Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Soldiers
After subduing Liang Shiyan, Gao Yang ordered the whole army of Fennan to go up and down, on the general platform of the military camp, Gao Yang stood majestically in front of the handsome case, looked at the army under him, raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors, now we have captured Fennan for two months, not only to defend this city, but also to repel the besieging Yuwentai army, you are all good, are all heroes of the Great Wei, defending Fennan is the mission of our whole army, absolutely not careless!" ”
"Guarding Fennan, it is incumbent on you-" There was a neat and loud shout of soldiers in the audience, it can be seen that these times, Qi Lianmeng and He Ba Shiwen have not relaxed the training of the army, and what makes Gao Yang even more satisfied is that the new army is trapped, and now it is close to 3,000 people, and under Liu Wu's training, he has now changed from a farmer's private soldier to a soldier, plus he has experienced the battle of defending the city, so the overall demeanor is quite elite, it seems that after a few more battles, he can become a real elite, so he will not fall into the name of the battle.
"Okay, they are all warriors of the Great Wei, and the current commander appointed Qi Lianmeng as the general of the first guard, commanding 5,000 soldiers; Liang Shiyan was appointed as the general of the Second Guard, commanding 5,000 soldiers; appointed Murong Shisu as the third general of the guard, commanding 5,000 soldiers; appointed Heba Shiwen as the general of the Iron Cavalry Army, commanding 3,000 Iron Cavalry; appointed Liu Wu's trap army as the fourth guard, commanding 3,000 soldiers; Tie Niu was appointed as the general of Baibao Xuanjia's personal guard, commanding a thousand pro-army..... The highest commander of the guard army in wartime is the general, the following is the middle general, the deputy is the left and right general, and then the regiment, brigade, and team are set up" A series of appointments were issued throughout the army, and the lieutenant general Zuo did not have a trace of surprise on his face, calm as water, and it could be seen that it had been discussed before.
"In addition, set up a military supervision office, and command the military orders of the army's grain and straw, military defense, border garrison, and military horses, and directly obey the orders of the supreme commander....."
"In addition, set up the Zhichong Mansion to coordinate the training and defense orders of all guards in the army, and directly obey the orders of the supreme commander......"
"In addition, the general of the guard, the general of the Zhonglang and the generals of the left and right of the army do not have the right to command the army in peacetime, and only in wartime with the consent of the supreme commander and the letter of appointment issued by the superintendent army can they have the supreme command of the army, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion and ......rebellion."
"In addition, the army pays attention to rewards and punishments, as long as the generals and soldiers in the army have made military exploits and obtained the honorable land, if they continue to serve in the military, they only need to pay a small amount of field tax; If you die in battle, you can pass it on to your immediate family members to continue to enjoy this privilege until the end of this generation; If the privilege expires, Xuntian will be reduced to private land, and the land tax will need to be paid according to the private land, and the specific matters will be ..... according to the existing legal system."
The last appointment had the most to do with all the non-commissioned officers and generals on the scene, so everyone had excited smiles on their faces, and if it weren't for the strict military discipline, they would have cheered happily.
Since Gao Yang took over the handsome seal from Duan Shao, he has thought of using Fennan as a pilot to reform the current Eastern Wei military system, of course, not too advanced, so as not to take too big a step, you must know that the current Eastern Wei Dynasty is mainly a military aristocracy with Xianbei and nobles as the main body, not only to resist the sinicization, not to mention the military reform, the experience of the sinicization of the Northern Wei Dynasty is not far away. It is best to pilot a small reform, so Gao Yang plans to use Fennan as a pilot to transform and optimize the existing military system, after all, the power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and now is the best time.
In Gao Yang's view, the military system of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty has always followed the military system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the army is also divided into three parts: middle soldiers, town soldiers, and state and county soldiers. Mainly at the beginning of his father's Gao Huan uprising, the people who relied on it were Xianbei or other ethnic minorities and Han people who had become Xianbei, which formed the characteristics of "Xianbei people as soldiers to fight, and Han people to farm and pay grain", so the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was mainly composed of Liufang Xianbei, and a small number of Han armed forces still belonged to the private army of Hebei Haoqiang, which also gradually formed a military elite group based on Xianbei and noble in Kanto, supplemented by Hebei Han Haoqiang. Gao Huan was okay when he was there, but after a hundred years, if his descendants were not good, it would be easy to be counterattacked, forming a phenomenon of military nobles interfering in politics, which was similar to the Guanlong military group of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and eventually it was easy to lead to the phenomenon of nobles controlling the army and then usurping power.
According to the development of official history, after Gao Yang established the Northern Qi Dynasty, he basically followed the Northern Wei Dynasty and basically followed the Northern Wei Dynasty, not for the internal and external two Cao, the outer infantry Cao, and the inner cavalry Cao, which was re-established as a province, called the cavalry and foreign military provinces, eighteen by the field, twenty full of soldiers, and sixty exempt from service, mainly based on the world military system, and also implemented conscription and recruitment, but after Gao Yang, the Northern Qi Dynasty was politically corrupt, military discipline was abolished, and the combat effectiveness of the internal and external armies controlled by the imperial court was low, and it could only be recruited from the major Xianbei nobles and Hebei Haoqiang, which led to the huge power of the Xianbei Xungui group. The phenomenon of military interference in internal affairs.
Gao Yang absolutely does not allow this phenomenon to appear again in the official history, which is why he wants to take Fennan as a pilot to carry out military reform, the early use of the Tang Dynasty military system model, enough food and soldiers, first teach and then fight, those who have constant production have perseverance, those who are equal in wealth take the strong, those who are equal in strength take rich, and those who have even financial resources take more Ding, and the interests of the Han people, the Han Han people and the Xianbei nobles are firmly bound to their chariots. In this way, he can firmly control his strength, check and balance the distribution of interests of the three parties, and gain both prosperity and loss. However, the advantage of the government and military system is that the integration of soldiers and civilians in the early stage can not only release part of the labor force and save the country's military expenditure, but also ensure economic and agricultural construction and accumulate wealth. But once the country becomes strong, the conscription system will inevitably be the mainstream model, and only real professional soldiers will have greater combat effectiveness, but the conscription system is a double-edged knife, once it is not used well, it is easy to cause the central government to be weak, and the local government is sitting on a large separatist situation, but Gao Yang has already had a draft in his heart, and he only needs to wait for it to be slowly advanced in the future, and the rice must be eaten bite by bite.
In fact, Gao Yang has always had this idea in his heart, originally he wanted to ask Li Mu for guidance, but at that time he was only a hussar general in the army, not the authority of the commander, so he kept this idea deeply hidden, and waited until Duan Shao rushed to Youzhou, and he was directly appointed by Gao Huan to the position of the supreme commander of Fennan, and then after Liang Shiyan joined, Gao Yang probably told Liang Shiyan about this idea, but he didn't expect Liang Shiyan to be a military handsome. At a glance, he comprehended the central idea described by Gao Yang, and described the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty where he was located.
It turned out that Yuwentai came to Guanzhong when he first came to Guanzhong and organized the soldiers of the six towns who flowed into the Guanzhong area into six armies, but the soldiers were not more than 10,000, and the Han people were surrounded by strong and powerful people, staring at this group of foreign Xianbei people, Yuwentai knew that once their interests were touched, these people would definitely jump up and join Gao Huan and chase down their own people, so under Su Sui's suggestion, they continued to organize and expand the Guanlong Han people's wealthy clan, and established the organization of the Eight Pillars, the Twelve Generals, and the Twenty-four Kaifu, but because they were too impatient, The real military power was in the hands of the Twenty-Four Kaifu, and he indirectly obeyed his orders, completely emptied the Eight Pillars State, greatly offended the nobles of Guanlong, and laid a hidden danger for the usurpation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty later.
