Chapter 276 Competition Mechanism

Lin Ruofeng planned that after the restructuring was put in place, the 720 battalions of the local garrison army across the country would launch a competitive elimination system. Let them train their own, and starting at the beginning of next year, an all-army exercise and competition will be launched. First in the provinces of the civil war. Battalion by battalion did not wear armor, but only used wooden knives, wooden guns, wooden shields, and wooden arrows to start a battle with the whole army. Anyone who was hit was treated as a casualty and withdrew from the battlefield, and the entire annihilated army was judged to have failed. But defeat is not without a chance, and it is possible to engage in a round-robin battle. From this, it is possible to determine a ranking among the twelve major military regions.

The top three of the 60 garrison battalions of the six garrison armies of each military region will be called the Haw Par garrison battalion, transferred to the border guards, and will receive rich rewards and rewards, and the county garrison will also receive a material reward of 100,000 taels of silver. The fourth and tenth place is the elite garrison battalion, which receives the award, and as the main force of the military region, the county garrison will also have a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. The eleventh and even the sixth from the bottom are called ordinary garrison battalions, and there is no merit in any way. Those who are fifth to second to last are called inferior garrison battalions, and all those in inferior battalions who have official ranks should be stripped of their shirts and put on insulting signs to parade through the streets of at least ten cities in each of the counties under the military region for one day, and their official rank will be downgraded by one level, and the garrison of that county will also be severely punished with 10,000 taels of silver.

In the jurisdiction of its military region, the first-to-last garrison battalion, called the waste wood garrison battalion, will be given the most severe punishment for disbandment, Dazhao has 7.2 million garrison troops, and it is not inferior to these 12 10,000 waste wood garrison battalions. In addition, the two commanders and deputy commanders of his battalion were whipped 10 times a day at the entrance of the city. For a total of ten days, and organized the people to line up and scold, and each time they scolded, they could get 100 yuan. And the money came from the battalion commander's house. The rest of the officers paraded through the streets for 10 days. The entire battalion was also to undergo a one-month labor camp before it was disbanded. Cleaning up garbage and sanitation for the people in the garrison area, repairing houses and water conservancy, and getting money out of the garrison, if a soldier or officer resists, he will be killed. In addition, the garrison of the county will also be severely punished with 10,000 silver, and will be responsible for the original equipment and weapons barracks. The cost of re-assembling a new garrison battalion is also out of the garrison.

At the same time, the border guards will also organize similar competitions and assessments, and the establishment of the border guards is a combat army of 300,000 troops, and the 12 million border guards have a total of 40 combat armies, and if the establishment of a battalion of 10,000 people is calculated, that is, there are 1,200 battalions, and each army counts 30 battalions.

Similarly, the top three of each army will be determined among the combat armies, which will be called the Haw Par Combat Battalion. All officers below the command level of the battalion will be promoted to one rank, and the entire Haw Par Combat Battalion will also receive a generous reward of 50,000 taels. The fourth and tenth places are the elite combat battalions. Receiving the commendation, as the main force of the combat army, the combat elite battalion will also have a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. The eleventh and even the fourth from the bottom are called ordinary combat battalions and are not rewarded in any way. All officers of the inferior battalion, including the chief and deputy commanders, should strip off their shirts and hang insulting signs in each combat battalion to parade through the streets for one day, and each of them will be demoted by one level in rank, and the inferior combat battalion will also be severely punished with 10,000 taels of silver.

In the jurisdiction of its combat army, the combat battalion ranked last in the ranks, called the scrap wood combat battalion, will be directly repatriated to the local garrison army as a whole, and the 40 scrap wood combat battalions will all be attached to the major military regions to supplement the three tiger and leopard garrison battalions transferred to the border guards by various military regions, and each military region will send 36 tiger and leopard garrison battalions to the border guards, and the surplus can be discussed to supplement the disbanded scrap wood garrison battalions. As for the four combat battalions that are still missing from the border guards, they will be formed and supplemented by soldiers eliminated from the recruits of the Cavalry Army. Moreover, the two commanders of his battalion were under the command of the two commanders and lieutenants, and the combatants were flogged ten times a day in front of each battalion. For a total of 10 days, the soldiers were organized to line up and scold, and the rest of the officers were paraded in the streets for 10 days, and the entire combat battalion of waste wood was also to undergo a month-long renovation of military buildings before being repatriated to the local troops, to clean up the garbage and sanitation for the combat army, to repair the fortifications, and to kill the soldiers or officers if they resisted.

At the same time, 1 million Du Jiajun and 1.1 million Praetorian Guards were withdrawn and organized into a pro-guard army at the same time, with seven subordinate guards, each army under 30 janissary battalions, a total of 210 janissary battalions and 2.1 million troops, and a similar competition mechanism will also be implemented, with 21 tiger and leopard janissary battalions, 49 elite janissary battalions, 119 ordinary janissary battalions, 28 inferior Praetorian Guard battalions, and 7 waste wood janissary battalions.

The Pro-Guard Army will also reward and punish various Praetorian Guard battalions according to their combat qualities and achievements, but the difference is that the worst Janissary Battalion will not be withdrawn, because the strength of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, the predecessor of the Pro-Guard Army, and the Dujia Army basically exceeds the first order, and before the strength of the Frontier Guards does not leap to this point, even if the Border Guards decide the Tiger and Leopard Combat Battalion, it is difficult to replace the role of the Janissary Battalion.

As for the very elite Rouran Iron Cavalry, Lin Ruofeng is not easy to interfere with, but with the command and combat ability of Ye Lingyan, coupled with the fact that Rouran people are born warriors on horseback, the combat ability of Rouran Iron Cavalry is far superior to that of the various armies of Great Zhao, even if it is the Praetorian Guard with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Great Zhao army, it is impossible to do one-on-one in front of Rouran Iron Cavalry.

As for the Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and the Xiao Cavalry Army, the field army has its own harsh competition mechanism, so there is no need to participate in such a competition, but the requirements cannot be relaxed, and the cruel competition in the field army cannot be relaxed.

And the 100,000 Imperial Forest Army, to be honest, if the Xiao Cavalry Army completes the expansion, there will be 600,000 troops, and the individual soldiers are stronger than the Imperial Forest Army, and as for the overall combat element, there is no way to think about it, so the role of the Royal Forest Army is dispensable by Lin Ruofeng, and the rebellion of the Royal Forest Army at a critical moment makes it difficult for Lin Ruofeng to regain confidence in them.

The victories and defeats will be determined by the respective garrison battalions of the major military regions, the tiger and leopard combat battalions of each combat army, and the tiger and leopard janissary battalions of the Royal Guards; as the overall results of the local troops, the border guards, and the pro-guard forces, the three different branches of the armed forces will not be tested before, and there will be no comparison, and no matter how strong the local troops are, it is impossible for them to beat the trump card in the border guards, and no matter how elite the border guards are, they will not be able to beat the trump card of the terrifying strength of the pro-guard army. So it only needs to be fought against each other before the various branches of the military.

Among the various branches of the armed forces, among the 30 Haw Par Garrison Battalions of the 12 Military Regions of the local troops, the 90 Haw Par Combat Battalions of the 30 combat armies of the Border Guard Army, and the 21 Haw Par Guard Battalions of the Seven Guards of the Pro-Guard Army, the top three of the internal Haw Par Battalions represent their military regions, combat armies, The Guards are the Tiger and Leopard Army, and different rewards are given, the fourth to the fourth from the bottom is the ordinary army, there is no reward, the last three belong to the military region or combat army, the Guards are the waste wood army, and its chief and deputy commanders will be punished by the emperor with ten lashes, and two percent of the military expenses of the military region or the combat army and the guards will be deducted.

The army that has won the title of Waste Wood Army three times in total, the chief and deputy commanders of the army are directly beheaded for public display.

Moreover, the title of Haw Par, Elite, Ordinary, Inferior, and Waste Wood is not just a title grade. It also involves the amount of military spending in the coming year. Limited supplies and other advantages. On top of that, this title will also be hung in front of the number. For example, if the Black Flag Army has won the title of Haw Par, it will be preceded by the Black Flag Army of Haw Par and the Black Flag Army, and if it has won the title of Scrap Wood Army, it will be called the Black Flag Army of Scrap Wood. Or an ordinary Black Flag Army, etc.

Lin Ruofeng also thought of being a guy, and carefully asked the eunuch to write down his thoughts. And revise it after pondering. Immediately ventilated Ye Lingyan, who was thousands of miles away, and after receiving Ye Lingyan's strong support, he summoned all the garrison commanders. and the five officials at all levels of the DPRK and the central government, and threw the new military system to them.

One person from each county garrison came, and after they had seen a total of hundreds of them, they couldn't cry or laugh in a daze. Except for Ding Qun, as well as the people of the Du family army and the Praetorian Guard, the rest reacted violently to express their opposition, thinking that this was simply ridiculous and nonsense. Because of the emperor's military system. They are also involved. In case, when the time comes, the decisive battle of the major military regions will win the last three places. But he will be punished with ten lashes from the emperor. That's it. How do you get by on the skin?

Lin Ruofeng didn't speak, just drank tea leisurely, their reason was nothing more than that if the game was like this, the money would be consumed, or they thought that in the game, even if they used wooden knives and guns, it would cause a lot of casualties.

Ding Qun was smiling wryly. He knew that the emperor was waiting for him to come out and speak. I had to cough twice and said, "I think the emperor's idea is excellent." Let the various armies form a strong sense of victory, and it will revive the backwater army of the Great Zhao Empire. And, so far. The commanders of the various armies will train desperately. Let my big Zhao military force flourish. ”

Just when they wanted to say something, Lin Ruofeng said indifferently: "I asked you to come over." It's not about whether you agree or not. Rather, let you discuss how to complement this plan. It costs money. I'm not afraid, there are casualties during the decisive battle, and I'm not afraid. But what I am afraid of is that 300,000 troops against 30,000 troops of other countries will fight to the death, or even collapse the army, but I am secretly thinking in my heart that only I, the emperor, can make such a big move in the whole Great Zhao army. (To be continued......)

PS: Paying tribute to the arrogant boss's "Faint King", some military reforms have borrowed some of his methods.
