In the middle of the Warring States period, the Qin State became strong because of the Shang Dynasty Reform, and at that time, the Qin State and the Chu State became the strongest countries. []

Once, King Zhaoxiang of Qin captured eight cities of Chu State, and forcibly invited King Huai of Chu to Wuguan to join the alliance, King Huai did not listen to the advice of Zhaosui and Qu Yuan, and decided to go to Wuguan, but was detained by Qin. Later, King Huai fled, the Qin people blocked the road to Chu, King Huai fled to the realm of Zhao, Zhao did not dare to take him in, King Huai tried to flee to Wei, but was captured by Qin's pursuers. A year later, this King of Chu Huai fell ill and died in the Qin State.

The Wuguan Alliance in Zhuge Jun's mouth, a trace is to pretend to be an alliance to deceive Adou to Wu State, and then find a way to capture Adou.

Seeing Sun Quan's frowns, Zhuge knew that Sun Quan was worried, and if he really did this, he might destroy the alliance between the two sides.

"Your Majesty, we just captured that Liu family, not for his life." Zhuge Jun said.

"That Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are not one. What should ordinary people do if they take revenge? ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this at all, catch that. Liu Jiazi, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong threw rat traps, how could they retaliate! Besides, Your Majesty still remembers that day, Cao Cao also left the Liu family in Xudu, and in those years, Liu Bei had attacked Xiangfan? ”

Sun Quan nodded thoughtfully. While. At the beginning, Zhou Yu used a trick to capture Adou and sent it to Xudu, hoping that Cao Cao would kill Adou and Jiangdong would be able to profit from it, but Cao Cao was not fooled, not only did he not kill Adou, but instead used Adou to contain Liu Bei, so that he did not dare to attack Xiangyang rashly.

Sun Quan asked himself, if he was Cao Cao, I am afraid that he would not have a belly like Cao Cao. Measure. And now it seems that Cao Cao did not kill Adou at the beginning, and it can be regarded as endless trouble. But who could match that child of that day to become the terrible person of today?

"Yuan Xun, I always feel that there is a lot of risk in this. The art is quite good, even Zhou Tai was defeated by him. ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, so we can only outwit and not attack."

"How to outwit?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that this Shanyue people are good at hunting beasts with snake venom. Why don't you use it too? ”

"With poison? Good idea. A smile appeared on Sun Quan's face.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the minister returns. There is one thing, please Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will never tell my father about this......"

"Why?"

"My father is a fool, I'm afraid I won't see this poisonous method."

Sun Quan nodded slightly: "That's right, I won't tell your father about this matter......"

……

Changan.

"Your Majesty, Sun Quan hopes that Your Majesty can go to Jingzhou, make an alliance with him, and discuss the plan to resist Cao!" Zhuge Jun said slowly.

"Hehehe, Sun Zhongmou's donkey skills are poor......" Pang Tong next to him laughed when he heard it.

"Taifu, how do you say this?" Adou asked.

"Your Majesty, this Sun Quan just wants to lure Your Majesty to Jingzhou and capture Your Majesty. This plan was used twice by Zhou Gongjin on the former emperor, and Sun Zhongmou was just picking up people's teeth and wisdom! Pang Tong said with a smile.

Before and after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu had twice yin* Liu Bei went to Jiangdong, the first time was in the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu sent Liu Bei Yin* to Chaisang, and wanted to capture Liu Bei in one fell swoop, but Guan Yu was standing next to Liu Bei at that time, and Guan Yu was only two or three steps away from Zhou Yu.

The second time was when Zhou Yu used the beauty trick, yin* Liu Bei came to Jiangdong, and the result was naturally to lose his wife and soldiers.

"Taifu, should I go or not?"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to pay attention to that Sun Quan, just say that the state affairs are busy, and there is no time to doppelganger, so you can't go in person." Pang Tong said.

"Wouldn't that be said to be a lack of sincerity in forming an alliance?" Next to him, Chen Zhen asked.

"Sincerity? Hehehe...... This is not the time! Pang Tong smiled, and then explained: "In the battle of Chibi in the past, there were only 20,000 defeated soldiers in Jiangxia under the command of the first emperor, and the generals were only three generals Guan Zhang and Zhao, and there was only Kong Ming as a strategist; On the other hand, Cao Cao, occupying the Central Plains, commanded a million heroes, thousands of generals, if the emperor did not ally with Sun Quan, he would be defeated by Cao Cao. On the other hand, Sun Quan had the Yangtze River natural danger honor guard and still had combat power, so at that time, the first emperor had asked Sun Quan, and the first emperor needed to show sincerity. ”

"Now, Your Majesty sits in Guanzhong and occupies this land of Longxing, which is much better than Sun Quan's Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan occupies the granary of Huainan, but Huainan is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, it is good when Huaishui is abundant in spring and summer, Sun Quan can also rely on the Jiangdong Sailor to make Cao Jun dare not cross the thunder pond one step, and if it waits until winter, Huaishui gradually withers, the water army can not be forced, at that time Sun Quan can hold Shouchun, it is not yet known, so now, it is Sun Quan who has asked His Majesty, so this alliance is a thing, can be pushed. ”

……

Adou followed Pang Tong's advice and used the busy state affairs as an excuse to push down Sun Quan's request to meet the alliance in person. Sun Quan saw that the plan failed, so he had to give up. In addition, winter is approaching, the amount of water in Huaishui has also begun to decrease, and the drop in water level has greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong naval army, and Cao Zhen on the opposite side has also begun to move, and Sun Quan's energy has to be put on Shouchun again.

At this time, Adou encountered a trouble, that is, the recruitment of soldiers this year was very unsmooth.

The Eastern Han Dynasty adopted a conscription system, which means that the soldiers are all professional soldiers, and the imperial court will pay the soldiers. Every conscription season, the government will post a list of conscriptions, recruit soldiers, after the people sign up, they have to go through a series of selections, such as testing physical strength, flexibility, endurance, etc., only those who pass the selection can become professional soldiers.

And if there is an emergency war and the supply of soldiers is insufficient, the government will also temporarily recruit soldiers, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei only joined the army after seeing the documents of the government's recruitment.

The so-called soldier salary, if there is no war in peacetime, this soldier is still good, when you are old and discharged, maybe you can still get a settlement fee, but if there is chaos today, the three kingdoms are constantly fighting, and the chance of surviving as a soldier is too small, so no one wants to be a soldier, and the soldiers who can be recruited are getting fewer and fewer.

The situation of not being able to recruit soldiers has already been encountered by Cao Cao and Sun Quan. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains was riddled with holes, and Cao Cao encountered the situation of not being able to recruit soldiers at that time, but Cao Cao was also smart, and immediately adopted the tuntian system, and selected 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers from the bandits who surrendered under Zang Ba, and then continued to collect and surrender people from all over the country, including Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, etc., and slowly solved the problem of the source of soldiers.

Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and in the era of Sun Ce, there was a situation where soldiers could not be recruited, but Sun Ce crusaded against Shanyue, and recruited tens of thousands of soldiers from Shanyue, and then Sun Quan, he would send troops to recruit Shanyue every year, and it was also to recruit soldiers from Shanyue.

Shu has not experienced many wars over the years, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Liu Bei's entry into Shu, for thirty years, Yizhou is singing and dancing, so after Liu Bei ruled Yizhou, he did not encounter the problem of recruiting troops.

However, in recent years, Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, Adou's resistance to 6 Xun, the conquest of the Southern Barbarians, and then the resistance to Wuhu, a series of wars have made the people of Shuzhong realize that the cruelty of war makes it difficult to recruit soldiers from the original recruitment system.

The opposite of conscription is conscription.

Conscription is compulsory recruitment. The Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty used the conscription system, and at the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, it was generally three households out of one ding, that is, three families would be conscripted into the army, according to the calculation of five people per household, that is, one soldier out of fifteen people. Of course, the soldiers who were forcibly conscripted were not paid.

For example, during the Battle of Changping, in order to resist the Qin army, the Zhao army recruited young men from all over the country to enlist in the army, and later after the Qin army surrounded the Zhao army, in order to completely annihilate the Zhao army, the king of Qin even went to the local area and recruited all adult men into the army.

In ancient times, there was a conscription system very early, in the early conscription system, soldiers needed to prepare their own weapons, armor and clothes, and in the Warring States Period, especially the Qin Dynasty, all weapons were unified systems, so the equipment at that time was issued by the state. When conscripting, the soldiers were first gathered in one place, and then they were given weapons and went into battle to fight.

Later, after the establishment of the county system, weapons and equipment were placed in the armory of each county, and the county officials maintained it on weekdays. And once a war breaks out, the soldiers of a county or a county gather together and give them weapons, and they can immediately form combat effectiveness, and they can directly fight on the battlefield.

However, conscription also has the disadvantages of conscription, for example, these conscripted soldiers are often assembled in the face of war, there is not much training on weekdays, and the quality is not as good as that of professional soldiers.

Moreover, this weapon and equipment are placed in the treasury of each county, if you encounter a greedy official, all the money used to maintain weapons and armor is greedy, then once the war starts, the soldiers will have no weapons to use, so it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness.

The same conscription system will cause a lot of burdens to the people, such as the Qin Dynasty is too heavy conscription, and the conscription is too frequent, which leads to public resentment, and then Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings.

……

Chang'an Weiyang Palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year's recruitment is not going well, and everyone knows it, so I plan to cancel the recruitment system!" Adou said.

It is a fact that they cannot recruit soldiers, and these bigwigs in the DPRK and China all understand, and many people also feel that the recruitment system should be abolished, after all, in this troubled era, it is difficult to provide sufficient troops just by recruiting soldiers.

But at the same time, people are also disgusted by the conscription system. Conscription creates excessive conscription, which is not conducive to the development of the country. For example, during the period of Emperor Wu, in order to fight against the Xiongnu and conquer the Western Regions, he kept recruiting troops, which caused the population of the Han Dynasty to drop by half.

After most of the day, Pang Tong took the lead and asked, "Your Majesty, are you preparing to adopt the conscription system?" ”

"I'm still thinking about it."

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not!" Zhang Song stood up and said.

"Captain, please."

"In fact, this conscription system is a feasible strategy, but if my Han can dominate the world within 20 years, this conscription system is not bad, but if it is after 20 years, it will affect two generations, and it will be greatly damaged." Zhang Song said.

In ancient times, marriage was relatively early, and in 20 years, a generation was generally completed from infancy to childbirth, Zhang Song means that this conscription system can affect one generation, but if it affects two generations, it will definitely hurt the vitality of the country.

Ma Liang next to him also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now Cao Shun and Dongwu, although there are many conscriptions, but they still use the conscription system, I think it won't be long before Cao Shun and Dongwu will find it difficult to recruit soldiers, and when the time comes, they will also take conscription." Now it is calculated that there are many households on the Cao Reverse side, and if the same three households take one, Cao Rebellion's soldiers will be more than ours. ”

Adou nodded, now that the Three Kingdoms have just been formed, everyone has not yet reached the point where it seems that the oil is exhausted in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, so the countries still use the conscription system.

There are many people in the Wei State, and if the conscription system is reformed, according to the customary practice of taking one of the three households, the Wei State will definitely recruit more soldiers. After all, this ancient war was fought at the cost of the population.

"Hey...... There are too few people! Adou sighed slightly in his heart. Recalling the previous life, a small county town of Yihequan was able to make up thousands of boxers, and if it was a larger city, it was possible to produce tens of thousands of boxers, which was like now, using the power of the entire Guanzhong, and only a few people were recruited.

The conscription system can naturally solve the dilemma of not being able to recruit soldiers today, but if there are too many conscriptions, it will affect production, and if everyone goes to serve as soldiers and no one goes to farm, the country will be finished. What's more, the current situation is that there are few people in the land, and Yongzhou, which is fertile for thousands of miles, has to be filled with Di people, and the newly opened up fertile land in Nanzhong also needs someone to plant.

Suddenly, Adou thought that when he remembered the Northern and Southern Dynasties in later generations, the Central Plains also fought all day long, but it seems that when Emperor Wen of Sui ruled the world, the population of the Central Plains was not small, at least much more than now.

"That's right, the government military system!" Adou suddenly screamed softly.

"Your Majesty, what did you just say, what kind of government military system?" Pang Tong's ears were pointed, and he immediately asked.

"Hehe, I have decided that there is no need for conscription, and there is no need for conscription."

"What's that for?"

"Government military system!" Adou smiled deeply.

"The government military system? May I ask Your Majesty, what is the government military system? ”

"I am going to recruit a group of people, who are farmers who cultivate the land, who train in the fields, and who fight in the army in wartime. At the same time, military offices were established in various localities to manage and train these soldiers. That's why I call these people soldiers. ”

"Well, this seems to be similar to the Tuntian soldiers!" Zhuge Liang next to him asked slightly embarrassed.

"No, I'm not done yet! I plan to let these soldiers bring their own weapons and horses, and the military government is only responsible for annual training and wartime call-ups. Moreover, I am prepared to establish a household registration specifically for the government soldiers, and all those who have joined the government soldiers have been government soldiers for generations, and the father dies and the son inherits, and the brother dies and the brother dies. ”

"Your Majesty, isn't what you're talking about the way of the world's soldiers?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Huh? Have you ever had one before? Adou asked in surprise. According to Adou's memory, before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was no government military system.

Zhuge Liang took a slow breath and said: "Back then, Duke Qi Huan appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister, and divided the national capital into fifteen townships of Shinong and six townships of industry and commerce. ”

"Oh, are the fifteen villagers of that Shinong going to enlist in the army?" Adou asked.

"What Your Majesty said is that it is precisely because the fifteen townships of Shinong are all enlisted in the army, so Guan Zhong is only implemented in the fifteen townships of Shinong, the national capital."

"Oh, that's not the same as mine. In my military system, all those who enter the government are soldiers, that is, they are soldiers, and all soldiers are registered with the whole family, and the soldiers can be exempted from taxes and food on weekdays. Adou said.

As soon as Adou's words fell, the people around him fell into silence.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang seemed to be pondering, and suddenly said: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Your Majesty, this is a very good move, which can not only maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but will not cause resentment among the people...... It's just Your Majesty, this move may work in Yizhou, Yongzhou, it's a little difficult. ”

"Why?" Adou asked

"Your Majesty, the people of Yizhou have been stable for many years, and the people have their fields, which is exempt from taxes, which is enough to make the people excited and join the government soldiers. However, this Yongzhou was initially decided, taking the thousands of acres of fertile land outside the Zhengguo Canal as an example, it has not been fully cultivated now, and it will be very difficult to implement the government military system in Yongzhou. Zhuge Liang said.

Adou secretly said in his heart, worthy of Zhuge Liang, and he got to the point at once.

Civilians with military status can be exempted from taxation and forced labor, which is a very attractive place for the common people. Without the forced labor and taxation, the life of the people would be much better, at least for a year of hard work without famine, and there would be no problem in having enough food and clothing. This is equivalent to using one person in the family to serve as a government soldier, in exchange for the whole family's life of abundant food and clothing.

Yizhou has been exhibited for so many years, and there is basically no spare farmland, so the exemption from forced labor and taxation will be very attractive to the people, but because of the war in Yongzhou, a large number of farmland is barren, and there are few people and more land, which is not so important to avoid forced labor and taxes. There are not many of these people, and even if they use the conscription system, they will not be able to recruit a few people.

"Prime Minister, the matter in Yongzhou cannot be solved in one or two years. I will draw up a detailed charter when I go back, and you Aiqing will also accompany me to refer to the details. As for implementation, it will be implemented in Chengdu first, and if it is feasible, it will be extended to Quanyizhou, and if it is not feasible, it will be conscripted......"

……

Yecheng.

Since worshipping Queen Guo as his mother, Cao Rong's life has been much better. Cao Ei was originally the eldest son, and the Zhen family was originally Cao Pi's main room, and now Empress Guo is rightfully favored, and Cao Ei's status has also risen.

Cao Pi's body is not as good as day by day, this drug addict, the complexion is naturally ugly, so people who have seen Cao Pi feel that Cao Pi's complexion is very poor, plus Cao Pi is often absent, many people have already guessed that Cao Pi is likely to be terminally ill.

Everyone understands that once Cao Pi dies, this throne will definitely fall on the head of Cao Rong, the eldest son of the emperor.
