Chapter 5 The Three Guards of the King
The Prince of Great Qin has his own pro-army guard, which is the ancestral system left by Taizu.
After Taizu founded the country, he successively named three kings of the opposite sex as the screen of the country, and nine princes of the clan as the imperial screen domain.
Allow them to establish a feudal state and form their own pro-army guards. The number of guards for each prince was determined according to the size of the vassal state given to them by the imperial court at that time.
Of the twelve princes of the vassal kingdom, the largest of the vassal kingdoms was several states, and the smaller ones were only one county and city. According to the size of their fiefdoms, the pro-army guards stipulate the yellow register of the people in the fiefdom. There are five or six guards in the big feudal guards, and there is only one guard in the small feudal guards, or even none.
The imperial court's feudal statehood and allowing the vassal kings to build their own armies was based on the court's strong military strength and self-confidence.
The military system of the Great Qin court was divided into three parts, the Beijing camp, the government army, and the border army.
After Taizu set the world, he adopted a three-level system of Daozhou (government) and county.
According to the situation of the mountains and rivers in the world, the convenient transportation is divided into ten "roads". It has jurisdiction over 350 prefectures and 1,600 counties.
In order to defend the Jingshi, maintain the absolute military deterrence of the central court against the localities.
Taizu was established, and three battalions, four armies, and sixteen guards guarded the Beijing Division.
The third battalion, garrisoning the Gyeonggi zone, was stationed at an important pass near Bianjing. There are Beiwei battalions, Shaoyue battalions, and 3,000 battalions. Each battalion has 50,000 people, which are supplemented by the elite of the local and border armies, and are the elite of the elite of Great Qin.
The loser of the four armies defended Bianjing, Yulin Army, Longwu Army, Shenwu Army, Xuanjia Army, because the official office was in the north of the imperial city, it was named the North Ya Four Army also known as the Northern Army. 30,000 men per army.
The Sixteen Guards were the emperor's personal guards, who took turns to garrison the imperial city. There are left and right Jin Wu Wei, left and right Tiger Ben Guard, left and right mighty guard, left and right leading the army guard, left and right Qianniu Guard, left and right prison guard, left and right front and rear Imperial Forest Guard, because the official office in the south of the imperial city named Nanya Sixteen Guards also known as the Southern Army. 10,000 people per bathroom.
At the local level, the Zhichong Prefecture was set up in the prefecture and city administration office, and the selection and training management of the government soldiers were responsible. Each Zhechong Prefecture selects government troops according to the yellow register of the people in its own state capital, ranging from tens of thousands at most to 1,000 or hundreds at a time, depending on the needs of the war.
At the height of the prosperity of Great Qin, the number of soldiers in service once reached more than 2 million.
The government soldiers are soldiers in wartime and people in agricultural time, so the combat effectiveness can be imagined. In order to cope with the continuous war at the border for many years. Taizu set up a military town system at the border pass.
To defend against the Western Xia, Liao and barbarians. Nine military towns have been set up on the border line that stretches for thousands of miles, Ji Town, Liao Town, Xuan Town, Fu Town, Sui Town, Yongguan Town, Wuguan Town, Shanhai Town, and Jingxi Town.
Each town has a general to lead the army, and each town has four guards, each with 10,000 to 20,000 guards.
Above the town, three or two towns are under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate.
The one who governs the Nine Towns is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Nine Towns. is a member of the first product, crowned as a lieutenant, ranked as the third duke, and the governor of the nine towns.
The soldiers in the military town were recruited, and their food and salary were much higher than those of the government army, and they were always drilled, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the government army.
Xia Zongxiao was divided into King Wei when Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne.
There are three guards and pro-army. Divided into, the left guard of the king, the middle guard of the king, and the right guard of the king. The full strength of each guard is 20,000 people, and each guard is led by a school captain. There were only 6,319 regular troops.
According to the principle of each household, hereditary system and the elimination of every household, there should be two more sergeants, because the original regular army died in an accident, leaving only children and more than fifty old people.
Whether they have eligible military survivers at home, so they didn't make up for it. When the children of the two families reach the age of 16, they can make up for their parents' shortcomings.
Sun Shilu, who is eight feet tall and has a hideous face, often wears a metal mask with a black and white grimace in order to hide his terrifying face. It is a person who witnessed the changes in Yongguan back then. He is also the captain of the guard of the king.
In the eyes of the sergeant, he was a devil, terrible-looking, taciturn, and cold and unkind. He is the head of the training of the three guards of the Weiwang, and he is also the military suppressor, in charge of military regulations and military discipline.
Over the past 16 years, more than 6,000 households of the regular army and idle remnants have been trained in the specially vacated school field in Sanweifang under his leadership. Although the vast majority of people have never seen a bloody battle, they can't be called a strong army, but they are much stronger than those young masters and old soldiers in the current Beijing camp.
At least the three guards of the king, the military discipline is strict, and the order is forbidden...
A hatred and sorrow have always been buried in his heart. In the Yongcheng Rebellion of that year, the barbarians broke through Yongguan and not only killed the emperor of Great Qin, but also took away his brothers and nephews.
also made him change from a noble family to a pro-military captain, and even made him a person, no ghost or ghost.
He always remembered this hatred. Therefore, he is tireless and conscientious trainer Wei Wang Sanwei, hoping that one day he will be able to take revenge.
After he received the military order from the Wei Wangfu, his whole body was boiling.
Sixteen years! Sixteen years! He could finally put on his armor and hold the blade on the land that broke his heart, although the enemy this time was not a barbarian, but in his eyes, the Western Xia and Liao people were no different from barbarians.
The change of Yongguan has their shadows, and this time they should be charged interest....
The three guards of Weiwang quickly assembled under the command of Sun Shilu, and he received an order to go out with the Beijing Pioneer Battalion at noon tomorrow.
Many of the remnants of the army who were looking for their lives inside and outside Bianjing, and the auxiliary army received military orders and were all recalled.
Unlike Weiwang's notoriety, Weiwang's name is a guarantee of credibility and quality.
Because King Wei is wealthy and holds the power of the frosting franchise, except for the imperial court, only King Wei's family has the right to operate the frosting.
Frosting, also known as snow sugar, is different from black miscellaneous sugar, which is crystal white and snow-white, just like the clouds of cotton in the sky. It is beautiful and sweet, and it is a necessary life seasoning for the families of dignitaries and ordinary people.
Different from the frosting franchised by the imperial court, the frosting sold by Weiwang is not only brighter, but also sweeter, the key is that the price is still cheap, only forty wen per catty, and it can be eaten for a long time if it is saved.
Frosting is second only to salt and iron's profiteering, and King Wei is rich and luxurious.
He often rewarded his soldiers and slaves, meat every three or five days, drank wine at two ends in three days, and had different rewards during the New Year's holidays.
These remnants grew up to be extremely strong. And because Sanwei was trained by Sun Shilu, the military discipline was strict, and the work was never discounted, and he enjoyed a good reputation in Bianjing City.
Those who hired them and those who worked with them saw them all in large numbers leaving their work and rushing home.
For some unfinished work, the surplus soldiers returned the money after receiving a fixed fee.
It caused the people who hired them and those who worked with them to think that the king was going out again, and who was going to fight.
After all, there was a few years ago, King Wei summoned the guards of the three guards and the prince of Wu to fight on the bank of the Bianjing River, and only 300 Wei Wang's army and more than 1,000 people lost their armor.
In this regard, the people of Bianjing have a better impression and trust in Wei Wang Junyu, thinking that they have greatly grown the face of the old Bianjing people!
