越国临战体制下的经济与军队

The Economic and Military Combat System of Yue Kingdom

春秋晚期,位于长江下游地区的越国能够灭吴称霸,重要的原因之一是越王勾践在农业、手工业和商业等方面实施了一系列发展经济、增强国力的政策措施,并取得了成功。国力的增强,使越国临战体制下的军队改革顺利推进,从而增强了军事力量。同时,勾践采取了一系列措施加强军队的组织性和纪律性,以培养军人战时"好勇轻死"的精神。

In the late Spring and Autumn period, the kingdom of Yue, located in the lower reaches of the Yan-gtze River, rose from a small state to a country dominating South China. One of the important reasons is that Goujian successfully implemented a series of policies in agriculture, handicraft industry and commerce to develop economy and enhance the national strength. The enhancement of national strength enabled the smooth military re-form under the combat system, hence the strengthening of military power. Meanwhile, he takes a series of meas-ures to strengthen the military organization and discipline, thereby training soldiers’ sacrifice spirit in wartime.
