Thinking of this, Nangong Dun glanced at Fell beside him, and saw Fell frowning, obviously he also had this cognition. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for Kaihai and Maude? Kaihai doesn't know whether to pretend to be stupid or pretend, anyway, he looks happy all day long. Maude, on the other hand, is a complete idiot and doesn't bother to pay attention.

Juan didn't know what everyone was thinking, but he listened carefully, and was relieved to hear that the Oak and them, that is, the people of the second order, had all been made generals without territory.

He thought that according to this rule, he would be appointed as a squire with an annual grain of 100 stone and a monthly salary of 20 yuan. Although this is one level less than the subordinate general he expected, but thinking that he has not yet reached the level of Oak, getting the rank of squire is in line with his wishes.

Sure enough, as Juan guessed, the people in his sequence were all named squires, and the next sequence was the flag commander.

After the canonization was completed, everyone immediately paid homage: "Thank you for the promotion, and the ministers swear allegiance to the Qin family!" ”

Under the guidance of the internal guards, the retainers below the subordinate general retired one after another, and the retainers above the subordinate general followed Zhao Hu to the second floor.

As everyone knows, the real military and political meetings are held on the second floor, and at present, only retainers above the rank of general are eligible to participate. Therefore, many of the newly promoted generals climbed to the second floor with excitement on their faces, and they knew that they had already entered the power level of the Qin family.

After a room that could accommodate hundreds of people and had already placed hundreds of seats with cushions for tea, Zhao Hu and the others sat down in priority and priority.

Zhao Hu sat in the main seat facing the door, and Zhou Wen sat behind him.

Nangong Dun, Mo De and other general-level ministers sat in a half-moon shape facing Zhao Hu, and behind them were the generals.

After Zhao Hu took a sip of the tea brought by Zhou Wen, he said, "You are free. Since Zhao Hu had been discussing military and political affairs like this before, everyone was not polite, and they each poured water to quench their thirst.

"This time, I want to restructure the troops directly under me." Zhao Hu's opening remarks shocked everyone.

Maude, a retainer with a bit of a dog-legged tendency, immediately said: "The lord is wise, and the system should have been reformed a long time ago." Otherwise, as in the past, when you go out to fight, you will go to the barracks and order as many people as you want.

"It's nothing to carry out military affairs alone, once more than two people need to transfer troops at the same time, it will be very troublesome, and it will even cause chaos because the same soldier is hit at the same time. So the minister thinks that it is better to learn the military system of the Augustus Empire, right? ”

Nangong Dun thought in his heart: "This guy Mo De is really not an idiot in figuring out his intentions, he knows that the lord is from the imperial army, so he immediately proposed to change the current military system to the imperial military system." ”

However, because Nangong Dun also realized that it was best to learn the imperial system, he did not disagree because Maude agreed, but nodded in agreement and said: "What Lord Maude said is that the minister deeply agrees. ”

Seeing that the retainers nodded one after another, Zhao Hu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, it is not completely in accordance with the imperial military system, at least the same military rank, which cannot be implemented in the army at present." ”

The retainers all nodded when they heard this, and now the southeast peninsula is implementing a system of feudal vassals with the integration of military and government.

Once the Imperial rank is followed, I'm afraid that few people will be able to adapt to it, and if it is forced to be implemented, it will definitely cause chaos.

Zhao Hu said: "And in addition to military ranks, the establishment of the imperial army is also too large, there are more than 80,000 people in a division and regiment, and more than 16,000 people in a brigade and regiment. I'm afraid our officers won't be able to adapt to such a huge number. ”

The retainers nodded again.

In the past, the combat habit of the Southeast Peninsula was that the retainers would follow the head of the family with their private soldiers, and the maximum number was three or four thousand, and the minimum was only about a dozen people. Even the head of the family at the head of the whole army also entrusted the task to the retainers, and it can be said that no one has directly commanded an army of 10,000 people.

Although most of the forces in the southeast peninsula are now in power due to the head of the family, so there are more than 10,000 troops directly under the head of the family, but there is hardly one who can command 10,000 people like an arm.

Every time hundreds of thousands of people were in a mess, few were killed in the battle, but a large number fled.

Otherwise, do you really think that the Qin family is invincible in the world, and with tens of thousands of people, you can defeat hundreds of thousands of coalition troops?

It was not because the other side was inflexible in command, but because of the flexibility of its own small formation, coupled with strict training and generous rewards that made the army work together, that it defeated the coalition of hundreds of thousands of people.

Locke, Luo Fei and the other five retainers who had been confirmed to be infantry commanders nodded their heads fiercely.

Seeing that everyone felt the same way, Zhao Hu smiled and said, "So, I am going to use the battalion as a tactical unit." Five people are in a team, five teams are teams, five teams are sentinels, five sentinels are departments, and five departments are battalions; The full-strength battalion is about 3,000 soldiers, equipped with two full-strength auxiliary battalions. That is, about 10,000 people are a strategic unit. ”

"Well, my lord, this is really simple and clear, but this soldier refers to a special battle, so is the auxiliary soldier a peasant soldier who specializes in waiting for the soldiers?" Maud asked with a wink.

"The soldiers fought full-time, and the work of cooking, camping, laundry, repairing weapons, and cleaning the battlefield was entirely left to the auxiliaries. Moreover, it was strictly forbidden for the soldiers to harvest the heads and snatch the battle flag, because this was the work of the auxiliaries.

"The only goal of the soldiers is to kill the enemy, and the results of the battle are collected and calculated by the auxiliaries. Afterwards, the meritorious service will be distributed according to the calculation method of the first meritorious service in the ranking, and the meritorious service of the officer will be calculated according to the meritorious service of the soldier. One-tenth of the soldiers under his command have made a first-class meritorious service, and the chief officer has also made a first-class meritorious service. Zhao Hu said.

Zhou Wen and the others, who knew that Zhao Hu was using this method in Jin Wencheng, immediately nodded in agreement, while Mo De and the others were stunned for a while before their faces were full of shock.

They are not stupid either, and they can immediately think of how much combat effectiveness a professional soldier who does not do any labor and does not harvest the first rank, and who specializes in combat, will have. After thinking about it, no one has an opinion.

"My lord, how should the rank of a retainer correspond to the rank of an officer?" Nangong Dun asked.

Zhao Hu replied with a smile: "It's very simple. The battalion is composed of flag soldiers and flag soldiers as grass-roots soldiers, the flag is the captain, the flag head is the team deputy, the flag team is the team officer, the flag commander is the sentry deputy, the attendant is the sentry officer or the deputy of the department, the department is the department officer or the battalion deputy general, and the general is the battalion officer.

"The auxiliary battalion has a flag soldier as the captain, and so on, and there is no deputy. The attrition of the battalion is replenished by the auxiliary battalion of the same strategic unit. ”

"My lord, do all the soldiers in the auxiliary battalion have to be samurai at the level of Qiding? If so, how can you distinguish between the salary of the combat battalion and the auxiliary battalion? Fell asked with a frown.

Zhao Hu said: "It is not mandatory that all of them are above the flag level, and new recruits can be recruited to join the auxiliary battalion." As for the differential treatment, 40 percent of meritorious services and captures will be handed over, 40 percent will go to the war barracks, and 20 percent will go to the auxiliary barracks. I believe that this kind of differential treatment will make everyone eager to enter the war barracks, right?

"Moreover, an internal competition of the same strategic unit is held once a quarter, and only the top 3,000 people are selected to enter the war barracks, so that the people in the war barracks will not stay in the merit book and eat the old books, and the people in the auxiliary barracks will also train hard in order to enter the war barracks."

The retainers were all taken aback by Zhao Hu's generosity and handed over forty percent of the loot? Sixty percent for soldiers? As is customary, a soldier should snicker if he has a trophy. Although the retainers were silent, Fair, who decided his promotion and relegation based on his wealth, immediately dissuaded him.

Hearing Fair's dissuasion, Zhao Hu nodded and said, "Since there are different opinions, let's make a decision later." These words made the retainers stare at Fell.

Zhao Hu, who knew what the retainers were thinking, said with a smile: "Also, in order to improve the competitive desire of all troops, the troops are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D, with the highest grade A and the lowest grade D, with gold, silver, copper and iron badges as symbols.

"Regardless of the military rank, the retainers below the elder, that is, the rank of general, as long as the lower rank sees the higher rank, they have to bow to the other party.

"In other words, you are a general, and you are also a battalion officer, but you have an iron badge, and a banner on the other side has a gold badge, then you have to bow and salute and give way."

"Ah, that's a complete disobedience to the difference!"

The local retainers immediately jumped up, but they were glared at by Zhao Hu and shouted: "Are you so useless?" Do you have to think that you can only wear the lowest badge? "Shut up the retainers at once.

Nangong Dun hesitated for a moment, and saw that Maude's dog leg was silent, so he had to ask as a bird: "Lord, how to assess the fourth level of this unit?" ”

"What else can the army use to judge the high? Of course, it's a battle feat! And only merit can evaluate their rank! Zhao Hu glared and said: "Based on the enemy's head, the combat merits accumulated to the same number as the entire strategic unit can be increased by one level, and if you rise in the future, you need to double the merits to improve."

"Now the newly formed troops are all the lowest D-level, that is to say, they need to obtain nearly 10,000 combat merits to become C-level troops, and next time they need 20,000 combat merits to become B-class, and finally, to become A-class they need 40,000 combat merits!"

Fair asked very nervously: "Lord, this system is very wonderful, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be raised to a higher level, but how can you be sure that the troops will not kill good people and take risks?"

"The head of a samurai can be distinguished at a glance, and it is not difficult to distinguish even the standing soldiers, but the peasant soldiers, like ordinary people, cannot be distinguished at all."

A peasant soldier is a peasant who has just taken up arms, and it is almost customary to cut down the head of a peasant to report for a reward, and if he does not do so, he will be blamed by his subordinates and ridiculed by his colleagues for being a fool.

"The peasant soldier is not considered a meritorious service, my soldiers are all samurai, what is the use of seizing the head of the peasant soldier? Instead, it's a waste of human resources! Zhao Hu's fluttering words made the warriors and standing soldiers of the hostile forces fall in the future.
