The old patriarch at the back of the division finally left helplessly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for whether he went back to persuade his clansmen or to prepare for war, it is not clear.

Nomads often do not distinguish between soldiers and civilians, at least not as clearly as the Central Plains Dynasty, so the old patriarch said to Liu Zhang that fighting a war is a matter for the army, and it has nothing to do with the people, and his understanding is not very profound. The people of the Central Plains Dynasty were most disgusted by forced conscription and indiscriminate arrest. It is not uncommon for forcible expropriation to be arrested in the Central Plains Dynasty, and there are many of them, but the ensuing impact is also extremely bad.

Liu Zhang's reaction was so strong because Liu Zhang had always emphasized that soldiers are soldiers, the people are the people, soldiers do the affairs of the soldiers, and the people do the affairs of the people, and each performs its own duties, that is, to cultivate a professional army, and to put an end to the erosion of the combat strength of the new army by the old warlords' vices such as forcibly conscripting and arresting Ding. Fighting a war is a matter for the military, and the military must not use any excuse to avoid war, and must not use any excuse to requisition or drive the people's strength.

The people spend so much money and raise an army that is used to protect the territory and the people against foreign aggression, and it is used to fight wars, but when the war is about to be fought, you let the people go, how can there be such a reason.

At this time, among the princes of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang's army was the most professional. Even the guards of the Guards under Liu Zhang's rule were more professional than the ordinary princes' armies.

Liu Zhang's new army adopted a conscription and military service system.

Winter and summer are the conscription seasons every year. Young people between the ages of 17 and 24 can sign up for the draft, and after passing the examination and training, they can enlist in the army. The period of military service is 10 years for the new army and 15 years for the flying army, and if you are disabled due to injury, you can be discharged early. If you want to work in the army for a few more years, one is to take the professional and technical line, and the other is to be promoted. Only middle and high-ranking officers can work for a few more years. After being discharged from the army, they are generally transferred to the local area, and they are all good places to go to any military industrial unit or guard captain. Basically, being a soldier is a very good way out for ordinary families under Liu Zhang's rule and for ordinary families who don't have many outlets. When the child was raised, he sent it to the army, and then he sent money home from time to time. When you are discharged from the army, you can still find a good job. Why not.

However, Liu Zhang's army is relatively small and has relatively high requirements, and the annual conscription quota is very limited.

The period of military service, which is not at all in the armies of other princes, there is no such thing at all, and in other places, this soldier wants you to be as long as you want, you have to be as long as you want. One of the great advantages of the military service period is that it allows the army to stay young and young forever. The troops must change blood frequently, so that they can maintain their vigorous combat effectiveness for a long time. Liu Zhang originally designed a five-year military service period, but later Xu Shu felt that five years was too short, always recruiting soldiers, spending too much money, so he changed it to ten years. Liu Zhang is still relatively resistant to saving money, and moreover, if there are too many conscriptions, there will be less labor among the people, which is not conducive to all kinds of production and construction under his rule.

Liu Zhang's military system can be said to be the most advanced military system in the world.

Of course, the advanced military system is actually supported by advanced military spending. Liu Zhang's ability to implement such a military system was completely based on money. Think about how much money it costs to recruit, train, pension, retirement, resettlement, and so on and forth.

After sending off the missions of various countries, Liu Zhang finally relaxed.

First of all, let people fence off the detonator, which is the Optimus Prime, and put up a sign that reads: Do not enter in danger.

Then, let Guoyuan, with Optimus Prime as the center, prepare to build a Xizhou school.

Then, the administrative team, with the cooperation of the military, went to various states and began to prepare for the establishment of government institutions, and began to implement literacy activities in an all-round way.

Let Cai Yan and them often tour in various places and carry out literary and artistic edification.

After arranging things one by one, Liu Zhang had nothing to do, and began to think about the leadership team of Xizhou, who to arrange to act as the state pastor, it is impossible for him to stay here all the time. Come to think of it, there is no suitable candidate. You can't continue to transfer people from Yizhou.

Although the Western Regions are large, there are actually very few people, and there are not as many people as Shu County in the entire Western Regions. In fact, there is no need to send important ministers over, it is actually enough to transfer a person at the level of a county guard. However, this person must deeply understand the importance of his own cultural governance and martial arts in the Western Regions, especially the work of indoctrination cannot be relaxed.

Come to think of it, there is no suitable candidate.

However, this is not too urgent.

After Liu Zhang arrived in the Western Regions, except for a fanfare alliance, the next month or two became a gentle drizzle.

Suppressing bandits, reassuring the people, and touring performances are all very gentle moves, which makes the four countries such as Dawan, Wusun, Kangju, and Yueshi, and the four countries that have signed the agreement to refuse, and their hanging hearts gradually relaxed. It seems that saying no to Liu Zhang is nothing remarkable. Of course, maybe Liu Zhang, the bastard, has forgotten about this, this playboy, who spends all his days drinking and drinking, probably forgot about it a long time ago.

Unfortunately, they were completely wrong.

This kind of thing, even if Liu Zhang wants to forget, Liu Zhang's subordinates can't forget it, not only can't they forget, but they will always nag a few words in Liu Zhang's ear every once in a while. Recently, Liu Zhang's ears are almost out of the cocoon.

The bandits have been tossed and turned, from east to west, then from west to east, from south to north, and from north to south, and have been tossed several times. Even if there are bandits who have slipped through the net, they have long been scared away. Moreover, the guards in various places have also been set up one after another, and more and more guard offices have begun to work. The military is becoming more and more idle.

After two or three months of suppression, it was obviously unable to meet the bloodthirsty needs of the military. The military has long set its sights on these so-called Western Regions powers that dare to refuse the good intentions of their lords.

The military is eager to fight, but Liu Zhang is not so eager. Those countries are there, and they can't run, so why don't you need to be so anxious? Liu Zhang felt that since ancient times, it was not easier to suppress bandits than to fight, it was easier to destroy the country, and it was more difficult to clean up the bandits, so he strictly ordered this army of 13,000 bandits to stand horizontally and vertically in the Western Regions, tossing and turning there to beat rabbits. No matter how many bandits there are in the Western Regions, they can't stand Liu Zhang's suppression.

Originally, Liu Zhang was still not very relieved, and wanted to hug it twice, but at this time, something happened in the Western Regions, no, it was Xizhou, which finally prompted Liu Zhang to draw his sword out of the sheath and show his fangs.

"Report, report to the lord, something is wrong!"

On this day, Liu Zhang was studying the map in the house, and Wang Ping rushed in.

"No, why are you so excited?" Liu Zhang asked strangely.

"Lord, something really happened, the rear tribe of the Cheshi rebelled!" (To be continued.) )
