Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 612 Destiny of the army, on national policy
First of all, it is an issue of internal affairs. The new territory and population of the Central Republic of China will naturally be governed according to the basic national policies of the Central Republic of China. What makes Gao Jin, the Minister of the Interior, feel embarrassed is the lack of grassroots officials. In this general literacy rate is low In this era, it is not easy to find qualified grassroots officials.

For this reason, Gao Jin can be said to be grey-haired, and Liu Wei's plan for him is to adopt the method of "hiring with a high salary".Under the guidance of the [-]-character policy of the Central Republic of China, "the law is the basis, democracy is the core, science and technology promote progress, and the people are the foundation", the entire social atmosphere has also undergone considerable changes, although it has not completely escaped the influence of feudal ideology. , but at least scholars no longer have the stubborn thinking of self-proclaimed aloofness. As long as they are willing to pay attractive remuneration, there are still many people who are willing to take up the post of grassroots officials to realize their life aspirations.

It is not enough just to have low-level officials, it is also necessary to ensure that these officials will not breed corruption.In the past, on the surface, the Minister of the Interior was in charge of the work of clean government, while secretly, the Shadow Team was in charge. However, Liu Wei felt that since the Central Republic of China was on the right track, a corresponding organization should be established to be responsible for the clean government of the government. work.

This is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, and another problem is how to settle more and more ordinary people.It is true that the increase in population is a dividend, but everything has its own two sides. An excessive population that cannot be controlled and guided will damage a country beyond the existence of scourges.

Just distributing land according to the established system of the Central Republic of China is a rather troublesome task. Once it is relaxed a little, it may lead to conflicts.Therefore, in this area of ​​work, Gao Jin basically grasped and supervised it personally, and dared not relax in the slightest.

But even so, in the process of land distribution, there will still be an endless stream of petty corruption. In order to obtain better land resources, ordinary people who have just entered the Central Republic will often take the initiative to bribe the responsible officials. Some officials are not willing enough. If you are firm, you will naturally reach out.

Gao Jin will never be lenient when dealing with such officials.What Liu Wei meant was that Gao Jin should persevere in this work, and that corruption must not be rampant in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic.

There are many livelihood issues that need to be dealt with, but not all issues need to be discussed on the table. As long as the normal operation of the country can be guaranteed and the external military advantage can be maintained, the Central Republic of China can always stand at the pinnacle of the world.

"The army of our country is centered on the Minister of National Defense. It is divided into five front armies. Simply put, they are the East, South, West, North and Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards are only responsible to the emperor and only accept the dispatch of the emperor. The four fronts It is responsible to the Ministry of Defense and accepts the dispatch of the Minister of Defense."

This distribution plan was a consensus reached after a long discussion between Liu Wei and Han Shizhong and others.

It stands to reason that Yue Fei is more qualified to be the Minister of National Defense. Even Han Shizhong himself proposed to abdicate, but Yue Fei himself insisted on not accepting this position. He preferred to be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army.

The main target of the Eastern Army's attack and annihilation was the Southern Song Dynasty, which was also the main enemy of the Central Republic in the east in recent years.Some people may think that Yue Fei came out of the Southern Song Dynasty, why is he willing to turn around and attack the Southern Song Dynasty?In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Compared with Gao Chong, Yue Fei has more reasons to hate the Southern Song Dynasty court and the Zhao family. As the saying goes, from love to hatred, lovers become enemies are often even more unforgettable.

The four major armies in the southeast, northwest, and north are simply expressed in terms of "one, two, three, four" front armies. To the east is the first army. Yue Fei personally leads the army. There are a total of 3000 troops under his command, half of which are cavalry, all of which are equipped with advanced firearms. , including an artillery team of [-] people, with a total of [-] artillery pieces of various types.

The second front army is the south-facing army, under the charge of Chai Qingyuan, with a total of 3 soldiers and horses under his command. Hu Li and others all served under Chai Qingyuan's command. I am afraid that no one thought that Chai Qingyuan would eventually stand out under Liu Wei's command and become the leader of the army. The first commander in chief among the younger generation.

The third front army is a west-facing army, and the person in command is Wu Lin. The generals under his command are veterans from the Wu rank line in the past. The number of troops is also [-].

The fourth front army is the northward army, and of course Gao Chong will be in command. Relatively speaking, Gao Chong, the fourth front army, can be said to be the army with the heaviest military mission. Two forces.Although the Mongolian grassland is still in a period of internal integration, Liu Wei will never let go of the opportunity to nip the Mongols in the bud.

It is really because the task of the fourth army is arduous, so in terms of staffing, not only is it equipped with 5 people, which exceeds the number of Yue Fei, but it is also equipped with [-] heavy artillery pieces and a ratio of [-] artillery pieces. I have handed over all the old foundations to Gao Chong, and hope that Gao Chong can use these capitals to make a career out of it.

The Second Legion in charge of Chai Qingyuan mainly aimed at the remaining military power of Tubo. In Liu Wei's plan, Tubo didn't need to master military power. Chai Qingyuan's [-] soldiers and horses are definitely not vegetarians!

As for the Third Army Corps in charge of Wu Lin, the main combat task at this stage is to cooperate with Gao Chong's Fourth Front Army. While being responsible for the security affairs of the Central Republic's westward movement, it also needs to clear away the remnants of the Xixia Kingdom and infiltrate further.

Although Liu Wei is not an ambitious person, the system of the Central Republic of China itself determines its expansion.The superior civilian life attracts the civilians under the rule of the surrounding forces, and it is bound to conflict with these forces.

Take today's Panxi Plateau as an example.

It was "borrowed" from Duan Zhengyu at the beginning, but with the passage of time, the subjects of the Dali Kingdom on the Panxi Plateau have already completely regarded themselves as citizens of the Central Republic, and the Central Republic is also happy. See what happens, and acquiesce in the transformation.

It's not that Duan Zhengyu is ignorant of these things, but he can only hate in his heart, but he dare not show any dissatisfaction. The huge Central Republic, that is, the mountain that weighs on the Dali Kingdom, is powerless to overturn and unable to struggle, Duan Zhengyu , It is like the monkey grandson who was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain, maybe 500 years, maybe 1000 years, no one knows whether Dali will finally turn around or be assimilated by the mountains.

The Second Front Army under Chai Qingyuan's charge also has the intention of targeting Dali, but Liu Wei has not considered conflicting with Dali in the near future-the south of Bashu is poor and poor, and the cost of carrying out military operations is quite high, but the benefits are huge. is extremely small.

Basically, the recent military arrangements of the Central Republic of China are like this. Liu Wei almost divided all the troops of the Central Republic of China into the hands of each general. He originally planned to leave only [-] elite troops as his imperial guards, but Everyone strongly opposed it. Even Gao Jin and Han Shizhong threatened Liu Wei. If Liu Wei wanted to go his own way, they would use the power of cabinet ministers to impeach Liu Wei, the prime minister, without considering the safety of the royal family!

This sounds ridiculous. To impeach Liu Wei, he said that he did not consider Liu Wei's safety, but this is the system, a system that even Liu Wei cannot violate.In the end, after many consultations, the number of Imperial Guards was determined to be [-], responsible for all military defenses in the Gyeonggi area, sacred and inviolable, and only accepted by His Majesty the Emperor.

Liu Wei compromised, but in the same way, Han Shizhong and others also made a compromise, but this compromise was for the future, that is to say, the emperor Liu Wei is special. The number of guards cannot exceed [-], and the rest of the team is responsible for the safety of the prime minister.

In addition to the 18 regular troops of the four front armies and the Imperial Guard, Liu Wei introduced the concept of reserve service this time.As a supplement to the regular army, reserve forces can directly enter the battlefield to fight in special periods that endanger national security.

Perhaps the regular army of 18 is completely incomparable with the number of armies of later generations. However, in terms of the effect of the advanced firearms of the Central Republic of China, it is enough to make the surrounding forces such as the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty tremble.You must know that Gao Chong destroyed the Xixia Kingdom with only 5 elites, Han Shizhong resisted the Jin soldiers and swept Hubei, and conspired to capture Kaifeng with only 18 to [-] people. The [-] regular army is enough to wipe out any enemy of the Central Republic of China!
"Marshal Yue, the [-] troops under your command are mainly composed of the original Yue Family Army. Next, Mr. Han will send a corresponding number of instructors and political commissars to join the Yue Family Army. I still have the original wish. In the Central Republic of China, no one All the troops are the country's army, and they all fight for the benefit of the country and the people." When he said this, Liu Wei was serious. This is a fundamental problem. The Central Republic of China does not There should be warlords, no matter what kind of warlords they are, they are not allowed.

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, the general will give orders. From now on, there will be no Yue Family Army in the world, only the First Front Army of the Central Republic of China!" Yue Fei nodded his head heavily, his words resoundingly loud.After Yue Fei, all the generals have stated that they will strictly abide by this order and maintain the national character of the army.

In fact, the national nature of the army has always been emphasized by the feudal emperors of all generations.It's just that for the emperors, the country is the family, the family is the country, and the army of the country is equivalent to the army of the emperor's family.However, with the backward level of technology, it is normal for the generals to be outside, and King's Landing will not accept something. This was also the thing that the royal family was most worried about throughout the Song Dynasty.

After adjusting the military affairs, this meeting still needs to determine one point, which is the foreign policy. To put it simply, it is the question of who to attack first.
