Chapter 50 Expedition (Part 1)
There are rewards for merits, punishments for mistakes, and pensions for death and injury.
Whether it is Xianbei or Han, or Gaoche, they are treated equally, and are equally treated.
Never distinguish between races, and prefer one to the other.
If you violate this oath, God will be disgusted with it!
There was a craze below, and all the soldiers were confused. What was going on?
The emperor vowed in public that he would treat the Han people equally and the Xianbei people?
Xianbei soldiers were in an uproar. You should know that marching and fighting have always been the patents of the Xianbei people. The Han people were only responsible for guarding the border and farming.
The Han people were also surprised that the Gao family royal family had always had serious Xianbei plots, and they knew this.
Today the emperor vowed to treat the Xianbei and the Han equally?
Before they could react, Gao Wei threw another bombshell:
"From today, the Great Qi will recruit Han people to join the army and be selected with the Xianbei warriors. After passing the assessment, you can enter the army. All treatments will be shorter than Xianbei!"
"Everyone who joins the army, the old and young people in the family will be free from slavery!"
"Those who join the army will be exempted from taxes at home. Those who are unfortunately killed or disabled during the war will be given pensions, with 20 acres of land, 2 taels of silver, and 3 pieces of silk!"
"A family with soldiers going to war at home will be given priority protection by local counties and counties. Anyone who comes to the door to invade the soldiers' families will be immediately killed and unpardoned!"
"As long as you are soldiers for a day, your wife's family will be young, I will support you!"
The whole court was in an uproar, and the 40,000 people below seemed to be boiling. The majesty that the square formation was shaped like a mountain was swept away by Gao Wei's words!
This is not only the Han people, but even the Xianbei soldiers were moved. To be honest, they had never heard of such generous pensions and treatment.
If the military was not well treated, would they still be thugs for honorary officials?
Now no one is worried about the pride of the Xianbei people in their hearts anymore. Everyone looks at the emperor on the high platform. At this moment, Gao Wei is even more majestic than the left prime minister in their minds.
The Han soldiers were also very excited. Since the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they have widely selected Xianbei soldiers, and the Han soldiers have no way to advance. They are seeking fame immediately, who doesn’t know? But from the beginning, they were destined to be out of military merit because of the identity of the Han people. Because the upper class of the army is all Xianbei, the Han people have no way to make a comeback. Now it is different. The Han people can also fight on the battlefield to gain fame and fortune!
Not to mention, they were just private soldiers raised by noble families and guarding the house. They had to spend their lives as slaves and servants, but they did not expect that they would have such an opportunity!
Now they no longer envy those who were left behind by the aristocratic family. One is a slave and the other is a military master. The treatment may not be much better, nor is it more comfortable than the aristocratic family, but their reputation is one heaven and one earth!
They can also make contributions on the battlefield and shine their families!
Such good treatment and such high pensions can be said to have never dreamed of it, let alone the emperor's words and words, and the whole family of those who joined the army was separated from slavery.
This means that they no longer have to follow the aristocratic family as slaves and servants!
People are like this. If you don’t plan for yourself, you must plan for your descendants, right?
They themselves are willing to be dead soldiers in the aristocratic families because they are family servants and private soldiers trained by the aristocratic families since childhood. But are they willing their children to be slaves as they follow them?
If there is a glimmer of hope, no many people will be willing to be servants, and they will always find a way for their descendants!
The children of aristocratic families in the court changed slightly. They helped Gao Wei because Gao Wei opened the quota for the Hebei families to fill the gap, allowing more outstanding children of aristocratic families to enter the official career. In the past, when nobles controlled the court, the aristocratic families did not have much opportunity, so the aristocratic families repaid, donated a large amount of money, grain and wealth, and also took half of the private army in the clan to call the emperor.
In their opinion, this is a very good deal.
When children in the family enter the court and make some achievements, they will not only greatly enhance the family status, but also expand the influence of the aristocratic family.
Money, grain and wealth will be gone, and fame and long-term interests are what they most value.
Moreover, those private soldiers, their contracts for selling their bodies and their contracts for selling their families, are they still in their hands. After all, aren’t they from the aristocratic family?
As a result, the emperor gave them this trick, and the whole family was separated from slavery.
This means that these private soldiers who sold their bodies to them and their families have nothing to do with them since then!
They can no longer call these people, nor can they use their families to control them, which directly cut off a huge piece of meat from the aristocratic family!
And you can't use any small means, threats and coercion, the emperor just said that those who invade the soldiers' families will be executed immediately!
The aristocratic family can indeed let the people below do it, but as long as the prefectures and counties intervene and the court pays attention, they are not afraid, but they will also make them slutty.
If they were still their own private soldiers, then the emperor would have no choice but to deal with the aristocratic family, but now these soldiers belong to the court in name.
The emperor gave them whatever preferential treatment he wanted, including getting rid of slaves, and they had no choice.
Those more than 10,000 private soldiers still have to be given up...
They gritted their teeth secretly, even if they were unwilling to accept it, they could do nothing.
This is the most annoying thing in this world. If you want to take advantage of the loophole, he locked the door and closed the window, and even blocked the chimney for you!
Could it be that you still have to drill into the cracks in the wall?
The emperor's three tricks are impeccable.
In this way, these private soldiers want to return to the aristocratic family and say there is a ghost!
Gao Wei raised his hand, and the noise of the hall and the boiling voices below gradually calmed down.
Hundreds of brocade-clad men came up with dozens of large boxes.
Gao Wei signaled Liu Taozhi to open it.
Liu Taozhi drew a knife, cut off the chain with one knife, poured out the things in the box, and filled the box with gold and jade!
The 40,000 soldiers below inhale and stare at the shiny treasures on the platform with wide eyes.
If Hu Changren was here, he would definitely think these babies looked familiar.
"Pour all of it!"
The brocaded soldiers poured their treasures into boxes of treasures onto the copper coin platform, and the copper coins and silver jewelry were like a hill.
At this moment, the needles fell in the schoolyard could be heard, and even the fly could be heard clearly when it flies passed by.
Everyone was blinded by this wealth, and their hearts seemed to be suddenly grabbed.
Gao Wei pointed to the Huang Chengcheng property beside him, "These are the rewards for your return. As long as you make military achievements, all of these - all of them are yours!"
There was no response, and the forty thousand men were shocked.
When Gao Wei was a little embarrassed just now, his father-in-law Hu Luguang stood up with great thoughtfulness to rescue the situation and stared at him:
"A bunch of idiots, why don't you thank me now!"
Qi Lianmeng took the lead with a wink and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!! Long live!! Long live!!!..."
The steel ocean below made a shout like a landslide and tsunami.
The sound shook Yecheng, and the mountains and rivers changed color.
Chapter completed!
