back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 199 Is it a tiger or a cat?

But the situation did not allow Wang Hu to think too much, because the two sides were already close to each other's bow and arrow range.When there were still [-] steps left, both sides stopped in unison, even if they didn't get any order.

The family soldiers on Wang Hu's side couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva when they saw the queue on the opposite side and the long dragon torches that could not be seen before.A few clever people were already looking around for the escape route, and they said in their hearts: "My boy, the other side seems to be very strong, and there are so many people. If we go up, aren't we going to die? Or put oil on the soles of our feet?" , slip away!"

Wang Hu was somewhat more knowledgeable than these family soldiers, and he had also seen Dashun's incompetent Xiang army. Their morale and equipment were not as good as those of the Wang family's family soldiers.In terms of morale alone, let alone the army in front of us, it is not much better than the peasants in the countryside.The military discipline is loose, the army is disorganized, and the weapons are simple. If they are not dressed in the clothes of the Dashunxiang Army, they will be called a bandit, and they are the kind that are chased to the sky and have nowhere to go.

In fact, this is also caused by the Dashun military system. The forbidden army is a regular army, and the frontier army is responsible for guarding the frontier. Naturally, it is raised by the mother, and all good things are sent there first.Whether it is equipment, food, or horses, the imperial army takes it first, followed by the frontier army.And Xiang Jun was raised by his stepmother, and often he couldn't even get soup.No good things have been caught up, and I still have to suffer.Over time, military discipline began to relax, and the army was no longer an army.

In other words, the frontier army is a regular army, and the forbidden army is an ace force, so they don't move easily.The Xiang army is a miscellaneous army, or it is more appropriate to call it a militia.

These Xiang troops will definitely not be able to eat enough to eat just by paying, and they need to find another way to make a living.Many Xiang troops quietly left the station to help some landlords and gentry plow the land in exchange for rations and money.Before Lu Chengqi did not reform the military pay, they were indeed eating empty pay and not working.

But last year, Lu Chengqi suddenly announced that the three armies would be paid equally, and that the promotion and pension systems would be the same, and many Xiang soldiers slowly returned.After all, inspectors are not vegetarians. Once they find out, they have the right to tell the commander of the Xiang army to directly cancel the quota.Some people don't take it seriously, ruining their future in vain.

Some old, weak, sick and disabled were forced to retire, but they were also properly accommodated.For a while, the morale of the Xiang army picked up. A few days ago, news of the successful suppression of the bandits came one after another.Lu Chengqi knew that the news was reliable after being secretly reported by the inspectors.

But it was still far from Lu Chengqi's request.Therefore, Lu Chengqi decided to unify the training.There are not many teachings in the Royal Military Academy, and they cannot be allocated among the more than 20 Xiang troops.Moreover, the Xiang army was so scattered that it was not easy to manage.In view of this, Lu Chengqi came up with a way to pull the trained imperial army out for actual combat, and transferred the Xiang army to the imperial army camp for unified training.

The next step is to reform the military system.The banner of the Xiang Army is really an insult to the sergeants.In Lu Chengqi's view, the banner of the Xiang Army is equivalent to defining an army as a motley army. How difficult is it to improve the morale of an army?After the unified training, the banner of the Xiang Army will be abolished, and the Xiang Army will be incorporated into the Forbidden Army.And it is no longer so scattered, some soldiers and horses are stationed in important military towns, the main purpose is not to disturb the people.There is a saying that five scattered fingers are not as good as a clenched fist.Only by concentrating forces can the military order be carried out smoothly.The military regions of later generations also came from such considerations.

Of course, the effectiveness of the training of the Forbidden Army has not been tested, and it is not known when these sloppy Xiang troops will be able to form an army.As a result, the reform of the military system will be far away.

In addition to changing the Xiang army to the forbidden army, Lu Chengqi had another idea, and that was the militia.After all, Dashun's township administration is too chaotic and inconvenient to manage.How confusing is it?Township, Qi, Du, Guan, Tuan, Bao, etc. have various titles, let alone management.The Lizheng and the head of the household are in charge of "tax supervision and taxation".The elders are in charge of "chasing and catching thieves".The chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Chongguang, had already put forward suggestions on the issue of rural management. It was Lu Chengqi who had his own plans, so he didn't make a conclusion easily. The matter was left alone, but Lu Chengqi did not forget it.Lu Chengqi was so hesitant to implement the militia system because he couldn't find a balance point.

After all, Dashun has not reached the heights of later generations, where one farmer can support hundreds of people.In this era, intensive farming is the only way to increase food production. How can such an inefficient production method be able to implement the militia system?What's more, the concept of clan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the family law is far greater than the national law, which is also a headache.

If we want to solve the problem of township administration, we must not only start from the political aspect, but also need to consider all aspects of production, law, general ethics, education and so on.It can be said that Dashun is still a large agricultural country, and the township policy is a matter of life and death, so no conclusion can be easily drawn.Since the current system is not bad, let's not rush to reform it.I have to find an area to be a test area to observe the effect of reforming the township government, adjust the bad parts, and keep the good ones.Only by being so cautious can the greatest confusion be prevented.

The premise of reforming township administration, or the premise of promulgating government orders, is to build on a state machine, and the guarantee of this machine is the army.The army is not good, Lu Chengqi is bound to do everything, and after thinking about it, he is afraid of stepping on a landmine.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Hu to think of this level, because he is not a character of this level.There is a saying that if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.Wang Hu just lamented the army in front of him, the military discipline was strict, and there was no one to speak.

Although the family soldiers beside him never spoke, Wang Hu, who was familiar with these family soldiers, knew that it wasn't that they didn't want to talk, but that they were frightened by the other party.At this moment, Wang Hu also faintly felt that he seemed to have bumped into an iron plate this time.

In order to maintain morale, perhaps because he was forced by the other party to have no way out, Wang Hu took a deep breath, raised his breath, and asked loudly: "Who is coming, tell me your name, I am under the stick of Jinyang's fierce tiger, and don't kill unknown people!" !"

This passage was said by Wang Hu, who was listening to the performers when he was watching the tile opera.It seems to be talking about the story of the Three Kingdoms period, Wang Hu can't remember what the content is, but he keeps this passage firmly in his heart.More than once, I fantasized about saying this sentence and being a majestic general.
Who knew that today, the wish came true, but Wang Hu couldn't be happier.Because the pressure the other party put on him was too great.

Lu Chenhuan was in the middle army, and when he heard Wang Huwen say something like this, he galloped out and laughed loudly: "Your grandfather is the commander of the imperial army, Lu Chenhuan! Jinyang is a fierce tiger, it seems to be very powerful Well, I want to see if you are a tiger or a cat!"
