Chapter 167: One Million Troops, National Strength Restored
"Wow. ”
Sima Yi nodded, not daring to hide it in the slightest, and told it all.
With the strong support of the Military Machinery Pavilion, the new establishment of the army in the whole country of the Great Xia Dynasty has been basically perfected.
The establishment of the new army is as follows: 10 people headed by the army commander, 100 people headed by the chief officer, 1,000 people headed by the captain, and 10,000 people headed by the general.
Military leaders above the rank of lieutenant are all generals and will be personally appointed by the emperor, and generals of different ranks will have different rights to lead troops.
At the same time, all the original vacant posts in the army were abolished, and the military ministers no longer had any channels to fake their posts and register their names, eliminating the possibility of the vast majority of empty salaries.
In this way, the entire army of the Great Xia Dynasty will have increasing rights, rights and personnel at all levels will seem to be very clear, and there will be no power entanglement and management chaos, let alone scattered power.
In all armies, no matter in any form, as long as there are 10,000 or more troops, in addition to lieutenants and generals, there are also procurators and military divisions.
The procurator is responsible for the fact that there will be no rebellion, mutiny, withholding of food and salary, and oppression of non-commissioned officers by high-ranking officers, and the procurator is equivalent to the role of a military tribunal to supervise every move of the army in which he belongs.
The military division is responsible for a series of tasks such as giving advice, assisting the army in arranging, and analyzing fighter planes in large-scale operations (10,000 people or more) of the army.
The procurators, military advisors, and generals constitute the supreme management of the tripartite army, and although there is a certain degree of disadvantage in the division of powers, it avoids the situation of chaos and mutiny in the army to a great extent.
During the period of separate corps operations, the military aircraft cabinet will determine the combat objectives, which greatly avoids the confusion and disagreement that may arise among the three parties of the army management.
At present, the establishment of the army is controlled at 1,000 personnel in the county and county seats, and 5,000 in the capital, and the transfer of less than 1,000 people only requires the consent of the local supreme commander.
The transfer of more than 1,000 people needs to consult the Imperial Capital Military Machine Pavilion and the Military Department Shangshu, and at the same time need to obtain the emperor's dictation or holy decree, and the transfer of more than 10,000 people needs to have a military talisman given by the emperor.
This move was also to avoid possible military rebellion, to prevent anyone from mobilizing a large-scale army in any way, and to avoid something similar to the Eight Kings Rebellion.
After all, although the current high-ranking officers of the Great Xia Dynasty army are basically those that Su Chen can trust
"The new establishment has been rolled out nationwide and is now fully implemented. ”
Sima Yi spoke respectfully, and after pondering for a while, he spoke again: "It's just that the eastern Xinjiang side has not yet begun to implement a new army establishment. ”
All military and division reforms, Dongjiang is not included.
Considering the particularity of Si Long, after soliciting the emperor's opinion, the military aircraft considered the factors in many aspects, and felt that the military system of Eastern Xinjiang could not be moved now.
First, the Eastern Xinjiang army has always been elite, so there is no need to worry too much, and second, they are still needed to defend the Eastern Frontier, which may shake the morale of the army if they move rashly, and it will also affect Si Long's strategic deployment to the Orc Empire.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Su Chen nodded, he had already prepared for this, Dongjiang is currently the most unreckless point in the country, because the situation of the Si Jiajun is slightly special, the accumulation of military merits, and hard work.
Su Chen didn't bother to care, so he turned a blind eye.
According to Su Chen's understanding of Si Long, when the military reform of the entire Great Xia Dynasty becomes a foregone conclusion, Si Long will also consciously follow the military reform of the Military Machine Pavilion at that time.
"What is the current number of troops?"
"Emperor Qiyu, 300,000 Iron Army of Great Xia, 200,000 Town Guard Cavalry, 100,000 newly established White Robe Army, 500,000 elite new army reserves, 1 million reserve troops, and 2 million county guards; ”
Sima Yi said: "There has not yet been a new army establishment, and the current reserve soldiers of each army are just not established, but they can be filled into the army at any time to fight. ”
In total, it seems that the current Great Xia Dynasty has a total of 4.1 million troops, including 1.1 million elite warriors and 3 million ordinary warriors.
If you count the soldiers in Eastern Xinjiang, the Great Xia Dynasty at this time has nearly five million troops, and they can all go to the battlefield to fight!
"Not bad!"
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction: "You have worked hard." ”
"These are all things within the minister's share, and I dare not take credit. ”
Sima Yi and the others hurriedly saluted, very humble.
"The reform of the army involves the issue of military spending and the impact on people's livelihood.
Su Chen warmed another pot of new tea and asked again.
He believed that Sima Yi must be confident about this, and sure enough, after the emperor asked, Sima Yi smiled and said, "This is natural. ”
"In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, in addition to providing a large number of mass-produced spiritual weapons, swords and armor provided by the engineering college, there are also more elite baggage equipment to equip the whole army, and at the same time, the food and salary of the soldiers have been greatly improved. ”
However, to avoid a large amount of military expenditure, the Military Aircraft Pavilion decided to adopt a system of military cantonment for all the non-commissioned officers of the reserve and the non-commissioned soldiers of each county, with soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time. ”
"When I was farming, I didn't have a military pay, but I paid half the usual tax on agriculture. ”
Sima Yi's words made Su Chen even more satisfied.
All kinds of taxes in the previous dynasty were basically maintained at ten taxes and one tax, and even five taxes and one heavy tax appeared, why don't you say the people and princes rebelled?
Under the reform of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, the current tax in Daxia is only 30 taxes, which can be said to be a light tax, which greatly cultivates the people's livelihood and restores national strength.
At the same time, His Excellency ordered no commercial taxes for the next five years, which stimulated the economic recovery of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Now that the treasury is full, it is enough for the army and treasury wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty, and enough for Su Chen to fight a battle for several years, which is also the key reason why Su Chen dared to let His Excellency the military aircraft issue a series of policies to reassure the people and reduce taxes.
As long as the entire Great Xia is given a few years to recuperate, the Great Xia Dynasty will definitely have a chance to return to the terrifying national power of its peak.
Moreover, this series of low taxes allows the people to have surplus grain in their hands to exchange for money, which can promote the development of the economy and other fields, and accelerate the recovery of national strength from the side.
Su Chen talked about some state affairs with Sima Yi and others, and explained some of the Great Xia policies and the direction of government affairs in the spring of the coming year.
"Stand down. ”
The monarchs and ministers chatted until ten in the evening, and then Su Chen waved his hand and took a sip of tea.
"Wow. ”
Sima Yi and the others retreated after giving a salute, but Jia Xu stayed.
"Something?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Xu.
If this guy stays, it means that he must have something that can't be decided on the platform, and he needs to report it to the emperor.
"The minister does have one thing, I hope the emperor can make a decision. ”
Jia Xu sighed, and said in a deep voice: "It's about the Orc Empire. ”
