Chapter 637 The House Slave Macho Man Goes West I
The emergence of the civic system does not mean that the civic city has been built, which is a long-term and imperceptible process. And Wu Haogu has been busy in Jiehe Business Market these days, and the people in Kaifeng Mansion haven't even paid much attention to it. Because of this time, the eyeballs of Kaifeng Mansion were attracted by two other major events.
One of them, of course, is the preparation of Jingdong Market!
The efforts of Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, Lu Jiawen, and Jian Xuchen finally achieved a certain degree of success in the summer of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty's establishment of the Yasukuni Kingdom. Zhao Ji, an official of the official family, approved the opening of Jingdong City, Jingdong Commercial City, Penglai Commercial City, and Mizhou Commercial Market with the internal system drafted by Hanlin Bachelor.
Of course, Zhao Ji's edict is only the beginning of the success of Jingdong City, Jingdong Commercial City, Penglai Commercial City, and Mizhou Commercial Market. There are still many troubles in the future!
And another major event is that the Great Song Dynasty court officially decided to open a new round of Hehuang Kaibian.
Zhao Ji, who has been very successful in cultural governance and has achieved unprecedented results, is in good spirits these days, except for the daily routine of asking the court to ask the right question, that is, to rectify and equip his army of house slaves.
Tong Guan, who had just returned from the Kingdom of Goryeo, was now accompanying Zhao Ji to watch the army at the Dragon Warrior Camp near the Qionglin Palace in the west of the city. He had already completed the dispatch of the army in Goryeo, witnessed how the Goryeo army crushed the weak Jurchens, and followed Lin Gan's army all the way to Yili Bone Ridge.
After fighting hundreds of miles north from Dingju in Goryeo, the army of the Goryeo people was almost invincible, and there were more than a dozen Jurchen tribes that were repelled or subdued along the way, and the total number of people added up to 10,000.
Obviously, the myth of "Jurchen is invincible" has been completely shattered!
Since the Jurchen Manchu can't defeat Goryeo, then the future Haidong Shengguo will undoubtedly be the Great Goryeo.
However, there are many Jurchen tribes, and they are far away from each other. It's impossible for Great Goryeo to conquer them one by one in a short period of time, right? Therefore, Tong Guan was not interested in continuing to stay in the Goryeo army, so Lu Qian took someone to stay there, and he went back to the court to report to Zhao Ji first, and by the way, he could find an individual advantage.
After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Tong Guan found that he came back in time! Because Zhao Ji has prepared an army that is enough to sweep away Qingtang Tubo.
The number of this army was not large, and there were only 1,000 cavalry soldiers, that is, the knights of the palace in front of the palace with Gao Yu as the commander, and the other 2,000 cavalry auxiliaries - that is, the retinue of the knights in front of the palace.
The number of infantry is more, there are 4,000 soldiers, all of them are fierce men who passed the pre-imperial test on the seventh day of the first month, and they belong to the dragon warriors under the command of Wang Yu. In addition, there are 1,000 government soldiers, all of whom have been temporarily incorporated into the warriors, which can be regarded as the auxiliary soldiers of the warriors.
Knights, warriors, cavalry auxiliaries, and government soldiers, a total of 8,000 troops, have now been completely prepared.
Tong Guan, Gao Yu, and Wang Yu all wore the green robes of military attachΓ©s, pressed their swords in their hands, and walked together behind the official Zhao Ji, and then there was a group of eunuchs with royal and eunuchs.
Zhao Ji stopped, and watched from a distance as the thousands of knights divided into ten hundred-man teams rushed left and right on the campus of Nuo University, stirring up dust on the school field. The horsemen of these knights looked very skillful, and it seemed that there was not the slightest waste, and there was really a feeling that the army was about to destroy this morning food as soon as it was launched.
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Gao Yu, your cavalry is good." Qingtang uses soldiers, and the horse army is rarely hired, it is really an opportunity for men to make contributions, and don't miss it! β
Gao Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister must live up to the trust, even if it is a horse leather shroud, he must set foot in Qingtang Tubo and capture that Prince Raushzi Xi Luosa to Kaifeng Mansion!" β
He is talking about the current de facto ruler of Tsongkha Tibet. And Zhao Huaide, the legitimate ruler of Tsongkha Tubo, had already been defeated by him and defected to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Huaide is a Chinese name given by the Song Dynasty, and his Tibetan name is Longluo, and he is the grandson of the founder of Tsongkha Tubo.
After the defeat of the Song Dynasty by the previous lord of Tsongkha and Tubo, Longshu was made the new lord by the Tubo, and with the support of the Western Xia, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Song army to abandon the two states of Hehe and Huang in the first year of the Yasukuni Kingdom in Jianzhong to obtain part of the territory of Hehuang.
But he also knew that Da Song couldn't be provoked! Therefore, while marrying the princess of Xixia and being a vassal to Xixia, he also declared himself a vassal to the Song Dynasty, and was appointed as the envoy of the Hexi Army, Zhishanzhou, and the prince of Wuwei County, and was stationed in the Western Domain.
Because Longshu accepted the surname, knighthood and official conferral of the Song Dynasty, and was considered too pro-Song by some people in Tsongkha Tubo, his younger brother Xi Cheng Luosa raised troops in March of the third year of the establishment of the Yasukuni Kingdom, and soon broke through Qingtang City, expelled Zhao Huaide, and called himself the "prince of the feudal family".
And "prince of the feudal family" is the name of the chief of Tsongkha Tubo - the lords of Tsongkha after the Tsangkara do not praise Pu, nor do they call themselves kings or kings, but call themselves "princes of the feudal family". After seizing the throne of the "prince of the feudal family", Xi Cheng Luosa changed the policy of his elder brother Long Shu (Zhao Huaide), and no longer called himself a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, but only hugged the thighs of the Western Xia family.
Zhao Ji, who had long wanted to attack Hehuang, of course could not tolerate the "rebellion" of Qingtang Tubo, so at the suggestion of Cai Jing, he decided to start a war against Qingtang Tubo.
Looking at Gao Yu's eager look, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Gao Yu, what are you talking about the horse leather shroud?" I heard that Qingtang Tubo is not good at fighting, and there are elites like Yuma Zhi and Mengshi Zhi, are you afraid that you will not be able to win a big victory? Besides, Wang Hou and Gao Yongnian are both veteran generals who have been in battle for a long time, you just need to listen to their assignments. β
"Tong Guan." Zhao Ji named Tong Guan again.
"The slave is here." Tong Guan hurriedly stepped forward.
"You should also go to the northwest," Zhao Ji said, "go to the prison army Taoxi." β
Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed: "The slave and maid will do their best to live up to Your Majesty's trust!" β
As soon as his words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then he saw Wu Haogu's brother Wu Haowen riding a horse. Wu Haowen now also has a new position, no longer serving as a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace, but was appointed by Zhao Ji as the head of the Taoxi Pacification Division.
The so-called "Taoxi" refers to the land of the river to the west of Taoshui. Wang Hou is now appointed as the pacification envoy of Taoxi and the governor of Hezhou, and is in charge of the affairs of the Gouxi Helan Society, and is Wu Haowen's top boss.
Wu Haowen got down from the dwarf mare he was riding and walked up to Zhao Ji, first saluted, and then presented a thick volume of documents with both hands.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 400 house deeds, and the minister has already counted them."
Tong Guan was stunned when he heard Wu Haowen's words, four hundred house deeds? Who is this for?
Zhao Ji didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, but asked, "Can the house be completed on schedule?" β
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty," Wu Haowen said, "Wanjia Real Estate's ability to build a house is still good, and it will definitely be completed on time." β
These 400 deeds correspond to 400 sets of "tube buildings", but the house has not yet been built, so these deeds are off-plan deeds.
However, Zhao Ji will not fool people with empty deeds. He took advantage of the opportunity of Su Dongpo to preside over the reform of Guozijian, and found a piece of land next to the Qionglin Palace outside the city to build a school palace called Biyong as a replacement for Guozijian Xue, Taixue and Wuxue, and at the same time gradually recovered the land of Guozijian Zhuxue located in the southern city of Kaifeng Prefecture. The first to recover was Wuxue's land, all of which were contracted to Wanjia real estate under the Republic Bank in exchange for the deed of 600 sets of tube buildings. After these properties are completed, they will be used to reward the macho man in front of the palace! Among them, 200 sets are the prizes for the imperial pre-imperial competition next year (the fourth year of the founding of Yasukuni), and the remaining 400 sets, Zhao Ji intends to use them to reward the meritorious soldiers of the Western Expedition.
"Tong Guan," Zhao Ji nodded, and said to Tong Guan, "These deeds will be handed over to you...... These are used to reward the meritorious heroes of the Dragon Warrior and the Horse Commander. β
Bonus Title Deed?
Tong Guan was stunned, this was not the first time he had served in front of the army. I've never seen anyone go out with a roll of deed...... It won't be a problem, right? The Song army has always been unable to see cash and not draw a bow in war, and now it is a deed? How to give it? It's impossible to give it before the war, right? So will the reward be returned?
"Your Majesty," Tong Guan thought about it, but still felt that it was not appropriate, "The forbidden army fights, and it has always been important to pay attention to heavy rewards, and only then can there be brave men...... Now that the house is given, will the gold, silver, silk and silk be returned? β
"No." Zhao Ji waved his hand, "Everything is as usual for the other forbidden armies, but the soldiers of the Dragon Warrior and the Imperial Horse Commander do not need to be rewarded, they can only be motivated by the deed." However, the accompanying auxiliaries still prepared rewards as usual. β
Can it really be? On the battlefield, those warriors and knights won't refuse to fight, right?
"Tong Daguan, you can rest assured." Gao Yu smiled and said, "There is no better reward than the deed...... You haven't seen the martial arts in front of the first lunar month! That's really everyone's hard work, if you go to the battlefield and still have such high spirits, the Western Thieves, the Western Domain and other rebels, all of them are not a problem! β
In fact, the Dragon Warrior and the knight in front of the palace originally got a lot, and the Dragon Warrior's annual military salary plus subsidies and benefits combined exceeded 200 yuan! Three times higher than the average Forbidden Army! And the knights each took 1,500 acres of professional land, and there were additional subsidies and rewards for their service, and if they overdue, they would also pay three points of cavalry pay to a knight (a knight with two cavalry auxiliaries). The treatment is really not low!
In addition, warriors and knights who died in battle will also have generous pensions. After the warrior dies in battle, the family can get a set of "tube buildings". Knights who die in battle can get a "death pay two" pension. That is, if a knight family dies a knight in battle, you can get an additional knight quota - the position and position of the knight who died in battle will be inherited by the designated heir, and you can also get a new quota for the person in the family who is skilled in horsemanship and martial arts. This ensures that the size of the Thousand Knights will not shrink even if the knight heir is young and has no service.
Of course, the newly replenished knight's job field will have to be purchased by the Martial Arts Ancient Jiehe City Bo Division.
