After recovering Hedong, Shangdang, Hongnong, Luoyang, and Hanoi, it was incorporated and reorganized, including the Baibo Army, Hedong Green Forest, Shangdang Army, Hanoi Army, and Luoyang Garrison, and also absorbed many displaced people.

The number of troops doubled, but problems also arose.

The quality of the incorporated contingent is uneven, and the strength of combat effectiveness varies.

There is no shortage of people who command the C training of the subordinates, each with their own strengths, such as Tan Daoji, who is good at C training formation formation; Lin Chong is good at training firearms.

Under their C training, the combat effectiveness of all units has been significantly improved. However, the problem remains.

With the continuous expansion of the territory and the increasing number of troops, especially after entering the open Central Plains, large-scale battles will inevitably be avoided.

In large-scale campaigns, it is important to pay attention to the coordination and cooperation of various departments.

Especially in this era when the means of communication are extremely backward, the coordination of various ministries is a major problem.

The biggest difficulty lies in the fact that in the course of the campaign, there will be a change of control and subordination of troops.

Take actual combat as an example: in the battle to capture Hangu Pass and Luoyang, Qilang Yan's heirs were originally controlled by Wang Meng and Fu Youde. When he was ordered to cross the Bear's Ear Mountain, he detoured back to the east of Hangu Pass and the west of Luoyang, and joined the Tandao Jibu.

During that time, Shichiro Yanhebu was controlled by Tandoji.

Wang Meng, Fu Youde, Tan Daoji, and there is no need to question the ability to command troops, but they are different in command methods and habits.

The differences in these methods and habits may seem insignificant, but in fact they are major hidden dangers.

In the coordinated exercise of various ministries just underway, Xu Da ordered Qilang's Yanhei unit to "fall short," and Gao's department to "set up an ambush to trap the enemy."

It was the Shichiro Yanhei Department who was responsible for luring the enemy, and the Gao Gao Department set up an ambush to break the enemy.

However, during the exercise, there was a problem with the connection between the two divisions, and after the Shichiro Yanji division lured the enemy to the designated location, the Gao Gao division had not yet completed the ambush.

The reason for the mistake, in addition to the factors that led the Qilang Department to lure the enemy a little earlier and the Gao Department to set up an ambush a little slowly, the more important reason was that each general. Commands are not understood in the same way.

For example, the distance of the enemy and the distance of the ambush.

This situation, if it happens in a campaign, is very likely to lead to the defeat of a campaign.

The problems highlighted in the exercise are not limited to this.

It all boils down to the same problem. It reflects the issue of military law.

The so-called military law includes not only the narrow law of rewards and punishments, but also all kinds of orders, regulations, formations, tactics, and so on. It can be divided into troops and effectively coordinated operations.

……

Wang Meng has realized the seriousness of the problem.

While the various units were resting and recuperating in training, General Wang Meng revised the original regulations of the Bingzhou Army in view of the problems that arose in the battles of Hedong, Hongnong, Hanguguan, Hanoi, and Luoyang.

The regulations before the annexation of the state army were formulated by Su Dingfang. Because the number of troops at that time was only a few thousand, military law was relatively simple.

More regulations are still implemented, and the famous military work of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the "Sima Law" compiled by the famous general Tian Sui Tho.

General Wang Meng merged the military law of the state and the "Sima Law" to revise a set of independent military laws.

After sorting out the military law, it was first submitted to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang studied carefully.

Liu Mang carefully read "Sima Law". The "Sima Law" covers a wide range of matters and has clear provisions on all affairs in the military.

And Wang Meng sorted out the military law, and deleted the outdated part of the "Sima Law".

For example, delete the "do not capture Ermao" and other regulations, and do not capture the enemy's elderly veterans.

At the same time, Wang Meng also reinterpreted and annotated some of the contents of the Sima Law.

For example, "no more than a hundred steps to run, no more than three rounds" was originally interpreted as the etiquette of war.

Wang Meng reinterpreted it as "It's hard to lure if you don't go far." If you can't get it, it's hard to fall."

Give this passage a new meaning, and make it into the meaning of luring the enemy and preventing being lured by the enemy.

Provisions are also made for arrays and weapon matching.

The original large array will be the mainstay. Adjust to a smaller, more mobile and flexible array.

The original tactics of fighting with one blow and one charge to decide the outcome have been supplemented with a more resilient combat mode. When facing a weak enemy, you can still win with one hit. When encountering a strong enemy, the troops can advance and retreat and expand and contract, and contain them in a roundabout way. Fight the enemy.

In terms of rewards and punishments, uniform provisions have also been made.

After Wang Meng's revision, the original 155 articles of the "Sima Law" were reduced to 10 articles, so as to facilitate the memory of lieutenant generals and colonels.

In order to make it easier for low-ranking officers and soldiers to memorize them, Wang Meng also revised five articles and single articles on the basis of ten articles.

……

Liu Mang was full of emotion.

I have to admit that Wang Meng's intelligence of more than 100 and his ability to dominate nearly 100 are really not blown!

Although he only read it thoroughly, Liu Mang's understanding of commanding the army and marching and fighting has been improved to a higher level.

If this set of military laws is carried out and strictly enforced, the combat effectiveness of the army will certainly be greatly enhanced!

couldn't help but read it again, Liu Mang ordered someone to call Wang Meng and add the unclear content overnight.

What has not yet been clarified is mainly the setting of the rank and title of the generals in the army.

Rank and title are not only a matter of the level of military management, but also a question of reward.

Set a reasonable level, the soldiers have been promoted, have a goal to strive for, invisibly, can improve the battle, enhance the combat effectiveness of the whole army.

Liu Mang and Wang Meng discussed that the current level and title should not be adjusted too much, so as not to be confused. At the same time, it is necessary to consider not to conflict with the title of the old imperial court.

After the adjustment, the ranks and titles of the lower military positions will still be the titles of the Wushi Division, and the titles of the generals at the level of the general will be slightly adjusted.

From the school captain, the order is: Chengguan school captain, county school captain, county deputy general, county general, north, southeast, west state general, state deputy governor, state governor.

Further up, higher-level titles are not listed. But Liu Mang already had a plan in his heart, and when the territory was expanded, he would set up a theater governor to control the military affairs of the state.

Considering that some generals in the army, such as Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing and other fierce generals, are brave and good at fighting, but their ability to lead the army is slightly weaker.

Set up the name of the captain and the name of the general separately, in order: two-word captain, single-word captain, double-word captain, single-word captain, two-character general, single-word general.

These fierce generals are awarded with words such as bravery, fierceness, might, martial arts, decisiveness, and daring, or single words, or a combination of double words.

Although the double-character name sounds more imposing, in this era, there is a saying that "a single word is positive, and a double name is not positive", and the name is more respected with a single word.

The various departments of the Su Guard still maintain the original titles of captains and generals. The commander of the guard can also be awarded the title of captain or the title of general.

The level title is drafted, and the ugly time has passed.

Almost all night, Liu Mang and Wang Meng did not feel the slightest tiredness, and they both felt very excited.

The two simply stayed up all night and drew up a draft for the awarding of military ranks.

When the busy day is over, the sky is already dawning.

"I'll ask Uchiko to cook some porridge and rice, and Jing Luo will take a bite here. When the day dawns, I will go to Mr. Changsun, and if he has no big opinions, we will award the title and flag on a certain day. ”

The conferral of military rank is similar to the promotion of an officer. The eldest grandson, Wuji, is good at scheming and must listen to his opinion.

"My lord, awarding titles and flags, is it low-key, or is it a big noise?"

"We are orthodox emperors, and we are Han officials and soldiers, so there is no need to keep a low profile. After dawn, you go to Li Gongzi to study how to award the flag by awarding the title, create a big momentum, and boost the morale of the army. This new military law is called the "Great Han Military Law". ”

"Good. The subordinates are going to find Li Gongzi! ”

Wang Meng was about to get up as he spoke, but was pulled by Liu Mang.

"Jing Luo, Li Gongzi has already got married, is it appropriate for you to knock on someone's door early in the morning?"

Wang Meng smiled embarrassedly: "I was negligent. ”

"You, it's time to find a woman to start a family. But first, you'll have to fix that raunchy problem. ”

"It's hard to change......"

The two laughed at each other...... (To be continued.) )
