Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 560 Khitan Eight Banners
At the same time that Guo Yaoshi was feeling malicious, waves of refugees also ushered in Liangshan Army territory.The source of the latter is mainly the Liao land and the southwestern part of Henan in later generations.

The former is a chronic disease, the Khitan people are exploited too much, the upper-class nobles don’t care about the life and death of the lower-class people, they only blindly squeeze money and food, expand the army and reorganize the army, then in autumn and winter, there will be no ghosts if there is not a large wave of refugees!For this, Lu Qian has long told people to 'be ready'!
After Yizhou and Zhuozhou were captured by the Liangshan Army, the local people went through half a year of recuperation. They were far from rich, but at least they had food for the winter.Compared with the people of other Han states in Liao, there is a sharp contrast.A group of civil and military personnel in northern Hebei had reported this matter in the zhezi long ago, and the facts were as expected.

The number of people from the Liao region who fled to northern Hebei this year, as well as people from Khitan, Bohai and other tribes, is much higher than last year.

Then Southwest Henan is now Jingxi South Road, which is Nanyang, Dengzhou, Fangzhou, Nanfeng Mansion, etc. In the past, it was the place where Wang Qingjun rose.There was Wang Qing here before, and then the Western Army, and now the Liangshan Army has killed them again. The people's livelihood is dying, the people are suffering, and the refugees are all over the border. After dealing with these refugees, it is undoubtedly the first step for the Liangshan Army to gain a firm foothold here. key point.

However, years of experience and various officials trained by the 'system' have made Lu Qian full of confidence.First use work for relief, then organize households to equalize the people, then clear the farmland, distribute the land, supplemented by publicizing the new tax system, and other means, then the situation will be able to live in stability.In the coming year, the people will be able to recuperate and recuperate after a year, and then they will know whether it is Zhao's family or King Lu's.

Just like the people in Liao this year, look at the lives of the people in many other Hanzhous, and then look at the lives of the people in Zhuozhou and Yizhou in the second half of the year. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm.

Even those Khitan people and Bohai people flocking to the south, so why not?
They are all the same people. Seeing people who were as miserable as themselves in the past, live a good life in the blink of an eye. Only saints can be calm.

If so, Lu Qian recruited a group of civil and military officials to discuss the matter. Those Khitan, Bohai and even Tatars who poured in could not treat them as the same as the Han people in the north.Xuan Zan was also honored to be present as he was in command of the Khitan cavalry.

King Lu first asked about the situation of the Khitan camp. After a year of rectification, the latter was completely different from the previous ones. You could tell a thing or two just by looking at the expression on Xuan Zan's face.

When Lu Qian fought in the Central Plains earlier, Xuan Zan wrote more than once to ask for a fight, and the Khitan camp was also eager to fight.After all, those Khitan people and Bohai people who can join the army are not people who keep their own place. They have been in the Liangshan Army for so long. Go back on your word and get fat.

All the soldiers in the Khitan battalion owed a huge amount of debts. In order to accommodate their families, or to equip their own weapons, they counted one by one. Who didn't borrow money from the bank?That is, all the military pay in the future will be used to pay off the debt.That was the time when they were in a hurry to spend money, but Lu Qian knew that this battle would not be very difficult, so how could he let them go?

Just like the boiled eagle, pressing it is even more beneficial.

If the soldiers of the Khitan Battalion were only hungry in the middle of the year, they are hungry now.The Liangshan army swept the Central Plains and returned victoriously, so naturally they rewarded them generously.But is there any news from the army?How easy it was to be defeated by the Liangshan Army this time, he couldn't believe that the Khitan soldiers couldn't hear it.So, don't these people look forward to war even more?
Facts have proved that as long as there are enough benefits, it is not uncommon to be happy after hearing the war!
"Since September, people from the north have entered our territory. There are many Han people in them. There is no need to worry about this. What the king is worried about is the Khitan, Bohai, Tatar and other tribes inside."

Lu Qian held a booklet in his hand, which was just sent by Song Jiang, governor of northern Hebei. He had already sent it to the cabinet. Compared with the people from the north who flooded into Han territory last year, the number this year has greatly increased.

"The people of that generation are similar to our Central Plains people in appearance. However, if it is not my race, their hearts must be different. We must guard against it. And we treat the Han people in the north well because they are connected by blood, and they are all Chinese. Why are they called foreigners? equate?"

Everyone in the room disagreed with what Lu Qian said.The taxation strategy of the Liangshan Army is much lower than that of Zhao Songke. This is a benevolent and good governance. How can foreigners enjoy it?The two are not the same country.

Or some people say that Lu Qian is just talking nonsense, the taxation of the Liao Kingdom is lighter than him now, and it is even more incomparable with Zhao Song earlier.It can be said to be light and thin.Su Zhe recorded in "Luancheng Collection" that under the rule of the Liao Dynasty, the management of the Yanyun area was orderly, and the taxation of the people was relatively light, which was in sharp contrast to the heavy taxation in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty: In the land of Yan, grazing, living and sitting are limited to the wild land, and they dare not invade the tax land. The tax and labor are quite light, and the Han people can easily supply them."

However, Lu Qian also has a point here, it was a peaceful year for the Liao Kingdom, what about now?The Khitan people wanted to snatch the last grain of grain from the Han people in the north.What's more, even in a peaceful year, the Liao land is half sandy and moraine, and it is cold at three o'clock, and the spring and autumn are plowed and harvested at the right time.It is also very different.

You must know that this era is transitioning from the warm period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the "Little Ice Age" of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The climate in the north is colder than other historical eras, and even the Central Plains has a lot of influence.In the first year of Zhenghe (1111), the entire Taihu Lake froze and traffic was allowed on the ice, and all the famous oranges in Dongting Mountain of Taihu Lake froze to death.The snowflakes of that year fell until late spring.The Central Plains have such an influence, let alone the Northland.

The Khitan people have always been taxed mainly on agriculture and animal husbandry, and the impact was already serious. When the Jurchens raised their troops and the country was in turmoil, money was needed even more, so they could only squeeze the people.

At this time, the taxation of the Liao Kingdom is different from that of 20 years ago. It is a blessing to come to the Central Plains from Liao.

However, this blessing cannot be just for nothing and let the Khitan, Bohai, and Tatars enjoy it.

What Lu Qian meant, all the civil and military people present also meant the same way, a very simple concept of distance, but it is deeply rooted in people's minds.The Tatars seem to have no grievances with the Central Plains, but one only needs to know that they are also aliens.

"For these people, the king wants to establish a vassal army. All foreign nationalities such as Khitan, Bohai, and Tatar will be included. Ask each household to send one soldier, or a few soldiers, with ten soldiers as a small banner and five small banners as a general. Banners, the two general banners are [-] households, with one person per [-] households; every [-] households are [-] households, with [-] households and [-] person; .Thousands of households can be called the capital.”

Originally, Lu Qian wanted to create an Eight Banners.But words like Niu Lu and Jia La were too nonsense nowadays, so he thought of the Weisuo in the Ming Dynasty.But I still felt that the gap between a hundred households and a thousand households was too big, so that the original design included a main building.This was an official position during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Li Yuan's great-grandfather Li Tianxi once served as the leader of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and could command 500 people.

But after thinking about it, it wasn't necessary.A single thousand households, the power will not be out of control.

And this is more conducive to the control of thousands of households over hundreds of households.You must know that the position of the Banner Owner is not for life, let alone hereditary.Lu Qian would not give them a big chance, he had already thought of this.

Therefore, he only included 5000 people in a 1 households, because [-] people are too huge.

"Nine is the extreme number. This king will use eight. In the future, there will be eight banners named as Zhenghuang, Zhengbai, Zhenghong, Zhenglan, Xianghuang, Xiangbai, Xianghong and Xianglan." Lu Qian would give The banners provide the initial armament materials, but if they want more and better ones, they can only go to the battlefield to fight hard.The military merit points are exchanged for armaments with money.

"The Eight Banners are all servants of the king. Each banner uses the army to rule the people, and the subordinates must obey the superiors. Swearing and scolding, life and death, and seizing what is given are all the best intentions. Every time a battle is won, the king will take [-]%. And the people of each banner , Every person who makes meritorious service on the battlefield will also receive the same award as the Han soldiers."

"Those who can make ten meritorious deeds can go out and give the Han surname. This is a compliment. From then on, they will be the people of China, no longer slaves. The old things in the past are like this passing time, gone and never returned. "

"People of that generation can continue to serve in the banner, with a thousand households as the top. But things change at any time, and the position is different, and the limit for leaving the banner is also different. The leader of a banner will be removed in ten years. When the time comes, the country's surname will be bestowed, and the achievements will be rewarded and knighted." The banner owner of each banner is selected from among thousands of households.It can be said that in this way, the status of a thousand households in each banner will be greatly increased, which also increases the overall control of the banner owner over his subordinates.

Although the Eight Banners system is an initial creation and looks crude, it is actually interlocking.After all, there is the Eight Banners in official history as a reference.

And with the red line of "narrating achievements and discussing rewards", no flag leader would be willing to sink into obscurity and do nothing.But their achievements are all gained by fighting on the battlefield. As long as they fight hard, there will be casualties. If the flag owner is too aggressive, the people of the flag will suffer the most.And can the relationship between the two really be as good as a fish in water?
In ten years, in the time limit of "ten years" known to all households, even if there is a talent from heaven, I am afraid that he can only gather a banner of people's hearts in his hands.However, the Eight Banners are not affiliated with each other, and only rely on the strength of one banner, how dare they go against the general trend?
Lu Qian will not choose someone from among the Eight Banners owners to command the Eight Banners on the battlefield, he will set up a position, just like the Governor of the Grassland, and he will command the Eight Banners.And this person must be Han Chinese!
"What do you think, how about this king's design?"

Lu Qian asked the civil and military ministers who were sitting down.The latter looked at each other in blank dismay. No one could have imagined that he had designed such a colossus and such a relatively meticulous system.

There are millions of nomads on the northern prairie, and none of you here is a reckless man like Li Kui. Of course, we know that the nomads in the north are a threat to the Central Plains, but it is difficult to kill them in the most powerful times of all dynasties. Clean.Lu Qian's design can actually gather hundreds of thousands of people, which is only a small part of them, but it can achieve the effect of "using the barbarians to control the barbarians".

"It's impossible for this king to kill all the northern lands, and he can't do this. He can only control one part and tell them to kill each other." This is essentially consuming the vitality of the grassland nomads, and it is also a kind of red fruit. fruit trade.The more ruthless the killing, the greater the credit. For the Eight Banners, and for those upper-level figures, it is obvious whether it is the title or the profit.

It's just that they need to change their identity and become Han Chinese when they are enjoying their blessings.

"Your Majesty is wise, you can see thousands of miles away, and I can't wait for you. It's just that although this method has never been developed before, according to my opinion, there is still a little unknown. When the Eight Banners fight, there must be losses. What will be added to the lost troops? What will be added to the people who have entered the banner?" Zong Ze, Wen Huanzhang and others exchanged glances.Wen Huanzhang was the first to stand up and speak.

Lu Qian naturally thought about this, thinking that the Eight Banners soldiers in the official history were as fierce as tigers when they entered the customs.Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is disgusting, the facts cannot be slandered.The soldiers of the Eight Banners were still very capable of fighting at the beginning.Can look at the future...

The combat power of the abolished Eight Banners soldiers is so impressive that people can't help but laugh.

He didn't want to see the day when the Eight Banners fell, and Lu Qian was still counting on the Eight Banners to be used as a knife to create a big scene for him.In the future, the Eight Banners will be indispensable to manage the grasslands, open up Central Asia, and even go further west.If these people are useless, it will not be fun.

What Lu Qian wants to raise is a bulldog, not a Pekingese.

Therefore, how to maintain this combat power is indeed a key issue.It also includes the supplement of troops.

"He who has a strong physique and is good at bowing horses is the first." After all, the main force of the Eight Banners is cavalry.However, Lu Qian did not intend to set up a reserve force, and handed over the Khitan and other foreigners' martial arts assessment for entering the banner to the Ministry of War.As for how to deal with the extinct people among the banner people, it should follow the customs of the grassland people.

Another one, how the strong men in the banners become banner soldiers is the business of each banner.It's just that when the banner is really sparsely populated, the banner owners of each banner also have the right to write to the Ministry of War to recruit bannermen.

With a small population, does that mean that the combat effectiveness is reduced?This is closely related to the interests and merits of the banner owner.However, the total number of outsiders will also affect the banner owner's control over the banner.Therefore, the decision-making power is in their own hands.

Therefore, the issue of the decline in the combat power of each banner is something that the banner owners have to consider. Their combat power is closely related to their gains. If they want to live richly, they can only make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.If the combat power keeps decreasing, they will naturally be unable to make meritorious deeds, and no one else can blame them for starving to death.

In short, the Eight Banners are a sharp knife in Lu Qian's hand.

All the civil and military personnel on the field were still digesting Lu Qian's words. It must be said that King Lu's big move was very thoughtful.Judging from the current situation, this master's plan is obviously preparing for the future, and it is not bad at present.
