Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

For dinner that night, Yu Liang was invited to the same table with the commander, and there was still wine!

After drinking for three rounds, the commander asked Yu Liang how many people he could find. Yu Liang couldn't answer, he asked some more about going into battle, but the commander couldn't answer either.

The commander said: "We don't care about fighting."

Yu Liang wondered: "The imperial conscription is not for war, why?"

The commander said: "Brother Yu came here for the first time, and I don’t know something. Cao Gong ordered the establishment of the'Five Army Capital Governor's Mansion', including the Diaobing Army, the Commanding Army, the Qianliang Army, the Armament Army, and the Report Army, a total of five armies. We This is the commanding army, and now only recruits people, regardless of the war."

Yu Liang was a little confused, and muttered: "So that's it..."

The commander said: "There are three levels in the five-armed capital, and the capital is the capital; ten to fifteen states have provinces, and there is a commander, the state and the government have commanders. We are the commanders of the Kaifeng government. The branch department, now there is only the commanding army branch. The yamen is in the city, and they will move there when the repairs are done."

The commander smiled and said: "Brother Yu said before that he could not martial arts, so he didn't lie to him. The general's martial arts is also very sparse, but he is literate. Anyway, our generals in the military will not fight."

Yu Liang said in his heart, it's no wonder that Xiongtai is so easy to talk. It turned out to be a special person to pull people. He also politely said: "Where and where, the general is too modest."

The commander laughed and said: "Really desperate!" He seemed to see through Yu Liang's mind, and then said, "It's just a mile, we will still deal with each other in the future. The soldiers of the army must gather people to fight. We have to find all the people; when training, the mobilization army will send people to teach, and the brothers are still us."

Yu Liang frowned and said, "Don't you know the person who took us to battle?"

The commanding officer groaned: "You must know who the name is, you just need to be unfamiliar. But the people below the deputy commander are not separated from the family; whoever is unfamiliar at the top, the deputy commander, the chief, and the ten generals are all ordinary. Brothers I know...you care about who you are. Officials from the Reporting Army come to pass the military orders. Military orders with more than 100 people are all responsible for the Reporting Army. You can go wherever you ask and fight whatever you call. "

"That's true." Yu Liang agreed, because he didn't understand soldiers anyway.

The commander picked up the wine bowl, his face flushed, but he still spoke clearly, "There are some things, I have to make it clear to Brother Yu, you also have a profile when you recruit."

Yu Liang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I hope the general will tell you."

The commander said: "There is no military pay, and the officers below the deputy commander have no military pay."

Yu Liang: "..."

"If there is military pay, the imperial court will simply expand the ban, why bother?" The commander glanced at him: "It's not no good. As long as you are enrolled, there is no need for corvee, and the whole family does not need to have corvee or suffer. No, let’s take a step back. Even if someone takes money to hire someone for the corvette, they have to spend money, right?"

Yu Liang frowned and said, "That's true too."

He thought to himself: Lao Tzu is not trying to save that little money. Besides, since I am a student, I don't have to do corvee.

The commander said: "Usually, when you gather for training, the clothing and food are all from the public. After the training is over, some food, cloth, salt, etc. will be distributed and taken home. Anyway, when you are not training, everyone should plant the land. Farming, doing the work of the craftsman, do the work of the craftsman, reading and studying without delay...

If it's a war? This is the big head! Before the army is transferred, some relocation allowances will be issued. After the battle is completed, the military merit level will be rewarded. The money and the money will be directly issued by the Qianliangjun. It is clear that you are not deceived. It is completely possible to rely on this to buy land and property!

Dead and disabled, there is a pension, and the emperor's money comes from the library. If Neiku doesn't have any money, the emperor will use the ‘official’ land to pay for it.

Those who are scared of poverty, as long as they are willing to give up their lives, doing this is a business that does not lose money. "

Yu Liang was stunned.

The commander also said kindly: "Brother Yu is different from ordinary soldiers, and your future is even greater. Work hard, and if you have merited, you need to ask for money or an official, and you must be an official. Once you break through the rank of deputy commander, Then really eat the royal food for a lifetime!

In the Ministry of Rites, if you pass the test, you will be transferred to a civil officer. If you fail to pass the test, you will stay at the Five Army Capital Governor's Mansion. No matter which army you go to, they are all generals who receive salaries. People who command the army like this commander don’t need to fight, just take care of people. What’s the difference with officials? "

After listening, Yu Liang nodded vigorously, this is what he wants, the way to progress!

...

Jiangning Mansion, it's already night, the autumn rain on the long street is pattering, the light of the lanterns has also become hazy, giving birth to a sense of coldness.

Cao Bin was still watching the dossier under the lights in the "Five Army Governor's Mansion".

He looked tired and didn't sleep well for many days.

A young girl brought up the tea and said in a low voice: "A Lang will take a rest."

"Humph." Cao Bin didn't answer.

Although most people in this township army don't pay military pay, Cao Bin probably calculated it again, and the emperor paid the money. If you do it, most of the emperor Neiku's belongings will be smashed in it, can you spare yourself?

However, Cao Bin also found this to be a huge opportunity. As the matter is of great importance, if the job is done, as the first helm of the "Five Army Capital Governor's Mansion", I am afraid that he is even more prestigious than the Tang Dynasty "Generals and Ministers", and the prime minister will have to give three points when he meets him!

The matter is very important, not just the establishment of a military government and a Jiangnan camp.

Cao Bin carefully studied the chapters and articles of the Privy Council’s "Military Order" under the light. This is a general strategy at the national policy level.

It is not only the formation of 100,000 soldiers, but 100,000 horses are only the first batch. The Privy Council meant to expand the manpower resources on a large scale and implement a three-tier strategy to explore the potential of war.

The first level is the local army. Soldiers in the military can be directly conscripted into an army to fight.

The second level is the soldiers who have been deregistered. After three years of citizenship, some people will go to the military and return to the civil status. But they have fought in the army, and they can be used when they gather together. As long as the court has money and lacks troops, they can recruit soldiers for army.

The third layer is unregistered soldiers. The Five-Army Capital Governor’s Mansion will successively organize and train men over the age of sixteen throughout the world, so that they know how to use simple weapons, understand military techniques, and have experience in marching formations. In wartime, as long as you give money, you can recruit for concentrated training as the army.

Cao Bin thinks this is a crazy national policy, and it is not an exaggeration for the civil servants to criticize the military. How else is it called "Military Order"?

But once this national policy is successful, Da Zhou will definitely become a powerful country by force. As long as there is money and food, the imperial court can invest wealth and national power in military affairs... Is this what Guo Shao occasionally mentioned, to transform national power?

Cao Bin picked up another stack of papers, all of which were the list of generals recommended by the guards Ma Busi and Dianqiansi. Most of them were the lower camp generals who had been driven to Tuntian by streamlining the imperial army. These people will serve as military commanders of the "Commander Division".

Now Cao Bin wants to establish the command and envoy branch of the provinces and state capitals first.

Just now I thought that the matter was of great importance, that even the official structure was changed by the military order. Previously, the local system of the dynasties mainly inherited the two-level official system of prefectures and counties since the Qin Dynasty; the state government (the more important state-level government, called the government, such as Kaifeng government), the county two-level government.

Now there is one more "province" directly under the central government, which belongs to the third-level government. Now there are only provincial commanders, but they are always higher than state and county agencies.

Cao Bin felt that it was a bit similar to the Tang Dynasty's Jiedushi, but not so powerful. All commanders only control the troops, and only have the power to command the troops; the power to transfer troops, money and food, and armory are not in the locality. There is no right to interfere in local governance, taxation, etc., because the Five Army Dudufu and the Sixth Department of Zhengshitang belong to two different government offices.

There is also the "Reporter Army" of the five-armed capital governor's house, which is very special. It belongs to the capital governor's house. Cao Bin guessed that in addition to ordinary serving officials, there were also undercover agents from the Privy Council "Bing Cao Si"... He had heard of Bing Cao Si, a nearly faceless yamen, who did this job!

Unknowingly, in the middle of the night, Cao Bin fell asleep.

The attendant outside wanted to come in to see if the tea was cold, but when he saw Cao Bin lying on the table, he was asleep, so he found a blanket to cover him.

Early the next morning, Cao Bin washed properly and rushed to the lobby to meet with the generals for an early discussion.

The generals had already arrived early, and they were waiting there. After a courtesy, Cao Bin asked everyone to sit down on both sides. A military commander said: "I saw Daying campus outside the city. There is not enough land. The officials of Jiangning Mansion refused to let us build them. They also said that we should seize the private land! What should we do?"

When the military commanders listened, they scolded their mothers. Cao Bin put two black lines on his forehead. These military fighters were indeed not as polite as the civilian officials.

Someone yelled, "We made all of the Southern Tang Dynasty. We won't let you build a battalion? Who blocks and kills who!"

Cao Bin said: "If a civil uprising is triggered, who of you will end it? Jiangnan has nothing to do. Let's fight a counter-insurgency war here first?"

At this moment, there was finally a general who knew what was good or bad. The general of UU reading www.uukanshu.com clasped his fists and said: "We can't control the officials of Jiangning Mansion, but if Cao Gong goes to Han Xizai, it may be helpful. "

Someone immediately agreed: "By the way, Han Xizai is very prestigious in Jiangnan, and all officials respect him; Han Xizai has won the favor of the officials, otherwise he can be an official in the Jiangnan we occupy! Cao Gong is an emperor, and Han Xizai should show some face."

The crowd agreed for a while.

Unexpectedly, Qianniu Beishen Lu Duan, who was accompanying him on the road, said: "It's better to find Han Xizai than Chen Qiao."

"Huh?" Cao Bin was thoughtful, after thinking about it and asking what happened.

Lu Duan said: "Jiangnan Shilin respected Han Xizai, but Han Xizai also had to take care of the Jiangnan people. This matter made him come forward, but it made him confused. Chen Qiao is different. This person has a bad relationship in Jiangnan officialdom, but he is a local Jiangnan. An official, an official in Jiangning Mansion. With his deeds protecting Lin Renzhao back then, as long as he is fair and righteous, he will help Cao Gong handle the matter."

After hearing this, Cao Bin nodded and said yes, and said: "See you, Chen Qiao."
