The Duke of Qin personally held the robe of Gongsun Ying and sent it to the banquet before returning to his own banquet. After the banquet, Qin Gong sincerely asked: "Sir! The ceremony is waived. Or do you ask the gentleman to teach the widow how to make up for farming? ”

Gongsun Ying didn't answer Duke Qin's question, but just took out a slip and handed it to the Jing Jian on the side. Jing Jian immediately took this sleepy Jane and sent it to Qin Gong's case. Qin Gongzhan saw that it was the three big characters of "Reclamation Order", and then buried his head in it. After a long time, Gong Qin finished reading it. After reading it, Gong Qin frowned and asked, "Sir!" Do you really want to free the slaves at this time? ”

Gongsun Ying nodded affirmatively and returned: "Qin's population is less than half of Wei's, and the insufficient number of Qianshou is Qin's biggest weakness. If you don't make good use of the hundreds of thousands of slaves and the number of people close to Qianshou, it will be difficult to support Qin's increasingly powerful number needs! Lord! If you don't concentrate the power and strength of the government, you can't gather the power of the whole Qin to compete with Wei, and at that time, even if you capture Hexi, you can't hold it, and the Son of Heaven will be beaten back to its original shape by Wei and other countries.

Lord! Although this "Reclamation Order" is simple, it contains three major events, such as using slaves, gathering the power of the whole Qin for the use of the government, and attracting immigrants for the use of Qin. Lord! Recovering Hexi and the Son of Heaven is only the first step to strengthen Qin. Doesn't the lord want the strong Qin established by the lord to dominate the world and sweep away the ** and be shocked for generations? ”

Qin Gong saw that it seemed that another door had opened. This gate leads to a glorious road that surpasses the great cause of Mu Gong. He put down the bamboo slip with trembling hands and stammered: "Widow, widow, widow, understand." Qin is strong, and the government is strong first. Only when the government is strong and the nobility is weak, can Qin be strong forever. The division of the three families is the evil result of the weak government and the strong aristocracy. The widow will not let the three families repeat themselves in Qin. This "Grass Reclamation Order" will be promulgated immediately and announced to the world! ”

Gongsun Ying didn't say much about the "Reclamation Order", only one sentence "Thank you, lord!" He immediately changed the topic and asked directly: "Lord! Excuse me, my third question! How does the lord want to organize the expanded 150,000 army? ”

As soon as Duke Qin heard Zuo Shu ask about the bank, he returned confidently: "The 50,000 troops of the nobles, according to the wartime system, are composed of nobles and domestic slaves, the generals and armaments are provided by themselves, and the government only provides food. However, the widow was reminded by Mr. that this army could only be a public army and not a noble army; Therefore, they were recruited only according to the wartime system, and after conscription, the government organized and provided armaments, and sent generals and military officials. When the required armament is insufficient, the government will borrow it first and return it later. All nobles are selected to serve in the army according to their ability, and there are mandatory rules: they are not allowed to lead their own domestic slaves and family army. What does the gentleman think? ”

Gongsun Ying nodded in approval and said, "The lord is very scheming!" It is made up according to the law of the Lord. Excuse me! What kind of army did the lord organize these five armies into? ”

Qin Gong smiled slightly: "The widow thinks about it: the aristocratic army has always been the main force of the Qin army. In peacetime, it was raised by the nobles, cultivated the fields, trained twice a year, conscripted into an army during the war, and disbanded after the war, returned to the fiefdom farm, and was compensated by the spoils of war. And to recover Hexi, it is necessary to surpass the strength of the Wei army. The Wei army had 1,000 chariots in Hexi, including 300 heavy leather chariots and 700 light chariots. Therefore, the widow calculated that these five armies were all organized into chariot armies, each army was equipped with 100 leather chariots, 100 horses with spare horses, 500 horses, one chariot driver, two sergeants, 10 heavily armored samurai, and 1,300 people for one division. Each army was equipped with two hundred light chariots, and three hundred horses with spare horses; There was one driver for each car, one sergeant, and eight lightly armored samurai, totaling 2,000 people for a division. In addition, there was a division and four brigades of heavy armored samurai, with 2,000 men; There were three divisions of lightly armored samurai, twelve brigades, and a total of 6,000 men. The total number of the five armies was: 500 leather chariots, 1,000 light chariots, 10,000 heavy-armored samurai, 30,000 lightly-armored samurai, with a total number of 56,500 people, plus generals, division commanders, brigade commanders, guards, civilians, and baggage, a total of 70,000 people. The shortage of 20,000 will be drawn from the existing army. The shortage of 20,000 in the war army will be supplemented by the newly recruited Qianshou. In this way, the combat power of the old army and the new aristocratic army will not be weakened. The newly recruited 100,000 Qianshou and the reclamation army will form five armies. Each corps' brigade commander and above are equipped with leather vehicles to increase their defensive capabilities and offensive capabilities. Widow calculation: 80 brigades per army, 100 guards per brigade, 10 leather vehicles, including one command vehicle, 130 people. There are four division commanders in each army, 300 guards in each division, 25 leather vehicles, including one command vehicle, a total of 325 people. Each army has a commander and a deputy general, and two teams of 500 guards each, each team is equipped with 35 leather vehicles, including one command vehicle, totaling 455 people. Then one army will have 250 times of leather carts, and five armies will have 1,250 times, which is enough to attack fortified positions. Each corps was organized into one division of heavy samurai and three division of light samurai, each with four brigades and 2,000 men. All the generals and officers were drawn from the five veteran armies. In this way, with the addition of the original 50,000 troops, it is enough to resist the strong Wei. ”

After listening to this, Gongsun Ying silently calculated in his heart, what did the lord come up with at a moment? It is clear that the military has planned for the Lord a long time ago. Since it was planned by the lord and the military for a long time, how could Gongsun Martingale disagree. After agreeing, he said: "My lord! These 100,000 and 50,000 armies, plus the equipment of the original 50,000 war troops, and the rest are easy to say, but the leather car is very expensive! According to this policy: 250 times for each army, 3,750 times for 15 armies, 1,750 times for 5 armies, 1,000 times for 5 armies, that is, 4,750 times, plus special leather cars for reserve and command, it is 5,000 times! The cost of each car is calculated as a minimum of 20 gold, which is 100,000 gold. With the addition of 10,000 horses, it will cost 130,000 gold. The entire 200,000 army is equipped with no less than 8 million gold. The annual cost of maintaining and maintaining 200,000 people is at least 2.4 million gold, two plus one, and more than 10 million gold is needed for military expenditure in these two years, and although Qin is very rich, it is estimated that there will be only 3 million gold left this year, and only 4 million gold next year, excluding the necessary civil affairs expenditures, and only 4 million gold in two years. Has this lord thought about it? ”

Gong Qin was asked by Gongsun Ying, and he ended his sentence again. He patronized and discussed with the military how to expand the army, and he really didn't calculate how much money it would need. Today, he was counted by Gongsun Martingale for a dime, that is, more than 10 million, and he was really shocked! It seems that the military's public office is really not just a matter of thinking about it, and it really has to be supported by strength.
