Chapter 3368: The men in Beiqi are going to die

"Take this." Yundai handed him a crane talisman made of black jade. "With

this, you can command the army."

This was originally something belonging to Xiao Ziye, but later it fell into

the little second hand and gave it to Mingcheng. It was searched out by Jun

Qingbai and finally returned to Yundai.

Wei Jintai solemnly took the crane talisman and bowed to Yundai to salute

Yundai: "The minister will live up to the trust of the Queen Mother."

Although he didn't say it clearly, he took the crane amulet, which meant that

he became a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

From the stubborn and thin boy who was exiled and fought with wild wolves, to

the guards in the palace, the guards commanded him, he was promoted all the

way to the general today.

The boy who was once ignorant and fearless wolf has transformed into a stable

and reliable man.

Wei Jintai's growth along this road is obvious to all, and it can be called a

counterattack by the son of a criminal.

After spending half a month, Wei Jintai plunged in, almost never coming back.

At any rate, it is to clarify the military situation.

He kept coming to see Yun Dai and Zhao Yuanjing to report on the situation.

Yundai saw his unshaven beard, her eyes turned blue, knowing that he hadn't

rested well, she reached out and poured him a cup of tea, "Sit down and say

slowly."

Wei Jintai smiled and said: "The minister is not tired, but the things are

complicated and some headaches."

"Tell me."

"The situation is not very good." Wei Jintai handed over a list. "Look, my

mother, this is the statistics from the Zhechong Prefecture of the various

prefectures ordered by the minister."

Yun Dai took it and took a look, and handed it to Zhao Yuanjing.

Looking at these data, Zhao Yuanjing is still good.

Zhao Yuanjing flipped through it for a moment, frowned and said, "So many

people died?"

Wei Jintai nodded, with a serious expression: "All the prefectures are not

complete. According to their statistics, the number of males in each

prefecture is 60 to 70% less than two years ago."

To put it simply, if there were 100,000 men in the prime of life in a mansion,

less than half of them are left after the consumption of this war.

Wei Jintai said again: "The minister also went to a few counties. It is indeed

ten rooms and nine empty spaces. Most of the peasant households are left alone

and widows, women and young children."

According to the current military system, soldiers are recruited during

battles, and they are disbanded when they are finished, and they are sent home

to cultivate the fields.

People rely on food as their heaven, and they need a lot of labor to grow and

cultivate the land.

Without people farming, there will be no food, and without food, more people

will starve to death.

Looking at this list, Yun Dai seemed to see that soon after, Bei Qi was hungry

and killed everywhere.

She shivered.

"I now declare that from today on, except for the standing army in the

capital, all the other imperial troops, guards, government soldiers, local

regiment training soldiers, and clan soldiers will be disbanded for me! Let

them all go home, farm, and take care of them. Old man and child!"

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Your move is too big, it may cause a rebound."

"I also know that you have to do things slowly, not to be rushed. But you have

also seen the situation in the North Qi. The number of males is drastically

reduced, the farmland is barren, and the cultivated land is abandoned. This is

not good. If you leave it alone, the men of the North Qi will die. Up."

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Atay, you push down according to her order first and see

how you react."

Wei Jintai really went.

Sure enough, it was strongly protested.

In doing so, too many people's cakes and interests have been touched.

Among them, the regiments and regiments in various provinces and local

governments had the greatest response.

Yun Dai said that she was about to disband the army. This was an unabashedly

stealing of the power from them. It was strange that they were not eager.
