Chapter 5391 There is a brave man under the heavy reward
Xuanwu's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "What will happen if the military power is returned to the hands of the nobles? Now we are the generals of the Beifu Army and the world of the Beijing Eighth Party. How could Liu Yu allow the situation where the military was controlled by the nobles to happen again?
Woolen cloth?"
Bai Hu said calmly: "Because the biggest problem Liu Yu is facing now is the depletion of the previous quasi-military household system. Over the past hundred years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, it has relied on the strongmen of the Shanzhai in Huaibei and the refugees from the south in Jingkou.
, as well as the heroes of Guanzhong from Jingzhou and Yongzhou who went south and the local soldiers and horses of Jingzhou. These are the powerful soldiers that the Jin Dynasty can really fight and force Tibet.
The good family members of the county have the same effect."
Qinglong nodded: "Yes, that's what you said about quasi-military households. Troops that can fight are often recruited from these places, especially Huaibei Shanzhai and Jingkou Laotie. They don't have to pay taxes or serve.
, as long as there is a war, they can be recruited, but if they win, they will be rewarded, and they will also be promoted to official positions. This is much better than Cao Wei during the military household period."
Bai Hu nodded: "But the basis for this is that there is a steady stream of refugees going south. Those people who have no way of making a living due to the war in the north, or the oppression of the Huru nobles, and the powerful Han landlords, will gather into refugee groups.
Going south in batches, as long as they can escape the pursuit all the way and successfully reach Huaibei, they will be a military group with considerable combat effectiveness and organization. From Xi Jian, Su Jun and other refugee commanders at the founding of the People's Republic of China, to Wei Yongzhi later,
People like Tan Pingzhi and Meng Chang are all of this nature. They are similar to Cao Cao's military household system, because the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are also an armed group that can survive in troubled times, which itself has proven its combat effectiveness."
Suzaku laughed: "So, we use these people who can fight, kill, and have combat experience to form the main body of the Jin army. For state affairs, Huaibei strongmen and Jingkou Laotie will recruit troops to fight in the Jiangbei area.
Allowing Hu Qi to see the Yangtze River has been this way for hundreds of years, especially during the Battle of Feishui. In fact, the real core combat force was still the 20,000 or 20,000 people from Huaibei and Jingkou, and Liu Yu was one of them."
Baihu said sternly: "Yes, but this mode of conscription has changed now, because the war in the north gradually ended. Starting from Liu Yuan's rebellion, or in other words, starting from the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, dozens of people were killed in the northern Central Plains.
In the battle of the year, the king's flag was once changed on the city wall, and all the forces came to the stage. They were in division and war for a long time. That is to say, the pre-Qin era had a brief period of peace for a few years. However, with the Battle of Feishui,
The former Qin collapsed, and the Later Qin in Guanzhong and the Later Yan in Guandong fought again for nearly twenty years. During this period, although the people in the north were in dire straits, it was a good thing for us in the Jin Dynasty, because there was a steady stream of Han and Hu people from the north.
The soldiers and civilians were forced to go south. It can be said that they are the real source of soldiers in places such as Huaibei Village, Yongzhou Powerful and Jingkou Laotie."
"However, since the Northern Wei Dynasty entered the Pass and destroyed Yan, and the Later Qin unified Guanlong and captured the Central Plains, the multiple forces that used to coexist in the north now basically only have two families left. After the Battle of Chaibi, the Later Qin and
The Northern Wei shook hands again and made peace. Now the north is basically stable, with no major wars, and the people are rarely able to recuperate. After a hundred years of war, the Han powerful people and ordinary people in the north have gradually accepted the idea of being ruled by the Hu people and retaining certain autonomy for themselves.
This pattern of resistance and uprisings is much less common than it was a few decades ago. Especially after we destroyed Nanyan and captured Qingzhou, there were almost no refugees from Hebei who wanted to cross the river south and join us. Although we were large
Jin's territory has greatly increased, but a bad consequence is that the military resources in Huaibei and Jingkou have dried up, and even more people have left these places than are currently moving into them."
Qinglong frowned and said: "So, now that the reserve troops in Huaibei and Jingkou are gone, we must consider a new troop selection model, is this what you mean? But instead of conquering Qingzhou and destroying the Nanyan Queen,
Are there any Xianbei tribesmen? Why can't we create new military households among them and form a cavalry group? I think in this battle of Jiankang, those Tiger Squadron Assault Cavalry performed very well, and later they chased and killed the Tianshi Dao troops.
At that time, he was also the main forward."
Baihu shook his head: "It is best not to let the Xianbei people maintain a separate tribal system and obey the orders of the original chiefs and commanders. Everyone understands this reason. The painful lesson of the Wuhu chaos in China is that it is not impossible to take in Yidi, but they must
To break it up, for the sake of the immediate benefit of soldiers during the war, let the barbarians continue to live according to the original tribe. In the end, they will only obey the orders of their own chiefs, Qu Shuai, and will not obey the management of the court officials. Once the world
If there is a change, if these chiefs become rebellious, there will be another great chaos. Therefore, we would rather not let the Xianbei people serve as soldiers, but we should organize them into households and integrate them into our Han people in the Jin Dynasty. As for those cavalrymen
For the army, we will uniformly recruit knights from among the common people and conduct training, but do not specifically emphasize that non-Xianbei people cannot be cavalry. In fact, our own cavalry is not bad at all."
Xuanwu nodded: "I agree with Mr. Baihu's view. The Hu people can be recruited and appeased in the future, but they must be converted into Han people, including the followers of Tianshi Dao. After surrendering, they must be dispersed as much as possible.
, the relocation and resettlement cannot allow them to form a connection again, but Mr. Baihu, you said that in the future you will return to the conscription system, that is, from the common people from all over the Jin Dynasty, you will be selected to join the army? Will this reduce the combat effectiveness?
It's amazing. You must know that in the past hundred years, there has been no martial arts practice in places like Jingkou and Huaibei in various places in the Jin Dynasty. Most people think that paying taxes and doing corvee is enough, and they are not willing to fight in wars.
Woolen cloth."
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "Master Xuanwu, don't worry too much. Think about the Battle of Feishui, think about Jianyi, think about the defense of Jiankang. As long as the conditions are generous enough, there will be heavy rewards and high pensions."
And the promotion after the victory, so all the villagers and tenants in Wudi are thinking about joining the army, not because of how high their consciousness is, nor how much they love this great Jin country, but because of their calculations
After thinking for a while, the benefits after fighting the war were greater than continuing to farm. In addition, the old boss was willing to let people go and take good care of their families. Even if they died in the war, they would not deprive them of their wives and children and give them to others.
They have no worries and can join the army with peace of mind. This is how the 50,000 to 60,000 Beifu troops behind them came. As the saying goes, under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, that's all." (End of this chapter)
