Everyone understands that the army cannot fall into the hands of Gao Fangping, including Gao Fangping himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kodaka was at all times like a radical butcher, waiting to disembowel, reform and reorganize the army.

Since Tiangong was not beautiful and could not enter the Western Xia, Gao Fangping's reform of the Northwest Front Army still began vigorously.

Of course, other civil servants and bureaucrats can't do this casually, but now Gao Fangping, who won the battle of Song and Xia, has the prestige in the war zone, even if he is a teacher, he can't resist it, so he can only let Gao Fangping mess around.

Gao Fangping's biggest feature is that he is unconventional. Ordinary people win over officers through interests, so as to suppress their subordinates and pinch military power. On the contrary, Gao Fangping, Xiao Gao is the best at forcing the grassroots big-headed soldiers to win the hearts of the army, and can engage in a national war in minutes within the army, pulling soldiers to kill officers.

Therefore, the essence of managing the army is actually the same as managing the people, and everything changes from its origins.

The Western Army was different from other officers and armies in the interior, they were small in size and had many soldiers, and they were troops ready to fight at any time, so there was almost no matter of eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers. Only the supernumerary, the two big-headed soldiers share the situation of one establishment. So the Western Army in general is bitter.

But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are still cases of corrupt officials, and there are still many of them. In particular, there are more cases in Liu Yanqing's department, mainly because there has been peace for more than three years since the armistice of the last Songxia War, and because Tong Guan, a big corrupt official, is in charge of affairs here.

At the same time, the most serious phenomenon of the Western Army was to disturb the people, to eat, drink, and loot the people, to do business, and to compete with the people for profit.

There is no way to do this, the number of the Western army is huge, and the supply of military funds from the imperial court is limited, and after being corrupted and depleted by the inefficient system, it falls into the hands of the mud-legged big-headed soldiers for many times and cannot even eat enough. Therefore, even if the cool officials are like a teacher, as long as the soldiers are not too serious, they will turn a blind eye to the disturbance of the people by their subordinates. For example, at that time, Gao Fangping warned the planters not to harass the caravan anymore, but in fact, it was a moth derived from poverty. It's not that the Seed Master Dao really doesn't have the prestige to control the army.

However, the situation on the border of the theater is different from that in the interior, where the local patriarchal system has limited control over the military, and military compromise in the theater has also been politically correct since ancient times. So the current atmosphere of the Western Army is not good, at least in Gao Fangping's eyes, this is not a really qualified army.

But this is another iron army that followed Gao Fangping and completely buried the Western Xia people, so even if a cool official like Gao Fangping can't bear to purge in the name of anti-corruption.

However, reform is imperative, and the political level may not be able to move the high level between the east and the west. But now this is a war zone, and it is still in a state of war with Western Xia, and Gao Fangping, as a marshal sent by the emperor, holds the sword of the Son of Heaven, and has enough autonomy and arbitrary power. We must take advantage of this opportunity to quickly cut through the chaos and turn the Western Army into the real mainstay of the dynasty in one fell swoop.

The prescription given by Gao Fangping is: cut the preparation, cut it sharply. Soldiers and officers cut together.

In terms of age structure, there is nothing wrong with Shi Wengong and Bi Shijing's military system. But in the Department of Seed Master Dao and Liu Yanqing, there are many fifteen-year-old teenagers, and even fourteen-year-olds. And then there are some veterans who are too old.

These are those who need to be unconditionally retired, and many other disabled people who are not conducive to future combat training also need to be retired.

After the policy was issued, some people wanted to retreat. To put it bluntly, they are actually "strong men" who were "captured" by these guys because of the flexible policy in the war zone. The Western Army has a large group of unstaffed but half-military, half-civilian guys, and under the policy of coercion, many people even have to bring their family's food to the war.

This is called the real bring-your-own lunch box.

These circumstances are based on the fact that they have been accustomed to war for generations, and also on the prestige of the way of the planter.

But from now on, these people will really be put back and converted to production and living. This part of the people is easier to deal with, they themselves want to go back, and then they are theoretically also national. But Gao Fangping still agreed to compensate them, and it was considered a military to civilian retirement, and they were given paperwork certificates, and they were exempted from military service for life in the future. The reason: they have already served the country in excess of the quota.

For example, if there are more than two people in a family who have served in the war, Gao Fangping gave the family a three-generation policy of "lifelong tax exemption and exemption".

These people are a group of people who are willing to go.

There is another group of people, they are used to the military career of their ancestors, and many times they don't know anything, their father is a soldier, and their son is still a soldier if he doesn't want to be formed. This is the characteristic of the family army. The so-called father-son soldiers who go into battle are actually a kind of culture in which the family army has a sense of unity, and it is the guarantee of their combat effectiveness.

These people they don't want to retreat, but they have to. Gao Fangping said that in the future, the western army must take the road of specialization and refinement with fewer units. It is not possible to indefinitely absorb the people's power, but carry out inefficient attrition and death. If that continues, sooner or later, the northwest will be thousands of miles away, and there will be neither soldiers nor civilians.

In addition to reversing the entire strategic initiative, Gao Fangping's Shilongguan Campaign also comprehensively innovated the concept of specialized cluster operations, and the quality of morale and the importance of equipment were far higher than the large and bloated number effect. In addition, it was difficult to resist the prestige under Gao Fangping's eyes, so Liu Yanqing and Seed Master Dao agreed to cooperate with these policies.

The condition is: the conversion of those who exchange armaments for them.

Gao Fangping's awesome equipment promised to give priority to supplying their Western Army. Yes, Master Dao and Liu Yanqing thought that the equipment was crazy, even if they had to retire a lot of their soldiers, and even many officers would be forced to retire, but for the temptation of those equipment, they couldn't wait to cooperate with Gao Fangping's reform and reorganization.

In addition to the divine arm crossbow that the military department could not produce, the tacit understanding obtained with them in Bianjing at that time was that Gao Fangping could not touch ordinary armaments except for the North 1 Beijing Garrison Division.

But that kind of agreement was reached in peacetime, and now that Gao Fangping is presiding over the national war in the northwest and has won, it is still in a state of war, and the equipment that has been urgently produced and the production line that has been invested in, of course, must have a place to go, so it is natural that the Western Army will be given priority to the fighting.

So this time I finally fell asleep and met a pillow, and if I wanted to move the interests of others, I had to have another interest in exchange. Gao Fangping used armaments in exchange for the right to reform the army of Liu Yanqing and others.

Armament is only the interest of the upper-level generals such as the division and the Dao, but not the interests of those middle- and low-ranking officers and soldiers who need to be retired. Then Gao Fangping's compensation for these people is money, supplemented by civil affairs inclination.

Where does the money come from?

This brings us to the dividends of war. This time he cleaned up the battlefield and made a profit from Guan Qi Ximen Qing, which was of course much more than what Gao Fangping reported to the household department. Zhang Shuye must know this trick, but for a northern marshal, he Gao Fangping definitely needs a certain "free movement share", which is understandable to everyone. Just like those who used to understand that "the Western Army is over-organized and disturbs the people".

So the money comes from the soldiers who fought for the country, and now it needs to be spent on them as well.

In line with the principle that there are not too many in the fine, and in line with the principle that the local needs the people's power and people's livelihood, Gao Fangping was frenzied and formulated the decision to retire 70,000 people from the Daoist Department and Liu Yanqing's Department.

Yes, not only can they not get the replenishment of troops, but they also make drastic cuts.

In the early days of the war, after more than three years of recuperation, the Seed Master Dao Department was known as 170,000, and Liu Yanqing's Department was also more than 170,000. A total of nearly 350,000 people, but the battle has been fought so far, the Daoist Department of the Seed Master is better, and the battle damage of Liu Yanqing's Department is very serious, more than three layers, with more than 50,000 casualties. Only 120,000 remained. And there are fifteen people left in the Taoist Division.

Now the Qin Feng military department and the Yongxing military department have a combined twenty-seven people. And Gao Fangping's policy is to go to the dross and keep the elite, and cut 70,000.

Among the 70,000 people, there were officers, some were disabled, some were half-grown children, some were willing to go, some were unwilling to go, some were corrupt, some were ruffians, and all of them.

No matter what their situation is, they are all promoted by the three giants such as Gao Fangping, Liu Yanqing, etc., and they retired strongly. For this reason, Gao Fangping allocated 950,000 yuan from the war dividend to compensate them.

The principle for the use of funds of more than 900,000 yuan is: There are more officers and more disabled, and the specific rules are to be implemented by them in cooperation with the parents and officials of various departments.

It's not a lot of money, but that's all it takes for the time being. They can already feel Gao Fangping's sincerity to a certain extent. If you want to calculate the average, one person is more than ten yuan, and the purchasing power is equivalent to 10,000 yuan in later generations. This is far from enough to compensate, but Gao Fangping can do this in this era, which is also a surprise for the big soldiers.

"Once again, I stress that everyone here must listen clearly."

When these policies were set at a large meeting, Gao Fangping knocked on the table and said: "This money is different from usual, this is the money for their life after leaving the battlefield, and it is the recognition they have obtained for their service to the country. I would be more than happy to do so. ”

The high-ranking officers looked at each other, some unaware and some embarrassed.

Gao Fangping looked at the civilian system in the war zone again and said: "In addition to economic compensation, for the sake of stability and benevolence, it also needs to be supplemented by a tilted system in local civil affairs. This time, the people in the army have the armaments promised by the parish as benefits, and your local government system has no benefits, and I know that you are not convinced, and you have resentment. ”

Those civil officials really meant this, and they nodded embarrassedly.

"But I'm a righteous person, I won't let you do it in vain, and I won't let you settle these retired soldiers you don't want to settle in vain." Gao Fangping said, "I promise you that Qian Zhuang will do its best to support the post-war reconstruction of your region." Now the northwest is full of holes, thousands of miles of red land, I need money, people, technology, and solutions, and I have all of them. If you want money, I will lend it to you after research, and if you want technology or solutions, I have a whole set of mature experience for you to learn from, and I want people, and these retired people are for you. Don't look at them as crippled or ruffians, as long as the method is right, believe me, they dare to fight with the barbarians, and they dare to work hard. There will definitely be problems, and all kinds of run-ins must need to be studied and overcome, but this is called an official, isn't it simple? ”

These guys are not used to Gao Fangping's style, so they didn't answer, and began to look at each other again.
