Before crossing over, Guan Yi had heard a sad but true joke.

It is said that in 1894, the Sino-Japanese War broke out. As a result of the war, Japan won and lost. The Manchu Qing Dynasty ceded land reparations, and Japan's stomach burst...... However, as the victorious power, when the treaty was signed, Japan was in turmoil and mourning. On the side of the defeated country, in addition to the people in Liaodong and Shandong, which became battlefields, the war disaster was bad. The lives of the people in other provinces have been largely unaffected......

This is because Japan has mobilized every part of its national strength for this war, used it effectively, and overdrafted it. And what about my Daqing, well, this battle is a matter of Li Hongzhang in Beiyang, and it is about us? If we lose, Beiyang will be deflated, and if we win, Beiyang will take benefits, what are we blindly involved in? Besides, it's Beiyang itself, in order to preserve its strength, didn't it fight to the end?

Such a thing, what a joke. Unfortunately, as a Chinese, I feel more sad.

Although Ji Han's national strength at this time has been significantly enhanced, he has left Dongwu far behind. But compared with the Jin Kingdom, its background is still a little worse. In this war that stakes the fortunes of the country, if you want to have a good result, of course, you must thoroughly mobilize every ounce of national strength.

On September 25, the Great Sima Mansion issued a conscription order: all counties, counties, townships, and pavilions, and those between the ages of 20 and 40. Draw one out of three! Those who have an only child in the family and have no heirs are not levied, those who have disabilities or mental disorders are not levied, and within three generations of the family, there are direct elders who are remnants of the army or there are direct elders who died in the king's affairs, and they are not forcibly conscripted.

Those who were conscripted as soldiers were to gather in the county seat within five days, and then the conscription commissioner sent by Shi Yamen, the commander of the army of the Great Sima Mansion, was to verify their identity, and then they were taken to relevant places for intensive training. Those who have been requisitioned as civil husbands must arrange their home affairs in the past few months, and when the new order arrives, they must quickly assemble at the designated place.

As soon as such an order was issued, all the officials up and down Ji Han immediately jumped up as if they had been pricked in the ass by a needle, and then quickly pounced on the grassroots level.

Needless to say, Yizhou's official style has always been very good, and the execution is super high. Besides, Yizhou's side has stopped a little bit in the past eight years, and it used to be one of two for a long time, conscription? We are the most familiar!

What about Yongliang's side? Perhaps the execution of the officials is a little worse. But under the supervision of the test method and the black-faced King Changyan, it was not much worse. Moreover, there is another advantage between Yongliang and the Chengdu Plain: because Yongliang has been a battlefield for a long time, and there are many foreign races, the quality of the soldiers here is generally higher.

Moreover, due to the unremitting preaching of Si Wencao of the Ji Han government for many years, the illiteracy rate of the people in the three states of Yiyongliang under the control of Ji Han may not have improved much, but their knowledge is not much higher than that of the people of Jin and Wu. Their sense of national identity has also been significantly strengthened. Therefore, although the policy of drawing one from three states is very cruel, the people of the three states are frowning, and the old people are sighing and saying things like "Evil, there is another war", there is not much resistance.

"Uncle Fang, the conscription order has been executed quite smoothly, right?"

"It's going well, please rest assured. At present, it is only the sixth day of October, and the soldiers of seven or eight counties around Chang'an have all been in place! General Wei has already begun to send out personnel to train this part of the recruits. It's not much the same anywhere else. ”

"Well, if you just draw one from the Han people, the 300,000 troops that this official has scheduled are not enough. So, this interracial? ”

"This is also going well, and the leaders of many tribes such as the Fuqu tribe and the Jielu tribe have come to Xiaguan and asked for more conscription quotas for their tribes."

"Humph! Count them as acquaintances. ”

"Hahaha, Da Sima, this annihilation of Bald and Nan Anqiang is indeed a great deterrent to these guys, but the key issue is that the reward you give is also very high."

Speaking of which, since the government now has money, the settling-in allowance is indeed high: ordinary Han people join the army, and the settling-in allowance is 10,000 yuan. And during the expedition, the whole family is exempt from tax. Not only that, but if they are crippled on the battlefield, the state is responsible for resettlement. In the case of those who die in battle, the surviving family members of the family are exempt from tax until their children reach the age of majority.

(The policy of tax exemption before the wife remarries is not enforced, because it will cause the poor woman to be forced by her father and brother not to remarry, so that the whole family can continue to be tax-free, which is not in line with the national policy of promoting fertility, but also affects the country's tax revenue.) On the contrary, only exempting the martyr's children from taxation would make the widow a sweetheart: whoever marries the widow has custody of the martyr's children, and is exempt from tax along with it. With such a policy, the widow's father and brother would certainly not want the widow to remarry, but the decision was transferred from the father and brother to the widow herself: once the widow remarried, her father and brother could not be exempt from tax, and the widow could not be exempt from tax. Now, the old lady does not remarry, and the father and brother are exempt from taxes. The old lady remarries, and the new husband is exempt from taxes. So you all have to be nice to the old lady).

As for foreign races, the Jihan government is not so kind: the settling-in fee is still the same, 10,000 yuan. In the case of the slight depreciation of the domestic currency of the current Ji Han, this 10,000 yuan can buy about 60 stone of grain. If prices do not continue to rise, an adult can be fed for four to five years. But the resettlement in the back, there is no tax exemption or anything.

Even so, as soon as this conscription order came out, there were still a large number of foreign leaders who asked to send more young men and women in the clan to join the army: on the one hand, they were showing favor to Guan Da Sima, who was extremely fierce in treating foreign races. On the other hand, due to more than three years of economic erosion, the economy of the alien race has been increasingly tied up by Ji Han. In order to maintain his more and more Chinese life.。 These alien leaders need more money to sustain their extravagance and corruption - there is so much money for conscription, of course, they have embezzled it themselves. Yes? You say it's wrong to take it privately, and you want to take it back to someone's family to show fairness? Well, a great alien leader like you shouldn't stay in the human world, you should go to another world to have a good time with careerists like Tree Function and Yao Kehui.

For Han officials, Guan Yi is extremely strict in terms of honesty and efficiency. But for the leader of the alien race, it will completely change to the other direction: no incorruptibility, no fairness, I must be corrupted and degenerate, otherwise you will be blacklisted.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and the leaders of the alien races were extremely reluctant to be forced to be corrupt by Guan Da Sima at first, but once they started to be corrupt, they couldn't hold back. No matter how dissatisfied the people were, there was nothing they could do: the Great Han was the leader who supported such a wise and knowledgeable leader of the times. Therefore, in order not to be oppressed by such bastards, the aspiring young people of different races themselves enthusiastically asked to join the army. Because, Da Sima opened another window for these people: those who joined the army from different races and made certain military exploits on the battlefield were registered after the war and treated as Han people. The Han Dynasty compensated the tribe that had lost such an elite tribe a certain amount of money and food.

"So, Da Sima, you say, can you not join the army enthusiastically? If it weren't for Da Sima, you gave the order to die, the proportion of foreign races in the army must not exceed thirty percent. It is estimated that Hermes-Epitek can draw one out of four. ”

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Assimilation of the alien race is a long process. In this process, the role of the military is crucial. Therefore, the red line of Sancheng must not be breached. ”

"No, Xia Guan understands."

"Well, the conscription is coming, training is a trivial matter, the key is the regrouping of the 300,000-strong army, the transfer in the process of formation, and the change of guards. In this matter, I will send Zilian (Tian Xu) to help you. ”

"Oops, that's great! With the help of Zilian, who was in charge of 600,000 Wei troops in Luoyang in the past, eating, drinking and Lazar, the dispatch of these 300,000 soldiers and horses is simply easy! ”

"Where, Huo Changshi has an overreputation, and the lower officials must do their best to assist Changshi in arranging the reorganization and dispatch of the army. Speaking of which, Xiaguan has been away from Luoyang for a long time, and it's time to go back and take a look. ”

After agreeing with Huo on the matter of army formation, Guan Yi turned back to Lu Ya and said, "Zhongle, how is the situation on your side?" ”

"Back to Da Sima, it's not very good. Since mid-May of this year, the Jin Kingdom's Jinguo latent in our Han Dynasty has become extremely active. Although Si Wencao captured and killed many of their members because of this, it seems that the results of the five months of hoeing and raping have exceeded those of the past five years. But this war situation is obscured, and the subordinates have no confidence at all. ”

"Hahahaha~~~ My big man is now in a national mobilization. How could such a big move be hidden. Besides, there are capable people in the court of the Jin Kingdom. I guess they have already guessed the direction of the main attack of our army. ”

"Huh? How's that good? ”

"Hey, hey, so, ah, I've always liked to use conspiracy, not conspiracies. What if you guessed the direction of our army's main attack? I still know Sima Yan well. The talent is still good, and his heart is much kinder than his elders who wipe out the three clans at every turn. It's a pity that the ears are soft and the will is not firm. When the war is together, he has his own means to force him to make a miscalculation! Now, after hearing the news that my country has started large-scale conscription, the Jin Kingdom should also be large-scale conscription, right? Zhong Le, mobilize all the shadows buried by Cao Cao among the Jin people, and hype up the news of my Ji Han's light treatment of the people and the imminent attack on the Jin State, focusing on highlighting that our country's soldiers are guaranteed after their families go on the expedition, and the soldiers of the Jin State go out on the expedition, it is likely that the men will fight to the death outside, and the women will be bullied by the family at home...... I've written scripts like "The White-Haired Girl" for you! I want to make the people of the Jin Kingdom panic all day long! ”

"No! The lower officials are desperate to achieve Da Sima's goal! ”

"Hehehe, you Si Wencao can't do this, you still need the help of others in this matter."
