Volume 1 The Quiet River Section 23 Departure

As time went on, the team became clearer and clearer. There were about fifty people, and nearly twenty people walking in front were holding halberds more than one zhang long, the front end of the halberd was in the shape of "ten", and the long halberd raised high was shining in the sunlight. The dozen or so people in the back were holding round shields and straddle their waist swords, which was exactly the dress of the national soldiers in the city. In addition, there were more than ten people driving nearly ten ox carts slowly, and these people dressed in coarse cloth and gez clothes were different from other people, and they should also be people who served as laborers. At the back of the line were five horsemen, each wearing a hood and two crotch armors.

Of the armed infantrymen, less than ten of them were dressed in black armor, and a dozen others were dressed in brown leather armor. As can be seen from the equipment, this should be a regular army.

Qin Jin, the pavilion chief who stood on the gate of the village and observed, ordered the whole village to be on guard and ready for battle. After all, no one knows whether it is true or not, if you directly open the gate of the village and be rushed in by this team, the poorly armed Baoji Village may not be able to resist it, and it is always not wrong to be cautious.

The group came a short distance from the wall of the stockade and stopped outside the effective range of the bow.

A knight dressed as a commander waved his whip, and a soldier in two-crotch armor took the official document and ran towards the gate. Before he could reach the side of the trench, under the order of Pavilion Chief Qin, the drawbridge had been laid flat on the trench, but the gate of the village was still closed. When the soldier reached the wall, he put the document in the falling basket and then turned and retreated. At the same time as the suspension bridge was put away, the pavilion chief Qin Jin was also checking the official documents that had been brought up. After the chief of the Qin Pavilion repeatedly checked that it was correct, he ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered and the gate of the village to be opened. Everyone else followed the pavilion chief down the wall to welcome the arrival of the grain collection team, but only Zhao Hong was still standing on the wall and quietly looking at the group of county soldiers.

The county soldiers, also known as the state soldiers, are different from the county soldiers who inherited the conscription system of the Qin Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, and the county soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not recruited by the peasants who served. The county soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty were professional soldiers, and the county soldiers belonged to the central army, not local troops.

Once the soldier became professional, the subordinate relationship between the soldier and the general was fixed over time. With the fixation of the subordinate relationship between soldiers and generals, the subordinate relationship between soldiers and generals will inevitably evolve into a personal dependency relationship. That is to say, the soldiers became known only about the generals and not about the emperor.

So at the end of the dynasty, generals at all levels and local governors began to support family soldiers and private soldiers on a large scale. As the local powers grow stronger, in the event of turmoil in the central government, these people can be transformed into self-respecting separatists. The situation of separating the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was formed on the basis of factors such as the recruitment of county soldiers (or state and county soldiers), the emergence of the Taishou army, family soldiers, and private soldiers.

Once this situation of secession is formed, it has its own vitality. Private soldiers and family soldiers gradually became open and formalized, which in turn promoted the hereditary status of soldiers, thus giving rise to the world military system.

Zhao Hong, who had read a lot of Marx's works in his previous life, felt that the military foundation determined the superstructure of the military structure. The emergence of the world military system also promoted the institutionalization of the assassin Shi Taishou leading soldiers, so there was the "state and county soldiers" (or "state and county leaders") system, the state pastoral system, and the metropolitan supervision system. These official positions that officially recognized the secession were implemented and solidified one after another, thus bringing a series of changes to the military system of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

As far as the entire Eastern Han Dynasty is concerned, the county soldiers and the state and county soldiers are still another form of expression of the central army, which cannot be regarded as a real local army, but at the same time it is the gestation period or preparation period of the "state and county leading soldiers" system.

In the subsequent Northern Dynasties, due to the chaos of the Five Dynasties, the military system of the county state of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not inherited. Zhao Hong felt that the Northern Dynasty basically retreated to the slavery system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the so-called Xianbei people's world military system and the Three Kingdoms era were two concepts at all.

The Xianbei military system of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a slave military system, and a large number of Han slaves supported a small number of armed elite Xianbei warriors, while the Eastern Han Dynasty's military system was a centralized feudal system with Chinese characteristics, and the soldiers did not have their own subordinates. However, according to the viewpoint of European and Japanese society, even the soldier system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not a feudal system, and how could serfs who were not directly dependent on themselves be called feudal.

According to the size of this county national soldier, it should be a team of county soldiers, and the officer in it should be Dubo. Although Baoji Zhai also has Dubo, even the chief, but these are all self-appointed by Baoji Zhai, and they are not a formal establishment recognized by the state. Just like the director who managed the public toilet in later generations, can the militia captain be treated the same as the battalion commander of the field army?

Half an hour later, Zhao Hong's strong man drove the ox cart rumbling past the wooden planks of the suspension bridge. Due to the lack of clarity on the roads, each person's respective weapons were also placed on top of the ox carts. Zhao Hong was draped in the leather armor captured in the last defensive battle. Following the soldiers of the county and gradually moved away from Baoji Village, Zhao Hong turned around and looked back at Baoji Village.

The walls of the wall were occupied by men, women, and children, who watched the labor force go away. Many waved their arms and waved goodbye to their loved ones who had passed away.

Zhao Hong tried to widen his eyes, trying to see a beautiful shadow clearly, but he didn't see anything. Zhao Hong, who was a little lost, quietly watched the Baoji Village, which he had lived in for several months, gradually become as small as a matchbox, and finally disappeared at the end of the horizon.

At the same time, on the high corner tower of Baoji Village, a girl in goose yellow clothes was standing upstairs looking at the direction in which the convoy had disappeared, and behind her stood a light green maidservant, who was Qin Mi and Yun'er. At this time, the wall of Baoji Village was empty, but Qin Mi still watched the direction where the lover disappeared and quietly looked back, refusing to leave for a long time。。。。。

"Miss, the convoy has already gone far a long time ago." After a long time, Yun'er whispered behind her back to remind Qin Mi, and there was a hint of complaint in her tone. "Can't you see anything at all!"

A crisp and tactful overtone came from Qin Mi's back.

"You can't see it, it's because you're using your eyes, and I'm using my heart......"

Convoy on the official road.

The convoy of grain requisitions turned around the small hill north of Baoji Village, and its vision suddenly opened up. The Hui River, which originates from the branch of the Taihang Mountains, flows from northwest to southeast, and the official road has been built along the side of the Hui River, so you can reach Shiyi by swimming up the Hui River. Shiyi City is in the northwest direction of Baoji Village, and it will take more than two days to travel at the current speed.

Although Zhao Hong was the head of the militia organization, he did not dare to make the slightest promise in front of the county soldiers, and he also drove a cart full of grain and ox trucks. Zhao Hong, who had never done this kind of work, followed the example of others and threw the whip on the ox, and still corrected the direction of the ox cart from time to time.

The ox cart is relatively easy to drive, although Zhao Hong is still a novice, but he is still in a good hurry. Zhao Hong drove the ox cart while observing the surrounding scenery. I've been in this world for so long, and I've never gone so far as I did this time.

Luckily, driving an ox cart is not very difficult to master, but sometimes the wheels get stuck in a pit. At this time, the county soldiers who originally protected the grain collection team will also come to help, and everyone hopes to complete the task and go home as soon as possible.

For Zhao Hong, who was driving an ox cart for the first time, this couldn't help but remind him of his hometown in his previous life, and the hot thing about getting a driver's license in Zhengzhou.

In the year 2564 of the Confucian calendar, the road of Jeongju, which was originally designed for human-powered bicycles, has become a large open-air parking lot, but many people are still crazy about taking the driver's license test at this time. The problem is that these people who take a large number of driver's licenses actually can't afford to afford even if they buy quad bikes like Chery QQ and Geely. The funniest thing is that there are a large number of college students who have not yet graduated, and they begin to self-hypnosis under the huge pressure of employment: having a driver's license is easy to be appreciated by the boss and easy to find a job.

Such an absurd idea can be believed as true. Thinking of this, Zhao Hong couldn't help but laugh for a while, dare to train college students who have studied for four years to work as part-time drivers? Even undergraduates have to be used as half of the technical school students, it seems that the problem of education in the previous life is really not ordinarily serious!

Not long after the grain conscription team left Baoji Village, suddenly a bunch of black smoke rose from the clear blue sky in the far north, and this black smoke rushed straight into the sky. Seeing this, everyone's faces suddenly changed.
