The official title of privy envoy was set up in the time of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but the privy envoy of the Tang Dynasty was only responsible for managing military intelligence, confidential information, etc., which was concurrently held by eunuchs, and this official title was retained until the fifth dynasty. www.biquge.info In order to eliminate the hidden danger of warlord secession, the establishment of a privy envoy can weaken the power of the prime minister, and it is also an important measure to strengthen the imperial power.

Therefore, after the reform of Yuanfeng, the Privy Council was still preserved, but the relationship between the privy envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Zhongshu was extremely abnormal. The people of the time once said: The privy envoy plays every court, and the Chinese book is successively written, and the two do not know each other, so it is often doubtful. Although the Privy Council is said to be in charge of the army, it is not a matter of not concurrently serving as the prime minister. Song Shenzong's Imperial Stenda Dao also said that the battle guards the safety of the government, the book is the main battle, and the privy envoy is the main guard, so how can you win? It is clearly pointed out that the disadvantages of this kind of mutual containment have caused by the distortion of the major policies of the militaristic state.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Gaozong accepted this lesson, and in order to deal with regular foreign wars, he had to implement the integration of military and political affairs, and set up the official title of "Pingzhang Military Affairs". For a period of time after that, this measure of integrating military and government did play a role in stabilizing the war situation, but with the growth of the imperial army, the disadvantages of excessive power of the military generals reappeared, and even a mutiny drove Gojong from power, so he tried to take over the power of the military generals, and the prime minister also served as the privy envoy.

However, after moving south, there were constant wars, and successive emperors could only set up governors to guard the frontline points, so they had to control the army by delegating power, recovering power, and even changing power frequently. However, they still failed to prevent the formation and expansion of the military bloc, so that they formed a tail-ending trend, and after their respective interests were damaged, they rebelled regardless of national interests, which led to the collapse of the entire defense line and helped to become the main force in the destruction of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yu knows that if he wants to completely solve the problem, he can only solve the problem through the system, not the rule of man. But he also knows that he is just a porter of history, and there is no problem for him to be a good craftsman, but he is really not good at dealing with this kind of military affairs, and he has no experience in this area in his previous life, so he really has no bottom to preside over and carry out such a big institutional adjustment.

However, Zhao Yu also understands that if he can't solve this problem, his position will be unstable after all. However, the current dynasty is still in a period of chaos and early establishment, and the forces of each faction are relatively weak, and they must rely on themselves to survive, so it is also the best period to adjust the organization, and it will be even more difficult to miss this window period. Therefore, he decided that even if there were irrationalities in this innovation, he would resolutely carry it out, set the basic principles and gradually improve them. Besides, in the face of the wisdom of the Chinese people, the system is always free to drill......

The main duties of the Privy Council after Zhao Yu's reform were similar to those of the modern General Staff, and its main responsibilities were expressed in one word - to fight wars. the development of the country's supreme military strategy; determine the allocation and use of human and material resources in wartime; Provide military decision-making options to the Emperor and Zhongshu Province. As the "most important military adviser", the Privy Council has the functions and powers of the Ministry of War, including formulating military strategies, directing the defense budget, and planning operations and joint exercises, and can directly state its own ideas to the emperor.

In terms of authority, the Privy Council lost its military and political powers, but in terms of power, its chief officer was held by a military man, which avoided the elbow of a scholar. Moreover, the privy envoy could express his opinion directly to the emperor, and did not have to draw up some water-mixed battle plans and be subject to the authority of the prime minister, as in the past, under the conjecture of the literati.

To improve the status of the martial arts, Zhao Yu is not only from the lip service, in the organizational structure of the privy envoy is set as the first rank, you must know that the highest military chief of the Great Song Dynasty Taiwei is the second rank official, so that although the status of the privy envoy is lower than the left and right ministers, but also higher than the governor and a should be Shangshu. In order to reflect this status, the deputy positions of the Privy Council are all second-rank, and the subordinate first-level department chiefs are all ministerial-level and subordinate to the second-rank treatment, which is the same level as the secretary of the military department. Not to mention anything else, at least the salary is a little higher, and the palace has to stand in front when it is arranged.

Zhao Yu planned to set up a headquarters, a military intelligence department, a quartermaster department, a judge's office, a staff department, a senate department, and a superintendent department in the Privy Council.

The headquarters corresponds to the branch department of the military department, and consists of four command headquarters: infantry, cavalry, water, and artillery, which are respectively responsible for formulating the operational plans of each service, combat command, rectification, and approval. The Military Intelligence Department is the original spy department in charge of the Ministry of Intelligence, which has not changed its functions and has changed its modern name; The Quartermaster Department is responsible for formulating plans for the use and allocation of armor equipment, the research and development and promotion of new weapons, and the study of tactics and tactical applications. In addition, he also commanded the engineering units of the baggage army during the war, and directed the construction of cities and fortifications.

The Magistrate's Office is a permanent body responsible for the day-to-day work of the Privy Council, which is equivalent to a modern general office; The staff department was brought over from the military headquarters and was still responsible for the drawing of maps and topographic surveys; The Senate is a place of talent, equivalent to a modern military committee, and their role is mainly to assist the privy envoys in formulating strategies and tactics on weekdays, and to provide advice on battle plans, from which to select the generals who will lead the troops in wartime; At this time, the Governor Department was only vacant, and it was prepared for the purpose of commanding and managing the various theaters.

As for the readjustment and demarcation of the war zone, Zhao Yu has not thought about it now, and there is only Qiongzhou at the moment, and there is no need to divide it. In the future, however, we will face the entire occupied area, which is not only a vast geographical area, but also a complex situation. Even if we put aside the concept of region and divide it according to the direction in which future wars are likely to occur, the wars we are facing are characterized by large breadth and depth, and the outbreak of a large-scale local war may require the mobilization of military-related organs in half of the country, so careful planning is still necessary......

If the brain of the military organ is there, then the body will follow, which involves the establishment of the army. After Zhao Yu came to this world, he had a headache about the official system of the Song Dynasty at first, many official names were different from modern times, and some of the functions were inconsistent with the original intentions, so it took him a lot of effort to figure out what was going on. Although the military is more concise, it has also subverted many inherent concepts in the past, making it difficult for him to adapt.

In modern times, the establishment sequence of armies, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads has long been ingrained in our minds and has become inertia. Coming to this world is chaotic, in fact, these names have existed in ancient times, but they are not the same concept at all with modern times, or even now, and the corresponding military positions are also ever-changing, and I can't figure out what's going on without a little effort.

Since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, China has had an army establishment, which has been extremely rich due to the changes in the social and political system, the improvement of the level of productive forces, and the influence of long-term and continuous wars. The establishment of the modern armed forces is generally unified, and the establishment in peacetime and wartime is basically the same. However, the ancient Chinese army often had two kinds of establishments, one was the establishment of peacetime organization and training, and the other was the establishment of combat troops. When it comes to forming a combat unit, it is necessary to break the original structure and reorganize the soldiers into a new combat formation.

The basic establishment unit of the ancient Chinese army was the 1510 "Shiwu" system. In addition, in ancient times, when the army was launched, it was often arranged into two formations, left and right, or left, center, and right, which affected the formation of the army to adopt the binary or tri-digit position, or its multiples.

The Shang Dynasty already had a soldier establishment of "shi", and ten shis were commanded by centurions; The ten tithes were organized into large rows, commanded by the commander of a thousand soldiers; During the battle, it was customary to arrange the formation according to one big row on the left, the center, and the right, and the three big lines that were put into battle were called "divisions", which were the most basic strategic units in the Shang Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty still took the "division" as the basic unit, and it was more chaotic when it entered the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and each country was different, but it still used the Shiwu system as the base.

The Han Dynasty infantry was organized into five men and commanded by the commander; The five Wu were organized as "two" and were commanded by two Simas; The four two-part divisions are pawns, commanded by the chief of pawns; The five pawns were organized into brigades, which were commanded by the brigade commanders; Five brigades were organized into divisions, which were commanded by the division commander; Five divisions were organized into corps and commanded by generals. The Sui and Tang dynasties inherited the government soldier system, and set up Zhichong Prefecture all over the country, which was the organization and training unit, with jurisdiction over 800 to 1,000 soldiers, and set up Zhichong Lieutenants, and the deputies were two Guoyi Lieutenants; The government has several regiments, each with 200 soldiers, and a captain as the main officer; The regiment has two brigades, each brigade has 100 soldiers, and the brigade commander is the chief officer; The brigade has two teams, each with 50 soldiers, and the team is the chief officer; The team has five fires, each with ten firefighters and a fire chief.

By the time of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the basic combat force was formed: 100 people were a capital, and all had a capital; The Wudu group was organized into a battalion, and the battalion had a command; The five battalions are organized into an army, and the army has all commanders or all of them, or they are directly called the commanders; The ten armies are organized into a box, and the carriage has all the commanders, or directly called the owners of the compartments; The total strength of the left and right sides in a strategic direction is generally about 50,000 people, and is commanded by the Jiedu envoy sent by the emperor.

The system of the Later Zhou Dynasty was completely followed by the Song Dynasty, and the Song army of 500 people was a standard battalion, which was generally directly called "command", as a basic unit, and the number of commanders was calculated by counting the troops, and the transfer organization was also based on the command unit, which was generally not dismantled. The capital of the hundred men under the camp is the head of the capital; The establishment below the capital level is the system of the Shiwu, and there are names of non-commissioned officers such as military leaders and ten generals. The establishment of the soldiers varies from clan to clan, or according to tribe, sex, clan, or according to clan, standard, and team, until the time of the Divine Sect, the unified command and capital establishment are adopted. Therefore, the establishment of the Song army is divided into three levels: army, command, and capital.

Later, there was a change, and there was an establishment of 'generals', which could be divided into large and small, and the number of soldiers was between 8,000 and 10,000. After the southern crossing, it was even more chaotic, and the establishment was similar to Li Yunlong's independent regiment, and the company was both large and small. For example, Han Shizhong was the former protector, with Chuzhou as the center to organize defense, under the jurisdiction of 11 commanders, 13 commanders, 63 generals, about 80,000 soldiers and horses; Liu Guangshi was the left protector army, with ten armies under his jurisdiction, defending the direction of Huaibei, with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses; Zhang Jun is the Central Protector Army, with eleven armies and 99 generals, with Jiankang as the center, with a strength of about 80,000 troops; Yue Fei was the rear protector of the army, with Ezhou as the center to organize defense, with twelve armies under his jurisdiction.

Until now, Zhao Yu is very glad that when he formed the Shuaifu Army, there were only a few thousand people, and he was at best equivalent to the commander of a modern B division, so he could still figure it out, if he really gave him tens of thousands of people at once, he couldn't figure it out if he was a science student. In the future, it will also be a stupid method, anyway, I have so many preset establishments, and I can't afford to raise more soldiers, so if there are enough 500 people, I will be organized into a battalion, and then gradually expand the establishment on the basis of the original five battalions, from the commander, into the command, and then into the commandery, and then into the commandery, and so fool into Qiongzhou.

And after arriving in Yazhou, Zhao Yu was very stunned for a while, because the various departments of the Xing Dynasty came to help the huge and complex, and collected the defeated troops from all walks of life, the forbidden army, the Xiang army, and the volunteer made him stupid and confused. The forbidden army with the number of the forbidden army in front of the palace is actually tens of thousands, and when it is small, there are only 20,000 people; In the heyday of the Huai Army, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but Zhang Shijie only had thousands of people in his hands; There are still dozens of people who claim to be one conductor, and there are thousands of volunteers who are organized into one conductor.

Anyway, it's a confused account, when it comes to which army, Zhao Hao has to think about how many people they have, how many commanders and commanders they have. After the relocation of Qiong, he immediately reorganized the various ministries according to his own stupid methods, and the large number of people was abolished, and the few people were supplemented. However, this organizational structure is still unreasonable, and it is better to say that the battalion and below are fully staffed.

Then it suddenly jumped to the 'general' level, which was managed by a commander, and the middle layer was too far apart, which was very inconvenient in management, and it also exposed a lot of defects in wartime. In this battle to defend Qiongzhou, in fact, the supreme military commander Zhang Shijie was in command, and Zhao Mengjin, as the commander of the capital, had to be delegated to a certain aspect to directly command, and the commander was even directly commanded to the battalion, and even crossed the level to the capital, and at the critical moment, he had to leave the command position to the front, making the command system extremely chaotic. Of course, Zhao Yu also contributed to this kind of chaos, he is an emperor who directly faces the enemy, and the people below dare not be brave!

Although the command system of the naval army is not as chaotic as that of the infantry army, it is not perfect in terms of establishment. Of course, this is also inseparable from Zhao Hao, one is because he still lacks an intuitive understanding of the form of water warfare in ancient times; second, he was also in a state of confusion about the composition of the warship personnel, and only assigned sailors based on his own intuition and the advice of Liu Zhu and other naval generals; Third, as the supreme commander of the navy, he was only a walled man before, managing more than a dozen warships of all sizes, and he also lacked experience in large-scale formations.

As a result, the three water villages are set up with eyebrows and beards, and the large and small warships are configured according to their functions, but they are not managed according to different combat missions. Often, every time there is a big war, the whole army, no matter how big or small, ships pour out of the nest, resulting in some people watching the excitement after the battle starts, while others are too busy to touch the ground, resulting in a waste of troops, not to mention a waste of resources......
