5days ago traverse Novels 2
At dinner that night, Yu Liang was invited to sit at the same table with the commander, and there was actually wine!

After three rounds of drinking, the commander asked Yu Liang how many people he could find.Yu Liang couldn't answer, and he asked some questions about going into battle, but the commander could not answer.

The commander said: Let’s not care about the war.

Yu Liang wondered: Why is the imperial court not recruiting troops for war?

The commander said: Brother Yu is the first to arrive, but he doesn't know anything.Cao Gong was ordered to set up the "Five Army Governor's Office", including a total of five armies.We are the commander-in-chief of the army, and now we only recruit people, regardless of war.

Yu Liang was a little confused when he heard this and murmured: So that's it...

Commander: The Governor's Office of the Five Army has three levels, and the capital is the Governor's Office; ten to fifteen prefectures have provinces, and there is a Governor's Office, and the prefectures and prefectures have a Governor's Branch.We are the commander-in-chief branch of Kaifeng Prefecture, and now there is only the commanding army branch.The yamen is in the city, and when the good things are repaired, they will be moved over.

The commander smiled and said: Brother Yu said he didn't know how to do martial arts before, but he was really not hiding it. My general's martial arts were also very vague, but he just knew how to read.Anyway, the generals who command the army will not fight.

Yu Liang said sincerely, no wonder this brother is so easy to talk to. He turned out to be a special person to recruit people. He said politely: Wherever he is, the general is too humble.

The commander laughed and said: It's really too deserted!He seemed to see through Yu Liang's thoughts and said, "But we will deal with each other in the future."The people of the army who are dispatched to gather troops to fight, so we have to find all the people; during training, the army who are dispatched to teach, and we are still responsible for the brothers.

Yu Liang frowned and said: Don’t you know the person who brought us into battle?

The commander pondered: You must know who the name is, you are not familiar with it.However, the people below the deputy commander are not divided; the superiors are not familiar with whom, the subordinates, the heads, and the ten generals are all brothers they usually know... No matter who the superiors are, they are all officials who report to the army to come to pass the military orders. All the military orders of more than a hundred people are responsible for reporting to the army. You can go wherever you go and fight wherever you call.

That's true.Yu Liang agreed, he didn't understand military service anyway.

The commander picked up the wine bowl and his face was already red, but he was still clear about it. I have to explain some things clearly to Brother Yu, so you can have a good idea when you recruit people.

Yu Liang hurriedly clasped his fists and said: I hope the general will inform you.

Commander: There is no military pay, and no military pay is left by the soldiers below the deputy commander.

Yu Liang: ...

If there is military pay, the court will just expand the imperial guards directly. Why do you have to make it so troublesome?The commander glanced at him: It's not without benefits.As long as you are a registered residence, you will not need to be corvee. The whole family does not need to suffer or suffer. Isn’t it? If you take a step back, even if someone takes money to hire someone for corvee, you will have to spend money?

Yu Liang frowned and said: That's true.

He thought to himself: I'm not trying to save that little money. Besides, I'm a student and I don't have to do corvee service at all.

The commander said: I usually gathered up to train troops, and the food and clothing are all provided by the public. After the training, I will send some food, cloth, salt, etc. more or less to take them home. Anyway, when I don’t train troops, everyone will farm when they should farm, do craftsman’s work, and do craftsman’s work, and read without delaying them...

What if it is a war?

This is the big one!

Before the troops are dispatched, some settlement fees will be paid. After the battle, the reward will be given according to the level of military merit. The money and grain army will be paid directly, so that it is clear that it is not deceptive. It is entirely possible to rely on this land to buy a property!

He was dead and disabled, and he had pensions, and the emperor's inner treasury money came to pay.If the inner treasury has no money, the emperor will use the fertile land of the "official land" to get it.

Those who are afraid of being poor can only sacrifice their lives and do this business without losing money.

Yu Liang was stunned.

The commander said kindly: Brother Yu is different from ordinary soldiers, and you have a better future.Work hard, and after making merit, ask if you want money or official positions, you need an official position. Once you break through to the level of deputy commander, you will truly eat imperial food for the rest of your life!

If you can pass the "Maining Department" in the Ministry of Rites, you will be transferred to a civil servant. If you can't pass the exam, you will be on the side of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. No matter which army you go to, you will be a military general who receives a salary.For example, a general who commands the army does not need to fight, but manages people. What is the difference between them and officials?

After hearing this, Yu Liang nodded vigorously. This is what he wants, the way to move forward!

……

It is already night in Jiangning Mansion. The autumn rain drizzles on the long street, and the light of the lanterns becomes hazy, giving rise to a sense of coldness.

In the headquarters of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Cao Bin was still watching the file under the lamp.

He looked tired and hadn't had a good sleep for many days.

A young man brought the tea and whispered: Ah Lang will take a break and he will be better.

snort.Cao Bin did not answer.

Although most of the people in this village don’t pay military salaries, Cao Bin roughly calculated that the emperor spent a lot of money.If it is done, most of the emperor's inner treasury's belongings will be thrown into it. Can you spare yourself?

However, Cao Bin also found that this was a huge opportunity.

Because the matter is of great importance, if he succeeds, as the first helm of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, he may be more glorious than the generals and prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. The prime minister may have to give in to him when he meets him!

It is of great importance, not only as simple as setting up a military palace and a Jiangnan camp.

Cao Bin carefully pondered under the lamp all the chapters and entries of the Privy Council’s military and national order.This is a major strategy at the national policy level.

Not only is it like forming 100,000 soldiers, but 100,000 soldiers are just the first batch.The Privy Council means to expand its military source on a large scale and implement a three-layer strategy to explore the potential of war.

The first floor is the local village army.Military-owned soldiers can be directly recruited to fight in an army.

The second floor is the soldiers who have been re-registered.

After three years of residency, some people will return to their civilian status by going to military service.

However, they have fought wars and can be used when they gather together. As long as the court has money and lacks military strength, they can recruit soldiers to form an army.

The third floor is unregistered soldiers.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army will organize and train men over 16 years old all over the world to let them know how to use simple weapons, understand military laws, and have experience in marching and formation.

In wartime, as long as you pay money, you can recruit and concentrate training as an army.

Cao Bin felt that this was a crazy national policy, and it was not an exaggeration for civil servants to criticize the military for being powerful.Otherwise, what is the military order?

However, once this national policy is successful, the Great Zhou will definitely become a powerful country with force.

As long as there is money and food, the court can invest wealth and national strength in military affairs... This is what Guo Shao occasionally mentioned, is it necessary to transform national strength?

Cao Bin picked up another stack of paper, which were all recommended by the guards Mabusi and Palace Front Office, most of which were the military generals in the Xiaying who had been rushing to farm in the past.

These people will serve as military generals in the Commander of the Army.

Now Cao Bin wants to establish the command and envoy branches of various provinces and prefectures first.

I just thought that the matter was of great importance, even the government structure changed by military and national orders.

Previously, the local system of each dynasty mainly inherited the second-level official system of counties since the Qin Dynasty; the prefecture (a relatively important state-level official government, called the prefecture, such as Kaifeng Prefecture), and the county-level official government.

Now there is an additional province directly under the central government, which belongs to the third-level official government.Now there are only provincial-level command command departments, but they are always higher than those in the prefectures and counties.

Cao Bin felt that it was a bit similar to the governor of the Tang Dynasty, but his power was not that great.

The commander-in-chief only manages the troops and only has the power to command the troops; the power to transfer military troops, money, and armory are not located in the local area.

He has no right to interfere in local governance, taxation, etc., because the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Sixth Ministry of the Political Affairs Hall belong to two different government offices.

There is also the "Runners' Office of the Five Army Governors' Office, which is very special. It belongs to the Governors' Office, but the Governors' Office cannot manage it, and it is the Privy Council.

Cao Bin guessed that in addition to ordinary officials in this yamen, there were also undercover spies from the Privy Council's Military and Cao Si... He had heard that the military and Cao Si, a yamen that almost never showed up, was doing this job!

Before I knew it, it was late at night and Cao Bin fell asleep.

The nearby servant outside wanted to come in to see if the tea was cold, but saw Cao Bin lying on the table and sleeping loudly, so he found a blanket to cover him.

The next morning, Cao Bin washed up and rushed to the lobby to meet with the generals.

The generals had arrived early and were waiting there. After a greeting, Cao Bin asked everyone to sit down on both sides.

A general said: I saw the Daying Schoolyard outside the city, and there was not enough land. The officials of Jiangning Prefecture did not allow us to build it, and they also said that we would seize the land of the people!What should I do?

After hearing this, the generals cursed their mother and said, "Cao Bin had two black threads on his forehead." These martial artists were not as polite as civil servants.

Someone cursed: We have all captured the Southern Tang Kingdom. If we build a camp, why not let it be built?Whoever blocks and kills whoever!

Cao Bin said: If a civil unrest arouses, who will end it?There is nothing wrong with Jiangnan. Let’s fight a battle to combat the rebellion first?

At this moment, there was finally a general who knew what was right and what was wrong. The general clasped his fists and said: We can't control the officials of Jiangning Mansion, but if Cao Gong went to find Han Xizai, he might be able to help.

Someone immediately agreed: By the way, Han Xizai has great prestige in Jiangnan, and all officials respect him; Han Xizai has received the favor of the official family, otherwise he would be successful in serving as an official in Jiangnan we occupied!Cao Gong was the emperor's mission, and Han Xizai should give him some face.

After hearing this, everyone agreed.

Unexpectedly, Qianniu Beishi, who was accompanying the headquarters, said: It is better to find Chen Qiao than to find Han Xizai.

Huh?Cao Bin thought about it, and then asked about it.

Lu Duan said: Jiangnan scholars respected Han Xizai, but Han Xizai also had the will of Jiangnan people. This matter made him come forward, which made him feel embarrassed.Chen Qiao is different. This person has a bad relationship in the officialdom of Jiangnan, but he is a local official in Jiangnan and works as an official in Jiangning Prefecture.With his actions of protecting Lin Renzhao back then, as long as he knows the righteousness of the public, he will help Cao Gong deal with the matter well.

After hearing this, Cao Bin nodded and said, "See Chen Qiaotan's mouth first."
