sweeping the world

Chapter 892 Have Southerners Eat Your Rice?
Counting the dynasties in detail, the only one that can achieve the ultimate in mobilization is the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

After the Qin State became the Qin Empire, only the Qin land enjoyed the achievements of the past reforms, and the population registration and management system ensured the foundation of mobilization ability. The rest of the expanded territories were laid down later and the mobilization ability and management became worse.

The population of Zhuxia's dynasties has always been much larger than that of the surrounding areas, but a large population does not mean a high war potential, and even the national power cannot be used more than 30.00%.

The population at the end of the Ming Dynasty was about 5000 million to 6000 million, but the number of troops that could be called the Ming Army never exceeded one million. According to relevant data, it was 80, but in fact this data was very false, or even just data. At that time, the army There has been no combat power for a long time, and the real combat power is the so-called "family servant" of the generals.

According to the economic strength of the late Ming Dynasty, the payment that the center can receive accounts for less than [-]% of the total commercial output value.Therefore, it is really difficult to know whether the central government can maintain the state's shelf, or maintain the operation of the country under the current situation of internal and external troubles.

"From now on, we need to be prepared to fight big and tough battles." Liu Yan needs to be careful, and it is not certain that Constantius II and Shapur II will have a convulsion together one day, uniting more countries and Han Guo: "The absurd thing of the big man letting his horse go to Nanshan will never happen, and the training of soldiers in the village community cannot be absolutely stopped!"

Liu Yan kept repeating these words, the military officer listened very enthusiastically, and the civilian officer also knew that it was no small matter related to national defense.

Their generation has experienced the darkest moment, and everyone knows the importance of military strength.

After experiencing the tragedies of the Five Huddlers, everyone understands the tragic end of being unable to protect themselves. Guaranteeing national defense is also the common wish of officials and the people. That is why Liu Yan has been supporting militarism all along.

However, Liu Yan is not really militaristic, but often ignores people's livelihood.

"Perhaps it's time to get rid of the two parts and concentrate on dealing with Rouran, Xigaoche, and Donggaoche." Xu Zheng said that the two parts were Murong Remnant and Tuoba Remnant, who had been on and off all the time: "It also made them gasp. It's been long enough."

Ran Min immediately became interested: "If a decisive battle is launched, please be sure to make Min a general."

Liu Yan looked at Ran Min, just smiled, and seriously thought about whether Ran Min should finish the work.

It is hard to say how many real generals there are in the Han Dynasty. The Han army never relied on a certain general to ensure its combat effectiveness. It was strictly trained officers who supported the army's airs.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the structure of the Han army designed by Liu Yan, the commanders exist only as decision makers. Their greatest role is to coordinate the attack direction of the army, and the army will never fail due to the lack of excellent generals. will fight.

The contemporary Han army does not rely on the charm of a certain general to have high morale. Soldiers may not know what they should do, but officers are very clear about what duties they should perform.

If there is no general to lead the army, the army will become stiff and dull due to the lack of timely coordination by the commander. The offense may be insufficient, but the defense is definitely more than enough.

In the current Han army, the senior generals who can fight have a very clear background.

Taiwei was born in the north, General Hussars was also from the north, General Zhengbei and General Zhengdong were also from the north.

Generals Zhengnan and General Zhengxi are from the south, but they were awarded the rank of generals later, and they didn't have any sense of presence in the early battles.

Later, Liu Yan arranged for Xie An to go to the Western Regions and Huan Wen to go to the Asan Continent, mainly because he wanted these two generals from the south to have a sense of presence, which was also part of Yuxia's balance.

Not only the balance of the high-level, but also the army needs to be balanced. For example, most of the soldiers who went to the Asan Continent came from the south.

Balance is everywhere. As a ruler, you must be aware of how to ensure the balance. Otherwise, it will not be the "map gun" abuse between each other, and the mutual discrimination between the North and the South has evolved into a barrier between different regions.

Many times, a small seed planted because of not paying attention to balance may grow into a towering tree that overturns the balance and leads to the subjugation of the country.

For a very long time, the various dynasties of Zhuxia, because the main threat came from the relationship in the north, basically only the northerners personally participated in the war, and it was difficult for the war to have any direct relationship with most southerners.But the southerners are not without any contribution, that is, the resources paid by the southerners and produced are used for national defense.

Road constraints make it difficult for the southern army (including people) to appear on the battlefield where it should appear in a short period of time even if they are deliberately mobilized.

Many times the war was over before the southern troops even reached the battlefield.

The number of times like this was the most, and in the end the country did not easily mobilize troops from the south, but they were mobilized many times but were not used. The waste of military expenditure was on the one hand, and it also caused a great blow to production.

Either the southern army is still halfway, and the northern defense has been breached. The war is no longer fought on the border of the country, but in the hinterland.

It was dismantled!The geographical label was instantly weakened infinitely.Then the chief officers of each city must not be the southern military officers leading the team, or the city guards, or the northern generals who were temporarily transferred to familiarize themselves with the northern enemies. Whether they lost or won, the southern army cannot do without them anyway. A trick's life.

In history, there are not many examples of the southern army showing its might. The most famous but also tragic one is the Danyang soldiers under Li Ling who are dominated by Danyang people.

The same southern army was also full of tragedy. The Beiwei Army and the Qi Family Army were both full of filth and were wiped out by the national center.

So if you count it, you can really fight if you were born in the south. The key is that all three legions died at the hands of the court.

In the early wars of the Han Dynasty, the southerners had nothing to do. It was when Liu Yan and the Hus headed by the Jie tribe were fighting to the death, and the south of the Yangtze River was still under the rule of a small court.

The Han army fought the unification war in the sixth year of Yuanshuo. For a long time after the small imperial court was eliminated, the southern army was not used in the war with Tuoba Dai and Murong Yan.

At that time, the army in the south was either under the command of Huan Wen to sweep away the uncooperative families and tycoons, or they were fighting against the barbarians in the south.

Even now, there is actually no formed army from the South in Northern Xinjiang, and the troops that belong to the South are either in the Indochina Peninsula or transferred to the Asan Continent.

"This time, Huan Wen has shown his prestige in the Asan Continent." Xu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little sour. After counting, there are already two countries that have perished under Huan Wen's direct command, and they are not considered big booger countries: "One shot Four Tinghou, two Township and one County Marquis were captured, and there were as many as 24 conferred monarchs, which can be compared with Li Guangli's expedition to Dawan."

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, comparing Huan Wen and Li Guangli, is Xu Zheng slandering or cursing Huan Wen?
