0298 Military Reform (3rd Update)

When Xian Yun saw the weapons and armor that Wen Yi gave her, her mouth couldn't help but open wide.

Originally, she thought that the so-called 100 people were equipped with 100 knives or spears or the like, but she never expected that there would be so many.

Luxury, too extravagant.

At this time, she recalled the Tang army she had seen in Luzon, and the configuration seemed to be very luxurious.

At that time, she thought that it was the elite of the elite who would be like this, and she didn't pay too much attention to it while envying it, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

She said in disbelief: "This is the equipment of a hundred people? ”

Wen Yi said lazily: "Yes, what, is it too much?" Then I'll take some back. ”

Xian Yun knew that he was teasing himself, but he hurriedly said: "No more, no more, not much at all." ”

Then he said incredulously: "There are so many, are all your Tang country's troops like this?" ”

Wen Yi said: "This is the standard configuration of ordinary soldiers. ”

"Sss Xian Yun couldn't help but gasp, extravagant, too extravagant.

It was the first time she had heard that an ordinary soldier was going to wear so much equipment.

A set of iron-inlaid armor, a goose feather knife, a horizontal knife, and five javelins.

Because it is a hundred-man team, there is also special equipment, ten strong bows, twenty shields, and twenty spears.

This is the equipment of a hundred-man team, and it is more than enough to arm five hundred people.

If all the armies of the Tang Kingdom were in this configuration, then she would not dare to imagine the combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the richest country in the world, that is, the trench.

She felt that she was too petty, as long as she had a 100-man team's weapons, if she wanted more......

Of course, she just thinks about it, and she doesn't really do it.

She knows very well that she can't be insatiable.

Originally, she was worried about how much of a 100-man team could play, but now she is completely relieved, and this equipment can be completely used as one as ten.

Even if the hundred-man team is not enough, with these weapons, it can be expanded to three hundred or even five hundred people at will.

Because he was going to have a child, Wen Yi stayed for two more days and enjoyed the unprecedented considerate service of his little lover.

It wasn't until the news from China asked him to go back that he still couldn't get enough of embarking on the road back.

Back in Mengqi City, except for Mei Lan, Zhuju and the four daughters who said a few sour words, everyone else pretended not to know anything.

In fact, it was not a big deal for everyone to invite him back, mainly because the lord of a country had been away from home for too long, and there were many things waiting for him to sign and seal.

But it can't be said that there is nothing at all, and he still needs to preside over the whole process of the military restructuring.

"There are twelve ranks of military ranks: non-commissioned officer, non-commissioned officer major, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, general, marshal."

"Non-commissioned officers only have stars without bars, lieutenants have one bar, one star is a second lieutenant, two stars are lieutenants, three stars are second lieutenants, and colonels are two bars......"

"The general is represented by a crossed sword and a star, which is clear at a glance...... The rank is sewn prominently on the neckline, and you can tell the rank at a glance. ”

"In the same military sequence, the size is divided by position, and the same position is divided by rank. Not the same army sequence, divided by rank. ”

"The previous military system will bring a lot of inconveniences, such as he is the commander of the naval division, he is the commander of the cavalry battalion, the two sides are not subordinate to each other, and the regiment commander cannot directly give orders to the battalion commander in case of emergencies."

"A lot of civilian officers, such as officers at the General Staff Headquarters, logistics officers, ......"

"In the past, their administrative ranks and positions were not very clear, especially compared with the generals who led the troops, it seemed very confusing."

"The new military system can solve these problems, and whoever has a higher rank and who is bigger will listen to whomever he wants."

Everyone thought it was strange at first, but after thinking about it, they saw the excellence in it.

It was really feasible, and it was passed.

"From now on, there will be 12 people in a squad, 36 people in a platoon, and 36 people in a platoon, and a company will be composed of three platoons, including the company commander's deputy company commander's cooking class, a total of 120 people."

"Five companies formed a battalion, six hundred men; One regiment has three battalions, including the health team, the staff office, and logistics management personnel, a total of 2,000 people. ”

"A brigade has two regiments under its jurisdiction, including guards, staff offices, civilian military attachΓ©s, logistics personnel, etc., a total of 5,000 people."

"In the future, the brigade will be the highest unit of our standing army...... In peacetime, the army is stationed in various places in the form of brigades. ”

"If necessary, different brigades will be transferred from various places to temporarily form divisions and armies for operations. Therefore, divisions and armies are temporary institutions and are not permanent. ”

This point Wenyi borrowed from the Tang Dynasty's Zhechongfu system, which ranged from 4,000 to 6,000 and was stationed in various places.

When necessary, different Zhichong Prefectures were dispatched to form a large army, and the battle was led by a general who temporarily accepted his order.

The advantage of this is to avoid the generals from becoming bigger, and the disadvantage is that it will create a situation where the generals do not know the soldiers and the soldiers do not know the generals.

However, there is no perfect system in the world, and Wen Yi can only maintain the combat effectiveness of these brigades at a level as much as possible by formulating unified training standards.

In the later stage, it is natural to strengthen supervision to avoid people messing around.

"In general, the brigade commander is a major general, the regiment commander is a colonel-lieutenant colonel, and the battalion commander is a major lieutenant colonel...... Potential soldiers can be promoted to non-commissioned officer non-commissioned officer and sergeant major, serving as squad leader and deputy squad leader......"

"Marshal is an honorary title, and no ...... will be awarded unless he has made a significant contribution"

It can be said that this system was formulated by Wenyi with reference to the most common military systems in ancient and modern China and abroad, combined with the current actual situation.

Don't think that 'common' is not good, on the contrary, the more common the system, the better, and the applicability of the uncommon is not so high.

Moreover, this military system also reserves an upgrade window for the future firearms era, and when the firearms era comes, the reform and upgrading can be completed with a faster speed and the lowest cost.

Overall, the system is well received by the majority of people.

The next thing is the matter of promotion, so many people in the army want to be promoted, but they have to be carefully considered. Senior officers, in particular, should be even more cautious.

After rounds of negotiations, the final list was finalized.

The list of ten brigade commanders is: Ma Yibai, Li Zhong, Liu Meng, Yue Shan, Shi Kangdang, Daniel Zhang, Wu Heng, Wang An, Lin Xingcan, and Lu Yan.

Many of them were exceptionally promoted, such as Lu Yan, Lin Xingzhu, and Wang An.

The rest of the outstanding performers were also promoted, such as Wenmu, Zhang Jie and others were promoted to regiment commanders, and Lu Yan's two fellow townsmen, Liu Mao and Yang Dun, were also promoted to battalion commanders.

It can be said that most of the people in the whole army have been promoted, but there is no way, the Tang Army has suddenly expanded to 50,000 in the past two years, and the shortage of officers is too large, so they can only be promoted exceptionally.

Of course, this will have a negative effect, and the combat effectiveness will plummet. But fortunately, there was no foreign invasion of Tang Guo overseas, and there was enough time to run in.

Otherwise, Wen Yi would not have made such a big move to carry out reform and expand the army.
