Chapter 225: The reward is not overdue

Want to hold a crown ceremony for Zhao Wuxian?

The old-fashioned Yin Duo coughed lightly and said: "The lord, the ancients, twenty and crowned, the gentleman is only fifteen years old...... Isn't it too early to salute the crown? ”

He naturally knew that Zhao Ying was anxious to make Wuxian crown, but Yin Duo felt that although Zhao Wuxian was good in everything, it took time to build momentum, was it too hasty?

Zhao Ying was unhappy, even so, he was too slow, how could he delay it any longer: "Lu Xianggong can be crowned at the age of twelve, and the first monarch mourns the prince at the age of fourteen, why can't my son?" ”

Fu Su hurriedly stepped on Yin Duo under the case and said: "The ancients, twenty and crowned, refer to the Shishu people who have no power; And the Son of Heaven, the princes, and the princes, in order to be able to take charge of the clan as soon as possible and be familiar with political affairs, they don't have to wait until that age. "≤, the gentleman is compassionless, intelligent and brave, and now he can govern a township into a well-off, he is benevolent, knows the soldiers, can defend the clan against the enemy, and can indeed crown early."

The matter was properly discussed, Zhao Ying was very satisfied, and after experiencing the threshold of life and death, he seemed to have realized something. Therefore, I want to set the position of the son of the world as soon as possible, in case something happens to my body, the Zhao family will not be as frightened as if there is no sun.

He secretly thought in his heart: "Although Wuxian defeated the two sons of Fan and Bank of China, and made great contributions to the Zhao family, but at present, we have reconciled with Fan Bo, and the crime has been detained on the head of Lu Liangqun's thieves. The two enemies of Qi and Zheng are still strong, and the Zhuqing needs to be unanimous with the outside world, and this matter is not good to be too public. ”

"So Wuxian needs another merit to make people have nothing to say, and after the crown gift, I will ask him to send Lebo home. The completion of this Zhao Le marriage and the great contribution of the Jin and Song Dynasty alliances. Wait for him to come back. Public opinion is almost done, and you can become the son of the world! ”

……

It's mid-October. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the shadow of war that shrouded Xinjiang had completely dissipated, and the secretaries returned one after another to discuss how to resist Qi's aggressive struggle for hegemony.

Although for various considerations, the victory of Chengxiang a few days ago is not good to be publicized as a merit of defeating Fan and Zhongxing. But defeating the robbers and defending the territory is also a credit, so Zhao Ying agreed to Zhao Wuxian's move to show merit for his subordinates. Let him go to the tally. Hand over the list of those who need to excel, and hand over the amount of money and acres needed to the calculator.

Therefore, after harvesting the summer millet and hurriedly organizing the people to plough the fields, Zhao Wuxian summoned all the retainers and village officials to come to the township temple to discuss the reward.

"Sima Fa said, the reward is not overdue, and the people want to get the benefits of doing good quickly."

The meaning of this sentence is that it is not enough for the monarch to be able to distinguish between rewards and punishments, because if the rewards are not made in time. It does not serve as an encouragement to the soldiers.

In fact, in "The Oath of Success", the rewards and compensation for the dead and wounded of ordinary soldiers were on the second day after the war. No shirts will be sent out one after another. Zigong used wheat flour and porcelain to collect money for several months in Jiangxian City, and he had already piled up the treasury of Chengxiang Township with corn and money. There is no need to ask for it from the lower palace at all.

And the savages and gangsters who were originally nominally tenant farmers and private property of Zhao Wuxian also participated in the battle. was waved by the shirtless hand, and basically got "liberated". And so it goes. There were fewer people who planted the public land, and the public land itself was mostly distributed by Zhao Wuxian to the meritorious countrymen and savages.

However, the ownership is still in the hands of the unscrupulous.

"The wild men and gangsters who have been relocated and released shall be counted as per capita per household, and the men shall receive 20 acres of land, and the women shall receive 10 acres, and those who are 60 years old shall return to the fields." Zhao Wuxian knocked on the table and set the benchmark for the distribution of public land.

In fact, this is not his original, but the field system promulgated by Guan Zhong and Jin Huigong.

"Private work is always harder than public work in a big pot of rice, and the cancellation of public land is imperative."

"Big pot rice?" Ji Qiao, Dou Pengzu and others were stunned when they heard this, but what the gentleman said made sense, although Chengxiang treated the countrymen and savages very well, if they were driven to work in the public fields, there would still be a situation of concealment, because it was unprofitable.

The old slaves were liberated, but the new slaves were replenished, and the group of thieves who were captured in Luliang Mountain were divided into townships by Zhao Ying as compensation for the loss of labor. This also coincides with Wuxian's plan to recruit some meritorious countrymen and savages to enlist in the army to supplement.

"More than 50 people were killed or wounded in the township, and we must find a way to replenish them as soon as possible, and those who have been discharged from the army because of their disabled legs and feet, in addition to the promised rewards and pensions, are given the position of head and head of the army in one place per person! In addition, there will be tax exemption for three years, and the children will be given priority to enlist in the army and be given priority in entering the church. ”

"As for the newly added more than 100 convicts and hooligans, they are the property of the township temple and can be distributed to the meritorious people for use, but they cannot be excessively driven and whipped!"

These disabled veterans, after gaining benefits, not only will they not complain, but will bring their loyalty to the local grassroots level who are willing to die for Zhao Wuxian.

The money and land can be distributed by Zhao Wuxian by himself, but the power of the title and duty is still in the hands of the lower palace.

Therefore, the reward for special meritorious service has been delayed until now.

……

Who will be rewarded? Looking at the eager expressions of the military officials in the hall of the township temple, Zhao Wuxian smiled.

On the second day after that night's bloody battle, Wang Sunqi had already woken up, but he had broken an arm and remained in the hospital. Zhao Wuxian recalled a similar experience in his previous life, and asked people to make a splint for him with plaster and willow branches, which made Ziyang and Zibao amazed.

The splint was not untied until the past two days, but Wang Sunqi's right arm was still inflexible, and he was enough to control a single horse.

"How does one hand manipulate the eight bridles (pei)? Wang Sun's position as the royal warrior is probably done......" Some people speculated.

However, the duties of the right judge of the Wang Sun period are still there, and this time, Zhao Wuxian only summoned him to discuss in advance, which reflected great trust. At this moment, everyone wanted to see something from his face, but after Wang Sunqi lost the third of his horse, he lost his passion at that moment, and sat indifferently on the seat, his face was unwavering.

Before announcing the reward, Zhao Wuxian had to make a summary of this battle, because the army that would not summarize the reasons for victory and defeat would not make progress.

"It's not too late to make amends; It's not too late to see rabbits and dogs. From now on, this is the rule of my township, and even the soldiers of the Zhao family, you and other good students think about it, this night battle, what can be improved? ”

At the beginning, everyone looked at each other, thinking that if there was a war, they would fight, and they would be rewarded for their merits afterwards.

But Yu Xi, who was sitting in the corner, got up first and said: "Gentleman, Xi is a big crime, it was night at that time, and there was no way to let the riders disperse the vigilance in Shanyang Pavilion, if you can find the group of thieves approaching in advance, you can evacuate in advance, and there will not be so many casualties......"

Thinking of those generous soldiers, horsemen, and even horses, Yu Xi felt ashamed in his heart.

Zhao Wuxian nodded, and said to Cheng Xuan: "Write this down and stop at night, even if it is in the territory of the Zhao family, you still can't let your guard down; However, this is not Yu Xi's sin, I let the riders into the house to drink water and rest, and my sin is also my sin. ”

After Yu Xi started, everyone began to gradually relax and compete to speak.

Mu Xia scratched his head and said, the gentleman should take his personal guards with him when he goes out in the future, if he can do so, even if he is surrounded, he can rush out with thick armor and heavy shields.

Yang Yurong said that the precautions he had made in advance were still not in place, such as the ravines should be deeper, and they could be dug crookedly, so that the enemies attached to the moth could make more detours; And if there are more places to hide at the back door, the enemy's arrows will not cause such a large number of casualties to your side.

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, must not be overlooked. War is a discipline that needs to be studied and inherited, and it is necessary to summarize the lessons and lessons in a timely manner and turn them into common sense and habits.

In ancient China, in addition to thanking God and their good luck, only a very small number of soldiers who survived the examination room would consciously think about why they were able to survive and why they won the war. And those who often think about these things are called famous generals by later generations, and those who write these down are called art of war.

However, even these soldiers, especially before the Tang and Song dynasties, still like to make some abstract summaries rather than specific descriptions because of the limitations of culture, written carriers and ideas, and many things in the art of war are ambiguous and can only be understood by individuals.

For these things, it may be useful for high-level commanders to look at them. However, what the military officials at the grassroots level, as well as the illiterate soldiers, actually need a detailed combat regulations, so as to avoid the recurrence of the mistakes they have made, because every repetition will cost countless lives.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian thought that he would write the experience and laws formed in this battle into a brochure, and compile it into knowledge that middle and lower-level military officials could clearly grasp in the future!

In that case, perhaps future generations of foreign netizens will not laugh when they hear someone praise "The Art of War", sneer at the ancient Chinese art of war, and regard it as a "useless thing". Perhaps they will take a detailed "History of the Spring and Autumn War" and "Regulations of the Zhao Soldiers", and laugh at the "History of the Peloponnesian War" of the contemporaneous Greek Thucydides.

As a result, the occurrence, process, results, and lessons of the entire battle, why they won and why they were defeated, were recorded one by one by the auditors. However, in this way, bamboo slips and wooden slips are somewhat insufficient......

"No wonder the pre-Qin art of war is so brief, it seems that any progress and leap in thought must be premised on material conditions."

Zhao Wuxian suddenly felt that it was time for him to consider making a thin, lightweight, and inexpensive writing carrier. (To be continued......)
