Chapter 278 The Long-term Direction of Military System Reform
Li Shimin thought for a while, and then said: "The method is not bad, and it is indeed worth considering deeply." However, if this move is really implemented, a group of people will have to be replaced every few years, and this will make the soldiers unfamiliar, the soldiers will not be able to understand the general's temperament in commanding operations, and the generals will not know the combat ability of their own group of soldiers. ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "If you just do this, it must be as Your Majesty said." Therefore, this method also requires the cooperation of many different parties. For example, by screening those who enlist in the armed forces on a uniform basis and conducting standardized military training for the same combat branch, it is possible to basically ensure that the capabilities of each batch of combatants are not much different. In addition, military discipline was strengthened, obedience to orders was inculcated as a soldier's duty, and then a clear set of military ranks was established, and on the premise that the mistakes of superior officers could not be determined, the lower ranks of soldiers were made to strictly obey the orders of generals higher than their own rank. In this way, this problem may be solved through the cooperation of many parties. ”
"Not bad!" Li Shimin nodded happily: "However, what Xia Qing said does not seem to be in line with our military system." In our military system, the government soldiers cultivated the land in peacetime, trained in agricultural gaps, and fought in the army in wartime. The government soldiers need to bring their own weapons and horses to participate in the war, and the local prefectures are responsible for training. If it is as Xia Qing said, the iron-clad camp, wouldn't these have to rely on the imperial court to support? In this case, who is in charge of farming? ”
"Yes, that's why Wei Chen said that this method won't work now. If this method is to be carried out, it must be changed from the government military system to the conscription system. It's just that with today's national strength, it is really difficult to implement the method of recruitment, so this move can only be regarded as a long-term goal. For now, it is to remain the same. Xia Hongsheng nodded and said.
The most important feature of the government military system is the integration of soldiers and peasants, which not only saves the country's military expenditure, but also guarantees economic and agricultural construction. But with the development of Datang. The root of the government and soldiers, the equalization of land has its own limitations, and the land annexation will only become more and more serious, and the government and military system will no longer be suitable for the development of society. In fact, after Tang Gaozong, there were frequent wars, the defense line was extended, and the military service was heavy. The soldiers fled. Moreover, in the early Tang Dynasty, he inherited the legacy of the previous generation and respected the guards, but when he arrived in the Martial Queen, the guards were often borrowed by the nobles and bureaucrats as private servants, which led to the shame of serving as government soldiers in society, and the social status of government soldiers was even lower, and land annexation became more and more serious. The government soldiers were mainly conscripted and issued to the peasants of the land, and with the destruction of the system of the land. The government military conscription system has lost the economic conditions on which it depends. As a result, the number of government soldiers fleeing in the middle of the Tang Dynasty increased day by day, so that there was a shortage of guards in Fanshang, and it was more difficult to deploy the conquest and defense.
Therefore, later, the conscription system became the main conscription system, and the conscription system recruited men by the state to serve as soldiers and provide food and clothing. Exemption from enlistment. This lightened the burden of military service on the peasants, saved the consumption of government soldiers and roads, was conducive to the development of production, and the feudal state was able to build a strong army. Just doing so will inevitably require the support of a strong national force. to be able to afford so many recruits. Moreover, the soldiers of the conscription system take serving as soldiers as their profession, and the generals command an army for a long time, and there is a subordinate relationship between the generals and generals, which will inevitably lead to the formation of warlords. This is back to the method proposed by Xia Hongsheng before, the iron battalion, and the flowing soldiers.
Therefore, these are all linked to each other, and they can only be slowly promoted together, and one of them cannot be promoted separately.
This is also the reason why Xia Hongsheng said that it can only be used as a long-term direction, and cannot be implemented immediately.
Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, what Xia Qing said is reasonable, this matter must not be rushed for a while, but it can be a long-term direction, but it cannot be implemented." ”
"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. Many times, when the first step is taken, the next step is naturally to know where to go. Xia Hongsheng said in a wide voice: "After the military academy is formally established, Weichen will also strengthen the ideological and political education of the cadets, and the existing middle and lower-level officers, Your Majesty can also let them enter the military academy in the name of advanced study to receive ideological and political education, and the effect is still very good." Your Majesty, look at the people in the spy camp, they are living examples. ”
"Well, I'm in a bit of a hurry." Li Shimin nodded and said, "In this way, Xia Qing will go and get busy by himself." The affairs of the military academy must not be delayed, as well as the test of your house, the craftsmen's equipment required, etc., can be handed over to other schools for the time being. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Hongsheng bowed and bowed, and then exited the imperial study.
With Li Shimin's approval, Xia Hongsheng can give it a try without scruples to see if he can use the existing conditions to come to the building. It doesn't need to be too high, it's enough to be able to reach three floors. If you can't reach three floors, it's good to be able to reach two.
Xia Hongsheng hurriedly walked out, and as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he heard a voice first: "Young Master Xia!" ”
Hearing this voice, Xia Hongsheng suddenly froze, then turned around, and saw Li Lizhen coming from there, so he bowed down and said, "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
"Lizhi was about to go over to play with her sisters, but she didn't want to meet Xia Hongsheng here." Li Lizhi said to Xia Hongsheng with a smile, and then raised the thing in his hand, it was a badminton racket, but it was not the one that Xia Hongsheng made for Xu Hui, it seems that they played together, and then Li Lizhen made it herself.
"Playing badminton is good for the body, and it's also good to exercise more, the princess can exercise every day, and it can also make people feel cheerful." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to Li Li.
Li Lizhi nodded and said, "Well, Lizhi knows." Doctor Sun said that Lizhi's body is weak and needs to be conditioned and exercised diligently, otherwise, I am afraid that she will be weak and sick in the future! ”
"Since Doctor Sun said it, the princess should be obedient and do it. Exercising every day can indeed enhance your physique, and if the princess persists, she will be able to feel the effect after a month. Xia Hongsheng said with a smile. Maybe it's because I've just exercised, and Li Lizhi seems to be a little more cheerful at this time.
But I heard Li Lizhi say again: "I happened to meet Xia Gongzi here, why don't Xia Hongsheng accompany Lizhi to play for a while?" My sisters don't know how to do it yet! ”
Xia Hongsheng was a little surprised that Li Lizhen, who was so shy and introverted, would invite him. Xia Hongsheng was faintly strange, but he didn't know what was going on, but seeing Li Lizhi's seemingly sunny smile, he couldn't bear to refuse.
"This ...... Be! Obey! Xia Hongsheng nodded, and the two went to the Imperial Garden, found an open place, and played badminton.
Xia Hongsheng naturally doesn't need to say it, but Li Li's playing skills have made Xia Hongsheng a little impressed. It is said that she should have come into contact with this thing late, but the technology is much better than Xu Hui. Xia Hongsheng also met his opponent, and the two played heartily.
It wasn't until the other princesses came over that the two stopped, handed the badminton racket to the other princesses to play with, and sat down next to them to rest.
Li Lizhi's face was ruddy at this time, and there were still beads of sweat on her face after exercise, she was still so soft, but she felt less gloomy and more sunny.
"Xia Gongzi, I heard that ......" Li Lizhi sat next to Xia Hongsheng and asked a little crampedly: "I heard that you made this object for Sister Hui'er alone?" ”
Xia Hongsheng was even more cramped, obviously there was a corridor between the two, but he still felt embarrassed. Hearing her ask, he nodded: "Yes, I promised her before, and I can't break my promise!" ”
Li Lizhi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That...... That...... Lizhi has a reluctant request, I don't know ...... Xia Gongzi"
"What does the princess command?" Xia Hongsheng asked.
"Xia Gongzi...... I don't know if I can ...... Why don't you just give and make one thing for Lizhi? Li Lizhi lowered her head slightly and asked cautiously.
That timid appearance instantly led Xia Hongsheng to a sense of guilt in his heart for no reason, as if he had done something wrong and was sorry for her. After thinking about it, he replied, "Okay." ”
Hearing that Xia Hongsheng agreed, Li Lizhen immediately showed a happy look: "Thank you to Mr. Xia!" ”
Xia Hongsheng waved his hand, and said in his heart that cork is really a good thing, cut into a circle, and make a table tennis ball.
After resting there for a while, saying some words, and sweating, Xia Hongsheng said goodbye to Li Li and left.
Out of the palace, Xia Hongsheng went to the military aircraft workshop. The military aircraft workshop was originally directly supervised by Yan Lide, but in addition to Yan Lide, Xia Hongsheng can also be regarded as the number two person in it. Because Yan Lide is actually not very in charge, he is not disrespectful, as long as he doesn't understand these things, he almost gives full authority to Xia Hongsheng. The roller skating groups and tools used by Xia Hongsheng in the military academy were all from the hands of the military aircraft workshop. At the same time, Xia Hongsheng's Zhuangzi provided glass, and the military aircraft workshop was also constantly making and hoarding telescopes, waiting to be equipped with them in the army.
When he arrived at the military aircraft workshop, he happened to meet Yan Lide there, he was an architectural expert in the Tang Dynasty, and Xia Hongsheng immediately took out the drawings to discuss with him. Yan Lide also insisted that this kind of architect couldn't make it, and Xia Hongsheng didn't explain much to him, facts speak louder than words, and he would know when the time came.
Knowing that this move was approved by the emperor, Yan Lide no longer dissuaded him, Xia Hongsheng ordered some equipment from the military machine workshop, and then left, and then asked his people from Zhuangzi to move it. As for the people who built the house, there are ready-made craftsmen in the military academy that Xia Hongsheng found from his Zhuangzi, and now they are able to skillfully operate these new equipment, and it is the engineering team under Xia Hongsheng's hands, with the fastest speed, you can see the real estate of the test in a few weeks.
