Chapter 1539: Zhenxi Army

After Gongsun Chu left, Chu Huan sat alone in the side hall, pondered for a long time, finally got up and left the side hall, thought for a while, and finally went to Su Niang's house, and slept in Su Niang's house all night.

Early the next morning, because Chu Huan returned triumphantly, few officials in Shuoquan City had to come to congratulate, and all the officials were full of officials, Chu Huan naturally thanked everyone for guarding their positions in the rear, and for their contributions to suppressing thieves.

Other officials, each with their own praise, should be promoted, the businessman's business, the crowd was happy, but after Xuanyuan Sheng pacified Luo Dingxi, he led the officers and soldiers to rush back to Jiazhou to guard, although he was not present, Chu Huan still sent people to send praise.

The original head of the household department was held by Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji has now gone to Tianshan, and the post of the head of the household department has become vacant, Chu Huan asked the officials on the spot for candidates, and finally everyone unanimously elected the commander of the household department, Shan Chengyuan, who was promoted by Gongsun Chu early, has been working as an errand in the household department, shrewd and capable, but later because of Gongsun Chu Bo, he was almost pulled to the execution ground by Dongfang Xin, after Chu Huan was rescued, he was still on an errand in the household department, and later helped Wei Wuji deal with the affairs of the household department. In the process of implementing the Juntian Order, no effort was spared, and the credit was not small.

This is a capable talent, it stands to reason that Wei Wuji needs some capable officials to go to Tianshan Mountain, but thinking that although the Juntian Order is implemented, there are still many inspection affairs behind, and Shan Chengyuan is also one of the officials who know the Juntian Order well, if all the capable officials of the Household Department here are taken away, it will be difficult to operate here, so Wei Wuji specially left Shan Chengyuan behind.

At today's meeting, everyone was looking forward to it, and under the recommendation of everyone, Chu Huan ordered Shan Chengyuan to serve as the head of the household department on the spot, and the officials were even more in awe when they saw that Chu Huan was as good as a stream.

Waiting for the officials to leave, Chu Huan specially left all the officials of the Ministry of War, the position of the head of the Ministry of War, when he was in Dongfang Xin, was originally a member of the Zhu Party, and was later cleared by Chu Huan, and then with the assistance of Gongsun Chu, the vacancies in the yamen of each department were also filled as much as possible, but Chu Huan, the director of the Ministry of War, has not arranged manpower, and the head of the Department of War, Chu Huan also asked most of them personally.

Leaving the officials of the Ministry of War is actually to discuss the next military system.

The armies of the various provinces of Great Qin, according to the normal situation, are mainly composed of three armies and horses, one is the Governor's Praetorian Guard, the second is the state army, and the third is the guard army stationed in the guard.

It's just that because of the war in the northwest, after the invasion of the Western Liang, the military system has changed, the Governor's Praetorian Guard exists in name only, the state army and the Weisuo army have also been beaten by the Xiliang people, after Yu Buqu arrived, all the soldiers and horses were reassembled, at that time, there were all kinds of soldiers and horses, and there were even specially formed Xiangyong militia, there was no unified name, all under the command of Yu Buqu, and after the Xiliang people withdrew, Yu Buqu carried out military establishment and formed the Pingxi Army to stabilize the situation in Xiguan, In addition to the original subordinates led by Ganhou to continue to guard the border pass, only the Pingxi Army remained in Xiguan at that time.

After Chu Huan arrived, he got rid of the Xiguan Zhu Party headed by Dongfang Xin, controlled the Pingxi Army, and then instructed Pei Ji to form the Praetorian Guard, and now the army in Xiguan is actually composed of the Pingxi Army and the Praetorian Guard, and the Janissary Army is still short in time, although Chu Huan allocated the most sophisticated equipment as much as possible, but at present, it is still difficult to compare with the eight battalions of the Pingxi Army, and because of this, after several expeditions, Pei Ji will transfer the Praetorian Guard Army out and conduct actual combat training on the battlefield.

Previously, because of the lack of a large number of war horses, whether it was the Pingxi Army or the Praetorian Guard, the number of cavalry was limited, and it was impossible to really form a real cavalry corps, but the battle with Tianshan not only eliminated the strong enemy, but the most important thing was that the captured booty made Chu Huan from a poor man who was shy in his pocket, and it seemed that he suddenly became an explosive household wearing gold and silver.

Tianshan 30,000 Black Wind Cavalry, although after a hard battle, there are also many war horses died on the battlefield, but there are still more than 20,000 horses, these are Zhu Lingyue's carefully built cavalry, condensing Zhu Lingyue's hard work, a battle and nothing, for others to make wedding clothes, although there are many cavalry escaped, and many war horses scattered from the battlefield, but still captured tens of thousands of war horses, with so many war horses, no matter where they are placed, they can form a cavalry corps with great offensive power, and Chu Huan After the war, Immediately put this time on the agenda, and after discussing with Pei Ji, it has been determined that the northwest can only have one cavalry corps, and this cavalry corps can only have Xiguan control, whether it is Beishan or Tianshan, the cavalry system will be abolished, and all cavalry will have Xu Shao for a unified establishment.

Xu Shao not only had to continue to search for the lost war horses in the northwest, but also to unify the entire northwest cavalry with the assistance of cavalry generals such as Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen.

The Tianshan cavalry has been selected to stay, and on the Xiguan side, the cavalry of the "Fengzi Battalion" led by Xu Shao, as well as the cavalry experts in the battalions of the Pingxi Army, are naturally organized into the cavalry corps, which will form a unified cavalry system and receive the same training, which is convenient for unified command.

And Xu Shao will of course have to incorporate the cavalry of Beishan next, there are also thousands of cavalry in Beishan, and these cavalry will naturally be all organized into the cavalry corps, if the Beishan cavalry is not willing to continue to serve as cavalry, its military horses will also be requisitioned, Chu Huan's bottom line is not to allow in addition to Xu Shao's cavalry, there is another independent cavalry corps in the northwest.

The cavalry system has begun to be built, and Chu Huan naturally has to restructure the infantry next, and the main body of the infantry is mainly the eighth battalion of the Pingxi Army.

Chu Huan had had in-depth conversations and planning with Pei Ji before this, and today he was with the officials of the Ministry of War to discuss the reorganization of the Pingxi Army, in the final analysis, Chu Huan did not want the army under his command to have a factional division, although a huge army, the emergence of factions is essential, but Chu Huan hopes to reduce this factional dispute to a minimum, the eight battalions in Pingxi, divided into eight battalions, when Dongfang Xin, the status of the eight battalions is high and bottom, The battalions controlled by Dongfangxin's cronies were at odds with the others, and the distribution and quality of equipment were different.

After Chu Huan took control of the Pingxi Army, in fact, this estrangement between the eight battalions of Pingxi still existed, but because of their respective transfers, it had not yet manifested itself for the time being.

The dispute between the cavalry and infantry in the Tianshan Mountains, Chu Huan still understands, and naturally hopes to avoid taking the old road, and the contradiction between the eight battalions in Pingxi must also be resolved as much as possible, and the way to solve it is naturally to carry out a new reorganization and restructuring, whether in terms of name or actual establishment, a comprehensive reform will be carried out, and the name of the eighth battalion of the Pingxi Army itself has a faction, so Chu Huan discussed with the officials of the Ministry of War, and Yu Buqu originally formed the Pingxi Army in order to pacify the bandits and rebellions in the northwest. Now Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue, the two major rebel parties, have been eliminated, and after the implementation of the Juntian order, the so-called bandits have also been greatly reduced, although there are still a few bandits on the northwest land, but it is no longer a big problem, that is, the word "Pingxi Army" naturally does not need to be used anymore, and today's northwest soldiers and horses are mainly used to shock the bandits in the northwest, so it is more appropriate to call it "Zhenxi Army".

The officials of the Ministry of War naturally fully agree with this new name, and just change the name, of course, it cannot be called the reform of the military system, specific reform, the officials of the Ministry of War have a lot of construction, and the most important thing for Chu Huan is to cancel the eight battalions, and all the officers and soldiers will be subordinate to the "Zhenxi Army", although all along, the governor of the empire only has the right to control the Praetorian Guard, but the northwest shape is different, and Chu Huan repeatedly told everyone that when he came to Xiguan to take up his post, the emperor once said that he could act with a camera, In Xiguan, he has the right to deal with randomly, so before the northwest is completely stabilized, the "Zhenxi Army" will be directly ordered by the governor of Xiguan, and Pei Ji, as a general, will directly command the "Zhenxi Army".

The "Zhenxi Army" is not just the military name of the Pingxi Army after the restructuring, but the military number of all soldiers and horses in Xiguan, including the cavalry corps prepared by Xu Shao, which will also be one of the components of the "Zhenxi Army".

According to Chu Huan's assumption, the cavalry corps will be led by Xu Shao, Hou Jingang, Gu Liangchen and Wolf Wazi will be the deputy to jointly command the cavalry, and the restructured infantry will be led by Xuanyuan Shengcai, and Lu Cunxiao, Fang Rushui, Han Ying, Ming Ji and others will be responsible for commanding the infantry as the core generals of the infantry.

The specific reorganization measures, naturally, Chu Huan gave the general direction, and the Ministry of War discussed the specific operation plan, which is a big change, which involves many problems, which will be solved through negotiation, and what Chu Huan needs is a strong cavalry and elite infantry composed of but integrated "Zhenxi Army", this army will have a strict military system, and in terms of promoting generals, follow Chu Huan's consistent practice, regardless of background, only look at talent.

Chu Huan received Pei Ji's teachings and knew that in order to train an army with combat effectiveness, it was necessary to follow the strict management of the army, and if there was merit, it would be discussed, and if there was a mistake, it would be punished, and the rewards and punishments would be clear.

He consulted with the officials of the Ministry of War for several hours, and at noon he had dinner at the Governor's Palace, and talked while eating, and did not disperse until the afternoon, which involved many issues, including the length of military service, the number of years in the army, the amount of salary and silver for soldiers, the specific implementation method of the reward and punishment system, the distribution of equipment for soldiers, the promotion system for soldiers, and so on.

In fact, Chu Huan always felt that sometimes very simple problems were artificially complicated, especially because of the special interests and specialization of some people, which led to the occurrence of various problems and contradictions.

To let the common people live in peace, let them be fed and clothed so that they can be satisfied, they do not ask much, and as parents and officials, they should lead their subjects to be fed and clothed, for the soldiers in the army, it is also gathered in one sentence, that is, the rewards and punishments are clear, so that they have the opportunity to fight for their higher status and rewards through their own efforts, and those who dare to disobey the military order to engage in specialization will be punished mercilessly, so that the army will naturally maintain extremely high morale and strong combat effectiveness.

If there is a problem in the army, it is nothing more than that those who should be rewarded but can't get what they deserve, and those who should be punished can't be severely punished because of their special backgrounds, so that the morale of the army is naturally low and it is difficult to form a cohesive force, and Chu Huan secretly swore in his heart that at least he can't let the army under his command become such an army, with clear rewards and punishments, it must be the bottom line of the Zhenxi Army to persevere to the end-

PS: The real tough battle is behind, so some must be explained for construction, whether military or economic, it must be normalized to be strong, so don't say I understand long live.
