Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

“Formalized?”

“Professional?”

Ying Zheng repeatedly recited the two key points proposed by Fu Su. After a long time, he finally showed a hint of clarity.

Before, the Qin people implemented a system where everyone was a soldier. All adult men had to receive military service regularly. Training, once the court needs it, you must report to the army immediately.

Refusing to be recruited by the court is a top crime in Daqin. Not only will you be beheaded in public, but the entire family and even the entire village will be punished.

Unless you have a military title above a doctor , otherwise even the princes of the royal family must perform military service in accordance with the law.

Moreover, ordinary soldiers of the Qin Dynasty did not receive military pay. When the treasury was in distress in the early days, they even had to prepare their own armor. If the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty wanted to earn some income, they had to be on the battlefield. Only after you bravely kill the enemy and obtain the title can you get the corresponding reward.

A large part of the reason for the superior combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army comes from this.

However, as the territory of the Great Qin continues to expand, the opportunities for ordinary soldiers to kill the enemy have indeed increased. There are also fewer and fewer.

Especially if the new military system is implemented, the inner guard corps will only be responsible for second-line defense, and there will be almost no chance.

With Da Qin’s current strength, it would be good not to bully others. Who would risk his life? , Dare to provoke Da Qin?

Without the chance of meritorious service and promotion, it is obviously impossible for soldiers to serve for a long time.

You must know that military training is more difficult than work, and work pays at least one penny a day..

If it weren’t for the strictness of Qin’s laws, many people would probably give up.

In this case, it is indeed very necessary to implement formalization and professionalization.

However, professionalization means military pay and the court needs more With a large amount of expenditure, the Ministry of Revenue will probably have a headache for a long time.

However, the Qin Dynasty now has such a large territory, and continuing to implement the system of serving soldiers in wartime and serving the people in leisure time is not enough to maintain national defense needs.

On the contrary, it will This led to lower morale and more chaotic management.

Ying Zheng couldn’t help but frowned and looked at Fusu

“Father, as the Qin Dynasty continues to develop, the total number of troops can be appropriately reduced. Only a smaller number of troops need to be deployed in key areas to achieve the effects that previously required several times or even more troops.

However, the requirements for retained soldiers, especially officers, are getting higher and higher.”

“This not only requires more military academies, but also more talents”

“And such outstanding talents can definitely get better treatment outside the army. If you want to allow them to stay in the army with peace of mind, it is very necessary to provide them with sufficient military pay.”

“This is not a question of loyalty or disloyalty, but a question of everyone having a family and a family to feed and live.

Today’s Great Qin also has enough financial resources to achieve this.

Moreover, the implementation of professionalism has another advantage, that is, serving as a soldier and eating the emperor’s food, the person loyal to him is naturally the Emperor of Qin! Fusu patiently explained

“Keep talking.”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.

In today’s Great Qin, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to fight. It is no longer possible to conquer the world with a military title system.

If you want the horse to run without letting the horse eat grass, it is definitely not possible. reasonable

“Moreover, professionalization does not mean that we have to completely abandon the previous compulsory military service system.”

“All adult men in Da Qin are still required to perform military service, but the service time limit can be shortened to three years. After the compulsory military service is over, they can choose to retire and go home, or they can turn into professional soldiers after passing the assessment and be awarded according to their abilities. Military position, receive corresponding military pay”

“For the common people, three years of compulsory military service will not have too much impact on their lives. It is already much more relaxed than before when they had to respond to conscription at any time.”

“During the three years of compulsory military service, the court only provided a small amount of living allowance, which did not bring much expenditure.” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“As long as the planning is good, with the current population size and growth rate of the Qin Dynasty, this system of combining professional soldiers and compulsory soldiers is enough to ensure the national defense needs of the Qin Dynasty during non-war times.”

“Once wartime enters and the army needs to be expanded, these veterans who have served three years of compulsory military service are also excellent reserve forces.”

“What remains is to concentrate on improving the quality of officers and professional soldiers and ensuring their benefits, including military pay, military housing for family members, children’s education, retirement security after retirement, etc.”

“Only by letting them have no worries can they focus on leading troops in combat, forming the backbone of the Great Qin army, and giving the Great Qin army sufficient combat effectiveness. Fusu said loudly.

Fusu has already started planning to implement a professional military system in Daqin.

The reason why he proposed it now is that Daqin has just received a large amount of revenue and has enough financial resources to implement professional military reforms. Another reason is that science and technology has developed to a certain extent.

The emergence of steam engines has gradually brought Daqin into the industrial era. The emergence of trains and railways has greatly enhanced the mobility of the army. Moreover, after the Academy of Engineering, the research on gunpowder has also made good progress. The progress has made it possible to dig mountains and dig tunnels.[]

Maybe one day, the Academy of Engineering will make a big breakthrough, allowing Great Qin to enter the age of firearms.

No matter what it is, winning by numbers becomes a thing of the past.

Of course, this also puts forward higher requirements for the leading generals. It is no longer enough to conquer the world with just a few military books.

This provides the soil for the professional reform of military personnel.

Moreover, we can also take the opportunity of this reform to make a major adjustment to the Qin army.

No matter how loyal he is to Da Qin, the emperor cannot accept any general having too much influence on a certain army.

There is no problem now, but there is no guarantee that there will be no other thoughts later.

The simplest thing is that when people get old, they will have other ideas, such as arranging a way out for their descendants so that they can inherit their position.

If you want to prevent this situation as much as possible, you cannot let a general stay in the same place for too long and have too much influence.

But if you need to rotate frequently, the generals will not know the soldiers, and the soldiers will not know the generals, which will cause big problems.

This requires each army to have a group of qualified middle- and low-level officers to ensure the normal operation of the army.

If you want to cultivate such a group of people, you must attract enough talents, and if you want to retain talents, you must provide adequate treatment and conditions.

Otherwise, no matter how passionate you are, you will be poured cold water on yourself when faced with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Even if I can continue to persist, it is difficult to maintain concentration.

The professionalization of the military is urgent..
