The scene laughed at the Goguryeo's Yuangai Suwen, and this Yuangai Suwen was condescending. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info was originally aggressive, but then he was cowardly. Because this contest is impossible, especially if Yuangai Suwen challenges Shi Bufan as a samurai, Shi Bufan has the right to refuse. However, if you challenge as a soldier, it is tantamount to sending war. Since the war was launched, it must be carried out in accordance with the rules of war. There are no rules in war, so it makes sense for Shi Bufan to let more than 20 Qianniuwei besiege him together. In the war, no one will laugh at those who bully the more and the less, and those who laugh at the people who bully the more in the war are just brain-dead, and those who can be here will not be brain-dead, so naturally they will not laugh at the more bullying less in the war.

At this banquet, the Goguryeo people became clowns and left directly, and left in a hurry after the banquet. Silla's crown prince Gindeman and her cousin Kim Seung-man also left. As for Baekje, seeing that his two neighbors are gone, it doesn't make sense to stay. As for the people of the Wa Kingdom, they stayed and planned to continue in-depth exchanges, and some of them planned to purchase more Datang specialties from a long distance to go back, because the distance was too far and it was not easy to come once, so it would definitely not work if they did not desperately purchase and purchase.

In fact, a country's diplomacy is simple and simple, because those official articles on the surface seem to be very simple, and ordinary people seem to see those flowers. But the complicated ones are all under the table, and the tearing between those countries will not be put on the table, and the diplomacy that is recorded in the history books is just a process, and the real secret tearing will not be recorded.

And after this time, the story of Shi Bufan and the Silla crown prince Jindeman was widely spread in Chang'an, which gave many people some talking points after dinner. And the poem "created" by Shi Bufan for Jindeman has also been circulated, and has become a famous article for many couples when they say goodbye temporarily.

However, Shi Bufan still has to continue his duties, and he must do more next.

"Shi Caochang, this is an official document copied by the Ministry of War, saying that the emperor agreed to the annexation of the Khitans, and agreed that part of the Khitans would join our army in the Tang Dynasty. The emperor has agreed, agreeing to let the Khitans join our Tang army, and see that they can attack the Turks together in the future. ”

Shi Bufan looked at this official document and immediately scolded: "Playing the piano indiscriminately, such an important matter, why did you make a decision without asking me, the host and guest." “

"This is a matter of the Ministry of War, not to mention that Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has already asked the emperor, and the emperor has approved it. In fact, we don't need to agree to this, this is just a copy, not a request. “

Shi Bufan snorted coldly and said: "Idiot, let Hu people join our army, this is the way to die." The emperor has not officially decreed, has it been reviewed by the Ministry of Menxia? ”

"Not yet, but it should be soon!"

Shi Bufan immediately grabbed the official document and went directly to the harem, this matter is really very important. It must be recovered before the review process is completed in the lower part of the province, otherwise Datang will be in trouble in the future. Shi Bufan hurriedly used the fish talisman given by Li Shimin to enter and leave the harem, and hurriedly went to find Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, did you give this official document?" Shi Bufan hurriedly asked.

Li Shimin picked up the official document and asked, "Isn't it just to allow the Khitans to join my Tang army?" Is there a problem? ”

"Your Majesty, it's a big problem, it's a big problem. Why should you approve? Shi Bufan asked.

"Some people say that if you let foreigners join my Datang army, then let the foreigners open up their territory, and the people of my Datang can cultivate and recuperate. What's more, someone has calculated an account and directly recruited a Hu cavalry, which can be used directly for a small amount of money, and even brings their own war horses. However, my Datang wants to train a cavalryman by himself, on the contrary, he has to delay the harvest of the people, and even the people have to prepare their own war horses, and the training cost is less. So recruiting Hu people to fight for us is to save money. Although my Datang is getting better and better, there are more places to spend money, so it is natural to save some! What's more, didn't you also say that it's better to buy than to rent? Li Shimin said.

Shi Bufan couldn't help but scold directly, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the pig's head account, dare to save this kind of cost?" Yes, I am advocating cost savings, but some costs not only cannot be saved, but must be spent more vigorously. The army is the weapon of the country, how can we expect foreign tribes to be the main force of the army? ”

"Your Majesty, do you know that you seem to be saving costs by doing this. However, the military system of my Tang Dynasty is the government military system, which is a farmer on weekdays, a soldier in wartime, and a combination of soldiers and farmers. You can do this so that people can produce with peace of mind, and it will cost less. But what about safety? Your Majesty, do you know? Once the army is at peace for too long, and if it does not experience war for several years, it will seriously weaken its combat effectiveness. ”

"Once our government soldiers have been comfortable for decades and have not fought for decades, then they will definitely forget the ability to fight, and once the time comes, they will be useless."

Li Shimin hurriedly asked: "Impossible, my Datang will conduct autumn hunting every year, and even train during the slack time, it is impossible to slack off." ”

Shi Bufan simply made it clear and said, "Your Majesty, I don't believe you don't even understand the rules of officialdom that you don't even deceive." It's one thing to keep up with the top, but it's another thing to do below, and it's just too much. If you let the government soldiers train, I'm afraid that those local armies will really strictly enforce it by then? ”

"Even, the government soldiers are not happy to train, because they also have to farm, and even use the winter farming time to do other things to get more benefits."

"Actually, what's so good about my Datang's military training? Not only do they have to bring their own food, but they also have to pay for the war. If you take the slack time to do other things, not only will you not have a net expenditure, but you will have some income. At that time, the generals of the local Zhichong Prefecture would understand, maybe they themselves were the foremen! ”

Shi Bufan, can you not know what virtue is the disadvantage of the integration of soldiers and peasants? The Ming Dynasty's guards were systematic, and the last armies had long since decayed. In fact, the government military system is similar to the guard system, and it is even rooted in the same economic model. Farming on weekdays, training during slack hours, and going out on battle during battles.

The benefit of this is to save the country's expenses and save the army costs for the country. But is it really as good as it seems? Because the guard system and the government military system have a common feature, that is, the state gives soldiers farmland, integrates them into military households, and then farms on weekdays and trains in leisure time. However, once war breaks out, you have to provide your own military weapons and food and grass, and the state only gives you land and exempts you from taxes.

But here's the problem, once the training is due, the soldiers have to bring their own food, grass and ordnance, and even in the process of training, it is equivalent to a net loss. However, once you use this slack time to do something else, it will not only not be a net loss, but a net income. Don't expect those ancient armies to be loyal, how highly conscious. Your uncle, after more than a thousand years of military training, you will often be lazy, let alone this year!

From the time of Tang Gaozong, the entry of government soldiers was diverted for other purposes. Even many government soldiers were often asked to be used as slaves by those high-ranking officials and nobles, and government soldiers gradually became synonymous with slaves. The regular army of a country is treated as slaves. Even on weekdays, the army did not do much training, and the officers began to become contract foremen, allowing soldiers to do all kinds of things to make money.

"Your Majesty, you are making my country have no soldiers like this! Your ability to add foreigners to the army will further accelerate the decay of our soldiers. Once this foreigner joins the army, from our high-level to low-level soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, especially the soldiers under the government military system, they will rely on those foreigners. And the reason given is still so high-sounding, that is, self-training is more expensive, far less than direct employment. ”

"Your Majesty, although I once said that in business, it is better to buy than to rent. However, this army's national defense is a sharp weapon of the country, so how can it be 'better to buy than to rent'? Even, in terms of the military, we can't 'buy rather than rent,' and we can't even ask for the idea of buying, we have to 'build' ourselves. It depends on the situation that it is better to buy than to rent, and not everything can be done in this way. ”

Shi Bufan really wanted to hammer to death the guy who said that "it is better to buy than to rent" in the army, and when this kind of person came, he didn't understand what he meant, and he actually "bought rather than rented" in the army, this is a matter of destroying the country and destroying the species.

Shi Bufan saw that many people on the Internet sprayed the Song Dynasty, and many people thought that China's martial spirit was lost in the Song Dynasty, but they felt very appreciative of the martial spirit of the Tang Dynasty. But these guys completely ignored, completely ignored that the Song Dynasty was established after the Tang Dynasty, and it was a direct successor to the various systems of the Tang Dynasty as the foundation.

In fact, as early as the Tang Dynasty, China's martial spirit had begun to be lost, when the country's regular army was regarded as slaves by the aristocracy, and when a country's regular army was casually pulled to be all kinds of slaves, then how would the people of this country view the soldiers? After Tang Gaozong, the people of the Tang Dynasty were ashamed to become government soldiers.

The government soldiers should have and the benefits, such as land, have also been embezzled by various bureaucrats and gentry in large quantities, and a large number of annexations. The interests of the military could not be guaranteed, and as early as the Tang Gaozong period after Li Shimin, various deserters began to appear. Because of the annexation of land, a large number of government soldiers fled.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty had to abandon the government military system and gradually began the reform of the conscription system. But at this time, Datang once again made a bad move, recruiting a large number of Hu people to join the army. And the reason given is that the cost of recruiting Hu people is low, and the cost of self-training is high.

"Your Majesty, if you do this, you are asking for trouble! Once our Datang is dependent on these Hu people, what do you say will happen to my Datang? At that time, once the safety of my Datang is pinned on the Hu people, even the people think that they can recruit the Hu people to join the army, and they can farm with peace of mind. Then I took out a small part of the harvest to ensure safety, so this is the way to die! ”

"This kind of practice is simply self-defeating. Once one day, these Hu people are not satisfied with those relatively meager incomes, and when they see that our people in the Tang Dynasty have begun to lose their martial spirit, and they have lost the land wealth that they pick up swords and guns to protect us, what will happen to them? ”

"They may extort even more, they are no longer satisfied with those meager incomes, they want more. At that time, we will suddenly find that we have long been unable to pick up knives and guns, and we will not be able to curb the greed of these Hu people. What do we do then? Meet these Hu people? We may be satisfied, but are they completely satisfied? Human greed is endless, and once we are satisfied, they will continue to gain an inch until the day when we cannot be completely satisfied. ”

"Your Majesty, what should we do that day? At that time, could we still afford to protect our own lives and property with knives and guns? ”

"So Your Majesty, I think there are some costs that can be saved, and it can even be 'better to buy than to rent'. However, when it comes to national security, the society and society, and the safety of the lives and property of hundreds of millions of our people, how can we 'buy it better than rent.' ”

"The army is such an important weapon of the country, once we give up making our own in order to save costs, then we will inevitably die in the end. Once the problem is gone, what do we do? At that time, we could no longer contain it, so we absolutely could not recruit Hu people casually in order to save costs in the army. ”

"Once, one day, the day when we find out that our great country has no soldiers, it will be the day when our Datang Dynasty and even our entire China will be wiped out again."

When Li Shimin heard Shi Bufan's stern refusal, he immediately felt that the situation was serious, especially since the whole country relied on those Hu people to protect themselves, which was too terrifying.

"Immediately let the officials of the three provinces come over, hurry up, and recover this matter of allowing the Khitans to join the army."

The high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty came over again, and this time Li Shimin held a temporary internal court here to discuss this matter. The Inner Dynasty is the official of the fifth rank or above in the imperial court, and there are also some officials in special positions, such as the imperial history or officials below the fifth rank in special posts.

If the early dynasty on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month is a retreat, and the ceremonial nature is far greater than the actual nature, but this inner dynasty is obviously more pragmatic. This time, Shi Bufan refused to recruit Hu people to join the Tang army, which Shi Bufan must strictly prevent. As Shi Bufan said, this kind of recruitment of Hu people into the army is the way to death, and some costs cannot be saved.
