I’m The King

"Hundred-legged insects, die but not stiff." A clear voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone looked back and saw where Shang Shu Ye Zhong of the Ministry of War was standing. He was smiling and looking at everyone. With a sigh, the generals in the room were all standing. He got up and delivered a military salute to Ye Zhong in a uniform manner. Ye Zhong returned a salute to everyone, strode into the room, and stood above the top position. "What's more, Chu State was in the battle of Linyi last year. , Was beaten by us, but also woke them up. In the words of the king, this male lion that was asleep and still suffering from pain has now been woken up by us, and he is replenishing his energy. Rui, the future will inevitably become our archenemy. Don’t deny it, our big man’s ambition is to dominate the world, so a full confrontation with Chu is inevitable. Therefore, this defeat of the New First Army may not necessarily be the case. It's a bad thing. At least, he woke us up and made us realize that the heroes in the world are not the only one of us."

Looking at all the generals with solemn expressions, Ye Zhong pressed his hands down, "Everyone, please sit down. Originally, the king was going to come here to discuss with everyone, but because the Director of the Supervision Institute just returned from Qin State, So Wang Shang is now listening to Dean Cao’s report, and he cannot come here today. He entrusted me to apologize to everyone and said that tonight, he will host a banquet in the palace to entertain you all.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed. He Lanxiong slapped his mouth and said, "That's good, so we can drink Wu's superb wine again tonight. Everyone should stop drinking at noon today. I’ve got enough, and I’ll go shopping in the evening. Wu’s superb wine is not available on the market."

The room was applauded.

"Wine is for everyone to drink." Ye Zhong also laughed. "It's rare that all of us have gathered together today. I'm afraid it will be the first time to make a breakthrough. The opportunity is rare. Naturally, it is necessary to have a good drink. Normally in the army, you all have to take responsibility by example, I am afraid it is difficult to let go of drinking!"

"Ye Shangshu, this time the main generals of the king general's various army groups are recalled to Jicheng, what is it for? To be honest, I am worried now." Meng Chong, who was sitting second in Ye Zhong's left hand, smiled: "If you don't understand, you can't drink this wine tonight!"

"Yeah, Ye Shangshu, although the new army was defeated, for our Han army, it only hurts the skin, and it doesn't hurt at all, but the king's current behavior seems to be like a big enemy, I I thought that everyone else knew what it was for, and now it seems that everyone is the same as me, knowing nothing!" Bai Yucheng stroked his beard, puzzled.

"Well, I originally wanted to whet everyone's appetite, but since everyone is so impatient, let me first talk about the reason why the king called everyone to Jicheng this time." Ye nodded emphatically.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Ye Zhong together.

"It has been two years since my great Han formally established the country, but our army is still following the pattern of the past. The last reorganization of the army should be the period of the East Army five years ago. During that time, the general king conquered the East. The army was reorganized into four group armies to deal with the actual situation at the time. Later, with the form of the women's exhibition, the Youth Guards, the New Army and the Qilu Army were established one after another. Today, our Han regular field army has reached 350,000. There are as many as 200,000 local guards, so the king decided to reorganize the army again."

Ye Zhong paused and looked at the people gathered to meet the gods. "There are several key points in the reorganization of the army. First, all the troops in the country will be reorganized. Second, the troops will be streamlined and some unnecessary personnel will be removed from the army. , That is, to reduce non-combatants. Third, unified designation. Like us now, each group army is arranged according to the serial number of one, two, three, and four. This will bring a lot of problems and it will not be convenient for large-scale operations in the future. Under the command of the time, this situation must be changed. Therefore, the original group army designation will be cancelled."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a buzzing sound of discussion in the conference room. If the new army was opened and the other six corps were cancelled, it was all at once to the commander of the six fronts. For everyone here, it is not a trivial matter.

"The king's decision is to establish four military regions. The first military region is mainly aimed at the Qin State, the second military region is aimed at the Chu State, the third military region is mainly in Liaodong, the direction of Hetao, and the fourth military region is the Weiwu Military District. This military region is composed of commanders, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff to form a core leadership team. I can give you some news here. The positions of the major military regions have not been determined. Therefore, if you have the will, you can still fight for it. Of course, what position do you want to hold, what you can do when you are in place, and what plans you have, the king needs to see your plan."

The meeting room exploded again, and the six group armies were reduced to four, which means that the two original group army commanders will lose the opportunity to stand alone. This is not a trivial matter, the commanders here. Several independent cavalry divisions such as He Gu Li realized that it was nothing to do with them, but they looked calm, but He Lanxiong, Ye Zhen, Xu Yuan, Meng Chong, Shangguanhong, and Bai Yucheng are all six people. Look at me, I see. Look at you, there is a little embarrassment between the expressions.

What the king decides is the final decision. No one in this room dared to question this decision, but whoever goes up and down is worth studying. Who can sit in this position, who is not the dragon among the people, who Who will be really convinced?

"I have a question!" He Lanxiong said suddenly.

Ye Zhong smiled and said authentically: "Commander Helan, please say."

"To establish the third military region in Liaodong, is it necessary to transfer manpower from the field troops? Now Liaodong, in the direction of Hetao, there is no enemy. If the field troops are deployed, the current forces on all fronts will be weakened. This, what is the king? Think about it?" He Lanxiong asked.

"No, no. The formation of the third army does not draw personnel from the field troops. The personnel of the third military region mainly come from two aspects. The first aspect is the abolition of the guards in various places. These local guards also have three options. One option is to sign up to become a police officer, the second option is to retire, and the third option is to go to the Third Military Region. The second source of personnel of the Third Military Region is the personnel who have been evacuated from various field troops. After the Third Military Region, they will also enjoy the treatment of regular field troops." Ye Zhong said.

"Police?" He Lanxiong asked suspiciously. "What department is this?"

"This is the king's decision to establish a new yamen to replace the original responsibility of the local guards to maintain local public order. However, the original catchers and patrols in various counties and counties will be cancelled. These people can also apply for the police. Of course, it is the best choice. In the center, a new police department will be established to manage all police in the country."

"Add a new department?" He Lanxiong exclaimed.

"Although a new department has been added, in fact, as far as the country is concerned, the abolition of the local guards, the abolition of patrols, and the abolition of head catchers have actually reduced the number of state-supplied personnel by at least 100,000. For the national finance, it can be regarded as a reduction. Reduced a lot of burden."

"The Third Military Region is composed of these people, and the combat effectiveness is worrying!" He Lanxiong touched his chin.

"The Third Military Region is not the main combat unit now. In fact, their more important task is to use it as the construction corps. Commander Helan, in Liaodong, in Hetao, we have a lot of land barren, no one to cultivate, because for the Han For the people, it is almost a barren area. In the past, some people emigrated because they really couldn't survive, but now our Chinese power is thriving, and we can find a living wherever we can. Who wants to go where to endure hardship? So we have to rely on the army. Form to develop these places."

"I understand what they do!" He Lanxiong looked back at the others: "You all understand, right?"

"Understood!" The other commanders nodded together, but they were secretly paying attention.This commander can be improper. Even if he becomes a commander of the army, he is much better than the so-called commander of the third military region.

Seeing everyone's looks in his eyes, Ye Zhong smiled and said: "I just said that this is the main framework of this reorganization. It's good if you have a number in your heart. Next, you have three days to consider your suitability. That position and submit a plan to the king. Okay, I know everyone must be up and down in their hearts now, because some people want to be promoted, but some are going to be demoted, so I will tell you something to let everyone Happy things. For my Han army, there are two major events this time. The first is of course the whole army, and the second is that the king decided to implement the rank system in the whole army."

Seeing everyone's dazed expressions, Ye Da said with a smile: "It seems that everyone doesn't understand it again. It doesn't matter. I didn't understand it at first. This system is set by the king himself. It is simple and easy to understand. Understood. The ranks of the entire army are division officer, colonel, lieutenant and non-commissioned officer. The officers are divided into generals, lieutenant generals, major generals and brigadier generals. Colonels are divided into colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, and lieutenants are divided into captain and lieutenant. , Second Lieutenant and Warrant Officer, non-commissioned officers are divided into sergeant, sergeant, corporal, and soldiers are divided into first class, second class, and private. The commander of the military region is the general, the deputy commander, the chief of staff is the lieutenant general, and the commanders of the army are the lieutenant generals. At least, the division commander is the major general, the regimental commander is the colonel to the brigadier general, the battalion commander is the lieutenant colonel at least between the colonel, the company commander is the captain, the platoon leader is the lieutenant or the lieutenant, and the squad leader is the sergeant. you got it?"

Everyone nodded.In this way, the ranks of the army were very strict.

"The king designed a kind of epaulettes to distinguish the different levels. Looking back, I will send the patterns of the epaulettes to the generals for appreciation. You can also take a look, which one you will bring with you in the future, ha Haha!" Ye Zhi said with a smile: "Very beautiful and majestic!" (to be continued)
