Generally speaking, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties when government soldiers were the main force in combat, most counties did not have county soldiers.
At most, during wartime, they would be recruited temporarily to form an army.
For example, Jiangnan areas all adopt this system. In addition to the basic yamen team leaders, there are no other full-time soldiers and generals in the county.
Of course, this system of temporary recruitment of soldiers also has its advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that it does not delay the daily agricultural production of the soldiers, and the court does not have to bear huge military expenses such as food and military expenses.
But the disadvantage is that the soldiers will focus their main energy on things that have nothing to do with the battle, and their combat effectiveness will naturally be reduced.
Otherwise, coastal areas would not have been so easily harassed by Japanese pirates.
This kind of government army system is also applicable to Hebei and Shandong provinces.
It's just that unlike Jiangnan, Hebei and Shandong suffered almost the heaviest damage when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty!
These injuries came not only from the local bandit rebels, but also from the surrounding Western Regions, and even the current Tang Dynasty court! ??
At the beginning, Li Yuan was in charge of Chang'an and unified the world.
A gentle policy was adopted in all other places, with the exception of the Shandong clan and Dou Jiande's old tribe in Hebei.
Although this was a helpless move to prevent another rebellion in the two places at the time, it also directly caused Shandong and Hebei to have no sense of belonging to the current Li and Tang Dynasty like other states and counties, and even had deep feelings in their bones.
Resistance and hatred are at work.
Later, when Li Zi took office, he also tried to reverse this situation, but due to various reasons, he failed. Instead, these two places became a worry for him.
So, in this delicate situation where it is unclear and unclear.
The local states and counties were unwilling to dissolve this last means of self-protection, and Xiao Lizi was too lazy to intensify the conflict over this trivial matter.
Therefore, special existences such as county soldiers who protect a county have been preserved.
"Our county soldiers?" At this time, hearing Xiao Han ask about the county soldiers in the city, the fat county magistrate and the county magistrate looked at each other, and then shook their heads helplessly at the same time, "They have all been transferred away for disaster relief."
"Transferred?" Xiao Han couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard these two words!
Because at this moment, he suddenly remembered those Bianzhou squires he met on the road!
At the beginning, they also said that the guards and young people in Bianzhou City rushed to Huazhou to provide disaster relief, and later they heard rumors from the refugees that those who rushed there died in Huazhou.
"Besides the county soldiers, do you have ordinary people here rushing to provide disaster relief?" Thinking of this, Xiao Han stared at the fat county magistrate and asked word by word.
"Yes, yes!" The fat county magistrate was sweating profusely after being stared at by Xiao Han, and he nodded quickly and said: "The letter asking for help that I received at the beginning said that the disaster in Huazhou was serious, and the more people who went there, the better, so the county magistrate
Many young people here who have relatives near Huazhou left with the county soldiers."
Hearing this, Xiao Han nodded slowly and asked, "It's been so long since the Huazhou Dashui! Have you received any news about them here?"
"This..." When the fat county magistrate heard this question, his face suddenly changed and his body shook involuntarily. r> "Tell the truth!" Liu Hongji, who was beside Xiao Han, keenly noticed the strangeness of the fat county magistrate, and immediately sneered and said, "If you dare to tell half a lie, huh..."
"Master Marquis, Duke! How dare I tell lies in front of you two!" The fat county magistrate was so frightened by Liu Hongji that he almost cried!
But even so, he still carefully looked at the refugees outside the door, then glanced at the eyes in the city exposed through the cracks in the doors and windows, and whispered, "It's just that this is really not the place to talk. Otherwise,
Let’s go to the city first? We’ll talk about it after we enter the city.”
"Hey, you damn fat guy!"
When Liu Hongji saw that the fat county magistrate was reluctant to answer, he thought he was trying to delay time. He raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Xiao Han.
Stopping Liu Hongji who was about to jump up, Xiao Han took a deep look at the fat county magistrate and nodded slowly, "Okay, just go to your county office!"
"Yes, yes!" How could the fat county magistrate dare to say no at this time? Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly, and then hurriedly invited everyone to enter the city. When everyone entered the city, he did not forget to ask the dozens of refugees outside.
What to do with the prisoners.
"What to do? Drag them in first!" Liu Hongji didn't have the slightest impression of these bandits who were taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. When the fat county magistrate asked what to do with them, he immediately scolded them coldly, "Look, are they all dead? They are dead."
Just throw it out. If it's not dead, just find a doctor to tie it up. You don't even need to apply medicine, because you will be beheaded in two days anyway! Even applying medicine is a waste!"
Although Liu Hongji was once a bandit.
But at that time, he was simply desperate and was forced to go to Liangshan. Moreover, what he did, it seems now, even if he was not doing justice for heaven, he was also a thief!
Not to mention taking advantage of the kindness of the people and massacring them in turn, such a wicked and evil thing.
Even if they really want to rob, they will only rob big businesses who are ruthless for the sake of wealth, and will never make money from Kuhaha.
Therefore, he hated these bandits from the bottom of his heart who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and would slaughter villages and burn villages at every turn! If Xiao Han hadn't said that he wanted to punish them, he would have killed them one by one and sent them to see the King of Hell.
"Yes, yes! It all depends on the order of the Duke!"
Although the fat county magistrate still didn't know the identities of those people outside, seeing Liu Hongji's disgusted look, he was wise enough not to ask any more questions.
He ran out and worked hard to get the refugee captives who had turned into hedgehogs back to the city.
Of course, this was only accomplished with the help of Lunzi Jiayi and the others.
Otherwise, the fat county magistrate and the thin county magistrate alone would be exhausted and they would not be able to do this job.
After finally dragging the man in, the two men took action themselves and closed the city gate tightly.
While the county magistrate was running to the surrounding houses to catch the young men, Xiao Han couldn't help but asked the fat county magistrate in a low voice, "Where were those city guards just now?"
As a result, the fat county magistrate, who was as tired as a dead dog, thought that this was Xiao Han preparing to settle accounts after the fall. He was like sieves on the spot, and tremblingly replied, "They, they know that they have caused a huge disaster, and they have already run away at this time."
Got it!"
"Run? Where to run?" Liu Hongji snorted coldly, looked at the few strong men in the distance that the county magistrate had gotten from nowhere, and said slowly, "Ningcheng is so big, is it possible that you can dig holes and run away?"
Go out? Hum, you dare to shoot me! Even the Turks didn't dare to do this back then! When I free my hands, I will make you all a living target!" Generally speaking, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when the soldiers were the main force in the battle,
, most counties do not have county soldiers.
