Chapter 132: Reforming the Military System

Organizing a new army may be a difficult task for others, but it is actually a very easy task for Jiangchuan, who has a fortress base as a backer.

Egawa's plan is clear.

This new army will all be equipped with new muskets and artillery, and the military structure and establishment of the new army will be organized in accordance with the modern army, which is simply to be organized and trained in the sequence of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies.

In fact, the changes in the establishment of the armed forces were closely related to the changes in the social productive forces and weapons and equipment at that time.

In many crossings, the people who like to train the new army use the modern military system, which has been complained by many people.

However, Jiang Chuan believes that there is an obvious premise for the application of the modern military system, that is, the army has basically been fully firearmed.

Obviously, the original ancient military system is not very suitable for this purely firearms army, so the innovation of the military system is inevitable.

The reason why Jiang Chuan did not establish a modern military system at the beginning was because the Qin army's combat methods at that time were mainly based on cold weapons.

An army with cold weapons is obviously not suitable for a modern military system.

Now that this condition has been met, Jiangchuan has enough strength to build a purely firearms army, so it is imperative to change the military system.

And Jiang Chuan has no one-size-fits-all plans.

It will not be possible to transform all armies into modern military systems in a short period of time.

This new army is actually more of an army for experiments.

Moreover, for the generals under him, the command and tactics of modern firearms units are obviously unfamiliar.

In fact, Jiang Chuan himself has no experience in this area, so the use and command of this modern army needs to be explored, and this is also a mission of this new army.

Moreover, the mission of the establishment of this new army is not limited to the above-mentioned one.

It has not only the mission of training the tactics of firearms units, but also the mission of testing the modern military system and the corresponding modern military rank system.

As early as the time of Liaodong, Jiang Chuan once envisioned the establishment of a set of effective and highly incentivizing title system.

At the earliest, he wanted to refer to the twentieth level of the Qin State when he changed the law, but after some thought, Jiang Chuan still felt that the ancient title system was very unsuitable for this army that was about to be fully weaponized.

So he simply moved the modern military rank system from his previous life to his own use.

Of course, the benefits behind the modern military rank system are not very different.

The greater significance of the establishment of the modern military rank system is that in addition to allowing soldiers to feel the difference in honor and specific benefits brought about by military ranks, the most practical significance is that in the chaotic battlefield, the command system of the troops can not fall into chaos because of the death of the commander.

What Jiangchuan needs to do is not only to retain the significance of the original military rank system, but also to increase and expand the benefits and benefits corresponding to these military ranks. In order to further stimulate the soldiers' belligerent spirit, so that they can advance on the battlefield without fear of life and death.

The tentative quota of this new army is 10,000 people, and the establishment is one army.

Compared with a modern army, the number of this army is naturally small.

But since it was an experiment, it was impossible for Egawa to get too many people at once.

It is only after this army is really established and has combat effectiveness that Jiang Chuan will consider expanding it.

The core strength of this army is naturally based on base soldiers.

These base soldiers will serve as officers of all ranks, from top to bottom, and even non-commissioned officers. They are the skeleton that holds up this army.

And those recruits recruited from ordinary people are the flesh and blood of this army.

In this way, it not only ensures that it does not occupy too many places for the soldiers of the fortress base, but also ensures that this army can be completely in Jiangchuan's own hands.

Guan Hu and Su Dingfang, who were originally in charge of training recruits in Liaodong, including all the soldiers of the teaching team, have been transferred to the capital and are now stationed in the new army barracks outside the city.

And the original Jingying has been disbanded by Jiang Chuan's order.

Jingying was originally a place where many officials and nobles in the scriptures, and even the children of the clan went to gild. Not to mention combat effectiveness, these people are simply a rabble.

Originally, the emperor also had the intention to reorganize the Beijing camp, but because of the ties of various relationships, he was also powerless.

But here in Egawa, these problems do not exist at all.

The fate of Wei Guogong Liu Lin and others was there, so no one dared to express any objections without opening their eyes.

And judging from the various means used by Jiang Chuan since he entered Beijing, if they dare to make any slanderous remarks, not only will they be unlucky, but even their entire family will be implicated.

His Royal Highness the Regent, his ruthless methods made all the officials and magnates in the capital worry every day.

In the entire capital, even those second-generation people who like to bully men and women on weekdays have stopped a lot, so the order on the street is much better, and many people applaud in private.

Moreover, coupled with the establishment of the yamen of the City Administration, the eunuchs who were dismissed from the palace all changed into uniform and became members of the cleaning team under the City Administration.

Under the hard work of these eunuch cleaners, the streets and alleys of the entire capital began to become clean and spacious.

Moreover, the Beijing Administration Bureau also has special patrol officers to patrol and enforce the law in the streets and alleys, where it is found that littering, open defecation and other behaviors that damage the city's appearance, the first time is a warning, if the next time you are caught and repeated, you will be directly fined, or even jailed.

Although at the beginning, these behaviors made the people of the capital who were used to dumping garbage on the street and defecating everywhere, many of them were unaccustomed, some awkward, and there were many complaints.

However, after a period of implementation, everyone found that the capital has become much cleaner and spacious, and they no longer have to worry about stepping on their feet on the road or sewage, and they don't have to worry about their cars and horses passing by, and they will not be able to pass through the small stalls and vendors on both sides.

Therefore, except for some complaints, most people are still in favor of these systems implemented by Jiang Chuan.

However, Jiang Chuan obviously doesn't care whether others approve or disapprove, and he obviously has no intention of talking about the idea of democracy with anyone.

His idea is very simple, as long as I think I should do it, I can do it, I will do it, whether you want to or not, you only have to cooperate obediently.

It's okay if you don't cooperate, I have enough means to rectify you.
