"The number of Shaanxi forbidden army and archers has not been counted, eliminate the old and weak who cannot serve, and then subtract the knights who are recruited, about 150,000 people, and it is planned to grant the official fields of Shaanxi and Shuofang according to households, and one household will be granted 200 acres to 1,000 acres of dry land and middle fields, and make them live in the township, implement the township covenant, and take the military attache as the squire......" Su Zhe sat in the middle hall of the political hall, and took the chapter sent by the Shaanxi transfer envoy Yamen from Jingzhao Mansion in his hand first, and read it in a low voice.

What Su Chi reported in the recital was a final case that Wu Haogu and the general leaders of the Western Army repeatedly discussed for more than ten days before coming up with a final case - in fact, it was the "Army Consolidation Agreement" reached between the Military Machinery Division and the Western Army.

The ancestors of the old Zhao family had a glass of wine to release the right to the army, and when Zhao Ji's generation came to an agreement to cut redundant soldiers, it was still quite a contract spirit.

According to the agreement reached, the Western Army could be placed in 150,000 households, including archers (who had already been granted fields), excluding knights! Among them, it is divided into three grades: squires, villagers, and villagers.

The squire is filled by the military attaché's family in the Western Army, and is the leading class of the township of the government soldiers, and a household can be granted 1,000 acres of official land, and can also receive official salaries, job money, job fields, etc., and can also give priority to the official position of the military government.

The villagers were filled by the miscellaneous military attachés and cavalry (no knights were selected) in the Western Army, and they were the backbone of the township of the soldiers, and a family could be granted 500-600 acres of land, and if they held military positions, they could also receive military salaries as usual.

The villagers are filled by the families of ordinary soldiers and archers in the Western Army, and they are the main body of the township of the soldiers, and a household can be granted 200-250 acres of land.

According to the "agreement", all the land granted to the government soldiers, whether it was granted to the squire, the villagers or the villagers, was in the nature of official land subordinate to the military government. It is not a private person, it cannot be sold, and it cannot be divided into inheritances - the land granted must be recorded in the name of the head of the household, who in principle is a member of the service.

With the exception of the Shade of Distress and the Shade of Wounds, all grantors must have someone to serve and meet a certain standard in order to keep the grant—the criterion refers to whether the official position of the person serving matches the amount of land? If the squire's family could not produce a military attaché, the status would be reduced, and a part of the land would have to be returned.

There are four forms of service, one is to serve as an official, that is, to serve as an official, whether you are a military attaché or not, whether you have a military position or not, you can keep the granting of land. If you were not a military attaché and later became a military attaché, you can also be granted land according to the standard. In addition, all the treatment of officials, they can enjoy as usual.

The second type is the "Long March", that is, the miscellaneous military officers and cavalrymen who have served for a long time - they can keep the land and receive salaries.

The third situation is "active duty of government soldiers", that is, they are locked up in the barracks all day to serve for a period of five years! There is no military pay, but there is no other expense, and you can receive a reward.

The fourth situation is the "reserve military service", after serving five years of active service, the soldiers who are granted the field government have to serve 20 years of reserve service. During this period, during the slack season every year, they must spare at least one month to serve in the military government and train and prepare for war. In case of war, they will also be conscripted into the army for active duty - those who are transferred from reserve to active duty must be paid in full.

As long as one of the four conditions is met, the family can continue to keep the land. Moreover, he did not have to pay any taxes, and he and his wife were exempt from all forced labor for life.

If no one in the family meets the above four conditions, then it depends on whether there is "difficult shade" or "wounded shade", and if so, before the heir reaches adulthood, the family can not only keep all the original benefits, but also receive rice and grain from the military government on a monthly basis.

If there is no "difficult shade" or "hurt shade", then you must not keep the land!

In addition to granting land and exempting them from forced labor, the soldiers also had a privilege of granting them a privilege, that is, their children could receive free education in the township.

The so-called "Xiangxue" is actually Mengxue plus a simplified version of the Six Arts Academy, which teaches simple Confucianism, literature, arithmetic, and the art of battle formation (that is, the queue and martial arts of going to the battlefield). When you graduate from Township School, you can also enter the Kaifeng Infantry Academy and the Jiehe Knight Academy! As long as you enter these two military schools, you will immediately be considered to be in military service, and you will be able to become an official after successfully graduating!

Moreover, the Kaifeng Infantry Academy and the Jiehe Knight Academy will also reserve a certain percentage of admission places for Tianfu soldiers - this is actually a discount for the Western Army Generals, and it is unlikely to grab the admission quota by relying on township education alone, unless the talent is amazing.

In addition, in addition to about 150,000 Tianfu soldiers, the engine room of the Shaanxi Sixth Route General Army will also select 5,000 knights' homes from the Western Army. The treatment of knights is far higher than that of the soldiers who grant fields, and there are 2000-2500 acres of land alone! Moreover, the whole family can be exempted from conscription (enjoy the treatment of officials), the children can receive a better education, and they also have the opportunity to serve in the army, protect the Son of Heaven, and the opportunity for promotion is certainly not comparable to the ordinary Tianfu soldiers.

"This Wu Chongdao will still be able to do things......" Su Zhe finished reading the chapter and said with a smile, "The Western Army is now solved!" The 200,000 people will soon be organized into more than 30,000 standing new troops, 120,000 reserve troops and 5,000 knights. That's a big way to reduce your expenses! ”

The plan negotiated between Wu Haogu and the generals of the Western Army seems to give many privileges and preferential treatment to the officers and men of the Western Army, but in fact they still suffer losses.

The original Western Army, after deducting the archers, had at least 100,000 people, all of whom were forbidden troops! Counting only a bunch of big-headed soldiers (not counting officials), a year's military salary, military rations, military uniforms, and rewards are added together, and it is impossible to do it without more than 10 million.

Now it is integrated into 30,000 active standing troops and 5,000 knights, and most of them are still unpaid, and the annual expenditure of 2 million in personnel (not counting officials) is sky-high. I saved more than 8 million at once!

Zhang Shangying frowned, "200,000 to 35,000, isn't it a little ruthless?" In case something happens, is this enough soldier? ”

"Enough!" The answer to the question was Zhang Shuye, a military aircraft from Tongzhidu, who was not qualified to participate in the meeting between the two governments.

But none of the bigwigs of the two provinces have ever led troops, and they don't know about the situation of the Western Army. Therefore, when asking the right question in today's Chongzheng Palace, Su Zhe asked for the order to transfer Zhang Shuye to participate in the meeting of the two governments.

"These 35,000 are the essence of the Western Army, all of them are soldiers, and 5,000 of them are armored cavalry!" Uncle Zhang said at night, "If you really want to fight, you have to be equipped with enough auxiliaries, and it is an army of 70,000." ”

Is 70,000 a lot?

The civilian officials sitting here still didn't count in their hearts - they had never been to the battlefield or led troops, so they couldn't really understand the truth of "being good at military affairs, not doing too much". Moreover, they did not know that there were generally two or three percent vacancies in the army, and because the soldiers were mainly unpaid government soldiers, strict management could eliminate the vacancies.

In this way, 35,000 soldiers are real!

"In addition," Zhang Shuye said again, "the northwest is now not only the Western Army, but also the Shuofang Army and the Lingzhou Army.

The Military Machinery Division has calculated, and the Western Army can probably sort out 6 generals, and one general along the Shaanxi Sixth Road can ensure that it is safe. The Shuofang Army and the Lingzhou Army can also refer to the Western Army for reorganization, and the same is set up to grant the Tianfu Army. This will not only allow the two armies to obtain reliable troops, but also allow them to settle on the real side. ”

Although Wu Haogu is gone, the Military Machinery Division is still operating normally. At the same time that major progress was being made in the reorganization of the Western Army, the opportunity for the reorganization of the Shuofang Army, the Lingzhou Army, and even the Eastern Army began to be formulated.

Uncle Zhang said: "Du Ji Yisi thinks that the Shuofang Army has four generals to grant Tianfu soldiers, and one general of the Lingzhou Army has awarded Tianfu soldiers, which is enough to use." ”

Su Zhe nodded and said: "That is, eleven will be 55,000 people, and there will be 5,000 knights, a total of 60,000 people, which should be enough." ”

"There will be more knights, and a group of Shuofang troops and Lingzhou troops will also be placed, maybe there will be 7,000 knights." Uncle Zhang said at night, "Hebei has also resettled more than 3,000, and it may reach 5,000 in the future." In this way, there are 12,000 armored cavalry in the whole country, which is enough to fight against the Great Liao. ”

"Oh." Su Zhe just nodded. He never thought about what an awesome number 12,000 armored horses was! And these 12,000 outfits will also play wall charging and wheel attack......

"How will the 5 generals of the Shuofang Army and the Lingzhou Army be formed? Are there so many immigrants? Zhang Shangying thought of a more practical question.

"There's already a way." Uncle Zhang said, "You can select the elite soldiers who served in Shuofang and Lingzhou to grant fields and identities. Pick a few hundred or thousands a year, and after a few years, you will have all the people. ”

"What about the Eastern Army?" Jiang Zhiqi, a member of the Privy Council, asked, "There are still more than 100,000 forbidden troops in Hebei and Hedong, all of which cannot fight, do you want to rectify them according to this method?" ”

"Of course." Uncle Zhang said with a smile, "Xia Guan thinks that when Wu Chongdao finishes rectifying the Western Army, he can still let him rectify the Hebei Army...... As for the Hedong Army, Xia Guan can let Zhong Qiaoweng go. ”

Of course, Zhang Shuye didn't want Wu Haogu to return to Kaifeng Mansion, in fact, this was also the unanimous opinion of the two mansions. They can't get rid of Wu Haogu and his Shixue School now, but there is still a way to keep him out.

Su Zhe stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We can let Wu Chongdao go to be an ambassador of Hebei pacification, this name is enough, a serious handsome, a heavy minister...... The Hebei Army is more difficult to get than the Western Army, which is enough for him to work for a few years. ”

After all, the Western Army is the elite of the long-fought war, while the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army are simply a group of ordinary people, and a considerable part of them are "urbanized", which is different from the Western Army generals squinting in the ravines and ravines.

It is feasible to grant land to the Western Army, and the same method will definitely mess up the pot in the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army.

However, Wu Haogu must have a way, but he has to be busy for many years...... And when Wu Haogu was dragged by the Hebei Army, Su Zhe could let go of his hands and feet to carry out his big plan in Kaifeng Mansion.

That's right, Su Zhe is also very thoughtful! His idea was to save traditional Confucianism and save the situation of sharing the world with scholars and doctors through the imperial examination and rural reform.
