Wu Yunshan bowed his hands to several people and walked to the table to sit down. But as soon as he sat down, Xu Wanjiang stared and said, "What's the result today?"
When Wu Yunshan saw Xu Wanjiang, he became angry! Because it was Xu Wanjiang's errand to take stock of troops and horses, but he refused to follow him! But he completely forgot how he was rushing to grab the credit, and he didn't even talk to him.
Xu Wanjiang discussed it.
However, he still shook his head and said, "I gained nothing today!"
Seeing his depressed look, everyone knew that he didn't get anything useful, so they didn't say anything anymore. However, Xu Wanjiang said: "It seems that Mr. Wu didn't find anything useful either! I am also unlucky here today, even people
Didn’t even see it!”
When Wu Yunshan heard this, he realized that Xu Wanjiang had something to do, so he asked, "Where did Mr. Xu go today?"
Xu Wanjiang frowned and said: "Today, I went to the Qianhu Office in Tianjin and wanted to see the Jinyiwei there. But there was a note in the Qianhu Office, saying that I was out on errands, and there was no one there, so I was there.
Waiting all day in vain!"
Wu Yunshan felt comfortable when he heard Xu Wanjiang say this! Many people are always like this. When they see themselves unlucky, they hope that more people will be unlucky, even if it does not help their own situation. But he calmed down his expression very well.
Said: "Those Jin Yiwei must be hiding on purpose!"
Xu Wanjiang slammed the table hard and said: "Yes, it must be like this! If we block them again tomorrow, I don't believe they will never come back!"
Wu Yunshan said: "That's just right. If Mr. Xu goes to Qianhu Station, why not lend the rest of the people to me! Let them go to the military camp with me tomorrow!"
Xu Wanjiang said: "It's okay to ask for people, but you just don't know what you want them to do?"
Wu Yunshan knew that some things could not be hidden, so he sighed and recounted what happened today. He also focused on describing the appearance of the Wu'an Army soldiers, which made several other people's eyes widen in surprise!
Among these people, He Xianli and Jiang Yuzhong knew nothing about military affairs, but Xu Wanjiang was a serious warrior. He couldn't help but said doubtfully: "Master Wu, if I hear you say that, wouldn't all the soldiers of Wu'an Army be like
Just like a servant? How can he afford to support so many servants? Is he already so rich?"
The Jia Ding system is not a feature of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty did carry forward the worst parts of the Jia Ding system and made it the most thorough dynasty!
In fact, the profession of servants has existed since ancient times. These people only obey the orders of one person or a family, and are paid by the family. They are completely private soldiers of a certain family or someone. And servants are not that easy to be. Generally, they are
He is a man who is proficient in writing, outstanding in martial arts, and loyal!
In peacetime, he protects the general's safety, in war he helps the general control the army, and in charge he leads the charge. It can be said that he is basically a miniature military general! Among them, the most famous ones are Wu Sangui and his twenty servants.
When Wu Sangui was young, he carefully selected 20 people as his servants. He practiced martial arts and trained riding and archery with these 20 people. It can be said that the relationship was very good! In order to win their loyalty, he also bought them
Buying a house and land, marrying a wife and taking concubines. So these two people are very loyal to him! And they also know that the foundation of their career lies in their good martial arts, so they practice diligently every day and their martial arts are extraordinary!
On this day, Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang escaped during the battle with the Hou Jin Army. When he fled to Jinzhou City, he was surrounded by the Hou Jin Army! At that time, the defender of Jinzhou City was Zu Dashou, and there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Facing the outside of the city
The 30,000 to 40,000 Houjin Army was unable to send troops to rescue the people. They could only watch Wu Xiang and hundreds of people rushing left and right in the encirclement, unable to break out!
In desperation, Wu Sangui led 20 servants out of the battle, suddenly rushed into the Hou Jin Army's military formation, successfully joined Wu Xiang, and rescued the man. As a result, Wu Sangui became famous all over the world for saving his father.
!
History books say that Wu Sangui was so brave that he rescued his father, a lieutenant general of the Jin army, after he attacked in one fell swoop! But no matter how brave he was, he couldn't defeat 40,000 people, right? The main reason was because the chief general of the Jin army at that time suspected that the Ming army had other conspiracies, otherwise
You won’t send 21 men to charge against 40,000 people!
So there was a problem when he mobilized the troops, which gave Wu Sangui and his son a chance to escape, and also made him famous in one battle! This is the role of servants.彡彡訁凊
In fact, the root cause of abandoning ordinary soldiers and only piling resources on a few people still lies with Zhu Yuanzhang.
When the Ming Dynasty was first established, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely poor! In order to save money, he invented the military household system. That is to gather the soldiers in the guard station, give them land to cultivate in peacetime, and select people to serve as soldiers during wars. As for the generals and officers, they only
It's okay to keep your own servants.
This system showed many advantages in the early stage, but its disadvantages became more and more serious in the later period. First of all, the land of the guard station was occupied by the military officers and nobles, and ordinary military households could only be reduced to tenant slaves. As a result, the quality of the soldiers was reduced.
Getting worse!
Moreover, the officers discovered one thing, that is, a small number of servants can control a large number of military households, which is more conducive to corruption! Therefore, this culture of only valuing servants and not soldiers spread quickly, which also led to the Ming Dynasty.
One of the main reasons for the sharp decline in military combat effectiveness!
After all, no matter how many servants a military attache has, how much role can they play on the battlefield? It is the ordinary soldiers who really play the mainstay role on the battlefield. Liu Haojia's approach was just to bring order to the chaos, but it gave everyone a great surprise!
Even a warrior like Xu Wanjiang said, "How can he afford to support so many servants? Is he already so rich?" It is simply ridiculous!
But the problem is that even warriors like Xu Wanjiang think so, let alone other ignorant people! So what they think at this time is that Liu Haojia already has 10,000 servants!
Jiang Yuzhong's expression changed even more when he heard this, and he said: "This man actually has more than 10,000 servants. What does he want to do? Does he still want to become the second Li Chengliang?"
According to historical records, it is said that Li Chengliang had 8,000 families, which required a huge amount of wealth to support. But they did not know the difference between ordinary elite soldiers and servants!
Servants are all-round masters who can immediately dismount and charge and lead troops. However, ordinary soldiers are only familiar with the area they have been trained in, but they can overwhelm elite servants by virtue of their numbers! As for the cost of training, it is even more expensive than
