Chapter 149 Jian (six)
Wang Jian was one of the first people to serve the Qin Wangzheng, so he was the most trustworthy of the Qin King. He gave priority to Wang Jian to do many things that the Qin King thought were important and could obtain personal benefits.
But there are some things that Wang Jian himself cannot do.
One is the issue of qualifications, and the other is the issue of ability.
The battle of destroying a country is a matter of both.
Because Wang Jian is still less than forty years old this year, among the generals, he is young no matter what.
And his ability... cannot be said to be insufficient, at least, unstable.
A major event like destroying a country cannot tolerate any variables.
Therefore, although everyone knows that in this war, Wang Jian is the one who really wants to destroy the country and earnestly earn the history of the story, the commander is still not Wang Jian, but Meng Wu, who has more war experience and family background than him.
Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, as well as Qiang Sheng, Zhang Tang and other generals under Wang Jian, all wanted to make stepping stones for Wang Jian.
If this battle is successful, Wang Jian will become famous in one battle and become one of the best generals in the world.
If this fails, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe and others will be defeated and will not harm Wang Jian's victory.
This is naturally unfair to Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe and others - especially Yang Duanhe, who has never lost a battle until now!
But since the will of the King of Qin has reached this point, they can only surrender.
After the tactical arrangement, it is below the overall plan.
According to the past habit, the soldiers below should not know the plan of the attack. Only when they come to the front, the upper level will deport the plan and inform the small officers at the grassroots level, will the soldiers at the bottom know what they should do.
Now, since such an adventurous and reckless tactic has been determined, then we must know every soldier accordingly.
Because it is no longer time for the two armies to confront each other and to arrange troops.
Once the war begins, there will be death battles and advances.
Such a battle cannot be concealed.
Wang Jian made a plan that everyone had formulated together, and then ordered it to be deported with the military talisman seal.
Level one, layer by layer.
Within five days, the established army was passed on to everyone's hands.
The route of travel, combat mode, combat purpose...
One pile, one piece by one.
In terms of equipment, the heavy iron armor and large shield were put on hold because they were not in line with tactics, and were replaced by leather armor, light clothes, light shoes, and short soldiers.
The soldiers' food is composed of easy-to-carry jerky, fried beans, dried biscuits and other foods that are easy to carry and resistant to hunger.
In mid-May, everything is ready.
...
On the vast earth, two people and two horses walked slowly.
"I am so old that I should have enjoyed my life in Qin State." Inquiry complained: "Mr. Ju, will you go back this time? If you don't go back, I have to find some of my former disciples in advance to prepare money and supplies for retirement."
"I want to go back." Ju Zizhou apologized: "What are you planning to do after asking me?"
"In the future? If Mr. Ju still plans to go back to Qin, then I can go back as well. When I go back, I will take care of my old age. Of course, I also plan to see what kind of equipment the boys in the orphanage can make; if Mr. Ju doesn't plan to go back to Qin, then of course I can't go back."
"At that time, I will go to Wei State to find some of my old disciples, and prepare to write something to support my old age."
"It's a good arrangement." Ju Zizhou sighed.
But this arrangement depends on Ju Zizhou.
The two of them said this, but they actually had their own thoughts.
Ju Zizhou is still thinking about Xunzi's ideas.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
Walking along the way, you will see bones on the road.
Recently, the years have not been good. Although the rain and drought are not very serious, all kinds of disasters have never been cut off on this land.
Ju Zizhou had known the situation of Qin before. Although he only had a little understanding of it, although it was the most basic and extensive order, he could still see a unified order.
Beyond Qin, it is worse than the Qin State I saw in the past.
Take South Korea as an example. Koreans own their own land and private property.
The battle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period led to the monarch's need to have more war soldiers if he wanted to expand or maintain the country's survival.
If the training of war soldiers is entirely cultivated by the monarch or the country itself, like the Wei Wushu in the old days, it would take too much.
Therefore, what the monarchs need is to draw from the civilians.
This is the origin of the so-called "military service".
Asking Chinese people to serve in the military is much lower than taking full responsibility for the cost of training and breeding.
When people are asked to serve, who will provide their food and accommodation during their service?
The Qin State's past method was to divide it into two.
The country only provides you with the most basic supply that will keep you from starving.
And you also need to pay a certain amount of money to buy vegetables, food and clothing to ensure that you can eat enough and wear warm clothes during your service.
But this was just a method of Qin in the past and it was not applicable to other countries.
Because the laws of Qin were strict and the grassroots organizations were stronger than those of other countries, and because Qin had the most basic basic order that could be passed through the country.
This is the legacy left by Wei Yang's reforms to Qin State in the past.
Other countries have also carried out reforms. However, the top-down reforms cannot be achieved without a clear path and huge interests as guidance.
Therefore, other countries cannot use Qin's method.
The initial method they used was to gather troops based on aristocratic rule.
The nobles gathered some force and handed it over to the monarch to win the battle and share the spoils according to the merits.
The so-called "those who defeat the enemy will be subject to county, and when it rains heavily, the county will be subject to 100,000 soldiers and fields; the common people will be subject to business and business, and the ministers will be exempted from being subordinate to the county" is their initial solution.
But this method can obtain very few soldiers.
Therefore, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were often only a few hundred people in the battle between small countries, and only a thousand people in the big countries.
When the Mohist school was first established, Mo Zizhai could even interfere in national wars with hundreds of brave soldiers - of course, this was not because Mo Zi was noble in morality and was convinced by people who saw it.
The most fundamental reason is that he and his disciples are really energetic and youthful.
Later, the times developed forward, productivity increased slightly, and the slaves were a little full, and when they had their own demands, they began to rebel.
In order to consolidate their rule and to plunder foreign wealth, the monarchs deliberately or unintentionally reduced the scale of slaves in the country, and transformed them into free peoples.
At this time, as the base of free people expanded, the main force of military service changed.
From aristocrats as the main body to a free people as the main body.
Of course, some of them are unwilling to follow this transformation.
For example, some countries that restrain themselves and restore rituals.
So these countries became history.
In today's situation, this situation where free people are the main body of military service and war has spread across this land.
All kinds of taxes have also been added to these "free people".
When I went to see it again, their living conditions were actually different in different regions and at different times.
Ju Zizhou has seen some of them before, but now I still feel that many situations are not clear about them at all.
