Chapter 189: Four Divisions and Twelve Rooms

In addition to this, there are also various reforms for the army outside the forbidden army.

The first thing to admit is that there is a shortage of guards.

That is to say, the full strength of the guard is more than 5,600 people, and even if there is war damage, the guard must recruit troops from the military households to reach the state of full strength.

But in reality, almost no guards are fully staffed. The lack of numbers is more or less.

Now the 600,000 forbidden army has almost exhausted the soldiers who can fight and dare to fight in the guard army, and their bodies are in the best condition.

It is also an objective fact that all vacancies are allowed. At the same time, an order was given. It is not their fault that the guards are responsible for ensuring that they are responsible for defending the territory, that is, that the number of guards is lacking, but they must report the number of people truthfully and make sure that they can defend their cities.

After all, the guards generally live near the city of the guards, and once they encounter a war, they don't care what military households are or not. Men should fight, women should be lucky. and they shall defend their cities to the death.

Otherwise, you will be held accountable. This is not allowed to be sloppy.

Secondly, the management authority of the guard army was delegated to the level of the prefecture.

That is, the guard station must listen to the orders of the local prefect. Generally speaking, it is an order to suppress bandits, quell chaos and so on.

This also established that the Guardskaya Army was already a secondary armed force. It also ensures that the local administration capacity does not require the local officials to recruit the people themselves when they want to use some armed forces.

Of course, even if the magistrate had such authority, he would not normally use it. After all, cross-system command will encounter all kinds of problems, as well as accountability after the fact, and so on.

Most people wouldn't get into this trouble.

It's just a last resort.

There is also the name of Hebei Minzhuang.

After all, the 300,000 army is on the southern front, and for the southern army, it actually does not have an advantage, if you still have to protect the prefectures and counties, one point, it is like sprinkling pepper noodles, Ye Shen does not have much offensive power left.

Therefore, the militia in various parts of Hebei has also become regular.

It was they who determined the establishment of the Hebei militia.

Based on the prefectures, each county has a different establishment according to the size of the city and the number of households. Probably more than 1,000 people, less than 5,000 people, all of them are led by generals in the army.

Obey the management of the general of Zhengnan, and also obey the orders of local magistrates. Of course, if the two conflict, the general of the south will be the first.

If these armies are counted, the army under the command of General Zhengnan exceeded 450,000. In addition, when necessary, the general of Zhengnan can recruit and transfer people through the prefecture and county system.

Naturally, there is no million-strong army. Enough to resist the attack of the Southern Army.

Of course. Beijing has made such a big adjustment. Nature does a lot of things. And this kind of adjustment will not end for a while.

Moreover, the Nanjing side is also making various adjustments, so that now the front is relatively calm, and there will be no problems for a while.

Even the empty areas of northern Henan of the Southern Army did not usher in the attack of the Northern Army. gave Sheng Yong enough time to adjust and coordinate.

600,000 forbidden troops, 100,000 Hebei militia, 100,000 Weisuo troops, if you add the navy, and Qu Liangcai's Japanese vassal army, the Japanese vassal army. The total number of troops on the Beijing side is more than 1.2 million.

Manage such a large army, supply sufficient weapons and logistics, formulate military strategies, and ensure that this large army is used by the imperial court, not by generals at all levels. Such a huge task naturally requires a strong department.

Before this war, the Privy Council was an empty shelf. Now the Privy Council must not be an empty shelf.

The previous Privy Council was just a joint stock company between Zhu Xiongying and He Xi. After all, military matters were discussed between the two. It's settled. The Privy Council is just a passing scene.

But now such decisions are no longer sufficient for military action.

He Xi and Zhu Xiongying also established basic mutual trust, and even if there were differences in personnel, they had to straighten out the system.

So, He Xi and Zhu Xiongying, on the basis of the original Privy Council, established a system of four divisions and twelve rooms of the Privy Council.

The four divisions are naturally the Military Orders Division, the General Staff Division, the Logistics Division, and the Military Selection Division.

The Military Orders Department is responsible for the issuance of military orders. Any order of the Privy Council must be given from the Military Command Department, especially military orders. Arguably the most important department of the Privy Council, stuck at the point. It is used as a counterweight to the privy councillors.

After all, it is not too much to be militarily cautious.

Generally speaking, there are not many things to do in the Military Orders Department, which is nothing more than archiving all military orders, reviewing the orders of the Privy Council, and if they do not meet the requirements, they can request a meeting to be re-discussed. Of course, generally speaking, when a major order is issued, the Military Orders Department must be present at the meeting.

The task of the General Staff Division is to connect with the staff officers of the armies below. The staff system is relatively independent. It is also one of the means to check and balance the commanders of various armies. The staff officers below have direct access to the General Staff Division.

After all, in today's military system, once there is a change in the generals below, it is absolutely impossible for them to hide from their staff officers.

It is also rich in the task of developing major military plans.

Logistics Division, needless to say. Responsible for logistics.

As for the Martial Election Division, it is actually the Privy Council's ministry. Responsible for personnel issues. The appointment of generals at all levels is discussed by the Armed Forces Division. Even some of the surplus civil and military personnel appointments must be consulted with the Privy Council on the part of the ministry. The one who docked was the people of the Wu Xuan Division.

And the twelve rooms refer to the subordinates of the four divisions. However, many houses are directly connected to several divisions, and they are not subordinate to a certain division.

The first is the military intelligence room.

In charge of the military situation in various places, not only divided part of the duties and powers of Jinyiwei, but also made military maps. Defend against espionage missions in the military. Of course, there is also the task of preventing rebellion in the army, but it is difficult to talk about this matter directly.

The Judge Advocate General's Office, which is responsible for military law. Directly connect with the military judges at all levels below, and organize the trial of criminal officers. and a review of all cases disposed of by the pre-military courts.

Except in wartime, generals have no power to deal with junior officers directly under military law. Even in wartime, after the military law is disposed of, it must be archived. The Judge Advocate General's Office will review it.

The military industrial room, which is directly responsible for the military industry, directly manages certain factories. Or establish contact with certain factories that produce ordnance, and if necessary, force them to produce the materials that the army needs.

The military storage room is the one that manages the warehouse. Including but not limited to ordnance, war horses, food, clothing, coal, etc. All military supplies are in it, and it shoulders a certain transportation task.

Generally speaking, when the military storage room receives an order from the logistics department, it will order a certain army and a certain unit to go to a certain warehouse to receive supplies. However, transportation from various places to warehouses can certainly allow the civilian sector to bear a considerable part, and it is also possible to requisition the baggage team of a certain army to undertake the transportation task.

But generally inconvenient. So under the military storage room, there is a special transport army.

By the way, the military storage room is also connected with the Ministry of Communications, which is responsible for military transportation issues.

It is one of the departments most closely related to the logistics department.

The training room, which He Xili put forward against public opinion. It's about standardizing training. Formulate infantry drill codes, so that the army has the same standards, and always improve to keep pace with the times.

Of course, this is not so much a training room as an infantry room, for the simple reason that it is simple.

If one room is responsible for all the training of the army, this room can be directly promoted to the division. Perhaps it can be said that the Department of Military Training.

However, due to the need for checks and balances of power, the generals of the regiments and battalions below do not want to have a behemoth military training department to point fingers at them. After all, it's okay to fight a war now, if there is no war, training is an important task for the generals below.

Therefore, at the suggestion of these people, the Military Training Department was not established, and the training of various branches of the army was assigned to each room.

The cavalry room, the artillery room, the navy room, are all products of this situation. However, they are also responsible for some affairs of the various arms, not just training.

The cavalry room, as a specialized branch of the cavalry, has a lot of things to deal with, especially the problem of horses, which is simply not too much, and the cavalry room is not so much riding

The barracks, rather than the military stables, are where many things are managed by horses.

The artillery room, the same as the cavalry room. The artillery room is a department specially responsible for artillery, and the artillery room is mainly responsible for two parts, one is the development of artillery, and the other part is the training of artillery personnel.
