Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 760 The Direct Relationship Between Land and Military Merit (Part [-])
Chapter [-] The direct relationship between land and military merit

Li Shiji was so frightened that his heart was about to fly out. He would rather wish for a rain of guns and arrows than face Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng.He was very afraid that Li Jiancheng would shout, "Come on, take Wei Zheng down for me, drag him down, chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

It's just a pity that what Li Shiji was worried about didn't happen in the end.

Instead, Li Jiancheng invited Wei Zheng to His Highness Yin'an in the Eastern Palace, respectfully invited Wei Zheng to the next first seat, and asked Wei Zheng to sit down. The maid in the Eastern Palace brought tea, and then Li Jiancheng said indifferently: "I would like to hear about it!"

Wei Zhengdao: "What I said is right, His Royal Highness is wrong, you are wrong, you are worried, you are afraid, so you try your best to cover it up, but you have forgotten that our Great Tang is different from Sima Jin and Cao Wei, The country established by our Great Tang was burnt out of flames and cast out of iron and blood. There was no privacy in the process of establishing this country! The whole process of establishing this country was upright. Datang The whole process of gaining power was aboveboard, if the Sui Dynasty lost its deer, the whole world chased after it, and the Tang Dynasty won it, why not?"

Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment.

Li Tang is different from Cao Wei and Sima Jin, because the way of gaining power is different. The Li Tang regime started from Taiyuan, one city and one city, all the way down.In terms of the rightness of the position, only the Qin and Han Dynasties can be compared.It is precisely because the beginning of Li Tang's kingdom was war, so in the battle for the crown prince, Li Shimin made it clear that chariots and horses wanted to fight for the crown prince, but he got the support of some people.

Because everyone understands that to fight is to have an opportunity, and to not fight is to have no chance.In terms of power and strength, whether it is the Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty or the Twelve Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Tang Guogong's lineage does not actually have any advantage. Li Yuan started his army in a corner of Taiyuan and set a precedent for other families.When other ambitious and powerful families worried that the emaciated camels were bigger than horses in the Sui Dynasty, Li Tang had already begun to show off his chariots and horses, breaking through and killing the generals all the way.

The Zheng family in Xingyang supported Wang Shichong half-heartedly, and the Wang family in Taiyuan supported Liu Wuzhou, because they were afraid of bearing the heavy consequences in case of failure.As the saying goes, if you win the king in Guanzhong first, Li Tang invades Guanzhong, and your reputation in the world will be determined.

In this case, either go with the situation or go against it.However, the Yuan family, Zhao family, Wei family, Qinghe Cui family, and Zhaojun Li family all became cowards.

Wei Zheng continued: "Your Highness, the darker things are, the more they are afraid of the sun. The reason why rumors can spread widely is actually because of cover-ups. Since cover-ups will be counterproductive, then simply pierce the covers and bring them into the sun." Go down and expose yourself to the sun! Your Royal Highness, can't you let the world see it? You are the Prince of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the good fortune of the people and the blessing of the community to have His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, so these can only move in the dark Whether it can shake the position of His Highness the Crown Prince, can it shake the spirit of founding our country in Great Tang!"

Li Jiancheng was silent.

In fact, Li Shimin was aggressive step by step, with both Li Yuan's connivance and his appeasement.Because Li Jiancheng showed great tolerance, Li Shimin dared to use conspiracy methods again and again.

This time, he only used the decree of the King of Qin to mobilize Li Shiji alone. If Li Jiancheng did not fight back, but tolerated and indulged, then Li Shimin's next step would definitely be to remove Xue Wanche, Feng Li, Li Yuan, Pei Ju, and even Chen Ying from their original positions step by step. If Li Jiancheng can't protect the subordinates of the Eastern Palace Gate if he raises the level, or ascends and descends secretly, or wins over by division, once Li Jiancheng can't protect the subordinates of the East Palace, he will really be the crown prince.

Li Jiancheng thought about it and finally made a decision: "Li Shiji!"

"I'm here!" Li Shiji really sweated for Wei Zheng, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to have no problems at all, and instead became a minister of Li Jiancheng's most important lineage.

Li Jiancheng said: "My palace ordered the general of Andong to go out of the town to guard the 42 states of Andong with the order of the prince to restrain the Huaiyuan army, Baoding army and the three armies of Andong!"

Li Shiji was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although the Andong Governor's Mansion is not richer than the Anxi Governor's Mansion, the Andong Governor's Mansion suppresses Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Khitan, Xi and other tribes in the east, and is also a real frontier official.

Of course, just like Chen Ying's appointment as the Protector of the Western Regions, the Protectorate of the Great Governor of Andong is actually just a sham. Most of the territory is in name and exists on the map.You need to accept and develop yourself.Now Li Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, actually only has fourteen states, but since Li Jiancheng gave him the organizational system of 42 states, he was allowed to open up territory eastward like Chen Ying.

If Li Jiancheng doesn't make a move, it's fine. Once he makes a move, he will be judged against Li Shimin.Li Shimin just wanted to reduce the official position of Li Shiji, the general of the East Palace, in Lingzhou, and reduce the army controlled by the East Palace. It was good for Li Jiancheng.

In the Tang Dynasty, the First Army was a permanent institution, with a total of 1 troops.

However, the military system of the Tang Dynasty was also flexible. Just as Chen Ying insisted, a regiment of two hundred to undertake tactical tasks was too few, while a regiment of eight hundred or 1000 was too many.Therefore, he changed all Zhechong mansions into five regiments, so that each Zhechong mansion has five regiments and each regiment has 300 people.

What Li Shiji got was an empty shell of the Anton Governor's Mansion, which was an official position of the third rank.Li Shimin wanted to demote Li Shiji's official position, and Li Jiancheng promoted him.

Of course, this is not to challenge Li Yuan's authority, but to use practical actions to tell Li Yuan that it is impossible for Datang to order multiple sects like this.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the four powers were separated. Li Yuan's decree, Prince Li Jiancheng's decree, Qi Wang Li Yuanji, Qin Wang Li Shimin's decree, and Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning's decree also have the legal effect of the decree.

At the same time that Li Jiancheng issued the Prince's order to Li Shiji, he issued the orders for weapons, equipment, and troop deployment from the East Palace directly from the East Palace.

Li Shiji took the prince's order, went directly to the garrison at Lantian camp, and transferred more than [-] troops from the three armies.

The soldiers and horses under Li Xiaogong's command decreased by one-third in an instant.

One-third is not important, the important thing is that Li Shiji is also an expert in the use of soldiers, his vision of picking soldiers is poisonous, and he directly took away the elite backbone of Li Xiaogong's Jiannan Army Company.

Li Xiaogong naturally quit.

When Li Xiaogong found Li Yuan, he complained to Li Yuan.

It was only then that Li Yuan knew that Li Jiancheng had directly established the Anton Protectorate of the Great Tang without making a sound.

Li Yuan was about to send someone to notify Li Jiancheng, but he never thought that Li Jiancheng would arrive right after Li Xiaogong entered the Hall of Martial Virtue.

Li Jiancheng directly put a stack of memorials in front of Li Yuan, Li Yuan looked at it for a while, and frowned: "Why, not enough land?"

Li Jiancheng said with a wry smile: "The fields in Guanzhong are divided into fiefs and rewards, and now there are more than [-] hectares of idle land. No one thought that Lingnan would be so undisturbed. This time, the boss will be rewarded for his military exploits.

Li Yuan frowned.

Apart from a wry smile, Li Xiaogong said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it all depends on your majesty's reputation..."

Li Jiancheng said: "Li Jing, the left servant of the Guangbing Department, can get [-] households and [-] hectares of fertile land by himself. If you give cash to the soldiers below, I am afraid there will still be [-]% of the gap for the generals."

Li Yuan turned pale with shock and said, "It's so much worse?"

Li Xiaogong was also stunned.

Li Yuan said: "Then why did you let Li Shiji take away more than [-] troops?"

Li Jiancheng explained: "Father, after last year's defeat of Xue Yantuo's tribe, the Turkic people have recovered their vitality. Maybe there will be a big move this year. There is Erlang in Hedong, so don't worry, but Li Yi is not pure in his mind. , It is better to let him come to Chang'an as an official, I let Li Shiji go to Liaodong, and the establishment of the Andong Protectorate has two purposes, one is to deter the Eastern Turks, and the other is to use the fertile fields of Liaodong to reward the generals!"

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "Guanzhong really can't come up with [-] Qingtian!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Xiaogong and said: "You said that the Lingnan Army alone will reward [-] Qingtian?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "Not only that, it will cost [-] yuan to come down! Among them, all the soldiers who have been transferred away have military exploits, and they can reward soldiers with more than five hundred acres!"

Li Yuan was also silent now.

There is a lot of land in Guanzhong, plus the crazy mergers of the major families, plus years of defeats, land rewards for military exploits, the land in Guanzhong is not enough for just six years.

Historically, in the late Zhenguan period, the Tang army gradually ran out of land to reward. These Guanzhong soldiers were no longer keen on fighting. During the Li Zhi Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of Li Tang's army dropped very badly. In foreign wars, the outcome was mixed. Lost, lost the momentum of sweeping the world and invincibility at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Do you want to change the military system?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible, if so, it will definitely repeat the mistakes of Daqin~"

In the unification war, the Qin army was also victorious in every battle, defeating the heroes of the six countries.Because at that time, the military merits of the Qin Dynasty were still there, but after the unification war, especially in the later period of the unification war, the Yan State suddenly became impotent, so the Qin Dynasty government could not spend enough land to honor the military merits, so the soldiers At first glance, fuck it, fighting to the death and fighting, even the rewards are gone, what a fart.

Therefore, the rebellious army with hoes and sticks began to beat the Qin army to lose the city and land, and was defeated.

The system is the root of combat power guarantee.

The decline of the Tang Dynasty was the end of the military system of the Tang Dynasty.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty was also directly related to the inability of its guards to fight. Soldiers who are hungry cannot fight a tough battle.

There is a direct relationship between land and military merit.

A government that breaks promises and soldiers will definitely lose the support of soldiers!
Li Jiancheng directly copied Chen Ying's model in the Western Regions, which can solve this problem very well.
