Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 23

On the straw paper in front of Qiu Wu, there are crooked handwriting, and dozens of versions can be written for the word "人".

The supervisors of the Guozijian were also helpless. They didn't dare to beat, scold, or even speak loudly to these army masters.

"This is from top to bottom left, not from bottom to top."

"Pu and Na are close together, if you separate, it's [-]%!"

Looking at the writing brush in front of him, Qiu Wu was very astonished. How could it be so hard to use this brush, which is less than half a tael.After a while the arm was sore.

Even playing with big swords for a long time is not necessarily so tiring.

Time is tough.

By the time I got there, my back was already sweating.

The seasonal officer announced the end of the evening class, and left the hall without looking back.

At the end of the day, I was really tired, and my eyelids started to fight a long time ago. When I got back to the military tent, as soon as I lay down on the bedding, I started snoring, one after another.

If it was in the past, these soldiers would have rebelled a long time ago. Serving as a soldier to eat food and work hard for your emperor, they don’t feel that they owe you anything. They don’t know what it means to defend the country and what is the responsibility of soldiers.

The soldiers in the late Tang Dynasty were very bullish. If they wanted to fight, they had to be rewarded with money, and if they wanted to train, they had to be rewarded with money.

Once there is no money, sorry, either the army will no longer obey the command, or they may mutiny.

This is fatal.

Turning over the history of the Tang Dynasty, it can be described as bloodstained.

For example, in the Jingyuan mutiny that occurred during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, five thousand Jingyuan soldiers came to Chang'an, but they were not rewarded by the emperor, so they became angry and captured Chang'an.

Even Emperor Dezong was forced to flee to Hanzhong in a hurry.

What the predecessors did, future generations learn from.

How to solve it, Li Ye threw the problem to Du Rangneng.

"In the past, there was a mutiny in Jingyuan, Dezong hunted in the west, and the rebellious soldiers entered Chang'an, burned, killed, looted, and destroyed the palace. What is the reason?"

"The son of heaven cultivates virtue, he should be tolerant to the world, be kind to his soldiers, and rewards and punishments are clear, so that this disaster can be avoided."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "If the Son of Heaven has no money and no way to show favor, should he be arrested without a fight?"

If the emperor had no money, would he not be able to command the army?

Du Rang could not speak.

Li Ye said: "The benefactor is not just money, it should benefit the family, the army and the army are one body, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and one is damaged and all are damaged."

Du Rangneng said: "Warriors don't know etiquette, don't understand reason, it's not easy."

Li Ye shook his head, the literati's prejudice against warriors was formed in countless times of blood.

But is this really entirely the responsibility of the warriors?
For the general's selfish desires, he took money out of the chaos. Afterwards, he had a better attitude, and the court immediately recruited him and appointed him an official position.

Serving well as a soldier won't get you promoted, but if you make a mess, you will be promoted.

Don't have any scruples about making trouble for the generals, isn't the court responsible?Compromises again and again have widened the general's appetite, and what does the general rely on to make trouble.

It relies on soldiers, and it relies on the bottom-level soldiers.

What the big soldiers need is nothing more than to have children and support their families.

Li Ye looked at Du Rangneng and was very dissatisfied. The officials of the Tang Dynasty had suffered so many losses, so they didn't have any memory at all. It is ridiculous to entrust the society of the Tang Dynasty on the morality of a few people.

"If I want to win the hearts of the soldiers, I should divide the land so that I will not worry about hunger and cold. I will have no worries when I am young. For those who died in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court will provide for the old and the young according to the situation. Either the land tax will be exempted, or money will be rewarded.

I want to build a military school with the hearts of soldiers. All generals who understand civilization and principles, and ordinary soldiers who are outstanding can also learn it. After learning, they can be promoted to generals. "

Du Rangneng hesitated and said, "The demand is so great that the Ministry of Household Affairs may not be able to continue."

"First easy and then difficult, prepare your ears slowly!"

Dividing the land, Chang'an has gone through wars, and there are many unowned lands. For those who are soldiers or generals, according to their positions, ordinary soldiers can be divided into [-] acres of Yongye farmland, and it is not difficult to upgrade to five acres.

To build a school for the children of martial arts, Li Ye donated several private houses to settle the premises, so that the Imperial Academy could send out some old masters to teach. This matter is not a big problem.

Soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty were exempted from taxation, and the imperial court paid pensions according to the situation, supported their elderly, and raised their children.The national policy can be promulgated first. Those who died in battle before can be ratified by the imperial court depending on the situation.

The focus is of course the generals school.

A regular school would naturally not fit in the Daming Palace. There must be a decent school dormitory, dormitory, and school field. This class is not a good choice.

Datang is currently short of financial resources, and it is impossible to build a new one.

Du Rangneng said: "You can requisition Yang Fugong's official residence in Zhaoyifang, which is close to the Yushan military camp."

Li Ye thought it was also very suitable. The Yushan military camp could also train an army, called the Datang Army Disciplinary Guard Army. During the war, it would be transferred to guard the generals and patrol the military law of each army.

"Can!"

"The school has a department of administrative affairs, which teaches military law and discipline, and criticizes the government. A department of military affairs is set up, which teaches military law and military affairs, marches and deploys troops. A department of assessment is set up to evaluate pros and cons, and a department of logistics is set up..."

Li Ye was suffering from Zhu Yuanzhang's illness, and he was afraid that the school would be run out of shape. What each position in the school should and could not do was determined one by one with Du Rangneng, even the guards and sentries. .

This tossing lasted until dawn, when the rooster crowed three times, Gu Zhong remembered that Li Ye asked Du Rang to go back to rest, and he changed into his military uniform by himself and came to the school grounds.

I took all the soldiers to run for five miles, as a routine, after running, took a shower, slept all morning, and then stood in line with the soldiers.

Li Ye felt as if he had returned to his military life when he was young, and he was very devoted.

And all the soldiers also practiced personally under His Majesty the Emperor, and their hot thoughts slowly settled.

A month later, it has worked.When they appeared in the barracks with medals issued by the emperor, dark and strong bodies, calm breath, and tall and straight figures, those ordinary soldiers immediately exploded, with awe in their eyes.

For ordinary soldiers, the school officers and lieutenants are too far away, but it can be seen that their team leaders and team officers are still the same as before.

In the past, they were different from the big soldiers like them in terms of official positions. Now, from the inside to the outside, the aura they exude is no longer comparable to them.

How does His Majesty the Emperor practice.

What made them even more excited was that basically all those who participated in the training were promoted, and their team was being promoted to the deputy commander of the school, and also served as the commander of the No. [-] school of the Sixth Capital.

Although the sixth capital has not yet formed an army, and is still a short-term commander, the real benefits are really enviable.

The school officer received 800 more papers per month than the captain. This month has always been more, and the land can be divided into 50 acres of industrial land. These days are simply earth-shatteringly easy.

"The emperor's kindness, all soldiers have the opportunity. From today on, anyone who has achieved results in training and learning can enter the school."

"I have a chance too!"

"As long as I train hard, can I become an officer?"

"It's been a good day."
