Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2329 Placed under Longyou
Some people proposed to control the number of soldiers and horses of the vassal kings, and to change the fiefdoms of the vassal kings.

When Qin Tian heard this proposal, his expression was very calm.

He is also a vassal king, so this matter naturally involves him, and matters involving his own interests, he feels that it is best for him to avoid suspicion.

Even if he is very powerful in the court now, he still needs to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, he is not going to get involved in this topic.

However, if he didn't say it, it was impossible for other officials not to say it.

"Your Majesty, it is okay to limit the number of soldiers and horses in the range. After all, if there are many soldiers and horses in the vassal kings, these vassal kings will easily cause trouble. It is a good thing to limit it. However, let the vassal kings change their fiefs within a few years. But there is something wrong. These vassals may have their own plans for some people's livelihood construction in their own fiefs. If these have not been completed, the vassals have gone to other fiefs, and the other vassals have come Afterwards, you may be dissatisfied with or unfamiliar with the previous people’s livelihood plan. This will lead to some problems. In the end, it will be the common people who suffer. It is not appropriate to replace the fiefdom within a few years, at least ten years, or even 20 years. Once, it is more reasonable."

"Yes, my lord, it should take longer to change the fiefdom. Besides, the control of the number of soldiers and horses of the vassal king has some restrictions on the rebellion of the vassal king, but at the same time it also reduces the number of soldiers and horses in my Tang Dynasty. Ah, I think this is not very appropriate, we should think of a way to increase the strength of my Tang Dynasty instead of reducing it."

"It's easy to increase the number of soldiers and horses. Here in the capital, we can change the military system into a recruitment system, or combine the military system and the recruitment system. As we all know, what we used before was the military system, and the so-called military system is Soldiers and peasants are united. Soldiers are busy farming when they are busy farming. They have to plant and harvest. The reason for doing this is because of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the people has decreased, and we have to plant the land. So in this way, we can To meet the needs of soldiers and horses, and to cultivate the arable land, but now, my Tang Dynasty has been in peace for a long time, the population has increased a lot, and the number of wars has decreased. If these soldiers have been farming, even if they are on weekdays With some training, their combat effectiveness will still slowly degrade. As my Great Tang becomes more and more prosperous and there are fewer and fewer wars, this degradation will only become more and more serious. At that time, my Great Tang may appear There are no soldiers available, so the imperial court should change the government military system to a recruiting system. Our imperial court has to recruit a group of long-term soldiers. These soldiers are all soldiers before the age of 60. Our imperial court has to pay military salaries to let them live. And what they need to do all their lives is to defend our Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, they only have one profession, which is soldiers. Of course, if all of them are soldiers like this, we must not be able to bear it at first, so at the beginning At that time, we can combine the government army system and the recruitment system to ensure that the number of soldiers and horses in our court is sufficient."

After the official expressed his point of view, everyone felt very shocked and felt that it was very novel.

Everyone has never thought about the issue of the Fubing system, because since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has been able to maintain development and capture cities everywhere, relying on the Fubing system.

The combination of soldiers and peasants created the powerful Tang Dynasty today.

Many people may have always thought that the Fubing system is perfect and has almost no flaws, but now, this official has brought up the flaws of the Fubing system. When I first heard it, I thought he was talking nonsense. How could there be problems with the Fubing system?

But after listening to it, I found out that there is a problem with the government military system. This problem is not in the present, but in the future.

After Li Chengqian listened, he also nodded: "Ai Qing is right. The government military system is indeed not in line with the situation of our Tang Dynasty. The combination of the military military system and the recruitment system is the kingly way."

After Li Chengqian said this, it was decided that they would have special soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and they would serve as soldiers for the rest of their lives, and they didn't need to do other things on weekdays, as long as they were good soldiers.

The monarchs and ministers muttered like this, and almost resolved the matter of improving the military.

But at this time, Qin Tian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what you said just now is very good. I have another proposal here, and I hope Your Majesty can approve it."

Just now, Qin Tian was involved in the discussion about the vassal king, so Qin Tian kept silent. Now that it was almost over, Qin Tian finally stood up.

Regarding this, Li Chengqian nodded calmly: "What does the King of Xiliang want to say?"

"My lord, when I put down the rebellion in the middle of Shu, I considered one thing, that is, the terrain in the middle of Shu is very special. Whenever the world is in chaos, there will be a rebellion in the middle of Shu, because as long as people enter there, they will naturally want to be a part of it." Emperor Tu, although the people in Sichuan have never been successful, they always participate in rebellion, which makes people feel troublesome. I have a proposal to completely put an end to rebellion in Sichuan."

If the world is chaotic, central Sichuan will definitely be chaotic. If the world is flat, central Sichuan is basically the last one to be flat. No one has summed up this situation before, but everyone thinks it makes sense when Qin Tian said it this way.

When Qin Tian said that he had a way to put an end to the rebellion in Sichuan, everyone immediately became curious.

You know, this problem in Sichuan has happened for hundreds of years, but in the past dynasties, no one has solved this problem. Now that Qin Tian has a solution, what solution does he have?
Everyone looked at Qin Tian curiously, wanting to know how he would solve this problem.

On Li Chengqian's side, he was also very curious and asked, "What can the King of Xiliang do to solve the problem of rebellion in the middle of Shu?"

Qin Tiandao: "My lord, the reason for the rebellion in the middle of Shu is because the roads in the middle of Shu are difficult to walk, and the road to climb to Shu is difficult. It is very difficult for outsiders to enter, and there are many places in the middle of Shu with fertile land, which can be used for They provide some food and grass for daily needs, they have food and grass, and they are safe inside, so they will naturally breed rebellion, if the two problems can be solved, then the rebellion in central Sichuan can basically be eliminated."

Hearing what Qin Tian said, everyone nodded repeatedly, feeling that this was really the case.

Isn't the reason why there was a rebellion in Shuzhong because they were self-sufficient and it was not easy for outsiders to attack?
It's just that it's not easy to solve these two problems.

"Thus, I feel that if we want to solve the problem of frequent rebellions in the middle of Shu, it is very simple. The land of Hanzhong should be separated from the middle of Shu and assigned to Longyou Dao."
