Looking back at the east, the majestic Weiyang Palace stands in the sunshine of the first month.
On the dark red palace wall, the black dragon flag fluttered.
Liu Che looked at the thick list of fallen soldiers in front of him, and couldn't help but feel bitter.
This is the final battle damage report of the Zhidu Department that has just been sent to Chang'an from Taiyuan.
Before the expedition, the Zhidu Department had a total of more than 15,000 troops.
But now, only more than 7,000 people are still alive.
The others have slept forever on the battlefield of Heyin.
In addition to the army, in order to provide supplies to the Zhidu army and maintain supply roads.
The people and soldiers of the dynasty also paid a heavy price.
More than 3,000 were killed, more than 7,000 were wounded, and at least 2,000 were forced to have their limbs permanently amputated Before and during the war, a total of 15,000 cattle, 7,000 mules and more than 3,000 horses were requisitioned and mobilized in order to transport grain, grass and supplies.
However, after the war, less than half of them made it back to the Great Wall alive.
For the victory of the Battle of Heyin, the Zhidu Department and the counties of Daishang paid a heavy price.
The price is even enough to break the bones.
"Daishang" Liu Che read the name of the place and looked at the Daishang area on the map.
The Daishang region, as the name suggests, is Daiguo and Shangjun.
Among them, Shangjun is the most famous key poverty-stricken area in China.
Since the Han Dynasty, even a rogue leader like Liu Bang was embarrassed to collect the manuscript tax, and since the Empress Lu, there have been various exemptions and exemptions from local taxes, and Liu Che even simply exempted the local manuscript tax and all conscription except for military service and missionary service, and the field tax was constant at 30 taxes and 1, and half of the local taxes were collected.
And Daiguo is no better.
I think that back then, when Liu Che's grandfather Emperor Taizong was the current king, he couldn't even light a candle in the dignified kingdom, and he didn't even have a decent royal robe, so he could only rely on the Empress Dowager Bo to sew it out with a needle and a thread.
Even, even today's Empress Dowager Dou, in that difficult period, is said to have personally farmed the land Therefore, to this day, in the Han court, the concubines still have to master the cultivation of vegetables, picking mushrooms and ganoderma lucidum, as well as mastering the techniques of weaving and weaving.
Among them, there is the influence of the tradition since Taizong, but it is not that the concubines of Taizong have suffered enough in Daidi, and they are afraid that they will return to that terrible situation one day.
It's like the Jews who survived the Nazi concentration camps after World War II.
Forever insecure, always stuffing your fridge and cellar with food.
Even if the Empress Dowager Dou was blind, she insisted on letting her maids and attendants cultivate the land and weave cloth and spin threads.
And although Empress Dowager Bo has not experienced such a situation, she is not bad.
Basically, except for the court clothes, the other regular clothes are woven by themselves to raise silkworms.
Although the economy of Daiguo has developed over the years, it is no longer the poor and remote country where even the nobles of the palace were hungry.
However, after more than 30 years of development, the local economic conditions are only barely enough to provide food and clothing.
However, this war has almost all the fruits of the past few decades of recuperation in the Daishang region.
Liu Che naturally knew that he had to make amends.
"Let's make an edict" Liu Che instructed Ji Di: "I have heard of it: there must be faithfulness in the city of the ten chambers, three people in parallel, there are soldiers and civilians in the current generation of my division, loyal to the king, I am very happy with his edict, and the resignation of the entire territory of the Dai is exempted from the five-year-old oral endowment, and there is no division to levy it" "Today, the heart of a loyal and righteous man mourns his father's loneliness or lack of food and clothing, and he is very pitiful.
After sending Maoling to order the ministers to patrol the festival on behalf of the people, and after asking the loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, the father of the deceased ministers said: The emperor and the ministers respectfully asked the fathers: There is no worry about food and clothing, no worries about going to school, no worries about the suffering of money, and there are worries about the lack of suffering, and the messenger hears about it, and the county and township are broken."
This is almost similar to a later generation of leaders who went to the old revolutionary base areas to inspect similar performances.
Basically, it will only solve some of the existing problems, or find a few typical ones, brush up on the sense of existence, and win the hearts of the people.
This method, the Liu family has played more than once since Taizong, and it can be said to be handy.
Of course, Liu Che's decision was slightly more generous than his fathers and ancestors, and he was also a little more generous.
But in fact, it is also with selfishness and purpose.
Daishang area is one of the future cotton textile raw material bases selected by Liu Che, and it is the largest basic plate of Liu's second only to Guanzhong.
For the Liu family, Guanzhong is the foundation and the generation of Yanmen, the right north of Longyou, is the confidant.
In particular, the Daishang area is still the hometown of Taizong and the place of the hidden dragon.
The local people's hearts and military hearts have always been towards Liu Che's department.
Taizong's bloodline has always been calming the local area.
Back then, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, also served as the acting king Not to mention, it is also the most important source of soldiers and the best training place in China For the Han regime, winning the hearts and minds of the people and the army in Guanzhong and the north was the best way to stabilize the regime and maintain its rule.
As for the landlord class in the South Ahem, Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out in three years, and if these guys did, they wouldn't be able to do anything in thirty years Therefore, in Liu Che's eyes, their problems are insignificant.
"Nuo" Ji Di nodded and took the order, and was about to draft the edict, but Liu Che stopped him and said: "As soon as the coffin of the fallen soldiers of the Zhidu Department arrives in the suburbs of Beijing, I will immediately inform the general to welcome him."

Not only to welcome them in person, but also to hold a grand and unprecedented state funeral, so that these heroes can get the honor and status they deserve.
It's just that The only fly in the ointment is that the coffins that returned this time are all officers above the team rate, and even the coffins of the team leaders are very few.
Those who can be transported back to Chang'an in a coffin situation are destined to be high-ranking officers.
As for the ordinary big-headed soldiers and lower-level officers, they can only be cremated and return to Chang'an with ashes.
There's no way around it.
It is even more limited to the limitations of the times and the cost of the matter.
Of course, Liu Che wants these heroes to enjoy the honor of being carried back by the soldiers of the three armies under the black dragon flag of the Han Dynasty.
But to do so, the cost is too great.
Although they are heroes, they are dead after all.
The dead can't compete with the living for resources.
After all, the current Han dynasty and the current China are far from being generous and developed enough to squander a lot of resources.
Moreover, the Han dynasty was a feudal society.
The biggest characteristic of feudal society is that it has a clear hierarchy.
If the soldiers are all in the coffin and go home, the dragon flag will cover the coffin.
What treatment should the team leader, Sima, captain, lieutenant, and even general enjoy?
Take dozens of tons of gold and make coffins for them t1706231537:
