Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"Daqin now has a million iron cavalry too many. With so many people, the annual food and salary consumption alone is not a small amount, so the reduction of troops is necessary, but it can be maintained within a stable amount."

"At the same time, Daqin recruits troops every year, but a large part of the soldiers recruited may have stayed in the army for many years without ever going to the battlefield. This is another waste of labor."

"So, I think that Daqin can promote the way of conscription as a soldier, so that young people who have reached the age of conscription can take the initiative to join the army. After staying in the army for a certain period of time, they can consider leaving the army and returning to society."

"In this way, Daqin's army can keep fresh blood injected at any time to ensure youth, and it is also conducive to the growth of Daqin's young and middle-aged, and in case there is any big threat in the future, these retired soldiers can Form an army soon, what do you think, father?"

……

After listening to Zhao Che's words, everyone including Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.

Now Daqin's military service is not as strict as before. It is no longer a mandatory requirement, but a high standard and strict requirement.

The reason for this result, apart from the fact that there are basically no large-scale wars in Daqin now, is that Zhao Che has raised the status and treatment of Daqin soldiers before, so now serving in the military is simply a dream for many poor Qianshou up.

And what Zhao Che said just now is also reasonable. There are too many soldiers in Daqin, so many people may not have witnessed the fighting on the battlefield from the time they joined the army to the time they left.

If it is changed to the form of conscripts, Daqin's army becomes a place for training troops. As long as it is the leader of Daqin and meets certain requirements, it can join the army and receive training.

In this way, Daqin will realize a scene where all the people are soldiers in the future, and these retired soldiers are also the reserves of the Daqin army. If a large-scale war breaks out, these retired soldiers can be recruited into the army again, and only need a little training. You can become a soldier on the battlefield.

It sounds complicated, but it is actually very simple. It is equivalent to turning the entire Great Qin into a barracks, and all the retired soldiers are still continuing to contribute to Great Qin.

"Tomorrow, a court meeting will be held, and the widow will bring this matter up, and then we will see the opinions of all the love ministers in the court."

Ying Zheng did not agree directly, but planned to ask the courtiers in the court tomorrow.

However, in Ying Zheng's own heart, he already agreed with this idea very much, and now he just lacks a will.

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhao Che also saw what Ying Zheng was thinking at this time, and after saying a word with his hands folded, he sent Ying Zheng and others out.

……

The next day, the Xianyang court discussed.

As soon as Ying Zheng came to court, he brought up the matter and asked everyone for their opinions.

Wei Liao and other generals were summoned by Ying Zheng to Xianyang Palace after they came back yesterday, so naturally they stood up and expressed their approval without saying a word.

As for the other courtiers, they have their own opinions, but generally speaking, there are still a relatively large number of people who support the conscripts.

The remaining part also paid more attention to Daqin's military strength, and worried that replacing so many regular troops at once might lead to the emptiness of Daqin's army.

"Don't worry, dear friends, the Daqin Military Aircraft Department has researched the latest powerful weapon. As long as my Daqin army can equip this weapon, its strength will be increased dozens of times in an instant!"

Ying Zheng said something with a smile.

"New weapon? What's that?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all the ministers were a little puzzled.

Generally speaking, the replacement of weapons will not be very fast. The previous bronze weapons have not changed much since they were used in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

It wasn't until Zhao Che proposed the iron smelting technique that Daqin's bronze weapons had undergone an update. The original bronze weapons were all replaced with iron weapons, and all aspects were considered to have improved a lot.

Not to mention that Daqin also has long-range weapons such as Tianshen Gun and Zhuge Liannu, which are enough to support hundreds of years of development.

They knew about the construction of the Military Aircraft Department, but the situation inside the Military Aircraft Department was kept in absolute secrecy, even if they were in high positions, they couldn't get any news at all.

Therefore, when they heard that Ying Zheng suddenly mentioned a new type of weapon, these people were so puzzled.

"You don't need to worry about the new weapons for the time being. When the National Day comes, they will naturally be unveiled."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and didn't say much.

"As for the matter of conscripts, if you dear ladies have no other opinions, I will make an order. Chun Yuyue, you will publish this matter in the Daqin Daily tomorrow. After the National Day is over, you can start preparing for it."

"Here!"

Chunyu stepped forward to accept the order, and the matter was considered settled.

……

Daqin Daily quickly spread the news about Daqin's recruitment of conscripts.

As long as they are young people of the right age, they can sign up to join the army. As long as they pass the assessment, they will have the opportunity to enter the Daqin army for training.

The service period of conscripts is still two years. During the two years, not only food and housing are provided, but also subsidies. After two years, as long as they are outstanding talents, they can consider staying in the army to continue their development.

Of course, if the performance is unqualified, they will also be persuaded to quit. If they commit crimes in the army, they will even be severely punished.

But all of this did not stop the enthusiasm of the old Qin people. After all, the Daqin title system was carried out according to the military merit system.

The military merit system has allowed Daqin's military strength to advance by leaps and bounds, so the old Qin people have a militant character in their bones and are proud of joining the army.

In the past, when the treatment of Daqin's army was so bad, Daqin still had millions of soldiers. Now that the treatment of enlisting in the army is so good, naturally more people want to join.

As soon as the news spread, many young people frantically inquired about where they could enroll in the army.

Knowing that the registration for joining the army will start after the Great Qin National Day, all young people who are interested have started to prepare in advance.

Just like that, the National Day of Daqin has finally arrived, in the anticipation of everyone in Daqin.

A few days before the National Day, the inside and outside of Xianyang City was already overcrowded. Whether it was from the inns in the city or the houses outside the city, they were full of Qianshou who wanted to come to visit the ceremony.

In fact, some Guizhou heads couldn't find a place to live, so they simply brought their own tents and found a wasteland outside Xianyang City to forcefully build a camp.
