Chapter 328 Reorganization Training
After Anshi, the military system with the equal-field system as the foundation, the military system and the conscription system as the wings collapsed, thus making the recruitment system popular.
Needless to say, the state will give you land and you will use it as a soldier to repay it. The conscription system has fewer people who know it. This is a system that is opposite to the recruitment system.
The conscription system, as the name suggests, is the conscription system. No matter the high or low level, like the Qin and Han dynasties, the regular soldiers, as long as men become adults, they must serve in the army and serve the country.
When a war comes, the court will recruit you to serve again. The ones that are selective, that is, hiding troops from the people. This is the basis for the strong military of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
In the early Tang Dynasty, land was granted to men to serve, and some conscription system was added.
The recruitment system means recruitment.
In other words, it is not compulsory to the people and is an exchange system.
If you give me money, I will go to war for you. You don’t need your loyalty. As long as you have enough money and food, you can raise a strong team. If you have lost money and food, or the enemy’s money is higher than what you pay, then congratulations, your troops have “abandoned the dark and turned to the light.”
Not all troops were Swiss mercenaries, who were stolen and were condemned by the separatist vassal states during the era of separatist vassal states, and even soldiers danced and drank at their homes, and there were not too many military governors who were confused.
Without morality, etiquette and law, pure interests are the first. Such a society is too terrible. No ruler can sleep peacefully. If he is careless, he will die.
As mentioned earlier, the Song Dynasty inherited most of the systems of the Five Dynasties, and did not change the recruitment system and inherited it. However, it also wanted to overcome its shortcomings. So there was a series of methods such as using literature to control the military, despise the soldiers, and gathering the soldiers in the center. It was amazing and was also the reason why the Song Dynasty's army was weak.
This is also the reason why the Qi family army was extremely strong in the Ming Dynasty, but it never expanded and even gradually declined. The recruitment system was too expensive. With the financial situation like the Ming Dynasty, if the Japanese pirates had not endangered the rule, they would have been reluctant to give out so much money.
A person has twenty or thirty taels of silver. Thanks to Jiajing's efforts to maintain it, and he only likes the relatively low-cost project of alchemy, and does not like luxury, otherwise the Ming Dynasty's finances will really go bankrupt.
Moreover, the recruitment system has shortcomings. Those generals can harm the public and benefit private people, that is, they can eat empty wages. The 800,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty did not even have 300,000. The other empty wages were swallowed by officials and generals, and the remaining soldiers were also deducted and were extremely weak.
Otherwise, why would the Jin soldiers come and the imperial guards collapse in one blow, even if they kill 800,000 pigs, they would exhaust the Jin soldiers.
If he was too far away, Li Jia also took the blessing of the recruitment system, otherwise tens of thousands of imperial guards in Guangzhou would not have surrendered so easily. He could not change the recruitment system for the time being. The objective reason was that the rule was insufficient, the prestige of the court was insufficient, and the children of the good family could not be recruited.
"Strong military discipline and generous rewards are what this army should have. Other flaws such as fighting, bullying, disobedience, etc. Others think that this is the place for a strong soldier, but I don't need any of them!"
"Especially military discipline, this is the foundation of a strong army. The military police department needs to vigorously promote it. The baggage battalion must ensure the supply of fleece jackets. The fine tradition of following the military school cannot disappear. Training during the day and reading at night..."
"Also, from today on all Taoist priests will leave the army. Except for explaining Taoist priests on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and promoting King Tianqi, no Taoist priests are allowed to enter the military camp!"
Li Jia narrowed her eyes and looked at the Huainan Army with 5,000 people. He was eager to own this army. This army that is the best in the world. If it had a strong military discipline, how powerful would it burst out?
Li Jia is looking forward to it very much.
"Li Xin, Li Wei--" the emperor ordered casually.
"I'm here--" The two of them didn't understand why, but they still bowed.
"From today, we will form a large military training camp. Due to insufficient food, the current five thousand people will be the basis. You and the other two will take over the military training and draw a hundred imperial guards. Using the training methods I taught before, the Huainan army will truly belong to the Tang Dynasty."
"As for orders-" The two looked at each other. This errand was good, which was equivalent to expanding their prestige. There was a hint of joy on their faces.
Duan Youliang and Pan Chongche, who were standing aside, were instantly clear about their minds. This was to promote the old people and offset the influence of the Northwest Army!
During this trip to Hunan, Pan Chongche and Duan Youliang were very popular. Obviously, the emperor was not happy with the sluggish scenes of the old ministers. These old ministers are the most credible. Now, by training the Huainan army, expanding the prestige of Li Xin and the others is a good strategy.
Two days later, many old soldiers were drawn and a large army training camp was formed, outside Changsha City, and it became lively.
On this day, Li Jia stood on the arrow tower, feeling the rhythmic vibrations coming from the ground beneath him, and gradually approached here. It was the soldiers in Huainan who were doing long-distance running training.
After the training camp was established, training was organized immediately.
There are only five arms in the entire imperial guards, including sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, cavalry, crossbow soldiers, and naval troops.
For the Huainan Army, such as swordsmanship and archery, the long-distance running once in the morning and evening really made everyone feel sad.
Every day before the sun came out, five thousand soldiers had to wear all their clothes and carry all their supplies, and ran around the entire Changsha City. Those who could not finish running would have no breakfast to eat.
And the heads of the capital and the team were even more complaining because even if one of their soldiers failed to complete the training, they did not have breakfast. After breakfast, the normal training and patrol values did not decrease.
This is to cultivate their collaboration ability and centripetal force. Fighting alone is not feasible, and Li Jia does not advocate personal force.
Before dinner, I also had to run around Changsha City. The people of Changsha City watched, but the imperial guards ran fine, but the Huainan army was ugly in all kinds of ways. Some had lost their shoes, some had their pants torn, and some fell into the mud, like buffaloes, very interesting.
The vibration on the ground became clearer, and a loud roar was faintly heard. Li Jia looked at it and saw that this was the burly man who had fought at the beginning.
In order to have a full meal, he added many packages of companions, and his body became larger and larger. Ordinary people carried so many things, and they might not be able to lie down after running a few hundred steps. However, he forced himself to support him, but he was very tired.
Especially in the last part, I was panting like a cow, as if I was about to die of exhaustion.
The soldiers of the Huainan Army behind him were even more unbearable, and they were all exhausted. Some soldiers with poor physical strength almost reached the end by dragging and dragging their colleagues, but their faces were as dark as they were.
