Chapter 229: Some Joy and Some Sorrow (II)
"Zi'an, you're hurting him.;" Yao said.
"General Yao, I don't care about your father-son relationship, what I think about is the Great Song Dynasty, the talents of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty lacks the most military generals, and I am not training your son, but a brave general in the future of the Great Song Dynasty." Wang Ju said.
Yao Xiong grinned and stole fun on the side.
Yao Ji has no luck, even now, don't talk about Yao Xiong, Yao Ji himself has not really become famous, including himself dare not be called a brave general, he can only say that he can fight a general. So he thought that Wang Ju was kind.
But Wang Ju also admired it in his heart, and when he read the history books in the future, he saw that Yue Fei did not report the merits of his son Yue Yun, which was a bit incredible, it turned out that Yao Ji had already set a precedent. This is the true example of self-discipline.
Good luck, good luck.
If there were no Yao Ji and Li Sangou, he would have come to Huachi County this time, but at most he would have paddled the water, and it was with these few generals that he could make a difference.
"This is a substitute commander, Xu Commander returns, Yao Xiong still has to hand over the post of commander, then whether he can serve as a commander in the future depends on his future meritorious service. Let's get down to business, Cai Gong's three battalions......"
"Okay." Yao said.
Huachi County has a lot less troops? It's really a lot, and now it's an army of more than 4,000 people, and there are nearly 1,900 cavalrymen among them. All cavalry equipped with war horses and a small number of pack horses. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about this horse, I'm afraid that the ten battalions of cavalry in the rear can only have two thousand horses.
But it can't be said much, once the Western Xia really invades, if these thousands of soldiers and horses are not properly dispatched, maybe they will not be enough to stuff people's teeth.
The officers and men of these three battalions came at the right time.
"Maybe it's okay, Cai Gong and I talked in detail. Because I was full of hatred beforehand......"
Yao laughed. Change yourself to a Tangut person. also hated Wang Ju to death.
"Cai Gong thought that once the Western Xia army invaded, they would have a lot of troops in their hands, and they would inevitably send heavy troops to Huachi County. The battle of Huachi County became a turning point in the battle, so there was this arrangement, saying that the officers of the sixth battalion were transferred from the rear to the front line, but in fact, the other three battalions did not matter, the main thing was these three battalions. ”
"Will there be a Guangrui battalion?"
Cai Gong didn't say. But I don't think the three battalions are too badly organized. ”
Eating empty pay is always a headache topic, but some camps have a small number of empty salaries, and some have a large number of empty salaries. Wang Ju said that the three battalions that were transferred over may have a relatively small number of empty salaries, so the first battalion of the infantry battalion will be close to 500 people, and the cavalry battalion will be close to 400 people.
"Wouldn't that be better? …… It's not appropriate, the money. ”
"That's the money."
"What happened to that soju?"
"You know that, too?" Wang Ju was stunned, the impact of daring to love was really great.
"Got it, it's a bit tricky."
"General Yao, it's not difficult to do, don't get involved in military affairs. It's just that the economic side is fighting, and I deal with them with my eyes closed. But how much money can you make with soju? ”
Wang Ju was not right. That's not to make a few bucks, you can make tens of thousands of dollars a year, and in the hands of that businessman, it's also an amazing income. But smashed in Huachi County, smashed on thousands of officers and soldiers, is this money still called money?
Yes, the horses are basically ready.
But then there's food, and there's a reward for training.
Without these rewards, would a soldier be willing to undergo such intense training at the moment?
These problems are not big, the main one is that a big head is coming, changing armor weapons. It's better to change all the clothes, that's not possible. But according to the standards of Wang Ju and Yao Ji, half of the armor and weapons in the hands of the officers and soldiers must be changed, not to mention the bitter horses, there is almost nothing. Also, Wang Ju will be a compendium of strong men and strong horses, and he has been training for a while, and when the big war comes, he also plans to put some strong men and strong horses to use, but they can't let them fight with the weapons in their village, and they will definitely temporarily put standard weapons when the time comes. However, Han Qi said very clearly, and Cai Ting also said very clearly to Wang Ju, that the country's finances are tight and support is limited.
That's why Cai Tingcai said to Wang Ju, as long as you don't do too much, the old man will support you.
What kind of private business, even if you are afraid of private salt, as long as you keep it secret, the old man will keep you. But you have to train these thousands of officers and soldiers in Huachi County into a real strong army.
This pressure was very high, and three battalions of officers and soldiers were added.
"The more than 1,000 prisoners of war were improperly released," Yao said with frustration.
Originally, I thought it was a joke, but now Yao Ji thinks about it, it really makes sense, alas, at least one Ding Zhuang is a mining slave, which is worth more than a woman, so he plans to pay 20 yuan for a mining slave, and more than 30,000 yuan for more than 1,000 mining slaves.
With these more than 30,000 yuan, how many practical things do you have to do?
"That's not a joke, I really plan to do that, in the battle after the autumn, the sacrifice will be very heavy, these soldiers are all laborers of the family, one person falls, and the family is scattered."
Yao Yu clenched his fists, his father died in battle, and his family was also miserable, but Yao Bao was a major general of the imperial court, so the imperial court was generous, but what about those ordinary soldiers?
"So I'll have to find a way to conjure up some money to pay for my pension."
"Zi'an, I support you."
"Then you must need your support, otherwise how would many prisoners of war do it at that time? But that's still early, let's not talk about it, how do you plan to train the recruits of the third battalion first," Wang Ju said after thinking about it. How to lead the troops to fight, Yao Ji is good, and Yao Ji can't do the method of making money.
However, Yao Yu suddenly asked: "Why did the Tang Dynasty use conscription soldiers to win all battles." ”
He held back this thought for a long time.
Yes, at present, the officers and soldiers of the Huachi Battalion have a new look, but how much money has been spent behind this? Only the Zhu family, the Li family, and those big families in Yanzhou who are optimistic about Wang Ju, as well as Wang Ju himself, smashed more than 30,000 yuan.
Of course, some of them have made capital in operation.
However, the income of private traders and wine is equally amazing.
And the harvest of the three wars is not small, although most of the harvest in the name of the donation of comrades-in-arms, one by one to the hands of the dead or seriously injured retired soldiers, but this is also an incentive, give me a good fight, killed, not only the court's pension, there are more disguised pensions, your family has no worries.
Together, the amount of money is so huge that Yao Ji can't even think of it.
But it's not all, the imperial court is also spending money, that is, supporting thousands of officials, plus other waste, just a few battalions of troops in Huachi County, I'm afraid the imperial court will have to spend 100,000 a year!
If you zoom in to the entire Northwest, how much does it cost in a year?
"I participated in the imperial examination last year, and I was also inadvertently involved in the controversy of the Three Ding Thorns, and I also heard some news at that time. Including Han Gong, they all wanted to realize the ancient method of using troops and restore the military system. This conscription system has made the country miserable. I don't discuss this, but it's not realistic. I'll talk about the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Zi'an, please say," Yao said.
Don't think that he is a martial artist, he also reads, including the history books of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would not respect Yan Zhenqing.
Therefore, I am very interested in the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the country is the country, and they all fight to the west of the Green Ridge, to Xiaohai in the north, to Goryeo in the east, and to Cochin in the south. That's like the Song Dynasty, a nest!
"The Tang Dynasty's government soldier system was implemented because the Tang Dynasty was sparsely populated at the beginning, and anyone who entered the government soldier could get a large amount of arable land for their families, and they had no worries. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were many victories, and although the nomads were poor, as long as they were victorious, there would be many spoils of war. Not to mention the Western Regions, at that time, the water and soil in the Western Regions were better than now, there were many oases, plus trade routes, so many small countries in the Western Regions were very wealthy, and the loot was more abundant. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were many famous generals, so as long as a small number of troops were used, they could win a big victory, and the pressure on the country was not great. Most of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were peasants, and where they occupied, they could land the fields. Moreover, the prestige is prominent, and the Hu people dare not invade and invade the fields of Tun. The battle cycle is short, the government soldiers go out of the army, and they return after a big victory, only a small number of soldiers need to be rotated, and the rest can be reunited with their families. ”
"Seems to make sense." Yao pondered. This is the first time he has heard such a statement, not from a tactical point of view, but from the people's livelihood and benefits.
Later, the Tang Dynasty had a large population and a shortage of land, and it began to fail repeatedly, especially the Tubo Qinling, which was folded in his hands alone, and there were 400,000 Tang troops, not to mention the Khitan Turks. If you are defeated, you will die, and if you don't have an absolute advantage, you will have to send a large number of troops to rotate, not to mention the trophies. As a result, the military system gradually undermined, and this gave rise to the soil of the feudal town. This is a good reference. ”
"Wouldn't I be even worse?"
"That is, the overall policy of our DPRK is to eliminate the outside and the inside, and to accumulate defense, and a rotation cannot be placed in conscripts. Even if the conscripts are all farmers, they can cultivate the fields, but what about their families? ”
This is the real reality, why Wang Ju's training reward is not put in the hands of the soldiers, but handed over to their families, which is nothing more than to make them feel at ease. How many people can really ignore their wives and children at home?
But when it came to this, Wang Ju had a wit.
It's still okay, of course, it is impossible to use all the conscripts, but some of the conscripts will be used, and I believe there will be some way.
Others don't know, even in later China, isn't that compulsory military system also a conscription system? Of course, it would be very troublesome to implement it in the Song Dynasty, and those people should enter the compulsory military system first? Secondly, how to take the initiative to let everyone participate in the compulsory army? Later, I dared to shout out who is the cutest person, and the soldier is the cutest person, can you do it in the Song Dynasty, good iron does not nail, and a good man is not a soldier! Or Wang Ju yelled out who is the cutest person, Di Qing, Ren Fu...... Then wait for the big hat to be dragged out by the scholars and doctors.
If the people do not take the initiative to participate in the compulsory army, it is a harmful act to the people!
But if it is done well, it will play a lot of roles, such as reducing the financial burden of the state, and the important thing is Hedong and Hebei, why did the Jin people go south, these two people have been peaceful for a long time, and they are not used to fighting, and the nature is the same as the Anshi Rebellion.
"Let's talk about it later," Wang Ju thought to himself.
After talking for a while, Wang Ju returned to Huachi Town, and Cai Ting was ready to add three battalions to Huachi County, so that Wang Ju was happy and worried, and what he was worried about was money.
Gotta find a way to solve the problem of money. (To be continued!)
