Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Yingzheng Dormitory.
"Military system adjustment?"
Looking at the draft sent by Fusu, Ying Zheng couldn't help but be slightly moved on his face.
"Exactly, now that my Great Qin territory is thousands of miles away, if we continue to follow the original military system, we will need at least two million troops, which is too much of a burden on the national treasury, and it will also occupy a large amount of production labor, so it is time to adjust. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
"How do you change that?"
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"The current army of Great Qin is mainly composed of three types, namely, the Praetorian Guards guarding the area of Neishi (Xianyang City and its surroundings), the local soldiers guarding the local counties, and the border army that has already guarded the frontier. "
"Among them, the Praetorian Guard and the border army are standing armies, and the local soldiers are only a few backbones in peacetime except for the temporary recruitment and expansion during wartime, and maintain local law and order together with the government service. "
An important factor in this change is to remove the power of local officials to command the armed forces, to completely classify military administration, and to prevent local officials from having too much authority and creating a situation in which they cannot lose their powers. "
Fusu said in a deep voice.
"It is true that 947 is true, according to your reform plan of Fusu, the Privy Council only has the function of planning campaigns, the military department is responsible for the specific establishment management and assessment in non-war times, and the money and grain belong to the household department, even if a few people have different intentions, they cannot easily succeed. "
"However, dual management has also brought a lot of new problems, and it is time to adjust it. "
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said.
Since ancient times, the reason why the emperor is more afraid of military attachés than civilian officials is that military attachés have the right to lead troops, especially some military generals with high prestige, who are completely in response to all calls, and once they have different intentions, they will pose a huge threat to the entire dynasty.
Especially the previous dignitaries who guarded the side and the military and political commanders, who wanted soldiers and soldiers, money and food, if they had different intentions, the threat was too great.
After the reform of the Fusu Union, the army and the localities were completely separated, the non-war Privy Council was only responsible for campaign planning, and the distribution and establishment of money and grain were managed by the household department and the military department under Shangshu Province, and the civil and military forces were mutually restricted, and the controllability was greatly improved.
In wartime, the Privy Council only assisted the emperor in commanding the army to fight, and the real power was still in the hands of the emperor.
At the local level, the military and the government are separated and supervise each other, and the possibility of local rebellion (baaa) is much smaller.
In addition, the officers needed to take turns to go to the Great Qin Military Academy to receive an education in Qinism, which made Xianyang City's control over the armies of various places much stronger.
However, this has also brought about a new problem, that is, the local soldiers who originally only needed local areas to manage now need three departments to manage, and the procedures are much more cumbersome.
And as the territory of Great Qin is getting bigger and bigger, and the army is expanding, the cost is getting bigger and bigger, and it is indeed time to improve.
In particular, although the number of managers has increased, the management mode has not been optimized, and the efficiency has not only not improved, but has regressed.
Among them, there have also been a lot of corrupt and perverted laws, enriching private pockets or prevarication and delaying, and there have been dozens of cases that have been investigated and dealt with by the Imperial Historical Observatory alone.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Erchen is ready to directly integrate the current three arms of Great Qin into two, namely the main army and the internal guard army. "
"Among them, the main force is transformed from the original Praetorian Guard and border army, and it is the most elite combat force of Daqin, responsible for guarding the security of Daqin's frontier and forging ahead externally. "
The Internal Guard Army was transformed from the original local soldiers, and was also divided into a standing army and a reserve army, which was responsible for the maintenance of public security in Daqin, emergency handling of emergencies and disaster relief, as well as rear defense in wartime. "
Fusu said.
"The name has changed, but the function doesn't seem to have changed much, right?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
It's just that if you change the name, it doesn't mean much.
"It seems that nothing has changed, but in fact there is still a big gap. "
"First of all, after the local soldiers were changed to the internal guard army, the requirement to fight with the main army in wartime was abolished, and they were only responsible for the second-line defense work, so there was no need to be equipped with large-scale equipment such as crossbows for field operations, which could save a lot of expenses. "
"The content of the training should also be adjusted accordingly to better carry out the work of maintaining public order and emergency rescue and disaster relief, and to be more professional. "
Fusu introduced with a smile.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
An important reason for the continuous increase in the expenditure of the Great Qin army is that although the new equipment is easy to use, the price is also getting higher and higher, and if all the troops of the Great Qin are redressed, it is indeed a huge expense.
Under the new establishment, only the main army needs to be equipped with main battle equipment, and the internal guard army is only equipped with defensive equipment, and the cost can indeed be much smaller.
The money saved can be used to focus on strengthening the main army, making the main army stronger and conquering the city more smoothly.
Moreover, if the internal guard corps is mainly defensive, the potential threat will be much smaller, and it will be easier to control.
"The change of name has another meaning, that is, to cancel the title of a certain county soldier, but to change it to a certain field army or internal guard corps in Daqin, which is directly under the management of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. "[]
"This is not only more de-localized and de-generalized, but also has an advantage, that is, the imperial court can flexibly arrange the internal guard army according to the different needs of each state and county for defense, and can once again save a large number of establishments. "
"Moreover, after the unified training is completed, it can also be the same as the current rotation system of local officials in Daqin, and the internal guard corps and even the field corps can also implement measures such as stationing in different places and regularly adjusting the garrison place. "
Fusu said slowly.
Ying Zheng's face suddenly showed a hint of deep thought.
In the past, the reason why the system of rotating officials was to be implemented was that they were afraid that some officials would serve in one place or department for too long and have too deep contacts with local tycoons, which would eventually affect the fairness of their administration.
In fact, a legion that has been stationed in a certain place for too long will also be affected.
Especially at present, when the local soldiers of Daqin are basically from the local area, it is inevitable that they will be biased.
The enlistment in different places and the regular change of guard proposed by Fusu can solve this problem very well.
Moreover, it can also strengthen the field legion's understanding of the different regions of Daqin, and once it enters the wartime, it will not take too long to adapt to it to exert its strongest combat power.
"It's just like this, the soldiers will have to stay away from home, I'm afraid it's a lot of complaints!"
Ying Zheng pondered for a long time.
Lao Qin people have always paid the most attention to family concepts, and it doesn't matter if they are tired or tired, but if they want to stay away from their parents' families, many people are afraid that they will not want to.
This will definitely affect morale and combat effectiveness.
This is the next issue of military reform that Erchen wants to raise. "
"That is, the Great Qin army must be fully formalized and professionalized!"
Fusu's reply was completely unexpected.
