"The new army will be organized as the first division of the Ming Imperial Army! What is the Army? That is, the army that fights on land is called the army. The number of the first division is my expectation for you, and I hope that you will be invincible and the first in the world's army! The division is also a division of a hundred battles, and it is a formed unit with subordinate brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, of which the smallest squad is 10 people, and then the third or third is formed into a higher-level unit. It is divided into one shift, two shifts, three shifts, one row, two rows, three rows, and so on. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen paused, digested the many new terms for them a little, and then continued: "I hope that you will be like the first division and the first class, and the first establishment of all units is worthy of the name. As for those soldiers being organized into a squad, a platoon, a company, and so on, it's up to you to fight for it! ”

The establishment of the new army has completely eliminated the practice of distinguishing generals by their surnames since ancient times, and all of them are numbers. This is conducive to removing the mark of generals and reducing the possibility of militarization of the army.

For this new military system, Cao Bianjiao and them all heard about it for the first time, and they all felt very fresh. But are there still few new things in Beijing now? Since the emperor made such an arrangement, he must have his reasons. Thinking so, he did not reject this new military system in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen's gaze swept over the audience, and he continued to say loudly: "The three differences are to abolish the supervision of the new army and replace it with the political commissar, referred to as the political commissar. Do you know what the political commissar means? ”

As soon as he said this, those soldiers were fine, but the soldier Shang Shushen Yongmao who was standing behind him was startled. What's going on? How can the prison army be canceled, and what should I do if the martial arts are too big?

didn't think about one, two, three, and then heard what Emperor Chongzhen said later, and suddenly, as knowledgeable as him, he was also confused. The word politics, he had never heard.

"Politics is the business of the people, governance is management, and the management of the affairs of the people is politics." Emperor Chongzhen knew that no one could answer, so he explained to them, "The political commissar, that is, the political commissar, is the one who manages your daily affairs. The new army will be equipped with political commissars at the company level, and everything else will be under the control of the political commissars, except for the command of the battle. Personnel changes, military exploits are confirmed, and generals and political commissars of the same level must be recognized before they can ......"

Seeing that many people were puzzled, Emperor Chongzhen explained: "In other words, the army is jointly managed by generals and political commissars, with generals in charge of fighting and political commissars in charge of daily life. For example, in addition to your training, the commissar will teach you to read and write......"

Even if the emperor was on the platform, as soon as this example was spoken, the soldiers of the new army below could no longer be calm, and even those soldiers who were a little farther away couldn't help but speak out.

"Reading and literacy, so what political commissar wants to teach us to read and write?"

"You heard me right, but what are we going to do with literacy?"

"Whatever you want, if only you could teach us to read and write! I don't even recognize my own name! ”

“……”

When Jin Yiwei and Qianhu saw that there was a whispering discussion below, they immediately shouted. When the lieutenants of the brocade guards under him heard this, they strode behind to make their rounds.

When the soldiers of the new army heard this, they immediately remembered that the emperor was still on the platform, this was a serious occasion, and it was a big crime to be rude in front of the emperor, so they immediately shut up and resumed their quiet. However, it was obvious that many of them were in high spirits, their eyes fixed on the emperor, expecting to hear some more relevant news.

Shangshu Shen Yongmao of the Ministry of War was behind the emperor, and he shook his head slightly when he listened, teaching these big-headed soldiers to read and write, is this useful? Is it necessary? Can you teach it?

And Rong Mangui, the general manager of Jingying, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and he was reading and literate, which was the biggest headache!

No matter what others thought, Emperor Chongzhen still announced loudly: "The new army assesses and selects officers, and this literacy will also be an assessment point." You must destroy them one by one and win the war! ”

I don't know why, Cao Bianjiao listened and listened, and suddenly remembered what he heard in the restaurant that day, this political commissar taught everyone to read and write, and what was trained by the household department, isn't it the same? I don't think that's going to happen, right?

Thinking so, he remembered that he still wanted to expose the deception. But now it's over, let's see! The emperor said so, it shouldn't be a lie!

"You should think, am I asking too much of you? The army, as long as it can fight, what do you need to read and write? Emperor Chongzhen looked at the reaction below, and probably understood what some people thought, so he asked loudly.

However, such a question was still asked by the emperor, and no one dared to answer it!

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew this, so after a slight pause, he replied to himself: "Because you are the first division of the Ming Army, my requirements for you are naturally high!" When you establish meritorious deeds in the coming day, you will bring new soldiers and become the ones who lead the soldiers. If you want to be illiterate, how can you lead your troops to war? Don't tell me, you just want to be a soldier, you don't want to be a general, or even a marquis! ”

When Man Gui heard this, his face immediately turned red. Fortunately, he has a beard and can cover a large part of his face, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be on the stage!

He didn't deny the emperor's statement in his heart, he couldn't read anything, he didn't say anything else, just to discern who led the enemy, it would be more troublesome. After all, it is indeed better to be able to read!

And the soldiers of the new army under the stage were enthusiastically boiled by Emperor Chongzhen's last sentence. Of course they want to be generals, but the question is, can they? At least in the past, they didn't dare to imagine!

Of course, there are really some people in this new army who have been thinking about being soldiers and just making ends meet. As soon as these people heard the emperor's words at this time, their eyes lit up, they opened wide, and they secretly shouted in their hearts: Yes, this is in the new army, of course you want to be a general!

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he nodded to Gao Shiyue, the eunuch who was waiting on the side. So, Gao Shiyue immediately ordered his subordinates to say a few words, and then the drum sound of "dong dong dong" sounded. The drum beat was slow, powerful, and rhythmic, and the sound was heard far away.

Cao Bianjiao blinked, didn't know what was going on, looked at the emperor's gaze, and turned his head to look in the direction where the imperial driver stayed. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, your jaw almost falls to the ground.

Not only him, but also other soldiers of the new army, as well as Shang Shu Shen Yongmao and others from the military department on the stage, after looking over there, they were all surprised.

Shen Yongmao even thought that the emperor has been tinkering in the palace these days, so it won't be this, right?
