Datang: God-level Choice

"Actually, it's very simple. My father-in-law thinks, what is the military system of my Tang Dynasty now?"

Qin Huaidao smiled and went straight to the point.

"No problem now, but there will definitely be problems in the future"

"My son-in-law has figured out a way, so hurry up and say it."

There was a dignified look on Li Er's face, and he pondered for a while.

There is no problem at present, it means that there are Li Er and Qin Huaidao, plus this group of loyal and loyal ministers for many years, the army of the Tang Dynasty, there must be no problem

Moreover, the elites of Datang have always been concentrated in Chang'an City, and the problem is not too big.

However, with the continuous expansion of the territory, especially once the prairie is annexed, the defensive pressure of Chang'an City will not be so great, but the control of the frontier will be insufficient. If scattered, it will leave hidden dangers to the successors of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, if there is an incompetent heir, unable to control such a huge country, and the military generals in the frontier rebel, then there will be a lot of fun to watch.

Even though the sun never sets empire is very great, it is also very difficult to control. Even Li Er can't bear it all the time: using Qin Huaidao's energy, and establishing Qin Huaidao as the only heir of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the great power behind Qin Huaidao. Don's successor

Li Er has been thinking about these issues, but he has not been able to come up with a good solution, so he has been procrastinating

He has always been the most sensitive to military reforms. A little carelessness will likely cause a shock to the entire army. Wang Hao Qian, even if Li Er and Qin Huaidao have enough prestige, will be hurt and will be in vain.

The most important thing is that once the first reform is unsuccessful, the difficulty will be even greater in the future, and even the successors of Datang directly behind will not dare to move.

If this is the reason why Li Er promised to let Qin Huaidao take a vacation for so long, it is to give Qin Huaidao enough time and energy to think about this matter

But now it seems that Qin Huaidao has indeed lived up to Li Er's expectations and has found a solution.

"Qin Huaidao smiled slightly and said, "The gist is actually just a few points, regularization, military academy, and separation of military and government!"

Li Er suddenly took a breath of air, and after thinking for a long time, he showed a look of admiration on his face.

As expected of his chosen successor!

Chapter [-]: Change the government military system to a recruiting system

! (Second update! Ask for full order!)

"At present, the military and horses of the Tang Dynasty mainly adopt the system of government soldiers, and the world is divided into many governments, which are farmers in peacetime, soldiers in wartime, and participate in training during slack farming."

Qin Huaidao opened his mouth and said: "There are two main points in the military system of the government. One is that the soldiers of the government are usually self-sufficient, and the expenditure of the imperial court is relatively low, as long as certain rewards and pensions are given."

"The other is that because the soldiers of the government have their own land, they usually farm at home for a living, and they are not familiar with the commanding officer, and the probability of rebellion is low. I am not wrong."

Li Er nodded. The reason why Datang adopted the Fubing system was mainly due to the above two reasons, especially the second point.

"It's just that the military system also has two very prominent shortcomings. One is that it is mainly farming and lacks training. Except for the veterans who have fought for many years, their descendants have grown up in peace, and it is difficult to guarantee their combat effectiveness, and their quality is worrying."

"The second point is that with the continuous development of commerce in Datang, people who go out to work and do business can earn higher incomes than usual in farming, which is also a big impact on the soldiers of the government. is fake"

Qin Huaidao smiled slightly and said, "That's why my son-in-law thinks that it's time to change the government's military system to a recruiting system and establish a regular army of the Tang Dynasty."

"The idea of ​​a good son-in-law is good, but there are certain risks involved!"

Li Er pondered for a long time before speaking.

He is the emperor who has led the army for many years and is very familiar with the affairs of the army.

Compared with the government soldiers system, the recruiting system is really good. The soldiers are all professional soldiers, and they train in the army all day long. The combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than that of the government soldiers who are only trained during the slack of farming. It takes time to recruit soldiers and it is much more convenient

But the generals and soldiers train together day and night, and they are paid by the army. If the operation is not good, it is easy for the leading generals and officers to have excessive authority. To put it bluntly, it is easier to rebel.

After all, they all serve as soldiers for food, and whoever pays will listen to whoever pays them. The military is a closed territory. If the chief officer in the military plans to do something wrong, it is really hard to guard against.

However, Li Er believed that with Qin Huaidao's ability, he would not fail to see this, so he looked forward to Qin Huaidao.

"There are indeed several ways to solve these problems"

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "One is to adopt the rotation system of chief officers in the army. A chief officer will serve in the same army for three years at most, and he will be transferred to other places after three years. It can prevent them from staying in one place for too long and having too much prestige"

"That's a good idea"

Li Er's eyes lit up and said: "Not only in the army, but also the chief officials of the imperial courts, states and counties can also adopt the rotation transfer system, so as to prevent them from staying in one place for too long, colluding with the force, and deceiving the superior and the inferior."

"The second point is to distribute the salaries of the conscription system, transfer them to the household department, and accept the supervision of the personnel department and the Jinyiwei at the same time. It won't be that easy."

"The so-called separation of military and government, in addition to letting the chief of the army lead the troops with peace of mind, not to hold local positions concurrently, the other point is to cut off this financial power!"

Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice

"That's a good strategy!"

Li Er couldn't help but patted the table and said, since the biggest disadvantage of the recruiting system is that the soldiers get food, and whoever pays them listens, then the right to distribute military salaries will be stripped from the Ministry of War. It's not that easy to control

The double supervision of the Ministry of Personnel and the Jinyiwei can not only ensure that the army pays in full and on time, but also can supervise whether local officials and the generals in the army have colluded. These inspectors come from different departments, and they are all directly responsible to Chang'an City, and No need to buy a place

Greatly increases the difficulty of local rebellion

The so-called separation of military and government, the biggest purpose is to limit the excessive power of the chief military officer, and form a separate warlord against Chang'an.

Without money, even if the chief officer of the army has an idea, he will not be able to make a commotion, and the local officials in charge of money want to make trouble.

As long as there is strict supervision and no collusion between local officials and the garrison, there will be no chaos.

Moreover, these officials and generals all work together in three-year rounds, and the army can also be mobilized to change shifts. Although the three-year period is not short, it is also quite long. At least it is not enough to dare to do certain things.

Moreover, the separation of military and government is also more conducive to local development. The military can train and maintain peace, local officials focus on economic construction, and professionals do professional work, and the efficiency is also higher.
