I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Just as Shui Jing was thinking, Xie Wuyi said again: "Not only that, starting from spring of next year, Daluan will try out the military selection system in the whole territory."

Choose a soldier system?

Shui Jing frowned slightly, he always felt as if he saw these three words somewhere not long ago, after thinking about it again, he immediately asked in surprise: "Didn't you mention this in "Da Yu's New Law"?"

Xie Wuyi smiled wryly, nodded and said, "That's right, it's a pity that it was not implemented in Yu Country, but Da Luan was a step ahead."

The military system implemented in Daluan initially was the "conscription system", that is, eligible civilian households, once the males in the family reach the age, they must serve in the military. When there is no war, they will be organized into the standing army. In case of war, the service period will be extended until the end of the war.

This is exactly the military system that most countries are still using today.

However, Da Luang is an exception.

As early as seven years ago, Daluan changed the military system once, changing "conscription" to "recruitment".

The so-called "recruitment" refers to voluntary military service. Men of the right age are no longer forced to serve as in the past, but as long as they are voluntary, their families can be exempted from tax and corvee for one year.

This is equivalent to changing "coercion" to "incentive".

Once this system was changed, the military strength of Daluan Kingdom increased instead of decreasing, which is why Daluan was able to have several times the military strength of other countries in just a few years.

Not only that, the soldiers recruited by the recruitment system are all voluntary. Compared with those soldiers who were forced to join the army in the past, they are naturally more obedient and work harder, the military discipline is better than before, and there are very few deserters.

Naturally, other countries also know the benefits of the recruitment system, but the national treasury is not as full as that of Daluan. It is feasible to temporarily adopt the recruitment system of exchanging a year's tax in exchange for soldiers voluntarily joining the army when they are in urgent need of manpower. But over time, they will not bear such a huge burden. Sorry.

However, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once the conscription system is implemented, any attempt to switch back to the conscription system will inevitably lead to complaints, and countries dare not try it lightly.

However, now that all countries are still in the conscription system, Daluan has changed the military system again.

Changed "recruitment" to "selection".

The so-called "selection of soldiers" focuses on the word "selection". It is similar to "recruitment" and is also based on the premise of voluntary participation, but it is no longer that all comers are welcome, but is based on physical fitness, force, toughness and other conditions. Those who volunteered to join the army will be assessed and the best will be selected to join the army.

These selected persons are no longer exempted from taxation and corvee at home for one year, but from the time when the soldier served in the army, until he returns to his hometown after serving.

Daluan chose to try out the selection system at this time, and its intention is obvious. In terms of quantity, Daluan's soldiers and horses are already strong enough. Now they no longer seek "many", but instead seek "fine".

Once this system is implemented, it will not only reduce the burden of tax exemption, but also select soldiers who are truly capable of fighting and strengthen the army again.

At the same time, in order to meet the conditions, those who joined the army at the right age in Daluan Kingdom will inevitably strengthen their bodies spontaneously. If things go on like this, everyone in Daluan from the army to the civilians will be physically strong. Why not worry about the country becoming richer and stronger?

While thinking about it, Shui Jing turned her head to look at Xie Wuyi's complexion.

At the beginning, Xie Wuyi advocated the reform, but he was obstructed by the court, but now he saw Da Luan taking every step of the way, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.

Shui Jing said: "You are so depressed today because of this?"

Xie Wuyi shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "No, it is inevitable for Daluan to seek the way to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and it is not unexpected."

"Then what are you?" Shui Jing was puzzled.

Xie Wuyi looked at him and said, "Zhong Ling agreed to Da Luan's proposal to ask for protons, and will send protons to Luan soon."

Shui Jing is clear, the last time when he learned that Da Luan proposed to Zhong Ling, the court of Yu State was already in chaos, and now that Zhong Ling really agreed to send the son as a hostage, the courtiers must be even more panicked.

Once Zhong Ling sends the protons to Daluan, it means that Daluan will not attack Zhong Ling for the time being, and Lan Zhao is not easy to attack. Daluan's next attack is likely to be directed at Yu and Qizhong one.

Shui Jing asked: "What's the result of your discussion?"

Xie Wuyi looked at the ground in front of him and was silent for a moment, then said, "Father has decided to send troops to the north."

Yu is in the south and Daluan is in the north. If Daluan attacks, it must come from north to south. At this time, it is reasonable to send troops to the north to increase the garrison.

Shui Jing thought for a while and said, "There is nothing wrong with this decision."

Xie Wuyi nodded in approval.

Shui Jing smiled strangely: "Then why do you still have such a gloomy face?"

Xie Wuyi sighed softly, and said, "I want to go to the northern border in person, but my father forbids it."

Shui Jing thought for a while, and said: "Is this understandable? As the crown prince, if Daluan really comes to commit an offense, you can stay here...safer."

Hearing his brief pause, Xie Wuyi suddenly smiled wryly, then turned to look at him and said, "Master is trying to say that I can 'die later' if I stay behind?"

Shui Jing was speechless for a moment.

That's right, that's what he really thought just now, and he almost blurted it out, but when the words came to his lips, he turned a corner and changed his rhetoric temporarily.

The total number of soldiers and horses in Yu State is only 10,000+, which is very different from that of Daluan, and [-]% of them are infantry, which is at a disadvantage against cavalry. If the two countries really confront each other, the border collapse is probably only a matter of time, Daluan Sooner or later, iron cavalry will come to Yudu.

Xie Wuyi saw Shui Jing and didn't say a word, and he didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer. Seeing the bamboo in Shui Jing's hand, he asked, "Why did Master fold the bamboo?"

Hearing his question, Shui Jing also knew that he didn't intend to continue the topic just now, stood up, used the bamboo to hold a light sword flower, and said with a smile: "Get up, I will teach you sword skills from today on."

Xie Wuyi's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he was depressed before he glanced away, and asked, "What is Master going to teach me?"

Shui Jing said: "It's not 'one set', but a hodgepodge of countless sets of swordsmanship. Do you want to learn it?"

Xie Wuyi was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and said, "Study."

Seeing his reaction, Shui Jing smiled and said, "Are you really not afraid that I will teach you a bunch of useless bits and pieces?"

Xie Wuyi didn't care, and said with confidence: "Master said he was talking about a hodgepodge, but I think it must be the essence of the swordsmanship of different schools, after removing the chaff and saving the essence. I learn swordsmanship one by one, how can I follow the master directly?" Is it convenient to learn the essence?"

Xie Wuyi has already seen that there is no fixed number of moves in Shui Jing, but the moves are almost flawless. This must not be because he does what he wants, but because he is proficient in all kinds of swordsmanship, and he gets rid of the complicated and chooses the essence for his own use. .

"Tsk," Shui Jing couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "You really deserve to be my apprentice."

Over the past 1000 years, Shui Jing has seen almost all swordsmanship in the world, but most of the useful routines in swordsmanship are only one or two tricks.

Shui Jing simply eliminated those redundant and useless skills, leaving only the essence of each school. After being integrated and matched with each other, the effectiveness will not decrease but increase. It can be said to be more subtle than any set of swordsmanship.

Shui Jing said: "Draw out your sword, today I will teach you a few moves."

Xie Wuyi followed the good example, got up, took off his robe and threw it on the rockery, and drew his sword back from its sheath.

He had always worn this bone sword by his side, but it hadn't really been used since the day Shui Jing gave it to him. Now that it finally saw the light of day, Xie Wuyi almost couldn't wait.

Shui Jing's feet - stepped forward staggeredly, and demonstrated one move after another with the folded bamboo in his hand.

Although it is just a bamboo branch, it is like a magic weapon in Shui Jing's hands. Where the bamboo passes by, the wind sounds fierce and powerful. Xie Wuyi has no doubt that he can fight people with just this bamboo. Don't fall behind.

At the same time, Shui Jing's footsteps are constantly changing, his feet are staggered, moving back and forth, left and right, almost leaving afterimages.

Xie Wuyi was dazzled, but he was still trying hard to remember every posture and step.

After Shui Jing finished the demonstration, he took back the bamboo branch and said, "These are what we need to learn today, so let's start with the first trick."

As he spoke, he danced a bamboo branch and stroked lightly, then stood still and asked, "Do you see clearly?"

Xie Wuyi frowned, blinked and nodded, "I'll try."

Shui Jing gave the space in the middle to Wuzhi, stepped aside and watched with folded arms.

Xie Wuzhi walked to the center and stood still, first heaving a sigh of relief, and then raised his hand to try the strokes of the water mirror just now.

After finishing one move, Xie Wuyi learned it well, but Shui Jing always felt that there was something wrong, so he tilted his head and said, "Do it again."

Xie Wuyi did what he said.

Shui Jing finally saw the problem this time, he asked Xie Wuyi to do it again, and when Xie Wuyi raised his hand forward, he suddenly said: "Stop, don't move."

Xie Wuyi kept his right arm forward and stayed in place.

Shui Jing walked behind him, stretched his hand forward along his arm, held his right wrist and stretched it outward, and said: "The reason why this move can be used as a hand gesture is because its direction is tricky and unpredictable. People are hard to defend against, if you use your sword too straight, it will lose its original meaning, you know?"

At this time, Shui Jing was right behind Xie Wuyi, and his mouth was almost pressed against Xie Wuyi's ear. The warm breath brought out by his words scratched Xie Wuyi's ears slightly, and even the apex of his heart seemed to have passed through by warm water.

Xie Wuyi's heart beat faster, and his breathing was a bit messed up. Finally, after Shui Jing finished speaking, he took a deep breath to gather himself, and said, "Got it."

Shui Jing chuckled, stepped aside and said, "Continue."

Xie Wuyi continued as he said, and tried this trick again with the posture that Cai Shuijing had adjusted for him just now.

Shui Jing nodded in satisfaction, and said: "That's right, just practice more in the next few days, come, learn the next move."

In this way, Shui Jing demonstrated with folding bamboo, and Xie Wuyi held a bone sword to learn. It didn't take long for Shui Jing to go through all the content that Shui Jing wanted to teach today.

Shui Jing asked Xie Wuyi to connect these moves together. He watched from the sidelines and called to stop from time to time to guide Xie Wuyi to adjust his posture.

"Stop, the position of the foot is wrong, retract the front foot."

"Stop, raise your hands up, and then higher, um, okay, continue."

"Stop, stop and don't move."

The move Xie Wuyi is using now is a defensive move. He needs to lean up to avoid the opponent's blade, and use the sword edge in his hand to swing away the weapon stabbed by the opponent.

Xie Wuyi kept his body upright, Shui Jing walked to his side, held his right wrist with his right hand, started from the left side, drew an arc in the air and landed on the right side, and said while writing: "Look , the movement of the sword in your hand is just enough to swing the opponent's weapon aside, this swing must be fast, and there is no time for the opponent to react."

He let go of Jie Wuyi's wrist, and said again: "And since the purpose of leaning up is to dodge, how can you dodge by leaning up so much?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Xie Wuyi's chest lightly, saying, "Go down."

Xie Wuyi leaned back a few more points as he said, but Shui Jing was still not satisfied, saying: "Not enough, keep going."

Xie Wuyi held his breath, and tried to lean back a little bit, already feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Unexpectedly, Shui Jing still felt that it was not enough, frowned slightly, stretched out his left hand to rest on Zhizhi Wuyi's waist, and patted him lightly with his right hand on his stomach: "Continue."

Xie Wuyi originally managed to stabilize himself by hanging in his stomach with one breath, but now he was slapped by Shui Jing, his stomach itch, his breath broke down in an instant, and he fell back suddenly.

Fortunately, Shui Jing's arm was just behind his waist, and he quickly caught him with his eyesight and hands. After holding him steady, he was annoyed and funny: "Why, I asked you to lie back and lie down directly. Do you want my teacher to hold you and practice?" ?”

Xie Wuyi couldn't explain it, but felt that the hand on the waist was like a branding iron, which made his whole body stiff because of the heat through the cloth, and the redness from the neck to the forehead was like a scorching fire.

Conscription system: refers to the obligation of nationals under certain conditions to serve in the military. For example, some countries still require male citizens of the right age to serve in the military, and the service period varies.

Recruitment system: One of the military systems in ancient China, different from the mandatory conscription system, the recruitment system pays more attention to voluntary military service, and those who join the army will get corresponding rewards.

Selective military system: There is no such system in Chinese history. It is entirely the author's setting for this article. It is tantamount to raising the requirements of the military recruitment system. harsh assessment.
