Chapter 0428 I Want to Divide the Seal, Who Agrees and Who Opts?
An unprecedented 'celebration', coupled with the establishment of the Han Martyrs' Cemetery, the joyful atmosphere brought by the First Battle of Mayi could not help but be covered with a heavy veil;
But this heaviness did not dissipate the joy of Ma Yi's victory, but made this victory more and more valuable.
In fact, before this ingenious 'celebration' and the establishment of the Han Martyrs' Cemetery, the Han family's compensity for the soldiers in the army, especially the fallen soldiers, was never small.
According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang himself, when a soldier 'dies the king', that is, sacrifices his life for the country, according to the regulations, a direct commander who is two levels higher than the fallen soldiers needs to be responsible for his funeral.
For example, when an ordinary soldier dies in battle, he is responsible for the chief, which is the 'chief of ten' in the popular sense;
Wu Chang, that is, Wu Bai, that is, the 'five chiefs' in the popular sense, died in battle, and the one in charge was the tun chief, that is, the 'fifty chiefs'.
If Shi Chang dies in battle, Qu Hou, that is, 'centurion' in the popular sense, is needed to personally be responsible for the person's funeral.
Further up, that is, the first level of the tun commander and above, at least the first level of the captain needs to come forward in person.
The 'responsible for funeral matters' here includes but is not limited to: paying out of his own pocket to purchase coffins and coffins for the dead, collecting the remains of the deceased, and personally returning the remains to their homes.
After the body is returned, they will also help the family of the martyr to organize the funeral and bear all necessary expenses within the scope of their ability.
In addition, the court's bereavement pension is counted separately.
For the army in the feudal era, such a pension treatment is actually quite good.
- At least compared to later generations, those who have been killed in battle for many years, but are still 'alive' in the soldiers' book, and are drunk by the officers to drink the blood of soldiers.
However, compared with this already good pension treatment for fallen soldiers, after the First Battle of Mayi, a series of pension standards introduced by Liu Ying today have made the entire government and the opposition drop their jaws······
What 'the dead have three heads of military merit by default' and 'the god card is dedicated to the martyrs' cemetery', this is not to be mentioned;
The plaque of 'Heroic Martyrs' alone is enough to make countless people dumbfounded, and they don't know how to refute it.
Coupled with all the other things, there was a discordant voice inside and outside the government and the opposition.
It's just that compared with this discordant voice that appeared above the government and the opposition, Liu Ying still cares more about the people's views on her move.
After all, Liu Ying, the son of heaven, is not the son of heaven of the ministers and officials;
Liu Hansheji is not 'the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together'······
"The Art of War: The reward is not overdue, and the punishment is not aftermath;"
"The rewards of meritorious soldiers should be done quickly!"
Weiyang Palace, Xuanshu Palace.
With a serious face, he gave such an order, and when Prime Minister Wang Ling, Imperial Historian Chen Ping, Inner History Zhang Cang, and Shaofu Yangcheng Yanqi all bowed down to receive the order, Liu Ying nodded with satisfaction.
Then, the topic naturally entered the core topic of today's small meeting.
- Reward.
Speaking of this, the serious look on Liu Ying's face was gradually replaced by a touch of relaxation and pleasure.
After all, no matter how you say it, this is also the first large-scale enthronement since Liu Ying inherited the throne.
Although there are still many founding fathers in the DPRK and China, who are shining for the young sons of heaven who are just in their early twenties, no matter how you say it, these founding fathers are not 'Liu Ying's courtiers' after all.
It may be puzzling to say this;
- The founding father of the country is a courtier of the Han family, and Liu Ying is the son of heaven of the Han family;
How could a courtier of the Han family not be a 'courtier of the Son of Heaven'?
In fact, situations like this are still common in today's era.
The reason is simple: today, it is still the early days of the establishment of the Han dynasty;
Not too many years have passed since Qin, and the Warring States period earlier than Qin.
Today's Han dynasty still retains a very strong legacy of the Warring States period in many aspects.
And this situation about 'the founding father is not Liu Ying's courtier' is a very representative reason in the legacy of the Warring States Period.
Because in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many famous ministers and wise men who went down in history, who were obviously born in this country, but for one reason or another, they were ultimately loyal to other countries.
At some point, there have even been extreme cases of a famous minister from country A who helped country B become strong and turned around and attacked country A.
For such a situation, at the very beginning, it must have been scolded by everyone in the world.
As for the content of Thoma, it is nothing more than a traitor, a traitor, and the like.
But as there are more and more such situations and more frequent occurrences, the protagonist's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and at the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period - the Warring States Period, the world's views on similar matters have also changed.
The former 'traitors' and 'traitors' have also barely reached the moral high ground in a relaxed public opinion environment, relying on the phrase 'each for his own master', and no longer have to be scolded by the people of the world for not serving the mother country.
But for such a group, that is, capable people who were born in other countries and came from other countries to serve in their own countries, the nations of the time did not always fully trust;
This group is also more commonly called: guest secretaries, rather than courtiers.
In this way, new problems arise.
——The first king found a guest secretary, who has been in power in the court for many years, and when the first king dies, the new king inherits the throne, what should I do?
Continued appointment?
I'm afraid it's hard for the new king to trust this 'guest qing';
But direct expulsion, or even killing, will be shameful to the people of the world.
As guest secretaries, these talented people who left other countries to give advice to other countries actually have the same concerns.
- I did my best for your father, but you let me die?
It was under such a tacit understanding, as well as the common goal and the need for one system, that an unwritten unspoken rule gradually spread among the nations at that time.
- Keqing is not a minister of a country, but a minister of one person.
To be more specific, the group of Keqing is not the 'friend' of the whole country, but the 'friend' of the king alone.
If the king is there, then this 'friend' is by the king's side, and no one can find anything wrong.
When the king dies, the guest who has lost his 'friend' is disheartened and runs away from another country, or returns to his hometown to retire for the rest of his life, and no one will accuse the new king of being ungrateful and mean.
Xinjun also has something to say;
- I want to keep him, too, but he's my father's friend!
- My dad is gone, and he is only willing to be friends with my father, not willing to be friends with me, what can I do???
With such a tacit understanding, the group of Keqing and the new monarch after the change of regime finally solved the core contradiction.
And this tacit understanding is also from top to bottom, and under the promotion of 'heroes' like Meng Weijun, it is gradually accepted by people all over the world.
In today's Han family, although the hundreds of officials and ministers in the DPRK keep saying 'I am a Han minister' and 'I am the founding father of the Han Dynasty', in fact, most people think in their hearts that I am 'I am a courtier of the first emperor Liu Bang' and 'I am a guest of the first emperor Liu Bang'.
As for the allegiance to Liu Ying, it is just that these people are out of respect and gratitude to the ancestor Liu Bang.
To put it more ugly: it is not so much that these founding fathers are 'loyal to Liu Bang's heir Liu Ying', but that these people are 'taking care' of Liu Bang's stupid son Liu Ying as old friends.
Although above the court and in the process of governing the country specifically, such an idea will not cause any trouble, but as the Son of Heaven, Liu Ying will obviously feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
- What emperor doesn't want to have loyal ministers who are loyal to him, especially only to himself?
And who is in power who doesn't want to have a few humeral henchmen and siblings around him?
For Liu Bang, the first emperor of Taizu Gao, all the founding fathers who survived until Liu Bang's death were basically Liu Bang's 'personal ministers';
For Liu Ying, the next batch of emerging military nobles are Liu Ying's 'private ministers' in the true sense and 'confidants' in the absolute sense.
In this way, it is obvious that Liu Ying is so concerned about the matter of being a meritorious general this time.
Regarding Liu Ying's thoughts, several ministers and important ministers obviously also know what they want.
Although I will subconsciously feel that I don't feel good in my heart, but thinking of those hairy boys, it is far from enough to pose a threat to myself, and several people have to force themselves to face it with a more relaxed mentality.
After the mentality is adjusted, it is natural to discuss the specific candidates and reward specifications.
For this point, several people did not act on behalf of them, but handed over the right to speak to Liu Ying.
- Look at what the Son of Heaven says, we are looking at the situation, we should persuade, we should agree.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Liu Yingzi was also unceremoniously, and set a general charter for this large-scale reward.
"Xinwu Marquis Jin She, the official residence is as high as the Tai Lieutenant, he is in charge of this battle of Mayi, defeating Hu Man, beheading and capturing nearly 100,000 Hu Man!"
"Such a great achievement, but still the Marquis of Xinwu only got more than 3,000 households, I am afraid that everyone in the world should think: I am mean and unkind?"
With a vague statement, seeing that everyone didn't understand what they meant, Liu Ying simply stopped beating around the bush and directly made her attitude clear.
"——Since the Han Dynasty, the Han family has fought against Hu Man, and Mo Yan's 'big victory' is a victory, and there are very few of them;"
"Xinwu Marquis Jin She, is the first person of my Han family to fight against the Northern Barbarian Huns, and to win this great victory!"
"Just thinking about this, thinking about fighting again in the future, don't make the soldiers feel cold, believe in the martial marquis Jin She, and the bento should be overflowed to ten thousand households!
”
Liu Ying's words were so straightforward, several people obviously couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, and could only raise their heads with worried faces;
As soon as they looked at each other for a moment, they were born from the Prime Minister's Tomb, and said in a roundabout 'reminder': "Your Majesty; ”
"Thousands of years have passed, Your Majesty, when You Wu will 'shake the master' with high merit, he has never been in the annals of history······"
"After this battle, the Marquis of Xinwu is among the ranks of the Wu Han family, which can be described as a great prestige!"
"In the remote places, there is a person who knows the Taiwei Jin She, but who does not know His Majesty, and he does not know?"
"——If Your Majesty overflows the letter to the Marquis of Wu to ten thousand households, the ministers are afraid ······"
was full of jealousy of a reminder, but it only caused Liu Ying to chuckle and shake his head: "Prime minister, don't worry." ”
"After this battle, the Marquis of Xinwu should take off his armor and wait to teach the prince."
"No matter how much war there is, there will be no more generals from Wuhou."
The unabashedly replied only to provoke Wang Ling to be speechless for a while, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped, but finally had to give up his life.
Liu Ying's words are very clear.
- After this battle, Jin She will never be in charge of the army again;
As for the 'prince to be taught', it sounds quite sensitive, but Liu Ying herself is only in her early twenties, and it will take three or five years, or even ten or eight years, to say the least.
Since Jin She has decided to leave the army and no longer hold the military power, it is not unbelievable to reward him with the 'Marquis of Ten Thousand Households'.
After all, this battle, the victory of the Han family, is indeed unprecedented, and it is likely that there will be no one to come.
That's it······
"Coach Jin She, overflowing to 10,000 households······"
"In this way, just this battle, Your Majesty wants to seal no less than ten people?"
Realizing Liu Ying's intention, several people also involuntarily raised their heads and looked at each other slightly.
From each other's eyes, they saw the same helplessness as themselves, and everyone had to smile bitterly and shake their heads.
- Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, obviously wants to train the team and prepare for the placement of wings in the DPRK and the army in the future.
As subordinates, even if they are among the ministers, they have absolutely no position to oppose it······
After thinking about it, a few people simply stopped being entangled, and after a little communication with Liu Ying, they quickly set a rough charter.
- Coach Jin She's overflow seal to 10,000 households, and the handsome and beautiful send, naturally also overflow;
It's just that Liji, as the son of Quzhou Hou, is quite difficult to deal with when his father Lishang is still alive.
In the end, under the strong promotion of Liu Ying, several people finally agreed to Liu Ying's plan: 3,000 households in the Marquis of Quzhou, with a total of 8,100 households;
Coupled with the premise that Jin Shu 'will definitely be out of the military', as long as Liji goes out as the commander in the future and wins, it is only a matter of time before the Quzhou Marquis family evolves towards the 'Marquis of Wanhu'.
As for 'the son's meritorious service, Lao Tzu's overflow', at first glance it sounds problematic, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.
- Anyway, no matter how much the Marquis of Quzhou overflows, it will still be passed to Liji in the end.
In addition to the coach Jin She and the deputy marshal Liji, the remaining senior generals will naturally be entitled.
Yulin Captain Quan Xu and Tiger Ben Captain Li Dangdang, both of whom were named Chehou, and there were 1,500 white households in the food town;
There is also the Guanzhong Army led by Jin She, and there are also three young generals at the rank of captain, who were each named Thoroughfare, with 500 households.
Moreover, it is an ultimate inspirational theme that is enough for families in Chang'an City to use for thirty or fifty years.
——He Weiyang, the captain of the Tiger Ben Colonel, completed the big jump from the first-level title: Gongshi to the twentieth level: Thorough Wait!
In one fell swoop, it jumped from the lowest title to the highest title that can be achieved by a different surname in the Han family!
As for the new aristocracy's Chehou Shiyi, it reached an appalling 2,500 households for ordinary people and ordinary soldiers······
