The moonlight outside is very good, and although it is relatively hot during the day, it is already cooler by this time.

This mansion is said to have been the residence of a wealthy family in the past, but later, under the chaos of war, it became the official residence of Feng Yi Taishou after several changes. To say that the design and layout here are naturally unusual, it can be said that Li Xin has been in this world for so long, and it is the first time he has seen such a mansion. Of course, this also has something to do with his lack of knowledge!

At this time, outside the study, there is a small garden, which is planted with a lot of flowers and plants. After walking around for a while, Li Xin found a stone in the garden and sat down casually, and continued to think about his problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, he really came up with a clue. Hurriedly returned to the study and began to write.

Early the next morning, he took this thing and went to see Wang Meng.

"That's a good setup! Moreover, compared with the current military system of many forces, there is obviously a difference, that is, the level of general, you have improved its status a lot! After Wang Meng saw it, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

"I feel something about it, too! If you look at the forces around us, each person's name is a long list, and if they bring a few soldiers, they dare to call themselves generals. In the long run, the position of the general will not be worth much. Li Xin sighed.

Roughly, when the troubled times come, a large number of generals and princes will suddenly appear in this world. This is true now and thousands of years from now. Look at the wall-riding factions who have divided the places, as long as they surrender, a large number of official positions will be sealed. Although it is said that this is a false title, the consequences are almost the same as inflation ~ inflation.

Of course, Li Xin didn't want his Huashan army to become like this! Especially since he has always felt that there is a good saying, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier! The establishment of the position of general was originally to motivate soldiers to fight bravely and obtain military merits, and at the same time, it was also to arrange the right people to make meritorious contributions to the country.

If the position of general becomes like a cabbage in later generations, then it will not be very attractive to ordinary soldiers. At the same time, the general system at this time was also divided into heavy generals and miscellaneous generals, which basically referred to generals with matching names and generals with no real names.

Li Xin felt that the position of general was very important and should be carefully granted to others. Therefore, in this restructuring, the rank of the general has been raised a lot. In this way, if you want to become a general, you have to rely on the continuous accumulation of military achievements. Moreover, the higher the name of the general, the more soldiers and horses under his command.

This time, the rule he set up was that there should be a team of ten people, and the chief and deputy captains should be appointed. A team of 50 people will set up a team of general and deputy generals, and the two teams will each lead a team of soldiers and horses, and at the same time begin to set up a logistics corps to be responsible for the logistics of the entire team.

Two hundred people and one lieutenant, the original position of the lieutenant was lowered, and a principal lieutenant and two deputy lieutenants were set up, and there were also heavy logistics troops, and the principal and deputy lieutenants each led a team of soldiers and horses. And at this level, basically speaking, he is a high-quality officer of the Huashan Army. The captain is in the seventh grade, and the deputy lieutenant is in the seventh grade!

In the future, a battalion of 1,000 people will be a battalion, and the original position of captain will also be lowered, and a full captain and two deputy captains will be established, each with a captain and a horse. The full lieutenant is the position of the sixth grade, and the deputy lieutenant is the post of the sixth grade!

When it reaches 5,000 people, it will be a school, and there will be one chief staff general, two deputy staff generals, and each will lead a battalion of soldiers and horses. But this is the general of the five grades, and the deputy general is naturally from the post of the five grades.

The school level is the most important military unit of the Huashan Army, and if it goes up, it is basically not set up often. Only when a major war breaks out, an army is temporarily formed, and a general is dispatched to lead the battle. In this way, it is possible to flexibly control the size of the army, and at the same time prevent the generals from sitting on the throne and supporting the army with their own dignity.

In the case of today's Huashan Army, there are 20,000 people after this expansion, and after the wounded are all returned, it will be about 23,000. Now this army is under the rule of Li Xin, so the official position he gave himself was that of a leading general! Although this name seems to overlap with the Jiangzuo court and other forces, Li Xin knows that it is different from others.

In addition to the leading generals, there are also titles such as General Long Xiang, General Yingyang, General Hu Ben, General Light Cavalry, etc., which are reserved for those who have made meritorious contributions in the future. Today, this position of leading general is the highest rank in the Huashan Army, and it is the fourth grade. And the other general titles are basically among the four grades and the four ranks.

For the sake of long-term consideration, Li Xin deliberately stipulated that an army of more than 40,000 people could not be commanded by a general who was not a general of the festival. This is the high position of Zhengsanpin, even if it is Li Xin himself, he has not yet reached this position.

Basically, he didn't list many positions this time, which was much less than Jiang Zuo and other forces.

But when some of these ranks are listed, there is hope. Let the people below know that as long as they have more achievements, the higher their position will be, so as to motivate them. He himself also has to rely on his military exploits to continuously improve his rank.

With Wang Meng's eyes, he can naturally see this, and he naturally agrees with it very much. After all, he has always advocated increasing the centralization of power in history, and of course he will not oppose Li Xin's practice of preventing problems before they happen.

"For the time being, there shouldn't be any major problems with this plan. However, these are all real positions, and in the future, when our territory is bigger and there are more civil and military ministers, I am afraid we will have to add some more honorary titles! Wang Meng thought for a moment and added a little.

"I understand what you said, let's start with this place for the time being! In addition, the civil service system you are responsible for should also be reformed as soon as possible to minimize those unnecessary officials, streamline the organization, and improve our work efficiency! What do you think? Li Xin nodded, and then said.

"I'll work it out as soon as possible, and I'll let you make a decision when the time comes!" Wang Meng nodded.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go and arrange the affairs of the army first!" Li Xin said that, and quickly got up and left.

After leaving the yamen, he immediately went to find Liu Xiaohai! Because the lower reaches of Weishui are already owned by the Huashan Army, the place where General Liu Xiaohai trains his troops is also directly selected on the north bank of Weishui.

The reason for this is not only because most of the recruits recruited this time are from here, but more importantly, because the territory here is vast, which is much more suitable than that of Huayin. After all, after more than a year of reclamation, there are really not many places that can be used for the training of the army.

"How is the recruitment of recruits going this time?" Liu Xiaohai's recruit camp was located in the west of Dali County, in the northeast of Chongquan County, where the terrain was flat and uninhabited. When Li Xin arrived, there were already a lot of people in the camp, and it looked very lively.

"Everything is going well, after all, we have good conditions to be soldiers here. In addition, we have won many battles against Fu Qin for more than a year, and our reputation in the hearts of the people is also good, so we have recruited more than 6,000 people! Liu Xiaohai hurriedly said.

"Excellent! By the way, would the captives be willing to join the army? I remember that after these battles, we have captured more than 5,000 prisoners! Removing some of these unqualified people should be enough for this 10,000 army, right? Li Xin nodded, then thought of something and asked.

"Don't tell the general, I've been busy with this for the past two days. Many of those captives were willing to join the army, after all, they didn't have a good opinion of Fu Qin. Now that the selection is underway, probably this afternoon, those captives will be transferred from Huayin! ”

"So, your army of 10,000 will soon be able to start training? Very good! Training, we must not relax, this is our biggest reliance, once something goes wrong, maybe we will have to plant on it at that time! Hearing this, Li Xin was very satisfied.

"Don't worry, general, I will personally grasp this matter!"

"Excellent! I have ordered that the next group of soldiers who have been rewarded for their meritorious service be gathered to you as soon as possible! When the time comes, you follow the list and let them fill their team as soon as possible! Li Xin thought for a while and said.

"If I can have those veterans to bring them, then the pressure on me here will be much lighter, and the new army will be able to get on the ground as soon as possible!" Hearing that a veteran was coming, Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, the sooner you get into training, the better!" Li Xin finally admonished, and then rushed back to Dali County.

Three days later, Li Xin announced the latest military ranks, and at the same time announced a list of those who had received awards for meritorious service. The battalions of the Huashan Army also soon received orders to send those named by Li Xin to Liu Xiaohai to assist in the training of the new army.

For a while, the entire Huashan Army's territory looked as if it had been mobilized on a large scale, which made the Fu Qin army on the other side a little nervous, as if they were going to fight at any time.

As for the civil official system, Wang Meng has already taken it out. After Li Xin read it, he deleted some of the official positions that he thought were unimportant, and streamlined a lot of positions, and then announced them. Judging from the current territory of the Huashan Army, it is actually an official position that can be awarded to the Taishou level.

However, because Li Xin and Wang Meng had some other ideas, they temporarily suppressed officials at this level and only granted official positions at the county order level. Of course, in fact, the deacons are still the two of them, and all the political affairs of those county orders need to be reported to Wang Meng for disposal!
