Chapter 292: The New Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies

"There are five military governors, with jurisdiction over the army, air force, navy, guard and artillery units, and the structure of the governor's office is the same as that of the national dynasty; In the existing army, all infantry are included in the army sequence, all naval divisions are included in the navy sequence, and all the guards are included in the guard sequence.

The establishment of the army is based on corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, and often sets up the armed army, the Shenwu army, the Shence army, the Tianxiong army, and the Longwu army, and these five armies are set up as group armies, and each army has ten divisions at the division level.

Including the Dingwu Army, starting from the 1st Division to the 50th Division, the basic combat personnel were reorganized, and a squad including the squad leader had a total of 10 people; a platoon, including the platoon commander, with a total of 31 people; a company with a total of 121 people, including the company commander; And so on, a battalion of 501 people; a regiment of 1501 people; One brigade has jurisdiction over four regiments of 6,001 people; One division has three brigades of 18,000 men;

In addition, the three military positions of deputy squad leader, deputy platoon commander, and deputy company commander no longer belong to the officer sequence, but belong to the officer reserve, and their responsibilities are exactly the same as those of the new army establishment in those years;

Secondly, this government is determined to establish a military rank system to prevent a situation in which there is no leader after the accidental death of the commander of the war, but our army has now made a preliminary transition to that situation, and each commander knows his responsibilities and tasks; ”

Chen Cao's new military system has long passed the situation in which non-commissioned officers have become private soldiers of commanders, and every non-commissioned officer and officer knows the wartime mission, and when the commander dies, the deputy post is on top, the deputy post is dead, and the commander at the next level is on top, and so on, if all the commanders are dead, the soldiers will complete the combat mission on their own.

"In addition, from now on, all junior officers must be served by students who have graduated from military academies, initially as platoon commanders, and the military rank system has also begun, and ordinary soldiers are set up as privates, third privates, second class privates, first class privates, and then non-commissioned officers, which are divided into junior non-commissioned officers, corporals, sergeants, sergeants, and sergeant majors;

The position of grassroots squad leader must be held by a non-commissioned officer, the deputy squad leader must be a private of the second class or above, the deputy platoon leader must be a non-commissioned officer of a sergeant or above, and the deputy company commander must be an officer of a sergeant or above;

followed by lieutenants, divided into ensigns, lieutenants, and captains; Then there are the school officers, which are divided into majors, lieutenant colonels, colonels, and colonels; The officers are divided into major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals; and set up the post of generalissimo of the five armies; ”

Chen Cao smiled: "This duke is naturally embarrassed by this generalissimo of the Fifth Army..."

Everyone laughed along with him, knowing in their hearts that this was natural.

"The military position is the military position, the military rank is the military rank, the military position is responsible for the specific affairs of the army, the military rank is a symbol of status, in addition, from today, the military positions of the previous guard army, now all in accordance with the pre-Qin period will be set up as a title, respectively, the small flag, the general flag, the trial hundred households, the hundred households, the general, the deputy thousand households, the thousand general, the thousand households, the commander of the affairs, the division, the commander of the same knowledge, the garrison, the commander, the guerrilla general, the commander of the general, the general, the deputy commander-in-chief, the total of eighteen military titles, this title can only be awarded to meritorious soldiers, None of the others are awarded, and the eighteenth-rank military lords are the same as the lords of the dynasty, and are divided into liujue and hereditary, of course, this must be determined by the circumstances;

Secondly, what my father is saying now is that we can listen to it ourselves, but don't pass it on to me; ”

Chen Cao looked at the few henchmen present with a serious face: "I have decided to re-establish the lord, which is divided into five permanent lords, such as barons, viscounts, earls, marquises, and dukes, and the specific establishment of this lord will be handed over to Yun Sheng to be responsible." ”

After listening to this, the hearts of the people present perked, what Chen Cao meant by setting up the Five Standing Lords They couldn't be clearer, now with Chen Cao's strength, self-reliance is more than enough, with excitement, several people looked at each other with a smile.

Chen Cao drank all the tea in front of him, and after saying so much, he was also thirsty: "After the preparation and arrangement are completed, the other thing is to re-establish the Jinyi Guard..."

Zhao Xin's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested, since the emperor in the north removed the Jinyi Guard, he, the person from the Nanzhen Fusi, was simply just an ornament, although he was still doing the things of the Jinyi Guard, but it was always unjustifiable.

Chen Cao also saw Zhao Xin's appearance, so he sneered and said: "You guy, rest assured, the position of the commander of this Jinyi Guard belongs to you, in addition, the other four old brothers have been awarded the position of commander respectively, and you recruit the personnel yourself, and the Jinyi Guard is not in the sequence of the five armies, it is self-contained, and it is responsible to me alone." ”

"The subordinates will do their best."

"Grandpa..."

An official document was handed over to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin opened it again and handed it to Chen Cao, after reading it, Chen Cao shook his head: "Look at it, what to say, after King Fu worships his ancestors in Fengyang, he is preparing to attack Nanjing with an army of 300,000, let us send troops to contain Nanjing, and return to Nanjing with them before the end of December." ”

"The only troops that our army can mobilize now are more than 50,000 people in the Longwu Army, and more than 30,000 people in the two divisions under the command of the commander of the Song Army of the Dingwu Army," Huang Chunyao shook his fan: "It is not impossible for 80,000 people to go to Nanjing, but we must guard against the army of King Qin, who is in the northwest from Huguang River." ”

Chen Cao's hands kept beating on the round table, and King Fu now let Chen Cao send troops to make it clear that he also knew what Chen Cao was doing in Zhejiang, especially the surrender of You Shiwei and a few people, and solved his biggest hidden danger in the south, coupled with the general trend of attacking Fengyang, it was natural to take advantage of the army's spirit to take Nanjing.

"The students guessed that King Fu wanted to be emperor in Nanjing..."

Everyone's eyes looked at Huang Chunyao, and Chen Cao's hand stopped beating: "Well, there is this possibility, there is still Jiannu in the north now, if you calculate carefully, the army in the north still has a million people, but it can withstand a war, at most no more than 500,000, and most of them have to guard against Jiannu and defend the capital." ”

Huang Chunyao and Xu Fuyuan glanced at each other, then stopped their fans and said, "Grandpa, the students have two plans, first, the trip to Nanjing is feasible, but we can occupy the southern provinces before King Fu takes Nanjing;

The second is to go north to Nanjing, and then do it when the city of Nanjing is broken..."

"You mean?"

Chen Cao squinted his eyes, he had talked to Huang Chunyao about working with King Fu, and now Huang Chunyao reminded him again, he remembered the plan of this life-killing scholar at that time, the city of Nanjing was broken, and King Fu died unexpectedly...

Huang Chunyao nodded lightly, Chen Cao took a deep breath and began to think, now his territory is Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion where Nanzhili is located, and several prefectures in Zhejiang, all of which together are estimated to be equivalent to the territory of Zhejiang Province, and now the actual strength is only more than 100,000, that is, new recruits have been recruited, and it will not be possible without three months of training, and the new army will become combat effectiveness in July and August next year.

If you attack the whole of Zhejiang, you must recruit the guards on the spot to garrison, but those veteran soldiers have no combat effectiveness, and the landlords and bureaucrats are heavy-minded, and they have no belief in fighting at all.

In terms of troops, this is a problem of stretching.

"Since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains of Hebei have won the world, that is, Emperor Taizu of this dynasty only chased Meng Yuan from the north, and then sent Mu Ying and others to spread the south, at most in Guizhou and Guangxi, Yunnan and the three sides of the war with the Turen," Xu Fuyuan said: "If the grandfather thinks that our army cannot be used normally, he will abandon the south and only operate coastal places such as Zhejiang and Guangdong, so that he can compete with the north." ”

Many people privately feel that Chen Cao's decision to stick to Songjiang is a bit of a shadow of Zhang Shicheng back then, but it is completely different in terms of troops, but there are indeed many differences between firearms troops and long knives and spears.

Huang Chunyao and Xu Fuyuan spoke, and the remaining civil officials all made suggestions, and after listening to the plans of several people, Chen Cao also made up his mind.

"Well, what you said is very reasonable, I have decided to go north to Nanjing and launch an offensive against Nanjing with King Fu..."

In the inner hall of the governor's yamen, Chen Caozheng and Huang Chunyao and Xu Fuyuan were drinking tea.

"Really hit Nanjing, the students were worried that Emperor Chongzhen would make a desperate bet."

Huang Chunyao interrupted Xu Fuyuan's words: "No, the consequences of the desperate gamble are not only that he can't afford it, but even those civil and military officials won't agree; ”

Saying that, Huang Chunyao glanced at Chen Cao, who was drinking tea, and then said: "Grandpa, at present, the civil unrest in Shaanxi, the soldiers and horses in Shanxi and other places have followed the rebellion, and now the Yulin border army has been surrendered by us, and the civil unrest in Shaanxi can only rely on Sichuan and Huguang to find a way, and the southwest can not worry, the only thing is still in Nanjing." ”

Xu Fuyuan learned about his plan from Huang Chunyao, and also wanted to work hard to be a good strategist here in Chen Cao, so he said: "King Fu raised troops under the name of 'Qingjun side', if he died violently in Nanjing, his position of King Fu can only be replaced by Zhu Yousong, the son of Fu, I heard that the physique of King Fu is bigger than his father, and such a person who has no prestige in the army may not be able to bear the responsibility of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops." ”

Chen Cao's eyes lit up, Xu Fuyuan's words did have some truth, but he was only stunned, and then continued to taste tea.

Huang Chunyao saw that Chen Cao didn't speak, and said: "Although the prince of King Fu is incompetent, he can be controlled by us, if there is a new movement at the critical moment of King Fu's violent death, then it is a great opportunity for our grandfather." ”

Chen Cao put down the teacup and breathed a sigh of relief: "If Jiannu can enter the customs, it will be even more justifiable for us to raise troops..."

Huang Chunyao and Xu Fuyuan glanced at each other, and they had a plan in their hearts...
