Chapter 232 Eighth Division and Twelfth Brigade Reorganization Plan

In mid-June of the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Jinyi Guardian came up with the latest information. After the defeat of Xuanhua, Li Zicheng retreated to Taiyuan with his main force to rest. Datong was handed over to Jiang Xiang to continue his charge, and Chen Qiyu re-established the Shanxi Governor's Office in Fanyang. His attitude towards the court was not clear. Sun Chuanting, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, reoccupied Luoyang, but did not announce his loyalty to the new emperor for the time being, and continued to use the Chongzhen reign. In the southern provinces such as Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang have determined to announce their loyalty to Nanjing and switch to the Hongguang reign.

The people in Donglin were also uncreative. When the Prince of Nanjing ascended the throne, they used the year number used when the Fu King became emperor in real history. It seemed that the year number seemed to be prepared.

It is hard to judge where Li Zicheng would use troops after resting for a while. The situation in the world has changed drastically, and Zhu Youjian could not judge with the historical direction he remembered. Logically speaking, the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Xuanhua would make Li Zicheng grow up with a little memory and dare not fight the northern expedition at will, but this guy might not remember to remember to eat or fight, and insist on going north to fight with him.

Therefore, taking advantage of this period of calm, it is necessary to make military preparations well. Unlike the central government system for the time being, Zhu Youjian's idea in military affairs was to change completely from top to bottom.

"All the generals, as well as the cabinet, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Ministry of War, the Taipu Temple, and the Jinyiwei are all here. I will now talk about the main strategy of this military reform. The highest military decision-making body after the Ming Dynasty was the Military Order Hall, which was directly under my control. Ordinary military orders were issued by the Central Army Governor's Office and reported to me for review. The Five Army Governor's Office was retained, but their functions would undergo major changes. The Central Army Governor's Office is also called the Military Order Hall and the Issuance of the entire army. The Later Army Governor's Office is also called the Military Order Hall and the issuance of the war orders.

The General Logistics Department is responsible for the logistics affairs of the entire army, including money, grain, military supplies, etc. The Former Army Governor's Office is also called the General Staff Department, responsible for the praise of military strategy and strategy agreement. The Right Army Governor's Office is also called the General Equipment Department, responsible for the production, development and distribution of military ordnances of the entire army! The Left Army Governor's Office is also called the General Military Department, responsible for the supervision of military orders, military discipline implementation, and the review of military merits and the review of personnel work by officers." This structure is basically modeled on the four headquarters system of later generations, but there is only one military command.

After drinking a sip of tea, Zhu Youjian continued to speak: "The Central Army Governor's Office is basically the same as the Military Order Hall, with two titles. One Central Army Governor, one Military Order Hall deacon, seven Deputy Governors, and one Military Order Hall holds the Zang. The other four military governors, the Minister of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of Taipu Temple, and the Commander of the Capital Governor's Office. The difference between the Military Order Hall and the Central Army Governor's Office is that the Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet will also have a quota of deacons. The Military Order Hall is two deacons and seven priests are arranged. All members of the Military Order Hall discuss and report to me with seals. A regular military strategy with a regular military strategy will be discussed by the Central Army Governor's Office, and the Central Army Governor will issue, and report to me for deliberation, and the cabinet will be recorded and kept."

Hearing this, Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, almost became anxious! With this, the military power of the Ministry of War was lost. He really couldn't imagine that there could be any other military power that the Ministry of War could do.

"All matters involving military power in the Imperial Horse Supervision will be transferred to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and will no longer be involved in the military! The military affairs that the Ministry of War will be responsible for in the future are as follows: 1. The recruitment and recruitment of the entire army shall be carried out by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War under the provincial, prefecture and county government agencies! 2. The recruitment and teaching of the school school students shall be carried out by the Ministry of War. 3. The defense, defense area planning and construction of the State Council shall be carried out by the Ministry of War. 4. The overall budget of military expenditure shall be roughly calculated by the Governor's Office of the Later Army, and then reported to the Ministry of War for review and then the court for discussion. There are no conditions for this work to be carried out for the time being. Taipu Temple will hand over the affairs directly involved in the military to the Military Order Hall, and will be considered half a military institution. Except for Taipu Temple and the Ministry of War, other military institutions shall not participate in civil affairs, especially in business affairs. The army is for defending the country and fighting! I and the court will find a way to find a way for funding!"

After the general order center reform was briefly explained, Zhu Youjian talked about the arrangements for this area. The central army general was naturally Huang Degong, the rear army general was temporarily Chen Xinjia, the left army general was Zhang Guowei of the Ministry of War, the former army general was Zhang Fengxiang, and the right army general was Wang Zhixin of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. In addition, Ma Ke, Bai Guangen and Tang Tong were the deputy governor of the former army, Qin Liangyu also served as deputy governor of the left army, Song Yingxing also served as deputy governor of the right army, Wang Dehua and Taipu Temple Qing also served as deputy governor of the rear army. After the restructuring is completed, the final candidate will be determined. In the end, all personnel from all military departments, including the Ministry of War will be converted into military officer system, regardless of whether they were civil servants or eunuchs before.

"Tentatively, the Ming Dynasty's war soldiers were organized into eight main combat divisions, and four independent brigades were set up! Among them, four main combat divisions were organized into two reorganized troops. The reorganized troops consisted of two divisions, one military cavalry regiment, one artillery regiment, two baggage regiments, one military hospital, and some other miscellaneous personnel, a cavalry assault brigade, one heavy artillery brigade, and two carriage motor brigades were arranged as war support forces. This is the combat military system, and there are eight security brigades temporarily arranged, which are stationed in the main prefectures and counties in northern Zhili, and are responsible for the local area. This is the combat military system.

Defense and security brigades may be subject to the Governor of the garrison when encountering emergencies and emergencies. The military units above the brigade, front, back, left, right, and fourth-army Governor's Office must send corresponding personnel to assist the military chief officer in handling daily affairs. The command center of the military unit shall be formed by their chief officers. In normal times, military orders shall be decided by the command center, and in wartime, military chief officers may act arbitrarily! When the military chief officer cannot be in charge of the director, the deputy military chief officer shall be replaced at the same position, and when the deputy military chief officer cannot be in charge of the director, the chief of staff responsible for the military affairs of the former army shall be taken over by the chief officer in charge of the military affairs of the former army."

With eight main combat divisions, four brigades, and two military headquarters, the total number of soldiers will be 130,000 to 140,000, plus the garrison and security brigades in the capital, the total strength is 170,000 to 180,000. At present, fiscal revenue and expenditure can only support so many standing troops at most. After roughly, as long as the reorganization is in place, so many soldiers should be enough to cope with the current situation. At present, the enemy, except for Li Zicheng, does not have so many troops available. Although Li Zicheng has a large number of people, there are not so many people who are really used, so the troops are temporarily enough.

Zhu Youjian's idea was two reorganized troops, one of which was composed of a cavalry division and a mule-horse infantry division, which was considered super mobile forces, and the other was conventional armed forces. Four independent main combat divisions were stationed in Baoding, Xuanhua, Miyun, and Shanhaiguan. The four independent brigades were used as support forces during major wars. The security brigade was responsible for local security affairs in normal times and had to be used as logistics support forces in wartime. In the capital, Qin Liangyu's white-rod soldiers and the Han army generals of the Jinyi Guard were responsible for palace garrisons, ceremonial guards, and daily defenses in the capital. If the capital was approaching the capital, other combat troops would definitely be transferred to the city for defense. As for the daily security in the city, it would be necessary to establish a security team to solve the problem.
