The third is to ask for collections and recommendations

At the beginning of night, in the city of Yangzhou, Xia Dafudi on Maqian Street was brightly lit, and there were two large square tables in the flower hall, on which there were gold bottles of fine wine, jade plates and delicacies, scattered and mixed - the Song Dynasty seemed to have no round tables, and the banquet used a long table and a large square table. The last time Chen Dexing went to the banquet at Fusi Yamen, he saw a long table, but this time he saw a large square table.

The seating of the banquet is also strictly regulated, divided into the host seat and the guest seat, and the guest seat must decide who sits in which seat according to the status and intimacy. Although Chen Dexing is now the head of the army, his own official rank is still from Jiupin Chengxinlang, and as usual, he can't serve on the table, so he can only put a few cases outside the door and eat casually. However, Xia Bao, who is in charge of the east today, is not a stupid person, so he naturally will not offend Chen Dexing, who has already "supported ten thousand people" - although Jia Rudao did not immediately incorporate the more than 7,000 reformed people into Chen Dexing's artillery army, he still tacitly agreed that the artillery army was responsible for taking care of them.

The head of this army of "supporting ten thousand people" is on the ground of Lianghuai, and now it is Xia Gui and Chen Dexing! The rise of the Anfeng Chen family is already a sure thing - and this rise is really based on a lot of credit! This Chen Dexing's ability to fight, no one in the Jiangmen leaders present is unconvinced. Therefore, Xia Bao arranged Chen Dexing by his master's side, and no one raised any objections.

Bohua was captured, and the Red Jacket Army went north, which meant that the battle between the two Huai was a complete victory. Except for Lu Zhaoqi, the master of the Lu family's generals, whose face was gloomy, the rest of the generals were relieved and beaming.

When everyone arrived, Xia Bao said: "The war between the two Huai is finally over, and we will also have a celebration banquet tonight!" ”

Everyone applauded, and even Lu Zhaoqi barely managed to squeeze out some smiles - although his Xiongsheng army collapsed under the attack of the Mongolian cavalry, because the artillery army designed to blow up thousands of Mongols, and also killed Yeliugan, so that the whole army won a big victory, so Jia Rudao did not pursue it.

He also approved 100 Tartar heads and 500 heads of the Han army in the north to Lu Zhaoqi. This time, Chen Dexing didn't eat alone anymore, he already had his own team and basic plate, so there was no need to be hated so much.

Although it is not the first merit of the good talk, it can finally make the Lu family produce more than a dozen officials, and barely maintain the status of the general. However, these new officials cannot be compared with the veterans of the Lu family who died in battle, most of them are young masters who have not fought hard battles and are very ordinary in martial arts and military arts, and some are even scribes who are ready to take the imperial examination...... If this Lu family general does not have a famous general of the level of Lu Wende and Xia Gui in the next one or two decades, it is inevitable that he will be completely weakened.

As the head of the Jiangmen, Lu Zhaoqi now needs to think about seeking a way out for the entire family and preserving his vitality in order to revive in the future, rather than continuing to be angry with Chen Dexing, a rising general - and he already knows that Jia Yidao has great expectations for Chen Dexing's three-story pulp ship that can fight against the current in the Sichuan River. At this time, if you want to jump out and provoke Chen Dexing, just wait to be killed by Jia Nidao! Lu Zhaoqi, who can be the master of an army and create a general of the Lu family who can once be compared with the Lu family and the Xia family, will not do such a stupid thing.

Seeing Lu Zhaoqi's sluggish appearance, Chen Dexing also sighed secretly in his heart - the Lu family's vitality was damaged, but it did not collapse in the end! It's just that he can't beat the water dog now, otherwise Lu Wende and Xia Gui will definitely not be used to it, this Lu Zhaoqi is an elder of the Anfeng department after all. For the time being, I can only be careful......

Xia Bao said the scene of flowers, and the people below also laughed and echoed, raising their glasses again and again for this and that. Mei Ji, who was serving in the flower hall, was even more attentive to the food and poured wine, serving the generals.

After Xia Bao's words were finished, it was Chen De's turn to get up, he held the wine glass in one hand, put away his smile, and said solemnly: "In the two battles of Baohe and Yangzi Bridge, although the armies of Wuhuai and Huaishang won a great victory, there were also many casualties among the soldiers. There are at least 12,000 good men shrouded in horseskin, and this cup of wine is a tribute to the souls of these brave men in heaven. ”

Chen Dexing spilled the wine on the ground, and then said: "The corpses of these twelve thousand good brothers have not been properly collected at the moment, and there are still two or three thousand soldiers with crippled limbs who have no way to continue to serve in the army, so many wives and children and parents have to support...... Although the official family will have a pension, but it is not good for us generals who rely on the soldiers to get rich and noble, right? Why don't we go to the same time and ask the officials to allocate some ownerless fields to the dead and disabled generals and meritorious soldiers, so that they can also get a share of the inheritance. ”

Hearing Chen Dexing's words, the faces of the generals present suddenly became gloomy, and they all remained silent - the matter of distributing land to soldiers is a bit of a ruin! The same land, the two Huai generals themselves divided, the above will not say anything, now is not the peace of the peace, although the court and civil officials are still suppressing the martial arts, but still made a lot of concessions. Let the warriors make a big profit, such as Lu Wende, Xia Gui, Lu Zhaoqi, and other martial artists of this level, all of whom are richer than princes.

But to divide the land among the soldiers below, this nature is immediately different! Everyone knows that there is not much room for small farmers to survive in the current Great Song Dynasty. If you want to keep the land under the threat of the Hemai system and the officials, you must have a background and a backer. And those who can act as the backers of these soldiers are naturally the generals who are assigned to them.

In this way, the soldiers will be financially dependent on the generals! The soldiers fought for the generals, and the lords allocated land to them and provided protection, which is the real feudal land ownership! The general is the king, and the soldier is the vassal! In contrast, the "feudal land ownership system" built on the basis of buying and selling in later generations was at most a disguised and disguised, a feudalism that was neither feudal nor built.

"We are all old, and we only want to have some land to pass on to our descendants."

Lu Zhaoqi's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said lightly: "Chen Dutong's young hero is the pillar of the country's future, so why don't you try this method in the artillery army first." ”

Xia Bao shook his head slightly, this is to put Chen Dexing on the fire!

Chen Dexing said solemnly: "I have this intention, if your predecessors are not willing to play with Dexing, then Dexing will not disturb the purity of the official family for such a trivial matter, so he will buy some land out of his own pocket and distribute it to the artillery sergeants." ”

That's not a way to protect your family! Xia Bao frowned, he owed Chen Dexing's blessing in the battle of the Yangtze Bridge a few days ago, and his meritorious service was not small, and he could be promoted to a junior official (regular official) at his sight. So I have a good impression of Chen Dexing, and I don't want to see him follow in the footsteps of Yue Wumu and Yu Qiaoyin.

He just wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but Lu Zhaoqi opened his mouth first: "Since Chen Dutong loves soldiers like sons, the old man will also help one or two...... The old man has 10,000 acres of good land in the northwest of Yangzhou City, and he is ready to sell, so he will pay 10,000 yuan and let Chen Dutong! ”

Of course, Chen Dexing knew that Lu Zhaoqi didn't have any good intentions, but he still stood up and crossed his hands, and said with a smile: "That junior will replace the 2,000 soldiers of the artillery army, thank you Zuo Wu for your kindness." ”

Hearing Chen Dexing say this, Xia Bao just sighed softly and didn't say anything more. The banquet lasted until late at night, and the charter on how to distribute the "ownerless fields" between the two Huai was also agreed upon at the banquet. In principle, as long as there is an official status, everyone can participate, and the allocable land can be determined according to the rank of the official - of course, it must be calculated from the Chengxin Lang who has obtained the official status, and all those who are newly promoted to the Chengxin Lang can occupy 500 mu of land, and then the first-order official can occupy an additional 500 mu, and the Yaojun official can occupy 3,000 mu of land if he is promoted to a higher rank, and if he is promoted to a regular position, he can add another 5,000 mu......
