my wife is mulan

"A Han dares to kill us Xianbei people, brothers, surround this place for me!"

A sound of yelling kept coming out, from all the barracks

The soldiers running over with weapons gradually surrounded Bai Jinguang and his soldiers outside the hall, there were more than a thousand people.

"Array to defend!" Bai Jinguang roared, and nearly two hundred soldiers immediately formed a circular formation outside the lobby door to protect the lobby.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng came out of the lobby with Cao Jiao, Yuchi Yandong and some personal guards.

Zhao Junsheng stood on the steps of the door with a cold iron sword in his hand, looked at the surrounding soldiers, and shouted: "This general is the new Governor of Youzhou, General Pingbei, and Marquis of Yunzhong, Zhao Junsheng. What is the intention of Zhanwei here?"

Among the messy generals, someone shouted loudly: "Han boy, let go of General Xi quickly, brothers can let the past go, otherwise don't blame the knives and guns in your hands for not having eyes!"

"What? Do you want to kill this general zào fǎn? I will remind you that I will be the governor of Youzhou appointed by the emperor. Killing me is equivalent to zào fǎn. You still have wives, children, and clan members. If you want to take your My family is also dragged into this abyss of eternal doom, you just go ahead and kill me!"

The soldiers hesitated after hearing this. They had indeed received a lot of favors from Xiba in ordinary times, but they were more frightened by his desires and had to obey orders. They really dare not.

The soldiers looked at each other one by one, with deep concerns and fears revealed in their expressions.

The building general who was yelling in the crowd just now saw that the situation was not good. If he didn't speak, he might be stabilized by Zhao Junsheng. Kill them all, and then report to the court that they were beheaded by bandits on the way, no one will know!"

"Hahaha...you are really crazy. There are so many people here and more than 1000 mouths. Who can guarantee that the news will not leak out? Who dares?"

Chapter 448 Promulgating the New Deal to Gain the Heart of the People and the Army

The soldiers who had already been persuaded hesitated again after hearing this.

Zhao Junsheng immediately beckoned to the soldiers next to him, and a cavalryman stepped forward and handed over the bloody head of Xi Ba to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took Xi Ba's head and held it up, yelling: "Xi Ba has subdued the law! He usually forms cliques in the army for private interests and acts lawlessly, and today he despises this general. I will kill him according to the military law. If anyone refuses to accept it, he can do it." Sue the emperor! Today, only Xi Ba and his cronies will be held accountable, and no one else will be held accountable. Anyone who still listens to others' bewitching will be charged with treason!"

Seeing that Xi Ba had been killed and all the heads were here, the weapons in the hands of the generals were slowly lowered, the ferocity on the faces of the generals gradually disappeared, and everyone was dead. It is no longer necessary to do that zào fǎn thing at this time.

Several of Xi Ba's cronies who were in the crowd shouted again, "Brothers, think about the kindness that General Xi has shown us in ordinary times, we have to avenge him!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, "Come here, arrest these people who disturb the morale of the army!"

Cao Jiao, who had been observing for a long time, had already identified the candidate. He immediately rushed into the crowd with his soldiers and dragged out those who took the lead in making trouble. Watching these leaders being tied up and taken away.

Standing by the side, Yuchi Yandong was sweating profusely. He didn't expect Zhao Junsheng, a young young man, to be so courageous. He was fearless in the midst of thousands of troops, and he used strong tactics to put the chaos of the mutiny to rest. The bureau was suppressed.

Zhao Junsheng's majestic gaze swept across the faces of these soldiers and generals, and he shouted: "Come here, gather the generals with drums and trumpets and gather all the soldiers and horses! Bai Jinguang, take your law enforcement team and wait around the school grounds. After the sound of the three-way drum, those who still did not come to the school grounds, regardless of whether they were generals or soldiers, were all arrested, and the general went to the barracks to search one by one, and if caught, they were counted as one, and all were taken to the soldiers' station to wait for disposal!"

"Obey!" Bai Jinguang agreed loudly, and waved his hand: "Law enforcement team, follow me!"

At this time, the drummer at the door picked up the drum and began to beat the drum, "Boom, boom, boom..."

More than a dozen trumpeters raised their long horns and blew together: "Woo-woo-woo-"

Zhao Junsheng yelled at the soldiers who were still standing still: "Why are you still standing? Do you want to be dealt with by military law?"

The soldiers turned around and ran towards the school field with their weapons in hand.

Seeing the soldiers who wanted to kill the general zào fǎn leave one after another, Zhao Junsheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he was also sweating in his heart. He had never done such a thing before, it was too dangerous , if Xi Ba hadn't been killed in advance, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold his ground at all.

Cao Jiao, Yuchi Yandong and a group of personal guards were wiping the cold sweat off their brows, thinking about the scene just now, they still have lingering fears.

After the three drums sounded, Zhao Junsheng took Cao Jiao, Yuchi Yandong and others to the school grounds to count troops.

At this time, [-] people had gathered on the school grounds under the stage, but there were still many people who did not come to gather. Bai Jinguang led the law enforcement team and stopped dozens of soldiers who were late coming outside the school grounds. He ordered All these people were tied up and taken to the counting platform, and then they personally led people to search the barracks, and arrested all the soldiers who were sleeping late and gambling in the barracks.

"General Qi, my subordinates were ordered to arrest all those who still did not show up after the sound of the three-way drum, a total of 120 nine people, please deal with the general!"

Zhao Junsheng beckoned, and a soldier poked Xi Ba's head with a spear and stuck it on the side of the soldiers' platform.

"You have seen it. This is the head of Xi Ba, the son of Xi Jin, the king of Yicheng, who is a close friend of the current prince Xinxing. Beheaded by the military law, and those 120 soldiers who still did not come to assemble after the sound of the three-way drum, entered all battles and fought for [-], if they committed it again, beheaded! Bai Jinguang, you come to prison!"

"Yes, General!" Bai Jinguang agreed, and waved his hand, "Hit me!"

120 Nine offending soldiers were arrested

They were pressed down to the ground, and the thick military sticks hit them one after another, making a crackling sound, and the soldiers who were beaten screamed and wailed incessantly!The soldiers and generals on the school field were all heartbroken.

The thirty military sticks were beaten very quickly, and the backs and buttocks of these offending soldiers were bloody and their uniforms were torn.

"Come on, drag them down, and send someone to the military medical officer to treat them!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand.

These people were quickly carried down, and the nearly [-] soldiers on the school field felt sympathetic to each other, and they all knew that this new governor was going to be serious this time.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the soldiers and said loudly: "This general is different from other people. Favors and relationships don't work here. From my point of view, obeying military orders and executing them without compromise is a good soldier! Military orders Once the order is issued, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we must go forward bravely! Those who disobey military orders, fear the enemy, and retreat before the battle will be subject to military law!"

There had long been military officials who were proficient in Xianbei, Gaoche, and Dingling languages, translating Zhao Junsheng's words sentence by sentence to the soldiers and generals in the audience.

"Since the founding of the dynasty, the imperial court has never paid military salaries to soldiers, nor paid salaries to officials. It only provides ordnance, military uniforms, and food, and the captured and returned soldiers get their own income, but the soldiers do not fight every day. , Therefore, the soldiers all went to plunder the people in order to support their families, and the officials all went to embezzle and accept bribes in order to obtain money. There will be changes, so this change will start from Youzhou!"

[A correction is made here. In the early Northern Wei Dynasty, soldiers and generals in the army did not have military salaries. Neither the Xianbei nobles, court ministers, nor local officials had salaries. Looting the common people and redistribution, this situation continued until the period of Emperor Xiaowen and Wencheng Wenming, Empress Dowager Feng came to the court, and the title system was changed. Some ministers asked to increase the taxation of the common people and provide them with salaries, so the salary system replaced the class rewards. system! ]

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand and said loudly: "Starting today, a new military law will be added to the army. No one is allowed to plunder civilians or rape women. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded! In order for the soldiers to have money and food to support their families during the truce , Youzhou Governor’s Mansion will give all soldiers a one-time three-month military salary every quarter, and the military salary will be distributed in the form of money or cloth!"

"Pawns are paid [-] qian per month; soldiers are paid [-] qian per month; tooth masters are paid [-] qian per month; team leaders [hundred generals] are paid [-] qian per month; Building generals are paid [-] yuan a month for the army! Commanders in the army such as Shi, deputy generals, and Sima are paid [-] yuan for the army every month! In addition to the fixed salary for the soldiers every month, after winning a war The loot obtained can still be distributed!"

"In addition, officials at all levels in Youzhou have corresponding salaries every month, and they are also paid out once a quarter! If any corruption and bribery is found again, they will be severely punished!"

"From today onwards, farmers in Youzhou will be taxed in units of acres of land, merchants will be taxed based on the size of their caravans, the number of shops, and the amount of wealth. It is used to pay the salaries of officials and the salaries of soldiers in the army!"

"The payment of taxes starts from the general. All officials have to pay one-fifth of the salary as a tax. When the salary is issued, the tax that should be paid will be automatically deducted from the salary by the official who issued the salary!"

"Whenever a soldier is killed in battle, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion will give his immediate family members pensions, or land or money or cloth! If there are underage children in the family, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion will allocate the corresponding money to support them every month until they die. Until the children reach the age of ten!"

Many people know that the subordinates need to use big sticks and carrots, and this trick is effective at any time.

Although Zhao Junsheng strictly restrained the generals and enforced military discipline, it also gave them great benefits.The generals listened quietly to his decision after decision, and when he finished speaking, the generals' hostility towards him disappeared.

Zhao Jun made these decisions because of the need to increase taxes, although on the surface it has increased the burden on the common people.

burden, but in fact it lightened the burden on the common people, because it prohibited the Xianbei people from looting and plundering the common people of all ethnic groups.

Zhao Junsheng believed that the people of all ethnic groups in Youzhou would rather spend money to eliminate disasters than face the occasional robbery and murder by Xianbei soldiers. Once the news spreads, it will definitely attract the support of people in Youzhou.

"Yuchi Yandong!"

Following Zhao Junsheng's yell, Yuchi Yandong immediately stood up and clasped his fists when he heard it, and promised, "The end is here!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "You will preside over the drill. The drill should not be less than four hours a day. The food in the army will be changed from two meals a day to three meals a day. No matter it is windy or rainy, the sun is scorching, or it is freezing and snowy, there is no military order for no reason. Stop practicing!"

"Follow the order!"

After Yuchi Yandong agreed, he immediately ordered the soldiers to quickly fetch the horses, weapons, gong nu and arrows, and each of them took the building as a unit to train in cavalry archery and cavalry tactics.
