Chapter 282: Government Soldiers and Recruitment (I)
A person like Yue Fei, no matter how low his political IQ is, there is at least one benefit that ordinary generals can't match, that is, Yue Jiajun's loyalty to him.
Anyone who knows this history knows that Yue Fei's favorite thing to do is to pick a child, and he will play a temper with Zhao Gou at every turn to resign, it is said that under normal circumstances, Zhao Gou is too late to be happy, but every time he wants to resign, Zhao Gou has to respectfully invite him back, and the reason for the unspeakable grievances is because of Yue Fei's control over Yue's army.
In history, Zhao Gou has not tried to send someone to take over Yue Jiajun, and the chairman of this kind of employee who threatens to resign at every turn will not like it, but no matter who takes over, he can't even enter the door at all, from the sergeant to the general, what should he do, there is no one to bird you at all, and in the end, there is really no choice but Zhao Gou pinched his nose and invited Yue Fei back, so although the name Yue Jiajun does not appear in the official text, it is also called by the people.
Therefore, these soldiers all believed in the promise given by Yue Fei, without the slightest suspicion, and there were many people who signed up enthusiastically at once.
The so-called Yongye Tian is the basis of the military system of the imperial court, and the training court does not pay military salaries or bear grain and grass on weekdays, all of which are raised by the soldiers themselves, but correspondingly, each government soldier will also get the corresponding Yongye Tian as a guarantee, tax exemption as compensation, and the meritorious person will also increase the number of fields, and only in the time of the war will some military salaries and silk be paid.
This is the root of the Xiongbing in Guanzhong, and in the Wumei period, the land annexation became more and more serious, coupled with the fact that this woman used a special move in order to consolidate her power, on the surface, it was a step for small and medium-sized landlords to advance, but at the same time, the government military system was also destroyed.
And in order to quell the Anshi rebellion not to lie down, the reconstruction of the Guanzhong Xiongbing is an indispensable part, just after this war The population of the Central Plains has decreased sharply, and the small and medium-sized landlords have broken their homes particularly seriously.
Of course, this belongs to the basic political system of the entire Tang Dynasty, and it belongs to the bottom of the structure, and it is probably not so easy to change it, Yue Fei doesn't care about this kind of thing, anyway, it will be handed over to Qin Hao and Li Yu.
And the performance of the Yue family army is much more enthusiastic than imagined, Qin Hao still underestimates the attraction of the land to the ancients, since the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, no matter what the land is rich, it has never restored the government military system, and the Song Dynasty has vigorously improved the status of the literati, and the proportion of people in the world who have lost their land is much higher than that in the late Tang Dynasty, who wants to be a soldier if they can't afford to eat?
And in the Southern Song Dynasty, especially in the early Southern Song Dynasty, well... What a miserable word, to have ten acres of land that does not need to pay taxes, what kind of family is this! Even Xiucai Gong may not have this treatment!
Therefore, almost all of the 8,000 cavalry of the Beiwei Army expressed their determination to go to Tang Fei with Yue Fei, if Qin Hao had not kindly left 2,000 for Zhao Gou, there would be no cavalry available in the Southern Song Dynasty.
And the other branches of the military also maintained almost half and half of the ratio, that is to say, the 120,000 Yue family army, the number of people who followed exceeded 60,000 in the end, looking at the gold coins spent by Kurala, even Qin Hao, who had broken out now, couldn't help but feel a burst of liver pain.
。。。。。。
Tang dynasty.
After settling the Yue family's army, Qin Hao flew to Chang'an as soon as possible to discuss the reform with Li Yu, although the two of them had also mentioned it before, but in current words, Li Yu only agreed in principle, and how to do it well needed to be discussed in detail.
Open the history textbook, all the dynasties that the Han people can fight are the government military system, the Qin Dynasty is the most fierce, directly is the military merit knighthood system, and later this system was abolished after a few years of kung fu and the victory of the Great Qin Empire was destroyed, the later Han Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, and the early Ming Dynasty are all standard government military system, and only the Great Song Dynasty has been using the recruitment system from beginning to end, well... Let's not talk about what the combat effectiveness looks like.
Among them, the Tang Dynasty is the most typical, because the early Tang Dynasty was a pure government military system, and during the Li Longji period, it became a pure military recruitment system, which is so thorough, of course, the result seems to be quite thorough, from all the neighbors calling themselves fathers to everyone is their own father, sad.
Although the conscription system seems to recruit professional soldiers, it should theoretically be stronger than the compulsory soldiers, but in ancient times, the military quality of this thing is actually as long as you are familiar with the operation of the formation and weapons, and the other is really not much worse, the biggest advantage of the government military system is not to save the country so much military salary, but he can mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers to the greatest extent, if the country is compared to a company, the government military system is equivalent to everyone to be a shareholder, and the military recruitment system is a fixed point to pay you a salary, well... Sometimes it doesn't work.
Therefore, when the military recruitment system is in force, the generals like to say one sentence before the war: raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and there is no need to talk about this during the period of the government military system, and one of the biggest characteristics of the government military system is: when you hear the war, you will be happy! The soldiers of the government pondered one thing all day long, who else could the special mother fight?
Therefore, there was often this situation in the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang boss asked the younger brother around him arrogantly, what's the matter, is it not convinced, the younger brother said, the eldest brother I obeyed my old service, Datang said, what you said is not sincere at all, looking for a fight!
often gives people an illusion, why do we have so many enemies in the early Tang Dynasty, in fact, this is not the case at all, the people wonder all day long how to find the enemy, there are not many enemies to see the hell, under the system of the government and military system, the whole country is particularly itchy from top to bottom without fighting for three years.
If you can make great contributions, you will even be knighted, and if you are unfortunate enough to die in battle, you will not be afraid, because the piece of heaven that belongs to you will automatically belong to the rest of your family, which is equivalent to the country buying your life with a piece of land.
This is a good thing, who doesn't look forward to fighting, for the poor people who are illiterate and can't rely on the imperial examination, fighting is the only way for them to change their fate and get ahead, and under the conscription system, power is concentrated in the hands of civil officials, land is concentrated in the hands of small landlords, and no matter how many heads are cut, there is no way to get promoted and raised.
So, it's very sad that since the Great Song Dynasty, the Han people have entered the era of scholar and doctor rule, a large number of civil officials are in power, and the government military system almost no longer exists, there was a little bit in the early Ming Dynasty, but then the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, and it still became a civil politics, and the guards existed in name only, oh, maybe Jinyiwei was an exception.
And our enemy is getting stronger and stronger, from the Khitan after each grassland ethnic group has a complete political power, people are an authentic government military system, no military pay for the war, what is so strong that it counts, for the rations of the wife and children at home, the old enthusiasm to fight, so from the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion to the establishment of the republic, except for the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when it rose slightly, the rest of the time was basically all passive defense and beating.
And now that Qin Hao has crossed over, he must completely solve this problem at the root.
