Chapter 223

While drinking tea, several people introduced the situation of the Yingtianxiang Army, as well as the wartime command and daily management systems to Zhao Yu.

Below the battalion, the command and daily management during wartime are roughly the same, and the personnel and structure remain unchanged. However, when the war is approaching, the commander at the upper brigade level may be assigned to the battalion as a backup of the battalion commander, and at the same time supervising the execution of orders from the superiors. However, the command at the battalion level must be the responsibility of several officers of the battalion. The assigned officers only play an auxiliary role and cannot directly issue orders. As long as an order is issued, the officer will violate the military discipline, and the subordinates will also violate the military discipline. His most direct task is to confirm that the superiors' orders are not distorted and only have the right to interpret the orders. Or because of combat tasks, the brigade will strengthen some of the troops, either infantry, cavalry and artillery to the battalion.

During wartime, superior command agencies sent officers to the next level, which was not necessary, but often did this. When the combat mission was clarified, they sent people to supervise the execution. This is the original intention of the military supervisor, but no longer sent confidants, but cooperated with people who are familiar with each other. The level of officers sent is the same as that of the subordinate commanders, or there is a slight difference, and there is no clear relationship between superiors and subordinates. The lower the level, the clearer the combat order will be. The battalion level may be ordered to attack the military formation and seize the important place, and the specific command will be the responsibility of the subordinates. At the team level, it will be very detailed, how to organize the formation, where to attack, and what to complete the task, and there is little flexibility.

The organizational structure is fixed, but the level of wartime is flexible and can only be understood but not expressed in words. With the battlefield situation, the level of subordinates targeted by the command may change. For example, small-scale combat, the level of the squad team may increase, and they can command the battle freely.

At the brigade level, including the division and army level, the daily management functions are very weak. The main function is wartime command, including daily exercise. These levels will be complete and strengthened during exercise and battle, and professional armies such as artillery, cavalry and baggage will be clearly assigned. Generally speaking, the brigade corresponds to ordinary combat, with two armies arranged in a formation and responsible for a battlefield interval. The division is responsible for one direction, except for the combat team, all kinds of subordinate troops are all available. The army is responsible for the whole route, with clear strategic tasks, and unified the organization of various military branches to complete the orders. The commander's office is temporarily set up, and it is unified to command several armies to fight against the enemy. It not only commands the army, but also manages and coordinates civil affairs to serve the military, which is similar to the current Strategic Command.

After listening in detail, Zhao Yu nodded and said, "The arrangement of the sequel is in line with the current arrangement of the court. The General's Office is the Strategic Commander, and the Army is deployed by various departments. The divisions and brigades below are actually the commanders and the chief supervisors. However, the battalion has more people than the current battalion and more officers, and the battalion is more complicated than the existing ones. In this way, it is easy for people to understand."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The chief is right, but there are still some differences. The current chief and chief supervisor are both involved in civil affairs. In the front line, the general chief supervisor and chief supervisor serve as the head of the village, and some are also the governors. When the Yingtianxiang Army is arranged, only the general’s office can manage civil affairs."

Zhao Yu said: "There are many troops garrisoned along the border areas, and different sources, so it is inevitable that there will be many political branches. Generals serve as local officials to fight better. When it comes, it is better to recommend the arrangement of the army in the camp and field affairs, which is neat and uniform, and it is clear at a glance. This is a good thing. I will examine the three yamen and the Privy Council. The several types along the border can actually be changed to this."

This is actually something Du Zhongxiao had never thought about before. He referred to the system of later generations and reorganized the military structure, but he did not expect that there was a framework at this time. However, the arrangement at this time lacked vertical management from top to bottom, and the operation was not effective, and the command was even more chaotic. For example, the chief officer and the chief officer were divided according to the level of the general and the number of troops under his jurisdiction, and the responsibilities were repeated. According to the system, the chief officer led 5,000 soldiers and the chief officer led 3,000 soldiers. The number of troops they led could not be compared with the Yingtianxiang Army, and there were no clear regulations on other affiliated troops, which was very chaotic.

The corresponding commander's office and the border management department will be very clear. The army corresponds to the deployment of military routes, the division corresponds to the commander of the military commander, and the brigade corresponds to the commander of the military commander. Below are battalions, which are also permanent units and basic components of the army.

There is no difference in the framework, but the management and command system in the middle are far different. In terms of military routes, the large ones, such as the Hebei routes, all deployed more than 100,000 troops, which is much more than the number of Yingtianxiang Army. If they can directly command the Xiang army, the village soldiers, and various archers, brave and strong men, there are hundreds of thousands of people, which is far from comparable to the one army. Small military routes, such as the special Fufu route, have a total of about 20,000 soldiers, and the subordinates are also equivalent to the Yingtianxiang Army.

The military commander and the chief supervisor both evolved from the military supervisor and gradually became generals who commanded the war. The large commander, such as Zhao Yu, could manage all the troops, but led 5,000 troops during the war. The small commander actually only cared for one state, and had the power to bring 5,000 troops during the war, but there was actually no five,000 people to lead. The same is true for the chief supervisor, there were road commander, the provincial commander, and even the county commander, and some village heads also called the chief supervisor. Like the chief supervisor, the chief supervisor, the chief supervisor, the chief supervisor, the chief supervisor, and the chief supervisor of the county commander, the chief supervisor, and the chief supervisor of the village, they also called the chief supervisor. Like the chief supervisor, they led 3,000 troops during the war, but it is difficult to say how many soldiers there are in the actual jurisdiction.

It can be said that below the road level, the chief minister and the chief supervisor are very chaotic. The court often cannot figure it out, the Privy Council and the Third Yamen cannot figure it out, and some even make mistakes themselves. The management is extremely chaotic in normal times, let alone during wartime.

If the commander and supervisor are uniformly integrated along the border like the Yingtianxiang Army, it is actually a large-scale reorganization of the army. The interests are complicated and the connections are very wide, and it is difficult to succeed.

The army reorganized by Du Zhongxiao is inconsistent with the existing system, which shows that some truths are common, not people today do not understand. They are very clear from the macro perspective. The military route is not just a first-level organization, but also a military arrangement. It is integrated with military and political affairs, and can be used as a whole-way war in wartime. However, although the truth is clear, it is rare to make a clue. At this time, there are military command agencies, which are actually the Strategic Department, which is also in charge of the transfer commander of the army. The first level of the road is purely military and basically does not involve civil affairs. However, the commander and the chief supervisor have changed from military supervisors. The history is very complicated, so it is difficult to say very well.

In terms of the mainland, the governor of the big prefectures led to the pacification envoy, such as Jia Changchao on the West Jing Road, which is the first military prefecture of the country. In general, the governor first knows military affairs and controls the troops of the state. Then he is the governor of the state affairs, civil affairs, and is the governor. The commander is actually the same as the governor of the prefecture, and should be in charge of the troops of several prefectures and have special tasks, such as Zhao Yu's catching thieves. The next level magistrate and county magistrate do not care about the military affairs of the county, and the governor is not a county affairs like the governor. The magistrate leads the troops, and generally adds a chief supervisor or supervisor of the county. Such a level is still considered

It is clear that the position of the chief minister in the army is equivalent to the position of the magistrate in the local area, and can be called the county regiment level. The chief minister is in charge of the troops of several prefectures and counties, and is the same as the chief minister, and can be called the provincial military level. But in fact, the chief minister is also divided into many types, including the chief minister, the chief minister of the prefecture, the chief minister of the city, and the chief minister of the border. The chief minister directly comes from the chief military, which is even more complicated. There are the chief supervisors, the chief supervisor of the road, the chief supervisor, the chief supervisor of the prefecture, and the chief supervisor of the county. There are various chief supervisors of the garrison, and the chief supervisor of the city. In terms of management, the chief supervisor and chief supervisor are not clear at all.

From a macro perspective, the court is actually very clear about how to set up military hierarchies and how to command in principle. However, it involves historical evolution, actual interests, the management of the army by the Privy Council and the Three Yas. It also involves the arrangements of imperial power to control military power, and it is a mess.

Some levels have a terrible military power. Some levels have a pitiful military power, and daily management can barely cope with it, so the command during wartime is a mess. The daily command and the command during wartime are not divided, and the imperial power cannot completely control the military power. Not only the emperor is worried, but the ministers of the court are also frightened. The command during wartime and the command during daily command cannot be separated, and there are destiny and cannot be punished. When fighting, the troops cannot cooperate, and no matter how many troops are, they cannot form a collective.
