    Wu Qi adopted a step-by-step training method from a single soldier to multiple soldiers, from detachment to synthesis, so that the soldiers were completely separated from production, concentrated on drills, and became "standing soldiers". This was obviously different from the "conscripted soldiers" who were too amateur and part-time. It was a historical  An unprecedented initiative and the first of its kind for future generations to recruit soldiers.  This "recruitment system" has very high standards for selecting soldiers, requiring them to wear three layers of armor - namely, "upper body armor", "stock armor" and "greaves".  There were no trousers at that time, so people wore skirts - for soldiers, they were skirt-like leather "crotch armor".  The thighs are bare inside the skirt, and there is a half-length trouser-like shank that goes over the calf from the knee down. The shank is evolved from leggings in ancient times, and will continue to expand upwards to become trousers in the future (but there are no trousers yet,  Just the shin coat on the calf), for soldiers, the shin coat on the calf is the leather "greaves".  Put on these three layers of armor, including upper body armor, hip armor, and greaves, put on a bronze helmet on your head, wield a twelve-stone crossbow, carry fifty arrows, carry a sword, pack three days' worth of food, and carry a heavy load.  Running, only those who can run a hundred miles from dawn to noon can be recruited.  At that time, one hundred miles was equivalent to the current 4[6 kilometers], which was equivalent to a full marathon and required half a day to be completed. Moreover, these soldiers carried so many armors and weapons, not just vests and trousers.  Nowadays, the same method is used to select regular army officers and soldiers from the reserve force. In addition, they must pass the cultural examination, because all reserve soldiers have intensive training time three times a month, for two days each time.  Cultural classes are held first in the morning, and formal military training begins at noon and ends in the afternoon. It is precisely because of the cultural classes that many people who originally disliked the reserve military service responded enthusiastically.  "However, the reserve service stipulated by my master only allows young adults between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five to participate. Others who are overage or underage will not be allowed to participate by the reserve department.  The conscription system was very popular for a while during the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, and then gradually declined.  Since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu implemented the military strike policy, the military service system in the Eastern Han Dynasty has also undergone great changes. The universal conscription system in the Qin and Western Han Dynasties was gradually abolished and replaced by the recruitment system.  In the Eastern Han Dynasty, regardless of whether the central army, local temporary armies or long-term troops were stationed, most of them recruited soldiers through recruitment, such as Xianglin Camp, Chang'an Camp, Yongying, Yuyang Camp, etc., and their soldiers were all recruited.  The recruitment system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was very different from that of the Western Han Dynasty.  The recruitment system of the Western Han Dynasty was an auxiliary and supplement to the conscription system. There were only a few soldiers recruited, but they were all carefully selected and brave men. In battle, one was often as good as ten, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.  The military service system of the Eastern Han Dynasty took the recruitment system as the main form and no longer had any requirements for the candidates. Therefore, the composition of the soldiers was complex, mostly social idlers and unemployed vagrants, but also farmers, businessmen, ethnic minority men, and even some  Death row prisoners, such as Duliao Camp, were composed of recruited prisoners on death row, and there were also many prisoners stationed in other important places.  The army composed of these people has low quality, poor combat effectiveness, and corrupt military discipline.  The main method of recruiting soldiers in the Eastern Han Dynasty was to induce them with property.  The first person to adopt this method was Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.  When Liu Xiu first started his army, he asked Ren Guang for advice because he had few soldiers. Ren Guang suggested: "You can recruit troops and attack nearby counties. If they don't surrender, you can be plundered."  If people are greedy for money, then soldiers can be recruited.  This kind of thinking influenced the rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to attract more people to recruit soldiers, they often supported and condoned the soldiers to rob property.  Many people who enlist in the army often intend to plunder other people's property and have no intention of fighting.  In this way, although there are many soldiers recruited, the combat effectiveness can be imagined.  Other methods of recruiting soldiers in the Eastern Han Dynasty include recruiting soldiers on the condition of being exempted from tax and service.  For example, when the warlords were fighting at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Ce first entered Jiangdong. He recruited more than 20,000 soldiers and more than a thousand horses on the condition that he would be willing to join the army and restore his clan.  In addition to reasons such as complexity, low quality, and poor military discipline, the recruitment system is often based on emergency temporary recruitment. Soldiers have no military training and are not accustomed to riding and shooting. Although soldiers who have been stationed for a long time are professional soldiers, they have to serve in the army for life and their service time is very long.  , He joined the army at the age of fifteen and returned only at the age of eighty. As a result, there were a large number of sick, old and weak soldiers in the army, and their combat effectiveness naturally became increasingly low.  The most serious drawback of the prevalence of the recruitment system in the Eastern Han Dynasty was that it facilitated the armed separatism of local warlords.  In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the centralization of power was strengthened, and local officials did not have many soldiers, so the recruitment of soldiers had to be ordered by the central government.  After the middle period, with the decline of imperial power and the development of the recruitment system, military and political officials in various places recruited soldiers and formed armies on their own. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, these armies had become their own private armed forces, allowing them to rule the roost.  Such a system of recruiting troops is naturally nonsense, and I despise it. The recruitment of troops can only be done by the state. No one is allowed to recruit troops privately, otherwise, they will be treated as treason.  Yes, after I came to power, I made extremely strict regulations.  And Qu Tutong and others also handed over their tribe to this young master, or to the court, very understandingly.  And my master naturally knows how to give a plum and repay a peach, and has made regulations for officials at all levels. ?For example, a military official at the level of General Qu Tutong will have a guard team, with a team of one hundred people.  Ninety percent of the guard brigade are selected from the Imperial Guards, and the other ten are selected from the special forces.  "And if it is a civilian official, like Dean Wei, it is a guard squadron, which is fifty people.  In addition, officials may be allowed to use their own bodies or servants as their personal guards, but the number shall not exceed twenty.  In addition, all guards are rotated every two years.  And only officials with rank four or above can have guards.  Those below the fourth rank will naturally not have such benefits.  In this way, the safety of all the important officials of the court has been sufficiently guaranteed. More importantly, these soldiers belong to the court and the country, and are no longer private.  This makes these court ministers no longer have a strong military force, making it impossible for them to use armed force to deal with the court or do other bad things.  Fundamentally solved a hidden danger.  You must know that in the past, as a dignified Duke of Qi, it was normal for me to have hundreds of bubu in my family. Even in the eyes of other noble families, hundreds of bubu were pitifully few. Take Guande  For Wang Yangxiong, King Guande alone has three thousand troops, not counting the guards and Zhuang Ding.  " And Yang Xuangan is even more incredible. He has nearly 8,000 private equity units, and these 8,000 units are his fundamental strength.  Just like when Yang Xuangan attacked Luoyang, the number of private troops assembled by the noble families in Luoyang City alone reached tens of thousands, accounting for more than half of the defenders.  In other words, if someone really has the prestige and the intention to unite all these private soldiers together, it is even possible to organize a powerful army to take over Luoyang City from the inside when Yang Guang is conquering Goguryeo.  It is precisely because I saw this scene at that time that I took it seriously.  Therefore, regulations were established at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and many established aristocratic families must abide by these regulations regardless of whether they have family members serving in the court.  Of course, you don¡¯t have to disband if you don¡¯t want to, but you can no longer call it a department. At most, it can only be called a bodyguard or a guardian.  And there are strict restrictions on the number of people. I don't think that the first-grade general in the current Dynasty only has a guard. How can you be better than the general?  Therefore, the number of private guards used by the noble family to guard the courtyard must not exceed fifty, and they must report to the Chang'an Security Headquarters for registration.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  There will be certain penalties for those who hide crossbows and armors privately, but this is not the case for family armors.  After all, I like ancient armor very much. In later generations, it is almost impossible to find an armor made in ancient times in China. This is because in ancient times, there was no strict control over swords, but for crossbows, long weapons, and  The armor is extremely tightly controlled.  In my eyes, after the musket is developed, the most awesome armor will gradually withdraw from the stage of history. In this case, it is better to keep those people as heirlooms so that people can admire the ancient armor in future generations.  Authentic military culture and art.  From the very beginning I took charge of military affairs in Hancheng.  All soldiers adopt a recruitment system. Of course, reserve service is compulsory, but they are only trained locally. If you want to become a professional soldier, you must naturally choose from the reserve force.  Fortunately, I know how to make money, which has greatly increased the financial resources of the national treasury and is able to support so many soldiers and horses. The monthly salary for these soldiers is five hundred yuan.  Although it's not much, not even as much as some skilled workers or shop assistants, it's enough for a family to live for half a month.  In addition, when each soldier retires, he will also receive a considerable amount of retirement allowance. The lowest level is an ordinary soldier who has only been in the army for two years and then retires. He can also receive a retirement allowance of ten dollars. Although ten dollars may seem like  It's not much, but it's enough to buy more than ten acres of thin farmland.  The most important thing is that the privileges that soldiers receive after retirement are the same as those of parliamentarians and nobles, which makes many people eager to become a member of the Chinese Imperial Army.  "The army is the backbone of the country, and it is also the guarantee that China can be safe. The purity and seriousness of the team must be maintained. Any behavior that violates military discipline must not be tolerated." I raised my eyebrows and said coldly.  A large number of civil and military ministers in front of me did not dare to say a word. Well, the main reason was that I had just made a big fuss. For no other reason than that the soldiers of the newly formed Thirty Army actually came to Chang'an at night to play.  Forget about playing, Chang¡¯an has canceled the curfew anyway.  But the problem is that nearly twenty soldiers of the newly formed army and a captain did not come to their vacation, but sneaked in quietly.  ¡°And somewhere I went, I ended up in a brothel. Because I was jealous of others, I made a big fuss in the brothel, and was eventually captured by the security forces who were on patrol last night.  ??Five people saw the opportunity quickly and sneaked away.
