One thousand two hundred and ninety-one small things

After a period of preparation, Su Yonglin ordered the Privy Council to summarize and organize the proposals proposed in the past.

He will read it first and then hold a state meeting for specific discussions. If it is almost the same, reforms will be carried out.

In order to prevent the bad phenomena such as mountain clans and other groups within each unit, it is necessary to make personnel adjustments and institutional changes in each unit.

The Privy Council quickly gave a complete logistical reform plan in accordance with Su Yonglin's requirements.

After reading it, Su Yonglin thought it was very feasible, so he held a military affairs meeting two days before Zhao Buxi and others arrived in Zhongdu, and gave all the issues, including the number, to discuss them thoroughly.

This military affairs meeting, which took place at the beginning of the eighth year of Hongwu, discussed many things about the construction of the Ming army, and reached an agreement on the reform issue and officially promoted it.

First of all, there is the issue of the number of the Ming army.

A decision was made at the military affairs meeting that the number number will be used to replace the regional title number, dilute the regional color of the army, strengthen national awareness, and the numbers of each corps will be allocated according to the time when each corps was established.

The first Henan Corps established will be changed to the First Corps of the Ming Dynasty.

The Qilu Corps, Hebei Corps and Yanyun Corps established later will also be changed to the Second Corps, Third Corps and Fourth Corps according to the time of establishment of the corps.

The Liaodong Corps was changed to the Fifth Corps, the Hexi Corps was changed to the Sixth Corps, and the Jiangxi Corps was changed to the Seventh Corps. The Sichuan and Shu Corps, which had not yet been established, will be changed to the Eighth Corps.

The military-level numbers under the corps will also be changed from the old army numbers left over from the Liberation Army during the earlier period to a brand new digital number.

The numbers are arranged in order according to the time of the army's establishment, and do not involve arrangements such as military glory or military achievements.

For example, the first group of the Henan Corps was the army led by Zhang Yuejing himself, so when the number was changed, the army would be changed to the first army of the First Corps of the Ming Dynasty. The enemy was defeated and the second army was the third army, and the You Yi army was the third army.

Starting from the Second Corps, the Qilu Corps, the Tianxing Army, Wuce Army and Shenrui Army were changed to the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army.

And so on.

The eight corps have a total of twenty-four military-level numbers.

The division numbers under the army are numbered after the reorganization of the Ming army.

The difference is that during the previous battle, each army had the Second Division and the Third Division of the First Division, and there were no independent division numbers.

According to the new regulations, division-level combat units are likely to fight independently from military-level units on the battlefield, so division-level troops must also have independent numbers.

Then according to the same regulations, the division-level numbers are below the army-level numbers, from the First Division below the First Army, the Second Division and the Third Division, then to the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division of the Second Army, and to the final seventy-second Division.

A corps has three armies and nine divisions, while the eight Ming army has a total of twenty-four armies and seventy-two division-level numbers, which is clear at a glance.

In addition, the eight corpses each have a cavalry team directly under the corps, with a group of 10,000 people, and exists as mobile combat forces for the entire corps.

Because these eight direct cavalry teams belong to pure cavalry units, when the new number is organized, the number of [Caval Division] is set, which corps belong to, that is, the cavalry division.

In this way, the seventy-two infantry divisions and eight cavalry divisions are all the new numbers of the Ming army.

The combat units of the brigade and battalions below the division level still follow the old rules. Each division discusses one, two, three, four, and five of each division, and does not set independent numbers.

The only special existence is the Hu Ben Army, which serves as the Central Imperial Guard.

The number of the Hu Ben Army has not changed, and the division-level system under its command is also provided with special numbers, namely the Hu Ben First Division, the Hu Ben Second Division, etc. This demonstrates the special status of the Hu Ben Army and the glory and strength of the Central Imperial Guards.

The number problem has been almost solved at this point. The Ming army’s new number regulations will be reported to all troops and ready to be implemented.

Then, after discussion, the relatively more complex logistical issues were decided to implement them according to the earliest proposal proposed by the Privy Council.

That is, the Privy Council took back the power to recruit new recruits to each unit, train new recruits, and assess new recruits, and all the recruit training departments in the logistics departments of each corps were directly managed by the Privy Council.

The Privy Council will set up a recruit training camp in Zhongdu and all central-level areas across the country, which will be responsible for recruiting new recruits and training new recruits, and then allocating them to the corps to replenish their troops according to certain needs.

Currently, in addition to the central government's direct jurisdiction around Zhongdu, the central government's direct jurisdiction in the country also has Hetao Zhong, the two Huai Zhong, and the planned Chongqing Zhong, so new recruitment and training camps will also be built in these places to recruit soldiers from all over the country.

At that time, the recruits in the national army will be supplemented by the Corps first report to the Privy Council. After the Privy Council makes a decision, the tasks will be assigned to the training camps of the local areas. Then, the recruits who have passed the training camp will be allocated to the various corpses to serve in the army.

In the future, each corps should not allow soldiers from a certain region to occupy the majority. Instead, it should regulate the background status of soldiers within each corps through statistics on the background status of soldiers in the entire army to ensure the regional diversity of soldiers from a military force.

When the diversity of soldiers' origins is guaranteed, the harmony of the army can be more guaranteed.

In this way, situations such as areas that have already begun to gather together and small hills within the entire army will be curbed and dealt with.

In the future, if such situations in the army are not handled, Su Yonglin will use other methods to deal with them, such as commander transfer, army transfer organization, etc., and do not ask for all of them to be destroyed, but seek to maintain a healthy state.

These important issues about military construction can be handled quickly with the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty Central Committee. Su Yonglin signed an order and promulgated it, and then it could be implemented.

The handling of the army will be properly resolved with the stability of most parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The meeting here had just ended, and the prisoner group and surrender group of the Shu and Song regime led by Zhao Buxi arrived in Zhongdu successfully.

Because some people are prisoners and some surrender, there must be different ways of dealing with these people.

Of course, this is a small matter, at least compared to the reform issues of military construction, it is all small matters.

So this led to Su Yonglin's realization that he had not organized a meeting to discuss how to deal with them after Zhao Buxi and others arrived in Zhongdu.

So Su Yonglin had to temporarily settle them in the military camp outside the city, and quickly held an internal meeting of the Revival Conference for discussion.
