Otherworldly Castle Era

　　 At the beginning of the Textile Fair in Guihua City, in the study room of the monarch's mansion in Xia Kingdom.

　　 "Your Majesty, this is the plan for the expansion of the army after repeated discussions between the minister and the military division." Li Jing presented Yang Song with a booklet written by Li Jing and signed by Liu Ji.

　　 "You two will tell Gu about the latest army expansion plan." Yang Song opened the folder and glanced at it. Seeing that there was a lot of content inside, he closed the folder and asked the two of them to explain it to him.

　　 "Yes, Lord." The two clasped their fists to lead the way.

　　 The two stood up under Yang Song's raising of his hand. Li Jing took the lead and said: "Enlighten you! This time the army expansion plan, the minister decided to expand the establishment."

　　 Yang Song asked curiously: "Expand the organization? How to expand the organization?"

"Return to the Lord. The current military establishment is that each brigade has three battalions, and each battalion has three battalions, and further down, each level also has three lower-level establishments, which is called the'three-three system'." Li Jing said roughly. Explain the existing establishment.

　　 Liu Ji continued with Li Jing's words: "After discussing with General Li, the minister thought that the existing establishment was too small and was not conducive to the performance of an army commander. Just like the last war, General Di Qing can command two brigades to fight."

　　 Yang Song thought of the last battle report, and felt that what they said was right. In the last war, with the assistance of Lu Su, Zhang Wei, Yu Shu and others, Di Qing easily commanded two brigades plus tens of thousands of militias.

Seeing Yang Song, Li Jing nodded and continued: "So after discussing with Liu Junshi, the minister decided to implement the'five-five system'. Each brigade has five battalions, each battalion has five brigades, and each brigade. There are five squadrons under its jurisdiction, and each squadron has five squadrons under its jurisdiction."

　　 Liu Ji added: “In this new ‘five-five establishment’, after repeated consideration by the ministers and others, it was decided to cancel the first-level establishment of the ‘squadron’ between the ‘brigade’ and the ‘battalion’.”

"If you add the'pawn formation' as an intermediate organization, based on a squad of twelve people, at the level of the **** formation, there will be 1,500 people, and at the battalion level, there will be more than 7,000 people. It's even more than 40,000 people." Liu Ji explained: "A brigade of 40,000 people is a bit too much."

"Well, Bowen, Pharmacist, your considerations are even reasonable. There are now three brigades in this country." Yang Song understood it well, thought about it carefully, and then said, "This army expansion is not so much an expansion. Not to mention the reform of the army’s establishment."

If you add the “Bing Array” as an intermediate organization, one brigade will have more than 40,000 people. If you count the brigades of the city guards and conscripts, the four brigades will not cost more than 160,000 people. This is for those with less than three million people. In Xia, the military-civilian ratio is close to one to twenty, and this high ratio is not conducive to the development of Xia.

　　 "The king is wise!" Liu Ji immediately complimented, and then said: "Because the country has insufficient commanders, if the existing establishment is used to expand and expand, the new army will not be commanded."

"What Liu Junshi said is very true." Li Jing said: "The ministers also thought about promoting outstanding talents in the army, but after detailed investigation by the ministers, such as Qi Jun, Yan Ren, Liu Yan and other battalion commanders took the position of battalion commander. It's the limit."

In addition to the reasons mentioned by Li Jing and Liu Ji, there is actually another reason, that is, the number of Xia’s troops is too small. Counting the city guards and conscripts, there are only four brigade-level troops. If each brigade There are too many people, which is not conducive to Yang Song, the monarch's control of the army.

Liu Ji smiled slightly at Li Jing, and then said: "Therefore, the ministers and others have set a new organization plan. The number of each brigade is set at 7,800, and the total number of the four brigades is 31,200. According to this system, the Imperial Guard and Jinyiwei will be expanded, and the total number of the entire army will reach 34,200."

　　 Yang Song thought about this number, which is very suitable for the current Xia country. This is equivalent to doubling the original number. With this strength, the pressure on the military outside the pass is much smaller.

　　 "What is the specific organization of Na Di Qing's infantry brigade and Huo Qubing's cavalry brigade?" Yang Song was very concerned about these two main brigades.

"Going back to the king, after the reorganization of the infantry brigade, the minister called it the'conventional brigade', which means the military brigade of the ordinary system." Li Jing explained the new army name, and then replied: "The conventional brigade is an independent combat unit of the army. , There are major generals, staff officers, five battalions under its jurisdiction, and a 300-person brigade with a total of 7,800 people."

"The brigade is a brigade with five squadrons. They are a field artillery squadron, a siege artillery squadron, two personal squadrons, and a service squadron." Li Jing explained the organization of the brigade in detail. : "In the service squadron are personnel such as war drums, horns, gongs, flags, and communications."

"One of the two personal squadrons is a cavalry squadron, and the other is an infantry squadron." After Yang Song nodded and understood the organization of the brigade, Li Jing continued: "The five battalions are two regular battalions, one remote attack battalion, A cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion."

"A conventional brigade has a total of 60 field artillery and 30 siege artillery." After Li Jing explained the brigade-level organization, Liu Ji explained in detail: "Compared with the infantry brigade, the number of artillery has been reduced. The organization was also changed in consideration of the high cost of artillery and the apparently excessively high artillery configuration of the original infantry brigade. Such an organization is more in line with the original intention of large-scale formation."

Regarding Liu Ji’s words, Yang Song agrees from the bottom of his heart. The current conventional infantry brigade is systematically rewarded. Although it has the title of “conventional”, this “conventional” is obviously something Xia Guo cannot afford. So Yang Song has always used this so-called "conventional infantry brigade" as an elite army.

　　 "The regular battalion consists of three close combat brigades, one long attack brigade, and one light cavalry brigade."

　　 "The long-range attack battalion consists of three long-range attack groups, one close combat group, and one light cavalry group."

　　 "The cavalry battalion consists of three light cavalry brigades and two heavy cavalry brigades."

　　 "The artillery battalion consists of a field artillery group, a siege artillery group, a melee group, a long-range attack group, and a light cavalry group."

　　 "The battalion level is the basic combat unit of the army. There are lieutenants, Sima, and lieutenants directly under one of the brigade, a total of 1,500 people. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Li Jing's explanation of the battalion-level organization is very detailed and detailed. After talking about the battalion-level organization, he thought about it: "For the establishment of the Imperial Guard and Jinyiwei directly under the emperor, the minister suggested that it should also be expanded to 1,500. ."

　　 Hearing Li Jing's suggestion, Yang Song shook his head and said, "Jin Yiwei is only acting as a military policeman while also guarding the gu. It is necessary to expand by 1,500 people."

　　Because Yang Song seldom goes out, even if he goes out, he is only near the surrounding area. It doesn't take many people to protect his safety, and it doesn't take many people to serve as a military police, so Yang Song decided to expand by a few hundred people.

　　 "What do you mean by Jun Shang?" Liu Ji has a clear understanding of Yang Song's thoughts, but he still has to confirm.

"Yes, that's what you think." Yang Song nodded to Liu Ji and said straightforwardly: "The Imperial Guard is not only used to defend Apocalypse City, but also as a strategic reserve team. It's not enough if the number is small. "

"The monarch is even admired!" Li Jing understood what Yang Song meant. When he and Liu Ji formulated this plan, they considered the overall situation, such as the cost of military expansion, the difficulty of expansion, and the proportion of population. , But for a while, another duty of the Janissaries was forgotten.

　　 Of course, this has something to do with the nature of the Imperial Guard. This army is directly under the emperor Yang Song, and he can't get too involved.
