2383 Military Reform of the State of Chu
Pengcheng of Chu State. Vertex. Update the Chancellery as soon as possible.
"At present, it is inevitable that we will increase our military spending, but the problem is that we have an army of one million, and with such a huge army size, it is difficult for us to see the effect after increasing our military spending, and the most obvious feature is our navy, which is a technical branch of the armed forces, and we need to buy ships to expand our naval career." Chen Ping said.
"Disarmament, that's the only way." Fan Zeng thought about it and said to Chen Ping.
"I think, Prime Minister, we should be cautious on this issue, if we disarm, it will involve the core interests of the aristocracy, and we must be cautious, otherwise, the situation will be very bad." Chen Ping kindly reminded. The development of aristocratic power has become a big problem in Chu Guowei. The central power is relatively weak, although the Chu State has established a central government, but their power is not very large, and the power is in the hands of the nobles, because they have legislative power, they can establish relevant bills that benefit the nobles of the Chu State, for example, on the issue of taxation, the nobles have made a compromise, they can pay taxes, but the tax rate is extremely low. The tax paid was not as good as one-twentieth of the commercial tax collected, but the nobles held more than ninety percent of the wealth of the Chu State, which was extremely unreasonable. But the aristocracy was like that, and their reason was very high-sounding, and that was to encourage the development of industry and commerce. This is to encourage the aristocracy to continue to monopolize the economic lifeline of the entire Chu State, and Fan Zeng is extremely dissatisfied with this, he is the first prime minister of the Chu State, but he has to act according to the eyes of the nobles.
"I know that this problem must be treated with caution, but the more cautious it is, the more difficult it is, our financial revenue is already very small, and we have to support a large number of troops, this number is as high as one million, one person costs one gold is one million gold, just eating and drinking is enough to make our finances into absolute difficulties." Fan Zeng said. For such a situation, he believes that reform must be carried out, but how to change it is the question that he should be concerned about.
"But if the disarmament issue is not handled well, our situation will enter a catastrophe, and I think the prime minister should understand that we are not in a very good situation." Chen Ping said.
"Moreover, the aristocracy could take advantage of the fact that they had sent troops from the open seas to demand an increase in military spending, especially the huge army spending. In this way, the situation is not in our favor, and if they attack, the prime minister will be on the back foot on this issue, and we must be wary of that. Chen Ping said. The parliament has the right to impeach the prime minister, and once such a bill is passed, Fan Zeng may face resignation, which is why Fan Zeng has been slow to start on the issue of military spending, because once impeached, he will step down immediately. Chen Ping is worried that such a problem will happen.
"I'm clear about that. But if the state of Chu does not solve this problem, I will be useless in the stage, and on this issue, I have an idea, which is to reorganize the army, expand the marines, collect the army of the nobles, and then take a series of measures. Take back the army. In particular, the private armies in the hands of the aristocracy were taken back. A large number of military academy graduates are installed. Fan Zeng said. In fact, this plan was not new, there were already such plans long before they entered the Chu State. And he was very satisfied with this, but because the aristocratic power was extremely large, it was difficult for them to implement this plan in a short time, and now Fan Zeng thought that this was a good opportunity, because the state of Chu was going to send troops to fight.
"The current overseas dispatch of troops is a good opportunity." Fan Zeng said.
"But there is little direct correlation between sending troops overseas and the size of the army." Chen Ping said.
"Here's my plan," he said. Fan Zeng said.
"To send troops overseas, it is necessary for the central army to send troops to fight, so that there are requirements for reorganization, not only that, but there is another point, that is, to send troops, the central army is reduced, it needs to be expanded, and the armed forces of the local nobles will be expanded, which is extremely unfavorable to the king, because the control of the local area is reduced a lot. There is a big reason for the expansion of the central army, and no one opposes this. Fan Zeng said.
"But the aristocracy wants to oppose it, but this is not conducive to the aristocracy's control of the army, so we will give them a chance, and this opportunity is the militia system." Fan Zeng said to Chen Ping.
"Do you remember what happened in the Qin State General Staff?" Fan Zeng asked Chen Ping.
"Yes, I remember, I just don't understand what kind of huge impact the militia has on the current military reform of our Chu State." Chen Ping said.
"The impact is that a large number of aristocratic armed forces are transferred into the militia armed system, they are not regular troops, just militias, they have their own armed forces, just right, we need to develop all the way south along the coastal line, which requires a large number of troops to be stationed, if a million troops are sent out directly, it may be very problematic, but if it is replaced by militias, these militias are not the army, they are the reserve forces of the country, they have their own weapons, and they need to bear the corresponding military costs themselves, This suited the aristocracy, who had a large amount of overseas land, which they needed to protect, as the plantation economy was vulnerable to destruction by the other side. In order to achieve such a situation. We're going to have to figure out how to solve this problem. Fan Zeng said.
"Militia, be our best choice." Fan Zeng said.
"The national army is going to be reorganized, so that they are equivalent to handing over the army directly. However, if it becomes a militia force, they can effectively control these militias, and the militia can become their private armed forces, how to arm, to what extent, we can all care, in the militia bill, in this case, how those nobles will choose, they will naturally have a good choice. Fan Zeng said.
"Hmm." Chen Ping nodded, for such a plan, Chen Ping didn't seem to have any shortcomings, and the nobles seemed to be easy to accept. And there is the problem of dredging the huge scale of the Chu ** team. The aristocracy, having plantations, needed precisely such a large private army to protect themselves.
"Prime Minister, I think something is still missing, you know, those nobles are worried about far more things than we think. I think it's better for us to make some compensation or take some incentives, after all, they are more receptive to such things. Chen Ping suggested. Chen Ping believes that on the issue of aristocracy, the prime minister's thinking has changed greatly, and the impact may be relatively large, and the aristocracy needs to be appeased to deal with it, that is, to deal with it little by little, only in this way can the aristocracy be in a position that is more conducive to the country, and the reform can be fast, but it must be slow. Can't be too fast.
"Compensation, the treasury of Chu State can no longer take out a lot of money. At present, the land bonds have not been purchased, and in such a situation, it is unlikely that Chu State will have too much compensation, which is already the best plan we have come up with. Fan Zeng said a little toughly. Although he has exercised restraint, it does not seem to be very obvious. On the contrary, it may be a bit aggressive.
"Okay." Chen Ping nodded. The biggest difficulty facing Chu at present is still the financial problem.
Korean peninsula.
"Damn it, these damn Southerners." A Goguryeo policeman cursed incessantly. The cold weather made him feel very uncomfortable. They are the Goguryeo police force, and when they came to the southern region, they asked for a large number of slaves, young adults, and then some women, this is so that Goguryeo can reproduce the next generation, this is the national policy issued by Li Wending, only with a large population, Goguryeo can develop further, but the Goguryeo police are a little disgusted with such things. Because it's so cold. It's mountainous again. Winters are very cold.
"Hahaha. Lao Li. Don't be afraid to worry, when you get to the place, such a cold place, drink two more sips of wine, and then find a southern woman to play, it will be much warmer. A lewd Goguryeo policeman came over and said with a smile. He said, holding a wine bottle in his hand.
"Bring it, you lewd fellow." Lao Li snatched the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, and then he felt a lot warmer all over his body.
"Women, women, you know women, all you think about is women every day." Lao Li scolded disdainfully.
"I think you're going to die on a woman in the future." Lao Li scolded disdainfully.
"Hehe, that's fine, it's better than lying on the ground. The weapons of the Qin people are very good, with this portable machine gun, those tribal women are at our disposal, if only they could dress up. The lewd guy said with a smile. He is very fascinated by women.
"Wait. I feel something is wrong, damn it was all caused by talking to you. Lao Li looked up at the surroundings at this time, this place is really suitable for ambush. There are high ground on both sides, they are in a low-lying place, as long as they occupy it, they can immediately shoot downward, and most importantly, they are densely wooded, they don't know the location of the other side at all, it is too suitable for the other side to hide.
"Don't worry, they don't have advanced weapons, I think, you're just too worried." The lewd guy said at this time.
"Woo." At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the sky in the sky. Lao Li subconsciously dodged.
"Oh no, hide. There was an ambush. Lao Li shouted loudly. But the Goguryeo police in this squad have long let down their vigilance, and the southerners are too weak and easy to bully for them. They've already developed this way of thinking.
"Whoosh." Arrows rained down. The lewd guy was hit with several arrows in the chest. He fell to his knees and felt painful. Lao Li leaned against a big tree and watched.
