At this time, Yun Shao also sat on the bed, and Gao Yue pointed to his wife's knee and motioned for Frosting Biluo to jump up.

"Woohoo." Frosting Biluo raised his head, his beard shaking, and he couldn't stop screaming, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with Gao Yue.

But the master's face was as cold as ice, and he was obviously very gentle with the female.

This kind of face was a wordless and terrifying oppression for Frosty Biluo, and in the end, out of fear, she still jumped on Yun Shao's lap.

"Frosting, Ah Ni is your housewife, and she can't be like Qiao Qiao in the future." The words of the master came.

Then Frosting Biro raised her big eyes, and saw that the master mother had four small nests of crispy hands, and pressed them down.

"Female, you don't want to conquer me!" Frosting Biro gritted his teeth and thought stubbornly.

However, when her head was touched by Yun Shao's little crispy hand, her tail began to explode - that day in the pavilion, she was touched by everyone together, humiliated and resentful, and she couldn't remember who felt it - but now this feeling, this feeling, is actually damn fat!

A quarter of an hour later, Icing Biluo opened her belly, tilted her neck, her eyes squinted, and the white hair on her chin was stroked back and forth by Yun Shao with a smile, and she couldn't help but make a cooing sound, which indicated that she was extremely comfortable, even more comfortable than smoking rosemary.

At this time, Frosting Biro turned his head indistinctly, "I can't go back......"

A few days later, the Zhaoyi Army's forward army Sima, the former soldier and horse envoy Li Wentong, and the former soldier and horse envoy Shi Dingfan and the following 55 people were all beheaded at the foot of the Dog Ridge in Dongshi to set an example.

At the same time, all the officers and men of the Fenghua Army, the Fengcheng Army, and the Zhaoyi Army who participated in the counterinsurgency suddenly got a recital that shook the imperial court.

It's not just these three teams.

All the officers and men of the Dingwu and Yining armies, who had previously established special honors in the battle to recover Helong, also expressed the same idea to the imperial court through a letter written by Su Yan, the secretary of the head of the army, Su Yan (after Quan Deyu entered Beijing, Dr. Su Yan was in charge of the secretary of the dynasty).

That is, the language is euphemistic, and the attitude resolutely refuses the emperor's reward for their promotion!

But these notes were not directly addressed to the emperor, but to Zhongshu Province, that is, they were shown to Gao Yue first.

The name is "Xianning County King (Hun Xuan) Recital Request Not to Record the Soldiers" and almost the same "Inspection of the Right Scattered Cavalry Standing Servant Dingwu Military Envoy (Gao Gu) Recital Please Not Record the Soldiers on the Middle School Petition".

After Gao Yue himself read these copies, he printed dozens of them, circulated them to other officials in charge and the entire Zhongshu sect, and then presented them to the emperor.

As a result, both the emperor and the consuls were shocked.

For the emperor, the reward fixed for meritorious soldiers for so many years was to follow the old system and promote their ranks.

When the Fengtian City was sown before, the emperor had uniformly promoted the seventh-rank soldiers and honorable officers who went from the dragon to the difficulty; Later, after the recovery of Helong, the same was true after the pacification of Yuzhou.

But in the performance, whether it is Hezhong, Hedong, Xingyuan, Fengxiang's soldiers, they are not willing to accept promotions anymore.

The reason is actually very simple, but it is also very ironic, according to what Hun Yang let the secretary Lu Lun said in the recital, there have been floods in the four states of Hezhong recently, and the food is not rich, and the soldiers are half-full when they go to fight in Zhaozhou, thanks to the presiding over of the prime minister of the imperial court, let Wang Shao make every effort to supply, so as not to run out of food, and now after the war, the soldiers are rejoicing in the victory of the country, but before His Majesty asked Yousi to come to our team, to describe our ranks, and also filled in our names and the dates of the awards, and sent them to Zhongshu Province, but it, although "picking up the promotion, each thinking is favored", but "the ink is simple, there is no capital", so it is still "Xu and the right is not recorded", risking death to hear about it, hoping that the emperor will allow Yunyun.

To put it simply, His Majesty is willing to honor us, which is really a grace and should be grateful, but when the honoring document is to pay us the money on vermilion silk paper and pen and ink seals, we would rather not have this honor, thank you.

"......" The emperor who saw the content of this performance looked very embarrassed, so embarrassed that he was about to squeeze out water.

Soon, the Yanying Hall opened, and the emperor's topic was why this was the case, and the rank was actually disliked by the soldiers to such a degree? How about I would like to pay the soldiers in advance for the Zhu Jiao Silk paper?

In fact, the emperor knew that the soldiers' refusal to honor the honor was ostensibly for economic reasons, but in fact it was the army's dissociation and weakness of the authority of the state.

Even the always loyal Dingwu, Yining, Fenghua and other armies are like this, not to mention the teams of other Fang towns.

Through the incident of "not recording the rank of soldiers", the emperor seemed to vaguely see something essential, but he still couldn't explain it clearly, so he held a meeting of the prime minister in Yanying Palace.

Lu Zhen explained the reason in one sentence, and he said to the emperor: "During the Tianbao period, the state also issued a special edict to prohibit the children of the powerful Jiamen from being sent into the army to compete for the honor, but this also shows that the people at that time still attached great importance to the rank; However, today, the soldiers refused to describe the ranks, and the root cause was that the ranks were completely useless, and it was reasonable to pay a sum of money for them. ”

"What Jingyu said is extremely true, the previous military merits could be used as a promotion for sergeants, but now they have completely become a piece of waste paper, which can't help but make people sigh." Jia Tan agreed.

Du Huangshang added: "Before the Year of Tianbao, soldiers joined the army for the word 'meritorious', and meritorious service on the battlefield had a ladder to go up, so at that time, the army valued identity and honors; Your Majesty wants to record the ranks, and they refuse, but they can give cloth and money, how can they refuse? ”

Gao Yue on the side also knows:

This is a sign of the transition from the classical military system to the medieval military system.

Under the classical military system, people with assets and status went to serve as soldiers, the purpose was to be promoted and obtain political capital, that is, to form a military aristocratic class;

But in the Middle Ages, in order to prevent chaos, the country was very wary of soldiers seeking political capital, and preferred to replace it with economic rewards, which also led to the majority of soldiers, more and more greedy for affordable economic rewards, as long as there is money, kill anyone, but if there is no money, anyone will be killed. And to enlist in the army, you don't need any assets or identity things, bankrupts, hooligans, and criminals are pouring in, this is the truth of the "proud soldier group" in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

The festival is not terrible, but it is this group of arrogant soldiers that is terrible.

In other words, it was the military who supported the army, and now it is the army that feeds the soldiers.

The contractual relationship has been completely reversed.

After the Tang Dynasty adopted the two-tax law, the imperial court only extracted the part of the tax that was offered, and the rest was handed over to the Jiedu envoy, and you were at your disposal to feed the Fangzhen army.

Therefore, under the feudal town system, the most guilty person is not the imperial court, but actually the temperance envoy. The Tang also relied on this equilibrium and continued to exist for one hundred and fifty years after the Anshi Rebellion.

Later, the Song Dynasty's solution was to exhaust all means to pump all the local taxes into the hands of the imperial court or the emperor, and then raise the army in captivity.

It is very ironic that in the end, how to run the military system well, the road of the Tang Dynasty is a slow death, and the road of the Song is a sudden death, which is not very feasible, and this confusion is now placed in front of Gao Yue's eyes.
