Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 201 Promotion
"Sima of Yingyang Mansion?"

On the outskirts of the city, in a hut in the cemetery of the Qin family.

After listening to Luo Cheng's words, Qin Qiong asked in surprise.Although the Sima of Yingyang Mansion is not as good as General Yingyang and General Yingji, he is of five obediences and five ranks, but his rank is not low.The long history of Yingyang Mansion is the seventh-rank post, and Sima is from the seventh-rank post. "I have been promoted several levels in a row."

"I haven't been promoted several levels in a row. Changbai Yingyang Mansion only governs 800 people, and it is a lower mansion. Therefore, the Sima of the mansion is not as good as the Sima of the upper mansion. The Sima of the upper mansion is from the seventh rank. My Sima of the lower mansion is from the eighth rank, which is two levels lower. "

Qin Qiong poured Luo Cheng a cup of tea, a cup of clear tea, without adding any condiments.

"You used to be from the ninth rank, but now you are from the eighth rank, and you have still raised a few levels. Besides, the difference between the county soldiers and the government soldiers is still huge. If you stay in the county soldiers, you can only suppress bandits and catch thieves. But if you enter the Wei Mansion, you will have the opportunity to conquer and fight."

Luo Cheng really has no interest in joining the Weifu. The campaign is about to start, and he is even more unwilling to be cannon fodder.

"It's not bad. Sima is a very important job, and it doesn't bury your talent."

In Changbai Yingyang Mansion, there is a general Yingyang Lang, who is the fifth rank, a member of the eighth rank Changshi, a Sima from the eighth rank, and two soldiers Cao Shenjun and Cangcao Shenjun, and there are records and military affairs And a member of each office.In addition, two captains of Yueqi were appointed to command the cavalry, and two captains of the infantry were appointed to command the infantry.There are also officers such as brigade commander, team leader, and team deputy, all of which have grades.

The earliest position of Sima was held by scribes, and there was no rank, and he was a staff member of military officials.

The Fubing system of the Sui Dynasty was not actually created by itself, but inherited the Fubing system of the Western Wei Dynasty.

However, the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty originated from the tribal military system of the Tuoba clan of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty.The Xianbei people living in Mobei are mainly nomadic, so their military system is to unite and defend when there is something to do, and to return home when there is nothing to do.Later, the Western Wei Dynasty combined the military leadership system of the governor's mansion since the Han and Wei Dynasties, so it imitated Zhou Dian to set up six armies and a hundred mansions.

Set up the Six Pillar Kingdom, command the Six Armies, and implement the Fubing system.

At the beginning, there were less than one hundred mansions, and each mansion was led by a general, and they belonged to the 24 armies. In short, it is a six-pillar country, and the number of soldiers is less than [-].

Later, the two major generals of the Pillar Kingdom were added, so there were Eight Pillar Kingdoms and Twelve Generals.

This government military system has been in use since the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty, to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then to the Sui Dynasty, but there are more and more military government offices and more and more soldiers.

From the beginning of the Western Wei Dynasty when the government soldiers were first established, there were less than 80 soldiers and less than [-] soldiers. Today, there are seven to eight hundred army soldiers and seven to eight million soldiers.

The mansion Sima was a literati from the beginning, and his duty was to be equivalent to a staff officer, responsible for participating in the counseling.

But now, Sima also has heavy responsibilities.

Not only assisting in military and political affairs, but also training armor soldiers, repairing armaments, pre-arranging military aircraft, in charge of military law, and in charge of the distribution of military supplies, food and salaries.

Qin Qiong said, "Don't underestimate this position. Sima Bi Rong is in charge of military affairs. He often learns the rituals of searching and hunting, and has the method of applying for battle. Every army's attack and preparation for war are listed in the equipment. Those who distinguish their virtues. All military talents, food, and those who are awarded to the soldiers and riders are all bestowed. It is in line with the requirements of the military contract, compared with the army of the military. Rewards and punishments can be discussed, orders can be heard, and the three armies In this way, the sound and the breath will do it."

Although he used to be a civilian, he was an out-and-out military official.

"Don't look at the captain of Yueqi and the captain of infantry, both of whom are seventh-rank, and their rank is still higher than that of Sima you, but they are actually your subordinates."

Lang Jiang, Chang Shi, and Sima are the three who can be called the chief officials in Yingyang Mansion. Ying Yang Lang will be the chief officer, and Chang Shi and Sima are the assistant officials.

Chang Shi is responsible for assisting General Lang in command of the army. If General Lang is absent or unable to manage the council, he will take over the position of General Lang on his behalf.As for Sima, he took care of almost everything and covered everything.

If you compare it with a county government, this Lang will naturally be the county magistrate, and the long history is the county magistrate, and Sima is equivalent to both the county lieutenant and the master book.

"You have to take charge of the army's soldiers and the government's finances. It involves all aspects. The general Ying Yanglang is brave and capable of fighting. He is good at riding and shooting but not good at handling general affairs. Therefore, a good Sima is very important."

"I understand, I have become the chief steward of the military mansion, and I have to take care of everything."

"That's exactly what it means."

"What's the point of being a housekeeper? He's in charge of things everywhere, but there's a Patriarch at the top." Luo Cheng smiled wryly, as if he had a complete understanding of his identity as the eighth-rank mansion Sima.

Chang Shi is equivalent to a lieutenant general, who can lead the way in a war, but his Sima is the chief of staff and logistics minister.

"Do you know who will be the general?" Qin Qiong asked.

"I don't know about this for the time being. I guess I have to send someone from the Twelve Guards of the capital." After all, he is a fifth-rank military post. If it is placed in later generations, he will at least be a colonel or something.

Luo Cheng, on the other hand, is only the chief of staff of the regiment, and he is also the chief of staff of the newly created second regiment.

"I don't think you seem very happy. Isn't it a good thing to be promoted?"

"There's nothing to be happy about. I'd rather continue to be the captain of the soldiers of Congjiupin County. With a battalion of brothers, I feel at ease. Now there are no big bandits and thieves, and life is comfortable."

What Luo Cheng was most unhappy about was that he was transferred from the county soldier to the Weifu system. He might be conscripted into the Liao Dynasty next year. He had tried his best to avoid going out to serve, but he didn't expect to come back now.

And now that he is no longer affiliated to the county military system, Zhang Xutuo is no longer his immediate superior.

Zhang Xutuo is the prefect of the county, and he is in charge of the soldiers and bravery of the county. Now the imperial court has specially set up a new official position in each county, as the captain of the county, who is in charge of the soldiers of the guards in each county.However, the captain of the county does not have much power. He just coordinates the military mansions that do not belong to each other. Minister's errands, such as coordination and mobilization.

Now he doesn't know who will be the captain of the county, nor who will be promoted to be the general of Ying Yanglang. He doesn't know anything about the future. This feeling of being unable to grasp is very bad.

After staying in the county for a day, Luo Cheng returned to Zhangqiu.

In the county barracks outside the county seat, Luo Cheng called together a group of school lieutenants, brigade commanders, and team leaders, and told them the latest news.

"Our battalion has been changed to Yingyang Mansion, and I have become a mansion soldier?" The fourth child was a little confused.

"Well, if there are no accidents, all 500 people from our battalion will be transferred to Changbai Yingyang Mansion, and everyone will be the guards of the Wei Mansion from now on."

"Ah, that's great, I've become a mansion guard." The fourth son roared loudly, startling Luo Chengcheng.

"What are you crazy about?"

Luo Cunxiao stared at Luo Cheng, "Aren't you happy about this great event?"

Luo Cheng looked at him who was flushed with excitement, and the other brothers who were equally excited, but he was a little confused. It seemed that he was the only one who was not willing to accept this change.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten that the gold content of Fubing is very high in this era, and Fubing can even be ranked among the most promising occupations in the hearts of the common people.It's an honor for one person to be a military soldier, and the whole family may even have the opportunity to make contributions one day, and then be appointed as an official, step into an official career, step out of the village, and leap into the dragon's gate!
