The easiest way to quickly form the organizational strength and cohesion of the team is undoubtedly to work and study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is working and studying at the same time, getting familiar with each other and cooperating with each other in work and study, and everyone has changed from strangers to close comrades-in-arms. This effect cannot be achieved by relying on small favors and small favors to form a gang, and the small group will never be able to form a joint force of the entire team.

What Xu Ping really wanted to do was actually to train middle- and lower-level officers in the form of a teaching team, but now there is a shortage of middle- and high-ranking officers in the army, let alone instructors, and the training team cannot be organized.

If the ratio of officers and men in the army is too high, there will be great financial pressure and chaotic management, and if it is too low, it will not be able to manage it, and many things that should be managed cannot be managed. Both are equally harmful, and both have a significant impact on combat effectiveness.

The management method of the forbidden army is that only the first rank is considered an officer, and it is a miscellaneous rank, and only when it is a commander can it be regarded as a regular officer, the ratio of officers and soldiers has reached a jaw-dropping level.

Later generations often talk about the "three redundancies" of the Song Dynasty, generally saying "redundant officials", "redundant soldiers", and "redundant expenses", but in fact, the three redundancies in this era are not so, such as Song Qi said that the three redundancies are not box officials, chamber troops and monks. The original meaning of redundant words is first useless, followed by more, more is secondary, and useless is harmful. Song Qi's three redundancies obviously really grasped the original meaning of the uselessness of the word "redundancy", and later generations always piled up materials from many sources, and they have digressed for thousands of miles, and they don't know what to do.

At least in the era in which Xu Ping lived, judging from the ratio of officials and people, the proportion of officials, and the proportion of officers and soldiers, there were far from many officials, and the harm was redundancy, that is, there were too many people who had officials and did not care about things. On the one hand, a large number of officials do not do anything, and on the other hand, a large number of affairs are not managed, and can only be left to their own devices or pushed to petty officials, which is redundant officials.

In the past, Xu Ping's solution to redundant officials in the Third Division was to add new positions in the newly established economic institutions such as banks, sugar cane affairs, field affairs, and companies, so that the non-official officials had something to do. Now for the army, this method is useless, because there are not too many officers in the army, but too few. The distribution of money and logistical supplies must depend on local state and county officials, and in the capital, they must also rely on the three divisions, otherwise the officers and soldiers will not even know where to get rations. Military training, organization and discipline, equipment maintenance, intelligence gathering, and other life-and-death matters for the military all depend on one or two commanders, and they cannot be managed at all, and can only be left to their own devices. It is said that the discipline of the forbidden army is lax, the training is insufficient, and it cannot fight, and the board cannot only hit the commander-in-chief, and they are not three-headed and six-armed, and one person can manage the eating, drinking, and ideological discipline of hundreds of people.

For this army, the biggest problem Xu Ping faced was the lack of officers, which was extremely scarce. In his previous life, Xu Ping remembered that a great man said that the most valuable thing in the army is the cadres, and as long as the skeleton of the cadres is still there, the army can be formed quickly. And the current forbidden army, that is, the skeleton has been removed, it seems to be huge, but it is actually powerless.

The selection and training of subordinate officers is to increase the number of professionals in the armed forces and to supplement the functions that were previously lacking. The general training of junior officers is to adapt them to the new organizational structure and prepare them for war. After the addition of bureaucratic officers to the army, a large number of affairs were no longer left to their own devices, and the role of the commander-in-chief was no longer to maintain the ranks, but to learn to fight, especially to fight big battles. What the forbidden army lacks most now is the ability to fight big battles.

Under the rule of Qinzhou, there were many settlements and the situation was complicated, but since the founding of the country, it has maintained a good situation. Although there were small twists and turns in the middle, the imperial court has always been firmly in control of the situation. Of course, there are many reasons, but the most important point is that although there are many rebels under the rule, they all go their own way, and even if there is a rebellion, it is a small-scale battle. Skirmishes were what the forbidden army was best at, and in the face of the small fall under Qinzhou, it was almost never defeated in the past few decades. Compared with the forbidden army faced by the party, it is almost two worlds. It's not that the combat power of the army is different, but that the enemy is different.

If Xu Ping wants to open up outward, it is not enough to rely on small-scale battles, he must have the ability to fight big battles. If it is still according to the previous organizational structure, no matter how much effort Xu Ping puts in, it will be difficult to meet this requirement.

War is a highly complex operation that requires a high level of organizational skills and discipline from the participants. Scientific decision-making is based on a large amount of intelligence gathering and accumulation of experience, rather than relying on a whim after reading a military book. To complete such a complex assignment, it is inevitable that a large number of professionals will be involved, which is why Xu Ping wants to supplement the army with his assistants.

Xu Ping told several of his subordinate generals bitterly that he didn't know how many times he had told this truth, but where was the change of concept so easy? Although they resolutely carried out Xu Ping's order, they still didn't understand it in their hearts, and even some didn't think so. Wouldn't it be better to recruit more soldiers with this money? But they don't know that if their command ability cannot be reached, no matter how many soldiers are recruited, it will be useless, and useless soldiers are redundant soldiers. Not only is it not beneficial, but it is harmful.

Looking at Gao Daquan and then at Jingtai, Xu Ping said: "Since you arrived in Qinzhou, you have been staying in the barracks, and you may feel a little depressed. I tell you, don't have this kind of thought, and endure the loneliness of this time. The most important thing is to know what to do now, starting with you and continuing with everyone in the military. Staying in the barracks now is not that there is nothing to do, on the contrary, there are so many things to do, and a few months is simply not enough, and there is no time for me! ”

Gao Daquan said: "What the marshal said is very true, and there are not a few people in the army who think like this now. It was a long way from the capital to here, and the army did not know how much hardship it had gone through, and it abandoned its wife and children, thinking that it was going to expand the war when they arrived here. As a result, after arriving at the place, he has been in the barracks, and in addition to practicing archery and horse arrays, he has nothing to do with building a house and learning to read and write, which has nothing to do with the end of the war. If this goes on for a long time, it is inevitable that the morale of the military will fluctuate. ”

Xu Ping said to Jingtai: "Zhou Qing, you are the deputy commander of the capital, I once made it clear, now the deputy commander in the army is no longer the same as before, only as the backup of the commander of the capital, everything is the final say of the military master." In the army, all the money, food, discipline, popular support, and even military exploits, promotions, rewards, and so on, the deputy commander must be involved, especially the first few items, which must be in charge of the deputy commander. People's instability is exactly what you should manage. Why should the supplementary assistant be able to read and write? It is because they can understand military orders and know people's hearts. Junior generals and non-commissioned officers have doubts about what they are going to do now, and you have to organize people to explain it to them. ”

Jingtai hesitated for a moment before he said: "I naturally remember what the festival commander said, but how to say it?" It's a bit hard to do. ”

"Do you find it hard to do? It's okay, wait a few days for Sang to deploy there to be some eyebrows, you can go over and see how they do it. For example, when I entered the barracks, there were a lot of wooden planks on the side of the road with words written on them. So does everyone in the army, including the groom and the man, know what the words are written on it and what it means? Why are you writing these? What is it written to let the people who see it learn? Have you organized people to preach? It's the easiest thing to do. To be more complicated, have military law and military discipline organized people to preach to generals and non-commissioned officers at all levels? Can they recognize the text of military law? Do you know what it means? Do you know what you should and shouldn't do in the military? Do you know what you will be rewarded for doing and what you will be punished for? You see, it's not that there's nothing to do, it's that there's so much to do that you can't do at all. Therefore, there are still too few generals and colonels in the army, and they can only abolish many things that should be done. These things seem to be inconsequential, but in fact the combat power of the army is lost little by little. ”
