Chapter 169 Change
"From the current situation, it is better for us to stop and rectify the troops. Although we have achieved great results in the Linbin City battle, we have also suffered a lot of damage. I heard Chairman Wang say just now that if Ren Yong was not so impulsive, the extra 3,000 martyrs could be avoided. Therefore, I think our military training level is far from enough. Now we can only increase the casualty rate when we go to the battlefield. Moreover, the Zhongzhou defense line is solid. If we do not have three times their strength, we must not act rashly." Seeing that everyone had not spoken for a long time, Wang Wen first expressed his opinion as the officer with the highest rank here.
After listening to his analysis, the officials present expressed their agreement. There was no way. Most of these people were the followers of Cao Bao. Although they were loyal, no one had actually led the troops to fight. Even being an officer was a matter of the past few months. Li Ming really couldn't find so many officers to accept the soldiers from Jiang and Hu, so he had to bring them up. Speaking of which, two or three months ago, they were all small soldiers. How could they expect them to come up with any good methods and suggestions? Li Ming just said that casually just now, and he didn't really expect them to bring any good suggestions to him. Sure enough, except for Wang Wen, others really couldn't say anything. It seems that Wang Wen was saying it very well. The officers in his army are too inexperienced, so it is necessary to train them well. Imagine that at that time
How did the army in the generation do? By the way, military academy! Li Ming was immediately excited. Although Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong could give them some tactical issues from time to time during training, it was not a systematic teaching after all. Joining himself to open a military academy and let Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong be responsible for the training of officers. Wouldn't that be twice the result with half the effort? Both of them had very rich war experience, and it was the most appropriate to let them be instructors. Moreover, they could make all the classic battle examples, tactics, combat experience, pros and cons, etc. from ancient and modern times, China and abroad into textbooks, and form a systematic training for them. In less than a year, a large number of officers with modern strategic and tactical ideas will emerge among these people. If they lead troops from time to time to gain some practical experience, the effect will be even more obvious. At that time, they would not have to worry about the arrangements of the leaders.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Ming's mouth, which made the officials who were very ashamed of not making suggestions very strange. Is the lord laughing at them? It doesn't look like it. The main attacker's smile was clearly very happy and proud, and it didn't look like it was ridiculous at all. So why did the lord laugh? These officials were completely confused.
"Wang Wen is right. We should not be so anxious at the moment. The general trend of the world is not clear and all major forces are ready to move. We will definitely suffer a loss when we go to the forefront of the storm too early. Let Li Jiao go and settle the score with him when the world is completely in chaos. Now, we just need to keep the Jiangzhou we have and take the opportunity to consolidate Huzhou. With the strong agricultural foundation of these two states, we are not afraid of anyone. Okay, you all go down and rest. I will pass on a new military order in a few days, and you will also have new tasks."
Everyone hurriedly said they had dismissed. Li Ming left behind the Saint Wang and Wang Wen and told them about their thoughts. After hearing this, the two people applauded repeatedly, and Wang Wen was the first to apply to study in the military academy.
Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Li Ming felt relieved. The remaining question was how to prepare. Wang Wen had already returned, so the defense of Linbin City could be handed over to him. It seemed that it was the most appropriate to remove Zhang Meng from the military academy. In this way, he would not get in touch with his most core secrets, and he could also play his role. He would kill two birds with one stone. Why would Li Ming not do it?
"How is the injuries of Yuchi Xiong and Cao Bao?" This is what Li Ming is most concerned about, especially Yuchi Xiong's injury. It can be said that Li Ming's lack of experience was caused by Li Ming's lack of experience. If it were not for his whim, he transferred Yuchi Xiong to Linbin City as the governor of Linbin City, the defense battle in Linbin City would not be so cruel, and these two people would not be seriously injured. Now both of them felt that they had let down Li Ming's trust, causing most of the defenders in Linbin City to be killed and injured, so they were very depressed. Li Ming went to relieve the situation several times but had no effect, which directly affected the recovery of the two people. Therefore, Li Ming was always caring about them.
The saint Wang Ji hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, lord, these two people are improving at the moment. After several persuasions from lord, the two people are no longer the same as before. Don't worry, Situ Yan personally is their attending doctor, so there should be no problem."
Li Ming nodded, and then said to the saint Wang: "Brother, you plan an order in my name to announce the establishment of the military academy, appoint Zhang Meng as the principal of the military academy, Yuchi Xiong as the vice principal of the military academy, Wang Wen and Cao Bao as part-time instructors, and write me in. I am the honorary principal and part-time instructor. I ordered the commander to immediately set up a military academy preparation team and strive to build the military academy in the shortest time. As for the address, I think it would be better to choose near the military academy, so that those officers can return to the military academy to manage after class."
The Saint King agreed, and took out a pencil and recorded it on the paper. At the end, he looked up and asked, "Which department is under the management of the military academy? The commander department? The Ministry of Education? The Prime Minister's Office? Or are you directly in charge of it?"
Li Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do this, the command center is temporarily in charge, and the financial and human resources support is first in charge. Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong and the others are temporarily awarded the rank of major general, which is two levels higher than Cao Bao, and should be used. In addition, I have been considering the issue of our military system in the past two days. Our tactical ideas are very advanced, but the military system is very backward and cannot cooperate well with our new tactics at all. Military system reform is imperative, so I want to change it together now.
Change. I will first say it orally, and then your commander will implement it and send these into words. First, all the original titles and responsibilities will be abolished and replaced by new positions. Second, the military rank system will not be changed, but will still match the positions after the reform. However, the military rank ranks are added to the five levels of the soldier class, namely the private, the corporal, the sergeant, the sergeant and the sergeant. Like the officer, soldiers with high ranks can lead the soldiers in the military rank, which can increase competition among the soldiers and prompt them to fight and train hard."
"In terms of military system, everything before was abolished and changed to a new system. First of all, the smallest system of the army is a squad, each team consists of five people, and the ranks of squad leader and deputy squad leader are set up in the squad leader, with the ranks of sergeant and corporal. Each three squad form a squad leader, and the ranks of squad leader and sergeant must have the ranks of ranks of non-commissioned officers and sergeant. Above the squad leader, each ten squad leader is a rank, and the ranks of platoon leader and deputy platoon leader are second lieutenants. Some squad officers with special performance can be promoted to deputy platoon leader, and the rank of lieutenant is officially established in half a year. Above the platoon, every five platoon is a company, and the rank of the company commander is a lieutenant. On top of the squad, three companies are a battalion, three battalions are a regiment, and three regiments are a division, and above the platoon is a leader of the medical god trainer is a leader.
, responsible for the management of the congregation and the development of new congregation. In principle, no interference in military affairs, but in which class of officials can be replaced when serious situations are found. A military staff member is set up above the battalion, and a chief of staff is set up at the division level. In addition, a logistics department and a staff department are set up in the command department, which are responsible for the management, support, transportation and combat plans of the army, the formulation of combat plans, and the transmission of combat orders. The original military intelligence department is still retained, and pay attention to communicating more with the security department. In terms of the configuration of the troops, each regiment must be composed of a heavy infantry battalion, a Ranger battalion and a heavy armored cavalry battalion, and an additional logistics company is equipped with a gate to be responsible for the team's logistics transportation and war material transportation tasks."
"At present, our troops have established three divisions, namely Cao Bao Division, Wang Yun Division and Zhuo Junhao Division. The ranks of the three division commanders must be colonels. Among them, Wang Yun Division, as a mobile force, requires the best soldiers and equipment to be equipped and ready to attack at any time; Cao Bao Division is responsible for defending Jiangzhou, and they will be scattered to various important cities in Jiangzhou for garrisoning, and the staffing needs to be combined with the old and new in order to be able to train better when performing garrisoning tasks. Zhuo Junhao Division is mainly responsible for the defense of Biquan Island and Fenshui Island, mainly new people, and needs to receive longer training on the island. During the organization, five thousand loyal and reliable people should be selected to supplement the security department of Malin as an advance army to receive Huzhou troops."
Li Ming said all the ideas and plans over the past few days in one breath, and then waited for the Saint Hand King to sort it out. To be honest, changing the organization is indeed a new tactical need on the one hand, and on the other hand, Li Ming is for his own convenience. Although he has been here for more than a year, Li Ming is still very unfamiliar with the various organizational positions, official positions and systems of the army. Modifying it into a familiar name and organization will help him better control and command the army. Therefore, Li Ming felt that although people might not be used to it at the beginning, this is a matter of one thing once and for all, and it is very beneficial to change it early.
In this way, another very large military reform began on Biquan Island. Unlike usual, the degree of this reform was very large. It can be said that it completely overturned the old military system and started again. This was unacceptable in the concept of officers and soldiers at that time. Fortunately, Li Ming's prestige and the efforts of the Saint King finally did not cause any major twists and turns. However, this time, the reform of the Saint King was so tired that he almost climbed down. He had to take care of the establishment of various institutions, the formulation of various rules, the appointment and removal of officers at all levels, the allocation of various troops, and even the distribution of soldiers, because Li Ming said that it was easy to put the best soldiers into Wang Yun's division, but it was more difficult to implement them in detail than climbing to the sky. No one admitted that he could not do it. This was Li Ming's army.
One of the major characteristics of this is that under the inspiration of his personal charm, the soldiers could really go through fire and water for him, so when I heard that the elite soldiers were selected, these people didn't want to let them go, which made the Saint King and the officers very troubled. In desperation, I had to arrange a competition specially. Except for the newly joined soldiers, almost all the veterans participated in the eight-day competition. After hearing about this news, Li Ming suddenly had a whim and took the subjects he had during training at the military base for a slight change. As a project of this competition, it became even more lively. The entire Biquan Island became a large sports field, and there was no empty space to have a crowd of people. In the end, Gao Wei sent a group of officials to temporarily solve the problem of insufficient referees.
Finally, the most difficult issue of selecting elite soldiers ended after eight days. The selected soldiers are indeed considered real elite soldiers. They are strong and have high martial arts skills. This is what they can stand out from 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers. In addition, all of these people have rich combat experience. Some of them are soldiers from the original Fenshui Island, and the other are the main force of this Linbincheng Battle. As for the earliest group of Cao Bao's personal soldiers, the lowest rank at this time was already a second lieutenant.
In order to ensure the supply of war preparation materials during the war, the newly established Logistics Department was repeatedly frustrated by the Ministry of Industry and the Prime Minister's Office. In the end, Chen Hao had no choice but to recruit 10,000 craftsmen from the island's residents, expanding the scale of the steel plant by five times and the scale of the mining farm by ten times, so as to store as much steel as possible. As for Gao Wei, he had no choice but to let the land grow immediately. In desperation, he had to hand over the grain collected from various parts of Jiangzhou City with the excuse of military control to the Logistics Department. Originally, Gao Wei wanted to use this grain to attract residents of nearby prefectures and counties to settle in Jiangzhou, but now he had to use it for other purposes.
In short, ten days after the military reform law was issued, Li Ming's three divisions regained their combat effectiveness, and the reorganized army had stronger combat effectiveness than before. Now, we are waiting for the opportunity to go to the battlefield to show off.
At this time, the Biquan Island Military Academy was also established. With the strict cooperation of various departments, all the construction of the military academy was in full swing, and the construction of the school could be completed within half a month. Zhang Meng was overjoyed after receiving Li Ming's appointment. After all, the rank of major general given to him by Li Ming is the highest on the island at present, and he can pass on his combat experience to every officer so that they can better serve the Tang Dynasty. This is also Zhang Meng's wish. Therefore, after hurriedly handing over the defense with Cao Bao's deputy, he rushed back to Biquan Island to take office.
In order not to affect the teaching progress and after understanding Li Ming's thoughts, Zhang Meng couldn't wait to start classes in the military camp. There was no classroom yet, so Zhang Meng taught open-air classes on the school grounds of the military camp, so that one day when Li Ming saw this situation, his nose felt a little sore.
God seems to favor Li Ming very much. This can be seen from many things. Just like now, when Li Ming is ready to find someone to add some war experience to his army, it will come.
The news brought by the Ministry of Security made Li Ming mixed joys and worries. The second batch of local troops was responsible for the task of the Ministry of Security. The person who led the team was Leng Hen. Their target was Huzhou. With the precedent of Jiangzhou, everyone thought they would not encounter any major trouble. In fact, the news that came from the first few days was indeed like this. In order to increase the success rate, they started from Jing County, the farthest from Biquan Island, where there were 3,000 local garrisons, which were very close to Li Qing's Pingzhou, so it was easy to be infiltrated by Li Qing.
The reception process was very smooth at that time. Seeing Li Ming's order, and seeing the five thousand elite soldiers led by Leng Hen, the officials who led the troops did not dare to say anything. They obediently took the 100 taels of silver from Leng Hen and left the military camp.
Leng Hen, who won the first victory, was very happy. In the following days, he accepted more than 8,000 local troops and gradually began to penetrate into the central part of Huzhou. However, there were many local officials garrisoned there. Many people wanted to hold on to the military power so that they could join a force with obvious advantages when the situation was clear and lay the foundation for their future official career. However, Li Mingde's acceptance of the order shattered their dreams, and those who were not strong were easy to deal with. The army led by Leng Hen was enough to suppress them, but those who were strong were not that easy to speak. With the strength of their hands, several forces wanted to resist Li Ming's order.
The five thousand people he led were prepared for accepting local troops, and they were all candidates for loyal officers. Of course, Leng Hen would not let them go to the battlefield and sacrificed in vain. However, the troops he received had not been fully adjusted, and the combat power was even more worth mentioning in Leng Hen's eyes. In order to increase his confidence in winning, Leng Hen did not immediately conflict with them. He just bypassed those forces and mainly annexed those small groups of troops along the way. In this way, when he arrived at Taohua Mountain, the team had already received 20,000 local troops.
After training and running-in along the way, Leng Hen felt that they should have some practical experience, so he decided to start attacking those stubborn forces.
Yu Wenxuan, the commander of the garrison in Mocheng, was such an ambitious person. After the flood receded, he recruited troops among the refugees with the grants of the court and his own efforts, and soon gave him five thousand subordinates. If it were not for the court's regulations, he would have recruited more troops and divided the water island and occupied it by Li Jiao. Yu Wenxuan felt that his opportunity had come. He successively annexed the garrisons in Shuncheng, Tongcheng and Mingcheng, which increased his troops to more than 20,000 people.
In the chaos of the army and the court, he took the opportunity to gather the military and political power of these four cities into self-respecting. However, in order to prevent the court from causing trouble for himself in the future, he pretended to submit a memorial, claiming that in order to maintain the security of these areas, he could not execute all the officials who colluded with the rioters and bandits, and asked the court to select other officials to take over, etc. In fact, he also knew that the court had no time to care about him for a while, and he submitted this memorial just to find a way out for himself.
However, Leng Hen's appearance completely shattered his dream. He did not expect that the court would actually send people to accept his army. This was not what he thought, and his own troops would never be able to hand over until they had to. Seeing that the world was going to be in chaos, there would definitely be no chance to make a name for without his own power. Therefore, he used the excuse that Leng Hen's handwriting was problematic, just like Jiang Lenghen and others seized it. Fortunately, Leng Hen's people also had certain martial arts. After losing several people, he was waiting to escape from Mocheng in a hurry. After gathering the troops, he fought with the pursuers led by Yu Wenxuan in the wild.
Yuwenxuan didn't expect that Leng Hen would lead such a large army. It seemed that the court was not very at ease with him. How could he know that the emperor didn't even know who Yuwenxuan was now, so could he send troops to deal with him? It seemed that Yuwenxuan thought too much about his reputation and strength.
Seeing that Leng Hen had more troops than him, Yu Wenxuan hurriedly withdrew the troops back to the city and then sent people to negotiate with Leng Hen. Although he knew that Yu Wenxuan had no good intentions to send people to him and he did not really want to negotiate with him, Leng Hen still hoped that both sides could resolve the issue peacefully. After all, among his more than 20,000 troops, the only ones who were truly combat-capable of the 5,000 people he brought. Although other local troops that had just received had their hard training in the past few days, they would still be weak when they went to the battlefield. Therefore, Leng Hen received Yu Wenxuan's negotiator very seriously.
The reason why Leng Hen's mistake was that he did not know Yuwenxuan's actual strength. He always believed that Yuwenxuan only had a few thousand defenders in Mo City. Although there were a little more, it was not invincible. It was not too late to attack when there was no hope of negotiations. Therefore, outside Mo City, Leng Hen was held back by Yuwenxuan's envoy for two days.
Although Leng Hen was a little suspicious during this period, considering the differences in strength between the two sides, he was still not afraid of Yu Wenxuan being able to cause anything. It was this little negligence that made him almost faceless to see Li Ming.
On the third day, when Leng Hen was angry and embarrassed by the entanglement of the opponent's envoy and was about to attack Mocheng to give the opponent some pressure, he suddenly rushed out of the back of their camp, with a total of about 20,000 people, and rushed towards them howling. Fortunately, Leng Hen's camp was relatively firm and had unique features in defense, which made the enemy's attack return in vain.
But both sides were exhausted outside Mocheng, and Leng Hen did not dare to attack. The enemy set up layers of traps between them, causing Leng Hen's several attacks to suffer heavy casualties. The defense of Mocheng was also as solid as a small guard leader, leaving Leng Hen helpless. He used to be just a small guard leader and never experienced war. His only combat knowledge was learned from Biquan Island, so it seemed very difficult to command the corps. At present, he had to stick to the spot, and then shot a quick horse to report Biquan Island to rescue him. Leng Hen was a very responsible person. When he felt that he was powerless, he would not take risks because of estimating his face or future. This was one of the reasons why Li Ming asked him to lead the team.
After reading Leng Hen's report, Li Ming felt both appreciative and disappointed. What he admired was Leng Hen's calmness and responsibility. He could truly report the situation on the scene to himself regardless of his future and destiny. But what disappointed him was that Leng Hen was one of his officers with a very good mind. If it weren't for him in the battle outside Linbin City, his vanguard troops would be wiped out. So Li Ming had already intentionally called him out of the Security Department to use it as a great future, but he did not expect that at this critical moment he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and missed the opportunity. It seemed that his generals were still too lacking in training.
Since the matter was found on him, Li Ming couldn't just let it go. After all, the more than 20,000 troops belonging to him were still besieged. At the same time, Mocheng is a place he must have. There is the only surface oil field discovered in this era and the raw material base of his own refinery. If it is occupied by others, his oil refining career will die from now on, but from this point of view, he must send troops.
Fortunately, his army had just been reorganized and was worried that there would be no opponent to train troops. Now, it was fine. It was achieved and could completely occupy Mocheng. Why not do it? So Li Ming immediately made a decision and convened all the generals to the new office hall of the commander's headquarters for a meeting.
While the army was busy reorganizing, the first central city on Biquan Island, the city named Mingzhu City by Li Ming, was officially completed. Within a few days, it finally started to be used with the full coordination of the Prime Minister's Office. When the Pearl City was first planned, Li Ming defined it as the political center of Biquan Island, so there were not many houses in the city for ordinary residents to use. All rights departments of Biquan Island were concentrated here. At the same time, some departments that needed to be prepared later, Li Ming also left an office location.
On the edge of the city are all the residences and apartments of all the offices, working officials and civilians in the city. At the same time, some reliable factory workers were introduced to the city. The city was designed and built completely according to the modern social planning, and all the streets were asphalt roads, which minimized the exploitation of the peaks of Biquan Island. The construction and layout of houses were very reasonable, and various public service facilities were available. It can be said that living in this city is the dream of every resident on the island.
The commander's headquarters is located in an independent courtyard in the center of Mingzhu City. The newly built counseling hall is spacious and bright, and is built with reinforced concrete for the first time. The windows on both sides are inlaid with glass, which makes people feel like they enter a dream. Therefore, every time you discuss, no matter how big or small, the Saint Hand King likes to do it here.
After the meeting began, Li Ming first explained the general situation of Lenghen's army under Mocheng, and then said: "We all know that Mocheng is our important raw material base, so we must not lose it. Although Lenghen is trapped there now, the other party can't do anything to him, so I don't think there is much military force to send this time. At the beginning, I wanted to shoot Master Wang Wen to rescue him, but this seemed to feel like killing a chicken and using a ox knife, so I want to hear your opinions. This is a good opportunity to train troops, so don't miss it."
As soon as Li Ming finished speaking, all three division commanders jumped up at the same time, like Li Ming volunteered to go out for battle. Among them, Cao Bao said the most distinctive: "The lord just said that sending Master Wang Wen to kill a chicken and a ox knife, so Brother Wang Wen stayed on the island and continued to move. The new recruits in Brother Zhuo's hands were far from meeting the requirements of actual combat. Letting them go to the battlefield was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Therefore, comprehensively speaking, I was the only one in this trip to Mocheng.
Only Cao Bao's army can go. Don't look at my troops scattered all over Jiangzhou, which is a small number. I still have three battalions of mobile troops in my hands. It is easy to destroy the mobs in Mo City. What's the matter? Let me go this time. I didn't blame me in Linbin City last time, and I didn't know how I returned to the army. After all, that was not my own confidant force." At this point, he blinked his little eyes and looked at Li Ming with anticipation.
After hearing what he said, Wang Wen was dissatisfied. He shouted to Cao Bao: "Brother, you can't say that. Although we are like brothers, I can't let you in this matter. The lord said that our troops are like ox-kill, but that means that the whole army goes on a war. Just as you said, against that group of mobs, a regiment of troops is enough. Brother, our division is the mobile division designated by the lord, and is responsible for the task of going to the battlefield at any time, so my army must maintain a combat state at any time, so this time is a good opportunity. For the interests of our lord, brother should not compete with me."
"What?" Before Zhuo Junhao could interrupt, Cao Bao stared at the side and shouted loudly: "Wang Wen, do you say we are brothers? Are you brothers just ignore your brother? Your troops are all veterans and you don't need to go to the battlefield anymore. However, my troops are all new and old. They need to go to the battlefield to verify the experience taught by veterans, so I must go to Mocheng this time."
"Enough! This is a meeting, noisy and quarrel? The discipline of the soldiers is not allowed?" Seeing that they were quarreling too unreasonable, the Saint Hand King interrupted them unhappily and said, "Whoever is sent to Mocheng? The lord's psychology has long been clear about you. What's the use of quarreling here? Tell your reasons well and don't quarrel with each other. If what you said makes sense, I believe the main attacker will consider your opinions. Now, Cao Bao and Wang Wen have finished speaking, Zhuo Junhao, what else do you have to say?"
Zhuo Junhao smiled bitterly and said, "I really have nothing to say when it comes to the Chairman's words. The reasons are said by both of them. If I am entangled, I will seem too rude. Anyway, I am all new recruits, and the lords who cannot go to the battlefield will consider it. I think for the future military development of our Biquan Island, the lords will not let me just practice the new recruits every day."
Li Ming couldn't help laughing. He shook his head at the three people who were using their own methods and said, "Although the reasons for the three of you are very sufficient, and each of you has their own tricks, if I tell you that none of you can go to Mocheng, will anyone convince me? In fact, I have indeed decided that none of you can go to Mocheng this time to rescue the siege."—
