Chapter 322 A Brand New New Army

"The new army will be organized as the First Division of the Ming Empire Army! What is the Army? That is, the army that fights on land is called the Army. The numbering of the First Division is my expectation for you. I hope that you will be invincible in the army of the world. First! The division is the division of a hundred battles, and it is an organizational unit with subordinate teams, banners, bureaus, divisions, departments, and battalions.”

"The smallest team is 12 people, under the jurisdiction of the captain, from the ninth rank; the third team is a banner, 3 people, under the jurisdiction of the banner general, and the ninth rank; the third banner is a bureau, 37 people, under the jurisdiction of the hundred generals, and the eighth rank; 3 The bureau is the first division, 112 people, the general jurisdiction, the seventh rank; the second division is the first division, 3 people, the thousand general jurisdiction, the sixth rank; the third division is the first battalion, 449 people, the battalion captain is under the jurisdiction, the fifth rank; There are 2 people in one division, the division will be in charge, and it is the fourth rank."

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen paused, and the new military system had to be digested by them, and then continued: "The new military system is the establishment of Marshal Qi when he was training the new army in Ji Town to deal with the enemies in the north of the Ming Dynasty. It's just a change. I hope you don't fall for Marshal Qi's invincible power back then, and don't let me down!"

In fact, the so-called minor changes are based on Qi Jiguang's original establishment, adding the division unit.However, there is also a military unit called a division at this time, but it is only similar to a battalion.Emperor Chongzhen elevated it by one level and became a unit above the battalion.

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was the God of War, and his stories were all recited in the army.Naturally, his military system in Jizhen was basically familiar to these frontier elites.Therefore, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, they basically understood it.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen swept his eyes across the audience, and continued to say loudly: "In addition, the lieutenant general of the new army will always supervise the army. However, the duties of supervising the army are very different from those in the past..."

As soon as he said these words, those soldiers were fine, but Shen Yongmao, the minister of the Ministry of War standing behind him, was taken aback.Isn't supervising the army just those responsibilities? Why is there a big difference? Isn't it impossible to supervise those warriors?
He hadn't figured it out, and didn't know whether he wanted to persuade him, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen explain again: "The new army will be equipped with supervisors from the first level of the bureau. Department supervisors, battalion supervisors, and division supervisors. The new supervisory army has jurisdiction over matters other than the command of the new army. For example, personnel changes, confirmation of military achievements, generals and supervisors of the same level must be approved... ..."

Seeing that many people were puzzled, Emperor Chongzhen explained: "In other words, the army is jointly managed by the generals and the new-style supervising army. The generals are in charge of fighting, and the new-style supervising military is in charge of daily life. I will teach you how to read and write..."

Even if the emperor was on the commanding platform, as soon as this example was said, the soldiers of the new army could no longer calm down, and even those soldiers farther away couldn't help but speak out.

"Reading and literacy, then what bureau supervisor wants to teach us to read and write?"

"You heard me right, but why do we need to read and write?"

"You don't care, if you can really teach us to read and write! I don't even know my own name!"

"..."

Jin Yiwei's escort, Qianhu, immediately shouted when he saw the murmurs of discussion.The Jinyiwei captains under him heard this, and strode back to inspect.

When the soldiers of the new army heard this, they immediately remembered that the emperor was still on the general platform. This was a serious occasion, and being rude to the emperor was a serious crime. They immediately shut up and returned to silence.However, it was obvious that many of them were in high spirits, staring at the emperor, expecting to hear some more relevant news.

Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, was behind the emperor, but he shook his head slightly when he heard it, and taught these big soldiers to read and write, is this useful?Is it necessary?Can you teach well?
The corners of Rong Mangui's mouth twitched slightly, and he was able to read and write. This was the worst headache!
Regardless of what others think, Emperor Chongzhen still announced loudly: "The new army assesses and selects officers, and this level of literacy will also be an assessment point. You just treat those unfamiliar words as Jianlu, your greatest enemy, and you must have one." Destroy them one by one and win the battle!"

For some reason, Cao Bianjiao listened, and suddenly remembered what he heard in the restaurant that day. This new style of supervising soldiers to teach everyone to read and write is the same as what the household department trains, isn't it?Wouldn't it really be necessary to encounter such a situation?

Thinking of this, he remembered that he still wanted to expose the deception.But it's up to now, let's take a look!The emperor said so, it should not be a lie!
"You should think, is it that I am asking too much of you? The army, as long as you can fight, what do you want to read and write?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the reaction below, and he probably understood what some people were thinking, so he asked loudly road.

However, such a question was asked by the emperor, and no one dared to answer it!

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew this too, so he paused for a moment before replying self-consciously: "Because you are the first division of the Ming Army, I naturally have high demands on you! You have to lead new soldiers and become a leader. If you are illiterate, how can you lead soldiers to fight? Don’t tell me that you just want to be a soldier, not a general, or even a marquis and a general!”

When Man Gui heard this, his face immediately turned red.Fortunately, he has a beard, which can cover a large part of his face, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to stand on stage like that!

He didn't deny the emperor's statement in his heart, he was illiterate, not to mention anything else, it would be more troublesome just to identify who the enemy is leading the army.After all, it is indeed better to be able to read and write!

However, the soldiers of the new army under Dianjiang's stage were excited by Emperor Chongzhen's last words.Of course they want to be generals, the question is, can they?At least in the past, they couldn't even imagine it!
Of course, there are really some people in the new army who have always wanted to serve as soldiers for a living.When these people heard the emperor's words at this time, their eyes lit up and opened wide, and they shouted in their hearts: Yes, this is in the new army, of course they want to be generals!
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he nodded to Gao Shiyue, the eunuch who was serving on the side.Therefore, Gao Shiyue immediately ordered a few words to his subordinates, and then the drums of "dong dong dong" sounded.The sound of the drum was gentle, but powerful and rhythmic, and the sound spread far away.

Cao Bianjiao blinked, not knowing what was going on, looked at the emperor's eyes, then turned his head to look in the direction where Yu Jia stayed.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after looking at it, the jaw almost fell to the ground.

Not only him, but other officers and soldiers of the new army, as well as Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, and others on the stage, looked over there, and they were all surprised.

Shen Yongmao thought even more, the emperor has been making troubles in the palace these days, so it's not possible that these things came out of it?
