"Emperor, I don't know how to recruit this 'folk warrior'?"

I know that with the power of the Infinite Emperor, every word and deed must have a deep meaning, and the things that are said are often not as simple as they seem.

As Li Shimin's think tank, Du Ruhui was naturally responsible for the work of asking questions, and hurriedly asked for advice without shame, lest he misunderstand Emperor Wuji's "strategy".

It can be seen from the previous process of solving the salt shortage, the grain shortage, and preparing for the next year's disaster, the rings are interconnected, the sets are connected, and the whole body is moved by one step, and the plan of one step and one hundred steps can be seen.

This Wuji Emperor acts, often likes to crush the past with the general trend of Yangmou, and no matter how much you can, you can't resist the general trend of pushing and decaying.

The little tricks that the family gate valve engaged in to slander the reputation of [Wujimen], the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers did not know.

I thought that Emperor Wuji would be furious and use thunderous means to kill those rumor-jumping clowns to the scum.

Not only did the emperor not react, but he also ordered his disciples not to pay attention to the substitute ghosts who were instigated by the family gate lords to slander the [Wuji Gate].

Let him bark in every way, I stood still, and I didn't allow me to punish the family gate valve for being miserable and miserable, and the arrangement was clear and unspeakable.

Now that I think about it, it's actually the right thing to do.

After all, those substitute ghosts who were pushed out by the family gate valve and tested the reaction of Emperor Wuji.

It's just some nerds who are stupid when they read the words of the saints, and they only know how to follow the crowd.

When they were slightly instigated and misled, they were indignant and spoke up for the people, regardless of whether the people wanted to be represented by them.

Emperor Wuji, a mortal immortal with a true body, if he was a gun with them, he would feel that he was thinking like two fools who claimed justice, but he would fall behind.

The toad lies on the face of the shoe, and it is disgusting if it does not bite people.

Dealing with them is like stepping on stinky shit, and you can step on it again if you are angry?

There are such stupid people in all dynasties and generations, and there are quite a few of them, but the problem is that they are just stupid, and they really can't be said to be bad people.

If you really have to deal with these kind-hearted fools, they can pull your IQ to the same level as them, and then beat you with their rich experience!

Therefore, Fang Mou Du judged the two of them, even if they thought they were scheming, but they didn't dare to rashly guess what the emperor said, whether there were other ingenious things they hadn't thought of.

"Well, I really have some ideas about this, but I need His Majesty's consent!"

Bai Yuqi, who was just planning to come up with an idea casually, suddenly had a thought in Fu Ling's heart, and said with interest: "It's called the 'mercenary system'!"

"Mercenaries?"

This new term made the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers who were already killed in the sea of corpses cheer up and listened carefully.

What the Tang Dynasty is now adopting should be inherited from the Western Wei Dynasty, the "government military system" created by Emperor Wen Yuwentai.

That's right! It is Li Shimin's grandmother's father, and his grandmother's grandfather Yu Wentai created the township soldier system to reform the government military system.

The government soldiers usually ploughed the fields and cultivated the land for the people, and in case of war, they prepared their own food and weapons, and went into battle to kill the enemy under the summons of the Zhichong Prefecture.

The purpose of the government military system is to reduce the state's military expenditures, and in combination with the cantonment system, it not only strengthens agricultural production, but also solves the problem of logistical supply, and also expands the source of troops.

As for whether the government military system is reasonable, let's not talk about it, after all, there is no most correct system, only the system that is most in line with the times.

It is not that the excellent system of later generations will necessarily be suitable for the Datang time and space, so Bai Yuqi does not plan to carry out mandatory reforms of various systems in the Datang time and space.

But this did not prevent him from trying to use some systems that he felt should be applicable in the Datang time and space.

"Yes, most of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty now gather during wartime and hide among the people in their spare time, although they can play a role in hiding soldiers from the people. ”

"But only in wartime will they be summoned by the Zhichong Mansion, and the Zhichong Lieutenant and Guoyi Lieutenant appointed by the court will practice in battle, and then other generals will gather the government troops to go to battle. ”

In addition to the somewhat unpleasant and unpleasant meaning of grinding guns in battle, less training will cause insufficient training and low combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and more training will bring a burden to the soldiers who bring their own dry food to participate in the training, affecting agricultural affairs. ”

"Moreover, the training of soldiers by the Zhichong Prefecture and the leadership of other generals will also cause the situation that the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers, although it can effectively suppress the power of the generals in command, but it also weakens the combat power that the troops can play in disguise. ”

At the same time, the soldiers need to prepare their own clothing, supplies, bows and arrows, saddle bridles, weapons, armor and mounts and other heavy items, if the soldiers do not do it, the danger of going to the battlefield will be greatly increased, it will be difficult to exert combat power, and at the same time, it will be difficult to form a system like a rabble. ”

Bai Yuqi analyzed the current government military system a little: "If it can be purchased, not everyone can do it...... Those who can purchase equipment are not necessarily the most brave and capable of fighting, and it is difficult to give full play to the true strength of the soldiers. ”

The Tang monarchs and ministers couldn't help but look at each other.

I didn't expect that the government military system had so many shortcomings in the eyes of Emperor Wuji, but hasn't it been done like this for hundreds of years?

As for the soldiers to bring their own weapons and armor, there is no way to do it, otherwise they can't recruit enough soldiers at all, they want to be professional soldiers with unified weapons and armor under their command, but the country can afford it?

"Nowadays, there is no shortage of soldiers among the people of Datang. ”

"A large number of government soldiers who hid soldiers in the people were more or less people who had experienced the battle array. ”

"Some generals still have the so-called 'tribes' attached to them, and some big families even have private soldiers under them. ”

"These forces are actually idle in peacetime, and at the same time, they may be considered a potential source of troops when the central court is strong. ”

Bai Yuqi reminded slightly: "But once the court is weak, these forces will become a potential 'threat', I don't need to elaborate on this, you know!"

"The biggest disadvantage of the government military system is that the soldiers need to prepare their own weapons and equipment, and the state cannot afford to provide for them, but there is a lack of effective control. ”

"The soldiers' investment in weapons and equipment can only be recovered by relying on military merit rewards, but it is often impossible to recover, after all, only a few can obtain military merit. ”

Bai Yuqi waved his hand, interrupting the intention of the Tang monarch and ministers who wanted to speak and stopped trying to ask, and finished his words by himself: "This has actually led to the fact that the country has actually been in a state of asking for soldiers without reciprocating, and you can imagine the resistance of the common people to service. ”
