Chapter 253 - Great Training
"The students have a different view on the matter."
After Li Jing finished expressing his opinion, Han Cheng thought for a moment and said out loud.
"Tell me what you think."
Hearing Han Cheng say this, Li Jing was a little surprised, but he didn't put on a posture like maintaining the dignity of the teacher, and reprimanded Han Cheng, but asked Han Cheng to express his opinion.
For the disciple in front of him plus the prospective son-in-law, Li Jing did not underestimate it, in the past year or so, this kid has proved his ability to himself with his practical actions.
Whether it's military life, business, or some other things, this kid seems to know a little bit and can often say something that makes people shine.
Han Cheng was not polite, and arched his hand at Li Jing and said: "What the teacher said is reasonable, and the students agree with it, but when attacking Goguryeo, the students feel that the Supreme will not only send one or two generals to lead the troops to attack, but will personally conquer ......"
Li Jing's eyes changed, and he didn't refute it out loud.
Because judging from the series of actions of the Supreme Supreme after his ascension to the throne today, there is a chance that what Han Cheng said will happen.
After all, unlike the rest of the emperors, today's Supreme does not like to stay in the palace, but likes to constantly patrol the country, and wants to do many things himself, so as to highlight his talent.
Especially in the matter of fighting, today's Supreme likes to plan the most......
"And the students feel that there are not a few soldiers and horses used, and it is very likely that the whole country will be ......"
Han Cheng told some of the news he had received from the afterlife.
After saying this, he didn't say anything more, and Li Jing also remained silent, lowering his eyes.
After this state lasted for a long time, Li Jing spoke again: "This is why you want to continue to increase the number of Ma Yi soldiers?" ”
Han Cheng nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case.
Li Jing was silent again.
"Recruiting soldiers is not a simple matter, and it needs to be supported by money and food.
Now that there is too much labor, normal farming has been affected, more and more taxes are levied, and the people are becoming more and more miserable, and if the number of soldiers continues to increase, there will be fewer people working in the fields, and the output of food will be further reduced......"
Li Jing looked a little worried and said: "And there are too many soldiers, it is easy to arouse the jealousy of the people above......
Han Chenggang wanted to say that he could make money by doing business, but after hearing Li Jing's words, he swallowed all the rest of his words back into his stomach.
With this article, no matter how much the rest is said, no matter how good it is, it is useless.
"Why don't you recruit some more township regiments?"
Han Cheng slapped the draft in his heart and said it out loud.
Hearing the word "Township Tuan", Li Jing's eyebrows couldn't help jumping.
He knows what the Qingque Township Regiment is like!
The Qingque Township Regiment, which was formed last year, has even surpassed most of the county soldiers in combat effectiveness to this day.
The cost of each Qingque Township Regiment soldier even exceeds that of the county soldiers, and he really can't afford to recruit such a township regiment, and he doesn't dare to recruit again.
Han Cheng naturally knew what his father-in-law was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a township regiment like the Qingque Township League, and there is a certain difference from the ordinary township regiment, but a township regiment name, and during the slack time, the surplus labor force of the right age will be gathered in batches and incorporated into the township regiment for ten or twenty days of military training, so that they can know some military affairs."
In this way, if something really happens, you only need to gather these people to get a group of more qualified soldiers......"
"This is similar to Shang Jun's practice of ploughing and warfare back then."
Li Jing spoke up and pointed out the root cause of Han Cheng's method.
After saying this, his brow furrowed again.
"You're not optimistic about the battle of Goguryeo after that?!"
He stared at Han Cheng and asked with a somewhat serious look.
"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but I think it's always right to make more preparations...... Moreover, Mayi is close to the Turks, and the Turks are now subjugated and dare not make any changes, which does not mean that there will be no changes in the future. ”
Han Cheng thought about it for a while, but still chose to tell some truth.
"Okay, I know about this, let me think about it again......"
After the two talked for a while, Li Jing ended the topic with a loud voice.
He didn't want to get too entangled with Han Cheng on this issue.
Regarding Han Cheng's somewhat faint behavior of the Great Sui, Li Jing was a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Like the rest of the era, Li Jing did not think that Goguryeo, which was located in the northeast corner, could hold off the Great Sui.
During the reign of Emperor Wen, the attack on Goguryeo ended halfway because the situation was still unstable.
Now it's a different story.
Today's Great Sui soldiers are strong and strong, and the grain and grass in the big warehouses are piled up, which is enough to support large-scale military operations.
Moreover, the troubles of the north and the west have been relieved, and the Chen kingdom in the south has been destroyed for many years, and the people have gradually become obedient.
In such a situation, how could Goguryeo resist it?
This disciple of his own is smart and smart, but he is a little too worried.
Thinking like this, Li Jing couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Speaking of which, I'm still young! I have experienced too few things, and I don't have a complete understanding of the strength of the Great Sui today, so such an idea will appear.
Thinking so, he picked up a book of soldiers again and studied it slowly.
In the past, when he picked up the military book, no matter how upset he was, he quickly became immersed in it and quieted down.
But today was different, and after sitting here for a while, he still looked restless.
Although his eyes swept over and over again in the military book, the things recorded on it did not enter his heart.
After reluctantly reading it like this for a while, Li Jing finally sighed, put down the military book in his hand, reached out and rubbed it on his forehead, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
I just said that kid is worried about the sky, why is it that now, he has become worrying?
With the strength of the Great Sui, how could Goguryeo be an opponent?
He wanted to ignore these things, but the meaning that Han Cheng had conveyed just now had been lingering in his heart and could not be dispersed.
Li Jing himself didn't expect that he would be confused by these unreasonable words said by this kid.
After thinking about it like this for a while, Li Jing probably understood why he was like this.
Because since he knew this kid, this kid didn't seem to have said a word of lie, and what he said and did was always determined by the afterthought, without exaggeration......
But this time, things are different from before, now, the Supreme has not ordered an attack on Goguryeo, it is still early, these are just the speculations of himself and others......
