"Let's get back to the subject, let's talk about things above government affairs for now. Now let's talk about things above military affairs. Most of them are civil servants and don't know much about the military, so I will mention it here, and then I will ask the captains of various ministries to
The generals will pass their ideas back and make plans. However, you can also discuss it and share your opinions. It is the so-called collective effort! By the way, the Logistics Department is divided into military units and is no longer linked to the Chief Affairs Department.
.”
"Before and after this battle, we captured more than 25,000 war horses and 20,000 pack horses. Regarding these horses, everyone has different opinions. What the cavalry battalion means is to expand the size of the cavalry battalion. After all, it is hundreds of miles away.
The cavalry is just a short distance away. The meaning of the infantry is to form cavalry units in the infantry, and the cavalry will cooperate. The infantry does not want to be reduced to a reserve army all the time. You see, how should we arrange it? How can we make full use of it?
Maximum effect.”
Regarding military matters, these civil servants are really not easy to talk about, and they don't know much about how to maximize the effectiveness of cavalry and infantry.
Before anyone else spoke, General Xue Lei of the Youfu Army began to speak. Xue Lei said with some distress: "Sir, it stands to reason that only when the cavalry is concentrated can they play their greatest role and inflict the greatest damage to the enemy. But the recent
Several major battles were fought with cavalry as the main force and infantry as the supplement.
, to the point where the infantry has been reduced to being just a handyman. This is extremely unfair to our infantry. I am not asking for the cavalry to be included in the government army, but I just want to give our four government troops a look, so that no veteran can become the cavalry's subordinate.
Ah, I think our infantry is almost becoming the cavalry's heavy equipment."
Zhao Xun had known about this situation for a long time. Many infantry captains were secretly muttering that the cavalry captains were also captains, but they were already equal to the generals of the government. The infantry's status was much lower than that of the cavalry. Yes.
Therefore, Zhao Xun did not explain much. Cavalry was already scarce, and these battles were fought back and forth at lightning speed. Therefore, the main force was cavalry, supplemented by infantry, but the infantry was by no means inferior to the cavalry.
Seeing Zhao Xun's brow furrowed, Liu Wenqian, who was good at cavalry fighting, said: "General Xue, you are wrong to blame your lord. It's not that your lord is too partial to cavalry. First of all, the cavalry is sparse. Apart from scouts, they are far from scattered.
It is very effective when concentrated. Secondly, the recent battles have required thousands of miles of attack. Except for cavalry, others cannot do it. But again, whether it is the southern or northern front, defending the city is still
When attacking a city, infantry plays a far more important role than cavalry. Not to mention the far-off city of Bai County, where 60,000 to 70,000 cavalrymen have honestly turned into infantry and attacked the city wall step by step? How about this battle?
The contribution of the infantry was ten to a hundred times that of the cavalry. In this battle, the cavalry only assisted the infantry in intercepting the supplies of the Northern Navy. Of course, it also put strong pressure on them and forced them to evacuate the camp."
Liu Wenqian continued: "However, my subordinates believe that infantry and cavalry often need to work hand in hand, and the distinction should not be too clear. If a large-scale organic army is formed, the combination of cavalry and infantry will be inevitable.
, but now the numbers of each unit are sparse, and our opponent is the Mohe Army, so the cavalry cannot be dispersed, otherwise it will not be able to play its due role."
Later, Zhang Yuanjing also said: "I believe that the cavalry and the infantry should have the same official positions, or the two should be equal under the same official positions to avoid causing imbalance in the mind. In addition, in addition to official positions, we should follow the example of the grassland soldiers
Give special titles to brave soldiers like the Ministry, or imitate the imperial court and give titles like Lord or Sanguan to encourage the military morale and make the soldiers have the idea of fighting. If there is a difference between the same official position, give them different titles.
title to show superiority"
When Zhao Xun heard this, he had some ideas in his mind. In fact, the best way is to grant him a reward such as a lordship, but Zhao Xun does not have the qualifications. If he acts recklessly, people may say that he has evil intentions. Then he will
He would be in trouble. But Zhang Yuanjing also gave him a new idea, that is
It is a professional title. It is the same as a captain, with the same position, but different professional titles. This professional title is equivalent to the lord of the imperial court, but here, it is only used in the Huolin Army, and the professional title reflects a soldier's military exploits, salary, etc., so the natural professional title is lower
A good person will keep working hard, so why can't he be looked down upon by others?
This has another effect, because among the Fire Lin Army, the brave men are all wearing flame cloaks. However, because the cost is not small, Zhao Xun decided to cancel it. Another reason is that when the Mohe Army fought, some of them were
Soldiers wearing flame cloaks were targeted
Fang's archers paid special attention to it and regarded it as the primary target, and some brave men were severely damaged as a result. Zhao Xun decided to abandon this method of distinguishing soldiers and replaced it with other methods. When Zhang Yuanjing mentioned it, Zhao Xun
I have a new idea.
"In this case, I will make a general adjustment first. The commanders of the cavalry battalions will no longer be captains, but will be renamed captains, below the generals and above the captains. A lot of horses were captured this time, except for the infantry who were assigned as scouts.
, each cavalry battalion will be increased by one thousand. As for the expansion of soldiers, new battalions will be deployed uniformly." Zhao Xun finally made his decision.
"What Yuan Jing said just now also reminded me that if the soldiers are only supported by money, such an army cannot become an elite. Although we do not have the right to ennoble lords, we can divide the ranks among all the soldiers based on military merit.
, linked to salary and remuneration, to let others know that they are heroes among the Fire Lin Army. Let’s see how to do it. It can be clearly seen by others.
To mark their rank, and it does not affect their combat, it is better to put it in a conspicuous place on their clothes." Speaking of this, Zhao Xun remembered another thing. Every time after a battle, the secretary must count the dead soldiers.
In order to facilitate the compensation afterwards. Because the battlefield was cruel, some soldiers could not be identified. In addition, it was not known whether some soldiers were killed or escaped.
"I have another idea, because it is troublesome and inconvenient to count soldiers after the war. Therefore, I want to equip the soldiers with identity tags. After they die in battle, they only need to find the identity tags and look up the corresponding numbers to find the corresponding number.
With the information provided, post-war pensions will be much more convenient.”
"This is a big deal! My lord, this is indeed worth implementing. Firstly, it will reduce the clerk's workload, and secondly, it will also facilitate the progress of pension affairs. Especially during melees and rapid battles, it is extremely inconvenient to count the dead after the war.
Because some of the wounded also left the brigade and moved to the rear, many secretaries made errors in statistics. This method is feasible!" Xue Lei said repeatedly.
Zhang Jun, Logistics Department, said: "This method is very good, but what is it used to make and what is it made like?"
Then Zhao Xun talked about the soldier's identity card in his previous life. He also planned to give this to the soldiers. Each person would have his own number, wear a thin thread, and hang it on his neck. The corresponding number could be on the corresponding soldier.
On the roster, their family information and address were found.
After a brief discussion by these people, the result came out immediately. The soldier identity token is two fingers wide and one finger long. It is made of iron, and is coated with a layer of mercury to prevent rust. It looks like
The hanging type is normal. The soldier token will have to be confirmed by the recruit camp after it is included as a regular soldier.
They were issued, and the number corresponded to the number of the soldiers when they were registered. To this end, Zhao Xun established a new department responsible for himself, the Military Verification Department, which was responsible for the verification of meritorious soldiers, the registration and registration of new recruits, the pensions of soldiers, and the retirement of retired soldiers.
arrangements and other matters related to soldiers.
Regarding the method of classifying the ranks of soldiers and officers, everyone expressed their own opinions, and the methods they gave were all kinds of strange. There were many people with fantastic ideas, but the soldiers were a group of guys who couldn't read a single word, and they were not used to it at all.
In the end, Zhao Xun chose the simplest and most appropriate method. Ordinary soldiers have levels from one to five, with level one being the lowest and level five being the highest. Level three can be a team leader, level four can be a ten leader, and level five can be a team leader. As for the team,
Officers above the rank cannot be replaced by bravery. Of course, bravery is also an aspect of promotion. These grades are replaced by light green small five-pointed stars, one for first grade, which are displayed on the left sleeve and left collar of the soldiers.
The sentry commander is the same as the soldier, but he only has three levels, which are distinguished by red. The effect is similar to that of the soldier. As for the captain, starting from the beginning, it is no longer divided into simple one, two and three, but is divided into four levels. From low to high.
Yes, Qingqi Xiaowei, Qingqi Xiaowei, Yunqi Xiaowei, Yunqi Xiaowei, and the logo is a small green sword. In addition, their identities also echo with waist badges, tokens, etc. Among their waist badges
Above, there is also the same green sword.
The captains above the school captain are the same as the school captain, but the small sword changes from green to red. In this way, in addition to official positions, different title levels also mark the difference between them and others. Not only that,
These title levels are also related to his treatment and salary. When a five-star soldier meets his team leader, he does not need to be polite. But on the battlefield, he must obey orders.
After listening to Zhao Xun's narration and detailed plan, several people present secretly admired Zhao Xun's flexible mind. Although it seemed to be just a simple division method, it would definitely arouse the ambition of all the soldiers.
"As for the soldier badges and title levels, the Military Verification Department and the Logistics Department will work together to complete it. I will ask the craftsman to assist you. The entire army will cooperate with you at that time, and you must get these things done as soon as possible.
"Zhao Xun said to Zhang Jun, a soldier in the logistics department.
"The following matter is related to both the Logistics Department and various armies. This is the problem of the baggage camp. Although the army is now on the move, the logistics and baggage are recruiting civilians to assist in transportation, but there will also be some problems. The civilians are not trained.
When encountering emergencies, it is often
The situation will be chaotic. The civilians transporting logistics materials usually need to be escorted by large groups of soldiers. This is a very common thing in the Yan Kingdom. But when we fight with the Mohe Army, the cavalry of the Mohe Army that comes and goes without a trace often attacks our logistics.
The baggage brings a fatal blow."
"Considering the arrangement of some veterans, plus some young men who have experienced training, I plan to set up a special baggage camp to be responsible for the army's logistics supplies. Those pack horses are their tools, and of course, they need to be equipped with some
Carriages and weapons. What do you think?" Zhao Xun asked.
The government envoy Pei Yi hesitated and said: "Sir, how big are these logistics teams? What kind of treatment should we give them? Are they equal to soldiers? As a result, our money is no longer enough to support us, at least in the short term. This time in Bai County
Although huge gains were made during World War I, more was needed after the war.
The reconstruction of the county, the subsidies and rewards for the soldiers, and the pensions for the fallen soldiers, all of a sudden, our treasury is almost exhausted. Not to mention the cavalry battalions that are being expanded, it will be a huge consumption. If not
I'm afraid we won't be able to sustain the wealth from the hands of those Mohe troops in Yingzhou Prefecture."
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "The baggage camp can be combined with the new army camp, and it can be used to train new soldiers. As for the treatment, it is half of the soldiers. This can be postponed, there is no rush."
"Sir! Whether from the south or the north, many weapons and bows from the Mohe army have been seized. In addition to the ones used by ourselves, there are many more. What should we do with them?" Lu Ziliang asked.
Zhao Xun was startled when he heard this. Logically speaking, these things would be reworked, but when Lu Ziliang asked a few people, it showed that he had other intentions.
"Tell me, since you ask this, you must have new ideas?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
Lu Ziliang said: "In the short term, we will not continue to fight the Mohe Army, but Shunzhou Prefecture and Weizhou Prefecture are still in the hands of the Mohe Army. In these two places, there are dozens of resistance armies of various sizes and some different
Far from the mountains that surrendered to the Mohe army
Bandits. If they encounter the oppression of the Mohe Army, they must have scarce weapons, so why not trade them? Since they can live under the suppression of the Mohe Army, they must have special abilities, so trading weapons is no problem."
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Okay, this is a good idea. It can not only contain and weaken the Mohe Army, but also provide us with training time and materials. Okay, I will do what you said. Afterwards, spies from all over the country will contact them.
