As soon as this plan came out, the young master's confidant was shocked.

Not to mention that the army has gone violently and killed traitors and took the initiative to coup, even if it is the case that the Mohist family declares war, it will shock the world even more.

He asked tremblingly, "In this case, I am afraid that the Mohist family will go north..."

Pang Juan sneered: "Why can't you take the initiative and passiveness when you are good at using troops?"

"Now the princes gathered in Luoyi and said they were paying homage to the emperor. Could it be that the princes could believe it? He knew that this was the princes discussing the anti-Mo."

"However, the Mo family has been newly built in Chu for five thousand miles and was unable to advance north for a while, so they just thought they didn't know. If our army provoked, the Mo family would not move lightly, but would choose to declare war without moving troops."

"What the Mo family needs now is time. Within three or five years, if the Nanyang Jianghan has not yet recovered, there will be no one in the world who can control the Mo family."

"How can the princes not know? Therefore, the princes must take the initiative to attack, and the Mo family should just defend it. When the princes take the initiative to attack, they must use their troops together and advance several ways together."

"If the Mo family really had the ability to go north, how could he sit and watch the princes join? If he had the spare energy, he would take advantage of the unsuccessful alliance of the princes to attack instead of defending. No matter whether it was to defeat Han, Wei, Wei, or Qi, the princes would be unable to attack. Since he did not do it, he would not want to, but he could not."

The young master thought about it for a while, and felt it made sense, and asked uncertainly: "You mean, if this is the case, the princes must give up their differences quickly and discuss the anti-Mo matters first to come up with a result. And then, the young master is dead, and if the Wei State is not stable, the Mo family will threaten Qi and Han?"

Pang Juan was confident and nodded, "Chengyang, Wei and Qi. Once the princes were resentful, we would withdraw our troops on the name of Chengyang withdrawing troops to prevent the princes from interfering. Qiwei would beg us not to withdraw and would agree to any conditions."

"Daliang connects the enclave of Han. If our army makes an attempt to abandon Daliang, Han will fight against any prince who wants to continue to sever Wei."

"After this matter, the land must be cut, but with this struggle, you can cut less. Moreover, if you cede the land in such a situation, you will consider the overall situation and think that it is a great thing, rather than being oppressed by various countries."

"If the soldiers from Xihe enter the capital, they can intimidate those who do not know the princes. The princes dare not let the Wei State be in chaos at this time, and they will not cause any trouble. The matter can be done.

"If a battle against Mo is great, Han, Qi and Qin will be strong, which will be unfavorable to Wei; if a big defeat, there will be no one who can stop the Mo family from going north, and it will still be unfavorable to Wei. Therefore, only a small victory, a small defeat will be the best for the young master."

"We can take the opportunity to change and use veterans of Wuzhu as soldiers, Sima and Soldiers to rebuild the army. When the Mo family was in front of us, the princes could deal with the old nobles and concentrate their power. The princes did not dare to let the Wei State get into chaos, so they would not support those old nobles."

"The only way to revive the Wei Kingdom."

The young master said, "This matter is a big deal, and I cannot control it. I want to go to Luoyi immediately..."

Watching the young master's confidant leave, Pang Juan had other plans in his heart.

In his opinion, the road to Wei State can only be carried out like this.

He was in Xihe for a long time, and had been through the military formation for a long time, and read more books, which showed the problem of Wei Wuzun.

Thirty years ago, Wei Wuzhu was the most powerful army in the world, and it is undeniable that Wei was the first to build a pure infantry phalanx and the first to set the precedent for half-recruitment of troops and the government.

At that time, Wei State expanded from all directions. Every expansion meant land and population, and it meant that military merits could be transformed into real benefits.

Thirty years ago, the Wei Wushangs were still young. Once they were selected and trained all day, they could really fight five peasant soldiers.

A newly selected Wei Wuzun had enough land in his family. His brothers and parents did not need to serve, but only needed to farm at home. Everything in the family was earned by the military.

Some of the people who have made military achievements can also have slaves and farmers, so that the family can afford to support a real full-time soldier.

In addition to weapons, crossbows, etc. fired in the army, you can also buy better leather armor and bring your own horses to carry cargo.

At that time, there were no firearms, no gunpowder, and even powerful crossbows.

At that time, the archers were selected based on the village shooting system of villages and communities. There were not many archers in various countries, and the Qin State was still using old chariots.

The defensive counterattack and formation impact of the military soldiers who are trained in full-time are unstoppable.

However, after thirty years, various problems began to emerge.

More and more veterans are getting older. When they get older, their sons will inevitably decline in combat effectiveness.

The Wei Kingdom fought three or four major battles in 20 years, and they were defeated in all wars. There was no extra land or population to reward military merits.

The gunpowder and firearms on Si changed the situation in the world. The invincible martial arts soldiers in the bronze chariot war era have fallen behind in the new era.

A Qin musketeer may be just a farmer who has been training for a year, but he can also use simple means to kill a martial servant who has been trained for twenty years.

The emergence of gunpowder narrowed the gap in force between the group of farmers in Sishang and the full-time taxi class thirty years ago.

The same goes for Xihe.

These emerging military self-cultivated farmers or small landlords who are called military meritorious are too expensive. They are all too advantageous when they are cold weapons. Their service life is very different from the kind of peasant soldiers recruited during wartime training for several days.

But now, the expenses of a martial arts soldier are enough to support four or five soldiers who have been recruited to train military formations, and four or five soldiers who are fired in a fire with a firearm can beat the martial arts soldier.

The Wei State did not force the separation of the family, and the treatment of Wu Zuo was calculated based on the family.

Therefore, Wei often has a large family of more than a dozen people.

Because this big family of more than a dozen people supported a military servant, they did not need to pay taxes or labor. About four young and strong men were sheltered by their brothers who were military servants and led the serfs who had relied on military achievements and spoils to farm on the land.

Once you become a military servant, you do not need to serve labor. This alone is much better than an ordinary family. Labor will destroy a self-cultivated farmer family, and some people will not serve labor. This is the best way to merge land.

After thirty years of development, which of the old Wu soldiers at that time had a family of seven or eight hundred acres of land, seven or eight subordinate farmers, and more than a dozen families.

In addition to these, the weapons, armor, food, etc. of a martial soldier need about two young and strong laborers in the rear.

The reforms that year became incomplete, which led to the decay and unusable old nobles in Wei. The new Wu Zuzhe also began to become an interest group that could not be moved lightly. This is the reform dilemma facing the Wei State now.

Pang Juan has always had great ambitions and believes that if he has the opportunity to assist Gongzi, he can try to make changes.

The too fierce change was difficult to implement in Wei State, so Pang Juan thought of a way to change that would not move the interests of the majority of the ruling classes.

That is to first take advantage of the battle between the princes and the nobles to change the conflicts.

Since the foreign war was defeated continuously, the Wei State could not break the deadlock and could not allocate enough interests to satisfy both the new and old nobles, then take advantage of the dispute between the princes to kill a group of old nobles and use their land to feed the new military landlords.

These new military soldiers who were born in landlords were of military profession. When it comes to training and discipline, they were much better than ordinary farmers.

The reason for the defeat in Xihe was not that the Wushu could not be fought, but that the number of Qin people was too large, which made it difficult for the Wushu to fight under "fair" conditions.

Pang Juan looked at the wars over the past thirty years and believed that after the emergence of firearms, cavalry and infantry formations, no one could defeat twice the enemy in the battle, including those in Si Shang, either, unless the training and morale of the two sides were too different.

Therefore, he believed that the direction of the Wei military system was to transform the military soldiers from "shang" to "soldiers", from soldiers to officers, dismantle the military soldiers, and create a group of professional officers to replace those corrupt bloodline soldiers who were not in line with the times.

The martial soldiers practiced all day long, and their discipline and combat effectiveness were no less than those of the sacred men of blood. Moreover, compared with the orthodox men, these martial soldiers occupied relatively less land.

The Xihe martial soldiers were separated, and they were the foundation, as officers such as the grassroots sergeant commanders and Sima chiefs. Using the recruited peasant soldiers as soldiers, they could soon bring out a legion that was politically reliable and dependent on the royal power; a combat effectiveness was lower than that of the pure martial soldiers but could still fight.

Sacrifice to a group of old nobles, for example, taking advantage of this dispute between Prince Hu and Prince Suan, he defeated Prince Suan and his confidant nobles, and allowed about 5,000 martial arts servants to divide their bodies and become a new group of low-level military aristocrats in the Wei State.

These old men from military soldiers will become officers, enriching the newly built legions in the future, and recruiting large number of farmers and city handicraftsmen. They do not need to fight for why, but only the officers on their heads know.

With such a group of military commendations who will obey the monarch and rely on the monarch, then the monarch will have an obedient army in his hands and can suppress the other nobles, thus gradually starting to change.

These upstarts of military meritorious scholars who came from military soldiers can be hereditary to officers, obtain a good education based on their land and family wealth, and cultivate enough grassroots officers based on their family traditions of professional officers.

As long as there are enough officers, all kinds of people can be trained into qualified troops who listen to the sound of drums and are not afraid of bronze cannons, and transform Wei Wuzhe from expensive professional soldiers to a new army of cheap recruits and expensive grassroots officers.

Give newcomers from the military masters certain privileges to make them loyal.

He used the military soldiers as grassroots officers to train the new army and suppress the old nobles.

Without major changes, the old prize was forced to provide troops and a certain amount of military expenditure.

On the premise that the old people are not strong in the fundamental interests, rebuilding a new army with combat effectiveness can basically guarantee, and the number is far better than that of the Wuzhu.

If you reward soldiers, you will not reward soldiers, because if you reward soldiers, the Wei State's family's wealth will not be rewarded at all, because even if you reward the land of the new Wushu soldiers, you can only cut out some of the meat of the old nobles.

Pang Juan's military reform concept was based on the military system of Si Shang, but it was different. After all, the two sides had different economic foundations and great national strength.

But one thing is clear that Pang Juan is very clear that there is also a group of "soldiers" on the Si side, namely those professional soldiers and professional officers. They are the basic guarantee of combat effectiveness. However, the Wei State cannot learn things like Xuanyi Department and Mohist organizations, so they can only learn this method of mixing professional soldiers and recruiting soldiers.

However, the professional soldiers on Si Shang received wages, industrial and commercial profits, taxes and cheap food in Si Shang could ensure that the money paid was enough for the professional soldiers' lives.

The Wei State cannot do it and cannot afford it. It can only use land instead of money. Because if you want to replace land with money, it requires developed industry and commerce. The Wei State cannot do this, so it can only drink poison to quench thirst and release land and replace it with duty-free service.

Looking at the world, Pang Juan felt that his military reform strategy was more similar to that of Qi, and he also made some soldiers hereditary officers, and the interests of the war were closely related to them. However, Qi was a complete set of economic and military changes. The officers and nobles with the surname "Xuanyuan" were not comparable to those of the military soldiers' land and population control, and the economic model was completely different. Because Qi was close to Si Shang, the system of serfs and peasants could be deepened, so that those officers and nobles could benefit, sell grain crops to benefit, and have cheap farmers trapped in the fiefdom as soldiers.
