Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

It is not so easy to obtain these two rights.

At least, it's not possible right now.

With military power, there is majesty, which can make people awe and fear.

With financial power, you can reward your subordinates and motivate them to work for you.

Although military power and financial power are separate, they influence each other to a certain extent.

With military power, you can search for property within a certain range.

With property, you can form and maintain a certain size of the army.

However, Jing Zhaoyin's military power and financial power are not all in the hands of the prefect.

The first is military power. At present, the army is nominally under the command of the prefect's mansion.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not affect Jingzhaoyin, and the government of Jingzhaoyin did not expand the army like the counties and counties in Shandong, there are still private soldiers among the wealthy families in each county.

The private soldier system is popular in all states and counties nowadays, and Jing Zhaoyin's aristocratic family is no exception.

Every family, more or less, has set up some private soldiers to protect the family, protect the caravan, and resist bandits.

As the Han Dynasty's control over the local area became weaker and weaker, the prefects and county governments in various places also turned a blind eye to this.

As for financial power, it is even more complicated. The central government's ability to control the local area is getting worse and worse, which has also led to the prefect's government's control over the entire county and counties getting worse and worse.

The tax collectors in the prefect's mansion and the county government have been able to collect less and less tax. Many wealthy families often conceal or even refuse to pay taxes. The situation is getting worse and worse.

There are fewer and fewer people registered in the government, the population is hidden, the fields are barren, and business channels are blocked. These are also several important reasons for the decrease in tax revenue.

In the next half month, Liu Zhang did not intervene too much in Jing Zhaoyin's affairs, but he continued to meet various officials, talked with them in detail, and learned about the specific situation.

Therefore, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without imperil.

Now that Yu Wei of the Han Dynasty is still there, he still has many opportunities, but he knows that the time left for himself is not much.

The first thing he did was to learn about Jing Zhaoyin's household registration.

If you want to know the household registration, you have to ask the county magistrate and household Cao. They are all in charge of the household registration of a county.

After two conversations, they brought over the household registrations of the ten counties under Jing Zhaoyin's jurisdiction.

There is a big basket of bamboo slips, placed in front of Liu Zhang, it is very exaggerated.

It took a whole day for Liu Zhang to read these household registrations.

The population of the entire Jingzhaoyin is recorded on the basis of one household, one household. There are a total of more than 28 households, with a total of [-] people.

In other words, the population of a family is three to eight people.

The entire Jingzhaoyin is so big, with a registered population of only 28, and this is impossible when there has been no military disaster for hundreds of years.

The specific reason lies in the household registration system.

The slaves and servants of the big households, as well as the hunters hiding in the deep mountains and the bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, are not included in the household registration.

However, these people are not included in the registered population if they are not within the jurisdiction of the government.

Therefore, the total population of Jing Zhaoyin is definitely larger than the registered population.

The government of Jing Zhaoyin will not receive any tax for the population that is not within the household registration.

Jing Zhaoyin, as the accompanying capital of the great Han, may be a little more arrogant in the situation of the aristocratic family, but if they want them to completely obey him, they still need certain means.

After learning about Jing Zhaoyin's household registration, Liu Zhang wanted to know how much property he had in the county.

For this problem, Juncheng, Ji Cao and Shaofu Shi are needed.

The prefect of the county manages all government affairs, Ji Cao manages a county's finances, and Shaofu Shi manages the finances of the prefect's mansion.

One is the public finances, and the other is Liu Zhang's own finances.

Fortunately, Jing Zhaoyin is not bad. He just took office, and there are still 20 shi of grain and grass in the treasury, as well as cloth, copper coins, and gold cakes.

The third thing is to care about the army.

Each county is assigned a county lieutenant who is in charge of the military affairs of a county, but now some county prefects are strong, and the county lieutenant is equivalent to a transparent person.

Even in some counties, the prefect dismissed the county lieutenant and directly commanded the military affairs of a county.

Before Liu Zhang came to Jingzhaoyin, Jingzhaoyin had a county lieutenant.

Through the county captain, Liu Zhang learned that there are 3000 soldiers in Jingzhaoyin.Each of the nine counties was guarded by 1000 soldiers, and Chang'an City had [-] [-] soldiers.

This little army, guarding Jing Zhaoyin, seems ridiculous, because there are too few soldiers, and it cannot be defended at all.

However, this is also the truth of the big man.

The Han Dynasty is getting weaker and weaker. It has always continued the policy of the Western Han Dynasty with strong stems and weak branches. The local defenders are not allowed to exceed the number of troops.

However, the southern and northern armies gradually became unusable. Especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lingdi Liu Hongcai ordered General He Jin to temporarily expand his troops, and allowed prefects and governors in various places to recruit soldiers to guard states and counties.

This led to a sudden increase in the number of soldiers in many counties. Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is over, there are still remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and the prefects in various places are unwilling to disband the army.

That's why there are [-] to [-] soldiers in a county.

However, the Guanzhong and Henan Yin areas where Jing Zhaoyin is located are not infested by the Yellow Turban Army, so these counties did not expand their troops.

Liu Zhang asked the county lieutenant to inspect the army, and the county lieutenant took Liu Zhang to the barracks in the city.

Chang'an City is the second largest city after Luoyang. At its peak, there were several military camps in the city, but now they are all deserted, leaving only one.

The scale of this military camp is not bad, Liu Zhang looked at it, and at least 5000 people can be stationed there.

It's just that in the barracks, although there are many houses, there are only [-] soldiers.

Fortunately, there was no military disaster in Guanzhong, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to defend a big city like Chang'an.

The military system of the Han Dynasty followed the Qin Dynasty, but after 400 years, some adjustments were made.

From bottom to top, five people make up a team, and set up a team leader; ten people make up a team, and set up a team leader; 50 people make up a team, and set up a leader; People are one, and Sima is set up.

This is the basic organization of the army. Above the department, battalions and troops will be set up to command.

Sima cannot lead the army alone. Above Sima are middle and senior officers, such as captain, captain, general Zhonglang, and general.

Now the system of the Han Dynasty has not completely collapsed, and there are not so many generals in the country, but everyone is used to shouting loudly.

There are only 3000 people in Jingzhaoyin, and the county lieutenant is only at the level of a school lieutenant.

As far as the rank of school lieutenant is concerned, it is already considered a very high military rank.

The military barracks in Chang'an City were concentrated in the school grounds within half an hour after Liu Zhang and the county lieutenant inspected them.

There are not many people, and it is very easy to gather together.

Liu Zhang ordered the soldiers on the spot to click their guns, and found that more than 180 people had expired, which was considered very strong.

He didn't come here to show power and kill people, but he just encouraged the soldiers and let them know that he was Jing Zhaoyin's prefect, so he dismissed them.
