"Your Majesty!" Li Junxian led the special guards to salute Li Shimin.

"Flat!" Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian and everyone got up. Li Junxian saw a young military attache behind Li Shimin, probably only about twenty-five or sixteen years old. Li Junxian also probably guessed that this person was the future supervisor of the special guard.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Du Junxuan, that is, your future prison army. Like Jun Xian, he participated in the Xuanwumen Change. Be loyal to my Datang! Li Shimin said.

The general named Du Junxuan saluted the few people present, and it was considered that they had met. Li Junxian heard that this Du Junxuan had also participated in the Xuanwumen Change, so he should also be Li Shimin's absolute cronies, and his loyalty can be guaranteed.

"Jun Xian, just now you said that you want to change the military establishment of the Tang Dynasty, what do you mean by this? Isn't the compilation of my Datang inappropriate? Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the establishment is decided according to tactics. Since we are going to adopt new tactics, we naturally have to adopt a new organization. And the tactics of the past have the establishment of the past, so it is not that the establishment is bad, but the tactics have changed, so it is natural to have a new establishment, otherwise the tactics will not be able to exert the power that the tactics should have. Li Junxian explained.

Li Junxian saw that Li Shimin was not angry, and he was initially relieved. Perhaps this is because Li Shimin is also a military strategist, so he can understand the reason that the old establishment is not suitable after the change of tactics. And if it is the kind of king who has never fought a war, I am afraid that I will hear that his subordinates are going to change the structure. Then maybe you will be suspicious of the courtiers. This is also the advantage of Li Shimin's two different identities as a military strategist and an emperor, and he can often understand the difficulties of generals and will not be too suspicious and suspicious.

"That. Jun Xian, do you have a new establishment for me to see? I want to see your new build! Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian picked up the drawings on the table and drew a formation, which is the so-called linear tactics.

"Your Majesty, I plan to follow the guard, regiment, battalion. The method of compiling the company and the platoon. A row of a small phalanx in this linear tactic is a platoon. And a whole small phalanx. Together, the three rows are a company. Three small phalanxes, that is, a battalion, were responsible for meeting the enemy in a small area. And a regiment is responsible for the enemy in a general direction. And the last guard. It is to be used as the execution unit of a major campaign. I intend to divide our guard into seven regiments. There are three infantry combat regiments, one cavalry combat regiment, and three technical arms regiments. Each regiment was about 2,000 people. Li Junxian explained.

"Why are the infantry cavalry mixed together?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Shimin had no doubts about Li Junxian's establishment, because this was very reasonable, and Li Shimin's military talent could be regarded as telling him that this establishment was reasonable. However, Li Junxian still couldn't understand why Li Junxian wanted to mix infantry and cavalry in one guard, which was somewhat inconsistent with the traditional thinking of the ancients. In ancient times, infantry and cavalry were organized separately, but Li Junxian actually had infantry and cavalry in an army, which puzzled Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty. We will fight in the future, using linear tactics. Our imaginary enemy is the Turks. Therefore, our tactics and formations were based on the methods of warfare of the Turks. We first looked for the enemy's cavalry, and when the enemy's cavalry attacked, we set up a line-based tactical formation, and the crossbowmen fired in three stacks. The experience in Chang'an proves that it is almost impossible for the Turks to break through this formation of arrows, so we can rest assured. And when the Turks are exhausted, and the losses are great, and they become remnants, we can pursue them with cavalry. Li Junxian explained.

Li Shimin also understood Li Junxian's tactical thinking, which was a means of using infantry to restrain cavalry. Let the infantry resist first, and then let your cavalry pursue after the enemy's cavalry is a remnant, so that your own cavalry will not lose much, because the enemy's cavalry has lost its morale.

"And what do these tech classes mean?" Li Shimin asked.

"The so-called technical arms are the arms with high technical content. These classes are all in the period of doing something that other classes can't do, and they are full of technical things. I intend to organize it in such a way that one of the regiments of the three technical arms is a regiment that uses firearms, which can become a firearms regiment. However, I haven't gotten out the firearms yet, so the regiment is empty. And the other two regiments, we can call them the 1st Special Service Regiment and the 2nd Special Service Regiment. As the name suggests, these two regiments were on special duty. The 1st Special Service Regiment is subordinate to the guard battalion, the reconnaissance battalion, and the engineer battalion. The second special service regiment is subordinate to the medical battalion, the service battalion, and the communications battalion. ”

Li Junxian then explained to Li Shimin the role of these arms. The guard battalion is easy to understand, that is, the troops used to protect the headquarters, which is equivalent to the personal battalion of the generals of this period. And the reconnaissance battalion is the soldier who is responsible for walking in front of the reconnaissance, can bring news to the commander, this kind of soldier was called scout in ancient times. And the engineer battalion is the kind of soldier who is responsible for opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. As for the medical battalion, it is the place where the soldiers are treated. The service battalion is responsible for all kinds of service work in the barracks, as well as the writing affairs and various internal affairs of the officers. The communication battalion is responsible for the communication of various units, communicating messages, and transmitting orders from the commander.

Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't ask. What Li Shimin is concerned about is, how should the officers of these soldiers determine their official positions? Because as long as you are an officer, you must have a grade, otherwise how to determine the level of the official position! Li Shimin's first concern is this issue.

"Your Majesty, I plan to set the platoon-level officer as the ninth grade, which can be customized at will from the top to the bottom, with the rank of Wusanguan. The company level is set as eight grades, seven battalion grades, and six regiment grades. ”

Li Junxian's grade, if it is very unreasonable in the future generations. Because the platoon-level officers are already nine ranks, but in later generations, they will not even be at the deputy section level. And even the level and the level are actually eight grades, and they will be at the deputy department level in later generations. Not to mention the battalion level and regiment level, this is clearly all in high allocation. But Li Junxian also had no choice, because the ancient army grades were all like this, and the number of people was not much, but the grades were set very high. is like Li Junxian's original hussar general, but he is a dignified fourth-rank official, if he is at least a lieutenant general in later generations. But this lieutenant general is too aggrieved, and there are only a few thousand soldiers under him, and he will only be the head of the regiment in later generations.

Li Junxian had no choice but to compromise with the military system of this era and set the grade higher, which was in line with the grade system of this era. However, this obviously does not match.

"Jun Xian, the rank is more than 30 people, and the nine grades are in line with the current official system. Even the eighth grade is probably barely in line. But at the battalion level, there are already hundreds of leaders of thousands of people, how can they only be seven? The regimental level is even less adjustable, at least five grades. But if you calculate it according to yours, then you, General Wei, are only the fifth grade! Li Shimin said he didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the rank and power of my military attache in the Tang Dynasty are not very equal, so I plan to press it first, so that all the soldiers can make meritorious contributions first and then upgrade again. If it is set too high all of a sudden, then I am afraid that the soldiers will have no idea of making meritorious contributions. Li Junxian hurriedly found a reason to perfunctory.

"Oh, I see!" Li Shimin also expressed his understanding, as the emperor, of course he knew that the position could not be given too high all at once, otherwise there would be no seals in the future.

"Then why do you get so many technical troops, and are these troops useful?" Li Shimin once again expressed his doubts. (To be continued......)
