Chapter 266
Chapter 266: Retirement of the armor and return to the field
At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the five brothers Yang Guang, except for the crown prince Yang Yong, stayed in the capital. The other four brothers were also enfeoffed to various places like the Han Dynasty. Yang Guang's fief was in Yangzhou, and he stayed there for more than ten years, so he had a special preference for Yangzhou. After becoming the emperor, he even went to Yangzhou.
However, after Yang Guang became emperor, he had only three sons, one died early, and the remaining one was still fertile. The only adult son, Yang Qing, had been granted the title of military commander of Yangzhou in Renshou, and was appointed as the general manager of Yangzhou in the south of Huai River. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was granted the title of King of Qi, and added 4,000 households in the second year of Daye, and was later transferred to the governor of Yuzhou. The second year, he was transferred to the governor of Yongzhou, and moved to the Yin of Henan, and opened the Yitong Sansi.
Yang Hung was handsome, beautiful, and had a lot of knowledge about classics and history. However, when he grew up, he met many people like Yu Wen and such, and became a slutty prince. Later, the prince died, and Yang Guang was left with only one son, and all the ministers in the court wrote a letter to make Yang Hung the crown prince. However, Yang Hung had already become a debauchery prince at that time and did everything he had done. His Princess Qi was the daughter of Shangshu Chong of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He died early, and Yang Hung then met with his concubine's sister Yuan's wife, and gave birth to a daughter, which no one outsider knew about.
Yang Ming specially found a fortune teller to see his sister-in-law, but the person who looked at him said, "This child should be the queen, and Wang Gui can't speak of it." From then on, Yang Ming really believed that he would be the prince in the future and became even more licentious. In the end, even Yang Guang couldn't stand it anymore and was locked in the palace.
Now Yang Guang has given birth to a son with Xiao. Although he is young, he is very smart and has given up on Yang Hing. At this time, he couldn't help but ponder. Although Yang Hing is licentious, he is his son at least. He has only two sons. Since he no longer intends to let him be the crown prince in the future, it would be better to send him to the remote Liaodong, which is considered exiled. In this way, there is a prince in charge of Liaodong, and I believe that he can stabilize Liaodong.
Yu Shiji had a friendship with the King of Qi, and he was also working for the King of Qi and helped him. But others, such as Yu Wenhua and others, were surprised. Arranging the King of Qi to Liaodong is equivalent to enfeoffing the King of Qi. The prince was in charge of the local area, which was beneficial when the dynasty was first established, because it could help the central government consolidate the local government. But when is it now? When the emperor's brothers enfeoffed the local area, one of them finally rebelled, and two others also had this meaning. Even Yang Guang also relied on the forces he made friends in the local area to finally abolish the prince.
King Zhao is only five years old, but King Qi is already twenty-eight years old. He enfeoffed King Qi to Liaodong. Who knows what the situation will be in the future? It is very likely that this is a way to cause disaster.
Although Yuwen Shu and other ministers also knew that Yang Guang was preparing for the future King Zhao's crown prince. However, if the release of King Qi was not done well in the future, it would become a battle between the princes and the new emperor.
Yuwen Shu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the three provinces and six ministries are already centralized today, it will definitely be detrimental to the centralization of the court at this time. This is a bad sign. Please think twice." The Yuwen clan had already put the bargaining chips on King Zhao who was bought in the year. At this time, he didn't want to see that things still had variables. It would be best to keep the King of Qi in the palace, just like King Yang Xiu of Shu.
Yang Guang is a man of arbitrary decisiveness. Once he decides something, it will be very difficult to change it again. He has only two sons. Since he has made up his mind to give up King Qi, he doesn't want his son to be imprisoned in the palace for the rest of his life, put him in Liaodong, and let him be a king of enjoying happiness.
"Yuwen Aiqing is worried too much. King Qi goes to Liaodong. I just don't want to watch him stay in the palace like this in his life. Let him go to Liaodong, and I will only give him the right to supervise. He has no right to interfere in local military and political affairs in Liaodong, and it will not have any impact. I have decided, so don't say it anymore. Okay, the time is over, so go back to the palace for a court meeting." Yang Guang waved his sleeves and stopped other ministers who still wanted to speak.
The emperor went to court again, and the ministers shouted long live.
Yang Guang nodded with a smile, "Everyone is flat."
"Today, I want to announce a major event. Since Prince Yuande died early, the position of the crown prince of the Eastern Palace has been empty. The Eastern Palace is the crown prince of a country, which is related to the country. Long-term emptiness will inevitably make the world unstable. I have been inspecting for a long time. King Gao of Zhao has a profound and humble state, benevolent and filial piety. I decided to make King Yang Gao of Zhao the crown prince of the Eastern Palace."
As soon as Yang Guang said, the ministers exclaimed. It has been seven years since the death of Prince Yang Zhao, and the position of the crown prince has been empty for seven years. Originally, everyone thought that the only prince at that time, Yang Ming would be the crown prince, but they expected that he would be convicted and imprisoned in the end. Now, seven years have passed, but they never thought that the emperor suddenly made the five-year-old King Zhao the crown prince. How could a child who was only five years old tell what Yuliang Hongshen was.
Then Yang Guang continued, "Justice Yu Aiqing, the Minister of the Inner History, said bluntly that the prince would take charge of Liaodong. Liaodong had just been pacified and the royal family needed to take charge of the royal family. Therefore, I have been thinking for a long time and decided to change the King of Qi to the King of Liao. I will also be the Liaodong Observation Envoy, take charge of Liaodong and inspect the local area!"
Many ministers have begun to whisper, and today the emperor is really silent. Suddenly, he positioned his two sons. The five-year-old King Zhao became the crown prince, and the older King Qi was sent to Liaodong.
The ministers in the hall calmed down after several times of shouting silently.
"Goguryeo in Liaodong has been pacified. From now on, our Great Sui Dynasty will divide seven counties and forty-nine counties in Liaodong, namely Liaodong County, Fuyu County, Beisha County, domestic counties, Wugu County, Pyongyang County, and Xincheng County. From today on, the Ministry of Personnel must immediately come up with a list and transfer officials at all levels of Qi's 49 counties, and must be in Liaodong within three months." After another shaking, the ministers in the hall felt a little dizzy.
If officials are assigned to the local government, then as long as there is only half a year, the entire Liaodong can be included in the management of the Central Court of the Great Sui Dynasty. The Great Sui Dynasty has always ruled the world with civilization. Although there are many government soldiers in the world, the money, grain and equipment are allocated by each county. Although the government soldiers are transferred by the Ministry of War and the Weifu, if there is no money, it is still difficult to move forward. Local civil servants are the best institutions to supervise the local governments. They can know when there is any disturbance.
As soon as three things were announced, the next step was to deal with the most important Liaodong soldiers. Although Yang Guang was somewhat guarded against these Liaodong soldiers, it was related to the borders of the Sui Dynasty, and even more to his personal martial arts. He had no reason to abandon Liaodong immediately because of a little suspicion. Such behavior was not something he could do, a king who was comparable to Qin and Han Wu.
"This time, Chen Pojun and more than 100,000 soldiers in the Liaodong camp worked hard and made great contributions. If they had any punishment, they would be rewarded. I have been stingy with rewards. I have rewarded Liaodong soldiers several times before. However, considering that Liaodong is too far from the Central Plains and the transportation of money and grain is inconvenient, I finally discussed with several ministers and made a solution."
"From today, the Liaodong camp will be disbanded on the spot, and more than 100,000 soldiers will be converted into government soldiers. Seventy Yingyang Prefectures have been established in the seven counties of Liaodong, a total of 84,000 people, each of which is 1,200. Each prefecture has one fifth-rank Yingyang General, one fifth-rank Yingji General, one fifth-rank Yingji General, the other three sixth-rank Yueqi Captains, three regular cavalry captains, one seventh-rank Sima, one seventh-rank chief, and another sixth-rank chief military officer, the eighth-rank sixth-rank chief, twenty-fourth deputy to the ninth-rank team."
According to Yang Guang's plan, among the 100,000 soldiers in Liaodong camp, only 70 fifth-rank Eagle Yang Lang, 70 fifth-rank Eagle Fighter, 420 sixth-rank lieutenants, 70 seventh-rank Sima, and 70 seventh-rank chiefs. Among them, 420 eighth-rank sixth-rank military officers, 1,680 ninth-rank team chiefs, and 1,680 ninth-rank team deputy team deputy. A total of 4,480 officers at all levels, which is equivalent to three-quarters of the referee compared to more than 10,000 previous officers.
In the fifth rank, each county has a fourth-rank chief commander and a fourth-rank deputy commander. The troops and horses in charge are different from those of the prefectures and are border military county soldiers. In addition, at some important passes, there are also military towns, where the town generals are from the fourth rank, the deputy generals are from the fourth rank, the chief and Sima are from the seventh rank, and there are also six Caos.
There are seven commanders and seven deputy commanders in the seven counties in Liaodong. There are nine military towns, and there are nine generals and nine deputy commanders. In this way, Yang Guang arranged all the officers of the fifth rank or above in the Liaodong camp, sixteen fourth rank and sixteen fourth rank. Basically, the generals who were in charge of the general and above in the camp were assigned to these positions.
The entire Liaodong camp was divided into three parts, one part was the government soldiers, with the largest number of troops, with 120,000 troops. One part was the seven counties and counties, with 3,000 troops in each county, with a total of 21,000 troops. One part was the Jiuguan Army Town, with 3,000 troops and 27,000 troops in each gate. The government soldiers were 84,000 troops, 21,000 troops in the county, and 27,000 troops in the town, with a total of 130,000 troops.
All the scattered officials and honorary officials who were originally given, except for Chen Kefu, Li Benlei, Li Jie, Mao Xi, Mao Yi and other seven others, also retained scattered officials, honorary officials and titles. All other soldiers, regardless of their height, were abolished. All the former marching generals, including Mao Yi, Lu Shishen, etc., all became generals of each town or commanders of each county.
Rewards, military pay, including military merit rewards, were all gone. Yang Guang Yuyu's one piece of the mouth, and everything was replaced with land in Liaodong. Each soldier was granted 120 mu of Yongye land, 120 mu of koudi land, and the land must be returned after death. In addition, all military merits were converted according to the size and size, and were granted to the land from Liaodong. Yongye land and the land must not be bought or sold, but those who migrate or die and cannot be buried can sell Yongye land.
All officers can not only be able to grant land, but also have food and wages, and also have jobs assigned by positions, including 15 hectares of the fourth rank, 10 hectares of the fourth rank, 8 hectares of the fifth rank, 6 hectares of the fifth rank, 4 hectares of the fifth rank, 4 hectares of the seventh rank, 2 hectares of the seventh rank. 100 acres of the eighth rank, 80 acres of the eighth rank, 60 acres of the nineth rank, and 40 acres of the ninth rank. All jobs and land are not allowed to be traded, and are handed over to the successor when they leave.
In addition, for those civilians in Liaodong, the emperor also ordered that they all stay in Liaodong. Each of them could get 80 mu of Yongye land and 80 mu of entourage land. Whether it is soldiers, officers or civilians, as long as their relatives are willing to move to Liaodong, the land will be divided according to the head. A man over 15 years old will be given 20 mu of Yongye land, 40 mu of entourage land, 20 mu of women's Yongye land, 40 mu of entourage land, and 40 mu of entourage land, and slaves will also give land. It is also stipulated that if you have a cow in the family, each cow will be given more than five mu of land, and only four cows are allowed.
For the people of the Central Plains, those who voluntarily enter Liaodong, the number of people who are over 15 years old is granted 20 mu of Yongye land, 40 mu of estuary land, 20 mu of women's Yongye land, and 40 mu of estuary land. The entire land is the newly built land of Liao people, so Yang Guang is very generous, which is much larger than the amount of land given by Zhongyuan. However, these Liaodong lands have low output, and most of them are raw land and need to be rotated. Therefore, if the land obtained by the family is hard work and not affected by war, warmth and self-sufficiency can be guaranteed. If you cannot survive in the Central Plains, you are absolutely willing to go to Liaodong and seek a way out.
Seeing the officials who announced the imperial edicts, they all arranged all the soldiers, civil servants and others in Liaodong. There was no reward of money and grain in kind, and they were all converted into land. Even those soldiers and civil servants who died in battle also converted into land.
The entire Liaodong is as big as the Jianghuai River in the Central Plains. It can be said that there are countless lands, especially after passing the south of Daliang River, where the terrain is wide and the land is better. If you pass the Yalu River, it will be a plain, with fertile fields and a similar climate to the southern part of the Central Plains. With such a large area of land, there are only about 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, and the Liao people in Liaodong are only more than one million. Such a large area of land can accommodate five million people.
After hearing all the arrangements for the Liaodong soldiers, the ministers began to care about the arrangements of the four highest generals of the camp, including Chen Pojun and Li Benlei. Lian Yuwen Shu and others were all expectant. Yang Guang had discussed with them for a long time just now, but in the end he did not make a final decision.
They only knew that Yang Guang had made up his mind and would keep Chen Kefu in Liaodong. However, the Liaodong camp had been disbanded and all the troops were scattered. It was still unknown how Chen Kefu would arrange it.
Yang Guang took a hand scroll and handed it to the Xuanzhi official who was standing beside him. The Xuanzhi official stepped forward and stretched out his hands to hold the hand scroll in Yang Guang's hand. According to the Sui system, the imperial edict must be drafted by the Secretariat, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Provincial Government issued it. After such a complete procedure, this is a legal decree. If there is no response to the three provinces, or even one province has not passed, it cannot be an imperial edict. At most it is only an imperial edict, and the emperor's imperial edict is invalid except for some private matters and major affairs in the court.
However, by Yang Guang's time, his father's trick had almost been broken. Among the three provinces, there was no serious official, so no one dared not to pass his will. So at this time, this handbook was equivalent to the imperial edict passed by the three provinces.
However, no one knew what this imperial edict was at this time, but he only knew vaguely that it was the reward and appointment of generals such as Chen Kefu.
