Zhao Bing thought things through thoroughly before he slept in a daze. When he woke up, it was already bright and the convoy had already set up camp. Smoke had already risen everywhere, but he didn't notice it.

"Your Majesty, did Supervisor Jiang have a rebellious intention?" Seeing the emperor get out of the car, Ni Liang came up to salute and asked softly.

"What do you think?" Although the imperial car was wide, he still felt tired after sitting on it for a long time. Zhao Bing stretched and turned his face to look at Ni Liang. He saw that his eyes were black and his face was worried. It was obvious that he had been thinking about it for a long time after hearing his talk with Wang Yinglin last night. He still asked while moving his hands and feet.

"I don't know. But I think Your Majesty should think twice. After all, Jiang Shuai is holding heavy troops, and there are not one of them. If there is any change in his way, you may be trapped in it!" Ni Liang said seriously.

"If Jiang Shuai really rebelled, do you think he could succeed?" Zhao Bing thought he would defend Jiang Jian, but what he thought of was his own safety first. He felt warm in his heart, but his face remained unchanged and asked.

"If my subordinates can't explain clearly, if they can rebel, their soldiers may not follow him!" Ni Liang thought about it and shook his head.

"Sir Jiang has been in charge of the imperial guards under his headquarters for more than ten years, and most of the generals have their Jiang family's children. How could he not obey if he was in trouble?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"The subordinates think that the soldiers take them from the people. If the soldiers are out of the garrison, the soldiers' families stay in their homes, and the officers' families stay in their camps and do not follow the army to fight. If they rebel, they will inevitably implicate the family. The soldiers and generals will naturally not follow them even if they have any considerations." Ni Liang replied.

"Since that's the case, why are I worried about going? Aren't you too worried?" Zhao Bing patted his shoulder and smiled.

"Even so, I am still worried that someone will take the risk and it will be unfavorable to Your Majesty!" Ni Liang was stunned for a moment, and realized that he had refuted himself, and said authentically.

"Don't worry, Jiang Shuai has always been loyal and has no intention of rebelling. I just doubt why he wanted to retreat." Zhao Bing comforted him with a smile.

"Have you ever figured it out?" Ni Liang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded and asked.

"It's because he's thinking too much!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.

"Oh, I'm thinking too much!" Ni Liang thought for a while. Although he didn't understand why he thought too much, he didn't ask, and said with a hint of embarrassment.

Zhao Bing was also happy. He was confident that the generals would not easily rebel, not only because of his control over the chief generals of various divisions, but also took many precautions. After all, the lesson was too painful. During the Mongolian-Song War, Liu Zheng, the deputy envoy of the Pacification of Tongchuan Prefecture Road and the governor of Luzhou, was led by Liu Zheng, and the 15th army, the provincial and household registration of the 300,000 yuan was surrendered to Yuan. Later, the prefectures along the Song River surrendered to Yuan Chengfeng, and the deputy envoy of the Yangtze River surrendered to Huangzhou Chen Yi, the governor of Qizhou Guan Jingmo surrendered to the city, Qian Zhensun, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Cao Ming of Liu'an, the governor of Huaixi Road surrendered to the city, and Lu Wenhuan, the governor of Xiangfan, surrendered to Yuan.

After the fall of the Yangtze River defense line, the general of Yuezhou Meng Zhishao surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, the commander of Chizhou Zhang Lin surrendered to the city, Zhu Huan surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty with Yangzhou, and the promotion of Jiangzhou Xingguo Palace Lu Shikui, the governor of Jiangxi Fuzhou Qian Zhensun Ying surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, the governor of Nankang Army Ye Chang surrendered to the city, the governor of Anqing Prefecture Fan Wenhu surrendered to the city, the deputy governor of Hubei Fuzhou Gao Shijie surrendered to the city, and the Xia Gui surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty with three prefectures, six prefectures and thirty-six counties in Huaixi...

The bloody lesson is vivid in my mind, and of course Zhao Bing will not turn a blind eye. When he reorganized the new army, he thought of this problem. In addition to using measures such as separation of military and political affairs, sending spies to monitor, and mixed troops, he also reformed the Song army recruitment system, which was changed to a limit of seven years of service for life, and he could retire and return home after the expiration of the term. However, after entering Jiangnan, the military system adopted by Zhao Bing was actually similar to the garrison system founded by Zhao Gou.

The garrison system was in the early Southern Song Dynasty. The army went through the process of dispersion to reorganization, and gradually formed five large garrison troops. Until the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, it successively established the imperial army in Xingzhou, Xingyuan Prefecture, Jinzhou, Jiangling Prefecture, Ezhou, Jiangzhou, Chizhou, Jiankang Prefecture, and Zhenjiang Prefecture, which was governed by the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief. In order to defend the important military areas for a long time, resist the invasion of the enemy, rather than the imperial guards implemented in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Bing followed this approach, using various parts of the imperial guards to station in key areas along the river and organize the Yangtze River defense line. However, this approach also had the disadvantages of the previous period, so he absorbed Cao Cao's measures to prevent the army from surrendering...

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu Han could be called a major event, but during his surrender, Xiahou Ba did not take away a soldier. For example, Wu Qiu Jian, among the "Three Rebels in Huainan", did not rebel with him during the Shouchun rebellion. Zhong Hui wanted to establish himself in Shuzhong under the instigation of Jiang Wei. Unexpectedly, Zhong Hui was killed by his subordinates before he succeeded.

In contrast, the situation of Wu and Shu was not so good. When the Shu general Meng Da surrendered to Wei, he even brought people and cities together, and the situation of Wu was basically the same. After Shu was destroyed, Buchan, the Eastern Wu who surrendered to the Western Jin Dynasty, brought Xiling City and tens of thousands of soldiers. So the question is, is it that the soldiers of Wei who are highly loyal?

Of course it is impossible. One of the biggest reasons why the soldiers of Wei surrendered and did not follow the generals was the system of Wei, which was the system of mismanagement founded by Cao Cao. The establishment of this special management system made the soldiers of Wei become scruples in rebellion, and the core of the system of mismanagement was to separate the flesh and blood.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the army adopted the form of "teams", that is, family members and soldiers were in the same place. Since the warlords occupied only one state or several counties at that time, the soldiers were basically in the local area and their families followed. Later, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu also retained the "teams" system. However, the Wei State was independent, "human servants and households were in one place", and separated the family and soldiers, which was called "miss service".

During the Cao Cao period, this situation was quite common. For example: After Cao Cao pacified Jizhou, Yuan Shang's soldiers who surrendered to Jizhou were transferred to the southern part of Xudu to garrison. After Cao Cao drove away Ma Chao, he transferred soldiers from Guanzhong to Guandong. After Cao Cao, Sima Zhao, after quelling the rebellion in Huainan, he also transferred surrendered troops from the Eastern Wu to the Central Plains.

In addition to dispatching soldiers, they also often dispatch their families to other places. In Yecheng, the core area of ​​Wei State, there is a special group of "Shijia". These people are like hostages of soldiers. Soldiers go to various places to guard, while their families live near Yecheng. Not only that, their household registration remains unchanged, and their families join the army for generations. This system is very similar to the military household system of the Yuan Dynasty later. In addition to living together, these "Shijia" also have to be intermarried within the "Shijia".

Why was Cao Cao the only one who implemented the wrong military system? This is related to the environment in which Wei State was located. The establishment of Wei State was achieved by annexing the various warlords of the Central Plains. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population and economy of the Central Plains exceeded that of other regions. During the annexing process, the surrendered troops of the warlords Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, Han Sui, and Zhang Lu were not trusted by Cao Cao, so they had to isolate their families from the soldiers to ensure loyalty.

In addition, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains suffered from war. The population decreased a lot and the land was deserted. Cao Cao attached great importance to restoring production. Manpower was the most important part of restoring production in ancient times. Therefore, Cao Cao often migrated his population to reclaim wasteland to restore severe economic damage. Therefore, moving his family members is also an important measure to prevent the loss of population and soldiers.

Compared with Wei, the situation of Wu and Shu was relatively simple. Since Lu Meng "crossed the river in white" and the main control area was Yizhou, only the Chengdu Plain and Hanzhong area were relatively densely populated. Although the control area of ​​Wu looked like a vast area of ​​southern Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, in fact, only a few cities along the Yangtze River had relatively dense populations. Therefore, the verbal system was followed.

However, the risk of doing this is quite great. Because once the general surrenders to the enemy, he will take it away. If he is still a prefect, he will surrender directly to the city and the people. Bu Chan surrendered to the Western Jin Dynasty, which means that the entire Xiling City will be dedicated to the Western Jin Dynasty. If it were not for the Lu Resistance and Punishment of the Rebellion, the unification of the Three Kingdoms would probably have been much earlier.

Although Cao Cao's wrongful service law was harsh, it was quite effective for the loyalty of the army. The most typical example of this was Wuqiu Jian's rebellion. "The soldiers in Huainan were all in the north, and the people were dispersed. Those who surrendered were from each other, but Huainan's newly attached peasants were used for it." Just imagine, if it were not for the wrongful service law, if the Huainan soldiers were in the local area, they would definitely fight to the death. It was precisely because of the wrongful service law that Wuqiu Jian could only use the newly attached peasants to fight.

In addition, the law of wrongful service also has a certain deterrent effect on the generals. Sima Yi has served in the army for a long time, but when he launched the Gaopingling coup, he used not his army in the northwest, but his own dead soldiers. If Cao Shuang had not been fooled into being a "rich man", Sima Yi would probably be quite guilty. In addition to Sima Yi, Zhuge Dan, who rebels in Huainan, was the same.

The system of wrong-service law had an irreplaceable role in maintaining the rule of Cao Wei, and the Western Jin Dynasty also followed it. In the subsequent dynasties, the figure of wrong-service law often appeared in the military system. However, in the Song Dynasty, this system was abolished because of the system that "separated soldiers from their families and ruled the army too cruelly". Instead, soldiers could serve with their families and specially built houses in the military camps to resettle their families. Even if the army was more garrisoned, their families could also follow the army.

Before entering Jiangnan, Zhao Bing ordered that soldiers were not allowed to bring their families, and that officers above were allowed to follow the army before their families could follow the army, but they could not follow the army when they went to war. At first, he was not allowed to adopt this method because of financial difficulties. Otherwise, not only would he have to build a large number of dormitories, but he would also have to take care of his family when mobilizing them. That means that ten thousand soldiers would have to have at least 20,000 to 30,000 families to accompany them, and the financial situation at that time could not afford it.
