Chapter 350 (1/2)
The sullen emperor of the Tang Dynasty, seeing that the empress of the Tang Dynasty and his royal highness do not approve of sending troops to restore the kingdom of Persia, he took a drink of tea and put his mind on Liaodong!
Anxi won't let me go, so Liaodong head office? Today, it is still a continuous campaign. Since the Tang Dynasty sent troops this year, the war has not been finished, so I can't go to Liaodong?
Li Zhi took a look at the mother and son. Li Zhi thought about it and asked Li Hong, ”you are in the court today, and in the book I gave me a few days ago, you all said that the recruitment is a matter of how much confidence do you have now?”
Looking at the long father who was no longer angry, Li Hong immediately came to the spirit, and told Li Zhi how the military department would vigorously improve the treatment of the Tang army next year, how the military department publicized the recruitment system and the preferential treatment for families participating in the army.
Li Zhi also nodded his head and looked at Li Hong with his eyes shining. This recruitment system was not not not adopted in the Tang Dynasty, but was limited to the Jin Wu Wei and other troops guarding Chang'an, while the rest were still using the government soldier system.
But for the large consumption of white money, Li Zhi ignored, but does not mean that Wu Mei can also ignore this important reason.
”How much does the military department have to spend this year? Six or seven million troops are not that easy to feed? ” Wu Meirou asked.
”Money is not a problem. The problem is that there is no money. Oh, no, no, I'm used to bickering with Honglu Temple these two days. This sentence has become a conditioned reflection. Father, emperor, mother, now I Tang what many? In addition to having a large number of soldiers and generals, there is more money and more people, so this money is definitely not a problem. Besides, it is normal to spend some money on military and state affairs, isn't it? ” Li Hong said with a smile.
Today, there are 634 Zhechong prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, of which 261 are in Guanzhong, and the rest are scattered in other roads. Each Zhechong mansion is divided into three grades according to the military strength, with 1200 in the upper, 1000 in the middle and 800 in the lower. In wartime, the troops of these Zhechong prefectures were concentrated and fought. Each Zhechong mansion was like a barracks.
However, the government soldiers do not really stay in the government, but need to work together like other people when there is no war. Only in wartime, they will be gathered by the government, and then they will take their own dry food, etc. to fight at the front line. In this way, naturally, they will be absolutely right to a large amount of silver for Datang province.
According to Li Hong's calculation, the total number of permanent troops in Chang'an is about 700000, which is enough to match the strength of the Tang Dynasty when the emperor was alive.
In recent years, with the years of fighting, Zhechong government did not get enough soldiers to supply. The actual number of soldiers has dropped to about 400000, and the combat effectiveness is obviously not comparable with the original, but it still has no problem to persist for a few years. Therefore, this also led to the decision of the Tang Dynasty to change the military service system passively.
Li Hong's recruitment range is from 20 to 30 years old. According to Li Hong, after 30 years old, many people are grandfathers. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the elderly should not be allowed to continue to fight in the battlefield.
After thinking for a long time, Li Zhi asked, ”even if the military department can complete the recruitment system within three years, what should you do with the remaining people from the army? Don't forget that although they are old, their rich experience in combat is sometimes far more threatening than the recruits who have never been to the battlefield. ”
”My father is wise, you have been asking about this question for a long time Ouch. ” Li Hong scratched his head. This guy didn't take long to exercise. He was really strong. He felt pain.
”Today, there are Guozijian, Hongwen and Chongwen in Datang. After the new year, Lantian County will also be the first specialized medical school in Datang. As for these elderly soldiers, I think it is possible to build one or two military academies in other counties around Chang'an. These military academies used to fight in the battlefield. For example, the old and the weak can receive some battlefields for the newcomers Knowledge, does this not solve the problem of their talent being wasted? Even in wartime, they can be made to advise Oh, a general who serves as an aide to assist a general in leading a battle has only the right to make suggestions and not to make decisions. How about that? ” Li Hong had thought about all these problems for a long time. Now again, it would be better if he could get the full support of his father and mother.
”Well...”
Li Zhi's eyes turned and he was about to speak when he heard Xiaoshun's son say, ”don't worry. You are still in charge of Shenji camp. Just like jinwuwei, the number of soldiers has been controlled at 20000, and it will never exceed this number. You can equip or not equip Shenji camp for each army according to the place of the battle. This is your business It has nothing to do with the children's ministers. ”
Li Hong naturally knew that since their return to Chang'an, long's father and mother have not specifically asked themselves about the occurrence of so many thunder in Tubo. They are waiting for their own initiative to call out.
After all, Tianlei is now known to be supernatural. Even according to the idea of father long, he would like to set off a firecracker like later generations. He thought that he would throw a few Tianlei at the white food and tuhuoluo, and then the people would surrender, so as to help the restoration of the country of Pylos.But it's not easy to restore the country? From ancient times to the present, which country has been able to restore the country successfully with few victories under the circumstances of the general situation gone? I don't think so? After all, the decline of a dynasty is not only a matter of military strength and general stupidity, but also a matter of the will of the people. If the people's will is not there, no matter how many troops you are, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to succeed in restoring the country.
