Chapter 640: The Abdominal Case

The three old men in front of him seemed to be very interested in their proposal for military reform, but Zhao Yu understood that it was not easy for them to do this job, and the reason why they did not raise objections was more because their plan did not violate the interests of the scholars, and it seemed that the power of the civil servants had increased, and the suppression of the martial artists had been further suppressed, so it was difficult for them to fully support themselves on this point alone, and if they wanted to achieve their goals, they still had to come up with something real.

Zhao Yu first started from the current situation, the enemies faced by Qiongzhou are stronger and stronger each time, and there are more and more enemies each time, and if you want to restore the country, you can't do it without an elite army. And the Song army was able to block the enemy army at the moment, relying on powerful firearms, which is obvious to all. But now the armies are still dominated by cold weapons such as knives, guns, bows and crossbows. Therefore, military reform is to replace old equipment as soon as possible through methods such as reduction, reduction, and merger.

At the same time, it is necessary to carry out retraining of various armies through the change of uniforms, and establish command and establishment of relevant matters. Needless to say, the role of the navy in several battles, but it is not without improvements, due to the large-scale application of firearms on the warship, so that the form of combat has undergone many changes, from the past confrontation between the opposite side of the battle to a long-distance attack, then the warship equipped with a lot of soldiers has become a dispensable 'fish belly', but many warships captured in the water camp can only be idle.

The same problem existed in the infantry army, which was equipped with a small number of ballistas and rocket launchers during the beachhead battle, which led to insufficient firepower and exposed the weakness of the difficulty in suppressing the enemy's intensive charge. If it weren't for the fact that the infantry army occupied a favorable position, which limited the enemy's deployment and the concentration of troops, the outcome would not have been known. Strengthening the armament of infantry and firearms and increasing the number of artillery units have also become a top priority at the moment, otherwise they will certainly be in a disadvantageous position in the future land battles.

The Song army lost the sixteen states of Yanyun in the three hundred years of foreign wars, so that it could not obtain excellent war horses, and could only use the infantry army as the main force, so as to fall into the dilemma of 'winning and not being able to catch up, and being defeated and unable to escape', and gradually changed from strategic offensive to strategic defense, but they were faced with the Mongols, who were mainly cavalry, and it was difficult to win if they lost their mobility in the war, and the restoration of the country would only come to naught.

Therefore, Zhao Yu believed that the focus of army building is not only to expand the scale, but also to strengthen the reorganization of training and change of equipment, and at the same time to establish the organization of matters, and requires that a considerable number of non-combatants be removed from the army establishment sequence with the focus on strengthening combat units. In this way, the surplus number of troops and the saved military expenditure will be used to strengthen combat units, allocate new types of weapons and equipment, and promote the development of the troop organization in the direction of substantiation, synthesis, multi-ability, and flexibility.

In particular, it is necessary to redivide the armed forces, refine the arms of the armed forces, improve the proportion of the services, and establish a reasonable ratio of combatants to non-combatants, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the DPRK army. This means that there are still a lot of old equipment in the military's weaponry and equipment, and it is urgent to replace them, so it is necessary to gradually reduce the quantity of old equipment, reduce the production of conventional cold weapons, and increase the production of firearms, and retrain officers and men to prepare for the replacement of new weapons......

Zhao Yu's remarks made Ying Jieyan and the others nod again and again, they didn't expect that this battle would expose so many problems, and what the little emperor said was not a lie, if you want to improve the existing combat effectiveness of each army, this is the only way to do. And he is also a discerning person, strictly speaking, he just said that he only started from the underlying design, and saw that they had no objections, so he turned to the design of the organizational structure.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the recurrence of the situation of separating feudal towns, the military deployment of strong cadres and weak branches was adopted, most of the forbidden troops were concentrated near the capital, and only the Xiang army maintained law and order in the local state capitals, and the border defense adopted the forbidden army rotation system.

However, this system had collapsed at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and in order to cope with the new situation, Zhao Gou had to delegate his authority to lead the generals, thus once again forming a situation in which the generals were in charge of the military and political affairs of a place. After the situation eased, Zhao Gou wanted to take back the military power, rebuild the forbidden army system, and successively cut the military power of Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun and others, and it is said that Yue Fei's death was not unrelated to this.

However, the Jin army frequently moved south, so that Zhao Gou's idea of restoring the old system was not completely successful, and had to set up several military towns at the front to defend it, and led the troops with civilian officials, and continued this system until the end of the Song Dynasty, and finally collapsed again after the LĂź group surrendered to the enemy, resulting in the loss of the entire Jinghu defense line, and then the loss of the entire Jiangnan country. When I arrived at Zhao Yu, it can be said that the old and new military systems of the Great Song Dynasty have become invalid, although the names of the forbidden army and the guards in front of the palace have been restored, but they are also unrecognizable and need to be rebuilt.

There is also a debate between the DPRK and China about which way is more appropriate, but there is no distinction between the front line and the rear in this projectile land, and it is all nonsense. However, it cannot be said that the problem does not exist, once the campaign of restoration is launched, it will not choose a combat direction, especially after recovering part of the territory, it will also be divided and garrisoned, so that it is possible to form a new warlord secession, but this is also the most reasonable and effective way of fighting at present.

However, this will also cause disputes within the imperial court, Wen Tianxiang went to Jiannan Kaifu to take charge of the first day of the dynasty, and when he opened a piece of the world, he had actually planted the root of being rejected to return to the court several times in the future. He accumulated strength in Jiannan, made a huge noise, and established prestige, and the people in the court began to suspect that Wen Tianxiang had other plans, worried that he would usurp power and control the government after returning to the court, and finally pushed him to a dead end. Therefore, Zhao Yu felt that the opposition to rebuilding the military system in this way would be very loud, and it would be very troublesome to clean up in the later stage, and it would be impossible to reproduce the scene of killing the heroes.

Based on reality and operational needs, Zhao Yu felt that it would be better to break up all the regiments and gangs, abolish the entire command system of the forbidden army in front of the palace and the guards and pro-army, and organize the whole army into an independent unit equivalent to the current army or division. In peacetime, they are managed separately, and each branch of the army conducts training, and at the same time, coordinated training is strengthened, and the Privy Council organizes joint exercises for all armies. In wartime, according to the needs of the task, each army and division is organized into a group army or corps, and the imperial court selects generals to command the operation, similar to the modern modular grouping. If it succeeds, then it will be logical to form a war zone in the future.

A military unit must always have its administrative management system, but if this system has to manage administration and operations, I am afraid it will not be able to keep busy. In the past, the marshal's office was the center of administrative management and the supreme command organ of the government army, thus forming a structure with the army as the main body and other institutions as auxiliaries. In fact, the armies under the imperial court are not much better, they all need to recruit their own troops, raise food and wages, and undertake what the imperial court should do.

In this way, a situation has been created in which the army is 'large and complete,' and a military commander has to undertake all kinds of work, from food, housing, and transportation to training, management, and operations. At the beginning, Zhao Yu only had a group of remnants of the defeated generals, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and once the forces were scattered, they could not survive, so they had to concentrate their forces and dispatch them in a unified manner, which was also a helpless move. However, after the relocation of the Xing dynasty, the biggest change is that the management department is sound, the functional departments have been enriched, and the specific affairs have been managed. Now the conditions are fully in place to divest the day-to-day management and other functions of the armed forces.

In this way, in the future, it will be possible to carry out the division of functions and highlight the operational functions of the command organs; All armed forces can also change from only focusing on the local interests of their own units and departments to enhancing the concept of the overall situation and "playing a game of chess" for the whole army and the battlefield. It is necessary to change the relatively closed management of army building in various units and departments of the armed forces, which has been formed, to an open division of labor and cooperation, and to perform its own responsibilities. At the same time, the military in the past has changed from fighting alone and running society to a socialized guarantee for the integration of military and civilian forces. The military does not have to do everything like a society, and there are also some military facilities and institutions and non-combatant parts that can be streamlined to improve efficiency and combat effectiveness......

Zhao Yu then separated the non-functional departments in the army and transferred them to the management of the military department and other relevant departments, saying that the military and government and military orders were separated. Naturally, he knows very well that if the conditions are not met, or if there is a lack of a certain legal and institutional foundation, a political foundation, and a failure to meet the level of military management, blindly following the road of separating military administration from military administration and military orders will lead to confusion in troop building, management, and command, and will be detrimental to the army's management and operations.

However, the current system of literati in the Song Dynasty coincided with the modern state system, so Zhao Hao had the opportunity to implement military reforms close to the modern army, but he still took a lot of thought about what form to take. And when it comes to this issue, he also thinks of an American, who can be said to have made great contributions to shaping the system of the US military and improving its combat efficiency, but the lesser-known person is not a pure soldier, but a businessman.

After he became US Secretary of Defense, he brought the advanced management mode and cost accounting method of American enterprises into the US military, which greatly changed the appearance of the armed forces, saved a lot of money, and greatly improved efficiency. Although Americans also criticize this, some people believe that after being transformed by McNamara, the US military is more like a commercial company than the military, but it does greatly promote the scientific management of the US military.

In McNamara's eyes, in fact, the military and the locality, except for the difference in products, are very similar in nature, both are input-output issues, both must consider the input-output ratio, and finally both talk about cost and efficiency, and there is no essential difference between the military and the enterprise in this regard. Of course, he was forced by the situation to passively adopt the way of managing the enterprise to manage the entire marshal's mansion, but he did not do it completely due to the time constraints, and now he can use it for reference.

Zhao Yu knew that no matter what method he adopted to carry out military reform, he should first ensure the high efficiency of the core command system, establish a scientific and efficient leadership and management system, and reflect the separation of military administration and military orders in the organizational setup. The first is to hand over part of the administrative affairs of the army to the government, give play to the role of the imperial court and the military department, and let them be responsible for organizing and implementing them; First, the reform of the military's own management system, which involves assuming administrative management functions in part of the military command organs and handing them over to another specialized agency.

According to the principle of the main battle and the main building of the services in the theater, on the one hand, the operational command power held by the various services and other organs is transferred to the operational command organs, and on the other hand, the military administrative functions in the hands of the operational command organs are transferred to the services and other organs. In the future, the operational command organs will be responsible for operational command and the organization and implementation of large-scale joint military exercises, and the leading organs of the various services will be responsible for the military training and political work of the units of the various services under their control, and the military administration and military orders will perform their respective duties to complete the management and command of the armed forces.

After the transfer is completed, the military and political system will be responsible for the "pragmatic" part of military drills and weapons development, and the military order system will be responsible for the "retreat" work such as tactical planning. In this way, military training, management of township soldiers, logistical and technical support, military service, war mobilization, and battlefield construction will be separated from the army, and administrative affairs such as the promotion and welfare of officers in the army will be handed over to the military and political departments. So that the soldiers return to the army after training, and those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should have benefits will be benefited.

In wartime, the two are reversed between "virtual" and "real", and the generals of the military order system will exercise unified command and mobilize all forces, and all branches of the military will fully cooperate. At the same time, the scale of the upper echelons of the military region can be relatively small, and resources can be concentrated on combat units, so that the army can concentrate on fighting without distractions and will not be affected by other departments and affairs......

Ying Jieyan and the other three listened to the little emperor's eloquent talk about his plan to reshape the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, and for two consecutive hours, except for drinking a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, he didn't even knock a stumbling shot, obviously after careful consideration. And his thoughts are as meticulous as before, interlocking, without major loopholes, and have strong operability, so it is concluded that His Majesty has premeditated rather than a whim.

Since Your Majesty has revealed what he thinks and thinks today, the three of them also know that the little emperor regards them as confidants, which is a hint to them in order to seek support for themselves. But the more Your Majesty is like this, the more they know that they must be cautious, the military system is a major matter of the country, the foundation of a country, and it is extremely irresponsible for Your Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty to blindly accept it, so it is still necessary to consider it in order to check and fill in the gaps to avoid future troubles. As a result, they only expressed their consent with reservations, but did not express their attitude.

Although the three did not take a clear stand, they did not explicitly oppose it. Zhao Yu didn't think it was a pestle for this, and if he agreed immediately, he would be careful. But even so, he still said that he would play this matter to the Queen Mother after the year and ask for permission, of course, he also knew very well that this was just a procedure, and the Queen Mother would definitely send the proposal back to Zhongshu Province for discussion. The three people in front of him did not object, and if they got their own hints, they would definitely support them in the court meeting......
