Since the recorded history of Middle-earth, the relationship between the north and the south has always influenced and even directly determined the fate of Middle-earth, and today it is the same, today the south of Middle-earth is unified, and the desert and the north are also allied again, fortunately, the west is currently divided, otherwise Middle-earth will fall into the west and north of the two major foreign enemies between the attack.

With today's strong national strength after the unification of Middle-earth, it is enough to resist the allied captives in the northern desert, but what the Middle-earth people seek is not long-term confrontation, but long-term peace, so the Middle-earth people are accumulating strength, intending to give the Beiyu a fatal blow, to completely destroy the Beiyu by force, and rebuild the great achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in destroying the Xiongnu. The people of Middle-earth have great ambitions, the Turks also have them, the people of Middle-earth want to dominate the world, and the Turks also want to, but today's Turks have self-knowledge, and today's Middle-earth is a behemoth, and when this behemoth grows into an invincible being, the end of the Turks will come, so for the Turks, the premise of their survival and development is that the people of Middle-earth cannot grow into an invincible existence, for this reason, they must do their best to curb the development of the Middle-earth people, and find ways to delay the development of the Middle-earthers.

The strategies of the North and the South were very different, and therefore the goals of the Civil War were also different.

The goal of the Civil War of the Middle-earth people was to destroy the Northern Captives with their strength, open up the territory, and the world would be unified and peaceful, while the goal of the Northern War was to contain and delay the development of the Middle-earth people, and the two tigers could fight, if one of the tigers became a fierce beast, there would be no fighting.

From the different goals of the north and the south, the people of the Middle Earth like to raze the enemy, weaken the opponent, strengthen themselves, sometimes even show the enemy to be weak, with humiliating and friendly strategies to win the exhibition time, only wait for the disparity in strength between the two sides, they will move the civil war, swallow each other in one bite, and the northern captives because the geographical environment is too harsh, the resources are small, the population is small, the strength is slow, in the civil war has always been at a disadvantage, its tactics are very simple, when the strength is weak, it will be attached, recuperate; When the strength is about the same, bite when you get the opportunity; When the strength is enough, the Civil War will be moved. For them, everything is for survival, strength is fundamental, and the premise of strengthening their own strength is that your strength cannot increase too fast, otherwise you will not be able to maintain normal north-south relations.

Now the development of Middle-earth is too fast, especially since the accession of the Holy Lord, the domestic economy has been booming, and the corresponding is that the defense and diplomatic strategy of Middle-earth has changed from "guarding the inside and outside" to "defending the outside and the inside", from passive defense to active offensive, and the expression has shown a strong momentum of expansion and aggressive ambition, which can be clearly seen from a series of major actions such as passing through the western territory and opening up the western frontier.

The North, of course, was nervous. You can guard against me and contain me, but there is a limit, you are doing this clearly to eat me, of course I can't deal with it passively, of course I have to actively prepare for war, and I have to attack instead of defending, so the relations between the North and the South have become irrepressibly tense.

The clouds of the Civil War gradually condensed on the front line of the Great Wall, but the people of Middle-earth had lofty goals and did not want to carry out the Civil War for the time being, especially the reform of the centralized system was in the stage of attacking, as long as the attack was completed, the exhibition of Middle-earth would inevitably reach a new height, and the national strength would be stronger.

However, the Turks will not do what the Middle-earthers want, and the Northerners will not let the Middle-earthers become strong, and the more you Middle-earthers want to delay the outbreak of the Civil War, the faster they will start the Civil War, so the Middle-earthers decisively launched the Eastern Crusade. The Eastern Crusade against Goguryeo was essentially a civil war, but it was just a local war, involving only one Goguryeo foreigner, not the entire northern captives. Of course, the purpose of the Chinese people's crusade was not only to meet the needs of foreign defense and foreign strategy, but also to further accelerate the reform process.

Now that the Eastern Crusade has been defeated, the two main objectives of this battlefield have not been achieved, neither to add to the reform process nor to delay the Civil War, on the contrary, the resistance to reform has become greater, and the drumbeat of the Civil War is getting closer and closer.

The process of reform can be slowed down or even forced to go backwards, and it will not have much impact on the national strength of Middle-earth in the short term, let alone affect the fate of Middle-earth, but the Civil War is different, once the Civil War breaks out, it is not a matter of one or two years, and in order to win the war, most of the national strength of Middle-earth must be thrown into the war, which is a bottomless pit, which will not only affect the exhibition of Middle-earth, but also affect the future destiny of Middle-earth.

The severity of the shape can be imagined, and the loss of interests in Middle-earth can be imagined, so no one in the government and the opposition wants to break out the Civil War prematurely, and if you want to delay the explosion of the Civil War, continuing the Eastern Crusade is the most effective and direct way, one is to tell the Northern Capture that our country is strong, and the manpower, material and financial resources are abundant, and it is insignificant for me to fight one or two defeats, and the other is to completely destroy Goguryeo to vent the anger of Middle-earth, to demonstrate the strong force of Middle-earth, you kill me a thousand, I kill you 10,000, you defeat my army, I will destroy your kingdom and your seed. In this way, the results of the Eastern Crusade in the second year will inevitably have a greater amplification effect on the political front, and it will be an unexpected gain.

In the early morning of the 6th day of the eighth month, after repeated discussions and considerations, the Holy Lord and the central core ministers finally decided to continue the Eastern Crusade, and in order to get the support of the government and the opposition to continue the Eastern Crusade, it was necessary to make a certain compromise with the conservative forces in terms of politics, which was also a matter of no choice.

Since it was decided to continue the crusade, the Holy Lord and the Center had to continue to focus all their energy on the war for the next year.

First, after the fiasco of the Eastern Crusade, will the demoralized expeditionary force still be able to implement the "two-step" strategy?

Obviously, the expeditionary force is no longer capable of holding the Yalu River line, but considering the authority of the Holy Lord and the center, it cannot change the order overnight, and even if it has to withdraw to Liaodong in the end, it will have to wait until late autumn before issuing an edict.

In addition, considering that the fierce contradictions with the military had reached an unpredictable appoint with this fiasco, the Holy Lord and the Central were certainly angry, but the military was even more angry. The Holy Lord and the Central Pivot forced the expeditionary force to implement Duan Wenzhen's last policy and attack Pyongyang from a distance, which was actually a "political conspiracy", and it was a risky fight for the political interests of the group, and if the military had followed the military's "two-step" strategy, there would have been no such fiasco, let alone let the 200,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force die in a foreign land, so the real culprit of the fiasco of the Eastern Expedition was the Holy Lord and the center. Of course, the military responsibility for the fiasco of the Eastern Crusade will definitely not be borne by the Holy Lord and the center, and the military only needs to knock out their teeth and swallow blood, pinch their noses and admit it. In this case, if the Holy Lord and the Central Authority continue to be involved in the military and continue to point fingers at the military, the result is really unimaginable, and it is estimated that there will be chaos if they are in a hurry

Secondly, the Second Eastern Crusade not only required a lot of material and financial resources, but also an army, but the First Eastern Crusade had already transferred all the troops that could be mobilized to the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, and the number of government soldiers was limited, and if you want to make up for these 200,000 government soldiers, it will take at least one generation. Now what? Where to find the source of soldiers?

There is only one way, to revise the military system, temporarily increase the conscription system on the basis of the government military system, and use the conscription system as a supplement to the government military system. The conscription system, that is, recruiting people as soldiers, because they are not professional soldiers, so they will go home after the war, and disbanded after the Eastern Crusade, which can just solve the problem of insufficient troops in the current Eastern Crusade, and at the same time will not affect the interests of the Twelve Guards, which can be described as a great joy.

Is it really a joy for all? Definitely not. Civilians are unwilling, and the loss of benefits is too great.

In this era, there are government soldiers, there are professional soldiers, and there is a contract between the court and professional soldiers, you have fought for me for generations, and I have kept you food and clothing for generations. Civilians had the duty to defend their homes and the country, but they were not obliged to serve as soldiers, and civilians paid taxes and conscription to the kingdom, on the one hand, because they rented the kingdom's land, and on the other hand, they paid protection money to the kingdom, and the kingdom had the responsibility to protect their safety.

If the imperial court changed the military system, added the conscription system, and recruited the people as soldiers, it would be tantamount to unilaterally tearing up the contract between the two sides and stipulating that the commoners must bear the obligation to serve as soldiers for the kingdom, which actually harmed the interests of the commoners. What benefits do civilians get from this? There is no direct benefit except for the so-called defense of the homeland, on the contrary, if you are unlucky, a life is given away.

There is also a loss of interests is the aristocratic rich. The aristocracy and tycoons are the core force of the local township clan, and the members of the township clan are mostly commoners who are vassals of them. Of course, it is necessary to recruit young people to serve as soldiers, and local young people are basically the main members of the local township regiments, and the result is very obvious, recruiting the people as soldiers is actually sweeping away the strength of the local township regiments and clans.

In the military system of this dynasty, although the local township regiments and clans were controlled by the Wei government, they were neither considered local armies nor reserves, and could only be reluctantly subordinated to the militia organization. The local armed forces must be strictly controlled, otherwise once they become large, they will inevitably endanger local stability.

In the past, due to the lack of local rebellion forces, the Eastern Capital had no choice but to allow local governors such as Zhang Xutuo of Qi County to recruit people as soldiers and form local armies, which was actually a modification of the military system, but it was a temporary system, and there was no law, and in a sense, it was also a local act, and because it took into account the local interests, it was beneficial to the local nobles and rich people, and it was to fight for their own interests, so it was supported.

Now that the imperial court has promulgated it to the world in the form of a law and implemented it, the interests will be too great, and it will inevitably intensify the contradictions between the government and the people, and the contradictions between the central and local governments.
