Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1936: The martial spirit of the Tang Dynasty

In the past few decades, with the policy of superior military, it seems that the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the young people, have gone beyond the normal scope.

Now, the most popular entertainment item in almost all preparatory courses in the Tang Dynasty is the step team. But the key is that these young people play the step ball, just to get extra points when they apply for the military academy, which is a bit strange. now...

From this, it can be further proved that the military atmosphere of today's Datang, not only these military academies and students preparing to apply for military academies, but also the military atmosphere of ordinary universities is quite strong.

Because all the college students in Datang are all reserve warrant officers.

Datang has long determined the freshmen of various universities, and after admission, for example, they will undergo three-month military training.

It is worth noting that the military training of college students in Datang does not treat the academicians as soldiers. In their three-month training, physical training is only the most basic.

It is more inclined to the cultivation of military knowledge such as tactics and military theory, and students will also be divided into walking subjects, riding subjects, artillery subjects, and transportation subjects and other subjects for group study.

To put it bluntly, the three-month military training for these college students is actually a crash course for officers.

After three months of study, these reserve officers are too good to say, but they can still be hired as grassroots officers and command companies at the platoon level.

After completing three months of military training in the officer's crash course, these college students will receive the rank of reserve warrant officer.

During their school days, they were reserve officers in the second conscription sequence in the Tang military service system.

After graduating, they will become the third call-up sequence, and if they are over forty years old, they will be transferred to the fourth call-up sequence. If they are over fifty years old, they no longer need to serve in the reserve.

According to the military service system of the Tang Dynasty, if a war breaks out, it is necessary to supplement the losses or expand the army to prepare for the war, and it is necessary to recruit reserve officers.

The first recruitment is naturally a retired officer. According to the time of retirement, the military rank will be recruited in batches.

Theoretically speaking, there are enough retired officers in the Datang military, and there is no need to recruit reserve officers from ordinary colleges and universities.

Because according to the military's estimates, the existing retired reserve officers can fully support Datang's expansion to more than 3 million people.

This is three million, which can make Datang hang the world several times.

Datang's current number of troops is actually just over one million, and with just such a force, it already controls the world.

Expanding the army to three million is enough for Datang to deal with all threats.

Even if it needs to continue to expand the military, as long as there is enough time, the military can also expand the number of officers by expanding the enrollment of military academies and shortening the training time of military academies. Basically, as long as it is not too anxious, the military can solve it on its own.

However, it is always necessary to prevent accidents from happening. If something uncontrollable happens, for example, the military needs to expand its troops by more than 3 million people in a very short period of time, or when the loss is too large and needs a large amount of replenishment in a short period of time .

Then it is necessary to recruit the second-sequence reservists, that is, college students.

If it's not enough, for example, if the army expands to tens of millions, then it is necessary to widely recruit college students and reserve officers who have graduated and entered the society.

Regardless of whether these college students' reservists are needed, it is undeniable that all the college students in Datang are reserve officers of the Datang Empire.

Regardless of whether they are in school or have graduated, they are all reserve officers of the Tang Dynasty.

You can bring out a college student at random, no matter whether it is a freshman or a middle-aged man who has graduated for many years, he can directly command a platoon of troops, and a more capable one can even directly command a company.

If you pull out nearly 1,600 students from Jinling University of Technology and assign them to a few senior officers, they can directly form the framework of about two divisions.

As long as a sufficient number of soldiers are replenished, two full divisions can be pulled out directly.

This shows how abnormal the reserve system of the Tang Dynasty is.

It is a pity that judging from Datang's current national strength and the threats it faces, it is estimated that these college student reservists will not be able to be recruited for the rest of their lives.

The military's active duty and retired reserves are sufficient to deal with almost all threats.

Even if it is a threat to fight a little more, as long as the Datang military is given a certain amount of preparation time, it can fully cope with it, and there is no need to recruit reserve officers from non-professional officers.

Lin Ziran engaged in this kind of reserve service, and more of it was to realize the establishment of a reserve service system to prevent problems before they happened. The ghost knows what the scene will be in dozens or hundreds of years.

After all, it is impossible for Datang to continue to be so strong, and there will definitely be challengers in the future, regardless of whether it is an external challenger or an internal rebellion.

This is not a general question, but a necessary question.

Therefore, do a good job in the reserve in advance, and no matter what happens, you can directly expand the army by tens of millions. This is all the confidence of the Tang Empire.

This is not only reflected in the reserves, but also in the reserves of armaments.

The Datang Empire purchases so many ordnance every year. In fact, some of them are not used, but are directly sealed after purchase. As for when they will be used, no one knows.

For example, in the strategic warehouses of several guards in Jinling City, there are ordnance enough to arm at least 100,000 people, ranging from light weapons such as Li Fu rifles to rear-loaded rifled guns, as well as metal shell bullets, grenades, artillery shells and other ammunition. And then to clothing, food and other military supplies, that is everything.

Moreover, these strategic warehouses are regularly replenished and replaced every year to ensure that the stored materials are the most advanced and fully available.

These strategic warehouses were all used by the Guards to urgently expand their troops in response to possible unrest.

What does this turmoil mean?

No one said it, but everyone knew that the Guards were guarding against the army and navy.

Although theoretically all the armed forces of the empire are loyal to the Holy Son of Heaven~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the army and the navy are directly controlled by the Holy Son of Heaven, but the guards that really belong to the Holy Son of Heaven are still the Guards. The guards are self-contained, and officers can be seen whether they are relatives of the imperial family or protégés of the emperor.

The Guards have their own strategic reserve warehouses, and the army and navy also have them, and the scale is even larger!

It’s just that the Army is not as extravagant as the Guards. Most of the weapons and ammunition that the Army had previously stockpiled were second-hand goods.

Although the performance is not good, but the number is definitely enough!

Even if the arsenal cannot produce urgently, Datang can arm at least one million troops just by relying on the existing strategic reserves!

What's more, the Army is also preparing to fully stockpile weapons and ammunition for rear-loaded rifled weapons, but the pressure of reloading is still a bit high, and it has not been done for the time being.
