Chapter 138 Rest and recuperate!
Thinking of this, Prince Duan's eyes suddenly became hot. The change of throne in Dayan did not wait for the death of the previous emperor before the new emperor ascended the throne again.
The emperors of Dayan were all cultivators, and they were basically masters of both civil and military affairs. The emperors' longevity was much longer than that of ordinary like the founding emperor of Dayan, Emperor Taizu, the ancestor of Dayan who is approaching his longevity has lived from the founding of Dayan to the present, and is already 310 years old.
If a new king ascends the throne after the emperor dies, I am afraid that Dayan will still be ruled by Emperor Taizu, and Dayan's crisis will have to add another line of succession!
The throne of Dayan changes every 30 years. No matter how long you live, you must abdicate after 30 years in power and become the ancestor of the royal family to guard the royal family. The new emperor will inherit the throne and take charge of Dayan!
This rule is the ancestral precept set by Taizu of Dayan. Taizu of Dayan also did the same. Emperor Taizu of Dayan founded the country. After being the emperor for 30 years, he retired behind the scenes and the prince succeeded to the throne.
This year happens to be the 30th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Murong Qian of Dayan. However, Dayan is now in a state of turmoil. Changing the emperor temporarily is harmful rather than beneficial to Dayan. At this time, Dayan needs someone who is familiar with government affairs and is decisive and ruthless to take charge. Dayan is a behemoth.
Therefore, Emperor Taizu of Yan specifically approved Murong Qianduo to control the world for 30 years. After 30 years, he would retreat behind the scenes and hand over the court to the next generation of the Murong family. After 30 years, it was time for the generation of King Duan to compete for the throne.
Although there is a prince above his head, as the emperor's son, who can not be tempted by that position?Even if it only lasts for 30 years, he will still be the Supreme Lord of the Ninth Five Years and the Lord of the World!
And after abdicating the throne, you can directly become the ancestor of the royal family and become one of the true controllers of Dayan. If you don't have the blessing of the throne, if you want to become the ancestor of Dayan, you must at least have the strength of a Zhen Gang Realm Grandmaster! "Your Majesty, there are military orders from Baizhan Hall!" Suddenly, a guard of Prince Duan came in and bowed respectfully.
"bring here!"
King Duan opened the military order handed over by his personal guard and frowned slightly when he opened was asked to provide compensation for the soldiers who died in the battle. Duan Wang had read the military report sent by Wang Hu just now. In this war, a total of 3000 soldiers died in the battle, and a total of 11 young men died in the battle.
The battle loss ratio with the Northern Barbarians was almost one to two, but 17 people still died in the battle. According to the lowest pension for young men, one person is ten taels of silver, which is 170 million taels of silver, and the ordinary soldier's pension is still To be higher, the minimum is 20 taels.
And this is already the lowest price. A normal soldier can earn two taels of silver a month, and 20 taels is just ten months' an ordinary young man can earn one tael of silver per month. Ten taels is already an extremely low price.
"Mr. Liu, look at this?" King Duan handed the military order to Liu Yiran and said.
Liu Yiran chuckled lightly after reading it and said: "The pension is issued by the imperial court. The prince just pays for it. Whatever the imperial court says, that is the imperial court's business. If Taibao Wei has any doubts, he can go to Yanshan City to find out. Imperial theory!”
When King Duan heard this, he also relaxed. Yes, the ancestor has not fallen yet. Who in the world dares to disobey. Wei Yuan's threat has almost no effect on him, the Prince of Dayan! Besides, the military salaries and pensions of the three armies of Beiliang have always been supported by the imperial court. Even if King Duan fails to pay off, Wei Yuan will still pay the debt. To the court, the result is the same.
"By the way, I want to give my father a secret. We don't need to take care of the soldiers under King Beiliang, but the salary and pension of Wang Hu are indispensable. Wang Hu is a lonely person, and he will not treat him badly. "." Speaking of Wang Hu, King Duan suddenly showed a satisfied smile. This Wang Hu is his own team and a true confidant. He will be the key to holding military power in the future, so he must not treat him badly.
"With General Wang's talents, if he develops in another two years, he will definitely be able to recruit more than half of the elites of the Liangshan Army. It will also be a great thing for the court. As long as the prince says he is powerful, your majesty will not refuse." Liu Yiran stood aside. He also nodded in agreement.
King Duan nodded, settled the matter, and immediately wrote the memorial. In a matter of seconds, the two memorials were completed.
Putting down his brush, King Duan suddenly asked: "How is the recruitment of personal guards going?"
The old general of the Li family who had conspired with Wang Hu at Prince Duan's Mansion clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Reporting to the prince, the eight thousand personal guards have been affected by the war ahead and have only recruited less than 1000 people. Now that the war has stopped, I would like to come forward There will be a lot more people coming.”
King Duan nodded and said: "Don't be in a hurry, call slowly, rather be short of things than wasteful. My personal guards must be warriors!"
"The end will obey orders!"
The northern barbarians retreated, and a battle involving a million-strong army ended hastily. Although this battle was short, it caused considerable casualties. The three armies of the northern border combined to lose nearly 20 soldiers and young men, and consumed various types of ordnance. Countless, nearly [-] pieces of broken armor and weapons.
In total, a total of nearly 300 million taels of silver were needed to provide pensions to soldiers who died in battle, rewards to those who performed meritorious services, repairs of broken weapons and armor, and replenishment of ordnance at consumption the war, the entire northern high-level officials were worried about this huge amount of money.
When everyone's focus was on the silver, no one noticed that a middle-aged scholar wearing a green robe with a somewhat serious face came to Beichuan City under the escort of two sharp-eyed warriors. He took over the political affairs of the six counties and quietly eliminated the Liangshan Prefecture Governor above his head.
At the same time, from time to time, warriors wearing commoners, but with a strong and powerful aura, went south to join the recruit camp in Liangshan Prefecture and the personal guards of King military attache who recruited soldiers was very happy and recommended him to the superior officer and placed him in a key position.
At the same time, there were also many generals in charge of the recruit camps who secretly recruited these warriors who had been recruited from the private sector and had good cultivation. Each general had a lot of gains.
This made General Wei Ming breathe a sigh of relief. With the addition of this group of warriors, the military attachés under his command who originally belonged to the Li, Jiang, and Han families were finally replaced by these warriors with no background recruited from the private sector. He has the army under his command firmly in his hands!
Such smooth control of the armies of Li, Jiang, and Han under his command even made Wei Ming a little grateful for the previous battle where the Northern Barbarians went south. If that battle hadn't caused heavy casualties among the Liangshan army, a vacancy had been created. The large number of positions completely overwhelmed the three families' control over the army, and a large number of new soldiers were recruited. He would not be able to control the army so easily.
