Chapter 172: Sun Chuanting

In order to allow more soldiers of the New Army to have actual combat experience, Zhu Youzhen set a three-month rotation system for the New Army remaining in Guizhou.

In this way, we will not only be able to train more new troops, but also enable the new army in Guizhou to maintain its vigorous combat effectiveness all the time.

Moreover, Zhu Youzhen also planned to extend this system of rotational training and rotational garrisoning of the army to the nine borders, so as to change the tendency of the nine border armies to become warlords.

But this system is not easy to promote, and it is contrary to the nine-sided garrison system of the nature of the military tun formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang before, and the low-level officers and soldiers may support it, but the upper-level officers will definitely oppose it.

At present, the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen's plan can only be postponed indefinitely.

Although troops had been recruited three times in the past two years, the number was still too small to deal with small-scale conflicts, but a large-scale campaign like resisting tens of thousands or even 100,000 Tartars entering the customs was a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, this time the new army recruited 5,000 people at one time.

Excluding the special arms in the areas of logistical supply, medical care, and engineering guidance, the new army after recruitment should be able to reach more than 10,000 soldiers.

10,000 soldiers of the new army and the original old Ming army should be able to fight a battle of less than 50,000 people with the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry.

As a matter of fact, as far as the new army is concerned, such as baggage troops, engineering troops, and other branches of the army, they can also go to the battlefield to respond to emergencies in an emergency, and according to Lu Xiangsheng's training, their combat effectiveness will definitely be stronger than that of the old-style army.

However, Zhu Youzhen has always adhered to the idea of building the army through modernization, allowing professional people to do professional things, and good logistical supplies are also the guarantee for an army to maintain its vigorous combat effectiveness.

However, after another batch of new troops were recruited, Lu Xiangsheng put forward an opinion in his letter: there are too few senior generals.

The general structure of the new army is divided into senior officers, middle-level officers, lower-level officers and low-level non-commissioned officers.

Most of the low-level non-commissioned officers came from the first batch of 3,000 recruits, and performed well in peacetime training and counterinsurgency in Guizhou.

Lower-level officers are generally at the company and platoon levels, some of them are newly recruited martial arts students, and the other part are from non-commissioned officers who have distinguished themselves in both training and actual combat.

Middle-level officers are generally at the battalion and regimental level, and basically they are from the first batch of martial arts students who entered the school, and most of them are battalion-level officers, and there are a few temporary acting regiment-level officers with outstanding performance.

Because the new army has been in the army for too short a time and has not undergone large-scale combat baptism, most of the officers who came from martial arts have stopped at the battalion level, and a small number of outstanding performers have also temporarily served as regimental officers.

And at the higher division and brigade level, there are no officers.

At present, there is only one high-ranking officer general, Lu Xiangsheng, and there is a very serious shortage of officers above the regimental level.

After recruitment, the new army of more than 15,000 people was divided into two divisions according to the army structure formulated by Zhu Youzhen, and Lu Xiangsheng served by himself from brigade commander to army commander.

In order to avoid difficulties in command, Lu Xiangsheng often held meetings at the regimental level, and Lu Xiangsheng also put forward many opinions on this, but Zhu Youzhen insisted that officers should be selected from actual combat, and that officers who had not gone through actual combat should not hold posts above the regimental level, and that their posts should be promoted step by step.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want this to happen to this young new army, so the officers above the regimental level are currently blank.

However, in order to alleviate Lu Xiangsheng's pressure, Zhu Youzhen recruited another talent for him.

Sun Chuanting, whose name is Boya, is now six years old Chinese New Year's Eve, a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and a person from Zhenwuwei in Daizhou, Shanxi.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the first official Yongcheng County Order, the early years of the Apocalypse entered the Beijing Division, and the Ministry of Officials was appointed to inspect the seal, and he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship, and the eunuch party was in trouble, so he abandoned the official and returned to his hometown.

For Sun Chuanting, who left the Ming Dynasty in history, after Zhu Youzhen eradicated Wei Zhongxian, he thought of replying, but was rejected by Sun Chuanting.

Seeing that people really didn't want to go out of the mountain, Zhu Youzhen didn't force it, mainly because the new army was small at that time, and it was enough to have Lu Xiangsheng.

At this time, the scale of the new army was further expanded, and Lu Xiangsheng already seemed a little alone, so Zhu Youzhen remembered Sun Chuanting again.

For Sun Chuanting's generals, Zhu Youzhen of later generations still heard a lot, and the example of defeating the peasant army Gao Yingxiang and killing Gao Yingxiang in the original history is enough to show that he has the demeanor of a famous general.

Moreover, Sun Chuanting, like Lu Xiangsheng, was a natural general, both of whom were born as civil officials, and did not receive any formal military training before being ordered to lead the troops to quell the rebellion or resist the Tatars.

Basically, it's the kind that reads a few military books and can lead the troops when you get started.

For this kind of gifted talent, Zhu Youzhen must be reused, and he threw an olive branch early, but he didn't expect Sun Chuanting to buy it, which really made Zhu Youzhen's heart a lot colder.

But Sun Chengzong, who refused the revival of the Son of Heaven, was also very uncomfortable in the past two years, he was the head of the Ministry of Officials when he resigned, and he was also an official position from the sixth grade, so he naturally felt that the Son of Heaven was not sincere.

Moreover, Sun Chuanting is a scholar who adheres to the feudal ideology, and he still wants to uphold the etiquette of a scholar who adheres to the edict of the Son of Heaven, and it is best to achieve a good story.

Sun Chuanting is upright in nature, and since the Son of Heaven has not recruited again, he can only continue to raise hope in Xiangzi.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know Sun Chuanting's thoughts, thinking that Sun Chuanting really didn't want to go out of the mountain, after all, when Han Yi and Sun Chengzong were restored, they didn't twist.

However, this time the new army is really short of people, and the shadow of his own change has been hanging over Zhu Youzhen's head, so Zhu Youzhen has to recruit Sun Chuanting no matter what.

It was precisely Sun Chuanting who really couldn't understand what this new genius thought, in case he refused, it would be a joke if he waited for another two years.

Moreover, in the two years since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been a new one, except for the eunuchs to punish corrupt officials, the north is based on the Tatars, and the south is in rebellion, sweeping away the habits of poverty and weakness in the previous dynasty, and it is really a generation of heroes.

Sun Chuanting looked at the thriving color above the court, and his eyes were really hot, and he had long wanted to return to Jingshi to continue to shine.

Therefore, as soon as the holy decree of recovery arrived, Sun Chuanting rushed to the capital non-stop.

To Sun Chuanting's surprise, on the day Sun Chuanting entered Beijing, Zhu Youzhen personally summoned him, and he was the only one.

According to Sun Chuanting's original intention, as a petty official from the sixth grade, at most, he would thank the Son of Heaven for his kindness at the court meeting, and then he would go back to work in his original unit.

And according to Sun Chuanting's memory of participating in the Great Dynasty Meeting before, he had absolutely no hope of entering the Imperial Palace, and it was very likely that Yaoyao would end with a bow outside the Imperial Gate.

Even sitting on the throne, the Son of Heaven could not even see his form, so he sent him away.
