Chapter 90: The Yellow Turban Rises (4)
The mansion is too guarded, full of gentry, but the atmosphere is very weird. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone has a strange look on their faces, their mouths are speechless, but the contact and communication of their eyes continue to continue.
On the main seat, Liu Bei has a golden sword, holding a bronze bottle and pouring himself at his own discretion. From time to time, he swept his eyes at the crowd. Just now, he proposed that he was ordered to recruit a large army, and in the near future, he would send the king's division north to seek thieves and people. However, there was a shortage of food and grass in the army, and the war situation was like fire. I hope that all patriots and loyal monarchs can generously donate money to fund one or two.
The gentry below are full of bitter water in their hearts, Liu Bei was originally in power and dictatory, and now he is the commander of one party, and the military power is in hand, even though he knows that Liu Bei is a reasonable person in the past relationship, but now the situation is not good, if he is annoyed, the consequences are really worrying.
The most important thing is that Liu Bei did not say a specific amount of funding, and only said that everything was voluntary. Liu Bei has been in Bajun for a long time, and the assets of each family are geometric, doesn't he have a number in his heart? Everything is voluntary, donate more to your own heartache, donate less to your own heart, this, how is it good...... Looking at Liu Bei who was comfortable on the throne, the anger in his heart rose unconsciously. When he gritted his teeth secretly, he saw Liu Bei's face with a smile on his face, and everyone suddenly sobered up again. This man is not a soft-hearted man.
So, Li Muran imagined in his heart that he dragged Liu Bei down and beat him violently and then stepped on 10,000 feet, and after feeling refreshed, he bowed his hand to Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Envoy, serve the country, and we will do our duty." The soldiers are fighting in front, how can they bear to let him wait for starvation? Li is not talented and is willing to donate family resources...... to help the military. ”
With Li Muran taking the lead, so the gentry were unwilling to be unwilling, shouting how much food they donated, Liu Bei smiled, slapped his hand, and turned out a book behind the screen, and held a tray in his hand, which put pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Liu Bei motioned to everyone to write down the donation number one by one, and then said: "Thank you for your hospitality, the official is grateful, I will first salute you with a cup, and when the sea wave is calm, the official will set up a banquet to entertain everyone!" ”
Some people sighed secretly in their hearts, it seems that this Liu Bei has been prepared, otherwise how to Shuzuo is ready. Alas, that's it, donate it, although the flesh hurts, but it is worth spending money to buy peace. Liu Bei is gone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to Yizhou in this life, and what I lost today will always be earned back in the future. Many people comfort themselves in this way.
After the banquet was over, Liu Bei couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, he really didn't expect these people to be so tyrants, he really didn't plan to blackmail the Bajun gentry, after all, they are the backbone and pillars of this society, if he forces too hard, his reputation will not sound good in the future, and it really outweighs the loss. So he let everyone mean it, but the gentry of the county were cranky, and one by one they actually cut their flesh in pain. Looking at the series of numbers in the account book, how to make Liu Bei dislike? These timid guys, Liu Bei couldn't help but start to like them.
Liu Bei's wine banquet was placed, and nearly 100,000 stones of grain were raised, tens of millions of money, and countless other silk silks. These grains are enough to feed the army. However, Liu Bei did not recruit indiscriminately, but still adhered to the principle of preferring lack to abuse, and carefully selected. He knew that the military was dangerous, so he brought everyone out, and hoped to bring everyone back in the future. He disdains to fill and fight with human lives, and then win a war. He hoped that the army under his command would be all elite and strong, and that they would be able to fight and win in battle. This is the iron-blooded style of the Han army.
In view of the unpredictable situation of the war in the future, Liu Bei synthesized the Tibetan documents and issued the following order, all those who join the army will be exempted from land rent for the whole family until the soldiers are discharged, and the conscription will also be reduced or exempted according to the national policy; Those who join the army will have the same basic monthly salary, and those with special skills will be added as appropriate. The news came out, which further stimulated the people's enthusiasm for joining the army. You must know that in the past, they were all direct conscriptions, and at most they would give a reward after the battle. The land rent tax will be appropriately reduced, but it will not be exempted. As for the monthly money, it is even more amazing. There is no monthly salary for conscription, and there is only one for recruitment, but it has never been so high. Liu Bei can be said to have set a precedent.
So someone in the family joined the army, and they were beaming. And if there is no one at home or cannot be selected, they will begin to sigh. But I don't know, Liu Bei is still just beginning, he has planned it, and when he can really raise soldiers in the future, a series of benefits such as settling-in allowance and funeral expenses will be launched one after another, and he wants to let everyone in the world know that he is Liu Bei's soldier and works hard for him Liu Bei, it is worth it!
The Han Dynasty treats officials extremely harshly, and the ministers of the three princes can be reused after they are dismissed, all of which can start from petty officials. It was countless people in later generations who complained that the Han generation had never been courteous to ministers. Not to mention the treatment of military personnel. Don't dare to say anything else, Liu Bei can at least pat his chest and vouch for his army, and the treatment is definitely the first-class level in the current Han court.
However, the treatment of the army is guaranteed, but the loyalty and combat effectiveness of the army must also be guaranteed. Liu Bei didn't believe in anything, only in discipline. A brave and strong army, if it has no military discipline, defeat can be seen. An army with mediocre combat effectiveness, if it is highly disciplined, Liu Bei is also confident that he will be trained to become a heroic teacher who dominates the world.
Thus, after the selection of 5,000 strong men, the first priority in the barracks was not to teach the military formation and issue weapons, but to emphasize discipline. Yan Yan was temporarily appointed as a military judge, and he tirelessly emphasized the "beheading of those who do not obey orders" over and over again, and then gathered people to line up in the school field every day after the three drums. One stop is two hours. On the platform, Liu Bei's whole body was draped, his face was like frost, he was not angry and self-threatening, he stood by the sword, and stood together.
Queue, was his first request. While training the soldiers to obey orders, they are also cultivating their stamina. Especially the barbarians who came out of the mountains and fields, all of them were full of energy, but they were awkward when they stood quietly for two hours. These days, the court-martials have dragged these brutes out and spanked in full view of everyone. After the fight, Yan Yan would yell: "Let Jun Waier and other family members be paid, and the moon will be paid." If you can't do such simple requirements, what's the use of waiting? Tell you to wait for Pocai, there are so many sons and daughters waiting outside to enter the camp! All the ones stand up straight for Lao Tzu! Don't let the envoy look down on you! ”
Not to mention, ordinary farmers are the most obedient, they came to serve Liu Bei with gratitude, but they didn't expect to be treated so well after coming in. Eat better than at home, have money to take, and be exempt from some taxes in the family, where can you find such good things in the world? As for the death of people in war, in today's troubled times, people's lives are as cheap as grass, where will no one die one day? Those who starved to death, those who were robbed and killed by thieves, everywhere. Follow the envoy, alive to serve the envoy, for the benefit of the family, after the death of the envoy I heard that the envoy still has a proper placement. According to the character of the envoy, he is still afraid that he will be disabled and die, so that he can treat himself and his family badly? The farmer is the most simple and the most clever. The little abacus in my heart is crackling, but I know it better than anyone else. So I studied hard one by one. In a short period of time, not only can I clearly distinguish the left and right, but I can also hold my breath and stand meticulously for two hours on the school field.
Liu Bei was very satisfied with these farmers, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that Grandpa Qi recruited soldiers in later generations, and he liked the common people who farmed. Loyalty, honesty, and high plasticity. What gave Liu Bei a headache was those thorns who had some ability. One by one, they were all pretentious in the past, they were the source of some troubles, if it weren't for their bad nature, Liu Bei would have taken them to sacrifice the flag. Now I have come to join the army, and I am also aiming to make a fortune and receive rewards for meritorious service. It's okay in front of Liu Bei, very well-behaved, and he knows that he can't annoy the military master. Yan Yan is not so well-behaved, he waited from all over the place, saw that Yan Yan was young, and he didn't know Yan Yan's past, and thought that Yan Yan was not in a high position with his true skills, where was he willing to accept in his heart, so there was always a smell of yin and yang in his words, and he was still very slippery, which always made Yan Yan unable to do anything. Yan Yan is also a person with a fiery personality, this day annoyed him, and said to the gang with a calm face: "I specialize in some lip service, and I am a very good man, there are kinds, you dare to come to the school, isn't it just to look at the position of the master, which wins the master, the master will immediately abdicate and make way for the virtuous, there will be no lies." Which one dares to come and compete with the master? ”
Aren't all the thorns just waiting for this sentence? Liu Bei still followed the binary system of the Han Dynasty in the army, but he ingeniously introduced the military rank system of later generations. Generally, the new recruits are ordinary soldiers, and then those who are proficient in martial arts and skilled in bows and horses are high-class soldiers. If a senior soldier doesn't say anything else, his monthly money will be two hundred dollars more than that of an ordinary soldier. And for the commander of the army, there is also another salary, and on the whole, Liu Bei's army is treated really well. But no matter how good it is, how can it have the majesty of Yan Yan, a military judge? The thorns have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they are all very high-spirited, and they are not red and hot when they see this position. Seeing that Yan Yan finally couldn't help but provoke, he grinned and squinted one by one, giggling, and followed Yan Yan and went to the school with his fists rubbed.
As a result, needless to say, they all came back in embarrassment with blue noses and swollen faces. Yan Yan put the last challenger on the ground, stepped on the man's chest, and said disdainfully: "When a certain family envoy Junping was in chaos in this county and killed all directions, you still don't know where to beg for food!" With such skills, you dare to come to your family's Yan Ye's tiger whiskers? Hmph, get out, if you don't listen to my orders next time, it's not as simple as eating a meal of punches and kicks, you must know that Yan Ye's big knife hasn't drunk blood for a long time! ”
A riot subsided. Liu Bei saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, he couldn't imagine that Yan Yan would be so despised one day.
When the whole army was almost in order, Zhang Fei and others also arrived in Ba County. Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the news, turned over and got on his horse, Yan Yan personally protected the left and right, led a group of men and horses, and went straight out of the camp.
