Tan Feng ordered the formation of this grenadier training camp, which was also to prepare for the grenadiers as an official branch of the army in the future. Tan Feng did not intend to distribute grenades to soldiers according to the habits of later generations, but to use them in a centralized manner.www.biquge.info As long as people who understand some military affairs know that firepower can be used intensively to burst out with sufficient power.

The more limited resources are, the more important it is to concentrate on them. Napoleon's use of artillery advocated the centralized use of artillery, which became the principle of many later commanders. Didn't even the founding Taizu of New China advocate concentrating superior forces and then eating a part of the enemy? This shows that the more scarce the resources, the more we need to concentrate resources to achieve greater results.

Tan Feng's current firepower is insufficient, so the more he needs to concentrate his firepower to use it to have a strategic effect. Otherwise, it would be a waste to use these grenades separately.

"Xu Qifeng, in the future, I plan to set up a training director department, and you will serve as the training director, responsible for the training of various arms. At present, we should first pay attention to the training of this grenadier, this grenadier will be our most important firepower output in the future, so this is very important. We don't have artillery, so we have to get a good grasp of the training of this grenadier. If hundreds of thousands of Manchu troops came to attack in the future, it would not be without artillery. But we can't form artillery at the moment, so we can only form this grenadier. ”

"As for the training director of this training director department, he is half a level higher than an ordinary division commander and enjoys the status of deputy military rank. In the future, all departments of our central government will, in principle, be half a rank higher than the officers of the subordinate units. ”

Tan Feng felt that the current number of troops under his command was increasing day by day, and the original single cavalry and infantry had become more than only cavalry. Even within the cavalry infantry there was more division, the cavalry had hussars, chassers, rangers. The infantry also began to divide in more detail, began to differentiate into ordinary infantry, transports, motorized infantry, engineering troops, and even now grenadiers have come out.

In the final analysis, the refinement of the arms is an important sign that the army is moving toward specialization and regularization. The more advanced the army, the more detailed the division of labor between the arms, and the stronger the comprehensive combat effectiveness.

However, it will also bring a problem, that is, such a complex training of the troops, if there is no unified management department, it will be easy to mess up. In this way, it is imperative to set up a department specifically responsible for the comprehensive training of all branches of the armed forces. If there is no department dedicated to military training, the recruits and training camps will be left unaccountable, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Clearly defining the powers and responsibilities and even the status of those training departments is also an important basis for improving the work efficiency of the officers and men of those training departments. Otherwise, if they have been working in the training department for a long time, they will not be able to accurately define what kind of unit they belong to, and this will also be an important issue for their mental instability.

It is imperative to set up a department dedicated to managing training. Tan Feng appointed Xu Qifeng as the training director of the training director department because Xu Qifeng had a sufficient status, and he had been in charge of multiple arms before, and he was familiar with multiple arms. What's more, Xu Qifeng is one of the first two cavalry regiment commanders, and he has led cavalry and infantry, so he has a good resume.

"Thank you, Commander Tan!" Xu Qifeng said.

Of course, Xu Qifeng felt happy, because he was promoted. Xu Qifeng also understood that under Tan Feng's new military system, it was almost impossible for there to be a warlord. Tan Feng's new military system is the crystallization of the wisdom of many generations, and under such a complete military system, the possibility of becoming a warlord is almost zero.

So of course Xu Qifeng didn't dare to be ambitious, even if he was now relieved of the right to lead troops on the front line, but he also understood that he was serving in the central department of the army, and his status was definitely greater than that of leading troops at the front. For the most part, the head of the central bureaucratic department in ancient times was much higher than the local official.

Just like the central departments of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shangshu had a higher status than the local governors, and after being appointed as the training director, he once again went to another realm. From then on, Xu Qifeng can be on the same level as Wang Jingwen in terms of official position, of course, this is only from the official position is equal, as for personal feelings and trust, Xu Qifeng cannot be compared with Wang Jingwen's status in Tan Feng's heart.

"In the future, our training team will also be gradually assigned to your training director department for management, and the training director department will also be responsible for the training of non-commissioned officers in the future. However, it is not the time yet, because the current training of non-commissioned officers is not suitable for direct decoupling from the subordinate units, and if it is rashly decoupled, it will increase the run-in cost of our troops, which is also inappropriate. When the time comes, when we have defeated the attack of hundreds of thousands of Manchu troops, I will also order the teaching teams of each unit to be transferred to the training director's department. ”

"Even at that time, I had to split the functions of the teaching corps. The Teaching Corps is only responsible for the training of senior non-commissioned officers and technical non-commissioned officers, and the part of the training of officers will be established as a military academy. The training director is in charge of ordinary low-level military schools, and the high-level military schools are in charge of the headquarters. ”

Tan Feng made a promise to Xu Qifeng here, which was the promised power after defeating the Manchu attack in the future. The power of this training director department is still not small, and it is responsible for the training of low-level officers and non-commissioned officers, and the real power is not small.

Of course, it is not yet the time to split and separate those major teaching teams from the various units, because the war will start in a few months, and it is not suitable to split and decouple them immediately. This will bring greater run-in problems to the training and future distribution of non-commissioned officers of various units, and will increase the run-in cost, which is not suitable for immediate operation when the time is urgent.

However, this split is also imperative, otherwise once the various units directly control the power to train non-commissioned officers and even low-level officers, it will not be convenient for the headquarters to control the army, and problems may arise in the long run.

Of course, the current time is too urgent, and it is not suitable to take the initiative to add all kinds of additional costs immediately. You can't do this until you defeat the Manchu army attack.
