Many people deeply hate empty pay. For ordinary people, when it comes to military corruption, empty pay is an unavoidable aspect.
It's just that a corruption has persisted for many years, and no matter the change of dynasties or the rotation of emperors, its existence has not been shaken. It is absolutely unrealistic to just explain it with a convention. The so-called existence is reasonable, and empty wages also have its own meaning.
On the battlefield, with men roaring and horses neighing, swords flying and arrows raining like rain, even if it is not a melee but an encounter, there will more or less be attrition, that is, casualties.
The situation on the battlefield is complicated and complex. In addition to casualties in frontal combat, there are also many situations such as attrition due to illness, getting lost on the way, even escaping in the dark while on the way, or rebelling and surrendering to the enemy.
The existence of these two situations, desertion and rebellion, caused major dynasties to only calculate the casualties of soldiers whose names could be recorded when providing post-war pensions.
For other examples where the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, such as being trampled by war horses and turning into minced meat, or being pierced by thousands of arrows and turned into a hedgehog, such cases are generally not counted and are treated as missing.
The word "missing" is worth pondering. Who knows if you are really dead or if you rebelled and escaped. It would be fine if your family members were not punished, but you still want to receive compensation. It is simply wishful thinking.
The shortcomings of the post-war pension system were mainly due to the fact that the assessment methods were extremely backward and could not fully distinguish between those who died in battle and those who rebelled and escaped. In the case of extremely limited finances, they could only discard them all.
Yes, the last sentence is the key point, finances are extremely limited.
War is a continuation of politics. Regardless of the so-called reasons for attacking the people, it is all about land and population, or money and food. If you don't get money and food, you must first pay a large post-war pension. No dynasty would do such a stupid thing.
Therefore, the rise and fall of a dynasty is not a good thing for ordinary people. That is to say: when it rises, the people suffer, and when it dies, the people suffer.
Going back to the previous topic, the existence of free pay is, to a certain extent, a continuation of the pension system. After generals receive free pay, they will be given to those who died in battle but could not receive pensions through transfer payments.
family.
Without this transfer payment, many families’ sons have left, their husbands have died, their fathers have disappeared, and there are no young and strong laborers. Most of the women in the family have fallen into prostitution. This is a common occurrence in major dynasties. It is simply a tragedy in the world.
Generally speaking, those generals are willing to make this transfer payment, perform their duties for the country, and can also win over people's hearts and enhance the combat effectiveness of their men.
However, whether the empty salary can be transferred to the public or not depends on the general's thoughts. It is a moral requirement rather than legal compulsion. If the general does not carry out this transfer payment, no one can blame him harshly, because this is originally
It's not his responsibility.
Some controlling emperors were worried about the expansion of their generals, and even intentionally blocked this transfer payment. It is self-evident who suffered in the end.
This is not to whitewash empty pay, which is one of the means of corruption. It is also egregious military corruption that endangers the survival of the country and should be despised and despised by everyone.
The government is throwing away the burden and does not want to compensate those soldiers who died in the war. The existence of empty pay has its rationality, but it cannot continue forever. With the changes in war methods and the advancement of assessment methods, empty pay will also be thrown into the garbage of history.
bag.
After receiving the military orders, Wu Yi returned to the house where his grandfather worked hard in Chenliu County and rested for a while. The military orders were like mountains and the army was like fire. Wu Yi was only given a few days to rush to the front line.
After retrieving the token containing his magic power, Wu Yi once again felt the power he had not seen for a long time. He was completely powerless before. Facing Xu Qinqian, Wu Yi was like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.
Now that he has magic power, Wu Yi looks at the imperial envoy Xu who is temporarily staying in the county government office. He feels that he is like a bright and scorching sun, and the great fortune of the dynasty is gathered into him. Not to mention walking in front of him, even looking at him from a distance, he is stunned.
Wu Yi was in a trance.
When Wu Yi stared at the county government office, Commissioner Xu who was at the county government office frowned slightly. He felt someone was peeping outside and snorted coldly. The Daji Dynasty was a humane dynasty, but there were also many ghosts and weird people. Commissioner Xu could do this.
Naturally, I know a lot about the position. With the awe-inspiring righteousness in me, why should I be afraid of evil spirits and heretics?
This dissatisfaction, borrowed by the luck of the dynasty, came back. Wu Yi groaned, his blood surged, and his face flushed. For a moment, he couldn't even stand still, and he no longer dared to peek at Envoy Xu.
After not feeling the sense of prying eyes, Imperial Commissioner Xu went to bed and rested as usual. Once luck took care of him, he didn't need anyone to guard him at all.
What's more, at this moment, he has an imperial decree and is an imperial envoy. The pressure is even greater. It is not possible for ordinary people to resist. That is to say, Wu Yi has a destiny star chart and the title of centurion to offset part of the pressure.
, otherwise the cave will collapse and the soul will be scattered at this moment.
Is it scary? Liubu Tang Zun is equivalent to a god in the world, that is, the Taichu Immortal in the Immortal Way. If you have the holy intention in your body, that means you have the oral instructions of the Supreme Immortal Taiyi in your body.
Humanity is so powerful that many monks despise it, especially this first-rate Humanity dynasty.
At night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, a wisp of gloomy wind blew by. Many days later, Shen Congyue visited Wu Yi again.
Wu Yi also expected that Shen Cong would come to visit on a date, so he waited specially tonight.
When Shen Congyue met him for the first time, he thanked him profusely. If Wu Yi and his party had not gone to Yangmin Mansion and caused a disturbance, leading the government and the public to sympathize with the changes in Chenliu County, Chenliu County would never have been treated so well, and many people would have been killed or injured.
Wave talents can do it.
Wu Yi did not refuse and accepted this gift as a matter of course.
"What are your plans next?" Wu Yi asked. Shen Congyue's priesthood was to punish corrupt officials. With the way the Daji Dynasty dealt with Chenliu County, the turbulent people's hearts here were stabilized.
This is not a good thing for Shen Congyue. No one will worship her, and she will gradually die.
Shen Congyue bowed to Wu Yifu and submitted in a straightforward manner: "I will obey the orders of the real person!"
Wu Yi smiled lightly, that's not what he meant! But there is no need to explain at this moment, it's not important anyway.
"There are a lot of corruption cases in the army. If you join the army with me, you will have great potential!" Wu Yi said.
"Um!"
"In the past few days, you should put some thought into turning all the hundreds of people under my command into your believers! If there is an opportunity in the future, I will also help you expand your faith in the army!" There are visible benefits ahead.
The latter is a future benefit, which is nothing to Wu Yi, but to Shen Congyue, it is the basis of his survival.
After chatting for a few more words, Shen Congyue left calmly and was ready to go.
