Chapter 1059: Yuhu adds wings, bear, lion and fierce whale
After this round of military reform, Wang Yu significantly reduced local military power, avoiding the possibility of local expansion.
In other words, as long as this system continues to be implemented, the local factions have basically lost the confidence to become powerful. Unless it is the last years of the dynasty, all kinds of chaos have given careerists time and opportunities to develop and grow.
In the original Da Cang, each capital's military establishment was basically maintained at 100,000.
However, each channel has its own changes based on its specific circumstances.
Relatively poor roads like Shanyang and Yannan have a nominal strength of 100,000, but the actual strength is absolutely impossible to reach this number. For example, in Yannan back then, the government army only had a strength of 50,000.
As for the Land of Four Rivers, which is extremely rich and has the important task of guarding the imperial capital and supporting the border areas at any time, their actual military establishment has already exceeded 100,000.
At its peak, Hebei Province even had an army of 200,000.
But after this military reform, Wang Yu only reserved 50,000 troops for each province.
In addition to the government army, there is also a border army. One hundred thousand guards at Tianlang Pass are divided into the ranks of the border army.
In the future, if Sanyin takes over, perhaps the number of border troops will further expand.
But at least, this is the only soldier and horse that has been temporarily classified as a border army.
Moreover, the border army was organized into military households. Anyone who joined the border army had their family members moved to the border areas since they entered the military household, and they were allocated a certain amount of land based on the family size and the number of people joining the army in each household.
For those who join a military household, the next generation must inherit their father's legacy and also enter the border army system. Otherwise, the military households will be taken back and their land will be distributed.
If soldiers can make meritorious deeds, they can also get the opportunity to leave the military household, and their land can be retained.
Of course, the system of border troops and military households is only preliminary. As for the standards corresponding to the land of military households, as well as the various levels of rewards for soldiers who have made meritorious services, and the level of merit required to break away from military households, these systems are all required
It will be improved bit by bit in the following practical operations.
Even Guan Zhong cannot make a hasty decision just by talking about it. What is the specific standard? It is necessary to refer to the current actual situation and the planning and analysis of big data to get an answer.
It requires layers of calculations and consideration of various realistic situations.
Usually, although many officers and soldiers of the Zhendong Army have been in the army for several generations and are almost equivalent to military households, there is no such formal system after all. Therefore, it cannot be generalized and can only be used as a reference.
Apart from the government army and the border army, the real bulk and the most different thing from the previous Da Cang military system is the field army that is about to be formed.
It can be said that all the forces resulting from the reduction of the government army were used to strengthen the field army.
The field army exists as a rapid reaction force. It does not assume the task of garrisoning various places in peacetime. It is only responsible for assisting in the defense of the area where it is stationed. However, it is responsible for supporting all parties when necessary.
Moreover, they are also the main force in external expansion operations, which is also their most important responsibility. It can be said that they will be the main force on the battlefield in the future, and they will be responsible for most of the wars in the future.
The First Army, the Feiyu Army, is the smallest among the five field armies, with only 50,000 troops. However, it is also the one that Wang Yu values the most, and is even named after him.
Nothing else, just because this unit is composed of pure cavalry soldiers and horses.
After the disintegration of the Zhendong Army, it was reorganized and reorganized. The most important force was formed into this Feiyu Army.
This one can be said to be a different kind of Zhendong Army.
After all, the other four field armies disrupted and integrated the Zhendong Army and Wang Yu's troops with each other in order to completely crush the Zhendong military group.
There is only this Feiyu Army, and all its personnel are from the original Zhendong Army, and the various factions of the Zhendong Army are still united internally.
This was also a helpless matter. Wang Yu had no choice but to do this if he wanted to form such a pure cavalry regiment.
The main troops and horses under his command, the cavalry components are mainly from the former Zhendong Army. Although Wang Yu has formed many troops and horses over the years, more than 90% of them are mainly infantry. The real
The cavalry only accounted for a very small proportion.
Furthermore, this also gives the people of the Zhendong Military Group the last piece of soil to survive, so that they will not jump over the wall in a hurry and wait for the next solution of boiling the frog.
In Da Cang's grassroots military system, there are five people in a corps, a team leader, ten people in a team, a team leader, fifty people in a team, a team leader, a hundred people in a camp, and a team leader of five hundred people.
, the song is led by the military commander, and the two songs are combined into one song, directed by the school captain.
Wang Yu has not changed the grassroots military system. Since this grassroots military system has been used for nearly a thousand years, this is not unreasonable!
As for other senior time travellers, they insist on forcibly changing the ancient military system into a modern military system, and create some squads, platoons, companies, and regiments, which makes no sense!
The current military system does not mean that it is suitable for the background of ancient cold weapons.
The most basic unit of ancient military units is because from the early days, military formations were basically composed of five people as a fighting unit. In the book "Sima Fa", five people used bows, spears, spears, and guns respectively.
Halberd, when forming a column battle formation, the short weapons are in front and the long weapons are in the back. Five groups are arranged in a square formation "two", with two commanders as armored men and in the middle as the commander.
In the later period, although there were some changes, it was basically a small fighting group of five people. Each person used different weapons, including sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers, forming a small group.
cooperation.
This is not at all like what is shown on TV, where archers are all archers and pikemen are all pikemen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It can be said that if the modern military system is changed to ancient times, it is not just a military system that is changed, but also various military formations of combat knowledge.
If you only change the military system without making corresponding changes to the military formation, you will simply go up and kill people.
Furthermore, the establishment of the modern army is generally unified. The establishment in peacetime and wartime is basically the same. If it needs to be mobilized, it will be an organic deployment.
However, another important feature of the ancient army's organization is that the basic fixed organization gradually shrank in size. Later, troops with more than a thousand people became more accustomed to using temporary organization methods.
In the grass-roots military system, the infantry has not made any changes, but the cavalry has undergone certain changes. There are hundreds of people in a camp, and there is a camp commander.
They were combined into one unit and commanded by the captain.
The reason why certain changes were made at the Marquis level is because the scale of cavalry battles is much smaller than that of infantry.
Above the captain, the next step is the military establishment.
However, there is no fixed standard for the establishment of this level, and the specific number is determined by the specific battle direction.
The Second Army, the Huben Army, is the largest army among the five field armies, with a total number of 150,000.
Among them, there are 130,000 infantry troops of various types, 15,000 cavalry, and 5,000 chariot troops.
Chariot soldiers, although this unit has withdrawn from the mainstream of the times, it is undeniable that this unit also has its unique advantages, but it is subject to some restrictions, and the military expenditure is not low. It is precisely because of this cost-effectiveness that one step
Stepping towards elimination.
However, although the cost performance is not high, if it is used in a specific environment, the effect it can exert is even better than that of the cavalry, especially the frontal impact capability.
Therefore, although the major dynasties said that they had eliminated this breed, they did not give up completely. Each major dynasty established a small number of chariot units, and they were all trained as elites. They were not usually used, but
Use it to hit a crucial blow.
The light chariot and tiger cavalry back then were the most typical example.
Chariot soldiers, their military system is different. They are united by rides. One ride represents a chariot. Each ride has 10 soldiers. Three of them get on the chariot to fight. One soldier is responsible for driving the horse, and one soldier is responsible for driving the horse.
Holding weapons such as guns or spears, halberds, and spears, one soldier holds a bow and arrow. Seven others fight under the chariot and are also responsible for raising horses, maintaining the chariot and other auxiliary tasks.
A chariot formation of 5,000 people represents five hundred chariots.
The two words "Hu and Ben" also fully illustrate Wang Yu's expectations for a troop of soldiers and horses, hoping that they can serve as the first main force. In the army, only those who are brave or brave are qualified.
Called Tiger Ben.
The third army and the fourth army were named Barbarian Bear and Iron Lion respectively. Each army had 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 90,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry respectively.
The Fifth Army, on the other hand, is a navy establishment, the Fierce Whale. After the new recruitment and combination, the total establishment is estimated to be 60,000.
However, this army is quite special. Although it is one army in name, it is actually divided into two armies.
The first army is the former Yanbei Navy, which is mainly based on the maritime fleet, and the warships are basically large warships and super large warships.
The other part is the Tianhe Navy of the Inland Navy, with Gan Ning and Shi Lang serving as the left and right generals respectively, mainly with some large warships and the main force of small and medium-sized warships.
In addition to them, elite battalions of different sizes, such as the Black Cavalry, the Golden Fire Cavalry, the First Dead Soldiers, the Trapped Camp, and the Euphorbia Soldiers, are organized into separate armies, although they are usually assigned to each of the five major forces.
Within the main field force, however, it does not occupy the establishment of these five main field forces.
The regulations on military reform have been finalized. As for the next step, it will be implemented slowly step by step.
While carrying out military reforms, Wang Yu also rearranged the generals of various provinces. With the subsequent weakening of the Fujun and the emergence of the field army, many generals must be transferred from the Fujun to the field army.
The Kwantung Army and the Yi Xie Army are currently engaged in a war. Therefore, the two soldiers and horses are not included in the scope of military reform.
Moreover, although Xiping Road has actually fallen into the hands of Wang Yu, at least in name it still belongs to the small court of Dongyi. Therefore, it is not advisable to act too hastily at this time.
Furthermore, even if the Kwantung Army and the Yi Xie Army really want to change in the future, it will be relatively easy. The former can directly change them into frontier armies, or another field army, while the Yi Xie Army is exactly the same as the frontier army.
Da Cang’s army.
In addition, Su Dingfang's generals were not transferred.
Moreover, the military reforms of Su Dingfang's troops had to be postponed and could only be carried out after the war was over.
Once Su Dingfang conquers the four small dynasties, they will be re-adapted.
At present, Su Dingfang's department is only within the plan, and the specific implementation will be followed.
Of course, the same principle applies to Meng Tian's troops. They must complete their plan first and implement it in detail after the war.
At present, it is tentatively decided that Xiao Dong, Lei Wanjun, Guo Ziyi, Chang Yuchun, and Feng Yi will be in charge of the five marching generals of Shanyang, Yannan, Hebei, Hedong, and Yanbei.
If you hit someone with a stick, you should also give someone a sweet date.
This time, due to the reorganization and reorganization of the Zhendong Army, the interests of the power factions at the top and bottom of the Zhendong Army have suffered a huge blow, and this can also be regarded as a kind of compensation or helplessness.
compromise.
If you really don't give people any way to survive, then you are forcing them to rebel!
Wang Dangzhi, the leader of the four generals in Zhendong, has lost his life in this incident, which has aroused the sadness of many people. Therefore, it also has the meaning of comfort.
Reusing the remaining three of Zhendong's four generals was Wang Yu's way of telling them that the three of them were still Wang Yu's uncles and they were people he needed to rely on.
In addition, it is logical to transfer them away from Yanbei and away from their base.
Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of 100,000 frontier troops, still holds the important task of being the commander-in-chief of Tianlang Pass.
The Feiyu Legion is temporarily under the control of Wang Yu himself.
The most numerous Tiger and Ben legion, the only choice to lead this legion was Han Xin.
Under Wang Yu, no one can stop Han Xin from serving as the commander of this army.
And if Han Xin does not serve as the commander of this army, but serves as the commander of either of the two armies, the Barbarian Bear and the Iron Lion, then the Huben army will not be able to find a suitable candidate for the army commander.
Unless, the commander of this legion is also personally led by Wang Yu.
The Huben Army is stationed in the land of Hebei. Once changes occur south of the river, they can attack south of the river at any time.
The commanders of these two legions, Barbarian Bear and Iron Lion, are Meng Tian and Xue Rengui respectively.
The Barbarian Bear Legion is stationed at the junction of Yannan and Yanbei. No matter where there are changes in these two places, this legion can play its role as a mobile force.
The Iron Lion Corps is stationed at the junction of Shanyang and Hedong. The same is true. No matter where something happens in Shanyang or Hedong, they will help immediately.
