Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reform of the Military System

Although Li Er knows that the military system reform that Zhang Nan is talking about now is not very realistic, he still has to let Zhang Nan continue to speak, not for anything else, just to let these ministers have a mental preparation, every change will have extremely great resistance, so it is better to speak out first, and it is also a good choice to slowly resolve the resistance.

"I don't know what is wrong with the military system of this government that Lord Zhang said, this military system has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and the old man doesn't think there is anything wrong." It was Xiao Yu who spoke, after all, this is a ruthless man who has worshiped the prime minister six times and quit the prime minister, Zhang Nan has been in good spirits, and it is not easy to convince this great god.

"Since Lord Xiao wants to know, that kid will dare to say it." Zhang Nan arched his hand and continued.

"Let's briefly introduce these two military systems, the government military system, farmers in leisure time, soldiers in wartime, conscription if the country is useful, and dismissal if it is useless. The conscription system, the country raises the army, whether it is idle or wartime, it exists, it is a soldier, for the conscription system, the soldier is not only an identity, but also a profession. ”

"The old man thinks that this conscription system is simply ridiculous, why should he join the army in his spare time, it is better to go to farming, increase food production, if the country still has to support the army in his spare time, it should be a big expenditure for the treasury, and it is an unnecessary expense." Xiao Yu said.

"Master Xiao is not in a hurry, and listen to the kid speak slowly. This military system is naturally beneficial to the conscription system. The first point is that the army is not prone to rebellion. These people usually farm at home, and they only gather together when there is a war, and they don't know their comrades-in-arms first, and they don't know their superiors second. There is no way to talk about this rebellion. The second point is that the cost of the state is relatively low, and the military expenses are paid by the soldiers themselves, which can save a lot of expenses. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Since Lord Zhang knows that there are such benefits, why do you want to change the military system?" Xiao Yu was also confused by Zhang Nan, why did the people who want to change the military system still insist that the government military system is good? And that's right.

"There are advantages to this, and naturally there are disadvantages to it. Next, I will talk about the shortcomings of this military system. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he cleared his throat and said.

"The army usually farms at home, and the court can't always call people out for training, and the veterans with rich combat experience gradually withered. The descendants of the veterans have grown up in peace, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as before. Peace also wears out their will, and the likelihood of such people going to war and winning the battle is getting lower and lower. After Zhang Nan said this, the people who were born as military generals couldn't stop nodding, and even Li Er, who was sitting above, showed a thoughtful expression.

"The second point is that with the development of the economy, the concentration of land is becoming more and more serious, which means that more and more farmers have lost their land. There's no denying that land annexation is a big issue, and I don't think you can deny it. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, the officials in the court all nodded.

"As mentioned earlier, the obligation to serve as a soldier arises with the allocation of land by the state. Now that the state no longer gives me land, why should I fight for the country? Such landed tycoons began to evade military service, and landless peasants began to refuse military service. The source of soldiers in the government military system has become a big problem. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, the court began to discuss again, after all, the annexation of land has always existed, even if it is not said, it also exists objectively, and the reason Zhang Nan said is irrefutable.

"I'm going to talk about the benefits of this conscription system. The most important point is that the army has strong combat effectiveness, and people are professional soldiers, who go out to cut people during working hours and practice cutting people in their spare time. It is impossible not to be strong in combat. As soon as Zhang Nan's words came out, everyone was amused, and even Xiao Yu, who opposed the change, laughed and scolded: "Crooked reason, crooked reason." ”

And the military generals group is collectively happy, after all, who doesn't like their subordinates to be strong in combat?

"The second point is that the problem of the source of soldiers is easy to solve, as I said earlier, those peasants who have lost their land, otherwise they will starve to death, it is better to cut people, even if they are hacked to death, they will die of fullness."

"In that case, let's ask Lord Zhang to talk about the shortcomings of this recruitment system." Although Zhang Nan didn't want to talk about the shortcomings, Xiao Yu still remembered it.

Zhang Nan smiled awkwardly and said in his heart: "This didn't fool you." But he said, "Then I will talk about the shortcomings of this conscription system." ”

"The first point is that the army loves to rebel, and whoever gives money listens to whom, it is originally a soldier to eat food, and whoever eats food is the same. But this is a very easy solution, that is, the ideological and political class, the emperor, do you know that those people you see I have trained are likely to rebel? I think even they are more loyal than your Qianniuwei. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Li Er took over and said.

"That's right, I'm not very worried about this rebellion, this ideological and political class will solve it."

"Okay, that's the first problem. Then there is the second problem, in fact, the second problem is a derivative of the first problem, if the first one does not exist, then there will definitely be no second one, the second problem is that quelling the rebellion after the rebellion is a big military expenditure, but I don't think there will be this problem. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Master Zhang can't help but be too confident in his so-called ideological and political class." Xiao Yu said on the side. "Although this recruitment system is good, but the generals who lead the troops, the old man asks you, this military power is in your hands, do you dare to take it?" Xiao Yu also really dared to say it, and casually put the emperor's suspicion on the surface, no wonder he was dismissed six times, Zhang Nan thought angrily in his heart.

Generals, look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, after all, even if Li Er really hands over the military power to himself, he will not dare to take it, after all, they still understand the truth that the husband is not guilty and guilty.

"This problem is easy to solve, suppose we recruit 4,000 people, we have four generals, we divide the 4,000 people into four teams, the generals each lead a team, and each team is personally selected by the emperor to send a political commissar, the political commissar is directly subordinate to the emperor, or establish a separate department, called the General Political Department, with the emperor as the minister, and all political commissars are sent by the General Political Department. In addition to military tasks that obey the generals, the daily work is subject to the political commissars, and the matching teams of the generals and the political commissars are changed every two years, and the generals who lead the troops are changed every three to five years, so that the army's high combat effectiveness can be maintained and the risks can be minimized. ”

"In addition to the General Political Department, the General Staff Department can also be set up to plan the country's strategic layout and pool wisdom, so as to avoid the problem of one-word words in combat."

After Zhang Nan proposed this General Staff Headquarters and the General Political Department, Li Er had only one idea in his heart, which was to open Zhang Nan's head and see how Zhang Nan's head grew and could come up with such a wonderful attention.
