Chapter 943 The Secret of the Five Armies

Yangmin Mansion, a few days of leisure.

Previously, Wu Yi refused to go with Wang Xinyuan and others on the pretext that he had important matters in his hometown, but in the past few days, Wu Yi did not really leave, but changed his identity and continued to wander around the city and observe.

Wu Yi's main purpose in the past few days was to verify what Wang Xinyuan said from various angles, and even took great risks to sneak into the government office of Yangmin Mansion to obtain information from the people around Liu Bingzhong.

Too few sources of information will affect the probability of successful decision-making, so Wu Yi would rather delay for a few days than act impulsively. After all, the plan is very big and involves civil unrest, so he has to be cautious.

In the end, Wu Yi's comprehensive results are not completely consistent with what Wang Xinyuan said. After all, the information Wang Xinyuan obtained is likely to be third or fourth hand, not to mention second-hand. Every time the information goes through a round, it is likely to change, lose value, or even reverse guidance.

In the past few days, Wu Yi's biggest gain should be a sentence he accidentally heard from the book boy beside Liu Bingzhong, that the court is preparing to use troops in Beijun in order to unify the world and unite the four seas.

The Daji Dynasty almost occupies the entire Western Land of the Upper Realm, and the human destiny is continuous, like a raging fire, and the strength of destiny is not inferior to those great sects that have inherited hundreds of disasters.

The current military system of the Daji Dynasty is balanced between the inside and the outside. It is divided into five armies, four armies guarding the four sides of the dynasty, one army of 1.25 million people, and the central army guarding the center, with a huge number of 5 million people! The strength of the four border armies is equivalent to that of the center.

In this way, the center is strong and the border is weak, and the strong trunk is weak. On the one hand, through the convenient highway, it is guaranteed that even if there is a rebellion on the border, there is enough power to suppress it; on the other hand, if there is a change inside, then closing the city gates, clearing the fields, waiting for the four parties to come to the king, can also suppress the internal rebellion.

In addition, recruiting, training, mobilizing, leading troops, logistics, etc. are all separated on weekdays to ensure that there will be no self-respecting people with troops inside. Once something happens, a special commander's account will be set up to dispatch all parties to avoid the order from all directions, and the difference between the upper and lower levels, so as to achieve the concentration of power.

When the war stops, the general's tent will be withdrawn, and the troops from all directions will go back to where they came from!

The Daji Dynasty nominally has five armies, and the system also sets the number of troops. At the beginning of the dynasty, this setting is good, because the dynasty originated in the central part of the continent, a place of four wars, so naturally there must be four armies to deal with the enemies from all directions.

However, as the dynasty expanded, enemies were wiped out one by one, and the Daji Dynasty was about to complete the historical process of unifying the continent.

Now, it can be said that among the five armies, except for the North Army and the Central Army, the other three armies are not worthy of their names. Not to mention daily training, it is rare to have 30% of the actual establishment in the army.

As for the reason, in a nutshell: the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked! The Daji Dynasty has completed the unification of the east, west, and south, so what else does the army do!

The three sides are said to be completely unified, but on the surface, it is not, because under the deliberate connivance of the three major fronts, the east, west, and south sides still retain a country respectively, which is the power of the previous dynasty that has not been eliminated.

However, these countries, which are struggling to survive and are unable to control their own finances and the selection of officials, are just colonies of the Great Ji Dynasty. How can they be opponents of the Great Ji Dynasty? They are kept for no other reason, but only to maintain the skin of the five-army system.

Almost everyone in the Great Ji Dynasty knows this, and the kings of each generation also understand it, but even those emperors who have left their names in history have not started to reform.

One very important point is that if there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, the army is a good place to absorb the unemployed and refugees in the country. In addition, even if it is just a skin, no one dares to provoke it before it completely loses its claws, and once it wants to be used, there is a foundation to use.

It's ridiculous that the army, which was originally used to defend against humiliation, has become a guarantee for the bottom line of society. Because of this, the army is despised by the people. Good men don't serve in the army, and good iron doesn't make nails.

But the final result of the army that has lost its greatest value is like this.

At present, the three major fronts of the East, West and South basically have the same duties as the police, which are used to maintain internal stability.

The north is different from the east, west and south.

The North Army is always fully staffed, and it also has a large number of reserve troops. Chen Yan, the original owner of Wu Yi's body, is actually one of the reserve troops of the North Army. In Beijun, it can almost be said that the compulsory military service system has been implemented. All young people over the age of 16 must be registered.

There are several highways from the central government to Beijun. Once the north is in trouble, the assistance from the entire empire will come like a tide.

The reason is not difficult to imagine. What the North Army has to face is not an embroidered pillow, but a real enemy.

Since the inheritance of human civilization in the Western Land of the Upper Realm, this area in the north of the continent has occupied about 3% to 5% of the area of ​​the continent. The terrain is high and cold, steep and difficult to cross.

This area has never been integrated into the empire. The Great Ji Dynasty is like this, and so are the other major dynasties. There have always been two civilizations and two systems that run parallel.

In other areas, if a war breaks out, there is always a saying since ancient times, but here, historians have searched the scriptures and cannot find a saying.

Because of the high terrain, there are not many entrances to the plateau, which is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack. The area is not large, and the population is not large, which is not comparable to the plains at all, but there are a series of mountain basins inside, which is self-sufficient.

Of course, the premise of self-sufficiency is that there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters. Once a disaster occurs, the neighbor to the north will like to go south to rob, just like a raging wildfire, without caring about vitality, and will rob everything they see, and burn everything they can't rob.

If there is a dispute in the southern empire, it will be a good opportunity for them. When the scenery is at its peak, half of the entire continent is their sphere of influence.

In short, over the years, the contradictions between the two sides have accumulated, and the hatred between the two sides has not been cut off, extending across several empires.

If the news of the northern neighbor going south is heard, there will be no talk of peace talks in the court, and it will be spit to death.

When the Daji Dynasty was at its strongest, it almost forced the northern barbarians to the corner of the sea, within a small area of ​​less than 300 kilometers.

However, due to the internal turmoil at that time, it was a great pity that it did not succeed in one battle.

Beijun is the front line, of course it is not the only front line, but in all the battles against the Northern Tartars, it was the place where the Northern Army’s generals set up their tents, so the location is extremely important.

Although Wu Yi learned about the news that the people in the court wanted to use troops in the Northern Tartars from a book boy, he did not doubt it.

In fact, no matter who is in the position of power in the court, they all dream of solving the problem of the Northern Tartars. This is a major event that will bring disaster to the present and benefit future generations.
