As one of the many new policies during the Taixing period after the great changes that laid the foundation of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty continued to renew the pattern of Zhongxing for two hundred years, and the Taixing military reform is undoubtedly a stroke that needs to be written in thick ink and color.

Among them, the most important thing is the innovation of firearms for Chinese and foreign armies under the leadership of Liang Gongqin in power. Therefore, among the newly codified military standards.

Compared with the traditional structure of towns, armies, brigades, battalions, regiments, teams, fires, and tenths in the era of cold weapons, the armed equipment of long-range projection such as bows and ballistas has been greatly strengthened, and a large number of incendiary and explosive firearms have been introduced, and an independent military establishment other than horse infantry and water shooting has been established.

Among them, it is divided into two major sequences: the grenadier who throws firearms alone and the magic machine army that is projected remotely by large instruments. They can be used as a large number of individual operations, or they can be assigned to the team level on a small scale as a local reinforcement.

In addition, in the old organization of battalions and regiments, heavy vehicle battalions composed of a large number of vehicles and horses began to appear, integrating attack and defense, to meet the needs of battlefield defense and material reserves.

Therefore, in the end, the regular army, which was originally capable of 10,000 troops, could reach 13,400 after the full strength, and then according to the distance and needs in wartime, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were additionally assigned to Gongzi and other battalions to improve the long-lasting combat capability, and that was expanded to a larger establishment.

Because of the general strengthening of various subordinates, the requirements for the baggage and logistical transportation of the accompanying troops have also been greatly increased, so it is very expensive to organize and train. Therefore, in the era of Liang Gong's ruling center.

In the end, in the Chinese and foreign armies, only three armies and five guards were organized, that is, the left dragon martial army, the right dragon martial army, and the right Shenwu army in the Eighth Army of the Northern Ya, and the left and right Jinwuwei of the Sixteen Guards, the left military guard, the left Xiaowei and the right leading guard, which were called the first or first army.

The 12 guards of the South Ya and the 8th Army of the North Ya, and some of them have completed the training of firearms, which are called the second army.

In the foreign army, it has been organized and trained on a pilot basis, and some of the town troops with firearms battalions and regiments are called the towns of the second formation in order to prevent the impulses of the town.

Then, in the key areas and ordinary military towns in the border garrison garrisons, there are also firearms units of different proportions, which are uniformly called the army of the C formation.

The production and manufacture of firearms have long been monopolized and controlled in the Gyeonggi-do and Dogyong-do areas with the two capitals as the core because of natural political needs.

This pattern followed for more than two hundred years before it was interrupted and destroyed in the Yiwei Rebellion, and in the name of revenge for the Longwu family or the Qing monarch's side, the marquee generally took turns to enter the Jingqin Wang/washing the ground, which not only destroyed the political ecology of the center of the imperial court, but also affected the monopoly and control of the pond fish in the hands of the imperial court, and the technical reserves of the national dynasty accumulated by dozens of generations were destroyed.

Only the predecessor of the Southern Dynasty outside the Ling, the Nanhai Dudu, remains, and some relatively intact inheritance and development remain.

Coupled with the destruction and loss of the industrial system and production process caused by the continuous war, in order to negate the root cause, more than ten generations of authoritarian Liang clan's political needs, and artificially destroy or change the things left by Liang Gong.

As a result, the army under the Northern Dynasty has lagged far behind the southern army of the overseas vassals with perennial combat experience in terms of firearms-related tactics and concepts. This is also an important reason why in the Jiayou Army, the opening battle was one-sided, and it was like destroying the withering and decaying.

But despite this, after Emperor Chengguang, who succeeded to the great unification in the east, and after a short period of revival for Li Tang, he still tried to rebuild the corresponding firearms troops within the territory of the northern kingdom by using a large number of military craftsmen and engineers captured from the allied forces of the Southern Dynasties, trying to reproduce the glory and glory of history

It's just that because the actual foundation and conditions are missing too much, after all, we have not been able to travel on a sufficient scale and climate. After the dictatorship of the Zhang family, it was carried over to the present day, that is, in a few key areas of Duxian and Yanbian, it was equipped as an important means of defense.

At the very least, in the face of those foreign princes and the feudal lords along the border, there is still a considerable advantage and generation gap.

When the first rain and snow came to the land of Henan with cold wind, it was the fourth day since I came back from Hebei.

And my troops and I are in the city of Leize on the border of Yunzhou, Huazhou, and Caozhou, and while waiting for news, we are recruiting troops on the spot, and we plan to build up the nine battalions that are clearly in hand in terms of personnel.

Mainly, in view of the convenience and adaptability of those Yunzhou soldiers in the process of fighting in Hebei, a group of soldiers and husbands were replenished from Yunzhou on the spot.

The area around Yunzhou was not a grain-producing area, but in recent years, there have been natural and man-made disasters, major droughts and wars, and it is known for the endless emergence of bandits and disorderly people.

There were not a few people who starved to death in the winter last year alone, so under the threat of this harsh winter, a large number of fellow villagers tested the waters, and after posting signs of admiration on the localities, there was no shortage of young and middle-aged people who chose to sell themselves for some food and daily necessities.

And everyone pays the price, just a few bags of millet or wheat beans, or even half a bag of military compressed dry food. Of course, if you have basic martial arts or the skills of holding soldiers, or previous experience in the army, you will get more price, which is also a disguised investigation.

In the end, we got a total of about 3-4000 alternates and co-service, and it was the result of selection.

In fact, although they are northerners, they do not resist the opportunity to barely eat in the army called the hostile forces, under the pressure of their livelihood. Therefore, it can be said that everyone who heard it enthusiastically followed each other for a while.

However, my army, out of some consideration of stability and internal balance, only accepted those who were in better physical condition, who were not too old, and who had little family burden and concern, so they only selected these people.

At least equip them with cold weapons captured and eliminated by our army, and with a little training and reorganization, they are also a good cannon fodder and labor force.

It is just necessary to pay attention to the prevention of grouping and private tandem in the background of fellow villagers, which affects the obedience and command efficiency of the army.

All of a sudden, outside Razor City, there were all kinds of shirtless figures, shouting trumpets in the cold wind, and running around the city wall. Then the veterans and non-commissioned officers who supervised the training would stand on the city wall or high platform, shooting arrows and firing guns at their heads to make it more difficult.

You can dodge the action, but you can't stop, and you are not allowed to look for cover, and you are hit by headless arrows and lime balls shot at you, although it is not fatal, but it will also be hot and painful, and those who are more popular will naturally be eliminated as the bottom of the last elimination and will be punished in various ways.

It's called a crash train for courage and reflexes. Make sure they don't run away or run around in the first place between friendly fire and enemy onslaught.

And because of my hamster-like sense of crisis and desire to hoard before, I got a lot of bulk materials from Shuaisi, including relatively sufficient rations such as grain, grass and canned food, plus looting from Henan and heavy supplies seized from the enemy army over the years.

All kinds of staple food and non-staple food, rice, noodles, meat and vegetables are at least enough for our army, plus the people of Liubu, they can hold on to more than three months in a combat state, if they are in a state of defense with relatively little consumption, they can be planned and arranged with more reasonable plans, and it is not a problem to continue to eat for more than half a year.

It's just that although there are a lot of grain materials seized in Hebei, because of the cost-effectiveness in size and quantity, they can't be brought across the river, but together with the surplus mules and horses, most of them are distributed to those "criminal state rebels" along the way, otherwise the reserves for the winter will be a little more.

This is also where I have the courage to expand the troops on the spot. Since our army was safely returned from Hebei, the next things and positions are different.

And Liu Yanqing's department, because of the rest and recuperation in the rear, when the front line was defeated, took the opportunity to collect a lot of friendly troops, and obtained some of the weapons transferred by our army, so that the rear of his new army gradually recovered to about 7,000 people.

After all, my people and Liu Yanqing's troops are in one place, and there are nearly 20,000 horses, which is enough to exchange and ask for a price with the handsome commander who is in a certain predicament and is a little weak to deal with.

However, according to the analysis of my staff, no matter how much the people in Shuai Si are blocked and entangled, in the current somewhat bad situation, they will not be able to continue to leave me, a part-time and combat force, there for too long. After getting the news of their return, they should be more anxious than me.

Therefore I did not have to wait long, and two days later, the envoy with an umbrella cover and a rather ostentatious decree, escorted by the cavalry of the inner class wearing splendid robes, rushed to our army.

Then there was a beating, drumming and trumpeting to gather the people and horses, gather the stars and the moon, welcome each other into the camp, and then put down the incense table to listen to the edict.

After the middle-aged envoy who proclaimed the decree reluctantly accepted a bag of gold bills, and stayed in the tent for a short time for a short interview, he came and went in a hurry, leaving no clouds, and we became the new left army of the imperial camp in the base camp.

Of course, according to the statement and explanation of Zhu Yan, who was in charge of the palace, this imperial battalion army is comparable to the standard of the 12th Gongwei Army, and enjoys the treatment and seniority of a first-class field army.

Especially considering the actual situation of my unit with a new method of warfare in front of the army, the color of the flag uniform remains unchanged, but on the edge of the fire and thunder flags of each battalion, two large silver embroidered characters on the left and left have been added.

In addition, as a symbol of the imperial camp, it has brought a full set of military propaganda, and in the main general's personal entourage, there are also six pairs of flags and guns, as the exclusive honor guard of the imperial commander.

At the same time, there were also four other troops that were also incorporated into the military order of the imperial camp, including the horse army of the right wing of the new army, which was once under the cooperation of the new army, which was reorganized into the front army of the imperial camp; In addition, Xu Qing and his Tabai Army, who also had a relationship, were reorganized into the Imperial Camp Rear Army;

The other two troops, under the command of the Central Road and the West Road, are obviously quite good at fighting and highly decorated troops, but it is estimated that there is no chance to get acquainted.

Although he is also the commander of the army, because the chief general of the left army of the imperial camp is the commander of the army order, my title has also been promoted to another rank, as the general of the Qianniu Wei Zhonglang under the fourth grade, the deputy envoy of the economic strategy of Quan Yunzhou, the general of the Xun Guardian Army, the son of Yongxing County, and two hundred foods.

In this way, even if I didn't inherit the family business and name of Luo Fan, this lord would be enough for me to inherit the family and eat two generations of food without worry.

According to the example, Xin Jiaxuan was also promoted to the deputy commander of the left army of the imperial camp, and the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Yunzhou was the supervisor of the four products; Zhao Long was the Marquis of Yu for the left army of the imperial camp, and Quan Yunzhou was sentenced to punishment from the four products; Lu Wuguan is a member of the Left Army, and the governor of the right to be on the fifth grade.

Even Li Guanjun, who had never had any sense of zài, was thus transformed into an envoy of the Left Army, continuing to be responsible for delivering orders in front of the army, reporting the results of the battle, inspecting the enemy, and the responsibility of the military supervision department who was inconvenient to say clearly.

The officers of the battalions are captains of Zhichong and Guoyi, and they are led by the rank of general and deputy general; The regimental officers under the battalion are given the titles of capital head, captain, leading general, and reserve general; The remaining officers and sergeants have all been promoted. It can be regarded as unifying the miscellaneous titles that I have set up in the main battle, auxiliary army, and skirmishers.

Of course, the spearmen and white soldiers in the soldiers, the gunslingers, gunners, gunners, grenadiers, veteran grenadiers, and other ranks in the army, the military branches and service allowances under my personal name are still the same.

At the same time, according to the head of the reward money two, even the length of the more than half a horse, the fire chief to give a horse, the team is to give two, and so on, to my name, it will become the royal gold medal, flying fish belt, green jade buckle, silverfish bag and other sundries, plus the old city of Guangfu Zhenghua Gate outside the mansion.

All matters of food and equipment before the army should be under the jurisdiction of the base camp, and a separate grain station should be set up. Although it is still issued under the distribution of the Frontier Military Department according to the regulations, only the right to send the defense expenditure is left, and all personnel signing and commendation matters are filed with the commander and the commander is directly in the base camp of Jiangning.

However, the base camp actually issued an edict to directly take away the jurisdiction of several front-line troops on the grounds of forming an imperial army, and it seems that there are quite few criticisms and opinions on the actions of the front-line military department.

Once the awards have been announced, it is time to begin negotiating conditions and exchanging compensation. Although the envoy who announced the decree this time was sent from the rear, he had been in the Shuai Si for several days, and this time he also brought someone from the Shuai Si.

Although some things have been torn apart because of the things with Shuaisi, before the public rebellion or the foundation for self-reliance, the system and formal procedures on the surface still have to be obeyed to some extent.

This time, the person who followed the Chinese envoy to negotiate was the same person who made Li Envoy, but in this and that situation, other people might not dare to come, for fear that if they were not careful, they would become the target of anger.

For example, unexplained deaths on the road, or missing rebels and bandits, such accidents are inevitable.

However, compared with the rest of the Shuai Division, this Li envoy, who is in charge of all affairs in the south, still has a little affection and origin there, and Li Guanjun, who rarely makes trouble for us, is certainly his person, and it is also from his hand and gesture to report to Lu Wuguan and provide convenience for all personnel to go out.

Under the guarantee of that Li Guanjun, no, it should be Li Chengxuan, I will pinch my nose and see what the person who came has to say.
