Chapter 034: Implement the Legion System

"Master Hou's strategy is very good!" Chen Qiyu had a look of approval on his face, as if he had thought of something deep, and then continued: "In the Donghai Town Army, the implementation of this kind of rank promotion mechanism can not only stabilize the belligerent spirit of the soldiers, but also better establish a command system. ”

As the commander of Donghai Town, the most important place in the four offices, Chen Qiyu's experience can be described as rich, and the tempering he has endured is also unimaginable to ordinary people.

Under the conscious guidance and cultivation of Zhao Zongwu, Chen Qiyu continued to absorb knowledge and make continuous self-improvement, and now he can sit firmly in the first position of the General Staff Department, relying entirely on his own ability.

Donghai Town has always valued talent and neglected qualifications, and if you want to get an official position here, unless you have the ability yourself, you can't get it at all.

But Chen Qiyu praised it, but expressed the worry in his heart: "But the implementation of the rank promotion mechanism, the Donghai Town army will face a problem, if this problem cannot be solved, then the rank promotion mechanism will become a tasteless and regrettable chicken ribs!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing Chen Qiyu's answer, Zhao Zongwu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What does Yuxuan mean by this?" Speak out about your concerns. ”

I thought that no one would be able to think of the innovation of my army, but now it seems that I really underestimate the ancients!

Fighting side by side for a long time has already made Zhao Zongwu and Chen Qiyu have deep emotions, and the confrontation in the past is just a joke today.

After hearing this, Chen Qiyu paused for a moment, bowed and said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the implementation of the rank promotion mechanism can indeed meet the existing needs of the soldiers in Donghai Town, and even the follow-up needs of the future conquest of Jiannu, but this is different from the existing leaders in Donghai Town.

Logically speaking, both have the rank of colonel, and the two generals are in charge of one department, but one has 3,000 soldiers and the other has 2,000 soldiers. ”

Nowadays, in the Donghai Town Army, it is used as a common military position in the Ming Army, with deputy commanders, staff generals, deputy staff generals, guerrillas, deputy guerrillas, etc.

However, the number of soldiers and horses commanded by this kind is an approximate number, which is not fixed, and the range up and down is very large, if the rank promotion mechanism is implemented, but the essence of the commander is not reformed, then it will really become the approximate number in Chen Qiyu's mouth.

"Haha......" After listening to Chen Qiyu's answer, Zhao Zongwu couldn't help laughing.

His smile didn't matter, which made everyone present suspicious.

Could it be that Director Chan said something wrong?

Especially Chen Qiyu's little heart, it was beating even more.

But then Zhao Zongwu's answer surprised everyone.

"Yuxuan, you said it well! I didn't expect Ben Hou to think about things for a long time, and you made it directly clear by your analysis, Ben Hou really didn't misunderstand you! Zhao Zongwu praised without hesitation.

But this answer also made everyone present sigh.

Boss, don't you dare not pant so much!

It's really scary.

Zhao Zongwu didn't care about this, and continued: "After clarifying the rank promotion mechanism, Ben Hou has been thinking about whether the establishment system of the army in Donghai Town should be fixed, standardized, and clear!"

Until the end of this battle, it was clear in Ben Hou's mind that the army of Donghai Town, whether it was the army or the navy, must have a uniform army establishment that will be carried out to the end! ”

In this large-scale campaign with Jiannu, Zhao Zongwu made it clear in his heart that if he wanted to truly win the war, he wanted to implement the absolute implementation of military orders, and a clear army establishment and a clear military rank system were the fundamental guarantees to ensure the absolute implementation of all this.

"According to the current military system set by the Donghai Town Army, with the deputy commander as the commander of a division of soldiers and horses, there are either internal generals, or indefinite generals, or increase the number of guerrillas, or delete guerrillas, and the soldiers and horses that seem to be the same in size actually have a big gap internally, which also brings great inconvenience to the subsequent outbreak of war.

We are all engaged in warfare, and this is a very important criterion for grasping the precision of the soldiers and horses under our command to formulate reasonable tactics.

In this battle to defend Donghai Town, Ben Hou's biggest feeling is chaos!

Although it is said that our Donghai Town finally won the victory, this victory was finally achieved based on perfect firearms suppression, powerful raid capabilities, and a tragic battle loss ratio. ”

As he spoke, the smile on Zhao Zongwu's face disappeared and was replaced by seriousness.

Zhao Zongwu is right, although Donghai Town has won the final victory this time, it has also paid a heavy price in the process.

Unless it was Jiannu who counterattacked again, Donghai Town would never gather a large army to start a war, because strength no longer allowed them to do so.

After sorting out his mood, Zhao Zongwu said solemnly: "Therefore, Benhou must standardize the army establishment system under the command of Donghai Town to ensure that every soldier in Donghai Town will not die in battle for no reason!"

Since the armed forces need to strictly implement the rules, it is the most basic and fundamental core to make clear that the armed forces have their own establishments.

Previously, due to various reasons, Donghai Town's army did not strictly enforce the proper rules, but after this bloody battle, Ben Hou clearly realized in his heart that if he could not strictly implement his own rules, then Donghai Town would not be far from the road of corruption. ”

Set the basic style, clarify the line of defense of the struggle, and ensure the strategic goal, through a series of narrations, Zhao Zongwu made his will clear to everyone present.

He was resolute in promoting the reform of the army in Donghai Town.

Thanks to the beginning of his creation of the army, he consciously laid a solid foundation, from cultivating the military heart, cultivating the military soul, establishing military regulations, and clarifying the military system, this step by step, all kinds of vices that once appeared in the Ming army were stifled, and the family system that destroyed the foundation of the army was completely uprooted, coupled with a hearty victory, and finally made the Donghai Town army have today's combat effectiveness and obedience!

"I won't talk much nonsense, from now on, the army of Donghai Town will abandon the original military system and implement and implement the corps system." Looking at everyone present, Zhao Zongwu said in a firm tone.

Combined with the existing military system of the Ming Dynasty and drawing on the military establishment of later generations, Zhao Zongwu developed a new military system.

According to the standards he formulated, the corps has a temporary establishment of more than 12,000 officers and men, with 1 corps commander, 1 corps propaganda envoy, and 2 corps commanders.

The main combat force under the jurisdiction of the corps is a battalion according to the current Ming military system, with a battalion of 2,000 soldiers, and its subordinate organization is divided into four levels: division, standard, team and tithe. (According to the modern military system, they correspond to regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads.) )

Directly subordinate units: the Military Affairs Department, the General Staff Department, the Security Department, the Communications Department, the Logistics Support Department, and the Medical Department, the purpose is to make the legion have super combat effectiveness!

Among them, the Military Affairs Department and the General Staff Department have the heaviest tasks and the greatest powers!

If the legion commander, the legion propaganda envoy, and the corps commander are the brain, eyes, and ears of the legion respectively, then the military affairs department and the staff department are the two main arteries, and with their existence, the legion can form a complete whole!

The Military Affairs Department is more related to day-to-day affairs, and the General Staff Department is more strategic guidance.

As the main combat force under the jurisdiction of the legion, its responsibility is to fight, fight with Jiannu, and fight on the battlefield with all possible threatened enemies, and further clarify the status of the legions under the command of Donghai Town as the main force.

According to the current stage, the five main combat battalions are divided into infantry battalions and cavalry battalions, which can be divided into infantry regiments and cavalry regiments according to the different corps systems, of which the infantry regiment has 4 infantry battalions and 1 cavalry battalion, and the cavalry corps has 2 cuirassier battalions, 2 dragoon battalions, and 1 light cavalry battalion.

According to the current situation, the Donghai Town Army tentatively has six corps, but at the same time, because Liaodong has been under the jurisdiction of Zhao Zongwu from now on, the corresponding corps will be added according to the actual control of Liaodong.

After listening to Zhao Zongwu's description of the corps system, coupled with the clearly subdivided positions and ranks, the army of Donghai Town moved towards the road of professionalism and regularization for the first time.

If the Donghai Town Army can complete the above reorganization as soon as possible, then it will definitely be a change in terms of future combat effectiveness.

No one can imagine what kind of changes the Donghai Town Army will experience in the future, and what kind of collision it will have when it encounters the Jiannu army again......
