Chapter 1069 Military System Reform

In this meeting, the government affairs part is only incidental, and the real focus is on military affairs.

A new round of military system reform officially started under Shang Ji's signal.

Every time there is a major war, there will be a military reform, and this opportunity has become the practice of the merchant army.

Without exception, it was Liu Yi who supported the reform of military affairs this time.

Liu Yi got up first, and gave everyone a brief introduction to the general situation of Shang Jijun at this time.

"Gentlemen and colleagues, according to the latest statistics, in the two prefectures of Pingchen and the Grassland Protectorate, our army has 14.56 million registered regular soldiers, of which 6.2 million are soldiers and 700,000 are soldiers. 1.4 million, and another 960,000 sailors (including the scale sailors stationed in the port and the auxiliary arms Popeye)."

"According to the division of combat power, the more than 14.5 million soldiers were killed, and the 7.4 million guards were all soldiers of the fifth rank. Among the soldiers, there were more than 4.3 million soldiers of the sixth rank and 170 thousand soldiers of the seventh rank. 100,000 soldiers, 198,000 soldiers of the eighth rank, and 36,540 soldiers of the ninth rank."

"In terms of troop distribution, nine million troops have been stationed in the eight counties of Chenzhou, accounting for the majority of our army's total strength; 800,000 troops are stationed in the Prairie Protectorate, and another one just arranged by the lord is stationed in Quanjin, Youzhou. 170,000 troops (including naval divisions), and the rest are stationed in various parts of Pingzhou."

After listening to Liu Yi's introduction, everyone was also amazed, followed by a burst of pride.

If it is simply counting the strength of troops, the Shang Ji army has 14 million people, which is not outstanding among the princes. If you consider the area of ​​Shangji's control area, it can even be described as tense troops.

Taking Jizhou as an example, long before the national war, the total strength of Jizhou exceeded the 20 million mark. With the passage of time, the relationship between Han Fu and Yuan Shao became more and more tense, and the total military strength of Jizhou was also rapidly expanding. According to the information reported by Qian Huan, Jizhou has a total of zero and zero troops, and the total number of troops in Jizhou exceeds 30 million!

The total strength of the army is more than twice that of the Shangji army, but given the courage of Han Fu, he definitely believes that the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Jizhou army is higher than that of the Shangji army!

Soldiers are more expensive than elites, this is especially evident in the beacon fire!

The minimum standard for the regular army of the Shangji Army is Tier 5, the minimum standard for the main combat army is Tier 6, and the number of troops of Tier 7 and above is nearly two million, which is beyond the reach of the Jizhou Army.

In the Shangji army, the fifth-tier army can only be used as the second line, and it is the main force in Jizhou. Most of the Jizhou army is only the fourth-tier army that has been completely eliminated by Shangji!

This is only about soldiers,

If you count the generals, the Shang Ji army has a greater advantage.

"In addition to the registered soldiers, there are 8,362 registered semi-military groups such as hunting groups, gangs, bodyguards, and adventure teams within the territory ruled by our army, with a total of 170,000 members; in addition, the Ranger Club has a total of legal There are 220,000 registered rangers, and if necessary, these personnel can be mobilized to join the battle at any time."

"In addition, our army also has two special legions, the Battle Soul of the Battle Soul Monument and the Yanhuang Heroic Spirits of the Yanhuang Temple. At special times and places, they can play a role that is not inferior to hundreds of millions of soldiers!"

So far, Liu Yi's concluding introduction about the Shang Ji Army is over.

Although he knew the details of the army a long time ago, Shang Ji was still a little excited.

More than 10 million troops and more than one billion people, all of these are under his control. Back then, the man who made Shang Ji swear eternal allegiance and was willing to die, only ruled over 20 million people. Now, in the area he controls, whether it is the number of troops, the territory, or the people, there are dozens of people. It surpassed the former by hundreds of times.

"In view of the changes in the war situation, in order to follow the trend, give full play to the advantages of our army's combat effectiveness, and lay the foundation for future wars, we will carry out further reforms to the army in accordance with the Lord's instructions!"

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he looked at Shang Ji.

Only then did Shang Ji react from his imagining just now, he coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, thank you, continue to read out our preliminary plan for military system reform, and discuss it with all the generals."

Liu Yi coughed lightly, and continued to introduce: "According to the instructions of the lord, from today onwards, our army will withdraw the guards, and the original guards will be converted into county soldiers. The county is the unit, and each county depends on the population, territory, and whether it is close to the border. Under the circumstances, there are 4-10 legions under its jurisdiction, and its main functions are to maintain public order, eliminate bandits, and resist invading beasts. In the event of a large-scale war, it will cooperate with the main force to go out to assist in combat, and take care of food, grass, and heavy transportation.”

"According to my lord's suggestion, the selection criteria for the county soldiers is five-rank soldiers. The county has a county lieutenant, who is responsible for the training of the county soldiers at ordinary times, provides supplementary soldiers for the main force, and is automatically transferred to a general of the corresponding level in wartime, and the commander of the county soldiers assists. Combat. According to the number of soldiers in the county, each county lieutenant has 4-10 school lieutenants, the school lieutenant is selected from the top generals, and the county lieutenant is selected from the title generals."

"The county soldiers are not allowed to cross the border to other counties without the military order of the general's mansion. Those who violate the order will be severely punished."

In fact, regarding the setting of the county soldiers, Shang Ji just picked up the local military system of the Han Dynasty from the trash basket and continued to use it, without even changing the name.

However, different from the military system of the Han Dynasty, the military system established by Shang Ji vigorously moved forward in the direction of streamlining troops and simplifying administration. Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were one or two million soldiers in a county, but very few were able to fight. Theoretically, the county soldiers are a Tier 4 army, but in reality they don’t even have a Tier 3 army on average, and there are even a lot of Tier 2 scum just making up for it.

The number of county soldiers formulated by Shang Ji was greatly reduced compared with that of the Han Dynasty, with a maximum of only 500,000 people, but the quality requirements have doubled several times.

According to Shang Ji's standards, one county soldier of the Shang Ji Army could easily kill the Han Dynasty soldiers in one state before the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Of course, Shang Ji did not forget how degenerate the county soldiers of the Han Dynasty were. Having fully learned the lessons of the Han Dynasty, Shang Ji specially set up a supervisory agency for the county soldiers.

I only heard Liu Yi continue to say: "The General's Mansion has an inspection department, which has eight districts under its jurisdiction. Each district has an inspection general, an inspection official, six inspection captains, and a number of inspection wrestlers, who are responsible for the corresponding areas. The assessment and supervision of the inner county soldiers."

"County soldiers have slack training, violations of laws and disciplines, etc. The inspecting general reports to the inspection department, and the inspection department reports to the general's mansion, and the general's mansion punishes the corresponding county lieutenant. The inspecting general has cover-up and dereliction of duty. Once the general's mansion finds out, All beheaded for public display!"

"Soldiers from various counties will be transferred to a school every year to come to Xiangping to participate in the military exercise.

"Among the county soldiers, those who have excellent training and have advanced to the sixth level of combat power can apply for entry into the war army. After passing the assessment, they will serve as a war army reserve and their salary and treatment will be increased by 30%. Once the war army has a shortage or needs to be expanded, the war army reserve will be transferred The personnel added that the captains of the counties had no choice but to stop them for any reason."
