The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Department of War. Military reform meeting in advance. This is just a preliminary plan, or in other words, a meeting where the opinions of representatives of all parties are resolved. The meeting was presided over by the War Department, and Shang Wen must be present. Because each military reform is related to the overall development of the Qin army, especially this reform of the army.

Most of the previous reforms of the Qin Army were accomplished by changing weapons and partially changing the military system. But this reform is different from the previous times. This time, Qin Jun's reform is to take the initiative to cut some things. This makes the officers of the General Staff feel a great crisis. They believe that this is an important signal to the Army itself.

"In terms of the abolition of minority soldiers, our staff believes that it is feasible, because these minorities have indeed brought us a lot of trouble. Their cultural quality is very low, and the future will be a technical army. Although these minorities He was very brave, but the trouble was still great, especially in command, Qin Jun had a lot of confusion in command." Wang Jian said.

"Therefore, I agree with Bai Dong's military reforms to reduce the ethnic minorities, but the military quality of the Qin army must be improved." Wang Jian said.

"But doing so will inevitably lead to more border problems. Those ethnic minorities come from the borders of the Qin State, the Huns in the north, and the mountain people in the east. They basically rely on the Qin army's military pay to maintain them. If we all of them all at once If it is kicked out, the result is that we will face a big military crisis. Such a military crisis, if not radical, is to deploy a large number of troops, and will occupy a considerable amount of military resources of the Qin State. Military expenditure will remain high for a long time. The country is mainly based on construction, tapping and digesting the military potential of various regions. Therefore, excessive reduction of these ethnic minority soldiers will have a great impact. At the same time, there are still big problems in the placement of veterans." Wei Liao Speaking of worry.

"Qin cannot give them stable jobs. It is an indisputable fact that their quality is low. Some of them don't even know Qin's characters. This is absolutely illiterate. They are unlikely to enter the factory to work. If they Once they enter the society of the Qin State, great social security will be created. I think it is better to put them in the army. This is the strongest form of effective control over them." Wei Liao said.

"But the Qin army needs development. All countries are currently actively developing, and their technical arms are in the process of development. In contrast, the development of the Qin army will lag far behind, especially after the participation of ethnic minorities, the Qin army The overall combat quality of the army has declined very severely." Wang Jian unceremoniously pointed out the problems after the entry of minority soldiers.

Wang Jian resolutely opposed the participation of ethnic minorities in the development of the Qin army. Because such an army severely affected the technical nature of the Qin army, Qin State had many weapons with technical advantages, and his command system also required soldiers to form on the basis of a full understanding of the capabilities of the weapons used. Especially in some key fields of technical arms, the Qin State occupies a unique position, such as artillery, but minority soldiers rarely enter this area. It is not that they cannot enter, but that their learning ability is not competent for such things. Therefore, Wang Jian resolutely demanded that these minority soldiers be kicked out, and Bai Dong's plan just met his requirements.

However, Shangwen had a different view, because the future development of the Qin State requires more and a larger military system, which is a matter for the Guanzhong area if it is not radical. There are more new areas that Qin has included. For example, there are a certain number of minority soldiers in these areas such as the Western Regions and the North. They have provided Qin with stable soldiers. At the same time, Qin’s enthusiasm for joining the army in Guanzhong has been greatly reduced due to the unbalanced development. In contrast, Qin Jun’s salary can only be provided from among these minority soldiers. As a result, Qin Jun's overall quality continued to decline.

As the Qin Army adopted the method of retirement. The backbone of the sergeant stayed. A large number of soldiers retired and entered the Guanzhong area to seek development. The number of soldiers in the Old Qin Army declined rapidly. Following this was a large number of minority soldiers who were incompetent in many positions. Many of the excellent traditions of the Qin Army are due to the large number of soldiers. This is an important factor in the decline of the Qin Army’s combat effectiveness. At the same time, the number of Qin Army’s cavalry is rapidly increasing. In contrast, the Army’s infantry combat capability is also declining. Wang Jian was very worried about this.

"We are very clear about such things, but we cannot avoid them. Our only way is to absorb and reform them. Although it will take a long time, but in the long run, he has solved the problem of Qin's soldiers. Moreover, the expansion of the Qin State will be very large, and such a problem will have to be faced. If only relying on the Guanzhong area of ​​the Qin State to supplement, once the war goes on for too long, it will consume the vital force of the Qin army, and then supplement it. It's not realistic anymore." Wei Liao said.

"But the old Qin army must retain part of it, and their essence must remain. This ratio can no longer drop again, so it is necessary to reduce the number of minority soldiers this time." Wang Jian resolutely said.

Shang Wen just kept shaking his head, his brows frowned, and Meng Yi looked calmly at the side, and he also felt a little bad. The crux of the issue is to what extent the prime minister's office requires the army to reform. Judging from the current situation, Bai Dong's military reform may go very fast. This has greatly exceeded the expectations of Qin's prime minister's residence. In other words, Bai Dong's military reform has encountered big problems. This issue must also be reformed in civil affairs. Shangwen feels a little helpless, but thinks he must solve such a thing.

However, Shang Wen is considering such a problem. The current environment is that the economy of Qin is fundamentally experiencing big problems. On the one hand, Qin is actively developing industries, and many of them have entered formalities, such as finance and agricultural development , Technical reserves and so on. But the problem is that there is a big problem with the labor force. Qin's technology industry is being transferred, but there is a big problem of slaves in the transferred area, and these slaves can only become labor after being liberated. At present, such a dilemma has appeared in the Western Regions. Shangwen must properly solve these problems. However, Shangwen knows that if a large-scale slave emancipation meeting is carried out, the farmer will first oppose him, which will cause great losses to Qin's agriculture. This loss is still unaffordable.
