readx; Although it took at least seven or eight days to formulate the name of the "Ming Army" between Jingshi and Luoyang, the formation of the army began on the second day after the recovery of Luoyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Zhu Youzhen is nothing but a false and wrongful attitude to the officials, and he has long made up his mind that whether the ministers agree to it or not, this vital reform must be carried out.

Of course, the reform is not as simple as the upper lip touching the lower lip, and the reform of the military household system is much more complicated than recruiting Qin soldiers who were originally peasant households. Because the military household system is not only to provide soldiers, but also a complete set of systems, the core content of which is to set aside military land for military households, and military households do not accept land, but also to be self-sufficient. Therefore, in reforming the military household system, it is necessary to reform both the "people" and the "land" at the same time, otherwise it will not be possible.

Since a new army is to be formed, it is natural to appoint a chief general first. It is also up to them to carry out all the specific reform measures, otherwise Zhu Youzhen will not be able to complete the reform of the national guard army even if he dies of exhaustion. Of course, Zhu Youzhen is now in Luoyang, and he can teach them hand-in-hand, which can be regarded as the first reform pilot. After the reform is successful here, the experience can be gradually spread to the whole country, and Zhu Youzhen can let go of the people below to do it.

Of course, the original generals of the various guards could not be used, and Zhu Youzhen could only be promoted from among the generals in the Beijing camp. But now that the war is raging, the generals would rather take their troops to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions than come to Luoyang to take over a very poor quality army. If too many generals are transferred, Zhu Youzhen is worried that he will be dragged into a protracted war by the rebels, which is really a dilemma.

After careful consideration, Zhu Youzhen decided to use Li Dingguo's troops to take a short rest and recuperate, enter Shaanxi through Hujiao Pass and Tongguan, and join forces with Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting to deal with his "old friend" Gao Yingxiang. The frontal battlefield was mainly handed over to Lu Xiangsheng and Meng Gong, allowing them to give full play to their absolute superiority in firearms and give a continuous heavy blow to Hong Chengchou's department, which had the strongest combat effectiveness.

As for the Eastern Front, it was handed over to Hao Yongzhong's cavalry troops. Because he was born as a thief, he knows the military habits of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others well. After Cao Wenzhao's Guanning iron cavalry stabilized the situation in Nanjing, General Hao Cao could give full play to the advantages of cavalry mobility and agility to carry out short assaults on the weaker troops among the thieves. After the collapse of Hong Chengchou in the middle road, the rebels on the east and west roads could not take care of each other, so they could find an opportunity to launch a decisive battle.

In this way, only Li Laiheng's troops have no tasks for the time being and can be used as a general reserve. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen could only draw generals from his subordinates, and after the recommendation and overall consideration of Li Laiheng, Li Dingguo and others, Zhu Youzhen decided to form the first division of the Ming Army, appointing Wu Ming as the division commander and Li Shouyi as the commander.

Of course, this is just an internal title, and the official products of the two are still according to the old system, and Gou is obviously promoted to the deputy chief military officer of the second rank, and Li Shouyi is promoted to the commander of the second rank. Gou is obviously in charge of the military, because he was seriously injured, he is now recuperating in Luoyang, and there is no need to lead troops for the time being, and the main work is handed over to Li Shouyi to do.

No one, including Li Dingguo and other generals, understood why Zhu Youzhen would arrange two main generals for a single army. In particular, Gou Ming and Li Shouyi are both independent generals, and now the two of them are leading a new army, which seems to be a little wasteful.

Only Zhu Youzhen knew in his heart that he was learning from the "political commissar" system of our army in his previous life. Throughout the ages, any ruler has known to use the military to maintain his rule, but it is precisely the military that is most prone to rebellion, as if they were digging their own graves. The root cause of this is that these monarchs only know how to use money and benefits to entrap generals and armies. As long as someone bids higher, or the leading general intends to rebel and stand on his own, this army will inevitably rebel mercilessly, and all the previous investments of the monarch will be wasted. From ancient times to the present day, there are countless examples of this.

The political commissar system was created by our army by borrowing from the Soviet Red Army and combining its own characteristics, and its most prominent feature is that it has established the party's absolute leadership over the army. Now Zhu Youzhen has "crossed" this system again, and also hopes to build the Ming Army into a soulful army, so that every ordinary soldier knows that he is fighting for himself, his family, the nation, and the country, not for food and merit.

Such an army will never betray the nation or the country, and even if a few generals have problems, they will be unanimously resisted by officers and men, and they will not be able to mobilize the army for disaster. When the Qin soldiers were formed before, this issue was not urgent; Now that it is time to carry out the reform of the whole system, Zhu Youzhen will of course add this content, which he considers to be very important. Not only the new army, but even the old army of the Qin soldiers, the role of "political commissar" should also be added in the future, but it should be replaced with the easy-to-understand name of "commander".

Zhu Youzhen made clear stipulations on the division of labor between division commanders and commanders. The division commander is the commander-in-chief in military affairs, has command authority during combat, and is responsible for training, logistics, and administrative management in peacetime. The commander is the chief officer in politics, who is responsible for ideological work in peacetime and assists the division commander in combat. In the event that a division commander is unable to perform his duties for any reason, the commander may temporarily exercise command authority on behalf of the division commander. After the establishment of the organization, the lower-level organization should also set up a "political commissar" down to the company.

As for the formation of the Ming Army, this is simple. With the successful experience of the Qin soldiers, Zhu Youzhen continued to copy the structure of the modern army, and set up five levels below the division level: regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad.

The squad to the company adopts the three-three system, with ten people in each shift, three shifts are one row, three rows are one company, and one company has about 100 people. One battalion has four companies and some platoons and squads directly under its command, with about 500 people. One regiment had four battalions of about 2,000 men. The division has three regiments under its jurisdiction, with a full strength of more than 6,000 people. Because the quality of the soldiers is too low and the equipment is poor, this first division is a pure infantry division, equipped with only a few war horses and a small number of firearms, and there are only two tasks in the near future, one is to fill the force as soon as possible, and the other is to guard Luoyang.

In order to start the first shot of military reform, Zhu Youzhen personally summoned Wu Ming and Li Shouyi. He was clearly in excellent physical condition, and although he was seriously injured, he was able to walk on the ground. Among the generals in their echelon, Gou was obviously the first to be promoted and reused. It is a great honor to be the commander of the first division, and of course he is overjoyed. Although Zhu Youzhen asked him to sit down, he couldn't sit still for a moment like a monkey burning his butt.

In comparison, Li Shouyi is much calmer. While quietly listening to Zhu Youzhen's instructions, he pondered intently, and raised any doubts directly to Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen also has high hopes for the pair, they move and move, hurry and slow, quite like Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang in "Bright Sword", and the cooperation is absolutely perfect.

After this meeting, Wu Mingming and Li Shouyi were immediately ordered to go to the army, and the vigorous reform of the military system began.
