Chapter 427: Shihu
Xia Houlan didn't dare to delay more, and transferred him from the front line, and he had no intention of disintegrating the military power.
As long as Tian Xin is there, whether he is on the front line or elsewhere, he can't cross Tian Xin to command the Hunan army and the Han servant army.
He went all the way north to urgently give back Tian Xin's true intentions to Guan Yu, and Hou Shenyi, Shouzhen Township, Lingling County, and Tian Ji, Shoutian Ji of Wuling County, also responded to Guan Yu's call and began to recruit county soldiers and large and small ships.
It's just that the soldiers of Lingling County gathered in the area of the county town and Xiangguan, and the soldiers of Wuling County gathered in the area of the mouth of the Youjiang River, but did not assemble in Jiangdu.
When he came to Jiangdu, the crown prince Liu Chan and most of the officials and institutions of the imperial court also arrived in Jiangdu one after another.
The streets in Jiangdu City were full of vegetarian food, and when Xia Houlan rode through the ox cart, she listened to the cries on both sides of the street, far and near, and her heart was extremely heavy.
It is one thing for the vast majority of naval warships to be burned and to fall into a strategic disadvantage, so the work of compensating and pacifying the fallen officers is a very heavy problem.
If this problem is not solved, it will not be possible to start the next war.
This war trauma needs time to recuperate, and it also needs to be substantially subsidized with materials.
Next year's Northern Expedition will run out of room for development.
"Since the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Jingzhou has not fought all year round, and many officials have been adrift all year round, and it is difficult to reunite with their families. The officials grieved and their families were grieved, so that the livelihood of the families tended to be ruined. β
Pei Jun, who greeted Xiahoulan, walked in the same car, and said in a low tone: "Although the counties have organized widows and widowers to marry and reorganize the portal, the results have been minimal. The people already have the heart of despising the scholars, and they are unwilling to marry the daughters of the scholars, nor are they willing to marry the daughters of the scholars. The scholars were dissatisfied, and they intended to abolish the scholars and promote the system of government soldiers. β
The miserable life of many scholars cannot be described in words, but it is told in public...... It is a kind of disrespect to the imperial court.
War, victory, capture, and low casualties were the fundamental reasons for Jingzhou's Shihu to fight for seven or eight consecutive years.
This huge casualty has broken this relatively virtuous cycle, and too many problems have erupted.
A fundamental problem also broke out, except for the Beifu soldiers, almost all the officials of the Han army in each department had complete families.
Now in addition to the military issues to be resolved, it is also necessary to resolve the demands of the families of the fallen officers.
This demand has its own legitimacy and necessity, but it is somewhat out of touch with the continuous war environment since the end of the Han Dynasty.
Pei Jun didn't say anything in detail, but just let Xia Houlan understand that the most important thing now is not the military, but to appease and give back to the dissatisfaction and interests of the scholars.
According to the rules, Xiahou Lan first took a bath in the hall, changed into a new red robe, and went to report to the shogunate, waiting for Guan Yu to meet and ask about the south.
The shogunate was built in the old city, which was as simple as the simple Jiangdu Imperial Palace, and the Jiangdu Imperial Palace was also divided into the North Palace and the South Palace.
The reform of Shihu is a fundamental matter related to the imperial court, and it is not at all something that the Jiangdu imperial court, Liu Chan, and Guan Yu can decide, and this issue must be reported to Chengdu and ruled by Liu Bei.
If it is a Shihu in Yizhou, 30,000 people were killed...... Even if the family has a demand, it can be suppressed.
But the scholars in Jingzhou are different, Liu Bei's main force in Shu comes from these households, and the main force under Guan Yu comes from these households.
For nearly ten years of the Han Dynasty's southern and northern wars, many middle-level military officials grew up in this group of scholars, and they were all placed in Jiangdu City, and any emotions they fed back could be directly and clearly conveyed to the Jiangdu court.
At the same time, these scholars lived in Jiangdu City and were accustomed to seeing the scenery of the metropolis, so their thinking was naturally different from that of scholars in other places.
They have too many ideas, and the rigid, rigid system of shihu is also in their eyes ready for change.
For example, in order to restrict the households, they can only engage in handicrafts and cannot participate in commercial operations; However, the increasing prosperity of commerce in Jiangdu has led to the rise of prices, and the scholars have no land to cultivate, so they cannot produce food by themselves.
As a result, it is a sad phenomenon that the rewards and captures brought by soldiers in foreign battles cannot meet the daily expenses of the family!
This is still a situation where the households can barely get paid for their manual work...... This can't be blamed on Li Yan, Shihu is a big man, and this is not what Li Yan dares to manage.
If you optimize the living conditions of the scholars, then it is appropriate for you to be suspected of inviting the military heart; If you are harsh...... Therefore, Li Yan can't manage the life demands of the household.
There are restrictions on the movement of scholars, and there are various restrictions on going to Maicheng to work or going out of the city to work as a hired laborer.
On the contrary, it is not as good as the military system of the northern government, where the government soldiers are concentrated and settled, divided into areas for reclamation, and self-reliance; And the neighbors on the left and right are all in the army, there is no comparison, they have to be poor together, and they have food to eat together.
But the scholars in Jiangdu obviously shed blood and sweat for the Han Dynasty, but their lives were not as good as those of the small merchants in the city, and they were even less comfortable than the people who moved outside the city.
Now there is no need for the protection brought by the Jiangdu city wall, and the scholars are eager to change the current passive fate, but also to change the fate of their descendants.
After Jiangdu became one of the Kyotos of the New Han Empire, too many people planned land outside Jiangdu to build manors and live together, and their various handmade products would further compress the living environment of Jiangdu Shihu.
These Haoqiang manors are different from Maicheng, Maicheng's specialties are fixed, and there is no extra manpower to produce other things, so they can live in harmony with Jiangdu Shihu.
Haoqiang Manor is different, what can be profitable is produced; The handicraft collectives of Jiangdu Shihu are in opposition to the growing number of powerful estates.
During the golden time of wasteland reclamation outside the city, the scholars were confined to the city to process and make logistical baggage for the army; While officials and ministers purchased cheap land outside the city, scholars were still restricted in their personal freedom, and there was no way to expand their industries and means of production.
Shihu is a very sensitive group, and showing favor to them is a real invitation to the military.
Compared with Jiangdu Shihu, Xiangyang Shihu committed suicide in LΓΌ Chang, and when the defenders surrendered to the Han army, Shihu was transferred to the management of the Han army.
There was a Li Heng in Xiangyang Shihu, who was injured in the first battle of Maicheng, stayed in the wounded barracks, was appreciated by Tian Xin, and embarked on a serious career. In addition, other scholars have no chance to stand out except for going to the battlefield to cut people and be promoted.
As for Beifu, it is still actively promoting education, and at least 600 people can be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant in Beifu twice a year, and then embark on a career in office, so that they can get more educational opportunities and promotion opportunities.
The same is to be a soldier, and Jiangdu Shihu has been dissatisfied for a long time.
The same is also a hard work, at the beginning, the Yidu Yi Barracks and the Yi Barracks transferred to Tian Xin by Xiahoulan, these Yi soldiers all got the opportunity to receive education in Tian Xin's hands.
But what about Jiangdu Shihu?
For various reasons, they became unspeakable existences, ignored all demands, and became the cornerstone of the rapid development of the Han army.
The current defeat is just an introduction.
Guan Yu has also been worried about this problem for a long time, not that he doesn't know, it's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but he can't manage it.
In the name of his daughter, Tian Xinneng obtained the land of Deng State for reclamation and resettlement of subordinates; The reason is that most of the people who need to be resettled are from Guanlong's hometown, and they will definitely follow Tian Xin to transfer and migrate in the future.
And the Jiangdu taxis are registered here, and if they are organized into government soldiers, they will officially be subordinate to the Guan family...... So in the future, when the Guan family is transferred, will these soldiers who have been reorganized from the Shihu be relocated?
If you don't relocate, will the treatment of the soldiers be retained?
The government soldiers are a system of cultivation and warfare, and only those who stay in border counties and areas with frequent wars can survive healthily and forever; If you stay in Jiangdu, you will only be corrupted and degenerate.
Prosperity and wealth can make the government soldiers, but also make the scholars degenerate and slack; But poverty doesn't.
Maintaining the impoverished livelihood of the Jiangdu Shihu is also a key factor in maintaining combat effectiveness.
Saving families from starvation is one of the sources of strength that motivates and motivates soldiers to fight.
I thought that there would be a smooth transition, but I didn't expect a big defeat to detonate this problem.
The issue of military accountability for the defeat and the dissatisfaction of the Shihu are two concurrent headaches, and these two incidents can barely be postponed.
In addition, there is also the serious incident of Beifu getting out of control, and Lu Yi took the initiative to connect with He Qi; and Zhang Wen's refusal and resignation from the imperial court to pay homage to Wei Weiqing.
Tian Xin was not there, and his daughter hid from anyone, so the court directly communicated with Beifu about the problem...... Barely able to communicate.
Whether it is the transfer of materials, the change of military defense, or personnel issues, the orders sent by the General's Office on behalf of the imperial court have not been returned.
The old subordinates died too many in battle, Guan Ping was seriously injured but did not die, too many things were pressed on his body, and Tian Xin was urgently needed to mediate and share.
But Tian Xin didn't come, and sent Xiahou Lan back.
