Chapter 0588 - A Trade War Prepared for the Liao State

The four of them discussed for another round, and finally, on the advice given by Lao Yang, they deleted, deleted, and agreed on a reasonable military service system.

Under Yang Qi's command, four soldiers and horses, except for the iron cavalry, the remaining soldiers and horses implemented a new system.

The new military service system stipulates that the number of years of military service for ordinary soldiers of the Rangers, Datong Army, and Fuxing Army, as well as the soldiers and horses belonging to the three armed forces, shall be five years, and the period of military service may be appropriately extended in wartime, but not more than 10 years.

The term of service of the squad and the deputy squad is 10 years, and after 10 years, those who are willing to stay in the army can apply for an extension of the military service period.

Above the class, up to the rank of general, the length of military service, is not specified. However, the time limit for retirement is 60 years old, and those who have reached the age of 60 have been discharged.

At the same time, generals at or above the regimental level can apply to teach at the Fuxing Military Academy after retiring.

Moreover, whether during their tenure or teaching, as long as there is no war, the generals have time to go home to visit their relatives.

In order to make it easier for the generals to go home to visit their relatives, the families of the generals will be placed in the nearest town to the camp.

……

At the same time, the new military service system also regulates the number of conscripts, as well as the time to replace the veterans. It is roughly the same as the advice given by Lao Yang, but with one more article, the soldiers can apply for an extension of military service according to their own circumstances.

The new military service system is relatively perfect.

After finalizing all the details, Yang Qi sent someone to copy two copies, one of which was sent to the yamen of Fuxing Mansion, and handed over to Kou Zhun for review, and after the review was correct, it would be announced to the people in the two prefectures.

The reason why it was submitted to Kou Zhun for review was to allow Kou Zhun to find out the areas that conflicted with his current policy and then revise them.

This is also done for the sake of prudence.

For example, Yang Qi stipulated in the new military service system that all the family members of generals above the rank of Banzheng should all move to the towns near the garrison camps. In case of Kou Zhun's decree, the families of the generals and officials belonging to each region should move to live in the prefectures.

Then, the two decrees are in conflict.

Although there will not be any major contradictions, some small contradictions will also affect the credibility of Kou Zhun's administration.

After Kou Zhun got the new military service system, he read it carefully, although he was disgusted with all kinds of things, but he secretly surprised himself in his heart.

He carefully calculated the following, Yang Qixin's military service system was far better than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

First of all, although the military service system established by Yang Qixin will weaken the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, its benefits are long-term.

Under the control of this military service system, the soldiers will always maintain a certain combat effectiveness, and will not be like most of the armies of the Great Song Dynasty, which began to erode after ten or twenty years.

Secondly, to a large extent, some mutinies were prevented.

Under this system of military service, private soldiers would cease to exist.

And without private soldiers, the generals are only under their command, and it is difficult to pull up a large number of people to mutiny or rebellion.

Kou Zhun pinched the newly established military service system, and an idea popped up inexplicably in his heart.

It seems that this military service system is more applicable to the behemoth of the Great Song Dynasty.

As soon as this thought came to mind, he was strangled to death by Kou Zhun.

He shook his head with a wry smile, feeling that he was thinking a little too much.

Now, he is no longer a pure Song Chen, and everything he considers for the Great Song Dynasty will not be adopted by the Great Song Dynasty.

It's in vain to think about it, but I don't want to.

After carefully studying the new military service system, Kou Zhun waved his red pen and wrote two large characters of Yin Hong on it.

Approved!

After approval, Kou Zhun immediately gathered the people in the yamen, began to copy the new military service system one by one, and then quickly sent it to the yamen of the two prefectures.

At the same time, the original version was sent to Yang Qi.

After Yang Qi saw the word 'approval' on it, he quickly passed the scarecrow and spread the new military system to the ears of every soldier in every army.

It is difficult to predict what changes will occur in the reform of the military system.

But what is certain is that at least half of it is for the better.

After the issue of the military system was dealt with, Yang Qi had nothing else to do in the Fuxing Mansion.

On the second day after the new military service system was established, Ori Yuxun left the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy.

He was thinking about the party in his heart, so naturally it was impossible for him to live leisurely in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy.

On the other hand, Lao Yang has no intention of going back at all.

It seems that he has been idle at home for too long, and whenever he has the opportunity to train people, he will hold on to it.

Fuxing Martial Arts Temple.

Classroom.

Lao Yang strongly deprived Yang Hong of the course of teaching the art of war, and occupied the entire classroom amid the cheers of the students.

Lao Yang is a rough man, and he always likes to be straight when he speaks, and there are not so many people.

And because his manager has a lot of battles, he can always explain some strategies in the war book through some examples on the battlefield.

When Yang Qi went to watch Lao Yang's lecture, Lao Yang was talking about a classic battle.

Battle of Yanmen Pass.

"Most of you dolls are children in the two provinces, and some of you should have heard of the battle of Yanmen Pass, and some of you have even seen it. So let's take the battle of Yanmen Pass as an example.

At that time, the Liao army had 100,000. On our side, there are only 8,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people.

The disparity in strength is more than ten times different.

In this case, how to fight? ”

Lao Yang looked around at the students in the audience, and when he saw that no one answered, he clenched his fists and said firmly: "Fight to the death!" But this battle to the death is not blindly brutal and hard-hitting others. In the case of the disparity in the strength of the two sides, it is all fools who fight hard.

The old man told you before that the art of war is complementary to each other.

Then, when we outnumber the enemy, we must win with the positive. Fight with dignity and smash all the enemies that stand in our way.

However, in this kind of situation when we have fewer troops than we have, we have to win by surprise.

……

The old man was in Yanmen Pass and fought with the enemy for several days and nights.

has been at a disadvantage.

In this case, there is a general under the old man, said.

Can you sneak attack the enemy's food and grass?

The old man thought about it at that time and thought it was feasible, so he sent out a thousand elite soldiers to attack the enemy's grain and grass camp.

……

In the end of the battle, the appearance of Yang Yansi and his reckless approach were the biggest failure of the entire war.

As a commander-in-chief, it is an extremely stupid thing to leave behind the army and go single-handedly to capture the king.

……”

Lao Yang talked endlessly in the classroom.

Because Lao Yang's own vision is far higher than that of the students, he can analyze all the details of the entire battle situation more thoroughly for the students.

The students were fascinated by what they listened.

There are even many students who look at Lao Yang's eyes full of admiration.

Yang Qi listened to the door and heard that Lao Yang deliberately concealed Yang Si's name, and he knew that Lao Yang had a breath of air for Yang Si in his heart.

It's just that Lao Yang always holds a pair of elders on weekdays, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter his heart and listen to him speak his heart.

When he heard that Lao Yang was stupid, he secretly shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The problem between him and Lao Yang has been going on for a long time, like two tigers who refuse to admit defeat pinching each other.

Yang Hong stood beside Yang Qi with a dark face, and said complainingly: "Qilang, you take care of your father, since he arrived at the Fuxing Martial Academy, thirty percent of the courses have been occupied by him." ”

Of course, in Yang Hong's heart, the most unforgivable thing is that Lao Yang has taken over his course.

Although everyone used to be master and servant, they didn't take such a bully.

You've been taught all the time, so why do you want me to be the deputy mountain chief?

Yang Qi glanced at Yang Hong with a smile, "Uncle Hong, don't you think it's good to be like this now?" ”

Yang Hong immediately understood what Yang Qi meant.

"You've already planned to let your father teach at the Fuxing Martial Academy?"

Yang Qi nodded without concealment, "Yes, it's just that there has been a lack of an opportunity." This time, I was able to invite my father to the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy by discussing the matter of the military system. And he was moved by the atmosphere of the revival of the martial arts academy and was willing to take the initiative to teach the students, which was an opportunity.

Leaving my father, the overall teaching strength of the Revival Martial Arts Academy will rise by a big step.

It's a good thing for you and me. ”

Yang Hong pursed his mouth and said, "But your father is unreasonable, and whoever takes up his class." This made the atmosphere of the entire martial arts academy very chaotic. ”

Yang Qi laughed and said, "So...... Uncle Hong, you should divide the students in the martial arts academy into several classes according to the benchmark of fifty people, and teach them separately. The quality of teaching in a group of hundreds of people is far less good than that of a class of dozens of people.

And after you divide the class, allocate the class time.

For example, when the first class takes the art of war class, the second class takes the military formation class, and the third class takes the counterparting class...... And so on.

My dad can't teach three or four classes at once, right? ”

Yang Hong's eyes lit up, "Good idea...... I'm going to get ready......"

The atmosphere in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy is very good, the teachers are willing to teach each other, and the students are also willing to be hungry students.

In addition, the Han people always have a good teacher's blood in their bones.

Therefore, the future of the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy is destined to be brilliant.

Lao Yang has always been a heart disease for Yang Qi.

On the one hand, he is afraid that Lao Yang will go to the battlefield again, and he has three long and two short; On the one hand, I am afraid that Lao Yang is idle at home, and he will be suffocated for a long time.

Now, Lao Yang has a tendency to stay in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy as a teacher, which Yang Qi is happy to see.

Fuxing Martial Arts Temple.

East.

There is a small courtyard, which is where Yang Qi temporarily works.

After Yang Qi left the teacher, he returned to the study to deal with government affairs.

As the power under Yang Qi's command becomes more and more huge, the government affairs that Yang Qi has to deal with every day are also increasing day by day.

This includes some matters in which the merchants of the southern kingdom took root in Dengzhou after withdrawing from the Liao State.

Dengzhou was the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

It stands to reason that Yang Qi, an outlier in the Great Song Dynasty, was easily strangled to death by the bigwigs of the Great Song Dynasty when he was doing things in Dengzhou.

On the contrary, the southern merchants stationed in Dengzhou did not stop them at all.

It even quickly spread out in Dengzhou, and Dengzhou, which was originally full of water bandits and rogues, became prosperous.

The Great Song Dynasty also seemed to be happy to see it, not only did it not suppress it, but also gave it a certain degree of autonomy.

For example, a southern merchant doing business in Dengzhou can have a certain size of guards.

The smallest of them was ten people, and the largest was two thousand.

And the share of these 2,000 people belongs to the Nanguo Money Bank.

Since Da Song has given convenience, then Yang Qi has nothing to say.

In his approval to Wang Mingcheng, it was clearly stated that every merchant in the south must be accompanied by a complete set of soldiers from the south as guards.

And businessmen, there is no commission at all.

All expenses should be borne by the southern court.

Yang Qi roughly calculated, as long as the merchants in the southern country were fully equipped with guards, the number of guards gathered could reach more than 11,400 people.

More than 11,400 people are stationed in Dengzhou, which will largely allow the southern country to occupy absolute autonomy.

At least the local yamen did not dare to take advantage of the southern merchants at will.

Of course, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty allowed southern merchants to be equipped with guards was also because they could pay a certain amount of taxes to the Great Song Dynasty every time they traded.

After all, what the merchants of the southern country did could basically be considered a trade that crossed the three countries.

The trade between countries and the horror of its tax amount were enough to make the money-short Great Song Dynasty bow its head.

The merchants of the southern country landed in Dengzhou, and the biggest trouble was the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that the mouth of the Great Song Dynasty has been blocked with huge taxes, then Yang Qi's eyes do not need to be on the Great Song Dynasty.

His gaze suddenly fell on the Liao Kingdom.

With the withdrawal of a large number of merchants from the south, the economy of Liao began to show a depressed side.

Seemingly overnight, Liao's business model has returned to its previous path of relying on smuggling and looting.

At the same time, most of the goods in Liao began to show a shortage, as well as a trend of rapid price increases.

For example, the price of cloth, rice, gold and silver jewelry, iron tools, etc., and even books are skyrocketing.

And there seems to be no end to the upward trend, everyone knows that prices are rising, but they don't know when it will be the end.

It is precisely because of the high price of goods that some Liao nobles and Liao businessmen began to force them to go out to do business.

The coastline near the Liao State is no longer as before, with boatloads of goods coming in every day, but boatloads of leather goods being transported out.

And cross-border trade has led to a skyrocketing cost of goods.

In terms of taxes and fees alone, from the initial only to pay taxes to the Liao court, to now, not only to pay taxes to the Liao court, but also to pay taxes to the Great Song court.

Moreover, the cost of transportation is skyrocketing.

All in all, the collapse of Liao's business is very profitable.

Nowadays, it is spreading like a plague at a rapid pace.

Once this trade plague affected the entire Liao country.

Then Liao will definitely respond accordingly.

When the time comes, it will be a brutal trade war.

As long as Yang Qi can win this trade war.

Then there was only one way left for the Liao State to go, and that was to go south to invade the Great Song Dynasty.
