I am Da Song

Chapter 34 Song Dynasty Loyalty Tradition

In the freezing weather, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Qin Hui's back.

The censor and the technocrats have already examined the head carefully, and it is time for Qin Hui to report the results.

Qin Hui secretly took a look at the smiling official on the city wall. The result he reported would affect countless aspects. First, it would affect whether he could keep his head today, and second...the second is not important!
The most important thing is your own life and death, it all depends on whether you guessed right this time.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Hui replied in a deep voice, "To the officials, these 47 heads are all golden heads!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of cheers on the city wall.The Tokyo Killing Hu Order took effect so quickly, and the results were reaped on the first day!
Amidst the cheers, Zhao Huan's calm and firm voice came out, and said: "All the ministers who have made meritorious service will be given the status of officials of the Fourth East Squad to show their loyalty. Li Bao, I will wait for you to kill another 53 people, and the Fourth Squad of the East will command the envoys." I will reserve the official position for you."

Immediately under the city wall, the voice of the mountain shouting long live was endless.

The official has really rewarded it!
With the head of a golden man, one can obtain the rank of commander-level official!

Some people wept with joy and kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Li Bao has read a little more than these brothers, and he knows better what the so-called East Fourth Class is, and why the officials use this to commend everyone's loyalty.

The so-called East Fourth Class is a new organization based on the extension of the East Third Class.

And Dongsan Class is also called Baby Class.

In history, after the Chenqiao mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin immediately led his army back to the capital Tokyo, and the high-spirited Zhao Kuangyin ate a closed door at the Xuanyou Gate in the north of Tokyo.

Zhao Kuangyin had to go to other city gates to try his luck. The guards at Renhe Gate saw that the old officer Zhao Kuangyin was about to enter the city, so they opened the gate to greet him. So Zhao Kuangyin successfully occupied the palace and became emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was proclaimed emperor, asked about the left and right, the guards at Renhe Gate were called "Sanzhi Ban", and the guards at Xuanyou Gate were called "Dongsan Ban".

So he ordered all the "Sanzhi Class" to be demoted to the first class, and the "Eastern Third Class" has since become Zhao Kuangyin's guard.

But what Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect was that all the "East Third Class" committed suicide.

After Zhao Kuangyin heard about it, he hurried over to stop it, but it was still too late.

When they arrived at the camp of the "Eastern Third Squad", there were corpses all over the ground, and only two commanders had not died yet.When the two commanders realized that the banner of the "Eastern Third Squad" would continue, they resolutely committed suicide.

The Dongsanban incident shocked Zhao Kuangyin a lot. He ordered that all soldiers should be compensated generously.

"Dongsanban" set up a model of "loyalty and integrity" to the people of the world, and loyalty and integrity gradually became the spirit respected by the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty.This is why Yue Fei engraved the words "Serve the country with loyalty" on his back.

In the ensuing hundreds of years, Dong Sanban remained committed to Da Song.They were present in the defense of Tokyo. When Emperor Huiqin was taken captive to Wuguocheng, he was followed by soldiers from the third squadron of the East.Emperor Gaozong avoided the pursuit of the Jin army, and he was also guarded by soldiers from the third squadron of the East when he was in the camp.

Even until a thousand years later, there were still sacrifices to Dongsanban in the Chenghuang Pailou Lane in Hangzhou during the Celestial Dynasty.

Appointing these loyal Tokyo citizens as the soldiers of the Fourth Eastern Squad clearly met Zhao Huan's need to demonstrate the loyalty and integrity of the Song Dynasty.It can also encourage the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty to go to the national disaster together.

As for the one-time appointment of so many officials at the level of commander and envoy, will it affect the normal system and finances of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty?
Zhao Huan smiled slightly. If he had such worries, he really underestimated the Song Dynasty, the dynasty that "claimed" to be the wealthiest of all dynasties.

In the Song Dynasty, only the imperial guards on duty in front of the imperial court consisted of 22 squads, including Dianqian Left Squad, Dianqian Right Squad, Inner Dian Straight Squad, Golden Spear Squad, Silver Spear Squad, and Bow and Arrow Squad, with more than [-] people.

This is not counting the commander in front of the hall, Shizhi, Yulong Zuozhi, Yulong right value, inner hall Zhizhi, etc., and a series of cavalry.

"Water Margin" said that there were 800 people in the direct class of the Great Song Troupe. Although Zhao Huan didn't know the exact number of people, he estimated that the scale was only a lot more than this number.

However, with the siege of Tokyo and the 3 people brought into the city by Zhang Shuye, the total number of forbidden soldiers in Tokyo is only 1, and more than [-] people were executed by Zhao Huan. A few thousand.

Most of the [-] class quotas are now vacant.

Not to mention the appointment of 47 squad members, even if there are 470, [-], Zhao Huan will not blink his eyes.

Eighty percent of Song's fiscal revenue of nearly [-] million yuan has been spent on military expenditures, and the abundant military expenditures that can be provided are beyond ordinary people's imagination!
Now the so-called million forbidden troops in the Song Dynasty were almost all reimbursed by the Jin army in the Battle of Taiyuan.

As long as Zhao Huan can defend the city of Tokyo, even if he appoints 14 squadrons, the military expenditure will not be consumed by half, and the remaining half of the military expenditure is still enough to form a new army.

But obviously, the total size of the Golden Army may not be 14.

If it is really possible to defeat the Jin Army by appointing Ban Zhi and rewarding the people, then Zhao Huan can wake up with a happy smile in his sleep.

In the Song Dynasty, any matter that can be solved with money is still a matter?

After setting the rewards, the officials of the Rewarding Department went out of the city to confirm the list of rewards in detail with Li Bao and others.

The Department of Appreciation and Merit was established when Zhao Huan's predecessor was guarding Tokyo. It was specially set up to reward soldiers and record military merits.

Zhao Huan felt that this was one of the few meaningful departments set up by Qinzong, so he reused it.

When the number of rewards was determined, the soldiers outside the city excitedly kowtowed again to the figure standing calmly on the city wall.

With the quota, it means that the inner city will start to engrave seals and seals, and it will not be long before these previously low-status civilians will transform themselves into equal ranks with the commanders.Since then, with the rich salary of the country, the whole family has no worries about food and clothing.

With this motivation, how can other people not fight the enemy bravely?
Whoever wants to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty now, whoever dares to shake the position of the official family, will be the enemy of these upstart soldiers and will never stop dying!

Seeing these passionate and heroic people in Tokyo who actively seek war, Zhao Huan felt a lot.

The city of Tokyo has been at peace for a hundred years, but the courage of the people in Tokyo at this time far exceeds that of ordinary people who have been in peace for more than 30 years.

It's not that the people of later generations are more unbearable, but that compared with the people of Tokyo, the people of later generations lack something.

When Zhao Huan was watching TV, he also had doubts in his heart.If I am in the face of a national crisis, can I resist torture like those great ancestors and never confess?

Zhao Huan felt that he was 100% unable to do it, and even almost 90.00% of nine ([-]?) people in later generations could not do it.

That's because the most critical link is missing, that is, the unforgettable hatred for the invaders.

So many great ancestors can do it, but modern people can't do it, just because they are not in that time and space, their relatives are no longer there, and they don't have that kind of hatred.

If Ruo witnessed the beheading of his mother, the head with fascia rolled down at his feet.The wife is crucified naked on the table in front of her.The lovely three-year-old daughter was pierced by a spear as a chest and picked up. Her once clear and lovely eyes were full of pain, and blood fell down on her head along the blade of the gun.

Can't stand it?Will be afraid of death?Would you kneel on the ground and beg the invaders to spare their lives?
I am afraid that they will fight the invaders at all costs.

But at the moment, the city of Tokyo is encountering everything that no one in the future generations has encountered.The Jin army invaded the south, and the stench could be heard for hundreds of miles around Tokyo.The Song people's hatred for the Jin army is unforgettable, and their hatred is soaring.

Therefore, as long as the government encourages the people in Tokyo, they will come again and again like clouds, and resist the invaders tenaciously.

So far, Zhao Huan no longer doubts the will of the people in Tokyo to resist.

In order to effectively motivate these people who fought desperately with the Jin army, they will be rewarded generously, and there will never be any arrears.This can make the resistance of the outer city of Tokyo more intense, like cooking oil with a raging fire.

Every time the Jin army entered the city to attack, it would be harassed and forced to wear down in this fiery area.
