Concubine [Slow Wear]

After listening to Lin Xianxian's proposal, the courtiers expressed their disapproval, but it was not their face that the soldiers could not be recruited. They were also happy to obey the West Queen Mother's wishes. Of course, if this blow can It would be better to frustrate the spirit of the queen mother.

For this conscription, Lin Xianxian also took out two songs, "Going to Expedition" and "Song of Intellectual Youth Joining the Army", which were revised and more suitable for the current environment, as promotional songs for free conscription.

She advocates freedom of conscription. First, a democratic thought from later generations that is rooted in her soul is at work, and second, she wants to use this to accumulate some truly passionate and patriotic people with lofty ideals for this country built by Han Bo.

Lin Xianxian always believed that in the land of the Chinese nation, in every era, there will be such people, and they are the real backbone of the country.

So even if the free conscription does not collect enough soldiers, she will not feel slapped in the face.

What the courtiers did not expect was that Lin Xianxian's two military songs had unexpectedly good effects. Not only many young people who were easily incited by their emotions took the initiative to sign up for the army with the recruiters, but also many famous masters in the martial arts world for a long time. The senior figures are all madly running to sign up for the army. Unfortunately, their age usually does not meet the recruitment requirements, but they have left many disciples and grandchildren to the recruiters.

The most incredible thing for the court officials in charge of recruiting is that among the list of people who signed up for the army, some of them are still scholars. ~

Therefore, the court official went to the recruiting office to have a look. When he heard the lyrics of "Going to the Expedition" and "The Song of Intellectual Youth from the Army" repeatedly sung by the pedestrians walking in and out of the recruiting office, he felt as if Some understand why this self-conscription has such a great effect.

Just the few lyrics he heard sporadically made him have an urge to fight to kill the enemy and defend the country, let alone those simple-minded fools.

Although the official's description was a bit ugly, the common people at this time generally lacked ideological education, and basically followed their own family traditions and grew up savagely, so their emotions were sometimes very agitated, and sometimes they appeared because of some inexplicable persistence. Compared with the obscure classical Chinese, the songs that Lin Xianxian came up with were easier to understand, and it was easier to convey the emotions in the lyrics to these people.

In order to verify his conjecture, and to listen to the full version of the lyrics, the official specially came to the city tower closest to the inner city at noon on the second day. All the towers rang.

When the official arrived in front of the gate tower, it was already crowded with people, and he couldn't get close at all, so he could only park the carriage at the periphery.

At this time, noon had just arrived. After the bell on the city tower rang, the first sentence of "Going on an Expedition" sounded, and the people under the city tower began to sing along sparsely. By the end, the official could no longer hear the sound from the city tower. , is the chorus of thousands of people, and with the majestic lyrics of "Going to Expedition", it gives people a very shocking feeling, especially the response and howling of the 'big wind, strong wind' at the end, so that officials have a kind of 'big wind' throughout their body. The clouds are flying, and the Weijia Sea is returning to his hometown. Ander warrior Xi guards the Quartet! ' pride.

After listening to the two songs, the blood boiled, the officials also habitually analyzed the meaning of the two songs by the Queen Mother of the West. "Expedition" promotes the unity of the gods and the week, and sings a kind of united will to serve the country. The sense of responsibility of the people, and "Army Song" is more partial to describe the man's lofty ambition to save the country.

Combining the two songs together, the thought conveyed is a kind of 'Gou Li's country lives and dies, who will give up on me! ' Zhiyong, it's no wonder that after listening to these two songs, so many people will sign up to join the army. This is only the capital. If you want to come, there must be many people in other places in Dazhou. With this feeling in mind, I joined the expedition force.

Judging from the current situation, the adults' thoughts of making Queen Xi deflated may be in vain! ~

After the conscription ended, Lin Xianxian asked the "singing troupe" of the tower to read a vernacular text to the recruits and the people of Dazhou, titled "What kind of big week do I want." 》

"What kind of big week do I want, I want my big week no one dares to bully me, I want my big week to be admired by everyone, I want my big week's people to be in anyone, whether it's the northern barbarians, the southern barbarians or others In front of any strong man, you can stand up straight and stand upright, I want you to be human and be the backbone of my great Zhou!"

The big week that Lin Xianxian wanted, the soldiers and people of Da Zhou heard clearly and understood. Next, in view of the people's support for this conscription campaign, Lin Xianxian also deliberately wrote the treatment of this group of soldiers. in this speech.

The first treatment is to distribute the land. Anyway, there are still a lot of wasteland to be reclaimed in the Dazhou territory. It is considered a favor to distribute them. For the interests of the soldiers, these lands cannot be transferred within 20 years. Unless the soldiers bring relevant certificates and go through the transfer procedures in person at the government, the price cannot be lower than the average price of good land in the past ten years.

The second treatment is that the children of soldiers are eligible to study and read in the upcoming Royal Academy, which basically gives their children a chance to change their fate.

The third treatment involves the pension policy of the sacrificed soldiers. Every hero who sheds his blood for Da Zhou will receive a valuable pension. No one may occupy this pension in any name, otherwise he will be killed. Wu Amnesty, in addition, in front of the city gate of each county, a stone tablet will be erected to engrave the names of these heroes who died in other countries in order to protect their families and the country. Remember them forever.

These three treatments, the soldiers who signed up to join the army are full of blood and blood boils! ~ Those people who have not signed up for various reasons are regretful and envious. In this era, their achievements and names can be remembered by many people, even for a long time. To be remembered by many, many people, for the people today, it is a kind of glory that has no regrets in death.

There are also some good benefits such as food, clothing and military salaries, which are not listed here.

In short, the treatment of this group of independent troops was envied even by the many imperial guards who guarded the imperial city.

The reason why Lin Xianxian treats these people so favorably is on the one hand because of the preferential treatment of the soldiers who protect the family and the country, on the other hand, is also cultivating her own power. Although she is nominally the empress dowager, she has no foundation in the previous dynasty. , Although at present, the three assistant ministers left by Han Boju are still loyal, but who knows whether they will simply kill them and establish themselves as emperors after they come into contact with higher powers, or they will be better. Rely on the Son of Heaven to command the princes.

Although Lin Xianxian doesn't like feudal rule, she doesn't like being ruled by others. Therefore, once she takes responsibility for politics, she needs to cultivate her own power to maintain her right to speak.

And those enemy and barbarian forces who are wandering in the surrounding area and making troubles and wanting to take advantage, never imagined that they had just sent away a very stubborn neighboring emperor, but welcomed an iron-clad Empress Dowager Nishinomiya. .

These grandchildren were beaten by the Da Zhou soldiers who were like chicken blood. Those who were familiar with the mountains and forests got into the forest, and those who were familiar with the grasslands fled to the depths of the grasslands. The idea of ​​them coming back again.

But this time the Da Zhou soldiers seem to be different from the previous ones. Not only did they not release the captives, but they also didn't take the initiative to return the land. They even looked like they were robbing them in turn. The enemy leaders, who had no similar combat experience, therefore I lost a lot of money, and it really hurts when I cry!

In other words, isn't Da Zhou a state of etiquette? ! Why are you still doing robbery like them? ! Then they planned to use surrender as an excuse to discuss something with Da Zhou, can they still do it? ! Thinking about the small vaults that were evacuated by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the leaders have no idea in their hearts!

Regarding the compensation for defeat in the war, it has also been discussed in the court. Some old people insist that Dazhou is a state of etiquette, and it is necessary to give some benefits to those small affiliated countries that are defeated and surrendered to show the grandeur of Dazhou.

When Lin Xianxian heard this, she co-authored that while hitting her, she wanted her to pay for her medical expenses because of the pain in her hand! ~ What can she do? ! Must not! Lin Xianxian didn't argue with these old and wacky old folks, she just said, "The most precious thing in my day is Confucianism, if you don't, I will teach this knowledge to those vassals. It’s a small country, so that their people can study hard, what is etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame.” They have helped to educate their people, and they are big enough!

As for those old pedants, when they heard that Lin Xianxian affirmed Confucianism, they felt their beards full of pride, but when Lin Xianxian’s words came out, they all got stuck together. This... Did the Queen Mother misunderstood? What, isn't this the benefit they say? !

But Lin Xianxian's proposal was quickly approved by the military generals in the court and some civil servants who could wink.

Anyway, they also gave the benefits. According to the Queen Mother, it is the most precious and the most valuable. As for whether the enemies and barbarians are dissatisfied, who cares! ~Anyway, if they still dared to make trouble, they would dare to fight in Dazhou. Not to mention other things, just the wealth, silk, gold and silver that were confiscated by the soldiers really made the Dazhou officials' pockets fatten for several times.

Fight! Treated well! Now the whole Da Zhou has a militant mood. They are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid that there will be no war.
