Chapter 165: Huairou Policy - All People Are Soldiers

Jin Liang waved his hand again, signaling that this was inside Jingzhou, and said solemnly: "There are also many Yellow Turban remnants in Jingzhou who are wandering around now, and there are even some families who are ignorant and ignorant, stupid and damn to collude with Dong Zhuo's old thieves, black mountain thieves, Shanyue and other barbarians, they use these hostile forces to weaken their opponents, making the fertile land of Jizhou become a desolation now."

Speaking of this, Jin Liang paused for a moment, and saw that his words had successfully aroused the fear and anxiety in the hearts of these family heads, so he shouted again: "In the past, this situation existed for five years, you have also been frightened and frightened for five years, and the people of Jizhou have also suffered for five years, and now the Son of Heaven is coming to Jingzhou, and the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he will never allow this situation to continue, so he has carte blanche to entrust me to rectify the security of Jingzhou, and merge Jingzhou and Hanoi County and Dong County into Sili, and I am now the captain of Sili, responsible for the security of the Sili area, I will never allow the families loyal to the court to be threatened by those thieves again, and I will never allow the people of the division to suffer so much again. ”

The judge in a green robe, with a sneer on his face, asked with a sneer: "General Jin, this situation has lasted for five years, the former Jingzhou Assassin Shi Jia Cong is known as a capable minister of the world, and there is nothing to be done, the general is young and thin, I don't know how to change this situation?" Do you think those thieves are as stupid as Yu Poison, and will fall for your clumsy plan, and you will drown hundreds of thousands of troops alive? ”

As soon as Cai Mao's questioning words came out, the audience was silent, and some family heads looked at Cai Mao with pity and sympathy, this stupid bird dared to directly challenge the authority of General Zhengnan. Hasn't he heard the tragic fate of Li Cheng and the other five families?

Don't wait for Jin Liang to say. The Son of Heaven Liu argued a dragon case. Stood up angrily: "Cai Mao, I was also in Huangze Lake at that time, General Jin Liang dug up Huangze Lake and drowned more than 100,000 people and horses in poison, I witnessed it with my own eyes, General Jin's plan is very clever, comparable to the famous generals of ancient times." And your ancestors were deeply favored by the emperor, and they were not happy with the victory of the imperial court officials and troops, but they held a grudge against the thousands of acres of wasteland that were flooded in their own house. What qualifications do such narrow-minded, unsightly, and forgetful people have to stand on top of this hall, and where is the Yulin Army, knocking the Cai family out of the palace and out of Xiangyang, I never want to see them! ”

Wu Chong took two hundred Yulin sergeants to the main hall, set up Cai Mao's family and the children of several small and medium-sized families attached to them, and dragged them out of the main hall.

Yuan Shao and others wanted to intercede for Cai Mao, but they were stopped by Taifu Lu Zhi: "Cai Mao is greedy for personal gain, does not pay attention to righteousness, despises meritorious heroes, and roars at the court, such a ridiculous person has aroused the anger of the Son of Heaven." Driven out of Xiangyang, it should be. What's there to talk about? ”

Yuan Shao saw that the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and the cabinet ministers were all angry, and the soldiers of the Yulin Tiger Army who were guarding the hall looked at each other angrily, and they didn't dare to commit any more anger for a new strategist, so they hurriedly sat down in their original positions and did not say a word.

The Son of Heaven Liu Wei was still angry, and continued to say to the heads of the family present: "General Jin first saved the Queen Mother in the palace during the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, and then pursued Zhang Rang to Xiaopingjin to rescue me and Chen Liuwang, and then saw that Dong Zhuo was ambitious, so he tried his best to persuade the Queen Mother and me to come to Xiangyang, and later Dong Zhuo privately established Chen Liuwang in Luoyang, so that General Jin Liang persuaded me and the Queen Mother to temporarily avoid Dong Zhuo and come to Xiangyang to save my life, along the way, General Jin Liang broke Guo Tai, Zhang Yan, Yu Poison and other rebels hundreds of thousands of troops, It can be regarded as saving my life, just now the Dong thief sent an assassin to assassinate me, if it wasn't for General Jin Liang's timely awareness, I would have to go to see the first emperor. General Jin is my blessed general, with General Jin here, I can be safe and worry-free, so I will not allow anyone to slander General Jin Liang, Cai Mao is disrespectful to General Jin Liang, that is, disrespectful to me, this great disrespectful crime, how to deal with it, please speak up! ”

Looking at Liu Wei's meaning, if he can behead Cai Mao's family, he will immediately send troops to fight, how can Cai Mao's family have a big cause, and the entire big family can gather more than 20,000 people, if the court is very urgent, he will take risks and collude with Dong Zhuo to plot Liyang, what should be good.

Thinking of this, Jin Liang laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that General Cai is loyal and martyrdom, and there is a festival that cannot be violated. General Cai Mao's words just now should not be understood by Wei Chen, so he sent a remark, Wei Chen admired Cai Mao's integrity, and hoped that the emperor would forgive him. ”

The Son of Heaven Liu Wei was still angry, and hesitated to accept Jin Liang's advice.

Jin Liang had no choice but to step forward and whisper about Cai Mao's potential harm, and Liu Wei had to agree, and said loudly: "General Jin is kind-hearted, repays virtue with grievances, and persuades me to forgive and judge, I see that General Jin Liang is sincere, and I can't bear to brush off his kindness." In this way, General Yuan Benchu, you can go for me, catch up with Cai Mao, and say that I will let him go home and reflect for a few days, and the children of his family can still come to various yamen in Xiangyang to find jobs. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and hurriedly strode out of the palace and chased Cai Mao and others.

The heads of those families all gave up their hands and sighed: "General Jin Liang's generosity and generosity, repaying virtue with grievances, really make my generation admire them so much." ”

Jin Liang waved his hand: "Compared with the major events of the imperial court, my personal honor and disgrace are nothing!" With a righteous and awe-inspiring look, in fact, he had already made up his mind that once the alliance against Dong broke down and returned to Jingzhou, he would be the first to destroy the Cai family.

After Cai Mao's episode, Jin Liang continued to climb the high platform and asked first: "Now that the Sili area is worried about internal and external troubles, it is very unstable, I don't know if you have any subtle strategies to solve problems for the imperial court?" ”

When the thieves came, each family guarded its own fort, and those who were dependent on each other by marriage were united and supported each other, doing so in the past five years, and doing the same in the future.

Jin Liang listened to their discussions, shook his head and sighed: "You closed the door and defended and saved your own lives, but what about your fields, property, your tenants, slaves, and more poor landlords and homesteaders?" Ladies and gentlemen, I have a word to tell you, if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will be humble to help the world. You are now all local wealthy families who are deeply favored by the emperor, not poor families, but Tengda generations, and you should help the world. It should be for the benefit of the people. Share worries for the court! ”

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others hurriedly followed Lu Bu's words and asked the heads of the family of Lu Bu's family: "I don't know how we can share the worries of the imperial court?" ”

Jin Liang slowly said word by word: "All the people are soldiers!" ”

All the soldiers? A big question mark came to the minds of all the heads of families. I couldn't help asking: "Please show me the general, what kind of art is it for all the people?" ”

Jin Liang smiled slightly and patiently explained: "In order to resist so many external troubles and defend our rich homeland, we must actively accumulate and strengthen our reserve combat forces, establish a reserve militia, and realize that all people are soldiers, regardless of towns and villages. All men and women over the age of 15 who are in good health, regardless of gender, must gradually ensure that everyone receives military training and that everyone learns to use ordinary weapons, so as to thoroughly solve the problem of raising fewer soldiers in peacetime and using more troops in wartime. ”

The heads of various families were stunned, they never thought that Jin Liang would have such a huge plan, for a while, they were all stunned, they didn't know what to say to refute Jin Liang's grand plan of all the people to be soldiers, so they could only let Jin Liang talk about it in detail.

Jin Liang continued to talk about the strategic plan of all the people as soldiers. According to the Han system. The administrative units below the county level are townships, pavilions, and li, and roughly 100 households are one mile. Ten miles is a pavilion, and ten pavilions are a township. The governor of the township is the rank and the husband, and the order is that you are in charge of public security, the township is in charge of taxes, and the three elders are in charge of education; The pavilion chief is in charge of public security, and there are pavilion marquis and pavilion pawns; The governor of the league is the likui. Officials in townships, pavilions, and li are generally appointed and dismissed by higher-level organs such as counties and counties.

In order to unify the title, Jin Liang solicited the opinions of other auxiliary ministers and changed the name of the chief from Li Kui to Li Chang; The power and responsibility of the pavilion chief at the pavilion level was changed to be responsible for government affairs, and a pavilion lieutenant was set up to be responsible for military security; The rank of the township-level prefect and the husband sounded very tongue-twisting, and it was difficult to understand, so they were changed to township orders and township officials, and you were changed to township lieutenants, who were in charge of military security, and the township officials remained unchanged and were still responsible for tax collection, and the three elders were changed to township masters, who were in charge of education. The county level and above will not be moved for the time being.

First of all, establish a pavilion-level reserve army, which is aggregated in the township unit, referred to as the township soldier. In order to be able to effectively defend against foreign enemies, the minimum of fortified walls was carried out, the small villages were abolished, and the people who lived loosely were moved to the large village where the pavilion was located, and the large pavilion fort was established, and at the same time, the land of the original small village was leveled and reclaimed as fertile land.

Each pavilion ensured that more than 1,000 households lived, and all healthy men and women between the ages of fifteen and fifty were incorporated into the military and formed a reserve militia, divided into two teams, men and women, with the pavilion as a unit, and trained once every five days; At the same time, a scout of the reserve army was established in Wubaoli, and children between the ages of eight and fourteen were also initially trained in military training. Each pavilion has a pavilion chief and a pavilion captain, who is responsible for government affairs, and the pavilion commander is responsible for preparing militia training and maintaining law and order. Both the pavilion chief and the pavilion lieutenant must hand over a son or a direct male family member to join the central official army to prevent the fort from serving as a thief.

The reserve militia accounts for about a quarter of the total population, and there are more than 6 million people in the entire Sili area, and 1.5 million reserve militia can be integrated to guard more than 1,500 pavilions and forts in the entire Sili area, and each pavilion is defended by about 1,000 village soldiers, which is enough to protect itself for a while.

The township-level administrative office is set up in the largest pavilion in the township, and every half a month, the township lieutenant organizes a joint training of all the reserve militia in the township, and every three months the township lieutenant organizes all the militia to conduct an actual combat exercise, and the township lieutenant is also responsible for directing the coordinated combat defense of the 10 pavilions and forts in the township.

Then, a county-level garrison was established, referred to as the county soldier. A county-level garrison is selected from five reserve militias, with male soldiers in charge of fighting and female soldiers in charge of law and order, and are jointly responsible for defending the county seat. The county-level garrison has a county lieutenant who is responsible for command and training, and is also responsible for security patrols. The county commander and county lieutenant must also hand over a son or a direct male family member to join the central official army, so as to prevent the county commander or county lieutenant from leading the army to the enemy. The county-level garrison army accounts for about one-twentieth of the total population, and there are 6 million people in the entire Sili area, which can integrate 300,000 county-level garrison troops to guard more than 100 county towns in the Sili area, and each county has about 3,000 county soldiers to defend, which is enough to protect itself for a while.

Then, a county-level garrison was established, referred to as the county soldier. A county-level garrison is selected from three county-level soldiers, based on the city where the county-level is located, and is trained once every two days, divided into two units to take turns cultivating and training, and the combat effectiveness of the county-level soldiers can basically be used for field battles and border defense. The county-level garrison has a county lieutenant who is responsible for command and training, and is also responsible for security patrols, and other matters are under the jurisdiction of the county guard, but the command of military training is not affected by the county guard. The county guard and county lieutenant must also hand over a son or a direct male family member to join the central official army, so as to prevent the county guard and county lieutenant from leading the army to the enemy. The soldiers made up about one-fiftieth of the population. There are 6 million people in the entire Sili region. It can integrate 120,000 county-level garrisons. Each of the twelve counties guarding the Sili region was defended by about 10,000 county soldiers, which was enough to protect itself for a while.

After talking about his strategic plan to make all the people soldiers, Jin Liang secretly asked proudly: "Do you have any objections?" Please! ”

In an instant, he saw all the heads of the house raise their hands in the air. Jin Liang tried hard to suppress his surprise, and asked with a calm face: "It seems that everyone has a lot of objections, so let's discuss with each other and find a few representatives." Get the main issues out there. ”

After some whispering, a head of the house raised his hand and asked, "Why are female soldiers being selected?" ”

Jin Liang replied with a sad face: "I want to ask you, in such an era when there is a lot of chaos everywhere, those thieves invade, will he let go of the butcher's knife because the person in front of him is a woman?" Will he not rob the woman in front of him of her food, money, and goods? He's more likely to take off his pants because the one in front of him is a beautiful woman! Now that thieves are rampant, many men are not able to protect themselves, how can they protect their women, so the best way is to have women armed and fight against foreign enemies together with their men! ”

Jin Liang's words are very reasonable, but most of the heads of families here are heirlooms of poetry and books. was educated by Confucius to be extremely discriminatory against women, on the one hand, he felt that women were useless in battle, but it would affect the morale of the army. On the one hand, he felt that women going into battle and mixing in the barracks would affect the morale of the army, and even the other auxiliary ministers of the cabinet did not agree with Jin Liang's idea.

Jin Liang cast his rescue eyes on the Empress Dowager He, and the Empress Dowager He smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, this palace wants to establish a forbidden army in the palace to protect the palace, the queen and the princess, all composed of strong and powerful women, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Those heads of the family had no doubt about this, and said in unison: "Of course, the queen mother and princess are better female guards. ”

Empress Dowager He continued to smile and asked, "In that case, should you beautiful women be escorted by men or escorted by women?" ”

Empress Dowager He's question was very ingenious, leaving those family heads speechless. Thus, under mutual compromise, the proportion of women in all ranks was set at one-tenth of that of male soldiers, and female soldiers were responsible for the protection of the female dependents of all generals, officials, wealthy merchants, and medical care.

Another head of the family asked, "What about our own soldiers?" ”

Jin Liang praised: "You asked this question well, the reason why I am standing here and telling you that all the people are soldiers is not to just want you families to defend the enemy army alone, but to unite all the people to work together to fight against foreign enemies." In addition to your Wu Fort, other poor landlords and ordinary yeoman farmers have also set up Wu Fort, forming a corner with your Wu Fort, supporting each other, isn't it also beneficial to your family's Wu Fort? You should also be responsible for defending the county and county seats, because most of the business in the county and county towns is in your hands, and you can't completely hand over the county soldiers and county soldiers of ordinary people to defend for you, so you have to transfer a part of your family soldiers to the county soldiers and county soldiers, so that you don't have to suffer losses because the city is broken by the enemy! ”

Speaking of this, Jin Liang added a request: "I suggest you think about how to live in harmony with the local landlords and ordinary people, if you blindly oppress and offend the people, although the situation is great now, but in case the enemy army is about to come, those ordinary people are not willing to help you, you may still be attacked by those thieves sooner or later and the whole family will be destroyed, I am not alarmist, you look at those Wu forts near Montenegro, are there still people living there?" ”

Another head of the household asked: "Will our tenants and slaves also be incorporated into the reserve army?" ”

Jin Liang looked at him with a serious face: "As I said, all healthy Han people between the ages of fifteen and fifty, regardless of men and women, are all incorporated into the reserve militia, which is the basis for all people to be soldiers. ”

"But those pavilion captains and village captains are all outsiders, I'm afraid they can't command my tenants and slaves?!"

Jin Liang said coldly: "Since you have been incorporated into the army, whether you are prepared or prepared for war or garrison, you must obey the system of the army, and you must obey the command of your superiors, otherwise you will be beheaded or punished, and you will never be spared. ”

Jin Liang saw that the faces of those family heads were gloomy, so he reassured them: "I recruited you here because you are the most powerful and most prestigious in the local area, and your pavilion lieutenants, township lieutenants or county lieutenants can be completely served by your children, but most of your children have not undergone formal military training, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to be qualified for those positions for the time being."

It is better to send some soldiers from the Central Army to serve as pavilion lieutenants, township lieutenants, and county lieutenants, and you will send your clan's children to the Central Army for training, and after one year, the children who have passed the training will be put back to be pavilion lieutenants, township lieutenants, or county lieutenants. ”

Hearing Lu Bu say this, those heads of the family were all smiling, as long as they can grasp the military power, we are not afraid of any tricks that Jin Liang's Central Army will do. (To be continued.) )
