Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Yuan looked at Li Xiaogong and said: "You said that the Lingnan Army alone will reward [-] Qingtian?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "Not only that, it will cost [-] yuan to come down! Among them, all the soldiers who have been transferred away have military exploits, and they can reward soldiers with more than five hundred acres!"

Li Yuan was also silent now.

There is a lot of land in Guanzhong, plus the crazy mergers of the major families, plus years of defeats, land rewards for military exploits, the land in Guanzhong is not enough for just six years.

Historically, in the late Zhenguan period, the Tang army gradually ran out of land to reward. These Guanzhong soldiers were no longer keen on fighting. During the Li Zhi Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of Li Tang's army dropped very badly. In foreign wars, the outcome was mixed. Lost, lost the momentum of sweeping the world and invincibility at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Do you want to change the military system?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible, if so, it will definitely repeat the mistakes of Daqin~"

In the unification war, the Qin army was also victorious in every battle, defeating the heroes of the six countries.Because at that time, the military merits of the Qin Dynasty were still there, but after the unification war, especially in the later period of the unification war, the Yan State suddenly became impotent, so the Qin Dynasty government could not spend enough land to honor the military merits, so the soldiers At first glance, fuck it, fighting to the death and fighting, even the rewards are gone, what a fart.

Therefore, the rebellious army with hoes and sticks began to beat the Qin army to lose the city and land, and was defeated.

The system is the root of combat power guarantee.

The decline of the Tang Dynasty was the end of the military system of the Tang Dynasty.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty was also directly related to the inability of its guards to fight. Soldiers who are hungry cannot fight a tough battle.

There is a direct relationship between land and military merit.

A government that breaks promises and soldiers will definitely lose the support of soldiers!

Li Jiancheng directly copied Chen Ying's model in the Western Regions, which can solve this problem very well.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Since ancient times, politics has nothing to do with ordinary soldiers. Ordinary soldiers can grit their teeth and insist on fighting hungry, and they can endure pain, but they can't bear it. The country they are loyal to can't even satisfy their families.

Although Guanzhong is rich, it cannot support 50 soldiers.When this question broke out, Li Yuan also felt a little embarrassed.It is not that the Tang Dynasty has never lost battles, nor is it victorious in all battles. However, because of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers obtained a way to be promoted, so whether it is for promotion and wealth, or for the glory of the family, Anyway, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong responded to the call of the imperial court and went out to fight again and again.

Now, Guanzhong has no land that can reward meritorious soldiers, so this problem is even bigger.Without rewards, is there anyone willing to join the army and fight?

Guanzhong used to be the foundation of the Qin and Han Dynasties. In the Qin Dynasty, it was precisely because the imperial court drained the patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers for the Great Qin. They believed that as long as the wars between the princes of the Warring States period ended, a peaceful and prosperous age would come.As a result, the Six Kingdoms perished, and the soldiers of the Qin Army did not get the peaceful life they wanted. The collapse of the military title system of the Qin Dynasty turned into the last public servants walking everywhere, and there were as many doctors as dogs. Liu Bang hit Guanzhong and promised not to hurt Their relatives, the generals of the Qin army turned against each other.

Li Yuan's expression became terrified, and he wanted to refute, but thinking about what Li Jiancheng said was true, he really didn't know how to refute.Yes, once the Tang Dynasty cannot provide the land and money to reward the soldiers, it will immediately lose people's hearts. A country can't even let the army and the people have enough to eat. How can it be supported by the people?Isn't it a joke to rely on a group of beggar-like soldiers to defend the country?

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and said solemnly, "How did Chen Ying do it in the Western Regions?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Chen Ying has reclaimed nearly 500 million mu of military land in the Western Regions in the past two years, and set aside 6000 million mu of grassland for feeding army horses. An ordinary soldier owns [-] mu of official land, five Ten acres of small fields and two hundred acres of pastures, if the soldiers don’t have the time to take care of those properties, the local government will naturally help to manage them, and the soldiers themselves only need to collect six cents of the income.”

Li Yuan asked in surprise: "Will the soldiers want to make their homes in the wild area of ​​the Western Regions?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "If you are a son of a good family in Guanzhong, you will naturally not be willing to settle down in the Western Regions. However, under the Anxi Army, more than two-thirds are criminal soldiers from Hebei. They followed Dou Jiande because they couldn't survive. Taking the risk, now that Chen Ying gave them the land and let them have their own land, how could they complain? What's more, although the land in the Western Regions is not as rich as in Guanzhong, it is not a problem to earn five per mu. They alone own 150 mu of land. , and two hundred acres of grassland, the income is not worse than Guanzhong, so they are also willing to settle in the Western Regions!"

Naturally, Li Yuan is not stupid. When the soldiers from Hebei are transferred to the Western Regions, the land in Hebei will be vacated. There are more than [-] young and strong, that is, [-] families. soil of.

As the emperor, Li Yuan immediately thought of another crucial question: "How can we ensure that these soldiers are loyal to the court?"

Li Jiancheng said: "What Chen Ying means is to continue to develop. The Tang Dynasty has maintained continuous expansion. The establishment of the Anxi Protectorate is the first step. In the future, the Annan Protectorate can also be established and send people through the Indochina Peninsula. Chen Ying said , in the former Linli country, there was a kind of rice that could be ripened three times a year, and one mu of land could harvest more than three stones, and three ripening would yield ten stones per mu. , set up tens of millions of acres of land, and the Tang Dynasty will have no worries about food shortages!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Weak branches and strong stems are the national policy formulated by the Tang Dynasty. They must not be changed easily. They must be stationed in Guanzhong. The army is absolutely superior. Chen Ying is the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Pingyang is my daughter. He and the Pingyang couple The two of them can naturally guarantee the stability of the Western Regions, if there is another person, will the Western Regions still belong to the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Father, the land in Guanzhong is limited. This is an unsolvable problem. Now Datang has more than 50 elite troops, and Guanzhong can support 20 troops and nearly [-] horses." War horse?"

Li Yuan pondered: "At this time, it involves the country, so wait and see, don't rush to make a decision for now!"

Li Jiancheng wanted to persuade Li Yuan again, but found that Li Xiaogong winked at him.

Li Xiaogong said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about Lin Ludao mentioned by Liang Guogong. Lin Lu's savages have always been lazy, but they have never worried about food shortages. Why don't you let me go to Lin Lu to find this kind of food?" Rice, see if it can be planted in Lingnan, if it can be planted in Lingnan, my Tang Dynasty can also collect tens of millions of grains every year!"

Li Yuan said: "That's fine!"

However, Li Yuan had forgotten about Li Jiancheng's private formation of the Andong Protectorate, and acquiesced that Li Shiji would leave the town of Andong as the first chief of the Andong Protectorate.

……

The carriage stopped outside Gao Shilian's gate, Changsun Wugou led Li Chengqian with one hand, walked up the steps in front of the gate with a smile.

Gao Shilian came out from the gate with someone, and hugged Li Chengqian involuntarily.

Gao Shilian said with a smile: "Don't tell me in advance when you come, so I can pick up your mother and child."

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled softly and said: "Uncle's house is not far away, we have hands and feet, one big and one small, why bother you to pick them up!"

While talking, Changsun Wugou patted his son's little head: "Is that right, Chengqian?"

Li Chengqian chattered with a smile: "Go by yourself, go by yourself... eat meat... eat meat!"

Gao Shilian had no choice but to let go of Li Chengqian, handed it over to the servant behind him, then turned to look at the mischievous smile on Changsun Wugou's face, and couldn't help but scold him.

Gao Shilian hated iron and steel and said: "You are also a mother, why are you still a child at heart, King Qin is now the pillar of the country, you have to look like a princess..."

The eldest grandson Wugou looked tired and lazy, and said innocently: "I'm not doing well, I didn't cry or make a fuss."

Gao Shilian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You, luckily married a good man."

Changsun Jiluo smiled slightly.

Gao Shilian did not hide the joy in his heart, and said: "I don't know what your majesty is...how...King Qin? Let's go in and say...

Changsun Wugou followed Gao Shilian's steps towards the gate and paused for a moment, the agility on his face disappeared, although he was still smiling, his eyes were completely cold.The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Uncle is from the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty. I don't know if you still remember the famous Lanling County King of our Gao family back then?"

Gao Shilian's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and his steps stopped abruptly.

The eldest grandson Wugou passed Gao Shilian, walked up the last step, turned around, looked down at Gao Shilian with a cold and indifferent smile.

Gao Shilian asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

The eldest grandson Wugou shook his head and said, "It doesn't mean anything, but I would like to ask Uncle, in our Tang Dynasty now, is King Qin like King Lanling or Consort Chen like King Lanling?"

Gao Shilian said dumbfoundedly: "King Qin is not as good-looking as King Lanling!"

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Chen Concubine is prettier than King Lanling!"

Gao Shilian said, "You mean..."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Uncle is the governor of Yongzhou, Your Majesty should now be conferred the title of Consort Chen. With the merits of Consort Chen, he should have been proclaimed king long ago!"

Gao Shilian's face changed slightly: "This...isn't very good!"
