Chapter 303: Military reaction
"House of Glory!"

After coming down to court, Fan Zheng proposed the title of Glorious House, which immediately caused an uproar in the military.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, tattoos for joining the army have been widely discriminated against among the people.

The saying that "good iron does not make nails, and good men do not serve as soldiers" spread more and more widely, and more and more people among the people did not want to serve as soldiers.

This situation is not unnoticed by the courtiers, but they are helpless. After all, it is the general trend to use literature to control military force. After hundreds of years of evolution, these customs have been deeply rooted and hard to return.

Of course, the courtiers did not sit still. Faced with the predicament, they chose another path of no return, which was to expand the army!

When the Song Dynasty was first founded, the forbidden army was only 20. However, as the quality of the soldiers gradually decreased, in order to have enough troops to resist foreign enemies, the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty expanded again and again, and the number of the forbidden army has increased by four times.

The military expenses and weapons required by the 80 forbidden troops eventually formed a pattern of redundant troops in the Song Dynasty.

However, who would have thought that the stubborn disease that left the elites of the Song Dynasty helpless would be cured by the evil doctor Fan Zheng with a small plaque.

The Yang Family of Tianbo Mansion!
It had already been reported that Yang Bangyi, the eldest son of Yang, had won the top prize in martial arts, and the entire Yang family was filled with joy.

"Congratulations, old lady!"

Guests from the Yang family kept coming and came to say congratulations.

"Happy together! Happy together!"

The old lady of the Yang family laughed from ear to ear!
Tianbo Mansion has been in decline for too long, and has almost been forgotten by Kaifeng City. Fortunately, the opera "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" became popular and once again brought the Yang family back into the court's sight.

But now the imperial court is reforming extensively and attaches great importance to martial arts and martial arts. Yang Bangyi won the champion of martial arts in both civil and martial arts, and the resurgence of Tianbo Mansion is just around the corner.

"Lord Fan, the magistrate of Kaifeng, is here!"

Suddenly a notification came, which immediately caused an uproar in Tianbo Mansion.

"Fan Chunli, the magistrate of Kaifeng, the father of the evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, Fan Chunli's prefect of Kaifeng was not obvious, but his identity as the father of the evil doctor Fan Zheng was even more famous.

"The Fan family can be said to be the benefactors of Tianbo Mansion. It seems that the Fan family is going to make friends with the Yang family."

"The general that the Fan family valued last time was General Di, but this time it is the Yang family. It seems that the Yang family is about to prosper."

........................

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and everyone in the world knew that Fan Zhongyan's support was indispensable for Di Qing's success back then, but now that the Fan family valued the Yang family so much, they couldn't help but stop thinking about it.

"Prefect Fan came to Tianbo Mansion, and Tianbo Mansion is full of splendor!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady of the Yang family came immediately with Yang Bangyi, and thanked Fan Chunli solemnly.

"Yang Bangyi has met the magistrate!" Yang Bangyi stepped forward and saluted Fan Chunli solemnly.

"He is indeed a good son of my Song Dynasty. In the future, don't bury the expectations of the ancestors of the Yang family." Fan Chunli pointed out.

Yang Bangyi said with a solemn expression: "I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Fan's expectations."

Fan Chunli looked around at the slightly dilapidated Tianbo Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Your Majesty decreed that in order to reward the soldiers for protecting their families and defending the country, each government is responsible for making plaques of the glorious home and distributing them to the families of the soldiers. The Yang family has served the country for a hundred years, and several generations of sons and daughters died in battle. It is the home of the martyrs. A role model."

After Fan Chunli finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a team of yamen servants carried a plaque.

"House of Glory!" The four gold-plated characters on the plaque are particularly dazzling.

The old lady of the Yang family looked at these four big characters and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Great Song Dynasty used culture to control martial arts, and the status of warriors was low, especially the men who died in battle, leaving only orphans and widowed mothers in the family of warriors was in a difficult situation.

Many of the Yang family's men died in battle, and the old, weak, women and children left behind were looked down upon. Now, the title of this glorious family immediately made everyone in the Yang family feel proud.

"Thank you to the officials! The Yang family swears their allegiance to Song Dynasty!"

Under the leadership of the old lady of the Yang family, everyone in the Yang family solemnly kowtowed in the direction of the palace.

After sending off to the Yang family, Fan Chunli sent plaques of glorious homes to the families of generals of the Song Dynasty one by one, even the second brother Fan Chunren's home also sent a pair.

"There are also box soldiers?"

Fan Chunren said in surprise.

Fan Zhengping is now leading the Construction Corps, but it was transformed from the original Xiangbing, and now it is also awarded the title of Glory House by the court.

Fan Chunli nodded solemnly and said: "More than that, no matter whether they are the Forbidden Army or the side soldiers, or even the widows of soldiers and retired veterans, as long as they have been affiliated with the military, they all have the plaque of the Glorious Home."

Fan Chunren said solemnly: "The government's plans are huge!"

It would not be surprising if it was only to win over the imperial army, but Zhao Xu must have other plans if the officials even included soldiers who were active or retired.

Fan Chunli nodded slightly and looked to the west and north.

Obviously, the purpose of the officials to win over the military is to guard against Xixia and Liao. Now that the Song Dynasty has already had a thunderbolt, if the 80 forbidden troops work together to serve the officials, then the Song and Liaoxia might not have the strength to fight .

........................

As the plaques of the Home of Glory were distributed to the people, brand-new plaques of the Home of Glory were hung on the house numbers of every soldier.

Many family members of soldiers and soldiers were in tears. They fought for the country for generations, but they were discriminated against by others, and now they have finally been recognized by the court.

At present, the family members of the soldiers regard the plaque of the Glorious Home as a treasure and put it in the most prominent position in the home.

The House of Glory is neither gold nor silver, but gold is incomparable and silver cannot be exchanged.

With the approval of the imperial court, the families of millions of soldiers can finally hold their heads high and hold their heads high in front of their neighbors.

"Thank you, Mrs. Fan, for this good plan, so that my millions of soldiers can hold their heads high!"

In Kaifeng City, in the Fengle Tower, Zhong Pu, who had been traveling to Beijing in a hurry, saluted Fan Zheng solemnly.

Most of Chong Pu and the soldiers of the Western Expedition were Fan Zheng's comrades who fought against Xixia together in Pingxia City.

"Master Superintendent understands the thoughts of our officers and men. Liu is more excited to receive the honorary plaque from the imperial court than to come to Kaifeng to receive the reward for his meritorious service." Next to Zhongpu, a school lieutenant thanked him.

"That's right, I'd rather bleed on the battlefield than see other people look at me with contemptuous eyes tattooed on my face."

A school lieutenant said rudely, but all the soldiers nodded in unison.

Fan Zheng looked around at the light and heavy tattoos on everyone's faces and consoled them: "The imperial court has ordered the abolition of tattoos for officers to join the army. In the future, the tattoos on your faces will be the glory of joining the army."

All the school lieutenants immediately beamed with joy. If this was the usual statement, the generals would definitely not believe it. However, the imperial court has spread the plaques of the Glory House to affirm them in honor, and immediately wiped out the complaints in the hearts of all the officers and men.
