If you think about it carefully, if all the border soldiers are at the level of the Xuanjia Army and the Tiger Army, each of them can be ten with one and one with a hundred, what else does he need to go all the way to Gyeongju to do?

As long as it is not commanded by incompetent people, with tens of thousands of Xuanjia troops in hand, it is absolutely easy to overthrow the Turks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoYou must know that the Xuanjia Army is the best in the world, and the full strength is only 3,000 people, and it is a strong soldier selected from all the elites of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been formed by rigorous training. One person was killed in the Xuanjia army, and when it was necessary to replenish the quota, ten representatives from each of the twelve guards of Guanzhong would be selected, and after competing with each other, the winner would be selected to supplement.

You must know that the 12 guards in Guanzhong are the core strong soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the number of each army is around 10,000. The Xuanjia Army selected the best one from the 100,000 elite soldiers.

In terms of combat effectiveness, a casual Xuanjia army will not be inferior to a commander at the rank of captain.

In the battle of Tiger Prison, Li Shimin dared to rush Dou Jiande's army of more than 100,000 with 3,500 cavalry, and the 3,000-man Xuanjia army was his confidence.

If everyone in the border soldiers is a Xuanjia soldier, the Turks really don't need to be mixed.

Li Shimin, as a general of Tiance who holds the military power in the world, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to know about the situation of the border soldiers. arranged him all the way to come here, must be because he believed that he could be in a certain period of time. Train the border soldiers like wolves. It would be too embarrassing to just hold his tail and flee back to Chang'an in a gloomy manner. What's more, Li Jing and Li Shiji should have encountered similar situations. They are training hard, what reason does he Qin Feng have to give up?

It's all a head, born by my parents, who is afraid of whom!

Qin Feng pondered.

"Starting tomorrow, let's have a match! Aren't they temperless? Just beat them out of their temper. The clay figurines are all rustic, not to mention the border troops in a treacherous environment. If one is not enough, hit twice, two times is not enough, three times, four times...... Until they are beaten into a hundred steels. Qin Feng said viciously: "Rengui, tomorrow let your second battalion of Huben challenge this group of soft bones, and beat me hard, as long as no one is killed or disabled." Fifteen hundred to ten thousand, presumably they don't have the face to talk nonsense, and if something happens, it's mine. The competition was held for three days in a row, and if they lost, they were allowed to go back, and they came back in the evening, and after the night, the next day was double-started. Weeks and primitive, until three days, the fourth day, unified full equipment training, regular items do not fall. Knock out one and give up the other. If you want to lead the country, you don't do anything, and you don't have a door. If you really don't want to, if you don't want to do things, you can go home to retire with peace of mind, don't occupy the pit and don't. ”

The next day, the 10,000 border troops in Gyeongju made the soldiers of the second battalion of the Huben Army very miserable, one and two of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and some even beat them so much that they couldn't even recognize his relatives.

At night, the confrontation was not over yet, and all night, the Tiger Ben Army was engaged in a sneak attack, rushed directly to the barracks, poured a bucket of cold water on it, and made those border troops jump! However, no one came out to find trouble, which made the second battalion of Huben so boring. With such a wonderful army, they can't find the slightest sense of accomplishment. But there was an order at the peak, and the soldiers of the second battalion still carried out Qin Feng's fate very well, and after three days of confrontation, the border army was not happy, and the tiger army also felt bored, and there was a feeling of adults bullying children.

On the third day, Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui and others also came from Suizhou and Yanzhou in minutes, because there was a Yanzhou between Suizhou and Gyeongju, and there was a day's time difference between the two.

Sure enough, as Qin Feng expected, the situation brought by Su Dingfang was exactly the same as the military situation brought by Zhang Shigui and Gyeongju, and it was not much different. All emphasized that the border soldiers had no will to fight. All of them are submissive. The style of eating and waiting for death is not at all the vigor of a soldier, and there is no spirit of a soldier.

For this matter, everyone talked all night long, and everyone initially had the same opinion, and in their impression, the border soldiers should be very strong. They are constantly threatened by foreign races, live in the midst of war, and protect the peace of the frontier. Therefore, throughout the ages, the border army has been synonymous with brave men, and in many dynasties, the strength of the border army is even far superior to that of the central army.

Because the Central Army is far away from the battlefield, it is easy to be eroded by luxurious life and bewitched by interests. As a result, the generals and colonels love money and cherish their lives, which affects the combat effectiveness of the whole army and is vulnerable. In history, because of the fall of the border, the central army was vulnerable. The most typical example is undoubtedly the Song Dynasty, when the forbidden army has been rotten to the extreme, the country's available soldiers, only the Northwest Seed Division, the Taoist Seed Division's brother's seed army, and the Zhejia Army, the same is true in the late Ming Dynasty, the available soldiers are only related to Ning Tiecai, and there are no soldiers available within the dynasty.

But in the Tang Dynasty, this situation was reversed.

Weak on the inside and weak on the outside

It is undoubtedly a true portrayal of the Tang Army.

This is also inseparable from the rise of the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty established itself in Guanzhong, it adopted the national policy military system of fighting the world in Guanzhong, and established the Twelve Military Offices in the Qinchuan generation in Guanzhong, which is the well-known Guanzhong Twelve Army. In the second year of Gaozu Wude (619 AD), Guanzhong was divided into twelve provinces, that is, twelve administrative regions; Each province has an army, a total of 12 armies; There are also a number of hussar houses and chariot houses, which are subordinate to the 12th Army. In the third year of Wude, the military titles of the 12 armies were awarded: Wannian Dao Banner Army, Chang'an Dao Drum Banner Army, Fuping Dao Xuange Army, Jiuquan Daojing Yue Army, Tongzhou Dao Yulin Army, Huazhou Dao Cavalry Army, Ningzhou Dao Zhewei Army, Qizhou Daoping Dao Army, Pizhou Dao Swagger Army, Xilinzhou Daoyuan Youjun, Jingzhou Dao Tianji Army, Yizhou Dao Tianjie Army, each army has a general, a deputy general, and supervises the government soldiers and ploughs and fights.

The Tang Dynasty expedition must transfer the 12th Army in Guanzhong, and it can almost be said that the vast majority of the entire Tang Dynasty was defeated by the 12th Army, and the strength of the 12th Army in Guanzhong can directly represent the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the 12th Army of Guanzhong was too strong, the development of the Tang Army was also towards the 12th Army of Guanzhong. All excellent equipment first satisfies the 12th Army of Guanzhong, rewards are given to the 12th Army of Guanzhong first, and glory is also the 12th Army of Guanzhong. In the long run, the 12th Army of Guanzhong became stronger and stronger, and the border army lost its fighting spirit due to various imbalances in their hearts.

It also caused the Turkic army to come, the border army shrank and protected the main towns from the Turks, and the wolf-like 12th Army of Guanzhong rushed to the frontline battlefield under the deployment of Li Yuan.

In this way, a vicious circle was formed, and Datang relied too much on the Twelfth Army.

This kind of thing also happened in history, Li Yuan felt that the world was decided, and there was no need for the 12th Army in Guanzhong to exist, so the establishment of the 12th Army was revoked. As a result, the Turkic army attacked, and the Tang army was defeated, so that the soldiers were terrified, and the three armies were terrified and did not dare to fight.

Li Shimin had to personally lead the Xuanjia Army to sweep the formation, and led the 100 people to call out in front of the Turkic army of 50,000 to boost morale, which forced the Turkic army back.

Li Yuan also restored the establishment of the Twelfth Army after this war, which shows the dependence of the Tang Dynasty on the Twelfth Army in Guanzhong. Now, the withdrawal of the 12th Army and the establishment of the 12 Guards, the names are different, but the functions are the same, but Datang's dependence on the 12 Guards is still the same.

This is also the reason why the border soldiers are as weak as sheep.

This situation is exactly the same as that of the Republic of China, the Twelve Guards are equivalent to the descendants of Principal Jiang, and the border troops around the country have become outcasts who don't love the doll and don't love the grandfather. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, President Jiang's descendants fought very bravely, and after several large-scale battles, the descendants were disabled, and at that time, many local troops violated President Jiang's yin and yang, and did their own thing, which also complained about others.

The same goes for you! The current mentality of the border army is no different from that of the local army during the period of President Jiang, and they all cooperate well on the surface, so that you can't catch a little handle, but when it comes to wartime, everyone can't work hard. And the reason is very sufficient, you are a descendant army, you have the best food and clothing in peacetime, and in wartime, you take the lead, as a matter of course; When retreating, you stand behind, as a matter of course; Siege the city and seize the land, overcome difficulties, and send the ...... Stand to reason!

These are the answers that Qin Feng finally got after repeated thinking, combining ancient and modern times, and asking questions about the treatment of the border army in all aspects of the Gyeongju assassin history.

"This situation is not normal in other eras, but it is normal for such problems to occur with me in the previous dynasty." Qin Feng sighed, this problem must be reported to Li Shimin by Pegasus, otherwise the fruit will be unpredictable.

"General, have you found the reason why the border army is weak?" Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui and others asked in surprise, as long as they found the problem, they would be able to prescribe the right medicine.

"That's right, this is caused by the birth defects in the military system and the 'eccentricity' between His Majesty and the Emperor, in fact, it's no wonder that the border army is not to blame." Qin Feng explained these reasons to a group of henchmen and generals.

Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Baoqing, Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui, Xue Rengui, Fang Yiai, Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, Du He and others looked at each other before they understood.

"I see!" Su Dingfang bowed his head and said: "The general is right, the Twelfth Army is too strong, so that the limelight of the border army has been robbed and treated unfairly." This army is uncertain, the people are absent, and in the long run, it will become today's unmotivated border army. ”

Zhang Shiyi worried: "Because they feel that even if they are working hard, the general of His Majesty who is far away in the court will not be able to see it, and they feel that the civil and military forces in the court will focus on the twelve armies and ignore their existence." The more they think like this, the more unsatisfactory and worse they behave, and the less they get everything that a soldier has. Directly degenerated into today's border army, not knowing how to advance, not thinking of progress, eating and waiting for death. ”

Luo Daodao: "In this way, a vicious circle has been formed, and if it continues to develop, the border army will be abolished!" (To be continued.) )
