Liu Yi spoke for two quarters of an hour in a row, all about various policies and regulations of the county soldiers.

Shang Ji's position on the county soldiers was very clear - the auxiliary force of the battlefield, the reserve soldiers of the main army, and the backbone of maintaining local stability.

As a last resort, Shang Ji would not send soldiers to confront the enemy on the battlefield.

Again, the soldiers are not much more expensive!

Maybe the fifth-order army can still be called elite in the eyes of other princes, but after the battle of Kwai Cheng and the fierce confrontation between the eighth-order and ninth-order armies, Shang Ji looks down on these low-level armies more and more.

If it weren't for the objective conditions, Shang Ji wanted to directly raise the standard of the war army to the seventh order.

The 10,000 ninth-order black-armored Xuanqi is an invincible existence in the plains, without the containment of an army of the same level, no matter how much the fifth-order army comes, it is not afraid of any more businessmen, and a single charge can disperse hundreds of thousands of such troops.

With the same resources, raising a thousand-nine-order army or a million-fifth-order army, if he could choose freely, Shang Ji would not hesitate to choose the former.

"With regard to the war army, the tentative reform plan is as follows:

First of all, change the division method based on the division of troops. The size of the army was further reduced, tentatively reduced to 6 million, and the existing surplus was attached to the scope of the army in the form of supplementary battalions, and was not to be dismantled for the time being.

All the existing ninth-order and eighth-order armies, except for the personal guards of the generals, are all used in a centralized manner, and then outstanding soldiers are screened within the whole army, and the existing eighth-order and ninth-order armies are the core to form a Praetorian Guard directly under the lord, with a tentative number of 200,000. ”

There was a little commotion when everyone heard this, which meant that the major generals would lose the command of their own descendants, and the most elite part would also be contributed and handed over to Shang Ji to personally command.

That is to say, the Shang Ji Army was established by Shang Ji single-handedly, and his prestige in the army is unrivaled, otherwise the consequences of this blatant cutting of flesh will not only be some small commotions.

Liu Yi ignored the commotion and continued: "The Praetorian Guard has set up four front generals to assist the lord in managing the Praetorian Guard. The front teeth will be held by all military generals at or above the prefectural level (inclusive) in the whole army in turn, and each will serve for a term of one year. ”

"With the exception of the Praetorian Guard, all armies of the whole army are organized into twenty corps of varying numbers, depending on the combat mission. The number of people under the jurisdiction of each legion is between 200,000 and 300,000, and the legion includes a variety of troops such as bows, infantry, cavalry, crossbows, and magic (Taoists, magicians, sacrifices, etc.), and each legion must have the ability to fight independently.

The legion will be the largest tactical unit, and at the same time the smallest unit of the campaign, and some of the most important combat objectives will be centered on a combat legion, supplemented by a number of county soldiers, and only in more important battles will an elite army composed of all combat legions be dispatched. ”

"In order to meet the needs of the increasingly fierce battles, the lord proposed that all generals (excluding the 200,000 Praetorian Guards) at the rank of chief and above in the combat legion could establish a division according to the number of troops under their command.

The chief may have two subordinates, ten commanders, forty Simas, two hundred battalion Simas, and one thousand captains.

The generals are recruited by themselves, and the general's office provides military salaries and salaries according to the standard of three times the average level of soldiers in the combat corps, and the general's office does not interfere in the promotion and debasement within the department.

Unless it is detached from the sequence of the trilogy, the military merit of the trilogy is established and rewarded by the subordinate generals, and the general's office is no longer responsible. The trophies seized by the troops were handed over to the general's palace and must not be intercepted, and those who violated the order were severely punished. The subordinates deliberately broke away from the subordinate generals, and the generals were not allowed to stop them without a legitimate reason.

If a subordinate violates the law, the military justice department shall uniformly punish him, and the generals to which the subordinate subordinate shall not interfere, and the generals to which the subordinate subordinate shall bear the corresponding punishment according to the severity of the responsibility for the crime. ”

Listening to Liu Yi's words, everyone was in an uproar, and the reaction was several times stronger than the reaction of Shang Ji to establish the Praetorian Guard just now.

Part, this is a nice saying, but it is not a good saying, that is a private soldier!

No one thought that Shang Ji would take the initiative to establish a tribal system, let alone that the general's mansion would provide money and food to establish a tribal system.

Those who don't know think Shang Ji is crazy!

Of course Shang Ji is not crazy, not only is he not crazy, but he is also very sober.

The establishment of a tribal system was a decision made by Shang Ji after careful consideration.

When they hear about the establishment of the ministry, many people's first reaction is not very friendly words, such as warlordization, listening to the tune but not listening to the propaganda, and rebellion in the feudal towns.

However, behind all of this is the powerful combat power of the trilogy!

Taking the end of the Tang Dynasty as an example, after the division of the feudal towns, the combat effectiveness of the central government of the Tang Dynasty was weak, but the overall combat effectiveness of the entire Tang Empire soared.

The feudal towns are not wrong, but the internal friction between the feudal towns is the fault.

If we continue to expand outward with the combat power displayed by the feudal towns, the entire Eurasian continent will not be enough.

In order to maximize the combat effectiveness of these armies, the generals to whom the troops belong will do everything possible to fully mobilize their subjective initiative and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army.

The enhanced combat effectiveness will eventually be intuitively reflected in the overall combat effectiveness of the Shang Ji army.

In addition, the establishment of the tribal system by Shang Ji was also to further ensure the safety of the generals themselves. Not everyone is Zhao Yun, and he has the combat power to survive in the army. Compared with the pro-guard army, the troops are more loyal to the generals themselves, and their combat effectiveness is also stronger, which can ensure the safety of the generals on the battlefield to the greatest extent.

The trilogy is still a sharp knife for attacking fortifications, and when the war reaches a scorching moment, the general leads the trilogy to charge in person, and there is a high probability that it will have a decisive result.

As for whether there will be a situation where the tail cannot be thrown off in the end, and the generals support their own troops, Shang Ji can be sure that as long as he lives, this situation will definitely not happen.

With Shang Ji's current power, even if he ordered his general to cut himself, he would also have to be killed.

Besides, in a sense, the Praetorian Guard of Shang Ji is also a kind of tribe, but the scale is too large and the level is too high.

As for the aftermath of Shang Ji's death - after my death, the law of history tells us that there is no immortal dynasty, but those hypocrites who do not hold real power in the hands of the monarch live more stable.

In fact, Shang Ji still has a bold plan in his heart, and the formulation of the tribal system is also part of this plan, but this plan is too bold for Shang Ji to mention to outsiders.

He hoped that one day, feudalism would be restored!
