Chapter 1058 Five Great War Zones
If it weren't for the Yanmen Pass, Chen Xu might not have been so anxious to reach out to the army. After all, the army is too sensitive, and an inadvertent person would put him in a dilemma.
Especially under the military system like Daqin, which relies on military merit to stimulate soldiers and work hard and is effective, rashly overthrow will inevitably arouse fierce opposition from the military, and there will even be huge resistance in the three provinces and six ministries.
But Chen Xu also believed that the emperor would definitely see the benefits of this reform and the disadvantages of the Qin army at present. However, this kind of trauma-like reform must be planned very thoroughly and thoroughly. After all, his theory is too advanced. At that time, the military and officials from the three provinces and six ministries must be able to understand clearly.
Moreover, since it is necessary to change, Chen Xu decided to complete the decision in one go and completely demolish the Qin army system.
The first is to prepare for the four major war zones and the central security zone.
The Central Security District is responsible for the security of Xianyang and the Neishi Mansion. Based on the guards stationed in Jingyang, Gaoling and Zhiyang and the soldiers stationed at the four passes, plus the 20,000 lieutenant imperial guards stationed in Xianyang City, it was reorganized into four central security divisions with twenty security regiments under its jurisdiction, recruiting the youngest brave soldiers, equipped with the best weapons, and responsible for protecting the safety of Guanzhong and Xianyang.
In addition, there is an imperial guard in Xianyang City with less than 10,000 people but with a huge combat power. It is called the Weiwei Imperial Guard. Every soldier in it is a warrior who has been through many battles. His predecessor was called the Guard Army. It was originally planned to be established by King Zhao of Qin. After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, he adapted the garrison army into the current Weiwei Imperial Guard.
The Weiwei belongs to the Shaofu, but the Shaofu Order Zhao Wei has no right to mobilize him. Officers at all levels directly obey the First Emperor and can only act when they see the military talisman. Qimen, Yulin, and Qianniu Guards all belong to the Weiwei Imperial Guards, who are specifically responsible for the security of the palace and the royal family. Chen Xu, the imperial guards of this Weiwei Imperial Guards, cannot move, but they can still change the pattern and name, and change the name to the Royal Imperial Guards, with a division and five regiments under their jurisdiction. Naturally, the weapons and equipment must be equipped with the best.
In addition, there is also the most mysterious armed force in the palace, called Xuanwu Guard, with only 500 people and only one person is protected, that is, the First Emperor. The group of people will follow him wherever the emperor goes. The emperor will be blocked by Xuanwu Guard without permission. Chen Xu still doesn't know how powerful the Xuanwu Guard is. However, according to the injury of Shui Qingrou, you have basically received special and systematic martial arts training, which is not as simple as ordinary masters.
Chen Xu, the Xuanwu Guard, could not touch him, and he even did not intend to move his organization or name. This is the emperor's forbidden body, and his legs would be broken if he moved.
This is the structure of the Central Security District. The Central Security Division is responsible for the security of Guanzhong and Xianyang City, the Royal Imperial Guards are responsible for the security of the palace, the Xuanwu Guards are responsible for the security of the emperor, and protect the core power center of the Qin Dynasty at all levels.
The Eastern Theater Command is responsible for the Liaodong direction. It is mainly based on Wang Li's northern army. It has 20,000 main combat troops and 10,000 auxiliary troops. It is based on the army and has two main combat cavalry divisions and one auxiliary troops. It has a total of fifteen cavalry regiments. The army is located in Juyongguan, and the pass along the Yanshan Mountains of the Yancheng in the northeast is the garrison. It is responsible for the security of the five counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu and the Liao Kingdom in the Great Qin Dynasty. It is still the Donghu and North Korea to be guarded against.
The Northern Theater Command is responsible for the direction of the grassland, and is mainly based on Wang Li's northern army. It has 20,000 main combat troops and 10,000 auxiliary troops. It is established by the army and has two main combat cavalry divisions and one auxiliary troops. The structure is exactly the same as the Eastern Theater Command. The military headquarters Yanmen Pass uses the pass along the Yinshan Mountains of Zhao, as the garrison. It is responsible for the security of the five counties of Dai County, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Shuofang, and is guarding against harassment by the Xiongnu and the grassland people.
The Southern Theater Command is responsible for the Lingnan area. Although Lingnan has almost been completed, the Yue tribe is actually not convinced. It requires a large army to be stationed for a long time. At the same time, it is also necessary to guard against the harassment and counterattack of the Yue tribes fleeing in Vietnam and other places. Therefore, it is not time for disarmament and adjustment, but the military system must be unified, with new military settings such as military headquarters and division battalions.
The Western Theater Command is mainly based on Meng Tian's 20,000 troops, with its military headquarters in Longxi. The two main troops of Jiang Hu and Li Xin were reorganized into two cavalry divisions, each with five cavalry regiments, one cavalry division retreated to Dunhuang, and the other stationed in Pamir. The tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers formed by the Yuezhi and the Western Regions were also reorganized and formed into several armies in divisions, responsible for assisting in defense of various parts of the Western Regions.
After conquering the Western Regions, the necessity of the Qin Dynasty to continue to attack westward in a large-scale short term is no longer great. It is necessary to start contacting Western countries such as Dayuan, Daxia and the Mauryan Dynasty through caravans and envoys, and slowly understand their respective strengths. If they can surrender, they will be best if they cannot surrender. If the time is ripe, they will naturally be able to crush them in one go.
Therefore, the Western Theater Command is the core of the entire Qin army. It is not safe to have 20,000 troops stationed abroad all year round. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Chen Xu felt that he could recruit 10,000 volunteer soldiers to station in the Longxi Army Camp in China again. In this way, Meng Tian had 20,000 auxiliary pawns in his hands. After strict training, he improved his combat effectiveness and also reached the level of elite pawns. He could also exchange defenses and repair with the two armies of Jiang Hu and Li Xin to ensure good combat effectiveness.
According to the current development trend of Daqin, with the continuous development of the economy and the continuous improvement of comprehensive national strength, weapons and equipment are also constantly being updated and replaced. The main weapon of infantry in the past, Changge, has basically withdrawn from the equipment sequence. The pawns are mainly sabers and crossbows. Moreover, all weapons, including standard crossbows, have now begun to be replaced with steel manufacturing. Not only are they farther and have greater power, but they are also strong and durable and not easy to damage, greatly improving the combat capabilities of soldiers.
New leather armor and chain mail lined with steel sheets began to equip the army, and the soldiers' battlefield survival ability has also been greatly improved. In addition, the equipment of mixed military rations, enamel tea tanks and military kettles has also been greatly improved. Although the entire army cannot eat mixed military rations due to production capacity, and use enamel tea tanks and military kettles, as time goes by, the factory's production capacity increases, these equipment will definitely be popularized into the army and become standard equipment.
Since the establishment of the Hongxing Enamel Factory alone last year, the production of enamels has made great progress. The enamel pots, enamel tea tanks, and enamel military kettles that Chen Xu asked to produce have been developed one after another and began to be equipped with Meng Tian's troops. However, the enamel production process is relatively complicated, especially the difficulty in building military kettles. In addition, the long journey of transportation has been difficult. Now more than a year has passed, and the two armies of Jiang Hu and Li Xin have been equipped one third one after another, but these three
One in one, but it was also exciting that the generals of the two armies stationed in the Western Regions screamed excitedly. Although they were thousands of miles away from their hometown, when Xianyang distributed these exquisite and practical equipment for free, many soldiers were excited and burst into tears. They felt that they fought and conquered the Western Regions, and then stationed in this windy and sandy land and endured the torture without wasting. The emperor still remembered them, and the people of the Qin Dynasty still remembered them, and they had never abandoned them.
For all those who are far away from their hometown, even a little care and comfort will be like a heart-warming agent. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying that letters from home are worth ten thousand gold, and only those who are far away from their hometown for a long time will have a deep feeling about this mood.
In Chen Xu's military reform planning, it was still secondary to the division of the national army into five theaters, and the construction of a new system was carried out. In fact, the main purpose was that he would thoroughly reform the current military service system of Daqin, adopt the combination of compulsory military service system and volunteer military service system in later generations, and adopt the selection method to recruit soldiers, rather than everyone needs to participate in the military service.
Everyone has the obligation to serve in the military and is not allowed to escape, but in terms of selection, the country must also have a strict system, and physical conditions are very important, rather than using age to distinguish between beard and eyebrows.
Moreover, age restrictions should be imposed. The range of 17 to 60 is too wide. All ordinary soldiers over 40 years old among the volunteer soldiers must be eliminated. The same is true for the lieutenant soldiers in various counties and counties, and they even tend to be younger. It is best to be aged 17 to 25. The service time is extended to two years without guarding the border. After the service is over, those who perform well and are willing to be volunteer soldiers can be transferred to the border as auxiliary soldiers or main combat soldiers to replace elderly, weak or retired soldiers. The families do not need to pay taxes during their service, which can stimulate the enthusiasm of civilians to join the army.
Because the reform planned by Chen Xu this time has almost been extended, from service methods to military deployment to military system to appreciation rewards for soldiers and soldiers, etc., it is all brand new settings, so the content is also very complicated, and Chen Xu needs to clarify everything.
Half an hour passed by, and the maid's report came from outside the study. The guard leader who went to the Nanshan Villa outside the city was back.
After Chen Xu came out, leaving Chen Yong and ten musket team boys, he ordered everyone, including the maids and guards, to leave the backyard. After everyone was exposed, he swept over the eleven musket team boys standing in line with a serious expression and sharp look.
