Chapter 0604 - Big Steps
The rising sunlight spilled obliquely through the cracks in the window lattices onto the table in the official room, and the dust flew in the gathered beams of light, illuminating the closed doors and windows of the official room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 On both sides of the table that was placed horizontally on the wall, Zhang Yue and Feng Qianhou let out a slight snoring sound from the couch where the two of them sat crookedly on their high backs.
When a few beams of light gradually moved to his face and eyebrows, Zhang Yue was pierced by the strong light and opened his eyes, and looked down to see that his body and clothes were covered with a thin blanket. The thickness of the seal on the opposite side is also average, the face is slightly sleepy, and the shiny saliva at the corner of the mouth is flowing for a long time.
Zhang Yue lifted the blanket, got up and reached out to gently pull the curtains, the sunlight was blocked all of a sudden, and the indoor light was a little darker. I remember that before going to bed in the early morning, there were still cups, plates, wine cups, pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other objects on the table, and several large stacks of documents that the two discussed and drafted were also neatly packed and put aside, which should have been seen after dawn.
The time to get up early to consult the affairs has long passed, anyway, Wen Yuankai and Li Liangbi are busy, Zhang Yue is too lazy to go to see it, rubbing his sour eyes, opening his mouth and yawning, reaching out to take several stacks of documents in front of him, and finding that they are all classified, and the two of them write the sketches like ghost drawings, and some people can recognize them, but they are really confidants.
Zhang Yue looked at several stacks of manuscripts of the "Outline of Military and Political Reorganization", which was the achievement of the two of them overnight, and he was very satisfied, and he spread out the blank paper and made another memorandum of future events and major events. The major event in the future is the creation of a formal military and political system after the opening of the government.
At present, all the armies in the area under its jurisdiction include the regular soldiers selected and reorganized by the township soldiers directly under the jurisdiction of the major festivals and towns, the eliminated second-class young and strong auxiliary soldiers, and the township soldiers directly led by the state assassins and defense envoys.
At present, there is no government, and there is no top-level organization, and the soldiers and auxiliaries are directly led by themselves, and the Yongxing military government cannot manage it. The township soldiers are reserves, which are controlled by the governor's office, which involves many problems.
First of all, the township soldiers come from the people, most of them are farmers who don't know how to fart, and they don't know a single word, and the only one who has them is young and in good health, of course, they must have developed limbs and strength, their ears are not deaf and their eyes are not dazzling, and their tongue and brain are not bad.
After passing the basic selection conditions of the Governor's Office, they are recruited into the army, and they maintain half a year of training every year, and at least two years can they take off the coat of stupid recruits to become privates, and they can be promoted to serve in the auxiliary army after several bloody battles, and excellent soldiers can be promoted to the ranks of corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, which is what makes them qualified to be regular army officers.
If the township soldiers are garrisoned according to the city, according to the existing military system, at least one commander needs to be stationed in each county, and each prefecture has an average of five counties, then each prefecture needs to garrison 2,500 soldiers. In the Kansai region alone, there are 58 large and small military towns, military prefectures, defense prefectures, regimental training prefectures, and prefectures, and the garrison strength has reached 145,000, and the nine divisions of the regular army have 135,000.
In this way, the soldiers who were reorganized from the town army were filled with soldiers and auxiliaries, and it was necessary to recruit new soldiers, and the recruits obviously could not be stationed in the city, and moreover, the soldiers who were stationed in the city were bound to deal with the merchants who entered and left the city every day, or with the market splashes, so that the quality of the village soldiers themselves was poor, and they would learn to become corrupt at a rapid pace, and how to provide a source of troops for the regular troops.
This can only be done by guarding the main communication routes, garrisoning them in the field, and stationing a small number of military units in the city. Because the city could not be demolished, merchants did not dare to enter the city without garrisoning troops, and rich families did not dare to live in the city, and even recruited their own families to protect the home.
What to do? It can only be stationed in the region, which means that there are border troops stationed in remote places and village soldiers at the same time, but this is not a system. It is possible that only two counties are stationed in one to command the township soldiers, and in which county is the command center of the township barracks located?
Zhang Yue thought of this problem, referring to the time and space he knew, the Ming Dynasty guard system was divided into divisions such as the capital division, the guard, the thousand households, and the hundred households, and discussed with Feng Qianhouyi, and decided to re-patch the major event of the military system, and comprehensively revise and complete the overall military system.
Now the problem comes again, a battalion is stationed in two counties, which means that half of the troops are out of sight, of course there is nothing to do in the short term, but after a long time, there will be all kinds of violations of law and discipline, so should the supervising army be supervised to the "capital" level? The answer is very necessary.
The compilation can be said to be very reasonable. Ten, fifty, hundred, five hundred, one thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, simple and hierarchical, up and down. The only thing is that the name of the commander unit is a little inappropriate.
You must know that the army is a public weapon, not a copycat bandit, neither a "head" nor a "master", and "long" is the meaning of the commander, and the soldier only needs to follow the commander and obey the orders of the public unit.
Now after further improvement, the head of the capital is renamed "Bai Chang", the deputy head of the capital is renamed "Bai Vice", and the supervision of the army is added; The position of Ying Yuhou was also changed to "Reference". The head of the regiment is changed to "regimental commander".
So now the military system of the Northwest Army is like this, a township soldier has been trained for two years to become a private, after being transferred to an auxiliary soldier, he will follow the soldiers to fight, behead the first level to become a corporal, and the third level of beheading will be promoted to the "sergeant" to be qualified and have the opportunity to be promoted to the "deputy commander", when half of the soldiers in the unit have beheaded merit, after the unit is promoted to a regular soldier, he can apply for retirement and transfer to another job after serving for another 20 years.
Of course, the change of employment is to return to the governor's office where the hometown is located, and the unit will arrange to transfer to the city guard. In this way, the city guards are veterans, and the village soldiers are recruits, which are two systems. Township soldiers are stationed in the suburbs, and they work at home for half a year, and they only receive half a year's military salary or rations, and they belong to semi-professional soldiers, and only the headquarters is permanent, and the soldiers are not always there.
The City Guard made up for this loophole well, defending the city with veterans of a hundred battles and acting as training instructors for recruits. Of course, middle and high-ranking officers can also be transferred to the Governor's Office, receive a salary, and have a lifetime guarantee.
The soldiers of the iron-clad battalion flow from low to high, and then from high to low, just forming an active cycle. Finally, there is the quota of military salaries, all armies according to the township soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, war soldiers, city guards, in addition to providing various supplies on a daily basis, the initial set of military salary standards are:
The township soldiers were two buckets of rice or six hundred yuan in the first quarter, and they were full attendance during the agricultural training period; The auxiliary soldiers have three buckets of rice or nine hundred dollars in the first quarter, plus a war allowance; Soldiers have five buckets of rice in the first quarter or five hundred dollars as always, plus wartime allowances and rewards for war exploits;
In the peaceful world, the city guards are basically pensioners, or have the duty of fighting and suppressing bandits in the defense area. Even though he is a veteran of a hundred battles, he cannot receive the same treatment as a soldier, and can only enjoy four buckets of rice or two hundred yuan consistently, and keep a family near his hometown.
Of course, this military salary standard is very low and pitiful, and it is not as much as the average soldier of the feudal town who plunders it during the war, but this is a safe and secure imperial grain, and there is no psychological burden to receive glory, and it cannot be compared.
However, Zhang Yue also specifically noted that it can be added in the future as appropriate. Because of the establishment of the military pay system, all soldiers will cheer, but if it is set too high at the beginning and then reduced, this will not only affect the prestige of the reorganized government, but all the soldiers will not appreciate it, but will also secretly scold their mothers.
Zhang Yue wrote a pen at the desk, quickly wrote a memo, sorted out the detailed documents, and made a little sound. Feng Qianhou woke up in shock, yawned with his mouth open, stretched straight and straightened in the couch, got up and opened the curtains, and exclaimed, "What time is this?" ”
Zhang Yue smiled, put down his pen and looked up and said: "It's time to win, wait for a while to send orders to Huining and Guanbei, and take advantage of Jingnan Yao Lingke and Xiang Deming to come over, just in time to announce the newly proposed military system." It will take about ten days before it can be officially issued, and it will be half the easiest for the military to be formulated. In the afternoon, summon a few marshals and the generals to discuss with them, explain the matter, and start as soon as possible! ”
Now, in the name of the camp, there is no problem at all in changing the military system, but it will take time to complete. Feng Qianhou just woke up energetic, nodded and said, "Okay!" In the past few years, it has been a little bit of change, this time the step is too big, instead of letting them pick out the problem, let's audit it again! ”
Feng Qianhou is very serious in his handling of things, and he usually has to check himself several times after drawing up the draft. Zhang Yue smiled bitterly: "What if the steps are bigger, in our army-controlled area, no matter how big the steps are, you can't talk about it!" ”
"What do you mean by not being able to talk about eggs?" Feng Qianhou looked puzzled, and his face seemed to understand whether he understood or not.
"Haha...... No matter how much you change it, there will be no chickens flying eggs! Zhang Yue had no choice but to explain with a smile, took out the documents that had just been sorted out again, and separated them according to categories, mainly including complete establishment units, township soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and combat soldier management systems, military law regulations and military discipline regulations, and officer grades and ranks.
It seems to be a mess of hemp, but it is only divided into two aspects: wartime and peacetime. At any time, the army spends very little time in battle, and more time to spend in the big camp to consume grain, so the management of the army's related government affairs is very important.
Zhang Yue first looked at the logistics management model, which he drafted and was approved by Feng Qianhou. The grade is drafted by Feng Qianhou, and the corresponding military officer is added, that is, the military rank, and Zhang Yue will improve it.
These things are not just a list of ranks, but one of the essences of the army. Because both of them had abdominal cases, the new official system was deleted according to the Tang system of nine products and twenty-nine orders, and changed to nine products and eighteen orders. I removed the top and bottom, and only from it.
From soldier to general, in order: corporal, sergeant, and sergeant are excellent soldier ranks, but there is no rank, and only the qualifications for promotion to officer are obtained;
There are ten first-class leaders in the group, and the deputy rank of the gang is from the ninth rank to accompany the deputy lieutenant, and the gang commander is the ninth rank to accompany the lieutenant, and two outstanding soldiers are selected from each unit.
The team level commands five groups, manages 50 soldiers, and the deputy rank of the team is from the eighth rank of the eighth rank of the deputy lieutenant, and the captain is the captain of the eighth grade of the lieutenant; The captain of the team selects two pro-soldiers from his own unit, and each team has 12 officers and 14 pro-soldiers, so that half of the elite veterans of the grass-roots military command units.
He commanded two teams at the first level, governed 100 soldiers, and was in charge of military law, supervising the approval of logistics expenditures, reviewing military merits and officer promotion reports, participating in leading troops, and leading a group of personal guards and gendarmes within the establishment of the unit. Deputy Counselor Rank from Seventh Rank Imperial Insult Lieutenant; Counselor is the captain of the Seventh Rank Imperial Insult. Bai deputy is the deputy lieutenant of the six-pin Xuanjie, and Bai Chang is the captain of the six-pin Xuanjie.
At the battalion level, there are 500 troops under command and 500 soldiers, and they initially have the ability to attack tough positions in the field, and the quality requirements for officers are also higher. The battalion staff has the same functions as above, and the grade is the same level as Dubai, which gives Dubo officers more opportunities for training. The deputy staff is counted as the deputy lieutenant of the Xuanjie from the sixth grade, and the deputy is the lieutenant of the sixth Xuanjie. The deputy commander is from the rank of deputy lieutenant of Wupin Yilu, and the commander is the captain of Zhengwupin Yilu.
At the regimental level, two battalions are commanded, 1,000 soldiers are governed, and the rank of deputy staff is from the deputy lieutenant of Wupin Yilu and the senator is the captain of the fifth grade Yilu; The deputy of the regiment is the deputy lieutenant of the fruit from the fourth grade, and the regiment commander is the lieutenant of the fourth grade of the fruit.
The brigade level commands five regiments, with 5,000 troops, and this level begins to be equipped with auxiliary troops and related logistics arms, and the upper limit of the total strength can reach 10,000 when going out independently, and it has a strong ability to attack tough positions in the field. The deputy of the brigade is General Congsanpin Zhenwei, and the brigade commander is General Zhengsanpin Zhaowu.
At the division level, the two brigades are normally commanded and 10,000 troops are managed, but if auxiliary troops are added and relevant arms are added, and then the two divisions are temporarily combined to form an independent division and a reinforced division, the total strength can reach 40,000. The supervising army envoy also needs to be equipped with a certain number of staff officers, and the entire battalion already has the strength of the front army. The deputy supervising military envoy is General Congsanpin Zhenwei, and the supervising military envoy is General Zhengsanpin Zhaowu. The deputy commander of the capital is General Xuanwei from the second grade, and the commander of the capital is the general of the Zhongwu of the second grade.
The army level is not permanent, and the five divisions are under normal command according to the system, and 50,000 troops are managed, but if they are assigned to auxiliary troops to form battalions, there will be many brigades and regimental units to strengthen the troops, and the upper limit is 100,000 troops. The military envoy is also attached to the staff committee, and has formed a high-level large-scale auxiliary organization, with the deputy military envoy of the capital supervising the army being General Xuanwei from the second grade, and the military envoy of the capital supervising being the general of the Zhongwu of the second grade.
The military governor is the highest rank, the deputy governor is the general of the hussar from the first rank, and the governor is the champion general of the first rank; If the superior confers on a commander of more than 100,000 corps with the four great generals of the founding of the country, the town of the country, the auxiliary state, and the Yasukuni army, the reward for merit can only be a knighthood, and the guy who reaches this level can basically only go to the military academy for retirement with acquaintance, or take up a substantive position in an institution similar to the Privy Council of the General Staff Headquarters.
The army is self-contained, and it is the king to divide powers and checks and balances when it comes to the high-level central institutions, but this is the next step. The corresponding set of political forms has come out, and the existing state-level administrative units have six divisions to join the army, and the supreme power is concentrated in the hands of one person in the state assassin history, and Sima and Beijia are also not permanent according to the upper, middle, and lower states.
After the completion of the local reorganization, it will be abolished, and the administrative regions will be temporarily divided into "Dao" according to the Tang system, so that the main powers of the prefectures with jurisdiction over 20 and below 30 will be divided into the four divisions of government administration, criminal punishment, procuratorate, and finance and taxation, and the rank of the chief and deputy chief officials will be tentatively set as the three grades.
The subordinates of the Department of Observation and Political Affairs are the chief and deputy observer envoys and the chief and deputy political envoys, which further divide the administrative power, and are in charge of undertaking and announcing government decrees, inspecting and drafting government affairs outlines, managing subordinate officials, evaluating political performance, reviewing and rewarding people, and promoting the examination of schools in the jurisdiction.
Losing control of finance and taxation, all government affairs need to be resolved through consultation with the Department of Finance and Taxation. However, the Department of Finance and Taxation is in charge of collecting taxes, fiscal revenues and expenditures, and counting civil contents such as household registration, tax service, population, and land in lower-level prefectures and counties.
The Criminal Prosecution Division is in charge of public security in its jurisdiction, and the investigation of criminal cases, as well as all prisons in its jurisdiction, but does not have the power to adjudicate, and the trial and judgment of all cases are in the Procuratorial Mission, and the procuratorial envoy is also in charge of the evaluation of officials in the jurisdiction, patrol and report, and submit public prosecutions, which has a great connection with the Criminal Division, and checks and balances each other.
