In the final analysis, this is the system of using soldiers to cultivate wasteland.

It was a system set up by Cao Cao in order to increase production.

The guard system is similar to the "government soldier system", which is for the peasants who cultivate the land in peacetime, train in the spare time, and serve in the army to fight in wartime. Although these two military systems are similar, their combat effectiveness is different.

The reason for the different maintenance time of combat effectiveness is mainly because of the different times, and most of the Tuntian soldiers were set up because Cao Wei wanted to increase income and solve the livelihood of soldiers, so when Cao Wei stabilized, this military system had no meaning to exist.

The guards are different, they are the most important military system of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's external wars and internal stability maintenance rely on the guards, from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, they all rely on the guards.

Moreover, the guards have a series of regulations, and the main task is not to develop production like the Tuntian soldiers, so the strength of the two is very different.

However, even if the original intentions of the establishment of the two military systems were good, with the stabilization of the situation and the emergence of local powers, the land of the Tuntian soldiers was invaded, and the Tuntian soldiers became extinct in name, while the tuntian of the guards were mostly swallowed up by the officers, and the sergeants went bankrupt and fled, leaving the official offices in vain, and the combat effectiveness was also greatly reduced.

In the final analysis, the encroachment of the landlord class on land was not properly controlled.

Ran Min felt that Wei Yan's reasoning was reasonable, and the top priority was not to build any Grand Canal, but to let these more than 300,000 soldiers go to Tuntian and reclaim the barren frontier, which could also create a lot of income for Wei!

After solving the matter of the prisoners of war, Cui Hao came out again and said: "Your Majesty, in this battle, we have captured a lot of Jin army generals, I don't know what you plan to do with them?" ”

"There are many generals in Jin, if the impact of killing is not good, I am afraid that the heart of the corporal will be cold. In this way, for those who can be appeased, they can hold official positions in the army or in the locality, as appropriate, and for those who cannot be appeased, they will be rewarded with gold, silver and jade silk, and given a mansion to live in Daliang, but there is one point, that is, they are not allowed to go out of Daliang City. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

For Xie An, Xie San, Sun Sheng and others, Ran Min had already had the intention to solicit them, but they didn't cooperate much, but it didn't matter, the ideological work was in place, and I believe that everything would not be a problem.

As the so-called sincerity, the golden stone is open!

Cui Hao retreated, and the great Sima Li Nong came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is also the matter of fighting against Jin and recovering the lost territory. The chasm, Jiyang, Yangwu three battles, our army won three battles and three victories, defeated the Jin army, the minister asked to send a partial division to recover the lost land of Jianghuai and Xiangfan, and raise a large army to the south, destroy the Jin in a battle, and unify the country! ”

"Is it really that easy to dominate the country?" Ran Min said quietly.

At this time, Cui Hao immediately jumped out and said, "Don't you, Your Majesty!" The minister thought that it was okay to recover the lost territory, but he couldn't cross the Yangtze River with a large army and continue to go south to destroy the Jin! After years of war, the soldiers have long been exhausted, the food is in short supply, the soldiers are homesick, I am afraid that they have no will to fight, and the territory of the Jin Kingdom is so vast, and there are so many Jin people! ”

"The Jin State has been based in the south for decades, and has always regarded itself as orthodox, winning the hearts of the people and the support of the Jiangnan scholars. At present, they have suffered a big defeat, but there are no soldiers to fight, but with the current national strength of our Wei State, it is absolutely impossible to take all the south of the Yangtze River, destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and rule the vast Jin land south of the Yangtze River! At that time, countless Jin people, under the instigation of careerists, will surely rise up to resist. ”

"Your Majesty has read through the subset of scriptures and history, and you should know the allusion that the Wu army captured the Chu capital Ying in the Spring and Autumn Period, but failed to completely destroy Chu. The pinnacle of Sun Wu's life was the battle to destroy Chu, running thousands of miles, and destroying Ying in five battles! But why did even the capital of the country fall, the main army was defeated, and the state of Chu could still be broken and stand? ”

In this regard, including Ran Min, some people who have read poetry and books are very clear.

Why did the state of Wu, which had great strength and the soldier saint Sun Wu, not destroy the state of Chu in the end, and was driven out of the state of Chu by the Chu army to recover the lost territory?

First of all, Wu Jun made a serious strategic mistake. After the Wu army defeated Yingdu, Sun Wu once persuaded the king of Wu to say that the state of Chu was rich in land and had a large population, and it was not something that the rising state of Wu could annex in one bite, and that a Chu clan should be set up as a puppet as soon as possible, so that this puppet regime would cede a large piece of land to the state of Wu, and then slowly annex the state of Chu.

However, Wu Wang Lu and Wu Jun were immersed in the joy of victory, and they could not listen to Sun Wu's advice at all.

According to historical records, "the Wu army was in the palace of the king of Chu with respect and humility", which deepened the hatred of the Chu people against Wu.

After the Wu army occupied Yingdu, the Chu army fled when they heard the news, and the self-confident Wu Wang Lu did not take advantage of the victory to attack with all his strength, but only sent a partial army to pursue and kill the king of Chu Zhao, and the main force stayed around Yingdu, which gave the Chu army a chance to breathe.

After the loss of the capital of Chu, King Zhao of Chu fled to Suiguo, gathered troops from all over the country, and prepared to counterattack the Wu army.

The son of Chu, Shen (i.e., Zixi), also incorporated the remnants of the Chu army, which had been defeated after the Battle of Baiju, against the Wu army.

Secondly, it was the Qin State that was involved in the war. After the Wu army broke through the Yingdu, Shen Baoxu, the doctor of the Chu State, fled.

Shen Baoxu thought about it, thinking that it was impossible for Chu to deal with Wu independently, and he had to go to other countries to bring rescue troops, and only Qin could save Chu. Shen Baoxu came to Qin State in the starry night, and in the face of Qin Aigong's indifference, he knelt and cried for seven nights.

In the end, Qin Aigong was moved, and at the same time, out of consideration of his own interests, he decided to send troops to aid Chu, and sent the generals Zipu and Zihu to lead 500 chariots to aid Chu.

After the Qin army entered Chu, it joined forces with the resistance of Chu, and the fleeing army of Chu saw that Qin's reinforcements were coming, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the Qin-Chu coalition army first defeated the army of Wu Wanglu's younger brother Fu Yu in Yidi, and then destroyed Wu's ally Tang State, so that Wu's army suffered a blow to the head.

The husband who suffered the defeat moved his mind crookedly, thinking that he was a great hero in the attack on the Chu State, so that he could not be under his brother Lu, and the position of the king was occupied by a capable person, since he Lu could take the throne from the hands of the king of Wu, why couldn't he follow suit?

The husband who was in a daze took a risk, sneaked back to China, and took advantage of the opportunity that Lu and the important ministers of Wu were in Chu State, and actually established himself as the king of Wu.

He Lu didn't expect that Fu Ji would make this at this critical moment, and did not hesitate to entrust the war of Chu to Wu Zixu, Sun Wu, Bo Yao and others, and led some of his elite soldiers back to Wu State, but the result was like a bamboo, and the Fu Ji fled to the sworn enemy Chu State in embarrassment and surrendered to King Chu Zhao.

At this time, there was news that Wu's old neighbor Yue Guo was about to make a sneak attack, so the Wu army gave up holding on to Yingcheng, and Wu Zixu and Sun Wu led the army back to China.

All in all, Wu was not able to destroy Chu in the end, and He Lu did not listen to Sun Wu's correct advice, was arrogant and overconfident, and did not take advantage of the victory to attack with all his might.

and the direct relationship between Qin's dispatch of troops to aid Chu, coupled with Fu's unexpected rebellion, and Yue's sneak attack, as well as the corruption of military discipline of the Wu army and the determination of the Chu State to resist, such a complicated situation, even if there is Sun Wu's Wu State, it cannot continue to fight forcibly, and can only choose to withdraw the army.

The battle of Wu to conquer Chu was one of the most important wars in the late Spring and Autumn period, although Wu finally failed to destroy Chu, it was already a great achievement, and Wu Wang Lu also became one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period.

It has been less than eighty years since the rise of the state of Wu with the support of the Jin state, and it is not a miracle that it was able to defeat the old overlord Chu state in one fell swoop and establish the status of the hegemon of the southeast.

Xu Ji disagreed with Shang Shuling Cui Hao's law, and said: "Your Majesty, what Cui Lingjun said is certainly reasonable, but today's Wei is not the Wu of the past, and today's Jin is not the Chu of the past!" The main force of the Jin State was wiped out, there were no soldiers to fight in the country, and it was in a precarious situation at home and abroad. As the saying goes, if you don't take it, you will be blamed! Your Majesty, please think again! ”

At this time, Li Nong also said in agreement: "Your Majesty, what Lord Xu said is extremely true. For the Wu army to run thousands of miles and enter the five battles, the minister also knows! The destruction of Chu by King Wu was actually the destruction of Yingdu by the coalition forces and the occupation of it for a short time, but they only defeated Chu and occupied the capital, but the entire territory of Chu was not fully occupied. ”

"Because the Sheji of the Chu State fell and the King of Chu Zhao fled, the people of the time called it 'Breaking Chu'. However, Shen Baoxu begged Qin Ting for thousands of miles, summoned Qin soldiers, and combined with the combined efforts of the remnants of the Chu army, the Wu people quickly retreated, and King Zhao of Chu returned to Yingdu and successfully restored the country! ”

Li Nong said solemnly: "Right now, the Jin Kingdom can be said to be completely annihilated. Its country is old and weak, vulnerable, at this time will not destroy Jin, but when? ”

With Li Nong and Xu Ji taking the lead, the civil and military officials in the court were divided into two factions, each insisting on its own words and expressing its own opinions.

One faction asked Ran Min to agree to send troops to recover the lost land of Jianghuai and Xiangfan, and sent troops to destroy the Jin, while the other faction only asked Ran Min to recover the lost territory, and then died down.

The main battle faction was more radical, basically military generals, and a few belligerent civil servants. The Lord and the faction are more gentle, basically civil ministers, because they all know very well that fighting a war is a matter of labor and money, and once the war starts, they have to work a lot, and they have to sleep all night on the job, and this body is really unbearable!

Ran Min thought for a while, and said, "If we destroy Jin, how many troops do we need?" ”

Li Nong secretly calculated in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, at least 200,000 troops are needed!" ”

Hearing this, Ran Min smiled and said nothing.

Cui Hao blew his beard and glared: "Li Nong! Great Sima! You're deceiving you! 200,000 horses and you want to destroy Jin, it may not be too stupid, right? Although there are not many soldiers to fight in the country of the Jin Kingdom, they can still recruit more recruits to fight, even if they are sharpening their guns in battle, even if they are making trouble for you in the back, I don't know if your 200,000 Jin army can stand it? Do you want to repeat the mistakes of Li Xin's war with Chu? ”

"Cui Lingjun, dissipate your anger." Li Nong smiled wryly and said: "The current Jin Kingdom is weak, and an army of 200,000 is enough to destroy the Jin. If it weren't for the fact that the Jin land south of the Yangtze River was large enough, I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me only 100,000 elite soldiers to ensure that the cities in all parts of the Jin Kingdom are invincible, and its army is terrified! ”
