Chapter 729: Shazhou is cold and flamboyant (3)
Seeing that Zhang Yang was really ruthless, Zeng Weihao remembered that when he visited Liu Jian on the way to transfer, Liu Jian had explained to him a plan.
The first thing to ensure in that plan is that he and Zeng Weihao can live. As long as he lives, he will be able to carry out that plan. Only if he is alive can Liu Xing's big plan be carried out smoothly.
So seeing that Zhang Yang had made a killing move, Zeng Weihao no longer spoke, but just glared at Zhang Yang with angry eyes.
Zhang Yang saw that his reprimand worked, and he didn't care about Zeng Weihao's eyes when he looked at him.
Turning his head to look at the generals at all levels in the courtyard again, he spoke again: "The prince and the general, Ning Youhu. These are the words that Liu Xing once shouted. Now he is in the prime minister's position and has power in the opposition. But what about me, you? We're just pawns at his mercy. ”
"I publicize today's rebellion, I really have no intention of being the enemy of his Liu Xing's Great Song Dynasty, I just want to take the brothers who have ambitions, but have been pressed to be unable to play, to create a new world, to show our ambitions. You are all aspiring young people, what are you still hesitating about? If you are willing to go with me, the princes will not dare to talk about it, and the glory and wealth will be shared. ”
Another series of extremely inflammatory words arrived, and Zhang Yang paused slightly.
Then an evil smile appeared on his face, and his voice became even more high-pitched: "And according to the merchants from the Western Regions, there are more women and fewer men in the Western Regions today. As long as everyone follows me to the land of the Western Regions, I will never make any rule that soldiers are not allowed to marry without permission. Robbing money, food, and country, women are naturally the ones who rob them. ”
Never make any provision that soldiers are not allowed to marry without authorization, why did Zhang Yang suddenly come up with such a sentence?
The answer is just a month ago. Liu Xing ordered the promulgation of several new military regulations of the Great Song Dynasty. One of them. It is forbidden to prohibit adult men under the age of 18 who have not graduated from the Martial Arts Academy. Marriage is forbidden before the military exploits.
Why did Liu Xing suddenly add such a provision to the new military regulations? The reason is that in today's Great Song Dynasty and Northern Dynasties, everyone has seen the changes in the treatment and status of soldiers and the past.
The folk saying that a good man is not a soldier and a good iron does not nail has become an old saying in the past in today's Great Song and Northern Dynasties. Now in the territory of the Northern Dynasties, everyone is scrambling and rushing to let their boys enter the army and test the military preparation.
The reason for this earth-shaking change is that the treatment of the forbidden army and the border army of the Northern Dynasty today is almost ten times that of the reign of the Second Emperor Huiqin.
The second is that as long as you go to the battlefield, as long as you make meritorious contributions, you will have no worries for a lifetime and will be rewarded.
In the past, what was needed was the emperor's grace to be rewarded, and when receiving rewards, they were often exploited layer by layer, and there were very few in the hands of meritorious soldiers.
So much so that many middle- and low-ranking soldiers in the army now send them back to their families every month because of their military exploits, or at the request of the soldiers by the local patrol envoy Si Yamen. The money and food sent directly to each family was enough to make the families of those soldiers an enviable wealth.
The third is that the former soldiers died in battle, at most, the imperial court gave some compensation at one time, and then their parents, wives and children spent all of them, and after using up those compensations, they immediately had no support, and their lives would quickly become embarrassed.
And now? When he died in the war, there was a pension field, and there were military merits during his lifetime. In addition to these, those who are disabled due to injuries are paid directly by the Ministry of War and subsidized by Tzu Chi organizations. Even the immediate family members of those who died in the war can receive many protections, so that their families no longer have to be helpless because they are orphaned......
Under these major environmental factors, seeing that there are many benefits to sending their sons into the army, the people naturally rush to send their sons to join the army.
At the same time, the small families with daughters in the families of ordinary people have also begun to gradually change, and they are willing to give their daughters priority to soldiers who are serving in the army or retired and have military achievements.
Things can never be good, small families are vying to marry women to soldiers, but some time ago, one after another caused some things that made Liu Xing both resentful and helpless.
Some women from small families were married to soldiers not long after. After their men had just made some modest achievements, they feared that they would become widows in the future.
And so. Many little ladies kept crying and begging. Zhang Xian's great victory had just ended, and immediately two or three thousand soldiers who had just made meritorious service applied to be discharged from the army and return to their hometowns.
As a result, Wu Jue's army entered Huainan West Road, and there were groups of newlywed soldiers clamoring to be turned into patrol soldiers. As a result, many of the forbidden troops of the front division of the palace also joined this farce of making meritorious contributions and immediately retreating......
wants good treatment and a rich life but refuses to pay, Liu Xingqi's eyes are blue. In a fit of anger, Liu Xing made a series of hard rules.
The man joined the army at the age of 16 and retired from the army before five years. Those who have not made an inch of merit at the age of 18 are not allowed to retire, let alone marry. The soldiers who are not in the military preparation academy and the military preparation academy are directly thrown into the ranks with few opportunities for meritorious service.
In short, Liu Xing's idea is one: no longer give those who no longer want to join the army a chance to make meritorious contributions, nor give those soldiers who can easily be blown away by the wind next to their pillows to retire any chance to make meritorious contributions.
Those who enlisted in the army at the age of 16 and dared to leave the army before the age of 21 were directly thrown into the re-education camp and punished as deserters. If they gather a crowd to collectively make a move to retire, they will be directly handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Department of Military Justice, and they will be dealt with strictly and severely, and will not be tolerated......
And for officers, there are not many people who make a fuss about retirement. But for a long time, starting from the Red Turban Army, Liu Xing's team has an iron law: under the unification of the standard, the military is forbidden to follow the army.
Liu Xing's series of thunderous measures really stopped the soldiers formed by the wind on the pillow from receding the tide. In addition, the original standard of family members accompanying the camp is a provision to strengthen the combat power of the Great Song Dynasty's royal division.
But he never thought that these rules gave Zhang Yang, a gangster, such a great opportunity to win people's hearts now, and became the best talk for him to incite people's hearts and pull people to rebel with him at this moment.
So the officers standing in the courtyard will be attracted by his words? What surprised Zeng Weihao was that many people were still glaring at Zhang Yang's general Zuozhong with angry eyes, and as soon as they heard his words, some people immediately began to stand up and express their willingness to follow Zhang Yang to the Western Regions.
After a commotion, Zeng Weihao counted more than 200 generals, and a quarter of Zuozhong was transferred to Zhang Yang's command.
Seeing this result, Zeng Weihao's heart was so depressed, and he secretly thought: What Taifu said at the beginning that men think about problems with their lower bodies seems to be true! It's just a woman who robbed whom, and in an instant, more than 50 people betrayed their original beliefs, betrayed their families, and embarked on a road of no return...... (To be continued.) )
