Chapter 213: Beifu

Liu Bei is very concerned about the government soldier system, and it is not good to promote it on a large scale in a hurry, which needs to be piloted.

Zhaoyangyi is very good, and the Northern Army can be used for testing.

Soon after Guan Ping returned to Xiangyang, Liu Bei conscripted Tian Xin into Xiangyang and inquired about matters related to the restructuring of the Northern Army.

The government soldiers and government soldiers are naturally soldiers under the direct management of the general's government, and there is no management entanglement with local county officials.

Tian Xin subconsciously dislikes military interference in politics, and does not like the state pastor, state assassin history and general.

When planning the government and military system, it bypassed the local counties and became a system of its own.

The basis of the military cantonment lies in the military cantonment, and the barren land that is easy to be reclaimed is allocated to house the army and the military dependents to carry out the military cantonment, and such military cantonment strongholds are under the direct management of the general's government and do not intersect with local counties.

300 small military strongholds, set up a Qubu; There were 700 large military strongholds and battalion headquarters were set up. There is no 100-household scale tun department, or 1,000-household scale department.

The soldiers of the Qu Department and the battalion headquarters were divided into five teams, and each team took turns to serve and go out on expeditions, except during defensive wars.

A war within a thousand miles, sending troops three times; Thousands of miles away, send troops twice.

Zhaoyangyi implements the "Maicheng Household Law", and a maximum of three people are Ding Zhuang in one household; If Ding Zhuang is elected as a government soldier, the grace limit for Ding Zhuang in one household is five.

The number of government soldiers is vacant, and they are selected from the nearest good families in the county and county, and the rich households are given priority to the strong households, and the strong households are given priority to the many sub-households.

"The government soldiers are awarded the main business field, the sideline field, and the military field, with a minimum of 50 acres and a maximum of 100 acres. All are exempt from tax, forced labor, and those who apply for the levy can raise their own swords, clothes, shoes and socks, a bow, 30 arrows, and three buckets of japonica rice or fried noodles. ”

"Armor, crossbows, spears, and banners are allocated and maintained by the arsenal, and they are collected and returned to the treasury after they are completed."

"Encouraging the families of the government soldiers to keep donkeys and horses can not only be beneficial to farming, but also conducive to conquest."

"The soldiers and farmers of the government gather to practice in the headquarters in their spare time, two exercises a month, two days each. All year round, in summer and autumn, all the tests are taken by the headquarters, and all the tests are five days, and the school queue and martial arts are examined; In the winter and spring, the general's mansion was assembled, and the military academy was engaged in civil and military affairs, and warriors and talents were selected and trained. ”

Tian Xin recounted that Liu Bei listened carefully and asked for details from time to time, because the government soldiers were five times, and there was always a group of troops assembled in the camp where the general's mansion was located to stand by, acting as a mobile force.

Then the two assemblies in the winter and spring are not the remaining four gatherings, but two groups of two, alternating for big exercises.

There is an overlap between the government military system and the restored county lieutenant and county capital examination system; The county lieutenant is in charge of the recruitment of soldiers in his county...... But now, how can there be a rich population for the county lieutenant to recruit, and there is no surplus population for all tests and selections.

So the county lieutenants are very embarrassed, after all, the Han Dynasty now has eight armies, the Fifth Army, the Northern Army, the Zhenbei Army, and the Guards.

Who would dare to disband these eight armies?

If you want to reunite and restore the run-in organization, it will cost time, and the most intuitive embodiment of the time cost is the expenditure of military rations.

If the war enters a phase of stalemate, and the armies successively eliminate the old and weak soldiers, then the duties of the lieutenant will gradually take effect and the authority will be expanded.

From the initial placement of veterans, to the construction of the reserve system on weekdays, the suppression of bandits to maintain law and order, to the recruitment of reservists during the war, this is the responsibility of the county lieutenant.

But now that the government military system is thrown, the county guard and the county commander are deprived of their military powers, which is not a big deal; But the conscription and capital test powers that the county lieutenant had just resumed had become ornaments...... However, it can also be used as a supplement to the government soldier system, and the shortage of government soldiers can be filled by the county lieutenant who is responsible for selecting a suitable good family.

If the pilot of the government military system is to be implemented, Tian Xin's northern army has Zhaoyangyi, which can play on its own, and constantly optimize and correct it in the process of implementation, so as not to touch too many contradictions.

In the Hanzhong Plain, the common people and Haoqiang were relocated by Cao Cao, which was also suitable for Wei Yan to implement the government military system in Hanzhong.

The general outline of the military system is already understood, and this is only a plan, and the details will be revised when the test is carried out.

The most direct advantage of the government military system is that Tian Xin opposes the high-ranking generals to lead the military government, so naturally he also opposes the state pastor to seize the military power.

Whether it is Wei or Jiangdong, the power of the local governors, county guards, and governors is getting bigger and bigger, and the system of governors is becoming more and more mature and strong, which is simply more than the state pastor.

Now in the system of the Northern Expeditionary Army, there are Anzhong General Xu Zuo, Yangwu General Meng Da, Yingyang General Luo Qiong, Huya Supervisor Meng Xing, and Jianxin General Shen Yi who moved from Hanxing County to Zhaoyangyi.

Counting the headquarters of the Northern Army, there are a total of six military numbers and thirty-two battalions; Tian Xin's three battalions, Wudang Houguo recruited three battalions of infantry, and seven households and one soldier of Zhaoyang Yi recruited five battalions of Zhaoyang soldiers.

A total of forty-three battalions digested the forces of Meng Da, Shen Yi, and Xu Zuo, with a total strength of more than 33,000 people.

If the establishment continues, Tian Xin still has about 15,000 troops in his hands to surrender to Tuntian, which can also be gradually reorganized.

But Liu Bei didn't dare to compile it, and Tian Xin didn't dare to expand it anymore...... With the completion of the two wars of Duyang and Wankou, many military officials from the army were promoted to the level of tun general and qu general, and several outstanding people were promoted to battalion governors.

If we continue to collect and surrender troops, there will definitely be problems in the Northern Army.

The 32 battalions of the Northern Army implemented the government soldier system, with five government soldiers, and there were only six battalions and 5,000 people in the standing reserve.

5,000 people are enough for emergency use; The three battalions of Tian Xin's Xiahou Guard, and the three battalions of the Wudang Guards can be regarded as standing reserves; The five battalions of the Zhaoyang Soldiers will also implement a management system similar to that of the government soldiers.

Then there are thirteen battalions in the standing force of the entire Zhaoyangyi, and when the main force of the army is in the northern expedition to the Central Plains to seek a decisive battle, the northern army will stay behind to recuperate, and with the cooperation of Tianyu's Nanyang soldiers, it is enough to block the Wei army in the direction of Wuguan.

The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains sought a decisive battle, and there was no saying that Tian Xin was sent to the field at the beginning, otherwise Guan Yu would be unhappy, and many generals would also complain.

Leave Tian Xin at the critical moment to use it again...... As long as Tian Xin's subordinates are always kept and not used, then they can contain part of the general reserve of the Wei army to stay in Lantian and dare not easily reinforce the Central Plains battlefield.

Liu Bei's thoughts were slow, and he counted the account: "In this case, Xiaoxian can recruit more subordinates, try out the system of government soldiers in Zhaoyang, and establish northern government soldiers." I am in Xiangyang, and I will often go to Zhaoyang for review. In addition, I made Wenchang implement the government soldier system in Hanzhong, and moved Wenchang to the general of the expedition to the west, and the department was the Xifu soldier. ”

"If the government soldier system is outstanding, I will send Zilong to implement it in Chengdu and create a guard army."

"The five armies should not be changed, and they should be garrisoned."

Liu Bei had his own measurements, and Tian Xin did not force the Fifth Army to follow and reorganize the government soldiers.

The system of the five armed forces is too huge, and one-third of the soldiers are private soldiers of the generals, and they are the main force of the Han army, and they are mobile corps, and the soldiers are replenished as they retire, and the cost and risk of rashly changing the system are too high.

It would be much more convenient if, in addition to the five-armed service system, five military groups of the southeast, south, and northwest guards were set up to supplement them.

Before the Central Plains won or lost, there was no point in thinking about what would happen ten years later.

The only thing you can do is to do what you are doing well, plan ahead, and don't make mistakes.

Liu Bei's disposition, Tian Xin had no opinion, and gladly accepted it.
