Chapter 629: Retirement
However, Li Yue really didn't have the energy to pay attention to the south now.
Drought, locust plagues, relocation of the capital, Tuoba Shiyijian, Yao Chang, Fu Luo, and Fu Ya came one after another.
Before Daliang entered the heyday and completely unified the northern kingdom, Li Yue would not send troops to the south.
"Actually, this is also a good thing for Daliang, the Huanwen front is so long, and it is defended everywhere, which distracts Jiangdong's national strength." Li Yue said with a smile.
I'm not afraid that Huan Wen will send troops, but I'm afraid that he will shrink in Jiangnan.
"The edict asks Huan Wen to invade Hanzhong without the permission of the Great Liang, what is his intention?" Li Yue still decided to resort to diplomatic means.
It's easy to take Hanzhong, but it's not so easy to hold it.
Shu Han can hold because he is backed by a relatively wealthy Shuzhong, and now Shuzhong has long been abandoned and cannot support Hanzhong.
"Yui." Lu Qing gave up.
Several major forces in Kansai, in fact, the core is Liangzhou, Hanzhong is the leftovers, Guanzhong is in business, Hanzhong can't run, Longyou can't run, and Liangzhou can't run.
In the next few days, Li Yue devoted himself to the relocation of the capital, and asked Honglu officials to publicize it in the army in advance.
Luoyang is broken, the future is good, just repair and repair it a little, march and fight all year round, Li Yue doesn't care too much about the palace, just have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Everyone's closed fields will be replaced with fertile fields around Luoyang, the soldiers are overjoyed, Hebei next year will look at the drought, the fields are all wasted, to Luoyang will not delay next year's spring ploughing.
There are still quite a few people in the DPRK and China who oppose it, and most of them are officials from Hebei, and on the surface, they are all playing their own petty calculations for various reasons.
However, Li Yue quickly cut through the chaos this time, and with the help of natural disasters and the martial arts of defeating Di Qin, the opponents could not get support, so they did not stop, and obediently went south.
In fact, there was not much to move, and the soldiers dragged their families and small cars from Hanoi to Luo.
There are still four months left before spring ploughing, which is enough to complete the field division.
Shang Shutai went all out, and Li Yue sent all the people who were proficient in arithmetic in Shangwutang to assist, and let the school government supervise the whole process to ensure fairness.
In order to appease people's hearts, Li Yue went to the field in person to check the division of the field.
160,000 Heiyun troops, an average of one or two hundred acres per person, nearly 30 million acres of fields, one Luoyang Basin is definitely not enough, and there are still many local people.
Li Yue also rode horses to inspect Hanoi, Nanyang and other places, distributed the tuntian in the control of the imperial court to them, and built new houses for the families of the soldiers.
Fortunately, in this era, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are deserted fields everywhere.
Many soldiers used to be homeless and beggars, and wherever there was land, they took root.
The fields around Yecheng have all become tuntian.
Overall, the soldiers were quite satisfied, and in any case it was better than suffering a disaster in Yecheng.
But there are still many soldiers who have written to the military department and asked to retire.
After so many years of fighting, many old soldiers are mentally tired and physically tired.
Li Yue invited him to say that the Black Cloud Army needed a strong fighting spirit and offensive spirit, and these people stayed only as a monk for a day, which affected the overall combat effectiveness.
So the military department also got busy.
After some layoffs, more than 14,000 people went.
Li Yue arranged a grand banquet for them.
Looking at many familiar old faces, I felt a sigh of emotion in my heart, unconsciously, it has been more than ten years since I was killed from Heiyun Mountain.
Many people are not very old, less than forty, but their temples are full of white hair, wrinkled faces, slightly hunched backs, and even have grandchildren, it is time to go home to hug their grandchildren and live a happy life.
"This bowl is for the brothers who fell on the battlefield!" Li Yue walked to the middle of the old pawn and spilled a bowl of wine on the ground.
More than 100 guards behind him repeated Li Yue's words loudly, so that everyone present could hear them.
All eyes were focused on Li Yue.
"This bowl is dedicated to you, without your bloody killing, there would be no beam today!" Li Yue took a sip of wine and poured it.
"Your Majesty......" The old soldiers had already burst into tears.
In fact, it is good for them to retire, one is to reduce the pressure, the military department arranges retired veterans, generally stuffed into the post station, the town army in various places, and now they take the initiative to retire, just to guard the countryside, free from the pressure of the military department.
Second, these people are scattered in the local area, which can enhance the control of the imperial court over the local area.
Three, which of the veterans who have survived to the present day is not carrying military merits? If you have military merits, you can change your land, and if you have land, you will become a small landlord, which can limit the local power.
Fourth, many veterans are middle- and lower-level officers, and when they retire, they can make way for their juniors.
The military also needs to maintain its metabolism and let young people who are more motivated and want to make meritorious contributions come up.
After the destruction of Yan and Qin, the Liang State no longer needed to maintain such a large standing force, the scale of 100,000 was enough, and in the event of a major war, it could be assisted by the town army.
In the future, we should pay more attention to the town army, every time this group of people goes up, they will be weak, they will not be able to fight hard battles and vicious battles, and they will become the opening of the enemy army.
When he first came down to Heiyun Mountain, the combat effectiveness of the town army was not bad, but later he was negligent in management and let himself go, and he became the current bird.
However, this matter requires a qualified person to act as the secretary of the military department, not only to know the soldiers, but also to have a certain skill and ability.
In the future, when there is something happening in all directions, the black cloud elite will come out of Luoyang and cooperate with the local town army.
In the Tang Dynasty in history, more than 10,000 cavalry could destroy a country, and the Black Cloud Army should also develop in this direction.
"This bowl, I wish you all peace and tranquility!" Li Yue poured another bowl of wine.
Some of the old soldiers wept and cried, "Your Majesty...... I'm ashamed ......."
"There is nothing to be ashamed of, you have been bleeding and sweating for the beam for more than ten years, and you should enjoy the blessings!" Li Yue calmed the emotions of the old soldiers.
Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, once he entered the army, he was as deep as the sea, he shed blood and sweat on the battlefield when he was young, and he was lucky not to die, and he didn't want to retire until he was fifty or sixty years old, and continued to be a heavy soldier, transporting grain for the front line, until this old bone was squeezed dry and squeezed clean, and future generations would follow......
How could such an army have the desire to fight?
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the two Jin Dynasty official armies is getting weaker and weaker, in the first battle of Kuxian, Shile 20,000 horses and thousands of light horsemen surrounded the 200,000 Jin army and the people of Luoyang Gongqing to kill, the corpses are mountains and seas of blood, and they are like mountains, and there are more than 100,000 dead people in the princes' soldiers, which is the darkest page of the Yongjia Rebellion......
Li Yue held the wine bowl and frequently touched the bowl with the old pawn, "Zhang Da'er, your kid has divided 400 acres of land, and you are not allowed to bully men and women in the future." ”
"Your Majesty knows that I am an honest man."
"Zhao Sheng, you married nine women, are you busy?"
"The last general was too busy before, but now when he goes back, he can give birth to a few more cubs for Daliang and continue to fight for His Majesty!"
"Hahaha, okay, come on, do it!"
The more Li Yue drank, the more enthusiastic the atmosphere became, saying that it was a banquet, but in fact it was a little shabby, just a large bowl of millet wine and a large piece of beef and mutton.
But they just take this bite, make it too fine, but they are not used to it, and some people even pick fat to eat.
Li Yue also drank a few more bowls unconsciously.
