Chapter 58 Combination of military and government
Xu Ping looked at Wang Tu and asked Shi Yannian on the side: "It is the time to employ people in the army, and since Dianzhi has made military merits in Lingnan, there is naturally a position in the army." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, before joining the army, I still need to find a ministry to transition and understand the situation here in Qinzhou. Manqing, where do you think it is appropriate? ”
Shi Yannian said: "Now that the army is training the soldiers, it is indeed a little inappropriate to go in." Or, in the first quality hospital? Didn't Liu Zhiyuan find someone to go there recently and teach those proton techniques? ”
"It's okay, let's go to the Nazhi Courtyard first!" Xu Ping couldn't help but laugh when he heard Shi Yannian's words, "It's not for people to teach the art of technical attack, what are those protons doing when they learn this?" It's about teaching them some techniques to strengthen their bodies. The previous training of those protons was the same as in the army, and Liu Jian proposed that this was inappropriate. Protons are always Qiang, who can guarantee that they will definitely have their hearts set on the court in the future? There was some truth in this, so they let them change it from then on. Since Wang Tu has been learning fencing since childhood, it is appropriate to teach this. ”
Originally, Xu Pingding was that the protons in the Nazhi Courtyard had nothing to do with their clan from now on, and they were also arranged by the Marshal Mansion and Qinzhou to do things, and there was nothing to train like in the army. Who knows that there are a few tribes that want to welcome the proton back to the clan, and most of them are leaders, which is a bit inappropriate. The Qiang tribe has a large number of people, and the biggest reason for their poor combat effectiveness is, of course, that they are not united, but they do not have a battle formation, and their lack of discipline is also one of the reasons. It's all good in Nazhiyuan, but who knows what they'll think when they return to the clan? If you train the strong men of your own clan according to the method taught, not to mention rebelling against the court, you will also take advantage of the conflict with other tribes, but I am afraid that there will be no trouble. Therefore, Liu Jian proposed that they could no longer be trained in the army, and Xu Ping wanted to strengthen their discipline by training, so he thought of a way to strengthen their physical fitness.
Wang Tu thanked him, he was not familiar with the situation in Qinzhou, no matter where he went, he would talk about it first.
Xu Ping said: "When you go to the Nazhi Academy, you just get acquainted with the geography and people of Qinzhou first, and when the time comes, you still have to be transferred to the army." There is also a shortage of people in the army, but the recent reorganization of the Tibetan army makes it difficult to add people to it. ”
The Fan army is actually a village soldier, but they are all drawn from the Tibetan department, and they use the name of the Fan soldier. According to Xu Ping's plan, with the Xuanwei Army and the Guiming Shenwu Army as the core, all mobile forces must be integrated, and the Fan Army is no exception. In recent months, while the forbidden army has been training itself, it has also begun to draw people from the Tibetan army to supplement the two mobile corps.
The basic principle of the whole training is to select people from among the forbidden army according to the method of selecting people from the box army. The selected ones were given the treatment of the official forbidden army, and were given money and food, and horses, swords, sticks, and armor were bought by the military at their own expense, and they were no longer allowed to bring their own. Correspondingly, these selected soldiers are no longer non-full-time soldiers, but are directly scattered and integrated into the forbidden army to expand the strength of the forbidden army.
In the past, the main force of the Qinzhou cavalry came from Fanluo, with about 7,000 horsemen, divided into 17 commands. These cavalrymen were the first to be included in the forbidden army sequence, and the treatment they were given was also extremely generous. The reason why such an important force was placed in the Fan soldiers in the past was because the imperial court did not want to spend money, and the Fan soldiers prepared their own horses and armor, and they did not have money. At present, food and other materials are not sufficient, and there is absolutely no shortage of money, so there is no need. With the material support of the three bureaus, the purchasing power of paper money is not lower than that of copper coins, and Xu Ping can afford to raise soldiers. Fan Qiang values wealth and goods, and everything is fine when they give money, and they do not reject this.
As for the other soldiers, they are selected according to the type of soldier, height, weight, strength, etc. In fact, it is a simple physical examination in this era, which is inherited from ancient to modern, and the forbidden army has already established a law, so you can do it.
The remaining Fan soldiers were selected, because the familiar areas they came from had been merged into villages, and they no longer retained the number of the Fan soldiers, and they were directly changed to township soldiers, which were controlled by the local prefectures and counties of Qinzhou. If there are thieves, they rely on the walled fort for defense, and they usually work in agriculture in peacetime, and train and teach when the farmers are not working, which is actually the militia of this era, which is the normal system in the interior of the Song Dynasty.
The operation was mainly based on the mobile forbidden army units in the field, with the cooperation of the local van army and the township soldiers as supplements. After the completion of the training, the shortage of the forbidden army will be selected from the box army, the lack of the box army will be filled from the township soldiers, and the lack of township soldiers will be made up from the civilian strong men. In the event of a war, the forbidden army will fight, the van army will ensure logistical security or cope with some unimportant combat tasks, and the township soldiers will protect their homes.
This was the original intention of the division of the forbidden army, the box army and the township soldiers, but later the combat strength of the forbidden army and the box army was seriously degraded, which made the combat power of the township soldiers prominent, so that the trend of thinking of changing the recruitment of troops to conscription arose. The professionalization and specialization of the armed forces is a normal law of development, and the conscription system cannot save the armed forces from a crisis.
In Xu Ping's previous life, this organizational structure had a name called "three combinations" and played an important role in various wars. The system is dead, and only by giving full play to the potential of the system can the desired results be achieved.
Seeing that it was still early, Xu Ping said to Shi Yannian and Wang Tu: "If there is nothing to do, let's go to the Nazhi Courtyard together and explain." Some of the affairs there also have to be arranged to see how they are arranged. ”
Shi Yannian knew that Xu Ping had been busy with affairs recently, and seeing that he still had to take the time to go to the Nazhi Courtyard, he couldn't help but be curious: "Jieshuai, the left and right people in the Nazhi Courtyard are just some Fanluo protons, and most of them are familiar households. There is no one in the Yuzang Huama Department who wants to make trouble, how do you think of it to go and see it? You are busy with military affairs, and if you have nothing else to do, I will take the king there. ”
Xu Ping smiled and said to Shi Yannian: "There are not only protons locked up in the Nazhi Courtyard, but also Zhang Zai is engaged in the well field system there, which is a bit interesting." It is naturally impossible for the well field to be promoted to the whole country, but for the camp field affairs, whether it is suitable or not is two words, and it is necessary to go and see. ”
Whether the Jingtian system was a system really implemented in the Zhou Dynasty or not is not extensive, and it is necessary to say two things. To really put forward this system and rise to the fundamental height of the world, it should start from Mencius, the so-called "benevolent government must start from the meridian boundary".
Jang Jae is very obsessed with the well field system and believes that it is the fundamental way to solve the problems encountered by the country now. This includes two aspects, one is to collect the land under the world as state-owned, and then distribute the land evenly according to households, that is, one husband and one hundred mu in the well field system. But like Li Jing, he believes that there is no need for public land to exist, and it can be changed to collect taxes. On the other hand, after the implementation of the well-field system, it is possible to integrate the military with the government, integrate the military with the government, and use the military establishment to manage agriculture. According to the organizational structure of the army, they work as farmers in peacetime, and when they encounter war, they put down their hoes and take up arms to fight.
Xu Ping always felt that the well field theory of these two people seemed familiar, and if he thought about it carefully, wasn't this the land reform in his previous life? Historically, Zhang Zai did not dream about this, but devoted his life to putting it into practice, of course, in the end there was no result. Did the Song Dynasty do this in history? On the eve of the fall of the dynasty, they really put it into practice, but the result did not save the country, but after the Mongols occupied the Southern Song Dynasty, they saved a lot of effort and directly rewarded the state-owned land collected by the Song Dynasty.
Historical materialism stresses that the productive forces determine the relations of production and the economic base determines the superstructure, and one thing is very important, that is, this is an objective law and is not subject to human will. Why did the feudal state represent the class interests of the landlords? It is very funny to explain from the aspect that the ruler himself is a landlord, and it is a subjective idealist method to interpret the objective materialist laws of history, and to vulgarize and simplify the laws of history.
The reason why the feudal state represents the interests of the landlord class is an objective law is that it is limited by the level of productive forces, and it must proceed from the standpoint of the landlord class to govern in order to ensure the stable development of the country, and it has nothing to do with whether the ruler himself is a landlord or not. Now that I think about it, the history textbooks I learned in my previous life talked about class antagonism, and it didn't make sense to talk about which officials owned how much land. According to the historical materialist viewpoint mentioned at the beginning of the textbook, it should be analyzed from the level of productive forces and the social foundation of the time, and the state does not represent the position of the landlord class, which will cause greater confusion, and this is the materialist viewpoint.
With the development of productive forces, private ownership has emerged, and the level of agricultural productivity has been limited, and the highest efficiency can be obtained by the smallholder production mode of one household. However, at this level of productivity, it is unrealistic for the political power to directly manage the peasants from household to household, and the management costs cannot be borne by the society.
The political foundation is built on the level of the productive forces, and there is no revolutionary development of the productive forces. Forcing it down will only cause even more chaos. In Xu Ping's land reform in his previous life, if the productivity was not enough, the land was directly divided into one household, and when the productivity was up, it was changed to collective labor. Collective mobilization is based on the large-scale promotion of tractors, threshers and other large agricultural tools, and once they begin to be subcontracted to households, these large agricultural tools are distributed to several households, and agricultural mutual aid groups are formed on this basis. After the destruction of these large farm tools, the mutual aid group also collapsed, and the production work was completely carried out on a household basis.
In this era, of course, there was no well-field system or land reform, and the basis of the productive forces of collective agricultural labor was carried out, and forcibly doing so would only be counterproductive, causing greater turmoil and causing a regression in agricultural production. Xu Ping knew this very well, and the reason why he supported Zhang Zai was that he did not know whether the battalion and field affairs supported by the power of the state had the basis of productive forces after the improvement of his own agricultural tools and agricultural technological innovation, and could carry out such reforms within a certain scope, and at the same time integrate the army with politics.
If this can be achieved, then a professional army can be combined with camp field work, expand the army in wartime, and scatter soldiers into camp field work in peacetime. It not only solved the doubts of the imperial court, but also maintained the combat effectiveness of the army.
