Whether there were mercenaries in Chinese history.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty used a large number of foreign mercenaries to enrich the national defense system, the positive impact was the military strength of a strong country, and the negative impact was that the mercenary leaders became stronger and stronger, and finally a rebellion broke out (Anshi Rebellion).

At the same time, there is another emergency measure for the intensification of class contradictions caused by sudden disasters or wars - a large number of conscripts. Due to its strong economic power, the Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in Chinese history that adhered to the conscription system for a long time. The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were generally well treated, so much so that in other dynasties they often became the fuse of class contradictions, and in the Song Dynasty they became the release valve of class contradictions.

Whenever something happens in a place and the people are difficult to survive, ** recruits a large number of soldiers there, "for every person recruited, the court will have one more soldier, and the mountains and fields will have one less thief", which is also one of the important reasons why there were fewer peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty. Of course, one of the after-effects of this approach is "redundant soldiers". The total number of Song troops during the Qingli period reached 1.25 million, which is really an astronomical amount considering that the population at that time was about 100 million at best.

What's worse is that these 1.25 million people are all mercenaries, so the military spending has repeatedly created miracles. During the first year of Renzongbao, only Shaanxi was in Shaanxi, with military spending of 20 million in peacetime and 33 million in wartime! The huge military and other expenditures made the Song Dynasty's financial expenditure unique in Chinese history, and even such a huge fiscal revenue sometimes had the problem of making ends meet, so that it was ironically called "poverty" by some scholars.

However, we must see that such expenditures are not exactly "military expenditures", but to a large extent belong to the nature of transfer payments or social security, and they are paying the price for the country's transformation from an agrarian society to an industrial and commercial society. And this method of using the deficit economy to ensure social stability and economic development is also quite modern. If I were a person who was specifically searching for "China's number one in the world", I might even say that the Song Dynasty was the first in the world to adopt Keynesian macroeconomic control.

Of course, I'm not) Although this seems to be a small joke, I am by no means the only one who thinks that Wang Anshi is the first person in the world to carry out macroeconomic regulation and control, and I am by no means just joking.

I don't know if there were before 1840.

But after the drop I know some.

In order to suppress the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty hired a large number of foreigners to serve as instructors or directly participate in the suppression movement (it seems to be called the Musket Corps and then the Blossom Cannon Corps) After 1945, President Chiang hired some former Japanese officers and soldiers to counter the Communists.

Yes, Jing Ke is a microcosm!

Of course there is, where did Cao Cao's soldiers come from, and they didn't use money to rob them?

I have a question: Mercenaries must be foreign, who said that?

Hello, the answer to the above question is as follows, China does not recognize the legal identity of mercenaries, and mercenaries are not allowed to be recognized in the international community, and will not give their soldiers the rights they deserve, mercenaries are just a group of outlaws who run for money, and their status is not honorable. According to the definition of mercenaries in the Geneva Conventions, it can be seen that their status is obvious, so mercenaries who lack scum in China definitely have no legal status.

Foreign mercenaries shall not have the right to be combatants or prisoners of war. Ruler.

A mercenary is any person who:

a) Special conscription locally or abroad for the purpose of fighting in armed conflicts;

ii) de facto direct participation in hostilities;

iii) Participation in hostilities is motivated primarily by a desire for self-gain and, in fact, a party to the conflict promises material compensation that is substantially greater than that promised or paid to combatants of similar rank and duty in the armed forces of that side;

d) is neither a national of a party to the conflict nor a resident of a territory controlled by one of the parties to the conflict;

v) Personnel of the armed forces who are not parties to the conflict.

vi) Persons sent by a State that is not a party to the conflict to perform official duties as members of its armed forces.

It should be illegal, because if it is legal, then this profession will be very popular in Chinese society.

Chinese mercenaries do not comply with the sail blocking law. Article 4 of the Military Service Law of the People's Republic of China The armed forces of the People's Republic of China are composed of the People's Liberation Army, the People's Armed Police Force of the Chinese People's Republic Chinese of China, and the militia.

It is not legal in China, but Chinese can start mercenary companies overseas.

Chinese mercenaries are not legal. There are no mercenaries in China either.

China does not support mercenaries, except for the regular national forces, any non-state armed forces are illegal, and China will unconditionally eliminate them.

The mercenary organization of foreign mercenaries was also eliminated.

Mercenaries are soldiers who pursue money. Values are different. Definitely not legal.

How can there be mercenaries in China? The current military service system is a system that combines compulsory soldiers with volunteer soldiers.

Hired as a mercenary.

It does not violate the provisions of the law, but if a criminal act is committed during the mercenary period, it should bear criminal responsibility, and the specific responsibility to be informed needs to be sentenced according to the legal provisions of the law involving the act, such as the law, if the person intentionally injures the body of another person, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance.

Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China.

Article 230: Whoever intentionally harms the body of another person shall be sentenced to up to three years imprisonment, short-term detention or controlled release.

Whoever commits the crime in the preceding paragraph, causing serious injury, is to be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; Whoever causes death or seriously injures a person by especially cruel means, causing serious disability, is to be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment.

Or the death penalty. Where this Law provides otherwise, follow those provisions.

There is no such thing as a mercenary for Chinese citizens to work as mercenaries overseas, and there is no legal mercenary at all!

Illegal. 1. There are no mercenary companies in China, because mercenaries are illegal in China, and only foreign countries can legally cover them.

2. In foreign countries, volunteers are promoted to the service system, while China is a compulsory military system.

3. China does not recognize the legal identity of mercenaries, and mercenaries are not recognized internationally, and will not give their soldiers the rights they deserve.

Can you be expelled from citizenship when you are a mercenary?

Yes. None of the mercenaries are Chinese, there are Chinese as mercenaries, but none of them are Chinese. Mercenaries are not protected by international law, have no diplomatic immunity, kill people overseas, go to China, are pursued by foreign countries, will be transferred to the country where they are pursued, investigated for criminal responsibility, and finally must be sentenced to death.

That's all there is to the lawyer, do you understand?
