Chapter IX The Government Soldier System

Wang Huaqiang glanced at the two brothers who were silent around him, and said: "No wonder Ah Da is bent on making us officials, our family is not a rich man in Guzang City, and he can be strong enough to use money and connections to control the official government."

Only if someone in his own family is an official can he hold up a protective umbrella for our Wang family's industry. Otherwise, the business has done like my grandfather, and it is not a thing of the past. ”

Wang He nodded approvingly: "Hua Qiang, being a father is like your kind of wisdom, which Shiwei and they don't have, to be honest, sometimes I really wonder, why are you a teenager, but your heart is like an adult who has experienced vicissitudes, these truths may not even be clear to your father, who taught you?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Wang Huaqiang's eyes, but he secretly said in his heart: "Ah Da, will I sue you that I am a traverser?" ”

Wang He glanced at the other two sons, and said: "You usually use more snacks, learn from the old two, and read more, this time he has earned you an opportunity to make contributions, and if you really become an official in the future, just like you, can you be promoted to the director of the hall?"

We are not Xianbei'er, but the Han family, let's let go of the horse after this southern expedition, and learn more about how to splash ink. ”

Wang He said this, the three sons all laughed, the northern Han and Hu have lived together for more than 300 years, and there has long been a saying that the Han family has been splashing ink and walking the horses Xianbeier, which means that the Han people will come to farm and become civil officials, and the matter of going to war and defending the country will be handled by the northern Hu people such as Xianbei and the Xiongnu.

Based on this principle, it was the government military system from the Western Wei Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the Xianbei people of the Tuoba clan who crisscrossed the desert successively destroyed the Houyan of the Murong clan and the Huxia of the Helian clan of the Huns, who were also Xianbei people, and established the Northern Wei Dynasty that unified the north.

After Tuoba Xianbei entered the Central Plains, their original desert grassland hometown was occupied by another emerging grassland people, in order to guard against Rouran, the Northern Wei Dynasty established six military towns in the Great Wall area, guarded by Hu elite soldiers, and after a long time, these elite soldiers also became hereditary border troops.

At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the ordinary people ate chaff vegetables, but the elite soldiers of the six towns, mainly the Hu people, had no worries about food and clothing, had animal skin clothes to wear, and could eat meat buns at every meal, and lived a life of human beings.

At that time, the Hu people rushed to join the elite soldiers of the Six Towns, and they broke their heads for those enlistment indicators, and the popular slogan was that one person should be a soldier, and the whole family would be glorious!

However, for more than 100 years, there were no major wars between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, production in the north was restored, even ordinary families had wine and meat, and the housekeepers of large families could wear silk clothes.

In contrast, the elite soldiers of the six towns, wrapped in animal skins, gnawing on meat buns, and drinking wind and eating sand on the northern border, gradually became the hanging silk of the world, the bottom of society.

What's even more tragic is that the prisoners still have a sentence to serve, but these elite soldiers of the six towns are hereditary, and future generations have to continue to stand guard for the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is worse than the prisoners of labor reform. The glorious slogan of joining the army back then has also turned into a sky-high resentment that has been suffered from generations by putting on military uniforms.

In addition, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to carry out Sinicization reforms since Emperor Xiaowu, and even the royal Tuoba clan was changed to the Yuan clan, and the entire upper class suddenly played the Han aristocratic style, forcing the Hu people to change many ancient customs, such as brother to brother and brother to change to father and son, after the death of the father, those beautiful little wives will not be able to take the sons into the house.

At this moment, the elite soldiers of the Six Towns, who had been holding back the fire in their bellies, finally erupted like a volcano, setting off a great uprising in the Six Towns like a monstrous wave.

Although the uprising was finally suppressed, the unified Northern Wei Dynasty was then split into the Eastern Wei Dynasty, led by Gao Huan, a Xianbei Han human rights minister, who dominated the Kwantung region, and the Western Wei Dynasty, led by Yu Wentai, a Xianbei general who was born in the Six Towns Rebellion Army, and occupied the western region of Central Longxi.

At the beginning of the establishment of the army, Yuwentai set up twelve guards based on the elite soldiers of the six towns, and set up eight pillars of generals in the country, in addition to Yuwentai himself and the puppet emperor Yuan, in fact, the army is exactly six pillars of the generals, in charge of a town, each of whom has two generals, in charge of two guards.

This military system was based on the Hu tribe in the past, when each tribal leader was in charge of his own private army, grazing cattle in peacetime, and answering calls in wartime, and the khan was only a convener, and could not directly control the private army of these leaders.

The generals of the six pillars each had 12,000 Hu cavalry, and each army was 6,000 people, a total of 60,000 professional soldiers, which also constituted the main military force at the beginning of the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Gao Huan and Yu Wentai each set up a puppet emperor of the Yuan clan, and you fought back and forth for decades, regardless of victory or defeat, and hundreds of thousands of fierce Hu cavalry were killed and wounded in this war.

Later, both sides had to recruit a large number of Han people who were originally only in charge of farming and fighting regardless of the war, and the army dominated by pure Hu cavalry was also changed to a mixed army dominated by Han infantry and supplemented by Hu cavalry, while the military system of the Pillar State of the Western Wei Dynasty was retained.

Each general had two Kaifu under him, and each had a general to lead the army, and Yang Jian's own father, Yang Zhong, was one of the great generals at the time of the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Now the states and counties of all parts of the Great Sui will be assigned to one of the twelve guards, and in almost all the states and counties, there are hussar generals' mansions and chariot cavalry generals' mansions to manage the horse infantry armies of these states and counties.

Wang He suddenly asked: "Wang Xuan said that he called and recruited his private soldiers, did he recruit them in my Great Sui, or did he say that he recruited his father's old department after arriving in Jiangnan?" ”

Wang Huaqiang replied: "Listen to his meaning, it should be here to recruit a few hundred people first, ask our family to pay for the preparation of armor and weapons first, arm these hundreds of people, smuggle them over before the army sets off, and then connect with his father's old troops in the local area, and finally take the army across the river." ”

Wang He's brows were deeply locked: "These hundreds of people crossing the river will not be discovered, is he sure?" And now in this situation, he can contact the old ministry in Nanchen, so he can do it without leaking secrets? In case of a business trip, Chen Jun ambushes at the joint, and you will die without a place to bury. ”

Wang Huaqiang's expression also became extremely stern: "These problems have been considered by the child at the beginning of the discussion with Wang Xuan, and the risks are indeed not small.

But Chen Shubao has no way, Nan Chen Wentian is martial, there are traitors and villains inside, and there are no unscrupulous generals outside, and even many officials in Nan Chen have taken the initiative to secretly write to the emperor, please respond internally, so we are still very sure of the success of smuggling. ”

Wang He's eyes lit up: "Are your information really reliable?" ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't speak, but glanced outside the door, Wang Huashi understood, and went out to support the few servants standing at the door far away, while he acted as a guard outside the door.

Wang Huaqiang nodded gratefully at the eldest brother, turned to Wang He, and smiled slightly: "The child has been checking the news from all walks of life recently.

What can now be confirmed is that Yang Xiang, the general of the Southern Dynasty, has been connected with Wang Xuan and is willing to respond. And the Xingning Order, which has a higher status than Yang Xiang, Pei Yun, the general of the Zhige, heard that he had secretly written directly to the emperor and was willing to submit to him, and said that as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrived, he would lead his troops as the leader. ”

The joy on Wang He's face flashed: "The status of these people is not high, and the power in their hands is limited, at most, they can only lead the way with some clan tribes, and they can't form a large-scale rebellion." ”

Wang Huaqiang looked calm and said calmly: "Ah Da is right, but that's because the southerners think that there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, which can block my heavenly soldiers of the Great Sui, so as long as my army crosses the river, it will definitely be like a cloud."

More than 30 years ago, Hou Jing rebelled, and finally conquered Jiankang, before he crossed the river, there were only 8,000 soldiers, but after fighting under Jiankang City for more than a year, the number of troops increased to 100,000. Because the Yangtze River is the psychological defense line of the southern people, if the Yangtze River is crossed, then the soldiers and civilians of Nanchen will take the initiative to join the army, they must be like carp crossing the river. ”

Wang He nodded, and then asked, "Who is the Jiang Defense General of the Chen Dynasty now?" ”

Wang Huaqiang replied: "It should be Xiao Maha, the hussar general." ”

As soon as Wang Huaqiang's two brothers heard this, their faces immediately changed, and Wang Huawei hurriedly asked: "Is it the god of war of the Southern Dynasty who captured the flag and ran rampant in the world?" ”
