The position of Chief of the Military Law of the Division was newly established by Eunuch Wei. He was similar to the commander Tongzhi in the Ming army's military system. Both were deputy officers and were in charge of military discipline. Similar to the position of the official position, there were also the tutors of the Hundred Houses and Thousand Houses.

Wu Fuming is different from Cao Wenyao. His goodness is not to lead troops, but to manage troops. However, Cao Wenyao can manage and fight, which is related to Cao's origin as a general in Shanxi.

In all dynasties, except for the founding period, the army became monks halfway through the founding period, and from small soldiers to fight all the way as famous generals, they were mostly dominated by the children of generals and families. Many ways to train and manage troops, and the secrets of the generals and sects were not passed on. Of course, the hereditary system of military titles was also the main reason for this phenomenon. For example, Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Jiajing Dynasty, inherited his position at the age of 16 and served as the commander of the Dengzhou Guard. This position is roughly equivalent to the colonel of later generations.

Wu Fuming was a young man who recruited him into Yansui Town on the Jiubian. When he was transferred to Wuxiang Right Guard, he was just a chief bannerman, and there was still a big gap with the children of Cao Wenyao. However, the Cao family in Datong, Shanxi was shining in the late Ming Dynasty. Cao Wenzhao, the world's best general, was the eldest brother of Cao Wenyao's legitimate relative, and the first fierce general, Cao Bianjiao, was Cao Wenyao's son, which was really not comparable to Wu Fuming.

Eunuch Wei appointed Cao Wenyao as the leader of the Guards Division. In addition to paying attention to Cao Wenyao's ability and loyalty, he also hoped to bring Cao Wenzhao under his command through this move. As for Xiao Bianjiao's godson, it must be a foregone conclusion.

In view of Wu Fuming's good at managing troops, Eunuch Wei made a special arrangement.

The issue of military discipline is an issue that he attached great importance to. Without military discipline, there would be no strong army. My father-in-law hopes that Wu Fuming can serve as the chief of the military law and make his own contribution to the strength of the imperial army.

After reading the list of appointments and removals of middle and senior officers, Jiang Xifeng announced the division officer rank plan formulated by the Staff Office in accordance with the principle of "combination of ranks" by Eunuch Wei.

The specific plan was that Eunuch Wei did not bring the later lieutenants or generals, but directly applied the current Ming army rank system.

That is, the division commander is the commander, the brigade commander is the commander, the brigade commander is the commander, the brigade commander is the rank of Thousand Houses, the squadron leader is the rank of Hundred Houses, and the squad leader is the rank of General Banners. Another deputy, the assistant officer is the staff officer, military discipline, and logistics. He ordered all military positions to be the commander, deputy Thousand Houses, the test of Hundred Houses, and the small flag.

To put it bluntly, a series of military positions in the Wei Sect system are actually the ranks of the Ming army. This military system was determined at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Although the military system has been corrupt, the Beijing camp, including the nine borders and local garrisons, and the generals still hold military titles of the Wei Sect system. For example, the Liaodong General is only a position, and his actual military rank may be a commander or a commander. If he has made great achievements, this actual military rank may become a hereditary military title.

The new division rank and matching plan, to put it bluntly, the division commander replaced the general officer, and the brigade commander replaced the commander Tongzhi, but don’t underestimate this replacement. In fact, it is a major reform to the current chaotic military system of the Ming Dynasty.

In the era without Eunuch Wei, the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly chaotic due to the garrison system and the nine-sided recruitment system, which eventually led to the dissatisfaction between the generals. Those who had added seals and did not add seals regarded themselves as the bosses, which invisibly accelerated the warlordization of the generals. Not only did they suppress the uprising of peasants, but they also broke up against the Qing Dynasty, which eventually led to the fall of China in the hands of alien Tartars.

The division system can solve this problem well, and make the principle of matching the military merits of the position and the military merits officially fixed. In the future, the implementation of the entire army can solve historical problems and better integrate the military resources of the Ming Dynasty.

The emergence of the division system also means that the former generals, deputy generals, guards, and Dushi will be eliminated from the Imperial Army, but it does not mean that the official positions of these generals have been deprived, but it is not applicable at present.

This is also the disadvantage left by Eunuch Wei's current inability to rectify the Ming military system, so he could only use curved measures to save the country and promote it within the imperial army. When asking for merit from the emperor, the generals' original positions must be written in the memorial.

This temporary word, at least before the Apocalypse, may not be removed.

The naval generals who attended the meeting found that they had nothing to do with them now. The appointed army generals were very happy, especially those who surrendered in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign against the reactionary nobles of Nandu. They grinned with joy, and at the same time they completely put a nervous heart back in their stomachs.

Li Zhaoji, appointed as the captain of the artillery corps, Xu Biao, Xu Guang, Wu Sansi and others, who were appointed as the captain of the infantry brigade, have been "idle" since they followed Eunuch Wei to the special zone. They have not been promoted in the imperial army and dared not return to Nandu. That mentality must be quite difficult. But now, the A-level division formed by Eunuch Wei has their place, and a group of people are naturally full of joy.

Jiang Xifeng read out the candidates for officers above the brigade captain, and there is also a list of the staff department below the squadron leader, but there is definitely no need to read out at this meeting of middle and senior generals.

The army generals who successfully advanced to the A-level division immediately became concerned about their military source. You must know whether they can make a fortune in the future depends not only on their own bravery and luck, but also on the combat effectiveness of their subordinates. Now, in the Imperial Army, which soldiers can fight and which soldiers cannot fight, is a bit clear in the minds of the army generals.

Unfortunately, Eunuch Wei did not let them choose their subordinates in the army, but had already made arrangements.

The main soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Army include three infantry battalions of the former Wuxiang Right Guard Banner, and one mobile soldier battalion extracted by the Navy, with a total of more than 4,500 people. There are more than 800 people in the personal guards of the father-in-law, with a total force of nearly 5,400 people.

In addition to these regular soldiers, more than 400 Ningbo Dinghai Guard officers and soldiers, more than 2,400 Nandu soldiers were captured, more than 1,200 noble family soldiers who were taken to the Special Administrative Region to serve "hard labor" (no ransom payment), more than 1,100 surrendered soldiers from Prince Li Qi of Jinzhou captured more than 4,000 young and strong men of all races transported back from Kuan Dian Sea, and more than 600 young and strong men from North Korea, totaling about 1,000.

In addition, after his father-in-law went south, some soldiers recruited from the local area. The number was not too large, less than 500. There were more than a thousand guards at the Langshan Fort in Nantong, more than 1,200 Japanese soldiers were surrendered outside the pass that Yang Hao gave him, and more than 100 Liaodong soldiers brought by Wang Weidong. Mr. Li Qi brought more than 1,000 Liaodong miners for him, and the total number was about 4,000.

These are the army, and the navy, but the former Wusong River Camp, with more than 4,000 troops. The scale of the troops is not too large and it is impossible to replenish the army.

In other words, the Guard Division assigned by the father-in-law was 28,000 and the Taiwan Security Division was 18,000. However, the father-in-law was in charge of captives. The young and strong civilians combined together were only less than 21,000.

The 21,000 people have to be deducted from the 3,000 people for the Taiwan Security Division to set up a stand. Then the Guard Division can only be reorganized from the remaining 18,000 people, with a soldier gap of up to 10,000.

There is no way to replenish this gap? My father-in-law has no choice but to do so. He has ordered people to go to the Liyang Iron Mine with a post and ordered Song Sibao to draw 2,000 miners to send to the Special Administrative Region to solve the urgent problem first. The remaining 8,000 people can only slowly check whether they can recruit troops in Taiwan to supplement the Guard Division. Pidao and North Korea will definitely not be able to draw troops. The two territories have not had many troops. If the troops left are insufficient, it will be difficult to capture Seoul.

The current 20,000 soldiers, my father-in-law ordered all of them to be organized into the Guard Division according to the principle of veterans leading new soldiers, but each regiment was empty of one brigade.

After the meeting, Cao Wenyao, the new commander of the Guard Division, started the army organization and the Staff Office. Eunuch Wei also took the time to inspect the reorganization process. When he was "gathering" with the officers and soldiers of the newly formed First Regiment, Eunuch Wei put forward the slogan "Four-have good soldiers" for the first time.

Which four are there?
