Section 2273: Militia

What these people are born to do is to reimburse their own empire, and all their abilities are done because of the affairs of the empire. Now if they are asked to stop doing these things one by one, how can this be justified? None of them are fools, and they all feel that this matter must have a good result. Just like now, they all feel the threat of Cao's firm. This kind of threat is not what it used to be. This kind of relatively small threat, some powerful officials are not so serious. Now this kind of threat has made them all feel a little helpless. They are all very aware of this problem, but what can they do now? Not only was the economy of the entire empire controlled by others, but with the defeat of the Third Army by Cao's firm this time, they began to master some military affairs again. Many scholars in this era may not only study, they are They have many other skills, especially they know a lot about military matters, and many people have very high attainments in this area. They have all carefully observed the garrison of Cao's House Well, when they were training, these people went up to observe and emulate, and finally came to a terrible conclusion, that is, these people's abilities are very powerful, and it is difficult to find some troops that can match them. It is not an easy task. These people can feel that the tens of thousands of troops in a county are definitely not their opponents. Some people also said, don’t we have city walls? The dozens of them in the city can't do it at all. There are millions of people in the whole process, why can't they solve the dozens of them? This is also not very correct. The people in Cao’s House have powerful artillery. I guess these people are very clear about how powerful that thing is. Just like the large-caliber artillery, the people from the Four Empires They call them Vulcan things, such things can open the gates of the city with one shot, then how can those who only bully the common people think of defending, what they have to do is to hurry up and kill themselves Keep it, something like defending the country. It was just a joke. But no one would care about this matter, and everyone is not a fool, let others do such a thing, anyway, I would not do such a thing. That is because of their thinking. It is these people of insight who feel that relying on them is not enough. So they talked about this matter with some big nobles and big bureaucrats in private, and there was also the magician's union, and they were going to form a militia. This thing is a militia organization, the main purpose is to help the government army fight against the enemy when the army of the Cao family firm attacks, and it can be regarded as a supplement to force. These big capitalists will soon see When it comes to one of the huge powers, if you have soldiers under your command, then you will have a lot more power to speak in the future. Yes, this matter can be done, let these people go out to stir up this matter, and we will come out Money, but we absolutely cannot stand at the front desk. The people standing at the front desk must be these scholars. They all know these things. With them in front, we will save a lot of trouble. Failure to pass is still a very important issue, but we don’t need to worry, these people will have a solution, and the court will consider their identities more when they do things. People with fame and fame are no better than us businessmen. They don't have face or anything like that. They must have done a good job.

Even the people of Cao's House of Commerce didn't expect that they would have such brains, they would even think of such things as militias.

They didn't say anything later, because they all felt that this thing would only make the situation more chaotic. If the society remains unchanged, let the people of Cao's House of Commerce slowly push the wheel of history, This seems to be a bit slow, and the effect may not be very good, but it is completely different to let these practitioners do this thing. Whether these people do things or do other things, they are considered Very good, many ordinary people will support them when they come forward, sometimes because of the bad reputation of officials, the ordinary people who come out to talk a lot don't believe it very much, in their opinion, these officials are one by one It’s already full of bad water. When they do things, they don’t look at this. They all want to look at other things. Their minds are full of useless things. These people do things Whether it's doing other things, the first thing I think about is not the interests of the empire, nor the affairs of the common people. It's all in their own pockets. Will there be income? How can such an official have the support of the people? It is for this reason that these Juren masters will become better. These ordinary people feel that these Juren masters have read sage books, and they do not have a bad reputation. If they become officials of the empire It must be better than these, why don't they think about it, if those officials hadn't gained fame because of reading sage books, how could they have become officials? It is impossible for the empire to just go to the street to find someone It is impossible for someone to become an official. This is the alternation of generations. These officials lived a clean life when they were not officials. At that time, their minds were full of reimbursement to the empire. Things like that, but now let them think about those bold words at that time, each and every one of them must feel that there is something wrong with their brains, otherwise, how could they say so many things that are not thoughtful? The first thing to consider now is your own problems. If you are an official now, if you can't leave some wealth to future generations, then your family will slowly disappear in the long river of history. It is a very serious conflict for the forces, and they will never allow such a thing to come out. It is very good in name, for the sake of the empire. We are all for the empire every day, but we are also doing some things to fight for power and profit. This militia may be very good at the beginning, but it may be different after a period of time. At that time, the leaders in it also They will all have their own selfishness. After they master the militia, they will want to master more things. At that time, they will conflict with the current powerful group. How can they let their opponents get so much? What about the forces? This is simply an act of courting death, but His Majesty the Emperor has another consideration, no matter how hard these people are. Anyway, it is to strengthen my empire. Now the army cannot continue to expand, and the huge military expenditure will crush them to death every year, so this militia can appear, and they can have some tasks of their own. As long as it is not good for Cao's business. Anything is possible. The game between local officials and the central group began at this time, and the militia was the fuse.

Local officials thought such an event was simply impossible for them to start. If this kind of thing continues, at least one-third of the rights in their hands will be lost. How could they allow such a thing to happen? It is better to be honest about such a thing, so all local officials basically They are not very optimistic about this militia. Of course, their excuses are basically the same. They think that it is impossible for the militia to be formal, because the government does not give them funds, and their money is made by these activists themselves. Such words are difficult to control. Don’t bring them up in the future. There are many problems on your side. This kind of thing also makes them feel very helpless. At the beginning, the central government of the imperial court tried its best Those who support this militia think that ordinary people can spend a few hours a day and don't need to pay much attention to the rest. This is definitely a big deal. Of course, the central group also clearly knows these militias It is impossible for these people to have such strong combat effectiveness, so the central government treats these people as cannon fodder. As long as there is a war, it is okay to let them go up for a while, even if they stand there and are killed by Cao's army It would take several hours to kill, but I really didn't think about the other things. The military representatives in the imperial court didn't agree with this matter very much. They thought that such a militia could be formed during the war, because they There will be a common enemy, and the members of the militia are also bloody. If they feel the threat of the enemy to them, these people will fight against the same enemy. At least there will not be so many problems in society, but now It is a time of peace, and according to the information they have received from the Cao’s House of Commerce, there will be no accidents in the Cao’s House of Commerce in the near future. This is the opinion of the army. If the militia demands the same treatment as the regular army, this matter can It's really not easy to handle, the empire can't afford the money, don't let them all turn into people who have milk and mothers in the end, it will be really troublesome now, sometimes these things They all need to be considered. At the beginning, the high-level officials of the imperial court were very excited, and they wished to approve this immediately, but the opinions of many people also calmed them down. If this matter really increases, it will be the empire’s The strength is easy to say, but if some ambitious people run the militia in the end, it will not be a good thing. At that time, let alone Cao's firm, even these people themselves may not be able to do anything to them Yes, it is absolutely possible to make a big tail in the end, so it is better not to do this now, but it has to be done. Strengthening one's military capabilities is also something that people in the four major empires should do now. In the end, a member of the royal family of the Eastern Empire expressed his own opinion. He believed that the members of the royal family should at least be reliable, and none of them wanted the empire to collapse, so the emperor should send some outstanding members of the royal family to various places. Go, strengthen the construction of the militia, they can be the head of the militia in name, of course, because they don't know much about the military, so they can only be a name, and they can find some abilities from the army Strong people can serve as instructors of the militia and so on. If this is the case, it can be done better. Such things should be very good.

Needless to say, this kind of thing really made many people seem to see hope, but His Majesty the Emperor himself is a little bit unbearable. Of course, members of the royal family are loyal to the empire, and there is no need to consider this. Because they are the biggest parasites on the empire. If there is any problem in the empire, their life will definitely not be easy. It is impossible to live such a comfortable life in the future, and they will come out at this time Another question is that members of the royal family are good at doing things, but their ambitions are not small. If because of the expansion of the power of their subordinates, they don't want to continue to be the leader of the militia. What should we do? These damned guys are all sons and grandsons of dragons. If these people really want to do things, they will have a lot of things. At that time, his throne may not be able to be kept, and such things may happen. As for the people of Cao's House, they are watching this joke cheerfully. In fact, Li Wei said this matter early on. This is definitely a failure. The barrel of the gun must be held in his own hands. If the emperor can't do this, he will definitely fail in the future. If you hold it in your own hands, you need to pay for it. Besides, the hearts of these giants are not all what they said, they are all for the empire, and they all have their own ideas. The family behind it is not small. When these people do things, they will also consider the affairs of their own family, especially in their local area. The family is already very large. At this time, there is a militia With the help, the idea of ​​ceding the land and making the king may be thought of. At that time, the empire will become torn apart. Of course, this will only appear when it is the most important. If it is not important, it will be like this It is entirely possible that the situation will not happen. These people's thoughts are very meticulous, and they are very clear in how they handle things. Everything they do is planned for themselves. Some high-level executives of a commercial firm said that we don’t need to go in and destroy this matter at all, just look at these people’s own thoughts. They all have some strange ideas. When they all say it, it is estimated that That is to say, when the militia fails, the army needs a strong discipline, not to mention the militia, even the regular armies of the four empires do not have such discipline, and sometimes these people can only look like this Well, when doing other things in the end, it will also bring huge disasters to the people. At that time, it will be a cancer. The most fearful thing is that the people of the four empires can run this militia well, so Cao Cao Commercial firms are absolutely not allowed to seek trouble in the near future. Some armies all collapsed in peacetime, and may become trump card opponents in wartime. Therefore, we will not give you this opportunity. In the end, discuss The militia that has been around for half a month first started in the territory of the Eastern Empire. Juren in the Eastern Empire can form a militia with about 300 members by themselves. The members of the royal family stationed in this province are directly leading them. Basically, they are people with titles, and the Eastern Empire will not let them do anything wrong. There will be a big competition every year, and the winner can become the new deputy commander. Another thing is that the title of the royal family member can be promoted. of.

As I said before, it can be said that members of the royal family don't care much about general rewards. For ordinary people, money and power are what they need most, but for members of the royal family, this is nothing. Take the third-class light car captain with the lowest rank as an example. This is the lowest rank in the royal family. Generally, members of the royal family have such titles. Their rank is already the third rank. The envoy and the tax department are of the same level. For a legitimate third-rank official, the annual salary of an ordinary third-rank official is 15,000 taels of silver. Counting other incomes, there will be about 50,000 taels of silver per year. Of course, for those members of the royal family, this is just a few days of expenses. They are all sons and grandsons of the dragon. They live on their salary, so these things are not what they are after, but what they are after is a higher level of their title. This is a completely different thing. For example, if an earl is promoted to a marquis, then his The eldest son will still be an earl, and the other sons will also be viscounts, not the current baron. This is related to future generations, so each of these people is very caring, besides Well, the Eastern Empire's implementation of such a policy is much better than that of the other three empires. The royal family members of the other three empires were all confined in the capital. They can't go out. These people have no way to go out in normal times. What these people yearn for is to go out and see the outside world, but His Majesty the Emperor feels that if these people are released, It will be very sad in the future. Looking at them, you can tell that these people will not do these things in peace. Sometimes these people are also very dangerous. To the empire, they are all the same , but it is not the same for the emperor, the Eastern Empire has already adapted to this way. The rebellion of the Linghu family had caused the emperor of the Eastern Empire to carry out royal reforms. One by one, the children of the royal family have become some local officials in various places. It can be said that they are doing very well. These people are all for their own titles, but they are also very impressive. Don’t look at them in normal times. It's a fool's errand. But how could the sons and grandsons of dragons be able to do nothing? The reason why they didn't do it in the past was because they didn't have something that attracted them. It's not the same now as before. What they are doing now is very diligent, and their titles will be improved. In the future, many people will flatter them. It is estimated that anyone would be willing to change this kind of thing. They have fought for their titles all their lives, but the other three empires did not go so smoothly. First of all, the Southern Empire did not plan to form any militia. Well, they are all under the control of Cao's firm. In other empires, a county is a company's army, but here they are a regiment, which is four or five times that of others. Their own local army can say a little bit. It has no effect. Now the Southern Empire is just like a vassal of Cao's house. They don't know why it changed so quickly, and they don't want to become like this. In the past, they still had some sovereignty. , but now it is a pity that there is nothing left. The people of Cao's House of Commerce will not let them have so many rights. The people of Cao's House of Trade simply want to control them all.

People from the Northern Empire and the Western Empire had two situations. I didn’t expect that just after the quarrel between the local government and the central government, the royal families in the two empires started to quarrel again. Generally speaking, the emperor’s son and grandson It can be said to be the royal family, but other royal families will be called the clan. There is still a big difference between the royal family and the clan. Although they are all descendants of the dragon, it is like the direct line of a rich family. It's the same as the collateral lineage, the other clans are like concubines, the descendant will have the throne after birth, and the concubine will only be given a title, as for other things, it is impossible. Many people feel uncomfortable about this kind of thing. At the beginning, the concubines didn't feel anything, but it's different now. Why can their direct descendants inherit the throne, but we can't? How can this be? Are we farther than them in blood? No, the main reason is that my background is not as good as theirs. This is the need of Confucian education. This education will always tell those concubines how important it is to be a concubine and concubine. They are all depressed about such things To die, the emperor is also very guarded against the clan. Although everyone belongs to the same ancestor, at least we don't know what is going on in your mind. Who knows if you will just make such a fuss? If that's the case, we really don't know what to do with you. This time, we have given them a chance, and at the same time, the emperor is also a test for the clan, as you can see from the people of the Western Empire. The militias in the country raise their own salaries. It would be easier to set up in a place with a developed economy, but if they go to a place that is not so good, the salary will not be very good. In the end, it will be If it directly affects their performance, it depends on what you do at this time. If you want a good title, you will definitely pay the money yourself. Of course, if you don’t pay the money yourself, you can pay the money yourself. It's a very good thing to get it, but what I'm afraid of is the kind that doesn't do anything. Anyway, this matter has not started yet, and there is already a lot of conflicts. His Majesty even wants to I want to suspend this matter. I didn't expect that the princes all over the place would not want it just after I revealed this tone. They finally got this opportunity, and they all need to give their concubine sons some opportunities. In fact, the sons of the princes' sons can get the title of marquis or even duke, but the sons of the princes are at most an earl. It is even impossible to get this. Their sons have this opportunity. As long as they go out and hang out for a while, they can basically improve their titles. Mixing is also much better than before, it depends on how to operate this matter, although it is difficult, but it can be very good anyway, now His Majesty the Emperor will put our Hope it gets dropped. Isn't this a little too cruel? You know we are all ready to do this. Just because you abolished this matter with one sentence, it is estimated that no one will agree, and neither will others.

The emperors of the Western Empire and the Northern Empire cannot all do things according to their own wishes at this time, which is simply forcing them to come. I have never seen such a concerted effort by the clan kings. At this time, they all felt that this matter was not that simple. The conspiracy in this militia is really too big. They all think that this was done by the people of Cao's House of Commerce, if Li Cong knew that they would miss him so much. I will definitely run out vigorously and Han will be wronged, because this matter has nothing to do with me at all. I really don’t know what to say. This is obviously something that some people in your empire think of. Those who are well intentioned also want to help the empire truly embark on the road of prosperity and strength. Who knows that all of you are a group of people who don't know how to do things. After doing such a thing, you have no other choice but to say hard There is a way, if you don’t give this life to these royal children, this situation will not happen. Of course, the ordinary people probably won’t believe it even more. There is no way to deal with the people in the Northern Empire. People in the Eastern Empire have already started to implement it, and according to the news sent back from there, the militia organizations in the Eastern Empire already have more than hundreds of millions of people. It is used by the regular army, but more or less of them can be used as reserves during the war. There is no need to arrest the strong men when the war is very tragic. Not only is the reputation not very good, but the combat effectiveness of the captured soldiers is also It's not very good, they still feel that such a thing is okay, besides, why is the Eastern Empire stronger than us? It is because they are good at accepting some new things. This is the case at the moment. If my own place can't keep up with others, it may be even more backward. The offshore development is a good example. Look at the present Almost everything in the Eastern Empire is much stronger than them. If you really want to resist, you need several empires to unite. They are also the emperors of the empire, and so are themselves. At the time of the ancestors, everyone was basically on the same level. Yes, why is he a local tyrant now, and he is still a **** emperor here? After figuring out these things, these people know what they should do one by one, and catch up. Of course, it is better to assign places to those who I trust more, and those who don't believe in it just forget it. Moreover, a referee group was selected from some juren. They are responsible for scoring these princes, to see who among them is really useful to the empire. This referee group is directly responsible for the emperor. You don’t need to listen to it. It can be said that the referee group in the city is the most useful thing in the militia. If it was impossible in the past, they, who are emperors, can be regarded as breaking out of the encirclement. The siege of those ministers, the ministers told them what they knew about the world in the past, now there is another channel, these people can also talk about this matter, the people are really sorry for the rights they have obtained I am very happy, but those ministers are not very willing. How could such a thing happen? I really don’t know how these people planned it. In the end, it turned out that they, those with vested interests, were the ones who suffered. Very normal big thing.

In fact, every change in history is at the expense of those with vested interests. If you want to change, you must share a part of the rights. This is a cake for others. If you want these people to do things for you, then do It is necessary to satisfy other people's desires. If you can't even satisfy this, this matter will not be very good. First let the officials have enough to eat before they can do other things. For their decision Cao's House didn't say anything. Li Wei just wanted the people in the intelligence department to pay attention to this matter. After the last joint operation, it can be said that Li Wei's current prestige is ranked behind Li Cong, but this guy is still too good, although his This age is already a seventh-level Sorcerer's Stone. It can be said that many people are very envious, and it is clear that this person is an absolute genius, but there is still a big gap with those monsters, but Add time. This person will definitely be very good. Now the power of Cao's House is basically in the hands of this guy, and Wu Zuoxi and others are willing to assist such a talented person. In their opinion, it is a good thing that Li Cong has fewer descendants. . This is if there are many brothers. In the future, the separation of the family will bring huge losses to the people of Cao's House. This is better, at least it will save a lot of things, and the matter of the militia is actually a good opportunity for the people of Cao's House. As mentioned above, as long as it is a case, anyone with a wealthy family can create a militia. There are also many such people under Cao's Commercial Bank. They have developed in society for so many years, but the Cao's Commercial Bank's actions Their family backgrounds are considered average, and it is impossible to ask them to pay for the organization of the militia. The experts of the Cao's Commercial Firm have made a lot of calculations on this matter. Generally speaking, a county must have at least more than There are more than 1,000 people in the militia, and this is more than 1,000 people. They need money to eat, drink, and scatter. Although there is no way to compare with the regular army, they must at least have the necessary weapons and equipment. To form a militia, people need to do it themselves. Even if the empire gives the simplest equipment price, one person still needs nearly ten taels of silver. This is the price of ordinary infantry. According to the order of the imperial court, a county There must be at least one hundred cavalry, and the rest must have two hundred archers, and the rest are all infantry. I didn't pay much attention to the archers before, but it's different now. These bows and arrows The hands are now like treasures, because they are the only ones that can be used when fighting against the people of Cao's House, and because of this, the training of archers must not be relaxed. They are all practiced one by one. It is absolutely impossible to be born with it. 20,000 taels, as well as their training and accommodation. The total fixed cost is about 50,000 taels. Of course, they have to pay when they come. The money has to be given, if it is less than this amount, then there must be no one going, this year is 12,000 taels of silver, of course, the cavalry must be a little more than this, for them, This kind of thing happens quite often. Generally, a large family in a king city has a family property of one hundred thousand silver, which is considered big. Generally, it is only a few hundred thousand silver.

It is absolutely impossible for them to spend 200,000 taels of silver every year to support such a militia. They will pay out this money, but if they find that this thing has no effect at all, then I don’t know if they will pay this money again. These people are not fools, and they will not do such a thing Yes, no one thinks that they have a lot of money in their hands, and it is impossible to take it out and spend it everywhere. The people from Cao's Commercial Bank appeared at this time. In fact, we can help you with the money in your family. Of course, in the future, the people of Cao's Commercial Bank will have to help you do things. If you don't help, we will not do this matter in the future. Everything needs to be calculated slowly. The people in the big crew are actually very opposed to this militia. For them, political struggles are not something they can participate in. Although the militia can make them stronger, they really don’t have much for this thing now. They don’t want to do these things, but when they think of their own family, there are people who raise people. This is the same as persuading donations. It’s just that it’s more upright. Doesn’t it mean that scholars are patriotic? , Why do you ask you to pay a little money and not pay it? If it was in the past, it would definitely be pulled out to handle errands. These people will put a hat on you. There is no way they can only accept the help of Cao's house Well, the money was paid by people from Cao’s House, and those who went to the militia to take charge of it were also people from Cao’s House. This part of the people was called traitors. Many people knew about it and didn’t say anything about it. It’s happening everywhere. Yes, if the people of Cao's House of Business think about it, they don't seem to have any good fruit to eat, and they have already seen the weakness of the government this time. It won't do any good, the empire is now in a weak state, and they don't have much strength to do things. Now they are not very aggressive about the Cao's business, as long as it doesn't threaten them. They don't know how to do it, and they don't know how to take care of it. In the end, they can only watch these things honestly. The people of Cao's firm account for at least 10% of the militia in the Western Empire and the Northern Empire. Ten, this matter is not easy to do. He is too much. After all, the emperors of the two empires are also watching these things. The intelligence organizations of the two empires also quickly got the news, and then sent it to the capital. It's the same as what they think, and those people won't say much, how to do this? Go up and argue with the people from Cao's House for a while? They don't have the courage. If this really breaks out, it will be another war. Who will fight at that time? I was defeated just now, so how could I start messing around because of such a small problem? Besides, now is a time to work hard to develop, and there must be no fighting. What's too much, that's just 10%, just let these royal family members get the 10% out slowly, anyway, it's a very easy thing for them, it's just that When I thought about it, it was good, but if I actually did it, I would... (to be continued...)
