No one can withstand the temptation of a fief, especially a fief that truly belongs to oneself and can be passed down from generation to generation.
Although all countries in the world have a feudal system of counties and counties, in fact, except for the Chu State, no country's fiefdoms can be passed down from generation to generation.
Even most of the time, only some food or a title will be rewarded.
Even for the Chu State, it was not because the king wanted to retain so many lords, but because he had no choice but to do so.
The King of Chu also wanted to be as tough as Qin and Zhao, straighten his back and concentrate power in his hands, but his strength did not allow it.
Most people are self-aware and do not expect to be granted a county, but even a township is excellent. In the future, future generations can use the fief as their surname and him as their ancestor.
This is the real nobility!
It is much better than those nobles who have declined and can only comfort themselves by talking about the glory of their ancestors.
"Your Majesty, when can we go to the battlefield?" Huo stood below and said loudly.
Everyone looked at Zhao Kuo expectantly. In the past, they did not want to go to the battlefield, but now, they are eager for fame and meritorious service by killing the enemy.
Everyone knows that people will die on the battlefield, but this is their only chance to change their fate.
"Don't worry, you will not be short of opportunities to make contributions. I will leave the front to you and the rear to me. If you come back alive, I will hold a banquet for you to celebrate. If you die in battle, I will take good care of your parents, wife and children.
The money and rewards they should have will be given to them every cent, and your children will be brought up."
"As long as I am still alive, I will never let your family suffer injustice or humiliation. What you have to do is to pick up weapons and use your strength to defeat all the enemies in front of you, and win victory for me and the country of Zhao." Zhao.
Kuo said loudly.
"Fight for the King, fight for the Kingdom of Zhao." All the soldiers roared, their voices piercing the sky, "Boom!" The pale golden war clouds instantly spread over the heads of the soldiers, and quickly spread to all sides. Layers of war clouds rolled in the sky.
Like a dragon roaring.
"This is... a military soul?" Lian Po said in shock. He had just seen that the military soul that originally only existed in the headquarters of the five thousand Zhao Feiqi had spread to the reserve army.
The physical fitness of these reserve legions has reached the level of the military soul legion, but Zhao Feiqi's quota has reached the upper limit. As long as the existing soldiers do not die in battle, the reserve legion will never become the military soul legion.
But as long as someone dies in battle, these reserve legions can be quickly transformed into military spirit legions without any need for running-in.
Therefore, once each country has a military spirit army, it begins to vigorously cultivate a reserve army to ensure the combat effectiveness of the military spirit army on the battlefield.
At its peak, the Wei soldiers had a reserve army of 40,000, plus the main army of 10,000 souls, a total of 50,000. As soon as those in front were killed in battle, the ones behind them were transformed into new soldiers with souls, and there was an endless supply of them.
If Wu Qi had not been driven away by the Wei State, which caused the strength of Wei Wuzu to be greatly reduced, and if several countries jointly suppressed him, Wei Wuzu would have been continuously weakened. Even now, no army can be the opponent of Wei Wuzu.
However, the reserve army is not so easy to accumulate. The Wei State relied on the elite troops inherited from the Jin State to defeat Qin in the west, destroy Zhongshan in the north, attack Qi and Song Dynasties in the east, and plunder the Chu State in the south. It took decades to accumulate 40,000, and a victory was achieved.
The Battle of Ma Ling, the Battle of Maling, and everything was lost.
The most important thing about a military spirit army is faith. Once a country begins to decline, after winning less and losing more on the battlefield, it will be difficult to maintain the current scale, let alone build up a reserve army.
Zhao Feiqi has only accumulated fifteen thousand reserve regiments for so many years, most of which were the beliefs forged in the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Defeating Yan, and the Battle of Hetao.
The upper limit of the number of places in the military soul legion depends on the number when the military soul is achieved. When the military soul is achieved, the number of the entire legion is three thousand, then it is three thousand, if it is five thousand, then it is five thousand.
Just like the Guards, 3,000 people were selected at the beginning, and a common belief was established for them to protect Zhao Kuo, and they became the pseudo army soul army. As long as Zhao Kuo is around, they will be the army soul army.
Later, the strong soldiers of the Liaodong Kingdom of Yan were destroyed, and they naturally became a real military soul army.
Zhao Kuo didn't know this at that time, otherwise he would have chosen 30,000 to 50,000 personal guards no matter what.
However, the larger the number of people, the harder it is to unify the beliefs, and it is more difficult to achieve a military soul. If so many people are selected, they may not be able to become a true military soul army now...
But as long as you achieve a military spirit, your strength will naturally be stronger. How to choose depends on the individual.
"It's a pity that it was only a short moment, like a flash in the pan." Yan Ju sighed with some regret, "If all the reserve legions have achieved military spirit, it will be an army of 500,000, and even the last general will dare to rush in."
The military spirit had indeed spread to everyone just now, but after only three breaths, it began to shrink, and finally only the headquarters remained.
"As the reserve force of the Army Soul Legion, their physical fitness and belief were originally up to standard, but they were suppressed by the upper limit of the legion's endurance." Zhao Kuo sighed.
There are advantages and disadvantages to this. The advantage is to maintain the strength of the existing army soul army, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to create a new army soul army.
Compared with the new military spirit army, which is not known to succeed, it is obviously more important to maintain the strength of the existing army. This is why countries only have one or two military spirit armies in addition to the personal guards who protect the monarch.
one.
"We are already very strong now. If the time hadn't been right, I would have really wanted to lead the new army to fight another battle with the Qin army." Lian Po said with his fists clenched.
After fighting for so many years, he has always been invincible, but he has been defeated repeatedly in front of the Qin State. If his strength was inferior to others, Lian Po would have nothing to say, but because of the gap in national strength, Lian Po felt suffocated in his heart.
Now the Xuanjia Army has all been redressed. Silk armor, leather armor, iron armor, three layers of armor, plus a giant shield as high as a person are enough to defend against all attacks, and their talents have been trained and integrated.
The previous damage reduction talent directly changed to reducing part of the damage and reflecting this part of the damage to the attacker. These are actually two talents, one for damage reduction and one for rebound, but they were forcibly merged into one talent by Lian Po.
The other legions are also in a state of readiness and momentum.
Lian Po can guarantee that the Qin State's Black Armored Army is definitely not full now. The Black Armored Army's reserve legion has been defeated and needs to be re-selected and trained. Even Bai Qi cannot be so quick.
It can be said that now is the time when Qin's military strength is at its weakest in the past thirty years.
It is a pity that the State of Zhao is undergoing reforms and cannot sustain the war. When the State of Zhao succeeds in the reform and becomes stronger, the State of Qin will also regain its strength and become stronger.
