    Looking at the stage with piercing eyes, the bodies that were shaking due to the north wind stopped moving. Everyone's body was straightened up, with deep reverence on their faces.  Both officers and soldiers, facing the figure on the general stage, had a bit of fanaticism in their eyes.  Looking back at a few people, Sun Chengzong nodded seriously. When he saw Chen Hong, he smiled slightly.  Sun Chengzong still had a good impression of this old eunuch, and none of the eunuchs reused by Emperor Tianqi seemed to be annoying.  Sun Chengzong suddenly had this idea in his mind. Needless to say, Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, had always been close to the civil servants and was a rare good eunuch.  Although Chen Hong in front of him was usually serious and serious, he was not sloppy at all when it came to matters of right and wrong.  Then there is Eunuch Wei from Dongchang, who is also very humble.  Sun Chengzong sighed in his heart. He felt that what kind of emperor would use what kind of ministers would make the Ming Dynasty prosperous!  The day of restoration of glory is not far away.  Looking at the energetic soldiers below, Sun Chengzong nodded with satisfaction. As long as this thing can be done, he will definitely be able to train a powerful army.  "Sir, the weather is getting colder, is it starting?" Xiong Tingbi said as he walked to Sun Chengzong's side.  Nodding slightly, Sun Chengzong said with a serious face: "Read the emperor's imperial edict first, and let the guards around you shout it loudly. In addition, are all the people I asked you to prepare ready?" "My lord, everyone is ready."  Get ready! They are all reliable people!" Xiong Tingbi bowed and said humbly. He respected Sun Chengzong from the bottom of his heart, not because of his status.  "Then let's get started!" As he spoke, Sun Chengzong turned his eyes to Chen Hong, who was aside, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Chen, you should read out this imperial edict!" Chen Hong on the other side was slightly startled, it was Emperor Tianqi giving Sun Chengzong  It is appropriate for Sun Chengzong to read the imperial edict.  But when he saw the smile on Sun Chengzong's face, he understood in his heart that he was trying to borrow his identity!  He is now the eunuch in charge of the army in Liaodong and the eunuch in charge of rituals. The whole Liaodong knows that he is the emperor's confidant and deeply trusted by the emperor.  If the imperial edict is read by himself, the credibility will be much higher. Looking at the smiling Sun Chengzong, Chen Hong couldn't help but smile.  This old man looks upright and upright, but he has learned all the tricks in officialdom!  "Since Mr. Sun has said this, we have to be respectful rather than obey your orders!" Smiling, Chen Hong held up the imperial edict in his hand and stood facing south, with the incense table already prepared on one side.  "Declaration!" Chen Hong shouted loudly, and the guards on one side repeated it loudly. Hundreds of people shouted together, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.  Although the north wind was blowing loudly and tens of thousands of people stood on the military field, they could all hear clearly.  He quickly lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground. Naturally, no one dared to make a mistake. Sun Chengzong led Xiong Tingbi and others to kneel in front of the incense table.  With a serious face, Chen Hong read out the imperial edict of Emperor Tianqi in a different way. Naturally, the soldiers could not understand what was being said, but the generals did.  Many people had gloomy faces, their eyes were constantly wandering around, and there was sweat on their foreheads on a cold day.  Some people are anxious. Although they don¡¯t have much money now, they can still make thousands of taels of income every year by drinking soldiers¡¯ blood.  It is naturally a small number compared to corrupt officials, but everyone in my family is pointing to this!  If the system is changed, I'm afraid there will be fewer such opportunities.  However, some generals also looked disapproving. They originally had a recruitment system, which was different from the officers and soldiers of the guards.  Whether they change or not has little impact on them, and the division of land probably has nothing to do with them.  On the contrary, they looked at the original guard officers with gloating faces. Some of them were still wondering whether these people were going to stage a mutiny or something. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ªIf trouble really occurs, it might be an opportunity for people like me to make meritorious deeds.  The soldiers were basically confused. After hearing the cloud cover, they all looked around in confusion.  "Gather all the officers together, I have something to say!" Sun Chengzong glanced at the Jin Yiwei beside him and ordered in a serious tone.  Emperor Tianqi dropped a team of Jin Yiwei to follow Sun Chengzong. Now it is time to use them. Compared to his own soldiers, the Jin Yiwei is much more intimidating.  "Yes, sir!" The Jinyi Guards would naturally not go against Sun Chengzong's wishes. Luo Sigong made it clear that they were first to protect Sun Chengzong, and secondly, to solve some inconvenient problems for Sun Chengzong.  Seeing the Jin Yiwei appearing in front of him, the generals' faces became serious, and they were all murmuring in their hearts.  After looking around, he could only follow Jin Yiwei. After all, no one dared to act rashly at this time.  These people didn't necessarily have the courage to rebel. If they started a mutiny, they would probably be killed on the spot.     look backGlancing at Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong ordered: "Let's start!" "Yes, sir!" He answered respectfully. Xiong Tingbi waved to a guard behind him and ordered: "Let everyone come out!" It didn't take long.  , four teams of people walked out from the four directions of the school field. They didn't look like many, with only a few hundred people in each team.  They were all wearing bodyguard armor, and each of them had a scroll in their hands. They were holding it in their hands and couldn't tell what it was.  However, there is also a gong hanging on his arm, which makes people look a little confused.  When these people walked into the military training field, no one stayed. They immediately dispersed and each found a position to catch the wind.  Li Datou was an ordinary guard soldier and a veteran of Saarhu. When he saw that all the generals were called away, he started to murmur in his heart.  Seeing a person holding a scroll not far from him, he quickly approached him.  I saw the man waving to two people, asking them to drag the scroll, and then opened the scroll.  Li Datou frowned when he saw the dense words on it.  However, the man seemed confident. He picked up the gong in his hand and struck it. As he struck it, he said: "Take a look, take a look. Don't miss it if you pass by. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life! I want to know what the imperial edict says.  , If you want to know what the emperor wants us to do, come here and listen!" At this time, the entire teaching military field was filled with shouts, and the originally solemn teaching military field suddenly became lively, like a noisy market.  "Okay, we're almost here, you start talking!" Li Datou looked at the man and said impatiently.  The man nodded with a smile, put the gong aside, and said: "The emperor's imperial edict said one thing, that is, the guard system in Liaodong will be changed to a recruiting system. Brothers who have military status in the future, you will not  Once you have military status, the court will allocate land to you, and you can live like a normal citizen." After hearing what the man said, everyone was stunned. Li Datou's face was in disbelief, and his body was trembling.  In this era, people with military status are not only not a good thing, but also live at the bottom of society.  They have been in the military for generations, and their descendants are endless, and no one can escape.  When there is no war, they have to farm, and they are no different from ordinary people.  But there is another difference here. The land belongs to the guards, and all the food they grow has to be turned in. Their lives are not as good as those of tenant farmers.  That means not having enough to eat and not having enough clothes to wear.  When there is a war, you have to go to the battlefield. Most men die in battle.  If you want to end your life, you can only think about it.  "Remove our military status? Give us land? Are you lying to us?" Looking at the man, Li Datou asked with disbelief on his face and trembling lips.  "What are you talking about? This is what the emperor's imperial edict says. Anyone who pretends to have an imperial edict will be killed. This is the imperial edict that was just read out. Don't talk nonsense!" The man glared at Li Datou fiercely.  He said with a threatening look on his face.  ??He nodded quickly, Li Datou was also in disbelief, and his face was full of joy at this time.  "How will the land be divided?" asked another person on the side. Apparently he had understood the matter and was now concerned about the land.  "Starting from tomorrow, the land will be weighed based on the number of thousands of households. Then according to the amount of land, it will be divided into the hands of each person according to the head, and the land deed will be written in person. From now on, this will be your land. It can be owned by generations.  Pass it on and it can be used as an heirloom for your family," the man said loudly with a smile on his face.  The people present immediately cheered. They never thought that one day they would have land.  Now that it has been confirmed, they are naturally very happy, and some people have already cried with joy.  "We have all gone to important places, so who will be the soldier?" Li Datou lowered his head and thought for a while before asking this question with a trace of doubt on his face.  Everyone¡¯s eyes looked at that person again, with a bit of worry on their faces. After all, someone has to be a soldier.  There are many people here who want to be soldiers, and they cannot live without the army.  "This is a good question, brother. The emperor's imperial edict also said that after the land is divided, you will be free. Those who want to farm can go back to farm, and if they want to be soldiers, you can also continue to serve as soldiers. Every day in the court  Generous pay will be paid every month, and of course there will be no arrears. If there are soldiers in the family, they can be exempted from corvee and so on. These will be mentioned later. If you achieve military merit, you will not only be rewarded, but you can also be promoted.  Make the commander-in-chief a general!" The man had a smile on his face and kept gesticulating with his hands.  Li Datou's heart suddenly became hot, and his face lit up with excitement. He had money and an official position.  I used to fight, and I still fight now, but this fight is different from fighting.  At this time, the teaching military field was filled with cheers and cheers.Some people want to go back to farming, and some want to have a great future.  In short, everyone understands that in the future, they are no longer bound by military status, they can do more things, and their sons can legitimately take the top prize in school.  (To be continued.
