The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 453: What would happen if all Chinese people were soldiers? The ancients were stunned, so horrified!
"Alright, it's just a foreign country a hundred years from now. I believe that every generation will have talented people. They don't need us. Future generations will have their own strategies to deal with it."

But unexpectedly, facing the murderous requests for war from civil and military officials in the court, Zhu Di calmed down and said calmly.

Of course, it could also be the result of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi standing next to him shaking his arms desperately while holding the account book in his hand.

The anger of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty will not affect the later Han Dynasty. In the video, the voice-over sounded again.

[Perhaps, when South Korea is free from the control of the United States, South Korea's universal military service will become history, and the hellish and hierarchical South Korean army will completely disappear. ]

[By that time, the military service that every Korean man must go through in his life will become a beautiful military memory! ]

"It's a small country like this. Universal military service is supposed to benefit the country and the people. It's really sad to see it develop into what it is now."

In the Northern Dynasty, Murong Chui shook his head and sighed. Universal military service was actually a good system. It could not only improve the quality of the people, but also make them more patriotic.

But South Korea has the ability to turn such a thing into what it is today, and it has become a synonym for hell.

"Humph! If everyone is a soldier, there must be a foundation to support it. A country without its own sovereignty wants to use the army to degenerate its people. Isn't that just dreaming?"

Li Shimin, who had extensive experience in managing the affairs of vassal states, spoke with disdain on his face.

South Korea's corruption is multifaceted, and ultimately it can be attributed to their big brother. Without the strong support of "America", it would not have fallen to this point.

“Although South Korea has gone the wrong way, universal military service is indeed a good idea. Wouldn’t that mean 100,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians?

If the Ming Dynasty turned the whole country into a garrison, and gathered all the local people together, so that they could farm during the busy farming season and train during the leisure time, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

During the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu stood in the main hall of Yingtian Prefecture, talking eloquently and dancing with his hands.

He had even begun to imagine the horrific scene after the Ming Dynasty had tens of millions of troops. By then, who in the world would be able to stop the Ming Dynasty's military advance?
"Cough cough cough."

However, he did not notice that when he was speaking, the sky screen changed. The picture of South Korea's military service ended, and was replaced by a majestic military green torrent.

【After seeing South Korea’s failed national military service system and the hellish service process, let’s go back to China and take a look at the military service system of a thousand-year-old country. 】

"Oh? Is it finally China's turn?"

All the audience's eyes lit up. They sat up straight, put down everything they were doing, and looked up at the sky.

Even though it was not the first time they saw the heroic spirit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, they were still shocked by the army's murderous aura in the video.

"This is a real army. What were those things just now?"

In the Qin Dynasty, the old general Wang Jian felt as refreshed as if he had drunk an ice-cold Coke in the dog days of summer.

"Yes, I think this army is no less powerful than the most elite Lishan warriors of our Great Qin!" Meng Tian also stood up in time. He was referring to the elite of the Qin State's 500,000 troops!

The thirty thousand veterans of the Mount Li camp who had destroyed countless nations!

"Hahaha, South Korea, a small country, can never compare to a big country! In the future, if China can implement universal military service, it can crush other countries with human wave tactics!"

Tang Dynasty, all the resentment Li Shimin had just felt after watching the video was swept away. He seemed to see the scene where his Tang Dynasty soldiers were sweeping across the world like the People's Liberation Army in the video.

However, the first sentence of the voice-over in the video made his smile freeze.

[Compared to South Korea, a small country with a small population, China's military service system is very humane, and only voluntary military service is allowed. ]

[The number of China's standing army accounts for one-fifth of the country's total! ]

[During the conscription season, young people from all over the country will volunteer to sign up and go to the military camp for training.

Every upright Chinese man longs for a military career! 】

"What? He volunteered to join the army? Unbelievable!"

Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty looked at the bustling conscription scene in the video, which included many well-educated students, and said in disbelief.

"All things are inferior, only reading is superior. The words of the late emperor are still fresh in my mind. These students have given up their studies and joined the army to become bandits. I really don't know what they are thinking."

The men below looked at each other in confusion. Wen Yanbo shook his head, looking down on the career of a soldier.

This was even more so for Han Qi, who had long ago denounced Di Qing, who had made great military achievements, as a "lowly person", and now found it even more incredible.

"A true man is one who rolls out his name outside Donghua Gate. These people must have been deceived!"

Han Qi didn't want to admit that his understanding was wrong, so he could only do everything he could to discredit the scene in front of him.

In addition to the Song Dynasty's ministers who were able to break free from the enemy's defenses, the rulers and ministers of other worlds also had questions that they never expressed out loud.

"Your Majesty, this conscription ratio is really a bit low. If China encounters a war in the future, I'm afraid it will be stretched to the limit!"

In the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong, as the person in charge of the military system, was able to figure out the accounts.

The Tang Dynasty had one of the fewest founding dynasties in history. With the support of the equal-field system, the ratio of soldiers to civilians was one in fifty.

That is to say, the Tang Dynasty had a population of 50 million and supported one million soldiers. Even so, the vast territory made the Tang Dynasty's army stretched to its limits.

Some people joined the army when they were young and never returned to their hometown in middle age.

But the video just now revealed that China's level is one in five hundred, which is ten times as much, which is terrifying!
“Not only that, if they are volunteers and have no family members to tie them up at home, how can we guarantee that they will not desert in the face of battle?

And there is an old saying that merchants and brokers should not be selected to recruit soldiers, in order to prevent these smart people from entering the army and bringing bad influence! "

Yuchi Gong also made a well-reasoned analysis, glancing at Cheng Yaojin from time to time.

"Hey! Yuchi Jingde! Why are you looking at me? Could it be that I, Old Cheng, have corrupted the morale of the army?"

Cheng Yaojin could naturally feel Yuchi Gong's gaze and immediately became furious, with an angry look on his dark face.

"Alright, alright, I know what you mean. Let's see, the Tang Dynasty is newly established, and we want to be inclusive. If the military service of China is feasible in the future, it won't be too late for us to absorb it.

If it is really bad, we can learn from it and there is no need for you to argue!"

Li Shimin rubbed his brows and looked at the group of arrogant and powerful generals below. He was the only one who could suppress these guys.

"Hmph!" x2
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, snorted coldly at the same time, and then bowed upwards.

Yue Fei did not have the worries of the Tang emperor and his ministers. Instead, he looked at the People's Liberation Army on the sky with envy and said to the generals in the big tent:

"We are still not virtuous enough! If the Yue Family Army could be like the People's Liberation Army, people from all backgrounds would flock to it, and there would be no worries about not being able to strike Huanglong!"

"Father, our Yue Family Army is now the most popular army in the Song Dynasty..."

Yue Yun scratched his head. He really couldn't imagine why the People's Liberation Army in the video had such a magical power that made people eager to join the army.

"That's not enough. One day, when all the people in the world believe in my Yue Family Army, the scene in the picture will eventually happen to us!" Yue Fei stood up with a longing look on his face.

[Perhaps many people have a question. Compared with South Korea, China has a significantly larger population base, and its military strength and reserves are also stronger. ]

[We are fully capable of implementing a compulsory military service system without having to worry about logistics and supplies.]

[The system of voluntary military service has too much uncertainty, and the recruitment system also has the most significant disadvantage in history - hired soldiers have little desire to fight! ]

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Ying Zheng and Zhu Yuanzhang all nodded slightly. They did have such doubts.

Therefore, whether it was the Qin Empire, the Tang Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty, they all retained a portion of military households to which the court distributed land and means of production.

In the Qin Dynasty, they were called Iron Eagle Warriors; in the Tang Dynasty, they were soldiers of the Zhechoufu from all over the country; and in the Ming Dynasty, they were military households rooted in various garrisons.

Compared with the recruited soldiers whose combat effectiveness fluctuates, these talents are the foundation of the rise and fall of dynasties in their eyes.

[Next, let's discuss this question: when China was newly established, why did it abandon the soldier-household system that had lasted for thousands of years and instead adopt a comprehensive recruitment system? ]

[First, it is an old question: what is the root cause of the difference between voluntary conscription and compulsory military service? ]

[South Korea is a small country with few people. Even if all citizens serve in the military, there is still a big gap in national defense. But look at China! ]

[In the 70 years since the founding of the country, even at its lowest point, the population was 600 million, and the number of young and middle-aged people reached a terrifying 100 million.]

[If all soldiers are forced to serve in the military, then something will happen soon that will be "welcome to all neighbors". There is not enough space for so many military districts and camps on the land of China.]

[A huge military force is like a beast that cannot be restrained. If you want to release it, you must prepare food that can satisfy its appetite! ]

A map of China appeared above the sky.

[If they were to enlist the troops en masse, the world would be shaken. A terrifying army of nearly 100 million people would be unleashed, and all the surrounding countries would not be able to withstand such an impact.]

[At that time, large-scale conflicts are inevitable. After all, facing such a huge force, countries around the world will not sit idly by. ]

[The power of one country against 200 countries in the world, China is not afraid, but there is really no need! ]

"One hundred million! One hundred million people!"

Listening to the information disclosed in the video, even though Li Shimin overestimated the future power of China, his heart still trembled violently.

"Wow, so many people? All soldiers? How many people do we have in the Tang Dynasty?"

Cheng Yaojin was also shocked speechless, and Yuchi Jingde, who had just been arguing with him, also fell into a long silence.

"It seems that the Tang Dynasty only has a million soldiers."

As soon as he said this, he felt incredible. When did the million-strong army become "only" in his mouth?

The group of civil officials next to them were focusing on another aspect. Chu Suiliang and Zhang Sun Wuji huddled together and whispered.

"This future China is so terrifying. How can it support so many people? Is there really some magic?

Or do we rely on those craftsmen and so-called technology? Shouldn’t we in the Tang Dynasty also look for some descendants of Mohists and craftsmen to study them carefully? "

Li Shimin listened to their whispers from above without showing any attitude.

Neither the huge army nor the terrifying military strength of China in the future could make his heart tremble. The only thing that made him tremble was that sentence - it is possible, but not necessary.

"This is the demeanor of a truly great country!"

Li Shimin sighed, if his Tang Dynasty could also reach this level, not to mention the Eastern Turks, even the whole world would be in his pocket!

The one who resonated with him was the Han Emperor Liu Che.

At this moment, the ambitious emperor was running back and forth in the hall, with an expression of shock and joy on his face.

"It's really scary that there will be so many people in China in the future. This kind of temperament of ignoring the world and being the only one who is superior to others is what I should pursue!"

Liu Che always regarded himself as the savior of the Han Dynasty. Anyone who could shout "If the enemy can go, I can go too" must have a blazing fire in his heart.

"Wei Qing! When do you think I can make the Han Dynasty have the same effect as this magic needle?"

As he spoke, a hint of longing appeared on Liu Che's face.

The Grand Marshal Wei Qing beside him understood his brother-in-law's mentality and quickly said:

"Your Majesty, as long as Qu Bing's Northern Expedition is successful, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner. By then, you will be able to establish achievements that are no less than those of China in the future!"

"Hahaha! Well said! Send a message to the front line, make sure to prepare for the logistical support of the Northern Expedition. I want the world to see the style of the Han Dynasty!"

The high-spirited Liu Che obviously formed a clear contrast with the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, scratched his head at this moment, looking at a group of founding generals with fiery eyes below, and actually felt an unprecedented difficulty.

"Your Majesty! Looking at the military might of China in the future, we old brothers still have to recruit soldiers! When the time comes, don't even mention the Khitan in the north, we will have to march west to the Western Regions!"

The young Pan Mei stepped forward and spoke on behalf of the group of military generals.

"That's right! Your Majesty! Give the order. We still have too few soldiers in the Song Dynasty. We need at least one million imperial guards! We only have 500,000 now, which is really not enough!"

Zhao Kuangyin was held by the generals below, silent and feeling bitter, he even felt a little resentful towards the sky above his head.

Why don't you just play something else? Why do you have to add fuel to the fire? He just gave up his military power and dismissed a large number of generals, but now he has been severely slapped in the face.

Not to mention, looking at the mighty and high-spirited army above the sky, he was also envious from the bottom of his heart.

But if he agreed, his previously prepared national policy of respecting culture and suppressing military power would be in jeopardy.

Before he could think about how to deal with this group of generals forcing him to abdicate, the scene on the sky curtain changed again, and a familiar voice-over sounded -

[Of course, this is just one of the considerations for the formation of China's military service system. The most important reason why China can boldly adopt the recruitment system is——]

[Since the founding of the country, the army has been given three-dimensional patriotic propaganda.

Let the soldiers know why they are fighting, let them understand the meaning of home, country and the world, let them know that their loved ones are behind them! 】

[This is why the Chinese army has been able to maintain a high level of combat effectiveness, and the voluntary military service system has been able to attract a large number of people! ]

[The world spreads martial arts, spreading martial virtues and sentiments, and what is harvested is a tenacious and invincible straight master! 】
