Autumn is gone, replaced by snow. （)

In November, it was already winter.

Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Dong Hui have been pregnant for almost five months, and as time goes by, their stomachs are getting more and more erect. Coupled with the cold weather, the three of them wore more clothes, which further highlighted their round bellies. Among the three daughters, Diao Chan has the largest upright belly, and it looks like she is pregnant with twins, which makes Cai Yan and Dong Hui envious.

Although Wang Can is busy, he has to take some time to inspect every day.

As the three little lives gradually grew up, Wang Can's heart was also full of expectations, waiting for the arrival of the three little lives. Suddenly, he was already the father of three children, and his whole person seemed to have changed. It's getting a little different.

In the study, two copper basins are placed on the left and right sides of the door, and red charcoal fires are burning inside.

The heat constantly emanated from the copper basin, dispelling the chill in the room.

Wang Can sat in the study, sitting upright, looking at the revised army reform plan on the desk, and showing a smile. He had already sent someone to invite Xun You and the others, and after the matter was agreed, he needed to carry out the order, so Wang Can summoned all the strategists under his command, including Li Ru and Jia Xu, who were also found by Wang Can.

In the study, quietly.

At some point, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the house.

Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu came together, and there were still some snowflakes on their heads. After the three of them entered the study, they all shook the snowflakes that fell on their bodies, rubbed their cold hands again, and then bowed to Wang Can, picked up their cotton robes and sat on the seats, waiting for the arrival of others.

Soon after, Li Ru also rushed to the study.

In the end, Jia Xu was late.

After Li Ru and Jia Xu followed Wang Can to Chengdu, the two behaved very low-key, never befriended other people, nor did they deal with other officials, and rarely appeared in the public eye except for necessary activities.

Wang Can's eyes swept over the five people in the room, picked up the revised army reform plan in his hand, nodded at Xun You, and motioned Xun You to take it down and read it carefully.

Xun You stood up and took the information given by Wang Can.

He returned to his seat and read the content carefully before handing it to Cheng Yu.

Although Xun Yu handed the information to Cheng Yu, he kept thinking in his head. The more carefully he pondered, the expression on his face kept changing, sometimes showing a look of joy, sometimes showing a solemn look. Xun You admired Wang Can's reforms very much, bold and detailed enough, and the plan provided by Wang Can was stricter than the current military ranks.

However, Xun You was a little worried, because Wang Can's approach was too bold and could be called shocking.

From ancient times to the present, the soldiers under the command of the princes have followed the general system.

Every soldier starts from an ordinary soldier, and becomes a captain, a captain, a centurion, a captain, a general, etc., although this division is not as good as the plan given by Wang Can, and it is not as clear and detailed as the official rank system proposed by Wang Can, but it overthrows the military system since the Qin and Han dynasties, which is not bold.

Cheng Yu glanced at ten lines, quickly read the content on the paper, and then passed the information to Guo Jia. Guo Jia's speed is very fast, and after reading it, he passes it to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu then passes it to Li Ru.

It took nearly half an hour for five people to read all the content.

At this moment, the expressions of the five people were different.

The expression on Xun You's face was excited but there was a hint of worry, worried that Wang Can's reform might be attacked by the princes; Cheng Yu was excited, and he didn't think it was inappropriate at all; Guo Jia showed an expression of admiration and admired the reform plan proposed by Wang Can; The expression on Li Ru's face was solemn, because he sensed that there was a hidden energy in it, which was likely to subvert the current military system; As for the old fox Jia Xu, his expression was calm, and the expression on his face was calm and unwavering, and there was no change, as if it should be like this.

Wang Can's eyes swept over the five people and asked, "After reading the plan I proposed, then you can talk about your opinions, if there is anything that needs to be modified, you can make changes as soon as possible." ”

Xun You thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the imperial court takes the hussar general and the general as the generals in the army, is it too shocking for you to make reforms like this, if it is attacked by the princes, wouldn't it be ......?"

Before Xun You finished speaking, Wang Can interrupted Xun You's words.

He waved his hand and said, "Gongda, my word is 'first', which means dare to be the first in the world." Reform the military system is not a big deal, isn't it just a matter of making some changes? Nowadays, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Li Meng are in control of the government and competing for power and profit with each other, so how can they have spare time to manage what happened in Yizhou. Besides, the other princes were busy developing their power, and they didn't have the energy to take care of Yizhou. Your worries are not to be worried, let's think about how to implement them! ”

Xun You listened and wanted to speak.

He was just about to speak, but when he saw Guo Jia shaking his head, he didn't continue to persuade.

Cheng Yu stroked his beautiful hair under his chin, and arched his hand: "Lord, you mentioned in the book that there is a chief of staff from the regiment commander and above, and this chief of staff is a system; At the same time, there are political commissars above the regimental level, which is another system; In addition, there are brigade commanders, division commanders, army commanders, etc., who control the military power in the army, and this is another system. How to divide the rights of the three systems? ”

When several other people heard this, they all nodded, waiting for Wang Can to explain.

Do the three systems mean the separation of powers?

So, several people were full of anticipation.

Wang Can said with a smile: "In the army, there are two top leaders of the same level, that is, the political commissar of the army and the military commander of the army, and the chief of staff is equivalent to the deputy brigade commander and deputy division commander. ”

Li Ru asked again: "My lord, what is a military commander?" ”

Wang Can didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "The military commander, as the name suggests, is the person in charge of the military. Platoon commanders, company commanders...... All the way up to the commander he was called a military commander. When the two armies are at war, the military commander is responsible for issuing military orders, and the duty of the political commissar in the army is to be responsible for the ideological work of the officers and men, so that they can be loyal to our army, or to persuade the captured prisoners to surrender and educate them, so that the prisoners can change their minds and surrender to our army. ”

After a pause, Wang Can said again: "When encountering a war, the military commander and political commissar cooperate to determine the phalanx strategy of the battle. In handling military affairs, the political commissar handles the affairs of the army, and in turn obeys the leadership of the superiors. ”

Jia Xu's slightly narrowed eyes opened, nodded and praised: "The lord's move is very good, and having a political commissar restricts the rights of the military commander." Although the military commander has the right to command the soldiers in battle, the power of the military commander is still under the control of the political commissar, and there is no possibility of arrogance in the army. The lord is wise and admired! ”

He clasped his fists and saluted Wang Can in agreement.

After Guo Jia and the others listened, their eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared.

Wang Can looked at a few people with a smile on his face, but it took him a lot of effort to come up with all these things.

In fact, Wang Can's use of such reforms was indeed to control the power of generals in the army. Perhaps when Wang Can was fighting the country, because Wang Can's prestige was high enough, he could deter the generals in the army and ensure that the generals in the army were loyal to him, but it was difficult to guarantee what could happen later, and the power of the army could be separated by the coexistence of political commissars and military commanders, so as to curb the possibility of military commanders being arrogant.

Wang Can said: "Since they all agree, let's prepare to reform in the army." ”

When the words fell, Xun You said: "Slow! ”

Wang Can was a little puzzled and asked, "Gongda, why can't it be implemented yet?" ”

Xun You said: "My lord, although the specific reform plan has been formulated, there must be corresponding revisions to what titles and official positions generals should hold. In addition, the original military system has been abolished, and the original seal ribbon has lost its effect, and the current seal ribbon must be modified, which must be done in advance, otherwise it is easy to make chaos. ”

Hearing this, Wang Can nodded and said, "Gongda's words are reasonable, but I have already prepared them." ”

As he spoke, Wang Can smiled. He reached out and took out the epaulettes used in the later armies from the side of the desk, and placed them on the desk one by one, starting with the private and ending with the largest general, none of them were missed.

Wang Can pointed to the epaulettes on the desk and said: "These epaulettes represent the honor of soldiers, which is equivalent to the knighthood obtained by soldiers, but they do not represent the size of the official position in the army." As for the seal ribbon in the army, you immediately rush to control it, and the name engraved on the seal ribbon is no longer a general, but the official position of each general, such as brigade commander, division commander and other official positions. Well, I have rearranged the official positions of the generals in the army, and I will take them down and implement them. ”

As he spoke, Wang Can took out another piece of Zuo Bo paper, which listed the new official positions of all the generals.

However, the largest official position is only the division commander, and the rank is at the rank of colonel.

In other words, the highest-ranking generals in the army still have the possibility of promotion, which is also Wang Can's deliberate so, so that he can be rewarded after his meritorious service in the future war, otherwise he will appoint commanders and army commanders as soon as he comes up, and then after winning the battle, Wang Can will not know how to reward and how to give promotion.

Therefore, the highest-ranking general in the army stopped at the division commander level and could not move up again.

After Xun You took it, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is one more thing to tell you." The five of you form the General Staff Headquarters, which is responsible for drawing up and organizing the campaign plan and mobilization plan for the implementation of the war. I am the Chief of the General Staff, and the five of you are under my direct supervision. ”

In fact, five people are already equivalent to Wang Can's staff officers.

It's just that Wang Can made it clear and made it public.

When the five of them heard this, their hearts were overjoyed.

They were all Wang Can's advisers, and they didn't have much interest in the establishment of the General Staff, and they were happy to become members of Wang Can's core, which was what made them happy.

After receiving the order, the five people left the study happily.

Xun You and Cheng Yu cooperated, constantly drafting orders, conveying all the terms, and there was also a wave of heat in the army, and they were overjoyed with the regulations just issued.

In the newly promulgated regulations, official positions and military ranks are clearer and more detailed.

If soldiers want to climb up, they only need to make meritorious service, meritorious service, and meritorious service again, and they can continue to rise.

In this way, the belligerence of the soldiers was further aroused.

PS: The second of the three changes, this chapter is written in a bit grandiose, there are places that do not conform to reality, and there are many forbearances and understandings.
