Outside the city of Guangzong County, Anping, the banner of the word "Shao" appeared far away on the horizon.

When the more than 1,000 rebels who fled here in a hurry saw it, they blew up on the spot: "Shao thief!" ”

Half of them broke down on the spot and scattered everywhere.

The other half didn't want to run away, so they left the city trembling and were captured.

The sergeant with the silver spear, who had just taken off the iron armor and spear from the baggage cart and was neatly draped, was immediately happy.

When marching, they do not wear armor, do not carry guns, do not bow and do not string, and whenever they encounter an enemy situation, they will be fetched by auxiliary soldiers to help them put on armor and go into battle.

Pursuing the enemy along the way, they put on and unloaded their armor too many times, and most of the time they didn't have to fight, and they were very tired and crooked.

But it's also a good thing.

As long as there is a war, people will inevitably die, and the thieves will collapse when they hear the news, which will save a lot of trouble, and it will also allow more robes to go home with all beards and tails.

By this time, the team had shrunk considerably.

Missing were 1,000 Yamen troops and 2,000 Ding Zhuang, who "escorted" the captured property, six or seven thousand prisoners, and two hundred craftsmen of various colors to Jijun.

After arriving in Ji County, take a short rest, and then return to Liang County via Henan and Luoyang.

The fate of the captives has been decided: farming.

It doesn't matter if you don't plant, under the whipping, you will always learn.

The environment of Guangchengze is not very good, the degree of development is not enough, and the yield of the new fields opened up is not high, which is no different from land reclamation - in fact, it is land reclamation.

It's hard work, and sometimes it's easy to get sick, so it's perfect to let the captives take the first thunder and transform the environment.

"There are more than 6,800 captives, and it is no problem to plant more than 1,000 hectares of land." Shao Xun summoned the generals and began to draw a big pie: "I have sent people to guard the Yamen army left behind in turn, and each captive cultivates more than ten acres of land, and produces it in a year, so that after they eat and drink for themselves, there should be a slight surplus, which can be used to give bereavement to the sons and daughters who died in battle." ”

"It's not a year or two thing. From now on, the grain and beans obtained by the captives from plowing the fields will be specially given to the three armies of silver guns, Yamen, and long swords. Unless a household receives more than 20 taels of grain in a year, then I will take the excess. ”

"The family members of the war dead can directly receive a ten-year pension, which will end after it expires."

After Shao Xun finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

In fact, the standard he set is still low, and it feels a bit like bullying the Jin people.

The Tang Dynasty stipulated that soldiers killed in war received 12 Hu pensions a year (one Tang Hu = three Jin Hu) and directly received 10 years, so the initial combat effectiveness was strong.

During the Wuhou years, because of several fiascos, too many people died, and this rule existed in name only, but I don't know how many people could receive it in full.

In the Tang Xuanzong period, the wars became more frequent, and he even sent a few heads in Nanzhao, but he couldn't afford to give compensation at all.

But how to say it, this thing is the same as the government soldiers, and it is especially easy to use when fighting the world. If you can't use it in the future, then think of other ways, or lower the standard.

Anyway, Shao Xun left a gap: After removing the rations of the prisoners in Tuntian, how much to produce, how much to distribute, and there is no way if it is not enough, or do you fight hard and catch more prisoners back?

"General, this is a moral policy, and when the sons and daughters hear it, they will definitely admire it." Li Chongzheng said.

In fact, the dynasty also has bereavement pensions, but they are not customized, they are very arbitrary, and they are rarely aimed at the soldier group.

Originally, most of them were world soldiers or conscripts, and there was no military salary, so how can we talk about the pension at the institutional level? Even if there is, it is also the personal behavior of the generals, or the temporary behavior of the imperial court, and it is not always happening, and the number is still very small.

Shao Xun's "compassion for the field" is already a matter at the institutional level, and it is completely different from the more arbitrary personal behavior.

The land may be owned by the government, but the families of the soldiers of the government, the Yamen Army, and the Silver Spear Army are entitled to share in the output for a period of ten years.

While there are certainly few initials, it's better than nothing. When the wasteland becomes a mature field, the yield will increase further, and life will gradually improve.

Li Chong thought again that if anyone dared to touch this place in the future, it would offend all the warriors, and the court would not be able to take it away, unless they could kill most of the soldiers of the Silver Spear, Yamen, and Long Sword Army.

In this way, the Yamen Army is completely no longer owned by the imperial court! Li Zhong sighed.

But can he object? No, not to mention that he is supportive, the low-level sergeant is really too bitter.

"General, how many years have the captives farmed? Ten years, twenty years? Huang Biao said on the side: "It's best to plant for 20 years, and then let it go when you're old." ”

Shao Xun was happy when he heard it, why didn't Huang Biao treat people as human beings so much? The most amazing thing is that Zhang Gu and the others actually nodded again and again, agreeing with Huang Biao's opinion.

These killers!

"Now that there are many births, let's set a five-year plan first, and after five years, we will determine the household registration and become a private household." Shao Xun said: "If you want more military fields and compassionate fields, you must fight bravely, catch more prisoners back, and open up more fields." After going back, I made it clear to my sons and daughters that only by winning battles and winning more battles can they have a better life. ”

"No." The crowd responded in unison.

Shao Xun asked them for a meeting, they would have a meeting with the officer, and the officer would tell the soldiers, so that the message was in place.

The group of martial artists will slowly become secure and attractive.

When they can share in the benefits of the rise of the Shaw Group, the group is more cohesive.

Man is spirited.

When soldiers know what they are fighting for and who they are fighting for, they will burst out with combat power that dwarfs those muddy armies.

******

After the news was delivered, it was no surprise that everyone's morale was boosted.

It's not that the soldiers don't want to fight to the death, you have to help them with their concerns.

What if I die and my family can't survive?

I've beheaded an enemy, can I get a reward?

I have made great contributions, can I be promoted?

I don't have any children, but when I die, I went underground, and is there anyone to sacrifice during the New Year's holidays?

Wait a minute.

Solve one pile, and the combat effectiveness rises a little.

All solved, combat effectiveness is off the charts.

Shao Xun's ability is limited, so he can only solve it little by little.

That night, Lu Zhi, who had disappeared for three days, came back, and with him came a former general named Sima Ying.

"General Wang, please take a seat." After the salute, Shao Xun stretched out his hand and asked Wang Xian to sit on the Hu bed on his lower right.

Lu Zhi sat at the bottom left.

"General, can the princess be in the palace?" As soon as he sat down, Wang Yan asked.

"Yes." Shao Xun replied briefly.

Why does everyone care about Roth? She is only the princess and the princess of Chengdu at certain times of the day, and the rest of the time she is my concubine.

"In the past, I was a general under the king of Chengdu, and I was killed several times because of drunkenness and misconduct, and later the princess turned around to intercede, and I picked up a life." When talking about the past, Wang Yan was a little embarrassed.

Shao Xun silently observed his face.

His face was haggard, his beard was unkempt, his clothes were torn, and there were more dirty places, which was no different from bandits and bandits.

Looking at his eyes again, there is not much light, and there is no expectation for the future, as if the meaning of his existence is to rebel and oppose Sima Yue's family until the last moment of his life.

This is also a poor man!

The former Beizhong Lang General, mixed to this point, can only make people sigh.

"General, why hesitate?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but say: "In the battle of Feixiang, Shao Caiguan led thousands of cavalry, and destroyed 14,000 people in Jisang in a battle. Now that the Jisang people are defeated, there are only a few of you left in Hebei, and if you don't serve again, you will be exterminated. ”

Wang Yan sighed, his face desolate.

"How many of you are left?" Shao Xun asked.

Wang Xi was silent.

"Alas! It's been said well on the road, why did you hesitate when it came to the end? Lu Zhi was a little sad.

There are really not many old people in Yefu, and if it goes on like this, Wang Xian and his group will all have to die.

Knowing that he was so strong, he went to Sima Yue to be a sacrificial wine, and he didn't care about these lonely ghosts.

"Shi Chao still has 2,000 soldiers, Lou Bao and Lou Quan each have more than 1,000 people, Hao Chang has 500 soldiers, and I have 800 soldiers." Under Lu Zhi's angry eyes, Wang Yan finally said.

"If you defend the city, you may be able to hold out for a while." Shao Xun said: "But Gou Xi will come, and I will also participate in the siege, and you will definitely be defeated at that time." Why don't you come down, come with me. ”

"Can you afford it?" Wang Yan was surprised: "These 800 people are all old brothers who have been with me for a long time, and I don't want them to be wronged. ”

"Wouldn't it be wronged to let them die with you?" Shao Xun asked rhetorically: "There are not many people in eight hundred, it is not difficult to give food to eat, don't think about the reward, I really can't afford it." Besides, I don't expect Shi Chao to descend on me, yes or no? ”

Wang Yan and Lu Zhi glanced at each other and nodded silently.

When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, some people will descend and some people will not.

Even if Shi Chao wanted to surrender, he would not demote Shao Xun, but Sima Yue could not accept him because it was too late.

If it had been a year earlier, the former Yefu scholars and generals might have been pardoned by Sima Yue, or even used by him. For example, Wang Bin, who had attacked and merged with Shi Chao in the west, surrendered and was appointed, this time under the command of Gou Xi, to attack Jisang.

But people like Shi Chao, Wang Xian, and Hao Chang either lurked in Hebei and repeatedly made trouble, or went west to Guanzhong, took refuge in Sima Hao, and continued to fight against Sima Yue, but it was not easy to get forgiveness.

Shi Chao is destined to be unable to save, but Shao Xun still wants to try to save others.

The 800 soldiers under Wang Xian's hand have been fighting with him for more than a year, and they have not been dispersed even after the mountains and rivers are exhausted, which shows that they are not the kind of soldiers who are about to collapse at the touch of a button, and they are still of some value.

In troubled times, talent is the most important.

"To surrender or not to surrender, let yourself decide." After Shao Xun finished speaking, he got up and left.

Lu Zhi knew that this was an opportunity to persuade him. So he immediately got up, walked in front of Wang Yan, and after a while, said: "There are some things, I only say them once, if you are strong, I will not care about you." ”

"First, with thousands of soldiers who are short of food and weapons, against tens of thousands of victorious troops, they will be defeated."

"Second, Shao Caiguan has won many battles, and this time he will inevitably be knighted, but his identity is not much worse than you. You can even say that you have no identity now. ”

"Third, the princess is in the house, and she can help her turn around if she has something."

"Fourth-" Speaking of this, Lu Zhi lowered his voice and said: "Shao Caiguan has not yet married a wife, and the princess is pregnant, if she gives birth to a boy, it is still unknown what will happen in the future." ”

Wang Yan's heart moved.

Lu Zhi looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Wang Yan opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "I will leave the camp to persuade Hao Chang, Lou Bao, and Lou Quan." ”

Lu Zhi was overjoyed, and at the same time made a decision in his heart.

The sacrificial wine of the Taifu shogunate was just a middle and low-level shogunate, and he didn't want to go, but now there was a place that was becoming more and more attractive to him.

Especially after experiencing the Battle of Feixiang, he had a deep understanding of some things, and his mind became active.

The princess is Shao Caiguan's pillow person, and it is possible to give birth to the eldest son, if there are more old people like Wang Yan, it would be better.

Anyway, Shao Xun can't open a mansion at present, and he can't officially take office, if there is disharmony, just leave.

Let's take a look first.
