Chapter 593: Lichu
The four military towns of Fengsa, Taiyuan, Huayin, and Lantian have 25,000 to 20,000 troops in each town.
That's about 100,000 troops scattered.
Yang Zheng's Qin State inherited the old system of Cao Wei, and adopted the strategy of the Chinese army cooperating with the local government soldiers.
Chang'an has 70,000 elite foot cavalry, and the local area adds up to about 100,000 government soldiers.
Each county in the interior has a fold and a government with 1,500 soldiers, who are responsible for guarding the place.
Such as Hequ, Xiping, Jincheng, Tianshui, Longxi, Nan'an, Anding, Fufeng, etc., the same is true of the seven counties of Bajun, Guanghan, Shujun, Qianwei, Yueshan, and Qike in Shu, and Nanzhong is basically in a state of bondage, and the government only controls some elite areas, garrisons heavy troops, governs the local area with Haoqiang, and implements sinicization, and the Qin State can reduce its investment in these areas.
The current Qin State also does not have the ability and energy to invest in these areas, and the population is needed everywhere, so these areas can only be postponed.
And some important border areas, such as Luntai, Gaochang, Dunhuang, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Wuwei, Shuofang, Beidi, Jiuyuan, etc., each place has three to four Zhichong Prefectures to deter the grassland and deter the interior.
Finally, there are strategic places to plant, such as Taiyuan, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Fengsa, Jingzhao, Hanzhong, and Yong'an, and they are gathered in Chongfu.
The 100,000 or so government soldiers are obviously not enough.
The future is a battle between the east and the west, and it is not surprising that Sima Zhao implemented the land occupation system, gave himself a dose of fierce aphrodisiac, and made an army of four or five hundred thousand.
Therefore, the expansion of the army is necessary.
In Yang Zheng's mind, there are about 200,000 government soldiers, and the Chinese army will also be expanded to 100,000.
Among them, Guanzhong gathered 100,000 government soldiers and 70,000 Chinese troops, in addition to 10,000 Chinese troops in Taiyuan, 10,000 Chinese troops in Shuzhong, and 5,000 Chinese troops in Hanzhong and Guzang.
The estimated population of Qin was around five million.
Five million people feed an army of 300,000, which is not a big burden.
Moreover, the 200,000 government soldiers do not need the support of the center, give them land, do not collect land endowments, and do not levy labor, they support themselves by themselves, and they also bring their own equipment, war horses, grain and grass when they go out to fight......
In other words, the Qin State only needed to raise 100,000 Chinese troops.
That's where the meaning of Tsunda Division lies.
It is similar to using slaves and tuntian to raise an army of 100,000, as well as the taxes to be paid to govern the people and return to be paid, and the commercial taxes of the Hexi Corridor, in addition, the three major pastures of Liangzhou, Hehuang and Hetao are also supporting the 100,000 Chinese army.
Since Yang Zheng and below, the whole country has strictly practiced frugality and curbed the trend of luxury.
The palace of the king of Qin was also rebuilt on the basis of the original Zhengxi General's Mansion, the scale was not large, and the eunuch also directly took the old man Liu Chan......
Qin did not have so many meat eaters and interest groups, and comparatively speaking, the burden on the common people was not as great as that of Jin and Wu.
Yang Zheng can also make the 100,000 Chinese army take the road of elite soldiers.
60,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry troops, 60 percent of leather armor, 30 percent of iron armor, 10 percent of cold forging armor, cavalry strive for one person and three horses, infantry one person and two horses.
A total of 260,000 horses.
The focus of Qin's consumption is not on the soldiers, but on these war horses.
If you want to maintain your strength, you have to prepare them with concentrate.
However, in recent years, Mobei horses have multiplied in the three major pastures, which has reduced a lot of pressure.
Mobei horses are not strong in explosiveness, but they have strong staying power, are cold-resistant, easy to feed, can eat grass, and intensive feeding is better.
Mobei horses already account for forty percent of the army, and the proportion is still increasing.
The explosive Hehuang horse and Liangzhou horse are used as heavy riding and fine riding.
"Taiyuan, Huayin, and Lantian are narrow, not enough to support 10,000 Chinese troops and more than 10,000 government soldiers." Wei Qian thought for a long time and then said.
Yang Zheng's idea is very good, but there are also problems with implementation.
The eight-fold Chongfu is crowded in places like Huayin and Lantian, and it is indeed under great pressure.
12,000 soldiers, that is, 12,000 families, need 2.4 million mu of land, not to mention Huayin and Lantian, even Taiyuan has a lot of pressure.
If the worries of the soldiers are not solved, how can they fight bravely on the front line?
Yang Zheng said: "If the land of the soldiers is insufficient, it can be divided into Dingxiang, Yanmen, and Yunzhong, and if the Huayin field is not enough, it will be divided into Weinan and other places, and if it is not enough, the difference will be made up by Chang'an." ”
The food of the Chinese army must be supplied by Chang'an.
The financial power must be held in the hands, otherwise the Chinese army will not be the Chinese army.
Wei Qian nodded.
In fact, after the population of Shuzhong moved into Guanzhong, these problems are no longer a problem.
"My lord, the princess invites Her Royal Highness to dinner." The voice of a female officer was heard outside the hall.
Before you know it, the day has passed, and night has fallen.
Wei Qian arched his hand and said, "The minister retired." ”
Yang Zheng wanted to stay with him for dinner and continue to discuss, but Xiahou had nothing to do, so he must have a lot of articles, so it was inconvenient for outsiders to be present.
"Someone, escort Boyu back home." After the assassination incident, Yang Zheng was unusually concerned about security.
"King Xie." Wei Qian gave up.
Yang Zheng stretched his waist and returned to the back house.
Xiahou Zhi took Yang Xu to greet him with a lantern, and before he knew it, his sister-in-law Yang Xu was already four years old.
inherited all the advantages of the Xiahou family, and at a young age, he was withered and intelligent.
"Awen!" Far away, Yang Xu gave a gift in a decent way.
Yang Zheng stepped forward quickly and picked him up.
"Xu'er met her husband, so the concubine took the liberty to invite her." Xia Houzhi spoke strangely, a lot more formal, in normal times, there is no less temper of a talented woman, and if she doesn't agree with her, she is a tsundere white eye.
"What do you do when a family says two things?" Yang Zheng said with a smile.
Xia Hou stopped talking and stopped, as if he was smiling but not smiling, and his eyes were obedient.
made Yang Zheng a little uncomfortable.
During this time, he was busy with Juntian, eating and living in the official office, and he did neglect his family.
However, after more than ten years of ups and downs with Xiahou, they have long been familiar with each other.
My heart moved, and I suddenly knew why she came.
The boss Yang Yi has made outstanding achievements in battle and has his own wings in the army.
The second Yang Wu, who is in Shuofang Tuntian, has a good relationship with Yang Huan, Yang Ji and others.
Even the third Yang Hong has a good relationship with Ji Kang, Yanghu and other celebrities.
Xia Houzhi must have felt the pressure.
Cao Wei's power fell, and the battle for the heir was too tragic.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, as well as Cao Zhang.
Even Cao Chong's death back then was unknown.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he deeply felt the threat of his brothers to him, and frantically suppressed the clan, resulting in the withering of the Cao family's talents, except for Cao Chao, no one could come in handy.
had to reuse the external branches of Cao Shuang and Xiahou Xuan......
But Cao Shuang's bullying of the royal family is not under outsiders.
It's better to make sure some things sooner rather than later, so that others don't think about them when they shouldn't.
The name was determined earlier, which was good for the Qin State and the clan.
The same is true for Yang Zheng's assassination this time, if Yang Zheng really has an accident, the Qin State will immediately fall apart.
"I was negligent." Yang Zheng stroked Yang Xu's head.
The little one giggled.
Yang Zheng stared at his eyes and said half-truthfully: "What is Xu'er going to be in the future?" General, prime minister or farmer? ”
Although Xia Houzhi next to him was also smiling, his eyes were extremely nervous.
"It's not good, I want to be the king of Qin like Ah Weng!" The little guy said with a serious face.
Yang Zheng glanced at Xiahou Zhi, this must have been taught by Xiahou Zhi, a four-year-old child, his logical ability will not be so strong, Yang Zheng gave a general, a prime minister and a farmer, and he chose the king of Qin himself.
Shaking his head, he said: "King Qin is not good, it will be very hard, is Xu Er afraid of hard work?" ”
"Don't be afraid! Father is not afraid, and Xu'er is not afraid! "The little face is extremely serious.
The previous sentence may have been taught by Xiahou, but this sentence is by no means.
Yang Zheng laughed, "Okay! ”
Xiahou Zhi suddenly looked happy, "Husband, ......"
In fact, as long as there is no problem with intelligence and character, and ability can be cultivated slowly, Yang Yi, Yang Wu, and Yang Hong have all become talents from the Qingying, which shows that the Qingying is still good.
And the position of the son of the world was originally his.
