One Thousand and Nineteen The Loyalty of the Army
For this kind of activity, Xiao Ruxun believes that it is very conducive to the development of the army and the progress of the soldiers, so he supports it, believing that he should come at least once a year to enhance the competitiveness of the army and enhance the army's sense of belonging to the emperor.
For no other reason, the emperor personally presented awards to the soldiers who won the competition, personally received the soldiers, gave the soldiers the prizes and the glory of victory, and shook hands.
This kind of glory has an irresistible allure for every soldier, being received by the emperor and personally awarding awards, and shaking hands!
How much glory is that?
When I was young, I was personally received by His Majesty the Emperor and shook hands!
These words can be blown to the family for a lifetime.
The soldier who won the solo event was the happiest, he could see the emperor alone, see the emperor standing in front of him and shake hands with him, encourage himself, and then give himself a rich prize, so that he can continue to work hard, at that moment, it feels like even death is worth it.
It doesn't matter if you have a group event, you can meet the emperor together, get a reward together, and the emperor will shake hands with everyone as much as possible to show their closeness, and they are quite satisfied and happy.
This was enough to make the eyes of other soldiers who did not receive honor green with envy.
Xiao Ruxun will take this kind of activity as the obligation of the emperor to perform, personally enter the army, meet with excellent soldiers, enhance the emperor's prestige and popularity in the army, maintain the emperor's influence on the army, and let the soldiers know that the emperor knows the emperor and understands the object of his allegiance, so as to enhance loyalty.
It is not possible for soldiers to know only the generals and not the emperor, but to let the soldiers know or even get close to the emperor, so as to have a strong chemical reaction.
To this end, Xiao Ruxun also did not hesitate to spend a lot of time getting along with the army, contacting the soldiers, and going deep into the grassroots to understand the lives of grassroots soldiers, such as going directly to the barracks to observe the living environment of the army after the competition.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiao Ruxun had many regulations on the life of the army, such as building barracks on a large scale as official barracks for the army to live in, improving the food and clothing of soldiers and a series of benefits, and doing his best to provide better conditions for the army.
For example, Xiao Ruxun stipulated that the army must eat one dry meal every day, tofu every three days, and one meal of meat every five days.
Tofu is known as plant-based meat, and it is one of the few sources of protein for the people of the Central Plains Dynasty, who have been short of meat since ancient times.
After Xiao Ruxun took the throne, he ordered to increase the planting area of soybeans, increase the production of beans, and provide enough tofu for the army.
Of course, it is not okay to support tofu, you should eat meat or eat meat, for this reason, he also sent a large number of pigs and chickens to the army, and asked the Huotou army to open up pig farms and chicken farms to raise pigs and chickens on a large scale, and then told them to castrate the pigs, so that the pigs can grow fat and strong.
Let the army raise pigs and chickens, increase access to meat protein, and at the same time reduce taxes, encourage the private sector to raise pigs, chickens and ducks, and those who are willing to raise chickens, ducks and pigs will be provided by the government to be raised, breeded, and then supplied to the army.
Gyeonggi villages that are willing to do so will receive special treatment – the manure produced by the army will be given priority and supplied to these villages for free to make fertilizer for farming.
The manure of 200,000 people can fertilize a lot of land, which is undoubtedly a blessing for the northern land that began to promote the cultivation of potatoes.
For some of the "dung tyrants" scattered in villages and towns, Xiao Ruxun instructed local officials to dispose of them all, and the ownership of the feces was also returned to the government, and the feces were supplied to the villages for free, without any private manipulation allowed.
Xiao Ruxun hopes to improve the diet of the people in the Central Plains from all aspects, increase the intake of meat protein and fat, and make the people's physique healthier.
In modern times, eating bran is healthy and weight loss, but in this era, it is a helpless move to survive, but just eating bran pharyngeal vegetables will not grow meat in any case.
Xiao Ruxun was meticulous in his concern for the army, personally observing the army's barracks, observing their quarters and beds, and then observing their eating and drinking.
See what they eat and drink every day, whether they eat at least one dry meal a day as he asked, tofu at least once every three days, and meat at least once every five days.
The reaction of the soldiers made him happy, because everyone did so, and they were very serious about the supply of the army, so that they could eat dry rice every day at noon, a meal of roasted tofu every three days, and a meal of meat every five days.
Although most of the time it is still eaten with pickles and salty soup, and it is common to drink porridge and eat steamed buns, but it is already very happy for the army to have such treatment.
A considerable number of them are the original Ming army that surrendered after Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition, what kind of life did they live, they knew in their hearts that they were often beaten and scolded and enslaved by their superiors if they didn't have enough food and clothing, and they couldn't always eat salt, and they often felt dizzy and dizzy, and those days were not people's lives at all.
Now it is more like a real soldier, training military skills every day, collectively reading under the leadership of military Chinese books, being able to eat and dress warmly, having tofu and meat, the army can also eat tricks, and even occasionally have a supply of fruits, which was simply unimaginable before.
Eating and dressing up is already a very happy thing for these former Ming soldiers, not to mention the special treatment they have now, which makes them full of a sense of belonging to Xiao Ruxun and Daqin.
In order to further enhance the sense of belonging to the army, Xiao Ruxun also asked the soldiers to report their origins, return to their hometowns to find their still living families, cut off the military registration of the military households, reward the families who recruited the soldiers, and then bring back letters to them to inform them of the situation of the families.
For those who have no relatives at home, they can only give a reward to express regret.
In this way, the sense of belonging and loyalty of the army is stronger, and more importantly, these things are conveyed to every soldier at the grassroots level through the mouths of the military Chinese books, and every soldier knows that it is His Majesty the Emperor who does these things for them.
That night, Xiao Ruxun, who had inspected the life of the army, left the barracks with great satisfaction, and before leaving the barracks, he drank and chatted with his old brothers who had started before, got close to their feelings, and told them that they would soon be sent to all parts of the country to assist in land reform and road construction, so that they could get ready.
By the way, Xiao Ruxun also revealed a little news about the reform of the military system, which also prepared them.
Everything Xiao Ruxun has done since he ascended the throne can be regarded as reforms, and all the malpractices can be regarded as reforms if they are eliminated and replaced with a new and effective system.
The military system, the education system, the political system, the tax system, and even the household registration system, Xiao Ruxun has corresponding reform plans.
Great Qin entered an era of great change.
