Chapter XXVIII
Coming out of the city lord's mansion, it was already dark, and the pedestrians returning at night hurried through the alleys with lanterns, and the soldiers patrolling the city stopped from time to time to check on suspicious people. Most of the shops have closed, the lights are still gradually extinguished, and only the restaurants and brothels in the distance are still brightly lit and noisy.
In contrast to the hustle and bustle of the day, the huge city has gradually fallen into a deep sleep of night. "Get out of the way, get out of the way," a strong man with a knife in his hand scurried through the street, followed by a few people frantically chasing. Mu Tianxiang turned sideways and stepped out of the way, but did not intervene. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, and the night has its own laws of the night.
didn't want to go home, Mu Tianxiang walked alone on the street blankly, and when he was checked by a patrolling soldier, he showed his waist card and let him go. The night continues, with stars and the moon hanging high in the night sky. The bleak moonlight scattered around the corners of the city.
Although we have already had a preliminary idea for the reform and training of the armed forces this time, in the end it is an army of 60,000 people, and many things are intertwined, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve them for a while. There are still many things that need to be checked and filled, but there are no people who can discuss and communicate.
Coming to this world, stumbling all the way from a small mountain village, some of the original ideas and plans had to be overturned, the original family was alone, and now there is a small home and people to worry about. A lot of things have to be reconsidered.
For the guns in his previous life, ammunition and artillery and other weapons suitable for the army, in fact, there is not too much hope, one is the two worlds in different directions, although this world is not short of raw materials for making **, but this world lacks an industrial base. Moreover, the cultivation and exploration of talents have to start from scratch, which takes time, and it is difficult to see decisive results for a while. Second, the monks have a very strict control over this world, and anything or anything that threatens the rule of the Taoist monks will be ruthlessly exterminated, and it will be easily changed without any protection, which is the rhythm of death.
Useful, useless, Mu Tianxiang thought a lot. Before you know it, when the sky is white, the people in the city have already begun to move. Early risers start all kinds of busyness in order to make a living, day after day, year after year. The city gates, which had been closed overnight, gradually opened, and Mu Tianxiang, who had wandered all night, followed the flow of people out of the city and came to the military camp.
"Why are you sluggish, and you have dark circles under your eyes, did you overwork last night," Shangguan Meizhi, who was exercising in the morning at the gate of the barracks, saw Mu Tianxiang and made a fierce joke.
"Do you think everyone is the same as Hao Jun, I was in the City Lord's Mansion yesterday and was busy all night. Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"What's wrong with me," I don't know if Hao Jun, who came out of that corner, stopped doing it, and broke the news: "I heard my brother say that yesterday's meeting in the City Lord's Mansion ended in less than midnight. Where have you been for most of the night, don't talk about it if you don't want to, it's all men, understand and understand. After speaking, Hao Jun ** smiled cheaply.
I can't explain this clearly.,The more you justify, the more things you do.。。 Mu Tianxiang smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about it slowly in the future, go and call everyone above the platoon commander to the big tent to discuss matters!"
"Cut, your heart is empty," Shangguan Meizhi glanced at Mu Tianxiang with disdain and turned to leave.
Mu Tianxiang was full of black lines, smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned to enter the big tent.
In a few moments, the spacious tent was overcrowded, crowded but silent. Mu Tianxiang looked at the forty or fifty people standing below, this is the backbone of the current army, and it is also his future team.
Mu Tianxiang said: "Yesterday I discussed with the city lord the issue of the reform and construction of the army in the future, I want to hear everyone's meaning, and this is related to the vital interests of each of you, I hope you will think about it seriously." ”
"The plan this time is to set up a group army, under the jurisdiction of two armies, the commander-in-chief of the collection is the eldest prince Shangguan Qingyun, the commander of the first army is the second son Shangguan Qinghe, the commander of the second army is Shangguan Jin, the deputy commander-in-chief of the group is me and Shangguan Ping, I am in charge of the army's training, Shangguan Ping is in charge of military discipline and logistics. These new terms are also Mu Tianxiang's words for a long time, and he explained to Shangguan Haoran and his son and the elders of the army for a long time. They are all people who understand military affairs, and the reason is clear, and the benefits are on the table, so they have been recognized by the top level of Shangguancheng and implemented in the new army as a pilot project.
Shangguan Jin is not qualified to be the commander of the Second Army, both in terms of qualifications and cultivation, and the original agreed candidate is Shangguan Yunhao, the commander of the Ten Thousand Masters who has cultivated to the Xuan level, the son of the Great Elder.
But Shangguan Jin said: "You all bully me, I'll go to my mother to reason," the old men in the room were silent, and they wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads from time to time, and as a result, Shangguan Jin's appointment was unanimously approved, which was smoother than the appointments of Shangguan Qingyun and Shangguan Qinghe.
Although Mu Tianxiang felt child's play, but on the premise of not understanding the situation, he did not dare to speak easily, and Mu Tianxiang was full of curiosity about the mysterious woman who was said to be in retreat, and the name alone scared a group of tough guys in the army trembling.
"The configuration of the first army is 10,000 monks and 20,000 ordinary soldiers, but the military age is generally more than five years, and the configuration is relatively reasonable. Let's think about it. Mu Tianxiang looked at everyone after speaking.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Pastor, our situation is similar, our cultivation qualifications are not very good, even if we go to the first army, it is difficult to convince the public, so we don't consider the first army, the second army is led by Miss, and we have always been a soldier under Miss, it is better to go to the second army. After discussing it for a while, ** said.
"I also understand what you are talking about, and since you have made a decision, I will talk about the situation of the Second Army. Mu Tianxiang saw that everyone had made a decision and said.
"The Second Army is now a shelf, and the soldiers have to recruit themselves in the slums of Xicheng, and they can only recruit from there, this is a set plan, and it cannot be changed. And except for a few of you, there are no monks for the time being, and they will be supplemented if they have the opportunity in the future, but relatively speaking, the positions of your battalion commanders will be higher in the future, and the appointment of specific personnel will be decided by Miss. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Okay, let's do this first, you guys think about it again, and I'll communicate your thoughts to Miss Jihe later. Mu Tianxiang said: "**, your battalion commanders will transfer about 200 training pacesetters from the army and temporarily seconded to the First Army to be responsible for daily training. ”
Sending everyone away, Mu Tianxiang also fell into contemplation, this time Shangguan Cheng's steps are a bit big, and he has expanded so many people at once, and there is a lot of pressure on logistics and the replenishment of monks.
It seems that the second army is also built as a supplementary army, and the losses of ordinary soldiers of the first army are replenished at any time. This is a little different from Mu Tianxiang's idea. Originally, Mu Tianxiang was going to do some experiments in the second army to see if the army without monks could withstand the attack of ordinary monks, of course, the monks of the Tianji and the earth level did not think about it. It is mainly aimed at the Yellow and Xuan low-level monks, who are relatively low-level in the army.
However, there are some things that can only be thought about, from this appointment, it can be seen that although he is the deputy general manager of the group, it sounds good, but he has no military power, if it is possible, Mu Tianxiang would rather be a division commander, and the brigade commander can also be considered. Without an army under your own control, some things are inconvenient to do after all.
Mu Tianxiang walked out of the barracks and came to the headquarters of the general assembly in the city.
"Tianxiang is here, I just have something to discuss with you," Shangguan Qingyun saw Mu Tianxiang coming, and greeted him affectionately. ”
Mu Tianxiang greeted a group of military backbones led by Shangguan Qingyun, "Commander-in-chief." I had just come from the barracks, and I was about to report the decision of the original young lady barracks to the commander-in-chief. ”
"Don't be in a hurry about this, you will discuss it with your little sister later, decide for yourself, let's discuss the matter of the First Army first. "Shangguan Qingyun doesn't attach importance to the Second Army, maybe in Shangguan Qingyun's eyes, the Second Army is just a toy of Shangguan Jin, and the real army is still the First Army.
"That's it, that's it, the second army was released in advance, isn't there no one yet, and the little sister is not here now. Let's settle the affairs of the First Army first. Shangguan Qinghe also complied.
If Shangguan Jin was here now, these people probably wouldn't have said that. Mu Tianxiang thought to himself.
"We have determined the establishment of the two armies of the group army in accordance with the situation of the corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, with 30,000 men in each army and three divisions under its jurisdiction...... And so on. Military commanders at all levels and above the regimental level (including regimental commanders) "shall be reported by the army commander and finally determined by the general assembly, and those below the regimental level shall be appointed by each army on its own and reported to the general assembly for the record." Mu Tianxiang said his thoughts.
"Also, I transferred 200 trained pacesetters from the original Miss's private army, and temporarily seconded them to the First Army to assist in training, their cultivation is very low, and they are not even monks, I hope that the First Army will ensure their safety. Mu Tianxiang was worried that there would be a conflict in the training, and the monks of the First Army would be killed casually, after all, these were just ordinary soldiers, and they had no dignity in the face of the monks.
"Pay attention to this matter, we are a new army, we must have a new military discipline and style, all the previous ones that are not suitable for me to be restrained, Qinghe, you personally arrest it, if these soldiers who are transferred have any losses, I will severely punish them, including you." Shangguan Qingyun said solemnly.
"No problem, I will personally grasp this matter with Shangguan Haoyun," Shangguan Qinghe patted his chest and promised.
"There is also the clothing of the army, I think it should be unified, the current army clothing is varied, which is not conducive to the management of the army. Mu Tianxiang continued.
"What do you think? Shangguan Qingyun said.
Mu Tianxiang took out the draft of the military uniform and rank epaulettes he had drawn, which were all based on the Kuomintang military uniforms he had seen on TV as samples.
Sample, turtle, looking at the group of people staring intently at the pattern, Mu Tianxiang thought proudly. In the face of the mighty military uniforms, magnificent coats, and shining epaulettes, the group of people led by Shangguan Qingyun did not have any resistance, and they were deeply attracted.
Mu Tianxiang briefly explained the requirements for the wearing level of military uniforms and ranks and the methods of differentiation. Shangguan Qinghe shook his shoulders, as if he had already put it on, and laughed loudly, "I want this lieutenant general's uniform, is this a military uniform, the previous ones were all rubbish," Shangguan Qingyun Although he was still reserved and did not say anything, his eyes stared directly at the general's military uniform, and everything had been exposed.
......
When everyone calmed down, they discussed some other things. When everyone was about to end, Shangguan Jin came to the general assembly humming a song. She was consulted on the matter of the Second Army.
Shangguan Jin waved his hand arrogantly and said: "No one is allowed to interfere in the personnel of the Second Army, and I will decide on the appointment of all the people." Faced with this obviously unruly demand, the room full of people had no opinion and agreed.
Mu Tianxiang was speechless.
