Chapter 104: Integration
Fang Dongquan is just illiterate, but when it comes to the sophistication of people and the ability to fight for power and profit, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, and Wang Wenhua, the three people who read dead books, are really not their opponents.
Otherwise, for most of the past six months, it would be impossible for Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and Butcher Chen to firmly control the military power, so that Liu Bagou and they would not be able to interfere at all.
Even Li Xuan, the emperor and the Empress Dowager Bai, can only start from other aspects, Li Xuan is looking for a half-grown child to get the guards, and the Empress Dowager Bai is taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army to capture the Ming army and let Bai Yunqi establish a rear army.
If it weren't for that, I'm afraid they wouldn't have any people under them right now.
When these three people successively expressed the three opinions of 'cautious', 'thoughtful' and 'good change', Li Xuan nodded towards Bai Yunqi again!
Immediately, Bai Yunqi said: "The reform of the military system is first and foremost to determine the unified establishment, and the minister has a detailed establishment here, please read it!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan took it and pretended to look at it, why pretending to be it, because this fold was actually written by him, and he handed it to Bai Yunqi after it was written, and Bai Yunqi found someone to copy such a copy, and he naturally knew exactly what was written on it.
After pretending to look at it, he casually handed the fold to the nearest Liu Bagou: "Everyone Aiqing also take a look!" ”
Liu Bagou took it and took a look, only to see a lot of data listed on it, which made him a little stunned for a while.
But it's easy to say that he can still understand it, but it's not right to say that he understands it, because he can understand the words and sentences in it, but he can't understand what these words and sentences represent.
There is no way, although these things written by Li Xuan are not very esoteric and have no professional terms, they still hollow out all the military knowledge of Li Xuan's two lives.
And also used a lot of modern words, such as the word firepower density, Liu Bagou can only be understood literally.
After reading it for a while, Liu Bagou transferred it to Wang Wenhua and Qian Mengjiu to see, and these two people were the same, and they were stunned for a while.
However, after these three Wenchen read it, they didn't pass it on to Fang Dongquan anymore, why? Because everyone knows they don't know how to read.
At this time, Bai Yunqi just opened his mouth to explain: "The minister's part of the establishment refers to the establishment of the Guards side, and also refers to the establishment of the Pseudo-Ming side, and considering that our army does not have many troops, the following establishment has been summarized.
My Datang has a total of six armies, including the front and back, the Zhenxi Army, and the Guards Army, among which the Guards Army is the Son of Heaven's own army, which is not included in this reorganization. Therefore, the current military reform is mainly concentrated on the five armies of the standing army.
At present, the five armies have spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and archers, which are different in number, uneven, and uneven, and cannot be coordinated in a centralized manner during combat.
Therefore, the minister thought that these five armies should be integrated, organized into an army according to the branch of the army, and finally formed into a large army.
For this reason, our Datang should set up three teams of spearmen, with 36 people as a team, spearmen are the backbone of the whole army, and they will face the enemy army in wartime.
A team of heavy armor sword and shield soldiers, totaling 36 people, is the vanguard of the whole army.
Two teams of light armor sword and shield soldiers, each team of 36 people, fought for the whole army.
Two teams of archers, each with 36 men, provided long-range firepower for the whole army.
A team of 36 people was organized to provide logistical supplies for the whole army.
Each of the above teams includes one member of the team and one deputy member of the team.
There were nine teams, with a total of 324 men, which was exactly the same as the number of our standing army. ”
This time, Bai Yunqi was not fast when he said it, and it was easy to understand, and everyone nodded in unison while listening.
The so-called establishment and number of people mentioned by Bai Yunqi are actually similar to the current strength and various types of troops in the Datang Standing Army, such as heavy armor sword and shield soldiers, at present, there are only more than 20 people in the Datang Standing Army, and they can only form a team that is not satisfied with the formation, and no matter how much there is, there is not so much armor at all.
The same is true for archers, even if the three bandit dens of Jiguan Mountain, Black Tiger Village, and Huanggui Mountain are recovered, there are only more than 50 archers in Huangzhu Mountain, and there are no more, so they can only form two teams.
In the case of lightly armored sword and shield soldiers, due to the low requirements for equipment, a small round shield on one side of a knife is basically enough, but sword and shield soldiers have certain requirements for the personal bravery of soldiers, and it is almost hollowed out to be able to make up two teams.
On the contrary, the spearmen are much simpler, and basically a young and strong bandit can be filled, so there are the largest number of people.
As for the baggage soldiers, there are no requirements, and even young people can fill them.
This compilation plan was made by Li Xuan based on the existing bandits of the Guards and Huangzhushan, and its core goal was to gather the archers, sword and shield soldiers scattered in various armies, and then form a complete army.
After all, the strength of the Datang Standing Army is originally small, and if there are five independent combat units fighting separately, it is okay to fight bandits, but if you encounter a large number of enemies, and it is a regular army like the Ming Army, it will die very miserably under the head-on confrontation.
However, if they can be divided into nine squads according to their arms, then these more than 300 bandits can be turned into a whole and then fight against the enemy.
Such combat efficiency is certainly much stronger than that of small units.
Of course, this kind of organization also has its great shortcomings, that is, it lacks flexibility, and these 300 people must fight as a whole, and it cannot be said that dozens of people are separated to fight.
However, Li Xuan didn't plan to engage in any special operations, and their opponents were not bandits with only a few people or dozens of people, but tens of thousands of Ming troops at every turn.
His own troops are already small, and if he does not concentrate his troops to use them, but if he does something small and fine, it will be easy to be eaten by others.
What Bai Yunqi said, Fang Dongquan naturally understood it, but they were concerned about one problem, that is, according to this organization, then these more than 300 people would have to be gathered together, and everyone's subordinates would be mixed, so that the independence of their various armies would be broken.
Breaking the independence of the various armies, softening them together, and establishing a command system from top to bottom are also the important goals of Li Xuan's military reform this time.
After Bai Yunqi's words fell, Fang Dongquan and the others were no longer silent, but began to speak, but they didn't have any opinions on the detailed preparation, it was normal for thirty-six people to be a team.
They even put forward a supplementary suggestion, for example, under the first team, there can be six more troops, so that it is easy to manage at the same time, but also to create more official positions, so that the people below are easy to be promoted, and there is a head.
In addition to these additional opinions, they are more concerned about who will be the commander of the new army if the five armies are integrated into one army?
