Chapter 5378 Good families from six counties formed the Han army
Qinglong said in a deep voice: "What you mean is the enfeoffment system after the founding of the Han Dynasty. The establishment of various feudal states with the clan surname Liu in Guandong was actually the six kingdoms of the former vassal world. However, the monarch was replaced by the Liu family.
At most, they can send a state minister to supervise and let the court and the central government know what these feudal monarchs are doing. But in essence, the people of Guandong can accept this system and feel that the Liu family princes have replaced the original six kingdoms monarchs to manage them.
Instead of allowing invaders like Guanzhong Lao Qin, who have national and family hatred with them, to enslave and rule them."
Bai Hu nodded: "That's right. Just like in ancient times, after Huangdi defeated the aborigines of the Central Plains such as Sanmiao Jiuli, he once sent his son Chi You to be their leader, and Sanmiao Jiu
The inherent system of Li was preserved. Of course, Chi You later rebelled against his father and stood on his own initiative, leading the Three Miao and Nine Li to fight against the Yanhuang Alliance, which is another story. The same reason also applies to the fact that after Zhou destroyed Shang, he let Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou, take charge
The remnants of the original Shang Dynasty founded the country under the supervision of Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai of the Zhou Dynasty. This kind of preservation of the political system of the originally destroyed country was a gentle approach to prevent the subjugated people from resisting very fiercely."
Zhuque said solemnly: "But the system of the Han Dynasty was that there were states, counties, troops, and feudal armies in Guandong. The degree of autonomy between countries was quite high. Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister could only monitor and report to the court.
However, they cannot directly interfere in the internal affairs of these countries. Some ministers even colluded with the vassal kings to conceal their reports. The Guandong states of the Han Dynasty were not small princes who were unable to resist. From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to
The king came back to inherit the throne, and the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion during the period of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty all proved this. Especially the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, which almost destroyed the Han Dynasty, was no smaller than the chaos in the late Qin Dynasty when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled."
Bai Hu nodded: "Sir Suzaku is right. The dissatisfaction of the people of Guandong towards the conquerors of Guanzhong and the humiliation of their country's subjugation will always exist. Only time can change people's cognition and their identity. And Liu Bang did this
, in fact, we have made two preparations. Even if the rebellion in the Kingdom of Guandong succeeds, and like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, they invade Guanzhong and overthrow the Han Dynasty, then the descendants of the Liu family will win the world. It will be better than the kind of Qin Dynasty that destroyed the Han Dynasty and prospered with different surnames.
It’s much better to be a king.”
Zhuque sneered and said, "Just like you said that Chi You betrayed his father and led the people of Sanmiao and Jiuli to resist the Yellow Emperor. Apart from his own identity, it was actually another resistance from the people of Guandong. Even if these princes and kings surnamed Liu captured
In the world, it is estimated that the unified Han system will not be able to continue, and will return to the previous feudal system."
Bai Hu said calmly: "These are things for later, but I believe that Liu Bang knew it well when he designed such a system. That is, since the Qin Dynasty can destroy the six countries with the power of Guanzhong and Lao Qin, Liu Bang can use the power of Guanzhong
Defeat Xiang Yu, which proves that the fighting power of the Qin people in Guanzhong is stronger than that of the six kingdoms of Guandong. If they don't commit suicide and are internally divided, and the Qin people are unwilling to serve, then even Guandong will rebel and millions of people will attack Guanzhong.
Even with our own military capabilities, we can defeat them in battle. Even if it fails, we can protect the Guanzhong regime by guarding the natural dangers of Weihan."
Xuanwu nodded: "That's true, because the Qin people in Guanzhong have a tradition of iron-blooded fighting, a desire to be happy when they hear a battle, and they also have the barbarian Rong Di's enthusiasm for fighting in their bones. Unlike Guandong, which has been Confucianized for a long time and civilized
In developed countries, they are somewhat unwilling to change their destiny by killing people and making meritorious deeds. They want to pay attention to peace. In contrast, once Guanzhong Lao Qin formed an army, he could easily defeat the Guandong soldiers and horses that were several times their number. Here are the key points
It involves the military system behind the Han Dynasty, Mr. Baihu can give more details."
Baihu nodded and said: "In fact, from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, of course, I am talking about the Western Han Dynasty, which had its capital in Chang'an. Their principle was to form an army with the good families of the six counties and the old Qin in Guanzhong as the main body.
, heavy troops were stationed around the capitals of Guanzhong, Chang'an and Xianyang. In the Han Dynasty, there were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the north and south. In the Qin Dynasty, there were 50,000 officers and men. This standing army was used as a direct army to go out at any time.
, whether it is the invasion of nomadic barbarians from the north, or the rebellion of the people of Guandong, this army can be dispatched to fight at any time. This is the army of the Qin and Han Dynasties that controls the country, and it is also the pillar of stability in the world."
Qinglong said in a deep voice: "Are the Liangjiazi from the six counties also from the old Qin who were mostly common people in the past?"
Bai Hu shook his head: "Strictly speaking, the six counties are outside Guanzhong, Longyou, Anding, Shangjun, Beidi, Xihe, Tianshui, these places are west of the Longyou River and north of Bingzhou. This is a border pass, and many residents are Han
Hu Za lives in a large area of grassland around it, and there are many forests in the mountains. Fortresses and forts can be built. When attacked by barbarians from the grassland, we can only rely on the strength of the Honzhou County to defend ourselves against the first wave of attacks."
"Because these places produce excellent knights, and most of the men and even women and children are skilled in bows and horses since childhood, so since the Qin and Han Dynasties, these places have not been directly granted to princes and princes, but have been directly controlled by the emperor as states.
The county just doesn’t want to let others control these outstanding knights.”
"As for the requirements of Liangjiazi, they are very strict, because the folk customs in these places are strong, and there are often crimes against the law and killings. People who commit murders are often afraid of punishment and will flee into Hulu territory and become barbarians. After becoming popular, some
People will come back from the Hu tribe. Although these people have been amnesty and will not be punished for their previous crimes, due to their previous experience of treason and fleeing, their qualifications to serve as soldiers will be greatly restricted. Only good families
Only a son, that is, a person whose family has no one who has broken the law, is eligible to serve in the army."
Xuanwu sighed: "This is what is called those who have no permanent property but no perseverance. Those who have committed crimes and treason are not suitable to serve as soldiers. And these six counties produce knights who are most likely to make meritorious deeds in war.
The group of people who made the most gains, if the unfaithful family members were allowed to occupy these positions, they could defect to the grassland in the past. In the future, when they became county guards and local officials such as captains, they would have the possibility of treason and self-reliance. When the Han Dynasty was founded, Han Xin,
Peng Yue and Yingbu, who were great heroes who committed crimes and fled in the past, later committed treason and rebellion even after becoming vassal kings. They have learned this lesson, so by nature, there are restrictions on the children of unscrupulous families."
Baihu smiled slightly: "Yes, most of the people in these places are common people, because four of the six counties are in the Ganliang Longyou area, which is the hometown of Yiqu. Many people are the descendants of the former Yiqu Hulu. Of course they are
The people of the conquered enemy country can only become common people. The military merit system gives them a chance to stand up." (End of this chapter)
