Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 251 The result of the emperor's eccentricity

This is also true when you think about it carefully. If all the frontier soldiers are at the level of the Xuanjia Army and the Huben Army, and each of them can fight ten with one, and fight a hundred with one, what else does he need to go all the way to Gyeongju?
As long as it is not commanded by an incompetent person, with tens of thousands of Xuanjia troops in hand, it is absolutely easy to overthrow the Turks.You must know that the Xuanjia Army is the most powerful in the world, and its full membership is no more than 3000. It is a strong soldier selected from all the elites of the Tang Dynasty, and has undergone rigorous training.One person from the Xuanjia Army was killed, and when there is a need to replenish the quota, ten representatives will be selected from each of the twelve guards in Guanzhong. After competing with each other, the winner will be selected to replenish.

You must know that the Guanzhong Twelve Guards are the core strong soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and each army has around [-] people.The Xuanjia Army selected the best one out of a hundred thousand elite soldiers.

In terms of combat effectiveness, any random Xuanjia army would not be inferior to a commander of the school lieutenant level.

In the Battle of Hulao, Li Shimin dared to charge Dou Jiande's army of more than 3000 with [-] cavalry. The [-] Xuanjia Army was his confidence.

If everyone on the frontier is a Xuanjia soldier, the Turks really don't have to mess around.

Li Shimin, as the Tiance general who holds the military power in the world, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to know the situation of the frontier soldiers.Arranging him from all the way must be because he believed that he would be able to do so within a certain period of time.Train the frontier soldiers like wolves and tigers.It would be too embarrassing to flee back to Chang'an with your tail between your legs like this.What's more, the situation Li Jing and Li Shiji encountered should be similar.They are training hard, why does Qin Feng give up?
They all have the same head, born of their parents, who is afraid of whom!
Qin Feng pondered so.

"Starting tomorrow, let's have a confrontation match! Don't they have no temper? Just beat them. Clay figurines are three-point rustic, let alone frontier soldiers in a dangerous environment. If the first time is not enough, fight twice. If the second time is not enough, Three times, four times...until they are beaten into hundreds of steel smelting." Qin Feng said viciously: "Rengui, let your second battalion of tiger and ben challenge this group of soft bones tomorrow, beat me hard, as long as they don't come out Human life and disability are enough. Fifteen hundred to ten thousand, I think they don't have the face to make irresponsible remarks, and I will be blamed if something goes wrong. The competition lasted for three consecutive days, and if they lost, let them go back. Come back at night, after night, Double start on the second day. Weekly and primitive, until three days, on the fourth day, unified full-equipment training, not one of the regular events. Eliminate one and give up one. If you want to lead the country with this salary and do nothing, there is no way. Really want If you don’t want to, don’t want to do things, you can go home and take care of yourself, and don’t occupy the latrine without shitting.”

The next day, the [-] Frontier Army in Gyeongju made the soldiers of the [-]nd Battalion of the Huben Army clean up in a very miserable manner. One and two had bruised noses and swollen faces, and some were even beaten so badly that their relatives could not recognize them. Standing up and showing off, to the disappointment of Qin Feng, Xue Rengui and others, these guys seem to be used to submissiveness, but they didn't say a word. This ability to resist pressure is admirable.

In the evening, before the confrontation was over, the Huben army was engaged in sneak attacks throughout the night, rushing directly to the barracks, pouring a bucket of cold water on them, making those frontier soldiers jump like hell!However, no one came out to find trouble, which made Huben Erying very boring.With such a wonderful army, they couldn't find the slightest sense of accomplishment.However, there was an order from Shangfeng, and the soldiers of the Second Battalion still carried out Qin Feng's resignation very well. After the three-day confrontation, the frontier army was unhappy, and the Huben army also felt boring, feeling like adults bullying children.

On the third day, Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui and others also rushed from Suizhou and Yanzhou in minutes, because there is a Yanzhou between Suizhou and Qingzhou, and there is a daytime difference between the two.

Sure enough, as Qin Feng expected, the situation brought by Su Dingfang was exactly the same as the military situation brought by Zhang Shigui and the situation in Gyeongju, not much different.They all emphasize that the frontier soldiers have no fighting spirit.All are submissive.The style of eating and waiting to die, there is no vitality of a soldier, and there is no spirit of a soldier.

For this matter, everyone talked all night long. At first, everyone had the same opinion. In their impression, the frontier soldiers should be very strong.They have been threatened by aliens all year round, live in the flames of war, and guard the tranquility of the frontier.Therefore, throughout the ages, the frontier army has been synonymous with brave men. In many dynasties, the strength of the frontier army was even far better than that of the central army.

Because the Central Army is far away from the battlefield, it is easy to be eroded by luxury life and bewitched by interests.As a result, the generals and schools love money and life, which affects the combat effectiveness of the entire army and is vulnerable to a single blow.In history, there are countless incidents in which the Central Army was vulnerable due to the fall of the border.The most typical example is undoubtedly the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Forbidden Army had been decayed to the extreme. The only soldiers available in the country were the Zhongjia Army and the Zhejia Army of the brothers of the Northwest Zhongshi Daozhong Shizhong. The same was true in the late Ming Dynasty. There are only Guanning cavalry as soldiers, and there are no soldiers available within the dynasty.

But in the Tang Dynasty, this situation was reversed.

Strong inside and weak outside
It is undoubtedly a true portrayal of Tang Jun.

This is also inseparable from the rise of the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty gained a foothold in Guanzhong, it adopted the national policy and military system of fighting the world in Guanzhong, and established the Twelve Army Mansion in the Qinchuan generation in Guanzhong, which is the well-known Guanzhong Twelve Army.In the second year of Emperor Gaozu Wude (AD 619), Guanzhong was divided into twelve roads, that is, twelve administrative regions; each road had an army, a total of twelve armies; there were also several hussars and chariots, each of which belonged to the In the Twelfth Army.In the third year of Wude, the military titles of the [-] armies were awarded respectively: Wanniandao Canqi Army, Chang'an Dao Drum Banner Army, Fuping Dao Xuange Army, Jiuquan Daojing Yue Army, Tongzhou Dao Yulin Army, Huazhou Dao Cavalry Officer Army, Ningzhou Dao Zhewei Army, Qizhou Daoping Dao Army, Binzhou Dao Zhaoyao Army, Xilinzhou Daoyuan Youjun, Jingzhou Daotianji Army, Yizhou Daotianjie Army, each army has a general and deputy general One person, the governor leads the government soldiers to plow and fight.

The Twelfth Army of Guanzhong must be transferred to the Great Tang Conquest. It can be said that most of the entire Tang Dynasty was defeated by the Twelfth Army. The strength of the Twelve Army in Guanzhong can directly represent the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the Guanzhong Twelfth Army is too strong, the development of the Datang army is also moving towards the Guanzhong Twelfth Army.All the excellent equipment should satisfy the Guanzhong Twelfth Army first, and the rewards should be given to the Guanzhong Twelfth Army first, and the glory should also belong to the Guanzhong Twelfth Army.If things go on like this, the Twelfth Army in Guanzhong is getting stronger and stronger, and the various imbalances in the heart of the frontier army have lost their fighting spirit.

It also caused the Turkic army to come, and the frontier army retreated, protecting the main towns from the Turkic capture, while the wolf-like Twelfth Guanzhong Army rushed to the front battlefield under the dispatch of Li Yuan.

This formed a vicious circle, and Datang relied too much on the Twelfth Army.

This kind of thing also happened in history. Li Yuan felt that the world was settled and there was no need for the Twelfth Army in Guanzhong, so he abolished the Twelfth Army system.As a result, the Turkic army attacked, and the Tang army was beaten to pieces, so that the soldiers were frightened, and the three armies were terrified, and did not dare to fight.

Li Shimin had no choice but to personally lead the Xuanjia army with a hundred horses to plunder the formation, and led a hundred people to shout in front of the [-] Turkic army to boost morale, and then forced the Turkic army back.

Li Yuan also restored the Twelfth Army system after this war, which shows the Tang Dynasty's dependence on the Guanzhong Twelfth Army.Now, the twelve armies have been withdrawn and twelve guards have been set up, with different names but the same function, but Datang's reliance on the twelve guards is still the same.

This is why frontier soldiers are as weak as sheep.

This situation is exactly the same as in the period of the Republic of China. The Twelve Guards are equivalent to Principal Jiang's direct troops, and the frontier troops from all over the country have become outcasts that grandpa doesn't love or love.In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, President Jiang’s direct line troops fought bravely. After several large-scale battles, the direct line troops were all disabled. At that time, many local troops were against President Jiang’s secrets and went their own way. Those who don't care about it, still try to rectify others. In the critical period, how many people can fight for the country with a patriotic heart like the Sichuan army, wearing straw sandals?
For the same reason, too!The current mentality of the frontier army is exactly the same as that of the local army in President Jiang's time. On the surface, they all cooperate very well, so that you can't catch any clues.And the reason is very good, you are a direct line of troops, usually you have the best food and clothing, in wartime, it is only natural for you to take the lead; ...Of course!

These are the answers Qin Feng finally got after thinking over and over, combining ancient and modern times, and asking the governor of Gyeongju about the treatment of the frontier army in all aspects.

"This kind of situation is not normal in other eras, but it is normal to have such problems with my Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty." Qin Feng sighed, this problem must be reported to Li Shimin on a flying horse, otherwise the result will be unpredictable .

"General, have you found the reason why the frontier army is weak?" Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui and others asked in surprise, as long as they found the problem, they would be able to prescribe the right medicine.

"That's right, it's caused by the congenital flaws in the military system and the 'eccentricity' between His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor. In fact, it's no wonder the frontier army." Qin Feng explained these reasons to his confidant generals.

Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqing, Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui, Xue Rengui, Fang Yiai, Liu Rengui, Ma Zhou, Du He and others looked at each other in blank dismay before they understood.

"That's why!" Su Dingfang nodded and said, "The general is right. The Twelfth Army is so powerful that the frontier army has been taken away from the limelight and received unfair treatment. It has become a frontier army with no ambition today."

Zhang Shiyi worried: "Because they feel that even if they are working hard, His Majesty's general who is far away in the court will not be able to see it. They feel that the civil and military forces in the court are focusing on the Twelfth Army and ignoring their existence. They The more you think like this, the more unsatisfactory your performance will be, the worse your performance will be, and the less you will be able to get everything a soldier has. You will directly degenerate into today's frontier army, who don't know how to make progress, don't think about making progress, and wait to die for nothing."

Luo Tongtong: "This will form a vicious circle. If it continues to develop, the frontier army will be abolished!"
