Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Your Majesty, there are many generals in the army now, and I sometimes don't know who our superiors are! We can't tell the ranks of the generals, and we are often confused!" A soldier finally stood up and said.

This soldier is a little black and thin, but his eyes are gleaming. It seems that after two days of traveling, his spirit is still very good!

"It's you! Wang Ying!" Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that this long, dark and thin soldier was Wang Ying who had been standing for two and a half hours that day! At that time, Zhao Chen remembered his name, but he did not expect to see him again in the army today!

"It's the villain, the name of the villain that your Majesty remembered, the villain is extremely grateful!" Wang Ying said with excitement.

"The problem you just mentioned, General Yue and I are also discussing these days! Do you have a solution to this problem?" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

What Wang Ying is talking about is the issue of the military system! The military system of the Song Dynasty was chaotic. There were countless high-ranking officials in the army, such as managerial envoys, system envoys, observation envoys, defense envoys, recruit envoys, etc. There were also Zhaowu envoys, Zhenwei envoys, Zhiguo envoys, and Yimen envoys. There are countless middle-level officers of different ranks, such as the school lieutenant of Xuanjie, and the school lieutenant Yumo, as well as countless lower-level officers! An army is often commanded by several generals, and most of the generals' responsibilities are unknown! In the Kaifeng Forbidden Army in the past, some generals did not even know which army their subordinates were, and many soldiers in the army did not know who their immediate superiors were! The reason why the Song Dynasty implemented such a military system was mainly to learn from the experience of the Tang Dynasty to prevent excessive powers of military generals and the occurrence of chaos in the town. In the Song Dynasty, there was almost no military rebellion. Unfortunately, the military's combat effectiveness has also been infinitely reduced. Almost all Han dynasties have the worst armed forces. The Khitan people can bully the Han people, the Xixia people can bully the Han people, and the Jurchens and Mongols can also bully the Han people. The territory of the Han people is getting smaller and smaller until the country is destroyed! Of course, the Western Army’s military system is still somewhat different from the Forbidden Army. After more than a hundred years, the Western Army has formed countless families of generals. The Western Army’s military system is slightly stronger than the Forbidden Army’s military system, but it is still inefficient. There are still situations where soldiers do not know the generals and will not know the soldiers!

At this moment Wang Ying raised this question, Zhao Chen asked, and Wang Ying said: "Your Majesty, I think the Jurchen official system is pretty good! They have ten thousand chiefs, under one ten thousand chiefs there are ten thousand chiefs, and under one thousand chiefs are ten thousand chiefs. A centurion! In this way, the military will know who is older and who is younger, and it will be clear at a glance, there will be no situation where I am waiting for an official!"

Zhao Chen nodded, and said, "The Nvzhen system is excellent, and it is indeed better than my Da Song army!"

Later generations of Mongols also adopted the Jurchen military system when they rose, and it was also a system of ten thousand chiefs, thousand chiefs, and centurions. Such a system seemed simple, but it was extremely effective! In the Cold Weapon era, such a simple military system is much stronger than the cumbersome military system of the Song people. The reason why the Jurchens and Mongols can oppress the Song people is also an important reason!

Wang Ying said, "Your Majesty, should we adopt the official system of Jurchen?"

Zhao Chen was taken aback and laughed: "If we adopt the Jurchen military system, I am afraid that many ministers in the DPRK will disagree! Jurchen is a barbarian. In the eyes of the ministers, how can we use the barbaric military system in China? But we do want to change, I have discussed with the generals of the Forbidden Army these days, and there have been some results!"

Wang Ying said: "I wonder how your Majesty decided to change?"

Zhao Chen said: "The Forbidden Army now has a total of 60,000. I have decided to divide the Forbidden Army into six armies. The leader of each army shall be a general! Each army is divided into three divisions, and the leader of each division is a deputy! Each division is divided into three. Regiment, the commander of each group is the lieutenant! Each group is divided into three companies, and the commander of each company is the deputy lieutenant! Each company is divided into three rows, and the leader of each row is the warrant officer! Each row is divided into several corps. , Led by the captain! These are just some preliminary ideas. We have discussed them several times with General Yue, but have not fully settled them! However, at most one or two months, a new military system must be implemented in the army! The current army The system really cannot continue to be implemented!"

Facts have proved that the military system of the Song Dynasty has completely failed. If this is the case, then those military systems can no longer be adopted, and everything must be done from scratch! The military system Zhao Chen is talking about now is the system of the army, division, regiment, company, and platoon of later generations. In some respects, it is similar to the Jurchen’s system of ten thousand captains, thousand captains, and centurion captains. It just changed the name. ! As for the previous managerial envoys, observation envoys, defensive envoys, various school lieutenants, and other official positions, the corresponding generals have become army commanders, division commanders, regiment commanders, and so on! The reason why Zhao Chen took one or two months to implement this system is mainly because it involves the interests of many generals of the Forbidden Army and the rights arrangements of many generals, so we must be cautious! He and Yue Fei have to discuss it carefully before they can implement it!

This soldier named Wang Ying is very smart. After thinking a little bit, he smiled on his face and said, "Your Majesty, if you implement such an official system, our Han army will never be too different from Jurchen! We couldn't compare to it before. Jurchens, many times it’s because we couldn’t find Shangguan when we were fighting, and Shangguan couldn’t find us either. The more we fight, the more chaos!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "You train well. If you train well, you can become the leader of a platoon or a company! As for other high-ranking officials, they must be promoted on the basis of military exploits!"

Wang Ying was overjoyed and said: "What your Majesty said is true? You can become the leader of a row or a company after training? The villain is already the leader of the corps, and he will definitely train hard in the future and never fall behind!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "In the future there will be exercises in our military, and those who perform well in the exercises can also be promoted! I remembered your name as soon as I came to the Forbidden Army, so I have great expectations for you in my heart. understand?"

Wang Ying nodded and said: "The villain understands! Your majesty, just watch, the villain will make your majesty proud!"

Zhao Chen said: "I hope so! I hope I can see that day soon! Everyone is tired today, let's take a rest!"

On this day, everyone lay down and rested, but Wang Ying was excited, so there is no need to say more about it.

By the third day, more and more soldiers were exhausted and had difficulty walking!

Many soldiers are supporting their comrades or carrying their comrades forward!

By the evening of the third day, Zhao Chen had already arrived at Qinling's feet. He turned his head and looked around, only to see a long queue of dragons coming towards this side! Almost half of the soldiers leaned on their comrades to support them, carrying them forward, and when they saw the mountains in front, the soldiers of the whole army cheered!

After the cheers were overwhelming long live!

This time Zhao Chen was on a rush march with them. Many soldiers talked with Zhao Chen on the way, and were encouraged by Zhao Chen! At this moment, when kneeling is everywhere, long live the voice everywhere!

"Your Majesty, we succeeded! We have only trained for a month, but these soldiers have achieved what no Song soldiers had done before!" Yue Fei said with excitement.

"Now it's just training. From now on, I will take them to fight a victory that I have never fought before! I want to completely expel the Jurchens and rely on them! Now I have a certain degree of confidence in them!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, the Weichen also has confidence!" Yue Fei nodded.

"We talked about the military system a few days ago, and Wang Gui and Zhang Xian of Hedong will also be included in the Forbidden Army! This infantry code must be sent to Hedong, and they must follow this infantry code of practice in Hedong. They also need to change the military system and follow the new military system! They are all rebels, there is no complicated relationship, it should be relatively simple to implement these military systems!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! We will arrange this matter!" Yue Fei said.

"It's getting late today! You send someone to inform Zhao Zhe of Dasanguan, let him see me, I have important things to discuss with you!" Zhao Chen said.

"Important thing? I don't know what it is?" Yue Fei said in surprise.

"It's very important that the future military and political events are involved!" Zhao Chen just said lightly.

It is inconvenient for Yue Fei to ask more, and send someone to inform Zhao Zhe at the moment, not to mention it.
