Chapter seven hundred and seventy-eight of the elite group(2/2)
What does it mean? It means that conscripts from across the country cannot be recruited too intensively, frequently and on a large scale to fight wars. This will lead to large-scale attrition and bankruptcy of the backbone of society, the main body of conscripts - the peasant farmers and the middle class. Every seven, eight, ten years
A large-scale conscription is enough once every few years. If conscripts are recruited all day long to carry out large-scale military operations, the number of conscripts will drop rapidly, and it will lead to the collapse of the entire social order.
In Ryan's previous life, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed all the solid foundation that his father and his grandfather had accumulated over the past forty years, which led to the end of the compulsory soldier system, the almost collapse of social order, and the loss of more than two million people in Kanto.
The refugees were basically wiped out in this way, and the dynasty's population dropped by more than four million people from the beginning to the end of the reign.
Ryan knows that many people don't like to see this. What they like to see is the heroic strategy, the unification, the surrender of all nations, being the king of Qi (declaring war on all forces), and turning thousands of miles into a big battle without considering logistics. Ryan also likes to see this.
I understand everyone’s desire to make achievements, but to put it another way, what if you are the conscript soldier who is drafted for a big expedition every one or two years, and all the manpower and material resources needed for the war are transferred to you?
Isn’t it too miserable to be such a bastard?
Ryan is not against the conscript system and unification, he just knows that under the conscript system, we must cherish the people's strength. Human beings are not chaotic and irrational, nor do they reproduce casually like green skins. Therefore, after the expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains, he formulated a series of recuperation measures.
It is a national policy, and we firmly oppose launching another plundering war against Obien.
Just like Sulia said, high elves are not a military society where dark elves encourage mass births or a slave society that relies on war to make a fortune. It is a miracle that Morville's conscript system has not collapsed until now.
"I heard you are what kind of knight king?" Ryan was still thinking about it. Princess Tyrannroc, a member of the War Council, and the heroic Princess Adira overheard the strange conversations between Ryan and the others. She was young and energetic, and she was like before.
The princess who successfully defeated Prince "Beauty" Sigvald, the champion of Slaanesh, was obviously extremely dissatisfied. She was fully armed, strode up to Ryan, and said coldly: "When will it be our turn to deal with Assur?"
Are outsiders judging you?"
"What? When I evaluate the combat effectiveness of high elves, do I still have pointy ears?" Ryan was obviously unhappy when his speech was interrupted. He said angrily to the unfamiliar elf princess in front of him: "Or do you think I
Not qualified?"
"Whether you are qualified or not, you have to fight to find out!" Princess Adila suddenly became angry. She thought that the monkey was indeed a monkey. The princess directly pulled out the sword and stuck it on the ground in front of Ryan: "Just in time, the war lord needs some time to arrange
, why don’t we have a showdown? A showdown of honor?”
Under the playful looks of Fulgen and Sulia, Ryan also became more energetic, and the King of Knights stood up.
