Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"In the past, Beijing Camp developed the bad habit of eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers. A large part of the reason is related to the uneven number of troops commanded by generals at all levels and under their command."

When Yuan Keli had doubts, Zhu Youxiao rode forward and told the reason why he wanted to form a new army in the third battalion, "I will not talk about the middle and low-level generals, but just the general soldiers appointed by the imperial court. In various parts of the Ming Dynasty, some can rule tens of thousands of people, some can rule more than ten thousand people, and some even only have thousands of people."

"Indeed, such a status quo exists to avoid the threat of self-reliance with troops, but in my opinion, if we block it purely for the sake of blockage, the only people who will be affected in the end will be our Ming army."

"Because the establishment is not unified from the root, it will inevitably create a confusing situation, which also allows some people to take advantage of the loopholes."

"Your Majesty is wise!!"

Xiong Tingbi resonated and agreed without hesitation. He once served in Liaodong and deeply felt the harm of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's military system!

Although Xiong Tingbi did not know the scale of the two levels of town and association mentioned by the emperor, after listening to what the emperor said, Xiong Tingbi knew clearly that if the army under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty could achieve comprehensive organizational unification, then it would be like drinking the blood of soldiers to eat. There will be no room for such bad habits as empty wages to be exploited!

"According to my overall vision, the new army to be formed in the next three battalions will have 12512 troops at the town level. This is the A-type town sequence."

"In addition to the two A-type associations under its jurisdiction, it will also directly administer a number of fully-organized battalion schools. These battalion schools are organized according to infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, supply and other arms, as the absolute strength of the Chinese army!"

"When I originally merged the Military Affairs Bureau under the Inner Court and the Ordnance Bureau under the Ministry of Industry into the Arms Bureau, it was to mass-produce new firearms and various sophisticated ordnance for the Beijing camp. In my opinion, the time is too short. It's urgent, so we have to walk on two legs. I am responsible for solving these army needs. The Qing family must organize all the ministries in the capital camp, and at the same time, the new army must be well trained."

"In addition to the A-type town sequence, I also have a B-type town sequence. The above two types of sequences are both standing armies. The difference is that the mixed arms are different and the scale is different. This can cope with the complex military and political needs of the Ming Dynasty."

"This province should be beautiful, and some areas like it are important, but they cannot support large-scale military garrisoning. The effect of using smaller-scale elite garrison is much better than the former..."

As Zhu Youxiao told some of the New Army's ideas to Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli who were accompanying him, Xiong and Yuan showed different expressions.

Such an unconventional new army military system is undoubtedly very consistent with the existing military positions of the Ming Dynasty, such as chief military officers, deputy chief military officers, staff generals, guerrilla generals, thousand commanders, general commanders and other generals. How many troops are they responsible for? , there are extremely clear divisions, either Category A sequence or Category B sequence. From now on, when the court allocates corresponding money and grain, it will be distributed strictly according to the corresponding sequence. If anyone dares to get involved, if there is any big noise, It will be very clear when the court investigates in the future, and there won’t be much to argue about!

"What is the emperor talking to them about? Why do you think Xiong Tingbi and the others are a little excited?"

"I don't know!"

"Isn't it related to me?"

On the way to the Central Army of the Fifth Army Camp, the serving nobles and the generals of the Beijing Camp who were isolated by the Luan Guards saw through the layers of guards that the emperor was chatting with Xiong Tingbi and the others in front of the emperor, but they could not hear anything. This inevitably makes some people anxious.

But what these people didn't know was that while they were whispering among themselves, some people in the entire team guarding the imperial court were secretly observing.

Just because Zhu Youxiao is willing to trust Xiong Tingbi does not mean that he will trust others.

For such a major event as rectifying the capital camp, some new things will even be explored during the rectification period. Zhu Youxiao will never allow anyone to dare to destroy his ideas!

The military is not a place where anyone can do whatever they want.

If you want to create a strong army that can fight through hundreds of battles, you must first establish military regulations and disciplines. Only by doing this well and everyone abiding by military regulations and disciplines can you have the corresponding foundation.

"Now that I have made my plans for the new army clear, let me explain the "Infantry Drill Code" to the Qing family before inspecting the Central Military Headquarters of the Fifth Military Camp."

When the imperial chariot arrived at the general commanding platform of the Chinese army, Zhu Youxiao dismounted from his horse, holding a riding whip in his hand. As he walked towards the general commanding platform, he said to Xiong Tingbi: "This "Infantry Drill Code" was also compiled by me for the new army. Among them I referred to various military books such as "New Book of Jixiao" and "Records of Military Training" compiled by Qi Jiguang, as well as "General Essentials of the Continuing Martial Arts" written by Yu Dayou."

Ok?

Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli showed doubts.

The emperor writes a book of war?

If this spreads out, it will definitely cause an uproar.

You must know that in the current Ming Dynasty, the culture of the civilized and the military is extremely strong. For the civil servants, restricting the military generals at the political level is what they have been doing.

Even among the civil servants of the past dynasties, there were extremely prominent struggles and games between each other, but once key matters were involved, they would temporarily shelve the dispute and eliminate the bad signs first.

This is the root cause of the many ups and downs in the Ming Dynasty's army after the Tumubao Incident. This is because the group of nobles and nobles who used to hold military power were gradually emptied out by the civil servants. The group of nobles and nobles became mascots, and the nobles and nobles were The connection between military generals, without the connection of knighthood, was cut off abruptly.

In fact, if the army wants to maintain its combat effectiveness, it must abide by the military merit award mechanism. This is the fundamental reason for the continuous replacement of old and new.

If the old forces fall, there will be emerging forces to take their place. Even if the former are hereditary, they can be eliminated in various ways.

But the key to the problem now is that it no longer has this ability, which also caused the Ming army to lose its soul!

"The "Infantry Drill Code" compiled by me has a clear and detailed program, general principles, training subjects and methods, etc. It has only one purpose, so that the new army can move towards formality and professionalism. I want to establish the true source of the Ming Dynasty's army!"

Under the doubts of the two people, Zhu Youxiao said with a serious expression: "If you want to truly train the new army, you must start from the source. We must strengthen military discipline and clarify military regulations. In addition, we must call upon each other among the various arms." , the corresponding strategies and tactics, the derived corresponding disciplines, etc., are all clarified in specific words. Only by doing these things well can the new army be formed. This is the key to reforming the army's accumulated shortcomings!"

Zhu Youxiao has always had one principle in doing things, either don't do it at all, and if you do it, you must do it to the extreme. This is the attitude towards doing things!
