Chapter 3365： 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.
