Chongzhen Chat Group

"The new army will be organized into the First Division of the Ming Empire Army! What is the Army? The army that fights on land is called the Army. Numbering the First Division is my expectation for you. I hope you will be invincible among the armies of the world. This is for First! A division is a division capable of hundreds of battles. It is an organized unit with subordinate teams, flags, bureaus, divisions, departments, and battalions."

"The smallest team has 12 people, and is under the jurisdiction of the captain, from the ninth rank; the third team has one banner, 37 people, and the general jurisdiction of the flag, and the ninth rank; the third flag has one bureau, 112 people, and the hundred general jurisdiction, and the eighth rank; 3 The bureau is divided into one department, with 449 people, and the commander is in charge of the seventh rank; the second department is one department, with 899 people, and the general is under the jurisdiction of the sixth rank; the third department is one battalion, with 2599 people, and the battalion captain is under the jurisdiction of the fifth rank; the second battalion is It is a division with 5,200 men, and the division will be under the jurisdiction of the fourth rank."

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen paused. The new military system must be digested by them, and then continued: "The new army's military system was established by Marshal Qi when he was training the new army in Jizhen to deal with the enemies in the north of the Ming Dynasty. It was slightly modified. It’s just a change. I hope you won’t lose the power of Marshal Qi who was victorious in every battle back then, and don’t let me down!”

In fact, the so-called slight modification is to add the division unit on the basis of Qi Jiguang's original organization. However, there was also a division as a military unit at this time, but it was similar to a battalion. Emperor Chongzhen raised it 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 Ji Town was basically familiar to these elite border troops. Therefore, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, they basically understood it.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen glanced across the entire audience and continued to speak loudly: "In addition, the new army lieutenant general has a permanent supervisor. However, the responsibilities of the supervisor are very different from the past..."

As soon as he said these words, the soldiers were fine, but Shen Yongmao, the Minister of War standing behind him, was startled. Isn't that what supervising the army has to do? Why should it be so different? Isn't it possible to not supervise those warriors?

Before he could figure it out and didn't know whether to dissuade him, he heard Emperor Chongzhen explain again: "The new army will be equipped with supervisors at the bureau level, called bureau supervisors, and then higher up, they will be division supervisors, supervisors, and supervisors. Department supervisors, battalion supervisors and division supervisors. The new supervisors have jurisdiction over matters other than combat command in the new army. For example, personnel changes, confirmation of military exploits, must be recognized by generals and supervisors of the same level... …”

Seeing that many people were confused, Emperor Chongzhen explained: "In other words, the army is jointly managed by generals and new-style supervisors. The generals are in charge of wars, and the new-style supervisors are in charge of daily life. For example, after you are training, the bureau supervisors I will teach you how to read and write..."

Even if the emperor was on the general stage, as soon as this example was uttered, the new soldiers below could no longer remain calm, and even those soldiers further away couldn't help but speak out.

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

"You heard that right, but why do we need to learn and read?"

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

"..."

When the thousands of households with the Jin Yiwei saw the whispers below, they immediately shouted loudly. When his guards in golden robes heard this, they strode back to inspect.

When the soldiers of the new army heard this, they immediately remembered that the emperor was still on the general stage. This was a serious occasion, and being disrespectful in front of 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, looking forward to hearing some more relevant news.

Shen Yongmao, the Minister of War, who was standing behind the emperor, shook his head slightly and asked, "Is it useful to teach these big soldiers how to read and write?" Is it necessary? Can you teach it well?

Rong Mangui, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Camp, twitched his mouth slightly, and he was struggling to read and write. This was the biggest headache!

No matter what others thought, Emperor Chongzhen still announced loudly: "When the new army assesses and selects officers, literacy will also be an assessment point. You should treat those unfamiliar characters as Jianlu, your biggest enemy, and you must be a Destroy them individually and win the war!"

For some reason, as Cao Bianjiao listened, he suddenly remembered what he heard in the restaurant that day. This new supervisory army teaches everyone how to read and write. Is it the same as the Ministry of Household training? Shouldn't this really happen?

Thinking like this, he remembered that he still wanted to expose this scam at that time. But now, let’s take a look! The emperor said so, so he shouldn't be lying!

"You should think that I am asking too much of you. As for the army, as long as you can fight, it is enough. What kind of reading and literacy are required?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the reactions below, and 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, so he paused for a moment before replying to himself: "Because you are the first division of the Ming Army, my requirements for you are naturally high! When you have accomplished your feats in the future, I will You need to lead new soldiers and become a leader. How can you lead an army to fight if you are illiterate? Don't tell me that you just want to be a soldier and don't want to be a general, or even become a marquis!"

When Mangui heard this, his face immediately turned red. Fortunately, he has a beard that covers a large part of his face, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he just stood on the stage like that!

He did not deny the emperor's statement in his heart. He was illiterate. If nothing else, it would be more troublesome just to identify who is leading the enemy. After all, it is indeed better to be literate!

However, the soldiers of the New Army under the stage were made excited by Emperor Chongzhen's last words. Of course they want to be generals, but the question is, can they? At least in the past, they couldn't even imagine it!

Of course, there are some people in the new army who have always wanted to be soldiers and just make a living. When these people heard the emperor's words, their eyes lit up and opened wide, and they shouted in their hearts: Yes, they are 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 waiting beside him. So Gao Shiyue immediately gave a few instructions to his men, and then the drums started to sound "dong dong dong". The sound of the drum was gentle, powerful and rhythmic, and the sound spread far away.

Cao Bianjiao blinked, not knowing what was going on. He looked at the emperor's eyes and then turned to look in the direction where Yu Jia was staying. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, at first glance, your jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Not only him, but also other New Army officers and soldiers, as well as Shen Yongmao and others on the general stage, looked over there and everyone was surprised.

Shen Yongmao even thought that the emperor has been tinkering in the palace these days. Could this be the result of tinkering?
