Chapter 80 Reorganization
80 reorganized
(I'm sorry everyone, I have something to do when I go out today, so I'll change it first, and I'll make it up tomorrow, it's not easy to get a new book, so please ask for collection recommendation support!) )
When the New Year came, Li Zixiao made dumplings to eat with many brothers in the cottage, and the whole cottage was very lively on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Li Zixiao personally made everyone feel Li Zixiao's closeness to them.
Of course, Li Zixiao did not forget the thirty brothers sent to the 'White Tiger Village', they had to be stationed in the 'White Tiger Village' for the time being, and they could not come back, but Li Zixiao still asked people to send dumplings, pork and other food the next day, so that they could celebrate the New Year with confidence.
It can be said that this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner made the whole cottager people more supportive of Li Zixiao, because Li Zixiao made them see hope and hope that as long as they follow him, they can live a good life in the future.
These people are a group of desperate people who have been forced to leave their homes and flee from their homes, and now someone has given them hope and given them a dawn, how can they not firmly grasp it.
After the New Year passed, Li Zixiao immediately ordered the resumption of training, he knew that the Cai family was thinking about dealing with him all the time, and he didn't want to be slaughtered, so he wanted to train his subordinates stronger and wait for the Cai family's revenge to come to the door.
At the same time, Li Zixiao also felt that with the increasing number of his subordinates, the total number of people was nearly 350, and he needed to reorganize the team and re-divide the team to better command the operation, so Li Zixiao discussed the issue of team reorganization with Liu Chong, Wei Hong and others.
Li Zixiao also listened to the opinions of Yan Chongxi, who was born in the army, and understood that in this era, there is still a distinction between family soldiers, soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers in the army.
Needless to say, it was the general in this era who did not privately raise a group of family generals, and that was his most trusted subordinates, and they were also some of the most combat-effective soldiers, generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of these families was often much stronger than those soldiers.
Of course, most of these generals' means of adopting their families were to use themselves to deduct the food and salary allocated to the soldiers by their superiors, which was commonplace in the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the family members, the soldiers in the army are the main combat members in wartime, and they are used to cooperate with the main generals and family members to fight.
Needless to say, the auxiliary soldiers are auxiliary soldiers, most of whom are composed of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and when they go out with the army, they are mainly responsible for some miscellaneous work, such as raising horses, cooking, carrying water, etc.
The combat effectiveness of auxiliaries is much worse than that of war soldiers, and they are not rarely used for battle.
Li Zixiao somewhat understood what Liu Chong introduced to him in his previous life, and after he pondered it carefully, he felt that there were still a lot of things he could learn from.
For example, in the cottage soldiers, there is also a distinction between soldiers and auxiliaries, and the soldiers are mainly responsible for fighting in the future, and the daily training should be stricter, and the treatment is of course the best.
The auxiliaries are similar to the baggage soldiers, they are mainly responsible for logistics, but the training still has to continue, but it will be less intense than the soldiers, after all, sometimes in the event of an emergency, the auxiliaries also have to fight.
Li Zixiao didn't want a group of auxiliaries under his command to come out and do some work, and he didn't even dare to take weapons, such auxiliaries were not as good as a group of peasants, and the auxiliaries should also be used as soldiers when necessary.
Soldiers and auxiliaries can be distinguished, but Li Zixiao must not do anything, it is estimated that if Li Zixiao really does this, his team will soon fester, like the Ming army, and the army will soon lose its combat effectiveness.
According to Li Zixiao's plan for building the army, his team must ensure that everyone is united in their hearts and minds and restrain everyone with strict discipline, so that everyone is a combat member who can go into battle to kill the enemy in wartime.
He does not need a small number of family members to protect his personal interests, his team must be a whole, one is prosperous and one is lost, and everyone must obey the collective will and fight for the collective good.
Li Zixiao also decided that he must not let any small interest groups like generals and family members appear in his ranks, which will quickly breed corruption, and it is not something that Li Zixiao can tolerate just by deducting soldiers' salaries.
However, fortunately, at this time, Li Zixiao does not need to pay his subordinates, and under normal circumstances, those family members are also regarded as the general's guards, if Li Zixiao does not plan to let his subordinate leaders train family members, he needs to solve the problem of guards for them.
So, Li Zixiao remembered two very interesting positions in Huaxia in later generations, one was a service soldier and the other was a military policeman, the service soldier was responsible for the daily trivial affairs and security issues of the generals, and the military police was the supervising team on the battlefield.
And Li Zixiao plans to implement the service policy for his future generals, abolish the tradition of family members, and form a military police unit at the same time.
These orderlies are assigned to each of his leaders and generals as guards after the training, taking care of their daily lives and protecting the safety of their generals.
Anyway, Li Zixiao did not allow his generals to withhold soldiers' salaries, rather than letting these generals use the money and food he allocated to train their own families, it was better to let them engage in orderlies.
As for the gendarmerie, it is also to be engaged, the last time I fought with Liu Dabao, the role of the supervision team was still very deterrent for those recruits.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zixiao couldn't help but recognize the value of the existence of auxiliary soldiers, and in every team, the existence of such auxiliary members is indispensable.
And he can't guarantee that every one of his men is a qualified combat soldier, so he doesn't reject the problem of auxiliaries.
After all, there were similar auxiliary forces in the armies of later generations, such as transport troops, civilian personnel, and so on. 、
At present, it is impossible for him to divide the arms as clearly as the army of later generations, so for the time being, he can only divide the war soldiers and auxiliary troops, and the service soldiers plus a military police, a total of four arms, as the basic structure of his team.
After deciding, Li Zixiao immediately began to reorganize the three hundred or so people under his command, and he selected forty of the new and old members from these three hundred or so.
For various reasons, people who were not suitable to be members of the front-line operations were handed over to the management of Old Master Wei and Dong Zhuang, and they were temporarily used as auxiliaries.
They only need to be responsible for some cottage sundries in peacetime, and they can be responsible for transportation, cooking and other things when they go out to war, so that the rest of the people can concentrate on combat and training as much as possible.
But being made into auxiliaries does not mean that they are completely out of training, and for these auxiliaries, Li Zixiao also requires them to be trained.
It's just that in terms of training intensity, compared with the rest of the soldiers, it is only halved, and you still have to run and drill in the morning, at least you have to complete a trail run of about three kilometers.
In the morning, they also have to participate in formal queues and spear spurt training, so that when they really encounter the enemy, they will not become a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and this basic combat effectiveness still needs to be had.
The remaining 260 or so were all soldiers, and they were not responsible for other miscellaneous matters at all, except for those who took turns to guard the mountain pass every day, and all the rest had to undergo intensive training throughout the day.
As for the treatment of soldiers and auxiliaries, after thinking about it, Li Zixiao finally decided that from the end of the year, soldiers and auxiliaries will eat separately.
Soldiers can enjoy three meals a day, while auxiliaries and other personnel can only eat two meals a day, and the soldiers' meals are also rationed with some meat every few days, which is much better than the food of auxiliary soldiers.
Comparing the different responsibilities of soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, the different efforts made, and the different risks, there is no real fairness in this world, and it is always right to work more and more.
After all, when you are a soldier, you have to go to the battlefield to fight hard, and the auxiliary soldiers generally do not have to go into battle, and the amount of exercise of the auxiliary soldiers in terms of training is not as good as that of the soldiers, and the beatings are much less than that of the soldiers.
After thinking about this, those auxiliaries have no opinion at all, after all, although they only eat two meals a day, it is not easy for them.
At least these two meals, Li Zixiao also ensured that they had something to do, even if it was not as good as the treatment of soldiers, but compared to the previous work for the landlord and the old wealth, they were too much better than they could eat, and no one complained.
In this era, the common people were eating two meals a day, but the soldiers needed to endure high-intensity training, so he provided his subordinates with three meals a day, with occasional meat.
In this way, the soldiers can train better and be physically stronger, and at the same time, they will be very satisfied.
Li Zixiao divided the 240 soldiers equally among Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong, and Liu Chong, each team of 80 people, and these three people will be cultivated by him as henchmen in the future.
At the same time, the scouts were formed, and now they only need a total of four war horses in the cottage, but the scouts must be cultivated first, and the war horses will be there in the future, and a scout team of ten people will be formed.
The more than 40 people of the auxiliary soldiers were handed over to Master Wei and Dong Zhuang to be responsible, and as for the orderlies, Li Zixiao handed them over to Quartz, and selected his subordinates who were smart, smart, and good at martial arts for training.
After all, these orderly soldiers will protect and supervise his generals for him in the future, not only must be strong in martial arts, but more importantly, they must have high emotional intelligence, and follow their generals to know when to do something, what to watch, what to listen to, and so on.
Originally, Liu Chong was against the abolition of the family and the establishment of any orderly, but soon he realized the benefits of this method, and Li Zixiao was determined to implement it, so Liu Chong only agreed.
As for the gendarmerie, Li Zixiao didn't plan to do too much, after all, this kind of military is not popular with soldiers and generals at any time, and Li Zixiao only needs them to be responsible for himself.
And Li Zixiao also asked Zhang Ergouzi to set up an intelligence department, so that he also had an official addiction, and allocated him more than a dozen nimble men to be responsible for collecting surrounding intelligence for the cottage, especially the intelligence of the Cai family in the county seat recently.
At the beginning of the new year, Li Zixiao felt that the strength of his subordinates was getting stronger every day, and he looked at the more than 200 veterans who had seen blood on the school field sweating like rain every day and training hard, this is the capital he has gained a foothold in the late Ming Dynasty!
