Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 456 Military Reform
Fusu held the memorial in his hand and sighed deeply.

This memorial was written by Li Zhan, Li Si's second son, which stated Li Si's illness.

Since the last court meeting, Li Si has been completely bedridden.

Fusu doesn't know, this is Li Si's heart disease.

However, Fusu estimated that it would take two or three years to restore the title of emperor, and it would take seven or eight years.

Only when the world is completely peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, can the emperor title have value.

However, I don't know if Li Si can survive until that time!

Sighing slightly in his heart, Fu Su immediately sorted out his thoughts. At present, Qin's reforms have been gradually pushed away, and various reform measures are being implemented steadily under Xiao He's leadership.

At this time, Fusu also had some other thoughts in his heart.

The reform of the military system is bound to be carried out, especially the military system in the North.

The two battles ended with the victory of the Qin State, plus the new army trained by Fusu before, they also had a lot of gains on the grassland.

It can be said that in recent years, most of Qin's foreign wars have been carried out by the new army trained by Fusu.

The victories in these battles have already proved the combat power of Qin's new army. Therefore, Fusu has enough reasons to reform the military system.

Although Fusu had already made some changes to the military system before, such as the distribution of combat merit and other issues, those were ultimately limited to very small aspects.

Moreover, the scope of implementation is also extremely small. In the words of later generations, Fusu first set up a pilot project.

And these pilots, of course, are undoubtedly the new army of Qin.

Today, the feedback from these pilot projects is excellent. Although there are some disadvantages, they are completely harmless.

The reform of the military system naturally means the innovation of tactics. This point has been fully implemented and implemented by the new army trained by Fusu.

For example, in terms of ideology, Fusu's request is no longer to attack the city and seize land. There is no need to worry too much about the gains and losses of every inch of land. The only goal that generals should pursue is to destroy the enemy's vital forces to the greatest extent.

This point is precisely something that famous generals of all dynasties have known well since ancient times.

And Fusu just made it clear.

For example, Bai Qi attacked Chu, South Korea, Wei, and Zhao. He directly wiped out and killed all the military forces of these vassal states, and finally created the reputation of "human slaughter".

It made all the nations feel frightened and paralyzed when they heard the word Bai Qi.

And those countries that have lost their youth and strength can no longer organize forces to compete with Qin.

Another example is Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the imperial double jades of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing's tactics are not very obvious, so Huo Qubing is the full implementation of destroying the enemy's vital forces.

Attacking the Xiongnu's lair directly at the speed of the wind and lightning, attacking one place, and immediately attacking the next place, galloping wantonly in the Huns' lair, such a method of warfare, the Xiongnu could not bear it at all.

Because in terms of population, the Huns were far behind the population of the Han Dynasty, and they couldn't stand the toss.

Another more typical example is the great men of later generations.

Whether it is dealing with the little devils or the fruit party, this war strategy has been fully implemented and has achieved extremely high results.

The so-called "It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt the enemy's ten fingers", the truth is self-evident.

The old military system of the Qin State, to be precise, is reflected in this aspect, such as the system of military meritorious titles.

Get a head of the enemy on the battlefield, you can get a noble.

But Qin State was once one of the vassal states after all, once it comes to the acquisition of higher titles, it is very difficult to be beheaded.

After all, in the system established by Shang Yang, the number of beheads must be subtracted from the number of casualties of one's own side to be counted as military merit.

If this one is not done well, it may easily lead to the title being directly rolled over.

Therefore, it mostly depends on the cities and lands captured. In the records of history books, it often shows that a general's outstanding record is to take a few cities and collect them.

This is precisely the result of old thinking.

If Bai Qi's Battle of Changping was just to conquer the land, rather than wipe out the entire Zhao army, then the content of the Battle of Changping would undoubtedly drop a few notches.

Others, such as the issue of credit distribution, etc., in fact, through the two battles, some problems were exposed, but it was precisely what Fusu hoped to see that these problems could be exposed.

Only when a problem is exposed can there be a chance to solve it.

If it came to the time when Fusu decided to sweep the world, and then the problems broke out again, it would really drive Fusu crazy.

In addition, the promotion in the army is no longer simply based on military achievements, but also on the assessment of military skills, arithmetic and so on.

In the past, perhaps after a great battle, it was possible for some soldiers to rise from scratch to two or three ranks because of their personal bravery.

But in the next war, due to various reasons, it is entirely possible that it will be fought back to its original shape.

Naturally, reforms in this area cannot be accomplished overnight. Needless to say, most of the new army have been able to meet such requirements.

Among them, the Habayashi Army is even more extravagant, even a small pawn can do so.

However, in the old army of the Qin State, at the rank of captain, there may be many people who can read, write, and count.

The gap between the two is naturally not the same.

Fortunately, at present, Fusu still has such conditions.

To achieve the above goals, naturally, a group of capable scholars is needed, especially, the loyalty to the state of Qin must be guaranteed.

Others, such as paper issues, font issues, etc.

Each item can be said to be full of difficulties, but for Fusu, some of them have already overcome most of them.

For example, Fusu has roughly solved the most difficult problem of scholars.

Of the orphans brought back from the Northland, the elite among them were naturally selected into the Habayashi Army, but those who were eliminated and placed among the ordinary people would stand out from the crowd.

After all, in this era, being able to read and write is already reserved for the rich and powerful.

Without a certain social status, it is impossible to read and practice calligraphy at all. However, these orphans were all raised by the royal family from the very beginning when Fusu brought them back from the north.

The reading and writing part is naturally the content that Fusu focuses on.

It can be said that these people were forced by Fusu to use the status and resources of the royal family to open a hole.

And the loyalty of these orphans to Daqin is naturally beyond doubt.

And in the process of teaching, how could Fusu not pay attention to the content of the teaching?Naturally, the loyalty of these orphans to Qin was strengthened again.

To be precise, anyone would betray Qin, but these orphans would not.
