Chapter 557 is still in the old capital
And those who are so seriously injured that they are disabled and unable to move, and who have lost their ability to survive, will also be supported and cared for by the state.
This is the treatment of dead and disabled soldiers, and soldiers who are still alive can obtain knighthood and nobility by virtue of their military merits.
Anyway, as long as you dare to fight, you will have the opportunity to become a master.
When a soldier has hope to fight, the combat effectiveness of the soldier can naturally be improved, and the Qin Dynasty, it is precisely because of the Shang Dynasty that the law was changed and the military merit system was implemented, that it slowly became stronger.
And when it came to Qin Shi Huang, although he unified the six countries, he destroyed the system, because in order to unify the six countries as soon as possible, he treated the old Qin people badly, and instead gave the nobles of the six countries very generous treatment.
Therefore, in the future, even the old Qin people were unwilling to die for the Qin State. The powerful Qin State finally fell apart, and although the reason for this was the brutality of the Qin State, it was not unrelated to Qin Shi Huang's destruction of the military merit system.
The Han Dynasty currently implements a military merit system, but Wei and Wu are not.
They practice the military household system, which is a household registration set up specifically for soldiers.
Under the military household, men were responsible for fighting wars, and women were responsible for giving birth and caring for children, and did not have to participate in labor.
But the children born are born and the boys grow up to continue to fight, and the girls marry men from the military family and then continue to have children.
Although men in military households do not have to worry about marrying a daughter-in-law, both men and women serve for the sake of war throughout their lives.
Mistakes are guilty, meritorious service is not rewarded, everything is for survival, there is no hope for life, under such a system, the combat effectiveness of soldiers cannot be raised at all.
Of course, it was not that Wei and Wu did not want to use the military merit system, but because there was no basis for implementation.
For example, if a soldier has made a meritorious service, he should be rewarded with land, money, etc.
At the beginning of Cao Pi's ascension to the throne of the Wei State, in some places, the monetary system was abandoned for a time, and the method of bartering was implemented, the money was useless, the price was unstable, and there was nowhere to spend the money, so what effect could it have on rewarding the soldiers?
As for Jiangdong, most of the fields are in the hands of the landlords, and it will not work at all, let alone even think about it.
As for the Han Dynasty, there has been no war in the interior for more than ten years, the economy is developed, the food is abundant, the prices are very stable, and the resources are also very abundant, so the money given to the soldiers can be used.
Moreover, in recent years, the Han Dynasty conquered the east and the west, won many battles, and obtained a large number of conscription resources, and they reclaimed the land and developed production, and these reclaimed lands and produced goods could be used to reward meritorious soldiers.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty was able to implement the military merit system, mainly because of the economic and material foundations. If there are no these two things, even if the military merit system is implemented, it will be an empty shelf, and it will be in name only.
"Although our army is victorious, it is also a miserable victory!" Liu Chan sighed and said, "Ling Fazheng is responsible for dealing with the issue of the bereavement of the fallen soldiers and the placement of the disabled soldiers.
Da Sima, you are responsible for the statistics of the details of the soldiers' meritorious service, and after I return to Chang'an, I will be rewarding the meritorious deeds. ”
"No!" Zhuge Liang gave up his hand.
The next day, under the protection of Zhao Yun, Lin Xiao and other generals, Liu Chan returned to Chang'an first, while Zhuge Liang stayed here for a few days to take charge of the aftermath.
The Wei army had retreated, Liu Chan's soldiers were in Chang'an, and the remaining officials in the city opened the city gates.
Liu Chan sat on a war horse, located next to the moat outside the east gate of Chang'an. He looked at the word Chang'an on the city wall, and not only burst into tears: "Rejuvenating the Han Dynasty and returning it to the old capital, I finally did it!" ”
Reviving the Han Dynasty and returning it to the old capital is the slogan that Shu Han has shouted for a lifetime.
On January 28, 227 AD, after more than half a year of fierce battles, Liu Chan finally took Guanzhong, Chang'an, and returned to the old capital.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
I don't know who suddenly shouted.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
The surrounding soldiers also shouted.
"Drive!"
Liu Chan urged the war horse, and in the cheers of the soldiers, he stepped into Chang'an City.
………………
…………
Just when Liu Chan set foot in Chang'an City, more than 40,000 Wei troops who crossed the Yellow River, under the leadership of Guo Huai and other generals, arrived at Tongguan from Fenglingdu.
In a room of the Tongguan Mansion.
Sima Yi, Guo Huai, Sun Li, Chen Tai, Hao Zhao and others will all be listed.
There are two beds in the room, and on the beds are Cao Zhang and Zhao Zhao.
During the battle, Cao Zhang was hit by several arrows, and one arrow also hit the vital place, and his life was on the verge of death. And because of the many injuries caused by the battle, coupled with old age and weakness, it is no longer possible at the moment.
"How are the two generals injured?" The military doctor was busy for most of the day, and finally left the bed and came to the side to wash the blood stains on his hands. Seeing this, Guo Huai hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the injuries of the two.
The military doctor said with a solemn face: "Master Hou is strong, but he was injured by an arrow, if he can survive tonight, he will be fine, if he can't survive, the old man can't do anything." As for the old general, he ...... He...... Ay! ”
"How is he? You mean! Sun Li said angrily.
"The old general has been dead for a long time, haven't you noticed? Let's get ready for the future! The medic shook his head and walked out of the hall with the medicine box.
"Nonsense, you stop me!" Sun Li was furious and wanted to go up to chase the military doctor.
"Hugh is messing around!" Sima Yi glared at Sun Li and ordered: "Don't disturb the rest of the Hou Ye, carry the old general's body out, prepare the old general first, and put it into the ground." ”
Everyone returned to the palace, and after Sima Yi explained that the soldiers were preparing for the future, he summoned the generals to discuss the military.
Although the soldiers and horses have withdrawn, in the future, Tongguan will become the front line, and how to deploy it is very important.
Guo Huai sighed and said sullenly: "Of the more than 90,000 soldiers and horses, our army has lost half of it, and this battle is really a wretch!" ”
Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Now that the Shu army has obtained Chang'an, Liu Chan will definitely move the capital to Chang'an, and the casualties of the Shu army in this battle are not small, and in a short period of time, there will be no war, but Tongguan will become the front line from now on, and there may be a big war at any time."
After this defeat, our army's morale has been weakened, as a general, we hold important positions, if we are discouraged, how to resist the Shu army?
I also ask the generals to cheer up, set an example, and recover first. In addition, send someone to inform Your Majesty of the results of this battle, and wait for Your Majesty's appointment! ”
Cao Rui initially appointed Sima Yi as the governor of Guanzhong, but now that Guanzhong has been lost, Sima Yi, the governor of Guanzhong, is no longer worthy of his name, but Sima Yi still has the right to take charge of the soldiers and horses who fled back from Guanzhong.
Sima Yi continued: "Although His Majesty's appointment has not yet arrived, we still must not slack off, our army is all from the Central Plains Hebei, has not participated in the war for a long time, neglected training, and fought against the Shu army, has always been at a disadvantage.
The generals should first boost their morale, and from today onwards, they must strictly train the soldiers and horses to enhance their combat effectiveness as soon as possible. ”
