Chapter 888
It has been three or four years since Zhao Yu returned from modern time and space. This is the second time he has come to Cao's Mansion. I remember that the last time seemed to be when the auto speed car was just made.
In the past few years, Cao Mengde's important figure has many new faces.
Introduction, Zhao Yu laughed at a feast and paid respect for them.
Among these new faces, there are Guo Jia, Chen Qun, Zhong Yao and other talents recommended by Xun Yu and Xun You, as well as those who were admitted during the war, such as Zhang Yang. There are also some people who have come up in recent years. Their names are unfamiliar, but they are definitely extraordinary people to sit in the hall.
Dragon Snake was born in the grass and rises as a hero in troubled times. Because of the appearance of Zhao Yu, this world has been changed, and many people who may be buried have also risen up to write their own strokes on this glorious stage.
At this glance, looking all over the hall, Civilian Court Official officers and talents are amazing.
Cao Mengde sits on his head and said with a smile: "Mr. came suddenly, but at the right time. I have just discussed with the monarchs and encountered many problems, and I just need Mr. to answer. ."
Today, Cao Mengde convened civil and military affairs to discuss two things.
One is to expand the army.
With the rapid expansion of the territory, the original military strength gradually became stretched and not enough. Since the beginning of the year, when the northern army was still attacking the barbarians, Cao Mengde opened the prelude to the recruitment of troops. Now, more than half a year later, as many as 100,000 new recruits have been recruited!
But according to Cao Mengde's idea, adding 100,000 is still not enough. He intends to take the final steps to dominate the world at most two years after calming down the north.
The number of recruits is 100,000, and the number of veterans is more than 100,000, and the total is less than 2050,000. An empire is huge, with a territories of thousands of miles, and twenty 50,000 troops, which is definitely not enough.
According to the background that Cao Mengde now possesses, Xun Yu suggested to recruit another 200,000 troops and temporarily control the troop strength within 500,000.
This suggestion was adopted by Cao Mengde.
But the key is that the 200,000 troops are selected from the who group.
Some people think that as a result of the war against the barbarians in the north, there are 300,000 young men captured. It is entirely possible to select a part of these three 100,000 people and charge them into the army.
Their reasons are not unreasonable-the northern Xinding, commoners Si'an, people's livelihood agriculture is the top priority. Recruiting soldiers from commoners under the rule would delay the restoration of people's livelihood.
People who oppose it are not without reason-Cao Jun is very different from the previous army because it wants to popularize the five elements boxing classic. The importance of five elements Quanjing is self-evident. Last year, Cao Mengde issued a ban, prohibiting the spread of boxing scriptures to Hulu barbarians. Hulu is awe-inspiring but not virtuous, leading beasts and cannibals, without a bottom line, all are thankless wretch. It is difficult to keep the mystery of the five elements fist classics when the barbaric prisoners are charged into the army.
The two sides are vying for this.
As for the second thing, it is also about capture and distribution.
The projects planned by Cao Mengde, Xun Yu and the others, such as road construction, fortification, and canal excavation. Which one first, which one, where to start, or at the same time, how many people and how much food are needed for each project? , How to monitor the prisoners, avoid chaos, how to treat them, etc. And the diversion of several millions of livestock and Cao Mengde’s proposal to establish pastures on the grasslands.
This is not a problem, it's just a bit more complicated, so some discussion is needed.
Cao Mengde said: "At the beginning of the year, the medicinal herb that my husband suggested was planted on a large scale, and now it has gradually spread. Pastures will also be established along with it. I mainly want to hear my husband’s views on conscription."
Zhao Yu slightly nodded, said with a smile: "Every monarch has his own reason, but with me, I don’t agree with the proposal of being a barbarian to join the army."
The voice fell. Then Chen Qun handed his hand: "I hope Mr. Wen has a good opinion."
Chen Qun is one of the people who suggested that the barbarian prisoners should be enlisted in the army.
Zhao Yu murmured with a smile, and said: "I have a story here, listen to all the monarchs."
"There is a dynasty established in the ruins of Divine Continent At the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, the internal pillar was the Aristocratic Family giants. Even the Imperial Family was one of the Aristocratic Family. Because of the establishment of the dynasty, the Aristocratic Family giants played a huge role in it, so after the dynasty was established, the words of the Aristocratic Family giants The power is so great that the Imperial Family is constrained."
As soon as this sentence was finished, many people in the audience changed their expressions.
Just listen to Zhao Yu continuing: "Although the Imperial Family is firmly seated, but it is constrained. In order to counterbalance the Aristocratic Family, the Imperial Family has introduced foreign influence."
" The imperial family of this dynasty has the bloodline of the Huren. Under the persecution of the giants of the Aristocratic Family, they have formulated many strategies to check and balance the Aristocratic Family while opening their arms to outsiders. The giants of the Aristocratic Family inherited poetry and books, so more Civilian Court Official. Therefore, the Imperial Family of this dynasty introduced the barbarian influence into the army to compete with the Civilian Court Official of the Aristocratic Family."
"At the same time, all of their advanced Things, such as various technologies, were opened free of charge, which made the surrounding barbarians rejoice, and even gave an emperor the title of'Tian Khan'."
When Cao Mengde heard this, he couldn't help but He laughed again and again: "Shit-khan. The emperor is the emperor, and willing to be the so-called khan is self-willing and depraved. How ridiculous?!"
Zhao Yu laughed, indifferent expression, and continued: The influence of the barbarians took root in the army. Some of them were completely assimilated and considered themselves to be non-husbands. However, some were completely thankless wretch. Gradually, the vassals were formed in frontiers and places. "
"So once there is a change in the dynasty, the barbarians will raise their troops to backlash?!" Guo Jia said suddenly.
Zhao Yu smiled and nodded: "What Feng Xiao said is not bad. The emperor who created a prosperous age, in his later years, was driven out of the capital by the influence of the barbarian town that he personally supported, and finally ended up. A bleak evening scene. A big dynasty declined rapidly, and it did not last long before it perished. After the dynasty’s demise, the barbarians who moved inward established many countries on the northern land and conquered each other for many years before being killed by another dynasty. Replace."
The story is short, and after speaking, the hall is silent.
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Or don’t let the barbarians take charge of soldiers as generals, but only as cannon fodder. However, the army has its own military rules, and once a war is fought, there will always be barbarians who will do meritorious service. one or two times It can be captured without reward. However, three or five times, meritorious service must be promoted. If it is not promoted, suppressed by force, with barbaric animality, it must be mutiny. It is better not to do so. And if promoted, sooner or later, there will be barbarians who will become the General. Even worse."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu sighed: "If you want to use a barbarian, you have to discount its spine and wear away its animality. In the corners, ordinary operations can be used. And like The army, officials, and important technologies cannot be opened up to them before this. Otherwise, they will bury themselves in trouble. In my opinion, there will be barbarian prisoners after that, and they will use their lives to build the country. Three hundred thousand people died. Ten thousand, the backbone will be broken, the animal nature will wear away, and then with its merits, to forgive slave status, grant civilian status, and gradually fully integrate, only the Han, and no Hus, regardless of ethnicity. This is the way through the ages. ."
