Zhao Hao felt that the establishment of the Song army could no longer adapt to the current combat mode of the Yuan army, so it was necessary to make adjustments to achieve the effect of improving the efficiency and combat effectiveness of the command system. He planned to adjust the establishment of the infantry army www.biquge.info change the traditional Shiwu system, and adopt the modern '44 system' and the '33 system' combined with the establishment.

The division is used as the basic unit of the infantry army to organize operations, and there are about 9,000 officers, staff, and soldiers at all levels. That is, one battalion has jurisdiction over four cities and directly subordinate teams, one has jurisdiction over four teams, and one team has jurisdiction over four groups, each of which has 10 soldiers. The capital has been changed to a basic combat unit, and the battalion has been used as the basic management unit. The battalion and above are regiments, and a regiment has jurisdiction over three battalions, and is equipped with a scout team, a personal guard team, a baggage team, and a medium ballista team. The three regiments were organized into a division, with a battalion of scouts, a battalion of personal soldiers, a battalion of baggage, a battalion of heavy ballistae, a battalion of heavy ballistas, and a battalion of cavalry.

The division-level command organ is composed of a commander in charge of the military and a marquis of the division as the chief military and political officer, with six deputies to assist in commanding and managing the troops. The division headquarters has six subordinate departments, namely, operations, staff officers, communications, military affairs, baggage, and supervision, which are managed by staff officers such as the military staff and the military affairs counselor, who respectively assist the two chief officers in managing the headquarters; The command organ at the regimental level has the commander as the military chief officer, the regimental marquis as the military and political chief officer, and four deputy positions, and the organ configuration is the same as that at the division level, and vertical management is implemented.

In the battalion-level command organization, the military chief officer is still the commander, the military and political chief is the battalion Yuhou, and there are two deputies. There is no longer a staff officer, only two people who join the army and the main bookkeeper are in charge of the baggage. The battalion headquarters is equipped with several signal soldiers and flag bearers to transmit information, and 10 members of the fire corps are responsible for the food of the whole battalion. There is one head of the capital, two heads of the deputy capital, and three sergeants are in charge of ordnance, communications and medical care; The chief officer of the team is the team leader, and there is a deputy position; The gang commander is in charge of the soldiers, and the senior sergeant is the officer.

This is the establishment of a standard infantry division designed by Zhao Hao, and they can be responsible for independent operations in one aspect, or they can fight in conjunction with other friendly forces, and serve as the backbone of the attack and defense of a theater of operations. Of course, they are still equipped with an army with mainly cold weapons, and he plans to gradually reequip various units after the new army completes its training and reorganization and gains experience, but the current training and combat methods are still the same, but the management methods have changed.

The cavalry was still an indispensable force for land warfare before the advent of mechanized transportation, but the Song army lacked war horses since the founding of the country, and Qiongzhou now faces the same problem. In the early days of the establishment of the Shuaifu Army, they did not even have horse hair, and only after the capture of Guangzhou did they capture a number of war horses, and were able to form several cavalry battalions, and then captured a large number of war horses in the Battle of Quanzhou and the just-concluded defense battle, especially in the defense battle.

Now there are about 10,000 war horses in Qiongzhou, and in addition to a group of horses used for post stations to transmit information and court officials to ride and pull carts, there are still 8,000 horses for military use. Zhao Yu planned that in addition to each infantry division with a cavalry battalion, the rest of the war horses would be used intensively to form a cavalry division. But these war horses are definitely not enough, but he still wants to put up a shelf, with bones there is no shortage of meat, and they can get war horses through war capture and smuggling.

Taking into account the future development, Zhao Hao built a very large frame for this cavalry division, and implemented the two-brigade and six-regiment system, which could be expanded on this basis through continuous supplementation, and finally could be split into two divisions and three divisions...... At this moment, it is necessary to cultivate seed troops and prepare for the establishment of a cavalry army that can compete with the Mongol cavalry, and the most difficult thing is still that there is no stable war horse to support and domesticate the ground.

Artillery will be a sharp weapon for Zhao Yu to defeat the enemy, so priority development must also be guaranteed. Based on the fact that in this defensive battle, the problem of insufficient artillery firepower equipped by each army was exposed, which caused the enemy to rush to the front of the formation several times, causing great pressure and heavy casualties to the defenders, and finally it was difficult to win with the assistance of the naval army, which showed that in the case of fortifications to be used, it was difficult for the Song army to gain an advantage on the battlefield with only the long-range firepower of each department.

Under the circumstance that the quality of individual soldiers is difficult to defeat the Yuan army, Zhao Yu knows that in the case of strengthening training, he still needs artillery support to ensure victory, so this time he plans to establish three to five independent artillery brigades and rocket brigades as an effective supplement to the long-range strike firepower of various units. Of course, the brigade was higher in rank than the regiment and lower than the division, so as to facilitate the operation of the divisions, and in terms of organizational structure, it was similar to the standard infantry division, but the strength was reduced.

Zhao planned an artillery brigade with two ballista regiments, a guard battalion and a baggage battalion. A ballista regiment consists of three ballista battalions: light, medium and heavy. The light ballista battalion has a repeating ballista under its jurisdiction, equipped with fifteen repeating ballistas; The other two were armed with twenty multi-purpose light ballistas; There is also a support corps consisting of a command team, a guard team, a mule and horse team, and an ammunition team. The medium ballista battalion is composed of three combat and one support battalion, with a total of 45 medium ballistas; The heavy ballista battalion was the same in size, with a total of fifteen heavy ballistae.

The rocket brigade consists of two rocket regiments, a guard battalion and a baggage battalion. Each rocket regiment has three rocket battalions, each with three battalions and one support. Each team is composed of four teams, each equipped with two rocket launchers, and a regiment has a total of seventy-two rocket launchers. They can fight independently as a battalion, or they can be used in a centralized manner, and they can be scary enough to think about it when they hit a salvo.

In addition, Zhao Yu felt that he had also walked into the strange circle that the ancients had walked through, thinking that no matter the rate of fire, hit rate, range, and power of the ballista, it was not inferior to the original barreled metal artillery, so he did not consider large-scale production and equipment of the troops when the body-barreled artillery had been successfully trial-produced. But he knew in his heart that with the improvement of the metal barreled artillery, the power and range would increase, and it would definitely replace the ballista. In order to gain experience, he planned to form an artillery battalion in the new army in order to collect data and refine the training model, laying the foundation for future rearmament......

The reason why Zhao Yu attaches great importance to the development of the navy army has changed from the initial need to save life to a strategic need. First of all, Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea, but it is close to the inland, both offensive and defensive must be supported by a strong naval army. Thinking further, he can expand his strategic circle with a powerful naval army, and the coastal areas will be within his attack range, and he can even threaten the enemy's hinterland by approaching the capital through the naval army.

First of all, through the water battles in which he participated, Zhao Yu had found that with the widespread use of firearms on warships, the form of water warfare had changed from close-range hand-to-hand combat in the past to long-distance non-contact combat, and the battle was won by striking the enemy's combat platform. In this way, the soldiers who were once the main force of the water war are in a state of idleness, and there is no practical significance except waving the flag and shouting.

Everyone knows that in addition to the unpredictable climate change, supply difficulties are also a serious problem. The soldiers on the ship not only occupy the limited space on the warship, but also consume a lot of fresh water and daily necessities. In this way, warships can instead carry more combat and living materials, enhance self-sustaining and endurance, reduce the number of shore replenishment, and improve combat efficiency.

Of course, Zhao Yu will not cut the soldiers, not only the number of soldiers is large, accounting for almost half of the number of naval troops, he plans to reorganize these soldiers into marines. In this era, in fact, the boundary between the navy and the infantry army was very blurred, and the infantry army was a naval army when it got on the ship, and it was an infantry army when it got off the ship, and there was no special establishment of the Marine Corps. The soldiers of the Qiongzhou Navy have been fighting with the ship for a long time and already have a natural foundation.

Everyone knows that the Marine Corps refers to the arms of the navy that are responsible for the combat mission of crossing the sea and landing, and in some countries it is called naval infantry. With transport ships or warships as the means of transport, they are responsible for landing operations from the sea or as the vanguard of large-scale all-out offensive operations in the rear forces. It can also undertake tasks such as amphibious landing, anti-landing, seizing reef islands, ferries, bridges, and emergency operations, and is specially trained to carry out amphibious assault operations.

The landing operation is arguably the most dangerous combat operation, and the attacking side must pass through an open stretch of unobstructed sea. The delivery of troops and materials depends on the landing ships, and it takes time for the landing craft to go back and forth, and the place where the combat materials are unloaded is a line (waterline), not a side of a continental war. Because there is no concealment at all, the soldiers on the attacking side are purely live targets, and once the troops are suppressed on the beachhead, they can easily suffer heavy casualties. Even if the beachhead is landed, the defending side can mobilize reserves from the rear, organize a counterattack, inflict heavy casualties on the landing side or even drive them into the sea.

The Yuan army crossed the sea this time because it had been unable to seize the beachhead, which led to the failure of the entire combat operation. This is the task of the Marine Corps, which is trained in amphibious joint operations and can land on shore land from transport ships at sea, including enemy cities or places occupied by the enemy. When cooperating with the land landing, it usually serves as the landing advance team, which first assaults the shore to ensure the subsequent echelon landing; It can also cooperate with the army to continue to undertake coastal defense tasks.

There is a ready-made force in his hand, and of course Zhao Yu can't let it go. Therefore, it was undoubtedly imperative for the soldiers to separate from the ship force and form an independent army. The number of soldiers disembarking from the ship will be about 20,000, which is just enough to be organized into two divisions, but he plans to still put the Marine Corps under the management of the Navy Division, which can be regarded as a branch of the Marine Corps, after all, they still need to rely on the Navy to complete the cross-sea landing and need its fire support, and the establishment will be set up with reference to the infantry army for the time being.

Solving the problem of dividing the navy, Zhao Yu was faced with how to organize various warships. At present, the Qiongzhou naval warships are divided according to the tonnage size, there are small boats below 100 stones, and there are also large boats of 10,000 stones, with a large span. Among them, the most warships between 1,000 and 2,000 koku are the most, followed by 500 to 1,000 koku ships, most of which are captured warships or merchant ships that have been remodeled into the ranks, and the standards are difficult to unify.

If we divide them according to their combat performance, there are not only turtle ships used for assault operations, but also rocket ships and gunboats specially used for fire strikes, as well as comprehensive large and medium-sized warships, baggage ships, transport ships, and hospital ships. In addition, there are special ships such as sentinel ships for reconnaissance and sea patrol, small boats for transporting personnel, and other special boats, in addition to their own giant boats, of course, this is only Zhao Yu's own division.

In this era, there were warships with different names, and the warships that were at the forefront of the battle were called "Xiandeng"; There are also narrow and long warships that attack enemy ships; There are red clippers that are light and fast like galloping horses, called "red horses"; In addition, there are double-layer boards called "sills" on the top and bottom, and the boards are set up on all sides to defend against arrows, and the inside is like a heavily armed ship with a strong sill. There are also the main battleships Luzhan, Assault, Ge Ship and so on. Lou ship, Ge ship are big war ships, in addition to the so-called bigger ship, Yuzhang Da Gang up on the palace, can carry 10,000 people. Of course, "10,000 people" may be too exaggerated, but 1,000 people can still do it.

Zhao Yu thought that it would be more appropriate to divide them according to their uses, so that even if they were needed for operations, they would be convenient for unified scheduling and training. So he called the warships with more than 3,000 stones, long self-sustaining power, long-distance sailing ability, equipped with ballistas and rocket launchers, and capable of fighting independently, as the Class-A warship detachment. In this way, it can be used as the flagship of a formation, or it can be used as a formation for far-sea operations on its own.

Ships below 3,000 stone and more than 2,000 stone are called Class B warships, and this kind of ship warships have many uses, which can be used as transport ships, firepower ships, and escorts, and are the main warships of the navy. Therefore, Zhao Yu mixed these medium-sized ships with two thousand stone and more than 1,000 stone of C-class warships with the same purpose into a transport detachment and a fire strike detachment. It can be used in formations as needed, or independently. In addition, Zhao Yu also organized the dragon boat into an assault detachment and an offshore patrol detachment.

Zhao Yu planned to formulate corresponding training plans for the different functions of warships, use unified standards and regulations for professional training, and then conduct composite drills with other warships according to different tasks, so as to form combat effectiveness, and during the battle, various warships can be selected according to the combat form to form a formation, instead of a situation where turtles and kings are on the same page.

Zhao Yu planned to turn the three water battalions into marine police districts, and in peacetime warships relied on each marine police district for training and berthing, and during the operation, warships were drawn from each marine police district to form sub-fleets of different sizes to go to sea according to the task, of course, the ship had to accept the management and command of this marine police district wherever it went. Next, Zhao Yu fixed the posts and ranks of various warships, so that there would be no confusion during the battle, and he didn't know who to listen to......
