However, the consequence of "soldiers who do not know the generals and generals who do not know the soldiers" and "the soldiers are impermanent and the commanders are impermanent and the divisions are impermanent" is that the combat effectiveness of the army will be severely reduced.

In ancient times, the army used various formations in battle, which required close cooperation between soldiers and generals, and at the same time, generals should also know very well the discipline of soldiers and the level of combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, if you issue an order, the soldier's ability to execute it is limited, and there is no way to change the formation according to the order in time, and a huge flaw will be immediately exposed, becoming a gap for the enemy to break through.

Sima An said: "Your Majesty, just as the so-called at this time, at that time, the military merit system made the pre-Qin sweep Liuhe, but in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng repeated this policy, not only failed to achieve results, but became a means for border generals to seek personal gain, and those who killed good and impostored merit emerged in endlessly.

It can be seen that no matter what kind of policy, the key is to see whether it is appropriate or not. With the passage of time, the good laws of the past may become full of disadvantages; And the law that was full of drawbacks in the past may also become a good law. ”

Qin Mu couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "What Master Sima said is very reasonable. He also felt that the Song Dynasty's more tactics were really meritorious.

Sima An continued: "The Song Dynasty's change of tactics made the soldiers impermanent and handsome, and the commanders were impermanent divisions, which was very effective in preventing generals from leading an army for too long and forming an autocratic power or even a big tail. The biggest drawback of this method is that the combat strength of the army has been greatly reduced.

If it was before, no matter how you improved it, it would be difficult to avoid the drawbacks of the army's combat power declining. But now it is very different, with the gradual equipping of the army with the 69-type rifle, the combat form of our army is bound to change, and it is no longer as before, focusing on formation coordination, infantry and cavalry coordination, and so on.

The training of spearmen is simpler, and the orders during combat are greatly simplified, as long as the soldiers can keep up with their physical fitness. If you can handle a firearm proficiently, you can basically do it.

In this way, the so-called drawbacks of soldiers not knowing their generals and generals not knowing their soldiers will have little impact on their combat effectiveness. That is to say, the more military methods that did not work in the Song Dynasty can be brought into play in my Great Qin, but they can give full play to its advantages and minimize its disadvantages. ”

Indeed, the mode of combat of hot weapons versus cold weapons. There is a huge difference;

In the era of cold weapons, without one or two years of training, it can only be regarded as a rabble.

In the era of hot weapons, both training and command have actually been simplified a lot, and they are naturally less affected by the drawbacks of changing tactics.

"Your Majesty, in the Song Dynasty, the forbidden army was stationed in Beijing and other counties, and the internal and external divisions were rotated, and they regularly returned to the Beijing division. It is named as stationing, stationing, and food. Usually the garrison troops in Jingdong, Jingxi, Hebei, Hedong, Shaanxi, Jiangnan, Huainan, Liangzhejiang, Jinghu, Chuanxia, Guangdong and other places are rotated for a period of three years.

Troops stationed in remote areas with harsh conditions are rotated for a period of six months. The imperial court temporarily appointed the commander of the garrison, so the soldiers did not know the generals. Will not know the soldiers, easy to control.

Looking at the Beijing camp in the Ming Dynasty, because it was stationed in the capital for a long time, there was no war for a long time. It is rotten, there are two or three hundred thousand troops empty, and there is really a war but it is vulnerable. If the law is changed. Rotation inside and outside is of great help to maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

Qin Mu said: "Such an internal and external rotation is costly, and I am afraid it will be difficult to implement it for a long time. ”

"Your Majesty, the main thing is to change generals, as for the internal and external rotation of soldiers, the number of each time does not need to be too much. The Nanjing garrison can be rotated between 1 and 20,000 every three years, so that all the Gyeonggi garrison will not be vulnerable. ”

As long as the generals are changed regularly, even the problem of colluding with the generals with the merchants has been solved.

Qin Mu said: "In this way, Mr. Sima will first draw up a detailed charter and let the ministers discuss it and see if there is anything to add." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Mu actually always thought that he would be careful to take precautions, and in terms of using generals, they were all used together, but this was not a long-term strategy after all, and it was imperative to implement regular rotation of generals.

In addition, once the war subsides, generals like Meng Ke and Ma Yongzhen will definitely have to return to Nanjing, and it is impossible to continue to let them "work the border".

Sima An continued: "Your Majesty, the war in Longyou has been calmed down, and I also ask Your Majesty to return to Xijing as soon as possible." First, the Guanzhong army is too empty, which is worrying. Second, after the snowfall, logistics and transportation become more and more difficult, and the long stationing of the army in Lanzhou will cause a great burden. ”

Being able to solve the great problem of Gushi Khan's henchmen and march into Qinghai-Tibet, not only Qin Mu, but all the ministers were greatly relieved.

As for the Dzungar in the Western Regions and the Chitate in the Hetao, with the heavy snow falling, it is no longer realistic to raise a large-scale crusade at this time.

In fact, Qin Mu in the Western Regions is not too anxious, it doesn't matter if he stays for a few years, Batur Khan wantonly destroyed the mosques built during the Yarkand Khanate, and forced the local people to convert to Yellow Religion.

As for the Qitate of the Hetao, Qin Mu did not plan to go to the expedition himself.

Ma Yongzhen and Meng Ke reorganized nearly 50,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses in Monan, and after exterminating Norbu, they had to find something to do for them.

There is also a high level of merit in Qinghai and Tibet, and it will also reorganize the young and strong troops of Tubo into an army, and it is not good for you to pull these young and strong people down the plateau for no reason. As a robber, I also know how to find a reason to "I opened this mountain and planted this tree".

The crusade against Chitat and Batur is a good reason. Once you've done the crusade, find the other enemies.

Therefore, after solving Gushi Khan, it would not make much sense for Qin Mu to bring tens of thousands of troops to stay in Lanzhou.

Qin Mu nodded and said, "Then Master Sima will arrange the affairs of the class teacher." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor had no intention of expeditioning to the Western Regions or the Hetao, Sima An secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This war is related to the fortunes of the country, and the Great Qin has not been founded for a long time, and it is inevitable that the emperor will personally conquer the country.

Throughout the first two generations of monarchs at the beginning of the founding of the country, most of them chose to conquer in person when there was a major war. This is because orthodoxy has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people, and few emperors dare to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to a general.

Needless to say, if you lose, if you win the battle, the prestige of the boss will overshadow the emperor, and few generals with high merit and high power will end well.

met a Ming monarch like Li Shimin, after Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, he had to retire and live a secluded life, Xu Da was the same, Li Wenzhong almost couldn't even enter the Great Wall.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the country, hundreds of thousands of troops were handed over to a general, almost forcing them to rebel. Qin Mu's personal expedition this time, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not oppose too much, and this is exactly the reason.

However, Sima An feared that he would be carried away by the victory, and continued to conquer the Hetao or the Western Regions. Seeing that he was as good as a stream, Sima An couldn't help but bow deeply when he got up.

Qin Mu suddenly remembered something, and stopped him again: "Master Sima." ”

"I don't know what else Your Majesty commands?"

"The matter of the royal Mengxue, Sima Kai presided over it effectively, and the progress is quite gratifying, I am very relieved, and I am very happy!"

If Qin Mu praised him, Sima An would definitely tremble, but praising his son, there was nothing more than this that made Sima An happier, but he wouldn't show it: "Your Majesty, the dog is young and reckless, and he can do things for His Majesty, that is his great blessing, Your Majesty must not praise him, so as not to get used to his arrogant nature." ”

"Hahaha, I'm not worried about this, with Master Sima's teaching, I believe that he knows how to advance and retreat, this errand is really good, I can't be rewarded for my merits. Now I have a new idea, I want to set up a few colleges specializing in mathematics, physics and chemistry, so I will leave this matter to Sima Kai to handle it. ”

"Mathematics, physics and chemistry?" Sima An looked puzzled, not knowing which emperor was going to sing again.

Of course, the emperor came up with some novelties from time to time, which was nothing new, and if it wasn't for his son, he wouldn't have bothered to care so much.

Regarding the cultivation of engineering talents, Qin Mu does not plan to delay it any longer, but due to the lack of teachers, it is impossible to run too many colleges at one time, one or two at first, and then slowly expand later.

As for the money for running the school, Qin Mu is not Chongzhen, it is not difficult for him to get this money, and now in the royal industry, the income of the soap factory alone is more than enough to run a few colleges.

He considered that this matter might be opposed by the disciples of Confucius and Mencius, so he pulled Sima An to the top cylinder.

Sima An's ghost spirit naturally thought of this possibility, but in any case, it would be beneficial for Sima An to tie his son to the emperor, so he pretended not to know: "Your Majesty, if you think that the dog is available, the minister naturally does not dare to object, but the dog is young and ignorant, if something goes wrong, I am afraid"

"Well, you don't have to worry, what can you do wrong? It's because he's young that he needs a lot of experience, doesn't he? ”

"Yes, Yes, Your Majesty."
