Volume 2 Xihe Bai Boyan Section 26 Military System (1)
Then Zhao Hong grabbed his arm without waiting for Ma Yao to react, and came to an idle thatched hut as if he were smoking. Zhao Hong, who found some hay in the corner of the house, spread the hay on the ground, and the two immediately sat on the ground. Zhao Hong gave a salute to Ma Yao, who was at a loss, and Zhao Hong, who had a solemn expression on his face, asked in a sincere tone like a student asking for advice from a teacher.
"I'm very curious about the military establishment of your Great Qin State, Brother Ma, can you answer my questions?"
Ma Yao recalled a little after hearing this, and then said in a slightly excited tone.
"According to my grandfather, the military establishment of our Great Qin State is very different from that of Middle-earth." Then Ma Yao, who looked a little excited, drew on the ground with a small wooden stick.
"Our Great Qin State adopts a system similar to that of tribal soldiers, and all men of appropriate age must participate in the war." Hearing this, Zhao Hong couldn't help but nodded, although Zhao Hong also had a certain understanding of ancient Rome, but he wanted to hear the interpretation as a descendant of Roman soldiers.
"According to the method of bringing their own weapons, the citizens with money are often strong soldiers, while the equipment without money is much worse. Therefore, according to the amount of property and the amount of age and experience, it is divided into: Daqin young soldiers, Daqin middle-aged soldiers, and Daqin veterans. In terms of equipment, it is another name, Great Qin Light Infantry, Great Qin Heavy Infantry and Great Qin Elite Infantry. ”
Hearing Ma Yao say this, Zhao Hong couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, he had soaked so many forum posts in his previous life, and Zhao Hong didn't know anything about the situation in ancient Rome.
The kind of organization that Ma Yao said seems to be an ancient Roman formation, like the Roman Youth Army, the Roman heavy infantry and the Roman elite infantry, which seem to be the arms before Marius's reforms. The division of troops after Marius's reform is completely different from that before Marius's reform. Zhao Hong remembered that it seemed to be the Roman auxiliary infantry, the Roman eagle banner infantry, the Roman legionary infantry, the Roman city garrison legion and other professional troops.
The far-reaching impact of Marius's reform seems to be that Rome changed from a compulsory military system to a conscription system, and its political impact was the same as the transformation of the county military recruitment system in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with warlords separating their territories. This opens up the possibility of the appearance of the first three, including Caesar. And Marius himself seems to be the son-in-law of the Ulysses family, and Zhao Hong remembers that Marius seems to be the uncle of Caesar of the Ulysses family.
And Crassus, one of the three giants of the Crusade to Parthia, was the same age as Caesar. In other words, Ma Yao's ancestors should have been in the army after Marius's reforms, either the Roman legions or the Eagle Banner infantry. It seems that this kid secretly kept a hand. Zhao Hong made a conclusion in his heart, because what Ma Yao said was recommended to me before Ma Yao's reform. Thinking of this, Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel a little secretly unhappy in his heart, he glanced at Ma Yao, and a trace of green energy couldn't help but appear on Zhao Hong's face.
"My lord, what's wrong?" Ma Yao, who was looking down and gesturing with a small wooden stick, looked up and found that Zhao Hong seemed to be a little unhappy. He hurriedly and cautiously asked a tentative question.
"Nothing, nothing, you're saying it well!" Zhao Hong hurriedly restrained the unhappiness on his face and squeezed out a smile at Ma Yao.
But then Zhao Hong was relieved, Ma Yao's cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, for Zhao Hong, the system of residents like the Roman Republic is more suitable for a homeless organization like the Yellow Turban Army than the system of the Roman Empire.
At present, Zhao Hong has neither money nor food to support the standing army that is not engaged in labor, and there is a very strange phenomenon in China, under the system of producing labor and fighting as soldiers in peacetime, the soldiers' desire to fight is very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the professional army is often very weak, more than one dynasty has proved this with bloody facts, the Qin army rewarded for military merit during the Qin Dynasty, the government military system of Yuwentai in the Western Wei Dynasty and the famous Eight Banner soldiers of the old slave of Jianzhou. They are all systems of military and peasant integration, not professional soldiers. Generally, when a dynasty rises, it usually adopts the policy of raising soldiers and farmers.
The large-scale replacement of the peasant and military system by the conscription system usually means the beginning of the decline of the dynasty, and the typical Tang Dynasty period of the government military system was corrupted, and the adoption of the conscription system laid the groundwork for the Anshi Rebellion. There was a similar situation in the Ming Dynasty, and the demise of the guard system also meant that the Ming Dynasty reached the middle and late stages. Even the Eastern Han Dynasty in front of him is currently mainly using the conscription system, which reflects the coming of the Three Kingdoms era in the troubled times.
From another aspect, Zhao Hong also began to secretly rejoice in his heart. For Zhao Hong's department, who is short of winter clothes, even Zhao Hong's underwear can't afford to raise an armed "city manager" like the city garrison.
"This is very similar to the current situation of the White Polish Army." Zhao Hong echoed as he listened.
……
"Then the subordinate will continue to narrate the military establishment of our Great Qin State for your lordship." Ma Yao paused at this point, and then scribbled on the ground.
"In the basic military establishment of our Great Qin State, their smallest establishment is about 60 to 100 people in a squad or centurion, about 120 to 250 people in a squadron, two squadrons equal to a squadron, three squadrons equal to a brigade with about 360 to 500 people, and ten brigades are equal to a regiment with about 3,600 to 5,000 people. However, the actual number of people above the squadron will be relatively large, usually the squadron will have independent archers, and the brigade will be equipped with a certain number of light cavalry, and the corps will be equipped with a certain number of independent engineers. Combined with other auxiliary people, a legion is often close to 10,000 people. ”
"What do you mean is that a hundred-man team is equivalent to a team or tun of the Han army, a squadron is equivalent to a song of the Han army, and a brigade is equivalent to a ...... A regiment is equivalent to a battalion of the Han army. Zhao Hong thought for a moment and then said.
"What your lord said is good, a normal hundred-man team in our Great Qin Kingdom is usually less than a hundred, but sixty. Therefore, the infantry is a depth configuration of ten people wide and six people deep, and the hundred-man team is the basic tactical unit of our Great Qin State. ”
