Chapter 580: The strictest law in history to protect soldiers
At this moment, although Yang Lin's strange gaze left and he no longer looked straight at himself, Wang Cong'er still classified this young emperor of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty as a pervert, especially thinking of Zhang Lin's description of himself, this pervert emperor was less than twenty years old, and he had three wives, so he was even more determined in his heart.

At the same time, Yang Lin was sitting in a precarious position, recovering his solemn expression, looking at the officials below, and said earnestly: "Presumably you must have a lot of questions in your hearts, just to commend the meritorious ministers and arrange for the people to be attached, is it necessary to call the officials of all departments, as long as it is a leader, to participate in this palace meeting?" ”
"I guess you must be thinking that whether it is rewarding our soldiers or placing those who belong to us, it is the matter of the Ministry of Defense and the Military Commission, and these have nothing to do with you. Of course, if there really are only these things today, it is true that so many officials should not be gathered, and besides, this temple meeting should not be held, there is nothing wrong with your idea, and I agree with this idea. ”
Yang Lin's tone was sonorous and powerful, but the implication was endless, and the words that wanted to rise and frustrate involved the hearts of every official in the Taihe Palace.
None of the people present were stupid, but they were all smart, and at the end of the hearing, everyone had realized that this meeting in front of the palace was not so simple, and there must be something big. Otherwise, there would not have been so many people called, and each department would have a first or second leader present, or both in the Taihe Palace.
Obviously, Yang Lin did not disappoint everyone, and the next words just verified their guess.
"Maybe some of you have already guessed that Wang Cong'er's matter is just a foreshadowing, and there is a big matter behind them, involving all departments of the imperial court. Yes, you guessed it, I'm going to talk about it now. ”
Hearing this, the hearts of many officials were lifted, as if their ears were stirring, trying to hear every word clearly, the solemn and serious atmosphere, and the mysterious tone, even the newcomer Wang Cong'er and others were also attracted.
"One of those present is counted as one, and they must all know that since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties, in the army, in addition to the generals who have a bright day, have obtained infinite scenery and increased officials and knights. However, like some soldiers, they only have a pitiful salary for their lives, and they are often detained. Dying on the battlefield and winning the war only made those generals, and those soldiers were at most a little pension, sometimes they didn't even have a pension, and they would bury their bones elsewhere. ”
The short passage was so deafening that everyone was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the hall became depressing.
Once it will be successful, everyone knows this sentence. However, no one cares about the soldiers who have become ten thousand bones, they only care about the success or defeat of the king, whether they are heroes or heroes. At this moment, Yang Lin's words caused everyone to think deeply, and sympathy arose.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Lin felt that the atmosphere in the Taihe Hall had reached expectations, and the voice sounded again, raising a few points, it was so majestic and powerful, and the momentum was compelling.
"I, Yang Lin, don't care how the previous dynasties treat this matter, but my great Guang Dynasty must pay attention to it, not only to reward the generals, but also to take care of the soldiers who fought bloodily. When he died, he died on the battlefield, and he had to have a generous pension and special care for his family, which should be valued from the state to the locality. ”
Everyone listened to the surging mood, especially those generals, Wang Cong'er also felt a lot, the world saw the glory and infinite scenery of the generals, but who would have thought that their bloody battlefield, desperately fighting, one by one brothers fell beside them. One of the worst is that after the death of his brother or subordinate, his parents and children have no one to take care of him, and he is bullied and humiliated.
Zhuge Mou was moved, he couldn't help the heavy feeling in his heart, took a step forward, showed respect, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what you said is right, since ancient times, no matter which dynasty, I have never seen an emperor who has paid attention to soldiers, and only those generals who lead soldiers are rewarded. However, if there are no soldiers one by one, no matter how talented they are, no matter how brave they are, the appointed generals will not be able to win the battle. It's time, Your Majesty, to pay attention to the most basic part of the composition of the army, the interests of the soldiers. ”
Yang Lin nodded, and did not respond to Zhuge Mou's words, but said: "When a soldier joins the army, no matter how he trains or scolds, as long as he doesn't mean to kill people, I won't care about it, and I don't want to care." Because, no matter how severe the training is, how inhuman treatment is, it is all for the good of the soldiers, only when they have excellent military quality, when they fight with the enemy, they have more possibility to save their lives. ”
No matter how stupid they are, no matter who they are, whether they understand military affairs or not, everyone understands what Yang Lin means. Otherwise, with this intelligence and emotional intelligence, he is not worthy of being an official. Everyone nodded, waiting for the emperor's next words.
"From now on, the Ministry of National Defense, the Military Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Public Security Department, the Procuratorate and other departments will jointly take the lead in drafting a plan to protect the families of military personnel, and how should their wives, children, and parents be treated after military salaries, pensions, and military personnel who have died?"
One stone startled a thousand waves, and everyone in the Taihe Hall couldn't calm down, no matter who it was, they were all shocked. If you really do what Yang Lin said, the silver taels needed will be an astronomical amount, and the newly founded Daguang Dynasty simply can't afford it, even in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, which were the most prosperous in the former Qing Dynasty, there are not enough silver taels to pay for this cost.
From everyone's expressions, Yang Lin saw the reality of these people, although he couldn't read all the thoughts in their hearts, but he also guessed what they were worried about. Yang Lin was not discouraged by the cruelty of reality, but his emotions became more and more high.
"I know what you're worried about, but the treasury doesn't have so much money, the world is in ruins, and when you need two pieces of silver, this policy is like a bottomless pit of burning money, no matter what time it is, it can't be filled up, and it can't be filled."
As the household servant of the former Qing Dynasty, Dong Huan's understanding was the most profound, almost out of instinct, and he asked: "Then ~ that ~ Your Majesty, since you have thought of this, why do you still do this?" Moreover, it is completely possible to settle for the next best thing, and only raise the soldiers' salaries and pensions. ”
With a little smile on his face, Yang Lin shook his head slightly, and said earnestly: "Dong Huan, I understand your kindness, in this way, it will greatly reduce the amount of silver taels needed, and it will also convince the soldiers." After all, for thousands of years, it has been their duty for ordinary people to serve in the army, defend their homes and defend their country, and defend their territory. I can't deny that. ”
After a pause, Yang Lin glanced at everyone and said loudly: "I think, you didn't understand what I meant. If a serviceman is bullied, humiliated, injured, and so on, the punishment for the offender must be doubled, and if the circumstances are serious and heinous, the severity of the punishment can be increased again. Of course, all this is based on the fact that the families of military personnel do not take the initiative to find trouble and cause trouble. ”
"Secondly, once a soldier dies, then the family members of the martyrs must be filled in on their family registers, and various taxes can be reduced by one percent, and the children will enter the academy established by the imperial court to study, and the tuition fee will be halved, and these preferential policies will not be revoked until the children of the sacrificed soldiers reach adulthood."
"Finally, and most importantly, there shall be no arrears of payment to a soldier, whether in time of war or in time of peace. Once found, severe punishment will not be granted! ”
In an instant, everyone took a long breath, relaxed a lot, and said secretly: "It's better to think too much about yourself, the emperor is not so simple." If the relevant policies are formulated according to these three conditions, there are not many places to spend silver taels, and the rest is only focused on protecting the families of military personnel and reducing their burdens. ”
However, when everyone was not allowed to take a breath, the tense nerves relaxed, and Yang Lin's expression suddenly changed, becoming sharp and killing, and his tone was extremely cold.
"Here, I would like to emphasize one more point, that is, when war breaks out, especially at extremely tense moments, if anyone delays the warplanes, delays the supply of logistics, makes the war on the front line tight or fails, and causes a large number of soldiers to die, then it must be strictly investigated."
"As long as the person responsible is identified, if it causes the death of a soldier, then congratulations to that person, only one death is required. If there are many soldiers who have been killed, he will have to endure a thousand slashes before he can die while his property is confiscated. Moreover, from now on, his wife, children, and parents will no longer be taken care of by the imperial court, even if there is the honor of a martyr in the family! ”
Therefore, whether it is wartime or peacetime, there must be various bottom lists for matters related to money and food, and when the time comes, it is convenient to investigate the relevant responsible persons. If the relevant responsible person cannot be produced when the relevant responsible person is found, or the bill is contrary to the facts. Well, I'm sorry. ”
"In addition, when investigating cases involving military personnel, there is favoritism and concealment of criminal suspects. Then, the case handlers will be punished for the same crime, and they will never be spared! ”
At this moment, most people's hearts and livers were trembling, nervous, and cold sweat flowed straight to their foreheads.
If such a law is really formulated, it will be absolutely unprecedented, and it will once again create a precedent in history, and it can be called the strictest law in history and the law that can best reflect the protection of military personnel.
It is not difficult to imagine that under such a strict protective law, who would dare to extend the hand of sin to the affairs of soldiers?
At the same time, the military personnel of the Military Commission and the defense are not having a good time. Although they are also military personnel, they are also direct beneficiaries. However, whether it is in peacetime or wartime, there are some things that they are the ones who handle them, the first person in charge. How could they not be nervous under such draconian laws? How can you not sweat in your palms?
However, most of the people in the Taihe Hall still agree with this approach, not to mention peacetime, just when there is a war, once there are people with bad intentions who want to do something, there is no such strict law, it will cause unpredictable consequences!
Battlefield defeats, massive casualties, enemy invasion of the country......
