In Zhu Pingjian's philosophy in his previous life, the most important exposition was to grasp the main contradictions. For a leader like Zhu Pingjin, it is necessary not to grasp all the problems at once, but to grasp the core points that have a bearing on the overall situation. Zhu Pingjin solved the problem of who should control the gun, and other difficult problems in military reform were easily solved.

In his recital, Liao succinctly listed the main contents of the military reform:

Four brigade-level military regions were set up, namely Baocheng, Chongqing, Baoning, and Luzhou, to command operations in the four directions of western Sichuan, eastern Sichuan, northern Sichuan, and southern Sichuan. Grand Duke Luo of Sichuan, Liu Zhenfan, deputy general of northern Sichuan, He Youyi, judge of Luzhou, and Song Zhenzong, who had already been appointed, were appointed commanders of the four military regions of western Sichuan, northern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, and eastern Sichuan.

The 12 guards and 11 institutes under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Metropolitan Division have been completely abandoned and all of them have been abolished. The border guards practiced the division of civil and military rule, and set up prefectures and counties, garrison regiments and battalions. The officers of the guard post will be selected in both directions according to the needs of their superiors and their own volition, or they will be changed to civilian officials or changed to the National Protector Army. Those who are sick and disabled, and are incompetent, will be replaced by children and grandchildren.

As compensation for the merits of their ancestors, the Sichuan government will set up a special investment fund according to the rank of the officer. Their children and grandchildren can take money in this fund for a whole hundred years.

Lower-ranking officers and soldiers who do not have a secular position are allowed to join the National Protector Army and enjoy the military salary of the National Protector Army. Those who are eliminated will be expelled from the people.

The military attachés of the guard post include battalion generals, generals, and those who are willing to join the national protection army, referring to the imperial court's "camp family members" rule, are allowed to join the national protection army, and are treated the same as the national protection army.

The city of Weisho was partly changed to a state city and a county seat, and partly was reserved as a military fortress; Except for those reserved for military use, all land for military buildings shall be handed over to the local government as official property.

After the establishment of the garrison regiments and battalions of the National Protector Army, the self-established regiments and training troops in various localities are allowed to join the National Protector Army on a voluntary basis, and the rest are dismantled together.

The five guards and eight institutes of the Sichuan Xingdu Division and the armies of the Tusi are related to the stability of the border and will not move for the time being.

In order to speed up the pace of military reform and properly resettle the eliminated officers and men, Liao Daheng particularly suggested the establishment of a special organization called the "Yamen after the improvement of the army," which would be in charge of Ma Gan, who would be responsible for the aftermath of the reorganization of the official army and the military, and would also be responsible for the coordination of military-civilian linkage.

……

The battalion soldiers, the main force of the officers and troops, are, of course, the highlight of this military reorganization.

The victory of the northern part of the Sichuan, the merits of the generals participating in the war were invited, and the officials were promoted. However, their troops are still included in the scope of integration. Liu Zhenfan, Ding Xianjue, Zhang Zuokai, and Tu Long were promoted to the main brigade by virtue of their military exploits.

Liu Zhen's domain had the largest number of people, and was reorganized into the regimental headquarters of the 11th Regiment of the Protector Army, four infantry battalions, and one cavalry battalion;

Ding Xianjue's department was reorganized into the regimental headquarters of the 12th Regiment and two battalions of the National Protector Army;

Zhang Zuokai led his troops to achieve a great victory in Yuxi, was promoted to deputy commander of the Boryeong Military Region, and his headquarters was reorganized into two battalions of the National Protector Army;

Tu Long was also promoted to deputy commander of the Boryeong Military Region, and his headquarters was reorganized into the Tongjiang County Garrison Battalion of the National Defense Army.

General Wang Xiang was unprepared for the enemy, captured Bashan's throat Bazhou, defeated the besieging local tyrants, and killed the Tu chieftain Chuang Shiwang, made the first contribution to the Battle of Bashan, was exceptionally promoted to the brigade level, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Baoning Military Region. However, its headquarters was less than 1,500 people, so it was reorganized into the regimental headquarters of the 13th Regiment of the Protectorate Army and two battalions;

Staff General Jia Denglian led his troops to fight bloody battles in Tongcheng Walled City, and was promoted to the deputy brigade level, and the headquarters was reorganized into the regimental headquarters of the 14th Regiment and four battalions of the National Protector Army;

The guerrilla general Yang Zhan attacked the Nanjiang River and relieved the siege of the Tongjiang River, and was promoted to the regimental level, and the headquarters was reorganized into the regimental headquarters and three battalions of the 15th Regiment of the National Protector Army;

The guerrilla general Hou Tianxi assisted Liu Zhenfan in completely annihilating the local tyrant Chen Lin's department, which was promoted to the regimental level, and the department was reorganized into the regimental headquarters of the Fourth Regiment of the Cavalry of the Protector Army and two cavalry battalions. The garrison Hou Yingqi single-handedly persuaded Wang Chaoyang's troops to surrender, and had the merit of destroying the enemy, and was promoted to deputy regimental guard cavalry battalion commander;

Songpan adjutant general Zhu Hualongping was promoted to the rank of deputy brigade, and the battalions of the headquarters and Maozhou Wei, Songpanwei and Diexi were reorganized into the regimental headquarters of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment and two cavalry battalions of the National Protector Army, as well as two garrison regiments of Maowei and Songpan.

Baishuiguan deputy general Long Fuhuang, Long'an general Deng Ruoyu and others were promoted to deputy brigade and regiment, and the department was reorganized into the Baishuiguan garrison battalion and Long'an garrison regiment.

Mahu general Guo Chengda and the generals of the Hunan Guard and the Taiping Battalion were all rewarded, and the department was reorganized into two garrison regiments of Xuzhou and Mahu and the Taiping Garrison Battalion.

Gan Liangchen, the general army of northern Sichuan, could not reward and punish and prestige, resulting in a rebellion of Wang Chaoyang. Thinking of his long history and hard work, he was relieved of his post as the general army of northern Sichuan and reappointed as the commander of the brigade-level army and the commander of the Da (bamboo), neighbor (water) and Huaying garrison regiments (Note 1). The troops he left in Guangyuan and Chaotianguan and the soldiers of Lizhou Wei were combined into the Lizhou Garrison Regiment.

In addition to the officers and battalions, the troops of the former National Protector Army also need to be reorganized or reorganized.

The brigades and brigades were reorganized into garrison regiments and garrison battalions in various localities.

The most headache for his master, the snake Feng Ruhu's department has been frantically expanded to nearly 10,000 people, and it has been reorganized into the eighth regiment of the National Protector Army, the Dazhou garrison regiment and the county garrison battalions.

The first cadre regiment stationed in Jingchu was reorganized into the ninth and tenth regiments of the National Protector Army.

The 2nd Cavalry Battalion of Tianquan Tusi and the 3rd Cavalry Battalion of Dongbu Tusi were expanded into the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Regiments respectively. The Tianquan cavalry led by Gao Junxi and Jiang Qifeng was incorporated into these two regiments respectively.

The 1st Cavalry Battalion was short of soldiers and horses, and was temporarily disbanded as a cavalry company under the infantry regiments of the Protector Army and a cavalry training company directly under the Training Department of the General Staff.

……

The soldiers of the sect, the disbandment of the guards and the reorganization of the battalion have already poked a hole in the sky of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the desperate Liao tycoon did not stop. In his recital, he also put forward two important contents of military reform: one is to abolish the "use of literature to control the military" and implement "collective leadership"; The second is to abolish the distinction between soldiers and civilians and implement the principle that "all people are soldiers."

This is clearly the taste of earth-shattering!

In accordance with the system of "using literature to control the military", the Ming Dynasty gradually formed a complete set of civilian and military command systems such as the military department, the governor, the governor (the deputy envoy of the military garrison), the military preparation road, the local government, the prefecture, and the county.

The governor of Sichuan is generally led by the governor of Qin and Chu, and the actual leadership power of the main and guest soldiers of Sichuan is in the hands of the governor of Sichuan.

Under the governor of Sichuan, there is the deputy envoy of the Sichuan military garrison.

Under the deputy envoy of Sichuan's military garrison, there are a total of eight military garrison affairs in Anmian, Chongqing, Kuizhou, Xuma, Jianchang, Weimao, Songpan, and sub-patrol Shangnan Road, also known as the military garrison road.

Under the military road, there are pro-people officials in various prefectures, prefectures and counties. Although the pro-people officials do not have the legal right to command the local garrisons, under the system of "using literature to control the military," there is no doubt that the civilian officials have an absolute leadership position over those who are "vulgar and uneducated and do not know loyalty."

After the birth of Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, the governor of Sichuan, Liao Daheng, went from collusion to refuge. Chen Shiqi, the deputy envoy of the Sichuan military garrison, ran away and died in prison, and his body smelled incomprehensible. The obedient Eastern Sichuan Military Reserve Ma Qiansheng was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Sichuan Military Garrison.

Eight soldiers, Liu Shidou signed the Jianchang military preparation, Songpan Dao Huang Jianqing died in Luzhou City, Shangnan Dao Hu Heng several official seals together, An Mian Bingbei died of illness in Jianzhou, and the Syrian horse soldiers had already returned to their hometowns. The worst thing is Weimao Armament, he was deeply involved in the Chen Shiqi case, and was ordered by Liao Daheng to take it, and his life was like a gossamer.

In view of the fact that the battalion guards were incorporated into the Protector Army, Liao Daheng took the opportunity to propose to gradually abolish the system of deputy envoys and military commanders, abolish the yamen of civilian officials such as the military garrison and the Qing army to lead the troops and supervise the army, continue to rely on the three general departments to command the Protector Army, and refer to the system of the Shu Wangfu to establish military and political committees between the local government and the local garrison as an organ to link the civil and military forces and collective decision-making; In units above the company level of the National Protector Army, a system of supervising the army is established as a supervisory and decentralizing power for military commanders.

In fact, this completely abolished the system of "using literature to control military force" and replaced it with a collective leadership system under the control of the Shu Palace.

Under the collective leadership system, civilians and civil officials, and military personnel and military positions, are completely separated. The difference in the path of individual entry is only a reference for conferring officials, not a lifelong identity. Civil and military officials sit on an equal footing, with only the division of responsibilities being different. A literati could also lead troops, but only if he had the military command granted by the Shu Palace. Without this power, civilian officials have no right to meddle in the affairs of the military. Warriors can also meddle in the locality, provided that there is a collective resolution approved by the superiors. In this way, the civil and military forces have been deeply integrated. Within the broad framework of collective leadership, there are both checks and balances and cooperation.

abolished the "Imperial Martial Arts with Literature", and Liao Daheng's own right to lead troops was also abolished. Unwilling to abandon his martial arts, Liao Daheng had rich experience in officialdom, and immediately proposed an alternative plan, which could not only prevent him from losing power, but also enable him to ascend to the top of power: that is, under His Royal Highness the Prince of Shu, above the three headquarters, a higher-level command structure was set up to assist His Royal Highness the Prince of the World.

Zhu Pingjin, of course, would not bargain with Liao Daheng at the critical moment of political exchange. Zhu Pingjin, who was good at creating a new type of organization, immediately interjected to abolish the Military Aircraft Committee established after the Carrier Dynasty and set up a military aircraft department in the Shu Wangfu as his own military control organization.

Nine people, including Liao Daheng, Ma Gan, Chen Qichi, Zheng Anmin, Cao Sanbao, Cheng Xiangfeng, Shu Guoping, Sun Hong, and Wang Kunshan, were appointed as ministers of military aircraft and were on duty in the military aircraft department. Liao Daheng served as the governor of Sichuan and concurrently served as the chief military aircraft. In addition, Li Changxiang, Zhang Wei, Tan Fang, and Sun Dingbang, a friend of Futai, were added as military secretaries.

Ma Gan's deputy military envoy no longer has much substance, and when he joined the Military Aircraft Department, he became the only full-time military aircraft in the Military Aircraft Department. In addition, Ma Gan is also in charge of the organization and dispatch of the officials and the army, and it is immediately clear to the discerning person that Ma Dajian is in the heart of the son of the world and will be of great use.

As for the woman Tan Fang's unexpected entry into the Military Aircraft Department, it was personally nominated by the prince, in order to ensure that Miss Luo can keep abreast of military dynamics through her secretary and ensure that the army is properly used.

The so-called "all the people are soldiers" in Liao Daheng's recital is a copy of the so-called three-level military service system of active duty, regular service, and reserve proposed by Hong Qihui in the transportation court. Liao Daheng formally proposed this system in his recital, that is, to extend the compulsory military service system from Wangzhuang to the whole province.

It was only because the population loss in northern Sichuan was obviously greater than expected, in order to ensure that the Protector Army had an abundant supply of soldiers, Liao Daheng suggested that the concept of "Ding" should be clearly defined as a healthy man between the ages of fifteen and forty in Shudi. The active duty has been changed from 20 to 1 from 15, and the ratio of regular duty and reserve duty remains unchanged.

Liao Daheng estimated that in this way, the province could maintain an active standing army of 90,000 to 100,000, and about 250,000 regular troops after training. If you add the recruits recruited by Jing Chu and the troops transferred from the Xingdu Division, the standing army can be increased to about 120,000. Although this number is much smaller than the total number of thieves, as long as the morale is high, the equipment is well-equipped, and the food is abundant, they can still win the battle.

The most important part of the military service system is not who should serve in the military, but who can be exempted from military service and how evasion should be punished.

Fear of death is the instinct of human beings, and it is impossible to recruit enough soldiers only by relying on generous military salaries and bright career prospects.

Wangzhuang in the counties of Chengdu Prefecture is the base camp of Shu Wangfu, with hundreds of thousands of Zhuang Ding. Although the Shu Wangfu formulated many policies and measures for rich peasants and wealthy people, and repeatedly called on the farmers to "defend the fruits of victory", there were always not enough people who took the initiative to sign up for the caravan, and the village caravan team that had been recruited and subsidized by money and grain in the hometown was squeezed out. Last year, when there was chaos in northern Sichuan, Zhu Pingjin recruited the village guards with lightning speed, which brought these farmers directly into the battlefield from the construction site and farmland.

The Shu Prince's own Zhuang Ding is still like this, how can those wealthy gentry class be willing to work hard with a group of grass standard military households?

Therefore, in Liao Daheng's recital, the principle of military service of "combining voluntary recruitment and compulsory conscription" was determined. Recruit first and then levy, and if the recruitment is not even, it will be supplemented by compulsory levy. Those who refused to serve without exemption from military service were severely punished and even beheaded for the crime of "fleeing from battle."

The delineation of exemption qualifications is also a difficult point.

Honorable officials and student craftsmen are traditionally exempt from military service, but the reality of Shu does not allow this, because there are too many of these two types of people.

For example, the Shu clan surnamed Zhu has nearly 10,000 people. plus those who are related to each other, the number of people should be magnified more than ten times; There are also as many as 10,000 officials with military positions; As for the number of students in the school, there are hundreds of nearly 1,000 in each county of Chengdu and Huayang alone.

If all these people were exempted, the universal military service system would be merely written. The exemption of the rich and powerful from military service will also have a disastrous impact on public opinion and social psychology. The poor will think, the thieves and thieves are all robbed by your Zhu family and the official gentry's family, doing our, why do we poor people want to work hard for you rich people?

Therefore, Liao Daheng suggested: Those who are exempted from military service must be strictly limited to incumbent officials, scholars and craftsmen in the bureau. All other Ding men will be enlisted. If you want to be exempted from military service, you need to pay exemption money. The standard setting is the price of three lives!

There are a fixed number of officials in office, people in learning, and craftsmen in the bureau. Liao Daheng's suggestions were all approved by Zhu Pingjin in advance. There is only one item, Liao Daheng left Zhu Pingjin to handle it himself.

Seeing that the prince swept his gaze towards him, Shiquan Lao Wang hurriedly came out of the queue to hand over his recital. In the recital, Shiquan Lao Wang thinks that Zhu Pingjin is the son of the Shu domain and leads the troops to kill the enemy, and the Shu clan has the same clan and the same lineage, and eats the Lu country, how can he sit idly by?

He suggested that all the descendants of the king, men between the ages of 15 and 40, should be included in the military register, participate in military training, and wait for the dispatch of the Shu Palace. If there is a violator, he will be deprived of his title for the crime of abandoning the country in fear of war, and the clan will be removed and the clan name will be abolished. Clans that apply for exemption must pay twice as much as the ordinary people!

IN ORDER TO SMOOTHLY PROMOTE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MILITARY SERVICE SYSTEM, SHIQUAN LAOWANG ALSO SUGGESTED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MILITARY SERVICE DEPARTMENT UNDER THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT, AND RECOMMENDED ZHU PINGZHEN (SHUANG), THE ELDEST SON OF THE KING OF NANCHUAN, TO SERVE AS THE CHIEF ENVOY OF THE MILITARY SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

Zhu Zhixiang, the king of Nanchuan, was sealed in the forty-fifth year of Wanli, and was an honest and shriveled half-old man. Zhu Zhixiang's eldest son died young, Zhu Pingzhen was Zhu Zhixiang's second son, thirty years old, he didn't like to buy property but liked to study, and he was known as a virtuous name in the Shu clan. His eldest son, Concubine You, is gentle and virtuous, has a high emotional intelligence, and is especially good at pouring chicken soup, which is very popular with his mother, and his relationship with his wife is also good. You also responded to the call to protect the country and the people, and personally led the people of the Zong's palace to sew clothes for the national protection army.

Zhu Pingjin estimated that Shiquan Lao Wang recommended Zhu Pingzhen, and he had the meaning of a wife, so he used his eyes to ask for the opinions of the people around him. But he didn't see opposition on his wife's face, but he saw "impatience" in 100,000 capital letters.

That's it!

Zhu Pingjin briskly ended the recital of Liao Daheng and Shiquan Lao Wang, named Liu Zhibo and Chen Qichi, and asked them to report the revised draft of the "Reclamation Regulations" as soon as possible. Hearing this, Luo Yuhong twisted her buttocks and clenched her fists.

Note 1: Gan Liangchen is a neighbor of the water. The arrangement of this position has the meaning of allowing him to return to his hometown for retirement.
