There are many ways Xiao Ruxun can prevent the army from getting a chance to slack off. In addition to the fun model of sports competitions, there are more harsh and cruel modes, such as confrontation exercises.

The army cannot forget the exercises, and it cannot forget the battle when there is no military war, otherwise the combat effectiveness will decline rapidly. The reason why the Han army in the Western Han Dynasty could maintain considerable combat effectiveness was not only because of the great threat of the Huns, but also because of the long-term uninterrupted martial arts exercise.

The Han army attached no less importance to the combat effectiveness of the army than the Qin army.

In the Han Dynasty, China was not as large as it is now. Faced with the pressure of the powerful Huns, the military service system of the Han army was close to the compulsory military service system where the whole nation was a soldier. The Han inherited the Qin system. At that time, it was stipulated that men must register with the government at the age of 20, and according to the principle of three years of farming and one year of storage, they officially served from the age of 23 until they were fifty-six.

During the appropriate age period, except for the slack training in the farming industry every year, each person must serve twice a lifetime. Each time, once in the local area, it is called "main soldiers" and once in the border or capital, it is called "garrison soldiers" or "guardians". Once there is a great war and the troops are insufficient, the trained farmers must immediately gather to Chang'an and prepare to go to war.

Because of the continuous training during the slack season, even the reserve troops who were not in the service period had strong combat power. Using this powerful military source provided by the method of being a soldier for the whole nation, Emperor Wu of Han finally defeated the Huns and determined the absolute hegemony of the Han regime in East Asia.

This military service system is of great reference significance even in modern times, but it gradually became impossible to implement later.

In addition to the policy-level problems, the biggest reason is the decline of centralization, the land and farmers in the local areas are controlled by local tyrants and gentry, and the country has no land or self-cultivated farmers, so the military system has gradually become corrupt.

The decline of the central government's control over local governments is the reason why the military system cannot be implemented. Of course, the rise of local forces is also accompanied by the rise of the imperial examination system, and the rise of the imperial examination duty-free bureaucratic group is also accompanied by the decline of the national military power.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun planned to destroy the miscellaneous people left by Qianming and drove the imperial examination tax-free bureaucrats into the bottomless abyss in one fell swoop. He did not allow bureaucrats to be exempted in any sense. Fame and fortune are not a tax-free basis. Taxes must be paid. He will do everything that Yongzheng did not do.

The Qin government is a big government, and the beautiful life envisioned by some people will never return. Xiao Ruxun will seize the authority of the local government and will definitely not give the local tyrants the possibility of rebirth.

For this purpose, it is also very necessary to determine the military service system, so Xiao Ruxun has issued a notice in the provinces under his full control, and implemented the military service system of the Han Dynasty on a certain basis.

Men over 20 years old must register with the government regardless of their wealth. Each person needs to serve in the military twice, each year, and at the rest of the time, they are on standby at the local area for reserve troops.

Farmers need to receive military training during slack farming, and cannot be familiar with military skills, and the three classes of scholars, industry and commerce cannot be excluded.

However, since the mobile business and business are relatively mobile, there is no concept of slack farming. Although registration is still required, if you cannot serve in the military, you are allowed to pay the government to exempt you from serving twice a lifetime of military service based on the amount of family property. However, you are still reserved soldiers and you still have to enlist in the military once the country needs it.

In order to encourage the military to improve the status of soldiers, Xiao Ruxun also made regulations that prisoners are not allowed to be exiled. The army is glorious. Only good children with clean wealth can join the army, and prisoners are only worthy of being hardworking.

Moreover, if one person serves the military for one year, the whole family will be exempted from junior and taxes for one year. Soldiers will receive a considerable amount of reward when they return home after serving in the military. If they make contributions during their military service, they will receive additional rewards.

If you are willing to stay in the army and develop into a professional soldier until you retire at the age of 56, your family will become a military family. It is not the same as ordinary households. Taxes, taxes, and other services will be treated specially. You can receive grain, oil, rice and flour donated by the state every year. Professional soldiers have two family holidays a year and are allowed to go home to visit relatives.

In addition, Xiao Ruxun also stipulates that there is only one situation where an individual can have the qualification to be exempted from tax, that is, joining the army to establish first-class merit. The first-class merit and the family of my parents can be exempted from tax forever, but it cannot be passed on to descendants. If the person and his parents die, the descendants will no longer be treated like this.

Sometimes improving the status of a soldier is as simple and quick as Emperor Taizong of Song suppressing the status of a soldier. As long as people see real benefits, they can quickly improve the social status of a certain profession. Tax exemption and exemption from terrorist service is the best method.

Such policies can also quickly increase people's enthusiasm for childbirth. If there are more children at home, they will not feel sorry for sending one out to join the army.

Xiao Ruxun felt that the population of Daqin is still too small at present, and it is barely capable of developing the country. It is too small to go abroad to explore the world. So while carrying out such steps, we should also encourage fertility, give money to families who are striving to give birth, and tell them the country's attitude of encouraging fertility.

Under such promotion, the provinces that have settled down have begun to develop vigorously.

Other things were also carried out in an orderly manner under the promotion of Xiao Ruxun.

Against this background, Xiao Ruxun announced the holding of a joint military confrontation exercise between Qinglong Camp and Zhuque Camp. The venue was in the Shijingshan area of ​​the northwest of the capital, with 50,000 participants.

The White Tiger Camp has already been driven to Liaodong in large numbers and cannot participate in military exercises. Xuanwu Camp is mainly stationed in the three southeastern provinces, responsible for maintaining public security and land reform, and cannot participate, so it can only allow Qinglong Camp and Zhuque Camp to engage in this military confrontation.

This confrontation exercise was multifaceted, including the confrontation between spearmen and swords and shields, gunmen, cavalry, gunners, and gunners, and cooperative confrontation between soldiers, physical confrontation, and more than a dozen confrontational events.

Under the guise of the decisive battle between the Qinglong Camp and the Zhuque Camp, the generals and officers of the entire Qin army were basically attracted.

This can be regarded as the largest military confrontation in half a year. It is said that the winner can receive extremely generous rewards, while the loser will be punished and even ridiculed by the winner.

So Qinglong Camp and Zhuque Camp were all working hard, and Ma Wei and Zhao Hu had been gazing at each other for several months.

Zhao Hu and Ma Wei were the two generals who made the greatest contributions in the previous Northern Expedition. One led the main force to fight against Jiangnan and Central Plains. As the main force, the other went north on the West Road and all the way. After occupying Sichuan and Shu, the Northern Expedition was reversed and successfully occupied the northwest, and the most powerful army of the Ming court was incorporated into an organization, which made great contributions.

Qinglong Camp and Zhuque Camp also faced each other tit-for-tat because of this confrontation. No one likes anyone. Everyone is saying that this confrontation will determine which army the First Army of the Qin Dynasty is. Those who win will naturally make a fortune, and those who lose will probably be cursed.

Therefore, neither Zhao Hu nor Ma Wei were willing to lose. He tried his best to train his subordinates and had higher requirements for their respective subordinates than before.
