In the beginning, the military system was simple and crude. There was no distinction between civil and military, and the military and the government were integrated. Although the local feudal lords had a certain ability to mobilize troops, they had to listen to the central royal family. There were policies from above and countermeasures from below, so it became common for local feudal lords to raise private armies and form private armed forces.
The military power was too dispersed, and it naturally buried hidden dangers for the entire society.
In order to comply with the political and economic system, the military system reform was also urgent. The military and government began to be separated and transformed into a highly centralized military system with the monarch as the center. Civil and military officials began to be separated, and the system of rewarding military achievements became clearer. The source of soldiers was shifted from a single channel to the common people, and then the pressure of military taxes was shifted to the common people. The military force was further expanded and strengthened, which was conducive to war mobilization.
Nowadays, the military system was more complicated and ever-changing. Take Dongqing as an example. During times of peace, in order to ensure the stability of the source of soldiers, the Dongqing royal family ordered that the families of the soldiers be included in the military, forcing them to join the army for generations. During times of war, they forced ordinary people to join the army and forced them to risk their lives as soldiers.
The word 'military' was not a good word for ordinary people.
If not for Jiang Pengji's various measures, the people would have avoided the "military record."
The soldiers under this kind of military system naturally did not have a high level of battle accomplishment. They would slack off in battle, at most a little better than the marines.
Local powers could also use money to recruit a large number of private armed forces, such as Jiang Pengji's former troops.
The military systems of the five countries were almost the same, and most of them were inherited from the era of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Due to the different national conditions, there were slight changes.
Jiang Pengji was very ambitious. She was not satisfied with the current situation. She wanted her army to become the real elite!
She had been thinking about military reform for a long time. She already had a draft in her mind, and Yang Si listened attentively.
The two of them would discuss in low voices from time to time. Time passed quickly.
The more Yang Si listened, the more shocked he became. At the same time, his evaluation of Jiang Pengji increased.
The fact that his lord was able to gain so many diehard fans showed that she was very charming.
He said, "If I do this, will anyone object?"
Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes.
"What are they against? It's not like they've ever tasted what it's like to be paid for nothing. They won't feel bad if they lose what they've never gotten. "
Yang Si choked and was immediately speechless.
He could not help but wonder when his lord had the idea of military reform. Did she start planning early?
Jiang Pengji and Yang Si were talking about the issue of one person having more than one position and more salary. To give the simplest example, if Yang Si had more than one position, he alone could receive the salary corresponding to his position. In reality, only one of the many positions was real, the others were just empty titles. To put it more simply, he did the work of one person, but in the end, he took the salary of several people, which led to the waste of resources.
Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang from Jiang. "Jiang and," Jiang and outside, Jiang from Jiang.
"Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang title." Whoever Jiang Jiang, they would to work, to, to work.
To, they.., and had and service. and workers.
"Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang terms," Jiang were. were to be. and in times. to times.
It wasn't a big problem in peacetime, but in times of war, it was a fatal point.
..................................... According to the current system, there were too many monks and not enough gruel. In the long run, it would be detrimental to internal stability and development.
The two of them talked from noon to sunset and happened to mention military discipline.
Yang Si said, "In my opinion, the strict discipline of the army under your rule is already rare in the world."
To what extent could he change it further?
Jiang Pengji shook her head and said, "You can't put it that way. On the surface, no one has committed any crimes, but has there not been a single case of breaking the law secretly?"
Yang Si was silent for a moment. He really couldn't guarantee it.
Nothing was absolute. War was so chaotic, and it was hard to guarantee that no one would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble and bully the common people.
Jiang Pengji continued, "They don't dare now because I'm still young and I'm still a deterrent. If I'm no longer around after a hundred years, the deterrence will no longer exist, and the general leading them will have evil intentions … At that time, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. The entire army will cover up for each other, deceiving their superiors and subordinates. Won't the victim be the one suffering? As the saying goes, 'The people don't fight with the officials, and they don't fight with the army'. If there are really villains causing trouble, it will be really hard to guard against. "
Yang Si smiled bitterly. "My lord, you're thinking too far ahead."
Although he said so, he still agreed with Jiang Pengji's words in his heart.
His lord wanted to reform the army. She hoped that in the future, without a wise and mighty leader, the military camp could still maintain a sense of righteousness.
"I've heard a saying: Loyalty is because the bargaining chips for betrayal are too low," Jiang Pengji said, "Similarly, law-abiding is because the bargaining chips for breaking the law are not enough. If the bargaining chips for breaking the law are tempting, there will naturally be people who will take the initiative to trample on the law … Then, I will increase the price that needs to be paid for breaking the law. It will be so painful that no one dares to touch the bottom line. Jing Rong, what do you think of this idea? "
After listening, Yang Si laughed and teased, "My lord, you should say this to Wenbin. If he hears this, he will definitely regard it as a famous saying to warn the world."
Wasn't the "law" that Han Yu pursued all his life?
Jiang Pengji said, "Just say it's good or not. Why do you drag Wenbin into this?"
"It's good, but …" Yang Si said, "Going too far is as bad as not going far enough."
His lord's idea was very good, but there had to be a limit. Otherwise, it would be counterproductive.
Jiang Pengji nodded and said, "I know this. That's why I want to unify the management of military records and record them. If anyone violates military discipline, not only will they cut off their own path to promotion, but they will also implicate their descendants. They won't be able to enter politics or the military for three generations, and their descendants won't be able to enjoy all the benefits of being a soldier's family. In the future, when the Golden Scale Academy expands its branches, the descendants of soldiers who have made mistakes will also be rejected … "
Yang Si secretly touched his nose.
He had just told her that "going too far is as bad as not going far enough." His lord directly made a ruthless move.
If this system was implemented, who would dare to commit a crime?
The price of committing a crime was too high.
Many people had the obsession of "carrying on the family line and bringing honor to their ancestors" in their minds.
Once military discipline was violated, not only would it bring shame to their ancestors, but it would also harm the future of their descendants.
In some ways, this was more painful than killing someone.
Jiang Pengji said, "This is just a general idea. As for how to decide, we still have to wait for everyone to gather and brainstorm."
Apart from this, Jiang Pengji and Yang Si also discussed a lot. Jiang Nongqin looked at his lord with stars of worship in her eyes.
Yang Si was angry at first glance. Wasn't he better-looking than his lord?
He had wasted a lot of saliva this afternoon. Why didn't she take pity on him?
"Where's mine?"
Yang Si asked the water bag in Jiang Nongqin's hand eagerly.
Jiang Nongqin sneered. "No, this is my lord's."
Yang Si was speechless.
