During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various countries changed their laws in order to become strong, and the world of great contention should first strengthen the army, and only with a strong army can the security of the country be ensured and the development of the country outward.

If the leaders of the reform of the law in various countries want to make a difference, they must first train a strong army, and then it is possible to carry out the reform at home, and only when the new army is strong and there is a change can it be sustained, and the annihilation of the new army is also equivalent to the loss of support for the reform of the law, such as the destruction of the 100,000 new army trained by Shen Buxing in South Korea, and the change of the law in South Korea will be interrupted.

The background of Shang's reform is that at that time, the Qin state was defeated by the Wei state in the Battle of Hexi, and the old Qin Xiangong's Yingshi collapsed after Yingqu Liang succeeded to the throne of Qin. In order to seek a way for Qin to continue to survive and take revenge, Yingquliang looked for talents in many ways, and it happened that Wei Ying was also not reused in Wei, and Gongshuzao, who had been captured by Yingquliang, recommended Wei Ying to Qin to find a way out, and Wei Ying needed to have a piece of land that could give full play to his talents, so he followed Gongshuza's advice.

Before getting the fiefdom of "Shang", because Martingale came from Weidi, people generally called it the full name of Weiyang. So who introduced Wei Ying to Yingquliang? The original text of Sima Qian's "Book of Reporting to Ren'an" records that "Martingale was seen by Jing Jian", and "Jing Jian" refers to the chief eunuch of a certain place in Qin Jun's palace, so it was the eunuch who introduced Wei Ying to the then Qin Jun's Yingqu Liang.

The Lantian camp was built around 350 B.C., and the exact date is difficult to date, during the reign of King Wei of Zhou. Its establishment is one of the products of the Shang Dynasty reform.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the military camp must have a sentry tower, the temporary camp is built with wood called the arrow tower, and the fixed camp is built of rammed earth and wood, called the arrow tower.

To get from Weishui to Lantian you need to pass through Bashang. Bashang is another huge military base established during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, that is because Yingsi changed the national policy of the Qin State to focus on opening up to the west, and turned to the east to fight for hegemony, and the focus of the Qin army is naturally to be arranged to the east.

When the patrol team is approaching the hegemony, it can already see a variety of clues, the populated houses are becoming more and more scarce, and various military buildings can be seen from time to time. It is like a smooth training ground and a place for galloping horses, but the most seen is the arrow tower with a guard guard.

Bashang is located on the edge of Bashui, it has been one of the two major military bases of Qin since the time of King Huiwen of Qin, and another large military base is of course Lantian Daying. As a bridgehead, it was not only as simple as a garrison, but also built a huge warehouse for hoarding grain and military equipment.

Liu Bang established the Han Empire, and the capital of the country chose the edge of Xianyang, and built a new city as Chang'an. The generals of the Han Empire, they also saw the importance of the geographical location of the hegemony. It is also because of the supporting military facilities left by the Qin State, and the garrison of the army defending Chang'an was also chosen to be on the hegemony, and there is also a layer of significance that if there is a change in Shandong, it can quickly dispatch troops from the hegemony.

In the subsequent historical changes, as long as the country rises from the land of Guanzhong, or the country chooses the country in Guanzhong, the successive dynasties have also regarded the hegemony as the main place to garrison troops, which shows the importance of the geographical location of the hegemony.

The empire peacefully settled Qindi, and the first place to take over when the army entered the pass was Bashang, and then it was stationed for a long time. As a military force that can quickly send troops to Qinchuan in the west and go straight to Korea in the east.

"When we took over the defense overlord, the granary and armory were actually empty." "At that time, there were only less than 3,000 old and weak people in the huge camp, and the barracks and facilities everywhere were not maintained, which made it look desolate. ”

The time that the co-captain has been in Qin Land is not short. His use of the word "desolate" obviously did not refer to the hegemony alone, but to cover the entire Qin land.

Before the Great Rebellion, the Qin army massed forces on the Great Wall, especially the armies of the northern prefectures and upper counties. There was also a Qin army assembled on the side of Sanchuan County. In order to enter Lingnan as the second echelon of the Southern Expeditionary Corps, it was precisely because of the early assembly that the establishment of the Central Plains Army was so smooth.

After the chaos in the world. The newly established Northern Expeditionary Corps (Great Wall Legion) was partially transferred and led by Wang Ben to carry out a campaign in Zhaodi, and the second echelon of the Southern Expeditionary Corps also launched an offensive from Sanchuan County to Shangdang County and other places. Because of the need to guard against the Xiongnu and against Lu Zhe, the army in the hinterland of Qin was either transferred to the north or south, how could the hinterland not be empty?

During the War of Unification, the Qin State carried out five expeditions at every turn, and repeatedly recruited huge manpower for military campaigns. The so-called eunuchs, good families, criminals, traders, and sons-in-law are all old and weak women and children left in the hinterland.

Later, it was necessary to put down the rebellion everywhere, and the people who could be conscripted in the entire Qin region had actually been evacuated, because the continuous conscription and military service directly led to a rapid decline in productivity due to the lack of the main labor force. This phenomenon caused another layer of panic, and it was also that the Qin people did not get the war dividends and were even more difficult than before, which made the Qin people disappointed in the rule of the Zhao family.

In the original history, Liu Bang did not encounter much resistance when he entered the Qin land, and the Qin people not only did not resist the invasion of Liu Bang's army, but had a welcoming attitude, presumably thinking that it was better to change the ruler on the top of the head than the original.

This historical version of Lü Zhe, when Lü Zhe had already had an early army to help Qin resist the southern invasion of the Xiongnu into Qin, and the south was also constantly mobilizing grain into Qin, in the process of actually cleaning up the hearts of the people in Qin, the direct effect was that after Fusu took over the throne, the Qin people did not want to fight with Lü Zhe's army at all, and the Qin center really had no choice but to accept the annexation by peaceful means.

"We annexed 100,000 Qin troops, and the total loss of the Central Plains Army in Zhao was more than 80,000, and after the southern invasion of the Xiongnu, it lost 40,000, and it was lost more than 200,000 at once. Gongwei is now the general of Zhenxi and the governor of the northwest, so he naturally wants to understand what happened before. He said: "Coupled with the losses in the battle of reunification, as well as the repeated turbulent evasion of military service and labor evasion, the youth and strength of Qindi are actually almost empty. ”

The patrol team entered Qindi from Hangu Pass, and they could indeed see the desolation everywhere along the way, which was even more unbearable than Nanyang County and Sanchuan County, which had gone through the chaos.

Lu Zhe sighed: "Yes, it is rare to see young men and young men in the countryside. ”

The imperial army now has more than 3 million soldiers in service, of which the original Qin soldiers account for more than 500,000, which are the soldiers of the original Great Wall Army and the Central Plains Army.

Lu Zhe thought about it for a while. said: "There will be 500,000 retired soldiers in the army next year, and priority can be given to the retirement of soldiers with household registration in Qindi." ”

"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant." The lieutenant hurriedly explained: "According to the minister's understanding, they really want their children to continue to serve in the army. There is no need to specially select Qindi's household registration to arrange retirement and demobilization. ”

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Zhe smiled.

Serving in the empire is not unpaid, there is a military salary in peacetime, an allowance in wartime, and forty percent of the battlefield captures can be left, which is more generous than the "ploughing and war reward policy" that the Qin people have long been accustomed to.

What is the reason for the Qin people to rejoice when they hear the war, isn't it that they can get rich rewards? They have been living like this for a hundred or two hundred years. The idea of becoming a soldier and going to the battlefield to gain fame and fortune has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Compared with the Qin people, people in other regions generally don't like war, that's because of the difference in national policies, and the difference in national policies over the years will produce completely different "habits". People who like war and those who don't like war will not be the same aggressive, so the imperial military actually prefers Qin soldiers with a high degree of obedience, strong attack power, and full of tenacity in terms of soldiers.

The lieutenant said embarrassedly, "That's it...... It is...... I hope Your Majesty can think about it, can you let the soldiers with household registration in Qindi have more vacations, so that they can go home and have babies? ”

Lu Zhe didn't speak, and the person next to him laughed first.

"The most feared thing in the army is that they will be treated differently." Mei Wei teased: "Is the general so troubled that he is dizzy? ”

This year's holiday is not called a holiday, it should be called a rest, the original intention is to take a good bath and take a break in your spare time, and it is later used for some decoration in the officialdom.

In fact, there have been holidays since the pre-Qin era in ancient times. The longest holiday of the year is during the spring ploughing season and the autumn harvest season, and the winter solstice festival will also have relatively rich rest time. However, Hugh Mu is a matter for civilian officials and middle and high-level military generals, and there is actually no such thing as Hugh Mu for ordinary soldiers during their military service. Yes, it is only a family leave, and it is difficult to get approved.

Gongwei is really dizzy, even if Lu Zhe can manage it. As an emperor, to pay special attention to the holiday of soldiers with household registration in a certain place, what is this a thing?

Su Lie suggested, "Captain, you may be able to communicate with Lieutenant. Anyway, there won't be any war in the near future. ”

It is indeed the responsibility of the Taiwei Office to arrange the holidays of the legionnaires, and even the transfer of the legion, and to be recognized and determined, it is necessary for the Taiwei Office and the General's Office to jointly draft a plan, and finally submit it to the emperor for the final ruling.

The empire is not without war at present, the grasslands in the north, the wasteland in the northwest, the dense forests in the south, and the sea, the army that needs to be used is not small, but the season has become a sluggish period in winter.

The territory of the empire is not as narrow as that of the warring states in the ancient pre-Qin era, and it takes at least three months to walk from the easternmost to the southernmost place, even if you ride a fast horse, not three or five days.

"It's a little unrealistic." The lieutenant had embarrassment on his face: "Please forgive your majesty." ”

Lu Zhe smiled and didn't say anything.

In the same country, when an official takes up a post in a place, he will inevitably strive for more benefits for the local people, not to mention this kind of behavior, but because of that, he can be regarded as a qualified official.

The fixed camp on the top covers an area of more than 30 miles, and there are no dwellings within 20 miles around the camp, which is a rule left by the Qin period.

Because of the entry of the imperial army, the tyrant can not see any desolation now, and the originally empty camp has become more energetic because of the entry of the imperial army.

The emperor went out on patrol here, what should the army do or what should it do, but how do you look at the number of troops training in the field today?

"There are currently 20,000 garrisons in the Bashang camp," the lieutenant also knew that there were too many troops in practice, so he simply said: "Your Majesty does not allow extravagance, so ...... Hehe. ”

Oh, how did you do this to hold the welcome ceremony?

Most of the cavalry of the army were transferred to the border areas, and the majority of the infantry troops were left behind, and the army has been reforming for more than ten years, such as the spear, which has basically been eliminated, and the spear has become the mainstream weapon of the infantry army.

I can't say why, the current people are generally taller, they wear battle robes and hold three-meter long guns, in the officer's command or stab, or block, or sweep, because too many people wield spears, the wind of long sticks dancing and the slogans shouted by the soldiers, the movement is quite loud.

If it is changed to the characteristics of the Celestial Empire, and an important person comes, even if there are 100,000 urgent things to do, you have to stop and receive the leader first. And the leader should stand on the high platform to give a speech, which will never be less than ten minutes, and one hour is common.

The lieutenant also asked Lu Zhe if he wanted to speak to the whole army to encourage him or something.

After Lu Zhe refused, the lieutenant asked, "On the Lantian side, we are still inheriting the Qin army's purpose of training officers, so only the officers will stay there, can Your Majesty go over?" ”

Since he came, of course he had to go over, but Bashang and Lantian were not too far apart, so the accompanying forbidden army did not have to be dispatched by the whole army.

At the beginning of its establishment, the Lantian Battalion had a wide range, and in the subsequent historical changes, the scale of the Lantian Battalion gradually decreased, especially after it was changed to a special training officer.

The empire has a special military academy, the largest academy is in the imperial capital Nanling, the most normal way for the army to have officers who need training is to go to Nanling, and the rest of the places can only be regarded as the branch of the Imperial Military Academy located in Nanling.

The officer training base in Lantian is one of the branches of the Imperial Military Academy, mainly for short-term training in cavalry tactics and other applications. The empire also had a branch of the academy that specialized in the training of infantry officers, which was set up on the edge of Handan in Zhao Di. The two are the largest training bases outside of the Imperial Military Academy in Nanling.

Lü Zhe did not give a speech at the Bashang Battalion, but when he arrived at the Blue Sky Battalion, he gave a short speech to the officers who were trained there, encouraging them to apply what they had learned and use what they learned to defeat the Huns, who claimed to be good at cavalry and sports warfare.

Even in modern times, cavalry is still one of the main arms of the battlefield, the empire's investment in the construction of cavalry has not been reduced for a long time, and the empire wants to continue to expand further outward in the future, and the main force can only be cavalry, so Lu Zhe does not pay attention to it.

After leaving the Lantian camp, Lu Zhe's next destination was Xianyang, where a new city was being built on the edge, and her name was Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
