Chapter 102 Military Field System
"What? Brother, do you really want to divide the land for our artillery soldiers? That's not OK!"
In Yangzhou City, the Artillery Army camp. On the day when the Artillery Army opened with the camp, Chen Dexing announced his latest decision to more than 20 students, namely the artillery army backbones, including the Qionghualou brothers.
Monk Liu suddenly shouted anxiously: "No! A Daming Temple and hundreds of Taoist certificates are enough to be jealous, and he has to divide the land for tens of thousands of soldiers. This is something that Yue Wumu and Yu Qiaoyin have never done before!"
‘Yes, so they all died!’ Chen Dexing sneered in his heart, ‘If it were Yue Fei and Yu Jie’s soldiers could be one with them, would the officials of the Song Dynasty dare to kill them?’
Chen Dexing's eyes slowly swept through the class, bringing everyone's appearance into his eyes, including Lu Shihu, and everyone's fears appeared.
Chen Dexing smiled faintly and said, "Where are tens of thousands of soldiers? Those who are reborn are not allowed to get land in Huainan. If you want it, you will fight back to the north and ask the Mongolians for it!"
The sadness on everyone's faces was even stronger... The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was similar to the military tyrants who were entrusted with troops - this was not a taboo of the Song Dynasty's officials. Except for Song Gaozong who was really unwilling to fight the Northern Expedition, Song Guangzong was short-lived and trapped in housework (worrying that his wife would lose power), Xiaozong, Ningzong and Zhao Yun, the current official, all launched a failed Northern Expedition. Now, the Northern Expedition has become a thorn in the hearts of the people and scholars in Jiangnan, and no one wants to think about it or mention it.
However, Chen Dexing did not mention the Northern Expedition again. After a change of topic, he mentioned the distribution of land. "In this battle, my artillery army has made contributions. I can be no less than fifty officials, and I can be promoted to deputy lieutenant. There are more than three hundred lieutenants, and the remaining more than one thousand people are all useful. My intention is to divide the land should be a system of our artillery army. In addition to being promoted, the generals with meritorious soldiers must also be given additional land. Anyone with an official position will be divided according to the regulations that I discussed with the generals yesterday. The land will not be added. The lieutenant and deputy lieutenant have a total of nine levels of utility (the lieutenant and deputy lieutenant have eight levels). Any lieutenant can obtain thirty acres of land and harbor them to our Chen family. The lieutenant will increase ten acres of each level. Any soldiers who follow us after the battle will be assigned land and family members according to the level of the time of death. Those who have family members will be given land and land, and those who have no family members will be given a Taoist certificate, and they can be placed in Daming Temple and followed Taoist Master Ren and Taoist Master Liu to learn magic."
Learning magic... It is not about learning to catch ghosts, draw talismans and read Feng Shui, but about learning to refine gunpowder! This Ming Dynasty View is not only a place where Chen Dexing arranges wounded soldiers and worships the spiritual positions of soldiers who died in battle, but also a secret stronghold for producing and configuring gunpowder - of course, it is just a temporary stronghold. When Chen Dexing's fleet can really cross the sea in the future, he can naturally find a safer island overseas as a fundamental stronghold.
Chen Dexing paused and said, "The above are the regulations of our artillery army... The soldiers in our artillery army are all a family, and they are brothers! We brothers are naturally taking care of our brothers, and there is nothing to say."
"Brother, I, Evil Hu, know that you are loyal enough, but the court..." Lu Hu, the evil man, also stood up and bowed, "Brother Qingzhi, why don't we discuss it again?"
"No need!" Chen Dexing waved his hand and said in a stern manner, "This time, our army must be the vanguard! The soldiers guard their hometowns in Lianghuai, and they are willing to fight to the death. Why did they fight when they arrived in Sichuan? Why did they die? If we cannot help them get away with their worries, the Western Aid battle will be defeated but not won, and our brothers will die without death. What else can we worry about? If Western Aid wins, I will be too late to release my military power and enter the court, and go to study for a Jinshi Chief Executive Officer, right?"
Lu Hu stamped his feet: "Oh, my brother is going to take the Jinshi exam, what should the evil tiger do? Do you have to study and practice calligraphy too?"
Gao Da smiled bitterly and said, "The evil tiger, reading and practicing calligraphy is also a boy's skill. We are so old that we can't learn it, so we have to go home to support ourselves."
Monk Liu also said: "If my elder brother doesn't join the army, Monk Liu will also resign from his post and go home to retire!"
"Yes! Brother quit, we won't do it... Instead of following others to get angry, it's better to resign and retire to retire!"
"Our official is given by our elder brother, we only listen to our elder brother!"
The Qionghualou brothers in the wing room expressed their opinions - just listen to Chen Dexing! This is not casually speaking, but taking it seriously! Now it is no longer the Emperor Gaozong Dynasty, nor is it the Northern Song Dynasty that was in normal times. With the increasing collapse of the Song Dynasty's finances, there is no longer enough financial resources to distribute copper coins as military pay. Of course, the arrogant soldiers below could not fight the Mongolians hungry. They all had their own financial resources, either embezzling the land in the war zone, operating various transactions, or embezzling official wealth and property. In short, they all did not rely on the court's wealth! The army of Lianghuai, Jinghu, and Sichuan were already half in finance!
And the army with a half-financial finance will naturally not obey the Southern Song court as before. This is the main reason why the Sichuan army can launch a rebellion and lead troops to surrender to Mongolia. In the future, there will be Liu Zheng, who will be in office and appease the whole way, and Kublai Khan will rebel with 300,000 yuan, thus opening the prelude to the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty...
Seeing that the brothers all supported him, Chen Dexing waved his hand and shouted, "What a disheartening thing? We are warriors. Now we are in troubled times. If we really can fight, how can the court not use it? Today's official family is a saint, so we will know that our brothers have worked hard! Now, I will continue to teach you how to fight a water battle."
...
"This Chen Dexing...is really good at doing things!"
In the Yangzhou Fushiyaya, a treacherous minister was leaning on the brocade bed, his eyes seemed to be closed, but he just heard Lu Shihu report what Chen Dexing did in the past few days. He was holding a memorial to report the news of the victory of the Lianghuai to the official Zhao Yun.
"Qunyu, Xiangfu, what do you think?"
There was silence in the room, and it took Liao Yingzhong a while to break the silence: "My husband, it's the time to use people now... As Chen Dexing said, whether they can come back alive from Sichuan! He is doing this now, although it is a bit taboo, it can indeed inspire soldiers to fight to the death. If such a warrior is idle, who will expel the Mongolian Khan?" He suddenly paused and lowered his voice, "As far as the officials know, all the generals of the Sichuan army are respectful!"
Jia Sidao sighed: "The rules and regulations of this dynasty are indeed not as good as before!"
Li Tingzhi shook his head: "My husband, the problem now is not the rules but the money... Huizi's depreciation day is even more than a day, and it will become waste paper if it goes on. How can the military generals below be willing to use their lives? I think this method of dividing the land is good, so it is better to fully implement it in the two Huai Army. If the soldiers have land, they will really defend their country."
Jia Sidao frowned: "Let's think of a solution after I enter the court."
Liao Yingzhong asked: "My husband, what about Chen Dexing?"
"Let's use it first!" Jia Sidao pressed his temple, "Who else can he use it without it? Now the army of the two Huai Rivers is the most powerful... Use it first. When the Northern Barbarians retreat, I will give him a lifetime of wealth and honor, and are you still afraid that he will not hand over the military power?"
Liao Yingzhong smiled and said, "I can't help but he!"
Li Tingzhi asked: "Would you like to hand over the Daming Temple to the Taoist Ren?"
Jia Sidao slapped the brocade bed and said, "Isn't it just a ruined temple? The monk has run away long ago, so it's okay to change it to a Taoist temple... I gave the Taoist priest two hundred Taoist certificates, and this matter will be done like this. I don't believe that a mere warrior can still make my palm?"
