back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 185 Happy Fatty Lu
Lu Chengqi's intention was to divide the troops into two groups, one to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and the other to go to the Forbidden Army camp.The Forbidden Army camp is still so strict. Under the teaching and training of the Royal Military Academy, the Forbidden Army has always set up bright and dark sentries.

In addition to sentry posts, there are soldiers on regular patrols.This is all in the implementation of a strategic idea: entering the barracks is equal to a state of preparation for war.The current Forbidden Army, dare not say that it is the strongest soldier in the world, can be regarded as a strong army.Military discipline is strict, rewards and punishments are measured, and pensions are in place. Any army will become a strong army that screams.

The military system of Dashun is different from that of the previous dynasties. Both the Qin and Han Dynasties have a military service system. It is stipulated that domestic people, regardless of high or low, must register with the government at the age of 20. According to the principle of three years of farming and one year of storage, they start serving at the age of 23. , until the age of 56.During the age-appropriate period, in addition to receiving training during the slack season every year, each person has to perform military service twice in his life, each time for one year.Once in the local area, it is called "Zhengzu"; once in the frontier or in the capital, it is called "Shuzu" or "Guardian".In the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the separatist rule of the warlords and the formation of local powerful forces, a large number of peasants were owned by the powerful warlords, became dependent on them, became servants of the landlords, and the national military service system was destroyed.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the military system was established. As the name suggests, father and son serve as soldiers from generation to generation.This kind of military household registration is not in the county, but managed by the military government, which is called "military household".Their social status is extremely low, and they can only obtain civilian status if they are exempted.

In the former dynasty, the Fubing system was implemented all the time.The sergeant was incorporated into the household registration and began to engage in production, farming on weekdays, training in slack farming, and preparing weapons and supplies when requisitioning.The Fubing system is a military service system that combines soldiers and farmers, which was very suitable for the development of the times at the beginning.Since the mid-term of the former dynasty, government soldiers have been recruited directly from the people, and men who have reached the age of 21 can join the government soldiers, which has strengthened the central government's control over the army.These government soldiers regularly stay to guard the capital or guard the border;However, this government military system did not last long. With the increasing intensity of land annexation, a large number of government soldiers fled due to the heavy burden, and the government soldiers began to exist in name only.In order to supplement the soldiers, the imperial court had to implement the method of recruitment.The recruited soldiers are called "Chang Cong Suwei", which replaces the system that Fubing soldiers take turns regularly as Suwei.

After the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, the recruitment system was established. It was a more advanced conscription system, which was different from the military service system, the military system, and the military system.It was also from this time that there was a saying that soldiers were paid, because the Dashun Dynasty paid food and salaries to the frontier army, Xiang army and forbidden army.These troops already vaguely have the appearance of the modern army of later generations, so they can be called professional soldiers.

At the beginning of the Dashun Dynasty, the conscription system was extremely strict.The physical strength of a soldier is the benchmark condition for whether a soldier can draw a strong bow and hard crossbow in the era of cold weapons. With strong physical strength, he can use a strong bow and hard crossbow to shoot and kill the enemy from a long distance in battle.It is precisely because of this that the selection of the imperial army depends first on whether the soldiers are physically strong enough, and those who cannot draw a stone bow are not allowed.Because the Forbidden Army is equivalent to the regular army of the Dashun Dynasty, strictness is affirmative.At this time, the soldiers did not have any concept of division of labor and cooperation. Every infantry and cavalry was equipped with melee and long-distance weapons.When the enemy is far away, draw a strong bow and shoot arrows; when the enemy is close, draw out swords and guns to fight.It is precisely because of such an elite imperial army that the Dashun Dynasty was able to shake the world at the beginning of its founding.And the second is to look at the height of the pawns, no one under five feet and one inch is required.This is already very close to the concept of selecting troops for later generations. In addition, the forbidden army is filled with elite soldiers from the frontier army and the Xiang army, with certain combat experience.The most terrifying soldiers are not those who are outstanding in training, but veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield and survived.That's why the Forbidden Army at the beginning of the Dashun Dynasty was so powerful.

Unfortunately, due to frequent natural disasters and the Dashun treasury is not very rich, these refugees had to be filled into the Xiang army and the frontier army.Over time, the combat effectiveness of the Frontier Army and the Xiang Army declined.The imperial army was recruited from the frontier army and Xiang army, and their quality was gradually pulled down.During the Yuanshou reign of the first emperor, the Forbidden Army turned out to be a group of veteran soldiers, perhaps stronger than the Xiang Army, but no match for the Frontier Army.

If it weren't for Lu Chengqi's vigorous efforts to catch the forbidden army, I'm afraid the forbidden army would still be unable to fight.The small yellow gate that proclaimed the decree, outside the Forbidden Army camp lined with swords and guns, was intimidated by the solemn atmosphere, and didn't dare to look where it shouldn't be.

The imperial guards standing at the gates notified the infantry commander Lu Chenhuan before letting the small yellow gates that announced the decree into the imperial guards' camp.These forbidden soldiers, under strict military discipline, did not look sideways at these uninvited guests, but did not see them, and were still doing their own things.

The little Huangmen was amazed, and said in his heart: "It is said that these forbidden soldiers are old-fashioned soldiers. Looking at it now, it seems that they have been completely reborn! The establishment of the Royal Military Academy by Your Majesty has really worked. This forbidden army is probably even the Khitan people. Can the Kidnapper Horse (also known as Tielin, Tieyao, the most elite heavy cavalry in the Liao Kingdom) be able to fight?"

Before he had time to think about it, the central tent of the Forbidden Army camp had already arrived, and the infantry commander Lu Chenhuan had already set up the incense table, washed his hands, and was ready to receive the imperial edict.

Lu Chenhuan was also very puzzled, since Lu Chengqi seemed to have forgotten about him after the arrow competition in Nanyuyuan, he just rewarded him with some gold, silver and treasures, silk and satin, and he didn't mention anything about promotion.Lu Chenhuan was also very discouraged, and thought to himself: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have pretended to be a fool. The little emperor is so busy, how could he remember a fool! The higher the martial arts, the better the martial arts, this is not for the little emperor. Are you more afraid! Alas..."

Now that Lu Chengqi suddenly came to the imperial decree, he was half surprised and half puzzled.The surprise was that Lu Chengqi finally remembered him, and the doubt was what the little emperor wanted to do.

After listening to the imperial decree, Lu Chenhuan was even more confused. His education level is not high, and he only understands the content of the imperial decree. Seeing that the little yellow gate handed him the imperial decree, he quickly apologized: "Eunuch, don't go, don't go, the last general still doesn't understand the content of the Holy Majesty's will, can you explain it a little bit?"

After hearing this, Xiao Huangmen did not hesitate, and explained the content of the imperial decree.When Lu Chenhuan heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.Leading the reborn Forbidden Army to suppress bandits, isn't this killing a chicken with a bull's knife!This battle achievement is easy to grasp, the little emperor made it clear that he wanted to promote himself!
Fatty Lu has been in the position of infantry commander for almost five or six years, and he is already tired of doing it.It's a pity that he doesn't know the senior officials in the court, and he has no place to give gifts if he wants to do something. This official position is still unshakable, and he has no passion for doing it.Ever since the little emperor came to power, Lu Chenhuan saw a little hope in rectifying the imperial army.Now that such a big opportunity is in front of him, if Lu Chenhuan can't grasp it, then he is really a fool.

Now Lu Chenhuan couldn't wait to bring up that horse that hadn't drunk blood for many years and gallop across the battlefield.If he made a great contribution, at least he would be rewarded with an official position as the deputy capital commander in front of the temple, right?

Fatty Lu was so whimsical in his head that he almost drooled, he didn't even know that Xiao Huangmen left with the eunuch, he just held half of the soldier amulet given to him by Lu Chengqi and the half of the soldier amulet given by the Privy Council, grinning silly...
