Chapter 1292 Small Matters
After a period of preparation, Su Yonglin ordered the Privy Council to summarize the proposals put forward in the past.

It is up to him to read it first and then convene a state affairs conference for specific discussions. If it is similar, reforms in this area will be carried out.

In order to prevent the occurrence of undesirable phenomena such as mountain tops and groups within each unit, it is necessary to carry out a personnel adjustment and system change in each unit.

The Privy Council quickly gave a complete logistical reform plan in accordance with Su Yonglin's request.

After Su Yonglin read it, he felt that it was very feasible. Just two days before Zhao Buxi and others arrived in Zhongdu, a military affairs meeting was held to discuss all issues including the number.

This military affairs conference, which took place at the beginning of the eighth year of Hongwu, discussed many things about the construction of the Ming army, and reached an agreement on the reform issue, which was officially pushed forward.

The first is the issue of the number of the Ming army.

A decision was made at the military affairs meeting to replace the regional appellation designation with a digital designation, dilute the regional color of the army, and strengthen the national awareness. The designation of each corps will be allocated according to the time when each corps was established.

The earliest established Henan Corps will be renamed the Daming First Corps.

The Qilu Corps, Hebei Corps and Yanyun Corps established later will also be renamed the Second Corps, the Third Corps and the Fourth Corps respectively according to the time when the Corps was established.

The Liaodong Corps was renamed the Fifth Corps, the Hexi Corps was renamed the Sixth Corps, the Jiangxi Corps was renamed the Seventh Corps, and the Sichuan-Shu Corps, which had not yet been established, would be renamed the Eighth Corps.

The military-level designations under the corps will also be changed from the old-fashioned military designations left over from the earlier Restoration Army to brand-new digital designations.

The numbers are completely arranged in order of the army's establishment time, and do not involve arrangements such as army glory and military exploits.

For example, the Henan Corps was first organized by Zhang Yuejing personally led the trapping army, so when the name is changed, the trapping army will be renamed the first army of the Daming First Corps, the enemy army is the second army, and the You Yi army is the third army .

Starting from the Second Corps, the Qilu Corps, the Tianxing Army, Wu Ce Army and Shenrui Army were changed to the Fourth Army, Fifth Army and Sixth Army.

And so on.

The eight corps have a total of 24 military-level designations.

The division-level designation under the army has been the numerical designation since the reorganization of the Ming army.

The difference is that in the previous battle, each army had the first division, the second division and the third division, and there was no independent division designation.

According to the new regulations, because division-level combat units are likely to operate independently from military-level units on the battlefield, division-level troops must also have independent designations.

Then according to the same rules, the division-level designation is below the military-level designation, from the first division, the second division, and the third division under the first army of the first corps, to the fourth division, The fifth division and the sixth division, until the last No.70 second division.

A corps has three corps and nine divisions, and the Ming army's eight corps has a total of 24 corps and 72 division-level designations, which are clear at a glance.

In addition, each of the eight corps has a corps directly under the cavalry, with an establishment of 1 people, which exists as a mobile combat force for the entire corps.

Because these eight directly affiliated cavalry units belong to pure cavalry units, when the new designation is prepared, the designation of [Cavalry No. [-] Division] is used to set it.

In this way, 72 infantry divisions plus eight cavalry divisions are the entire new designation of the Ming army.

The brigade-battalion-level combat units below the division level still follow the old rules.

The only special existence is the Hu Ben Army, which serves as the Central Praetorian Guard.

The designation of the Huben Army has not changed, and the division-level organization under its command also has special designations, namely the first Huben division, the second Huben division, etc., which shows the special status of the Huben Army and the glory of the Central Guards. and tough.

The issue of numbering is almost resolved at this point. The new numbering regulations of the Ming army will be notified to all units for implementation.

Then, for the relatively more complicated logistical issues, after discussion, it was decided to implement the plan first proposed by the Privy Council.

That is to say, the Privy Council took back the power to recruit recruits, train recruits, and assess recruits to each army, and put all the recruit training offices in the logistics departments of the corps under the direct management of the Privy Council.

The Privy Council will set up recruit training camps in the central capital and all the centrally-administered regions of the country, which will be specially responsible for recruiting and training new recruits, and then assigning supplementary troops to each corps according to certain needs.

At present, in addition to the central government around the central capital, the central Shangshu province in the country, there are also the central government of Hetao, the central government of Lianghuai, and the central government of Chongqing which is under planning, so the new recruiting and military training camps will also be built in These places are recruiting troops from all over the country.

At that time, the corps will first report to the Privy Council on the supplementary needs of recruits of the national army. After the Privy Council studies and decides, it will assign tasks to the recruit training camps in various places. Then recruits who pass the assessment will be transferred from the training camps to join the army in each corps.

In the future, each corps should not allow soldiers from a certain region to occupy the majority, but should control the origins of soldiers within each corps through statistics on the origins of soldiers in the entire army, so as to ensure the geographical diversity of soldiers in an army.

When the diversity of soldiers' origins is guaranteed, the harmony of the army is even more guaranteed.

In this way, situations such as regional groupings and small hills that have begun to show signs within the entire army are contained and dealt with.

In the future, if this kind of situation in the army cannot be dealt with, Su Yonglin will use other methods to deal with it, such as commander mobilization, troop mobilization, etc. He does not want to destroy them all, but wants to maintain a benign state. .

These important issues related to army building can be handled very quickly with the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty Central Committee. Su Yonglin signed an order here and promulgated it, and then it can be implemented there.

The handling of the army will be properly resolved along with the stabilization of most of the Ming kingdom.

The meeting here just ended, and over there, the Shu-Song regime's prisoner group and the surrender group headed by Zhao Bunxi successfully arrived in the Central Capital.

Because some people were captives and some were surrendered, there must be different ways to deal with these people.

Of course, this is a trivial matter, at least compared to the reform of military construction, it is all trivial.

Therefore, it was only after Zhao Buxi and others arrived in the Central Capital that Su Yonglin realized that there was no meeting to discuss how to deal with them.

So Su Yonglin could only temporarily settle them in the military camp outside the city, and quickly convened an internal meeting of the Revival Council to discuss it.
