Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Outside the Shayuan camp, many people gathered here, constantly asking each other for news.

"When will the record of achievements for this battle be announced? How many of those who were the first to reach the battle and those who were trapped in the battle have great merits?"

Since people were prohibited from casual activities around the camp, these people all stayed a few miles away from the camp, each looking up with anxious expressions. At the same time, they looked at the other people gathered here with vigilance.

Those who have children in the camp and are waiting for their relatives to come out of the camp are better informed, and they will not hesitate to share this now: "There were several battles before and after this campaign, and thousands of people have made great contributions. As early as yesterday, they began to receive awards one after another. After receiving the honors, I will leave the camp one after another in the afternoon! My family, Alang, will be awarded the rank of Xiaoqiwei for his merits in the battle. With this rank, he will not only be honored in the countryside, but he will also be able to enter the Bafu and defend the Tang Dynasty in the coming year!"

After everyone heard this, they were filled with envy. They all came forward and congratulated the man repeatedly while continuing to inquire about the details of this military merit award.

"Come out, the warriors have come out of the camp!"

The crowd was still talking about it, and suddenly someone shouted loudly in front of them. Everyone followed the sound and saw the camp door open. A group of knights in military uniforms were riding out from the camp. The crowd suddenly became more and more excited. They rushed forward to greet them.

War horses are not the standard equipment for soldiers in the army, but those who leave the camp now are those who have made great achievements and are rewarded first.

Regardless of their previous circumstances, just because of their great achievements this time, their realm has been substantially improved. With their respective officers, they can be granted several hectares of land. Although the land grant has yet to be implemented by the military government, the reality is now In fact, the military certificates that are distributed and carried in the pocket are worth hundreds or even thousands of pieces of silk. After a war, one directly obtains wealth that ordinary people have accumulated for most of their lives and are difficult to obtain!

With such a rich material foundation, it is not a problem to support a war horse, and as the war horse is the closest partner on the battlefield, the more they get along day and night, the higher the tacit understanding they can maintain, and they can also practice riding and archery skills diligently in their free time. Therefore, the camp leaders simply distributed the war horses to each of them, and they only needed to report to their respective military offices after returning.

"Alang, Alang, slave is here! The soup at home is warm, the meals are ready, and the mistress and others are looking forward to Alang's return home!"

Some slaves who had been waiting for a long time tried their best to squeeze out of the crowd and rushed to their master, waving their hands and shouting loudly.

For all the outstanding sergeants, soldiers from the military government have already gone to their hometowns to inform their families that they have won this honor and the date of their return. Therefore, most of the people gathered outside the camp are the family members of these meritorious sergeants.

But there are exceptions among them. Some families do not have sons and daughters who have achieved great achievements, and they are not even military sergeants, but they all come here. They didn't just come here to join in the fun, but they had another mission.

"The young general in white, riding the yellow gelding, quickly, quickly go and stop the man! You must not let him get away, bring him home, go quickly, go quickly!"

On the carriage behind the crowd, someone stood directly on the roof of the carriage to get a more realistic view. After taking a closer look, he pointed at the group of sergeants who had just left the camp and shouted loudly.

After the slaves in front of the car heard this shouting, they immediately rushed into the crowd, squeezed to the front, and finally got close to the sergeant chosen by their master. Just as they were about to step forward to pull the bridle, someone beside them However, several powerful slaves rushed out, surrounded this man, and shouted angrily with a vigilant face: "Who is this naughty slave, how dare you harass my Alang!"

"We, didn't, misunderstood... My lord is the Xu Ming Mansion of Jingzhao Mansion, because I saw that my husband is very handsome..."

After hearing this, the few slaves who were stopped and reprimanded quickly bowed their waists and explained with smiling faces. However, the other servants did not listen to their explanations and followed the knight to go in the other direction. .

The knight on the war horse glared and shouted: "Whose servant are you waiting for? Could it be that you recognized the wrong master? I don't know you..."

"Oops! These naughty slaves are cheating!"

The slaves who were previously feeling annoyed that they had not fulfilled their master's instructions suddenly came to their senses after hearing this. They were very angry and rushed forward again, vowing to snatch the slaves from the hands of those deceitful guys. return.

Similar situations happened frequently. Many people who gathered outside the camp were not there to greet their families at all, but seemed to be robbing them.

The sergeants who were robbed also looked at a loss. If these people had malicious intentions, they would naturally not be afraid. Behind them was the Shayuan Camp, and they were men of great merit who fought hard in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. , you won’t be kidnapped and harmed in front of the camp. However, these people didn't seem to have any malicious intent at all, and they were all very respectful to them. However, they were very fierce when they fought with each other, as if they had some deep hatred.

An impatient person revealed the reason in one word and pulled the bridle rope of his war horse and shouted loudly: "Mr. Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I am not a nuisance to you. I am here to serve as a nuisance to you. I am here to give you a good match by my lord's order! I have a young lady named Wen in my family." You are a gentle and virtuous man who is loved and cherished by your lord and mistress. He is a hero who has made great contributions to the country. He is a talented man who has been selected and treated by the king of Tang Dynasty. It would be an honor for my wife to marry you!"

It's just that there are too many people here who want to send a good match. At first, everyone only paid attention to their eyes and made a short selection. However, when they saw other people with the same intention being so enthusiastic, they couldn't bear it. After a while, he immediately became more active and soon switched from selecting to grabbing.

Although these warriors who left the camp were all strong soldiers in the army, when they were caught in the looting of the people, they couldn't help but feel a little scared for a while. Those who were walking at the front had no idea where they were being carried away by the crowd, while the sergeants at the rear simply turned their horses back to camp when they saw the chaotic scene ahead, not daring to move forward any further.

Because the meritorious warriors were to be honored today, Li Tai did not leave the camp at the moment. When he saw the warriors who had already left the camp and were about to go home, but returned in embarrassment, he was naturally a little surprised. And when he learned the cause of the matter, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Each era has its own fashions and values. In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations flourished and scholar-bureaucrats were highly respected, so there was a phenomenon of catching a son-in-law under the examination. Now, in the current chaotic world, the king of the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to martial arts, so this kind of situation appears in front of the camp. The phenomenon of catching a son-in-law is also a matter of course.

But when he saw the frightened expressions of the returning sergeants, Li Tai couldn't help but feel evil in his heart. His elite soldiers were all over the world and were invincible. However, when he returned to Guanzhong, he was surrounded by his father-in-law because they were too enthusiastic. I can’t even go home!

After laughing, the problem still has to be solved. Although this is not a bad thing, Li Tai is also happy to see the social status and social competitiveness of the soldiers and soldiers improved, but if a similar situation is completely ignored, it will inevitably breed a series of social problems.

Disputes such as looting in front of the camp are just trivial matters, but if things like discarding the chaff, marrying multiple women, or cheating on money and sex occur as a result, it will undoubtedly have a great negative impact on social ethics and morality. When a society's morals decline, then the related beliefs, ambitions, integrity, etc. will inevitably disappear, and if these are gone, credibility will be nothing.

Therefore, while Li Tai ordered people out of the camp to control the situation and maintain order, he also asked people to record the matter. Later, when the Bafu was discussing matters, they would discuss legislation and coordinate the management of military marriage matters.

There can be little or no control over newly formed marriages, because any supervision will add obstacles to the establishment of relationships, and the administrative power of the overlord is not generous enough to waste it on such trivial issues at will.

However, for established and consummated marriages, sufficient protection must be provided. Sufficient protection and restraint must be given to both the man and the woman. The military and government must try their best to prevent the occurrence of ethical crimes. In truly serious situations, They will be beheaded and punished by military law.

The farce of catching the son-in-law in front of the camp was just an episode in the context of a great victory in the war. This great victory in the war against the Northern Qi Dynasty will take a long time to consolidate and digest, both in terms of actual material and psychological construction and results.

The soldiers of the army took off their armor and returned home, continuing to convey the joy of the victory to the countryside. As the leader of Bafu, Li Tai did not have much time to continue to enjoy and savor the aftertaste of victory. After returning to Bafu, there was a series of military and political issues waiting for him to deal with.

Even the standard Jiajiuxi for powerful ministers was granted by Emperor Yuan Kuo when he came to Shangyang Palace to announce it. It was not that Li Tai wanted to entrust him with it, but that he really did not have time to make a special trip to Chang'an for this matter.

After dealing with the rewards for meritorious soldiers, Li Tai had to deal with another equally important issue, which was to select and dispatch officials to the newly developed territories to govern the land.

After a war, the territory between the Western Wei and Northern Qi also underwent new changes. The northwest of Shanxi was bounded by Queshu Valley. From then on, all the south went back to the Western Wei, and the east was basically bounded by Qinshui, except in Another piece of Jianzhou protrudes from the southern part of the Taihang Mountains. From Jianzhou downwards, it is bounded by Qinshui River, all the way to the entire Heluo River.

The Heluo area is bounded by Hulao City in Yuzhou in the north, and all in the west belongs to the Western Wei Dynasty. Further down in the Henan area, the two sides were bounded by the Huaihe River. Huaibei was still owned by the Northern Qi, while Huainan belonged to the Western Wei and Nanchen, of course mainly the Western Wei.

The expansion of these territories is not small in nature, and most of them are still located in the core areas of the perennial confrontation between the two sides. Therefore, they must not be handled carelessly and must be carefully digested. Only in this way can the results of the battle be fully consolidated and a solid foundation be laid for the next stage of the war.

He also knew very well that at the moment, Northern Qi must be holding its breath, just waiting for its domestic situation to be sorted out and initially stabilized, before it would raise troops to take revenge. Then it depends on who is more efficient, can recover blood faster, and has the power to fight earlier.

Whether the Northern Qi family has a strong family background and can take a break to avenge its past humiliation, or the Western Wei Dynasty has its destiny to completely eliminate this old enemy once and for all. The answer will surely be revealed soon.
