If you lie on the side of the couch, will you allow others to sleep newly?

Liaodong is the foundation of Dong Kefu, and he must take Liaodong into his own hands. At present, although the Great Sui is in chaos, the main army of the DPRK is still there, and Dong Kefu is only hanging in Liaodong overseas. If he rebels now, as long as Yang Guang sends troops to Beiping County, he can be locked up in the land of Liaodong, and even if the soldiers and horses advance a little more, they will be blocked to the west of the Liao River. With the strength of the Great Sui now, Dong Kefu may not be able to win, it is very likely that he and the Great Sui will both lose, but in the end, it is the peasant army of the Central Plains and those family lords who are cheaper.

The matter of making wedding clothes for others, Dong Kefu will never do. For the time being, he and Yang Guang continue to make false promises, accumulate strength in one area, and completely control the soldiers and horses of Liaodong. On the one hand, he is also quietly watching the situation in the world, coming out on his own, and he is unwilling to do the benefits that others pick up. But he wanted to stand on the city tower and watch the mountain scenery, and when the Central Plains peasant army and the Great Sui fought a great loss of strength, and when the ruling of the Great Sui was angry and resentful, he would go down the mountain like a tiger and kill with one blow.

However, although such a strategy was set, now that the King of Liao and a group of veterans have entered Liao, Dong Kefu also feels great pressure. None of these characters are simple, none of them are bad, and Liaodong even has the possibility of being unconsciously evolved by them.

If he wants to stop things from developing in this bad direction, then Dong Kefu and let the soldiers under him follow him, and they are dissatisfied with the court. And now on the first day of the officials' entry into Liao, this change of reward is a good time. Although he didn't want to make a big fuss, he was able to provoke the sergeants to be dissatisfied with the imperial court, and even turn to the dissatisfaction of these local officials who represented the eastern part of the imperial court, deepening their contradictions.

Yang Lai stood there, looking at the noisy school field below, and then heard that there were many soldiers and soldiers' families outside. His face turned white, he didn't expect that on the first day he entered Liaoyang City, he was very satisfied with Liaoyang City on the street, how could he suddenly become like this.

His first reaction was to protect his own safety, and this time he brought five thousand shì guards, but when he entered the city, he only brought a team of fifty guards, and the rest were all left to camp outside the west city gate. Seeing these restless officers, Yang Han didn't dare to guarantee that these people would do anything too bad in a while.

Recruit the guards around you, "You go to the military camp outside the city immediately, pass on the order of the king, and let General Yang transfer five thousand shì guards into the city as soon as possible." ”

The officers in the school yard have become more and more noisy, and the cornerstone has seen that the momentum has become out of control under the leadership of many Jinyi Wei secret agents of the Investigation Division. Yu Juluo, Tu Wanxu, Dong Chun and others are all veterans in the army who have led the army for many years. Naturally, they knew that the mutiny of the soldiers was the same as the roaring camp at night. Once things get out of control, it's really possible that those jī moving Qiu Ba will do things that no one can think of regardless of them.

The army mutiny is no better than the peasants who make trouble, and once they mutiny, then the entire Liaoyang City, and even the entire Liaodong, may have unimaginable consequences. Li Benlei was also very anxious when he saw that as soon as these previous orders came out, the officers of the three armed forces suddenly became like this. He was determined to be a pure soldier, and the appearance of these soldiers in front of him made him feel a shock. It's easy for these people to move, but if they do something like a mutiny, then what they will face next is something they can't afford.

Yu Juluo was tall, and at a glance he saw Dong Kefu, who had been standing there without speaking, and he walked over thoughtfully.

"Lord Dong, the following officers are your old subordinates, and now you are the military of the seven counties of Liaodong, and you are also the governor of the court. At this time, don't let them make any trouble, otherwise Lord Dong must know the fate of these people. At that time, I'm afraid that Lord Dong will be able to escape from it. Lord Dong, you should come forward to stop it, you can't make any more trouble. "Yu Juluo is a veteran in the army, so he naturally knows the traditions in the army, and his subordinates will generally give a disappointment to the new generals. If the generals have the ability to hammer it, then the new officials will take office with three fires, and they will be hammered into subduing these subordinates with a killing stick. But if the lord is incompetent, then it will be difficult to make these ministries admire in the future. Generally, such a general cannot stay in a single army for a long time.

In Yu Juluo's opinion, the current restlessness of these soldiers and horses, even if it was not arranged by Dong Kefu, was definitely the result of his indulgence. Otherwise, he didn't believe that Dong Kefu with such an army without half a cent of military discipline could win consecutive battles in such a short period of time and finally destroy Goguryeo. ,

Dong Kefu smiled: "What do you mean by Yu Taishou's words?" Don't you think this is planned by the official...

Target? If this word is spread, it will be a slander against the subordinates. "No, my lord misunderstood. I mean, although the imperial court's approach is somewhat inappropriate, the imperial court also has the difficulties of the imperial court, otherwise it would not have done so. But it's not a matter for the soldiers to make such a fuss. If there has been a matter of igniting a fire, then these soldiers will have to bear the guilt by then. These are all soldiers that have been led by adults, and you can't bear to see them commit irreparable mistakes in the future because of today's moves? Yu Juluo's eyes stared at Dong Kefu deadly.

Fan Zigai, who was in his seventies, also walked over, "Lord Dong, now you are not only left behind in Liaodong, but also the military of the seven counties in Liaodong, and these soldiers are still your subordinates. If something happens to them today. This is not a small responsibility for you. ”

Outside the school field, at this time, countless people were already pouring in, and even a group of soldiers and horses who had been stationed in the city were marching in line. The rumbling footsteps and the noisy shouts of the people suddenly turned Liaoyang, which was originally happy, into a restless volcano.

Yu Wenhua had already sent people at this time, but the five thousand soldiers and horses he transferred from outside the city into the city just in case, and at this time, the soldiers and horses outside the city could not be rushed. Hurriedly squeezed in front of Dong Kefu, "Brother Pojun, it seems that these Qiu Ba are willing to listen to you." You must come forward and explain to them that this change of reward is not our intention, this is the will of the imperial court, and it will not help them to make trouble like this. ”

Among the crowd, Su Wei was the only one standing silent. He has also been in Liaodong for almost two months, and he has a deep understanding of this young Dong Kefu. Liaodong is Dong Kefu's territory, and with Dong Kefu here, no matter whether today's incident is made by him or not, don't worry. He knew that things would always work out eventually. Since Yang Guang couldn't tolerate him in the court and sent him to Liaodong, he would definitely stay in Liaodong for a long time in the future. Su Wei has now comprehended a set of very sleek skills, that is, a set of ways to deal with things with wisdom. Even at this moment, in terms of rank, he is the third person among all after King Liao and Dong Kefu, but he seems to have nothing to do with it.

Yang Lai arched his hand at Dong Kefu, and said to Dong Kefu, "Master Dong, this matter really needs you to settle down." ”

Dong Kefu shook his head: "What do you mean by this, adults and princes?" Could it be that I can't manipulate it behind the scenes? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison, it was not good to offend Dong Kefu at this time, so let's calm things down first.

Dong Kefu was silent for a while, and said embarrassedly, "The imperial court's decision this time is indeed a bit too sudden, so that these people can't accept it at once. I didn't know that this would be the case, otherwise, I wouldn't have gathered the officers to listen to orders, and if it had been conveyed at all levels in the army, such a thing would not have happened. I am afraid that it will not be easy to settle this matter, but His Majesty also mentioned in his will that the exchange of all rewards will be discussed with me and all the adults, and if we can set the conditions for the exchange of rewards to be more generous, I think the soldiers should be able to accept it reluctantly.

Fan Zigai and the others glanced at each other, nodded and said, "There are few people in Liaodong, and it doesn't matter if you divide more land." I think it's just as the adults said, the conditions should be improved, and these soldiers should be comforted as soon as possible.

We have just arrived in Liaodong, and we are not very clear, so it is up to Lord Dong to decide. "Since you have entrusted this matter to me, I will not refuse." Dong Kefu nodded, and he could also see that there was already a trend of complete loss of control below. And there are more and more people coming from outside, and if things drag on any longer, he won't dare to pack a ticket to control it.

Walking to the front of the parade platform, Dong Kefu stretched out his hand and pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and pointed to the sky with a choking sound. "Stand!"

It seems that when I returned to the battlefield, the officers below had queue training in their previous training. Dong Ke shouted stupidly, and all the soldiers subconsciously raised their heads and stood still, waiting for the next order.

"Remember why you enlisted?"

"Do you remember what I said to you when we took this city on that rainy night?"

Dong Kefu shouted loudly at the silent schoolyard, and the majestic voice came from far away.

"When you enlisted in the army, did you come for official positions and money?" "I remember, I still remember clearly, in that dark night, I and you, most of whom were still people, raided and took Liaodong City. Just upstairs in Dongcheng, I told you that we stayed in Liaodong and did not choose to retreat into the new city, but took the initiative to attack Liaodong City. We are here to defeat the ambitious Goguryeo people, so that they will not have to cross the Liao River for a day, and they will not have the opportunity to burn and slaughter our kindred, our brothers and sisters in the Central Plains. One by one, Dong Kefu's roar quieted everyone, not only in the school grounds, but also the people who had just arrived outside the school grounds stopped and stood there to listen. ,

"At that time, what we were thinking about was not fame, not profit! What we think of is to use our flesh and blood to protect the loved ones behind us. Now that we have won, we have defeated those Goguryeo people with our own hands and pacified Liaodong. For this reason, we have lost so many brothers and comrades, and you should be more fortunate than them, because there are many brothers who have not even waited for this moment. ”

"Now, the imperial court has the bitterness of moving to the court, and the decree is to change the previous reward and replace the military reward with a field, not to erase all the exploits you fought for before. Brethren, it is already happiness to survive dozens of wars. Now, the imperial court has decided to exchange the rewards of military merit and official positions for fields, and everyone should not be dissatisfied. I have just discussed with your lords and princes, and this exchange will be presided over by Ben Shuai himself.

Dong Kefu pointed his sword diagonally into the sky and shouted, "Brothers, on the battlefield, you believe in me again and again, with bloody swords and guns, and fearless. Now, I will personally preside over the exchange of military merits, do you still believe me? "Believe! We believe in the big handsome," several yells rang out in the school field.

One shout after another rang out, and everyone expressed their belief in the marshal and that the marshal could help them exchange fairly.

The voices gradually converged into a neat roar: "Believe! Believe! Believe! Dong Kefu put down the horizontal sword, and the soldiers in the entire school field fell silent.

"Well, you choose to trust me, and I will not fail you. Now I declare that in the merit book of the army, each first-class merit will be exchanged for 20 acres of land, and in addition, the money and property rewards in the original merit book will be exchanged for 2 acres of land for every consistent money. On the rest of the battlefields, the combat merits of each class counted are divided into ten levels, the lowest ten grades, one military merit is ten acres of land, and the highest one is one hundred acres at a time.

After all the officers were promoted, the official positions that were cancelled this time were exchanged from the official position of the ninth rank for 100 acres of land, and the official position of the ninth rank was exchanged for 150 acres, and so on. The maximum of 1,000 fields is calculated according to the level that has been cancelled, and the number of acres of land will be exchanged for whichever level is cancelled. ”

Originally, there were three kinds of rewards, one was for the official position to be promoted, one was for the military merit that had not yet been redeemed as recorded in the military merit book, and the other was the money and wealth that had been determined in the previous decree. At present, these three, whether it is the promised official position, money, or military merits that have not been exchanged, will be directly converted into the fields of Liaodong. The military merits of the soldiers in the Liaodong Army, in fact, have been rewarded after every battle. However, it was not the fulfillment of the imperial court, it was the fulfillment of the Liaodong Army. Now Dong Kefu continued to take it out again, and cashed it out to the soldiers again together with the previous reward.

Whether it is an officer or a soldier in the Liaodong Army, every soldier and every battle will have military merits, from the lowest tenth class to the highest first class, and the first class merit will be counted separately. Even in wartime, the soldiers of the logistics battalion who only carry equipment in the rear will be given a tenth-class merit. In this way, the exchange conditions given by Dong Kefu before are already quite thick. In twenty or thirty battles of the Liaodong Army, if all a soldier participated, even if he was given a tenth-class merit every time, it would be considered a military merit and two or three hundred acres of land.

The officers in the field, even if they are a gang leader, can exchange all kinds of military merit and official rewards for at least four or five hundred acres of land, and most of the high-ranking generals in the army can even exchange thousands of acres of land.

Such conditions made the officers in the field, as well as the military families and sergeants outside the school field, all happy.

"In addition, all soldiers and soldiers who are wounded in battle will also be recognized as disabled according to the lowest grade of 10 to the highest level, 10 acres for 10 acres and 100 acres for 10 acres. In addition, all soldiers who died in battle were given bereavement pensions according to their ranks, with the lowest being 100 acres for privates, 120 acres for corporals, 140 acres for sergeants, 160 acres for sergeants, 180 acres for honorary warrant officers, and 200 acres for second lieutenants. In addition, the families of the fallen soldiers can also share a piece of land in Liaodong according to the rank of all the soldiers before their deaths. ”

Beyond this opportunity, it is not only necessary to make the soldiers dissatisfied with the court, but also to buy the hearts of the officers and soldiers in the army. Since it is to buy people's hearts, the building Kefu is naturally opened according to the height, and it is hundreds of acres at every turn. Not only are there soldiers, but there are also those who are disabled, and there will be no less of those who die in battle. At this time, the people of the Central Plains generally had 80 acres of land, but now there is basically no land to equalize. Those young people are generally no longer able to get a share of land. And now Dong Kefu is extremely generous, in this way, in addition to the previous division according to the head and those rewards in the army, each even if it is a private, can be divided into at least two or three hundred acres of land, adding up to at least three or four hundred acres of land for a family. Even if it is divided into three spears, it is equivalent to 100 acres of land in the Central Plains. That's a lot of money.

Fan Zigai used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he often dealt with the people's livelihood, and he was also shocked when he heard the conditions of Dong Ke's reopening. According to this exchange, the other soldiers of the Great Sui must not be envious and jealous, in case they also ask for such treatment, it will not cause the soldiers in other places to make trouble.

"My lord, isn't this condition too lenient?

You see, although there is a lot of land in Liaodong, there will be other people moving in the future. Besides, if you make such generous conditions in Liaodong, if it causes dissatisfaction among the soldiers in other parts of the Great Sui, wouldn't it be difficult for the imperial court? How about cutting it in half? Fan Zigai moved, and also forgot that there were thousands of officers below at this time, and there were still dozens of ordinary people and military families outside the school field. opened his mouth and said it out loud.

As soon as he spoke, he also found that the voice was a little loud at this time, and the occasion was wrong. Sure enough, the soldiers in front had already heard his words. One passed ten, ten passed hundred, and after a while, thousands of people below all aimed their eyes at him, and everyone's eyes were full of anger. The previous reward was changed to a field, and everyone was unwilling to accept it. Fortunately, Dong Kefu suddenly came forward in person and came up with such a generous exchange condition, so they happily agreed. But who would have thought that this old man ran out again to stop him.

The soldiers, who had already calmed down and become happy, became noisy again. Dong Ke looked at it again, and smiled slightly in his heart, this thing is really getting more and more lively.
