Chapter 358 Awards
Of course, these are only preliminary ideas, and the specific operation needs to be discussed in detail with Lu Zhi and others.

What to take and how to take the test, you can't just pat your thighs to decide.

In fact, this shortened version of the imperial examination is also beneficial to the powerful scholars.

After all, it is not ordinary people who can read these days.

Yang Zheng just wanted to open a gap in the gentry's monopoly on knowledge.

Compared with Yingchuan, Taiyuan, and Yanzhou, the nobles in Liangzhou were much weaker.

Basically, they are small and medium gentry.

In terms of Confucianism, the most influential ones are the Anding Huangfu family, the Zhang family, the Dunhuang Suo family, the Longxi Li family was not popular in this era, and the Longxi Xin family was quite prosperous in the early years, but later a part of the Xin family entered Taiyuan and joined Yuan Shao's command , one entered Yingchuan and became part of the Yingchuan gentry,

The gentry in Liangzhou were not powerful enough, so Yang Zheng could take a step forward.

After the spring plowing was over, the meritorious soldiers gathered in Guzang.

"Cheng Xi, turn [-] military merits, seal Fei Qilang! Reward [-] acres of fertile land!" Pang Qing read aloud.

A young Hu man bowed in front of Yang Zheng.

There were three knife marks on his face, which looked hideous and terrifying.

But at this moment, his face was trembling slightly, and his eyes were excited.

Yang Zheng handed him a fine ring sword, a land deed, and an iron plate engraved with "Fei Qi Lang".

Armored warriors, warriors, and fierce warriors are first-class wooden plaques; Yunqilang, Feiqilang, and Xiaoqilang use iron plaques; Yingjilang and Huweilang use bronze medals; The army and the guard army use gold medals.

"As the sky bears witness, my subordinates are willing to be smashed to pieces for the general!" Cheng Xi spoke fluent Chinese.

Judging by his blue eyeballs and slightly curly hair, he should be a descendant of the Huns and the Hu people in the Western Regions.

But it doesn't matter now.

Yang Zheng gave him a new identity and supreme glory.

"I don't need to be smashed to pieces, but I want you to live well and witness a new era of generals!" When talking to your subordinates, you don't need to be polite.

Cheng Xi's whole body trembled, "This subordinate obeys orders!"

With the honor of Xiaoqilang, he will give priority to recruiting officers in the future.

"Jiang Lie, rank four military merits, seal Yun Qilang, and enjoy [-] acres of land!"

Another Qiang man worshiped in front of Yang Zheng, his muscles were knotted like rocks.

However, his appearance is also quite vicious, his beard and hair are messy like thorns, and a pair of big eyes like copper bells, like a bloodthirsty tiger.

As soon as the knife, the land deed, and the iron plate were handed over to him, the ferocious Qiang Han started crying like a child, "I, I was originally a Hequ Qiang slave, and I worked hard all my life. Only when I followed the general did I eat." Take a bite of hot rice...fight the enemy bravely, and still be an adult, my life is worth it!"

The adults are the nobles in the tribe.

Yang Zheng was also quite emotional, he could understand this feeling very well.

Like the Han people, many Qiang people started farming and grazing when they were five or six years old, and went into battle with knives at the age of twelve or thirteen. They lived to their 30s, dying of exhaustion or fighting.

The nobles are always the nobles who step on their heads.

Yang Zheng helped the strong man up, "How can such a strong man cry? He is only a Yun Qilang, and he will be my general in the future!"

Jiang Lie stared blankly at Yang Zheng, forgetting to wipe away his tears.

Yang Zheng laughed out loud.

Jiang Lie also laughed out loud.

"Li Fu, rank four military merits, seal Yun Qilang, and enjoy [-] acres of land!"

... At the end of the day, Yang Zheng's voice was smoking, and his waist was numb from standing.

Pang Qing advised Yang Zheng to take a break and leave it to Xuanyi Division.

But on this matter, Yang Zheng insisted on doing everything by himself.

If you want soldiers to be loyal, you must at least let them know who they are loyal to?

Fei Qilang, Yun Qilang, Warriors, Warriors, and Armored Warriors, there are a total of 470 people. It took Yang Zheng five days, from morning to night, to complete the award.

Seeing the happy and excited eyes of the hardworking soldiers, Yang Zheng felt that no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it.

What's the point of fighting with the soldiers on the front line and working hard for the past few days?
After the award was completed, Yang Zheng ordered the personal guard battalion and the auxiliary troops to take turns to rest for ten days and return home to visit their families.

Soldiers stationed at the border were rewarded with wine and meat if they could not take a rest.

Soldiers regard honor as their life.

The sense of honor can also indirectly stimulate the sense of belonging, identity and dignity of soldiers.

Everything in the world complements each other.

After the honors were awarded to the living, Yang Zheng did not forget the soldiers who died in battle.

A huge stone monument was built in the south of Guzang City, named the Heroic Soul Monument, and the names of every fallen soldier were engraved on it.

Their remains were buried around the stele.

Yang Zheng took Du Yu, Wei Guan and other Xiping generals to worship in person.

Then he ordered Xuanyi Division to visit their families and give the small bronze medals of "bravery" to their families one by one.

The compensation for self-owned Luzhi will be implemented later.

The offspring will be included in the youth camp and carefully cultivated.

Disabled soldiers will also be taken care of. After recovering from their injuries, they will be transferred to Xuanyi and enter the Tuntian Division, or they will serve as chiefs and corps chiefs in localities to manage civilian households.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a system of three elders. People who were over fifty years old, had practice, and were able to command others to do good. They were regarded as three elders, and one person from the township; the three elders from the township were selected as the county three elders.

In fact, they are the township officials who manage the places under the imperial court.

However, it objectively promoted the development of local tyrants.

So much so that in the end, the imperial power could not come down to the county.

These retired soldiers are not from the local area, they are loyal to Yang Zheng and can pass on Yang Zheng's will to the village.

After finishing all this work, it was already the end of May, and the news from Luoyang also came back.

Not only did the imperial court not agree to designate Yang Zheng as the governor of Liangzhou, general of Zhenxi, and governor of Liangzhou's military forces, but also promoted Ma Yan, the captain of Wuji, as the governor of Liangzhou, and Shoutian, the bald man of Hexi Xianbei, as the captain of Xiqiang...

This shows that the imperial court has no respect for itself at all.

Yang Zheng was furious for a while, the general of Zhenxi, the governor of Liangzhou and the military forces were a bit big, but the name of the governor of Liangzhou was well deserved.

The generals in the army were even more excited, even more excited than digging their ancestral graves.

One by one, they wanted to take down Chang'an, invade Luoyang, and burn the ancestral graves of Sima's family.

The folk customs of the Northwest are so aggressive.

Given the current situation, Yang Zheng only had one prefect of Jincheng, plus one Marquis of Ting, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Face is given to each other.

Since Sima Zhao didn't give him face, then he didn't have to give him any more face.

Yang Zheng directly built an altar in the east of Guzang City to offer sacrifices to the sky, and worshiped Luoyang from a distance, "The ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty are on the top, Sima Shi is a rebel, and heaven has punished him. His younger brother Sima Zhao deceived the king with many tricks. The Great Wei was so kind and did not repay His Majesty. Now Your Majesty is being held hostage by the Sima Clan's thieves. I can't sleep all night. Every time I think of Your Majesty's humiliation and burden, my heart feels like a knife is piercing my heart. I just hate that I can't drive [-] Xiliang people into Luo Sweeping out all the thieves, it is up to the soldiers to use their lives, the gods bless them, break through Wuwei, the Liangzhou gentry are running and cheering for three days and three nights, this means that the hearts of the people are in our great Wei. Leading the governor of Liangzhou, the governor of Yongliang and the military, the hearts of the people are like this, they dare not resign, the ministers are not talented, and they are willing to command the hearts of the people and the strength of the people. Ten years of life and ten years of lessons will lead Xiliang's millions of loyal people to drive straight in and take Chang'an first. , and then go to Luoyang, and then destroy the whole family of the Sima family, and give back my great Wei Langlang!"

After Yang Zheng finished reading, he almost moved himself.

It is a routine operation in this era to promote yourself.

It doesn't matter whether others agree or not, as long as your own people agree.
