Chapter 11 Reorganization of the Army
There is no distinction between advanced and backward military establishments, and there is no such thing as a modern military establishment being more advanced than the ancient military establishment, and the development of an armed force is closely related to military equipment and specific tactics.

Whenever there is a new equipment and new tactics evolve from these new equipment, then there will be an establishment suitable for this new tactic, so the advanced establishment must follow the tactics of the army, and it is not just a direct copy of the modern establishment.
There are now four religions in the world, and the Western religion believes that the West has Elysium, so it has been developing westward, and for thousands of years, it has been difficult to see the traces of the Western religion in the Central Plains, and only a few believers are still spreading the teachings.
According to legend, the interception of the sect was created by the master of Tongtian, and the exposition was built by his brother Yuan Tianzun, both of whom were disciples of Hongjun, and they were from the same door, but the disciples of the two sects fought quite fiercely.
Although there is preaching, it is a way of cultivating the Tao and seeking to become immortals, which is a very traditional study of life, and what is preached is not so much faith as a way of life is more suitable, so it does not go too deep into secular life.
The witch cult is completely a freak compared to them, the birth and development of this freak has a lot to do with the location of its origin, the witch cult was born in the Bashu Basin, and the Bashu Basin is surrounded by continuous lofty mountains, only the north has a narrow mountain road leading to the field, the traffic is very inconvenient, almost isolated from the world.
The birth of the witch cult benefited from the modern medical inheritance left by Zheng Jun in the Ba tribe, which was carried forward by his disciple Heiyu at that time, relying on this super medicine far ahead of the times, the witches at that time gradually gained the trust and reverence of their own tribes, and most of the tribal leaders after Heiyu were served by the tribe's witches.
As the tribe gradually developed into a city, the witch who served as the leader of the tribe evolved into the current great witch, and the great witches of these various cities united to become the witch cult.
In such an era of low productivity and low life expectancy, it is not strange that the status of doctors who have mastered the medical skills of the era has been infinitely raised, as long as there is a demand for medicine, they can only let the witch cult infiltrate, but it is the Bashu Basin that is completely controlled by the witch religion and these gradually developing cities.
Therefore, the Witchcraft is actually just a tribal alliance with a different name and a more developed development, and when other tribal alliances are gradually developing into a country, because of its own technological nerd attributes, the Witchcraft is behind the times in terms of organization.
Under the control of the Witch Cult, the cities are very independent, and the armies that have developed are also different, whether it is weapons or tactics, there are considerable differences.
The traditional establishment of the army within the witch cult is actually Zheng Jun's original brain in the Ba people, and he came up with it, and this establishment is actually quite a layman, which can only be regarded as solving the problem of whether there is a problem, and the Ba warriors at that time have changed from disorder to order, and established the most basic organization, but the effectiveness of this establishment is actually not very good.
Because of this, most of the cities that still retain their traditional formations today are those cities with relatively peaceful environments and less participation in warfare. Those cities that often fought against the Yi people were usually equipped with different weapons and tactics according to their own experience and financial resources, and they also had corresponding establishments.
Generally speaking, the surrounding cities are relatively flat, mainly based on car battles, and the establishment is not much different from the Shang and Zhou periods.
In some cities, the terrain around them is complex, and their armies are mainly composed of infantry and fight in small phalanxes, so the establishment is very different from the establishment of the army, which is mainly based on vehicle warfare.
Whether it is mainly in vehicle warfare or infantry, the combat vehicles they are equipped with and the weapons of the infantry are also different, and there are also many differences in tactics and establishment, and it is difficult to unify them.
In addition, because of the different strength of the cities in various places, the number of troops they sent is also different, from two or three hundred to eight or nine hundred, which makes it even more difficult to integrate.
And the difficulties are not only that, every city regards participating in the holy war as a major glory, and the soldiers sent are of course elite, and the officers are unwilling to be reluctant, and most of them have followed, only a few unlucky people have been left to guard their homes, which leads to the fact that the army sent by each city has its own officers, and most of the establishments are not full of small formations, but dissatisfied with the image of large formations, which is of course to facilitate the participation of more officers in the holy war, but for Zheng Jun, who is trying to reorganize the army, this is a bad news that will definitely not make him feel convenient。
Zheng Jun, who served as the commander of the army, began his work for a few days, that is, to meet with officers at all levels every day, first of all, to get to know each other with them, and secondly, Zheng Jun also wanted to ask some relevant questions to generally understand the abilities of his officers, so as to facilitate the integration of the establishment later.
After having a basic understanding of all the officers, the Zheng army began to reorganize the entire army, filling in the small number of troops into the large number, and reorganizing the full army, although it is said that as far as each city is concerned, the army sent can be said to be incomplete, and it is certainly no problem to deal with a small group of Yiren tribal warriors independently, but it is definitely not possible to participate in large-scale operations. But as long as you have a clear clue and analyze it clearly, it is still relatively clear.
In general, Zheng Jun divided all the armies into two major categories, namely chariots and infantry, although the establishment was very chaotic, but there were also these two classifications in the types, and this classification was still in line with the productive forces of this era.
The chariot army is the earliest assault force, and then it was gradually replaced by cavalry, but now it is still the main assault force, Zheng Jun in modern times on the ancient chariot warfare, it can be said that he does not know much about the ancient chariot warfare, and can not put forward any valuable plans, can only refer to ready-made examples.
The traditional establishment of the witch cult was only thought up by Zheng Jun, and it was appropriate to deny it at this time, and the first one was abolished first, and those that were invented according to their own conditions may be suitable for the local situation, but they are not extensive and have been eliminated.
In the end, of course, we can only choose to reorganize the army according to the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, which is after all a very mature establishment, which has been used for hundreds of years and will continue to be used for hundreds of years. In the absence of revealing obvious shortcomings, it is only logical to use existing proven experience.
The main combat force of this era is the mixed unit with the vehicle soldier as the core, so this formation is also very suitable for this tactic, Zheng Jun has no need or ability to invent a new tactical formation to implement, and although King Wu of Zhou set the convergence time a few months in advance, but counting the distance, there is not much time left to train new tactics.
The establishment of the army was not much different from that of the Shang Dynasty, after all, Ji Chang, the father of King Wu of Zhou, had been the Xibohou of the Shang Dynasty before, and he had only been the king for more than ten years. In terms of the establishment of the assault force, Shang and Zhou both used a chariot as a combat group, called a chariot, such a multiplier, such a multiplication, is a mixed army, the chariot has an archer, a spearman, and a royal hand, and then cooperates with 7 infantry to form a combat unit of 10 people.
Such a five-by-one team is called a team, and the five teams are organized into a "positive deviation", and a "positive deviation" is organized into 25 multipliers, with a total of 250 fighters, and the four positive deviations are organized into a division, and such a division is a vehicle division, which is an assault force.
In terms of infantry, five people are one army, four soldiers are organized into one two, five two are organized into one pawn, every five pawns are a brigade, and five brigades are organized into a division, and such a division is an infantry division, which is the main force to maintain the battle line.
There are also corps establishments above divisions, with five divisions on one side, which can have a strength of 12,500 troops, but because there is no suitable army-level commander at hand, Zheng Jun only plans to improve the division-level establishment and then form army-level units according to the situation.
