The Sui Dynasty's Military System and the Interim Interpretation of the First Stage of the Liaodong

The Sui Dynasty followed and developed the military system of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties.

The military system of the government changed a lot in the Sui Dynasty. The military government was named the Cavalry Mansion, with the General of the Cavalry as the chief. The soldiers began to be registered and engaged in production. [..com]

During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, the soldiers of the government were recruited directly from the people. When a man was over 21 years old, he could join the soldiers of the government.

In the third year of Daye (607 AD), the mansion of General Cavalry was changed to Yingyang Mansion.

The commander was General Yingyanglang. The soldiers were called "Guardians". The system of the Guardian government was becoming more perfect, and the centralization of power was strengthened in the military system. Under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, the government soldiers across the country were divided into 12 guards, and 12 guardians were established. Each guardian government governed one army, with one general and two generals; four generals of Hu Ben and six generals of Hu Ya.

In the third year of Daye of Emperor Yang (607), the twelve prefectures were added to the four prefectures of the Twelve Prefectures, collectively known as the Sixteen Prefectures or the Sixteen Prefectures (later generations also commonly known as the Sixteen Prefectures).

The twelve guards are: the left and right guards (formerly the left and right guards),

Left and Right Guard (formerly Left and Right Marquis Mansion)

The left and right imperial guards (newly established); the four palaces are:

Left and right house (formerly left and right lead left and right house)

The left and right sects (still named).

The twelve guards are in charge of the government soldiers, and the capital is in the capital; the four guards do not control the government soldiers, and the left and right guards are responsible for guarding the emperor;

The left and right guards are divided into palace access controls and are the inner guards.

The troops under the twelve guards are called "foreign troops", and each has its military names as follows:

The cavalry (belongs and lefts and rights guards),

Leopard Cavalry (belongs and lefts and right guards),

Xiongqu (belongs to the left and right Wuwei),

Yulin (belongs to the left and right guards),

Shooting sound (belongs and lefts and rights guards),

Fly (belongs to the left and right guards).

In addition, the left and right guards also commanded the "Inner Army". "Inner Army" refers to the five military prefectures under the left and right guards (the three military prefectures in the Sui Dynasty were the three military prefectures under the Tang Dynasty, and the three military prefectures under the Eastern Palace, and the soldiers of the three military prefectures under the Eastern Palace were all served by the children of high-ranking officials.

The Twelve Guards established Yingyang Mansion nationwide, with 1,200 people in the main office, 1,200 people in the central office, and 800 people in the lower office. Each of the guards established Yingyanglang as the main officer, Yingjilang as the secondary officer, with the infantry lieutenant, Yueqi lieutenant, Sima, Changshi, Cang, and Bing, etc. under the jurisdiction of Caoshi.

According to the strategy of "maintaining Chinese and foreign ministers, focusing on the first and forbidden areas", the military office was divided into capital and important areas. In addition to being temporarily ordered to conquer, the 12 guards were usually mainly garrisoned by the capital guards and other important military sites or important facilities. The military soldiers, the imperial soldiers and other troops used each other and clamped each other so that the emperor could control the army and maintain national unity.

According to the system of the government troops, there are 10 people in a group of ten people, and a team leader is set up. Five gangs are a team of 50 people, and a team of deputys and a team of chiefs are set up.

The two teams have 100 people in one brigade and a brigade commander. The two brigades have 200 people in one brigade and a marshal.

The soldiers of the government brought their own weapons, armor and pack horses. In addition to spending about three months a year for training, they took turns to take responsibility for entering the Beijing military guards.

During the war, the Great Sui army would carry out the marching system, mobilize the troops and reorganize them.

There are four sources of troops in the marching system, one is to draw the government soldiers.

The second-hand recruitment system is not a temporary recruitment system, but a system of soldiers for those who are responsible. It is a system of sending soldiers to local governments according to needs, and they also have to prepare their own equipment.

The third is the foreign soldiers. The foreign soldiers are the armed forces of ethnic minorities, and are generally ethnic tribes belonging to the Sui Dynasty. They sent troops to fight during the war. For example, when the Sui army once attacked the Khitan, they summoned some Turkic soldiers.

Fourth, they are Xiaoguo and the athletes. These are voluntary soldiers, the court fights, and the volunteer soldiers are recruited to participate in the war, and they must be strong and brave men.

As for marching, there is a system that is completely different from the past. For example, the usual army is basically scattered across the country by Yingyang Mansion.

The march gathers soldiers from four sources together, recruits soldiers according to the needs of the war, and dispatches large troops.

According to the scale of the war, the number of soldiers dispatched and the number of generals.

If it is a war, a marshal or a marshal will be sent to a marshal or a marshal will be in charge of several marshals, and then the lieutenant will be followed by the brigade commander, and there will be no more brigade commander in the establishment of the mansion and the mansion level. The army will no longer be based on Yingyang Mansion, but on the army.

Each army has 20,000 people, including combat troops and baggage troops, 14,000 soldiers and 6,000 auxiliary soldiers. The war soldiers are divided into teams and stationed teams. The team is responsible for combat charges when fighting, and the stationed team is a escort formation, and they will only go up when they are victorious.

All combat soldiers are divided into infantry and horse army according to different types, and infantry is divided into crossbow soldiers, archers, jumpers, and surprise soldiers.

According to the record of the military arrangements of Wei Li Jing, the master of military strategy at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he divided each army into seven parts in each battle.

For the Central Army,

Zuo Yuhou,

Right Yuhou,

The left armies,

Two armies on the right wing.

All the soldiers and horses were composed of fifty men and two hundred to three hundred men.

"The central army is 4,000, and 2,800 soldiers are taken in the inner army, and 50 are a team. There are 56 teams. In the battle army, there are 400 crossbowmen, 400 archers, 1,000 horse soldiers, 500 jumpers, and 500 surprise soldiers.

There is one army on the left and right quarrels, each with 2,800 troops, each with 1,900 soldiers, totaling 76 teams. In the war soldiers, each army has 300 crossbowmen, 300 archers, 500 horsemen, 400 jumpers, and 400 surprise soldiers.

There were two armies on the left and right sides, each with 2,600 troops, and each with 1,850 soldiers. In the war soldiers, each army had 250 crossbowmen, 300 archers, 500 horsemen, 400 jumpers, and 400 surprise soldiers.

The horse and stance plan is 14,000, with a total of 280 teams in battle, and the remaining 6,000 people guarding the baggage. Among them, 2,000 crossbowmen, 2,200 archers, 2,900 jumpers, 2,900 surprise soldiers, and 4,000 horse soldiers.

Among the Sui Dynasty's army, in addition to the four categories of foreign troops, inner guards, foreign troops, recruiting troops, Xiaoguo and athletes, there was another very important type of troops, namely, the rural soldiers who emerged in various places at the end of the day.

Township soldiers are informally organized soldiers and horses, which are militias and horses that are spontaneously organized by local families, powerful people, landlords, gentry and people when the court and local governments are no longer able to suppress the rebellious forces in various places.

The characteristic of the village soldiers is that they are initiated by the local government, there is no formal organization, nor are there generals appointed by the court, and there are not many people. Generally, they only need to register in the local counties and counties. When local bandits are rampant, a small amount of weapons and armor can be allowed to possess a small amount.

In Muzi's book at the end of the Sui Dynasty, after the protagonist first gained a foothold in Liaodong, in order to gain more troops, he could not expand his troops privately without the official appointment of the court. Therefore, the protagonist initially recruited a large number of troops, but existed as a village soldier, which was also a way to take advantage of loopholes.

The township soldiers were not organized, had no officials, and the court was not responsible for weapons, armor, logistics, food and grass, and food for soldiers. They were completely spontaneous organizations.

In order to highlight that these people are rural soldiers, the protagonist deliberately temporarily changed the organization. In order to show the characteristics of rural soldiers, he chose the army organization that was only available in later generations, which is also to avoid suspicion.

However, this method in the book is just a temporary measure to avoid the court's use of this crime.

When the protagonist obtained the official military organization authorization of the court, the temporary temporary division and battalion company organization was cancelled and officially replaced by the army, battalion, regiment and team organization of the Sui Dynasty.
