"Kill it, hang outside the gate of Shanhaiguan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the council hall, Xiao Ming's cold voice was like the cold wind in winter.

As soon as his words fell, there was a brief silence in the courtroom, and the ministers exchanged glances with each other, followed by a high-pitched "Banzai".

Xiao Ming looked down at the monarch and ministers, and after a little thought, he understood why the hundred officials reacted like this.

Only six years ago, the Great Yu State was in a humble position of being a vassal to the Golden Horde, and anything in the Great Yu State and the Golden Horde was an extremely important national matter.

Especially in the case of the capture of the Golden Horde generals, often in order to avoid aggravating the conflict, they will send all the Golden Horde generals back.

But now he treats the barbarians like the Golden Horde disposed of the captured generals of the Great Yu State back then, and it can be said that he does not give the Golden Horde any face at all.

After all, it is forgivable to fight to death on the battlefield, and he is now directly killing prisoners.

Such an act was a naked humiliation to the Golden Horde, and it was bound to provoke their wrath.

However, if it had been before, there might have been opposition in the court, but in the two years since he ascended the throne, he has established his absolute authority in the Dayu Kingdom and the court through continuous victories in foreign wars.

Because in the minds of the ministers, he is now the star guiding the way of the Great Yu Kingdom, and as long as they diligently carry out any orders he gives, they can move towards revival.

It is precisely because of the slight collision between these two mentalities that the ministers let out a deafening shout after hesitation.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Ming looked at the ministers.

To be an emperor is to hold power firmly in his own hands, and he comes from modern times, with a more long-term vision than the Great Chongqing Kingdom or even the West.

He knows very well that what he is doing now is in line with the times, and what he is doing is the opposite.

decided on the matter of the barbarian captives, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to announce his retirement from the dynasty, but kept Niu Ben and Luo Quan.

After the ministers dispersed, Xiao Ming said to the two: "The two generals used to be the ministers of the humerus of the Great Yu Kingdom, and now they are still my right-hand men. “

When Niu Ben and Luo Quan heard this, they bowed down and said, "It is our duty to pacify the threat in the north for the Great Yu Kingdom. “

Hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded.

In fact, he asked the two to come over this time for the last step of military reform, and now the British and French are interfering in the internal affairs of Dayu.

It may not be long before these Western powers go to war, so the most crucial step in achieving victory now is to implement the reform of the modern army.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Today, I left the two generals for the sake of military reform, in my opinion, the military system of the Great Chongqing State is no longer suitable for the command of firearms troops, so I am ready to implement a new army system before the war......"

Then, Xiao Ming explained his thoughts to the two in detail.

Combined with the structure of the modern army, Xiao Ming planned to set up corps, corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies in the infantry.

One of the corps consisted of two corps, one corps consisting of four infantry divisions, two cavalry regiments, each with a corps commander.

Divisions, on the other hand, have two or three brigades, and the brigades have two regiments, each with three battalions, each with nine companies.

A company of 120 men, and this 120 men is the standard equipment of an array of musketeers, so that the firearms unit can be handy in command.

In the past, his old establishment was enough to be used in the country of Dayu, and there was no need, but now that the country of Dayu was about to embark on the road of overseas colonization, he did not want to be at a disadvantage in any way.

In addition to the army, the cavalry also adhered to the corps-division-brigade-regiment-company system, and the artillery system was changed accordingly.

According to his idea, a battalion was equipped with eight field guns, a regiment was equipped with twenty-four field guns, a division was seventy-two field guns, and an army had two hundred and eighty-eight field guns.

When Xiao Ming was explaining, the effect of the science and technology spar made the two of them understand this preparation more clearly, and even said the advantages of this preparation.

Although Niu Ben and Luo Quan felt weird, they also thought it was true, and the military system of the Great Yu State in the past was prepared for cold weapon warfare.

Because what both sides need is a large number of battle formations.

With the installation of conscription muskets, such a flexible establishment is more suitable for the flexible application of battlefield tactics.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, what will be the official positions of Lu Fei, Luo Hong and others?" Niu Ben asked.

Xiao Ming took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The corps commander is a position that will only be established during the war, as for Lu Fei, Ye Qingyun, and Luo Hong are now the same as the army commander, and now the number of soldiers under his command is roughly the same, as for the insufficient, it will be supplemented in this recruitment." “

Luo Quan said: "In this way, the generals under their command will be given official positions according to divisions, regiments, battalions, and companies. ”

"Exactly." Xiao Ming said.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan glanced at each other, in fact, after the army of the Great Yu Kingdom innovated in weapons, they were already mentally prepared for other changes in the army.

Moreover, in the military academy, they also learned about the current establishment of the Western army, and the establishment proposed by Xiao Ming now is generally not much different from the Western army.

"Your Majesty, the last general will start preparing for this matter when he returns to the Military Aircraft Department." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming nodded, and then he looked at Luo Quan, who had just been activated, and his identity was still a little embarrassing.

I am afraid that some people will have opinions when he mentions him to the Ministry of Military Aircraft, after all, Luo Quan has not participated in the war in the past few years.

So he said: "In addition to the need to reform the establishment of the army, there is also a new official office under the military aircraft department, called the General Staff." “

"Staff?" Niu Ben looked puzzled.

In fact, the prototype of the General Staff appeared in Prussia in the middle of the 17th century.

At that time, the Swedish Army in Europe was highly regarded by various countries, so when Prussia formed its troops, it imitated the formation of a quartermaster headquarters, which was the original General Staff.

At that time, the main responsibilities of the Quartermaster General Department were to undertake the tasks of engineering service, the selection of marching roads and camps, and the construction of positions.

By the time of Frederick the Great, the Quartermaster General's Department had added the task of giving directions to the marching troops and drafting reports and documents for the generals.

During the First Partition of Poland and the War of the Bavarian Succession in 1778, the Quartermaster General's Office accepted the planning and leadership of the reserve forces until 1817, when the Prussian Quartermaster's Department was officially renamed the General Staff.

Although Xiao Ming was now in the eighteenth century, Europe at this time was much more cultural and military, so in his opinion, it was necessary to establish this staff to coordinate the actions of the army.
