…

During the period when Cai You, Wang Hao, and Li Bangyan were blocked at home and couldn't go out, in addition to accompanying his wives and concubines to harm some handmaiden girls to enjoy the blessings of all people, and educating his children to enjoy the joy of family, Li Yan mainly did one thing - military restructuring and army expansion.

The establishment of the Liangshan Army was very chaotic and did not belong to each other, and in the event of a war, it was very likely to form a situation in which each of them fought separately.

There are many reasons for this situation, such as the short time for the rise of the Liangshan army, the lack of commanders in the Liangshan army, the relatively scattered territory of Li Yan, and so on......

Moreover, at present, there are not many regular troops in the Liangshan Army, less than 100,000 (including the naval army), on the contrary, the reserve is very sufficient (not counting the more than 70,000 new troops trained by Yue Fei and others, there are also 50,000 or 60,000 reserves, and they are reserves with strong military skills that have been trained for a year or two. ）

In short, Li Yan used this time to carry out military restructuring and military expansion.

For this reason, Li Yan called Wen Huanzhang, Zhu Wu, Qiao Daoqing, Sun Jing, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Le He, Zhao Ding, and Chen Kangbo to help him with his staff.

Of course, these people only have the right to counsel - this matter is not trivial, and Li Yan must be arbitrary.

After repeated discussions, Li Yan finally decided to divide the ranks of the Liangshan Army into four classes and seventeen ranks, namely:

Generals: Generals, Lieutenant Generals, Major Generals.

Officers: Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major.

Lieutenants: Captain, Lieutenant, Ensign.

Soldiers: Private of the upper ranks, privates.

(The Song Dynasty martial ranks have a total of three ranks, seven levels, and sixty steps, which is too cumbersome, and Li Yan believes that the military ranks tempered by nearly a thousand years in later generations must be much more advanced than those of the Song Dynasty, so he directly uses them.) ）

Army Establishment:

Five people are a team (five people), and there is a captain.

Five soldiers are one tithe (ten people), and the chief is set up.

Three tithes are one charge (30 people), and the main and deputy are set.

Three charges for a team (90 people), set up a main team, deputy team generals.

The three teams are one capital (270 people), with a capital head, an instructor, and a deputy capital head.

The three capitals are one commander (810 people), with a commander, instructor, and deputy commander.

The third command is a battalion (2,430 people), with a commander, political commissar, deputy commander, and battalion staff officer.

The third battalion is an army (7,290 men), with a commander, a military political commissar, a deputy commander, and a chief of staff.

Several armies are the chambers, and there are metropolitan commanders, political commissars, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff.

The chief and deputy marshals above the box are not set up in peacetime, and Li Yan is appointed or appointed in wartime.

The number of troops is not fixed, and the number of troops, soldiers, and soldiers is generally fixed, but when it reaches the rank and above, there will be some changes according to the specific situation.

So so:

team, in about a hundred.

all, in about three hundred people.

Command, in the thousandth or so.

battalion, in about three thousand people.

Army, about 10,000 people.

The military ranks are:

Lieutenant General: Metropolitan Commander, Political Commissar of the Chamber.

Major General: Deputy Commander, Chief of Staff, Commander, Military Political Commissar.

Colonel: Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff of the Army, Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar.

Lieutenant Colonel: Deputy Commander, Commander, Instructor.

Major: Deputy Commander, Commander, Instructor.

Captain: Deputy Commander, Team General.

Lieutenant: Deputy General, Charge Zheng.

Second Lieutenant: Deputy Commander, Chief.

Private General: Five Chiefs.

Private: Ordinary soldiers.

The First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army formed the first box, with Lu Zhishen as the commander of the capital, Lin Chong as the political commissar of the box, Hu Yanqing as the deputy commander of the capital, and Wang Yan as the chief of staff of the box.

The Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army formed the second chamber, with Bian Xiang as the commander of the capital, Cao Zheng as the political commissar of the chamber, Qiu Yue as the deputy commander, and Hu Yanzhuo as the chief of staff of the chamber.

The Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, and the Ninth Army formed the third compartment, with Shi Bao as the commander of the capital, Deng Fei as the political commissar of the carriage, Wu Song as the deputy commander, and Guan Sheng as the chief of staff of the compartment (temporary deputy).

The 10th Army, the 11th Army, and the 12th Army formed the Fourth Chamber, with Hua Rong as the commander of the capital, Guanghui as the political commissar of the Xiang, Yang Zhi as the deputy commander of the capital, and Sun An as the chief of staff of the Xiang.

First Carriage Station: The front line of Lelang County and Taifeng.

Second Carriage Location: Jeju-gun.

Third Chamber: The front line between Zhenban County and Taifeng.

Fourth box station: Taiwan County.

Concentrate:

Each army has a general staff composed of 100 staff officers (graduates who have graduated from the lecture hall and the war case analysis hall) to assist the top commander of each army in managing the army, and a communication department composed of 100 correspondents (raising military pigeons, receiving and sending information) responsible for liaison between the upper and lower levels, and the branches of the army are allocated according to the specific conditions of each army's station.

(One hundred staff officers and one hundred correspondents, not fixed and unchanging, can fluctuate up and down depending on the situation.) ）

There are more than 30,000 people per car.

The commander of the capital is the supreme commander of the chamber and is in charge of the army's daily training and logistics.

The political commissar of the Xiang is at the same level as the commander of the capital, but he is in charge of political work, ensuring the purity of the army, and ensuring that the army will always be loyal to Li Yan - the situation of the Liangshan army is relatively special, there are too few people with political level, and the general qualifications are not high, in order to solve this problem, each political commissar and even each military political commissar has a political staff group, and the people of these political staff groups are trained and appointed by the Liangshan Political Department, and they are also under the control of the Liangshan Political Department.

In the absence of the metropolitan commander and the political commissar of the chamber, he can take over the command of the army, and is the third person in the chamber.

The chief of staff is the fourth person, but he does not have the power to lead the troops, and can only lead the staff officers to assist the capital in the management of the army, and only when the commander, political commissar, and deputy commander of the capital are not there, the chief of staff has the power to lead the troops.

There are 3,000 to 10,000 horse troops in each compartment, such as the second and fourth compartments and the naval army and amphibious army.

In addition, in order to ensure that the enemy would not take advantage of loopholes during the period of military restructuring and army expansion, and because Li Yan wanted to create space for meritorious promotion for famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, the First Army did not reorganize for the time being.
