Chapter 383: Tears of Joy

Looking at the stage with blazing eyes, the body that was trembling because of the north wind did not move, everyone's body was tense and straight, with a strong reverence on their faces, whether it was an officer or a non-commissioned officer, facing the figure on the stage, there was a bit of fanaticism in their eyes.

Looking back at a few people, Sun Chengzong nodded solemnly, and when he saw Chen Hong, he smiled slightly. Sun Chengzong still has a good impression of this old eunuch, and the eunuchs reused by the Emperor of the Apocalypse don't seem to be annoying. Sun Chengzong's mind suddenly had such an idea, needless to say, Wang An, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, was relatively close to the civil officials, and he was a rare good eunuch. Chen Hong in front of him, although he is not smiling in peacetime, he is not sloppy at all in terms of right and wrong. Then there is the father-in-law Wei of Dongchang, who is also very modest.

sighed in his heart, Sun Chengzong was quite emotional, what kind of son of heaven uses what kind of minister, I am steaming and steaming! The time for the restoration of glory is not far off. Looking at the energetic soldiers below, Sun Chengzong nodded with satisfaction, as long as this thing can be done, he will definitely be able to train a male teacher.

"My lord, it's cold, isn't it the beginning?" Walking to Sun Chengzong's side, Xiong Tingbi said.

Nodding slightly, Sun Chengzong said with a serious face: "Read the emperor's decree first, let the surrounding guards shout loudly, and have you prepared all the people I asked you to prepare?" ”

"Lord Hui, you're all ready! All of them are trustworthy people! Xiong Tingbi bowed and said with a humble attitude, he respected Sun Chengzong from the bottom of his heart, not because of Sun Chengzong's status.

"Let's get started!" Saying that, Sun Chengzong turned his gaze to Chen Hong, who was on the side, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Chen, you should read this holy decree!" ”

Chen Hong on the side was slightly stunned, it was the holy decree given to Sun Chengzong by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it should be read out by Sun Chengzong. But when he saw the smile on Sun Chengzong's face, he understood in his heart that this was to borrow his identity! He is now the eunuch of the prison army in Liaodong, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and the entire Liaodong knows that he is a close confidant of the emperor, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor.

If the holy decree is read by himself, the credibility is really much higher, and after glancing at Sun Chengzong, who was smiling, Chen Hong couldn't help but wonder. This old man looks upright and upright, but he has chewed through this set in the officialdom!

"Since Master Sun said so, then our family might as well be respectful!" Smiling and holding the holy decree in his hand, Chen Hong stood facing south, while he had already prepared the incense case.

"Decree!" Chen Hong shouted loudly, and the guards on the side repeated loudly, and hundreds of people shouted together, like a tsunami from a mountain. Although the north wind was blowing, and tens of thousands of people were standing on the teaching field, they all heard it clearly.

hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, naturally no one dared to make a mistake, and Sun Chengzong led Xiong Tingbi and others to kneel in front of the incense case.

Chen Hong's face was serious, and he read out the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the soldiers naturally didn't understand what he was saying, but the generals understood. Many people's faces were gloomy, their eyes were constantly patrolling, but sweat appeared on their foreheads in the cold sky.

Some people are anxious, although there is no silver now, but there are thousands of taels of income every year by drinking the blood of soldiers. Compared with corrupt officials, it is naturally a small amount, but all the children in my family are pointing to this! If the system is changed, I am afraid that there will be fewer such opportunities.

However, some generals also disagreed, they were originally recruited soldiers, which was different from the officers and soldiers of those guards. Whether to change or not has little impact on them, and I am afraid that the division of land has no business for them. On the contrary, he looked at the original guard officer with a gloating face, and some people were still thinking in their hearts, whether these people should make a mutiny or something.

If he really makes trouble, it may be an opportunity for his people to make meritorious contributions.

The soldiers were basically confused, and when they heard a cloud and mountain fog cover, they all looked around a little blankly.

"Gather all the officers, this commander has something to say!" Glancing at the Jinyi guard beside him, Sun Chengzong commanded in a rather serious tone.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse dropped a team of Jinyi guards to follow Sun Chengzong's side, and now he is using them, compared to his own soldiers, the Jinyi Guards are much more deterrent.

"Yes, sir!" Jinyiwei naturally would not go against Sun Chengzong's intentions, Luo Sigong explained clearly, first, they came to protect Sun Chengzong, and secondly, to solve some inconvenient problems for Sun Chengzong.

Seeing the Jinyi guard appearing in front of him, the general's face became serious, and he was muttering in his heart. looked around, and could only follow Jinyiwei, after all, no one dared to act rashly at this time. These people did not necessarily have the courage to rebel, and they were probably killed on the spot if they made a mutiny.

Glancing back at Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong ordered: "Let's start!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Respectfully answered, Xiong Tingbi beckoned to a guard behind him and ordered, "Let everyone come out!" ”

It didn't take long for four teams of people to come out of the four directions of the school field, and it didn't look like there were many, and each team looked like a few hundred people. They were wearing the armor of the guards, and each of them had a scroll in his hand, and it was impossible to tell what it was when he held it in his hand. However, there is also a gong hanging on his arm, which makes people look a little confused.

When these people walked into the teaching military field, no one stopped, and immediately dispersed, each finding a position to be blown by the wind.

Li Datou was an ordinary guard, a veteran who had participated in Salhu, and when he saw that the generals were all called away, he muttered in his heart. Seeing that there was a person holding a scroll not far from him, he hurriedly leaned over.

I saw that the man beckoned to two people, asked them to drag the scroll, and then opened the scroll. Seeing the dense words on it, Li Datou frowned. But the man seemed to be confident, picked up the gong in his hand and struck it, and said while knocking: "Take a look, take a look, don't miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it!" If you want to know what the holy decree says, and if you want to know what the emperor wants us to do, all come and listen! ”

At this time, the entire Sect Army Field was full of shouts, and the originally serious Sect Army Field suddenly became lively, like a noisy market.

"Okay, it's almost everyone, you start talking!" Li Datou looked at the man with a face and said impatiently.

The man smiled and nodded, put the gong aside, and said, "The emperor's holy decree says one thing, that is, to change the guard system in Liaodong to a conscription system. In the future, brothers who have military status, you will no longer have military status, and the court will give you land, and you can live like a normal citizen. ”

Listening to that man's words, everyone was stunned, Li Datou's face was in disbelief, and his body was trembling. In this era, people with military status are not only not a good thing, but they live at the bottom of society. They have been in the military for generations, and their children and grandchildren are endless, and no one can get rid of them.

When it wasn't a time of war, they had to farm, no different from ordinary people. But there is another thing that is different, the land belongs to the guards, and all the grain they grow must be handed over, and the life of the children is not as good as that of the tenants. That's not enough to eat, not enough to wear.

When you catch up with the war, you have to go to the battlefield, and most of the men are all killed in battle. If you want to die properly, you can only think about it.

"Removal of our military status? Give us land? You're not lying to us, are you? Looking at that person, Li Datou asked with disbelief on his face, and his lips trembled.

"What are you talking about? This is what the emperor's holy decree said, and the false holy decree will be copied all over the house. It is this decree that has just been read, don't talk nonsense! The man glared at Li Datou fiercely, with a threatening look on his face.

Hurriedly nodded, Li Datou was also incredulous, and his face was full of joy at this time.

"How will the land be divided?" Another person on the side asked, apparently having understood the matter, and now he was concerned about the land.

"Starting tomorrow, the land will be weighed according to the 1,000 households. Then, according to the amount of land, it will be distributed to each person according to the head, and the title deed will be written in person, and this will be your land from now on. It can be passed down from generation to generation, and it can be used as an heirloom for your family. The man said loudly with joy on his face.

Those present immediately burst into cheers, they never thought that they would also have land one day. Now that it has been confirmed, it is natural that they are very happy, and some people have cried with joy.

"We're all going to the heavy land, so who's going to be the soldiers?" Li Datou lowered his head and thought about it, and asked such a question, with a trace of doubt on his face.

Everyone's eyes looked at that person again, and their faces were a little worried, after all, someone had to be a soldier. There are a lot of people who want to be soldiers, and they can't do without the army.

"This brother asked well, and the emperor's decree also said that after the land is divided, you will be free. If you want to farm, you can go back to farming, and if you want to be a soldier, you can also continue to be a soldier. The imperial court would pay a generous salary every month, and of course it would not be in arrears. If there is a soldier in the family, you can be exempted from conscription and the like, which will be said later. If you make military achievements in the future, you will not only be rewarded, but you can also be promoted, be a general, and be a general! With a smile on his face, the man stretched out his hand and gestured.

Li Datou's heart suddenly became hot, and his face showed excitement, he had money to take and officials to do. I used to fight wars, and now I still fight, but this war is not the same as fighting.

At this time, there was thunderous cheer on the teaching field, some people wanted to go back to farming, and some wanted to fight for a great future. In short, everyone understands that in the future, they will no longer be bound by military status, they can do more things, and their sons can also study and take the top spot in the exam.
