Yanguo Dragon City.

At this moment, Xun Ji and his party were warmly entertained by Murong Hao, the king of Yan. Murong Hao set up a banquet in the palace, invited the ministers to accompany him, and between the staggered scenes, laughter and laughter, singing and dancing, a peaceful scene.

It seemed that he was almost drunk, Murong Hao suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "Xunzi is a great talent, and he has the ability to govern the country and secure the country, why don't you stay in my Yan Kingdom and show your ambitions?" ”

Hearing this, Xun Ji's heart chuckled, and then he got up and said, "Thank you for your love." However, Xun Ji was born in the Central Plains, not accustomed to the climate of the north, the Yan land is cold, the north wind is cold, Xun Ji occasionally feels the wind cold, so I can't settle in Longcheng, under the control of the king. ”

"That's not a reason for you to excuse yourself." Murong Hao waved his hand.

Xun Ji said again: "Please forgive the king." The king of Wei has the grace of knowing Xunji, and Xun Ji has nothing to repay, and he can't do this thing to change his course! ”

"Hey! King Wei can have the assistance of such a talent as Xunzi, it is really his luck, and it is also a loss for the widow. Murong Hao seemed to be very sorry.

At this time, Murong Ke, who was on the side, spoke up: "Father, as the so-called gentleman does not win people's love. Since Xunzi insisted on serving under the command of King Wei, why did he force it? ”

Xun Ji suddenly remembered the story of Su Wu's shepherding.

In that year, Su Wu was ordered to send the Xiongnu with Zhonglang and was detained. The Xiongnu nobles repeatedly threatened and lured them to surrender; Later, he moved him to the North Sea (present-day Lake Baikal) to shepherd sheep, and threatened to release him only if the ram had children.

Su Wu went through hardships and stayed in the Xiongnu for 19 years and remained unyielding. It was not until the sixth year of the first century (81 BC) that he was released and returned to Han.

Murong Hao seemed to be a little unwilling: "Xunzi, the widow knows that you have the talent to help the world, as long as you are willing to stay in the Yan Kingdom, the widow will treat him as Situ." ”

"The king favors him, Xun Ji is terrified!"

Xun Ji lowered his head and said, "But please forgive me for not accepting it." As the so-called loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, King Wei treats me well, and I must not turn my back on him and turn to the command of King Yan. ”

Just kidding, being a school scrivener in Yecheng is much better than being a Laoshizi Situ in Longcheng!

Murong Hao sighed and said, "Since this is the case, the widow will not force it." Xunzi, the widow has a daughter under his knees, named Yanran, who has always admired the king of Wei, and the gentleman has the beauty of an adult. The widow heard that King Wei is also a temperamental, so he wants to marry Yanran to him, I don't know what you think? ”

"That's very good. The king can marry my family King Wei, which can be said to be the good of Qin and Jin, and it is very good. ”

In order to advance the army first, Shi Min immediately led an elite division of 100,000 people to the battle.

However, before that, Shi Min still has to make some preparations before the expedition. Of course, this preparation work was not done before the war to raise materials and deploy personnel.

After Shi Min's elite army streamlined the administration, the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army was further improved, and the efficiency of all aspects was also improved.

Shi Min found his confidants Cui Hao and Qin Mu and sat opposite each other in the study to discuss state affairs.

"The widow will march south, and the affairs of the court and China will be entrusted to the two of you. Before leaving, the widow still has some things to explain. ”

Shi Min said: "The matter of Dingdu Liang will not be changed. Regarding the construction of Daliang City and the construction of the Wei Palace, they were all handed over to Xie Fei and Shi Tanyi, but the scale should not be too large, which would inevitably cost the people and money. Daliang City only needs to be planned, divided into the inner city and the outer city, the inner city is the old city, and the outer city is to expand the scale. As for the Wei Palace, try to build it as large as possible, but the palace only has 2,000 seats, and Cui Hao is responsible for the financial expenditure and personnel deployment. ”

"No."

"Second, as for those palace maids who were released out, 3,000 people with excellent posture were selected to fill the palace of the Wei king, and the rest were still released and returned home, or married to unmarried soldiers." ァ新ヤ(8)1 Chinese 網ωωω.χ8.1zщ.còм

"No."

"Third, the southern expedition of the widows will cause small chaos in the country. For example, the remnants of the Shi clan, as well as some of the rebellious parties that do not accept the widows, during the period when the widows are not there, the two of you have the right to transfer troops and send generals. Qin Mu, the widow gave you a Shang Fang sword, and you have the right to cut first and then play, no matter who you are, as long as you rebel, or have a rebellious heart, you can kill them according to this sword. ”

"What if it's the Emperor?"

"Kill the same."

"Minister, I see."

"Fourth, I also want to contact the Chengguo of Bashu, and on the occasion of the great battle between the two armies of Zhao and Jin, I asked Li Shi to send a large army to conquer Liangzhou of the Jin State, so as to reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield of our Zhao army. Later, the widow will repair a book. ”

"Fifth, on the logistics of the Southern Expedition. There are many water networks in the south of the Yangtze River, lakes and rivers are dotted, and the widows want to conquer the Jin Kingdom, and it is not enough to make the trip without a strong water army. So during this time, Yuan Liang, you are in charge of logistics, and at the same time build warships and train more sailors. ”

"The battle of the Southern Expedition still needs 100,000 people, and these people can't be the same as labor, because Zhao's current national policy is to pay lightly. Therefore, these people were given money and food and properly resettled. ”

"No!" Cui Hao sang again.

In the era of cold weapons, the country was divided into war and auxiliary from the written records of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the composition of the armies of the Spring and Autumn States was divided into: the upper army, the middle army, and the lower army, which was the origin of the earliest "three armies".

The Chinese army is responsible for guarding and defending the army, and the army is an army of the nature of labor and engaged in combat tasks of engineering, transportation, and logistics.

For example, in the army of the Han Dynasty, there were clear regulations that soldiers who enlisted for one year could only undertake urban and rural garrison and labor tasks, and soldiers who enlisted for two years could officially undertake combat missions, which was the difference between soldiers and auxiliaries.

It's not that auxiliaries don't participate in direct combat.

In the case of the nearest army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, its soldiers refer to: the soldiers designated by the guard, according to the military system, every 100 households, there must be 23 soldiers, that is to say, these 23 people are the number of soldiers in this 100 households, and these 23 people can enjoy enjoyment, that is, the fixed military salary of the state, the iron armor, weapons and war materials issued by the state, and other people do not have this treatment, but for these 23 people to carry out labor, production and service.

However, the auxiliary soldiers in the army do not mean that they do not participate in the battle, and the Ming army generally directly requires the soldiers to directly participate in the front-line hand-to-hand combat, so it is certain that all the cavalry are soldiers, and a part of the infantry is also soldiers, but most of them are auxiliary soldiers.

In the establishment of the Ming army, musketeers, archers, and artillery operators were all auxiliaries, because these people did not need to be directly involved in hand-to-hand combat, while sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and broadsword soldiers were all soldiers, because these personnel were directly involved in hand-to-hand combat.

Soldiers are soldiers registered in the state, while auxiliaries are men from military households who are recruited from the guard during wartime. The minfu is the labor temporarily requisitioned by the state, the labor borne by the civilians, and the forces that serve the army, such as transporting materials or manufacturing tools, are not at the disposal of the army, but are controlled by local civilian officials.

Shen Kuo said that an army of 70,000 people needs 300,000 people and logistics, but it is not an exaggeration.

During the ancient Warring States period, a decisive battle of one million people was mobilized, but in the Ming Dynasty, 100,000 troops were already a strategic decisive battle, which was due to the different calibers of statistics.

In fact, in the Battle of Changping, among the 400,000 people in Zhao State, only 100,000 were soldiers, and the others were people, totaling 400,000. The same is true of the state of Qin.

Song's expedition to Vietnam, 100,000 troops, 200,000 people transported grain. Extreme transportation methods were used - rice was carried by buffaloes, and after being transported to the battlefield, the buffaloes were slaughtered and used as food. In this way, the extreme data of 1:2 is reached, and it is normal for the ratio of soldiers to transporters to be 1:3 or 1:4 when transporting by rickshaw.

Counting the previous strategic decisive battles, the limit is 100,000 soldiers and 40.5 million logistics.

For example, the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Li Shimin, the Battle of Wang Shichong, the Battle of Dou Jiande, and the Battle of Salhu.

In particular, the three expeditions to Goryeo were carried out, with millions of soldiers and 5 million grain carriers. Because it is a waterway transportation of the Grand Canal, but the ratio of soldiers to logistics is the same.

And the Zhao army's southern expedition often had 100,000 soldiers, and the people needed were at least 100,000, with a ratio of one to one.
