Chapter 923: The fifth year of Yuanhuang (Part 3) [Please ask for monthly votes]


    Even though Chu Yao knew that his lord had always been straightforward, he didn''t expect that she would even be so straightforward in this kind of question, and her face was full of seriousness. He had to ponder: "In terms of strength, the two are almost the same; in terms of talent, it is difficult to decide the winner. But-"


    Chu Yao paused and lowered his voice.


    "Yuanyuan is from a foreigner in Beimo after all."


    It’s not that Chu Yao cares about this. If he cares, he wouldn’t be so close to Wei Shou, but now Kang Guohui cares. Wei Shou can serve as the general, but he is definitely not the one in the lead. In the future, Wei Shou''s background may become a hidden danger. In terms of reason, he chose Chu Jie for one choice.


    Chen Tang didn''t say anything.


    Chu Yao said again: "The round weakness is too obvious."


    Jin Rui is Wei Shou’s weakness.


    Since Chu Yao can use Jin Rui to restrain Wei Shou - although Jin Rui voluntarily, and Chu Yao planned to cut off all Wei Shou''s retreat, Wei Shou had to betray Zheng Qiao, but the outside world did not know the twists and turns, and they only knew what they saw. Naturally, I would be worried that Wei Shou would be constrained by the same means and then betray Chen Tang. It is not a wise move to let Wei Shou be the leader.


    In the future, when fighting with Beimo, Beimo is very likely to use Wei Shou’s affairs to provoke a crisis of trust. Even though the lord believed it, the soldiers below would not listen to it. If something goes wrong, it will lead to eternal regret.


    Chu Yao dared not bet on this future.


    He would rather Wei Shou be a little slower.


    Chen Tang said, "So, do you like Chu Jie?"


    Although Chu Yao expressed his statement that his heart knot for Chu Jie was completely opened, Chen Tang was a little cautious. She still remembered the old grievances and was worried that Chu Yao''s relief was just on the surface. She said so just to maintain balance, but in fact she was still sad inside.


    In business, Chen Tang can do everything he wants.


    In private matters, she is still biased and willful.


    Chu Yao shook his head: "He is not the best candidate, either."


    Chen Tang cheered up: "Speak and listen."


    Chu Jie is not inferior to anyone in terms of strength, qualifications, or even his experience in leading troops and prestige in the army. He led his troops and horses to a bitter and cold place, gritted his teeth and guarded Yonggu Pass for many years, and was considered a good leader, but Wei Shou was a foreign general from the Beimo who joined the middle of the journey. Compared with the two, Chu Jie''s advantage cannot even be wrong with Chen Tang, but Chu Yao is not even satisfied with him.


    Could it be that there is something you don’t know about?


    Chu Yao said, "He is afraid he doesn''t have this intention."


    Chu Jie’s biggest problem is that he does not have Wei Shou’s ambition and ambition. He stayed at Yonggu Pass to repay the life-saving grace of the former county magistrate of Longwu County. The grudges with Shiwu are getting deeper and deeper, and it is just because you fight back and forth, and there is no **** feud. Chu Jie only wanted to make a fortune, and the second was to let the soldiers and generals in the tent live a good life, and the second was to practice.


    This does not include becoming a general under his command and how much military power is in control, let alone making him the leader of the general.


    Chen Tang: “…”


    Chu Yao said again: "Actually, Zhao Dayi is not bad either."


    Chen Tang shook his head: "I still lack strength, I am afraid I can''t suppress anyone. If it were three years ago, Dayi was the only candidate, but now we have expanded our troops, and there are countless soldiers at the bottom. How many people are familiar with and close to Dayi?"


    A brave warrior is an individual with the highest strength.


    They respect the strong and only believe in the strong.


    Zhao Feng came a little late.


    The most important thing is—


    Chen Tang rubbed his eyebrows and whispered: "Dayi and Gongsu are in a relationship with each other with a calves. Gongsu is a young master, the Minister of Rites and the Military Arts Supervisor, the Censor of the Good Filial Piety and the Censor of Taichang Temple... If Dayi is allowed to take the lead, it is not to use them more, but to put them on the fire. It is not an exaggeration to say "promote and kill". I don''t know how many grudges and open guns and hidden arrows will be attracted in the future. It is reasonable and cannot do this."


    Chu Yao was filled with relief when he heard this.


    "The lord is thoughtful and you really have to consider it. Compared to the capital, Dayi prefers to stare at the border. Since this is a hot potato, why not take it yourself?"


    Chen Tang: "…I haven''t thought about this before."


    In fact, this is also the safest way.


    The three military generals she can serve under her account have their own problems, and it is not appropriate to introduce them, but she herself meets them.


    After solving the first name, the rest will be simple.


    Chu Yao said: "What is the lord''s plan?"


    This question is a bit sensitive.


    The lord didn''t follow the trend yesterday, and he must have encountered trouble and was always undecided. But I was worried about choosing one of Chu Jie and Wei Shou, so I should be a little surprised. Chu Yao’s guess was correct, and Chen Tang really had a general plan.


    Chen Tang said: "I have read a lot of information before, but I can''t let go of any of them, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages..."


    As she said that, she found a book full of notes.


    Chu Yao looked at it ten lines at a glance, and it took him more than ten breaths to close it.


    Chen Tang continued: "Military brave warriors from major clans have their own private military plots. For Kangguo, they are bombs that are uninsured and can be exploded at any time. They may not endanger the entire Kangguo, but small local frictions are inevitable. Both villages can continue hatred for hundreds of years because of a well, and fight from time to time, let alone martial warriors who are aggressive and aggressive? Once they make enemies, they will take action. Once they take action, they will escalate the situation. One side asks relatives and friends to help, and the other side asks fellow tribes to join, and they will lose control as they fight. The private military plot needs to find a way to slowly ban..."


    Chu Yao never thought of this possibility.


    After all, no powerful country has ever done this in the past. It’s not that the king does not want it, but that the group of brave warriors is difficult to be restrained. The more oppressed they are, the more they rebound. It is not impossible to force them into anger, gather people to raise an army, and kill into the palace to let the lord''s blood splatter in the court. A worried look appeared between Chu Yao''s eyebrows and eyes: "This matter should be done slowly."


    "Why did the lord suddenly have this idea?"


    Chen Tang said: "It didn''t happen suddenly, it was there from the beginning. I have been thinking about how to make this world peaceful. Can everyone be left naked? How much harm can one person cause? However, this situation is not applicable to the clash between the two forces. The superiors never look at the casualties of the soldiers at the bottom. They just need to win the battle."


    She said seriously: "True peace will only come when everyone cherishes their lives and does not dare to act rashly. In other words, when anyone is in a crisis of death, they will know the beauty of life."


    Chu Yao thought the lord’s words were a bit strange.


    But he had to agree with this.


    However, the lord’s assumption cannot be turned into reality.


    The reality is that warriors will not easily abandon their rights. If they touch the legitimacy of establishing private military corps, they will be against the entire warriors. Chen Tang closed his eyes and rubbed his swollen head that had not been sleeping for a few days. He massaged his slightly cool hands appropriately, greatly alleviating the discomfort. She said: "At the time when the war is conscripted or recruited, they are young and strong, and their combat power is guaranteed. However, the national military expenditure is too large and the risk is high. If you are not careful, you will let the local tyrants take advantage of the situation and hold the troops to your own weight. If the enemy turns back, the enemy will not be destroyed, and your own people will first show their swords... Once the local private soldiers become a climate, the next step..."


    Chen Tang did not continue to talk.


    It is enough for warriors who are born with good martial arts to rely on their families to raise private military departments. If they are recruited in the war, it is equivalent to giving them an excuse to expand properly. How can those with strong ambitions miss the opportunity? This is also one of the main reasons why the thief star has not appeared in the world for more than two hundred years and has never appeared in a truly unified country - the general environment is too beneficial to ambitious warlords.


    Speaking of which, she herself is also a standard warlord.


    Chu Yao whispered: "You can choose a more stable one."


    Chen Tang replied: "The more stable, the government soldiers who combine soldiers and farmers are stable, and the pressure on military expenditure of Kang State is also small, but the problem is also big. If Zhechong Mansion is established in various places, wars in the border areas will occur frequently in the future, and it will take too much time to mobilize troops, which will also delay the time for soldiers and farmers."


    Work without war, and go to the battlefield if there is war.


    Border operations rarely make quick decisions.


    Especially when you encounter shameless gangsters like Beimo.


    When you are full of momentum, you will stay still. If you are a little lazy, you will bring people to harass you. Once you fight back, you will run away. As long as they are not caught and wiped out, Beimo dares to keep "provoking" like this and forcibly delay the situation until they can''t be delayed.


    Looking at the dozens of battles southwards over the hundreds of years in the Beimo period, this is basically the trick. It can’t be shaken off or killed, which is annoying!


    Once the transferred soldiers fall into a long tug-of-war, the farmland will inevitably be abandoned. If the court''s supply and appeasement cannot keep up, the morale of the army will be disintegrated over time. It is also common for sergeants to fight perfunctorily or simply escape at the last minute.


    The soldiers of the government basically bring their own weapons, dry food and military uniforms.


    Although not eating the court''s food and wages can reduce the pressure on military expenditure, people are also confident that they will not cooperate. Most importantly, this condition limits the sergeant from poor peasants. Those who went to serve as a military soldier were basically well-off and wealthy.


    Chen Tang has studied countries that have adopted the system of military troops.


    Constantly summarize their pros and cons.


    This is also the main reason why she has been undecided.


    Learn from the past, the teacher of the future.


    If you want to adopt it, your problems cannot be ignored.


    Chen Tang: "My plan is to improve it on this basis. Soldiers who join the army can be discharged from the army, and they can retire after meeting their years, and they can return to ordinary people. Soldiers must be comforted and given relief when they die in battle. People''s hearts cannot be cold. The local area must be timely..."


    The countries that adopted the government military system also had pensions for the families of soldiers, but the royal court was becoming increasingly lazy, and the personnel and affairs of the local area were slack. The families of the fallen soldiers have received the news. The local area has not sent anyone to express their condolences. How can people not be cold?


    There are also some considerations when buying people’s hearts.


    Chen Tang must be catching this part.


    Chu Yao: "Retired from the army?"


    Chen Tang said naturally: "Of course, it is to retire from the army. Ordinary people in their fifties and sixties go to the battlefield. What''s the difference between them and dying? Zhechong Mansions in various places must maintain their youthful combat power."


    Entertainment training for those who are of the same age, and retirement for those who are of the same age, whether they go to farm or do business. If there is a war in the future and the battlefield reaches Kangguo''s territory, these people can quickly integrate combat power, which is better than ordinary people.


    She said: "In addition to the own arable land, the Zhechong Mansion will allow them to be self-sufficient, the royal court will also provide some military pay. This move can also strengthen the soldiers'' recognition of the Kang King''s Court..."


    Chu Yao asked a very critical question.


    "If there is no war, we will continue to recruit young and strong men to join the army..." The system of government troops is adopted and distributed to Zhechong Mansion, so they can be self-sufficient, and the lord will also increase military salary... Alas, after hearing this, the Ministry of Revenue heard it, I am afraid that it will make a sharp sound.


    Moreover, the daily training of the soldiers in the government is not all about training or farming.


    Chu Yao worried, "Will it be too wasteful?"


    Chen Tang asked: "What do you mean?"


    Chu Yao: "For example, you can participate in the Ministry of Industry..."


    Chen Tang shook his head: "This is not very appropriate."


    Chu Yao was puzzled when he heard this: "What''s wrong?"


    Have the lord forgotten how he used Zhao Feng and his troops before, and later used his brave warriors to carry out construction?


    Chen Tang also thought of this layer.


    "The nature is still different. If you want to work, you have to give people money. The fields and additional military pay in the government are bought by the soldiers. Their jobs are to cultivate fields and fight. Works beyond these two responsibilities must be paid for the rewards. Otherwise, what will the soldiers who have no war become? Free hard work? Can they do any dirty and tiring work?"


    Over time, which minister wants to build a garden, which noble wants to build a garden, and where there is a place wants to build a playground... Could it be that Chengdu let them go? It is said that anyway, they have no war and they are free to eat military pay, so they are idle too?


    "As time goes by, who still wants to join the army?"


    Both individuals and groups are afraid of labels.


    Once you contact the labels of "cool labor" and "lowly", no one will accept the recruitment in the future, because when everyone hears that they are going to join the army, they think they are for others to be coolies. It takes energy and endures all the hardships, but there is not much profit or respect.


    "What does lord mean?"


    "If you want to give people money, you must also give people respect and honor." Chen Tang closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes, and whispered, "Let''s go back and add another department to the Ministry of Rites to publicize soldiers specifically to the people. Let the common people no longer be afraid of soldiers, or even love them. At the same time, they must also restrain military discipline... In this way, when soldiers enjoy honor and love, they will naturally be brave and fearless."


    The main focus is on a two-way journey!


    Feelings seem ethereal, but they are also very powerful.


    Chu Yao remembered a fatal question.


    “Is the national treasury sufficient?”


    Chen Tang''s expression froze.


    "You have to pay for your expenses and reduce your food!"


    No matter how she does it, she doesn’t have money, so why does she feel sorry for money? Of course, good steel is used on the blade!


    Chen Tang is not planning to set up Zhechong Mansions in various places.


    It’s too troublesome to mobilize troops before the battle.


    Border line shall be used as the basis, and several locations shall be drawn at the border.


    "The large Zhechong Prefecture was established in these places, and the main direction of military use was the national border. Small Zhechong Prefecture was established in other places, mainly for suppressing local areas. It was also established around the royal capital, and the troops were used to protect the royal capital..."


    There are also imperial guards near the royal capital, which is her personal soldiers.


    Safety is relatively stable.


    "We are planning to set up the Seven Guards... If we can expand our territory in the future, we can increase it to the 12 Guards or the 24 Guards. The Seven Guards are responsible for Zhechong Prefectures in various places, and each Guard has another general... Wuhui, how do you think the name of the Seven Guards is better?"


    "Big Dipper?"


    ?|ω`)


    In the future, there will be Tianshu Wei, Tianxuan Wei, Tianji Wei, Tianquan Wei, Yuheng Wei, Kaiyang Wei and Yaoguang Wei.


    ??When it expands to the 12th guard, change another name.


    There are still many changes to the military system in history (the original one is too complicated and makes you dizzy). Except for the chief of Tianshu Guard who is a second-rank general, the other guards are all third-rank.


    ??The Zhechong Commanders in various places (I am too lazy to go to the middle and lower offices, but in fact they should be decreasing in sequence) are above the fourth rank.


    ??


    ?
