"Creating your own power secretly?" Wu Qi suddenly became thoughtful when he heard what Zhao Hongming said.
Zhao Hongming looked at Wu Qi and said, "Does Chief Wu think it's inappropriate?"
"What kind of power does Your Highness want? Is it like the martial arts power?"
Wu Qi knew that His Highness the King Wu in front of him had great martial virtues, and after studying in the Royal Martial Arts Building for so long, his knowledge of martial arts must have reached a very high level, enough to establish a sect.
However, in his opinion, the efficiency of this organization is still too low.
Zhao Hongming nodded lightly and said, "I have this intention."
As Wu Qi said, he plans to start a new business in Ying County, build a martial arts force of his own, and provide it with strong support.
After thinking for a while, Wu Qi said: "I would like to ask, Your Highness, does you know the current military system in the world?"
Zhao Hongming frowned slightly and carefully recalled Wei Guozhong's military resource system.
Seeing that Zhao Hongming did not answer immediately, Wu Qi took the initiative to explain: "Your Highness, today we still use the mobilization system of the Pre-Zhou Dynasty, that is, soldiers are not separated from martial arts forces and farming."
"Take the Eastern Army of the State of Wei here as an example. Most of them are temporarily mobilized soldiers. Some of them are farmers, some are from martial arts forces, and some are martial arts warriors without martial arts. Once the war is over, most of the soldiers will return Go to their respective martial arts forces, or disperse until the next call."
After Wu Qi finished speaking, Zhao Hongming suddenly remembered.
Nowadays, Wei State indeed uses temporary mobilization of troops, which is completely different from the military system that he will be familiar with in later generations.
In every battle, the King of Wei used wish stones, gold and silver as rewards to attract some martial arts forces to provide troops, or idle warriors and farmers in the rivers and lakes to fight for Wei.
Seeing Wu Qi raising this point, Zhao Hongming felt that he must have his own ideas and asked, "I wonder what Chief Wu has to say?"
A trace of excitement flashed across Wu Qi's face, and he calmed down and continued: "Your Highness, my subordinates think that this system is too crude. Firstly, the generals don't know the soldiers, and the soldiers don't know the generals, which is not conducive to the generals' command; secondly, the soldiers' combat effectiveness is uneven, and their mentality is inconsistent. They are not all the same. If the battle is going downwind, it will be okay, but if we encounter a difficult situation, it will easily lead to a rout."
"If we want soldiers to have combat effectiveness, Wei Chen believes that the mobilization system used in the previous dynasty must be reformed into a recruitment system, and the policy of separation of soldiers and farmers, and separation of martial arts forces and soldiers must be realized."
Zhao Hongming was a man of two generations. After Wu Qi reminded him, he reacted instantly.
Wu Qi is talking about the "elite soldier strategy", which replaces the original mercenaries and conscripts with truly elite soldiers.
This may not be surprising from a future perspective.
But if you put it in this world, it is simply an unprecedented thing.
At least, before Wu Qi, no one considered such a thing.
The inertia of history is too great.
We have been doing this for hundreds or thousands of years. It is difficult for anyone to break out of it, but Wu Qi jumped out.
I have to say that he is a talent and a great talent.
Zhao Hongming's face darkened and he said, "Can what Chief Wu said about isolation be understood as the 'strategy of elite soldiers'?"
Elite soldiers? !
Wu Qi was extremely happy.
He knew that His Highness King Wu understood his thoughts and hit the mark.
As early as the last time he saw Zhao Hongming's magnanimous power, he felt that the fifth prince Zhao Hongming was a dragon among men.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Hongming not only had great talent in martial arts, but also had great wisdom in the art of war.
Wu Qi thought that he had been wandering for half his life, but he had never met his master.
Today I met someone who understood him, and I wanted to shed tears on the spot.
Wu Qi said excitedly: "As His Highness said, it is a 'strategy for elite soldiers'."
Zhao Hongming nodded and said appreciatively: "I feel that being the commander of the village is a bit unfair. With such wisdom, he should be worshiped as a general."
Hearing this, Wu Qi knelt on the ground with a bang and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, how can you get the position of general if you are so virtuous?"
"Chief Wu is a little too modest." Zhao Hongming stepped forward and said, "Chief Wu can think so far ahead and think about something that no one before him has thought of. It's really amazing."
Wu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.
Zhao Hongming took the initiative to help Wu Qi up and said, "The idea of Chief Wu is indeed good. With such a strong army, I am afraid that I can sweep across Liuhe. However, there are some problems at the moment."
"I hope His Highness will enlighten me."
Zhao Hongming recalled some common sense of military knowledge in his previous life and said: "To build such a professional army, these soldiers must be out of work. So where do we come from in Ying County now, where do we get food, money, and wish stones?" Come?"
"If I remember correctly, my father allowed half of the wish stones to be left in these border areas before. Now Ying County is almost controlled by these martial arts forces, so there are actually very few wish stones in my hands. "
"Not only that, since we want to have elite soldiers, we must train them. But now that I only have one-third of an acre in the palace, how can I train my troops under the eyes of these martial arts forces?"
Wu Qi had thought about the current situation, but he didn't have a particularly good way to solve it, so he fell silent.
Zhao Hongming looked at him with a smile and said: "So I can create a martial arts force outside and use this martial arts force to build and train troops. In addition, since the soldiers are elite, they must be all martial artists. As for those farmers, let They can just give birth safely."
Wu Qi asked doubtfully: "Then as His Highness said, where do the money, food, wish stones, and warriors come from?"
Zhao Hongming laughed and said: "When I came here, I heard that nearly a hundred martial arts forces have come to Ying County through the mobilization of my father."
When several people present heard what Zhao Hongming said, they all looked at each other in confusion.
Just when they were puzzled, Zhao Hongming opened and closed his lips and uttered serious words: "After such a long time, these martial arts forces have accumulated a lot of knowledge. Autumn is coming soon, and the ripe wheat must be harvested as soon as possible. yes."
When Zhao Hongming said the last word, a murderous intention spread from him to the surroundings, as if the temperature in the hall had dropped several degrees.
"Gao Yanshi, don't forget what I asked you to inquire about. It's been three days now, and the constraints in the palace have been removed. You should take action as soon as possible."
Zhao Hongming glanced at Gao Yanshi. The latter was startled by the stare. He realized the importance of what he was doing and said hurriedly and respectfully: "I will go out to inquire about the news tomorrow morning and will report everything to everyone in Ying County." Your Highness."
