Daming Yuanfu

"I just don't know whether the commander-in-chief and command department of each region will choose combat soldiers or the production and construction corps?"

As soon as Gao Pingshi said these words, the generals looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know how to answer for a moment.In the end, Qi Jiguang was still upright and said with a smile: "If I were the commander-in-chief of a town, I would definitely choose soldiers."

Qi Jiguang is one of the two veterans Gao Pragmatic brought today. Although he no longer leads troops, his nephew Qi Jin is the current North Korean general military officer. Therefore, Qi Jiguang's words are equivalent to " "Help" Qi Jin make his choice - Qi Jin certainly wouldn't dare to oppose his opinion.

Now, the problem came to Li Chengliang.

Li Chengliang actually didn't want to agree to this. After all, the Li family had become a local snake in Liaodong many years ago.Even though Gao Yuanfu deliberately deployed a large number of Xuanda generals to balance the strength of the Li family when he was in Liaodong, in any case, the Li family was a family of local military generals, and the foundation of the Xuanda generals was always in Xuanda. , He is just a guest general in Liaodong, and after all, "a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake".

What's more, with the annexation of North Korea, the Xuanda Department's troops stationed in Liao were more or less transferred south to North Korea, which allowed the Li family to continue to regain its prosperity in Liaodong.Under this situation, Li Chengliang really didn't want to give up the so-called "Production and Construction Corps" and only kept the fighting soldiers.

After all, according to the Guards model, the Production and Construction Corps is in charge of money, while the combat soldiers only spend money - this means that although the combat soldiers are strong, they have to look at the production and construction corps.Of course, Li Chengliang believed that according to Gao Yuanfu's methods, the Production and Construction Corps would ultimately depend on the civilian officials. As for whether it depends on the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Household Affairs, it makes no difference to the Li family.

But now that Qi Jiguang has expressed his stance first, Li Chengliang has no reason to object. Besides, he now knows very well that the reason why Gao Yuanfu insisted on bringing this old man here is probably to force him to express his stance. The objection is actually meaningless - —What’s the matter, is there anyone in the Ming Dynasty’s military who dares to say no to Mr. Gao Hou?

Li Chengliang coughed dryly, glanced at his youngest son Li Rumei, who was staring at him nervously, and sighed: "Yuanfu has the discretion to decide on major matters in the imperial court. Since Yuanfu thinks it should be done, then it is what it should be done. We warriors are naturally willing to do it." Attachment Jiwei... If this strategy is going to work, then I, the Li family of Tieling, have always been established in the military, so I will naturally choose soldiers."

Gao Pingshi breathed a sigh of relief, but he just smiled and nodded, and glanced at Ma Gui gently.

What else could Ma Gui say?Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, two military ministers who were awarded the title of earl for their military exploits, did not dare to object a word. How could I, a direct descendant who had served under Yuan Fu for many years, dare to express my dissent?
Ma Gui quickly sat up straight, clasped his fists and said, "I have only learned one thing in the past twenty years: listen to Yuan Fu and you are right. Since Yuan Fu said that you must change, you must change it. I am in the cloud." The entire Ma family agrees, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"

good very good.Qi Jiguang has great prestige among the military officials, and Dongli and Xima are the strongest. Now that these three families have agreed, there will probably be no one in the Ming army who dares to oppose... Well, there is one person in the Southern Army. The prestige and strength are not bad, but that person is very coincidental, it is Liu Wei.Hum, if Liu Wei dares to object, I will directly ask Liu Xin to whip her brother with a riding crop.

"Okay! The three marshals are indeed loyal to the country. They agreed without even asking about the establishment. I'm happy, I'm happy! I'm very pleased." Gao Pragmatic slapped the table and praised him arrogantly. road.

Qi Jiguang smiled, Li Chengliang smiled forcefully, and Ma Gui smiled dryly.

Of the three, in fact, only Qi Jiguang was truly unselfish about this, and the reason why Gao Pragmatic did this could be seen at a glance.Gao Yuanfu was really working hard for the Ming Dynasty's army. It was too late for him to move someone, so how could he be dissatisfied?
Li Chengliang asked himself that he was powerless to object. No matter what it was, it was impossible for the Li family to compete with Gao Pragmatism, so why bother asking for trouble?

As for Gao Yingshi's statement that they "didn't even ask about the establishment", Li Chengliang also asked himself that it would be better not to ask - with Gao Yuanfu's method, since he had achieved a complete victory today, he chose to fully cooperate.Then Gao Yuanfu will definitely give a sweet date instead of a stick. Li Chengliang can guarantee this.

Ma Gui's dry laugh was because he was indeed in a dilemma.On the one hand, the power of the Ma family has been expanding rapidly precisely because of the support of Gao Yuan. On the other hand, the juniors of the Ma family have developed better in the military than the juniors of the Li family in recent years, and now occupy many high positions. , and now I "don't even ask about the establishment", I don't know if I will suffer too much loss because of this, and it will be difficult to explain it to the clan when the time comes?
The three commanders just "smiled and said nothing". Gao Pragmatic also knew that they had different thoughts in their hearts, so he did not intend to play riddles anymore. He directly took out a list of statements and said: "This is the main measure of this round of military reform. , in a nutshell, except for the Imperial Guards, the armies of each town in the Ming Dynasty are divided into three categories: A, B, and C, and their organizational size and armed equipment will differ depending on the classification."

Gao pragmatically put the note on the table and saw that except Qi Jiguang, almost everyone was staring nervously at the note pressed by his fingers, as if they were about to grow a pair of clairvoyant eyes and immediately see clearly what was inside. What was written.Gao pragmatic couldn't help but smile slightly, pushed this Chen in front of Qi Jiguang, and said warmly: "Dean Qi, please come and read it."

"Dare you disobey your order?" Qi Jiguang said politely, picked up the document without hesitation, opened it, glanced at it, and then read: "The soldiers of the world are divided into four categories. The imperial guards are the emperor's guards and the weapons of the court. , so it is listed separately and can be said to be super or special. It has five towns under its jurisdiction, supplemented by a heavy artillery association.

Each town has two infantry regiments, each with 38 officers and men; each regiment has two regiments, with 750 infantry regiments and 110 horse regiments; each regiment is divided into three battalions, each with four Companies, three rows per company, three sheds per row...

There is one bid for the cavalry and artillery teams, each with three battalions, each with four companies of horses and three teams of artillery; one battalion of engineers, with four companies per battalion, and three platoons per company; one battalion of baggage trains, with four teams per battalion.The infantry company, artillery company, and engineer company each have three rows with three sheds in each row; the horse company has two rows with two sheds in each row; the baggage company has two rows with three sheds in each row.There is also a military music and drum troupe.

There are two officers and auxiliary officers in each shed of each branch, four officers and eight officers.There are 740 eight officers and sex workers in the town, 430 senior officers, and 320 soldiers and servants, totaling 1 people.In this way, the Imperial Guard has five towns and one association, with a total of 510 people. "

"Below the Imperial Guard, there is a Category A Corps. The towns and below of Category A Corps are organized together with the Imperial Guard. Each army has four towns and 48 people in each army. It is planned to organize and train ten armies, respectively: Liaodong First Army, Jizhou First Army, Xuanfu First Army, Datong First Army, Yansui First Army, Ningxia First Army, Guyuan First Army, Gansu First Army, Seoul First Army, Yili First Army An army.”

"what!"

"hiss……"

It seems that Gao Pragmatic's plan for the Tenth Army was somewhat unexpected by the generals. Many people couldn't help but gasped and even said "Ah" in shock.

Gao Pingshi looked around at the crowd and asked, "What objections do the generals have?"

The generals' hearts were pounding. Li Chengliang had something in his mind but didn't want to speak, so he gave Li Rumei a secret wink.

Li Rumei didn't know what her father was thinking, so she simply asked what she wanted to ask: "Yuan Fu, why is it that Taiyuan, one of the nine sides, is missing among the ten A-type armies, but there are more North Korea, Seoul, and... and this What Yili? It’s embarrassing to say that I am so ignorant and ignorant that I don’t know where this Yili is?”

Gao pragmatically said: "Ili, in the Western Region, it will be the place where I will station my troops in the Western Region in the future." After that, he described the importance of the Ili Valley, and finally emphasized: "Ili is second to none in the Western Region. If Yili is there, the Western Region will be there; if Yili is lost, the Western Region will be lost. Therefore, I set up an A-type army for Yili, with [-] elite troops to control it. It can feed on the river valleys and control the entire region."

When Gao Pragmatic mentioned the importance of the Ili River Valley, all of them were famous generals and naturally knew its value. They did not doubt that there was anything wrong with setting up an A-type army here, and they all nodded to express their understanding.

Li Chengliang thought to himself: "I didn't expect that Gao Yuanfu would organize as many as four towns for a Category A Army, and they are all the same as the towns of the Imperial Guard. This is extremely elite armament, and the firearms and cannons are of the highest quality. ...If our Liaodong Army organizes and trains the four towns according to the armament of the Imperial Guard, it will be much stronger than it is today.

However, I wonder if the control of the four towns of this army can be controlled by the people of my Li family?If the leaders of the four towns all come from my Li family, then it will be a real bargain. But if it is mixed with sand and divided into one town and two towns, the situation will be difficult to say.

Oh, and also, although the Type A Army is strong, in the final analysis it only has [-] troops, and Yuan Fu added the suffix "First Army" to the names of all ten Type A Army, which shows that there should be more Second Army', 'Third Army' and the like as supplements.But I don't know who will fall into the hands of this 'Second Army' and 'Third Army'? "

But at this moment, Qi Jiguang saw that no one continued to ask questions, but he coughed slightly and continued to read: "Each Army of the B Army has three towns under its jurisdiction, and its armament is second to that of the Imperial Guard and the A Army, and the number of personnel in each town remains unchanged. , each army has 530 soldiers. There are [-] armies in total, which are located in the following cities: Nanjing, Fengyang, Xingdu, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Wuchang, Changsha, Guangzhou, Nanning, Guiyang, Chengdu, Kunming , Jinan, Kaifeng, Xi’an, Baoding, Taiyuan.”

When everyone heard this, they secretly thought: It turns out that Taiyuan was demoted this time. It was obviously one of the nine sides, but it was not set to Category A. It only got a Category B military establishment... But, why is this?
As a general of the Xuanda Department, the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong, and Taiyuan are actually "Shanxi Military Towns" and have been regarded as one for many years, so at this time Ma Gui couldn't help it and asked: "Yuanfu, Xuanfu." Daer Town has an A-type army, so why was Taiyuan downgraded to a B-type army? Taiyuan Town is the main force to guard against the Ordos Mongols' eastward march into the Hebei Plain. This downgrade is probably..."

Gao Jingshi waved his hand lightly and said: "By the time the adaptation is completed, Taiyuan will probably no longer have to shoulder this important task."

"Ah?" Ma Gui was stunned.What does it mean that there is no longer this important responsibility to shoulder?

"When the Western Region is retaken, the Ordos tribe will be ordered to move westward, and then assist the Yili First Army in the Ili Valley to guard the Western Region." Gao pragmatically said calmly: "In addition to infantry and artillery, the cavalry of the Yili First Army will be mainly heavy cavalry, and The Ordos Department will be all light cavalry. At that time, the light and heavy forces will be coordinated, and the Ordos Department will be mainly responsible for handling the small groups of enemy troops outside the river valley. Only when the enemy's heavy troops and giant bandits appear, the Yili First Army will go into battle."

PS: At the beginning, I thought about organizing five A-type armies first. Then I thought that the distribution of benefits would be a bit difficult, and the "five main forces" sounded very ominous... In the end, it was doubled, and it was perfect. .
