Meng Tian untied his long tassel and took off his martial crown, and knelt on the ground and bowed to worship.

"Tian is highly valued by Your Majesty. First defend the northwest and then defend the Hu of the Hungary and Hu in Longxi. There has been no achievements in ten years. I have pacified the Hu of the West and the Hu of the Yuezhi. All the countries in the Western Regions were all caused by the Marquis of Di Dao and the Marquis of Yinshan and many other men. Our Qin also attaches the most importance to the law. If you have merits, you should reward and punish them. This time, the crime of reselling equipment cannot be escaped. However, I still ask Your Majesty to be lightly sent to the Western Army to comfort the soldiers and the soldiers who have given blood to the country. I am willing to pay the title of Marquis of Che, and the servants of the family are considered civilians. I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, the accumulated shortcomings of the military system are not unique to the Western Army. The Northern Army is the same. When the Marquis of Wucheng, Yanmen Pass, condoned soldiers to destroy Jingbian Temple, it was because the border guards were angry and they almost caused a disaster. As a result, the Marquis of Tongwu died and returned home. Although I am not in the front-line military camp, I have long heard of the scattered military disciplines in the military camp. I also asked Your Majesty to take a clear look and take the blame of the Marquis of Jingwu Didao Hou Yinshan Hou and other Western military soldiers..."

Wei Liao, the commander of the Ministry of War, stood up and walked slowly to the center of the lobby and knelt down on one knee next to Meng Tian. "As the commander of the Ministry of War, the old minister has a supervisory responsibility for allocating equipment and the merit test of soldiers. The old minister also has an unshirkable responsibility for the reselling of enamel equipment in the Western Army. He is willing to be punished by Your Majesty. But as Marquis Jingwu said, the accumulated problems of the military system are becoming increasingly prominent, and Your Majesty still needs to make decisions as soon as possible to prevent the soldiers from being more difficult to restrain in the future!"

"I, please ask Your Majesty to make a decision early!" Many officials from the Ministry of War and other offices stood up to express their opinions.

"Your Majesty, my brother Jiang Hu is in charge of a guardian of the Western Army for His Majesty. The environment is even worse and harder than Dunhuang. Every time I tell you about the Western Regions in my letters for the past three years, I always mention the sufferings of the Western Army soldiers, for fear that the soldiers will cause trouble and mutiny because they cannot tolerate that harsh environment. But what makes him glad that the soldiers have been abide by military discipline for the past three years. My brother also said that the soldiers of the Western Army all thanked His Majesty for their kindness and consideration, and sent out enamel equipment and compressed military rations to solve the pain of the soldiers' disagreement. It is these that allow many soldiers to persevere. But after all, the Western Army is thousands of miles away from their hometown, with wind, sand, and cold wind, and missing their relatives in their hometown, and after three years of persistence, he cannot get any military rewards. I hope Your Majesty will clearly observe the sufferings of the frontline soldiers! "

As the third-rank chief of the Ministry of Personnel, Jiang Heng spoke differently from the large group of people who had just posted posts. Therefore, after Jiang Hu finished speaking, the third-rank officials from several real-time departments of the three provinces and six ministries stood up to echo the posts, and even the Ministry of Revenue Order Gao Teng, Ministry of Works Order Zai Hong, and Ministry of Justice Order Yin Wu all stood up to excuse the soldiers of the Western Army.

Looking at the officials who stood up in the court, Meng Tian and Li Xin Wei Liao who were kneeling on the ground, the mood of the First Emperor slowly calmed down. He turned on the imperial case to reform the military system submitted by Meng Tian, ​​slowly read a few pages before closing it. Then his eyes slowly swept across the entire court. Finally, he stayed on the empty Taishi chair next to him for a second before retracting his eyes and speaking: "The environment in the Western Regions is dangerous, and the soldiers of the Western Army are indeed in distress. This time he resells.

I can no longer pursue enamel equipment, but I need to restrain the generals and soldiers from such situations again. I established the country with law and rewarded merits and punishments. The Marquis of Jingwu was not strict and punished and confiscated his salary for half a year. As the chief general of the two armies, Didao Hou Yinshan Hou knew that the soldiers reselled equipment but covered up the situation. Moreover, forged military letters and requested to allocate military equipment, causing great waste. Therefore, both generals were fined for one year of their salary, and the other generals were punished in this way. Have you heard clearly!"

"Thank you for your forgiveness!" Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Jiang Hu and many civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief, and the extremely depressing atmosphere in the court instantly relaxed a lot.

"The law is strict, and rewards are rewarded and punished. However, the military system has been full of ills. What do you think of the reform of the military system just now?" After slightly punishing Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and others, Qin Shihuang began to pay attention to the core issues that caused this matter.

Although Meng Tian and Li Xin and others were willing to excuse themselves, their reasons were very sufficient. Now, the update service has indeed reached a point where they cannot support such ultra-long-distance military deployment and long-term combat effectiveness.

If it doesn't change, it will sooner or later go wrong.

But how to change it? Although Meng Tian listed some methods, it was not good enough in the eyes of the First Emperor. Most of the civil and military officials in the court were blinded by military system reform. Moreover, the army was the family affairs of the emperor. It was not the turn of others to make trouble. What everyone had to do was wait for the emperor's restructuring to follow and implement it.

Seeing that the officials in the court were silent, Qin Shihuang sighed depressedly and stood up and said, "Today's court discussion is aborted. Feng Xiang, Wei's Ministry of War, Meng Duke, Di Dao Hou, and Jingwu Hou went to Zichen Hall to discuss with me. The other favorites will be separated!"

"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty!"

Amid the symphony of civil and military officials, the First Emperor left with a few books of memorials and books. Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Meng Tian, ​​Wei Liao and Li Xin followed the two palace men to Zichen Hall.

Court discussions are usually memorials that have already proposed solutions. When encountering some things that the emperor cannot make up his mind, it is inevitable to find some ministers who rely on to discuss in private.

The reform of the military system involves too many levels and too complex things. According to Meng Tian’s memorial, the current military service system of the whole people is to change the current military service system like selection, which is more important than essence than much.

For generals who are truly proficient in military tactics, a well-trained elite soldier is much stronger than a group of huge mobs.

However, under the current military service system, it is rare to have elite soldiers because the service personnel are uneven and their physical fitness is also obvious. In the past, there were teenagers from fifteen years old to sixty years old in the army of the Qin Dynasty. Before the war, civilians would be recruited on a large scale again. This is the three armies that Shang Yang originally stipulated, both strong men and strong women and strong women and weak men and women.

The first army of the strong men is responsible for combat, the first army of the strong women is responsible for battlefield escort and treatment, and the first army of the old and weak is responsible for logistics and transportation of food and grass, etc.

This was specially created by Shang Yang in response to Emperor Shi Huang's desire to conquer the six countries and unify the Central Plains. In order to obtain enough soldiers, all women were already included. It was stimulated by the Qin Dynasty, such as military and military merit rewards, that the Qin Dynasty finally swept across the six countries one after another. Although the cost was huge, it still made Qin Shi Huang laugh until the end.

The Qin Dynasty had a population of only five million. After unifying the six kingdoms, the population of Guanzhong, the old nest of Qin State had dropped to three million, which was a victory that was achieved with life.

After unifying the six countries, the army of the Zhuangwomen was abolished, but the military service system did not undergo fundamental changes. From the age of fifteen to sixty, men took turns to serve, and the entire Qin Dynasty was still in a very turbulent situation. The labor service in January and the two years of military service each person seriously affected the production and life of the people, and seriously hindered the development of agriculture and industry and commerce.

This military system has been around for a long time and no one has ever mentioned any controversy.

Now that the Northern and Western Army had a series of accidents, after Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and others told me, Qin Shihuang finally realized the seriousness of this topic.

If the Qin Dynasty wants to be considered elite soldiers, the two northwest pawns are considered elites, because they were selected from the 300,000 army at that time. After several years of training and fighting, their combat effectiveness is naturally quite strong, but the morale of the army is quite unstable under such excessive service.

In addition, the most elite are the Guards and Lieutenant Imperial Guards.

But these two imperial guards are also replaced every year, just young and strong soldiers selected from the four barracks guarding the capital. They are stronger than ordinary troops in terms of combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment, but the basis for their strength is not because of professional training, but because of the selection and strict laws.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the Chinese princes continued to grow in constant battles, and a large number of military bulls were born, including Sun Bin, Sun Wu, Guan Zhong, Wu Qi, Wei Liao, Le Yi, etc. The Chinese civilization gradually blended together in this constant war, leaving behind countless brilliant war cases and rich military knowledge, which has influenced China for more than two thousand years and even the entire world's war history.

Despite this, these are primitive wars after all, and they often fight to the country. Therefore, all military and artists advocate military planning, which has produced the highest art of war, which is to defeat others without fighting.

Under the guidance of this kind of military tactic, various strategists began to travel among the princes and promote their various skills of fighting. The alliance and alliance were fully interpreted by a group of strategists.

Once the attack plan fails, it will enter the stage of attacking and even siege. In specific wars, it depends on force and national strength to support it. If the soldiers are elite and food are sufficient, they can win. Martial power does not necessarily refer to elite troops, but refers to fearlessness and obeying orders.

During the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, Guan Zhong was the one who did military training yesterday morning, and created the five teachings method. Later, this method was quickly expanded to all the vassal states, thus giving birth to different main forces from various countries.

Xunzi once said: Qi's martial arts cannot meet the Wei family's martial soldiers, and Wei family's martial soldiers cannot meet the Qin soldiers.

The Qin Ruis, who were heard by the world, were really not afraid of death. They were all a group of guys who put their heads on their belts for military merit. In their eyes, every enemy was a beautiful woman with a land and real estate slave. A big + sign could float with a single knife. At the same time, there was also a system prompt, "Slave +1", "land +1", and "Lord +1".

As long as you are brave enough and lucky enough, a war will be won, countless people will receive generous rewards for military merits, regardless of their high or low status, and will become nobles, especially those prisoners and slaves who guard the border will work harder for freedom.

Therefore, under the instigation of the leader Shang Yang, the Qin Dynasty rose strongly, and ordinary civilians endured severe laws and suffered a great hardship, but their national strength was extremely strong.

But the times have changed, and the various strict laws and military service systems that supported the rise of the Qin Dynasty have gradually reached a dead end.

As various reforms of the Qin Dynasty were constantly advancing, national strength was booming, and the happiness index of civilians was rising. China was about to usher in an unprecedented prosperous era under the rule of Emperor Shin-Emperor, but the army that made Emperor Shin-Emperor the most proud and reassured had one after another.
