nanming man

Chapter 1068
Wei Jun started from Henan, relying on the division of vassal land, started without a master.

Gao Yihuan used the land to tie the soldiers of the Wei army to his chariot. Every time the Wei army conquered a land, the soldiers would definitely get a part of the land.

Because the economy of the Wei state was not good enough, and the taxes were not enough to support and mobilize the army, Gao Yihuan rewarded the soldiers with land. Therefore, during the Wei army's war in Henan, taking Guanzhong, and conquering Hedong and Hebei, the soldiers all obtained a large amount of land resources.

This policy of rewarding soldiers with land did not gradually change until they attacked Nanming in the south.

The army holds a large amount of land, which indeed has the effect of motivating soldiers, but when it reaches a certain level, serious problems will also arise.

Soldiers want to fight, and the rewarded land needs people to breed, but after years of war, the population has dropped sharply, and the labor force is insufficient.

In this way, the land was rewarded, and no one helped to grow it, and conflicts arose, which also made the soldiers very dissatisfied.

As the emperor, Gao Yihuan's biggest worry was not the fight among civil servants, but the rebellion of the army, so he decided to help the soldiers to solve this problem.

The Xungui Group has always wanted to obtain the population of the South, but Gao Yihuan naturally refused, so he had to use North Korea instead.

In the early morning, when the Great Wei Dynasty met, the officials of the Qin Tianjian wrote a letter to watch the sky at night, and the northeast corner is dim, which is beneficial to China.

Immediately, a minister said that this is a good omen, which indicates that the Great Wei's attack on North Korea will surely win, and the emperor is invited to send troops.

With the power of Wei and the fact that Hauge and North Korea are not in the same boat, Gao Yihuan naturally knows that this battle must be won, and there is no need to engage in such tricks, but since the ministers have done it, he will try to make it auspicious.

Gao Yihuan immediately decreed that the army would go out immediately to attack North Korea and wipe out the remnants.

After the court meeting, the ministers dispersed, Gao Yihuan left Li Yan behind, and ordered him to stay in Chang'an.

This time the Great Wei attacked North Korea, it can be said that it is very safe, and it is enough to send a general. However, Gao Yihuan seems to be addicted to fighting, so he decided to go on the expedition himself, and mobilized more than [-] troops.

Hauge was in North Korea, with less than 20 troops, and only [-] troops in the traitorous army. There was no need to dispatch [-] troops, but there was no objection from the ruling and opposition parties.

After all, the battles that can still be fought can be counted with fingers. Many people think that this is the last chance to make meritorious deeds, so no one will offend the nobles.

This kind of fact obviously costs money and food, but the reason why Gao Yihuan insisted is that he also has a plan in his heart. He is going to take the opportunity to use a large number of martial arts students to get close to the soldiers and strengthen his control over the army.

Gao Yihuan decided to conscript himself, and Chang'an needed to stay behind. Gao Yihuan planned to leave the eldest son of the emperor as a supervisor of the country, and then let Li Yan assist the government, so he left Chang'an for Liaodong.

In the Tiange, Gao Yihuan sat behind the imperial case, and Li Yan sat aside.

Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "There have been many years of war in the north, and the population has dropped sharply. Mr. Li has thought of many strategies, moving the people from the barren areas to the plains, and persuading the people from the southwest to go down the mountain, but it still cannot meet the needs. No one is farming, it hurts morale. This time I went to North Korea personally to solve this problem. The prince is still young, so I entrusted Chang'an to my husband!"

Gao Yihuan now has four sons, the eldest son Jianxing was born to Concubine Zhao, the second son Jianli, the empress's son, the third son Jianfeng was also born to Concubine Zhao, and the fourth son Jianrui was Gao Yihuan messing around. The female official in the palace was born to Concubine Li.

Now the eldest son is eight years old and has already left the cabinet to study. The second and third sons are also starting to study this year, and the fourth son is still young and has just been born.

In addition, Gao Yihuan had an illegitimate child outside the palace. He was afraid of being scolded by the ministers and his reputation would be affected, so he didn't bring it into the palace.

Li Yan bowed to Gao Yihuan and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will look after Chang'an for Your Majesty, but I have something to ask Your Majesty."

Gao Yihuan raised his hand and said, "What's the problem, sir?"

Li Yan took a look at Gao Yihuan and reminded: "Your Majesty attacked North Korea to solve the problem of no one planting military farmland, but how does His Majesty plan to distribute the acquired population? Do you know the current situation of military farmland?"

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, sat up straight, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of labor in the north. Every time the imperial court relocates the natives or the population, nobles and high-ranking military officers will naturally use their power to satisfy themselves first."

Gao Yihuan nodded. He knew this well. Xungui supported the Beidang in the civil service group, and the Beidang gave them convenience. The two sides exchanged interests to form an interest group.

Gao Yihuan gestured: "Sir, continue!"

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "This will lead to a situation where nobles and generals take advantage of their power, money, and land concentration to snatch tenants from ordinary soldiers' families, so that the military fields of ordinary military households lack tenants to cultivate. However, the military fields of military households are not cultivated, and many people will sell the land at a low price, and these lands will be bought by nobles, forming a large-scale merger. The merged land still needs people to cultivate it. There is no one to cultivate the military fields, and the soldiers have no choice but to panic or sell them at a low price, but the nobles have the strength to turn the people who were resettled by the imperial court and the natives into tenants."

Gao Yihuan's heart shuddered after hearing this. Generally speaking, the initial stage of land annexation is a very slow process. When the annexation reaches a certain scale, it will suddenly speed up.

Gao Yihuan originally thought that the fields would be distributed to the army, and then these fields would not be moved, but he forgot about the flow and annexation of land.

Gao Yihuan was silent for a while, and didn't say anything, "I know what Mr. said!"

Seeing this, Li Yan didn't say much, stood up, glanced at the official documents piled up in front of Gao Yihuan's desk, and saluted, "Your Majesty is busy with work, and I'm retiring!"

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, and after Li Yan exited the Tiange, he picked up the playbook and looked at it for a while. It was full of trivial matters, so he threw the playbook away, leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to meditate.

Two days later, in the eastern outskirts of Chang'an, more than [-] Wei troops assembled. Gao Yihuan ascended the altar and issued a call for Qing Dynasty, announcing the army's eastward expedition to North Korea.

The Wei army sent 20 troops in this battle. Gao Yihuan didn't wait for many veterans. He only brought Li Dingguo with him.

A long time ago, Gao Yihuan paid attention to the training of military officers. He opened a martial arts lecture hall in the army, and later established the Guozijian Martial Arts Academy, which trained a large number of military officers.

Not long ago, Gao Yihuan decreed to change the name of the Martial Academy to the Imperial Military Academy and invest more resources in cultivating officers with both civil and military skills. However, despite his efforts, there were not many officers trained by the Martial Academy at the top of the Great Wei Imperial Army. Cadets are currently not mastering the military.
