Chapter 50: The Expedition (I)

There are rewards for meritorious work, punishments for mistakes, and compensation for the dead and wounded.

Regardless of Xianbei, Han, and Gaoche, they are treated equally.

Never distinguish by race, favor one over the other.

If you violate this oath, God will hate it!

There was a boom below, and all the soldiers were stunned, what was the situation?

The emperor swore in public that he would treat Han people and Xianbei equally?

The Xianbei soldiers were in an uproar, you must know that marching and fighting have always been the patent of the Xianbei people, and the Han people are only responsible for garrisoning the border and farming.

The Han people were also surprised, the Gao royal family has always had a very serious Xianbei plot, and they know this.

Today's emperor vows to treat Xianbei and Han equally?

Before they could react, Cushman dropped another bombshell:

"From today onwards, Daqi will recruit Han people to enlist in the army, and select them together with Xianbei warriors, and if they pass the assessment, they can join the army, and all the treatment will be slightly inferior to Xianbei for the time being!"

"Anyone who joins the army, young and old in the family, is free from slavery!"

"Those who join the army will be exempted from taxes at home, and those who are unfortunately killed or disabled in the war will be given a bereavement pension, 20 acres of land, two taels of silver, and three horses of silk!"

"Those who have a sergeant in their family will be given priority protection by the local county and county, and anyone who violates the soldier's family without permission will be immediately killed!"

"As long as you are a soldier for a day, and your wife is small, I will raise her!"

The whole dynasty was in an uproar, and the 40,000 people below seemed to be boiling, and the majesty of the phalanx was swept away by Gao Wei's words!

This is not only the Han people, even the Xianbei soldiers are also moved, to be honest, such a generous pension and treatment, they are also unheard of.

If it weren't for the poor treatment in the army, would they still go to work as thugs for the lords?

Now no one is entangled in the pride of the Xianbei people in their hearts, everyone looks at the emperor on the high platform, and at this moment Gao Wei is more majestic than Zuo Xiang in their hearts.

The Han soldiers were also excited, since the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Xianbei soldiers were wantonly selected, and the Han soldiers had no way to rise to the next level. Fame is sought immediately, who doesn't know this? But from the very beginning, they were destined to have no chance of military merit because of the identity of the Han people, because the upper echelons of the army were all Xianbei, and the Han people had no way out, but now it is different, the Han people can also fight on the battlefield to win fame!

Not to mention, they used to be just private soldiers raised by wealthy families, and they were supposed to spend their lives as slaves and maids, but they didn't expect to have such an opportunity!

Now they no longer envy those who are left behind by the family, one is a slave and the other is a military master, the treatment may not be much better, and it is not more comfortable than the family, but the reputation is heaven and earth!

They can also go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions and glorify the lintel!

With such a good treatment and such a high pension, it can be said that I never dreamed of it, let alone that Emperor Chrysostom said that the whole family of the soldiers was out of slavery.

This means that they no longer have to be slaves under the family!

People are like this, they don't think for themselves, but for future generations, right?

They themselves are willing to be dead soldiers in the family, because they are domestic servants, private soldiers cultivated by the family since childhood, but do they want their children to follow them and be slaves?

But if there is a glimmer of hope, not many people will be willing to be servants, but they will always have to find a way for their children and grandchildren!

The children of the family in the court changed color slightly, they helped Gao Wei, because Gao Wei opened the quota of the court to the Hebei family, so that more outstanding children of the family can be among the official careers, in the past, when the nobles controlled the court, the family did not have many opportunities, so the family reciprocated, donated a lot of money, food and wealth, and also drew half of the private army in the clan to the emperor to call.

In their opinion, it was a good deal.

When the children of the family enter the court and make some achievements, it will not only greatly enhance the status of the family, but also expand the influence of the family.

Money, food, and wealth are gone, and fame and long-term interests are the things they value most.

Moreover, those private soldiers, their deeds of sale and the deeds of sale of their families are still in their hands, after all, they are not from the family?

As a result, the emperor took a cold hand to play this hand for them, and those who joined the army and enlisted in the army, the whole family was freed from slavery.

This means that the private soldiers and their families who sold themselves to them have nothing to do with them again!

They can no longer call these people, and they can no longer use their families to pinch them, which directly cuts off a big piece of the family's meat!

And you can't use any small means, threats and persecution, etc., the emperor just said, those who violate the families of soldiers will not be forgiven!

The family can indeed let the people below do it, but as long as the state and county governments intervene and the court pays attention, although they are not afraid, they will also cause a commotion.

If they were still their own private soldiers, then the emperor would have no way to take the family, but now these soldiers nominally belong to the imperial court.

The emperor gave them whatever preferential treatment he wanted, including getting rid of slavery, and they had no way at all.

These more than 10,000 private soldiers still have to be let out......

They gritted their teeth secretly, even if they were unwilling, they were helpless.

That's the most annoying thing in the world, you want to take advantage of the loophole, but he locks the door for you, closes the window, and even blocks the chimney for you!

Do you still have to drill the cracks in the wall?

The emperor's three-plank axe is invulnerable.

In this way, these private soldiers still want to return to the family, so they are called ghosts!

As soon as Gao Wei raised his hand, the hustle and bustle of the hall and the boiling voices below gradually calmed down.

Hundreds of brocade-clad armor soldiers dragged dozens of large boxes up.

Cushman motioned for Liu Taozhi to open.

Liu Taozhi drew his knife, cut the chain with a knife, and poured out the contents of the box, full of gold and jade!

The forty thousand soldiers below inhaled one after another, and their eyes widened as they looked at the shiny treasure on the high platform.

If Hu Changren is here, he will definitely feel that these treasures are very familiar.

"Pour them all out!"

The brocade armor man poured boxes of treasures on the bronze bird platform, copper coins and silver jewels, like a hill.

At this moment, the needle drop can be heard in the school yard, and even the flies flying by can be heard clearly.

Everyone's eyes were dazzled by this wealth, and their hearts seemed to be grabbed suddenly.

Gao Wei pointed to the yellow and clear belongings beside him, "These are the rewards for your successful return, as long as you make military achievements, these are all yours!" ”

There was no response, and the forty thousand men were stunned.

When Gao Wei was a little embarrassed just now, the old man Hu Luguang stood up very intimately to solve the siege, blowing his beard and glaring:

"A bunch of fools, don't hurry up and thank you!"

Qi Lianmeng took the lead with a very eye-catching eye and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”

"Long live my emperor!! Banzai!! Banzai!! ……”

The sea of steel below let out a shout like a landslide and tsunami.

The sound shook Yecheng, and the mountains and rivers changed color.
