Chapter 253: The Military Merit System
Watching Gou Chun take over the task, Liu Tai believed that he would bring the rules of Qingzhou to the local family.
To be honest, Liu Tai didn't think that the family would kneel so quickly, and would honestly abide by the rules he had set.
After all, regardless of the additional tax of the Chida tax, or the levy tax on the conscription under their command, although it does not touch the root of the family, it is always heart-wrenching to make people pay the cost, and there will definitely be people who will jump out to oppose it.
All the changes in the world are made from bloodshed, and now they can only jump out of the family with a hard time, and use their lives to make other families adapt to the times.
After all, it is called Huang Chao who kills all the families in one go, and he can't be as bold as him.
I respect history and revere history, but I don't want to be scolded by later families for thousands of years.
Therefore, after single-handedly creating the military and military history, another political force is needed to restrain them.
Just when Liu Tai was thinking about whether to take out the imperial examination system, Chu Yi, Zhou Ping, Chen Yuanda and others also arrived one after another.
Liu Taizhi also had the intention of letting go first, after all, the imperial examination is indeed a good policy, but now he has not forced himself to use this policy.
After all, during the war, the government military system and the Juntian system were the most effective after all, and relatively speaking, the imperial examination system was more used to govern the world and break the gate valve election system.
"I've seen the king!" Chu Yu, Zhou Ping and Chen Yuanda saluted after seeing Liu Tai.
After Liu Tai returned the salute, he said, "Now I can successfully occupy Hebei, but it is your help, Tai is here to thank you!" ”
Chu Yu took a step forward and said, "The king can dominate Hebei, because the king is benevolent and majestic, and I can only tinker behind me."
I don't know what the king is calling for a few of us today? But a few days later, the military merit conference? ”
For Liu Tai to hold a military merit conference after winning the war, to be honest, Chu Yu, Zhou Ping and Chen Yuanda are used to it.
Generally speaking, this military merit conference will be used to complete the replacement of the old and new soldiers of the army.
The reason is very simple, at the beginning, Liu Tai only had Taishan County, and after taking Qingzhou, the soldiers of Taishan County got the fields, and although the soldiers of Qingzhou became soldiers, they were more still watching.
Later, after defeating Wang Jun, he took the land of Jizhou and Youzhou, and the Qingzhou soldiers got the land in this place, but many of the soldiers in Jizhou and Youzhou could only look at it.
After all, although the target of 100 wastelands given by Liu Tai is very fragrant, more soldiers still hope to directly get the fifty acres of ripe land that can be immediately put into cultivation in the second year, after all, what is in hand is the most real.
This kind of thing is really hard, and for many civilians, they may not be able to open up an acre of land in three years.
This difficulty is probably the difficulty of you working all your life and believing that you can buy your own affordable housing and let yourself put down roots in an economically developed area.
For many people at the bottom, it is not that they cannot see the hidden benefits brought by the 100 indicators.
But they really can't come up with the capital to support the realization of this wealth, or in other words, even if they reclaim a hundred acres of land, whether they can keep it is a question.
This is because the land that has been reclaimed is not subject to other taxes and miscellaneous taxes compared to other fields, and it is directly connected to the government's military land.
At most, the tax in kind paid by the government soldiers is designated to plant grain, and after the harvest, seven layers are left, and the other three layers are directly handed over to the state as taxes.
Because there is no family involved, it is the military history that comes to record, and the retired soldiers come to collect it, all of which go through the military process, so it can maintain this policy, and after killing the backbone, both the people at the bottom and Liu Tai are very satisfied with this income.
However, Liu Tai also knew that when he first started, he could use the military to top everything, but if it took a long time, I was afraid that there would be a situation where the military power would not be able to fall.
Therefore, in the future, I still need to reintroduce the power of the family, and even need to hold the imperial examination to form a third force in the people, so as to form a relationship of mutual checks and balances.
After all, if there are only two forces, then in the development of contradictions, they often intensify the contradictions so that both sides cannot stop.
The two sides can only reach a relatively dynamic equilibrium, but if they are not careful, this dynamic equilibrium will be shattered.
Now that Liu Tai has won the battle of Hebei, it can be said that the largest arable land in the entire North China Plain and the Central Plains has been in Liu Tai's hands.
The soldiers of Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou under his command can go and carve up this piece of land.
Of course, this will also encourage other soldiers north of the Yellow River who have been encroached on to join the government and soldiers.
This is the reason why Liu Tai is not short of soldiers, and he is afraid that there are about 15,000 soldiers in this battle, but the follow-up soldiers are still continuously added to his own soldier system, and the overall quality of the soldiers and the morale of the army have no impact.
Even with the full spread of the government military system and the Juntian system in Jizhou, north of the Yellow River, and Bingzhou and Sizhou, there will be more people who are eager for war, and in the end, now their land is divided by the guys in Youzhou and Jizhou, as well as Qingzhou.
They were also very red-eyed when they had just enlisted in the army, and they wanted land, women and wealth very much.
This model, to some extent, is a bit like a Ponzi scheme, which is getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, I think about it and use Jiangnan as the final place for the conquest.
At this time, many scholars crossed to the south of the Yangtze River, and now they should be caught in the competition with the local people in the south of the Yangtze River for materials and production, but they will also help the Jiangnan region to develop to a certain extent.
At that time, if you really want to crush it in the past, then you will naturally be able to loot the land of all the families and distribute it.
Compared with other regions, the Sima family in Jiangnan is the most likely to fall into infighting with the development model of other families.
Because Sima Rui's own foundation is unstable, he needs to rely on the family, but at the same time, he needs other families to balance the family he relies on and avoid being usurped.
After all, how did the position of the Sima family come about, isn't Sima Rui clear?
Therefore, he must be both useful and defensive to the Wang family, and it is always the Sima family that operates on the Cao family, and the result is all retribution on himself.
Therefore, if the dynasty with the largest infighting can let it go, let it go first, and first straighten out its own internal problems.
Don't be like Qianqin, you fought a war with Xie An, it wasn't even a fight, and if you lose once, you will blow yourself up directly.
It simply doesn't look like what a regime that has completed the unification of the North should look like.
You must know that as the greatest strength of the North in dealing with the southern regime, that is, if the northern regime loses ten times, it can come back, but if the southern regime loses once, it will die violently.
One of the biggest examples is the Southern Song Dynasty, and his victory rate is basically won by repelling the attacks of the northern regime.
It's just that as long as this win rate is lower than seven layers, it basically announces the demise of the Great Coward.
"The matter of the military merit conference has been handed over to Xijian, and Xi Jinping has also provided meritorious records when he joined the army, not because of this one thing!"
Liu Tai shook his head and said, "I hope that you can use the Qin Dynasty's military merit system to negotiate a promotion system suitable for the soldiers."
How many levels of titles, the court will arrange for women to arrange for them to go on a blind date, how many ranks, how many levels of titles will the court arrange for them to cultivate, how many levels of titles the court will give chariots and horses for them to drive, how many levels of titles the court will grant independent mansions, and so on!
With us sitting in Hebei, the original simple Juntian system and government military system are no longer suitable for these soldiers.
Especially for soldiers who become soldiers, they need to have a military merit system that is more suitable for them, so that they clearly know what they have to do on the battlefield to get rewards! ”
"Indeed, it is necessary to establish a clearer system of military merit!" Chu Yu did not object to Liu Tai's idea.
After all, you are the first in Hebei, and the next step is to unify the world, so naturally you need to further improve the corresponding system to prepare for the unification of the world, which is understandable to several people present.
However, Chu Yu was a little worried, "If you copy it all, it will be easy to go wrong, and the Qin Law is too strict."
And before the war, it is easy to say that relying on this title to act, but when the world is unified, if the system is not suppressed, I am afraid that the whole country will be attacked like Great Qin, so if the Jin court is defeated, it is necessary to repair the military merit system! ”
"The past does not forget the teacher of the future, I know this truth!" Liu Tai nodded approvingly when he heard Chu Yu's words,
"However, if there is chaos today, if you want to unify the world, you need to boost the morale of the soldiers, but you need your help."
Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words and understood what Liu Tai meant, but he was also relieved.
Liu Tai continued: "The military merit system, when the award is awarded, when the punishment is punished, it is also necessary to meet the basic needs of the soldiers.
This requires Zhou Pingling to provide Mouyuan with the required soldier information, and Yuan Da you to assist Chu Yu in formulating the corresponding laws. ”
"The last general obeys!" "The minister obeys the order" Zhou Ping and Chen Yuanda hurriedly responded to Liu Tai.
Liu Tai continued: "Of course, although the title also has high punishments and high rewards, it can almost be at the fifth level to allow the soldiers to solve the food and clothing of a family of five, and also end here, set up a security line, so that you can use the title to atone for the crime!"
When he was almost at the ninth level, he was able to have the qualifications to leave his name in history in his hometown.
As for the fifteenth and above titles, the marquis of Guannei, the marquis of Ting, the marquis of Duting, the marquis of the township, the marquis of the county, the marquis of the county, etc., have all joined the military merit system.
All in all, before our next expedition, we will get this military merit system out, so that the soldiers can clearly know how many meritorious deeds they have made and what kind of treatment they can get. ”
Chu Yi was relieved to hear that Liu Tai either let himself have a military merit ceremony in the near future, or immediately took out these, after all, Chu Yu knew very well that Liu Tai's next dispatch of troops would definitely have to wait until after the autumn harvest next year.
It's very simple, because next year's first goal will definitely be to work hard to plow the land in Hebei.
And next year's main task is basically to clear out the rout of Shile Liu Yao, and in terms of resuming production, and even this resumption of production will take at least one or two years, or even three years.
If there is nothing special in the south, Chu Yu can be sure that Liu Tai will definitely not send troops.
Because Chu Yu has been following Liu Tai for a long time, he understands very well that Liu Tai seems to be reckless, but he is actually too stable.
Therefore, Chu Yu also knows that he has enough time to slowly polish the West Street of the military merit system.
But it is precisely because of this that Chu Yu also understands how much Liu Tai attaches importance to this matter, and he will definitely not drop the chain.
To tell the truth, this is also because Liu Tai knows the military merit system, which can not only be used by the people at the bottom to kill the enemy through rewards.
But at the same time, it can be punished by punishment, and the nobles are deprived of the title of the reason for it little by little.
In essence, it is a tool specially used for the emperor to centralize power, as long as there is no BUG similar to the four saint level that will never be defeated, then the military merit system can be played for a long time.
In this era, he has fought the most critical battle of Hebei, and next, he only needs to have a battle of Dingding Central Plains with Zu Ti, and then lead his troops into Chang'an, then he only needs to fight the battle of unification, and other wars can be handed over to his trusted subordinates.
And the merits they can obtain, it is not realistic to want to blow up this merit system.
At least in his own generation, he can well suppress the expansion of this meritorious system.
As long as it is reunified, then this system will be changed immediately, and it is natural to need the military merit system to fight the world, but when it comes to sitting in the world, there are no enemies, and the military merit system has not been changed, I am afraid that it will follow in the footsteps of Daqin.
At that time, the ones who will suffer should be the Jiangnan soldiers who joined their own government military system after reunification.
But the problem is that they are governed, and if they suffer a loss, they will suffer a loss, and whoever let them mix under the Jin Court has no way to pull them up.
After all, there is only so much arable land in the world, even if you go south, there will be no arable land.
Is it possible to give these Jiangnan soldiers the mountains of Fujian, which are indisputable for soldiers, to be bandits?
Therefore, we can only continue to suffer the people and soldiers in Jiangnan.
With the instructions of this system to Chu Yu, Chu Yu began to look for the knighthood system and obtain the corresponding information from Zhou Ping and Chen Yuanda, and slowly built a military merit knighthood system suitable for this era.
Liu Tai also soon began to hold military ceremonies, which were actually relatively long, taking a whole day.
Among them, the morning is mainly to give funerals to the dead soldiers, and to send off the soldiers who have retired due to injuries or retired when they are old.
Funerals are held for dead soldiers, and the ritual standard of this funeral is basically what is the standard after Liu Tai's death, so what standard ceremony can these soldiers who died in battle enjoy.
As for the Jingling Palace, a monument engraved with sacrificed soldiers was also built in Yecheng, and it was also erected.
Liu Tai knew very well that since he talked about patriotism and nationalism, he had to let these soldiers feel the love of the Han Dynasty for them and the respect of the country for them.
And these ceremonies seem to be laborious and costly, but they also let the people of Yecheng know that being a soldier under Liu Tai is not the same as being a soldier under others.
Even if he died, Liu Tai personally came to preside over the ceremony, and how about fighting for the immortality of the Han Dynasty? Intrigued!
