There is no love without a cause, and there is no hate without a reason.

If Chen Kefu wants to realize the ambition in his heart, then he has to start to let these people in front of him stand on the same side as him little by little. But although these generals are following him now, it is only because he is the general of the Sui Dynasty, and it is not a simple matter for him to make these people in front of him obey him and transform it into personal loyalty to him. Mao Yi, Lu Shishen and others followed him, because they were originally in a relationship between monarchs and ministers, and now they are close to relatives.

For most people, interests are the bonds that really bring different people together.

If he wants those people to follow him in the future and be loyal to him, then he has to show benefits.

And now, these hundreds of official positions are the best benefits, although an official position cannot make people really loyal to him all at once, but it can allow him to get the support of these people step by step.

Although all the generals and colonels in the hall were in a mood, everyone also knew how precious these hundreds of official positions were, and this was definitely the right of the great general Chen Kefu alone. If they don't ask for something they shouldn't, it's all about touching something they shouldn't. Although generals such as Hu Hai and others are now in the official positions of Zhengwupin, there is no share in these vacancies in the Yingyang Mansion, but as a general with troops, which one will have a few fewer henchmen. If you have the opportunity,

Who is not willing to fight for their subordinates.

"General, ten new Eagle Yang Mansions have been added, I'm afraid it's not easy. Now that we are in Liaodong, we want to add more than 10,000 government soldiers, although there is no shortage of soldiers, but there is a shortage of skilled officers and generals. These more than 700 large and small martial arts positions, where do we draw them from? Moreover, if this Eagle Yang Mansion wants to have combat effectiveness in a short period of time, it is not enough to transfer those hundreds of large and small officers, at the very least, the leader of the long gang must be a well-trained veteran who has been scooped down in the war. ”

"There are 12,000 people in these ten Eagle Yang Mansions, and we have to send at least more than 1,000 elite veterans to serve as the captains. General, last time we had already transferred hundreds of lower-level officers to the new army, and if we were to transfer more than 1,000 elite soldiers and nearly 1,000 officers at all levels now, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of my broken barracks would immediately drop by a notch. General, this must be considered. ”

Sima Zhao Cheng in the army got up and said, although he was a civilian, but he was the same as going into battle to slash and kill the siege at night, and at this time his body was still stained with large blood stains.

Chen Kefu sat there and was silent, this matter really made him a little dilemma. With Yang Guang's previous order now, it is indeed a good opportunity to expand the army. And if an army wants to be an army and have combat effectiveness, this is not something that can be solved overnight. Naturally, the sooner the new army is formed, the better, but in this way, it is equivalent to cutting down the only army that is broken barracks, which is undoubtedly not a good decision for them who will have several major battles soon.

Fighting is never a math problem that a large number of people will necessarily win, but sometimes, the number of people is also a advantage that cannot be ignored, if he wants to succeed, he must not rely on only 10,000 broken barracks.

Time, what he needs most now is time, but he doesn't have time.

"Everyone, now that we have conquered Liaodong City, then we should know that it is impossible for us to withdraw early. Regardless of success or failure, we have to wait until reinforcements arrive, or even wait directly for the second conquest of Liao by the army next year. Therefore, the expansion of troops is an urgent matter. In the past, we did not dare to break up the broken barracks, because it was our only regular army.

However, if this continues for a long time, the broken barracks will inevitably continue to be damaged in the battle, and when the strength of the broken barracks is reduced, the new army will not be able to raise it? What are we going to do? ”

"Since Your Majesty retired from the army, I have been tossing and turning every night for the past few days, unable to sleep at night, thinking about our situation all the time. At this time, we are undoubtedly on the cusp of the stormy waves, and if we are not careful, we will be submerged under the bō waves. Now, we have no way back, forward, there is hope, backward, there is no backward. I have already thought about it, and this expansion is imperative. Not only that, but we also had to completely split the broken barracks, and all the remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses were scattered except for the 3,000 heavy cavalry. As the backbone, new units were formed. His Majesty's order is for us to add ten new Eagle Yang Mansions, and to have the right to train the people at any time. ,

"In the present situation, a regular army of 22,000 men alone is certainly not enough. However, if we do not have the veterans of the broken barracks as the backbone, we will be newly added to the army and will not be able to gather combat strength. Therefore, the first plan of this general is to form the Northeast Army, which has six divisions under its jurisdiction, each division is based on 1,000 men and horses of the second battalion and one regiment of the original broken barracks, plus 10,000 people from each of the six divisions of the original People's Army, and the officers at all levels of the broken barracks are the officers at all levels of each division. As he spoke, Chen Kefu took out a manual, which he had spent several days trying to get roughly modeled after the formation of the army divisions of later generations.

In today's situation, what he needs is the army, if he keeps holding on to a broken barracks, then the other new Sixth Divisions are completely a group of rabble, it's okay to clean up the battlefield or something, and if you really want them to go to the battlefield, it is estimated that it will never be possible. Reorganizing the army now, although very risky, is completely worth the risk compared to the benefits he can get in the future.

According to his plan 1, the division is the cluster, but the regiment and battalion are the basic command units, which is similar to the current Yingyang Mansion.

The division has a division headquarters, with the division commander as the main officer, and the division headquarters also has a deputy division commander, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff,

Operational staff officers, etc.

According to his plan,1 each division was to have four infantry regiments, one cavalry battalion, one cavalry reconnaissance battalion, one engineer battalion, one communications battalion, one heavy battalion, and one medical battalion. Each division has 6,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, and 2,000 logistical, communications, medical, and other auxiliary troops, totaling 11,000 people.

Each infantry regiment has three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion. Each infantry battalion has four infantry companies, each of which consists of three infantry platoons. Each infantry platoon consisted of three infantry squads, each with dozens of people. Each infantry is equipped with a set of bright light armor, a spear, a horizontal sword, a bow and arrow, and a shield.

10 people in an infantry squad, 120 people in a company, 500 people in a battalion, 2,000 people in a regiment, and 11,000 people in a division.

Each squad has a squad leader, and the platoon has a platoon leader and a mine platoon leader. The company has a company headquarters, including company commanders, company commanders, secretary generals, and cooking squad personnel. The battalion headquarters has a battalion commander, a battalion commander, a battalion staff officer and battalion headquarters personnel. The regimental headquarters also has a regimental headquarters, including the regiment commander, the regimental commander, the regimental chief of staff, the regimental chief of staff, the regimental headquarters staff officer and subordinate personnel. The chiefs of staff at all levels are responsible for assisting the commander-in-chief in directing operations and training, while the staff officers at all levels are responsible for the duties of the six military officers of the former departments.

The engineer battalion is responsible for setting up camp, digging ditches, and operating large equipment. It includes the operation of various catapults, ladders, flying towers, cloud carts, rushing carts, chariots and large bows.

There have always been a lot of various instruments in the army of the Great Sui, especially the crossbows in the army, which are equipped with arm crossbows, horn bow crossbows, wooden single crossbows, large wooden single crossbows, bamboo pole crossbows, Fuyuan crossbows, and winch crossbows. Among them, the range of the Fuyuan crossbow can reach 300 steps, about 450 meters. The range of the arm crossbow is also 220 steps, the range of the horn bow is 200 steps, and the range of the single bow is about 160 steps. The largest winch crossbow requires dozens of people, and even has to be equipped with horses to pull, and its range can also reach a terrifying 600 steps, the largest winch crossbow left in the Sui army base camp must be pulled by hundreds of people, and the range of this crossbow is also terrifying to nearly 700 steps, more than 1,000 meters away, which is definitely the strongest long-range weapon in this era.

The equipment of the Sui army is very sophisticated and rich, and it can be said that each infantry is equipped with long-range and short-range weapons, and it is completely possible to choose different weapons according to the needs of wartime at any time. This is also the reason why the soldiers of the Sui army are stronger than the soldiers and horses of other nationalities, such as the soldiers of Goguryeo, which are basically composed of separate detachments according to the different weapons used by pikemen, archers, shield soldiers, etc.

After reading Chen Kefu's plan, everyone was a little stunned, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any comments? Let's discuss and improve together. ”

Li Jie smiled, stood up and said, "General, according to the last general, this plan is not usable at all. According to the practice in the army, if a group of ten people is mixed with a new soldier, then the combat effectiveness of the army does not drop much, if two new soldiers are added to a group, then the combat effectiveness will be at least one percent, and according to this ratio has been increased, when there are three new recruits in a group, then his combat effectiveness will drop by at least about half. If more than half of the recruits in a group of soldiers are recruited, then the army has completely lost its previous strong combat effectiveness, and it is not much different from those new recruits who listen to the army. ”

"And as far as I can see now, the general, you actually want to mix nine recruits into a group of soldiers, which is equivalent to keeping only one veteran. My lord, do you think the combat effectiveness of this army is still there? Our broken military camp has always been a first-class strong soldier among the armies of the Great Sui, and it is no problem to fight 30,000 or 40,000 Goguryeo people with 10,000. And now, the general has scattered all the troops at once, so can the broken barracks still have half of the combat effectiveness? ”

Chen Kefu smiled, "As General Li Jie said, our army is no problem with one against three, so although the general will break up most of the broken military camp to form a new army, he still has four thousand soldiers and horses." Moreover, there are also 3,000 heavy cavalry among them, which can completely decide the outcome when it is critical.

Now we have to fight two ambush battles, both of which can be said to be very easy as long as there are no accidents. My purpose is to seize this opportunity to reorganize the army, so that the reorganized army can also go to the battlefield, first, there will be no danger, and second, it can also let them see blood on the battlefield in person, and train with battle, otherwise, the step-by-step ancestral training, even if it comes to next year, it will still be just a group of new soldiers. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I also want to practice slowly, but we don't have time." Chen Kefu looked at everyone and said slowly.
