Chapter 2398 Take a balance
When the sunset was hanging in the sky, Mi Heng was preparing to go home in a donkey cart.
If you compare the current means of transportation of the Han Dynasty with the later generations, then owning a horse is equivalent to owning a personal vehicle in the later generations. In the later generations, private vehicles need to pay vehicle and boat tax, road maintenance fee, annual inspection fee, maintenance from time to time, refueling every now and then, and the cost is not small. The same is true for Han Dynasty horses.
Mi Heng has a great reputation, but he doesn't have much money, and he can't save any money, so he can only take taxis when he goes out, and he can't use high-end taxis, only donkey carts.
cheapest.
But even in the cheapest donkey cart, Mi Heng sat upright, just like sitting in a high-end canopy cart.
In Sansuke Fields, besides the laboring farmers and women, there are also some prisoners of war who were captured. These people are basically shackled, their faces are numb, and every step they take, the iron chains under their feet There was a clattering sound.
You Heng does not pity these people. Although sometimes you have a lot of sympathy, it does not mean that your sympathy will be used on these prisoners of war slaves.
The big man still has a part of the slavery system. These prisoner-of-war slaves who can plow the fields are relatively lucky. At least they plow the fields without any danger to their lives. Those who don't understand anything, neither Those who are not good at handicrafts and animal husbandry, and only have benzene strength, will be dispatched to the mines.
Every year, some of these slaves will die silently, and individual slaves will escape from the sea of suffering and become so-called Dahan residents, the kind of residents holding green cards. To become a real Dahan citizen, you must Only in exchange for military merit.
At least under Hussar rule, this is the case.
This is the "Law of Prisoners of War" issued by Hussar General a long time ago. Even Mi Heng, who likes to argue, thinks it is very reasonable. These rebellions in the surrounding area have triggered various wars, and the big man has to pay iron and blood to quell it. If these guys are just beheaded, it is undoubtedly too cheap for these guys. From the standpoint of a Han Chinese, as long as the Han Dynasty still has the power to suppress these slaves, such rules must be enforced.
Because the victors are big men, if in turn the victors are these Hu people, then those who become slaves and are used as cattle and sheep will be Han people.
Many times, this world does not exist for the word fair.
The hardships brought by the Huns have been experienced countless times by the Han people before, so Mi Heng has no intention of sympathizing with these people. Mi Heng believes that if these barbarians in the desert are the victors, these guys will only go too far.
Ni Heng enjoys the current big man very much. In the current Guanzhong, at least, he has seen the strength of the big man, instead of only seeing the corruption of the big man.
This made his original distorted cognition somewhat recovered.
Beside the official road not far away, there is a thick wooden stake, and a person, or the shape of a person, is hung on the stake. The corpse had long since rotted away, and the flesh on the body had been almost eaten by various scavengers, leaving only the bones.
Where there is oppression, there is naturally resistance. These are escaped slaves. If caught, he would be hanged on such a wooden pillar and placed in front of the rest of the slaves.
This method of admonishment is more effective than telling these slaves a thousand or ten thousand times the truth.
Mi Heng claims to be a person full of compassion for the world, but his compassion is only for the Han people, excluding these barbarians, because it is very simple, Mi Heng is a Han Chinese. Eating the food of the Han people, drinking the water of the Han people, wearing the clothes of the Han people, and holding the salary of the Han people, everything in Mi Heng is closely related to the Han people, then put down the bowls and chopsticks to speak for the Hu people, and then turn around and insult the Han people, You Heng can't do it.
So at the moment, even if Mi Heng is sometimes unwilling to admit it, he cannot ignore the meritorious service of General Hussars.
Because these meritorious deeds are placed in front of Mi Heng alive.
The expedition of the Han Dynasty was actually an expedition.
Unknown distances, unknown roads, unknown enemies, and unknown dangers test the endurance of the Han people all the time. However, Hussar General Fei Qian repeatedly challenged the endurance of the big Han people. The most important thing is that Hussar General Fei Qian succeeded!
Succeeded once, it can be called a fluke naturally. Then he stood up and said that Hussar generals should not be careless in their short-term, and that they cannot ignore the risks just because of one success. Soldiers are the country's top priority, and so on.
Anyway, this kind of talk is a person who has an open mouth and can spray it, but after the Hussar General's success again and again, these mouths smacked twice and closed.
Then even Mi Heng shut up.
Now no one dares to comment on the expedition of hussars.
It's like not many people dare to criticize some of the policies of Hussar General at the moment.
Afraid of being slapped in the face.
It hurts.
So even if Fei Qian ordered Yun Er to be responsible for the allocation of places related to Qinglong Temple, no one jumped out to object for a while. Then these guys took aim at Mi Heng, and they wanted Mi Heng to come forward to make troubles.
But this time, Mi Heng, who has somewhat recovered to normal, is not so easy to be fooled. After all, he suffered a loss in Ye City before, so he should have a longer memory, right?
What's more, it's not once or twice that Fei Qian straight hook fishing...
Although it is said that Mi Heng has a little disdain for Yun Er.
Yun Er is a rough man!
Meeting is what you look at, three sentences are always about fighting, and two sentences are about eating and drinking.
But such a rough man was sent to Qinglong Temple to participate in the so-called discussion system, which is obviously problematic. Jiang Taigong had been fishing for so long before he caught King Wen of Zhou. Fei Qian's fishing, which is similar to straight hooks, really did not abide by the Basic Law.
But the question is, is Fei Qian doing too much?
There seems to be no problem.
In Qinglong Temple, the site was built by Fei Qian, and all the bricks, stones and wooden beams were paid by Fei Qian, so is it normal for Fei Qian to charge some usage fees? Does Fei Qian have the final say on who to send to collect this fee?
So after Yun Er arrived on the scene, some people immediately speculated about Hussar's intentions, and even wondered whether this arrangement represented the direction of the next stage...
Actually, Fei Qian's idea is still the same as before, and he won the support of the real doers, or artificially screened out the doers. You can't be like some officials who work hard for the country, do their best to do their best, but get nothing from their labors, have nothing to gain, and their merits are all taken by others. We can't let some officials rely on bragging and connections to eat their mouths full It's oily, but it doesn't do anything about personnel.
You Hengxue is shrewd and keeps silent.
The rest of the people will not be the first to jump out and openly contend.
Everyone is watching, waiting, expecting the first person to confront Fei Qian.
Who is the one?
Mi Heng is also considering this issue.
Maybe it is those people who say that they are not generous enough, benevolent enough, or reflect the grandeur of a great man?
Sometimes Mi Heng also wonders, is it too much for the hussars to do this, or does it mean that the hussars treat these noble children as nothing? But if you think about it the other way around, you can understand that Yun Er is not responsible for the distribution of all the large and small places in Qinglong Temple. Allotment of space.
So even if Fei Qian doesn't use Yun Er to set up obstacles for these guys, is it possible that these guys will speak well of Fei Qian and express their support for Fei Qian's "Law of Corruption"?
Obviously, no.
Pang Tong and his people are dealing with these officials and local powerful households who violated the "Law of Corruption" one by one.
After all, Pang Tong bears the name of Si Zhi, so he needs to do this kind of thing. The copied money has become the additional investment for the next wave of public projects such as building roads, expanding docks and bridges, and what's more, these additional investment projects are like a newly built manor next to Feixiongxuan. It was crowned with the title of how much property was confiscated by so-and-so.
It made some gentry children choke in their throats, unable to speak or vomit.
In the past, building bridges and paving roads was a great merit, and was remembered and commemorated by the villagers. Now, thousands of people trample on thousands of people, not to mention how awkward it is.
This is what Mi Heng saw. Huqi's fishing with a straight hook was really too obvious, and he didn't catch anything at all...
Or in other words, it has already been caught, and it is uncomfortable to strangle.
After all, Feiqian is in control of the army, and the hissing and twitching expressions of all the soldiers when they shouted "hussars are victorious" make every son of the gentry know that as long as these soldiers are loyal to the hussars, they will be loyal to the hussars. Yu Feiqian, then whatever Feiqian said, it was what he said, if he wanted to behead a certain person, even if he died, he would have to beheaded again.
This is not a joke.
When Zhang Jiao died, he was dragged out of the coffin to flog his corpse. Although General Hussars did not exaggerate so much, his soldiers were still unscrupulous in carrying out orders...
You Heng heard that there was a guy in Longxi who was involved with the Zhao family in Linjing, but when he was traced to him, he was too old to be frightened, or he was already sick, but he didn't When he came out, he was frightened to death first, and then he was sentenced to beheaded. He was really dragged out of the body, and his head was still chopped off.
But the problem is, Mi Heng can't figure it out, how can Fei Qian confirm that the loyalty of these soldiers can last?
What Mi Heng can think of, Fei Qian can naturally think of.
『Go to the lecture hall! 』
Fei Qian led the guards out of the city and went to the lecture hall.
The original lecture hall was not very big, but later because more and more people participated in the lecture hall, the third ring has been moved outside the fifth ring.
The newly built Lecture Hall was built from the original Chang'an old camp, covering a very large area. There is also a huge school field next to the Lecture Hall, which can be used for counting soldiers and performing martial arts. There are walls around, and there are watchtowers on top of the walls, which are basically built according to the pattern of a military fortress. After entering the gate, there is a large square, and behind the big square are four rows of two-story houses, which can accommodate a thousand Accommodation for two hundred people.
Behind the four dormitory buildings is the functional area, including the original large and small lecture halls, large and small exhibition halls, as well as the sacrificial wine in the lecture hall, the doctor's accommodation area and the office area, as well as two canteens, one large and one small. Medical departments and other supporting facilities.
The head of the lecture hall is naturally Hussar General Fei Qian.
As for the general offering wine, it is not fixed. It used to be Xu Huang, but now Xu Huang will go to Sichuan and Sichuan to sit in the next stage, so Fei Qian is going to transfer Zhang Liao to serve as the general offering wine for a period of time. Previously, Xu Huang talked mostly about infantry combat, array arrangement, mutual cooperation, mobilization of flags and drums and other related content. In the next stage, Zhang Liao will serve as the sacrificial wine, and he will mainly focus on talking about some cavalry tactics, looking for opportunities before the formation, etc. Wait.
Anyway, different generals naturally have different priorities.
If it is Wei Yan, it is basically mountain warfare plus surprise attack...
As for the instructors in the lecture hall, in principle, they are middle-aged non-commissioned officers who have retired under the generals. These non-commissioned officers are getting older, and their fighting strength will inevitably decline due to age, but their battle experience will increase with time. Age is becoming more and more abundant, so it is actually a very good arrangement to let these middle-aged non-commissioned officers serve as instructors.
Fei Qian checked the dormitories of the students, mainly beds and bedding. The previous batch of students have left, and now they are preparing to welcome a new batch of students, so these things will not be used for a long time, and naturally they will easily cause mold or become a paradise for creatures such as mice.
However, the overall look is not bad.
At least it's not the kind of coping method under surprise inspection, it's the kind of cleanliness that someone cleans and maintains inside. There are some dust in some places, which is harmless, but the surrounding area doesn't seem to be in advance because they know that Fei Qian is coming. Traces left by washing etc.
In later generations, when the superiors inspected the companies or institutions below, they would always do some general cleaning or something, but obviously not all the cleaning can be dried quickly, and it can be done on the second or third day. The day did not leave any water stains, so the question is, did the superiors see this kind of temporary cleaning water stains, or did they not see them, or did they treat them as if they did not see them?
Fei Qian walked slowly inside while watching.
Fei Qian once also considered the political commissar system of later generations, and extended the hand of control to the grassroots of the soldiers, but after careful consideration, Fei Qian gave up this idea. While the idea is certainly tempting, the idea, like most moves in history, has its pros and cons.
So it is better to use the lecture hall directly.
The military supervision system in the original Han Dynasty was also very complicated.
For example, the distribution of food and grass, military equipment, arrows, crossbows, etc. required for the army to travel were the responsibility of the eunuchs in the Luoyang Palace, but the local prefects could also raise a certain amount of military food and equipment privately. That is. During the period of Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty, if a military general wanted to march and fight, if he wanted the imperial court to transfer grain, grass and equip equipment, he had to go through careful review by eunuchs like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong before he could transfer and deploy.
If the local military generals do not need the imperial court to transfer food and grass, and the local county warehouses can meet their military supplies, they only need to be reviewed by the local prefect and state governor, and then reported to the imperial court.
This military supervision system looks very good, but in fact it is basically zero.
That's why eighteen princes fought against Dong Zhuo...
Local authority is too great, and it is the opposite of what is said.
Of course, this is also because four hundred years before the Han Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty of China was similar to the system in which the position of the Son of Heaven was inflated but had no real power, and the princes ruled one side. So even in the Han Dynasty, although the system of feudal vassals was abandoned and the system of prefectures and counties was adopted, but limited by the historical perspective, the road of reform could not go too far.
Therefore, the problem of military power, if you want to control the entire army, you can't solve the problem with a few words or a few people. Whether it is the military supervision system or the political commissar system, in the era of cold weapons and inconvenient communication, they all directly point to a very difficult problem, that is, the army's battlefield command power.
The system of supervising the army or the political commissar is to control the army more effectively, but such a system will often have counterproductive effects in the later stage. In the impression of later generations, those eccentric eunuchs and supervising troops will not be mentioned, and it is often not a good image to say that the political commissar who looks like Ula.
In history, the Supervising Army started in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then continued to later generations. It has never been cut off, and it has always been inherited and changed. The **** supervising the army is obviously the most notorious, but the other two modes of supervising the army are not much better.
Supervising the army is not "monitoring the army and generals" as it is widely believed. Monitoring the army and generals is one of the duties of supervising the army, but the job of supervising the army is not just about monitoring the army.
Supervising the army is more important to supervise, patrol, control, etc. As for the single item of monitoring, it is most important when the world is in turmoil.
So Fei Qian does not have a military supervision system now? There are also some, and they belong to the civilian supervising army.
It is not advisable for a military officer to supervise the army. This has been proven in the former Qin Dynasty.
So now most of them are civilian officials supervising the army.
That is to say, when each general leads troops into battle, he appoints a civil servant to take charge of important military activities such as transportation and supply, deployment of officials, merit statistics, etc., and is responsible for the transmission of documents between the army and the central government. It's like being by Zhao Yun's side, it was originally Sima Yi, but now it is Simpi.
Civilian supervising the army is supposed to be more appropriate, one of the means to balance civil and military internally, and adjust the power between ministers and emperors, but this type of supervising the army is most prone to two situations.
One is civil and military discord and internal fighting. Since they belong to two systems, no one can forcibly submit to the other. The final outcome of this kind of internal fighting is often that the two sides pull each other's hind legs, fight for power, and even deliberately create defeats in order to prove the opponent's strategic mistakes.
There will even be bad incidents of overstepping the system and planning to kill...
Another disadvantage is that the stage of generals is in the frontier, while the core of civil servants is in the capital. Civil officials are often not only supervising the army, but even have the mission of political struggle in the court, and regard military behavior as an important bargaining chip in the political struggle within the court. Civil officials took advantage of the military supervision system to control the military power of the army, and relied on the large army in their hands to fight against political opponents and even the emperor. The final outcome of this complete politicization of the military is even more conceivable. There are such cases in all dynasties, the most in the Song Dynasty!
Because they saw that the civil servants were unreliable, most of the military supervisors in the Ming Dynasty used eunuchs, but it is clear that eunuchs and supervisors caused the most tragedies in the Ming Dynasty...
Why is there a supervisory army?
That is, since ancient times, there were very few good generals who were loyal to the country. Therefore, the emperor had no choice but to use those generals who were talented but had some moral problems, and tried to use people who were loyal to the country to restrict these generals who were good at fighting. The army does not become the private property of individuals, but belongs to the state.
Fei Qian stood in front of the lobby of the lecture hall, looking up with his hands behind his back.
Why can't we consider the problem from another angle?
