Chapter 33: Kitano Reorganization

"Well, it seems that the general listened very carefully! That's a great question to ask too! Then the official will briefly explain. Zhi Weizheng turned a few pages of the book in his hand, looked at the contents on it and said: "According to the meaning of the saint, after removing the old, weak, sick and disabled, all the soldiers will be eliminated while training, and the first third will be incorporated into the reserve, the second third will be incorporated into the garrison, and the last thing left is the real field army."

As the name suggests, the field army will be the main force in future operations, the garrison army is more inclined to assist in defense, and the reserve is a new military concept put forward by the saint. The soldiers of the reserve will be assigned to various parts of our country according to their needs, and they will be used to form local garrisons, which will be responsible for maintaining local law and order, such as suppressing bandits, and will also be responsible for training new recruits and sending troops to the garrison and field army, which is a very important part of the new military concept of the Holy Lord.

Just now, the general asked about the question of military salary, and the saint also explained, the field army broke away from the forbidden army sequence and formed a separate army, but the military salary was the same as that of the upper fourth army, and the forbidden army in the future also specifically referred to the upper fourth army guarding the capital. The main responsibility of the garrison is to defend the frontier, so the military salary will remain unchanged for the time being, and it will be considered for promotion in the future according to the specific situation. As for the reserves, the salaries have not changed much, but there are few awards for military merits, unlike the field army and the garrison army, which can earn more from their military exploits, so in general, the income of the reserve is less. Do you understand? ”

"Back to the adult, the young general understands!" The general bowed his head and stepped back.

"This official has written the outline of the reform of the new army, which was personally written by the Holy Lord, and will be sent to you later. Now, I will briefly introduce to you a few of the more important issues in it.

The first point is the issue of military salaries, which I have just mentioned. This official starts directly from the second point, regarding the issue of army equipment and staffing, this is also very simple, and it is completely in accordance with the standards of our Qilinwei.

The most important thing is that on this third point, the Holy One asks that the rank and title of all the people in the army be adjusted starting from you, and from now on. The specific situation is as follows, from the bottom to the last time for privates, sergeants, lieutenants, school officers, generals and marshals, in addition to marshals, each level is also divided into three ranks, and the marshal is canonized by the emperor alone, and the rest can be promoted by military merit or other means.

Take this official as an example, the saint was canonized as a major general, and these people under this official were also canonized as colonels, presumably you will not be worse than this official in the future. In fact, this is similar to the previous canonization of the lieutenant, which is a hierarchical system and does not represent the actual position. The purpose of this is to make it clear to the soldiers who is one level higher than them, and who to listen to when something unexpected happens on the battlefield.

Speaking of this, it may be difficult for everyone to understand, so this official will take you as an analogy. For example, in this reorganization, the first to be eliminated are naturally the inferior soldiers, and the soldiers of the garrison are at least medium soldiers, and similarly, those who can enter the field army must be sergeants. This time it will be determined by the time of elimination, and a strict assessment system will be formulated in the future, and only those who pass the assessment can be promoted.

If it is said that privates and sergeants can be promoted through assessment, then it is not so easy for lieutenants and colonels and even generals to be promoted, and passing the assessment is only a basic condition, and they must also have a foundation of military merit, and they must also have the consent of the saints. Of course, if you are lucky, or if you are indeed very capable, the Holy One will be extra gracious. In this way, in fact, your luck is quite good, you don't have to go through so many cumbersome assessments, as long as you can meet the standards in future training, you can get the same position as your current position, or if you perform well, it is not a dream to be promoted on this basis! ”

Obviously, this is another copycat by someone. The army is a special group, and at any time, this group cannot be truly equal, and it can only be a group of "rabble" sent to death. Only strict discipline and strict hierarchy can concentrate the strength of all people, instead of you doing yours and I doing mine.

Although Zhao Zhen's move was undoubtedly a military regulation in the previous life of Shanzhai, this was not difficult for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to accept, or it was relatively easy to introduce. In fact, the army has had a similar hierarchy throughout the ages, but the name is different, and the ancient name is a little more complicated. It is like the twelve turns of the honors of the Tang Dynasty, and those who have military merits are awarded honors. The highest rank of the commander is called "Shangzhu Country", the second rank is required to go through the "twelve turns" to reach, and the lowest rank is the "Martial Cavalry Captain", which is equal to the seventh rank and only needs one turn. The officer has no position, no business, only an increase in office.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty's rank system is very close to modern military ranks, and the Song Dynasty is generally the same military system of the Tang Dynasty, so the soldiers have no feeling about this kind of hierarchy, it is nothing more than the emperor's brain to change the name.

Compared with the previous commander system, Zhao Zhenshanzhai's "Great Song Dynasty Military Rank System" still has some differences. According to the provisions of the "Great Song Dynasty Military Rank System", soldiers also have ranks, and there are six levels, which is not a small room for growth, which is conducive to improving the enthusiasm of soldiers, so that they may be just the most ordinary soldiers for the rest of their lives. Moreover, from now on, the promotion of military ranks does not depend on military merit, as long as their ability is enough, they can also be promoted through the assessment, so that even in the years when there is no war, soldiers have the motivation to improve themselves.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was digesting what they had just heard, Zhi Weizheng also hurriedly took the time to drink some water and moisten his throat: "You all come and take a look at these books now, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask, don't make anything wrong then!" ”

Zhi Weizheng asked several captains under his command to "The Great Song Military Training Program" and the "Great Song Military Rank System", as well as the just-released "Great Song Military Management Regulations" (also considered military law)

It was sent to all the generals present. When everyone was immersed in hard reading, Zhi Weizheng glanced at Yang Jinhua, Yang Jinhua bowed slightly and left the big tent, along with Ma Su and Wang Chao.

"Vice-Commander, let's get started!" Yang Jinhua and the three of them soon came to the Qilinwei camp and found Di Qing.

"Go ahead with the plan!" Di Qing ordered briefly.

"Yes!" Yang Jinhua saluted and left quickly.

In a short time, the ten Qilinwei brigades were divided into five teams and rushed into the camp of the five border troops, while the five cavalry brigades of the Qilinwei were also assembled in the square and stood by.

After a brief commotion, soldiers began to come out of the camp of one of the border troops, and they lined up to hand over their weapons and armor to the treasury to take the throne. Subsequently, soldiers from other border armies also slowly came out.

When the sun was setting, more than 300,000 troops, with the efforts of 1,000 registration points, completed the collection of weapons in a whole afternoon.

When hundreds of thousands of soldiers were still anxious about their situation, the soldiers of the Qilinwei put away their weapons, patted their buttocks and left, completely ignoring whether the soldiers who were frightened by them needed to be comforted, and dropped a sentence: What should you do, what should you do!

What should I do? Then you don't need to ask, the meal is ordered, of course it's eating! Fortunately, these Kirin Guard guys didn't take away the big guys who ate the guys.

Hum! What's so great, isn't it just created by the Holy Lord, look at them like that! If only I could blend in that day...... I'm going to be like them!

Not to mention, the guy who has this voice in his heart has really mixed up with Qilinwei many years later. Of course, there are also many who fall on this path of progress and never get up again.

The hard-working generals who had been reading the book all afternoon saw that the meal had arrived, and they all showed relieved smiles on their faces, but it didn't take long for these smiles to become bitter gourd faces.

Zhi Weizheng saw Yang Jinhua walk in, the court nodded, he finally let go of his face that had been tense all afternoon, and said to everyone with a smile: "The generals have been reading books for an afternoon, it's really hard!" It's not too early now, so let's take the books back, go to dinner first, and read them slowly! ”

The hard-working generals who had been reading the book all afternoon, when they heard this, all showed relieved smiles on their faces, but it didn't take long for these smiles to become bitter gourd faces.

Because, just as they were about to leave, Zhi Weizheng spoke again: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell the generals something." I saw that you were very serious just now, and I was embarrassed to disturb you, because there was something I didn't tell you. That's the case, the officer thought, anyway, he will have to change to new weapons and equipment in the future, and he didn't need weapons for most of the previous half a year of training, so he took it upon himself to send someone to put away the weapons of the soldiers under the generals, and the generals won't have an opinion, right? ”

No comments? That's weird! But will your sister let us give us advice?

None of the guys who can mix with the general are simple goods, and they each weigh the pros and cons in their minds, and they all have to force a smile on their faces that is more ugly than crying.

It doesn't matter if their smile is ugly or not, as long as there is a smile, then he acquiesces that people have no opinion.

A soldier is the courage of a general, but a weapon is the courage of a soldier. Without a soldier, it is naturally much easier to manage.

It is said that you can't deceive others too much! But this guy looks upright, but he doesn't say so authentic things, it is not enough to bully people once, and it didn't take long for him to stage a good show of bullying people again.

This one played him bigger, he first finished a game of drawing lots with about 3,000 temporary squadron leaders, and the rule of this lottery is to catch that number and go to a barracks outside to get the number of people. This game of drawing lots lasted for ten days, and when the squadron leader finished catching, it was the turn of the captain to catch it, and at this time, of course, the three thousand squadron leaders, and in the end, it was naturally the turn of those generals.

The entire reorganization process lasted about half a month, and the 300,000 people were all divided into fifteen new battalions in accordance with the rules of the Qilin Guard Infantry Battalion. These 15 new battalions will also be gradually divided into three levels in the following various trainings such as running, weight-bearing, military posture, and writing learning, and finally integrate five battalions of 100,000 field troops, garrisons, and reserves each. Of these, one of the five battalions of the field army was a cavalry battalion. The garrison and the reserve were not reluctant to give up the cavalry battalion, they were all infantry, and the reserve even used the original equipment.

At the same time, when the First Group of the Northern Field Army began training, all kinds of new weapons and equipment were slowly dragged out of the military workshops outside the capital and slowly embarked on the road to the north.

To the surprise of the people of the capital, it was not any army that was responsible for transporting these weapons this time, but a big dart bureau called the "Bafang Dart Bureau Alliance" contracted the transportation work.

I heard that this "Octagon Dart Alliance" is also a hot topic in Beijing recently, and everyone is talking about it. I don't know when, the number of darts in the capital have been replaced with new signboards, and they have also put on unified equipment, and after they disappeared for a period of time, everyone felt that they also had a military smell when they walked.

In short, the people of the capital have the most understanding of this new "Octagon Dart Alliance", which still comes from a kind of thing called "leaflets" in the hands of children in the streets and alleys.

"Octagon Dart Alliance, your trusted choice!" "The Bafang Dart Bureau delivers to all directions, so that your goods can be delivered safely and quickly to all directions!" ……

Such language is overwhelming everyone's eyes. And this time they were able to receive such a big job from the emperor, which also made them popular in the capital and even more places, and since then, many businessmen who have seen their strength have asked for delivery.

However, is it really possible for Zhao Zhen to let these dart bureaus send such important military supplies?

Hehe, what do you want! Didn't you see that several of my special operations teams have gone to pretend to be dart masters!
