Chapter 1070

Liu Yi talked for two quarters of an hour, all about the various policies and regulations of the county soldiers.

Shang Ji's positioning of the county soldiers is very clear-the auxiliary force on the battlefield, the reserve soldiers of the main army, and the backbone of maintaining local stability.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Shang Ji will not send county soldiers to confront the enemy head-on on the battlefield.

Still the same sentence, soldiers are more expensive than elites!

Maybe the fifth-tier army could still be called an elite in the eyes of other princes, but after experiencing the battle of Kuicheng and witnessing the fierce confrontation between the eighth-tier and ninth-tier armies, Shang Ji became more and more despised of these low-level troops.

If the objective conditions did not allow it, Shang Ji wanted to directly raise the standard of the Zhanjun to the seventh rank.

The 10,000th-rank Black Armored Xuanqi is invincible in the plains. Without the restraint of troops of the same rank, no matter how many troops of the fifth rank come, they are not afraid of it. Hundreds of thousands of such troops can be dispersed with a single charge.

With the same resources, whether to raise a 1,000-tier 9 army or a 1,000,000 tier-5 army, if he could choose freely, Shang Ji would choose the former without hesitation.

"With regard to Zhanjun, the tentative reform plan is as follows:

First of all, change the division method based on the division of arms. The scale of the war army has been further reduced, tentatively reduced to 6 million, and the existing redundant part is attached to the scope of the war army in the form of a supplementary battalion, and will not be abolished for the time being.

All the existing ninth-tier and eighth-tier troops, except for the personal guards of the generals, are all used in a centralized manner, and then the entire army is screened for outstanding soldiers. With the existing eighth-tier and ninth-tier troops as the core, form the imperial guard directly under the lord , the tentative number is 200,000. "

There was a little commotion among the people when they heard the words, which meant that the major generals would lose command of their own direct troops, and the most elite part would also be contributed and handed over to Shang Ji to command in person.

That is to say, Shang Ji's army was established by Shang Ji, and his prestige in the army is unmatched. Otherwise, this kind of blatant act of cutting flesh would cause more than just minor commotions.

Liu Yi ignored the crowd's commotion and continued: "The Imperial Guard has set up four incisor generals to assist the lord in managing the Imperial Guard. The incisors will be held by all generals above the prefecture level (including) in the entire army in turn, each with a term of one year. .”

"Except for the Guards, all the troops of the whole army are organized into 20 legions of varying numbers according to different combat tasks. Each legion has between 200,000 and 300,000 people, and the legion includes bows, infantry , cavalry, crossbow, law (Taoist, magician, priest, etc.) and other arms, each legion must have the ability to fight independently.

Legion will be the largest unit of tactics,

At the same time, it is also the smallest unit of the battle. For certain less important battle targets, a battle legion will be the core, supplemented by several county soldiers to go out to crusade. Elite army. "

"In order to meet the increasingly fierce battle needs, my lord proposes that all generals above the commander level in the combat legion (excluding the 200,000 imperial guards) can establish divisions according to the number of troops they command.

Bochang can have two trilogy, 10 quchang, 40 Sima, 200 battalion Sima, 1000 captain. thousand.

The trilogy is recruited independently by each general. The general's office provides military salaries according to the standard three times the average level of the soldiers of the combat legion. The general's office does not interfere with the promotion, demote, etc. within the trilogy. New recruitment or promotion of the trilogy only requires the general himself Just report the list to the General's Mansion.

Unless it is out of the trilogy sequence, the trilogy establishes military exploits and will be rewarded by its generals, and the general's mansion will no longer be responsible. The spoils seized by the trilogy will be handed over to the general's mansion uniformly, and shall not be detained, and those who violate the order will be severely punished. If the trilogy intends to separate from the general it belongs to, the general must not stop it without justifiable reasons.

The Ministry of Justice violated the law and was punished uniformly by the Department of Military Justice. The generals affiliated to the Ministry of Civil Affairs were not allowed to interfere, and according to the severity of the crime committed, the generals of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were punished accordingly. "

After hearing Liu Yi's words, everyone was in an uproar, which was several times stronger than Shang Ji's reaction to setting up the Imperial Guard just now.

Part 1, this is a good way to say it, but it's not a good way to say it, it's a private soldier!

No one thought that Shang Ji would take the initiative to propose the establishment of the trilogy system, let alone that the general government would provide money and food to establish the trilogy.

Those who didn't know thought Shang Ji was crazy!

Of course Shang Ji is not crazy, he is not only not crazy, but also very sober.

The establishment of the trilogy system was a deliberate decision by Shang Ji.

When they heard about the establishment of a trilogy, many people's first reaction was warlordization, obedience to the tune but not propaganda, and rebellion in feudal towns, etc., which were not very friendly words.

However, behind these is the powerful fighting power of the trilogy!

Take the end of the Tang Dynasty as an example. After the separatism of the feudal towns, the fighting power of the central government of the Tang Dynasty was weak, but the overall fighting power of the entire Tang Empire soared. In sharp contrast.

The feudal town is not a mistake, what is wrong is the internal friction between the feudal towns.

If you continue to expand outward with the combat power shown by the feudal town, the entire Eurasian continent will not be enough.

Shang Ji's establishment of trilogy is also an attempt, because tributaries are private soldiers in disguise. In order to maximize the combat effectiveness of these armies, the generals to which tributaries belong will definitely do everything possible to fully mobilize their subjective initiative and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army.

The enhanced combat effectiveness will eventually be intuitively reflected in the overall combat effectiveness of the Shangji Army.

In addition, Shang Ji established the trilogy system to further protect the safety of the generals themselves. Not everyone is Zhao Yun, who has the combat power to stand alone among thousands of troops. Compared with the pro-guard army, the trilogy is more loyal to the general himself, and has stronger combat effectiveness, which can guarantee the safety of the general on the battlefield to the greatest extent.

The trilogy is still a sharp knife for attacking the fortifications. When the war is at a critical moment, the general will lead the trilogy to charge in person, and there is a high probability that the final result will be achieved.

As for whether there will be a situation where the tail can't be shaken off and the generals support themselves, Shang Ji can be sure that as long as he is alive, this situation will never happen.

With Shang Ji's current power, even if he ordered his general to commit suicide, he would have to be killed.

Besides, in a sense, Shang Ji's imperial guards are also a kind of trilogy, but the scale is too large and the level is too high.

As for Shang Ji’s death—after my death, I don’t care about the flood. The laws of history tell us that there is no eternal dynasty, but those illusory monarchs who do not have real power in the hands of the monarchs live more securely.

In fact, Shang Ji still had a bold plan in mind, and the development of the trilogy system was also a part of this plan, but this plan was too bold, and Shang Ji never mentioned it to outsiders.

He hopes that one day, the feudal system will be restored! _
