Chapter 319: A New Heaven and Earth
On the same day, Wang Dou arranged Ye Xizhi and Qin Yi into the shogunate, Ye Xizhi served as the scribe of the Civil Affairs Department, and Qin Yi served as the praise painting and scribe of the General Staff Department, and the two also hung their names in the Education Division.
Although Wang Dou attaches great importance to them, they still have to start from small officials, which is an inevitable process. If anyone defects to him and immediately gives him a high position, it is unfair to the first person to follow him, just like Zhong Rong, who followed himself from the seventh year of Chongzhen, and was not vigorously reused until the twelfth year of Chongzhen.
Advanced talents will inevitably enjoy the best treatment, which is a gesture. In this way, a solid kernel can be formed, and the group can be swept and strengthened continuously. Only by going through this process and embodying his talent can he be vigorously used in the end.
This is a principle, Wang Dou believes that with the ability of the two, gold will always shine.
After Wang Dou determined the shogunate on the fourth day of the first month, all the ministers were busy enriching the bureaucracy, and Wang Dou was also very busy. During these times, in addition to the affairs of the shogunate, Wang Dou and his generals were also busy with the reorganization of the army.
The war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen touched Wang Dou a lot, and he felt that his army needed to make some adjustments. On the 7th day of the first month of April, the Shunxiang Army, which had returned to Baoan Prefecture, stopped its vacation and all returned to the barracks to begin its reorganization and adjustment.
Wang Dou has been promoted to Gao Shiyin as the general manager of thousands, so calculated, Wang Dou has a total of eight thousand presidents such as Wen Fangliang, Zhong Xiancai, Yang Guodong, etc., as well as two garrisons.
The military department has been ordered to be dispatched, and Han Chao is the garrison of Laishui, and Zhong Tiaoyang is the garrison of Baoanzhou City. Yang Guodong, as the original subordinate of Lu Xiangsheng, went to Yixing to handle Lu Xiangsheng's funeral affairs when Wang Dou's class returned to Baoan Prefecture in March, and it must be several months before he returns.
The reorganization began on the 7th day of the first month and was completed on the 15th.
Wang Dou now has about 8,500 soldiers, and they are divided into the heads of each thousand generals and garrisons, but there are only a few hundred.
However, as Wang Dou, as a local guard, maintaining such a large number of troops is actually shocking. Although Wang Dou reported 3,500 soldiers before, the establishment of a guerrilla battalion, the rest were all strong guards who did not lead the army's salary.
But everyone knows that Wang Dou is talking nonsense with his eyes open, which guard is as effective as Wang Doubu? Is Wang Dou emulating Li Chengliang, or does he have other plans? Wang Dou's fame is now in full swing, and Liu Yuliang, the first assistant, and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are vigorously wooing, and they are tacitly silent with each other.
For Wang Dou, falling asleep and touching the pillow, there is now a good opportunity to come, and he can justifiably train vigorously.
After the Qing army entered the Kou in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the discussion of the courtiers to train the soldiers, under the auspices of Yang Sichang, the Ming Dynasty drew up a specific plan for the training of the elite soldiers in each town, and in the three towns of Xuanda, it was decided to take more than 178,800 people of the town soldiers, the three general soldiers each trained 10,000 people, the governor trained 30,000, and the rest were awarded to the town supervisor and governor to train below.
Back in Baoanzhou, Wang Dou and Ji Shiwei had a close correspondence, in addition to setting a good day and auspicious day for Ji Junjiao to marry, Ji Shiwei also won a training quota of 5,000 for Wang Struggle.
This is a rare thing, Xuanfu Town has seven guards, and only Wang Dou has this treatment. As a local general, in fact, Wang Dou's military establishment is still similar to that of the guerrilla battalion, and there are still 3,500 paid people under his command. With this 5,000 new troops, it means that Wang Dou can ask the court for an additional 5,000 people.
For Wang Dou, food and salary are small, and it is a good thing to expand his troops openly. Of course, with Wang Dou's current financial resources, he can support no more than 20,000 soldiers to the maximum, and no more than 5,000 cavalry inside.
The reorganization was carried out in the form of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and baggage. In terms of infantry, it was slightly condensed, changed to ten people per armor, and the sword and shield armor were abolished, and the five armors were divided into one team, excluding the officers, and there were fifty people in one team. Moreover, the team officer guard was reduced to one person, and the team deputy who was appointed as a captain no longer had a guard.
The team and the armor no longer set up a banner, and only identify the identity by the waist card and armor clothing.
The four teams were one general, two spear teams and two musket teams, and there were a total of 200 soldiers including the general headquarters.
The four generals are one, and including the thousand general headquarters, there are a total of 800 soldiers in one thousand.
Han Chao, Wen Fangliang, Zhong Xiancai, Zhong Tiaoyang, Gao Shiyin, and Yang Guodong, who were in charge of the infantry, were all the same. Although Han Chao and Zhong Tiaoyang were garrisons, Wang Dou only let them manage a thousand total troops, and in terms of the combat power of the Shunxiang army, it was more than enough to defend a city with a thousand total troops.
In this way, they have a uniform rank, a fixed number of people, independent of each other, not unified with each other, and only under the command of Wang Dou alone, thus establishing a strict and complete command system. Each officer obeyed only one person, and the whole army only obeyed Wang Dou, establishing the absolute loyalty of the army. ,
The cavalry was also organized in the same way, with only a slight difference in equipment, and Li Guangheng's subordinates originally had only 400 men, and after adding some old troops from the infantry, they made up a total strength of 1,000. The training of these new cavalrymen is a problem, it is not known how long it will take to develop combat effectiveness. Wang Dou calculated that there were many horses in his army, so could he train Wen Fangliang and the others' infantry into cavalry, or mounted infantry?
Wen Daxing's night does not collect thousands of people is always miserable, and the training of night does not collect is more difficult than that of cavalry, after many battles for soldiers, his night does not collect only four teams of 200 people, this matter can only be seen slowly later.
Zhao Xuan's artillery commander was in the same situation as Wen Daxing, facing the problem of insufficient gunners, and the gunners attached to the superintendent battalion were only more than 200 gunners and sergeants among his thousands of commanders, so they could only be formed empty and slowly retrained.
Sun Sanjie's baggage is the best to solve the total manpower, in the establishment, he is also a first-class driver is also ten people, in charge of two horses and five carriages, each car can carry grain and grass five stones. There are always 400 carriages for a baggage thousand, which can transport 2,000 stones of grain and grass at a time.
The rest of the troops, as well as the sword and shield soldiers that had been reorganized by the thousands of generals, were temporarily under the direct leadership of Wang Dou and placed in the camp in Baoanzhou. Among these direct commanders, hundreds of them were soldiers who recovered from their injuries in the eleventh year of Chongzhen's participation in the war, which can be called strong.
These soldiers are all the strongest non-commissioned officers candidates for the expansion of the army in the future.
……
At the same time that Wang Dou reorganized the army of his headquarters, he also reorganized the soldiers of all officers in the state, strictly ordered that everyone should not have private soldiers, and the officers and troops under the jurisdiction of each fort must also be reorganized. All those who could not fight were used as military households, and the fields were cultivated. The main targets are Yang Zhichang, the defense officer of Wubao, Shi Min, the defense officer of Zhangjiabao and others.
Regarding Wang Dou's actions, everyone behaved calmly, and even secretly rejoiced in their hearts. Up to now, countless examples have proved that even if there is no family, in the Shunxiang army, it can develop very well, Lin Daofu, Wen Fangliang, and even Tian Changguo and others, all of them.
Perhaps because of this, they joined the Shunxiang Army, and everyone might be able to soar.
Wang Dou thought that there would be a commotion, but it was so calm that he was a little surprised.
On 16 April, after the reorganization of the whole army was completed, Wang Dou held a grand military parade at Shunxiang Fort. His eyes were set in the direction of Yongning City, and a new world was about to unfold.

Old White Cow:
The plot of farming is relatively dull, and in the future, I will write about the surrounding reactions and interactions in detail, and briefly write about the content of farming.
Another: Lao Niu found that many book lovers are very prejudiced against their traditional culture, such as Confucianism. It's as if if you go back to the past, if you don't abolish Confucianism and don't engage in the Western way, the country will not be a country, and the traveler will have no meaning.
This kind of thinking completely ignores the social reality, and it is not the system that makes the society progress, but the productive forces, which should be gradual and gradual, rather than pulling out the seedlings to help them grow. When the productive forces reach a certain level and the people have certain needs, it is necessary to follow the trend and forcibly install some kind of system.
Many book lovers urgently said that in the future, it is necessary to quickly let the country enter the constitutional monarchy and eliminate feudalism, otherwise, there is no point in crossing over, and so on.
Wouldn't it perish if it became a capitalist country? Looking at the history books, in modern times, not to mention that capitalist countries have perished innumerably, even socialist countries have also perished a lot. The sun never sets on the empire is only 300 years of glory, and the current British Empire, in ancient Chinese language, is from the Han Dynasty to the point of the small court of Yongle in the Southern Ming Dynasty.
From Germany to Russia, in Chinese terms, there have been countless changes of dynasty.
Therefore, it is not that it will not perish if it becomes a capitalist state.
According to Lao Niu, everything is still according to productivity, and it is good to become a canal. The so-called feudalism, capitalism and other divisions are meaningless, and any system has no meaning, and it is best to let the people live well.
