Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 248 Changes in Kansai!

"O sea...you are all water."

"Horse...you have four legs."

"Warriors of the Han army..." Enduring the pain of constipation, Liu Xie struggled for a long time, his face flushed, and finally thought of the next sentence: "You, you are mighty and majestic, flying in my heart, I wish to melt into you broad chest..."

After chanting this sentence, Liu Xie also gave up on imitating the boldness of Cao Mengde's drunken singing, put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, opened the curtain of the big tent, and let the golden silk shine on him On the body, the final affectionate ending: "I, love this era!"

No wonder Liu Xie was so out of tune. After Wenpin led three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to rescue Xuanyuan Mountain, Yuan Shu's nails in the entire Nanyang County area were completely removed.When the people of Nanyang heard about this, they rose up one after another, organized dozens of armed groups against Yuan Shu to attack Yuan Shu, expelled the officials and county officials appointed by Yuan Shu, echoed the Han Dynasty army, and vowed to return Nanyang County to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.

Such a situation is both reasonable and unexpected by Liu Xie. The situation is so good that it is almost unbelievable.

Of course, there will inevitably be those thieves who take advantage of the fire.But Liu Xie was not afraid of them making trouble at all, but was afraid that they would not make trouble.He was about to let Wenpin, a well-known general, be in charge of the law and order in Nanyang. The more violent the thieves were, the more reason Liu Xie kept Wenpin.

After all, among the generals of the Han army, only Wen Pin was a local. Liu Biao had nothing to say when he was appointed to take charge of this matter—or, why don’t you keep another local, Huang Zhong, in exchange?
"Long live the Han Dynasty! Long live the Northern Army!"

"Long live the Han Dynasty! Long live the Xiliang cavalry!"

As soon as he got out of the big tent, Liu Xie heard deafening shouts.And when his figure appeared before the eyes of all the soldiers of the Han family, all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the Han family! Long live your majesty!"

With a hint of restraint, Liu Xie waved at these soldiers very chicly.Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire barracks became even more enthusiastic.

Of course Liu Xie knew why.

At this time, it was the time to reward the soldiers after the Xuanyuan Mountain War.Who is not happy when they get money?Seeing the benefactor who distributed the money coming, who can not say hello with a smile?

In front of the barracks, there were bamboo slips. The warriors who participated in the battle stepped forward one by one, blushing and listening to the master book responsible for counting military merits.

"Liu Dazhuang, the fourth station in the third song of the Infantry Department of the Northern Army, kill four enemies!"

"Tunshi Baozhi, the second song of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Division, beheaded six enemies and one corps leader!"

"Chen Xiaoer, the infantry scout of the Northern Army, risked his life to inform the enemy's movements four times, and killed 13 enemies!"

Every time the marching master book reads a person, the companions in each village and song will shout hello with all their strength.This is a new game of the Han army. Of course, it also implies a trace of competition.

Looking at the excited and expectant expressions of the soldiers, Jia Xu twirled his beard and couldn't help but praise Liu Xie, saying, "The emperor of the Han Dynasty has such a good strategy, and he has earned the loyalty of the whole army... In the long run, the Han army The soldiers are afraid that everyone will endure hard battles and become the strongest army in the world."

Liu Xie smiled, didn't speak, just stared at Jia Xu with his eyes.But Jia Xu didn't take it seriously, and kept feeling that there were talented people from all over the world, and complained that his old bones might not be able to lead any coquettish.

Of course Liu Xie knew that Jia Xu had seen his intention to gradually reform the military system.In fact, Liu Xie and Xu Rong talked about the initial plan for military reform long before the Chang'an War.

In this era, the centripetal force of soldiers generally relied on the personal charm and ability of the generals to govern the army, but they did not have much sense of belonging to the entire court.At the same time, in the land of Huaxia, they are also affected by the region and blood ties, which in turn determine their loyalty and bravery to a certain extent.

Throughout the era of cold weapons in China, and even until the period of the Republic of China, although many shocking wars broke out in the civil strife among the Chinese people, there were very few real annihilation wars and hard battles that would never die, and most of them were defeat wars.

The soldiers in the rear learned that the front line was defeated, and before the enemy army came over, one of them screamed in panic, and then tens of thousands threw away their helmets and armor and dispersed.The main skill of being a soldier is not to charge and kill people in battle, but to watch all directions, listen to all directions, and run away with oil on the soles of your feet...

As a result, poor Comrade Fu Jian became the most famous unlucky guy, thus leaving behind the two well-known idioms of "the wind is jittery" and "every tree is a soldier".

It has to be said that we Chinese have a tradition of wisdom since ancient times.However, once this kind of intelligence is used on the battlefield, it will be a fatal flaw. For example, during the First Battle of Chang'an, the old soldiers who should have belonged to the Han army would turn to Li Jue when the situation was not good. , Guo Si rebels.

First of all, because they are very smart.Another reason is that they feel that in terms of origin and location, they are closer to Li Jue and Guo Si's Xiliang iron cavalry.

As the emperor of the day and a traveler, Liu Xie naturally did not want to become the second Fu Jian.Therefore, combining his scrappy knowledge of modern military and the advantages and disadvantages of all ancient military systems, he finally broke away from the chaotic power structure of the imperial court, and took advantage of the victory after the First World War in Hedong to take advantage of the trend to make the military system he had in mind Incentives, a small experiment was carried out.

In Liu Xie's view, an army without a sound guarantee and pension mechanism is completely a disabled person with a crippled leg.Although the feudal ritual system can affect the social atmosphere, it can never change human nature.Especially for those big soldiers in troubled times who don't even know a few words, the so-called duty of "serving the Han Dynasty and being loyal to the imperial court" of the scholar-officials is bullshit in their eyes.

There is no hatred for no reason, let alone love for no reason. Why do these soldiers have to pay for their lives for the ideals of your scholar-bureaucrats?And, is it still a dry compensation that doesn't even pay for the funeral?The soldiers are not stupid and wronged...

Therefore, Liu Xie took the lead in experimenting with the death compensation system for soldiers.Funeral expenses must be paid by the imperial court, and for the preferential treatment for the children of martyrs, what Liu Xie is currently planning to do is to give priority to the measure of recruiting the children of martyrs.Of course, the spiritual comfort will not be relaxed, and the subsequent substantive guarantees will increase with his gradual reform.

In addition, the basic system of rewards for meritorious deeds and punishment for demerits must be implemented.Moreover, it must be firmly held in the hands of the imperial court, and it can no longer be rewarded by the imperial court to individual generals as before, and then distributed by the generals to the soldiers under their command.

Such a careless and lazy approach, in Liu Xie's view, is simply a slow suicide by the court.If things go on like this, the soldiers only know that what they take and ask comes from their generals, so what good can it do other than let the generals' prestige override the court?

Only by firmly grasping this right and obligation in the hands of the court can the soldiers understand who they are eating and who they are fighting for.Then the soldiers will develop a certain degree of closeness to the imperial court that they have always felt out of reach, and secretly grow that precious heart of loyalty.

From the rule of man to the system, Liu Xie made the most profound attempt to reform the military system of the Han Dynasty.

Even though there will be huge matters such as the calculation of military merits, special talents and supervision measures for the issuance of rewards, and other complicated and trivial issues, Liu Xie will still only face up to these obstacles, and will not be lazy. Shake this principle by half.

Liu Xie can still tell the difference between what can be lazy and what can't be lazy.

However, now is not the time to worry about these things.The entire goal of dispatching troops to the Kanto region was perfectly achieved step by step, and the edge of the Han Dynasty finally began to shine brightly in the sky.After the rest, he joined forces with Cao Mengde to fight the battle of Yuan Shu's army. In the eyes of Liu Xie who knew the result, it was actually a relaxing trip at public expense.

As long as the Han army defeated Yuan Shu's army this time, it would be a perfect ending.Then Liu Xie can almost predict how many county guards and governors from all over the country will write letters to congratulate him, and how his reputation will be reborn!

At that time, the Han Dynasty, as a force carrying the banner of morality and orthodoxy in the world, basically seemed to be open.Whoever refuses to accept it will use the name of the Han Dynasty to order other princes to beat him together, and he can run all the way to the glorious apex of the Han Dynasty's unification.

Thinking about this wonderful moment, Liu Xie felt that his poem just now had an artistic conception.

But at this moment, a strange messenger came in front of Liu Xie, without even saluting, he whispered a few words to Liu Xie in full view.

The next moment, Liu Xiezhi's complacent expression was replaced by shock and contemplation, and he whispered to the messenger: "You did a good job in this matter, I really didn't misunderstand you, Luo Lin."

After that, Liu Xie turned to Xun You, Jia Xu, and Yang Xiu and said solemnly: "I have ordered all the civil and military personnel to come to my tent to discuss matters. There are changes in Kansai!" After saying this, Liu Xie paused and deliberately added Said: "Remember, don't let Ma Chao know about this!"
