Chapter 287 Disarmament
Half a month later, the 20,000 troops transferred back from the northwest arrived in the capital, and the leading generals were Chong Jianzhong (i.e., Chongshi Dao), Liu Wu, and Yao Xiong. Yang Yi represented the imperial court to welcome the army twenty miles out of the city.
These three are all Mesozoic generals of the Northwest Army, all between the ages of 30 and 40, and they already have the ability to stand alone.
The Northwest War lasted for a long time, and a large number of good generals were sharpened, such as Zhe Keshi, Chong Pu, Guo Cheng, Miao Zhu, Zhang Cheng, Liu An, Yao Gu, etc., these people were all killed with a knife and a shot on the battlefield, and everyone's resume was bloodstained, and absolutely none of them were embroidered pillows.
It can be said that in addition to the founding period of the People's Republic of China, this is the most shining era of the Great Song Dynasty. If we can do a good job in reforming the military system, so that they will no longer be subjected to the 'scourge' of using civil and military forces, each of these people may grow into a famous general on the powerful side.
As soon as they met, Liu Laohu didn't care about others, he rushed up first, gave a military salute, and then shouted with a smile: "My lord! If life is only as it first seen, the tiger is still with the adult, rushing across the Hengshan to rob the mother-in-law, and ravaging the Empress Dowager Liang eighteen times......"
Since Su Mingpei won the new Oiran with a song "Magnolia Flower Order", the words "if life is only as first seen" have spread all over the world, and when people talk about Yang Yi, they will ask if life is only as Yang Renzhi as first seen?
Su Mingpei is also worth a hundred times more than this song "Magnolia Flower Order" and is famous all over the world. This is a good poem, which was tampered with like this by Liu Laohu today, which made Yang Yizhi roll his eyes.
"What a mess,!" Yang Yi's big foot flew out and kicked on Liu Laohu's fragrant buttocks, this guy covered his fragrant buttocks and jumped like a toad.
Chong Jianzhong, Yao Xiong and others couldn't help laughing, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic; Chong Jianzhong and Yang Yi fought side by side several times, the Mengyun Valley War, the Huanzhou War, and the Xihanjing Raid Battle, although the time spent between the two was not much, but the friendship formed in the life and death battle was very sincere, and it was difficult to talk about it.
Yao Xiong is the first time to meet, he is burly, his eyes are like torches, a pair of big knife eyebrows give people a murderous feeling, Xihe Road is far away from Huanzhou, Yang Yi and he have never had the opportunity to meet, but they have also cooperated with each other several times.
It can be said that it was the battles initiated by Yang Yi that made Yao Xiong emerge in the Northwest Army so quickly and his prestige resounded throughout the Northwest; Therefore, Yao Xiong still has a good impression of Yang Yi. Coupled with Yang Yi's intention to get close, the two quickly became acquainted.
In the end, Mu Lanhua suddenly jumped out of the queue, gave Yang Yi a military salute in a heroic manner, and then asked a little wistfully: "My lord, this time we are transferred back to Beijing, are you not leaving?" ”
"Oh, it's us who shot down Rindo's loyal Mulan with one arrow! Do you still want to go? Yang Yi joked with a smile.
"Naturally, I want to listen to adults...... Uh, listen to the imperial court. ”
"Since you are willing to obey the orders of the imperial court, then it is good, the imperial court will arrange it when you can't go, by the way, Hanqing They have no news yet."
Yang Yi suddenly added a sentence in the end, and Mu Lan's face turned red after a while, causing everyone to laugh again.
The military camp outside the city had already been prepared, and Yang Yi accompanied them to drink a lot before returning to the city.
The next day, the imperial court officially issued the edict of disarmament.
In a Japanese military camp in the north of the city, Yang Yi entered with a team of officials composed of the Privy Council, the Household Department, and the Imperial Envoy. The main reason why the personnel responsible for disarmament is composed of three departments is to prevent fraud.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers were not allowed to wear armor or hold weapons, and stood quietly on the school field empty-handed, talking about each other one by one; It wasn't until Yang Yi negotiated with the battalion lieutenant general that he led people to the point general platform, and the following "Buzz!" The sound was calmer.
Yang Yi pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, stood in front of the stage, looked at the thousands of soldiers in the audience with awe-inspiring eyes, and roared: "I believe you also know the disarmament edict of the imperial court, and now I repeat it again, all of you who are over the age of thirty-seven, or who are injured and can no longer adapt to combat, will be dismissed; Non-commissioned officers who have been dismissed can receive a settling-in allowance of 70 yuan on the spot, as well as a discharge certificate. Remember, this discharge certificate is more important than the seventy times, and you must keep it safe; With this discharge card, you will be properly resettled by the local government. For each veteran, the local government will allocate no less than 100 acres of land to you, and the specific amount will be determined according to the number of your family members, and for each additional person with more than five family members, the court will allocate an additional 20 acres of land, and will be exempted from paying taxes for five years.
The Ministry of War will set up a 'Department for the Resettlement of Veterans' in the prefectures and counties where the resettlement sites are concentrated, and this yamen will directly belong to the Ministry of War and will not be under the jurisdiction of the local government, and will mainly serve you.
If the local government deliberately makes things difficult, distributes less land, sets up false names, and steals by tricks, you can take your discharge certificate to the nearby 'Veterans Resettlement Division' to complain; once it is verified, the imperial court will immediately punish the local officials to protect your rights and interests. ”
After Yang Yi finished yelling, the school field "Hum! There was a burst of discussion.
The conditions for the resettlement of the retrenched personnel in the imperial court this time can be described as unprecedentedly favorable, and some people are moved by the desire to become soldiers in old age, and of course there are also people who are unwilling or are anxious about the new environment.
Yang Yi ignored what they said, whether they wanted to or not, the imperial court decreed that all those who should be cut would be cut.
As soon as he gave an order, the accompanying officials carried out boxes of silver and copper coins, and swung them on the platform, the silver light was shining, and the copper "smell" was permeated.
The audience suddenly fell silent again, staring intently at the cash box on the stage.
Yang Yi shouted again: "Everyone, listen, please stand on the left for the soldiers whose names are called." ”
Yang Yi roared and waved his hand, and the Privy Council clerk who had already prepared walked down with the soldier's roster and began to call names loudly.
After the soldiers over the age of 37 were counted, the officials were again screened by the officials, and those who were disabled or thin were screened out.
Then let them line up one by one to go to the stage to receive the silver taels and the discharge certificate.
Starting from the capital, this situation will be quickly and comprehensively spread, and the dismissed soldiers and their families, Hedong, Hebei, Shaanxi, and other places close to the border will be resettled on the spot as much as possible, and the imperial court in the interior will be uniformly resettled in the Jinghu area.
The Jinghu area was the land of fish and rice in China in later generations, with Jinghu Lake ripe and the world full of metaphors, but now it is still very sparsely populated, and a large amount of land suitable for cultivation has not been developed; If the Jinghu area can be vigorously developed through this disarmament and make it a rich land of fish and rice, it will be of extraordinary significance to the entire Great Song Dynasty.
There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. Under the vigorous and resolute policy of the imperial court, the disarmament work in the Gyeonggi region was basically completed in only 10 days.
Of the nearly 200,000 forbidden troops in Gyeonggi, a total of 80,000 were laid off, and the imperial court arranged for vehicles and ships to send them to the Jinghu area along with their families in batches.
It just so happened that the imperial court got 50,000 cattle from the Liao State, and then bought and sold some from the Liao State, and all of them were transferred to the Jinghu area.
In fact, in the past, the imperial court implemented a change of military law, and they also migrated once every few years, and both the imperial court and them were still relatively experienced in this. ]
It is not far from Gyeonggi to Huguang, the fast one can be reached in a few days, and the slow one can be reached in a maximum of 20 days.
During this period, there were some small riots, but not one dared to pull the flag and rebel.
The imperial court has long been prepared with both hands, giving favorable resettlement conditions, and also preparing an army of contingencies, who dares to pull the flag and rebel, there is only one word, kill!
There are no two factions in the DPRK and China that tear each other down and fight each other, and the benefits are fully reflected in this disarmament, and various departments are operating efficiently. The Privy Council is responsible for specific disarmament matters.
The household department allocated money and grain, and the Ministry of Industry prepared vehicles and ships.
The Ministry of War and the local government are responsible for the resettlement.
Officials were selected and sent to Jinghu to strengthen governance.
The Imperial Observatory is responsible for supervising lawlessness.
Sinong Temple is responsible for leveling grain prices along the way and in Jinghu.
The Ministry of Rites is responsible for dispatching the school administration to build additional schools in the local area as soon as possible.
The Criminal Department has assigned special personnel to be responsible for investigating cases that occur in the process of relocation and resettlement and to reassure the people.
Shangshu Province Li Zhang peeled his eyes and looked at him, who dares to pull the skin, you wait.
The 20,000-strong army brought back from the northwest was ready to fight with murderous vigour, and they did not need to go out in small riots, but in the event of a major rebellion, they were ready to kill.
After ten days, the wind and waves gradually subsided, and the imperial court sent Chong Jianzhong to Jinghu with 5,000 men and horses to prevent possible changes there.
In this disarmament, except for the reluctance of some military generals, the Chinese officials of the DPRK basically agreed with the disarmament; Li Keshi, the commander of the palace commander (commonly known as the palace marshal), was transferred to the idle military department, which was tantamount to killing the monkey to show the chicken, indicating the determination of the imperial court to disarm; The original military system of the Great Song Dynasty also determined that the generals in the army could not be as arbitrary and arbitrary as the Tang Dynasty, let alone have the strength to compete with the imperial court; Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, no high-ranking general has led an army to rebel, and it is here. Therefore, even if some generals in the army are unwilling, they can only accept the reality and honestly obey the arrangement.
In addition to being responsible for part of the disarmament work in the city, Yang Yi was mainly responsible for commanding the 20,000 troops transferred back from the northwest, ready to quell the rebellion at any time; His great exploits are there, the Liao army, the Xia army, invincible, who wants to try whether Yang Daguan's blade is good enough, just let the horse come.
Yang Daguan punched a seven-year-old child, kicked a septuagenarian, and stood on the mass grave for ten days and shouted: "Whoever is not convinced, stand up for me!" ”
As a result, the graves were lonely, and there was really no one gasping.
Liu Laohu's girl is also afraid that the world will not be chaotic, there is no rebellion, there is no majesty, he scolds every day, from the eighth day, I feel that I really have no hope of getting addicted, just like a frosted eggplant, wilted!
