On a new day, the morning glow dyed the sky red, and the red sun slowly peeked out of the horizon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe scorching summer has passed, and Huining City is close to the east bank of the Yellow River, and the early morning river breeze gradually has a chill, blowing the hunting sound of the flags erected high on the east city gate.

From afar, you can hear the rumbling of drums, shaking the heavens and the earth. Zhang Yue rode slowly on horseback, surrounded by five hundred guards, out of the moat suspension bridge of the East City Gate, four or five miles away in front of the wilderness plain, the army from the camp north of the city was coming, gathering in formation, waiting for the completion of the reorganization.

The reorganization of an army involves not only the establishment and the grades, ranks, and titles of officers at all levels, but also the nine major items of flags, drums, seals, symbols, insignias, and numbers, all of which must be changed, and the more troops there are, the more difficult it will be, not to mention the reorganization of three divisions and 30,000 troops at a time.

In fact, as early as late May, Zhang Yue sent a warrant from Tokyo to ask Xuan Chongwen to make preliminary preparations. As a result, in mid-June, Xuan Chongwen left the town, Zhuang Shao took over a lot of things that he was not familiar with, and he himself needed to learn, fortunately, there were many officers in Lanzhou, and after Liu Wenbai and Hao Tianying came over, the whole army plan was gradually completed.

From the day the restructuring was announced, Zhang Yue examined and approved the plan, and in the past few days, the new identity sequence number badges, military flags at all levels, and command tools have been gradually distributed to new division-level units, and the whole army has been reorganized on the basis of "brigades" or "regiments," and the three divisions have been initially organized.

The flag is very important, and the book has the country name and the commander's official surname, which has not been changed for the time being, but now only Zhang Yue can hold it. The flag is the name of the garrison and the name of the army, and it was crowned by Zhang Yue as "Yongxing Military Mansion" and "Northwest Army".

That is, Hehuang, Hexi, Huizhou and other vast areas will belong to the festival town of Yongxing Military Mansion in the future. The festival flag was named the Northwest Army with another meaning, because the word northwest is a general name, just like his official position is to deploy along the northwest border, and this concept is also very vague.

These are all still simple, but there are still more important "talismans" and "seals" that have not been issued, and some high-ranking lieutenant officers have not been appointed, which brooks no delay.

Zhang Yue rode a horse, from the southeast to the west of the army array to the north of the general's platform, Liu Guangye led his personal guards to board the general's platform to arrange the guards, moved the honor guard to the general's platform and arranged it completely, and carried more than a dozen heavy wooden boxes up. Han Hui and Bian Hongyi brought the other two boxes of documents, which were used.

Hao Tianying, Zong Jingcheng, Shi Chenghong, and more than a dozen other generals were sorting out the rosters of officers in various units in the tents, because there were too many symbols and seals to be obtained.

The so-called soldier is the waist card, and the soldier's waist card only has the unit number, the branch identification number and the personal identification number, and the officer also has the military title and name on this basis. And the seal, naturally, is an official seal, which is only available at the battalion level and above. The capital head and below are all transferred by order, and when they go on business trips, they only hold the official documents of the military orders of the higher level and the personal military talisman for checking.

When the last drum stopped, 30,000 soldiers also gathered in a procession to complete, and a group of generals poured out of the big tent and marched to the general platform. At this time, Zhang Yue was already standing in front of a large wooden box behind the screen of the handsome case, holding a silver seal in his hand and looking at it over and over.

This official seal is cast according to the different levels of divisions, brigades, regiments, and battalions, and the size decreases according to the level, but the shape is the same square, and there is a small tiger grip cast in a pottery mold on the top, which is polished very smooth with a file, and the cold forged steel seal with a thickness of one inch is below. The reason why it is silver is because the cold-forged steel is black after solidification, and some silver is deliberately mixed in, so that the whole seal is silver and shiny, beautiful and generous.

The font is naturally traditional Chinese, but it is a convex type, not a concave one like the old official seal. Such an official seal is patted on the paper, which not only has red letters, but also makes the paper have very obvious traces of the imprint, which strengthens the anti-counterfeiting.

"Huh? Is this the new official seal? Why is it so small, not as big as a palm, no pattern, not good-looking and not majestic! Zong Jingcheng stepped forward to take a few looks, and picked up a yellow cotton cloth package from the box and was about to untie it, but Zhang Yue snatched it away and let it go.

"The official seal is a tool, the military general must be able to serve the public, and the civil official must be able to be diligent in government and love the people, so that there is prestige! These are numbered and can't be moved, you can take a look at the style! Zhang Yue said, stuffed the silver seal in his hand to Zong Jingcheng, turned around and walked across the screen.

"Tsk...... Makes sense! It's still done well, Xu Pingzhong, the old blacksmith in Guangxiang Military Industrial City, has good craftsmanship! Zong Jingcheng nodded, and saw that the bottom of the style seal was "Grant Yingyu Hou Seal", which was larger than the words on the copper coin, and it was also clear and obvious, but there was a little strange in his heart, there were many official positions in Yingyu Hou, and it would be confusing if there was no number.

You must know that there are only battalion commanders in other festivals and forbidden armies, and there is no battalion Yu Hou, and there is no official seal at this level, only at the military level, but there are specific military number inscriptions on the official seals, such as "The commander of the first army of the Emperor and the Crane is the commander", which should be the case.

With doubts, Zong Jingcheng went to sit down in the vacant seats on both sides of the screen, and after waiting for a while, the guards of the military formation from the lower general station came back to report that the 30,000 soldiers of the whole army had been lined up into 60 battalion-level small phalanxes and six brigade-level large phalanxes, waiting for review.

Zhang Yue nodded, and ordered Hao Tianying to go down to check the array again, confirm that the number of units was correct, and then announce the start, as usual, first lecture, and then let the soldiers carry the box under the large array, and issue officer seals in turn with the regiment as a unit.

After confirming three times that there are no omissions, Zhang Yue personally summons the generals at the brigade and division levels to collect them one by one, so that the reorganization of the three divisions can be truly completed.

As the commander of the second division, Zong Jingcheng realized at this time that each unit with a seal had an official seal for each of the four main generals, but there was also a public seal of the unit in charge of the battalion Yuhou, the regimental senator, the brigade staff officer, and the division supervisor, which represented that the official seal of the number was there, and the battalion was there, and if it was lost, it would be severely punished.

If a military order is signed, only the official seal of the chief general is not enough, but it must be stamped with the official seal and signed together before it can take effect, so that the military power will be greatly limited to the staff of the supervising army. However, in recent years, the Northwest Army has always been in charge of the army with battalions and regimental senators, and although contradictions and disputes are common, on the whole the results are good, and the military system has become more and more mature.

These things will be busy until noon, and a series of command exercises will be held for 10 days, a set of revised flags will be issued for testing, and staff officers will be assigned at the brigade and division levels.

There's one key thing here, telescopes! This was developed in the fourth year of Xiande, but the glass has not been up to standard, and now it is barely used. In a few days, generals of six brigades and above will be able to distribute telescopes and set up a certain number of battlefield lookouts to carry telescopes to observe flags, so as to form a battlefield observation and command system that transmits military orders in a relay manner, as well as a perfect staff and military supervision system.

The reason for the comprehensive upgrading of the military strength of the descendants is mainly to serve as a trump card force, which will be used to fight with a large corps that may be possible in the future when attacking Liao. Otherwise, even if the staff system is not established, it will be more than enough to confront the Tokyo Forbidden Army, but the number of troops will be smaller.
