"Cultivating your own forces in secret?" Hearing Zhao Hongming say this, Wu Qi suddenly became thoughtful.

Zhao Hongming looked at Wu Qi and said, "Does Chief Wu Tun think it's inappropriate?" ”

"What kind of power does Your Highness want, is it the same as the martial arts force?"

Wu Qi knew that His Royal Highness the Martial King in front of him had abundant martial virtues, and that he had studied in the Royal Tibetan Martial Arts Building for so long, and his knowledge of martial arts must have reached a very high level, which was enough to start a sect.

However, in his opinion, the efficiency of this organization is still too low.

Zhao Hongming bowed his head lightly and said, "This king has the intention of this. ”

As Wu Qi said, he planned to start another business in Ying County, build a martial arts force of his own, and provide strong support for it.

After thinking for a while, Wu Qi said: "I want to ask, does Your Highness know about today's military source system?" ”

Zhao Hongming frowned slightly, carefully recalling the military source system in the Wei State.

Seeing that Zhao Hongming didn't answer immediately, Wu Qi took the initiative to explain: "Your Highness, if you are using the mobilization system of the previous Zhou era today, that is, soldiers are not separated from martial arts forces and farming. ”

"Take the Eastern Army of Wei here as an example, most of them are temporary mobilization of soldiers, some of them are farmers, some are from martial arts forces, and some are martial artists without divisions. Once the war is over, most of the soldiers will either return to their respective martial arts forces or disperse until the next call-up. ”

After Wu Qi finished speaking, Zhao Hongming suddenly recalled.

Now Wei is indeed a temporary mobilizer, which is completely different from the military system that he is familiar with in later generations.

Every time he went to war, it was the King of Wei who used the wish stone, gold and silver as a reward to attract some martial arts forces to provide troops, or the idle warriors and peasants on the rivers and lakes fought for the Wei State.

Seeing Wu Qi raise this, Zhao Hongming felt that he must have his own ideas, and asked: "I don't know if Wu Tunchang has any opinions?" ”

A trace of excitement flashed on Wu Qi's face, and he calmed down and continued: "Your Highness, my subordinates think that such a system is too simple, and the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals, which is not conducive to the command of the generals; Second, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is uneven, and their hearts are also uneven. If it is a tailwind battle, it is okay, but if it encounters a difficult situation, it is very easy to form a rout. ”

"If you want soldiers to have combat effectiveness, Weichen thinks that it is necessary to reform the mobilization system that followed the previous dynasty into a conscription system, and realize the policy of separating soldiers and peasants, and separating martial arts forces from soldiers."

Zhao Hongming was a human being in two lifetimes, and after Wu Qi's reminder, he reacted instantly.

Wu Qi is talking about the "elite soldier strategy", replacing the original mercenaries and mobilized soldiers with elite soldiers in the real sense.

This may not come as a surprise from the perspective of the future.

But if you put it in this world, it's simply a groundbreaking thing.

At least, before Wu Qi, no one thought about such a thing.

The inertia of history is too great.

Everyone has been doing this for hundreds of years, thousands of years, and it is difficult for anyone to jump out of it, but Wu Qi jumped out.

I have to say that he is a talent, and he is still a big talent.

Zhao Hongming's face sank and said: "What Wu Tunchang said, can Lone be understood as 'the strategy of elite soldiers'?" ”

Elite soldiers?!

Wu Qi was overjoyed.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Martial King understood his thoughts, in a word.

As early as the last time he saw Zhao Hongming's generosity, he felt that the fifth prince Zhao Hongming was a dragon among people.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Hongming not only had great talent in martial arts, but also great wisdom in the art of war.

Wu Qi thinks that he has been floating for half his life, but he has not met the master.

Today, I met someone who understood him, and I couldn't wait to shed tears on the spot.

Wu Qi said excitedly: "As His Highness said, it is the 'strategy of elite soldiers'. ”

Zhao Hongming nodded and said appreciatively: "I feel that Wu Tun Chang is really a bit condescending to be the head of Tun, and he should be worshiped as a general with this wisdom." ”

Hearing this, Wu Qi knelt on the ground with a puff and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is tormenting the lower officials, how can you get the position of general?" ”

"Chief Wu Tun is a little too modest." Zhao Hongming stepped forward and said: "It is amazing that Wu Tunchang can think so far and think about what no one has thought before. ”

Wu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.

Zhao Hongming took the initiative to help Wu Qi up and said: "Wu Tunchang's idea is indeed good, with such a strong army, this king is afraid that he will be able to sweep Liuhe." At the moment, however, there are some problems. ”

"I hope Your Highness will teach you."

Zhao Hongming recalled some common sense of military morality in his previous life and said: "If we want to build such a professional army, then these soldiers must be out of production, so where do we get the grain from in Yingjun now, where does the money come from, and where does the stone come from?" ”

"If Lone remembers correctly, my father allowed half of the wish stones to be left in these border lands before, but now Yingjun is almost controlled by these martial arts forces, so there are actually very few wish stones in the hands of this king."

"Not only that, since you want elite soldiers, then the soldiers must be trained, but this king only has one acre and three points of land in this palace now, how can he train soldiers under the noses of these martial arts forces?"

Wu Qi didn't think about the current situation, but he didn't have a particularly good way to crack it, so he was silent.

Zhao Hongming looked at him with a smile and said, "So this king can create a martial arts force outside, and use this martial arts force to build and train troops." In addition, since it is an elite soldier, then it is necessary to be a full martial artist. As for the farmers, just let them produce in peace. ”

Wu Qi was puzzled: "Then as His Highness said, where did the money, grain, wishing stones, and martial artists come from?" ”

Zhao Hongming laughed and said: "When this king came, I heard that after the transfer of my father before the emperor, there were nearly 100 martial arts forces in this Ying County. ”

When the few people present heard Zhao Hongming say this, they all looked at each other and didn't understand it.

Just when they were puzzled, Zhao Hongming's lips opened and closed and spit out Sen Ran's words: "After such a long time, these martial arts forces have accumulated a lot of foundation. Autumn is coming, and the ripe wheat should be harvested as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Hongming's last word fell, and a killing intent spread from his body to the surroundings, as if the temperature in the main hall seemed to have dropped several degrees.

"Gao Yanshi, don't forget what this king asked you to inquire about. Now that three days have passed, and the shackles in the palace have been swept away, you should move early. ”

Zhao Hongming glanced at Gao Yanshi, who was stared at and beat a spirit, realized the importance of what he was doing, and said respectfully: "The slave will go out early tomorrow morning to inquire about the news, and he will report everything from Ying County to His Highness." ”
