Chapter 615: Compulsory Military Service
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "The imperial court implements a recruitment system. The soldiers are only responsible for training and killing enemies, and do not have to do anything at all.
Since you don't have to do anything, why do you have to manage people's affairs? "
"Yes, this is the current military system of the imperial court. Although it is very good now, once the days of peace arrive, the shortcomings of the military recruitment system will gradually appear.
First of all, the country's life is getting better and better. Of course, the people like to live in peace. Who wants to be a soldier?
There were no wars in the days of peace, so the idea of earning military merit in exchange for a title was no longer achievable.
Everyone chose another path, which was the imperial examination.
Secondly, the soldiers recruited under the recruitment system will become older and older, and sooner or later they will be eliminated. How will this group of people be arranged by then?
If the court doesn't ask, it will only make the recruits feel cold. The court will give them a certain amount of money and land. How many years can they farm at such an old age? "
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, then looked at Gui Guzi and said, "Mr. Gui Gu, what do you think?"
Guiguzi thought for a while and thought: "The soldiers under the recruitment system are basically poor people. They have no choice but to become soldiers in order to survive and to let their families live a good life.
Moreover, the army recruitment system of the Qin Dynasty was derived from Shang Yang's reform, which encouraged soldiers to kill enemies bravely, and the more enemies they killed, the better the rewards.
However, the Qin Dynasty has unified the six kingdoms and has begun to slowly become stronger and richer. I am afraid that it is indeed inappropriate to continue the brother recruitment system.
You can change the military system. Since you want to change the military system, you should use the best military system. My husband said that China outside uses the military service system.
So the military service system must have its advantages, what are the specific advantages, and how to ensure that retired soldiers can be recalled. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, finally looked at Bai Siqi and said, "You said the military service system."
"No." Bai Siqi said, "According to what Mr. Xi said, China currently uses two types of conscription and recruitment systems.
But unlike the past, conscription is also called compulsory military service. This system is a system in which the state uses legal forms to stipulate that people must serve in the military for a certain period of time within a certain age, and it is compulsory.
Theoretically, everyone is eligible to serve in the military. As long as they pass the physical examination, they must serve in the military. The duration of military service is usually three years, ten years, etc.
The average soldier only has three years. After three years, if your performance is average, you will be discharged and go home.
Those who perform well will stay and continue to serve as soldiers. However, at this time, your level is not suitable for ordinary soldiers. Your level is already very high.
After ten years, if you have not been promoted, the army will also let you retire. This is mandatory retirement.
As for the recruitment system, also known as the voluntary military service system, this system is a system in which ordinary people volunteer to serve in the army and sign a service contract with the military.
As for the content of the contract, I don’t know, but I guess it should be the same for ordinary soldiers. It’s just that the treatment of volunteers and ordinary soldiers is different.
Especially time in the military.
Therefore, we can abandon the volunteer army and ignore it at all. We only have one thing: compulsory conscription, and all young people over the age of 18 must join the army.
No matter what your status is, you must go to the military camp to join the army and become an ordinary soldier for three years.
In the past three years, I have been training according to the military regulations and training methods formulated by my husband. Within three years, I am guaranteed to train a very strong army.
And there is no need to worry about the soldiers retiring after three years and there will be no more soldiers, because there are eighteen-year-olds showing up every year.
Therefore, I suggest that the compulsory military service system be implemented for a few years. The court can declare to the outside world that it is training the new army. Anyway, Mr.’s training manual has many branches.
And by doing so, you can teach a group of dandy boys a lesson. People will also be less harmed.
More importantly, this can truly achieve the goal of enlisting all the people in the army without delaying production, because only 18-year-olds join the army, which basically takes three years, that is, from 18 to 21 this age group
No one is working, everyone else is working. "
"It does sound better than I imagined." Ying Zheng said.
"In addition to the military system, I also learned about thoughts, the thoughts of soldiers." Bai Siqi said.
"Where do we start talking about this?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I just said that China's current army is called the people's soldiers, also known as the people's soldiers." Bai Siqi said, "Because the soldiers will help the people solve their problems.
For example, if a dragon appears and turns over, the army will appear to deliver food to the people and save the people buried underneath. "
"This army sometimes does it, it's not unusual." Huang Shi said.
At this time, Qin An came out and pushed out a small cart. The cart was filled with all kinds of ingredients. The ingredients used in the hot pot were all the freshest ingredients.
"You are here." Qin An started to greet Bai Siqi and Gan Mao when he saw them.
"I've met you, sir." Gan Mao and Bai Siqi said at the same time.
"Oh, I told you, you don't need to be so polite." Qin An said helplessly.
After placing the cart in front of everyone, Qin An asked Zhang Han to help move the hot pot to the table, then placed all the ingredients on the table, and finally placed the ice cubes next to everyone.
It's midsummer now, and the weather is very hot. Under normal circumstances, eating hot pot now will definitely cause heatstroke.
However, it is different now that there are ice cubes, and there are also a lot of fruits. Some fruits were delivered yesterday and are all placed in the yard.
Qin An used some fruits to make iced juice, and also had a lot of canned fruits, which were also iced.
Of course, there is also cold beer and liquor, and there are many varieties, just like a hot pot restaurant.
After everything was ready, Qin An invited everyone to come to the table and start eating. You can add more after one kind is finished, just give instructions to the chef in the kitchen.
Afterwards, everyone came to the table, and as for the topic just now, they stopped for the time being.
After everyone was done, Gui Guzi said, "Sir, there is so much ice that will be gone once it is used up. This is a bit wasteful."
He knew that many people collected ice cubes in the winter so that they could cool down in the summer, but no matter how rich they were, this was not such a wasteful method.
"Haha..." Qin An said with a smile, "Mr. Gui Gu, please feel free to use the ice cubes. I can have as much ice as I want. There is no need to save it for me."
Guiguzi looked at Qin An suspiciously and said slowly, "Could it be that you, sir, can make ice?"
Ying Zheng suddenly smiled and explained: "Mr. Gui Gu guessed correctly. This ice cube was indeed made by Qin An. Ice can be made with just water and saltpeter, but this ice is not edible.
You need to put these ice cubes with clean water and let the water freeze into ice cubes before they can be eaten. "
