Chapter 287: Lebu Yi Tong Pavilion Pottery Qin Yutian Explains the Military System
Chapter 287 Le Buyi’s tongue fighting against Tao in the hall, Qin Yutian’s military system
In today's chaotic times, if you say a thousand words and ten thousand, it is the bottom line. However, if you have soldiers but no food, you can still rob it; if you have food but no soldiers, you can only be robbed. So in the final analysis, having soldiers is the most important thing.
Qin Lei has always pursued a strong army that can advance and dominate the world and retreat and shock the enemy. Even without any organization, he invested millions without hesitation and used the method of dispersed development to expand his guard into an elite of 5,000 people.
Now, there is finally a magnificent opportunity to take charge of the army at the Prince's Mansion of Longwei County. How could everyone not be excited and ready to go?
As soon as Shi Yong raised the question of the new army, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became different. Shi Yong said with a clear voice: "First, it is the organizational issue of the new army. In the preliminary discussion, three plans were formulated. First, according to the 25,000 organization given by the imperial court, all the staff were filled; second, an independent guard was set up outside the reorganization, with a number of about 5,000 people as a special defense force; third..." After a pause, Shi Yong said in a deep voice: "In addition to the formal organization, the second division was formed, with the same organization, with a number of between 15,000 and 20,000 people."
The venue suddenly became noisy, and important members from both military and political parties whispered and had different opinions on the three plans. Several important figures, such as Guantao, Buyi, Huangfu, Yang Wenyu, and Shi Yong, had long been vented by Qin Lei in advance, but they each had their own opinions.
Guantao is the minister of the government affairs temple. He should pay attention to all aspects of the royal palace. Naturally, he hopes that the development of the new army can be carried out step by step. Even if it needs to be expanded, it will be a few years later and the financial resources will be more abundant.
As the chief prodigal son who only spends money, Le Buyi firmly supports Qin Lei's dual-staffing and maintains the ability to expand into two strong troops at any time. As for how much money it costs, it is not a question he is considering.
Huangfu Zhanwen prefers the middle plan. He believes that when the army matures, it is actually more safe to go to the third plan. As a middle-aged man who has experienced ups and downs, he is no longer interested in adventure.
As for Shi Yong, he would not express his opinions on these matters. Yang Wenyu first came and said that he was not suitable to speak on this occasion, so he only brought his ears and did nothing except bowing his head to take notes.
Several people refused to give in to each other, quoted each other widely, and spoke sharply, first arguing, and then arguing, which made Yang Wenyu, who was writing, secretly stunned. He had attended countless meetings, but had never seen such a warm and presumptuous scene, and couldn't help but look up at the prince who was in the head.
But Qin Lei sat there and listened with a smile. He had no other movement except raising the booklet in his hand from time to time to block the splashing spit. Generally, as long as it did not develop into a dispute, Qin Lei would not make a sound to stop it.
Under the attack of Le Xianggu and Zhang Jianzhi, Huangfu Zhanwen was soon defeated, and rubbed the white-haired sweat from his forehead with a wry smile, and whispered to Yang Wenyu next to him: "I had known that these two people had such great skills, I wouldn't have been so ugly." Yang Wenyu nodded and chuckled, and continued to listen to the debate between Guantao and Buyi.
At this time, both sides had already transcended the scope of military organization size and sublimated to the theoretical height of whether to strengthen the army first or strengthen the country first. Guan Tao's index finger tapped on the table and said slowly: "Don't you see that Guanzi's new policy has been called overlords in twenty years; Goujian has been nourishing for twenty years, so he destroyed the powerful Wu in one fell swoop; Wei Yang's reforms were twenty years old, and the Former Qin destroyed the six kingdoms."
He then put his hand into his sleeve and said in a deep voice to Le Buyi: "Any way to use troops is to use thousands of chariots, 100,000 horses, 100,000 armors, and feed food thousands of miles. Then the internal and external expenses, the use of grain and fodder, the materials of rubber paint, and the service of chariots and horses will cost a thousand gold a day. Without the support of abundant national strength, it will not work in one day. If the national strength can barely support it, the army can barely operate, but the generals in the leadership are worried all day long, fearing that when the court will cut off the supply of money, they will not dare to let go of their hands and feet in the end. Ten percent of the combat power cannot be exerted."
With a light cough, Guantao finally said firmly, "Only when the country is rich and the people are strong and the money is full, the army will have no worries and can exert its strongest combat power. This step cannot be reversed, but if it is reversed, it will fall." As he said, he bowed to Qin Lei and said, "Prince, my subordinates insist that we should develop step by step and balance, and there will be no special situations. We cannot blindly pursue military power, which will affect other improvements."
Guantao's speech was reasonable and well-founded, which made everyone present nodded slightly without distinction. Qin Qihou Xin and others bowed to the proposal. For a moment, it seemed as if the overall situation had been decided.
Qin Lei smiled and looked at Le Buyi and said, "I think it makes sense. If the gentleman has no objection, we will make up."
Le Buyi chuckled his beard and said, "The prince will let the students say something later." As he said, he swung his long sleeves, reached out and picked up the teacup, sipped a piece, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, "I want to say that Brother Guantao is very knowledgeable and pragmatic, and can be called a capable minister in governing the world."
Everyone here is full of human spirits. How could he not know that these words were just to suppress them. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and wait for Le Du Tong to fight back.
Le Xianggu naturally would not disappoint them, but he only heard him say indifferently: "But there are rules for troubled times, and Brother Guantao still needs to learn more."
Guantao was not salty and smiled lightly, "Students listen carefully."
Le Xianggu smiled and said, "What is the troubled times? The strong prey of the weak. The winner is the king. Today, the lower three points and the Daqin three points are at the critical moment of success and defeat. Our palace has less than two years of rise, and there is only one battalion of armored soldiers. Compared with others, it can be said to be divided between MSI and Haoyue. If you follow the steps and look at it in a straight line, you may not have developed what I said, and you will not have enough money left." This guy's somewhat vulgar language obviously won the favor of Qiu Ba on the right, and even Yang Wenyu would smile.
Guantao's lips twitched and said with a smile: "Brother Buyi, can the tree without roots last forever? Can the water without source last forever?"
Le Xianggu laughed and said, "So, I still have to learn the rules of this troubled time. I don't know that those who are good at using military forces will no longer be registered and will be used for the country for less than three years. Because the food is for the enemy, the army will have enough food. If you have to wait for yourself to become strong before planning a great cause, it's like your brother Tao who went to a seat, accidentally overslept and got up late. But you still have to wash up in a scrupulous manner, go out steadily, and rush on the road without panic. I'm afraid that if you arrive, you can only lick the bottom of someone else's plate."
There was a dull laughter at the table, but others were laughing at Le Buyi, but they also took into account Guan Tao's face and wanted to laugh but dared not laugh, and the sound was made.
Guantao seemed to have not heard it, and still smiled and said, "According to Brother Buyi's meaning, should our royal family run and develop leapfrogly?"
Le Buyi nodded and smiled, "That's what it means. Build a strong army, and then use this army to steal other people's wealth to support themselves, and develop and grow in battles one after another, rather than relying on their own essence and blood to support them." As he said that, his eyes narrowed, "Brother Guantao's method is like a sheep eating grass, but the method is to eat wolf eating sheep. At present, the eyes are full of herbivorous sheep, why don't we directly transform into wolf?"
Most of the martial artists in the room were from Guantao's government affairs department, and most of them were from the army like Hou Xin and Shi Meng. When they heard this, they naturally felt a lot of appetite, and the balance in their hearts involuntarily turned to Le Buyi.
Guantao was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "If you don't look at your appearance, you will think that the common man is only in his early twenties. His blood is commendable and his students admire him."
Le Buyi smiled and said, "I don't know anything, I will always be twenty-eight."
Qin Lei finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. When the guy below saw the prince laughing, he also burst into laughter, which scared the black guard on the first floor.
Guantao also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Le talked and laughed hard, and he was quite like the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the students admired it." As he said that, he coughed lightly and said, "But look around, are there really so many sheep that can support our young wolf?"
Le Buyi also put his hands back into his sleeves and said lightly: "No."
The laughter in the room came to an abrupt end, and they looked at Le Xianggu, who was not shocking and endlessly, and only heard his elegant voice sound: "I went down to the Dongguerre grassland and lived with the wolf there for a while."
Qin Lei thought to himself: 'This guy must have been heartbroken at that time.'
Le Xianggu continued: "The female wolf there will leave the little wolf when he is half a year old, allowing it to catch prey on the grassland and maintain its survival. However, the grassland has a wide view, and the animals are slender and good at running. It is not that easy for adult wolves to prey, let alone the inexperienced little wolf, who can survive in the end, often less than 20%. I would like to ask Mr. Guantao, what does the female wolf think?"
Guan Tao Sijue for a moment and whispered: "Maybe the living environment is too harsh. Only through this kind of elimination can the strong survive."
Le Buyi said seriously, "Aren't we better than a female wolf?" This was said in a humorous manner, but no one could laugh out loud. Everyone fell into deep thought, and obviously they were convinced by Le Buyi.
Guantao was a bachelor and bowed, "The student has been taught." After that, he sat upright and stopped talking.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Qin Lei said to Xu Tian, who was making the record: "It depends on Mr. Buyi, and the number of people is between 40,000 and 45,000." Xu Tian quickly wrote it down.
Qin Lei then turned to everyone and said, "Mr. Le's words just now are very thought-provoking. Everyone should remember that we are the young wolf. How can we survive in the harsh environment in the future?" As he said that, his fist gently hit the table and said in a deep voice: "Only strengthen our will! Strengthen our physique! Temper our minions!"
Everyone stood up and agreed.
Qin Lei smiled and signaled everyone to sit down, and said to Shi Yong: "Continue."
Shi Yong nodded and said with a clear voice: "There is the structure of the future new army. The prince believes that the current model of our Qin Dynasty cannot maximize efficiency. Therefore, the prince proposed a 'ten team system', with ten people and one team, ten teams and one squadron, ten squadrons and one squadron, and one squadron, and one squadron, and one squadron, and one squadron.
After everyone digested for a while, Shi Yong continued: "One division, ten thousand people are also the strategic unit of our army. There will be no larger organization in peacetime. Only in wartime, several divisions will be organized into an army as needed, and the command will be designated by the commander and commanded by the commander."
Qin Lei nodded and said, "In other words, the commander of the division is directly responsible to the commander, and our royal palace's army will have only these four-level organization." As he said that, he smiled at Yang Wenyu and Huangfu Zhanwen and said, "What do the two generals have any opinions?"
Yang Wenyu took a deep breath. Late last night, Qin Lei found him and after some heart-to-heart talk, he finally accepted his fate. Therefore, he could not just hide his weaknesses, otherwise it would be unfair to be looked down upon by his future colleagues. Thinking of this, he bowed and said loudly: "I came here for a while and did not have the qualifications to speak, but I cannot hide my personal feelings by the prince. My subordinates think that the prince's method is very good. Most of our Great Qin cavalry are. The original military system is too fine, which is not conducive to the cavalry troops that often move on a large scale. Simplifying this way can make the orders conveyed more smoothly, and it is easier to form a joint force, which is conducive to the improvement of combat power."
After a pause, he carefully said: "But if our army wants to grow and grow, it is absolutely impossible to have a cavalry alone. There must be infantry and navy. The organization requirements of these troops are more refined, which is not necessarily suitable for this method." These words included both pertinent analysis and appropriate extension. Although they were not as sharp as Guantaole Buyi's words, they were more stable and down-to-earth.
Qin Lei nodded and said with a gentle voice: "What Wen Yu said is so much, what does General Huangfu have to think?" Huangfu Zhanwen pondered: "The prince is so good, and my subordinates have a little doubt. The military situation changes rapidly, and the general needs to make a quick decision. Now it is better to say that Jingshan Camp is a bigger place. If the territory is larger in the future, will it be inappropriate to not have a permanent position like Marshal Zhennan and Marshal Zhengdong?"
Qin Lei smiled and said to Le Buyi: "Look, there are people who agree with you."
Le Buyi smiled and said, "Then please let the prince convince General Huangfu again."
Qin Lei smiled and said, "First of all, both generals agree. This method is effective at least in the short term, right?" The two nodded and said respectfully: "The prince is wise."
Qin Lei waved his hand and said, "First of all, Gu knew nothing about the navy, so the matter of the navy will be discussed separately in the future. As for the infantry, in Gu's vision, before the Three Kingdoms are unified, we will try to avoid mountainous and dense forests, which are not conducive to cavalry operations, so the only task of the infantry is to attack cities and villages. The number does not need too many, and it will not become the main force. You can set up a single army and discuss it separately."
Yang Wenyu nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand."
Qin Lei turned to Huangfu Zhanwen again and said, "When the area we control is large enough, I will redefine the authority of the Governor's position. It will no longer interfere in local government affairs, but will become the highest military commander in the area under its jurisdiction, and will act as the commander's recruitment, mobilization, and alert power in the area under its jurisdiction. In other words, all armed forces within the area under its jurisdiction must obey its orders." He added lightly: "But as long as the army leaves the area under its jurisdiction, it has nothing to do with the Governor."
Huangfu Zhanwen did not respond to the intention of this move for the time being and whispered: "How is this different from the current border marshal?"
Le Buyi glanced at him and chuckled, "It's a big difference. In this way, the governor is like a hotel owner, and the army is like a passenger. When guests arrive at this hotel, they naturally have to follow the arrangements of the boss, but after this store, no one knows anyone."
Qin Lei smiled and said, "The words are rough but not rough."
Le Buyi said aggrievedly: "I am actually a gentleman."
After listening to Le Buyi's explanation, Huangfu Zhanwen finally understood that the prince's move was to prevent the tyranny of the military, but no one would take it to the point of being said on the surface, so he could only understand it.
He thought well. Since he was about to do something in this world, Qin Lei has been thinking hard about how to find a balance between preventing military men from becoming a country and preventing civil servants from trashing the country.
In his original world, it was precisely because of the relaxation of control over military personnel that the vassal states led to separatist rule by the vassal states. In the end, the central government was in name only for hundreds of years, and the warlords were finally destroyed by warlords. In the next five generations and ten countries, there was a warlord fight in the melee, and whoever had more soldiers would be kings. There was no reason to say. It was not until Zhao Kuangyin, the largest warlord usurped the country of his benefactor and became the emperor of the Song Dynasty that he made up his mind to change this chronic disease that had plagued China for a hundred years.
But the old bastard used the method to be useless. He actually suppressed the generals into the sewer and asked civil officials to lead troops to fight. Instead, the problem of military servants as a country was solved. However, the country's roots were castrated, and since then, the history of impotence in the Chinese nation for nearly a thousand years was opened. The heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties was gone, leaving only the "singing and singing" of the Song Dynasty, the "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" of the Ming Dynasty, and the pig tail.
