However, in Joseph's view, although the Bright Empire has established a formal conscription system, its development is very uneven. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Not only are the systems of each province different, but there are also many provinces in the Empire of Light that are the territory of a certain noble, so the military establishment system is even more complicated and cumbersome.

There will even be friction between the aristocracy and the military, which is really a mess, and it is obvious that there are huge drawbacks and hidden dangers in such an army system.

But these are not things for Joseph to think about, because all he has to solve now is the problem of building his own private army. Considering the poor discipline of the local army within the empire, he decided to let go of this new army and experiment with it. In addition to establishing a strict military system and management, it is also very necessary for these ragtag armies of feudal society to receive regular military ideological education.

So José made a bold decision: to teach these new troops to read, and then teach them some military knowledge to improve the quality of this private army!

You must know that these recruits are all ordinary poor people, and naturally they are illiterate, but since Joseph is determined to improve the quality of these guys, he can't let himself bring a group of mud legs to fight, right? Of course, it is certainly not necessary for the whole army to popularize literacy, so he chose the target of the newly selected batch of low-ranking officers.

Among the 10,000 recruits, Jose was divided into three main armies of the banner regiments, and although each regiment had a certain number of logistics battalions, Joseph still drew 1,000 men as the cavalry battalion of the private army. The thousand men were made up of slave warriors and recruits, and were their supreme commanders, equivalent in nature to Joseph's guards.

Among these 10,000 people, there were about 200 recruit captains, as well as more than a dozen flag regiment commanders, battalion officers and other middle and low-level officers, and they were the target of Jose's military reform.

So a month after the establishment of this new army, Jose found more than a dozen scholars from Boulder Town, these people were roughly equivalent to the kind of down-and-out scholars that Jose knew, because they were not knowledgeable, so they naturally couldn't find any good errands.

If it is a well-known university scholar, most of them will be favored by those aristocratic families, and then invite the younger generation of the family to come home. But for these ordinary scholars, they can only do some jobs such as bookkeepers, and the children of the real poor families must not be able to afford to go to school, so even if there are some literate guys in the village, most of them will be concentrated in large places such as towns or counties.

So Jose quickly found more than a dozen of these scholars in Boulder Town, and invited them into the barracks, and it was his duty to teach these low-ranking officers to read. At the same time, Chaseer stipulated that the battalion officers and those above them had to learn to read and write, while the ordinary lowest-ranking officers were selected according to their learning progress. While teaching these junior officers to study, Joseph also gave these guys a so-called "military class", and the main teachers were the two generals Gould and Aloke.

At Joseph's request, the two generals explained some of the most famous military battles in the history of the empire, and then popularized some military knowledge. This kind of quasi-practical course naturally piqued the interest of many junior officers, and listening to the two generals personally talk about the battles they had participated in was something that these recruits longed for.

Secondly, it means that the military regulations and military discipline are strictly enforced, according to the original army establishment of the Bright Empire, ten people are a small team, and there is a squad leader, which is considered the lowest-ranking officer. Then there is a brigade of 50 people, with a team leader, also known as a team officer, and five brigades as a battalion with a total of 300 people, and two chief and deputy battalion officers. Further up is the flag regiment, the ten battalions are a flag regiment, and the chief and deputy flag regiments are set up, and there are a total of 3,000 people in a flag regiment.

Of course, these are infantry military systems, and the cavalry system is roughly the same as that of infantry, but cavalry tends to be smaller in number than infantry of the same rank because of the difference in troops. For example, in the cavalry battalion here in the northwest, 2,000 cavalry is the strength of a flag regiment, so the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry in the hands of the Northwest Army has far exceeded the specifications of the "cavalry division", but because of the sensitive reasons of the Northwest Army, the cavalry that has reached the corps is still called a "division" in name!

After figuring this out, after retaining the original military system, Joseph reorganized his three banner regiments of infantry and a thousand cavalry. Then, in order to establish strict military discipline, he also deliberately issued a decree within the private army, in short, the "joint sitting law"!

This system is also simple, roughly borrowing from the real-world system of continuous sitting, that is, in addition to strictly dividing these recruits into their own squads, brigades, battalions and flag regiments. It also stipulates that if any soldier in the squad violates the military order, then one person violates the law and makes a mistake, and all ten members of the squad will be punished if they do not report it! If the squad makes a mistake and the other squad does not report it, the other squad will also be punished!

In addition to the daily violations of rules and disciplines, Jose has a decree for this private army to go to the battlefield!

The decree stipulates that, first, at the time of battle, if the squad leader retreats with the squad, the squad leader shall be killed;

If the officer of the team retreats with the brigade, the officer shall be killed;

The Commander of the Flag Regiment and the retreaters of the Banner Regiment will kill the Commander of the Flag Regiment!

Second, when the battle is imminent, if the commander of the flag regiment does not retreat, but all the officers and men of the army retreat, so that the commander of the flag regiment is killed, the battalion officer to which the commander of the flag regiment belongs is killed;

If the battalion officer does not retreat, but all the officers and men retreat, so that the battalion officer is killed, the battalion officer's team officer will be killed;

If the officer does not retreat, but all the officers and men retreat, so that the officer dies, the squad leader to which the officer belongs is killed;

If the squad leader does not retreat, and the squad of ten people retreats, so that the squad leader is killed, all the soldiers in the squad will be killed!

Third, when the battle is about to be fought, the officer who retreats first regardless of the safety of the soldier will be killed! The soldier who retreats first regardless of the safety of the officer will be killed by the rear team!

As soon as these murderous decrees were drafted, even Joseph himself was a little hesitant, although he knew the truth of Ci Bu in charge of the army, but if he really wanted him to implement it, he always had some worries in his heart.

So before this decree was issued, he approached Alok and Gould to discuss the implementation of the decree together. It was fine for these two people to see other military decrees, but when these two generals saw this joint decree, they couldn't help but show a little surprise and solemn look on their faces.

Gould was stunned for a long time, and then stared directly at him and said: "Good girl, Boss Jose, your decree is extremely powerful, if such a decree is implemented, then the discipline of the entire army may be ranked first in the whole continent!"
