Chapter seven hundred and seventieth military establishment
"Kill it, hang outside the city gate of Shanhaiguan."
In the Political Consultative Hall, Xiao Ming's cold voice was like the cold wind in winter.
As soon as he finished speaking, a brief silence appeared in the court. The ministers exchanged glances with each other, and then a loud "Long Live" sounded.
Xiao Ming looked down at the king and his subjects, and he thought for a moment and understood why all officials had such a reaction.
Just six years ago, the Great Yu Kingdom was still in a humble position to submit to the Jin Horde. Everything about the Great Yu Kingdom and the Jin Horde is an extremely important national event.
Especially when capturing the generals of the Golden Horde, in order to avoid intensifying conflicts, they will send all the generals of the Golden Horde back.
But now he treated the barbarians like the Jin Horde who dealt with the captive generals of the Great Yu Kingdom, and he did not give the Golden Horde any face at all.
After all, it is understandable that he is fighting to death on the battlefield, and now he is killing prisoners directly.
Such a humiliation was a naked humiliation for the Golden Horde, and this time it would inevitably arouse their anger.
However, if it were before, there might be objections in the court, but in the two years after he ascended the throne, he established his absolute authority in the Great Yu Kingdom and the court through continuous victory in foreign wars.
Because in the hearts of the ministers, he is now the starlight of the Great Yu Kingdom. As long as they work diligently to execute any orders he issued, they can move towards revival.
It is precisely because of the slight collision between these two mentalities that the ministers make deafening shouts after hesitation.
A smile appeared on his face, and Xiao Ming looked at the ministers.
As an emperor, he must hold power firmly in his own hands. Moreover, he comes from modern times and has a longer-term vision than the Great Chongqing Kingdom or even the West.
He knew very well what he did now was to follow the times and what he did was to go against the rules.
After deciding on the matter of the barbarian captives, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to announce his resignation, but kept Niu Ben and Luo Quan.
After the ministers dispersed, Xiao Ming said to the two: "The two generals were once the ministers of the Great Yu Kingdom, but now they are still my right-hand man. I hope the two generals can help me out with this great trouble in the north."
Niu Ben and Luo Quan heard this and bowed to him at the same time, saying, "It is our duty to pacify the threat of the Great Chongqing Kingdom to the north."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded.
In fact, he asked the two of them to come this time for the final step in military reform. Now both the British and the French are interfering in the internal affairs of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
It may not take long for him to start wars among these Western powers, so the most critical step to victory now is to implement the reform of the modern army.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Today I left the two generals for military reform. In my opinion, the military system of the Great Yu Kingdom can no longer adapt to the command of the firearms troops, so I am preparing to implement a new military system before the war..."
Then, Xiao Ming explained his thoughts to the two in detail.
Combined with the modern army system, Xiao Ming prepared to establish corps, army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, and company organization among the infantry.
One of the legions consists of two armies, one army consists of four infantry divisions and two cavalry regiments, each army has a commander.
The division has two or three brigades, and the brigade has two regiments, each regiment has three battalions, each battalion has nine companies.
One hundred and twenty people in a company, and these hundred and twenty people are the standard equipment for a Musketeer array. In this way, the firearms troops can be easily commanded by coordination from top to bottom.
In the past, his old organization was enough to be used in the country of Dayu, and there was no need, but now Dayu is about to embark on the road of overseas colonization, and he does not want to be at a disadvantage in any aspect.
In addition to the army, the cavalry also abides by the system of the army-division-brigade-corps, and the artillery system has also changed accordingly.
This is to equip each army of different levels with different numbers of artillery. According to his idea, one battalion is equipped with eight field artillery, one regiment is twenty-four field artillery, one division is seventy-two field artillery, and one army is two hundred and eighty-eight field artillery.
When Xiao Ming was explaining, the effect of the tech crystal made the two understand the organization more clearly, and even expressed the advantages of the organization.
Although Niu Ben and Luo Quan felt strange, they also agreed that the military system of the Great Yu Kingdom was prepared for the cold weapon war in the past.
Because what both sides need is a large number of battle formations.
With the installation of the Zhenglu Musket, such flexible organization is more suitable for the flexible application of tactics on the battlefield.
"Emperor, if so, what will be the official positions of Lu Fei, Luo Hong and others?" Niu Ben asked.
Xiao Ming took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The commander of the legion is a position that was established during the war. As for Lu Fei, Ye Qingyun, and Luo Hong are now equivalent to the commander, and now the number of soldiers under his command is roughly equivalent. As for what is not enough, please add it to this recruitment."
Luo Quan said: "In this way, the generals under their command will be given official positions according to the division, regiment, battalion and company."
"That's right." Xiao Ming said.
Niu Ben and Luo Quan looked at each other. In fact, after the Dayu army innovated in weapons, they were mentally prepared for other changes in the army.
Moreover, they also learned about the current organization of Western troops at the Military Academy. The organization proposed by Xiao Ming is generally not much different from that of Western troops.
"The emperor, the last general returned to the Military Affairs Department and began to prepare for this matter." Niu Ben said.
Xiao Ming nodded. At this time, he looked at Luo Quan. Luo Quan had just been activated and his identity was a little embarrassed.
I'm afraid someone will have any objections to the Ministry of Military Affairs when he mentioned him. After all, Luo Quan did not participate in the war in recent years.
So he said: "There is another matter. In addition to the need for reform of the military organization, the military department will also have to add another official office, called the General Staff."
"General Staff?" Niu Ben looked puzzled.
In fact, the prototype of the General Staff appeared in Prussia in the mid-17th century.
At that time, the Swedish Army in Europe was highly respected by all countries, so when Prussia formed its troops, it imitated the establishment of a military chief, which was the original General Staff.
At that time, the main responsibilities of the Military Command General Office were to undertake engineering services, choose marching roads and camps, and build positions.
In the era of Frederick the Great, the Military Control Commission added a command to guide the marching troops and to draft reports and documents for the generals.
During the first battle to divide Poland and the Bavarian throne succession war in 1778, the Military Control Commission accepted the planning and leadership of the reserve forces. Until 1817, the Military Control Commission in Prussia was officially renamed the General Staff.
