Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 964 Internal and External Training (3)

Clarifying the reorganization of the army was Zhu Youxiao's comprehensive reform of the army's combat power, construction, promotion and other aspects. In this process, Zhu Youxiao had to abolish the household servant system, clarify the number of staff at all levels, and then solve the problem of eating empty salaries and sucking the blood of soldiers. The smooth completion of the reorganization of the Beijing Camp would mark the rebirth of the Ming Army.

Beijing.

Rong government.

"Duke of England, everyone is here."

Wei Guangxu, the assistant military officer of the Beijing Camp, walked into the office calmly, looked at Zhang Weixian who was deep in thought, and said calmly: "It's time to hold a military meeting to increase the number of standard soldiers to speed up the reorganization of the Beijing Camp."

"Let's go."

Zhang Weixian said calmly.

If we really have to talk about the pressure of the reorganization of the Beijing Camp, Zhang Weixian and Wei Guangxu must have borne the greatest pressure. After all, it involves such a wide defense area and so many troops. When the reorganization is completed, the Beijing Camp will become the First to Eighth Armies of the Army, and the garrison guarding the capital will become an independent town. This change is extremely big.

"Old You, how is the reorganization of your First Army going? This reorganization is really not a job for humans. It is more tiring than fighting a war. If I had known this would happen, I might as well have followed General Qi to the southeast."

"Look at what you have accomplished. It's just a reorganization. The Military Affairs Council has clearly divided the military organizations. Those who pass the assessment will be retained in the army, and those who fail will be eliminated."

"You are talking so lightly. Who of those who have been able to stay in the Beijing camp in recent years is a vagrant? Aren't they all first-class good guys?"

"Yes, we are all human beings. It is not easy to judge who to choose and who to leave. I dare not look at those who were eliminated. Yes, they were sent to various places in the capital to garrison, but can the local garrison be compared with our army?"

"Those guys in the Military Affairs Council are really cruel. They advised His Majesty to temporarily establish eight armies. If there are more, it may get out of control."

"Okay, everyone, stop talking. What we are doing now is the first time. If something goes wrong, no one can take the responsibility. As long as we do a good job, we will continue to reorganize it later."

The senior officers from the first to eighth ranks of the newly formed army gathered in the hall, chatting with each other in groups of three or five.

Zhang Weixian and Wei Guangxu are under a lot of pressure, and the group of officers in front of them are also under a lot of pressure. The former are responsible for taking charge of the overall situation, and the latter are in charge of various military affairs.

The reorganization and training of the army advocated by Zhu Youxiao was still a brand new challenge for the military generals of the Ming Dynasty. The key was that what they did would be related to the subsequent overall deployment. If they did it well, everything would be easy. If they did not do it well, things would get out of hand.

When it comes to fighting, everyone is good at it.

After doing these things, everyone had diarrhea.

What would the emperor think?
After all, I really can't do it well.

Or don’t want to do it well?

This is no joke!

As time went by, Zhu Youxiao's influence on the army was growing year by year, especially in the matter of rewards based on merit. No matter whether they were military generals or grassroots soldiers, they were all willing to work for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the atmosphere where civil officials are respected and military officials are despised, most people do not look at them straight in the eye, but the emperor, who is high above everyone else, really treats them as human beings, which has a great impact on people.

"The general has arrived!!"

"Xie Rong is coming!!"

As the shouts rang out, the noisy main hall immediately quieted down, and the senior officers from the first to the eighth ranks of the army gathered there all saluted towards Zhang Weixian and Wei Guangxu with their fists clasped.

"Greetings to the commander-in-chief!" "Greetings to the assistant commander!"

Amid the shouts, Zhang Weixian walked to the main seat, turned around and glanced at the generals in front of him. He felt emotional in his heart. The reorganization of the Ming army was completed, and it was bound to usher in great changes.

Under this military reform, the changes are extremely great. Except for the military command system, which has not been changed, a staff system and a military supervision system have been added to this system. Even the division of various arms, as well as the powers and responsibilities in wartime and non-wartime have been clarified. The self-reliance of troops and separatist rule by local military governors, which have always been talked about by civil servants in the past, will no longer occur under this overall reform.

If this really happened, it would mean that the rebellious army, from top to bottom, would be extremely disappointed with the imperial court. At this point, Zhu Youxiao felt that the Ming army was almost done.

"I called you here for one thing."

Zhang Weixian looked serious, and said as he glanced at the generals in the hall, "Your Majesty has approved the request of the Military Affairs Council to add new troops to the Imperial Court. This time, we need to clarify the number of troops assigned to each army."

When these words were spoken, many of the generals in the hall became excited.

In this atmosphere, some senior officers wearing new military uniforms held their heads high, as a sign of their pride.

As the first batch of senior officers to be reorganized, they all knew that the future trend of the Ming Army would be towards the direction of the standard army.

But this needs to be installed gradually.

This involves an important matter: being able to adapt and rebuild a few years earlier is completely different from adapting and rebuilding a few years later just following the trend.

After all, the Standard Army is a purely firearms army, and the various types of muskets and artillery it is equipped with are the most sophisticated and advanced firearms produced by the military industrial system under the Armament Bureau.

Will this be the same on the battlefield?
It must be different!

"But before reading this out, I want to emphasize one thing." Looking at the generals with different expressions, Zhang Weixian changed the subject.

"With the quota of this batch of standard troops confirmed, our army's first to eighth armies must complete the various reorganizations ordered by His Majesty by the end of August."

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

All the generals in the hall were shocked.

This is too tight.

The rectification and reorganization of the Beijing Camp not only involves the reform of the army, but also the adjustment of the capital's garrison. This involves many levels. Now that the deadline has been set, it means that everything must be accelerated. The key is that there cannot be any mistakes during this period. After all, the Military Affairs Council, the special military supervision, and the judicial system will all work together to supervise.

"You all feel stressed, right?"

Seeing the generals like this, Wei Guangxu stepped forward and said, "If anyone can't bear it, then submit your resignation now. This official and the general will jointly submit it to the emperor."

"The war in the southeast, the war outside Liaodong, and the war in Korea have not yet ended. There are even some new variables. Have you ever thought about how much pressure the Military Affairs Council is under?"

"Your Majesty has too many things to deal with. The reorganized Ming Army is to help your Majesty relieve his worries, not just for show. If anyone dares to slack off at this time, what's the point of having you?"

Upon hearing this, the generals knew that something was wrong, but at the same time, the worries in their hearts completely dissipated at this moment.

Since such a thing has been proposed, it must have been approved by the emperor. What else can we say? We must do it with all our might. Maybe there will be a war later! !
