The reorganization of the army was decided like this.////(.paos_bao&) In order to strengthen the independence and sense of honor of the army, Shang Yi decided to separate the military's official system from the traditional ninth ranks, referring to later generations
The military rank is established, and a brand new military rank system is established.
The name of the military rank is mainly the military ranks of later generations, but Shang Yi also made some modifications. The military ranks are divided into four major levels: "Soldiers and the Generals". Each level is divided into three to five small levels, and the soldiers are divided into primary levels.
Soldier, middle-class corporal, upper-class corporal; corporal, sergeant, sergeant; lieutenant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain; sergeant, major, lieutenant, colonel; general brigade general, major, lieutenant, general
, General; finally Marshal. There are 20 levels in total. All combatants, non-combatants, and civilian personnel of the military system are included in this system.
At the current stage, the military region troops are designated as: commander, deputy commander, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, and deputy chief of staff. The military commander level is designated as major general; the division commander level is designated as brigade general; the brigade commander level is designated as brigade general; the brigade commander level is designated as brigade commander level; the brigade commander level is designated as brigade commander level; the brigade commander level is designated as brigade commander level; the brigade commander level is designated as brigade commander level; the brigade commander level is designated as rank
It is designated as a colonel; the regiment commander is designated as a lieutenant colonel; the battalion commander is designated as a major or a caliber; the company commander is designated as a captain; the platoon commander is designated as a lieutenant or a second lieutenant; the squad leader is designated as a warrant officer or a sergeant.
After the soldiers join the army, they are privateers, and then they can obtain military ranks one by one based on their military merits and achievements; other non-combatants and civilian personnel are also awarded the corresponding military ranks according to their respective enlistment time, rewards, merits, and official positions.
.
Of course, overall, the military ranks are not high, and the highest one is the lieutenant general; this is because Shang Yi considered that there would be a big battle to fight in the future, and everyone's chances of promotion are still very high, so he should also leave it.
There is a certain room for it.
Military rank is a rank system that only military personnel will be awarded. It does not directly correspond to the rank. In addition, each rank has a corresponding mark, which is mainly reflected in the epaulette and badge. In any major ritual
In addition, soldiers can replace other etiquettes with marching salutes, including the big gift of kneeling. This is also a clear provision made by Shang Yi to improve the social status of soldiers.
The soldiers have another honor, which is to wear Yunzhang. Shang Yi issued Yunzhang in the army very early, but Yunzhang was relatively casual at that time, without a unified standard. Now it has been officially confirmed, Yunzhang is divided into three
In addition, the green dragon medal, the red dragon medal, and the yellow dragon medal are successively divided into three types: single dragon, double dragon, and double dragon treasure star. There are nine medals in total, and according to the size of the merit, you can get corresponding rewards.
.
Of course, medals are not just rewarded to soldiers. Other officials, even ordinary people, can also be awarded medals. But only soldiers can be awarded the Huanglong Medal.
However, after the military organization and military rank plan were determined, someone advised Shang Yi that the Nanjing Zhengfu army is now divided into five military regions, of which four military regions are stationed in various places, each with a minimum of 70,000 to 80,000 troops.
There are more than 100,000 people, but the Nanjing Military Region only has 50,000 troops, which are strong branches and weak. We must prevent the separatist parties of various military regions from obeying the orders. Therefore, it is recommended that Shang Yi send his confidants to the local military regions to serve as military supervisors to monitor the situation.
Movements in various military regions.
In fact, dispatching military supervisors in the army is one of the necessary means for emperors to control the army in history, and military supervisors are basically eunuchs and eunuchs, because with the emperor's mentality, normal people are unreliable, only
Eunuchs who are not normal people do not have a substantial threat to imperial power. This is why eunuchs have hated interfering in politics throughout the ages, but the emperor used eunuchs.
But Shang Yi has no eunuchs around him now, and in the future, Shang Yi does not plan to use eunuchs. In addition, Shang Yi is not prepared to use the military supervision system, because although the military supervision system can help the emperor better control the army, it sacrifices the army at the expense of the army.
The combat effectiveness comes at the cost of the main general and the supervisor, which represents their own different interests, and the responsibilities and powers of both sides are difficult to distinguish, so it is often difficult to get along well. Of course, the army with disagreement in the upper class cannot fight with all its heart.
It's right.
However, Shang Yi was not very concerned, and there would be warlord separatism within him. This is not to say that Shang Yi completely believed in his subordinates' loyalty to him. Of course, at present, the military regions have been in charge of Shang Yi.
All loyalty is very high, and there has never been any violation of the order to return to Shangyi, either explicitly or secretly, but this is just a condition to avoid warlord separatism. What is important is that the establishment of the Chinese army is different from that of previous dynasties.
.
In ancient China, there were always two ways to form troops. One was to form troops by the court. However, this was usually in the early stage of a dynasty, with strong national strength and relatively clear politically, so it could be fully developed.
The strength of the army and the whole country was established, such as the early days of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties.
In the middle and late period of the dynasty, due to the decline in national strength and political accelerator, the original army of the court had been corrupted, and the execution ability of the court was greatly reduced. He was unable to reorganize the army, so he had a relatively strong personal ability to form his own group.
The behavior of the army is the best way to form a military force, and it is also praised by later generations. However, among the Qi family army, the Yue family army in the Southern Song Dynasty was actually the same model, including the Liaodong army in the late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
The Hunan Army and the Huai Army all used this method to form troops.
However, this way of forming an army is to use the relationship between fellow villagers as a bond and to protect the personal loyalty to the main general, and has a strong personal color. The strength of the army mostly depends on the personal ability of the main general, and it is determined that it can be formed in a short period of time.
It has considerable combat effectiveness, but cannot last for a long time, and it is also easy to become a private army of a certain person. For example, the Hunan Army and the Huai Army in the late Qing Dynasty did have good combat effectiveness when they first formed the army, but they were very powerful after more than ten years. Including the Yue family
The same is true for the army and Qi family army. After Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang's death, the combat effectiveness of the army was also declining.
When Shang Yi started his rebellion from Shandong, he actually adopted this model, and he was called Shangjiajun for a long time. But he was from the future after all, so he knew the advantages and disadvantages of this army-group model, so he was in
After occupying Zhejiang, a military academy was immediately opened, and the systematic training of military backbones was actually adopted in the modern state's military construction method. Of course, the loyalty to Shang Yi will also be emphasized in the military academy.
Although not every soldier graduated from a military academy, the vast majority of officers have experienced short-term and medium-term military academy training. Therefore, the quality of soldiers and officers can not only be guaranteed, but also strengthen their loyalty to Shang Yi.
It also reduces the psychological dependence on the commanders of each army.
In addition to the Shandong War Zone, all the soldiers' money, food and military pay are directly supplied by the United Front Work Department and sent people to all the troops. This not only reduces the amount of empty pay and deducts military pay, but also cuts off all the money.
The chief general of the army interferes in the affairs of military pay. Without financial power, he will naturally not be able to be assigned to the United Front Work Department. Of course, when the war is in a hurry, the chief general of each army can be temporarily handled. Once the war is over, this right will be
The United Front Work Department immediately took it back. The military region did not interfere with local finances.
Another point is that the Chinese Army is a unit mainly composed of firearms, and the production of guns, guns, gunpowder is firmly controlled by the United Front Work Department. In this way, the troops in various places cannot get rid of their control over the United Front Work Department. , there is no way to be independent.
Of course, only the Shandong Military Region is an exception. After Shang Yi occupied Zhejiang, the Shandong region was actually managed by Zhou Shaohuan. Zhou Shaohuan was not only a young general who Shang Yi attached great importance to training, but also an important figure in the Zhou family and other people in Shandong. Generals, such as Tang Zhen, Tong Dayong, Jiang Yiqu, Bao Tonggang and others, were also the main figures of the Shandong clan. Because Shang Yi was out of reach, Shandong region has always enjoyed great autonomy.
After nearly four years of development, the current Shandong region has a land of about 100,000 square kilometers, with a population of about 3 million. A series of related factories have been established in Shandong. , can basically be self-sufficiency. Zhou Shaohuan and others also made an indelible contribution. Of course, this is inseparable from Shang Yi's full trust and delegation of power.
However, Shang Yi has never relaxed his control over the Shandong Military Region. Of course, this control is not to install a military commander, but to improve the system and adhere to strict management for a long time.
First, Shang Yi arranged for Meng Honggong to handle civil affairs and administrative affairs in Shandong; Meng Honggong did not belong to the Zhou family's delegation. Although he still had to obey the Shandong Military Region, at least the military region could not directly interfere in civil affairs. Secondly, strengthen the development of Shandong. Financial management, monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements must be sent to the United Front Work Department on time, so that Shang Yi can understand the financial situation of the Shandong Military Region and the purpose of each expenditure, so that officials at all levels of the Shandong Military Region will also be allowed to be You cannot hide private fraud easily.
In Shandong Military Academy, Shang Yi was also located in the Shandong Branch of Phoenix Military Academy. The instructors and teachers were mainly sent by Zhejiang. Since there were not many wars in the Shandong War Zone, the Shandong Branch also regularly dispatched students to Hangzhou to study. The military education link began to strengthen control over the Shandong army.
In addition, Shandong Arsenal can only produce general muskets, cannons, grenades and other weapons. The key high-tech weapons such as mercury technology, rifled guns, and heavy artillery are still controlled in Hangzhou Arsenal.
Finally, there is another point. Zhou Shaohuan's father Zhou Shiqi and his brother Zhou Shaoqing were all working in Jiangnan at this time. Although they were both powerful and trusted by Shang Yi, from another perspective, they were said to be Shang Yi staying in the south. The hostage is not wrong.
Therefore, based on so many factors, the Shandong Military Region, which may eventually develop into an independent force, is unlikely to be actually independent.
