Chapter 122: You have to listen to the sound
Compared with Chen Deng and other civil officials after the arrival of the emperor, generals such as Lu Bu and Gao Shun and the soldiers below looked different.
They couldn't sleep either, but they were more excited. Throughout the night, they were inquiring about the situation of farmland in Nanyang.
When they heard that the land in military camps would be free from labor and would be divided according to the head of the land, and the most important thing was that they would not have to pay the grain tax, they would want to immediately throw down their weapons to go farming.
As for the middle-level officers, most of them were from landlords and powerful people. To be honest, they were quite happy. They were not as angry as Liu Xie imagined, and they wanted to rise up against him.
You should know that the system of government troops in the Sui and Tang dynasties was a kind of family called generals and called Guanlong military aristocratic group.
Liu Xie made a mistake. Not all landlords and powerful people would oppose his strategy of farming. The civil settlements do indeed harm the interests of the landlord class, but the military settlements may not be the case.
After all, those who can become powerful must not be because they have money to buy land. Most powerful people are powerful but because they can be born and united.
In a town, there are 20,000 households. If 10,000 of them have the surname Li, the education of these surnames Li is particularly good. Each generation has a prestigious head of the family, so naturally they are powerful. If the other ten thousand households do not have the surname Li, they will be damned. Gradually, they will become powerful?
The Li Dian family is in a similar situation, and they are a local tyrant.
Military garrisons are divided into land according to people's heads. You can't let me, the whole family, separate the garrisons. To put it bluntly, we still have to divide them together. If there are 5,000 soldiers in this garrison, 3,000 of them are all surnamed Li, how dare you find a Wang as a lieutenant?
If the Li surnamed was the lieutenant for generations, it would take a few years for the 5,000 people in this village would naturally become the Li family army.
This is also the reason why Li Dian was so happy that he wanted to move the entire Li family to Nanyang. The men in their family were all fierce and eager to make achievements on the battlefield to achieve class leap. It was much easier to stand out in this kind of government military model than under the original system of recommendation.
Although we have to bring our own military rations in war, the income has been greatly reduced, but this social status has changed. Money and food are nothing in the face of power.
Therefore, in ancient times, being able to live and unite was the core competitiveness of the family. (Refer to some villages with tens of thousands of people in southern my country, and ancient society would only be more united than modern society)
Of course, for most ordinary tyrants who only want to build fortresses to protect themselves, rely on their large population, have many tenants, and refuse to pay taxes for the court and also refuse to go to military service and corvee service, they can only vote for their people.
Then this is indeed throwing their roots.
But the problem is that this kind of powerful people is generally called clan thieves, and this is originally the target of severe crackdown. If one family is missing, one will be the only one. Even if you don’t have land reform, they will not be good people.
You said you rebel, you have the courage and ability to rebel, and you will be a mess!
Therefore, there are indeed many middle-level generals under Lu Bu's command, who are from local tyrants, but they are happy about Liu Xie's military strategy.
As for those Bingzhou soldiers and Yanzhou soldiers, they didn’t have any land left. When they heard that they were dividing their land while they were plowing in spring, they immediately became so beautiful.
As for the upper-level generals, they were also very happy. According to the Nanyang military law, they were likely to be able to become the Martial Guard Central Committee in the future.
Only Lu Bu himself is not very comfortable.
After all the soldiers were stationed, the actual role of his surrendered general was reduced sharply. Now these soldiers are still grateful for their kindness, but if they station the fields in the future, the lieutenants below are the real parents of the soldiers who are stationed in the fields, and the generals above are the direct leaders.
As for the General Zhonglang and the Chief General, to put it bluntly, there is no need for any prestige. If he was Lu Bu, no one could still command the troops.
Wouldn't this have destroyed his military power?
Although he saved his life, the emperor would definitely treat him well for his great achievements in killing Dong Zhuo, at least he was still Wen Hou.
But as Lu Bu, who had at least passed the political IQ, soon became worried about the future again. The tiger without military power would be inferior to a cat.
Look at the three giants in the court, Cao Cao, needless to say, they all dream about Lingchi himself and Liu Bei, probably not much better than Cao Cao, Yang Biao, he helped Wang Yun to confront him back then.
How can I live my life in the future?
I, the flying general, Lu Bu, can only rely on the little affection that killed Dong Zhuo and rely on my title to survive in the future?
But the problem is that he is Wenhou. The place in Wen County is almost the Sima family. Are you crazy? Going to find Sima Yi to collect taxes? Now he is a celebrity around the emperor, named Henan Yin, and he has always used it as a master.
Thinking of this, not only is the power worrying, but even the meal tickets for the rest of your life are not settled.
Lu Bu was so depressed that he even started drinking a lot of wine in the middle of the night.
As a result, Chen Gong took the initiative to find him after drinking halfway.
"Public station?"
Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "Lord, are you worried about how hard it is to gain a foothold in the court in the future?"
When Lu Bu heard that Chen Gong was willing to call him lord, he was immediately happy and was filled with joy. The filth between the two of them was naturally left behind.
Although Chen Gong was suspected to be the commander of Hao Meng's mutiny, since everyone has surrendered to the court and the situation is quite similar, Lu Bu naturally will not care about the past.
You should know that Chen Gong offended Cao Cao even more. As his planner, he could also be described as the word "death hatred" as Liu Bei. Moreover, he was a native of Yanzhou, unlike himself who had Bingzhou people who could rely on. Yu Jin and Li Dian, the Yanzhou people in the hands of the emperor, thought that they wanted to kill him, and they had never had the merits of killing Dong Zhuo to protect him.
He is much worse than himself.
"Why did Gongda teach me?"
"The lord doesn't need to worry. You have the merit of killing Dong thief. Don't you see Duan Ying and Zhang Yang, you have no soldiers and power, but you can still be the Nine Ministers and the Supreme Duke respectively with your past achievements. Of course, you just don't have any real power, but it's always okay to enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of your life."
"Duan Ying and Zhang Yang both surrendered voluntarily, but I surrendered under the siege of the army. Is this the same?"
"Lord, if you are unwilling to be a high-ranking official who only has respect for his status but has no real power from now on, there is indeed a way to go, but this way is not easy to go."
“What road?”
"Do you still remember what the emperor said to Chen Deng today outside the city?"
"This... the emperor said that he would carry out military farming along the banks of the river from Pengcheng to Xiapi."
"Lord, lord, why do you only remember the first half, but not the second half? I heard that the emperor always acts in a profound and profound way. If you want to be valued by the emperor, you have to listen to the voice and understand it!"
