"The Remnants of Kangxi"

http://book./book/37412.html

The concept of "Kangqian Prosperous Age", which originally existed only in the books of shameless literati touting slave owners, was eliminated from the beginning. Kangxi? This is the chaff of the children of the Eight Banners. Spirit? This is the remnants of the barbaric Manchu Dynasty!

——

Hong Jixun stood up, turned to the hall, his eyes were blazing, he looked at the ministers, and asked, "May I ask you, dukes, are you fighting for An Feng in this battle?" Or is it for Haidong? ”

Monk Li, Bi Qianniu and other generals responded and said: "Naturally, I will fight for the lord." ”

Hong Jixun's question was asked too suddenly, and Ji Zongzhou, Zhang Yu and other ministers didn't react at once, and looked at each other. Zhang Yu raised his feet and wanted to step across the class to speak. Ji Zongzhou covered his hand with his sleeve and quietly dragged him back again. Zhang Yu turned his head slightly, Ji Zongzhou pretended not to know, and only went up to the hall to look. In the hall, Deng She'an sat still, taking all this in his eyes.

Ju Sheng strode out of the ranks, arched his hand, as if answering Hong Jixun, and said to Deng She: "What the two generals Li and Bi said is very true. In this battle, of course, I Yidu won under the command of the lord. Hong Jixun asked everyone who was fighting for, but Ju Sheng replied that he won under the command of Deng She. With a light and clever sentence, Hong Jixun's original intention was taken away.

Deng She smiled, followed his words, nodded at him, and said, "This battle can be won thanks to your efforts. How can the court give all the credit to the king? But there is a suspicion of sycophancy. It is also to avoid the real and the false, pretending not to understand Hong Jixun's meaning, and bringing a pen with him.

He then said to everyone: "Mr. Hong's two 'rewards need to be equal' have won my heart. Ladies and gentlemen, this reward title, 'the official lord needs to be flat', let's not talk about it for the time being. It only says 'civil and military needs to be peaceful'. What are your opinions? If you have an opinion, just put it forward! ”

Ju Sheng said: "Mr. Hong put forward the three principles of 'from the weight', 'from the peace' and 'from the broad', which is indeed a very important principle. But should there be another one? ”

"Oh? Add a strip of what? ”

"The reward should not be too high."

Although Ju Sheng's words meant to agree with Hong Jixun's opinion, saying that "the three principles proposed by Hong Jixun are very important", Hong Jixun said that the reward should be "heavy", and he came to a "reward should not be too high", which is actually a euphemistic opposition to the "heavy" article.

Dunshe asked, "Why?" ”

"There must be a lot of civilian, military, and soldiers who have made meritorious contributions this time. The ministers thought that the lord should reward them heavily. However, this time the hero was also rewarded for the first time since the lord entered the Central Plains. In this battle, although Chahan retreated, his strength was not damaged. It can be expected that there will be many wars in the future. If the starting point of this reward is too high, what about the next rewards?

"The Lord and the Ministers shall make the statutes. The minister thinks that this charter should not only determine how to reward this time, but also how to reward in the future. Therefore, the minister thought that the reward should not be too high. ”

Ju Sheng's opinion is also quite correct. In fact, he was proposing to Deng She, taking the opportunity of this reward to simply determine the system of Haidong's reward for meritorious heroes. Haidong originally also had a reward system, but it was only limited to the army, and only according to the size of the military merits. Strictly speaking, it can only be called military law, not the reward system. There are no clear rules and regulations.

This proposal was in Deng She's mind, and he was overjoyed, praised Ju Sheng, and said, "What a big eye! Well said. ……。 So, how do you think this system should be regulated? What should be used as a criterion? Is there a model of the previous dynasty that you can refer to? ”

"Fang is in war today, and the first thing is to make great achievements. Counting the previous dynasties, if you talk about the prosperity of martial arts, there is no Qin and Han dynasties. The lord of Qin and Han, the marquis of liege, the marquis of Guannei and below, the score is four and twenty levels. Below the eighth level is a civil lord, and above the eighth level is an official lord. Whenever there is a battle, the soldier beheads the enemy by one level, and he can be knighted by one level. Officers, on the other hand, are to be given the rank of knighthood by 200 according to the number of beheadings of their subordinate units, and the beheading of the enemy at 33 or more is considered a full merit, and officers of all ranks are also awarded knighthood. The minister thought that the system of knighthood in the Qin and Han dynasties might be useless if it was placed in a peaceful and prosperous era, but it was the most suitable for use at the moment. ”

Deng She said: "Qin and Han knights? ”

"Counting the previous dynasties, if you talk about the prosperity of martial arts, there is no Qin and Han dynasties." This sentence is not all true, half true. The martial arts of the Sui and Tang dynasties were also very prosperous. However, the knighthood system of the Sui and Tang dynasties was roughly rewarded according to the princes and uncles. These titles have long been conventional, and all dynasties must have been rewarded only by the imperial court. The reason why Ju Sheng only said Qin and Han and not Sui and Tang was because he wanted to imitate the words of the Sui and Tang dynasties and reward the meritorious heroes as "princes and uncles", and they would definitely not be able to bypass An Feng. Haidong is inevitably suspected of trespassing.

However, if according to the knighthood of the Qin and Han dynasties, since the Qin and Han dynasties, basically no one has used it, and it is slightly changed, and it can be done without incident. Just like Deng She's subordinate to Haidong Province, he also set up Liaoyang, North Korea, South Korea, and Yidu Provinces. What are provinces? In fact, it is also a province. But with a different name, you can say so-so. As long as he does not challenge the authority of the imperial court with a clear banner, even if An Feng, who lives in a remote corner, is dissatisfied with this, it is the time to employ people, but he has nothing to do but turn a blind eye and close one eye.

In fact, not only did Deng She do this, but also Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangnan, the name of "sub-province", he also used it, and once set up "Jiangnan sub-province".

Deng She pondered and asked Hong Jixun, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Hong Jixun was impressed by Ju Sheng, and the two of them had the same thoughts. It's just that Hong Jixun thought a little deeper, and he said: "The ministers basically agree with the opinions of Ju Yiyuan. Only one thing. Qin and Han were knighted, and there were four levels and twenty ranks, which was inevitably a little more. In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to be simple and simple, and the Han Wu Dynasty has turned the 20-level title into the eleventh level, thinking that it is a special martial arts knight and a special military merit.

"The minister thinks that the lord seems to be able to consider it."

Deng She thought for a while, but he didn't say no, didn't agree or disagree, and asked: "Qin Han's military lord system, according to the opinions of the two of you, seems to be good. But I have a question, why don't you see a useful one in the later dynasties? Are there any drawbacks? ”

"In the Qin Dynasty and the early Western Han Dynasty, the number of sieges and land grabbed, the number of enemy heads, and the level of officials who killed and captured the enemy were taken as the criteria for meritorious service, and they were awarded knighthoods by grade. Its original intention was to reward military merits. However, after Emperor Jing, the world gradually became peaceful, and the knighthood gradually began to flow lightly and indiscriminately, often as a means of Boon and raising court revenue, and its original intention of rewarding military merits was gradually lost. Titles can be bought with money, which naturally loses its glory, resulting in no one paying attention to it.

In order to encourage the soldiers to fight against the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu once again rewarded military exploits. Launched the eleventh level of martial arts. Although it played a certain role, it was also because it could be bought and sold, and it was easy to get a high lord. Therefore, it is actually quite contrary to the original intention of awarding knighthoods for military merits.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the twentieth rank system was restored. However, the titles of the Eastern Han Dynasty were limited to generals and ordinary soldiers, and there was no reason to ask for them. Even if you get a low-ranking title, there is no benefit. Therefore, its appeal to the military is not great. Someone commented: 'When the ancients were knighted, the people were happy when they gave the knighthood, and they were afraid when they took the title.' Therefore, you can win the title and the law. Now the lord is in ruins, the people don't know what the lord is, take it, the people are not afraid, give it, the people don't like it. It's an empty paperwork and useless. ’

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the original liehous and Guannei marquis, many false marquis were added. However, because it is not rented, it is worthless, and the recipient is not allowed to benefit, so the soldiers are not interested in it. To sum up, the knighthood of the Qin and Han dynasties had good intentions, but in the process of using it, it was not possible to achieve fairness and clarity. Therefore, after hundreds of years, it gradually disappeared. ”

"The intention is good, but it is not used properly."

"Exactly. Looking at it from a minister's point of view, the lord of the Qin and Han dynasties is not wrong, and the lord can use it arrogantly. Only in the process of using it, it is still the minister's sentence: 'need to be peaceful'. There is a saying in the Book of Shang Jun: 'When the people are exhausted, the lord will follow, and the meritorious service will be rewarded, and the king can make the people believe in this place like the sun and the moon, and the army will be invincible.'" ’

"As long as the reward of knighthood is purely based on military law, and does not mix with the personal feelings of the likes and dislikes of the lord, it will certainly be of great benefit to encouraging military merits and cohesion of morale."

Mr. Shicai said that he was knighted at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was only an empty name, and there was no benefit. What does that mean? ”

"The knighthood at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is like the knighthood of Cao Wei. Cao Cao abolished the twentieth rank and the martial arts lord, and set the title of the ninth class, including the king, the duke, and the marquis. In addition, there are various marquis such as the Marquis of the name Marquis and the Marquis of Guanzhong. The name of the marquis is the name of the marquis in the name of the state and county in the country. However, it has no name, no fiefdom and no food. It seems to show its glory, but once it is light and indiscriminate, it will be lost to everyone. It's like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to abandon it. Therefore, the minister called it 'only empty name, no benefit'. ”

"How to give benefits?"

"The twentieth rank of the Qin Dynasty can be treated according to the rank of a man, a servant, a tax, an official position, exemption from forced labor, and even forgiveness of the crimes of himself and his relatives. In terms of the people's lords: the soldiers beheaded the enemy at the first level, rewarded the knights at the first level, and exempted the whole family from conscription and taxes. The soldier beheaded one enemy officer, rewarded the first class, gave one hectare of land, nine acres of house, and one concubine. In normal times, every month, the concubine was required to serve six days of labor in the master's house. During the war, the concubine went out to serve with the Lord. It can be described as a strict hierarchy and clear rewards.

"Merit is rewarded, not only honored, but also beneficial. With this march, why not break the enemy? "Shuzi" is equivalent to serfs and the like.

Hong Jixun paused, and then said: "Having said that, although the lord's previous reward for meritorious soldiers in the army did not use the military lord system of the Qin and Han dynasties, it actually has the same effect. For all the meritorious soldiers, the lord has rewarded the land of South Korea and North Korea, which not only rewards the meritorious service, but also helps the king to transform the place. People of insight in the world see the same thing. The lord is wise and martial, and the capital of the sky. The minister expressed his deep admiration. ”

It's a rarity. Hong Jixun is a person who never slaps sycophants, and for the first time, he actually put a high hat on Deng She. Suddenly, Deng She was a little uncomfortable. He smiled and asked, "The people can be rewarded according to this, and how should the officials be rewarded?" ”

"In the Qin system, people below level 7 are people, and officials level 7 and above. The Duke is the seventh rank and the lowest rank. From this level and above, you can compete with the county order. Seventh-level public doctor, eighth-level public passenger. Passengers on the bus, who are not in the event of a war, can take the bus. The five doctors of the ninth level, and the five doctors who have obtained the knighthood, can eat 300 households. To the twentieth level of the princes, the golden seal and purple ribbon, the son of heaven, and the food can reach 10,000 households. ”

The dividing line between a civil and an official is still very clear. The benefits of the Lords are mostly related to daily life, and a little more financially. Officials are not only financially beneficial, but also highly preferential in politics.

The territory that Dunshe now controls is only a few provinces. If this reward is followed, the ninth level can eat 300 households, and 10 five doctors, which is 3,000 households. If the reward is too much, I am afraid that it will greatly affect the revenue of the provincial treasury. He asked, "What Mr. Shicai said, I thought that Qin Jue was a little more than twenty ranks." What if the Martial Emperor eleventh level martial arts lord is rewarded? ”

"That's pretty much the same. It can be divided into high and low lords. The high lord is the official lord, and the low lord is the civil lord.

"Soldiers, people, and officials may be given titles of the people, but not of officials. Only generals and officials can be knighted. Regardless of whether the lord or the official lord, if you get the title, you can get the corresponding rewards. Those who have made great contributions, regardless of officials and people, can shadow one of their sons. There are ten days in the heavens, and there are ten ranks. 'Don't judge people by their origins, but only by their military merits. Although the title is low, meritorious service is promoted. If the rank is high, there will be a punishment.

"If the lord can do this, then the soldiers of the strong Qin will definitely appear today."

Hong Jixun's overall concept is simply outlined in these few sentences.

Following the Qin system, the title was divided into two parts. The people are given to the people, and the officials are given to the officials. If you make a meritorious service, you will be awarded a knighthood. If you make a mistake, you can win the title. After taking away the title, the corresponding benefits will of course also be taken back. If the rewards and punishments are strict, the three armies will work together and the people will be of one heart. In other words, he wants to use this knighthood system to completely unite Haidong and build it into a war machine.

Before Deng She could speak, Monk Li on the side heard a question and asked, "Didn't Mr. say that martial arts lords are only awarded military merits?" It is natural that a soldier can get a knighthood. But how can the people and the officials get the people's lordship? ”

"In the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, there was also a system. If the people donate a number of millet, they can get a knighthood. "If the people offer a certain amount of food, they can also get knighthoods. The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. When marching and fighting, the importance of food and salary does not need to be mentioned. This can also be regarded as a military feat. Monk Li nodded and stopped talking.

"Sir's view is very good." After pondering for a long time, Dunsher made a decision and said, "But I have two proposals. Say it, please discuss. First of all, the eleventh-level martial arts lord of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whose name is Taigu, if it is copied today, there will be many people who do not understand its meaning. If you don't know what it means, you will think it is strange. If you think it is strange, you will lose its solemnity. Therefore, the names of the titles at all levels need to be changed. Also, don't use the name 'Martial Arts Jue' in general,......, just call it a 'military rank'. ”

"Military rank?"

"It's like an official and a knight. 100 households, 1,000 households are officials, and eleventh class is the title. Is that good? Deng She was cautious, if he used the name of "Wugong Jue", it still meant transgression. Referring to it as a "military rank" can be interpreted as a reform of the military system. This is entirely a matter in the military, and has nothing to do with knighthood.

Everyone immediately understood Deng She's intentions, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, the relevant rewards of different titles. Minjue, can be according to the Qin system. Give them fields, give them houses, and exempt them from servitude. But with the title of forgiveness and the two concubines, I think it will be forgiven. You can give more economic preferential treatment at the local level. For example, I have a system in Haidong, and if there are military servants at home, you can go to the * store to buy things, and you can give preferential treatment. Cooperatives should also give more help to the organization of spring ploughing. If you get a knighthood, you can get more discounts.

"As for the officials, the food can be given. The minimum does not have to start at 300 households, 30 households is sufficient, and the maximum cannot exceed 1,000 households. Each household will receive a certain amount of money, which will be distributed together with the money on a monthly basis. I remember that in the former Song Dynasty, the actual sealed mining was worth 25 wen per household. Now in wartime, soldiers need to die, this amount is a bit small, and today's money system is also different from that of the Song Dynasty. Consider it again, and add as you please. How is it? ”

Hong Jixun and others had no objection and took the order.

I will add these two items. Go back and make a statement, and show it to me. Deng She picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of water, and suddenly remembered something, he originally wanted to discuss the "civil and military needs to be leveled" first, but because of Ju Sheng's interruption, he discussed the official first, and said with a smile, "It is said that the civil and military affairs need to be leveled first, Ju Big-eyed, was interrupted by you, but the official was discussed first." Ladies and gentlemen, let's get down to business.

"'Civil and military needs to be peaceful', what do you think?"

Although the official system is important, it is a long-term thing. In terms of the present, it is still the most important 'civil and military peace', which involves the vital interests of everyone. Therefore, not only was Deng She interested, but everyone was also in good spirits. Hong Jixun said: "Since the name is 'Ping'. Of course, 'flat' should be the most important. What is 'Ping'? Five-five points can be flat. The minister thought that this reward, half of the civil and military, was the best. ”

In this battle, Wenchen's contribution is indeed not small. There are those who assist the generals in battle, and there are those who supervise the transportation of grain and grass across the sea. Deng She's ability to hold out until Chahan withdrew his troops was indispensable. However, Hong Jixun was from the perspective of Wenchen, and Monk Li and others were immediately dissatisfied.

Bi Qianniu once served as the captain of Deng She's personal soldiers, and he was relatively stable and dissatisfied, but he refused to come forward first.

Monk Li took care of him three seven twenty-one, and immediately jumped out and said: "Half civil and military, say it lightly!" Lord Hong, tens of thousands of people were killed in our Haidong Army in this battle, although the civilian officials have some merits, how can they be compared? The lord and the minister think that three or seven points is the best. "The generals have not yet competed for merit, and the civil and military have competed for merit first.

Hong Jixun sneered and said, "If you don't have a strategy, how can you win a thousand miles?" ”

"Isn't the bloody battle of tens of thousands of soldiers irrelevant?"

"My so-called 'five-five division' originally refers to the reward of the official. What are the soldiers fighting for? The sergeant is bloody, and he has his own lord to be rewarded. Moreover, the civil and military are equal, and the Confucianism and respect for the lord can be shown, which will be of great use to attract the heroes from all over the world. Lord, it is necessary to have five or five. ”

"If you divide it according to five, how do you divide it?"

"The fifth civil official can be divided into Haidong and Shandong. Shandong is the main battlefield, and it can be the third. Haidong is for supplies, and you can get two of them. Shandong should also focus on Yidu, because Yidu is the hub, which is the most important place. Haidong should also be dominated by Pyongyang, because Pyongyang supervises the transportation of grain and wages, which is also the most important point for transshipment and supply. ”

"The fifth military attaché, how to divide them?"

"If there is no retreat from the death battle of the Shandong army, although the reinforcements arrive, it will be useless. Therefore, the fifth military attache should also focus on the Shandong army, and the third can be obtained. Reinforcements can be used for two.

"In the armies of Shandong, General Chen stuck to Tai'an and tried his best to ensure that our important town was not lost. Gao Yanshi and Li Zifan were in danger of Mount Tai, and 2,000 people fought to only 500 left, which was tragic and unbearable. Yidu resisted the enemy, and the generals Li, Bi, Guo, and Liu all had meritorious service, especially the most important. Therefore, three points in Shandong, two points should be attributed to Tai'an, Taishan, and Yidu. ”

Deng She's eyelids jumped, and he glanced up at Hong Jixun. Hong Jixun looked solemn and said, "There are two more reinforcements." Zhang Ji'er went to aid Yidu, and made great contributions to forcing Chahan away, although his army was small, it seemed that he could get a point alone. Another point, Wen Pingzhang's department and the sailor Liu Yang can share it. ”

"'Yidu resists the enemy, Li, Bi, Guo, and Liu Zhu generals'?" Monk Li was surprised and said, "Li, take it for me." Bi, when the old Bi. Guo, when Guo Conglong. Liu, who is it? ”

"Liu Guo."

"What credit does Liu Guo have? What is he Liu Jue from? Brother, right? Liu Qi's Jinan Rebellion caused our army to be defeated. Although Liu Guo helped to defend the capital, he did not make an inch. On what basis is he rewarded? Not only was Monk Li at a loss, but Bi Qianniu and the others were also inexplicable.

Hong Jixun's face did not move, and he said slowly: "In this battle, the old army of Shandong suffered heavy losses. Chahan retreated, and it was necessary to prevent chaos. Therefore, I think that although Liu Guo has no great merit, he is like a horse bone, and rewarding it can soothe the heart of the old army in Shandong. He bowed to Deng She and said, "This is the foolishness of the minister, is it feasible?" It's up to the Lord to decide. ”

Deng She just smiled, did not give an evaluation, and said: "The basis for Mr. Wenwu's division of merit is reasonable. However, Lao Li's opinion is not wrong. It is estimated that the casualties of this battle will not be less than tens of thousands. If the reward is thin, I am afraid that I will inevitably lose the meaning of Mr. 'reward from the level'. That's it, Wen Siwu Liu.

"Chahan is menacing, although our Shandong army has worked hard and made great achievements, the Haidong reinforcements are also outstanding. As Mr. said, such as Zhang Xiao'er, he led his troops to travel hundreds of miles in a hurry, broke the enemy's ambush, and helped the capital, and made great contributions. Wen Pingzhang divided the army into two ways, combined the virtual and the real, defeated the thieves of Huashan, and met the army of Zhao Guo, which was also a great merit. Just to reward the school, it seems that Shandong cannot be alone.

"Lao Li, you are concurrently serving as an official of the Privy Council, how should you be rewarded, after the various armies hand over the merit book, you can cooperate with Wen Pingzhang to draw up a list with me. Luckily? ”

"Your Ministers obey."

"That's it for now!" For some reason, Deng She suddenly seemed to have something on his mind, and the matters that should have been discussed in detail were explained in three or two sentences, and he didn't wait for everyone to retire, got up by himself, and entered the back hall.

Hong Jixun and the others dispersed separately. Bi Qianniu didn't leave. His identity is different from that of others, and he is more intimate with Dunshe. Although the commander of any of the ya, when he was the same as Deng She*, he was still the captain of the pro-soldier at that time. He chased after Deng She, and also came to the back hall, and saw Deng She pacing back and forth, thoughtful.

He asked, "My lord, what are you thinking?" ”

Dunshe was silent.

Bi Qianniu guessed: "Can it be Ji, Zhang, and Ju?" He glanced at Deng She's face and said, "Earlier, Mr. Hong asked his ministers who he was fighting this battle for. The minister also noticed that Ji Zongzhou and Zhang Yu had some small moves. Ju Sheng took the initiative to lure Mr. Hong's words away.

"Is the lord worried about the intentions of Shandong's ministers because of this?"

Ji Zongzhou is more than wise and sleek. The reason why he grabbed Zhang Yu was just because he didn't know Deng She's intentions. I don't know what Hong Jixun said, whether it was Deng She's meaning or his own meaning. Therefore, it is not surprising that he is reluctant to speak rashly.

And Ju Sheng changed the subject, not because of opposition. If he objected, according to his temper, he would definitely argue with Hong Jixun on the spot. Therefore, he should simply think that it is too early to make such a proposal. Deng She knew the personalities of Ji Zongzhou, Ju Sheng and others well, and he was not worried about it.

So, as far as Deng She is concerned, does he agree with Hong Jixun or Ju Sheng? Hong Jixun didn't discuss with him before, but from his later responses, it can actually be seen that he agrees with Ju Sheng. Although he has always had little surrender to the Anfeng court, he is only now based in Yidu, and there are strong enemies outside, so he also thinks that it is too early to propose self-reliance at this time.

It's just that these words are not for outsiders. Therefore, although Bi Qianniu was a cronie and confidant, after listening to his question, Deng She only shook his head and did not answer directly.

"What is the lord thinking?"

Deng She was thinking about Hong Jixun's division of merit. If it is understandable that Hong Jixun proposed half of the civil and military forces, then in his later words, he would rather risk offending the Haidong reinforcements and faintly attribute most of the credit to Shandong, which is a bit abrupt. Deng She muttered, "Liu Guo." Liu Guo. ”

In the end, Hong Jixun's opinion is based on public interest, or is it mixed with selfish interests? Deng She has been in a high position for a long time, and the high place is unbearable, and it is inevitable that he will involuntarily become more suspicious and vigilant about the wind and grass of his subordinates.
