"Your Majesty, the Wannian New Dike near Kaifeng Mansion is still in the hands of the gold thieves. What if the gold thieves drain the Yellow River during the exam and flood Kaifeng Mansion?"
Chen Ji, the Privy Councilor, immediately raised objections!
He is Yuanshu, and it is his responsibility!
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Let's go to Kaifeng Mansion by boat! Didn't Wang Yuan write a memorial a few days ago, saying that there are many ships in Xingyang, Biankou, and Heyin areas, and there are many boatmen who have nothing to do and nowhere to go. ..... Just let Li Bao, the navy chief, collect all the people and boats, so that we won’t be afraid of the flood."
"Your Majesty," Tongzhi Privy Councilor Du Chong, who was a "water conservancy expert," immediately reminded, "Kaifeng Mansion is less than a few miles away from the Yellow River Dam. When the water rushes over, there will be landslides... Even if there is a boat, It will also be washed over by the flood."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "I have a way... There is a Qingcheng Palace outside Kaifeng Prefecture, which is located just to the south of the city. There is Kaifeng Prefecture's city wall to the north to block water, and the walls of the palace city were destroyed in the seventh year of Xuanhe. Li Gang and others mobilized the people to heighten and reinforce it, which is enough to withstand floods. The scholars can take exams in Qingcheng Palace, and at the same time, they have prepared ships, so they will not be afraid of gold thieves."
"Your Majesty," Liu Yan, a member of the Privy Council who signed the letter, said, "If the gold thieves hear that Your Majesty has entered Kaifeng Mansion, they will definitely send a large number of troops to attack... Even if they don't dig the Yellow River, they can break through Kaifeng Mansion City!"
Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "In the past, there were many people in Kaifeng Prefecture, but not many people who dared to fight, so it was difficult to hold on. But now Kaifeng Prefecture is an empty city. I don't need to send troops to defend the big city. I only need to defend the four small cities around Kaifeng Prefecture. Then we can deal with the gold thieves in the area of Kaifeng Mansion... And by fighting the gold thieves and Kaifeng Mansion, we can give Shaanxi, western Beijing, Hedong and other places a chance to breathe and rectify."
As he spoke, Zhao Kai's brows were already knitted, "What is the prospect of the Guanzhong land inspection? How much land can be harvested? How many soldiers can be deployed?"
The land inspection is now jointly responsible for the Military Office and the Ministry of Household Affairs, so this question must be answered by the bosses of the East and West Prefectures.
"Your Majesty," Yuanshu Chen recorded, "there will be no officials in the inspection areas along the five border roads in Shaanxi...but we can raise 200,000 useful people, and we can set up military mansions on the five roads." , Zhechong Mansion, for the use of the country.
As for the land inspection of Yongxing Military Road... it is possible to detect some hidden land and occupied official land, but the number will not exceed 2 million acres, which can be allocated to Yuan Congxun's official land, even if If you are rich, it won't be too much. "
Inspecting Qingtian is actually a tough job!
Not to mention Zhao Kai, Liu Yu, who was as powerful as a tiger in history, did not dare to offend the interests of the Beifu soldiers when he was engaged in the "Earth Break" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, the Shaanxi land inspection by the Chang'an court was not so much a land inspection as a clear military obligation - Zhao Kai's court recognized the possession of the land by the generals of the Western Army, the children of Yingwu, the archers of Yingtian, and some powerful men in exchange for their possession of the land. military service, and organized them into the Fifth Route Army Mansion and the Zhechong Mansion below to strengthen management.
According to the method discussed by the two government ministers and Zhao Kai, during the process of inspecting the land, the generals and officers of the Western Army will also be awarded corresponding honors, but the land will not be awarded. Instead, the policy of "doubling the shade of land" will be adopted. Replace the land grant.
In addition, these lands that are registered as Fubing Yintian (that is, tax-free land) will be registered and directly linked to Fubing households, and transfer, division, and mortgage are strictly controlled. If the household is really unable to bear the military service, it is not willing to do so. Only by recruiting a son-in-law or adopting a step-son to serve in the service can the entire land be transferred to a household willing to serve after obtaining the consent of the Zhechong government. The status of the civilian household will be immediately converted into a military household.
In other words, these Fubing households that own Fubing Yintian are hereditary military households - Tiance Fubing who originally belonged to Zhao Kai can also buy land and convert it into Fubing Yintian (this has a quota) ), gaining hereditary status.
Of course, the current hereditary soldiers cannot inherit the titles of their fathers. They can only start from the beginning of utility and fight again... unless their father can save the title.
The inspection of Qingtian in Shaanxi has just begun, but because there are many generals from the Western Army in Zhao Kai's core group, it is easy for them to come forward to find out the situation.
So Chen Ji already knows the general situation... After the inspection and clearing of the land, there will be more than 200,000 Shaanxi soldiers (excluding Tiance soldiers) enrolled in the government! This number is not "person", but "household".
If you include the original Tiance Fubing, the Chang'an imperial court had as many as 300,000 Fubing households as its military base.
The military foundation seems to be strong!
However, there are still many Tiance Mansion soldiers who have not been assigned land, nor the ability to obtain Yintian... Therefore, Zhao Kai's military foundation is not yet solid.
Fortunately, Qian Gai gained a lot in Luoyang.
Lu Yihao, the Prime Minister of the East Prefecture, said: "Your Majesty, Qian Longtu and Wang Dacao recently reported that there are many crowned brothers in Luoyang who are willing to take over as officials!
In addition, there are many unclaimed wastelands in Henan Prefecture, Mengzhou, Huaizhou, Ruzhou, Dengzhou, Yingchang Prefecture, Xiangzhou, Suizhou and other places. If carefully counted, millions of acres can be obtained. Including the land obtained by Hedong, it is worth no more than 10 million acres...enough to be distributed to the Tiance Mansion soldiers. "
The reason why there are many "ownerless" lands in those places is that many of the lands belong to wealthy and powerful families in Kaifeng Prefecture. Some of these wealthy families in Kaifeng fled with Zhao Huan, and their land is naturally "ownerless".
The "millions" reported by Qian Gai and Wang Shu is a very conservative number. If a careful inventory is taken, it will definitely exceed 10 million acres!
In addition, there are even more "ownerless" lands near Kaifeng Mansion. It depends on whether Zhao Kai has the ability to take it!
In order to get more land, Zhao Kai can no longer stay in Chang'an. He has to go to Luoyang to take charge!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai nodded and said: "The Tiance mansions are my confidants!
Therefore, I want to set off eastward to Luoyang after August 15th and sit nearby to supervise the clearing of fields, inspection of land, and the distribution of fields and building a mansion!
When the division of land and government is completed, I can go to Kaifeng to preside over the imperial examination... At the same time, I will let the world see the manliness of my great Song Dynasty examiner! "
He looked at the stunned ministers present, smiled and said: "The imperial court does not need to move to Kaifeng with me, just stay in Luoyang... The mountains and rivers in Luoyang are protected by many things, which is enough for me to go out to fight for the world." Our base!"
A group of important ministers all frowned... This official family is so adventurous!
The man is quite courageous, but he wonders if he might accidentally fall into the hands of a gold thief?
...
"Stay behind! The front is already Guangwu Mountain in Mengzhou. Our knights who are opening the way have already seen the flags of the troops descending from Guangwu Mountain to set up camp... We are here!"
Several fast horses rushed back from the front and rushed to Zongze, who was standing on the edge of the Yellow River embankment in Tokyo. They reported repeatedly on the situation of the Song Army's camp at the foot of Guangwu Mountain ahead.
Guangwu Mountain is a dangerous place on the south bank of the Yellow River in Mengzhou. To the east are Biankou, Bianshui, Heyin, and Yingze, to the south is Xingyang, and to the west is Sishui... Look at these place names, If you look at Chinese history, you will know how important Guangwu Mountain is.
Therefore, part of the Song army that was defeated at the foot of Wannian Xindi that day ran west, all arrived here. There are probably tens of thousands of people!
Lu Zai, the transshipment officer on Jingxi Road, tried his best to raise some supplies for them. Wang Yuan, who was stationed in Huaizhou at that time, sent troops into the Hebei area of Mengzhou and set up a large camp on the bank of the Yellow River opposite Biankou, spreading flags widely and making a bluff. , finally stabilized people's hearts.
After that, part of the Song army stationed in Guangwu Mountain and its surrounding areas dispersed, and some went to Luoyang, but there were still some who had no way to go, so they stayed there. They were first led by Yu Wenxuzhong and Yao Gu. After these two went to Luoyang, they were led by Youwu doctor Ma Changyou and Yao Gu's subordinate Wang De.
After Yu Wenxuzhong went south with Yao Gu, Ma Changyou and Wang De surrendered to Zhao Kai again and still supervised the army in Guangwu Mountain. And now, Zongze arrived at Guangwu Mountain under the protection of General Wang Shan sent by Zhao Kai...
