The literate person then stared: "Are you stupid? Do you know who General Youtunwei is? Fang Erlang! God of Wealth Fang Erlang! With Fang Erlang here, will you care about tens of thousands of military pay? Are you kidding! And
This notice clearly states that those who are recruited into the army do not need to bring their own weapons and supplies. All equipment, armor and uniforms will be distributed uniformly by Youtun camp. Two sets of military uniforms are issued in spring and autumn every year. If they are damaged during the period, they can be collected at any time...
"
All the people are excited!
Once you join the army and join the Youtun Camp, doesn't it mean that your qualifications to be recruited by other armies are cancelled, and you no longer need to be called up to join the army?
It should be noted that in the past, those who were drafted into the army, in addition to the normal duty shifts, all emergency drafts required bringing their own weapons and supplies, and the court did not care about it. This was also a huge burden...
Do you still need to consider this?
It's definitely more cost-effective to join the army in Youtun Camp. You don't have to provide weapons and food at home, but you can also get back 400 cents a month as military pay... The food in Chang'an City is only 5 cents a dou! Even for a family of six or seven people
, just one soldier can provide enough food for the whole family, and the rest of the family will tend the fields and do idle work, and in two years they will be able to build a new house and marry a wife...
Motivated by the passionate poems and attracted by the favorable conditions, countless people immediately rushed to the Youtun camp. Only when they arrived at the place did they learn that the selection meeting for the army would begin in three days.
The whole Guanzhong was ignited by the recruitment conditions of Youtun Camp. Countless strong young people had stars in their eyes, eager to try, waiting for the recruitment day of Youtun Camp.
When he arrived, he showed off his skills, successfully passed the physical examination, and became a soldier of Youtun camp...
*****
This raging wave of conscription swept through the entire Guanzhong, and there were endless debates about it in the court.
When Wei Zheng passed away, His Majesty Li Er withdrew from the court for three days. When the three days passed, the court meeting was about to be held, and everything turned into a mess because of Youtun camp's massive recruitment strategy...
Liangyi Hall.
Although most of the government affairs are discussed here, and it is an important place in the Taiji Palace, it is not as solemn and solemn as the Taiji Palace. The courtiers occasionally have disputes during their discussions, but they do not shy away from them.
At this time, Duke Xiao Yu of the Song Dynasty frowned and said: "This move to camp Youtun is very inappropriate. Although the national treasury is full now, construction is in full swing everywhere. The Eastern Expedition is about to begin, and money is needed everywhere.
Youtun camp recruits soldiers like this, and the large amount of military salary expenditure will inevitably increase the pressure on the national treasury and make ends meet. If the military salary cannot be sustained, these soldiers who join the army for the military salary will inevitably cause trouble. In normal times, it is easy to say, but in case it is worth it
At the critical moment of the Eastern Expedition, wouldn’t it ruin the overall situation?”
Although the Manchu dynasty had mixed opinions about the recruitment system, they generally understood it.
But Youtun Camp was so vigorous and noisy that it was known all over the world, but many ministers did not want to see it. One of the big reasons was military pay.
Everyone knows that the full-time soldiers who are supported by military pay from the imperial court under the recruitment system are much more powerful than the half-peasant, half-military army under the imperial military system. However, the money and food required to support such an army is really too much, and now we are pouring all our money into it.
When it comes to Youtun Camp, it means that the imperial court is spending money to create a powerful Youtun Camp. It may even become the most powerful unit among the Sixteen Guards. Who can be willing to do so?
Officials from prominent families in the Manchu Dynasty jumped out to oppose it.
Originally, Fang Jun was already the emperor's "vanguard" who kept suppressing the clan, but now he has added a powerful Youtun camp as his backing, so how can he still compete?
This is a scene that no one wants to see.
Fang Jun glanced at His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne without saying a word, and had to say to Xiao Yu: "The recruitment system is the general trend, and Youtun camp is only used as a pilot to accumulate experience and eliminate problems. In the future, all major
The army of the Tang Dynasty will adopt a recruitment system. All soldiers will be professional soldiers, and the government army system will be completely abolished. Song Guogong is now preventing Youtun camp from recruiting soldiers. Is it possible that he wants to cling to the outdated system of the government army system?
To prevent Datang's military from moving towards a brighter and more powerful future?"
Xiao Yu almost laughed angrily and said angrily: "Don't accuse me of random charges, I can't afford it! Everyone knows that well-trained professional soldiers are far better than the government soldiers who usually work in farming and war, but this huge amount
How can the imperial court afford the military expenditures? The end result of the militancy is that the hard-won Zhenguan era will rapidly decline, and even lead to financial collapse! You said that the Youtun camp is just a pilot, then I ask you, if it were other troops
What if we also request a pilot?”
Xue Wanche, who gritted his teeth with hatred for Fang Jun, immediately jumped out and said: "Song Guogong's words are very true. Why is it your Youtun camp and not my commander's Youwuwei who are being tested?"
Then, he turned to His Majesty Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I also request that Youwuwei be used as a pilot for the recruitment system, and please allow your Majesty's permission."
In fact, he doesn't care about the government military system or the recruitment system. As long as he can disgust Fang Jun, he is willing to do anything.
His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
Fang Jun said calmly: "No."
Xue Wanche immediately stood up, pointed at Fang Jun and cursed: "How presumptuous! I am asking for instructions from Your Majesty, but you dare to answer on behalf of Your Majesty. Do you want to be Zhao Gao?"
All the ministers in the hall shook their heads and sighed. It is rare that this minister still knows the allusion of Zhao Gao "referring to a deer as a horse". But it is okay for you to call Fang Jun Zhao Gao, but compare His Majesty to Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin... What do you want His Majesty to think?
?
The ministers secretly went to see His Majesty Li Er, and sure enough, although the emperor did not speak, his face turned dark and ugly, as if water would drip out of his face at any time...
Fang Jun glanced at Xue Wanche as if he was confused, and said: "Because I am the Minister of War, it is the Ministry of War's business which army will be used as a pilot, unless General Xue can convince the Minister of War, the British Duke... In addition, I
I have something to tell General Xue. I will go back and clean up your farmhouse later. I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow morning. I have not informed General Xue in the past two days, but General Xue has been silent and everything is fine.
It’s just like people, maybe they have forgotten, right?”
Xue Wanche's face suddenly turned red and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. At the same time, his heart trembled...
Mom, does this stick really want my Zhuangzi?
Something bad happened, even Zhuangzi lost, and he didn't even dare to mention it to Princess Danyang. If Fang Jun seriously went to accept Zhuangzi tomorrow morning, how would he explain it to Princess Danyang?
Thinking of how Princess Danyang cried endlessly and refused to let him enter the room after learning about it, Xue Wanche felt frightened.
What to do...
Xiao Yu was also speechless by Fang Junzhi's words.
The Ministry of War has the power to manage the world's military and horses. All armies are nominally controlled by the Ministry of War. However, in the past, the emperor controlled the military power, and the Ministry of War's presence was too low. Therefore, the political affairs hall can also discuss military matters and suggest to the emperor.
How how.
Now the emperor has clearly delegated power to the Ministry of War, which is equivalent to the Ministry of War directly taking orders from the emperor, bypassing the political hall, and regaining power. Even the prime ministers of the DPRK and China have no right to interfere with the decisions of the Ministry of War...
As for convincing the British public Li Ji?
Haha, that old fox is about to become a spirit. Except for unavoidable tasks such as going to the Western Regions to suppress the rebellion, his sense of existence has been infinitely reduced. It is extremely difficult to get a word out of his mouth.
Just looking at the calm situation in the Western Region, but Li Ji still lingering, we know how strong this man's intention is to stay away from the center of the court...
Now Fang Jun is the boss in the Ministry of War Yamen. He can do whatever he wants.
All the opponents in the court were silenced by Fang Jun's domineering words.
Fang Jun was not complacent about this...
Because he knew that despite the clear-cut opposition of these people, in fact it was just another strategy of retreat in order to advance. If the imperial court really promoted the recruitment system to all armies and officially replaced the government military system, these clans would probably rebel immediately.
Under the government army system, the army's dependence on the state is at a minimum. Most of the weapons are self-prepared, most of the military rations are self-prepared, and even some of the troops and horses are self-prepared... All food, grass and baggage in the army are wasted, and most of them must be prepared by the generals themselves.
Under such circumstances, without the support of the nobles and nobles, it would be extremely difficult to control an army.
And when it becomes a recruitment system, everything becomes a state supply, and whoever eats the food is served whose bowl is served, and the influence of the aristocratic families on the army will be infinitely reduced.
The huge military pay and military expenditures cannot be paid calmly even by wealthy families, which leaves all control of the military under the control of the state...
Of course, Xue Wanche probably couldn't see this level. Xiao Yu's opposition was testing the emperor's bottom line, while Xue Wanche's opposition was just for the sake of opposition...
