Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 492 The Jin Dynasty is poor and can't afford soldiers

"Ji slave, God wants us to be successful!"

As the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be blessings. For soldiers, they can return safely after repeated battles. It is not only a blessing, but also means that they will hold their dream office!
Even in the Great Jin Dynasty, official positions in the army were not very popular, but for farmers in Jingkou, who had no material background, it was a precious treasure.

"Yes!"

"When I get home, I must worship under the sacred tree in the yard. Maybe it's the old man who has been protecting us all the time."

Don't look at Liu Yu's eyes wide open and don't believe anything. In fact, he would rather believe it or not believe it when it comes to things that are illusory and incomprehensible.

"You run so fast!"

"Don't tell me to wait for me!"

The two brothers were sighing about their lives and were glad that they had finally achieved their goals. At this time, Wang Mi, who was not good at horsemanship but had a high spirit, finally caught up with him out of breath.

As soon as I came up, I complained, and I quickly took a few sips of water and slowed down.

Beside him, He Mai and others gradually gathered around, and the few people he had met from Jingkou were all there.

The only one missing is Wei Yong.

"I don't know what happened to Yongzhi's doctor." Tan Pingzhi suddenly remembered his old friend. Although he was worried, he was not too worried.

Compared with the brothers who were born and died, Wei Yongzhi's life is not too sad.

"Don't worry, Yin Zhongkan's medical skills are exquisite, and he will definitely be able to heal Brother Wei's mouth."

"The next time we set off, the three brothers will be able to play together!"

Wang Mi was only [-]% sure about other things, but he was [-] times [-]% sure about this matter, so he couldn't go wrong.

"It would be great if that were the case!"

"Zhiyuan, what is General Xie's order?"

When the Beifu army marched outside Jingkou City, it was time to make a decision.These days, they have been procrastinating and have not spoken out about their specific plans.

At this time, I am afraid that there is no longer any delay, so I can only do it.

Liu Yu asked Xiao Wang, who was also at a loss.

"I don't know, just wait, General Xie will be here soon."

It was said that it would arrive soon, but in fact, Xie Xuan's arrival would take at least half a column of incense.As for what Xie Xuan will arrange and announce, although he has never stated it clearly, Wang Mi has a general idea.

Isn't it just such a little thing, in fact, this old Xie can't think about it. It would be better if he said it earlier and solved it earlier.

If you have to drag it, although dragging it can make the dispute appear later, it is just self-deception!

"Zhiyuan, is the army really about to disband?"

"What a pity!"

At this time, who can stand up and break through this layer of window paper with a gentle push, besides He Mai, who else is there?

Wang Mi was stunned, this kid can do it!

Without prior ventilation, He Mai actually thought of going with him. I have to say that this kid has a really shrewd mind.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense, everything has to follow General Xie's arrangement." Tan Pingzhi immediately stopped He Mai's nonsense.

Among the few, the least ambitious is Tan Pingzhi. Although he also has a dream of becoming an official and a nobleman, his dream does not stop there.

In his eyes, as long as there are more powerful generals, he is willing to follow such a person, and he is loyal to the Dajin court.

Obviously, in his opinion, Wang Mi is very good, Xie Xuan is also very good, and he is very satisfied with Xie Xuan.

He Mai was not convinced, but asked Wang Mi again, "Zhiyuan, what do you think?"

Wang Mi smiled and didn't speak, but Liu Yu said, "If the soldiers who were recruited temporarily did not get promoted, they would be disbanded at the end of the war. This has always been the practice."

"It is understandable that General Xie wants to do this."

Liu Yu didn't want to let the soldiers in Jingkou still stay in the ranks. The benefits of doing so are too many.

Unfortunately, rules are rules, and since they've done it before, there's a reason.

The Dajin court is too poor!

After all, this is the reason.

I don't blame the Beifu, and I can't blame the Xie family. They all blame the incompetence of the old Sima family.

Without money, it is inevitable that a large-scale army cannot be raised.

Although the Xie family is rich and has a big business, it is just a dream to expect the Xie family to use all the funds to support the Beifu soldiers.

The current situation of the Beifu soldiers is such a complicated situation. On the one hand, the Xie family is indeed investing in the support of the Beifu soldiers. The daily drills and weapon building of the Beifu require the Xie family to pay.

In this case, of course, only the Xie family can control the Beifu. If it is handed over to others, the Xie family's years of hard work will be wasted. No one can accept this.

Furthermore, judging from the current situation in the court, there is indeed no aristocratic family strong enough to replace the Xie family and continue to support the Beifu soldiers.

There is no way out of the money.

However, the Xie family's support for Beifu is still limited after all, which is roughly equivalent to the range of the private tribesmen supported by the big manor owners. Don't underestimate the scale of the Jinshi family's personal tribes.

From a few thousand to as many as tens of thousands, even the Jingzhou soldiers controlled by the Huan clan in Qiaojun are, to some extent, a private part of the Huan clan.

The number of people is large, and the money is like flowing water. There is no huge amount of materials, and there is no exclusive money casting furnace. It is impossible to support.

Therefore, the majority of the soldiers who support the Beifu are still paid by the imperial court. The army's salaries, food and grass, and the manufacture of large-scale weapons and armor all need to be raised by the imperial court.

As a result, the court had no money, so the army had no money. How could a poor army without money be able to win a war?
Of course you can't win.

In this context, appropriate downsizing has become the only magic weapon to maintain Beifu's combat effectiveness.

After the end of each war, some of the recruits who have not been promoted to rank are disbanded on the spot and ordered to continue farming. This is the usual solution for the troops of the Jin Dynasty.

The location of this disbandment is usually the important military town near Jiankang City, Jingkou.

It is very close to the capital, and all kinds of military facilities are available. A large number of soldiers are gathered here, and they are fighting and farming. On weekdays, when there is no large-scale war, the soldiers are like the most ordinary farmers, cultivating the fields.

When the imperial court needed it, it would order the generals to be responsible for recruiting soldiers to Jingkou again, conduct simple military training in Jingkou, and rush to the battlefield on another day.

Because many of the local farmers in Jingkou had military experience, it was quite easy to train them, and the court could rest assured.

This is also the special reason why Xie Xuan, the general of Beifu, also attaches great importance to Jingkou. Jingkou has a large number of reliable soldiers with certain military literacy.

Not only that, but in Jingkou, the people are sturdy and brave, and every year there are suitable recruits who can be recruited to Beifuzhong.

There are many reasons why Jingkou is the most important source of troops in Beifu.

There are not only a large number of veterans with certain combat experience here, but also young farmers who have a resolute style and dare to fight. At the same time, this place also has a special advantage.

That is the Central Plains refugees from Nandu, most of them have to go ashore here.

These refugees are a good source of recruits.

Generally speaking, there are not many old, weak, sick and disabled people among them. If they can't fight, and their martial arts skills are not good, they will not be able to pass the long road, pass the test, and lead the tribe to successfully cross the south.

These good sons are all good seedlings of Beifu!
