Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chang Lin, who was standing beside her, turned a little green. Your father is kind and filial, can you let me leave first?Is there anyone like you?As long as I have a choice, I don't want to serve you two, it's scary!

Okay, I just talked about the abolition of the prince before, but now, you two have already started discussing rebellion, right?The point is... Your Highness King Shu is really a tiger, don't you know how His Majesty came to power?You dare to say this directly.

Question... Although His Majesty kicked His Highness the King of Shu, it was obviously not in an angry way.

You are too double standard, why didn't I see you do the same to other princes?What?You said that no other prince would dare to talk to Li Shimin like that?Oh, that's all right.

"Hey, then I can't say it in front of other people, I'm not stupid." Li Ke laughed twice, and said quickly.

"Okay, that's it. I'll send troops to find you later." Li Shimin said.

"Father, forget it, I don't want so many guards." Li Ke thought for a while, and then said, he probably guessed what Li Shimin was thinking, probably because he was afraid that the powerful family would be unfavorable to him?

This is not something unimaginable. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was these powerful people who took the lead in rebelling.

"Your wings are stiff now, and what I say doesn't work, right?" Li Shimin squinted at him and said.

Li Ke's heart skipped a beat. Li Shimin, who is squinting his eyes, is the scariest thing. It wouldn't be so scary if he glared at you with joy and anger.

"No, no, how about this, my son will also share your worries, and you can give me some injured and disabled retired soldiers." Li Ke hurriedly said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and Li Ke immediately turned his attention away.

Here I have to talk about the military system of the Tang Dynasty. The so-called military system is actually what I mentioned before. Under the premise of the land equalization system, every adult man who owns Yongye Tian has to serve for one year every few years. two years.

This is true of all places in the entire Tang Dynasty!When there is a war, the government soldiers will be directly transferred to serve.So in theory... all the people in the Tang Dynasty were soldiers, especially after the first few years, almost all the young and strong men in the Tang Dynasty had joined the army, and these men went home to farm to support themselves when there was no war I don't need extra expenditure from the court.

It can not only guarantee a certain combat effectiveness, but also has a terrifying force without spending extra money. This is why the combat effectiveness of the early Tang Dynasty is so fierce.

However, before the Anshi Rebellion, due to the rapid increase in population and serious land annexation in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of officials, gentry, and clans annexed too much land, and the land in the world was not enough. This is also one of the reasons for the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

The Tang Dynasty itself has a very perfect way of dealing with soldiers. The "Law of the Tang Dynasty" stipulates: All Ding craftsmen are in service and prisoners are on guard. If officials, slaves and maidservants are sick, if the master does not ask for medical treatment, he will be punished forty times. ; For those who cause death, they will be punished for one year.

That is to say, whether serving on the battlefield or on the frontier, if a soldier is injured and fails to receive timely assistance, his superior will be punished.If death occurs, the person responsible will be directly sentenced to one year in prison.

In addition, all the armies of the Tang Dynasty had specialized medical officers, including the Imperial Medical Office of the Tang Dynasty. It was not for the emperor and the harem to treat doctors later, but a considerable number of medical officers were responsible for the treatment of the army.

For wounded soldiers, Datang generally rewarded money, cloth, etc., and then rewarded farm tools and cattle, and also reduced or exempted taxes, especially in corvee.

In addition, for some wounded soldiers who can't go to the battlefield but still have spare energy, Datang will arrange these soldiers in local defense, security positions, and eat public meals.

Local government servants and military officials are all from these soldiers.

But even so, because Datang had just wiped out the Eastern Turks, and there were still many wars, the number of injuries was huge, which was also a huge burden for Datang.Li Ke alone knows that there are many soldiers in Chang'an City who are supported by the imperial court, but their positions cannot be arranged for the time being.

"It's those soldiers who need to be arranged, who are already wounded and unsuitable for the battlefield. You get it for me. First, they also have certain combat effectiveness. It should still be possible to protect me. Second, after our welfare industrial park gradually gets on the right track, inside There are many refugees and beggars, and people are needed to maintain law and order."

"This will also give them a chance to play their remaining heat, so that they will not become a burden on the court, and it will also just protect my safety." Li Ke said with a smile.

Li Shimin is silent, those people are hot potatoes, but they have fought for the Tang Dynasty, killed the enemy, and made meritorious service. The court cannot ignore their existence, but there has never been an official, a prince willing to help them in the name of private .

"Are you sure?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and said.

"Well, father, you can just give me all. How many people are there in total? I'll see if I can eat them all." Li Ke nodded and said.

Li Shimin took a deep breath: "I told you in advance that although they have a certain combat effectiveness, they are all disabled, and they are definitely not as good as elite soldiers."

"Oh, Dad, I see, can I not know what those soldiers look like? But there is a saying that is good, they don't need the people of Datang to know them, and they don't need the people of Datang to know them, but Datang Tang's Mountain knows them, Jiang He knows them, and Datang will never forget them."

"As the prince of Datang, I have this obligation." Li Ke shrugged.

Well said!Li Shimin wanted to praise at first, but he held back his words. This kid... just shines brightly with some sunshine, so he can't boast.

"I've asked someone to prepare the armor for them, and I'll send it to you." Li Shimin took a deep breath and said.

"No, I don't want it." Li Ke quickly waved his hand, "I'd better go and buy an iron ore by myself, and make iron for them to equip. Your armor is reserved for the soldiers on the battlefield."

"Okay!" Li Shimin agreed. Just like what Li Ke said, the iron and salt in Datang are not monopolized by the state, but privately operated, so Li Ke naturally has the right to buy iron ore and make iron.

"Is there any other request?" Li Shimin asked again.

"It's gone, Dad, I'll go back and ground my feet." Li Ke couldn't wait.

Seeing him like this... Li Shimin's originally gratified mood became a little angry, can't you be a little bit promising? !That's right, Li Shimin grounded Li Ke outside the city on purpose, because Li Shimin knew that this kid liked to stay outside the city and didn't like going to court, so he grounded him outside the city in the name of punishment.

Otherwise, if Li Shimin really wanted to be punished, he would be grounded directly in the palace, and he would be allowed to run outside the city?Isn't that letting the dog for a walk, let go?

"Oh, by the way, Dad, I made an agreement with Changle and the others yesterday that I want to take them to play, but today I am grounded, and I can't take them to play, or you can let them go to my village outside the city to play for two days , so that it’s not good to be bored in the palace every day.” Li Ke thought of something again, and hurriedly said that he had discussed with the three girls yesterday that he could not let the pigeons go.

"Okay, I understand, but you go back first, and I will arrange someone." Li Shimin sneered, he likes his sister, right?very good!I will send it to you.
