The effect of [Hundred Holy Lands] to improve NPC qualifications is slowly becoming prominent in the army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Sun Chuanlin, Shao Bu, Sun Tengjiao, Zhao Yan, Liao Kai and other local generals broke through the barriers to high-level generals, which seemed insurmountable before, but now they no longer exist.
In the future, Shanhai City will usher in a large number of local senior generals.
The position of division commander no longer has to be held by the historical military in the future. In the future expansion of Shanhai City, the most difficult problem of senior military generals has been solved.
In addition, with the operation of the Army's Lecture Hall, when the first batch of cadets graduate at the beginning of this year, a large number of professional officers, including logistics officers, clerks, and staff officers, will join the various master regiments.
In the future, every division and regiment will be able to fight independently.
Replenishing troops, expanding garrison divisions, and reorganizing the Leopard Tao Regiment will consume more than 100,000 prisoners of war, and nearly 100,000 prisoners of war are waiting for reorganization.
Among the 100,000 prisoners of war, after removing the wounded and unqualified soldiers, and then removing the urban defense troops prepared for Zhaoqing County, there were roughly more than 65,000 people left, which was enough to reorganize a legion.
Ouyang Shuo did not choose to reorganize a new legion, but to expand the existing three legions. The current corps consists of four divisions, each with a strength of 13,500 men, for a total of 54,000 men.
The legion is positioned to be able to deal with a big war on its own. However, according to the current development of the war situation, 50,000 troops are no longer enough to influence the situation on the battlefield.
One [SAARC] can easily gather an army of 200,000.
Therefore, it is imperative to expand the corps.
Ouyang Shuo's decision to expand the corps from four divisions to five divisions is also in line with the progressive relationship of the Shanhai City army based on five. Then for each regiment, a direct brigade is equipped.
As a result, the strength of the legion increased from 54,000 to 70,000, an increase of 16,000.
An elite army of 70,000 is enough to deal with a regional operation.
If the three legions need to complete the expansion, they will need 48,000 men, which is equivalent to one legion.
After the expansion of the corps, it is necessary to appoint three division commanders.
Ouyang Shuo's principle was to promote as many generals as possible from among those who had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield. Therefore, the two cavalry generals, Shao Bu and Sun Tengjiao, naturally served as the division commanders of the Fifth Division of the Longxiang Legion and the Huben Legion respectively.
As for the division commander of the Fifth Division of the Leopard Tao Army, he was promoted from among the generals.
In this battle, 200,000 troops were surrendered, and only Di Qing was promoted. Such an obvious difference in treatment will inevitably chill the surrendering army. After weighing it, Ouyang Shuo decided to promote another general.
The specific candidate will be selected and decided by Du Ruhui.
After this round of reorganization, Shanhai City has added four garrison divisions and six field divisions at once, expanding the army by more than 130,000 people, close to the total number of previous armies.
The field army is the three full-fledged main battle corps, with a total of 210,000 troops. In addition, it is Ouyang Shuo's pro-army, the three thousand Divine Guards and the Praetorian Guard Division.
Of the remaining 17,000 prisoners of war, Ouyang Shuo all let them change jobs and become government officials.
Yes, it's a servant.
In addition to giving it the power to hear cases, the second step in upgrading the status of the Home Affairs Department is to equip it with a strong contingent of officials. The officers of the Department of Public Security are equivalent to the modern police force.
The duties of maintaining law and order, arresting thieves, and cracking down on crime are all entrusted to the Department of Public Security.
Therefore, it is very necessary to form a strong contingent of officials.
The Security Division, with sufficient servants, will be able to further release the shackles of the local city defense forces, allowing them to devote themselves exclusively to military operations and not to waste their armaments.
Ouyang Shuo's requirement for the local city defense force is to be able to enter the frontal battlefield at any time.
So far, Ouyang Shuo has made the best use of the 200,000 prisoners of war in this battle. The reason why a large number of surrendered soldiers were not dismissed and demobilized as was the case in the Battle of Leizhou was that in addition to the objective need to expand the army, there was another important factor, that is, the overall quality of these surrendered troops was relatively high.
200,000 prisoners of war, basically all Allied forces.
In this campaign, the allies were all elite troops from the territory, and the overall quality was good.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to waste it.
After all, if you rely on recruiting soldiers, then training, and then letting them experience the baptism of the battlefield, it will take at least three months, or even longer.
The reorganization of prisoners of war is a shortcut.
After a big battle, the army of Shanhai City was not only not weakened, but its strength increased greatly. Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo really had to thank the [Nanmeng] group of wealth boys.
The plan for the reorganization of the armed forces has been decided, and the next reorganization will naturally be carried out by the Military Affairs Administration, with the cooperation of the generals. This reorganization involved more than 100,000 troops and spanned all major army corps.
According to conservative estimates, it will not be possible to complete the preliminary reorganization in less than a month.
The Military Affairs Administration has a complete set of procedures for the reorganization of the armed forces.
The first step was to weed out the wounded and unqualified soldiers. These retired non-commissioned officers will be handed over to the Department of Household Registration of the Home Affairs Department, which will be responsible for arranging their work.
These soldiers are all good laborers, and the localities are rushing to ask for them.
Considering the population base of Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo instructed the Household Registration Department to try to reduce this group of soldiers and arrange them to work in Shanhai City to increase the population of Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo also thought that he could make Shanhai City reach the upper limit of population and be promoted to a second-level county as soon as possible.
The second step is to register and issue military registration for the remaining soldiers.
If the military status is certain, it can no longer be changed, and it will be officially integrated into the military system of Shanhai City, and it will no longer encounter discrimination, and you can also enjoy the bonus of territorial characteristics. Of course, if you escape, you will also be wanted by the whole territory.
It is a huge task to compile a register of 200,000 people and record their basic information such as their military types and specialties. With the Military Affairs Agency alone, it simply cannot be done.
In desperation, Du Ruhui could only borrow someone.
The first choice, of course, is the officials of the Department of Household Registration, which is their strength. In addition, Du Ruhui also went to the army martial arts hall and transferred a group of trainees to assist the Military Affairs Administration.
It can also be regarded as giving these trainees an opportunity to practice and let them get close to the troops.
The process of registration is also the process of talent selection.
As soon as Shanhaicheng expanded its ten divisions, it would need 50 brigade commanders and 250 battalion commanders. Some of these middle-level generals were promoted from the veterans of Shanhai City, and some were selected from the demoted generals.
After all, among the generals, there are still many excellent generals, and Ouyang Shuo can't turn a blind eye.
In the previous wars, each was only its own master.
Now that they are a family, Ouyang Shuo, the parent, naturally wants to try to treat everyone equally.
Of course, in key positions, it is still necessary to put Ouyang Shuo's trusted generals. The lineage he promoted will infiltrate the master regiments through the reorganization of the army.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also transferred a group of officers from the Shenwu Guard and Praetorian Guard divisions and sent them to each master regiment to serve as battalion commanders or brigade commanders.
Whether it is the Shenwu Guard or the Praetorian Guard Division, they are all descendants of Ouyang Shuo's lineage. The officers and men in the army were loyal to Ouyang Shuo and were desperate.
The decentralization of these officers is conducive to Ouyang Shuo's control of the army.
Ouyang Shuo has never relaxed his control over the army, which is the foundation of his life. It can also effectively prevent the generals in the army, who are arrogant and breed ambitions.
He always believes that it is normal for people to be ambitious.
As a superior, what Ouyang Shuo needs to do is to press this ambition in the cage from the very beginning, so that they have no chance to jump out.
Ouyang Shuo spent a huge amount of military pay to support a professional army, which was also based on this consideration.
The general who commands the army has neither the right to recruit troops nor the right to appoint and dismiss generals. Everything is in the hands of the Military Affairs Administration, that is, in the hands of Ouyang Shuo in disguise.
In addition, the salary standards of military non-commissioned officers are uniform and transparent. The general commander of the army cannot deduct military pay at all, and once he deducts it, the non-commissioned officers can find out and report it to the Department of Military Justice.
In this way, if any general dares to rebel, as long as Ouyang Shuo gives an order, the military order is directly transmitted to the brigade level, and that general will not be able to command the army under his command at all, so he can only obediently tie his hands and arrest him.
It is through all kinds of constraints that Ouyang Shuo can rest assured that the generals can fight outside independently. Limited by his identity, when he personally led his troops on the expedition, it was becoming less and less.
Even if Ouyang Shuo wanted to go on an expedition, the important ministers of the territory would also obstruct him.
Of course, after the reorganization of the army, Ouyang Shuo also had to go to various departments to inspect them one by one, show his face, and express his condolences to the officers and men in the army to show his existence.
This is called subtlety.
The third step in the reorganization is to concentrate on replenishing the troops of the master regiments. Generally speaking, the commanders of each division may, accompanied by the officials of the Military Affairs Administration, personally select the troops in accordance with the requirements of the various departments.
After all, the needs for soldiers are naturally different depending on the type of troops. Cavalry, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, archers, crossbowmen, etc., all have to be corresponded.
After the selection of each department, it is necessary to report to the Military Affairs Administration and apply for corresponding weapons and equipment, war horses and other military materials. After all, after the reorganization, the equipment will be configured according to the unified standards of Shanhai City.
This is also the biggest expense for the reorganization of the army.
The fourth and final step of the reorganization will not be able to participate in the general commander.
According to the unified arrangement of the princes, the Military Affairs Administration systematically reorganized the remaining soldiers and soldiers, and handed them over to each army corps as a whole with divisions and regiments as units.
In this process, the commanders of the divisions, including the commanders of the corps, could not intervene.
After the reorganization of the Military Affairs Department is completed, an order will be issued for each corps to go to the designated location to receive troops. In this way, the intervention of the commander-in-chief in the reorganization of the armed forces and the appointment and dismissal of personnel will be minimally reduced.
Of course, Bai Qi and others are not unable to do anything.
As commanders of the army, they are able to ask for credit for their subordinate generals and recommend excellent generals at the same time. (To be continued.) )
