This matter can be put aside for the time being, and Ling Hao has to solve another matter first, such as the determination and implementation of the decision on the establishment of the army in terms of the military system of Wuchuan Town.

  In fact, in Ling Hao's view, the military town system of the Northern Wei Dynasty should only be regarded as a transitional period in this world, and it is impossible to continue to use it forever, he needs a military system that is more efficient, more disciplined, and can give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness.

  He pondered carefully which military system would be applicable to the present and which military establishment would be applicable to the real situation in this world.

  This has to be compared, such as the slave military system that began to be carried forward from the Xia and Shang periods

  According to the "Shangshu Gan Oath", the first slave state born in the history of Shenzhou in the 21st century BC - Xia was born, and as an important part of the state power, the army was produced at the same time, and the wartime army organization and reward and punishment system were established. King Xia was in charge of the country's military and political power, and the main political officer was the "man of six things", and he was the general of the army in wartime. According to oracle bone inscriptions, the Shang Dynasty had the Shang king as the supreme military commander, and the noble ministers and the leaders of the Fang State as the senior military generals. The merchant army established the establishment of "division" units, and established a military service and mobilization system of "ascending people" and "ascending to the public" and a training system in the form of archery, royalty, and field hunting. The army is divided into chariot soldiers and apprentices, mainly chariot soldiers, and the main equipment is chariots driven by animal power. The military system of the Western Zhou Dynasty has developed greatly compared with the Xia and Shang, and the strength of the central standing army has expanded, with a total of 22 divisions, including the "Western Sixth Division", the "Chengzhou Eighth Division" and the "Yin Eighth Division". "The Lile expedition came from the Son of Heaven", although the vassal states and some noble ministers had a small number of troops, they had to obey the unified dispatch of the king of Zhou.

  The characteristics of this slave society military system are: first, it can adapt to the political system centered on the king's power, the king is the supreme military commander, often personally commanding the army to go on expeditions, although the army of the princes of Fang has a certain independence, but in wartime it must be called by the king.

  Second, the standing army evolved from the Wang Guard, and continued to expand, playing a major role in the conquest, and the army mainly relied on temporary conscription in wartime.

  Third, it is necessary to implement a system of military service for slave owners, aristocrats, blood races, and a civilian military system in which the military and government are integrated and there is no distinction between civil and military forces.

  Fourth, military and political officials should implement the Shiqing Shilu system, which is compatible with the patriarchal system.

  In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was a period of great changes when slavery was gradually disintegrated and feudalism was slowly formed, the princes and monarchs representing the interests of the emerging landlord class reformed the military system one after another while reforming the political and economic systems to adapt to the smooth realization of political and economic changes.

  For example, the State of Qi "made internal affairs to send military orders", Zheng State "made Qiu Fu", Lu State "made Qiu Jia", and Jin State "made a field" and "served as a state soldier". In particular, during the Warring States Period, Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Ying to implement law changes, establish a military merit system, improve household registration, organize Shiwu, and collect military taxes from farmers. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a large number of military monographs represented by Sun Tzu also appeared. In the fierce competition between changing the law and trying to become strong, striving to be the hegemon, and then unifying the world by force, the reformers and innovators rose, and the conservatives sank, and there were only a dozen of more than 100 countries left at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period to the beginning of the Warring States Period, and finally all of them were unified by the Qin State. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many major changes in the military system: first, some vassal states implemented reforms to increase their national and military strength, and the Zhou royal family declined and lost its ability to control the vassal states.

  Second, a county and county conscription system was created, which mainly consisted of peasants, and the military levies were also borne by the peasants, thus expanding the source of troops and military endowments.

  Third, the military and administrative establishments should be combined to facilitate war mobilization. The army has expanded, and the structure has developed from "division" to "army."

  Fourth, the scale and area of warfare have expanded, from the plains to the mountainous areas and the river network areas, and in addition to the chariot troops, there are infantry, cavalry, and sailors, and infantry warfare has become the main form of warfare instead of chariot warfare.

  Fifth, there was a clear division of duties between the civil and military forces, and a system of sending troops and rewarding military merits by military charms was produced. Sixth, the state system of military-political integration has been transformed into a highly centralized military system centered on the monarch that is relatively independent of the administrative system.

  The feudal society of Shenzhou experienced the evolution process from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, from the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song, Liao, and Xia Jin dynasties to the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. Correspondingly, the feudal military system also went through the initial period, the development period and the late period.

  After the unification of the six kingdoms in 221 BC, in order to meet the needs of the centralized monarchy and feudal state government, the emperor was gradually established as the commander, the central army as the main force, the Chinese army and the foreign army on the outside, the local army and the border army echoed each other, the regular army and the local armed forces combined, the internal emphasis on the outside and the light on the outside, and the heavy control of the light armed forces, which was inherited and developed by the feudal dynasties of successive dynasties.

  For example, the military system of the Qin and Han dynasties can be roughly divided into three parts: the central army, the local army, and the border army.

  Due to the Han Dynasty and the Qin system, its Beijing division soldiers (Central Army) included the Southern Army and the Northern Army. Lang Guan, Guard, and Tun Bing, respectively, were led by Lang Zhongling (Guangluxun), Wei Wei, and Lieutenant (Zhi Jinwu), and were in charge of the internal and external guards of the palace, the guard, and the Jingshi garrison. When Emperor Wu was in power, the Northern Army was increased to eight schools, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was changed to five battalions. The local army has three branches of troops, namely, officers, knights, and sailors, and is assisted by the county lieutenant (metropolitan lieutenant) and the county lieutenant to guard and command, and conducts archery, cavalry, and battle formation training every year, and conducts a "capital test" in the autumn. Maintain public order in peacetime, and be transferred to the army in wartime. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty rested with the people, and issued an edict to dismiss the county governor and local soldiers.

  The Qin and Han dynasties were mainly conscripted, and men were generally 17 years old and served at the age of 23~60, with a service period of about 2 years. Conscription is not enough to recruit and replenish the army, and prisoners are also conscripted as soldiers. After the Eastern Han Dynasty dismissed the county soldiers, it was changed to recruit soldiers, supplemented by conscription.

  These are also the most widely used military systems in the world, so are there any better military systems to choose from?

  Naturally, there is.

  During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in a state of dispersion and division, and the military was prosperous, so the military system was complex and changeable.

  The prominent ones in the new military system are:

  First, the metropolitan governorship. In order to mobilize local forces to suppress the people's resistance and maintain the crumbling central power, the ruler expanded the local power, and the state pastor and assassin Stoga general were given the title of general to supervise the military of several states in one state, or to supervise the military of China and foreign countries, and to specialize in the military, civil, and financial power of one side. Although the people's revolt was suppressed, it also formed a local separatist force that threatened the central government.

  Second, the world military system. In the process of the rise of local forces, a large number of privately armed soldiers and subordinates were recruited to gradually rise to the government army, and the soldiers maintained a feudal dependency relationship with their generals, and the number of professional soldiers increased. In order to maintain a certain number of soldiers, the ruling class has compiled the families of military personnel into military registration, becoming "scholars" and forcing them to serve in the army for generations. The scholars not only became the permanent bearers of military service, but also the hostages of the ruling class in control of military power. Under the world military system, the status of military personnel is low, the quality is poor, and the combat effectiveness is weak.

  Third, the tribal military system of ethnic minorities along the border. With the decline of centralization, the armed forces of some ethnic minorities in the border gradually rose and began to expand to the rich areas of the Central Plains. Militarily, it retains its own ethnic characteristics and adopts the Han military system, forming a unique tribal military system. For example, the military household system and the town military system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and so on.

  The government military system was founded in the sixteenth year of the Great Unification of the Western Wei Dynasty (550 AD), with 12 generals of 8 pillars, 24 generals of the Kaifu State, and 24 armies. In the early days, the government soldiers supervised each other, brought their own bows and knives, did not make up households, and the generals used Xianbei surnames no matter what nationality, and the soldiers also took the surname of the commander, with strong tribal soldier characteristics.

  During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the feudal absolutist centralized system was rebuilt and developed, and the early government and military system was reformed. The government soldiers are farmers in the townships and soldiers in the army, and the integration of soldiers and peasants and the system of integrating soldiers and peasants are implemented. The dispatch and command of the government soldiers are all under the imperial court, and there are 16 guards in the center (12 guards in the early Sui Dynasty), and the military offices under the jurisdiction of the 12 guards. According to the strategy of "maintaining the Chinese and foreign ministers, emphasizing the head and ignoring the foot" and "focusing on the important and controlling the light", the military government is distributed in the capital and Chong important areas. Every year, the government soldiers go to the Beijing Division, some of which are stationed in important military places, and they are recruited and transferred by virtue of the Fu in wartime. In the Tang Dynasty, the Zhichong Mansion was divided into upper, middle and lower classes, with 800~1200 commanders, and there were 634 prefectures at the most in the country, about 600,000 people. In addition to the government soldiers who are the southern forbidden soldiers, the central forbidden army also has the northern forbidden soldiers from the recruitment. The Sui and Tang dynasties also set up military departments, which served as the military departments of the six government organs of the three central provinces, and were in charge of military administration and the selection and appointment of military attachés. The border military institutions include towns, garrisons, passes, armies and guards. The popular armed forces include solidarity soldiers, soldiers, etc. The Tang Dynasty also formulated relatively complete military laws, such as the law of guarding and prohibiting, the law of good rejuvenation, the style of military departments, and the style of military departments, so as to legalize the military system. After the middle period, the government military system collapsed, and the conscription system began to rise again.

  At the end of the Tang Dynasty, each section of the envoy relied on the local power under his control to raise a large number of troops to contend with the central government, changing the situation of "heavy at home and light on outside", but because of this, there was a chaotic situation of Anshi Rebellion and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in which "the arrogant soldiers are chasing the commanders, and the handsome and strong are betrayed".
