Chapter 124: Guo Rong's Thought on the Construction of the New Army
Yan Qing's powerful support group originally had nothing to do with Guo Rong.
After the war, because he was worried about the so-called three media and six hires, Guo Rong also specifically inquired with Wei Guanzhi.
As a result, Wei Guanzhi told Guo Rong very calmly that the process of marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty is not much different from that of the people, but because of the identity of the princess, the so-called Nacai, Naji, etc. are all formalities, and there is no need to worry about the horse at all.
The only point is that the Tang Emperor's daughters have always had a rich dowry, and correspondingly, Guo Rong should also pay a lot of dowry.
However, due to well-known reasons, Guo Rong now lives either in the barracks of the Forbidden Garden or in the Xingqing Palace.
To be precise, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all royal, and in essence, he is a poor egg who can't take out a penny, and the emperor will most likely not let Guo Rong prepare any dowry.
Although Princess Shang of the Tang Dynasty is not a loss-making business, the specific details are also very cumbersome normally, and now Yan Qing has such a support group with the Tang Dynasty as the team.
For these hollowing out people, it is estimated that even the house, the cook, the maid and the maid are ready for him, which can greatly reduce Guo Rong's burden...
Regarding the issue of the big wedding, Wei Guanzhi made a conclusion to Guo Rong at that time, he only needed to form a new army with peace of mind, and wait for the emperor to arrange the time and be happy with the princess.
Wei Guanzhi said it, Guo Rong believed it, coupled with the issue of forming a new army, Guo Rong, who was in a hurry, really didn't think about the big wedding at all, and then ......
Guo Rong, who was busy with the formation of the new army and the recruitment of soldiers, was suddenly called to Xingqing Palace by the Emperor Taishang, and saw Zhang Taicheng at the door of the Qinzheng Building with a team of Shence troops guarding the door with perseverance.
"Your Majesty and the Emperor are waiting for you, and the eldest princess is also there!"
"Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty arrives half an hour earlier than you, come in!"
After signing up, Emperor Li Yu and Emperor Li Chun lay down and sat together, like a scene of filial piety and happiness between father and son.
However, Guo Rong's main focus is not on this father and son.
Seeing Yan Qing, who I hadn't seen for several days, dressed in palace clothes and smiling, was in a very good mood.
There is only one point that makes that Guo Rong a little confused, what does it mean to desperately give himself a look, and looking at this look is to make himself smarter?
Before Guo Rong could figure out the precise meaning of Yan Qing's hint, he heard the voice of the kind and pleasant Emperor.
"I heard that you've been working hard for the new army lately!"
"Where the duty lies, Your Majesty trusts, and the minister does not dare to slack off in the slightest!"
"How's it going?"
"The overall framework has been constructed, the ratio of troops, equipment allocation, command system, and tactical battle formation have been drawn up, money and food can be withdrawn at any time, and armor and equipment are also being allocated."
"Considering that His Majesty has positioned this new army as the core force of our Tang Army's field warfare, the ministers and military academies have adjusted it based on the "General Dictionary", with reference to the tactics and tactics of the Anxi Army, and under the guidance of General Fan Xichao and other generals in the army, they have predetermined the situations that may be encountered."
"Oh, a breakthrough in the ratio of forces and tactics? Tell me about it? ”
Li Yu took the initiative to ask about this, and Guo Rong, who was originally a little lacking in confidence because of the difficulty of recruiting soldiers, was instantly relieved.
Although the requirements were a little stricter, resulting in a slow recruitment speed, the military concepts he was exposed to in these aspects were indeed beyond this era.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Yu can conjure a tank after seeing it, nor does it mean that Guo Rong has heard of Desan's blitzkrieg, Maozi's steel torrent, and rabbit's lack of vitality and phobia can be passed on as it is.
What's more, Guo Rong patted his head and relied on the trust given by Li Yu to directly change all the 12,000-strong new army into Mo sword soldiers or all into mounted cavalry.
Guo Rong's approach is to find out the similarities between the existing ideas of the later generations and the Tang Army, and then throw the ideas that belong to the later generations to Li Rui and Yang Xin, who were born and raised in the Tang Military Academy.
Then together with these natives of the Tang Military Academy, we studied how to integrate theory with practice to improve, the most important of which originated from the war a few days ago.
Guo Rong was deeply shocked by this unprecedented field battle between the two Shence armies, and at the same time, Guo Rong noticed that at this stage, the Tang Army, which was mainly recruited, had achieved professionalization, and a side effect of the professionalization of the Tang Army was specialization and subdivision of troops.
Guo Rong knew that the current drill of the Tang Army was left over more than a hundred years ago when the elite government soldiers were the main force of the Tang Army.
On the infantry side, there are heavy infantry, light infantry, and multi-purpose infantry (crossbowmen) in between, and they will fight in the form of line infantry in battle formations with fronts, jumps, and surprise formations.
To be honest, this tactic is already very advanced, but it is not meticulous enough in front of the Tang Army, which has achieved full professionalism after more than a hundred years, and has become a factor restricting the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army.
And to be honest, the way of describing jumping and strange soldiers made Guo Rong extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, Guo Rong decisively threw out the concept of our rabbit military reform, synthetic battalion and synthetic brigade, which can be regarded as a continuation of the military reform left by Li Jing more than 100 years ago.
Although the Tang Army did not have tanks, artillery, or helicopter gunships, the power of the Tang Army's heavy infantry, mounted cavalry, strong bows, crossbows, and eight-ox crossbows in this era was not inferior at all, and the degree of crushing was even more exaggerated.
Sure enough, a few words shocked Li Rui, Yang Xin, Shao Shumin, Meng Qian and other guys who have been in the army for more than 15 years on average.
Now, it's just Guo Rong retelling his thoughts in combination with Li Rui's views.
"Specifically, it is necessary to subdivide the various arms of the armed forces and strengthen the special functions of individual arms,......"
Halfway through hearing this, Li Yan, who was originally in a relaxed state, suddenly tensed up, a few gleams flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to not let Guo Rong continue.
"Plan and then act, yes, the brain is in the right place, and it's really trying, not bad!"
"Qing'er, send someone to summon the few Shence Army and Border Army Military Academy I selected, and at the same time send someone to inform Du Huangshang, Fan Xichao, Gao Chongwen, Li Yu, and Li Guangyan."
"For more details, you can talk about it later when everyone arrives, what is the main problem you are facing now?"
"Now the main thing is to recruit suitable soldiers and excellent generals, because the ministers and subordinates have subdivided the troops, so it has become very difficult to recruit qualified soldiers, if Your Majesty allows the ministers to ...... from the Shence army"
"Everything else is fine, but not the Divine Army!"
"Your Majesty! But ......"
"30,000 Divine Strategy Left Army, 30,000 Divine Strategy Right Army, these 60,000 people are still useful, at least now I can not only give it to you! By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. ”
"Minister, stabbed Lou Zi?"
After finishing speaking, Guo Rong found that he had lost his words again, and stabbing Lou Zi was not a word of this era.
