Reborn Wu Dalang

"What's our loss in this battle?" Wu Dong had already arrived in Zhongjing City at this moment. He stood on the city wall of Zhongjing City and looked at the scenery below, while Hua Rong was standing beside him.

"The loss is a bit large. The number of dead and seriously injured soldiers has reached 7. Now these must be replenished as soon as possible! Governor, after this battle, the army has experienced tempering, but some problems have also been discovered. I think The military system still needs to be reformed." Hua Rong said after hesitating for a moment.

"Oh?" Wu Dong was taken aback.

Hua Rong said cautiously: "Governor, now the Northern Army has a military headquarters to manage military affairs in the north. I think the military department should be removed from the Northern Army, and the authority of the military department should be increased, so that the military department is responsible for the entire military affairs of Liangshan. "

The reason why he was cautious was mainly because he felt that his words might increase his rights, and he was afraid of causing Wu Dong's scruples.

Wu Dong didn't have much scruples, and said with a smile: "I agree! The military department is very useful and can command wars across the country! However, this matter still needs to be discussed at the military aircraft meeting before it can go through."

"Thank you, Commander!" Hua Rong said excitedly.

"This is good for Liangshan. Even if you don't tell me, I will expand the authority of the military department! From now on, you will still be in charge of the military department." Wu Dong said.

He was not afraid that Huarong's status would be too great. Huarong is now equivalent to the chief of the general staff of later generations. The modern military system is very different from the ancient military system. Even the chief of the general staff has to be greatly restricted.And Hua Rong is his brother, he trusts Hua Rong very much.Wu Dong himself has a very high prestige in the army as the governor, and he is not afraid of anyone threatening his position at all.

"Governor, the various legions under Liangshan should also be reorganized! Now we have the northern legion, the various legions in the east of the river, as well as the death squads, the navy, etc. All the legions and armies belong to different leaders, which is not conducive to us. unified command." Hua Rong said again.

"Oh, do you have any suggestions?" Wu Dong said.

"When I was in the military academy, you once mentioned the composition of the 'group army'. A group army is composed of various military services of the army. They work together and are divided into different divisions. I think our army can be divided into various group armies, the Northern Army, All legions in Hedong are in the process of reorganization! Yang Zhi's jurisdiction can be the first army, Yang Xiong the second army, Yue Fei the third army, Han Shizhong the fourth army, Sun Li and others the fifth army, Wu Song the sixth The group army, the death-death army is the seventh group army, and Lin Chong is the eighth group army." Hua Rong said.

He spoke very quickly, obviously thinking for a long time in his heart.

Wu Dong frowned slightly. According to this division, the others are fine, but Lin Chong's status has dropped greatly. Originally, Lin Chong was a giant in Liangshan, but now he is only the commander of a group army!He thought for a while, and thought that Lin Chong should take on other jobs. The Eighth Army should let Hu Yanzhuo be the commander. In addition, Liu Yanqing, Zhe Keqiu and others also have a lot of troops under their command, which can also be assigned to the army. under the jurisdiction of the Ministry.

"This matter can be considered." Wu Dong nodded.

"A group army should not have too few troops, at least 10 people." Hua Rong said again.

"What? 10 people? Eight army groups, wouldn't that reach 80 people?" Wu Dong was taken aback.

Now Liangshan's total strength is around 50, so the army will have to expand its recruitment on a large scale.

"Governor, when we were in Koryo, we only ruled a population of 500 million, and we had 20 troops at that time! Now our population in Liangshan is several times that of before, and our military strength will naturally double." Hua Rong said.

"Should the number of the navy also increase?" Wu Dong asked.

"That's right, the navy should increase to 20 people! According to my plan, the navy can be divided into the North Sea Corps and the South Sea Corps, each commanding 10 people!" Hua Rong said.

"In this way, isn't the country's million-strong army too much?" Wu Dong asked.

"Great governor, not many at all. When the Liao Kingdom was at its peak, it had millions of soldiers! The place we rule now has surpassed the Liao Kingdom, and our population is also larger than the former Liao Kingdom. There are not many million troops." Hua Hua Rong shook his head.

"Millions of troops, how much is needed for military rations every year." Wu Dong said.

"Governor, the Liao Kingdom could support millions of troops back then, and our food production far exceeded that of the Liao Kingdom, so we can definitely afford it! Moreover, the Daredevil Army, Han Shizhong and others are on the grasslands, we have to let them They are slowly becoming self-sufficient in the grasslands! The Beihai Navy is stationed in Dongying and other places. Dongying is rich in products, and the number of people in Dongying on Kyushu Island is also very large, enough to support the Beihai Army. Calculated, we only supply 70 troops." Hua Rong road.

"If you put it that way, it doesn't seem like there are many." Wu Dong smiled wryly.

After careful consideration, he felt that Huarong's idea could be considered.In such a big country, a million troops is really nothing. Liangshan will lay down more territory for the Han people in the future, including Mongolia and some places in the north, which will be included in Liangshan's rule. Enough soldiers and horses are still necessary!

On June 6th, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng came to Zhongjing City. They were very happy to see Wu Dong, especially Wu Yong, who was extremely excited.From last autumn until now, Wu Dong was not in Korea, and Wu Yong seemed to have lost his backbone. Now seeing Wu Dong and knowing that he will work with Wu Dong in the future, he feels full of strength.

On July 7th, Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhu Wu, Wu Song and others came to Zhongjing City. They were also very interested. They first took a good tour of Zhongjing City and enjoyed the scenery of Zhongjing. Discuss state affairs with Wu Dong.

Until July 7, Chao Gai, Liu Yanqing, Chai Jin, Lu Junyi and other talents came to Zhongjing City.

On July 7, the Military Aircraft Conference was finally held. This was the largest meeting held by the Military Aircraft Department in these years. More than half of the top leaders in Liangshan participated in this meeting.

The first topic of the meeting was the reform of the Military Aircraft Department. After five full days of discussion, the preliminary plan for the reform of the Military Aircraft Department was finalized.

According to Wu Dong's proposal, the responsibilities of the members of the Military Aircraft Department were divided in detail!

As the governor of Liangshan, Wu Dong is still in charge of the overall situation, and the Military Aircraft Department is responsible to him!Huarong is the Minister of Military Affairs, in charge of Liangshan's military and national defense, leading the military department to formulate various combat plans, and commanding various armies in times of war!Li Gang is the Minister of Economy, in charge of agriculture, industry, commerce and economics, and Gongsun Sheng is the Deputy Minister of Economy, in charge of road rest in the north!Wu Yong was the Minister of Propaganda, in charge of Liangshan's ideological reform work, and Qin Hui was the Deputy Minister, assisting Wu Yong. Although Qin Hui did not come to Zhongjing, he was also classified as a member of the Military Aircraft Department at this time!Lin Chong is the Minister of Law, in charge of criminal law, including legislation, law enforcement, etc., all under his jurisdiction, which can be regarded as a high-ranking position!Zhu Wu is Minister of Foreign Affairs, responsible for diplomatic work.

The responsibilities of the main members of the Military Aircraft Department have been divided in detail, which can be regarded as the first step in the transformation from the Military Aircraft Department to the cabinet.Although the name of the Military Aircraft Department is still used, it is very similar to the cabinet of later generations in many aspects.Of course, the number of ministers is far less than that of later generations, and the division of responsibilities is not as detailed as later generations.In later generations, the Minister of Economy alone may include the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Commerce and so on.

This system is different from the previous dynasties in China. The Qin and Han Dynasties had the Sangong Jiuqing system. In the Sui Dynasty, in order to divide and limit the power of the prime minister, the system of three provinces and six ministries was implemented. The Tang and Song Dynasties basically followed this system.In the Song Dynasty, the responsibilities of the six ministries were clearly defined. The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rituals, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households each had their own affairs. However, above the six ministries, there was the Central Province, and the Central Province had the left and right prime ministers, Zhongshilang, Menxiashilang, etc. The status of several ministers is above the six ministries, and there is also the Privy Council. The Privy Council's privy envoys and deputy privy envoys are also national ministers, and their status is also above the six ministries.In this way, the status of the ministers responsible for specific matters in the six ministries is not high enough, and they are subject to layers of restrictions when dealing with state affairs.Wu Dong now puts the minister in charge of specific affairs in the first rank of the country, second only to him, the highest governor, so that the efficiency of handling political affairs will be greatly improved.

Of course, the so-called "cabinet system" is just a superficial thing.The real cabinet is elected by the parliament, which is the essence of the cabinet.Now the Liangshan cabinet is elected by some high-level officials within Liangshan, mainly from Wu Dong's personal will.

In this way, Liangshan finally has a preliminary "central government". In the future, the central government will be stationed in Yanjing. In addition to the central government, the local government also needs to be established as soon as possible.
