Chapter 784: The Formation Starts with the Guards
Since it's not really advanced, there's always a concrete embodiment, right?
Yes, this specific embodiment is mainly reflected in three points.
First, the establishment of the forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty today is completely reasonable and rearranged in strict accordance with the system set by Liu Xing at the beginning. If the third-generation firearms are issued, the forbidden army can be used at any time and exert its authority at any time.
However, among the border troops, especially the patrol troops, according to the report that Liu Xing received some time ago when he was by the Surabaya River, there was still some confusion among many grassroots ranks.
The reason for that confusion is mainly caused by the lack of talent reserves of the original generals. In the border army, it is not uncommon for a team officer to serve as a battalion officer for a long time. In the patrol battalions, the patrol battalions in many county towns have always been supervised by a military attache from the ninth grade.
The biggest problem in the allocation of personnel is that one battalion in the border army is often overstaffed, and it is said that one battalion, and now many battalions under Yang Yizhong and Wu Yu are eight or nine hundred men.
The battalion was an important part of Liu Xing's construction of the basic structure of the Northern Korean army. According to the military system formulated by Liu Xing at the beginning, the full strength of a battalion is 500 people, and the upper limit of each team under the battalion is 120 people.
But now? If a battalion does not increase its official positions but has so many soldiers, it will definitely lead to insufficient leadership to control the battalion due to the large number of soldiers, which will lead to many drawbacks.
Those shortcomings seem to be minor problems now, but if there is a big change in the future, the situation of "a thousand miles of embankment destroyed in an anthill" is a little more important for the epidemic to make up its mind to carry out in-depth reforms.
On this point, Liu Xing made a targeted in-depth customization: strictly control the number of soldiers, strengthen the system of soldiers and generals. Excess troops will be dispatched within a time limit, and the border troops will be reduced to patrol defense, and patrol defense will be eliminated and repatriated. The best of the best are selected, and the elite soldiers are strong.
Second, the lack of talent reserves for generals and assistants is the main reason why there are too many generals and few soldiers in the border army and patrol battalions, which affects the combat effectiveness. In response to this, Liu Xing decided to vigorously promote the system of acting officials at all levels.
In the army of today's Northern Dynasties. There are still many veterans who have come from the previous dynasty, and who have come from the era when Zhang Suo, Zong Ze, and Liu Tao recruited "daring soldiers" on a large scale.
Many of those veterans can be compared with Yue Fei and Zhang Xian in terms of qualifications, and they are also very sufficient in terms of combat experience. Although he is deficient in his ability to lead troops, he is still fully competent as a grassroots general who is excessively involved in the period of in-depth reform.
Moreover, at the request of Yue Fei, Liu Jian and others, when Liu Xing formulated the new military system, many of the salaries of the soldiers and Cao had even exceeded the team of their team.
Take a high military salary. Doing soldier's work. This situation has existed for more than half a year, and Liu Xing decided to no longer raise those experienced and capable veterans who cannot become generals because they are unwilling to go to the academy.
The specific method that Liu Xing decided to implement was as follows: the commander of the battalion below the first-class Cao was selected by the commander of the battalion to be attached to the acting team, and the first-class Cao officer below was selected by the supervisor of the battalion to act for the positions and team leaders of the various posts in the battalion. Below the first-class Cao Chang, he can directly serve as the battalion attached to the battalion and the head of the standard.
Driving ducks to the shelves and driving veterans to pick up the burden, Liu Xing knew that he had to give them benefits, otherwise it would backfire if he didn't do well.
Therefore, while Liu Xing decided to drive the veteran oil to carry the burden, he also decided to issue a military order: all those who have served in the military for more than three years will be sent to the military academy without examination. Those who have served in the military for more than three years will be exempted from the examination and sent to the martial arts academy for further study.
Veterans are the wealth of the army, especially veterans who have experienced the pain of losing the country and the baptism of bloody battles.
But it's uneducated, it's terrible. Veteran oils will never become a qualified officer if they don't study. The talent reserve of the general is insufficient, and Liu Xing decided to use this talent base, which is actually already in place, to solve it by means of free examination and guarantee......
Third, strengthen the structure and reorganize the Privy Council.
Today's Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be very advanced in terms of institutional structure, and it can not only do things without overcrowding, but also work efficiently. But in Liu Xing's feeling, he is not able to keep pace with the times enough and cannot meet his own requirements.
How can you meet your requirements? Liu Xing made a series of new rules for the compilation.
To grasp the army, the morale of the army, and the morale, Liu Xing understands that he must start with the ******** first, which is what a high-ranking person should understand. A country's armed forces must first have a truly loud and unified name. That unified name. That's the ********.
With this in mind, Liu Xing decided to give the army of the Northern Dynasty a new name, the Three Armies of the Great Song Dynasty.
What are the Royal Trinity? That is, the names are officially set separately. Both internal and external unification began to be renamed the Great Song Royal Army, the Great Song Royal Navy and the Great Song Royal Air Force.
The name Navy was a novelty among the divisions, and the name of the Air Force surprised him even more.
But there was no opening to interrupt Liu Xing's explanation, because he was also a long-time military person, and he literally immediately understood that the navy was a naval division, and the air force was naturally the soldiers on those airships and flying kites......
Officially define the three royal armies, so how to deal with the distinction between the border army and the forbidden army? Liu Xing's idea was to abolish the distinction between the forbidden army, the border army, and the patrol army.
After the forbidden army, all the troops were under the control of the Royal Guard. The name was changed to the Imperial Guard, and it was no longer sent to the local area, but was only responsible for the affairs of the Su'an guard in the Gyeonggi area. In the event of a major battle, the Royal Guard will also become the most elite mobile force in the future, ready to be sent to the front line at any time.
The establishment of the Royal Guard will also be renovated, reorganized and expanded. The existing Inner Court Guards, North Guard Tiger Ben, South Guard Wuwei, East Guard Xuanwei, and West Guard Fenwei were retained. Abolish the original establishment of the outer court guards.
On the basis of the five retained armies, the new military guards before the selection of the front, the armed guards after the entrapment, the left wing left armed guards, the right wing right armed guards and the Zhongxing Zhongwu guards were newly established.
The Fifth Army and the Fifth Army of the Armed Guard will form a three-tiered defense system inside and outside Gyeonggi, and it will be ordered to select the best and best soldiers from all armies in other provinces within half a year to complete the full buildup.
The duties of the Armed Guards were different from those of the Upper Fifth Army, which was still responsible for the two lines of defense of the imperial palace and the capital. On weekdays, the Wuwei Army is stationed in the five newly built battalions on the outskirts of Beijing, and it is the team of the Gongwei Beijing Division.
In the event of a major battle, the Armed Guards are the vanguard of the Royal Guard, ready to go out to fight with the leading generals appointed by the center.
Therefore, it seems that although the discipline of the Fifth Army is slightly higher than that of the Armed Guards, it is still the Armed Guards who can really be pulled out at any time in the future.
The current situation of who can go to the battlefield to fight and who can soar determines that in the future, the Fifth Army will never dare to despise the Armed Guards, and the Armed Guards will not dare to make a mistake against the Fifth Army because of their restraints and duties.
In this way, the Great Song Dynasty Royal Guards will not have the situation that the forbidden army looks down on the border army, the box army and the township soldiers in the past, which is more conducive to the unity within the guards. (To be continued.) )
