Never thought I would become the emperor

Chapter 97 Military Reform
"Master Yu is joking, how could I do such a thing? Put down the knives."

Lu Bing walked out with a smile, followed by his deputy Han Cong, who walked down the steps slowly, and waved his hands while talking, like a person who put down the knife.

Jin Yiwei immediately put down the knife, but the coldness in his eyes did not diminish.

Yu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered his son, his chest heaved violently, and said coldly: "You are Lu Bing, right? I think you are under Lu Bu's account, so I won't make things difficult for you. Let the son out, and we will settle the matter, and I will suffer from this matter."

When Lu Bing heard this, he laughed and said, "Dr. Yu is not joking, is he? Your son killed someone, and you want to settle with me?"

"What do you want?"

Knowing that he was wrong, Yu Jian gradually let go of that arrogant attitude.

"According to the law of the Han Dynasty, if you rob people's daughters by force and commit murder in the street, you should be beheaded!"

Lu Bing said every word, especially when the last two words fell, Yu Jian's heart was shocked, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the butler on the other side helped him in time.

The housekeeper pointed at Lu Bing, gritted his teeth angrily, and said, "It's an honor for the woman to be seen by our son. Besides, what's the big deal about killing someone? It's just an ordinary person who died, just for this." Our son pays for his life, I bah!"

Speaking of the latter, the butler spit angrily.

Lu Bing said coldly: "The Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Why, is your son more noble than the Son of Heaven?"

The butler was speechless for a moment, and swallowed the words that reached his throat.

Holding on to his crutches, Yu Jian stood up with difficulty, looked at Lu Bing like a hungry tiger, and said, "I'll see how long you can be so arrogant, hum, let's go!"

After all, Yu Jian walked into Ren's luxurious carriage with unwilling eyes.

Groups of carriages moved slowly and slowly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Looking at the convoy going away, Han Cong stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid they won't stop here."

"Ah."

Lu Bing looked at the carriage disappearing in the night, and nodded lightly.

Lu Bing took control of Guo Ziyi's military power in just one day, and also arrested Yu Xinyuan, a well-known romantic son in Luoyang City, which caused huge waves all at once.

But Lu Bu knew nothing about all this. At this moment, he was frowning at home, thinking hard, and at the same time, there was the largest piece of paper in front of him, which was filled with dense words.

At this time, there were a total of 5000 troops in Luoyang City, plus the 4 troops stationed in Sili. At this time, Lu Bu could control 45000 armed troops, which is not a small number for today.

But Lu Bu was a time traveler after all, and he was not familiar with various positions in the army, not to mention the various general titles, Lu Bu couldn't count them all.

In order to change this situation and to control the army more effectively, Lu Bu decided to carry out a large-scale military reform.

Having an idea, Lu Bu immediately brought a brush and ink, and wrote a few large characters on the paper in front of him.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system. In order to consolidate and strengthen the centralization of power, the Han Dynasty established a nationally unified army and put it under the strict control of the emperor.Moreover, the Fubing system is implemented, that is, the system of all the people serving as soldiers. The common people work in agriculture at ordinary times, and go to the battlefield to fight when there is a battle. This leads to uneven quality of the army and greatly weakens its combat effectiveness.

Such a system will seriously hinder the development of agriculture and increase the burden on farmers.Spiritually speaking, when the country is weak and the population is small, the interests of the people and the country are easily aligned.But as the country expands and its population explodes, long-term military service invites resentment.

In order to abolish this phenomenon, Lu Bu simply abolished this system directly, and changed it to the volunteer army system. He joined the army at a legal age, and then he could choose to continue to serve in the army at a certain age or take the imperial court's salary. wages to return home.

The salary here must be higher than the general income of farmers, and enjoy certain privileges after retirement, and the work will be arranged by the court, and a certain amount of subsidies will be received every year.

Regarding the age of joining the army, Lu Bu decided to follow the system of the Han Dynasty. He must join the army at the age of 23, and he can freely choose to retire or stay in the army at the age of 30. In case of war, it can be delayed for five years, but the maximum The period cannot exceed 15 years.

And Lu Bu also decided to start from the position of general.The ranks of generals in the Han Dynasty were divided into six ranks and there were nearly a hundred kinds of titles. Generals cannot be counted. This will only make the army chaotic and difficult to control, making the overall efficiency of the army low.

Therefore, Lu Bu decided to change all these complicated positions into positions he was familiar with, and abolished the original system to establish generals, school officers, lieutenant officers, and non-commissioned officers.

General officers can be subdivided into generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals, field officers are divided into senior colonels, colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors, and lieutenants can be divided into familiar captains, lieutenants, and second lieutenants.

Non-commissioned officers are divided into corporals and privates according to the number of years of service.Private corporals serve two years and privates serve one year.

Lu Bu also changed the size of the army from school lieutenants and county lieutenants to platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, and divisions.In addition, the Logistics Department and the Transportation Department were added, mainly responsible for the supply and transportation of the army.

At the same time, all the original troops were dispersed, and three divisions were set up, each with 15000 people.These three divisions are Xiliang Division, Bingzhou Division, and Guan Ning Division.Each division has six regiments, including a cavalry regiment, with a number of about 1000 people.Plus two archer regiments, the number is around 2000.The rest are all infantry regiments, numbering 12000 men.

The last stroke of the brush came down, and Lu Bu couldn't help feeling relieved and excited when he looked at the densely packed characters.

From today, the reform of the military will begin.

He immediately asked someone to bring a brand new piece of paper and appointed Zhang Liao as the commander of the Bingzhou Division with the military rank of senior colonel.Guo Ziyi is the commander of Guan Ning Division, and his military rank is also master.Although Hua Xiong was a demoted general, he had a high prestige in the Xiliang Army, so he naturally became the commander of the Xiliang Division. His military rank was one level lower than Zhang Liao, Guo Ziyi and others, and was a colonel.

Gao Shun was appointed as the Minister of Logistics and Minister of Transportation, responsible for training recruits and the distribution and transportation of weapons and equipment.

Lu Bu looked at this reform with a satisfied face. He knew that a strong army must have a perfect system, so let the Bingzhou Army become stronger in his hands!
