At present, Jixiang has only 1,500 regular soldiers, including 200 Wang Xuan Guards, 300 City Guards, 500 Farm Troops stationed in the south of the city, and 500 troops stationed in the Chi Defense Line in Ji.

In addition, of the 3,000 people in the Production and Construction Corps, Wang Xuan plans to select 1,000 people to form an engineering unit, and the remaining 2,000 people will form the Jixiang Construction Bureau No. 1, which will be subordinate to the Ministry of Construction, while the road construction team directly under the Ministry of Construction will be changed to the Jixiang Construction No. 2 Bureau.

The first bureau is mainly responsible for the construction of roads and bridges, while the second bureau is more inclined to the construction of passes, fortresses, etc.

As a result, the army rose to 2,500 men, and the first and second bureaus were originally adapted from the army, and they were used as reserves and could be directly deployed on the battlefield at critical times.

The security forces are under the dual jurisdiction of the government and the military, and in the event of an order, the military will prevail.

On December 28th, Wang Xuan's study, the main generals of the military were there.

"I have been reducing the size of the army, and now there are only 1,500 regular troops, and we still have at least half a year to be stable, so I would like to mention the reform and construction of the army. ”

Wang Xuan presided over this military meeting, and it was straight to the point, and the army liked it.

"I won't explain why the army has been reformed until now, but I'll talk about the general framework first. ”

"The military is under the command of the General Staff, which is in charge of the naval, land, air, logistics, and political departments, and in wartime the General Staff assigns generals to lead the troops. ”

According to Wang Xuan's plan, senior generals will be on duty at the general staff in peacetime, and will not command specific troops in non-war times.

In this way, the influence of senior generals can be minimized, military mutinies can be prevented, and the authority of the lord can be strengthened.

As for the Air Force, Wang Xuan didn't want to rush into action, so he temporarily took up a vacant post and was first responsible for training.

"The Political Department is responsible for the appointment and promotion of officers, the Military Court is responsible for the trial and trial of cases relating to military personnel, and the Military Police Department is responsible for maintaining discipline in the army and ensuring the execution of military orders. At the same level as the Political Department is the Logistics Department, which is responsible for the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the entire army, and ensures the needs of military construction and operations in terms of material funds, medical aid, transportation, equipment maintenance, and infrastructure construction and barracks. Do you have any comments or suggestions on the establishment and powers and responsibilities of these institutions?"

The generals look at me, I look at you, and no one raised any objections, not even talking.

Wang Xuan looked at Wang Yu, and Wang Yu nodded, indicating that the army generally understands the meaning of the existence of these institutions, but the name has changed and it is more formal.

Since everyone has no meaning, Wang Xuan directly announced the appointment of the chief officials of each department:

Chief of Staff: Wang Xuan, nothing has changed here, and there is no need to explain.

Deputy Chief of Staff: Wang Yu, that's reasonable.

Army Commander-in-Chief: Xiao Qiangzhi, no change.

Commander of the Navy: Zhao Qiang, no change.

Air Force Commander-in-Chief: Han Zhigang, who is only in name, will be in charge of new-style military training in the near future.

Chief of the Logistics Department: Qin Dynasty, a rising star in the military, about 30, the supply of grain and grass during the Ji-Chi War was timely, orderly, and outstanding.

Chief of the Political Department: Liu Zhiyuan, Wang Xuan's father's captain of the guard.

Units under the jurisdiction of the Department of Political Affairs:

President of the Military Tribunal: Qin Le

Director of the Organization Department: Wang Wei

Director of the Military Police Division: Yang Tao (also Captain of the Internal Guard)

Then Wang Xuan announced that at the beginning of 55 years, the military headquarters building would be built on the side of Xingyao Lake in the northwest of Jixiang City, and he would design the drawings, and then the Ministry of Construction would complete the details.

When the generals heard this, their faces were also full of joy, and the spring of the military department had finally arrived! The newly appointed chief officer also held his head high, and Wang Xuan saw that everyone's sense of honor still existed, and his heart was half relieved.

According to Wang Xuan's design, the above-mentioned commanders of the armed forces are part-time staff officers, plus logistics, political departments, Wang Yu, etc., and a decision-making group composed of seven people will be formed, and they will be added after the establishment of special forces, and then Wang Xuan will be able to stay out of the matter and advance or retreat.

For the time being, the military reform does not involve military ranks, but only involves positions and the composition of military units, as follows:

The team consists of 10 members, with a principal and deputy team leader, totaling 12 people;

Squadron, five squadrons form a squadron, one captain and one deputy squadron leader, two liaison officers, six guards, a total of 70 people;

The brigade consists of five squadrons as one brigade, one chief and one deputy captain, two squadrons of 24 guards, 12 liaison squadrons, four cooks, four military doctors and four nurses, totaling 400 people.

In contrast, a squadron is equivalent to a squad, a squadron is equivalent to a reinforced platoon, and a brigade is equivalent to the size of a battalion.

Further up, there is the commander of the first army, and the number of troops in charge is determined by the scale of the operation, and he should work in the staff office in peacetime.

Squadrons and squadrons do not have separate cooks and medics, but are part-time combatants, so training in first aid and surgery should also be carried out appropriately.

This is strongly related to Liu Nati of the Ministry of Health, the establishment of medical research institutions, which can be a combination of military and civilian, Chinese and Western.

As for the establishment of the security force, it is a reduced version of the military establishment, to be precise, the reduction of the military establishment by half is the establishment of the security force.

Seven members of the security team, including the chief and deputy captains;

The security squadron consists of three squadrons, with a total of 23 members;

The Public Security Brigade consists of three squadrons with a total of 71 members.

The only difference between the security forces and the army is that one is internal and the other is external, and the rest, including promotion and logistics, are all a system.

This is the case with the establishment of the external environment, which will change accordingly with the changes in the external environment, in order to respond effectively and reasonably.

As for training, Wang Xuan basically adopted the PLA model of later generations, emphasizing organization, discipline and teamwork.

The specific training content was participated in during military training, so Wang Xuan still remembered it clearly, and he could copy some of it.

Therefore, Wang Xuan arranged for Han Zhigang to be in charge of the training of the 1,500 regular army, and the engineering corps still had construction tasks, so Wang Yu was responsible for its training, with a different focus.

As for the training syllabus, Wang Xuan plans to compile it after returning from the royal capital and complete it by February, so that all branches of the military can carry out basic training and then carry out training in special skills with some focus.

The Admiralty, like the Air Force, is currently an ornament, but considering the cyclical nature of naval training, Wang Xuan also put the construction of the Navy on the agenda.

Wang Xuan asked Zhao Qiang to select two hundred sergeants from the Chengnan Farm and the Jixiang City Guard to form a navy, first set up the shelves, and conduct various skills training for the navy.

The other is the reform of military salaries. Due to the good development of auspicious development this year, the government and workers have benefited, but the soldiers still receive a fixed military salary, so Wang Xuan decided to reformulate the amount of military salary, as for the amount decided by the General Staff Department through consultation, he will not participate.

In other words, all of you here are discussing how to pay military salaries at all levels, and you should decide for yourself how to pay military salaries at all levels.

On January 30, 55, the military department will submit an application for a change in military salaries, and the application must be signed and confirmed by all staff officers.

If no resolution can be reached after the expiration date, the military salaries of all the people participating in the deliberation will remain unchanged, and the government affairs yuan will reformulate the military salaries of other grassroots non-commissioned officers.

Once the military pay law was enacted, soldiers were required to go to the logistics office every month to receive their salaries, thus eliminating the possibility of deducting military salaries.

For the defenders stationed at Chengnan Farm and Dongxingyaoshan Pass, their military salaries will be escorted by the logistics office to the door, and after the establishment of the Jixiang Bank, exchange vouchers will be issued and collected with bills.

In the future, if a soldier is stationed abroad or is on a mission and it is inconvenient to receive his salary, the military department will decide whether to stay or pay it to his family; if a soldier has special requirements and meets the conditions for the payment of military salary, it will be carried out according to the requirements.

Now everyone is not calm, all of them are blushing and thick-necked, if it weren't for the restrictions of military discipline, it is estimated that they would have celebrated.

The honor of the army makes them love this profession, and they are all a group of people who chase their dreams, and being able to protect the lords and protect them is equivalent to guarding their dreams.

In the past year, everyone has seen the auspicious development in their eyes and is happy in their hearts.

Looking at the obvious changes in the neighborhoods, those who eat fish today and meat tomorrow are false to say that they are not envious, so what can they do? In the past few years, the faces of the auspicious defenders have been completely lost by them, and when the soldiers are approaching the city, they would rather choose to fight to the death than make peace, in order to guard the last honor and dignity of the soldiers.

After more than a year of neglect, they felt humiliated deep in their bones, and they thought it was a punishment, both God's punishment and the Lord's punishment, and they had to accept it.

They are waiting, waiting for a chance to go to war again, and they are also waiting for a chance to be ashamed. They were afraid, afraid that the Lord would be completely cold to them, and that they would never have the opportunity to go to war again!

Even more than one person thought in their hearts that as long as they could go to the battlefield again, even if they died, it would be glorious.

In this way, they will no longer have to face the indifference hidden under various expressions, and their own family members can openly tell their neighbors and friends: My son, my man is not a bad seed, he is a martyr, and he died in battle to protect auspiciousness......

Now that the time comes, they have the opportunity to prove themselves and wash away their shame, and the salary increase is the best proof of this.

It's been suppressed for a long time, but the timing is just right! Wang Xuan looked at them and felt a lot.

There weren't many gold coins left in the inner treasury, but there were still eight thousand, so Wang Xuan wrote an edict and instructed the Qin Dynasty and the guards to go to the inner treasury to take five thousand gold coins, and distribute them according to the list before the army split, one for each person.

As soon as the reform of the army came to an end, Wang Xuan also went to the Government Affairs Yuan, asked about the quality of the cement road, and left a group of people there to discuss the appropriate amount of military pay at all levels......

Wang Xuan has always been preferential to military families, and this time he came to the Government Affairs Yuan to go through the back door and leave a group of female positions for them.

Like perfume factories and soap factories, they are all women-dominated factories, and the work is not so hard, the wind can't blow, the rain can't hit.

Half of the soldiers in the army are married, and there are only about 100 families in difficulty, so Wang Xuan wants to solve the worries of the soldiers at one time, so that they can join the army with peace of mind.

After Zhao Sheng learned of Wang Xuan's intention, he naturally agreed, and now he has just started recruiting, and there is still a part of the gap!
