Chapter Fifty-Seven: Tiger Ben Expands the Army (2)

"Good, good! That's what I've been waiting for!

Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures!

As long as we and our kings and ministers are of one heart and one mind, I will have the confidence to defeat all enemies who come to us;

As long as I, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, are not greedy for money, and the military attaché is not afraid of death, I have the confidence to make the Ming Dynasty strong again, let the former humiliation become eternal history, and wash away the former shame with the blood of the enemy! ”

At this moment, Chongzhen was very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this turbulent autumn, the return of the generals is like a sweet spring in the desert, with these, Chongzhen has the capital to fight. Otherwise, no matter how good the ideal is, it will become a castle in the sky, a moon in the water!

Chongzhen looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and the sword in his hand was tightened. In the air, the martial arts moved, flipped and moved, only to see the sword flower flowing, like a clear spring, in Chongzhen's hands undulating!

At this moment, when the generals shouted out the heroic words that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time, Chongzhen knew that the senior officers of the Tiger Ben Left Guard had completely returned to their hearts.

Some people may wonder if Chongzhen can anticipate the danger that will occur. Why not arrest and execute those who rebel in the future, so that it can be easily solved?

With all due respect, if you do, you're thinking too simply. In this troubled autumn, if you rely solely on killing, you can indeed solve some of the troubles, but it may not be a good thing that such troubles are solved. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant army rebelled, not because of a certain person, but because there was no hope of survival. So kill one Li Zicheng, and there will be more Li Zicheng. Perhaps by then, the situation will be even more dire.

Chongzhen is very aware of this, so far, he has not done anything. It's not that there is no chance, but that you can't move. At least, the weaknesses of these anti-kings are well known at the moment, and when the time is ripe in the future, it will be much easier to deal with. If, now Tu is happy and kills them, and there will be more unfamiliar anti-kings in the future, the situation will be even more unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, these anti-kings cannot be killed now. Chongzhen's helplessness is indescribable, and he can't describe it to anyone in this Daming! Therefore, Chongzhen is constantly moving, reforming, that is, racing against time and doing his best to reverse the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, this is just Chongzhen's inner feelings and thoughts, and Chongzhen returned to reality again in an instant. Chongzhen's imperial swordsmanship had been practiced to the realm of perfection, and after his thoughts stopped, the movement of wielding the sword also stopped.

"Generals, please get up!" Chongzhen wiped the sweat from his cheeks with his left hand, and began to help Shi Rong with his right hand.

Seeing the emperor like this, the generals hurriedly got up, how dare they really let Chongzhen help. However, in the minds of the generals, Chongzhen's status is closer. It was the emperor who gave them the opportunity to stand out, and it was the emperor who made them understand the meaning of being a soldier, and it was the emperor who gave them the opportunity to show their skills and ambitions!

Chongzhen saw that the generals had already gotten up, and continued: "Only the strength of the army can better protect the people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I decided to expand the Tiger Army, expanding the original 6,000 people to 60,000. In addition, I consider that the military system of the Ming Dynasty is not suitable for the development of foreign wars, so I will also change the military system. The original Tiger Ben Left Guard, renamed the First Army, the number remains the same, it is still called the Tiger Army, and the first army commander Shi Rong served as it. Officers below the corps commander level were renamed division commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, and squad commanders.

The division commander commanded 10,000 men, the regiment commander commanded 5,000 men, the battalion commander commanded 1,000 men, the company commander commanded 100 men, and the squad commander commanded 10 men. Each corps has six divisions, each division has two regiments, each regiment has five battalions, each battalion has ten companies, and each company has ten squads.

In this way, the full establishment will be 60,000 people, and the original soldiers of the Tiger Benzuo Guard will each be promoted by one level, that is, the original thousand household commanders will be the division commanders, and the rest will be promoted in turn. ”

As soon as Chongzhen's words said to me, Shi Rong and the others knelt down again, and shouted long live!

In other words, Chongzhen originally wanted to explain the benefits of such a setting, but now it seems that there is no need for this, and those who can pass the selection will not be mediocre, otherwise, they will not win, and it seems that this can save a lot of tongues.

However, there is another point that Chongzhen must explain, otherwise, the strength of the army will never be able to be fully brought into play. So after a pause, he continued: "It seems that you have all understood my intentions, and you are all skilled in military affairs, so I don't need to go into details. But there is one point, since Emperor Hongwu, in the army of the Ming Dynasty, the military generals are usually controlled by civilian officials, which in the era of peace, it does play a role in preventing the military generals' autocratic rebellion, but now that chaos is everywhere, it is only so that it is difficult for me to give full play to the full combat effectiveness of the army.

Therefore, I have decided to abolish the practice of civilian officials controlling military attaches from today onwards, and in the future, in this Ming world, both civil and military will be carried out! However, we will set up a separate department, the Political Commissar Division, which is composed of civilian officials, whose main task is to do ideological work in the army, and the Political Commissar Department is directly responsible to me, independent of the army, and has a political commissar in each army, and there are political commissars at all levels of the army, divisions, regiments, battalions, and companies, and their functions and powers in the army are equivalent to deputies at all levels, but they have no right to interfere with the combat command at all levels of the army, division, regiment, battalion, and company, and are only responsible for preventing rebellion, collaborating with the enemy, cowardice, and delaying military aircraft. ”

Shi Rong and the others immediately chuckled in their hearts, it seemed that the emperor's methods were really endless, but then after thinking about it, he was relieved, as long as no one interfered in his military affairs, don't listen to the orders of the annoying civilian officials, and be able to march and fight well, whatever it is!

In this way, the expansion of the Tiger Army and the reform of the military system were formulated during the conversation of several people. The Ming Dynasty, an epoch-making expansion of the army, caused an uproar in the capital of the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.
