The faint roar of rolling thunder rippled in the gloomy sky.

"Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, and sold apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alley."

In the dripping rain, the two Ji observed the land affairs concept of the left army of the imperial camp and the governor of Quanyi Prefecture, and couldn't help but feel these two sentences in his mind.

However, he immediately got rid of the immersive artistic conception and returned to the report and reality that the drought in various states had eased on the front line of the water supply.

Because the earth under the scorching sun of the autumn tiger finally ushered in a little thirsty rain, but for the Yishui area, the various labor camps, military and civilian strongholds, and tunzhuang that are in the autumn harvest are not good news.

Whether it's harvesting in the field or drying in the threshing yard, it needs to be hot and dry enough. At the same time, the harvested field also needs to be re-cleared and the straw root system needs to be pulled out, while the next crop needs to be planted.

In this regard, the excess rain is also a hindrance, although it alleviates the heat of the earth, but it is also easy to let the root straw in the residual field, which will clump mildew and rot in the soil, and the fragments that have been scattered in the field will also grow and bud on the ground, and affect the follow-up loose soil topdressing and sowing and other series of work.

Therefore, he has signed a requisition order, in addition to the most basic needs for maintaining law and order in the city, the garrison battalion under the name of the Qingzhou Garrison Army, the garrison regiment under the command of the training officer of the prefecture regiment, the labor battalion and the volunteers in the government-run workshop must be engaged in the local harvest and replanting work.

But compared to the flawless official duties, he was bothered by other things at the moment.

As the nominal third rank in the army and the number two person in the local government, Lu Wuguan's current identity can be described as quite subtle and special.

Because, although he is only a separate observer, not an ambassador of observation and disposal picked by the military and government, and he does not also serve as a defense envoy. The regiment trained military positions such as envoys, but also had the responsibility of supervising and supervising local officials and tuntian, water and land transportation, and financial endowment and folk customs.

Moreover, compared with those who have not been new for a long time and have been doing little, Li Gefei, the nominal highest-ranking official and political envoy, has always been obsessed with calligraphy, painting, literature and art, and pushed most of the affairs to his subordinates, and obviously lacked the transfer envoy Zeng Hua;

However, he is a real power figure involved in both military and political aspects, and he is also the general coordinator of the dual system of local military and administrative institutions at all levels.

The various matters that need to be involved in this are also quite trivial and complicated, so he can only choose to focus on one side and slightly let go of the affairs on the other side......

In fact, the scope of authority is much broader than that of the number two person in the army, who is also a perennial candidate for the rear, Xin Jiaxuan, the deputy envoy of Zhizhen Fu and the commander of the right guard army of the camp.

As a result, he also seems to have become one of the preferred objects of investment and seeking a background in the rear, with his military and old origins, so that he is a little annoyed.

Why can't you settle down and do things well, and have to think of a way to speculate on that shortcut, he thought with some distress.

But at least compared to Xin Jiaxuan, the first deputy envoy who was born in a slight cold background and lacked background, and was a little troublesome, Lu Wuguan's prominent family background and far-reaching background had already blocked most of the troubles from his personal favor and official face.

Therefore, he deliberately set specific standards and requirements more calmly, and then selected a plural number of suitable objects from the list recommended by his family, and then decided whether to sell this favor under the same conditions, or asked the family to get rid of it.

Although Lugong has been retired for many years, his prestige and origins in the army and the opposition still remain, and there are many descendants of relatives and generals around him, so he needs to get the opportunity to be promoted and recommended by the main family.

And his father Lu Shilang has been in politics for many years, and he also has his own officialdom circle and old people, so he has to sell some face and friendship.

Although these compromises and exchanges are obviously unacceptable, in actual operation, they are also endorsed and confirmed by Luo Zhenfu.

After all, the Lu family contributed a lot in the previous move to support the Luo family's mansion, and took the initiative to stand on the table, so it should have this reward and reward. But the more this is the case, the more Lu Wuguan himself has to emphasize the double check and selection of his family and his own side.

The mixed birth title that is arranged in an orderly manner is no problem with pre-military qualifications. But if you really want to let some candidate with few virtues and talents steal a useful position, and open the head of mismanagement and neglect of government, it is really harmful to others and yourself, and it is also ridiculous and generous with the reputation of the Lu family for many years.

Relatively speaking, Xin Jiaxuan is much more troublesome, although the Xin family is a small family, but it can't stand the development, and a large number of people suddenly come out to climb relatives and old friends.

He wasn't so polite to him. Xin Jiaxuan only slightly mentioned the standards and requirements, or expressed a few excuses, and all kinds of strange words and non-words behind him were already in the dust. Such as ingratitude, small-mindedness, forgetting wealth and wealth have come out.

But as long as he can become the Dongchuan fast son-in-law of Longque Garden, this qiē is not a problem, and the Lu family has enough power and means to maintain his dignity and dignity.

After all, his sister Lu Sheng has already passed, and she is still waiting for the best age in the boudoir, and this deputy Xin Zhen has come to marry with dignity. As an elder brother and a colleague of the other party, how can you not worry about it.

"It's really a lump of elms, and it will continue to be delayed for many years."

He couldn't help but sigh and said, can't he just be a little flexible.

With Xin Jiaxuan's current identity and authority, it is enough to be called the standard of success, even if the grade and ministry are a little insufficient, but it is also within the acceptable range of the Lu family, and not many people will say that it is Gao Pan.

There are even people who have successively concealed or knocked on the side to hint at the concept of land affairs. You can urge that Xin Zhen deputy to complete the marriage with his sister as much as possible, so that the second and third seats in the army can be more closely connected, and the voice from the Lu family can be more powerful in the army; and even with the arbitrary Luo Zhenfu, the itinerary is divided into courts,

Maybe he would have hesitated about it before. But after so many things, Lu Wuguan only felt as if it were, disgusting and indignant as if he had swallowed flies alive on the spot. Why do good things come to the hearts of these people, and they have become intrigue positions and utilitarian calculations.

In this regard, he did not hesitate to find a few people whose hair was falling, and swept these people out of the house and drove them back to the south.

But he was told by that again, the foundation of the Qingzhou frontier has just settled down and started to get on the track, but there are already people in the rear who can't wait to tear down the platform and weaken the army from the inside, and even provoke disputes and disturbances to profit from it, so as to punish everyone's selfish desires

After returning to Yidu again, I am also checking the achievements and effectiveness of army building in various places over the past half a year.

According to the example of the new army, the most basic tactical unit is the battalion and regiment, and the smallest establishment is the battalion, among which the commander is the commander and the small standard-bearer, and there are two lightly armed gunmen, who are responsible for pulling horses and carrying heavy loads in wartime.

The soldiers were tithes and eleven members, of which three were lightly armed and not approved for armor, and were responsible for pulling horses and carrying heavy loads in wartime; Among them, there are white soldiers and spearmen, white soldiers wear half-body armor and carry four wooden bows, and spearmen wear one-piece armor and carry five crossbows.

The four are organized into a fire, and there are also the chief and deputy fire chiefs/heads and trumpeters, a total of forty-five members; The three fires were organized into a team, and there were the main and deputy team generals, and the banners, trumpeters, clerks, and miscellaneous assistants, etc., and the Yigong corps had 142 members, and the combat corps had a total of 160 members.

The three teams were organized into a regiment, including one team of soldiers and two teams of soldiers, with a total of 390 members, including the chief and deputy captains/generals, reserve generals, marquis, instructors, material officers, and guards, clerks, and gong trumpeters.

In this way, as the smallest independent unit of field mobility, if it encounters various emergencies or disasters, the chief officer dies not long after engaging in battle, at this time, the lieutenant continues to command, and the lieutenant is also killed, and Yu Hou (military judge) takes over the command in order, and after the military judge is killed, the instructor (staff adjutant) continues to command, and the staff officer dies, then the material officer takes over.

If the regimental commander, dispatch officer, and material officer are all killed in battle, the subordinate chief veteran team will take over.

Therefore, at the regimental level, even if almost all the commanders in charge of the command are lost, the remaining troops can continue to fight for a long time without confusion until they are out of battle, and most of the formations have a probability of being saved.

Then, on the basis of lessons learned, it will be supplemented and rebuilt in a short time. To be able to do this, it is already quite close to the standards of organization and construction of modern armies. This is also one of the important differences between the modern army and the classical army.

Of course, because of the focus of resource investment and specific experience, those who can meet this condition in front of them are several veteran battalion leaders with exclusive names in the left army of the imperial camp; and among the other three major military orders, as the basic standard and model, the first sequence of veteran battalions; And then the direct pacesetter battalion and the teaching brigade can barely be counted.

In the regiment, there is a battalion system, which is divided into a number of large and small, which is the most basic combat unit of the dynasty.

With two regiments and one team as a small battalion, about 900 people, it is mostly seen in the second and third line troops such as unity and guarding soldiers in garrison areas; The third regiment is about 1,300 people in the middle battalion, and it is also the standard subordinate of the armies at the front of the country;

The four regiments are large battalions, including the general (Zhichong Du Wei), the deputy general (Guo Yi Du Wei), the brigadier general (brigade commander), the marquis Yu, the staff officer, the material officer, etc., and the battalion guards, mules and horses, vehicle management, secretary and secretary office and other subordinate personnel, there is a quota of 1,800 people.

Therefore, only a small number of elite divisions and ace troops, as well as the Gongwei and the palace-front armies in Tongjin, can be established in the large battalion system.

And now under my command, that is, the Imperial Left Army, which is directly under the base camp seniority, the first to fourth battalion heads; The first and second battalions of the right guard of the camp, as well as the first battalion directly under the former army, have a total of six numbers before they are eligible to have the allocation of the large battalion.

In addition to garrison battalions and supplementary battalions in the nature of garrisons and military stations, the main combat establishment is at least three or four thousand, which is enough to form a local defensive counterattack advantage in a specific direction.

Therefore, two or three soldiers and horses can be collectively called an army, and under the integration of suitable people, it is enough to take the initiative to launch a local war, and those who are qualified to lead the army all the way are currently under my command, and the number of people who are not more than one-handed is not more than one-handed.

Therefore, if I decide to lead the team to take the initiative to attack, I will at least use the military scale as a dispatch unit, and at least maintain the basic combat strength of at least six main combat battalions in the direction of the attack, as well as at least four garrison battalions in the rear, so as to assume the role of patrolling, protecting food, and stationing units.

Depending on the distance of the predetermined attack distance, the passage of the departure and the line of return, the specific rearguard forces and the levy of labor will be increased or decreased.

As a major characteristic of this army, it is to place special emphasis on the combat effectiveness of firearms under sufficient logistical support, coupled with reconnaissance and early warning means of sufficient scale and frequency, and as meticulous preset staff operations as possible, so as to reduce uncertain factors on the battlefield and establish an invincible position as much as possible.

After all, it is a good thing to be able to fight the enemy with food, but if there is really no distinction between priority and priority, and the safety of the army is pinned on the means of these raiding places, it will be dogmatism and stupidity that cannot be eaten. As the saying goes, "follow the route of adventure and opportunism all the way to the end of one's own life".

In this way, the four major armies of the Imperial Left and Right Guards, the Front Army and the Qingzhou Guard, have already been organized to 26 battalions in the main battle and 13 battalions in defense.

In addition to the equipment mainly firearms, there is still a considerable gap, and all the soldiers and training have been on a benign track of gradual progress under the plan of helping them step by step.

Therefore, at present, there are more than 50,000 full-time regular army members under my command, of which more than 37,000 are combat soldiers of the main rank.

This still does not include the specific military size of each directly subordinate unit under the two major sequences of the tooth soldiers under my name and the Yu Hou army under the name of the envoy.

When the autumn harvest is coming to an end, my next step is to board a ship and go to sea to be a major minister in a town outside Jiangning, and to visit the base camp and Lingwai for the first time.
