Chapter 409: The Initial Reform of the Army
In the Juyi Hall, whether it is the veteran of Chaojiazhuang or the new defector. Regardless of whether it is a civil servant or a military general, everyone waves and shouts, and the crowd is indignant. The Teng brothers who came from Jinghu, Liu Yuan and others opened their throats and shouted.
What the black man said is the Tao, and it is not a lie at first glance.
Chao Gai realized the importance of heirs, and he may not care much about it, but in the eyes of these ancients, it is very important to have a successor.
A military general with a simple mind and well-developed limbs is easy to say, and the literati will think more. In the past, Li Qingwan talked about this, and since then she has entered the grave of love.
Chao Gai could only smile wryly and wave to everyone in the audience to signal quiet. He got up again and helped his wife to sit down, but was met with a low murmur from the women.
"We heard it outside, and you weren't going to let us come."
"That is, we can't see people? Or how? ”
"Oh, I have a big belly, I come and go, isn't it afraid of trouble!" Chao Gai made an excuse to prevaricate and return to the throne.
He glanced at everyone: "Brothers, the main purpose of convening you this time is a military meeting, which involves the improvement and reform of the military system. Of course, first ask Zhu Wu and Zhu Junshi to read out the appointments of several new heroes. ”
The generals in the audience straightened up, and many people looked at Hu Yanqing and others. The parties were even more expectant, and their faces were more or less excited.
"First of all, the heroes who defected this time are outstanding, and all of them have entered the field army." The Divine Commander smiled and stood up, took out the note from his cuff and read it.
"The color-eating tiger Teng Ji, the formation of the Ninth Infantry Army, served as the chief general, the red-bearded tiger Pan Zhong, and the Bashan Xiong Liu Yuan served as the deputy general.
Xiashan Tiger Teng Hu, served as the deputy general of the First Cavalry Army.
The iron cable crossed the river and Hu Yanqing formed the Eighth Army of the Navy and served as the main general. The flying fork is too powerful, and the Heavenly Demon Monarch is the deputy general of the world.
The newly formed naval army, infantry, and other generals need to give support to the veterans, and form the team as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness, and must not be hidden. ”
"Hahaha, military advisor, don't worry, the Sprinkle family will coordinate it." The flower monk Lu Zhishen laughed heartily, and waved sideways at Teng Ji and the others. There is no doubt that there are three more fierce generals in the infantry.
On the other side, Li Jun, the mixed sea dragon in the naval army area, and Ruan Xiaoqi, the living Yan Luo, did the same, waving their hands to Hu Yanqing, Zhu Neng, and Wen Shichong. Most of the cavalry were stationed outside, and although the generals were few, their momentum was not weak at all.
Chao Gai pressed his hand down, signaling quiet, and the generals stopped the noise.
When there was no noise, Chao Gai looked at everyone with a serious and solemn expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, the military reform has been preliminarily completed, but the implementation needs to be gradual and gradual, so as to avoid putting it in place at once and leaving the armies without a period of adaptation." Wait until the beginning of next spring to officially announce the reform, of course, before that, I will first talk about the direction of the reform of the army, and everyone should be prepared. ”
At this moment, everyone held their heads high and listened carefully. Including Huazi, Hu Sanniang, and Yelu Talibi, the three female generals also became serious.
"The original number of 8,000 soldiers remained the same, but it had to be regularized. The army has set up guard battalions, logistics battalions, reconnaissance brigades, medical brigades, etc. In this way, counting 8,000 soldiers, there are tens of thousands of soldiers. ”
"Brother, this guard battalion, logistics battalion?" Lu Zhishen took the lead in asking questions.
"Guard battalion, forget it, I'll talk about the type of establishment and the main responsible aspects first." Chao Gai wanted to answer the master's words, but when he thought about it, the medical soldiers belonged to the later generation system, and most of the people present did not understand, so they simply explained.
The guard battalion is the most elite soldier in the whole army, and the salary is relatively high. Responsible for protecting the safety of the generals, and charging into battle to gnaw hard bones.
The logistics battalion, also known as the gang head army, as the name suggests, is to transport the team's supplies, be responsible for cooking, and ensure logistics supplies. It is determined by the monthly competition in the army, and the assessment of discipline. The battalion at the bottom of the rankings is in charge. In other words, excluding the soldiers, it is an elite, a strange army.
The reconnaissance brigade is composed of elites from both the flying battalion and the restaurant system, with a number of 300 and more than 10 trained dogs and carrier pigeons. It is divided into a variety of duties such as mounted detectives, foot detectives, intelligence transmission, and assassination.
Medical brigade, more than 300 people. It is composed of war doctors and nurses trained by Chaojiazhuang. Specifically for the treatment of warriors or horses to avoid non-combat attrition.
Each army also set up a military justice department, with 100 people, to supervise and restrain the discipline of officers and men. battlefield meritorious performance, etc. It is only accountable to the Department of Military Administration. The military band, the flag team, the secretary's office, the communication room, etc., add up to three or two hundred people, with a clear division of labor and easy management.
In addition, in order to attack the city, the infantry will form a siege battalion, which is formed by the backbone of the Shenji Army. Equipped with catapults and ladders.
At the beginning of its establishment, the Chao family army was perfected step by step. Such as the number of personnel, the combination of troops. Chao Gai is also paving the way for all kinds of preparations. Chaojiazhuang built a school, trained military doctors, raised carrier pigeons, raised dogs and other measures.
Chao Gai comes from later generations, and some concepts are too advanced to fit the current era. But there is a lot to learn from, perfected within the framework of the Song Dynasty army. This is easier to accept and more efficient on the march.
Chaojiazhuang is not a bandit cottage, so it must be reformed, improved and regularized.
Chao Gai talked about the adjustment of the army and how to implement it in one breath.
Those present are more or less militarily talented, and naturally appreciate the advantages of the coordination of various arms and a clear division of labor. Let the field army and garrison generals present be excited. As long as the military system is perfected in accordance with this, the control force can be effectively strengthened, and a healthy competitive relationship can be formed among the battalions.
"Hahaha!" Lu Zhishen laughed, touched his bald head, and put forward his opinion: "Brother, the Sprinkle family thinks that it is useless to set up one of several battalions. ”
"Yes, such a few battalions are good for commanding the army." The leopard head Lin Chong, the golden gunner Xu Ning and other generals from the professional class echoed one after another.
"Master, that's a good idea!" Chao Gai nodded in agreement, and then added: "Du Yuhou is not in line with the Chao family army system, so it is better to change to deputy commander." For promotion from among the officers who are brave and good at fighting or have brains in the army, the specific matters are decided by the chief general and deputy general, and reported to the command for approval. ”
The deputy commander was appointed, and Chao Gai was ready to delegate power to the commander-in-chief of the First Army. After all, the size of the army is getting bigger and bigger, similar to the battalion commander, the appointment and dismissal of the first-class officer is decided by the generals of each army, and the same is true for the position of deputy commander now. The hero who defected later, with good martial arts, is the deputy commander.
However, his move to decentralize power.
Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Xu Ning and other generals were full of smiles and excitement. As a commander of the army, there is no greater sense of accomplishment than having the trust of the Lord.
Chao Gai is undoubtedly this kind of person with a bold mind.
Drinking Ma Chuan, Baoqian Mountain, Erlong Mountain, which mountain is not tens of thousands of military horses have never interfered? This is something that most people present see in their eyes and feel in their hearts. It is better for a person to die for a confidant!
Chao Gai didn't think about this, thinking that under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, he nodded with a smile: "By the way, you can hold individual competitions or team competitions in the army, so as to choose the top ranked as the deputy commander." Every year, there is an all-army competition, with the participation of water, foot, cavalry, and garrison troops, and the good performance of individuals or teams will focus on training. ”
This proposal immediately aroused continuous calls from below.
"Hahaha, this method is good, my brother is wise, and the sons will scream."
"That is, if you eat and drink well every day, you should exercise."
"After the meeting ended, I prepared for the event, and just selected the elite to form a guard battalion."
"Yes, Tie Niu is smart this time!"
"Yo, it's you? Jiao Da, who are you talking about? ”
……
The hall was full of commotion, laughter, and ridicule. The black whirlwind Li Kui and the faceless Jiao Ting may be what you look at in the original trajectory, what are you looking at, the enemies who are fighting, they must have teased a few words during this time, and now they are looking at each other, full of gunpowder.
Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Tali also got together to discuss the matter. thinks that Chao Gai's proposal is very good, and the army only obeys the strong.
In short, individual and team competitions will soon be a wave.
Chao Gai waved the silence in the hall again, and his face became extremely serious: "Xiao, Xu two military divisions take the lead in establishing an officer training class. Wang Jiaotou, Lin Jiaotou, and even I will teach, and generals or potential officers in the army will come to train and study. It's like going to the academy to learn from yourself, and there's no excuse. Only those who pass the test can complete the United Army. ”
These words immediately made the generals below look different, and most of them were happy, because not to mention Chao Gai's personal teaching, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army is also an expert, familiar with the art of war and strategy, and has benefited immensely from learning.
Of course, there are also bitter gourd faces, such as the black whirlwind Li Kui, the mountain splitting force and other reckless men, and even the new joiners, Pan Zhong has a sad face. They don't know a few words, they have been going to school recently, and now they have to take training classes again. Although I understand that it is all good for myself, it is always a little uncomfortable.
"You have no excuse for the officer training class, you must be there." Chao Gai took in the expressions of the people below, and there was no room for negotiation.
He has long discovered the shortcomings of army generals, who are born with mud legs and have different abilities. It is impossible for any single person to command thousands of armies and horses, march and fight, attack cities and plunder land, and do not blindly fight and rush.
It's okay to command 35,000 people, but any more will reach the limit.
For example, the black whirlwind Li Kui's death army is only 3,000 people, because he can't manage the army at all, and if there are too many people, they will be chaotic. From the first 500 to 1,000, 2,000, this is a sign of slow progress.
Therefore, Chao Gai should let these generals learn systematically, and those who can progress will be reused in the future. If you still stagnate, sooner or later you will be eliminated. He didn't want to follow his brother out, so he had to use tough means.
Next, Chao Gai discussed with everyone the changes in the army. For example, the style of military uniforms is uniform, but the color changes, the cavalry is fire red, the navy is water blue, the infantry is earthy yellow, and the medical soldiers have red crosses on a white background on their arms. The flags of each army are supervised according to the surnames of the generals, and the deputy generals also have their own banners......
These adjustments in the army were discussed until someone came to report. said that the banquet was properly arranged, and Zhu Wu decisively ordered it to be brought up and lined up with a full table.
Chao Gai looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas with all the colors and flavors, and asked people to prepare a copy to send to the generals sitting in Chaojiazhuang, so that he and the brothers of the family had a good time.
