

It's not that Zhao Tianyou's money is not localized, but he feels that these soldiers deserve it, and the exemplary effect is very huge, although only a few hundred people are named and rewarded this time, and the reward of two gold ingots per person is not small.

However, under the envious gaze of the entire army, senior generals such as Zhao Tianyou, Du Hu, and Chen Longfu personally held them one by one and sent them to the award-winning soldiers, and that sense of glory could not be exchanged for any amount of money.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, this is a truth that has been fully verified by countless dynasties, who can use this article properly, then it is a matter of time before it rises on one side. In the past, the benefits and rewards in the Song army were filled by some officials, but those soldiers who worked hard in the front could only mix up the military salary that would be deducted without knowing when, and they didn't even have the ability to keep their wives and children full of snacks and warm clothes.

If economic strength and military power are linked, it really makes no sense that the Song Dynasty, the world's leading economic power, was wiped out by a nomad on horseback.

In the Cong Jin Liao era, the Song army fought against the nomads in the north, and in the continuous wars ahead, it also accumulated a lot of military scientific and technological developments, such as the use of gunpowder, the divine arm bow, the hook sickle, the primitive thunderbolt and other excellent weapon inventions and creations.

However, these inventions and creations that can change the direction of the development of the times have ended up in nothing, and many inventions and creations related to the military have been influenced and suppressed by an invisible force, and have disappeared silently.

According to the records that can be recognized in the official history, the earliest and most perfect application of gunpowder in military affairs was Genghis Khan in the Western Expedition, who burned Arabs and Europeans on the way to the west, and saw the powerful power of gunpowder.

Zhao Tianyou wants to correct the historical trajectory that has deviated, a country that is rich in the whole world, a dynasty that has created three of the four great inventions, should not be wiped out in the long river of history. Instead, it should rise in the East, raise its noble head, and spread the cry throughout the world, so that every corner will leave the footprints of conquest.

I'm going to conquer the world, who will go on this journey with me? Only those fearless warriors, who have experienced the trials of blood and death, are qualified to stand beside me, closely follow my footsteps, and watch the sea of stars on the journey together.

Every time the power of the Song army was won, the collection of recruits was very smooth, especially the people of the Song Dynasty near Xiangyang, and there was an endless stream of young people who came to consult and sign up for the army every day. Xiangyang has experienced countless years of war and the oppression and humiliation of the Yuan army, and almost everyone who survived was covered with blood and hatred, and he was holding back his strength to settle accounts with the Yuan army.

The malpractices in the Song Dynasty have been in government affairs for a long time, and if they want to correct them in peacetime, they will definitely be blocked by some traditional defenders and well-behaved literati and scholars.

And now everything is from the top of the smashed new construction, it has become a lot easier, no matter how amazing Zhao Tianyou's electrons are, but it is much better than the Yuan Dynasty people set the rules of how many people are divided.

Zhao Tianyou did not ascend to the sky in one step, and to establish an incomparably advanced regime in this era is tantamount to pulling out seedlings and encouraging growth, which may lead to greater disasters. He himself is a professional soldier, and he has a deeper understanding of the big fist is the basis of all rules than ordinary people, and only needs to copy part of his knowledge to this era.

As long as the fist of the Chinese people is trained to become the largest in the world, and then subtract the establishment of a set of rules to prevent civil war, even if he suddenly disappears again, the Chinese nation in this world can still prosper and endure for a long time.

As for the big problem of invigorating the economy, which is a big problem in many dynasties, Zhao Tianyou is a pediatric, and he has also studied social economics in any way, and he is still clear about some of the necessary processes of social development. In different eras, the demands of ordinary people are somewhat different, but the most fundamental primitive need at the bottom is to be fed and clothed first, and then society can be pushed to the next stage of development.

Think about the Third Plenum of the CPC Central Committee that I heard about when I was a child, think about the benefits of the responsibility of contracting the joint production to the households, and the Chinese people once experienced the situation of not having enough food and clothing, and once the policy was changed, wouldn't it soon develop into the world's largest economy?

"What? It is a good idea to distribute all the land equally to the common people, but after all agricultural taxes are exempted, what will our officials and officials eat at all ages? In that case, who would come on an errand? ”

Zhao Tianyou thought for a while and said: "The imperial court does not issue silver to let these officials govern the people, they should maintain the livelihood of the people, so that the lives of the local people are better, and there will naturally be ways to increase the income of the imperial court." ”

"I believe you, General Zhao, you have to come up with a feasible way in the future, anyway, we are now fighting to feed the war, and there are too many things to take back from the Yuan army. In addition to the use of military spending, first allocate some silver to the localities, so that they can make ends meet first, and if they don't pay for errands, this person will think of a crooked way, and he will not harm the common people! ”
