Chapter 373 Military Restructuring and Military Expansion (Please Subscribe!)

...

During the time when Cai You, Wang Fu, and Li Bangyan were stuck at home and couldn't get out, in addition to accompanying his wives and concubines to harm some maids and maids to enjoy the blessings of everyone, and educating his children to enjoy one In addition to enjoying family happiness, Li Yan mainly did one thing-military restructuring and military expansion.

The establishment of Liangshan Army is very chaotic, and they are not subordinate to each other. Once there is a war, it is likely to form a situation where each of them fights independently.

There are many reasons for this situation, for example, the rise of the Liangshan Army is too short, for example, there are fewer commanders in the Liangshan Army, for example, Li Yan's territory is relatively scattered, etc...

Moreover, there are currently not many regular troops in the Liangshan Army, less than 7 (including the naval army). On the contrary, there are sufficient reserves (excluding the more than [-] new troops trained by Yue Fei and others, there are still [-] to [-] reserves, and it is Reserves who have trained for one or two years with strong military skills.)
In short, Li Yan used this period of time to carry out military restructuring and military expansion.

For this reason, Li Yan called Wen Huanzhang, Zhu Wu, Qiao Daoqing, Sun Jing, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Lehe, Zhao Ding, and Chen Kangbo all to help him as a staff officer.

Of course, these people only have the right to be a staff officer—this matter is no small matter, and Li Yan must make a decision arbitrarily.

After repeated discussions, Li Yan finally decided to divide the military ranks of the Liangshan Army into four grades and eleven grades, namely:
Generals: Admiral, Lieutenant General, Major General.

Colonel: Colonel, lieutenant colonel, major.

Lieutenant: Captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant.

Soldiers: privates, privates.

(The military ranks in the Song Dynasty had three grades, seven grades, and sixty grades. It was too cumbersome. Li Yan believed that the military ranks of later generations that had been tempered for nearly a thousand years must be much more advanced than those of the Song Dynasty, so he used them directly.)
Army establishment:

Five people form a team (five people), with a team leader.

Two Wuwu are one ten (ten people), and the ten is set up.

Sanshi is a bet (30 people), with the main and deputy betting.

The three bets form a team (90 people), with captains and deputy captains.

The three teams form a capital (270 people), with a capital head, an instructor, and a deputy capital head.

The three capitals are one commander (810 people), with a conductor, trainer and deputy commander.

The three commanders form a battalion (430 people), with a commander, political commissar, deputy commander, and battalion staff.

The three battalions constitute an army (290 people), with a commander, a military political commissar, a deputy commander, and a chief of staff.

Several armies are divided into Xiang, with capital control, Xiang political commissar, deputy capital control, and Xiang chief of staff.

Above the box are the chief and deputy marshals, which are not set up in normal times, but are held or appointed by Li Yan in wartime.

The number of troops is not fixed. Wu, even, and bets are generally fixed, but when they reach the ranks or above, they will change according to the specific situation.

generally:
The team is around 100 people.

Both, around 300 people.

Command, around 1000 people.

battalion, around 3000 people.

Army, about 1 people.

The military ranks are:

The First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army formed the First Chamber. Lu Zhishen served as the commander of the capital, Lin Chong served as the political commissar of the chamber, Hu Yanqing served as the deputy commander of the capital, and Wang Yan served as the chief of staff of the chamber.

The Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army formed the Second Chamber. Bian Xiang served as the commander of the capital, Cao Zheng served as the political commissar of the chamber, Qiu Yue served as the deputy commander of the capital, and Hu Yanzhuo served as the chief of staff of the chamber.

The Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, and the Ninth Army formed the third chamber, Shi Bao served as the commander of the capital, Deng Fei served as the political commissar of the chamber, Wu Song served as the deputy capital commander, and Guan Sheng served as the chief of staff (temporary).

The Tenth Army, No.11 Army, and No.12 Army formed the fourth chamber, with Hua Rong as the commander of the capital, Guanghui as the political commissar of the chamber, Yang Zhi as the deputy commander of the capital, and Sun An as the chief of staff of the chamber.

The first station: the front lines of Lelang County and Taifeng.

The second station is located in Jeju County.

The third station: the front lines of Zhenfan County and Taifeng.

The fourth compartment is stationed in: Taiwan County.

Note:
Each army has a staff department composed of [-] staff officers (graduates from the Lecture Hall and Battle Case Analysis Hall) to assist the highest officers of each army in managing the army, and a communications department composed of [-] correspondents (raised Military pigeons, receiving and sending information) are responsible for the upper and lower communication, and the military branches are configured according to the specific conditions of each military station.

(One hundred staff officers and one hundred correspondents are not fixed and can fluctuate according to specific circumstances.)
There are more than 3 people in each compartment.

Duguan is the highest officer in the chamber, in charge of the daily training and logistics of the army.

The Xiang political commissar is at the same level as the capital control, but they are in charge of political work, ensuring the purity of the army, and ensuring that the army will always be loyal to Li Yan. The situation of the Liangshan Army is quite special. In order to solve this problem, each political commissar and even each military political commissar has a political staff group. The members of these political staff groups are trained and appointed by the Liangshan Political Department, and are also under the control of the Liangshan Political Department.

The deputy governor can take over the command of the army in the absence of the governor and political commissar, for example, if he is killed in battle, he is the third person in the regiment.

The Chief of Staff is the fourth person, but he does not have the power to lead the army. He can only lead the staff to assist the Du Commander in managing the army. that power.

There are horse troops ranging from [-] to [-] in each compartment, as well as navy and amphibious troops in the second and fourth compartments. All in all, the military configuration of each compartment depends on the station of each compartment.

In addition, in order to ensure that the enemy does not take advantage of loopholes during the period of military restructuring and military expansion, and because Li Yan wants to create room for meritorious service and promotion for famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, the First Army has not been reorganized for the time being.
