Disadvantages of the recruitment system

1. The army's soldiers are getting worse and worse, and finally it becomes a container for social garbage. Many hooligans and local ruffians will join the army when they are cornered. Over time, the combat effectiveness of the army will decline.

Although the society has been stabilized to a certain extent, this kind of soldier has neither fighting capacity nor fighting will, but it is a drag on the team. For example, when the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were prosperous, the country was rich and strong, and there were no major disputes outside, so the training of the army was relaxed and the combat effectiveness decreased significantly. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the foreigners' cannons were opened to the outside world, the Eight Banners had no backhand.

2. The recruitment system has turned soldiers into occupations where they are paid for food, and professional soldiers are completely isolated from ordinary people. They lack practical experience in production and life, which can easily lead them to indulge in force. Once the military discipline is relaxed, professional soldiers will disturb the people and become bullies. When there is chaos, professional soldiers will become warlords and robbers, harming one side.

3. Recruitment system will make soldiers lose their sense of obligation and honor. For example, in the Song Dynasty, it was well known that military commanders were in an underground position, but being a soldier was even more contemptuous. What "thieves with troops" in "Water Margin" means that criminals are sent to serve in marginal areas, which is actually swearing. The army is the place where prisoners stay, and "sending them to exile" is the best embodiment.
