There is no doubt that at the moment when the country is in short supply of population, hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged men return to the people is a great supplement to the people's population.

They were all disbanded to the people, went to grassroots villages to lead militias, worked as farming during busy farming, and led the strong men to train collectively during slack farming to train the strong men's military skills.

In the future, whether it is to explore the Western Regions, to attack the Xianbei in the north, or to go south to Jiaozhou, regular troops formed by militias from these places need to play their role.

Guo Peng partially referred to the systems of the Western Han Dynasty.

He designed that when there was no war, men across the country would have to serve two years of military service throughout their lives, one year in the capital and one year in the frontier. The state provided food and equipment, and spent the rest of their time living their daily lives in their hometown.

When the country needs it, it either counterattacks or expeditions. With an order, militias that have undergone regular military training can quickly mobilize and assemble into regular troops, and the country will equip them and all go to the battlefield.

The regular army that has always maintained its organization turns into officers, each leading a small army to form a powerful army unit.

In this way, when needed, the empire can pull up a powerful army of hundreds of thousands of people in minutes, but usually does not need to consume the large amount of resources needed to maintain such a large army.

The most important thing is to control the grassroots.

The military farm built by Mr. Guo was the basis for the Wei Empire to build a military and political system. The military farms and military farms directly controlled by the government are the foundation of everything.

With the current control of the grassroots of the Wei Empire, it is entirely possible to implement such a military service system. The recruitment system is a temporary demand, and the military service system is long-term.

As for the future, Guo Peng does not have much thoughts or confidence in the world after he dies.

Even if you die, you can't intervene or change it.

But when you are alive, you always have to do something that you can do.

Maintaining a large number of troops for a long time and carrying out the Song Dynasty model will cause the redundant soldiers to drag down the national finances. The number of troops that are more than 500,000 to go straight to 600,000 will become an unbearable weight in Guo's life after the country is fully pacified.

Such things are actually in progress.

If any of the Wei soldiers were injured and physically damaged, and if they were unable to continue fighting, or if they had no children at home to take care of their parents, they would retire as required.

Limb damage is also classified into levels. Limb damage is severely damaged, severely disabled or paralyzed, or the like, and the one who loses mobility can naturally only be raised. Of course, the family members still enjoy the treatment of military families and will not reduce their benefits.

The ability to retain basic action is different.

For example, if you are blind, deaf, and lose an arm, even if you are injured, you can retain your mobility, swing your knife, run and jump, and you will be arranged to work in the local area with normal retired people.

The official statement is to be converted to a reserve service. The meaning of a reserve service is not to let you leave the army, but to continue to be in the military system, have the identity of a soldier, and the family enjoys the treatment of military families.

However, your battlefield is in the grassroots villages in the local area, not in the border areas, and your task is not to kill the enemies, but to lead the training of the strong men in the farm where you are.

You settle down there and then serve as the "instructor" of your village. You work with the strong men during the busy farming period, and you are responsible for leading the strong men to practice military skills during the slack farming period.

They were trained to use knives, spears, practice military formations, practice bows and crossbows, and be familiar with the army's flag and horn sounds, which was to teach the basic skills of the Wei army to these strong men.

In this way, when the military service system is implemented in the near future, it will not be so abrupt.

It is really difficult to maintain a large-scale standing army for a long time, and it is difficult for Guo to support such a situation himself.

However, large-scale and powerful force is a must for maintaining the empire. It is not easy to find a balance point between the two. The Western Han Dynasty model is a good choice.

This pilot was first started in Qingzhou, where Guo Peng started his career.

After the policy had a good effect and gave the soldiers of the active-duty army great confidence, it began to implement it in Yanzhou and then expanded to Yuzhou and Jizhou.

There are not so many retired soldiers who can be arranged at the moment, so this system has not been determined at the national policy level, and then it has been scaled up. This system must be fully established.

This will further enhance Guo Peng's control over local grassroots units and further expand Guo's power.

Mr. Guo needs more and more power, and it needs enough power to clean up those guys.

Not enough is there now, not strong enough!

With the successful pilot projects in these four states, Guo Peng was relieved to carry out the first wave of large-scale disarmament in Jingzhou.

With previous experience, this wave of disarmament in Jingzhou was quite successful. Jiangxia County and Jingnan County had a large amount of abandoned and fertile land, which was just right for these more than 30,000 strong men to develop.

Guo Peng sent officials from the General Staff and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to Jingzhou to assist in the handling.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is mainly responsible for guiding and supervising the local government to provide land, and then organizing oxen, farm tools, seeds and houses to soldiers to help them get married and start businesses in the local area.

The officials also became collective mistresses and had a large-scale blind date in the army, and arranged all the orphans who were displaced due to war.

The General Staff Department is responsible for guiding these soldiers to hold "instructor" positions in the village where they are located.

Instruct them on how to lead local strong men to farm in farming, practice in their spare time, and defend themselves when necessary, and persist until the arrival of the regular army.

Generally speaking, a village will send two to three retired military soldiers to serve as instructors based on the number of people. Since these military soldiers can learn to read, they can also help village chiefs and other grassroots officials to lead farmers to read to read together.

Overall, this policy was implemented very successfully and effectively, and was implemented among the five counties of Jingzhou. No one interfered, and Jingzhou officials were relatively obedient to Guo Peng's orders.

Perhaps the previous Cui Qu case brought considerable shock to the officialdom of the Wei Empire. The aftermath had not dissipated, and local governments dared not act rashly.

I was afraid of becoming the emperor's next target.

Especially the reason why Jingzhou officials generally have a low status and surrender soon after they surrender.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that the interests of Jingzhou were divided, and Guo and the locals in Jingzhou reached a compromise.

Mr. Guo has control over the four counties of Jiangxia County and Jingnan, and turns a blind eye to the richest and most populous Nanyang County and Nan County.

On the surface, tax collections are collected, but in fact, they are still their private parks and private kingdoms. There are not many self-cultivated farmers under the government management, and there are many highly autonomous manors and forts.

These two counties continue to maintain the Eastern Han model, so no one can disturb each other.

The reason why Mr. Guo can maintain the current situation is also thanks to this model.

This time, the locals in Jingzhou made great efforts to develop the four counties in Jingnan, and paid money and supplies to assist Zhu Ling in transporting supplies. Therefore, Guo gave those who contributed a lot of rewards and some political benefits.

This is a good thing. You are aware of your appearance and stay honestly. You can enjoy it for a while. If you insist on jumping up and going against me now, wouldn’t that be dead?

Who do you beat if you don’t beat me?

Right, Cui Yan?

Mr. Guo's heart was filled with a joking feeling.

The problem in Jingzhou was basically settled from March to July of the third year of Yande. In about four months, the disarmament was completed. Zhu Ling led an elite force to continue to take charge of Jiangling.

While shocking the villains, he led his army to take on some of the responsibilities of repairing the road, and also shouldered the responsibilities of the general reserve team.

No matter who needs help from Zhang Liao or Le Jin, he will send troops to help.

In the future, it is more convenient for him to go south from here directly.

Among the four prefectures in Jiangnan, Jingzhou was the fastest to pacify, saving Guo a lot of money, but Yangzhou and Yizhou were not that fast, let alone Jiaozhou, which Guo promised not to get involved for three years.

OK, that's the timetable.

Within three years, Yangzhou and Yizhou were completely stabilized, and they could continue to advance southward and expose the true power of Wei into Jiaozhou. By then, Zhang Jin could not speak out.

Before the Little Ice Age completely arrived, at least the Jiangnan land must be initially developed, and the Grand Canal project must be calculated to prepare for planning.

Within twenty years, the Grand Canal will inevitably play an unexpected role.

Whether the Wei Empire can withstand this wave of small ice river depends on whether its preparations are complete.

As expected, Mr. Guo is sure, so no matter what, Jiangnan must develop!

arrange!
Chapter completed!
