Zhao Kai said a lot of confusing words, which made everyone who heard these words for the first time a little stunned.
As long as you win... everyone will get a reward? Do you still want to reward officials, money, and land?
But how many official titles did the Song Dynasty have to reward people? How much food and property do you, the Emperor of Chang'an, have in your pocket to distribute? As for land...how much official land does the imperial court have?
The pie looks pretty good, but the question is can it be eaten?
Zhao Kai seemed to see the big guy's doubts - in fact, even without looking, he knew that the people below were not that easy to fool.
Oh, it’s not a lie, Zhao Kai is telling the truth!
He sincerely wanted to change the "advanced" "composition distribution system" of the Song Dynasty and make it "regress" to the "military merit distribution system" of merit-based rewards. Because in his opinion, his opponent, the Kingdom of Jin, implemented a military merit distribution system among its population of two to three million people, thus maximizing their enthusiasm for fighting.
Considering the living environment that the Jurchen people have lived in for thousands of years, and the wars that this nation has endured in the past two or three decades, it is simply impossible to defeat the Jurchens who are still at their peak with a smaller military population. realistic.
The only feasible way is to continue to expand the size of the military population...that is, to establish more military mansions and Zhechong mansions, and to turn more farmers into military households.
If 300,000 households are not enough, then create 60 households, 900,000 households, or 1.2 million households!
Make as much as you need! Zhao Kai, who was a "sophomore" in high school, oh, he is now a "senior year in high school", only cares about the present and does not think about long-term peace and stability... If he can't go straight to Huanglong and sweep the grassland, the issue of long-term peace and security should be considered by Zhu Yuanzhang, no. The matter of Zhao Kai and his descendants.
So take care of "Yellow Dragon" and "Grassland" first, and then think about other things!
On the way from Guangwu Mountain, Zhao Kai was thinking about where to place the soldiers. Now the land and household registration in Shaanxi and Hedong have been cleared. But it seems that these two provinces were not major agricultural provinces in later generations... Henan next door to them was a major agricultural province!
A large agricultural province has a lot of land!
Moreover, the north, south, and south routes of Beijing were not places where military force was used in the Song Dynasty. There were no military families like the Generals of the Western Army and the Yingwu Family.
So Zhao Kai was prepared to show his displeasure with the landlords and wealthy landlords on North Jingxi Road and South Jingxi Road!
We need to make them hand over their land!
What? Resistance of the landlord class?
I’m not afraid!
Zhao Kai had long figured it out... No matter how fierce the Han literati and landlord class were, they could not be as fierce as the Jin soldiers, let alone the later Mongols.
Therefore, Zhao Kai is now determined to write a bad check to attract people. As long as he can defeat Wanyan Zonghan, he will also seize the land when he turns back. The working people who defeated Wanyan Zonghan will no longer be the original working people. It’s the newly minted samurai-doctor-landlord class!
All you need to do is have people count the land, make a title deed, and then distribute rewards based on merit to the Fu soldiers below, and let them take over with their respective Zhe Chong Fu - the Fu soldiers established by Zhao Kai and those in the early Tang Dynasty The government soldiers are different. They implement the system before the reform of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty. The government soldiers are not naturalized, but are under the jurisdiction of the military government and Zhechong government! And the soldiers and households in the same Zhechong Prefecture all live together in groups, which is not something that a group of village officials can fight against.
Zhao Kai's idea is good (perhaps "secondary"), but if he really wants to implement it, he can't do it alone. A good man needs three helpers, and a good man who is a bit "bad" needs help even more... Help him cheat!
Thinking of finding someone to help deceive him, Zhao Kai turned his attention to the strong man Niu Gao, and then asked with a smile: "What is this strong man's name? What is his current position?"
As soon as Niu Gao heard "strong man", he knew he was talking about himself... Although everyone here except Zhao Ding is quite strong, no one is as strong as Niu Gao!
"My minister Niugao is currently under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou's deputy military commander, Xiu Wulang."
What? Are you Niugao?
No wonder I couldn't find you despite searching... Why did you come to Henan?
And why are you so old? Aren't you Yue Fei's brother? How old is Yue Fei?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai couldn't help but look back at Yue Fei: Is that person your brother Niu Gao?
Of course Yue Fei doesn’t know Niu Gao!
Historically, Niu Gao only became Yue Fei's subordinate after three years in Shaoxing, and he was "bringing money to join". Before joining, he had already brought out a rebel army, as well as the Xidao envoys and the governors of Cai, Tang and Xin. The official position of an envoy. Therefore, after joining the group, his status was very high. He became the pacifier of the four states of Tang, Deng, Xiang, and Ying.
Since Yue Fei doesn't know Niu Gao, then Zhao Kai won't be polite... When conquering the world, there are never too many strong men!
So Zhao Kai took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to support Niu Gao, who was saluting him, and then took Niu Gao's big hand enthusiastically, "What a strong man! Are you willing to serve as a general in heaven?"
Niu Gao actually shook his head and said to Zhao Kai: "In the official family, I am from Lushan, Ruzhou. I was entrusted by the elders in my hometown to pull together a group of brothers to protect my homeland. Although I have become an official and soldier now, I still want to stay. Ruzhou defends its territory."
Oh, you are still a local snobbery! No problem... Zhao Kaixin said: You are my people, and your soldiers are of course my people too!
Zhao Kai smiled and asked: "Deputy Niu Qianjia, how many brothers do you have?"
"I have three thousand strong men, all of whom are local heroes from Ruzhou!"
A hero as good as the heroes of Liangshan!
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded heavily, "Deputy Niu Qianji, please make arrangements. I want to reason with your people!"
Reasonable?
Niu Gaoxin said: None of my brothers like to reason very much...
As soon as he hesitated, Dong Jingang, who was following Zhao Kai, urged him: "Deputy Niu Qianjia, if the officials ask you to make arrangements, just go ahead and make arrangements. We officials are the most reasonable!"
When Niu Gao looked at Dong Jingang, he was filled with murderous intent!
Look at Yue Fei with Dong Jingang...what a fierce young man!
Looking at the more than 3,000 cavalrymen who followed Zhao Kai, he finally believed that Zhao Kai was the most reasonable.
"I will go make arrangements immediately!" Niu Gao quickly received the order, turned around and returned to the camp to gather his three thousand heroes.
Zhao Kai watched him fly away, nodded, and said to his left and right, "It turns out there are good men in Ruzhou too!"
Zhao Ding, who was standing next to him, could only sigh secretly after hearing this... It turned out that the roll call outside Donghua Gate was the good man!
And now... don't mention it! Donghua Gate was demolished by Zongze’s people, and now there is no Donghua Gate to roll call!
Zhao Kai seemed to see Fatty Zhao Ding sighing, so he said to Zhao Ding: "Prefect Zhao, although you are a civil servant, you can still make meritorious deeds!"
Zhao Ding was a little frightened after hearing this, "But I am a civil servant and I don't know how to fight!"
"It doesn't matter... this time the gold thieves invaded our country, it was the rise and fall of the world. Every man is responsible, not to mention that you are a scholar-bureaucrat?" Zhao Kai said generously, "Now in our Song Dynasty, the country has no distinction between north and south. No one is old or young, no minister is civil or military, everyone has the responsibility to resist the enemy and defend the country!"
Zhao Kai paused for a moment and then said: "Prefect Zhao, Lieutenant Qu, you also bring some staff and soldiers to listen to my reasoning!" He looked at Zhao Ding and Fatty Zhao again, "Prefect Zhao will not dislike me. If you don’t have knowledge, you won’t be able to reason, right?”
"How dare you, how dare you, the official has won the top prize!"
In fact, what Zhao Kai won was not the number one scholar, but the Hui Yuan, which means the first place in the examination. When it came to the palace examination, Zhao Ji did not give the first place to his son because he was afraid of gossip. However, in the eyes of the world, Zhao Kai still has the talent of being the top scholar.
And now this Zhao Kai... of course feels that he is knowledgeable!
He was in the second grade of high school!
If I hadn't traveled through time, I would be preparing to take the college entrance examination now... I wonder what happened to my lost soul? Will the body be taken over by the soul of that nerd Zhao Kai? If that's the case, what kind of university can a nerd get into? Is it okay to take the exam to resume diplomatic relations with Beiqing?
Zhao Kai shook his head and walked quickly to the camp.
...
There are a lot of open spaces in the Rushui camp - all of them are prepared for storing food or parking.
Niu Gao asked someone to clear a "parking lot", then asked someone to build a wooden platform, put an armchair on the platform, and then asked his 3,000 heroes to sit around the wooden platform. After the arrangements were made, he personally asked Zhao Kai to give him a lecture... no, to be reasonable.
At this time, Zhao Kai had already settled down and washed up. When he saw Niu Gao coming to invite him, he changed into a moon-white narrow-sleeved robe, put on a futou, and led hundreds of knights with feather collars to follow. Zhao Kai , Quduan also brought more than a hundred people each to listen to the truth together.
When Zhao Kai arrived, a large open space was already occupied by Niu Gao's soldiers who were standing densely. These people all looked excited and curious... none of them had ever seen an official! Today, they can actually listen to the officials reasoning with them?
I don’t know what this official wants to say?
Is it to honor your parents? Or should we be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?
"The officials have arrived, bow and bow!"
Niu Gao's loud voice suddenly rang out.
His good brothers hurriedly bowed and saluted, shouting long live the mountain.
Zhao Kai stood tall and did not sit down, just looking at the dark soldiers below. These all need to be "persuaded". First, they must know who they are fighting for? What are you fighting for?
They have to know that it is they who need to fight and make meritorious deeds to change their destiny! They must understand that they are not only defending the Central Plains for the Song Dynasty, but also defending the Central Plains for themselves...because they will have a share of the land they protect!
And after these soldiers understand the truth of "who and why they fight," Zhao Kai will go back to explain the same truth to Minzhuang who is accompanying the army... He will not let these people go in vain. Those who are going to die must be allowed to go to the battlefield with full hope!
Only in this way can this group of armed forces, which is actually a ragtag group of soldiers, exert its greatest combat effectiveness!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai opened his throat and shouted: "Do you have a beautiful house in your home? Do you have land? Do you have inexhaustible money and food..."
