Chapter 114 Imperial Military System

The hot spring village finally arrived, and the first thing Lin Yang did after the handover was to sleep. He was too tired. There were many fortresses in the vast land, and it was really tiring to find his own place.

Since Lin Yang is willing to sleep, let him fall asleep, as long as he is not sleeping Zhang Cai.

Then, taking advantage of Lin Yang's rest time, here is a brief (fart) introduction to the military system of the Zaku Empire.The military system of the Zaku Empire is second to none in terms of complexity. Compared with the simple and straightforward Iron Man River Man, you can't say that he is chaotic, you can only say that it is very chaotic, which makes people dizzy.

As mentioned above, the Zhagu Empire has just been established, and there are only three types of military systems: private soldiers of each family including the Zhao family, local "state and county soldiers", and the three major battalions of the central forbidden army.Then Emperor Taizong Wen Zhao Guang tossed out the forbidden army, and then the passive strategy of Zhenzong Renzong and other dynasties, that is, after Zhao Guang tossed out the forbidden army, the military system of the Zhagu Empire changed greatly.

First of all, the empire abandoned the traditional conscription system of enlisting Liangjiazi, and started the recruitment system, which merged the remaining soldiers of the forbidden army with soldiers recruited from all over the country, and organized them into "legions" to enter the battlefield to resist the invasion of enemies from all directions.

Do you think the change of the Forbidden Army to the Legion is just a change of name?Army or Central Army?joke!The Forbidden Army is permanently stationed in the Imperial Capital, going out to fight in wartime, and defending the Imperial Capital to defend the emperor in peacetime.The legion, on the other hand, is permanently stationed in the frontier, and protecting the emperor can only depend on the mood of the frontier generals who support the soldiers.In other words, the soldiers of the imperial army are soldiers of the empire, and the soldiers of the legion are under the leadership of the commanders.

There are also differences between the legions, and the divisions in them are enough to fill the volume of the brain.For example, the Huangsai Army, Tiande Army, and Zhenwu Army mentioned above were annexed by the Prairie Army. These three armies are garrison armies and theoretically do not undertake military offensive tasks; and the Shengding Army mentioned earlier is a field army. The regiment is specially responsible for military offensive tasks, as well as the Shengjie Army and Shengcai Army.

But not all the field legions with the word "victory", on the contrary, not all the army without the word "victory".The former has the Shengguan Army and the Shengsai Army, while the latter has the Qianjun Army and the Pingrong Army.Even with the word town, Zhenbei Army is a garrison army, Zhennan Army is a field army, and Zhendong Army was a field army in the previous dynasty, and was transferred to Jiaozhou by Zhao Ju in this dynasty to become a garrison army, Zhenxi Army At the beginning of its establishment, it was the Field Army, but now this designation belongs to the Hezhou Lei family. There is also the Ningbian Army. Just look at the name and guess, is it the Field Army or the Defense Army?neither.The Ningbian Army is a city, originally Ningbian County, because it is located in the strategic hub of the border, it was first mentioned from the county to the state, and then the iron man razed the city, and the Zhagu Empire built Ningbian Village on the original site, and Ningbian Village was raised After leaving Ningbian Prefecture, Ningbian Prefecture was renamed Kaiyanzhou, Kaiyanzhou was promoted to Yanqing Road, a city on Yanqing Road was promoted to Beiman Road, and after a circle, it became Anbei Village. It was the Ningbian Army. Later, Iron Man also got annoyed with this old name-changing place, so he gave up the Ningbian Army City, and then the Zhagu Empire rebuilt on the original site and strengthened the city defense.
You can guess what his name is now.

Hot spring village!
Of course, these are not enough headaches, in addition to the legions of the Shi family, the Lei family, the Dong family, and the Huangfu family, their own legions will also change their names according to the preferences of the patriarch.
The Prairie Army is also the legion of the Zaku Empire.

If you don't memorize it by rote, you don't even know the legion nearby. Is he an army?Or the city?If it is a legion, is it garrison or field?Is it that the central government of the empire can still command?Or is it impossible for the central government of the empire to command?
There are still some bits and pieces on the issue of the legion, such as the Confederacy Legion trained directly from the tribe by some ministers in the southern border. We will talk about these later, let's talk about the frontier army.

You may be curious, the legionnaire guards the frontier, isn't the frontier army just the legion?It would be a big mistake to think so. To put it simply: the legion is a frontier army, but the frontier army is not a legion.

I still remember that the northern side wall had just been built that year, and the frontier defense stretched thousands of miles from west to east, so that no matter how many legions there were, they were pulled away without mobile forces, and they all became garrison corps.

The emperor saw that this was not possible, so he waved his hand and restored the compulsory military system in the border areas, and added "defense soldiers", a kind of army that was both farmers and soldiers. Usually, they farmed around the side wall, and prepared their own weapons when the Iron Man invaded. Rations guard the thousands of miles of side walls, as well as cities, fortresses, post stations, etc. along the route.Needless to say, the advantages are cheap, the quantity is large, and you can maintain a large scale without spending a few dollars, which is much cheaper than legionnaires; the disadvantages are obvious, self-provisioned equipment, self-provisioned military supplies, training depends on whether you are diligent, and low combat effectiveness Just like the air, the only use of going to the battlefield is to consume the iron man's arrows, and just defend the city. Don't expect to be able to fight in the field. If you don't hear the enemy and collapse, you can go home and burn incense. Thank you Cupid. God bless you.

Later, the defense troops were not enough, the defense line of the border wall was shaken, and the border border was in urgent need of soldiers, what should we do?As a result, "garrison soldiers" were added to the frontier army family.There are three kinds of garrison troops: either inland state and county soldiers discuss border guards, or domestic criminals are dispatched to guard the border, or organize domestic landless people to settle at the border, but the latter is not much different from the situation of defense soldiers. , are both plowing and fighting.

Therefore, the empire collectively referred to the defense troops and the garrison troops as "defense troops".

In the future, as the Zaku Empire gradually had enough power to start a counterattack, the frontier army added "zhai soldiers", which were not only soldiers belonging to each army village, but also private soldiers from each Zhizhai's family, or they could be recruited from the country. The soldiers can also be the people in the village temporarily recruited. Anyway, they are just soldiers and horses who only know the commander of the village. They can be regarded as the army of each "small country".

For example, in our Lin Zhizhai, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. As long as Lin Yang is the Zhizhai of Wenquan Village, Lin Yang will have the power of life and death in Wenquan Village, a pure emperor of the earth.

Of course, all the princes are not mentally retarded, and hereditary replacement is absolutely impossible!
The imperial army is generally finished, but there are still some bits and pieces that are not organized, such as "utilitarian soldiers", also known as "utilitarian soldiers".

This is also completely used as cannon fodder to anoint the iron man's blade. The utility man not only allows the landlords, tyrants, nobles, clans, and big businessmen in the northern border to have the right to recruit, train, and raise soldiers, spend their own money to maintain them on weekdays, and hand them over to the national command in wartime. .

Of course, that's what I said, but can it really be strictly enforced forever?Lin Yang has only brought a thousand private soldiers here, but as long as the number doubles, Lin Yang can lead the army under the name of a utility man.

From a certain level, utility soldiers are fair. As long as you have money and manage well, you can have a few hundred soldiers and count yourself.

This is only the north, counting the south and the many state and county soldiers and private soldiers in the country, the empire will not only have a million troops, but dare to say 500 million troops!

Hot Spring Village is under the tent of Liu Fa, the great general of the empire. General Liu Fa has a very long title.

There are six types of army in the empire: legionary soldiers, garrison soldiers, stockade soldiers, utility soldiers, and state and county soldiers.Among them, to lead the legion, the prerequisite is to be a general, and the generals of the Zaku Empire must have a name in front of them, such as a certain general; and the prerequisite for becoming a general must be a certain general. Somebody General.
For example, General Liu Fa, he was first the commander-in-chief of the Shengding Army and commanded the Shengding Army, so he was able to serve as the "General Yangwei", and he can be honored as Liu Yangwei, General Liu, and Zongbing Liu.Generally speaking, it is best not to call Liu Zongbing.

Liu Fa is an important general of the empire, and he is in charge of the general in one direction. Therefore, in addition to commanding the Shengding army, he also controls the defense troops and garrison troops of Longyou Dao. Dao soldiers and horses defending envoys" and "Longyou Dao soldiers and horses defending envoys"; Instructing soldiers and horses"; the state and county soldiers in each state and county are also under his command, and generally in the case of controlling all the soldiers and horses along the way, the Zhagu Empire will add a [Jiedu Envoy] in the back to launch a festival battle; And if the legionnaires are included, there will be one of the governor's envoy, admiral's envoy, and economic envoy.

So Liu Fa's title is:
General Yangwei, the general officer of the Shengding Army, led the Longyou Dao military and horse defense envoy, and the military and horse garrison envoy, and also served as the governor of the general, the military and horse supervisor, and the envoys. Envoy, Martial Hou, Liu Fa.

This has not yet added honorary titles such as Prince Taibao and Prince Shaobao.

(Prince Taibao, General Yangwei, Chief Military Officer of Shengding Army, Leader of Longyou Dao Bingma Defense Envoy, Bingma Shuyu Envoy, and Chief Superintendent, Bingma Supervisor Instructor, Envoy Chi Jie Jiedu Longyou Military, Longyou Right Dao Jinglueshi, Wei Wuhou, Liu Fa)

So, when can our chapters and prefixes be so long?
