Chapter 337 The Imperial Family
With the King of Yan constantly urging behind him, Luo Yong naturally did not dare to neglect and patrolled along the canal section. In fact, he didn't need this at all, but if he didn't think of it, he could better reflect the way of doing it himself.
The King of Yan moved his mouth and his subordinates ran to break his legs. There is only one thing in the whole Youzhou now, which is to connect the canal. The difference is that some people go directly to the construction, and some people sit next to the supervisor, that's all.
In Pingzhou, endless herds of horses ran, they were unruly and in groups. This was their place, and one day, they would turn into war horses in an instant and collapse on the battlefield.
The salt farm in Beiping County was busy all the time. After being handed over to the court, the busyness of the salt farm did not decrease at all. It still produced step by step and became a huge source of wealth in Youzhou. As Sima Ji said, as long as the salt farm cannot be moved away, it doesn’t matter whether it is the King of Yan or the court, but it is still beneficial to Youzhou.
The ancient trees among the mountains are towering but very lively. Hydraulic machinery is supported by nature and shows its value in this small valley, because population has never been a problem. In terms of hydraulic power utilization, ancient China was definitely not among the best, because many things can be replaced by large-scale population. Any machinery is an icing on the cake for the dynasty and is not overly relied on.
In Europe, which has been widely and sparsely populated for a long time, the relationship between hydraulic machinery and people is closer. Now, things have finally changed a little. The forged breastplate has been tested and stored, waiting to come in handy one day.
To the north of Yanshan Mountain is a territory of the Xianbei people. A large number of Youzhou officials guided the country in the Murong and Yuwen families and led the grassland tribes to establish cities. With the approval of the King of Yan, these officials worked hard and soon became the most respected existence among many tribes, especially among small tribes.
Although the Xianbei people were divided into six major tribes, there were small tribes that were not well-known within themselves and in the corners of a small number of people. They were attached to the Murong family and the Yuwen family. Now, when several large tribes mobilized their manpower to build cities, while they were together day and night, the control of several large tribes was also increasing, which was also considered to be the use of building cities to integrate the tribes into cohesion.
This change is foreseeable, and Sima Ji is not surprised by this. For this grassland overlord since the Huns, Sima Ji definitely does not want the other party to integrate into a collective like the Huns, but he also does not want it to be too fragmented. If the grassland is too fragmented, the boundaries of Youzhou will be unstable, so it is good to maintain the status quo now.
The Great Wall with Yanshan as the center has been renovated. At least it is not a problem to be divided into several Xianbei tribes with subtle relationships. What's more, Youzhou is the best in the entire Jin Dynasty, and it has the support of the Great Wall. As long as there are other tribes, Youzhou can be safe.
"What kind of military system should be used?" This is the question Sima Ji, who was hiding in the royal palace, thought about recently. This question is not aimed at the Boy Scouts of Yanshan Camp. Yanshan Camp was trained in the new army of the Ottoman Empire. Before major reforms occurred in Europe, the Turkish new army could be said to be invincible in the Eurasian continent.
No country will have soldiers of extremely low origins and become prime ministers of a country without any support. However, the Turkish new army system gave such an opportunity, which is the militarized imperial examination system. During the three-century period of the Ottoman Empire, almost two-thirds of the prime ministers emerged from the Christian slaves in this group of new army.
A Christian slave served as the prime minister of an empire in an enemy sect and conquered his former country.
As long as we ensure that there will be no hereditary soldiers in the Yanshan Camp and before the professional army in later generations did not appear, Sima Ji believed that no matter how bad the Yanshan Camp is, it will be no less.
As for the Jurchens, the Mengan Mouke and the Eight Banners they later used were the military system that suited them the most suitable for them. The time they maintained their combat effectiveness was quite long, and they also had their own evaluation of Sima Ji of the Eight Banners Army, that is, the understanding that they could not fight for twenty years after entering the pass must be fake. If they could not fight themselves, they would not be able to save this weakness in their wise ruling methods. Judging from previous wars, the Eight Banners Army has always had the ability to suppress and rebel.
Compared with the Yuan Dynasty, at the same time, the Eight Banners Army exploded in Qinghai torch Junggar. Dazai Qianyuan had already returned to the Mongolian grassland to graze. Compared with the Mongolian army of the Yuan Dynasty and the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty, just like the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the former burst out was eye-catching, but the latter did not have the same stable output as before.
So why should the Han Dynasty, especially the Western Han Dynasty, be ranked first in major dynasties, win because of this stable output. As long as the Jurchens are not allowed to enter the pass, Sima Ji believes that the combat effectiveness of the Jurchens will be guaranteed to be longer.
The Xianbei tribes north of Yanshan are now very good. There are no problems with several forces now. The problem is that the military system of our Great Jin seems to be coming to an end soon. The Great Jin adopted the world-class military system. Soldiers served as soldiers for life, fathers died and sons succeeded, brothers died and brothers lived together, and they fulfilled their military obligations for the country from generation to generation. The country's main source of military troops is the children of soldiers. Whether it is good or not, it is all you, and the quality is very different.
In this case, the Luoyang Imperial Army was less affected, but once the fight started, the royal family and vassal kings were in charge of the military affairs of the states. In order to expand their own strength, they also recruited soldiers and horses, resulting in the military strength being more important than the outside and the inside being less under the jurisdiction of the local towns. At this time, from top to bottom, they began to recruit a large number of soldiers without regard for their origins. After recruiting, they were put on the battlefield.
It is certain that the world military system will be disintegrated. Sima Ji cannot arrange all the surrounding forces clearly. It will be my turn to make a day pass by, and my army will be unreliable in the end. However, the Yanshan Camp model is destined to be able to train middle-level officers. Not to mention that Zhou cannot afford to support the entire Jin Dynasty.
"The Tang Dynasty's military system was too easily affected by agricultural society. The Song Dynasty's imperial guards, the Song Dynasty's foreign war ability!" Yuan Qing put it aside first, and Sima Ji couldn't help but grin, "Later, it went bankrupt, poorer than beggars, those early modern warlords such as the Hunan Army and Huai Army of the Qing Dynasty?"
With the current military town distribution of the Jin Dynasty, the ancestors of the modern warlords, mainly teachers, students, fellow villagers, relatives and neighbors, seemed to be nothing inappropriate. Sima Ji slapped his thigh and said, "It's just it, use it for the time being, kill other royal families and then think about how to change it."
Unexpectedly, the King of Yan first thought of a solution from the ancestors of several modern warlords, and wrote a plan first. Then he used the form of consignment to mobilize. Jurchens, Xianbei, Pingzhou, and Youzhou. All the more or less mobilized forces are met. As long as someone fires the first shot, the King of Yan will join the melee. What is still lacking is that the canal has not yet been opened.
This is Luo Yong's business. Every night, Luo Yong was calculating how much the project was completed today. As more and more corpses of the hanging pillars became, Luo Yong also felt that blindly whipping could not solve the problem. It was impossible to keep going day and night. If this continues, no one could stand it. He wrote his thoughts in a letter and submitted them to the King of Yan.
"The villain dared not be negligent in the slightest period of time since January, but the labor service was heavy, and the war drums that fell dead were buried every day, and prisoners of war resistance were common. Even the corvee service issued by the fiefdom was unbearable. The whipping of soldiers may not be a long-term solution. The villain boldly advised and set the time to work. The working time was eight hours, which would definitely ensure the completion of the canal."
"I really seem to love it more and more like Emperor Yang of Sui." Sima Ji asked himself that it seemed to be a little too much, but when he saw it, his face changed. What is this? Is it an eight-hour working system? How could it feel like a big imperialist capitalist?
"What's going on with Qingxuan? I heard that the canal was dug in Youzhou, and the road was filled with complaints. The pillars were erected on both sides of the canal, and corpses were hung on it to deter the corvee service in the canal." Wang Rong asked in a question in the Luoyang court without any thought. This time, the fence of the country's suspicion naturally reported the situation to Luoyang quickly.
It’s easy to say anything else, but pillars were buried on both sides of the canal and hanged bodies as a shock. Even Wang Rong, who had been living by muddles, felt that it was too much, let alone others.
"I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the people!" Zhang Hua gently stroked his long beard and said slowly, "It's indeed much more serious than before."
"The King of Yan has done it many times and has never become a civil unrest. I believe that something will happen." Jia Mo was not very concerned about this matter. "One hundred thousand corvee labor is 70,000 prisoners of war, what are you afraid of?"
"What do you think about the queen?" Pei Fu handed over the decision on this matter to Jia Nanfeng. Among the several ministers, Zhang Hua had the highest reputation and Wang Rong had the best background, but generally he and Jia Mo made the decision. He could not decide to hand it over to Jia Nanfeng for treatment.
"Qingxuan has a clear idea that something will happen." Jia Nanfeng responded absent-mindedly, "Just issue an order to ask, but it is not good to blame the important officials of the royal family for being too harsh."
When Jia Nanfeng talked about the word "Lian Family", he was very serious. When he thought of the royal family, he had a headache. The conflict between the foreign relatives and the royal family could never be well reconciled. With King Zhao Sima Lun, King Zhao Sima Lun, was obedient, but King Zhao Sima Lun was disrespectful, had no prestige and poor ability, so he could only hold some idle positions. King Xia Pi, Sima Huang, who had some influence on the royal family, had passed away. Another royal family elder, King Liang, Sima Lun, fell to serve in the court to serve as a general, a Shangshu Ling, a general, and recorded the affairs of the Shangshu. But King Liang was disobedient, and he was the emperor's uncle, so there was no need to curry favor with him.
