The training of soldiers and officers is not difficult to solve, that is, the reform of the army's system, which is a bit troublesome for Liu Hong.

Liu Hong has never been a soldier and is not a military fan. Therefore, he knows very little about the army. It is not an ordinary difficulty for him to come up with a perfect military system at once.

Liu Hong, according to the fragmentary military information in his mind, after thinking about it, he didn't know how much it took to run hard before he reluctantly came up with a reform plan.

However, Liu Hong knows that this thing is definitely on paper. If this is carried out, the consequences are unpredictable.

But Liu Hong has a way, he doesn't have military knowledge, but he can talk to someone. There are a lot of people with military knowledge, so just find a few to come over and ask.

Besides, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang. Even if they weren't sure if he would get the reform plan to work, they could always give some reasonable advice.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong began to recruit. Liu Qi and Sangong Jiuqing, although they don't know much about this aspect. But their status is high enough, and such a thing will definitely fall behind them. As for the others, Liu Hong recalled the history and decided to call the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Huangfu Gui, the Duliao General Zhang Huan, and the Henan Yin Li Ying to help him staff and staff officers. Originally, Liu Hong still wanted to find Duan Cheng, but now, Duan Cheng was still fighting with Xian Lingqiang, so Liu Hong could only give up.

After everyone came, Liu Hong got the plan from him and handed it to everyone for their opinions.

According to the actual situation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong divided the army into a field army and a national guard in terms of plan.

The field army, which is responsible for foreign operations and border defense, is divided into nine military regions. The National Guard, on the other hand, is only responsible for the internal defense of the states and assists in patrolling to catch major criminals.

The National Guard is a compulsory soldier with a three-year military system. The people of the Han Dynasty are at least eighteen, and unless there are special circumstances, they must join it. However, the National Guard generally does not carry out transfers. Because, they are all local youths from all over the world. Therefore, they do not have a station, and they are not much different from ordinary people, and they also live in their respective homes. It's just a matter of gathering in your spare time and at a specific time to train.

The field army, on the other hand, belongs to the regular army. Later, his recruitment was carried out only in the National Guard.

As for the field army, everyone has no opinion, but this National Guard, they don't quite understand. The veteran Huangfu Gui asked directly: "Your Majesty, if you are in a national guard, if you are usually the same as ordinary people, can you still be counted as an army?" ”

"That's what I think, old general." Liu Hong began to explain to them, "This National Guard is not an army, it can be regarded as a militia organization. The reason why I want to form it is to let the whole people receive some necessary military training. You can defend yourself in peacetime, and if you join the army, you can quickly adapt to the life of the army. ”

"Oh, Your Majesty has thought this very well." Huangfu Gui nodded, expressed his affirmation, and then asked, "Then what is the purpose of Your Majesty to get these ranks?" ”

"That's what I thought." Saying that, Liu Hong explained: "After soldiers go to the battlefield, they only rely on the command of the generals, which has many drawbacks. Especially when there are too many people, they often can't command. In particular, as soon as there is an accident with a general, the army will immediately be in chaos. In order to put an end to this kind of thing, I have made this military rank, the position is high and low, clear and clear, so that people can know it at a glance. In this way, on the battlefield, it does not matter if the command position is high and the command position is low, whether there are generals or not. ”

As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, Zhang Huan expressed his approval, "Your Majesty has a good idea, and it easily solves the problem of commanding the soldiers, making the battle a lot easier." ”

"yes, good idea."

"It's a good idea!"

Others agreed.

At this time, Tai Lieutenant Liu Ju spoke, "Your Majesty, your military rank is very good. But isn't it too cumbersome for His Majesty to divide it into five classes and eighteen levels? ”

Liu Hong didn't think much about this aspect, but just referred to the military ranks of later generations, and made a five-class eighteen-level: the fifth class is divided into four levels, divided into private, corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, and the fourth class is also divided into four levels of warrant officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, and captain, and the third class is divided into three levels, major, lieutenant colonel and colonel, and the second class is divided into five levels, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, general, and general, and the first class is divided into two levels, marshal and generalissimo.

Among them, the generalissimo can only be held by the emperor, and no matter how powerful the others are, they can only be awarded the rank of marshal. And it's not that military merits can't be crowned generals, Liu Hong doesn't want to have singing generals and dancing marshals in his army, such a funny thing.

Before Liu Hong could answer, Li Ying spoke, "Lord Taiwei, it is the best thing for Your Majesty to divide the rank of the military into so many ranks." In this way, all the soldiers can see the hope of rising. If there are only a few levels, people will find it difficult to get promoted, and they will lose the motivation to fight. ”

"Yes, that's right."

Liu Ju nodded, and the others also expressed their approval.

After figuring out these things, it came to the main event, Liu Hong got those military management departments. In order to facilitate the management of the army, Liu Hong set up the Military Aircraft Department in the plan, which was the highest management department of the army to manage military affairs, and the emperor was the generalissimo and the supreme commander of the Military Aircraft Department.

The Military Aircraft Department has a staff department: to study operations, formulate strategies, and plant spies.

Political Department: Educates non-commissioned officers and supervises military discipline.

Logistics Department: Production, purchase of military supplies, to meet the needs of the army.

Military courts: responsible for cases involving the military.

The armed forces are divided into companies, battalions, regiments, divisions, and armies, and have military chiefs and political commanders.

Military commanders, who are responsible for military activities such as military command and training of soldiers, and in the military, they have absolute power.

The political chief officer is the instructor of the company, the instructor of the battalion, and the political commissar above the regiment, who is used to educate the soldiers ideologically at all times to ensure that the army will always be loyal to the emperor. The political chief is only responsible for political work, and even if the military chief is removed, he is temporarily replaced by the military chief at the next level to wait for the reappointment of the superior, and the political chief will not take over.

The regimental commander and above do not directly lead the troops, and the training is based on the company, and the army is not a permanent military unit, but is only temporarily set up in wartime, and it will be abolished after the war.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of the army, all officers are regularly rotated, and once every three years is the rule, and officers will be evaluated before rotation.

Liu Hong's military reform was too far ahead of its time, and everyone didn't see any loopholes. Although a lot of suggestions have been put forward in the details, whether it is suitable or not can only be implemented and slowly studied and rectified.

But when he got this, Liu Hong was already very satisfied, so many talents didn't find faults, and his reform was basically a success. He pondered that the ones who still threatened him now were the private soldiers of each family. If they are taken again, his throne will be completely safeguarded.

Liu Hong put Liu Fu, Zhang Huan, Huang Fugui, Duan Cheng, and Li Ying into the Military Machinery Department and put them in charge of the formation of the new military department.

They were very happy to be reused. Those new military departments are also being formed rapidly. But at this time. The training of the army has reached a certain level. Next, it is necessary to conduct actual combat training, otherwise it will not be able to become a strong army.

Now that Liu Hong is already the emperor, he doesn't have to trouble as before, and he has to pass the test in a real battle. Now he just let the army go to suppress the bandits, as long as all the bandits in the Han are exterminated, the army will be trained.

In the reorganization of the army, there is a special department, that is, the post station. Originally, it didn't matter, it was all from the imperial court, but now that the military and government are separated, its management power is not clear, whether it belongs to the army or is placed in the court, after all, it can be used in both aspects.

Liu Hong attaches great importance to the post station, after all, he knows that the fall of the Ming Dynasty in the future was made by Li Zicheng from the post station.

After some research, Liu Hong finally decided to change the post station into a post office. The management of the post office is under the control of the imperial court, but the military can use it for free, and it is still preferential, as long as it is used urgently, or according to the previous rules, the 600 li expedited, 600 li expedited, changed to 800 li expedited, 800 li expedited, after all, there is no trivial matter in military affairs. In normal times, it is a waste for the post office to be idle, and it is completely possible for him to deliver letters to civilians, and the expenses obtained can also be used for ordinary maintenance, which is definitely a double win.
