Chapter 5357: Follow the Army Civil and Military New Taipei Prefecture
Xuanwu nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, Mr. Baihu, Liu Yu really wants to compete with the powerful locals in these prefectures and counties that he has already occupied, and the noble families of Wu."
Flow, exchange, but the land price here in Wudi and the operating expenses of the manor are more than five times that of other counties. If you want to exchange, you have to sell five for one. Are you sure they are willing?"
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "Many wealthy families from other counties are eager to enter the capital and become officials. After all, no matter how powerful they are in the local area, or even able to dominate a party, it does not mean that they can control the central power. Now is different from the past. In the past,
The local states and counties are in a semi-independent state. They only need to establish a good relationship with the governors and garrison generals. But now, everyone knows that Liu Yu is truly unifying the four directions in the name of the imperial court. From now on, the governors and governors of the states will be
, the county magistrate will all be officials sent directly by the central court, and they will no longer even recognize their previous land deeds and various privileges. In order to maintain the existing interests, the only way is to have talented people in the court."
Zhuque sneered and said: "So, the powerful people in these places can't just be local snakes. They have to find ways to have people in the court, or make friends with officials in the court. In short, they have to show their obedience to Liu Yu and their willingness to serve the country.
, only in this way can they protect their wealth, which is why they are willing to become officials in the court."
Bai Hu nodded: "Yes, Wu used to be Wu. Outside of Wu, everything was outside. Our noble family would not touch the interests of powerful people in these places, and they should not come to the DPRK to try to get their hands on power. Because
Being an official requires a recommendation system. As long as the recommenders and the personnel who review the officials are in our hands, outsiders will not be allowed to come in to serve as senior officials with real power. But it is different now. We have the concept of military merit and title as an official.
According to the model, many nephews of wealthy families in other counties can also join the army and fight. Just like our nephews join the army and serve as officials, they can also donate military rations and manpower, thereby preserving their nephew's merits and allowing them to serve as officials or serve as officials.
Military academies, even after the war, can stay in the army, follow the army to the vicinity of Jiankang, and live in the Jiankang area as a military official. Naturally, they will have to buy property in Jiankang City or Wudi and settle down."
Qinglong slammed the table: "Oh, I almost overlooked this point. Mr. Baihu, you still have a higher vision. Originally, I thought that the officials were our people, so I just removed the card for those who wanted to come to the central court as officials.
, but if you are a general in the army and follow the army back to Jiankang, you can't control it. However, shouldn't the generals who are not in Wu or Jingkou be abolished and retired after the war? Why are they brought to the capital area?
?”
Xuanwu curled his lips and said: "If Liu Yu wanted to let the powerful children from other places, or the elite warriors who joined the army in other places, become members of the Beifu Army, then he would do this. In the past, the people of Jingkou were strong because
There are northern refugees who are constantly moving south, especially the armed groups in Huaibei with rich combat experience. The strongmen in the cottages are replenishing them. In addition, the folk customs in Jingkou are martial, and those who join the army can exempt their whole families from taxes. Even our aristocratic families in Wudi will give
They subsidize a lot of rice and grain, so that the people of Jingkou can practice martial arts with peace of mind. However, as a place where strong soldiers are produced, there is only one Jingkou in the entire Jin Dynasty, at most counting the former mountain villages in Huaibei. Therefore, if there is something wrong with the country, sending troops from Jingkou has already
It has become a formula.”
"But now that the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan has succeeded in destroying the country, it has given the Jin Dynasty an extra large state. It also means that fewer and fewer refugees from the north will go south. In fact, in the past ten years, it has almost no longer been like this.
As in the previous era of melee in the north, tens of thousands of people went south to join the Jin Dynasty every year. Only one out of ten could select a truly strong man who could fight. Although Jingkou locals continued to produce more troops, the overall
The quality and martial arts of the soldiers are much worse than when Liu Yu joined the army more than 20 years ago."
Baihu nodded and said: "Moreover, the Beifu Army, which was mainly formed by people from Jingkou, fought for more than 20 years in the north and south for the Jin Dynasty. Many people died in the battle, and more people have made meritorious service and have been knighted, and now they have become general-level officers.
Many of these people who have become rich no longer want to live in Jingkou. This means that their descendants will have to fight in wars for generations, risking their lives. Those who are generals, or officials, are also exempt from tax.
, why bother to live in a rural place like Jingkou? Wouldn’t it be better to enjoy life if you join Jiankang Jingcheng as an official? Therefore, in the past ten years or so, the old brothers in Jingkou, including Liu Yu, have also moved away from Jingkou.
After entering the capital or going to other big cities, the local military households and soldiers in Jingkou become fewer and fewer, not more and more."
"Liu Yu definitely cannot sit back and watch this happen. He must look for new warriors who are good at fighting in each war, whether it is the Xianbei cavalry in Qingzhou, the elite Chu soldiers in Jingzhou, or the Shanyue barbarians in Lingnan.
They are all fresh blood that can be added to the future Beifu Army. In other words, the future imperial army will also have to select elite soldiers and warriors from the entire Jin Dynasty, and will no longer be limited to the Beifu Army produced in Jingkou."
Zhuque sighed and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu is ruthless enough. If we want to change him together, even his fellow villagers in Jingkou will have to rely on outsiders for blood exchange. So, these military generals will settle down in Jingkou first.
, stationed for a long time as the Beifu Legion?"
Bai Hu said calmly: "Yes, they have made contributions in previous wars and proved their military capabilities and martial arts. They will first serve as the standing army of the Jin Dynasty in Beijing. Even in the future disarmament and retirement process, they will serve as
The grassroots officers can also stay in the army. The state and county troops in various places will be eliminated in large numbers, but the Beijing camp army, or the Beifu army, which can attack at any time, will still be retained in large numbers. The size of this army,
It will not be less than 50,000 people, or even 100,000 people. It is Liu Yu's main ace force that can be used to pacify the separatist troops in various states at any time, or to launch the Northern Expedition, or to fight against the invasion of the Hu people."
Xuanwu curled his lips: "So, he used this method of opening up quotas in the army to allow powerful and brave men from all over the world to join, and then let these people occupy Jingkou with titles and occupy land in Wudi, quietly in our
Are his people involved in the aristocratic manor in Wu Di?"
Bai Hu nodded: "Yes, not only that, I think once his Lanxiang Official School is put into operation, a large number of officials will be produced, not only to govern the place, but also to serve as military officials. Once they perform meritorious services, these people will
You can also follow the army back to the vicinity of the capital and settle down." (End of this chapter)
