After talking about government affairs, Zhao Ziliang looked at Chu Ge, Li Siye, Li Sheng, Blehan, Xuan Yi, Xuan Er, Xuan Si, Chen Qing, Gong Ren, Huang Fuxian, Wang Zhen, Wang Can, Xuan Shibai and other military generals and asked, "Does the military have something to play?" ”

Several military generals looked at each other, Chu Ge stood up with a book of recitals and saluted with his fists: "King, two years ago, under the auspices of the king, I Xiqin began to implement the compulsory military system, these compulsory soldiers are only responsible for local garrisons, and they have served for three years. Therefore, the last general believes that our Western Qin army can be divided into a first-line army and a second-line army, and the first-line army is a standing army, which is a professional army; The second-line army is a compulsory army, a reserve army, but all retired soldiers are also in the reserve, and if there is a war, they must obey the call-up. In the future www.biquge.info, you can hand over the security and garrison of various places to the conscripts, and the standing army will be responsible for the attack! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Your idea is very good, is it written into a specific statement?" ”

"Yes, King! The last general has been written into a note, please look at it! After Chu Ge finished speaking, he presented the music with both hands.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to Zhao Lei who was standing under the steps, Zhao Lei immediately stepped forward to take the piece and sent it to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang opened it and looked at it carefully, and said while reading: "Chu Ge, you give the specific ideas to the generals and adults!" ”

"Yes, King!"

After Chu Ge agreed, he immediately explained: "The king, the generals, my lord, my idea is this, divide all the armies of Western Qin into three parts: first, the forbidden army. There are now three forbidden armies, namely the Guards, the Guards, and the Dragon Guards, which are responsible for the security of the king, the palace, and the royal family! In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, whether it is an ordinary soldier of the forbidden army or an officer or general, there must be strict regulations on age, service experience, and length of service, and when the age is reached, they must retire or return to the original army. In addition, half of the forbidden army, whether it is the Escort Army, the Guards or the Dragon Guard, must have half of them in practice every day to maintain their combat capability.

Second, it is a standing army! Before our army, there were nine legions of the standing army and one scout army (Huya army), a total of 128,000 people! After fighting the Khazarian War, the king used the surrendered 10,000 Khazars to form a slave army, and General Zhao Hu was ordered to form and train a naval army of 12,000 people on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, so we now have ten regiments, a scout army, and a naval army, a total of 150,000 people! 150,000 people are responsible for conquering foreign countries and crusading against non-ministers, which is more than enough! The legions of the Standing Army are stationed in various places for training in peacetime, and are called out for expeditions in wartime, and the garrison can change at any time, or they can be stationed in the border areas where the situation is slightly tense or transferred to sparsely populated places for training, or they can be transferred to Henglus to participate in the review! The strength of the standing army was partly recruited from all parts of the Western Qin Dynasty to recruit people who were able-bodied, capable of riding and shooting, and skilled in martial arts, and partly from those who were about to be discharged from the conscripts; In the future, officers and generals must have read, be literate, and be able to write and count.

Thirdly, the reserves! The reserve army includes the conscripts who are serving and the retired conscripts and professional soldiers! The conscripts who are currently serving are responsible for the local security garrison of each prefecture, prefecture, and prefecture! Generally speaking, a county cannot be less than one battalion (1,000 men) of conscripts, and in order to prevent local officials from colluding with conscripts, whether they are generals, officers or soldiers, they must be people from other places! For example, soldiers, generals, or officers born within the boundaries of the Tsukiji Metropolitan Protectorate were not allowed to serve in the territory of the Tsukiji Metropolitan Protectorate.

Now I have a total of 180,000 conscripts serving in Xiqin, which is enough to guard local security, plus 40,000 retired professional army officers and soldiers, a total of 220,000 reserve troops! Nearly one-third of the conscripts will be retired from the military starting next year, and there will be about 120,000 conscripts in service! If there is a large-scale war between Western Qin and other surrounding countries, if the strength of the standing army is insufficient, the reserve army must be used, and the reserve army will be called up first to serve the compulsory army, then the retired professional army, and finally the retired compulsory army!

In order to alleviate the financial pressure on the royal court as much as possible, the reserve army should also reduce military expenditures as much as possible, and the current annual living allowance for each conscription is three yuan, which will remain unchanged for the time being. In addition to military uniforms, blankets, shoes and socks, other weapons, armor, and bows and crossbows used by the reserve army are all used ordnance and equipment eliminated by the standing army, and the military expenditure of the reserve army is controlled as much as possible within 2 million per year! With the forbidden army, the standing army and the reserve army respectively performing various different functions, then our Western Qin will not have a military strength pattern of internal and external importance, even if there are rebellions and rebellions within our Western Qin, the compulsory army is enough to quell the chaos! Although the Central Plains Imperial Court also has a government army to guard the place locally, the government army only has a name and no actual soldiers, and it has already become an empty shelf, so the people of Anshi can kill Luoyang in just one month from the beginning of the army, and as long as the compulsory military system is not abolished in our Western Qin, this situation will not occur! ”

After Chu Ge finished speaking, Zhao Ziliang looked at the military generals and said, "What is General Chu's thoughts?" If you have different opinions or need to be supplemented, you can write a note and present it to the king, and this matter will be discussed at the first court meeting after the Spring Festival! However, there is one thing that General Chu said that this king strongly agrees with, that in the future, generals and officers must have read, be able to read and hyphenation, and be able to write and calculate. The Military Aircraft Academy should also send a special letter to all military departments, ordering officers and colonels who are illiterate, unable to write, or count to study immediately, and to ask for advice; in short, they must get rid of the status of illiteracy, and thereafter they must conduct an annual assessment of generals, colonels, and officers; those who fail to pass the examination shall be suspended from military posts first, and then reinstated after passing the examination! In addition, the king decided to build the Western Qin Military Academy, with the king himself as the president, this academy specializes in training officers, school officers and generals, and all the officers, school officers and generals of our Western Qin Army will graduate from this military academy after studying!

"This ······" Whether it is the generals or the officials, they all began to discuss, if such a military academy is really built, then the people who can be professors in this academy must not be ordinary people, especially the gentlemen who want to be generals, this person's status is only afraid that it will not be low, and when others say that the students of so-and-so are generals, this kind of reputation is too powerful.

At this time, Li Sheng stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King, according to the king's statement, if the officers, colonels and generals of our army will all graduate from this academy in the future, then won't ordinary soldiers never come out?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course not, ordinary non-commissioned officers can apply for the officer class of the Military Academy through their own efforts!" Ordinary non-commissioned officers who can apply for the examination must meet the necessary conditions: first, they must perform well in the army; Second, there are military merits! If there is no war to fight in peacetime, meritorious service must be performed; Third, the family background is innocent! Fourth, literacy, reading, writing and arithmetic! ”

"There are only three classes in the military academy, namely the general officer class, the school officer class and the officer class, there are no mediocre talents here, only elites, because the responsibility of the person who goes here to study is the life of all his subordinates and the homeland security of Western Qin, therefore, mediocrity and stupidity will not appear in this academy, this military academy will not limit the family background, even if he is born in an ordinary people's family, or even a slave family, as long as he has the ability to be admitted to this academy, he can enter and study! Some of the cadets of the officer class are sergeants and soldiers with outstanding performance; the other part is recruited from the private sector; There is also a part of it that is recommended by generals at the level of generals in the army! The school officer class and the general class do not need to take exams, the students are all from the army, and the students of the school officer class need to be recommended by their superiors, and the number of students in the general class can only be decided by the king. What kind of people can enter the school official class and the general official class to study? The officer is about to be promoted to the officer, the officer is about to be promoted to the general, and the officer can only enter these two classes to study! ”

Zhao Ziliang paused when he said this, and after taking a sip of water, he continued: "Speaking of officers, colonels and generals, this king has recently wanted to change the military rank system of my Western Qin, the military rank system of the Central Plains Imperial Court is too cumbersome, and there are too many names to remember. After this period of consideration, there is already a preliminary idea! ”

"First of all, the whole army is divided into five ranks: the first rank, the marshal! At the moment, only the rank of this king is marshal! The second level, the rank of general, is divided into three levels, from high to low, they are generals, lieutenant generals and major generals, only generals have titles, such as Zhennan General, Zhenbei General, Zhengbei General, etc.; The third level is the rank of school officer, which are colonel, lieutenant colonel and major; The fourth rank, which is the rank of lieutenant, is the first lieutenant, second lieutenant and second lieutenant! The fifth class, which is the non-commissioned officer level, is Sergeant Major, Sergeant and Sergeant! Recruits are privates, and after one year of service, they are automatically promoted to corporal! The sergeant is generally appointed as the deputy sergeant, the sergeant as the sergeant, the sergeant major as the team officer, and the second lieutenant as the deputy chief; A lieutenant or captain shall be the head of the capital, a captain or major shall be the deputy brigade commander, a lieutenant colonel shall be the brigade commander or lieutenant, and a colonel shall be the battalion officer or lieutenant; Major generals serve as subordinate generals, and lieutenant generals or generals serve as corps commanders! The corresponding military rank should be appointed to the corresponding military position, and if there are no special circumstances, no appointment shall be overstepped! Once the new military rank system is promulgated, then the military ranks of all the generals and colonels in the army will be automatically converted into the corresponding new military ranks! ”
