At a time when the battle of Tonglu Mountain in the south was in full swing, Rongyi, who was far away in Hojing, finally put forward a complete set of strategies for the whole army after more than a month of on-the-spot verification and closed-door thinking. Specifically, the actual control of the Hojing Dynasty was actually a military-related government plan to purge the Western Sixth Division and the Chengzhou Eighth Division, which were directly under the royal family.

After a long talk, Zhao Bohu was greatly surprised by Rongyi's military and political purge strategy. The root of the surprise was that this strategy was so grand and detailed that Zhao Bohu could not imagine the consequences of its implementation.

According to the Zhou system, the military administration of Wangji, like other vassal states, has always been the special department of the Sima Mansion, and the recruitment of soldiers, the construction of fortresses, the construction of weapons, the planning of clothes and armor, and the weight of food and salary all belong to the Sima Mansion. The general is only in charge of the battle.

Since military-related government affairs are in fact a special kind of government affairs, the Sima Mansion has always been under the dual jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion. Later, there were many wars, and in fact an unwritten tradition was formed: the General's Mansion actually governed the Sima Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion only tried its best to fulfill its request in accordance with the "letter" of the Sima Mansion approved by the General's Office.

At present, Kui Duoyou of the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou and Yu Zhong of the Sixth Division of the West are both powerful famous generals of Weihe, Rong Yi brought this volume of the strategy to him without consulting them, no matter how he understood the far-sightedness of this volume of strategy in his heart, Zhao Bohu had a kind of unhappiness that could not be concealed.

The strategy put forward by Rong Yi is to rebuild the military and political system in three years. There are 10 major points:

First, the recruitment of soldiers is institutionalized, and the levy is carried out every two years, and the number is determined according to the population of each locality.

Second, the construction and repair of the fortified city defense will be attributed to the county, and the address specifications will be determined together.

Third, the weapon creates a unified component size, so that the parts of the battlefield weapon can be replaced with each other.

Fourth, the way of making armor is diversified, and skilled craftsmen are allowed to make armor to support conscription.

Fifth, military horses are mainly bought horses, supplemented by horse breeding. Guanzhong banned the opening of horse farms to ensure the cultivation of the hinterland of Wangji.

Sixth, the stable area of the Chengzhou area outside the Hangu Pass was selected to build an outer warehouse, so as to facilitate the Chengzhou Eighth Division to obtain grain nearby.

Seventh, the standing chariots and horses of the baggage battalions should be dismissed, and in the future, the chariots and horses will be requisitioned and issued, and the chariots and horses will return to civilian cultivation if there is no war.

Eighth, all military utensils can be ordered from the merchant at the same time to make up for the shortage of Sima's workshop.

Ninth, the rewards of military merit and the consolation of the bereaved families of martyrs are all handed over to the local government offices for implementation, and the Sima Mansion only investigates according to the book.

Tenth, the mansion of General Gao Jue of Hojing and Luoyi is regarded as an official office, and they are all handed over to the Inner History Office according to the jurisdiction of official property.

Densely written all over three pieces of parchment, each with its own implementation rules, Zhao Bohu, who has always been cautious, frowned, and pondered for a long time, and then commented: "Such a plan, I'm afraid it will turn the world upside down!" Don't say three years, I'm afraid that it won't be smooth in ten years, the king is eager to govern and strengthen the army, don't miss a big thing!"

Rong Yi smiled indifferently: "The Prime Minister has been in a high position for a long time, and he is too conservative and cautious. In Rong Yi's view, as long as this matter is handled by a group of capable officials, it will definitely be successful in three years."

"Did that Taifu discuss with the two generals?"

Rong Yi shook his head, "I'll come and discuss with Zhao Xiang first. If it is feasible, it will be submitted to the Great Dynasty for discussion, and then the officials will be sent to the two battalions and the Sima Mansion to carry out each item."

"Why? Taifu wants to be a fait accompli, cut first and then play?" Zhao Bohu was quite angry.

"The two generals are far apart, and if there is a stalemate, it will not be beautiful. First discuss with Zhao Xiang, I want to ask Xiangguo to tell the truth, such a system has to be implemented successfully, what are the advantages and disadvantages of strengthening the army in the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Five

"It's too hard." Zhao Bohu's face softened slightly: "In all fairness, if it is implemented, it will definitely succeed."

"In this case, the summoning minister and the king can rest assured that after three years, you will be guaranteed to have enough soldiers and food, and you will never be left and right again!"

"But the old Sima is old, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this matter! What should I do?"

"Yi, this Taifu is also idle, and he can also serve as the deputy Sima to promote this matter."

"You ------" Zhao Bohu was stunned.

Rong Yi smiled and got up and bowed leisurely, Zhaobo

The tiger was stunned.

Ten days later, Zhou Li's Wang Ji Hu's royal book has been issued. not only fully supported Rong Yi's strategy of reorganizing the army, but also gave him a gift to the old Sima to return to his hometown and be honored, and Rong Yi officially assumed the post of Sima.

Rong Yi deeply felt the importance of Wang En, and immediately got busy with all his body and mind.

The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was created in the era of King Wu and was quite practical and effective, but compared with the strategy proposed by Rong Yi, the defects of the original military system were immediately felt. For example, the Great Zhou Dynasty has always only recruited soldiers under three situations: one is before the Great War, the other is when the army is seriously reduced, and the other is when the government and the opposition want to take revenge after the defeat (or Lynx, or Chu Man). Such conscription, due to the limited time for soldiers to enter the camp for training, could not be immediately integrated with the division of the battle formation.

In order to build up their combat strength as quickly as possible, the tribes with a tradition of conquest often recruited all adult men, while the nomadic fishing and hunting groups in the remote mountain villages often did not recruit at all. After a long time, the local male population in Guanzhong has always been in short supply, forming a void in the heart of "the fields are not strong, the families are old and young, the city has many women, and the workers are weak and weak".

If the method of honoring and destroying the army is adopted, the conscription is customized every year according to the population of each place, not only the population of the army is greatly expanded and the army is continuously replenished, and the amount is not large each time, so that the training of recruits can be carried out calmly by making full use of the time without war. The biggest benefit is that the population of the old Zhou tribe in Guanzhong can gradually recover, and Wang Ji's vitality is gradually full.

For example, weapon building has always been done by government workshops and military camp workshops, and the specifications of various weapons are completely determined by the tradition of engineers. There are always various differences in the length and weight of the knight's sword and the materials used. The length of the foot is also different, the same is a wooden pole, the selection of wood is different, and there is no unified scale of length and thickness. In particular, large weapons such as crossbow machines, plugged knife carts, large ladders, etc., although the parts are generally the same, but because of their small differences, it is impossible to use them universally.

Among them, the crossbow machine uses the largest consumption of arrowhead arrows, but dozens of workshops to build arrows belong to ironwork, and the workshops that make arrows belong to carpentry, and they also have their own sizes, and the difference is not big at first glance, but the crossbow machine is often not matched with the whole arrow. In every big battle, the military camp must be busy screening, carefully selecting, and placing the matching crossbow long arrows one by one, otherwise it will lead to defeat at a critical moment.

According to the method of honor, the specifications and sizes of all weapon parts and material standards are promulgated by the system for all workshops, and the names of the officials and engineers in charge are engraved on the weapon parts, but if there is a discrepancy, it can be investigated and dealt with immediately. If such a system of weapon parts and components of uniform size and materials is implemented, there will undoubtedly be a huge leap forward in the combat power of the Zhou army.
