After the discussion in the pavilion, Liu Bei personally met with Pang Xi, Li Yan, Ling Bao and other Shu generals, and each gave officials and knights, and selected people to be rewarded.

For example, Pasir County Taishou Pang Xi, Liu Bei was appointed as the Sima of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion; Protector Li Yan, Liu Bei fulfilled Pang Tong's promise, and proposed to capture the general and Qianwei to defend the Taishou; General Ling Bao was promoted to the ...... of General Xingwu.

After that, Liu Bei feasted for several days to celebrate the surrender of the generals in Fushu. Immediately afterwards, the third batch of orders to enter Shu was issued, headed by Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, accompanied by dozens of civil and military officials of the Great Sima Mansion. At the same time, Liu Bei also released the rumor of selecting dignitaries to serve as the governor of Nanzhong from Huo Jun's suggestion.

In the middle of winter, the general's mansion in the north of the town.

In the house, Huo Jun wrote with a pen and wrote the first volume of "Militarism" in the military book. The first polemic has been written, and now it has been written on the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems of conscription and conscription.

China's military system in the past dynasties has generally been inseparable from the two systems of conscription and conscription.

The conscription system originated in the two-week period, when the countrymen went to war. However, with the increase in the intensity of the war, the scale of the war increased, and the scope of conscription ranged from the countrymen to the common people and even slaves. The Western Han Dynasty retained the extensive conscription system of the Warring States Period, forming a unique military system of the county state.

The conscription system originated from the Wei military soldiers trained by Wu Qi, but it was never the mainstream. When Liu Xiu started in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the small number of soldiers under the account, he took Ren Guang's suggestion to recruit people as soldiers. After the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty learned from the experience of the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, abolished the capital test system, and established the Eastern Han Dynasty military system based on the conscription system.

In the turbulent times at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many years of disputes, and the intensity of the war was so great that the conscription system could no longer meet the needs of the war, and the princes gradually picked up the conscription system that was abandoned by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Under the conscription system, the population withered at the end of the Han Dynasty, so a new mutated conscription system was created, that is, the world military system created by Cao Cao. The world military system is based on the extensive conscription system, which requires that the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the younger brother dies, and it is not allowed to be changed.

Historically, whether it was Cao Cao, Shu Han, or Sun Wu, they all used the world military system, but the details of the system were different. The government military system, which was familiar to the Sui and Tang dynasties in later generations, is also a variant of the conscription system. The military households of the Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are all variants of the world military system without exception, and their respective systems and details are different.

However, in Huo Jun's eyes, the two systems of conscription and conscription have their own advantages and disadvantages, and their impacts are different, and there is no superiority or disadvantage. The conscription system is often a combination of soldiers and people, and the ruler gives land and property, so that the people can go out as soldiers and become the people, and the practice of martial arts prevails, which affects whether the martial virtues of the dynasty are abundant.

However, if the conscripted people lose their land and are afraid of military service, they will flee, the quality of the army will be seriously reduced, and the army based on the conscription system will fall apart. Therefore, the state needs to ensure that the soldiers have a permanent production in order to be sustainable.

The conscription system does not look at the background, the ruler gives money, and the people at the bottom are recruited because of the money. In this way, the army is based on interests, fighting for money, and recognizing money rather than the master. Therefore, the state needs to strengthen the spiritual construction of the army, if you blindly give money, just look at the late Tang Dynasty Wufu.

When writing the military book, Huo Jun couldn't help but stop his pen and sighed slightly.

Today, Wu Chu's army can be said to be a mixture of all aspects, including Wu Chu's rebuilding of county soldiers under the auspices of Zhuge Liang, as well as Sun's old generals, local heroes, and Liu Bei's implementation of the world military system.

Liu Bei's rise is too fast, and there are too many old generals of the Liu family in Jingzhou and the old generals of the Sun family in Yangzhou. Those old generals surrendered, and Liu Bei allowed them to lead the old soldiers, so they had a high tendency towards independence.

In order to deter the generals and strengthen control, in addition to letting Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mi Fang, these old people, go out of the core military region of the town, Liu Bei adopted the world military system in the Chinese army, that is, to implement the policy of strong cadres and weak branches. The soldiers were made into professional soldiers, and their families were centrally controlled, and their early combat effectiveness was undoubtedly strong. Use this group of Chinese soldiers to deter the locality, and at the same time support various battlefields in Jiangbei.

This is also why Liu Bei moved to Wuhan and adopted the strategy of guarding the country.

However, this chaotic military system is not a long-term solution, after Liu Bei opened the country, if the conditions permit, he should suggest that Liu Bei reform the military system and further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army.

"The head of the family, Mi Junzi Fang is visiting!"

When Huo Jun was writing, Liu Li wore a dark dress, walked into the room, and said: "The concubine has asked the attendant to take Mi Jun to the outer hall. ”

Seeing that there had been no newcomers entering the back house for a long time, the foot trainer decided to look for a newcomer for Huo Jun after thinking about it. Liu Li, the cousin of the old general Chen Yue, has outstanding appearance, can be good at playing gonghou, and knows poetry and books, and enters the eyes of the step trainer.

Previously, he wanted to promise Jiao Zhongqing to be his wife in the same county, but under Chen Yue's appearance, Liu Li entered Huo Mansion as a concubine.

Huo Jun put his pen on the case and said, "Can Yi'er go home?" ”

Liu Li shook his head and said, "Playing with the prince in the lord's mansion, I don't want to go back to the mansion." ”

"This kid~"

Huo Jun smiled, got up from the couch and said, "Let someone prepare a change of clothes and send them to the lord's mansion." ”

"No!"

After half a ring, Huo Jun appeared in the outer hall and greeted Mi Fang with each other.

"How is Zifang doing lately?" Huo Jun poured tea for Mi Fang and said hello.

Mi Fang sighed and said, "When I went to Wuhan to report on my work today, I was first reprimanded by my brother, and then admonished by the lord. The merit of harassing the Xuzhou seashore is also offset by corruption and will not be rewarded. There was a lot of uproar now, but it made Zhong Miao smile! ”

Saying that, Mi Fang looked sad and said: "The lord seems to want to replace the candidate of Danyang Taishou and appoint Deng Fang to serve as Taishou." ”

Deng Fang, the word Kongshan, after the Deng family in Nanyang. He is light and resolute, heroic and courageous. He originally worked for Liu Biao, and when Liu Bei led his army north to Xiangyang to compete for the throne, he defected to Liu Bei's army. With his outstanding military and political ability, he gradually became a confidant general under Liu Bei's account.

In history, after Deng Fang followed Liu Bei into Shu, he became the first governor of Nanzhong and completed the task of pacifying Nanzhong for Liu Bei.

However, in different histories today, Danyang, as the rear of Jianghuai, needs to be responsible for Jianghuai's military rations, and its importance is far greater than that of Nanzhong. Deng Fang's departure from the town of Danyang is more meaningful than going out of the town of Nanzhong.

Seeing that Mi Fang was distressed, Huo Jun asked, "What does that Zifang think?" ”

Mi Fang held the teacup and said in a deep voice: "With the kindness of the lord to me, although Danyang is too guarded today, there are also other counties to let me out of the town." It's just that you have to do more dedication, and if you make the lord angry again, I'm afraid that you can only be honored. ”

Huo Jun pondered a little and said with a smile: "Jun has a place, which can not only let the sub-party make contributions, calm the anger of the lord, but also allow the sub-party to make profits~"

Mi Fang's eyes lit up instantly, grabbed Huo Jun's hand, and said with a smile: "Zhong Miao called Fang to come to the big gift today, could it be that this is the case?" ”

"When it is!"

Huo Jun broke free of Mi Fang's hand and said: "The profit here is a hundred times that of Danyang, but it is dangerous, I am afraid that Zifang is unwilling to go!" ”

Seeing that there was Zhongli to be profitable, Mi Fang's face was slightly gloomy, and he promised: "How is its risk compared to Liaodong?" Floating sea to the north for thousands of miles, Fang is still not afraid, not to mention the dangerous place. ”

"Does the child know about Nanzhong?" Huo Jun said.

Mi Fang frowned and said, "The place where the miasma snakes and insects in the south are far away. In the decades since the troubled times, the counties and counties have been autonomous, barbarians are rampant, and An can take profits? ”

"Zhong Miao, is it wrong to deceive me?"

Huo Jun chuckled a few times and said, "Zifang only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. There are thousands of miles in the south, cattle and horses are everywhere, there is a lot of gold and silver, if it can be operated properly, it can not only make merit, but also make profits. ”

Mi Fang said suspiciously: "There are horses in the south, and Fang has heard of it." But there are many cattle and horses, why do you say this? ”

"Huh!"

Huo Jun explained: "Nanzhong seems to be a place of miasma, but Nanzhong is rich in water and soil, and the barbarians do not know how to farm, and often take herding as their business. When the Later Han Dynasty was fighting for Nanzhong, they often obtained more than 100,000 cattle and horses. In the land of Wu Chu today, there is a shortage of cattle and horses, and the king goes to the south, which can not only make a profit, but also please the heart of the lord. ”

Seeing Mi Fang brushing his beard and thinking deeply, Huo Jun said again: "There is a lot of gold and silver in Nanzhong, which is the dependence of Yizhou. Zifang does not have to go deep into Nanzhong, and Qianwei can obtain gold and silver from Zhuti County, a vassal state. When the monarch offered gold and silver to Wuhan, the lord would be overjoyed. ”

Mi Fang was moved, if the animal husbandry in Nanzhong was so developed, why would he give up the near and far, in the name of buying horses for the country, stealing inferior horses from Liaodong and selling them to the people.

The quality of Nanzhongma is poor, how can he not know. However, the civilian riding is different from the supply to the army, the army needs medium and high-quality horses, and there is also a market for low-quality horses in the people.

"But is there anything else?" Mi Fang asked excitedly.

"Of course it's not all!"

Huo Jun sipped the tea, unhurried, and said: "In the next words, profit should be better than cattle and horses, gold and silver. ”

Mi Fang rubbed her hands and said with a sneer: "Zhong Miao is resourceful, he should teach more." If this trip is successful, Fang Jue will not treat Zhong Miao badly. ”

"What is the value of Wu Chu's slaves today?" Huo Jun asked.

Mi Fang groaned a little and said: "There is no market for price, it is more expensive than ploughing cattle." ”

As Liu Bei made a fortune, the group of old people who followed him became rich and wealthy one by one, and bought land and real estate. However, they did not cultivate their own farms, but bought slaves to farm for them. Therefore, Wu Chu slaves sold well and were in short supply.

Huo Jun raised the corners of his mouth and pointed: "Bashu slave trading is a common practice, where do its slaves come from?" Not anywhere else, but in South Zhongl! ……”

During the Han Dynasty, Chengdu was the country's slave trade market, and most of its slaves came from the barbarians of southern China. For example, Yidao County (Yibin City) in Yizhou, the name comes from the place where the servants settled. Since the Qin Dynasty, the servants living in Yandao have been sold into slavery by the Han people in large numbers. Since then, the Yu people have moved south, and Yu County has become a place where the Han people live.

Of course, not only did the Han capture the barbarians, but the barbarian tribes would also attack each other, capture each other as slaves, sell them to the Han people, or use them themselves.

Under Huo Jun's detailed introduction, Mi Fang was overjoyed, and said: "According to Zhong Miao's words, if the three of cattle and horses, gold and silver, and slaves are successful, they should be very profitable. ”

"I entered Nanzhong, communicated with the Han people, and they sold cattle, horses, and slaves, and resold them to Wu Chu on their behalf. Among them, there are huge profits, and most of them are offered to the lord, and Zhong Miao and I take a little for ourselves. ”

Huo Jun put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Not only that, but in the name of trade, Zifang can win over Hanyi, contact people loyal to Hanshi, investigate the details of Nanzhong, and draw a map for future counterinsurgency." ”

Mi Fang bowed slightly, his current train of thought had been opened by Huo Jun.

If he is appointed as the governor of Nanzhong now, he should appease the barbarian surname and the Han people. How to work with them? Since it is to cooperate with money and business, there is no relationship in the world that is stronger than interests.

The army opened the way, with the help of pro-Han forces, to fight against separatist forces, and he made the difference as a middleman, which was no better than reselling military baggage to make money, and he didn't have to worry about being punished.

He is the governor of Nanzhong, and he only needs to listen to the orders of the lord. Wouldn't it be beautiful to hand over six points of the money earned, three points to himself, half to Zhong Miao, and half points to make some connections!

Thinking about it, Mi Fang stood up and said with a smile: "Zhong Miao's words have benefited a lot, and Fang will have a good reward." Today, I should see the lord as soon as possible, and ask him to take up the post of governor of Nanzhong. ”

"Zifang go slowly!"

Huo Jun looked at Mi Fang's back and smiled.

Now Mi Fang is appointed as Nanzhong, not by traditional means of governing barbarians, but by alternative means, I don't know what will happen?

disguised as a business group of the government to pacify Nanzhong for the Han Dynasty; After the initial stability of the south, relying on the foundation built before, send troops to destroy most of the disobedient Han heroes or barbarians; Then he appointed the county magistrate to take office and began to govern Nanzhong in depth.
