Chapter 471
Sophie was politely invited by Shia ’s Guard Captain into the county hall of Junte, and Junker came naturally. (Ad-free Reading Network) Although Xia ’s order only invited Sophie to be alone, at Sophie's insistence, the guard captain could only promise to bring Juncker together.
As a soldier from a strong riding camp, Charlie ’s guard captain was not a good talker, but when Charlie sent him, he specifically ordered: Be polite.
In the chamber, Mad Dog Green has left.
For senior Green, the old mad dog sent Xia to invite such a little girl to discuss such important matters. From the bottom of her heart, there are some disapprovals. One is just a young girl. what? Even if she was a close disciple of Cavill Hill, even if Cavill Hill praised her highly, Crazy Dog Green would not really think that a little girl could help herself to solve these major military affairs problem.
He even thinks that it is a little trick for Xia to find such a little girl to discuss the affairs of the militarism.
It's just that Green remained silent. (Support Wu brother back)
What needs to be mentioned is that since Charlie defeated the Odin Chixue Army, restored Siltan County, and conquered the Corsica region, he achieved an unprecedented victory. With his noble personal prestige, especially the cavalry, he was respected by the martial arts coach. The composition of the cavalry units of Charya is partly Rhoderian cavalry and partly from Nene's horse thief gang. The remaining numbers recruited from various armies accounted for only a very small percentage.
For the Rhoderian cavalry, Charya is their former colleague. The same origin makes it easy for them to develop a sense of identity with Charya.
As for those horse thieves, not to mention the heart didn't hear what they called Shaya behind them? "Aunt"! That's just my family.
Therefore, in the group under Her Majesty, cavalry troops have always been loyal to the city. On the contrary, he did not really value Green's empire. Although respect is sufficient, he may not be willing to give up.
Green's prestige is mainly in the infantry units-most of the infantry units come from the original Sixth and Seventh Regiments. Those officers and soldiers from the regular Central Army prefer to pay attention to "out * ......" The guy from Ye Luzi (welcome to the hunting country), before the war, was just a local defense officer. But Green is different. "Green is a genuine hawk-born," a disciple of the old Duke of Minas, a senior director of the Imperial Academy, and also a commander of the regular army ... this kind of origin "makes it easier to get infantry officers Agree.
Of course, these were the situation before the Sultan war.
In the war in Siltan County, Green led the infantry troops to attract the main force of Manninger, Xia commanded the cavalry to fight thousands of miles, magically conquered the new city, and then completed the strategic siege of Manninger, finally defeating the Odin ... ...
Throughout the war, almost Xia was leading the trend of the war.
After the end of the war, even the old soldiers of the Sixth and Seventh Corps who were originally unwilling to be convinced by Charia had to admit that this battle, if not for Charya ’s outstanding performance, would have been impossible to win. Come down.
As for the lower ranks of officers and soldiers, the magical battle against the cavalry of Char ’s thousands of miles “captured powerful enemies, and even killed several enemies.” Including Manninger ’s eldest son Morka ... Such a feat ”is enough Let the lower officers and soldiers develop a sense of worship for the general.
The prestige in the army, the balance has gradually turned to Charya.
And in Green's view, Jiya himself has undergone many changes.
In the past, the bright smile "greatly grinned, even with the traces of a youthful youth" seems to have gradually disappeared from him. With the increasing prestige of meritorious deeds, Xia also showed a leader's determination and even ... arbitrary!
"The former Charlie" would be willing to throw most things to Green, and he was happy himself, but as he gradually adapted to the role of "leader", as if some of the underlying things in his nature were gradually inspired Come out.
He is more and more adapted to the position of leader. Although he still maintains sufficient respect and trust for many subordinates such as Green, he will never obey Green Zhou's opinions and opinions as before, but prefers to hold the overall situation in his own. Once he hates everything he believes, he will never change easily!
Give the smallest detail "than if previously when discussing something, Charlie usually asked his subordinates," What do you think? ",
But now, Char ’s tone has become the standard tone of superiors asking subordinates: "What do you suggest?",
The same question, but the wording is different, the mood is naturally very different.
Green knew that Charlie was a strong person in her bones.
The old mad dog never meant to fight with Xia, even he was willing to watch Xia gradually transform into an outstanding leader, leading the group of the Northern Army towards greater achievements.
So after watching Xia ’s gradual transformation step by step, Green paid attention to her own light, and even deliberately cooperated with Xia ’s all actions.
Even when his opinions are different from those of Xia, he tries to obey Xia's will as much as possible to help Xia consolidate his leadership authority.
From this point of view, how lucky Charya is to have such a willing partner as Green.
Therefore, when Xia decided to invite such a young girl as Sufi to discuss the affairs of the militarist, although Green thought that this was too childish, he still remained very clever and made concessions.
As Sophie entered the Chamber, Charya was standing in a daze at the window.
He looked out the window, the setting sun was like a layer of blood on the sky, and the afterglow shone on the earth, which had a beautiful taste.
Xia ’s armor had been taken off, but she had n’t had time to wash off the dust just after returning. When Sophie approached Xia ’s side, she smelled the strong sweat of this guy and told the truth one by one. ", Running day after day" This taste is not very good.
Xia Ya stood upright, with wide shoulders and a tall and straight posture. He was a young man at a young age. He praised the most energetic and energetic. But at this moment, standing on her side, Sophie saw the faint exhaustion that appeared in this light street handsome eyebrow.
Turning around, Charlie glanced at Sophie, and then looked at Junker standing behind Sophie. Please sit down ... "
No politeness, no greeting, Xia just raised his hand, the captain of the guard went out, and closed the door outside.
"I have something, and I want to hear your opinion." Charlie's tone was calm and calm, as if without any emotion: "I have a few issues that need to be carefully prepared right now" is like this ... ... ",
Very short preamble, simple and even a little too short.
However, Su Fei's face did not show the slightest surprise, with a quiet smile on her face, her eyes full of calmness, listening carefully to Fu Ya's remarks.
In the process of Fu Ya's remarks, Sophie didn't insert a word, but just listened quietly. There seemed to be no reaction on Qing Qingxiu's face. He even raised his eyebrows.
Finally, when Xia Ya finished speaking, Xia Ya took a long breath and talked for a long time. She also got a little dry, and stood up, walked aside, and poured three glasses of water on the table.
Sia sat down gently. "After drinking a glass of water, he looked at the girl in front of him:" Is there any solution? ",
Sophie finally smiled. "Lifted his eyelids and looked at Xia, raised the cup in front of him and frowned gently." On the cheeky face, in those bright eyes, there was even more smile in the smile. It ’s funny: "Sir, General, military affairs is not a child ’s play, but there is no cure for the disease. The problems you just mentioned are all accumulated shortcomings. You ca n’t think of them immediately when you are laughing. Method to eradicate. ",
Xia was not disappointed when she heard it, and smiled: "Eradicating me does not have that extravagant hope, I know these things are very troublesome, and I don't expect to solve them three or two times, but at least I have to think of a way Go through the moment. "
After a pause, he sighed: "The first thing is to ask for money ... The soldiers were born to die and follow me to fight". Defend foreign enemies, regain the land, kill lives, if you ca n’t let the victims get good care, you ca n’t let them live. I am really ashamed of them for being treated well. ",
Speaking of this, Sophie is not yet "Junker next to him nodded. Junker, who was born in the army, naturally agreed with Jiya's remarks. As a general, if you don't care for yourself Soldier soldiers, that can't be a big deal.
Looking at Xia Ya's eyes, Su Fei moved a little, and then smiled and said, "Well, there is no way to eradicate the problem ... After all, after all, the general's problem now is one word: money! Money is nothing more than It ’s open source and thrift. ”
After a moment's pause, her calm eyes gradually revealed a calm confidence: "The matter of open source requires long-term discussions and the development of new financial resources. It cannot be solved in one or two days. In the future, you can discuss from a long-term perspective. Now to overcome this difficult situation, we must start with throttling. ",
When Xia heard this, she frowned: "Throttling? Military spending must not be reduced. I have already said that I cannot treat these soldiers who died with me.",
Sophie smiled lightly: "The general misunderstood me, I didn't make you treat the generals harshly, but ... the differences are, but there are some * ..."
After a pause, she used a calm look to stop Xia from asking what she wanted to ask, slowly: "First of all, it is necessary to reward and reward the successful soldiers after the last war. These expenses must not be Reduction, in my opinion, not only cannot be reduced, but rewards must be increased.
I mean, increase the reward you set before the war by about 30% for adults, and double the pensions for the fallen soldiers! ",
Fu Ya's complexion remained unchanged: "A thick reward for a thick care ...",
"The question of money, I heard that General Xia Ya went to the capital this time, but you made a lot of windfalls ..."
Xia Ya smiled bitterly: "Yes, I got some ... but the money is not too much. Such a small amount of money, if it is on a person's head, is a huge wealth, but if it is to be distributed to tens of thousands of soldiers, there is not much * ... "
"Well, but if it is only used to care for the dead and injured soldiers, reward the meritorious service" should be enough? , "
Fu Ya sighed: "Enough is enough, but in this case, there is not much money left ... The next military reform, the treatment to upgrade to the level of the Central Army, but it is not enough. Money are all Used in the front, I can't always ... ",
"My idea is to base the changes on the military system.",
Sophie gently raised her hand and looked at Xia Ya: "Master, please listen to me and give you a detailed analysis ...."
"You claim that your Majesty is tens of thousands of soldiers. This number seems to be quite a lot." From the time of your rise, the Seal of the Seal of Throne and the occupied territory, it seems that in a short time, the Seal of the Seal of Throne has made such a large amount of possessions. It is valuable. "To be honest," with your current site and population, it is really hard to feed so many troops.
Before you were in trouble both internally and externally, and there was a threat from the outside. Do the entire army focus on resisting foreign enemies? The army will use the treatment of local defense forces, and everyone will not say anything. But once the army is upgraded, the future will be This military expenditure will bankrupt your finances. Presumably, you have noticed this problem now. "
"Crap ... If not, what am I asking you to do ..." Xia muttered softly.
"Actually, General, you are wrong.",
Sufi suddenly raised her voice a little, and waved her hand, confident in her words.
"wrong*……"
"wrong*……"
The girl calmed her eyes: "In my opinion, after the restructuring of the army, the military expenditure may not increase much. If it is operated properly, maybe it will save the next sum!",
"……what?!,"
Xia Ya frowned first, and then his eyes let out light immediately!
"What do you think!,"
"My idea, it ’s simple to put it bluntly" It's all about falling on the grade! "
Your northern army now has three infantry regiments "and an independent cavalry regiment. Needless to say" cavalry regiments, you are good at using cavalry, this time in the battle of Sirtan County, you also played a hundred years with cavalry. Unprecedented victory! Therefore, the treatment of cavalry is naturally needless to say, even if you want to think about it, you can't start with the cavalry.
In addition to the three infantry corps, the first corps is composed of the remnants of the sixth and seventh corps of the former Imperial Central Army. The old foundation is the Central Army. No matter the quality of the army and the level of training, it is far better than the others Two corps, so it seems that the first corps is the main force in your hands. In terms of treatment, the veterans of the sixth and seventh corps used to receive the treatment of the Central Army. Now that the army is restructured, naturally To improve their treatment, this article need not be considered.
What I mean is to start with the Second and Third Corps.
Your second corps is mainly a small number of veterans as bone-thousand officers. In addition, most of them are newly recruited recruits. They are based on combat power ... It ’s not that I ’m too harsh. In fact, such an army is afraid of the company. The empire's local defense forces are not as good. In my opinion, it is only slightly better than the civilian army. To be honest, I even think that before, you have given such an army the imperial local defense army level treatment, which is too high!
To be honest, I think your previous approach is a bit inappropriate ... Let the quality of the new army, which compares with the militia, be treated the same as the main army of the First Corps, which is a bit high. In my opinion, "Recruit troops like this, the treatment is not suitable for mentioning too high.
In addition, it is the Third Corps. The Third Corps is a new army composed mainly of the descendants of the former Corsica Military Region after the defeat of the Odins. Those Corsican soldiers, even if they were cattle and horses with the Odins. In this war, they did not exert much effort, and it is impossible to talk about credit. However, in my opinion, this army is more important than the Second Corps. Anyway, they were also regular army before, not a new army like the Second Corps. As long as they are rectified, the combat effectiveness is in the second Above the Corps.
The general composition of your army is like this. If you want to reduce expenditures, you may wish to take advantage of this military system change to make some changes in the army!
According to my vision, after the change, it should be like this: The original independent cavalry regiment was treated first-class, and the cavalry and treatment of the cavalry have always been higher than the infantry, it goes without saying. Raise the standard of the Central Army to the next level, plus 10% of the army. This is the existence of the main battle force in your hand.
Because the First Corps was composed of the regular army of the original Sixth and Seventh Corps, they could fully enjoy the treatment of the Imperial Central Army.
To the Second Soldier Field and the Third Corps ... I mean ... "
Having said that, the girl Su Fei slowly spit out a word, making Fu Ya's heart suddenly burst out!
"Poison Army * ..."
"disarmament?!",
After being silent for a while, looking at the doubts in Charya's eyes, Sophie said lightly: "It is too strenuous to support the strength of the three regiments at your current site, and, from my analysis, from now on, In the big picture, it has entered a phase of strategic stalemate. At present, it appears that there is no enemy in front of you that needs to be crushed and defeated ... After the destruction of the Red Snow Army, there is no need to keep the number too large without a deadly enemy The army ... moreover, to be honest, as many recruits as the Second Corps really fought, apart from being able to do guard work in the rear, it really did not play any role.
In the short-term, your top priority is to develop your own strength, so that there is no need to launch a large-scale war for the time being to restore vitality within the territory. To the south of us is the Bestad, not our enemy, and it will not pose a threat to us for the time being. To the north is Wildfire ... we don't have to worry about the goblins on Wildfire to attack us?
As for the two sides, on our left are two weak Tema military areas, and in addition a part of the land occupied by the Thunder Cloud Legion of Odin, but the Odin people do not seem to have the intention to expand, even from the information I have. They seem to be content with the land they have already occupied and this Odin's army and the forces of the other Tema military districts contain each other and will not pose a great threat to us.
The only threat you are concerned about is from our right. Hastings in Knox.
The Black Flag's combat effectiveness is well-known in the world. However, since the occupation of Knotts County by Hastings, Hesting has not been close. The soldiers are still standing there, even when you go south to attack the Red Snow Army. Action, obviously their goal is not you, at least, in the short term, they have no intention of being hostile to you.
Although the left and right wings have different forces, we only need to retain the main force of a corps "plus the cavalry unit in your hand. If something really happens, if these forces are only used for defense and small-scale counterattacks, That's enough. As long as you don't wage a big war, these troops are enough to defend our territory.
So, what I mean is that you will be disarmed on a large scale by your 2nd and 3rd Corps! You may wish to cut half of them and keep them to form a corps, which will be established in the name of "Northern Police and Corps", and in the name of "Security Corps", they can be distinguished from your regular army. This guard The regiment still enjoys the treatment of the Empire's local defense forces! There is no reason for them to be dissatisfied with this treatment ... After all, they are under your command, and this army has not made any military achievements. In the previous war, there was no What role it plays. This formed guard corps is mainly based on the descendants of the Corsica Military Region, supplemented by a small number of recruits-those descended from the Corsican Army, under the hands of Odin. Your subordinates are grateful to Dade for having a bite to eat, and if they are dissatisfied, you don't need to be polite to those who surrender. ",
While these words were talking, Fu Ya was a little dazed.
It seems that this girl makes sense ... Before, no, not even Green, entered a wrong set of thinking: the army could only go on the road of expansion.
After all, it is already a troubled time. In the troubled time, whoever has the strongest strength is the strongest. The soldiers will be the only channel to protect themselves.
But I did not expect that an excessive number of troops may not be able to play a real role.
"But ... these troops that have finally been pulled up ... even the recruits have been in the army for several months and have received preliminary military training. Now if they are all retired, the previous investment can be wasted. Moreover, I am afraid that many soldiers may not be willing to leave ... "
"Sir." Sophie smiled slightly. "What I mean by disarmament is not to let them take off their uniforms and go back to be farmers! I mean ... turn these disarmed soldiers into reserve."
"Reserve ?!"
When Charlie heard this, her eyes suddenly flashed!
"We have no reserve service in Byzantium. Our country has always implemented the peasant and soldier system, but from this point of view, this farming system is really a disadvantage. The peasant system of the Tema military district system has become a tumor on the empire. In my opinion, when the time is ripe, "you are totally in the jurisdiction of your jurisdiction, and abolish this system completely. I think" this time has come.
You have just achieved an unprecedented victory. Both the prestige in the army and the prestige of the people are unprecedentedly high. The central government of the empire is weak and has no ability to control you. You can fully use this condition in your jurisdiction. First, abolish this system.
"Abolition of the farmer and soldier system" to change to the reserve system!
The previous agricultural and soldier system was operated by the local government, and the local government owned government fields. "Recruiting farmers for farming and military training at the same time, the wartime transition to the sequence of operations. This idea is good, but for a century, this kind of The system has become flawed.
First of all, the land cultivated by the peasants and soldiers "is not their own." When they work, there is not enough enthusiasm. If the output of the land is too small and the output of the land is too small, then the income will be reduced, which will not be enough to provide the military soldiers. As a result, a vicious circle has formed. The peasants and soldiers' treatment is reduced, so whether they are farming or fighting, they are unwilling to contribute.
This became a ridiculous situation: the Byzantine Empire had a vast land and exercised a century-old peasant soldier system. "The number of peasants registered in various places was millions! But when the Empire encountered war, except Except for a few Central Army Corps and a small number of local defense forces, the empire has almost no soldiers available !!! Those peasants and soldiers are unwilling to leave their homeland to fight "and the treatment is low, which will not inspire their will to fight. "Insufficient training" also makes their combat effectiveness worthless.
So, I think "switching to reserve system is the most suitable strategy at present.
In fact, the reserve system has been implemented nationwide early.
This system and the peasant-soldier system seem to have a lot of state similarities, but they are actually different!
First of all, reserve soldiers can get land granted by the government. The ownership of such land has been given directly to the individual reserve soldiers! And not belong to the country! Because it is their own land, they will try their best to work instead of slacking off when they cultivate. At the same time, "reserved personnel" enjoy preferential treatment from the government in taxation. Compared to other farmer taxes paid by other farmers, reserve soldiers are only required to pay half of the tax. And while enjoying low taxes, they also need What you pay for is that you must take a certain amount of time every year to seal the throne of the seal of God into the army for military training! Such military training, the throne of time is placed in the season of agricultural leisure, will not delay the cultivation of the land, but also ensure that they are fully The military training will not be abandoned and become a complete farmer. Once such a reserve is encountered in a war, it can be directly recruited into the army, and as long as it is rectified, it can be immediately converted into combat power.
In addition, reserve soldiers receive military puppets each year when they receive military training. Of course, this army puppet needn't be given too high. Take the Landis Empire as an example, their reserve personnel can receive army subsidies during training. The standard of military puppets is half of the local garrison.
Your Majesty, County More, County Siltin, and Corsica have just gone through a large-scale war, the population has plummeted, and large-scale land without owners has emerged. At this time, rather than abandoning a lot of land, it is better to take the opportunity to implement the reserve policy and grant these large amounts of land to reserve personnel!
For you, after disarmament, you save a lot of military expenses! Secondly, after the land is cultivated by the reserve personnel, when it is harvested, it can still provide new tax revenues! So, we still make money! ",
Charlie was staring blankly, then carefully calculated ...
If implemented according to Sophie's plan, his military expenditure will be reduced and fiscal revenue will be increased!
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the army has not decreased!
Looking at the girl in front of me, after speaking, took the cup and took a light sip. After putting down the cup, she rested her hands on her knees with a calm smile, and there was no wave in her eyes ... so calm and unhurried, Let Xia be hesitant for a moment.
As if sitting in front of himself is not a young girl this year, but the well-known wise man Cavihill who has died!
Suddenly, a long sigh came from Dora's head.
"The so-called Guoshi, but that's it ..."
Charlie was excited! He suddenly stood up and walked around the room a few times. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Sophie's plan was a wonderful way.
And "executive www.wuxiaspot.com is also very feasible!
"I think there are still some things that can be added * ..." Xia Ya's eyes turned: "This time, for the reward of the meritorious soldiers, it may not be rewarded with money and other things, and they can be awarded with equivalent land. Anyway, Lao Tzu Now there are no other sites, but more land! Damn, the **** Manninger Red Snow Army has reduced the population of Sirtan County by 50%! Corsica is slightly better, but the population is It has also been reduced by 30%! The population of More County is less than 70% before the war! Green introduced the spring plowing a few days ago, and I already feel that now we have a vast and sparse population, and we have a large area of land, but no one is cultivating! It is better to treat these landless land as a reward for meritorious officers and grant them! ",
"It's a good idea * ..." Su Fei smiled, looked at Xia Ya, and her eyes applauded: "Adult is really smart, worthy of being a teacher's disciple, inferior to others. If you do this ... When this land is distributed to those who have merit Do n’t forget the soldiers ’hands. Most of your army ’s Sixth and Seventh Regiments were originally from the Central Army, not locals. Although they are serving with you now, their relatives have some problems. Most of them are in other areas. As long as they have land, they will naturally write to their families and migrate to your family! You don't have to pay a penny, and you will have many more people! By then, the soldiers will be in your army. In service, their family cultivates the land. After one year, your site is strong, the army is abundant, and the food is plentiful.
