"Uh, no! that's not what I meant. Well, you can talk about this first, and we'll talk about it later. "Gongsun Festival feels like he's been tricked.

Ding Kui has just put forward a reform plan, but it has not yet been decided whether or how to change it, and it is not yet time to fight for benefits on Gongsun Day.

"Well, the adjustment of the auxiliary force system is probably these, professional auxiliary troops help to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, can efficiently use the idle population, and solve the problem of shortage of troops. ”

"Next, let's talk about the adjustment of the captive system. ”

"The situation we are encountering at the moment is very peculiar, the captives are basically nationals, and maybe even former comrades, even if the rebel king is willing to pay a ransom, we cannot release the prisoners, but we cannot imprison or execute them permanently. ”

Speaking of which, Ding Kui looked at the others, and they all thought it was true.

He continued: "So what to do with them?"

"In fact, you can give them a chance to mend their ways, and the most suitable place for them is the mining area!"

"Mining is manual work, and prisoners who are physically intact can do it, and we can sentence the prisoner according to the severity of the crime, ranging from ten to twenty years, and the serious crime can be sentenced to life mining. ”

"As for the original miners who can be turned into recruits or auxiliaries, they at least have the strength to enter the convoy......

Xun Qi closed his mouth that had just opened.

"The state-owned mining areas can't hold so many prisoners, we can also arrange for them to pave roads and build bridges, build cities and forts, and there are many places in the country that need to be rebuilt, and there is always a place for them to go." ”

"Of course, there are special people among the captives, such as those with strong personal combat power, who can be organized and hired to care for merchants, escort goods, etc., which can be regarded as helping the Commander's Mansion to generate some income. ”

Several commanders secretly said in their hearts: He is worthy of being the most profitable young man in the kingdom, and the value of this captive has almost been squeezed out by him.

After talking about the prisoner reform, Ding Kui deliberately paused for a while to see if anyone jumped out to fight for some rights and interests, but there was a lesson from Gongsun Festival before, how could several commanders fall into his trap again.

"Huh. He laughed dryly and took a sip from his teacup to moisten his throat.

"There is an important reason why the rebels are so arrogant today, that is, there are many regular legions in the formation of rebellions, the latest one is the seventeenth legion, why did this happen?" he looked at Shao Dianzhang.

Shao Dianzhang nodded and said, "Well, you can talk about it." ”

Ding Kui continued: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and the officers and soldiers at the bottom blindly obey their superiors, and in the end they can't figure out whether they should obey the corps commander or the imperial court. ”

"In the past, the regular legions rarely changed the garrison and commander, resulting in a situation where the commander deeply controlled the legion, which led to some legions defecting to the king. ”

"That's why we need a garrison and corps commander rotation. ”

"As the name suggests, each army corps has to change the base camp and commander in turn, and the pros and cons still outweigh the disadvantages. ”

"The regular rotation of garrisons can familiarize the legions with the local environment, unlike now, when the eastern border army will get lost in the west, and vice versa, in the future, the legions will be able to fight at home on a national scale. ”

"You may have a question, the commander of the corps needs to be rotated, so should the chief of staff be rotated? No, the chief of staff can help the new commander to familiarize himself with and master the troops more quickly, and the chief of staff's ability to rebel is far less than that of the commander-in-chief, so there is no need to rotate ......."

The people present were very familiar with the troops, and they could see the good or bad of the two rotation systems, but they did not contradict each other.

"The last one is the wartime discharge guarantee system. ”

Xun Qi cheered up, and this military reform was inseparable from the logistics department.

"Officers and soldiers who enlist in wartime are different from those who enlist in peacetime, and they are embodied in the ...... in terms of will to fight."

"Therefore, there should be a difference between the treatment of officers and soldiers who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield, and the following adjustments can be made......

Ding Kui raised many soldiers who were discharged from the army due to injuries at home, but his personal strength was limited after all, and he could not take care of the millions of retired officers and soldiers, so he had to seek help from the state treasury.

These are the current systems that the last general wants to change. ”

There was a brief silence in the lobby of the Commander's Palace, and the commanders were pondering the contents of the military reform related to their headquarters and did not rush to make an evaluation.

"General Ding, why did you choose this time to adjust the current system? If you don't do a good job, it will be easy for you to be held guilty, and it may affect the front-line war. Shaodian Zhangxian reminded Ding Kui of the possible negative effects.

Ding Kui explained: "The rebel king has occupied the four western states for a long time, the economy and population have stabilized, and the war potential has been growing.

Although the war potential in the areas controlled by the imperial court is greater, we must be wary of our neighbors and cannot use all our strength to deal with the rebels, so we must improve the combat effectiveness of the existing troops in order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. ”

"From another point of view, General Ding returned to the DPRK with a great victory to revise the military system, and he should be able to win the greatest recognition in the army. The subordinates believed that the key was whether the new military system could enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. Jiang Xi came out to support his nephew softly.

"Well, if you can improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in the short term, this commander can go all out. Shao Dianzhang didn't say it to death.

"How much can the combat effectiveness be improved just by training auxiliaries and improving the treatment of discharge?" Gongsun Day automatically ignored the prisoner and rotation system.

"For elite legions, the improvement is limited, but for ordinary legions, it remains to be seen. Xun Qi made a more objective evaluation.

"Hmph, you have been sitting in the hall for a long time, I am afraid that you have long forgotten the hardships and dangers of the battlefield. Although General Ding is my son-in-law, I would like to say fairly that these adjustments to the system can indeed enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

With professional auxiliaries, the troops have no worries and can go all out into combat, and even if one more squadron enters the battlefield, it is possible to change the results of the battle.

Needless to say, the benefits of the new prisoner system can greatly increase the number of troops in a short period of time, replenish the reserve strength of our army, and allow troops with excessive battle losses to quickly recover their combat effectiveness.

It takes time to rotate garrisons and commanders, but which of you can guarantee that no legion will defect in the future? Do you have a better way to prevent it?

When the officers and men on the battlefield hear that they will be more secure after being discharged from the army, will they not boost their morale? Will the morale of the troops be greatly boosted?

Long Kun stood up, counted the benefits of military reform one by one, his eyes swept over the faces of each commander, and he glared fiercely when he passed by Gongsun Day.

Jiang Xi said with a smile: "What Commander Long said is extremely true. ”

"The reason is that there is such a reason, but these reforms involve a wide range of systems, and some of them have to be recognized by the Ministry of Finance, so I am afraid that it is not so easy to implement. Xun Qi hurriedly inserted between Long Kun and Gongsun Jie.
