Chapter 210 The system of the whole army
The new staffing opinions were issued, and a group of grassroots commanders were discussing.
Liu Huai saw it and said to Wang Liang, the artillery envoy around him: "In this way, there are many more levels in the army, aren't there many more officers?"
Wang Liang said: "That's natural. But there are many generals in our two armies, and the most troublesome thing about doing this is the infantry."
Liu Huai nodded repeatedly. Most of the cavalry and artillery are envoys, and it is enough to pull out multiple levels of personnel, but there is more command and management level, so personnel do not need major changes. Infringements are scarce among infantry, so when joining the command level, personnel can only be reduced and reduced in scale.
Yang Wenguang looked at the new organizational chart and said to Zhao Zi beside him: "If we follow the new method, we will lack generals in our army. We will either transfer from artillery and cavalry, or we will only reduce the personnel. There are nearly 200,000 households in the field of the camp, and I don't know how many military and horses are in favor of the promotion."
Zhao Zi said: "There are not many artillery and cavalry in the army, and in addition to officers, they are also envoys and useful, so they will not be cut off. In this way, our infantry is not left. The culprit repeatedly said that infantry is the backbone and lacks personnel, but what is the use of it?"
Yang Wenguang nodded repeatedly, feeling that this was very inappropriate. He took Yang Ting out and stepped forward to bow to Du Zhongxiao: "I will ask you for advice if you have any questions in the end."
Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, sit down and talk. There is an unused tea cup over there. Take one and drink the tea slowly."
Sitting down at the table, Liu Ji poured tea for Yang Wenguang, and Du Zhongxiao signaled him to say anything.
Yang Wenguang said: "There was not enough officers in the infantry army. If the new staffing was followed, the number of personnel would be even more short of them. The total number of soldiers from the Yingtianwu Army to the West Jing Road was more than 100,000. In this way, they would definitely be dissatisfied?"
Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "The wing army is a warrior, of course it will not be full. The wing army in the field service used to make up for the numbers. How many people could really go to the battlefield? After training for so many years, which soldiers can be used and which soldiers are not used, and officers at all levels should know what they are. A few days ago, the army had organized the first, second and third grades into the army, which was the meaning of this. In principle, the first grade soldiers who entered the army to fight were first, second and third grades, and all the third grades were left to farm in their hometowns. If necessary, they could be used as local village soldiers and strong men. - By the way, let Zhao Zi come together."
Zhao Zi sat down at the table, and Du Zhongxiao said, "Justice Yang asked just now that according to the new organization in the army, the infantry must be dissatisfied. I told him that it is normal for him to be dissatisfied. In addition to rectifying the organization, this time, the number of troops in each army must be determined."
After hearing this, Zhao Zi was still a little disappointed, and bowed: "I dare to ask, how should the infantry be organized?"
Du Zhongxiao looked at Liu Ji and said, "We just discussed it. In principle, each army is the same, but the number of personnel has changed. Specifically, because of the insufficient levels in the previous hierarchy, the army wanted to add several levels below the battalion and above. The battalion was changed to one battalion and three capitals, and there was no movement, but the number of people needed to be added, with about 350 people as the basis. The three yamen squads were directly set up, with about 100 people in each squad. The squad was set up under the squad, with 30 people as the basis. The team was set up under the squad, with ten people as the basis. In principle, one team was one or two cases, and the array was set up."
Yang Wenguang was surprised and said, "If you lift the rank, the changes will be huge. One battalion of thousands of people can stand alone."
Du Zhongxiao said: "It is to let the battalion stand alone. Now there are 500 people in a battalion, and it is extremely embarrassing. After a thousand people are added, the battalion will be lined up with baggage, cavalry and artillery teams. The cavalry is the main light cavalry, and the artillery thinks that the tiger squats and other skirmishes. In the battalion, they are then incorporated into the battalion, artillery officers, intelligence officers and counselors, and so on. When marching and fighting, the battalion is used as the basic unit. During normal management, it is also arranged according to the battalion."
Zhao Zi pondered: "Those 350 people are all--"
Du Zhongxiao said: "From the years of training, the military teams are too wasteful to start a group alone, and are not conducive to training and combat. In the future, food, paperwork, training and other things are all based on the team. The class has a separate grain and grass officer, and a few people are assigned to serve as a chemist and a groom. Unless the class is stationed alone, the fire will not be opened in the future. In addition, in principle, the class will not be in charge of money and grain, and will be collected from the battalion level."
Yang Wenguang and Zhao Zi didn't speak for a moment and each thought. This arrangement was very different from what they thought before. If the battalion level supplemented the information, baggage and counselor, they were completely independent and could arrange the battle themselves.
Liu Jidao: "This arrangement is based on the previous years when Fan Xianggong was in Yanzhou, and he acted as one general. It was just that there were no generals in the army, but the battalion was expanded. No matter where there was a war, a thousand-man army and a complete configuration could be held alone. We use guns and cannons, and one battalion can line up two formations to meet the enemy, and one strike is enough to deal with most situations."
Zhao Zi pondered for a while and said, "In this way, the military system will change greatly now, and the status of the battalion commander is particularly important. And Dutou——"
Liu Ji said: "It's enough to say something, so don't hesitate. Everyone is sandwiched between the battalion commander and the general. Regardless of money and food, food, food, and supplies, it is naturally not as important as before. In case of war, you can use it as a battalion-level officer, allocate troops and artillery cavalry, and complete the task alone. Similarly, the same is true for teams between squads."
Du Zhongxiao referred to the way he remembered. The battalion was actually equivalent to the regiment of later generations, and the squad was equivalent to the company. Because of the habits of this era, those names were difficult to identify with others, so they could only be changed in this way. The battalion level was fully equipped, equivalent to a separate tactical unit, and could act alone on the battlefield. This is the most level-level, with the most combat commands on the battlefield and the most complex changes. Therefore, there is a false unit in the middle, which is not only conducive to peacetime management, but also more flexible in replenishing the next level during wartime, which is conducive to the upload and delivery of orders.
The battalion basically does not involve daily management, and there is no need to set up virtual levels, just set up one level at a time. Different affiliated personnel correspond to different combat actions, which can be called battles, strategies, or road level or coach level, and there is no essential difference.
Du Zhongxiao also said: "Above the camp, we discussed here. According to the ancient system, a brigade was established and five battalions were under the jurisdiction of the brigade. The brigade could be the only one side. In principle, except for a few generals, the battalion was drawn from the first level. In addition to three infantry barracks, there was also one artillery battalion and cavalry battalion. In the case of minor wars, they could go out alone. Every three brigades were one division, with a total of about 15,000 troops, with heavy cavalry and heavy artillery, and separate baggage. Generally, when going out to fight, the division level was one route. The third division was a military army with a total of more than 40,000 people. In addition to commanding personnel, heavy artillery, heavy cavalry, naval army, etc. This is the total force of the first battle. If there is more than this number, the general commander or all are deployed, and they are all departments set up in the war."
Liu Ji said: "Our camp field xiang army is set according to this number, and a total of one army is organized, and the rest of the personnel are not allowed. Calculated, the entire camp field affairs are about five. If the basic permanent artillery and cavalry are set, other personnel will be more abundant, and you will know what should you do with your subordinates."
In this way, artillery and cavalry were formed alone, and the number of infantry was greatly reduced. After thinking for a long time, Yang Wenguang said: "Is it too little for the commander to be promoted and the commander, so the infantry was only about half.
