In Liu Ziyu's study, Zhen Yuan and Liu Ziyu sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.

After chatting for a while, Zhen Yuan said: "Before coming, the privy councilor was afraid that Wang Xiao would win consecutive victories against the Jin army, and he would inevitably become arrogant, so he ordered the counselor to mention it. Why did the counselor not mention a word when he arrived in Xiangyang, but instead tolerated him everywhere?

?I think that although Wang Xiaolie's attitude is respectful, he is extremely confident in himself when he speaks, and he cannot listen to what the counselor says. Some of it even seems a bit excessive."

Liu Ziyu sighed: "Honor, before arriving in Xiangyang, everyone including the Privy Council had underestimated Wang Xiaolie. Only when we got here did we truly believe that Wang Xiaolie's army was an unparalleled force in the world and the Great Wall that the imperial court relied on.

How can we not bear to let him? If someone else has a hundred thousand soldiers and has made countless military exploits, how can we be allowed to sit here? Now we know that after merging Empress Li Yan, Wang Xiaohunting actually has more than 80,000 soldiers and horses. This

Eighty thousand soldiers are all capable and brave soldiers. Is there any general in the world who can compare with him?"

After hearing this, Zhen Yuan lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he said: "He is a leader after all. No matter how many soldiers he has, it doesn't matter. Just like the Qudutong of Shaanxi, how was he so domineering before? How can he dare to say more now?

talk!"

Liu Ziyu shook his head and said with infinite emotion: "Qu Duan is leading soldiers from the imperial court, so of course he must obey the imperial order. Wang Xiaolie's soldiers were brought out by himself, how can they be the same? Not to mention Privy Zhang, they are the imperial court.

, we must also tolerate Wang Xiaolie for a while!"

Having said this, Liu Ziyu held the tea bowl in his hand and looked out the window, lost in thought for a moment. When setting off, both Zhang Jun and Liu Ziyu thought that Wang Xiaolie was no different from the other Zhenfu envoys. The great victory in Guanzhong was just a temporary fluke, taking advantage of the situation.

They just invaded Jingzhao Mansion. When they arrived in Jinzhou, Wang Yan reminded him not to equate Wang Xiaolie with others. This great victory in Guanzhong was won by Wang Xiaolie without even using his full strength. He entered Dengzhou

, only after listening to people talk about the army, I became convinced that this was a completely different army.

After a moment of silence, Liu Ziyu said: "Moreover, under Wang Xiaolie's rule, the people are happy and peaceful, which is different from other places. He is a good man in military management and administration, how can we equate Wang Xiaolie with others? With Wang Xiao,

With Lie behind to support us, there will not be much difficulty in guarding Sichuan and Shu."

Zhen Yuan said: "I always feel that what great potential can a governor have? It's just that the court can't control it for a while and uses its power to build a national barrier. The power of the governor is too great. Once there is no control,

It is not a blessing to the imperial court."

"Why don't I know?" Liu Ziyu was a little helpless. "Now Wang Xiaolie occupies the territory of eleven states, with one hundred thousand soldiers under his command, and there is a faint tendency to separate one party. However, Xiangyang Dengzhou is located in the west of Beijing, and the imperial court cannot reach it.

, what can be done? Now the Jin army is in Shaanxi with 100,000 men, threatening Sichuan and Shu. We are about to rely on Wang Xiaolie’s military power to protect Sichuan and Shu. The current situation is like this, so we can only do this."

After Zhen Yuan heard this, although he still disagreed with Liu Ziyu, he couldn't think of any other way.

The five envoys of the town, Si Yamen, Wang Xiaolie, Li Yanxian, Wang Ruohai, Shao Ling, and Niu Gao, discussed the next reorganization together. This time is different from the previous times. It is no longer a simple reorganization, but a full military establishment.

major changes.

Wang Ruohai said: "The governor has always said that the whole army should be organized upward and downward based on control. The art of war has been implemented for many years since the Xining period, and it has indeed been of great benefit. But how to extend it, I can't figure out.

"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The control of our army comes from generals, of course there is no doubt. However, the number of generals in the imperial court is uncertain. It is said that one general has 2,500 people. In fact, time has changed, and the number is different. The tasks performed should be

It's different. We can't do this. Deliberately limit the power of the general to prevent the commander from becoming too powerful and disobeying control. This is wrong. It is actually wrong for the general to have exclusive power, but the command organization must have sufficient authority. I say that control is the

The foundation, extending upward and downward, means that the control-level organization is complete and can complete the campaign independently or participate in the campaign as part of it."

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "The reorganization of the army cannot be taken for granted, but there must be a basis. What basis? Specifically, it is how the army fights, how it is managed, how it is stationed, and so on. For example

When talking about grassroots units, they must be related to military formations. A military formation is a basic combat unit. Once this level is determined, the higher-level units will follow in turn."

Li Yanxian said: "When Cai Ting was practicing General's Art of War, there were 125 people in one group, which was extremely strict."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "We have been marching and fighting for many years. We have studied that a group of about a hundred people is most suitable. A hundred people are the capital. There are no cavalry in the capital, only infantry. Five capitals are one battalion. What is a camp? The place where it is stationed is also

In other words, a battalion of 500 people is stationed together. In addition to infantry, the Chinese army has one more cavalry in the battalion. Therefore, the battalion has become a separate combat unit. However, the battalion lacks reconnaissance and baggage.

Other departments cannot fight alone, but must fight under control. When under control, the command system is basically complete."

Li Yanxian said: "Why not let the battalion have reconnaissance, baggage and other troops? In this way, the battalion can also fight alone."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Because the battalion only has 500 people. When the reconnaissance, baggage and other departments are incorporated, the number of people will be greatly increased, making it top-heavy. It has more than 3,000 people under its control, so it is only appropriate to incorporate these departments."

Li Yanxian thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded.

Regarding the army establishment in later generations, what Wang Xiaolie remembered was only the name, as well as the classification of strategies, campaigns, tactics, etc. I really don’t remember how it was divided and what units belonged to which levels. It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. Based on the actual situation and his own understanding,

According to this principle, the army at this time was reorganized. In fact, what is the use of remembering it? The equipment and tactics are different, and the organization will be different.

Seeing that everyone stopped asking, Wang Xiaolie said: "This is what I think. There are about 3,000 people under the control, called a regiment. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a regiment level, but the number was smaller. Come to us

, the number of the regiment increases, and the status increases. Five regiments form one division, and five divisions form one army, which is the army of our Zhenfu Division. Below the regiment, 500 people form a battalion, and 100 people form a capital, about

Teams of ten—"

Li Yanxian couldn't help but frown: "Now the imperial army has a team of hundreds of people, which is quite a lot of people."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The imperial court is only at the third level, we are at the sixth level, there is no comparison. Basically, ten people per team, ten teams per capital, and above, it is a five-five system, up to the army. This is the case for the entire army.

Reorganize.”

Wang Ruohai said: "In this way, there are 100 people in a city, 500 people in a battalion, and 2,500 people in a regiment——"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hands repeatedly: "It can't be calculated like this. What I said is just a rough estimate. The number of people is not fixed. The specific number of people depends on the number of people in the most basic military formation, how many upward commanders, how many reconnaissance cavalry, and how much baggage are needed.

Only by calculating the number of people can we calculate the number of people. The level of cavalry assigned to it, the level of artillery assigned to it, and the number of people are all different. In other words, the configuration of each army is different, and the number of people is also different. "

Wang Ruohai nodded and understood something in his heart. Wang Xiaolie's reorganization was different from the previous Song Dynasty army. It was no longer so casual. Instead, the number of people was calculated based on the actual battlefield and the conditions of fighting and marching. Logically speaking, this

There are some similarities between the second reorganization and Xining's Art of War. It's just that they have different principles and different actual situations, and the results will be very different.

Reorganizing the army is something Wang Xiaolie has been thinking about for a long time. However, since he does not fight a war and does not know the actual military situation, this matter cannot be carried out. Whether it is based on this era or the past life in his memory, it is impossible to imitate the cat and the tiger.

After clarifying the organization of the army, Wang Xiaolie added: "Compared with before, there will be a lot more officers in our army. According to my estimate, the ratio of soldiers to officers is about one to five. Let's not talk about those below the battalion.

There is a headquarters at the regiment level and above. There are about seven people in the headquarters. Taking the regiment level as an example. The commander is the commander, and there is another governor who is the commander of the commander. The commander directs the operations, and the commander is responsible for military merit and military law.

As for matters such as money and food in the army. To put it bluntly, the governor is mainly responsible for internal affairs. He should make the soldiers consciously obey orders, not have any worries, be able to fight, and dare to fight! In wartime, they will command together with the commander, who is also the chief.

"

Wang Ruohai tried to ask: "According to what Zhen Fu said, isn't this the former supervisory army?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, he came from the supervisory army. However, this supervisory army is not temporarily sent from the superiors, but a first-level normal establishment in the army. It is best to be able to control and serve as the general supervisor and the general supervisor.

It can control and be versatile in both civil and military affairs. In the early stages, we will do it step by step."

This is actually the political commissar in Wang Xiaolie's memory. However, in this era, everyone does not understand what political commissar means, but they understand what it means to supervise the army. In the army, this position is actually necessary. Especially when it comes to equality between officers and soldiers.

, military and civilian fish and water conditions, etc., this position is even more indispensable. China has set up supervisory armies in the army since the pre-Qin Dynasty, which is of course not without reason. Among the military generals’ official positions in the Song Dynasty, such as Qianjia, Dujian and other official positions, they were originally supervisors of the army, but they were just accompanying the army.

As time went by, he gradually became a military commander.

Wang Xiaolie set up two chief officers, which was of course different from the previous supervisory army. The supervisory army was sent by his superiors, even the emperor, and had great authority. He gradually usurped the power of the commander. The two chief officers were set up, but the division of labor was different, and they worked together to deal with the situation.

Responsible for the above.

Wang Xiaolie hesitated for a long time about setting up the supervisory army. The position of the supervisory army has been criticized a lot in history, and many defeats were related to them. Setting up a supervisory army in the army can easily arouse the resentment of the commander, who feels that they are here to monitor. There is such a thing

Despite all the disadvantages, it was still established in successive dynasties, which shows that this position has its own significance. After careful consideration, Wang Xiaolie decided to establish this position with reference to later generations of political commissars.

Wang Xiaolie said: "This position is at the military envoy level at the military level, at the battalion level at the custody level, at the regiment level at the governor level, and at the division level at the general level. It is the head of the commander-in-chief, commanding envoys, and controlling.

They are the two chief officers in the army. Their decisions generally go through the headquarters. This is the meaning of the existence of the headquarters. The army is no longer commanded by the commander alone, but is commanded by the headquarters together.

."

Wang Xiaolie has talked about the headquarters many times. Chen Yuyi and others all seem to understand but don't understand why they do this. Now, everyone finally understands why they do this and what the significance of it is. Although they can't quite understand it.

Understand, but generally understand.

Wang Xiaolie said: "In addition to the two chief officers, the third person in the regiment-level headquarters is the deputy commander. Generally speaking, what I plan now is that the deputy commander is also the commander of the central military camp, and he also oversees a line of affairs. That is,

It is said that if the commander unfortunately dies on the battlefield, the person who takes over his command position will be the deputy commander, not the governor. This is called the order of command and the order of positions."

Wang Ruohai nodded and looked at Li Yanxian. Now in Wang Xiaolie's army, Li Yanxian is the commander of the central army, and he also oversees a line of affairs. He is the deputy chief Wang Xiaolie said, that is, the deputy town governor. The town governor.

The envoy has a great degree of independence, and of course there will be no more supervisory troops.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Xiaolie added: "Under the deputy commander, there is the staff officer, who is in charge of military training, operations and other affairs. Under the staff officer, there are the left commander and the right commander. In addition to headquarters affairs, the left commander

The right commander is also in charge of the front and left battalions, and the right commander is also in charge of the affairs of the right and rear battalions. This is just a different division of labor. The left and right commanders are officials of the regiment headquarters, and they are definitely not the commanders of the two battalions. They cannot be confused!"

The remaining people looked at each other and finally understood their roles. In the room now, Wang Xiaolie is the governor of the town, and is also the commander and supervisor of the army. Li Yanxian is the deputy, Wang Ruohai is the staff officer, Shao Ling and Niu

Gao and Gao were in charge of the front, rear, left and right armies. They were talking about the regimental headquarters. In fact, Wang Xiaolie also explained clearly the responsibilities of the chief officers of the Zhenfu Envoy Division.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Although there are two commanders, the most important responsibility of an army lies with the commander. On the battlefield, swords and guns are flying, and it is not uncommon for commanders to have accidents. As far as the regiment level is concerned, commanders have accidents.

, the deputy commander takes over. If the deputy commander has an accident again, the left commander will take over. If the left commander also has an accident, the right commander will take over. If there is still an accident, the deputy commander of the central army will be responsible for the front, left, right and rear respectively.

The commanders will take over in turn."

Everyone nodded. Since the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army is a deputy, the deputy commander-in-chief is responsible for actual affairs. In terms of status, this deputy commander-in-chief is the same as the commander-in-chief of the other four armies, and his ranking is higher.

Move forward.

"At the regiment level, those in charge of the four armies are the left and right commanders; at the battalion level, the left and right commanders are responsible for the bureau; at the division level, the left and right commanders are in charge; at the division level, the left and right commanders are in charge; and at the corps level, the commanders are left and right.

The left and right are both the Marquis of Yu. In our army, Niu Gao is the Marquis of Yu for the Left Capital, and Shao Ling is the Marquis of Yu for the Right Capital."

Niu Gao and Shao Ling looked at each other and finally knew their positions. According to Wang Xiaolie's arrangement, they were officials of the Zhenfu Envoy Department, but they were each responsible for the daily affairs of the two divisions. The office was in the Zhenfu Envoy Department, not

In the lower division, there is no yamen of its own.

After all, although Wang Xiaolie knew that the most suitable organization in this era was the five-five system, he still couldn't forget the three-three system in his memory. The setting of deputy commanders and left and right commanders had the meaning of the three-three system.

Finally, Wang Xiaolie said: "At each level of headquarters, there is one person who has not been mentioned, that is, the secretary. The secretary is responsible for daily chores, including the use of the minister's money. When there are important meetings, he will record them. The seal of the headquarters

, and it is under his control. In other words, this secretary-general can do a lot, but his power is very limited. The secretary-general of the Zhenfu Envoys Department has always been out of control, so please pay more attention."

Everyone looked around, and there were five people in the room. Wang Xiaolie played two roles, and there was still one person missing. Needless to say, the one missing was the secretary. Although the power was not great, the secretary was still a member of the headquarters, and his character was
Chapter completed!
