Chapter 1003 Law for future generations
The Fu soldiers of the Hussar Prefecture and the Fu soldiers of the Yuwentai period are two completely different entities. Although the two have origins, they are very different in terms of organizational methods and the living conditions of the soldiers themselves.
Because the previous Fubing was formed by recruiting powerful troops, the key to maintaining the Fubing organization was the middle and lower-level commanders and generals. Each state selects its chief commander to command the local soldiers, who are the government soldiers who have not been fully reorganized.
By analogy, when the Western Wei army conquers new territory, it can also recruit local powerful people and their tribes to become new soldiers. This is the basic model for the continuous expansion of the army army.
Although the upper level of the Fubing maintained a personnel structure of twelve generals of the Six-Pillar Kingdom for a certain period of time, the middle and lower levels continued to expand, in this way to improve the military mobilization power of the Western Wei regime.
Li Tai's military construction in Shannan Road actually followed this pattern, strengthening his military power by accepting and annexing powerful local tribes. But in addition, he also insisted on recruiting to expand the army directly under the command of the state capital and later Xingtai, and these armies have always served as the main military force.
Yu Wentai had exhausted all the elite soldiers and had no choice but to recruit powerful Han people. If we want to make an analogy, Li Tai's military power is similar to Gao Huan, who holds the elite troops of six towns. He ensures his own strong strength while absorbing new help.
Even the cohesion of Li Tai's army is higher than that of Jinyang soldiers, because the team has been under Li Tai's support and control since its formation, and there is no so-called "waiting for the barbarians" who can compete with Li Tai. This is one of the reasons why he can maintain a relatively strong style whether in Shannan or elsewhere.
Li Tai did not intend to fundamentally reverse the expansion model of the imperial army, because it could indeed ensure that the regime could enhance its military strength at a relatively low cost, and would be conducive to the integration and management of newly conquered areas.
The Hussar Mansion is a new organization based on the original Fubing system, and can also be regarded as an advanced state of the current Fubing.
In the Hussar Mansion, the soldiers are no longer a group of soldiers who are highly dependent on the military leader. Each of them is an independent individual who owns land and has become a meritorious landowner engaged in the military profession. Both personal social status and living situation have been fundamentally changed.
Of course, if you want to carry out such a reform, you can't just slap your forehead and talk in a dream, and the prerequisites are also extremely demanding.
Previously in Xiangyang, Li Tai used the credit of destroying the country and took a large amount of land from the local tyrants in Xiangyang in the name of rewarding the meritorious servicemen and gave it to the soldiers. However, he did not spread it to other areas and wantonly destroyed the rural order in Shannan area. and resource allocation.
Now in Guanzhong, that is because the original military structure of the Bafu was almost destroyed due to the failure of the Eastern Expedition and Yu Wenjue's chaos. A large number of remnant soldiers were defeated and lost their original organization. Li Tai also returned to the country with great achievements, so that he could Something was created amidst such ruins.
If the original military structure in Guanzhong had not collapsed so completely, even if Li Tai had such thoughts, it would be difficult for things to progress so smoothly. Even if he has a good relationship with the local tyrants and military leaders in Guanzhong, why should they entrust their troops and land properties to him for redistribution?
Now that the military government is established, various management procedures still need to continue to be adjusted to find and correct problems. For example, for a basic recruitment of soldiers, a new system needs to be established.
Originally, the soldiers of the government were all gathered in the military cities and fortresses. They only needed to give an order from the general to complete the assembly immediately. But now that the soldiers of the government are scattered in the countryside after the land is granted, for example, the sergeants of Xianyang's Hussar Prefecture are distributed among three nearby counties, and it is difficult to complete the assembly in as short a time as before.
Moreover, since land is granted to each household and private property is acquired, selfishness will become stronger. For example, a sergeant did not line up to greet Li Tai because of lack of work at home. Of course, such a welcome and farewell ceremony is nothing, but what if it is a serious and urgent combat mission?
Therefore, reform has always been an issue that affects the whole body. Two seemingly unrelated elements are often closely connected by a thread.
The current summons order implemented by the military mansion is divided into three levels: small, medium and large. The small one is regular gathering. Three hundred soldiers must come to the military mansion every day to be on duty and be responsible for the daily maintenance of the military mansion. In a Hussar mansion with three thousand people, every soldier must be on duty for one day every ten days.
CIMC has to complete a month-long guard and training mission with a thousand soldiers as a unit every season. Daji is the highest level of war mobilization order. At least two-thirds of the armored soldiers must be recruited. If necessary, all the armored soldiers of the Hefu must be mobilized to complete the combat mission. Of course, this highest level of mobilization has not been experienced yet.
Judging from such a call-up order, the service tasks of the soldiers are quite heavy. Each quarter lasts for one month, plus regular attendance every ten days, which means that they have to spend more than five months every year. Be in a state of call.
But you must know that the former soldiers had to be on standby all year round. Even during non-war periods, they had to live in military camps and military cities and could not break away from the group and act privately.
However, due to the land granted by the Hussar Prefecture, it is basically difficult for the Hussar Prefecture’s sergeants to be summoned for such a long time every year to take into account farming and production. Moreover, most of the current Husbandry sergeants are elites selected from the original Fubing system. They often live alone and have few parents, brothers, and adult children to share the household chores.
Therefore, it is also an urgent issue to issue them slaves and slaves to take care of production. This task must be completed at least before the autumn harvest.
The second issue is the treatment of the military officers. The officers themselves are exempted from rent, but their parents, wives and children are not included. Of course, this problem can be ignored at the moment, mainly to prevent and eliminate the shelter space that will be created in the future.
The land received by honorary knights is divided into honorary land and granted land. According to the current regulations of land granting by the court, one honorary grant will grant ten acres of land and one grant will grant thirty acres of land. However, this was a preferential treatment given at the beginning of the land granting. In the future, as the number of knights in the Hussars increases, the land granting will definitely be greatly reduced.
Among them, hontian is completely exempt from land rent and can be passed down from generation to generation, but the premise is that the person who inherits hontian must also be an honorary in the government. Half rent is charged for granting land, and after the knights disarm and retire, the granting land needs to be returned to the military government, and the military government will redistribute it to other meritorious officers.
As for the land granted to the oxen and horse slaves, the rent will be collected as usual according to the rules for granting land to the people. This provision is also to prevent the masses from making contributions in order to be exempted from rent and adjust taxes.
Although there are many rules and restrictions, compared to the previous situation of poverty and poverty, today's military officers are undoubtedly much better treated, and their social status and economic situation have surpassed that of many self-cultivators.
Perhaps while receiving these benefits, they also need to obey the orders of the military government and serve the hegemony. Although the military government granted land, it still maintained the characteristics of the former soldiers. The soldiers were responsible for personal weapons, weapons, supplies and luggage. It's just that their respective military commanders were responsible for this matter before, but now they need to make preparations themselves.
Because of this demand, it is determined that the Fubing Masters are not ordinary small farmers after all. Their needs are greater, and they need to trade with the outside world. Because the luggage sticks they need not only cannot be produced by themselves, but also cannot be mass-produced by the private sector, and must be purchased through special channels.
In addition to coordinating the production and distribution training of the soldiers, the Hussar Mansion also needs to meet the daily needs of the soldiers. Therefore, in addition to the daily administrative agencies, it also has a military market and a weapons workshop.
When Li Tai asked these questions, Shuofeng's answers were somewhat stumbling. When the military government was first established and PepsiCo was busy, he had been focusing on personnel issues during this period and did not have a deep understanding of it. But fortunately, there is a long history to supplement it, and each incident is introduced in an orderly manner.
"Ming Ze is responsible for his work, he is shrewd and capable, and his success is the legacy of his father!"
After listening to Chang Shi's replay, Li Tai looked at the other party and praised him with a smile.
This long history was named Li Bing, and he was the heir of Li Hu. He was about the same age as Shuifeng. The reason why he was appointed as the chief historian of the Huqi Prefecture was because Li Hu had been in Gyeonggi for a long time, and many of his old troops were stationed in Xianyang. Because Li Hu died too early, his old troops were less affected by the subsequent political turmoil.
In order to avoid any serious disputes between the newly established Hussar Prefecture and the original warriors of this town, Li Tai appointed Li Bing to serve as the long history of several phoenixes. He also wanted to use Li Hu's remaining power and connections to avoid some internal conflicts in personnel matters. .
After hearing this, Li Bing quickly lowered his head and said: "I am unknown in the world, but fortunately I have been favored by the Lord and chosen to be in charge of important matters in the military government. How dare I not do my best!"
Li Tai is quite satisfied with Li Bing's attitude towards his work. At least he is not the kind of playboy who relies on his father's shadow to live a leisurely life. Moreover, this boy was about to become his brother-in-law. He had already been engaged to the Dugu family when his father was still alive. However, he mourned for his father soon after, and then the current situation was turbulent. In addition, Dugu Xin died, and the wedding date was postponed again and again. Wait, the marriage hasn't been consummated yet.
"When the military government was first established, everything was unfamiliar. All the rules and regulations were established as laws for future generations. You and other people who are involved must also remember not to be negligent because things are complicated, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and do things with care. If you have any insights, , we must also report it in time!”
Li Tai looked at the people present at the Military Mansion and said seriously that the Hussar Mansion is his most important military reform and the foundation and essence of the future military force in Guanzhong. There is no room for sloppiness!
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly responded respectfully, and after Li Bing pondered for a while, he spoke again: "Since I joined the military government, I have particularly felt that it is inconvenient for soldiers to go to the market to buy. The measurement of money and silk is messy, so there are disputes. There are many, and the failure of the transaction will harm the harmony."
