Chapter 272: Confidentiality(2/2)

Hearing the question from behind, Gongsun Yang slowly turned around and began to talk about what he had in mind about Wei soldiers and even the entire Wei army.

The first thing Gongsun Yang had to do was to reduce the number of Wei soldiers.

Since the formation of the army for decades, Wei soldiers have always represented the highest level of the Wei army's combat effectiveness and are also a sharp blade for the Wei army to defeat the enemy on the battlefield.

In the eyes of most people in the Wei military and even the court, the more such troops, the better. This also led to the expansion of the number of Wei soldiers.

Especially since the current Wei Hou Wei Feng succeeded to the throne, with the impressive achievements of Wei's soldiers on various battlefields, the number of Wei's soldiers has increased from 60,000 at the beginning to 100,000 today.

The increase in the number of Wei soldiers may be a good thing in the eyes of others, but in Gongsun Yang's view, the 100,000 Wei soldiers are really an extremely heavy burden for the Wei state.

This burden will make every step forward for the Wei State extremely difficult, and in the end it will even drag the entire Wei State that supports it into the abyss.

Therefore, it is urgent to reduce the number of Wei soldiers.

One hundred thousand Wei soldiers were too many, and fifty thousand were also too many. They had to be reduced to at least thirty thousand.

As soon as Gongsun Yang's upper and lower lips touched, the original 70,000 Wei soldiers would be reduced. You must know that this represents more than 70,000 people.

According to the original orders followed by Wei Wuzu, as long as you join Wei Wuzu, you will be a Wei Wuzu for the rest of your life.

In addition to the generous treatment enjoyed by the soldiers of Wei, you will also receive a piece of land given to you by the State of Wei, and this land will belong to your family from now on.

Regardless of whether any of your descendants join Wei Wuzu, this land will belong to your family.

Therefore, a Wei soldier definitely does not represent one person, but most likely a family with a large number of people.

This leads to the second method that Gongsun Yang wants to implement, which is to weaken the land and privileges passed down from generation to generation by Wei soldiers.

In Gongsun Yang's plan, it is understandable that the soldiers of Wei themselves enjoyed generous treatment, which they earned from fighting on the battlefield.

Only Wei Wuzu himself can enjoy such treatment and privileges, but his descendants without military merit should be absolutely prohibited from enjoying all this, or at least should be severely weakened.

If you want to enjoy the same generous treatment as your parents, you need to fight with the sword in your hand, so that you are qualified to enjoy it all.

Of course, not only the descendants of Wei Wuzu, but also the old Wei Wuzu must be restricted.

This is the third point that Gongsun Yang wants to change, that is, the withdrawal mechanism that Wei soldiers must implement after they get old or have their combat power damaged.

Wei Wuzu is the sharpest sword in the Wei army, and its purpose of existence is to face the most dangerous situations.

At the beginning of the formation of the army, the elite divisions composed of Wei soldiers who were selected strictly according to the standards were naturally able to do everything against the enemy.

However, with the aging of the years and the continuous accumulation of injuries, the once powerful Wei Wuzu no longer had the dazzling edge it once had.

Although there is still a steady supply of fresh blood, today's Wei Wuzu is more like an old man who is gradually aging, and weakness has become an inevitable trend.

In Gongsun Yang's view, if you want to save the current decline of Wei's military forces, you must use great perseverance to eliminate those rotten things.

In front of Sun Boling, Gongsun Yang spoke out his heartfelt thoughts sentence by sentence.

But when Sun Boling heard all this, only two words remained.

"cruel!"
