Chapter 357: Military Reform
"Different types of troops, the treatment is naturally different, just like ordinary government soldiers and forbidden soldiers!" Li Yuanjing said a little embarrassed.
The analogy is certainly not quite appropriate, but it is what it is.
It is obviously impossible to let the Haizhou army reduce the military salary, the rules have been established, and if you change it, there will be problems, it's okay to be low-key and high, you try to be high-profile?
"That's all there is to it!" Fang Xuanling nodded, he naturally understood the reason, and the court also relied on the Haizhou Army in the future, so he couldn't do too much.
Again, the merits that the Haizhou army has made now do not allow the imperial court to reduce their treatment.
Li Shimin and other ministers also nodded, which can be regarded as approving this method.
The issue of treatment is preliminarily solved, and there is no need to discuss some details of treatment here, and Li Shimin has no time to waste.
"First in the army, those who are willing to stay sign a five-year contract, and the lack of places is recruited from the civilian population! As for the station...... Let's intertune in the province! Li Shimin thought about it and decided.
"No! Inappropriate! Although this method is good, in Li Yuanjing's opinion, there are some problems.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin asked.
"What the Tang Army lacks is the comprehensive ability of expeditions, and the biggest purpose of military reform is to completely solve this problem, so that the Tang Dynasty can reach a higher level, although the interchange within the province is also stationed in other places, but the distance is still too close, and some people's influence is not only one state or two states, but even other provinces!" Li Yuanjing said directly.
Although it is not explicit, the goal is clear.
It is said that those family gates, the size of these families is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and they can even find their clan power within three or five Dao.
Of course, Li Yuanjing is not only referring to them, after all, the family has already seen the hope of being crowned, and they will definitely not destroy their future at this time.
Li Shimin also knew that Li Yuanjing was referring to the scholars of Lingnan Dao, and Li Yuanjing had told him before that he wanted to move Lingnan Dao, and he had to move, and the imperial court had no reason to refuse.
"And what do you say you should do?" Li Shimin asked.
"It's simple, zoning conscription!" Li Yuanjing suddenly smiled, and suddenly discovered the advantages of the conscription system in later generations, although it is still impossible to avoid the distinction of factions, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and factions will not disappear, but they can avoid risks to the greatest extent.
"Slice conscription?" Li Shimin was stunned, what kind of conscription method is this?
Many people also cast puzzled eyes, they realized that Li Yuanjing's intentions were not shallow, but they were still very unfamiliar with this method, and they could only touch the outer layer.
"It's very simple, the imperial court took five years to build this system, five years later, the system was formed, the military reform was completed, and the specific division was responsible for the Ministry of War, for example, there are 20,000 places in this year's Guannai Road, and the conscription area divided by the Ministry of War is Lingnan Road, so the 20,000 people who have completed the military reform in Lingnan Road will come to serve in Guannai Road, and these 20,000 people will be scattered to various troops.
Next year, the military department will divide the conscription area for Kannai Province to Henan Province, so the soldiers who have completed the military reform in Henan Province will come to serve in Guannai Province, and if they feel that it is not safe, they can divide two or even three provinces at the same time.
Of course, there are also soldiers in this road, only a certain number of them need to be maintained, and there is no need to worry about the distance, the fleet can transport the soldiers of Lingnan Road to Haizhou in half a month, and it can basically reach Chang'an in a month. ”
Guo Fushan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, suddenly brightened his eyes, and suddenly said: "This method is good!" ”
Guo Fushan's reputation is not prominent, and he can sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, because he has to thank Li Yuanjing fiercely.
In the original history, the military department of this period should have been Hou Junji, but Hou Junji rebelled in Silla and was executed, so there was nothing to do with him later.
Guo Fushan is the oldest squire in the entire military department, after Li Jing stepped down as the secretary of the military department in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Hou Junji once inspected the military department as the general of the right guard, and later went to Silla, and then was dismissed after the rebellion, and was replaced by Guo Fushan.
In fact, Guo Fushan has been in charge of the affairs of the military department over the years, although his reputation is not prominent, but this is actually a cow, but his descendants are better than him, although he is not his own, but he also belongs to the descendants of the clan.
Guo Fushan's father is the Sui Dynasty Imperial Servant Qing, Doctor Guanglu on the left, General Hou Wei on the right, and Guo Rong, the Duke of Pucheng County, Guo Fushan is Guo Rong's second son.
And Guo Rong has a cousin named Guo Luqiu, compared with the descendants of the two, Guo Rong's second son is already in the military department, and Guo Luqiu's son Guo Chang only joined the army in Liangzhou.
Guo Luqiu's vein has been supported by Guo Rong's vein in the following years, and finally a real talent has emerged decades later, Guo Ziyi.
According to the generation, Guo Fushan is Guo Ziyi's great-great-grandfather!
Of course, Guo Ziyi is not even an embryo now, but after all, he was born in a military family, Guo Fushan still has a very thorough understanding of military affairs, and he instantly saw the intention of Li Yuanjing's move.
"In the past, the rebellion was mainly based on villagers, which can avoid the gathering of villagers to the greatest extent, and the source of each group of soldiers is different, so different factions will naturally be formed, which are both competition and supervision between each other, as long as the court controls it well, the future can be expected!" Guo Fushan hurriedly explained.
Although the government military system is also very stable, it is because it is so stable that it has become what it is now.
With the proposal of military reform, Datang is bound to face a new problem, that is, to reduce the burden on the people, which no longer needs to be considered, the military reform will give birth to professional soldiers, and having professional soldiers means that the imperial court will not recruit those laborers to join the army to fight in the future.
In addition, it is also necessary to change the strategy of doing work or something, in the past, everyone had a term of service, which was mandatory, and if you didn't want to go, you could take money to offset it, or pay someone else to do the labor for you.
But now that Datang has money, it needs to help the new monetary system gain a foothold, so it has to try to give money to people to work to stimulate consumption.
These are all methods proposed by Li Yuanjing in private, and although Li Shimin has some doubts, they are also within the scope of his consideration.
"Lingnan will take on a new responsibility in the next development, many workshops in the imperial court will be laid out there, and the fleet will be stationed there to reduce the time spent on the road, so the ministers feel that the first batch of restructuring should be Lingnan Road." Li Yuanjing directly proposed.
"Well, the military department will prepare first, and send 150,000 people from the surrounding provinces to Lingnan Road, and those in Lingnan Road will be scattered to transfer out of each province!" Li Shimin nodded, and muttered secretly in his heart: "Shi family, it's time to move!" ’
