Royal Road

The materials transported from the mountain returned to the two teams one after another. Until the sun set, Yi Yan took the last team back to Liang's Mansion.

The night was dark, but the door of Liang's Mansion was brightly lit, like a beacon that summons tired birds. However, Yi Yan did not expect that even the man greeted the door.

He walked to Liang Feng in three steps and took two steps, and knelt on one knee: "Master, fortunately, his subordinates have completely leveled the Qingyang Village!"

Not only is it leveled up, I'm afraid it's gone, right? Liang Feng smiled and stepped forward and reached out to support his arm: "I didn't expect you to do so well. Get up. Talk inside."

That hand was a little cold, and I didn't know if it was because of waiting too long or because of hypothermia. Yi Yan quickly got up and supported Liang Feng. Like when the two met for the first time, he was still stained with the blood of the enemy, covered in dust and embarrassed. And that person is still clean and elegant, just like clouds on the horizon. But this time, Yi Yan didn't back away, didn't let go, but clung to Liang Feng's side, helping him to move toward the main courtyard.

Step by step, Yi Yan's heart seemed to calm down, no more anger, no anxiety, no hesitation, everything fell back to the original place, tied to the person beside her.

After a while, the two returned to the room. Sitting down on the couch, Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and asked first: "Fortunately, it's smooth sailing this time. How did you attack it?"

He didn't even ask himself what was finally captured. Yi Yan got hot in his chest and described in detail the experience of attacking the village. Liang Feng nodded as he listened. This is clearly the attacking tactics of special forces. Maybe in the future a sharp knife class can be cultivated in accordance with the training methods of special forces?

After finally finishing speaking, Yi Yan said, "I brought back all the belongings in Qingyang Village, and the village was set on fire. There will be no bandits in the future."

No wonder the light convoy came back three or four times. Liang Feng asked curiously: "What are the three big cars you brought back last?"

"Money silk." Yi Yan replied simply, "There are also gold and silver jewelry and various treasures, which are probably obtained from the looting caravan. They were not willing to spend it and hid them in their respective houses."

Huh! There are hundreds of thousands of dollars in such three big cars, right? Liang Feng couldn't help but laughed: "It's still easy to do business without capital."

"I can lead troops to attack other cottages!" Yi Yan said immediately.

Liang Feng shook his head: "Qingyangzhai is in a special situation. The main force has been leveled by our army. It is easy to take it. But don't take a siege war lightly. You don't have several times the strength, so you don't want to take a strong city easily. If so. The defenders of the city are firm, and the city is full of materials, and it is common to stand firm in front of several times the enemy. Siege wars are also wars of attrition. So if you don't have to be a last resort, don't attack those cities."

Just like in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army broke down the fishing city with whip and tens of thousands of troops couldn't attack a small city. Instead, they killed the enemy commander in the first battle, causing civil strife in the Mongolian army and changing the pattern of the entire world. The key fortress set up in key positions has always been an element that cannot be ignored in wars. He didn't want to make Yi Yan's siege war light because of a small small village.

Yi Yan nodded thoughtfully. Liang Feng didn't stop, and continued: "And I trained you not to let you rob you. Whether it is the people or the mountain bandits, it may cause serious consequences. If the army is distracted, everything will be useless. This You did a good job this time. You didn't distribute the property to the soldiers privately. Only good discipline can keep the soldiers unmoved by the immediate interests."

"Does the lord want to reward these people? They have received a lot of favors!" Yi Yan frowned. He didn't have too much thought, but he felt that all the property seized should belong to the lord, so he didn't let the people below get in his hands.

Liang Feng shook his head and said: "If you win a battle, you should be rewarded. But money is a mess, and it will never be the right way to reward soldiers. This encounter also showed me a lot of problems. I just wanted to take this opportunity. Reorganize the part and increase the number of soldiers."

Before he thought it was a little bit worse, the elite army route is good, but it is not completely suitable for Liang Mansion. The people in the Liang Mansion are really too thin. If you only rely on professional soldiers, you will never be able to make up the number of people to cope with the war. It is better to learn from the army of the Tang Dynasty and develop a batch of reserve forces that are partly cultivated and partly combated. And those professional soldiers will become the knives and sharp blades among them, and play the biggest role.

This topic is exactly what Yi Yan wants to hear: "Yes, there are too few people to take care of it. The lord has to leave enough manpower by his side!"

It seems that the hijacking incident still left a lot of psychological shadow on Yi Yan. Liang Feng smiled and said, "This is the truth. In the future, I will also leave a guard of the army. The servants in the main house must also be trained to take care of safety. But these are still secondary, and the most important thing is that I imagined it. This reward system. It is divided into three levels, and it can be operated like this..."

Liang Feng spoke with great interest. The more Yi Yan listened, his brow furrowed higher, and finally he couldn't help saying: "Master, I don't need such a reward. And the number of acres is too much, how can the house be maintained? livelihood?"

"The more acres given to the soldiers, the more people can be supported. Each acre of tax deduction or exemption of farmland can feed one more life. So it depends on how much money the Liang Mansion can receive, and It’s how many people it can keep alive and how many lives it can save."

This is something that Liang Feng spent an afternoon slowly trying to understand. At this stage, this kind of reorganization does cost a lot, but correspondingly, it can feed more dimes. And when these people survive and even have grain in their warehouses and money in their pockets, then the local economy will recover. Raising soldiers is not only the soldiers, but also the family members behind those soldiers.

When there are three to five hundred people, such a policy seems inconspicuous. But if there are thirty to fifty thousand people, then the people behind them are a large enough number. However, these are still far away. What we need to do now is to let those soldiers who shed blood and sweat receive the rewards they deserve.

After finally understanding this, Liang Feng was in high spirits. Looking at the pale, but glorious man in front of him, Yi Yan's eyes gradually began to shine. He knew that the Lord had a good heart, otherwise he would not save himself from the officers and soldiers, let alone give them these Jinuu freedom. But he didn't expect that the lord could see so far! If he were to govern a county or even a state, how many people would be able to live a peaceful and prosperous life without being displaced?

No matter how it is assembled, this piece is the foundation of the lord. He will polish this force well and make it the wings of the lord soaring into the sky!

In the chase shop in the barracks, the snoring sounded. Zhu Er, who was sleeping in the corner, hugged his thin quilt and rolled around comfortably. Almost hit a teammate on the side. However, both of them slept around, it was a good dream that no one disturbed anyone.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Er suddenly said "Ouch", turned over and sat up: "I'm going to **** by mistake!"

The voice was not too big or too small, and half of the people in the barracks woke up. Someone immediately cursed: "What the fuck, rest these two days!"

Hearing this roar, many people fell asleep again. Zhu Er flushed, completely lost sleep, and sneaked off the bed and walked out.

At this moment, the sky was just getting bright, and there was really no one on the school court outside. Zhu Er stood by the empty court, a little dazed. Three days have passed since the day of the battle against the bandits, but standing here, you can still feel the tremor of killing the enemy that day. The kind of fear and excitement that the heart tightens and the eyes are bloodshot.

In that battle, he killed three enemies head-on and wounded two more. After coming down, his hands were shaking for a whole day, and he couldn't even participate in the attack on the cottage the next day. Until now, he can still remember those **** faces. But the weird thing is that those faces never appear in the dream every day. On the contrary, sleepless night till dawn.

It must be because those people should be killed. Zhu Er clenched his fists, surprisingly calm in his heart. He was a household in Liangfu, born in a farm. Under this mountain, there is his family's field, his parents and relatives, why should he let the bandits be harmed? If those **** dare to come again, he must kill a few more so that they have no place to bury them!

"Huh? Zhu Er, why do you get up so early?" The door on the side opened, and Sun Jiao walked out of it. He could not help but ask when he saw his family members at a glance.

"Captain!" Zhu Er quickly stood up straight, raised his right hand on his chest, and made a military salute. This is also the team's orthodoxy, saying that it is inconvenient to kneel down when the armor is on the body, and this is the etiquette.

Sun Jiao waved his hand casually: "Where are there so many rules? Aren't you not doing exercises today? Why are you getting up so early?"

"I...I can't sleep, come out and go around." Zhu Er scratched his head and smirked.

"Haha, are you also thinking about today's review?" Sun Jiao glanced at the wooden platform that had just been erected in the past two days, and said in a serious manner, "I have inquired about it, and it is said that the host will give us a reward! It may be the money paid from the bandit's den!"

"Really?!" Zhu Er was taken aback, "If only one person sends a two-piece, it would be a lot of money!"

"That's really bad." Sun Jiao sighed. "But I heard that Mufang has won two or three rewards. This time we have done so much, maybe we can give some sweetness?"

"Actually, the host is good enough for us." Zhu Er was a little guilty, and muttered, "Just three meals a day, clothes, and tenen fields are a lot of expenses. It's not just for raising us. It's not justified to ask for a reward after a war..."

Sun Jiao couldn't help but choked: "I just listened to it, who knows? Anyway, this is the first time the host has reviewed the trilogy. It's better to get some energy! I won't talk nonsense with you, I'm going to practice arrows."

Since losing to Yi Yan, Sun Jiao has also practiced his arrows secretly, and Guang Zhu Er has met several times. Seeing Wu Changyuan's back, Zhu Er let out a sigh of relief, yes, no matter how rewarded you are, you need to cheer up in front of Lord Lang and don't lose the face of their Wu.

After thinking about it, Zhu Er trot all the way to the well on the side. It’s always true to see the team’s posture that they have to wash their faces before returning home.

After another half hour, everyone was chased by their respective captains. Putting on new clothes one by one, they picked up the spears that stayed in their hands all day. Since the fierce battle that day, everyone in the team has received a three-foot-long red tassel that can be attached to the gun head. It is said that this will prevent blood from flowing down the gun stem, and the hand will not slip when fighting with the gun. . For the family soldiers who have seen blood, this thing is absolutely practical, and the tie is also beautifully tight. It seems that even the long spear is a little more powerful.

After taking care of everything, the drum on the side of the school field rang. The killing of the enemy that day suddenly came to my mind, all the soldiers clenched their spears, straightened their chests, and marched to the edge of the Dianjiang stage.

However, it is different from what we imagined. At this moment, there are no soft couches or short tables on the high wooden table, but a weird long table with high feet covered with red cloth and silver plates. I don’t know. What is it. But no matter how doubtful they are in their hearts, no one whispers to each other. They are used to training in line, and they still know this rule.

In this extremely quiet and solemn atmosphere, the two climbed up the steps and slowly climbed onto the high platform. One person was wearing leather armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and Xiao murderous aura loomed in his gray-blue eyes, which made people afraid to look directly. The other was wearing a loose robe and slender sleeves, and his unspeakable extravagance was compelling.

The two walked one after the other to the middle of the high platform, and the man in uniform stepped forward and said loudly, "All of them, stand at attention! Military salute!"

With a crash, everyone closed their heels, raised their right arms, knocked on the left chest, and delivered a military salute designated by the Liang Mansion. Although there are only twenty people, the movements are neat and uniform, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Liang Feng's gaze crossed over them and nodded: "The day before yesterday, you fought bravely to kill the enemy and repelled the bandits five times your own. You are brave and brave, worthy of praise."

Just a few words have made many people blush. This is praise from the host! And praise, do you really want to reward things? Why didn't you see the copper coins placed on the case?

Liang Feng didn't buy Guanzi, and said: "From now on, Liang Mansion's military merits are divided into three classes. The third-class military merits, bravely killed the enemy, won a big victory, all participating sergeants will be exempted for three years!"

As soon as this was said, there was a commotion immediately below. They expected that they would get the reward, but the best idea was nothing more than a few strings of money. However, the exemption for three years is different. Each of them has ten acres of military land. If ten acres are exempted for three years, wouldn't they be able to feed the whole family?

"This third-class military merit can be accumulated. Every time you fight the enemy bravely and return in a big victory, you will get a three-year exemption. This is how you fight!"

At this time, the most calm person couldn't help it. If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible for the army to be exempted for 30 years by winning ten battles? Thirty years! I'm afraid it can be used for my own death!

Liang Feng didn't care about the commotion, and continued: "If you dare to take the lead in the battlefield, and can turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop and lead the triumph from defeat to victory, it is a second-class military attack. Ten years of exemption!"

Everyone looked at Yi Yan instantly. Each of them has seen the appearance of the team fighting to the death, if there is no team, they would never win so easily. What a glorious feat to turn things around on the battlefield in one fell swoop. And such courage of soldiers can also plunder multiples of their own merits! If they can become squad leaders and team leaders, can they also receive this honor? !

Seeing the fiery atmosphere in the audience, Liang Feng smiled and threw the last blockbuster: "If you are disabled due to war, you can also enjoy the second-class military service! If you die in battle, in addition to exempting the land, Liang's house will also help the dead. Support your wife and children. You can get twenty third-class military merits, or ten second-class military merits, and you can gain ranks and get promoted to first-class military merits. The first-class heroes will never be taxed and can be passed on to descendants!"

Not to mention the preferential treatment for the disabled, this can be passed down to the first-class military merits of the descendants, isn't it Yongyetian? ! Can the treatment that only kings and princes can enjoy in the past, as long as they follow the lord, can they be exchanged? That's a great honor! Everyone has no language, and money may provide them with food and clothing for a while, but such feats are the guarantee for their lifelong worry. Let them throw their heads, sprinkle their blood, and work hard for it!

They didn't follow the wrong person!

"Wish to die for the lord!"

I don’t know who yelled for the first time, and then everyone shouted in unison: "May I die for the Lord! May I die for the Lord!"

This is their cry from the heart. All of them grew up in the fields and were born farmers. They know the importance of the field and love it sincerely. Who can give them land, grant them exemption, and give them life-long ownership of the land, who is their **** and deserves to be worshipped wholeheartedly!

Looking at the flushing faces below, Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The third-class military merit system was copied from later generations of troops, and after some adjustments, it was linked to Qin Shi's military merits. In terms of rituals, he did not actually have the right to confess his land without authorization. In any era, the right to distribute land is an innate power exclusively enjoyed by the court and the emperor.

But now, it is a truly troubled time, a catastrophic era when the court is about to fall. He needs a loyal and strong enough force. Since the field can maintain this loyalty, he can steal the power and give the land around him to the warriors who fight for him.

Liang Feng raised his hand and pressed it lightly, and the tsunami-like cries stopped immediately. This is a real prohibition and a clear proof of the team's obedience. Liang Feng nodded slightly and continued: "After this battle, the current manpower shortage in the Liang Mansion has also been exposed. Therefore, I decided to expand the trilogy. You soldiers who are only in charge of combat, who are in the army, can get it when you join the army. Taxes are halved for ten acres of military land. The number of members for a team is increased to a hundred, with one team leader and two deputy team members. There are five subordinates and one team, and the team leader; ten people each, and the team leader."

This immediately made Sun Jiao excited. If there is an increase in manpower, wouldn't he, the former head of the corps, have to follow the tide and be promoted?

Liang Feng continued: "The other two teams will be expanded to serve as auxiliary soldiers. You can farm on weekdays and assist you in wartime, and you can receive food and payment from the army. A regular soldier and two auxiliary soldiers form a battalion, with one battalion commander. All officers and above are officers. All officers can receive different military fields according to their ranks. The battalion commander is 50 acres, the team leader is 30 acres, the team deputy is 25 acres, and the length is 15 acres."

Now let alone Sun Jiao, even the others are breathing fast. Those of them who have participated in battles and won third-class military merits, are they all likely to be promoted to officers? If there is an official title, wouldn't it be several times more acres? Ten acres of land can feed a family of three with no taxes. If it is 30 acres or 50 acres, wouldn’t you become a landlord who can raise maid’s land?

"This battalion is called the'Yongruiying'. "Six Secret Teachings" has a saying: there are brave, daring, and happy people in the army, and they are called'blade warriors'; there are courageous, brave and violent men in the army. Those who gather together are called "the soldiers of Chen"; those who have pro-chief swords and those who take the martial arts are gathered together, and the name is "the brave and sharp soldiers." What I want is not willing to take the edge. Fanatics are not a lone army based on courage alone, but brave and strong soldiers who can beat the drums and move forward without chaos. You are all selected fronts in the army, and I am a sharp edge in defending my homeland. Remember your battalion number, If you don’t have the courageous heart, you don’t deserve to be a righteous soldier of the'Brave Camp'!"

Having said that, Liang Feng had taken two things from the silver plate on the Gao case, and said solemnly: "Yi Yan."

"Subordinates are here!" Yi Yan stepped forward and knelt in front of Liang Feng on one knee.

"This is the banner and military merit book of the'Yongrui Camp'. The banner is the soul of the army. The flag is in the establishment of the system, and the flag is destroyed and the establishment is destroyed. The military merit book is the root of the army. It records the military achievements of all soldiers and has been passed down for generations. Now, I give you these two things. May you be in charge of this camp, and there will be no end to all battles!"

"The subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord!" Yi Yan raised his hands high, and solemnly accepted the two things. Afterwards, he got up and walked to the Dianjiang stage, showing his hands, the flags fluttering.

"The lord is mighty! Brave and victorious!"

I saw the word "Yong Rui" embroidered in the middle of the flag, with a red bottom gold thread, shining brightly in the sun.

Everyone yelled: "The lord is mighty! Brave and victorious!"

The voice shook the sky, spreading to the large mansion and farmhouse of Liang Mansion inside the wall, to the huts temporarily occupied by the refugees outside the wall, and echoing endlessly between the more distant valleys.
