After fine-tuning the personnel, the Huaxia Kingdom continued to move forward on the road of great revival.

However, a new reform was initiated, all the militia units were converted into garrison troops or picket units, the government service and the arrest were merged, picket departments were set up in various localities to maintain local law and order, and they were placed under the management of the local government, and the picket units were set up at the regimental level, one regiment per prefecture, battalion-level picket units were set up in the following counties, company-level units were set up in towns, class units were set up in large villages, brigade-level units were set up in state capitals, and at most one and a half brigades were set up in a large state.

The garrison brigade is responsible for defense, the picket unit is responsible for maintaining law and order, the garrison brigade will later participate in the combat operations of the field army, the militia brigade will become history, and the local account book militia will be converted into the garrison brigade reserve force, which will not be used in peacetime, and will only be mobilized when the territory is invaded by the enemy or the population needs to be transferred to other places.

Of course, the transfer will certainly not be those who are old and unable to walk, or those who are disabled and inconvenient, but the transfer is the transfer of those soldiers who have returned from retirement, and those who have been transferred from soldiers to civilians.

It is likely that entire families will become immigrants and move to the newly occupied areas.

These are made up of veterans who have been eliminated from the boot camp or garrison brigade, or from the front line because they are disabled, old, or want to retire themselves.

Those recruits who have completed their training and served for two years will not be assigned to the garrison brigade if their grades or psychological quality are really not up to par, and they can only retire and go home.

The soldiers of the garrison brigade have served for three years, and if they have no achievements, or they have not been selected, they will be discharged if they are not outstanding, and these people can have the right to be assigned work, and the most direct thing is to go to the picket brigade, which is equivalent to a job and eat public meals.

But the price is that you perform well in the recruit camp, and if you finish three years of perfect service in the garrison brigade, you have to retire and go home if you don't serve for three years.

These people can choose to go to the wasteland, although there are not many places that can be used for wasteland reclamation now, and there are only three places in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sishan Prefecture, and the newly laid Shaanxi and Gansu Prefectures.

If they do well there, it is possible to rejoin the picket brigade or better to join the garrison brigade, and then retire from the garrison brigade there, in which case they can go back to the picket brigade or the correctional battalion brigade to take some positions.

After this rectification, the troops became streamlined again, at least there was no need for the ordinary militia brigade, the militia elite brigade was called, and the militia units were liberated, and they did not need to go to the front line to work hard and pay for their lives, and directly handed over the war to the regular army, the field army, the garrison army, as well as the guards army, and the three branches of the regular army.

The last battle in Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi made Zhang Qiang feel that he was still fighting in the previous backward way of naval warfare, which could kill many recruits and strong men who had no experience in fighting, reduce the population of his kingdom, and use the regular army to attack the fortified positions with less losses than with these soldiers, and of course pay less, he found that his thinking should have changed.

With such an adjustment, even the garrison army does not need to go to the battlefield, and it is more economical to save troops and material supplies, and to use elite field troops to fight, and the Guards to cooperate or independently attack fortifications, and to train the two regular army units is the right thing.

Although the demobilization and retirement of militia units has increased the burden on the local government, it has also reduced the pressure on the local government to enforce public order, so that the local government has the troops at hand to sort out some criminals and some discontented elements, and directly use the strength of the garrison brigade.

Later, Zhang Qiang found that the names of some officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties were somewhat inconsistent with the system of the Huaxia Kingdom, and were a bit nondescript, so he began to start with the army and change everyone's military ranks first.

Because of the history of contact with the Tessy people, they also fought many battles, so they proposed to use the ranks and methods of the Tessi people to manage the army.

So Zhang Qiang moved the military rank system of later generations.

The recruit battalion is called a recruit for one year and a private for two years, which is a bit different from that of later generations, but because there is still a long way to go for a recruit to become a regular army soldier, it will take at least five years.

The recruit battalion is equivalent to the reserve force of later generations, in fact, it is equivalent to the people of military training in universities, training for three months, and then these recruits are learning and competing, will obey orders, will queue, and will fire two shots, so they can only go to the private when they are soldiers for two years, in fact, they are still equivalent to the people who have received basic military training, and after retirement, they are still people, which is equivalent to exercising, and then by the way reserve troops for the regular army.

The one who took the opportunity to stand out went to the garrison brigade, so he was a third-class soldier, a third-class soldier in the first year, a second-class soldier in the second year, and a first-class soldier in the third year, which means that they are still soldiers, but they are better trained than recruits, they have learned to shoot, tactical movements, maintain guns, can ride horses, and can use some means of transportation, such as mules, war horses, and horse-drawn carriages, and can also repair firearms, repair carriages, be able to strike iron, be literate, and plan to disk, so that even if they retire, they can have a skill when they go out.

Because as the war progressed, the Huaxia Kingdom had almost no war to fight, and they were basically official reserves, but in the end they had to return to the ranks of the common people.

Of course, it is impossible to be a soldier after five years, many people can be promoted during training, the first year is as usual, everyone is a third-class soldier, in the second year excellent results can be promoted to a private class, and in the third year excellent results can be promoted to corporal.

When you are promoted to corporal, you have a lot of options, you can learn other things, learn techniques, some become soldiers on the technical side, and some become soldiers on the command side.

However, the field brigade does not mean that the corporal goes, but directly from the whole battalion of the field brigade, the whole battalion is replenished, depending on the situation, the entire battalion goes, the officers in the battalion have to stay, and the soldiers go to the battalion that directly replenishes the battle-damaged or retired soldiers.

Or spread the soldiers out and replenish them to other units.

Of course, this supplement must be that the soldiers can't go in the first year, and the soldiers can only go in the second year, and they can't all go, so they have to leave the skeleton of the original battalion, otherwise what will happen to the soldiers selected and sent every year in the new barracks?

You can't let a bunch of recruits become a battalion of their own, with a third-class private as the battalion commander.

The field brigade of the field army is the lowest private, that is, the senior soldier and the corporal are all inside, led by the sergeant and sergeant inside.

In the first year, there are retired soldiers in the field army, and then the soldiers of the garrison brigade who have been promoted to serve as soldiers or officers with excellent results will be formed, forming a natural metabolic system in which the vacancies are gradually filled by new ones.

The officers of the picket brigade are demoted from retired officers, and the officers of the garrison brigade are sent from above or have their internal qualifications improved and their military merits have been improved, but most of them are sent from the field army or need to be transferred to the garrison brigade or punished for mistakes for various reasons.

Of course, there is also the need for garrison brigades, and soldiers with excellent grades are selected from above to garrison brigades, and they are promoted to the first rank as soon as they come, and the senior private is promoted to corporal, corporal to loyalty, second lieutenant to lieutenant, and so on.

In the future, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for the garrison brigade to receive awards for meritorious service, and there will not be too many opportunities for the field army, so training, performance, and seniority will become the path of promotion in the Chinese army in the future.

After discussing with Wei Wuji, Li Dingguo, and Feng Quan, Zhang Qiang introduced his new military rank system, which was no longer mixed with his previous official positions, causing chaos.

The picket brigade (equivalent to the police force of later generations to maintain law and order, arrest criminals, assist the county magistrate in handling cases, and deal with local conflicts) is no longer in the military ranks, but there is a part of the daily content of military training, with certain combat skills, and the weapons are outdated.

The picket brigade has set up a clerk system and a section member system, and all promotions are equivalent to officialdom, and clerks wear special non-grade mark clothing of the picket brigade, and all promotions are equivalent to officialdom.

A copper button on the shoulder of a clerk means that he is an ordinary clerk, but he is one level higher than the new clerk or the leader in other clerks.

As the level increases, each level adds a button, up to three levels, and after three levels, the button is replaced with a yellow vertical bar, which represents the leader.

At least a leader at the deputy section level. Leaders at the level of the department add a copper button.

Push up, each level of leadership has its own identification mark, the division level leader a crossbar, bold, formal leadership plus a diamond-shaped copper button.

……。

On the garrison's side, the highest rank is a major general, and there are brigadier generals below, like Xuanyuan Longfei, the commander-in-chief is a lieutenant general, but others do not have his rank in this position, the highest is a major general.

The third class soldier has only a thin vertical pole, and the second class soldier is also a thin two vertical poles, and the senior soldier has a thick pole.

Corporal, one thin triangular hook, sergeant, two thin triangular hooks, sergeant, three thin triangular hooks, professional sergeant, one thick hook.

Professional sergeant, divided into command sergeant, various technical arms sergeant, training sergeant, logistics sergeant, staff sergeant This is classified according to the role, according to the classification of rank, first-class sergeant, plus a thin hook, second-class sergeant, plus two thin hooks, third-class sergeant, plus three thin hooks, fourth-class sergeant, plus four thin hooks, fifth-level sergeant, two thick hooks, one thin hook, sixth-level sergeant, three thick hooks.

Zhang Qiang's planning of the various soldiers' rank signs, different from later generations can not be understood, it is difficult to understand, he is logical, a year or two years, you can know at a glance, this is a one-year soldier, two years of soldiers, one level or two levels, the number of levers is known, just look at the thickness to know, there are not so many curves.

A sergeant can be transferred to a warrant officer at any time, but only until at least the second rank is required, and the first rank is not allowed.

Second lieutenants have to go to the military academy where officers are trained, or they are promoted in wartime.

It doesn't matter how many years you survive.

However, this is useless for the sergeant, even if the sergeant is a stupid person, after a long time to do something, there is always his experience, so the sergeant can be promoted through seniority and years, and then through the assessment, but not more than the fourth level, that is to say, if you survive to the fourth level, it is time to retire.

The above officers have nothing to say, ensign, lieutenant, captain, captain, then major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, general, general, the highest to the general, no one is a general, Zhang Qiang is ready to make Wei Wuji a general, unless there is special merit or old age has the rank of honorary general allowed to retire.

With such an adjustment, Zhang Qiang became comfortable, he felt as if he was playing a historical world farming game, it was still a simple type, there was not much challenge, except that the beginning was more difficult, the enemy had strong troops, and everyone was a cold weapon, but it had developed into the era of muskets, which was almost crushing.
