"Since you're here today, it's just so good that I have something to look for you!" Li Shimin said.

Jingwen's appearance just now, those eunuchs originally thought that Jingwen was more than lucky. But now they are like brothers with the emperor again, so those eunuchs have to be convinced. This eunuch deserves it, and he actually understands the emperor's thoughts. And these eunuchs around Li Shimin, of course, know that Jingwen is also a eunuch, and he is also the lowest chef among the eunuchs. But now that they are mixing so well, they all have the idea of "learning from Jingwen". Now it looks like he's about to lose his head, but he immediately appeased the emperor well, isn't this a skill?

Jingwen immediately said: "If the emperor has something to say, the minister must know everything!" ”

"I've seen your compilation, and it seems that there are a lot of things that don't match our Datang! According to the level of divisions, brigades, battalions, companies, and platoons you proposed to me, it does not match ours. When the time comes, when we change, how do we carry out the reform? According to your standards, the platoon commander is also the ninth rank, which is about the same as the rights of our current nine rank military attachés. However, the company-level company commander is the eighth grade. But a company, it's almost a regiment of our old-style government soldiers, about 300 people. However, there are more than 100 people in a company, and the eighth grade is a bit high. The brigade commander manages 300 people, and it is only eight grades. But then, one of your battalions, about 300 people, is equivalent to a regiment of old-style government soldiers in the past, but it is a seventh grade, which is also a bit high. One of your regiments, more than 1,000 or 2,000 people, is only six grades, which is obviously too low. A regiment of more than 1,000 or 2,000 men, referring to the old-style army, is at least a high-class Ochong Prefecture. A high-grade Orichong Lieutenant of the Orichong Mansion is at least a fourth-grade one. And one of your divisions, close to 20,000 people, is probably the size of a guard, which is equivalent to a great general. Originally, a general of Wei had to be at least three grades, but when it came to you. But he is only a five-rank military attaché. Military level, this is the highest level you set up, that is, a guard, the chief officer is the third rank, and the deputy is the fourth rank, which is a little too low. An army, about 40,000 people, the third grade is obviously a little low. So, you're a mess that can't be changed from the past. Li Shimin said with a headache.

Li Shimin said so much. In fact, it also means that the establishment of Jingwen is not suitable for the establishment of this era. Because this establishment of Jingwen was compiled according to the establishment of the army of later generations. The national conditions of later generations were countless times greater than those of ancient times. And the population is large, and the number of troops is also large. Therefore, the armies of later generations were all large, and the rank of officers was not too high. But in ancient times, it was different, and the army in ancient times was small. In this way, the officers who had the same number of troops in charge of later generations had a much higher status out of thin air than civilians. This is also the truth that scarcity is expensive. In ancient times, there were few armies, so the status was improved out of thin air.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 1,000 people in the Zhichong Mansion. He managed an army of just over a thousand people, but he was a military attache of the fourth grade. If it comes to the next generation, at least the rank of lieutenant general. More than 1,000 people can be lieutenant generals, and I am afraid that this will laugh off the big teeth in future generations. But this was true in ancient times. Instead, I think it's reasonable.

Therefore, if Jingwen is based on this establishment, I am afraid that the next military reform will be difficult. Want to change. First of all, the level should not be changed too much. You can't force a "lieutenant general" to be a lieutenant colonel, right? So, this change is a difficult thing to do. If you demote someone out of thin air, I'm afraid no one will be happy. And this kind of top-down reform has too many things to consider, even Li Shimin has a headache. The effect of demoting others, and generally demoting military attaches throughout the country, is even stronger.

When the time comes, will the people below not understand, and will the officers below think that the imperial court is trying to suppress the military attachés? If the time comes, will it cause a new round of civil and military disputes? So, I'm afraid this is a very headache. The dispute between civil and military affairs, if you control it well, it is the happiness of the emperor. But if the control is not good, then I am afraid that there will be problems. Therefore, Li Shimin is also worried that new problems will arise here. Jingwen's new establishment is not very beneficial to high-ranking officers.

"Your Majesty, in fact, our new army should be more professional in the future, and it has been out of the situation of the government soldiers in the past. In the past, the government soldiers were all ordinary peasants and trained in winter. And this new army, on the contrary, is mainly focused on training war skills. Therefore, our army is a professional army, and its combat effectiveness has increased a lot. Since it is a new professional army, there is nothing impossible with a new establishment. And the high-level military attaché, that is, there are only a few people, we don't have to pay too much attention to it. As long as the emperor clarifies the thoughts of those famous generals, it is not a big problem. And the new middle and senior management can be carried out to let them re-learn, and then compete for posts. If they are up to the task, then move them to a new position. Jingwen said.

"What if they can't do it?" Li Shimin asked.

The emperor asked this question, but it was to the point. Because officialdom has the rules of officialdom, an official cannot be demoted or dismissed if he or she has not made a mistake. Therefore, these military attaches did not make mistakes, but at least they were not capable. Lack of ability, this is not a reason to be able to push them to the end. Ability is a very idealistic thing, you can say that he can do it, and if you say he can't do it, it will not work. Perhaps, some people are also good, but they are used in the wrong place, and as a result, many people are buried. Although it is said that I am born to be useful, there are too few people who can be appreciated by Bole.

"Your Majesty, if you can't pass the assessment, we don't ask them to go directly to the government and the people! We can make them civil servants, which we can call a job change. The army of the future should be a place for young people, and once they get older, they will not be able to accept new tactics and weapons. So, it should be a place where young people gather. Therefore, I propose that there should be an age for officers at all levels, and if the age is reached, then they must change jobs to become a civilian official. Officers should be aggressive, while civilians should be steady. And it is also appropriate to become a civil official when you are older. ”

"No, if every veteran of an army is in town, it is also dangerous." Li Shimin said.

Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean to let an absolutely young person be a senior officer. I'm just relative, the more senior the officer, the higher the set age for transfer, so I also say that there are relatively experienced veterans as leaders. However, in the future, the army will probably change rapidly, and the older it gets, the more difficult it will be to accept new things. So, they are not fit to be an officer. As for the veterans of the past, this will do more harm than good to the future army, so this idea of veterans should be eliminated. And with an affiliated staff organization such as the Military Affairs Department, it can also play the role of a veteran, and it will not be a basket. (To be continued......)
