Chapter 287: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Chen Kefu stretched out his hands at Fan Zigai, and said helplessly, "Jigong, since you promised to hand over this matter to this official before, this official had no choice but to come in." It's good now, the official's side has just calmed down the love affair of the officers a little. You are old and can't rest assured, and you came to dismantle the official platform in public. Well, I'll leave this matter to you. You have just come from the capital, and you understand the meaning of the imperial court better, so I will sit on the side honestly and wait for your decision. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will say that this official is favoring the old subordinates of the past. ”

After saying a few words, Chen Kefu seemed helpless and angry, and did not stay. Put the knife into the sheath, flick the sleeves, turn around and walk off the parade platform, stand in front of the officers, and watch what Fan Zigai on the stage will do.

As soon as Chen Kefu stepped down, the soldiers below were clamoring again, and this time it was even more intense than the first one. Even outside the school grounds, the onlookers were all screaming outside, and even some of the fΓΉ people who were splashing were even crying and scolding.

Fan Zigai stood on the stage, looking left and right, and for a while, Jingran couldn't speak. He was only worried that Chen Kefu had opened such an opening in Liaodong, which would inevitably make other soldiers of the Great Sui stupid when they heard about it. But he forgot that as soon as he said this, it immediately made the Liaodong soldiers in front of him even more noisy.

"Brothers of the soldiers of Liaodong, even if it is reduced by half, this reward is very considerable. You used to be people from all over the Central Plains, so you should know how tense the fields in the Central Plains are now. You fight hard in Liaodong, even if you count half of Lord Chen's previous conditions, it is still one or two hundred acres of land, plus those in Juntian, the family is also more than two acres of land. Everyone should be satisfied with this result, and we must not be too greedy. Fan Zigai stood on the stage and bitterly persuaded the restless officers below.

There are already soldiers below who are not convinced, since the previous marshal has already offered such good conditions, who else is willing to accept another halve. This person was trained by Chen Kefu and didn't say anything about going to the battlefield. But now, in the face of vital interests, no one is willing to back down.

"Fan Taishou, is it just because we are afraid that the soldiers of the Central Plains will be dissatisfied, so we have to cut our reward by half? Then when we fought bloody battles in Liaodong, the Battle of Jinshan, the Battle of Liaodong, the Battle of Xincheng, and the Battle of Liaohe, there were countless casualties, and when we fought with the Goguryeo people with our lives, did the soldiers of the imperial court and the Central Plains forget? We have bought this with our lives, so why should we reduce it? We are not convinced! One of the lieutenants shouted, and his words were immediately supported by the surrounding military security, and a loud drum noise rose and fell to each other.

Yang Kan looked at the jΔ« moving officers inside and outside the school field, and his heart was also beating strongly. I kept cursing in my heart for the guard I sent out before, why I hadn't brought anyone over yet. As soon as the people arrived, he was about to leave Liaoyang City, and he really couldn't stay here, and every quarter of an hour he stayed made him feel frightened for a quarter of an hour.

"This king originally planned to set up the Liao Wangfu in Liaoyang City, but looking at the current situation, this Liaoyang City will never be able to stay. It seems that this king wants to write a letter to his father and ask him to summon me back to the Central Plains, even if I am forbidden in the palace every day, it is better than staying in Liaoyang City. Yang Mian said dissatisfiedly.

Yu Wenhua and Yang Mian are the same kind of people, as early as a few years ago, the two were already a pair of good friends. At this time, Yu Wenhua also wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Lord Fan is really, since Lord Chen has almost calmed down these Qiu Ba, why bother to make more trouble." The land in Liaodong is all worthless fields, what is there to be reluctant to. More is more than that, and it's not the land of Guanlong. Fortunately, I went to the domestic city to serve as the Taishou, otherwise I wouldn't dare to stay in Liaoyang City. These Qiu Ba are too lawless. ”

The veteran Dong Chun stood behind Yang Bing and said softly, "Actually, you can't blame those officers, they were just farmers, but they were lucky enough to follow Chen Pojun, but they pacified Liaodong City, made such a great achievement, and jumped from a peasant to a lieutenant colonel." In essence, they are still peasants, and they only like to take advantage of small profits.

In fact, the prince doesn't have to be too jealous of them, although these people are not polite, they also understand military discipline. Did you see Chen Pojun step forward just now? A few words can calm these officers. ”,

Yang Mian shook his head, "This Liaodong is too dangerous, this king doesn't want to stay any longer, I won't enter Liaoyang City." I sat in my camp outside the city, and when my father's decree came down, the king went back to the Central Plains, and he didn't stay for a moment. ”

Dong Chun was a little anxious when he heard it, he was a supporter of Yang Kan, and now that Yang had squinted to Liaodong, he felt that they still had a glimmer of hope. But now if he goes back, what awaits him will definitely be no day to turn over.

"Lord Wang, don't think like that. When you came, Your Majesty did not specify where your palace is, although Liaoyang City is still prosperous, but it has always been a battleground for soldiers in Liaodong, and a large fortress has been built early, and it has fought several times over the years, and there are many damages. In fact, the best place in Liaodong is still the Great Pyongyang, and the Daxing City on the edge of Pyongyang City was originally built in imitation of Xijing. And the climate of Pyongyang is warm, which is very different from the Central Plains, and not colder than Liaoyang City. Moreover, the Liaodong Army does not have many soldiers and horses in Pyongyang, and this time the minister is too guarded by Pyongyang, and the prince should set up the palace in Pyongyang City. There is no need to worry about these Liaodong soldiers and horses, it won't take a few days for Chen Pojun to disband them. ”

Yu Wenhua also nodded, his domestic county and Pyongyang are not too far away. "Lord Wang, I still want you to come forward in a while, you ask Lord Fan not to make any more troubles, and leave this matter to Lord Chen to deal with. It's just some wasteland, and it's not worth fighting for. In the future, we will stay in Liaodong, but we can't annoy these Qiu Ba. "This Liaodong is surrounded by several ethnic tribes, in case something happens at that time, they only have 10,000 horses, and at the critical moment, they still have to rely on these Liaodong soldiers and horses.

Basically, several people have already seen that there is definitely Chen Kefu's shadow in this matter. Whether it's arranged or connived, but such things are normal. Liaodong was defeated by Chen Kefu, he had military power in his hands, and he was the highest-ranking official in Liaodong.

However, they were suddenly transferred to Liaodong, and they belonged to the civilian local system of Liaodong in the future, but most of them themselves were also from the military system, and they had qualifications and prestige. Chen Kefu is now engaged in such a struggle for power in the officialdom when they come to Liaodong. This is the battle between the head snake and the river dragon, and now Yu Wenhua, Dong Chun and others understand that the strong guest does not suppress the lord, no matter what happens in the future, the current level can only let Chen Kefu first.

Yang Kan and a few people walked in front of Chen Kefu, "Brother Pojun, you must not have any misunderstanding with Lord Fan. The old man has only stayed in the court for a long time, and he has not adapted to the situation in Liaodong for a while. The land of Liaodong can be compared with the Central Plains. What's more, these were originally earned back by the soldiers with their lives, so how could there be any reason for bargaining. We all feel that your previous proposal is very good, and we all support you. You see, Xiao Wang invited the old man down, and next, I would like to invite you to preside over the exchange of military merits. Everything is up to you, and you are guaranteed that there will be no recurrence. ”

With Yang Mian coming forward, the next thing will be easy to do. Fan Zigai was reluctantly called down by Yang Mian, and Chen Kefu returned to power and continued the previous exchange plan. Sure enough, as soon as Chen Kefu came to power, the officers below stopped clamoring. The whole exchange plan is very simple, Chen Kefu has set the conditions, and the next thing only needs to be recorded in the military merit book, and the previous reward will be combined, and then exchanged one by one.

Although he was not promoted to an official in the end, he was able to get so much land, and the soldiers were also satisfied. A year ago, most people were just poor people with one or twenty acres of thin land at home, but now they have three or four hundred acres of land at once, and even if these lands are poor, they are still hundreds of acres of land. Even if you take turns farming, you can still keep your temper and even be a rich man.

After the military merit was exchanged, Chen Kefu simply announced on the stage that the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Xing Battalion would divide the harm. Everything was carried out according to the previous plan, a large number of recruits and infantry were included in the government army, and a total of nearly 80,000 people were disarmed. They were given another piece of land, and after they were given this land, they were all government soldiers for generations, and they had to prepare their own equipment in the future. In non-war times, except for three months of assembly training and encampment, the rest of the time, they are farmers and farm at home.

The rest of the soldiers and horses, some of them are town soldiers, and most of the troops concentrated here are the engineer troops in the camp, most of them are infantry, and a small number of cavalry. Of the more than 20,000 soldiers in the county, most of them were infantry and archers.

King Liao and others originally thought that the dissolution of this camp would be resisted by Chen Kefu. Even if it doesn't seem to be clear, there will definitely be some small actions to come out, Yang Feng yΔ«n violation, delay or something.

But now seeing that Chen Kefu had come up with the plan to divide the soldiers and horses so quickly, Yu Juluo and the others were a little surprised. The government soldiers are not under the control of the local government, and the town soldiers are not under their control, but the county soldiers are nominally under their control.

As soon as the order to divide the army was announced, many officers did not react much. On the contrary, many officers were very happy, after all, they had been allocated so much land, and it would be the best if they didn't have to stay in the barracks.

Chen Kefu took Yang Kan, the king of Liao, and others to welcome him into his marshal's mansion in the inner city, which has now been changed to the mansion of the Liao State. As soon as he entered the mansion, as soon as he sat down and drank a few sips of tea, Chen Kefu handed Yang Mian a handscroll.

Liao Wang Yang opened it and looked at it, and sighed in surprise, "Oh my God, this, I'm afraid this is not suitable!" β€œοΌγ€‚
