Chapter 790
For this recruitment of monks and Taoists, it will not only effectively provide a large amount of labor for the field trip next year, but also allow Chongfusi to more effectively control local temples.
Religious forces outside the court are much stronger than those in Jiangnan and Shu, and even local prefectures and counties have to rely on temples to maintain their rule.
Through Chongfu Department and the 11 Tang Dynasty governments, it is planned to recruit 4,000 people. Next year, the three prefectures of Jiangning, Jiangxi and southern Fujian will also cooperate to conduct large-scale inspections of households, local inspections, imperial guards, and military troops, so as to truly merge the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Li Jia was looking forward to it very much. He wanted to know how many people the Southern Tang Dynasty had. This was related to the potential for war.
After leaving the capital for several months, in the chaotic times, only the army was the most reliable. Li Jia could not relax easily. After the Qiu Tax was put into the treasury, he immediately brought a lot of wine, meat, cloth, and money to send the emperor's military condolences before the New Year.
In addition, Li Jia also brought a new military uniform and used as the autumn clothes of the imperial guards, and was preparing to personally distribute them to the imperial guards' hands to keep warm.
There are about 80,000 imperial guards stationed near Changsha City, which seems to be very small, but in fact they are completely enough to protect the capital.
After all, there are tens of thousands of troops in Jingnan Prefecture in the north, and the Yuezhou Guards with tens of thousands of people in Yuezhou, and on the Yangtze River. There are also Yangtze River Navy cruisers and escorts, which can be said to be both water and land, except for the sky.
Of course, if you are attacked by the sky at this time, it will definitely be that the novel will be transformed from history to fantasy, which is unscientific.
Among the 80,000 imperial guards, Taiban came from Lingnan. They were mixed with many Zhou Xingfeng's Chu army, Huainan army, some Shu army, and Southern Tang army. After months of training in the camp, they have been completely integrated and become the foundation for the emperor's rule.
In this era of bad luck, Li Jia really couldn't think of anyone who could be more generous than himself, even Zhao Kuangyin could not do it. Where is the Tang Dynasty rich in the Song Dynasty?
For example, the autumn clothes of this equipment are the result of careful cultivation for several years - cotton coats.
Each piece of cotton coat is added with several kilograms of cotton. Although it is still a little thin, it is already perfect for the weather in Hunan.
The matching items include cotton shoes and gloves, which have been used to change these 80,000 people, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cotton have been spent to store the entire Shaofu for a year.
Compared with Yongbu, although it is not as good as keeping warm, it is better because it is cheaper. The cost is only tens of thousands of stagnant and more than thirty per kilogram of cotton, which is very popular.
Li Jia is also preparing to take this opportunity to start from the army. Just like popularizing soybean oil and money tickets, the benefits to the people of popularizing cotton will definitely make the severe cold in winter weaken the number of people and save a lot of people.
It will even become an additional income for the people. After all, cotton is not picky about the land and is suitable for the hot weather in the south. As a cash crop, it is extremely suitable.
According to Shaofu's estimates, cotton will become the third largest economic business after salt and sugar making, and it is also a flagship product.
To some extent, the emperor's travel has a special deterrent effect, allowing the people to witness the power of heaven and make it easier for centripetal force to form.
People will not have a good impression of someone for no reason, even if they promote it from time to time, the most basic thing is contact.
Therefore, when the emperor left the palace, the powerful team had only a part of the guarding role. The greater role was to promote the emperor's majesty and imprint it deeply in his mind.
The emperor's "Da Jialuo Book" consists of front and rear parts such as guide, guide, car driving, rear advocacy, and rear guard troops.
The guide is the pilot guard of the etiquette and guard, which is the vanguard of the "Da Jialuo Book".
The "Qingyou Team" composed of two teams of cavalry and infantry teams is to clear the road to ensure the smooth travel of the emperor behind.
Following closely behind are 12 dragon flags held by soldiers, divided into two rows.
The Dragon Flag is a special convoy, including a guide car, a drum cart, a egret cart, a luan flag cart, a pixuan cart, etc. Each car is pulled by 4 horses, with 14 drivers and 1 craftsman. At this point, the guided driving ceremony ended, and then the guided driving ceremony was taken.
The guided ceremonial guard is different from the guided ceremonial guard. It mainly focuses on music and war. It is a huge propaganda band. There are two propaganda commanders in front of the band responsible for conducting and performing.
The band's instruments are mainly composed of various drums, including drums, big drums, chubs, stern drums, small drums, feather drums, etc., as well as percussion instruments such as flutes, flutes, squaws (also known as Hu Zi, etc., and Jin Zi and other percussion instruments. The entire band consists of more than 750 people.
Behind the guided ceremonial guard is the jade trotter that the emperor rides.
The Emperor's Carriage is the core of the entire guard of honor, so the guards are extremely strict. The Yulu is controlled by the Taipuqing, surrounded by 41 drivers in front and behind, and the left and right guards are protected by the generals (high-level generals) on both sides.
After the car drove, there was still a band of nearly 300 people, a guard of guards, and a flag team that set up flags, that is, a guard of honor.
The same legendary monsters are painted on the flags raised by each flag team, such as Evil-proof, Jade Horse, Yellow Dragon, Qilin, Dragon Horse, Triangle, Xuanwu, Taurus, etc.
Including the guards at the end, the entire army has almost two thousand people. This is a brief version. If it is a complete version, it will exceed ten thousand people.
All of his ceremonial wars established the supreme position of the emperor, his mighty majesty, and the majesty of the imperial guards forcing people's hearts, which left an indelible mark in their hearts.
The people of Yongcheng in Changsha were kneeling on both sides of the imperial road, crawling with their bodies, not daring to look up, listening to the soul-shaking vocal music, witnessing the powerful aura and brightly dressed imperial guards, many people could not control their trembling bodies, and for ordinary people, they would never forget them in their lifetime.
After a wave of presence, Li Jia nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the guard of honor to leave the city quickly. The speed was too slow, which delayed the normal business development of Changsha and caused a lot of money to lose.
Moreover, if the pigs slaughtered are delayed, they will smell bad.
With the emperor's ceremonial war, no general was a lump of wood that blocked the emperor's imperial guards. To a certain extent, Emperor Wen of Zhou went to the fine Liu camp and did not enter, which was the result of the monarchy's power being unrestrained and the nobles checks and balances, so the result of Zhou Yafu's later was destined.
Every time he entered the battalion, he was accompanied by the cheers of long live. The imperial guards were extremely satisfied with the emperor's behavior of showing his presence.
Not to mention wine, meat, etc., they were happy just by cloth, silver and money. In their hearts, the image of the emperor's generous and kind heart was confirmed again.
