Chapter 943 The Secret of the Five Armies

Yangmin Mansion, a few long days.

Previously, Wu Yi refused to go with Wang Xinyuan and others on the pretext of important matters in his hometown. However, in the past few days, Wu Yi did not really leave. Instead, he changed his identity and continued to wander around the city to 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 Yamen of Yangmin Mansion to obtain information from those close to Liu Bingzhong.

Too few information sources will affect the chance of success in decision-making, so Wu Yi would rather delay it for a few days than act on his own initiative. After all, the plan is very big and involves civil unrest, so we have to be cautious.

Finally, Wu Yi's comprehensive income is not completely consistent with what Wang Xinyuan said. After all, the information Wang Xinyuan obtained, not to mention second-hand, is likely to be third- or fourth-hand. Every time the information passes through, it is likely to change and lose value. Even reverse guidance.

In the past few days, Wu Yi's biggest gain should be a sentence he accidentally heard from the boy next to Liu Bingzhong. The imperial court was preparing to use troops in Beijun in order to unify the world and dominate the world.

The Daji Dynasty occupies almost the entire western land of the Upper Realm, and its human destiny stretches like a raging fire. Its destiny is as strong as those of the major sects that have inherited hundreds of tribulations.

The current military system of the Daji Dynasty has internal and external checks and balances. It is divided into five armies. The four armies guard the four sides of the dynasty. One army has 1.25 million people. The central army guards the center, with a huge number of 5 million people! The strength of the four border armies is equivalent to that of the central government.

In this way, the center is strong but the borders are weak, with strong trunks and weak branches. On the one hand, through convenient roads, it ensures that even if there is rebellion at the border, there will be enough power to suppress it; on the other hand, if there is an internal change, then the city gates will be closed, the walls will be clear, and the country will be clear. Waiting for the troops of King Qin from all directions, we can also suppress the internal rebellion.

In addition, daily recruitment, training, troop deployment, troop leadership, logistics, etc. are all separated to ensure that there will be no self-respecting people inside. Once something happens, a special commander will be set up to coordinate all parties to prevent government orders from coming from all directions and not being consistent at the top and bottom, so as to achieve the concentration of power.

When the fighting stops, the generals' tents will be removed. The soldiers and horses from all directions will return to where they came from!

The Daji Dynasty nominally has five armies, and the system also sets how many soldiers and horses there are. At the beginning of the dynasty, this setting was good, because the dynasty started in the middle of the continent, a place where four wars were fought, and naturally four armies were needed to deal with it. Enemies are coming from all directions.

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

Up to now, it can be said that among the five armies, except for the Northern Army and the Chinese Army, the other three armies are not worthy of their name. Not to mention the daily training, it is rare for the army to have 30% actual strength.

As for the reason, it can be summed up in one sentence: the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked! The Daji Dynasty has completed the unification of the east, west and south, so what else does the army need to do?

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

However, these countries are just surviving, appointing officials, and cannot even control their own finances and official selection. They are just colonies of the Daji Dynasty, and they are no match for the Daji Dynasty. Retaining them is not for other reasons, but to maintain the skin of the five-service system.

Almost everyone in the Daji Dynasty knew this, and generations of kings also understood it. However, even those great emperors who left their names in history did not initiate reforms.

One of the most important points is that if there is a natural or man-made disaster, the army is a good place to absorb the unemployed and homeless people in the country. Also, even if it is just a piece of skin, no one dares to provoke until they have completely lost their claws, and if they want to Enabled, there are also foundations that can be used.

It's funny to say that the army, which was originally used to protect against humiliation, has become a guarantee for society. Because of this, the army is despised by the people. A good man cannot be a soldier, and a good man cannot hammer nails.

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

The three major fronts of the East, West and South currently have basically the same responsibilities as police superintendents, and are used to maintain internal stability.

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

The Northern Army has been established for many years and has a huge reserve army. Chen Yan, the original owner of Wu Yi's body, is actually one of the Northern Army's reserve forces. In Beijun, it can almost be said that a compulsory military service system is implemented. Anyone who is sixteen years old Youth must be registered.

There are several roads leading from the center to the north. Once the north is in trouble, assistance from the entire empire will come like a tide.

The reason is not difficult to imagine. What the Northern Army has to face is not embroidered pillows, but the real enemy.

Since the inheritance of humane civilization in the Western Land of the Upper Boundary, this area in the north of the continent occupies about 3% to 5% of the continent's area. The terrain is high and cold, steep and difficult to overcome.

This area has never been integrated into the empire. This is true for the Great Extreme Dynasty, and the same is true for the other major dynasties. It has always been two civilizations and two systems that go hand in hand.

In other areas, if there is a war, there is always an explanation from ancient times, but here, historians have searched the scriptures and can't find an explanation.

Because the terrain is high and there are not many intersections into the plateau, it is naturally easy to defend but difficult to attack. The area is not large, and the population within it is not large. It is not comparable to the plains. However, there are a series of mountain basins inside, making it self-sufficient.

Of course, the prerequisite for self-sufficiency is that there are no natural or man-made disasters. Once a disaster occurs, the neighbors to the north will like to go south to plunder, just like a raging wildfire, without any regard for their vitality, they will rob everything they see and there is no end to it. All burned down.

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

All in all, the conflicts between the two sides have accumulated over the years, and the hatred between the two sides has continued through several empires and has not been cut off.

If they hear the news that their northern neighbor is moving south, there will be no talk of peace between the DPRK and China, and they will be sprayed to death.

When the Daji Dynasty was at its most powerful, it almost forced the Northern Barbarians to the cape, within a narrow range of less than 300 kilometers.

However, due to the internal turmoil at that time, it was a great regret that we were not able to accomplish our mission in one battle.

Beijun is the front line, of course not the only front line. However, in previous battles against the Northern invaders, it was mostly where the Northern Army's general headquarters was set up, and its location was extremely important.

Although Wu Yi learned about the news that the people in the court were going to use troops in Beilu from the mouth of a book boy, Wu Yi had no doubts.

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