Chapter 301: Reaction in the Army

"House of Glory!"

After the next dynasty, Fan Zheng proposed the title of the House of Glory, which immediately caused an uproar in the military.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, joining the army has been widely discriminated against among the people.

The saying that 'good iron does not hit nails, and good men are not soldiers' has also spread more and more widely, and more and more people are unwilling to become soldiers, which has caused the quality of the soldiers of the Song army to be low and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

This was not without the courtiers' awareness, but they were helpless, after all, the trend of using literature to control military force was the trend of the times, and these customs have been deeply ingrained and difficult to return after centuries of evolution.

Of course, the courtiers did not sit still, and in the face of the predicament, they chose another path of no return, that is, to expand the army!

When the Great Song Dynasty was first founded, the forbidden army was only 200,000, but as the quality of the soldiers gradually decreased, in order to have enough troops to resist foreign enemies, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty expanded again and again, and now the number of the forbidden army has increased fourfold.

The military expenditure and weapons required by the 800,000 forbidden army eventually formed a pattern of redundant soldiers and redundant expenses in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, who would have thought that the stubborn disease that made the elite of the Great Song Dynasty helpless would be cured by the evil doctor Fan Zheng with a small plaque.

The Yang family of Tianbo Mansion!

The news of Yang Bangyi's seizure of Wu Zhuangyuan by Yang Bangyi, the son of the Yang family, has already been reported, and the entire Yang family is jubilant.

"Congratulations, old lady!"

The guests of the Yang family continued to come to say goodbye.

"Rejoice! Rejoice! ”

The old lady of the Yang family couldn't close her mouth with a smile!

Tianbo Mansion has been in decline for too long, so long that it is about to be forgotten by Kaifeng City, but fortunately, the opera "Yang Female General" exploded, once again bringing the Yang family back to the attention of the imperial court.

And now the imperial court has reformed greatly, attaching importance to martial arts and martial arts, Yang Bangyi has won the martial champion in both civil and military affairs, and Tianbo Mansion has risen again, and the days are just around the corner.

"Kaifeng Prefect Fan has arrived!"

Suddenly, a sound came, which immediately caused an uproar in Tianbo Mansion.

"Kaifeng prefect Fan Chunli, the father of the evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

Everyone talked about it, Fan Chunli's Kaifeng prefect was not obvious, but the identity of his evil doctor Fan Zheng's father was even more famous.

"The Fan family can be said to be the benefactor of Tianbo Mansion, and it seems that the Fan family is going to make friends with the Yang family."

"The last time the Fan family valued the general was General Di, and this time it was the Yang family, it seems that the Yang family is going to be developed."

……………………

Everyone talked about it, and everyone knew that the reason why Di Qing was on the rise back then was due to Fan Zhongyan's support, but now the Fan family values the Yang family so much, they can't help but think about it less.

"Governor Fan's Mansion is coming to Tianbo Mansion, and Tianbo Mansion is shining!"

When the old lady of the Yang family heard this, she immediately rushed over with Yang Bangyi and thanked Fan Chunli solemnly.

"Yang Bangyi has seen the prefect!" Yang Bangyi stepped forward and said solemnly to Fan Chunli.

"It is indeed a good boy of my Great Song Dynasty, don't bury the expectations of the ancestors of the Yang family in the future." Fan Chunli nodded.

Yang Bangyi's face was solemn and said, "I will definitely not live up to Lord Fan's expectations." ”

Fan Chunli looked around at the slightly dilapidated Tianbo Mansion and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Your Majesty decreed that in order to reward the soldiers for protecting their homes and defending the country, each government is responsible for making plaques of the glorious homes and distributing them to the soldiers' homes. The Yang family has been loyal to the country for a hundred years, and several generations of sons and daughters have died on the battlefield, and they are the home of martyrs and a model in the army. ”

After Fan Chunli finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and a team of officials carried a plaque.

"House of Glory!"

The four gilded characters on the plaque are particularly dazzling.

The old lady of the Yang family looked at these four big characters and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Great Song Dynasty used literature to control the military, and the status of the warriors was low, especially the men who died in battle, and the warrior families who left only orphans and widows were in a difficult situation.

Many men of the Yang family died in battle, and the old and weak women and children left behind were all white-eyed, and now the title of this glorious family suddenly made the Yang family raise their eyebrows.

"Thank you, official! The Yang family swears allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Under the leadership of the old lady of the Yang family, the Yang family solemnly bowed in the direction of the palace.

After sending the Yang family to the Yang family, Fan Chunli sent the plaques of the glorious family to the Jiangmen family of the Great Song Dynasty one by one, and even the second brother Fan Chunren's family also sent a pair.

"The box soldiers too?"

Fan Chunren said in surprise.

Fan Zhengping is now leading the construction corps, but it was transformed by the original van soldiers, and now it has also been awarded the title of a glorious home by the imperial court.

Fan Chunli nodded solemnly and said: "What's more, whether it is the forbidden army or the box soldiers, even the widows of soldiers and retired veterans, as long as they were once affiliated with the army, they all have a plaque of the glorious home." ”

Fan Chunren said solemnly: "The official family has a great plan! ”

It would not be surprising if the forbidden army was only co-opted, but the official family actually included both serving and retired soldiers, and Zhao Xu must have other plans.

Fan Chunli nodded slightly, his gaze to the west and north.

Obviously, the official family won over the military, just to guard against the Western Xia and the Liao State, and now the Great Song Dynasty has a thunderstorm, if the 800,000 forbidden troops work together to serve the official family, then the Great Song Dynasty and Liaoxia are not without the power of a war.

……………………

With the distribution of the plaques of the House of Glory to the people, the plaques of the brand-new House of Glory were hung on the door plates of each soldier.

Many of the soldiers' families are in tears, they have fought for the country for generations, but they have been discriminated against, and now they have finally been recognized by the imperial court.

At present, the families of the soldiers regard the plaque of the House of Glory as a treasure and put it in the most conspicuous position in the home.

The House of Glory is not gold, it is not silver, but it is gold that cannot be compared, and silver cannot be exchanged.

With the recognition of the imperial court, the families of millions of soldiers can finally raise their eyebrows and hold their heads high in front of their neighbors.

"Thank you Mrs. Fan for this good plan, so that I can raise my millions of soldiers to be people!"

Kaifeng City, in Fengle Building, Chong Pu, who entered Beijing in the dust, solemnly saluted Fan Zheng.

Most of the soldiers of the Western Expedition were the comrades of Fan Zheng who resisted the Western Xia in Pingxia City at the beginning, and had a life-and-death friendship.

"It's still the Lord of the Prison Army who understands the minds of the soldiers waiting for us, and Liu Mou got the plaque of the glorious home issued by the imperial court, and he is even more excited than my meritorious service to Kaifeng to receive the reward." Next to Chongpu, a lieutenant said gratefully.

"That is, Lao Tzu would rather shed blood on the battlefield than look at others with the tattooed and contemptuous eyes on Lao Tzu's face."

A lieutenant said rudely, but let the soldiers nod their heads in unison.

Fan Zheng looked around at the light or heavy tattoos on everyone's faces, and comforted: "The imperial court has ordered the abolition of soldiers' tattoos in the army, and the tattoos on your faces will be the glory of the army in the future." ”

A group of lieutenants suddenly smiled, if it was the usual words, the generals would not believe it, but the imperial court has widely distributed the plaque of the glorious home, giving them honorary affirmation, and suddenly let the complaints in the hearts of the soldiers be swept away.
