Chapter 287 Auxiliary (Eighteen) Class A Tenth Army
"I just don't know whether the commander-in-chief of each region will choose combat soldiers or the production and construction corps?"
As soon as Gao pragmatically said these words, the generals looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know how to answer for a moment. In the end, Qi Jiguang was upright and upright, and said with a smile: "If I were the commander-in-chief of a town, I would definitely choose the soldiers."
Qi Jiguang is one of the two veterans Gao Pragmatic brought today. Although he no longer leads troops, his nephew Qi Jin is the current North Korean general military officer. Therefore, Qi Jiguang's words are equivalent to "
"He helped" Qi Jin make his choice - Qi Jin would certainly not dare to oppose his opinion.
Now, the problem came to Li Chengliang.
Li Chengliang actually didn't want to agree to this. After all, the Li family had become a local snake in Liaodong many years ago. Even though Gao Yuanfu deliberately deployed a large number of Xuan major generals to balance the strength of the Li family when he was in Liaodong, no matter
How can we put it that the Li family is a family of local military generals, while the Xuanda line of generals has always been based in Xuanda, and they are just guest generals in Liaodong. After all, "strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes".
What's more, with the attachment of North Korea, the troops stationed in Liao by the Xuan Dynasty were more or less transferred south to North Korea, which allowed the Li family to continue to regain its prosperity in Liaodong. Under this situation, Li Chengliang really didn't want to
Let the so-called "production and construction corps" go, leaving only the fighting soldiers.
After all, according to the Imperial Guard model, the Production and Construction Corps is in charge of money, while the combat soldiers only spend money - this means that although the combat soldiers are strong, they have to act based on the face of the Production and Construction Corps. Of course, Li Chengliang believes that according to Gao Yuan
In the end, the production and construction corps depends on the expression of the civilian officials. As for whether it depends on the expression of the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Household Affairs, it makes no difference to the Li family.
But now that Qi Jiguang has expressed his stance first, Li Chengliang has no reason to object. Moreover, he now knows very well that the reason why Gao Yuanfu insisted on bringing him, the old man, is probably to force him to express his stance. The objection is actually meaningless -
—What’s the matter, is there anyone in the Ming Dynasty’s military who dares to say no to Mr. Gao Hou?
Li Chengliang coughed dryly, glanced at his youngest son Li Rumei, who was staring at him nervously, and sighed: "Yuanfu has the final say on important matters in the imperial court. Since Yuanfu thinks it should be done, then it must be done. We warriors are naturally willing to do it."
Attachment Jiwei... If this strategy is going to work, then I, the Li family of Tieling, have always been established in the military, so I will naturally choose soldiers."
Gao Pingshi breathed a sigh of relief, but he just smiled and nodded, and glanced at Ma Gui lightly.
What else could Ma Gui say? Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, two military ministers who were awarded the title of earl for their military exploits, did not dare to object even one word. How could he, a direct descendant who had served under Yuan Fu for many years, dare to come out and say that he had different opinions?
?
Ma Gui quickly sat up straight, clasped his fists and said: "General, I have only learned one thing in the past twenty years or so: listening to Yuan Fu is correct. Since Yuan Fu said that he wants to change, he must change it. I am in the cloud.
The entire Ma family agrees and has no objections!"
Okay, very good. Qi Jiguang has great prestige among the military officials, and Dongli and Xima are the strongest. Now that these three families have agreed, there will probably be no one in the Ming army who dares to oppose... Well, the Southern Army
Speaking of which, there is a person who is not bad in terms of prestige and strength, but that person is very coincidental, it is Liu Wei. Humph, if Liu Wei dares to object, I will directly ask Liu Xin to whip her brother with a riding crop.
"Okay! The three marshals are indeed loyal to the country. They agreed without even asking about the establishment. I'm happy, I'm happy! I am very pleased." Gao Pragmatic slapped the table and praised him arrogantly.
road.
Qi Jiguang smiled, Li Chengliang smiled forcefully, and Ma Gui smiled dryly.
Of these three, only Qi Jiguang was truly unselfish about this, and it was immediately obvious why Gao Pragmatic did this. Gao Yuanfu was really thinking his best for the Ming Dynasty's army, and he, Qi, was not moved enough.
How could there be any dissatisfaction?
Li Chengliang asked himself that he was powerless to oppose, no matter what the discussion was about power, wealth, power, holy family... no matter what, the Li family could not compete with Gao pragmatism, so why bother themselves?
As for Gao pragmatically saying that they "didn't even ask about the establishment", Li Chengliang also asked himself that it would be better not to ask - with Gao Yuanfu's method, since he has achieved a complete victory today, and he chose to cooperate fully, then Gao Yuanfu will next
I will definitely give him a sweet date instead of a stick. This is something Li Chengliang can guarantee.
Ma Gui's dry laugh was because he was indeed in a dilemma. On the one hand, the power of the Ma family was able to expand rapidly precisely because of Gao Yuan's support. On the other hand, in recent years, the younger generations of the Ma family were more powerful than the Li family in the military.
The juniors have developed even better and have now occupied many high positions. But at this moment, I "don't even care about the establishment". I don't know if I will suffer too much loss because of this, and it will be hard to explain when I return to the clan?
The three commanders just "smiled and said nothing". Gao Pragmatic also knew that they had different thoughts in their hearts, so he didn't intend to play riddles anymore. He directly took out a list of statements and said: "This is the main measure of this round of military reform.
, To summarize, in addition to the Imperial Guards, the armies of each town in the Ming Dynasty are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. Their organizational size and armed equipment will differ depending on the classification."
Gao pragmatically put the note on the table and saw that except Qi Jiguang, almost everyone was staring nervously at the note pressed by his fingers, as if they were about to grow a pair of clairvoyant eyes and immediately see clearly what was inside.
What did he write? Gao Pingshi couldn't help but smile, pushed this Chen in front of Qi Jiguang, and said warmly: "Dean Qi, please come and read it."
"Dare you disobey your order?" Qi Jiguang said politely, picked up the document without hesitation, opened it, glanced at it, and then read: "The soldiers of the world are divided into four categories. The imperial guards are the emperor's guards and are the weapons of the imperial court.
, so it is listed separately and can be said to be super or special. It has five towns under its jurisdiction, supplemented by a heavy artillery association.
Each town has two infantry regiments, one regiment with 4,038 officers and men; each regiment has two regiments, with 1,756 infantry regiments and 1,117 horse regiments; and each regiment has 1,756 infantry regiments and 1,117 horse regiments.
Divided into three battalions, each battalion has four companies, each company has three rows, and each row has three sheds...
There is one cavalry and artillery team each, with three battalions per battalion, four horse companies per battalion, and three artillery teams; one engineer battalion, four companies per battalion, and three platoons per company; one baggage corps battalion, with four teams per battalion.
The infantry company, artillery company, and engineering company each have three rows with three sheds in each row; the horse company has two rows with two sheds in each row; the baggage company has two rows with three sheds in each row. There is also a military music and drum troupe.
Each branch of the military has two officers and deputy officers, four officers and eight officers. There are 748 officers and clerks in the town, 10,436 officers and 1,000 soldiers.
Three hundred and twenty-eight people, a total of 12,512 people. In this way, the Guards have five towns and one association, totaling 66,598 people."
"Below the Imperial Guards, there is a Category A Corps. The towns and below of Category A Corps are the same as the Imperial Guards. Each army has four towns and 50,048 people in each army. It is planned to organize and train ten armies, respectively.
They are: Liaodong First Army, Jizhou First Army, Xuanfu First Army, Datong First Army, Yansui First Army, Ningxia First Army, Guyuan First Army, Gansu First Army, Seoul First Army,
Ili First Army."
"ah!"
"hiss……"
It seems that Gao Pragmatic's plan for the Tenth Army was somewhat unexpected by the generals. Many people couldn't help but gasped and even said "Ah" in shock.
Gao Pragmatic looked around at the crowd and asked, "What objections do the generals have?"
The generals' hearts were pounding. Li Chengliang had something in his mind but didn't want to speak, so he gave Li Rumei a secret wink.
Li Rumei didn't know what her father was thinking, so she simply asked what she wanted to ask: "Yuan Fu, why is it that among the ten A-type armies there is less Taiyuan, one of the nine sides, but more North Korea, Seoul and... and this
What is Yili? I feel ashamed to say that I am so ignorant and ignorant that I don’t even know where this Yili is?”
Gao pragmatically said: "Ili, in the Western Region, is where I will station my army in the Western Region in the future." After that, he described the importance of the Ili Valley, and finally emphasized: "The importance of Ili is second to none in the Western Region.
If Yili is there, the Western Region will be there; if Yili is lost, the Western Region will be lost. Therefore, I set up an A-type army for Yili, with 50,000 elite troops to control it. It can feed on the river valleys and control the entire region."
When Gao Pragmatic mentioned the importance of the Ili River Valley, all of them were famous generals and naturally knew its value. They did not doubt that there was anything wrong with setting up an A-type army here, and they all nodded to express their understanding.
Li Chengliang thought to himself: "I didn't expect that Gao Yuanfu would organize as many as four towns for a Category A Army, and they are all the same as the towns of the Imperial Guard. This is extremely elite armament, and the firearms and cannons are of the highest quality.
...If our Liaodong Army organizes and trains the four towns according to the armament of the Imperial Guard, it will be much stronger than it is today.
However, in these four military towns, I wonder if the control of the four towns can be controlled by people from my Li family? If the control of the four towns comes from my Li family, then it will be a real bargain, but if it is to be mixed with sand to separate one.
The situation is hard to say when it comes to two towns.
Oh, and also, although the Type A Army is strong, in the final analysis it only has 50,000 troops, and Yuan Fu added the suffix "First Army" to the names of all ten Type A Army, which shows that there should be more
The Second Army' and the 'Third Army' will be used as supplements. But I don't know whose hands these 'Second Army' and 'Third Army' will fall into?"
But at this moment, Qi Jiguang saw that no one continued to ask questions, but he coughed slightly and continued to read: "Each army of the B army has three towns under its jurisdiction, and its armament is second to that of the Imperial Guard and the A armies, and the number of people in each town remains unchanged.
, each army has 37,536 men. There are a total of 18 armies, which are located in the following cities: Nanjing, Fengyang, Xingdu, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Wuchang, Changsha, Guangzhou, Nanning, Guiyang,
When everyone heard this, they secretly thought: It turns out that Taiyuan was demoted this time. It was obviously one of the nine sides, but it was not set to Category A. It only got a Category B military establishment... But, why is this?
As a general of the Xuan Dynasty, the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong and Taiyuan are actually "Shanxi military towns" and have been regarded as one for many years, so at this time Ma Gui couldn't help it and asked: "Yuanfu, Xuanfu?"
There is an A-type army in Daer Town, so why was Taiyuan downgraded to a B-type army? Taiyuan Town is the main force to guard against the Ordos Mongolian army marching eastward into the Hebei Plain. This downgrade is probably..."
Gao Jingshi waved his hand lightly and said: "By the time the adaptation is completed, Taiyuan will probably no longer have to bear this important responsibility."
"Ah?" Ma Gui was stunned. What does it mean that there is no such important responsibility to shoulder?
"When the Western Region is retaken, the Ordos tribe will be ordered to move westward. From then on, it will assist the Yili First Army in the Ili Valley to guard the Western Region." Gao pragmatically said calmly: "In addition to infantry and artillery, the cavalry of the Yili First Army will be mainly heavy cavalry.
The Ordos Division will be all light cavalry. At that time, the light and heavy forces will be coordinated, and the Ordos Division will be mainly responsible for handling the small groups of enemy troops outside the river valley. Only when the enemy's heavy troops and giant bandits appear, the Yili First Army will go into battle."

PS: At the beginning, I thought about organizing five A-type armies first. Then I thought that the distribution of benefits would be a bit difficult, and the "five main forces" sounded very ominous... In the end, it was doubled, and it was perfect.
