The six countries of Kyushu are both rivals and subjects of learning.
What to study?
Nature is something conducive to domination.
Regardless of the widespread phenomenon of redundant officials and redundant personnel in the Song Dynasty, which greatly undermined the Song Dynasty's finances and slowed down the efficiency of government operations, this was not entirely harmful.
Redundant officials and redundant personnel also have advantages, that is, they can support a large number of capable people who have no chance to succeed.
Murder and arson are punished!
They are not afraid that you are strong, but they are afraid that you are wild-minded. As long as people in the wild still want to be officials, Song Ting will have all kinds of ways to deal with those who are reckless.
After all, the money spent on Zhaoan and the consumption of peace and chaos are not at the same order of magnitude.
As long as you don't go too far, once a wave of imperial edicts are implemented, the local people's resentment that has been accumulated for many years will be dispersed in one move. If the central figure is lost, ordinary people will not be bold enough to cause trouble.
As long as there is no chaos, Song Ting doesn't care at all about spending money.
The Song Dynasty's approach seemed cowardly, but in terms of results, it actually had something to offer. For a time, weak countries followed suit and strong countries followed suit.
The Wu Dynasty governed the country with military merit. In the early days, there were many officials but few, and everything could be arranged. However, with the expansion of territory and centuries of cultivation, the population became more and more, and the limited official positions could not control the military merit produced by the wars over the years.
Those who have been transferred one or two times can go home and work in agriculture to make up for their permanent work. The tax-free treatment is reasonable and reasonable.
However, as a point of view, if you are a veteran with 4th or 5th rank military honors, it is reasonable and unreasonable.
In this regard, Wu Dynasty had no choice but to expand.
In the military attache system, the regular soldier structure remains unchanged, and the government soldier system is added with an eighth-level teaching officer, starting from the seventh-level instructor, the seventh-level general instructor, and the sixth-level envoy, assigning four-level military stables in prefectures, counties, and towns to be responsible for the training of government soldiers. Teach enemy-killing experience, battlefield adaptation and other courses.
In the civil service system, the number of general officers at all levels will be increased, and a relatively large general officer system will be established.
Within the Documents Department, additional officials such as secretaries and clerks were appointed.
In addition to the three lines, there are honorary ranks such as hereditary captain, hereditary small flag, hereditary general flag, and hereditary hundred households. Descendants with corresponding ranks can directly enlist in the army as long as they are over 18 years old and pass the selection of the capital soldiers. Join the army.
With four consecutive attacks, Wu Chaoji eliminated the redundant military achievements and at the same time reached out to the villages.
Although it may appear that they have just extended their hands into the countryside, the dynasty that can extend the imperial power to this step is not only rare in ancient times, but also rare in all dynasties.
As for the officialdom contempt chain that has arisen because of this, who cares?
If you want to blame, blame your lack of military merit. If you want to blame, blame your lack of luck. It can be said that as long as there are no problems with the distribution of military merit and financial resources can still support it, the current system of the Wu Dynasty is enough to maintain stability all the way.
clang!
With the sound of gongs and drums, the originally bustling Shenwu Ice Palace suddenly fell silent. At some point, more than a dozen targets had been erected in the central field, and the straw mats originally spread on the ice were thick with points.
"The mounted shooting starts, it's the old rules!"
Xiaohu sat aside, pointed in the direction of the entrance of the venue, and introduced, "The Shenwu Competition is a competition for young martial artists among the people. It is rare for young warriors to directly obtain a place in the army. Anyone who comes first in the Shenwu Ice Palace will have a chance. Generally, The opening of the mounted archery is based on the number of hits on the target and the time it takes for the horse to pass through. Regardless of the large number of people, the preparation time is long. After the actual start, more than 30 people can achieve results in just half a stick of incense!"
Military quotas were the most sought-after in the Wu Dynasty.
Wu Xun and the Wu family each have their own ways, but who wouldn’t want the free spot? The Wu Xun family can’t lose face, but a martial artist born in the Wu family doesn’t care?
Therefore, everyone who comes here to compete every year is well prepared.
"Today is a special situation. The palace has allocated additional quotas. The person who tops the group and ranks among the top five in total points will directly get the quota!" Shang Zhong added.
The mobilization of troops in the twelfth lunar month has the greatest impact on people's hearts. People's hearts can't compensate for it too much. Don't worry about overdoing it.
After all, there is a difference between quota and quota.
The Wu Dynasty was so big. Leaving aside the frontier troops who were engaged in the main battle, there were not too many garrison guards in various places, and there were not too many garrison posts to defend the city. Where could we not be crowded with people?
Bang bang bang...
As he spoke, the hoofs of the horses exploded, the bowstrings shot through the air, and a knight in yellow robes rushed in from the corridor. He opened the bow and fired arrows like flowing water. Several arrows pierced the sky and flew towards the targets on both sides. And go.
"Color, color, color!"
"pretty!"
On the 500-meter track, the knight's horse flashed past and crashed into the night. Waves of cheers echoed in the Ice Palace.
Then, several officials from the Ministry of War ran into the field, quickly retrieved the arrows, and at the same time recorded the score, wrote it on the big board with charcoal, and displayed it to the spectators on both sides.
"Eleven arrows hit, six arrows missed, nineteen breaths?" After reading the information on the board, Fang Fang turned to look at Xiaohu.
As far as the scene just now is concerned, the performance of the cavalry is extremely exciting in Fang Fang's opinion, but the performance of everyone present is mediocre, far less dramatic than that of the people in the audience.
"Above average, but considering the night, fire, venue and other factors, this result is enough for the cavalry rank. However, you still need to practice more. After all, night cavalry shooting is my specialty!" Xiaohu said very pertinently.
"The six countries of Kyushu, except our country and the Liao, all have the curse of blindness at night. The Liao people do not understand the art of war, but we do. Attack them unprepared and take them by surprise. There is no more effective method of warfare than a night attack by cavalry. If you can't defeat When we enter the enemy's camp, we can disgust the enemy to death, make him unable to sleep, and make him terrified!"
Huang An smiled and said, "It's a pity that the young people in the field don't understand these things. Otherwise, they should have been well prepared. Don't look at the eleven arrows that hit this year. But if you want to get the quota, you can't do it." So simple!”
"Night blindness has been exploited, you are really cruel!"
Also, there was no shortage of meat in the Wu Dynasty, and the army was even more assured that there was no shortage of meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits. How could night blindness befall the warriors?
During the confrontation stage of the war, even if the Wu Dynasty did not take the initiative to launch a night attack, the other party would still have to guard against it if it knew that it had this weapon.
War is all about consumption, and this consumption is not just about materials, but all aspects need to be considered. The reason why all parties are clamoring to allocate welfare at this year's end is for the sake of people's hearts.
Imagine that during the confrontation stage of the war, you stand firm during the day and don't sleep well at night. The time is not too long. Seven or eight days is enough to make the head dizzy and the heart irritable. The soldiers will be impetuous and make random moves, and they will be upset for the commander. How to lay out and fight?
There is no need to evolve. If you take advantage of the night attack, you can completely launch a wave of mental attacks.
"If you go to the battlefield and keep your bottom line, aren't you asking for trouble? With the war going so far, all countries have dirty hands!"
Before he finished speaking, the horseshoe bow strings sounded again, and before Fang Fang could turn his head, several black shadows flashed out of the corners of his eyes.
"It's so fast, it feels faster than the previous one!"
The sound of horse hooves exploded. Fang Fang, who had never seen such an exciting scene before, held his breath and concentrated on the knight. For some reason, a person like Fang Fang, who knew nothing, actually saw a ray of beauty from the knight in the field. , that kind of beauty of being strong and brave.
