Chapter 267 Establishment of the Corps

Under the current state, the other troops in Hebei, including the Shenwu Army, are complicated in formation and do not belong to each other, so it will be difficult to have a unified command.

Faced with such a situation, Su Yonglin had some ideas, which he quickly put into practice.

He added a command structure at the level of the Corps, thinking that the current highest military structure, he appointed himself the commander-in-chief of the Corps, and by the way canceled the bugle of the Shengjie Army that Zhao Kaishan gave him.

At the same time, he also cancelled the bugle of the Shenwu Army under Sun Ziyi, and cancelled all the military-level bugles above all the armies.

From then on, the entire military situation is that under the corps there is only the army, under the army is the regiment, and under the army is the battalion-level combat unit. With this level-by-level management and level-by-level orders, unnecessary wrangling and disputes are reduced. Clarify the scope of responsibility and who is responsible.

Su Yonglin became the commander-in-chief of the corps himself, and gave Sun Ziyi the position of deputy commander of the corps. He further included the five armies under his Shenwu Army into the establishment of Su Yonglin's corps and commanded them in a unified manner.

Sun Ziyi did not object to this, and accepted it quickly.

After negotiating with Sun Ziyi and obtaining his approval, Su Yonglin set up the bugles of Wuyi, Wu Ce, Shenrui, Shenjie, and Weilie for the five armies under the original Shenwu Army, and cancelled the original bugles. .

Each army may increase or decrease its number of troops, and all of them shall be streamlined to 1 people.

Soldiers in the army need to select the best soldiers from a large number of soldiers who are of different quality and bad, and all the rest are transferred to the auxiliary army to clarify the responsibilities of soldiers and increase the degree of specialization.

Fight when it's time to fight, and do chores when it's time for chores, with clear responsibilities.

The more than 1000 cavalrymen in Sun Ziyi's army who were cobbled together after the war were also transferred out by Su Yonglin and incorporated into the Huben Camp to expand the combat effectiveness of the Huben Camp and become the cavalry force of the entire corps.

Su Yonglin searched here and there again, and selected soldiers with strong bodies and strong legs to serve as cavalry, and gave them horses, and assembled a cavalry establishment of 7000 men.

Su Yonglin believes that the cavalry must be used together to make sense. Each army retains a small number of sentry knights to spy on the battlefield, and most of the rest of the cavalry must be assembled together to become an independent strategic force.

This cavalry corps is still relatively young, but as long as there is time and training for more than half a year, it will definitely look good, and it will definitely greatly enhance the cavalry combat effectiveness of Su Yonglin's corps.

Having said that, with so many infantry, a total of [-] cavalry can only be assembled, which itself proves the difficulty of cultivating cavalry in the Central Plains.

And the cost is also very high. After calculation, the material consumption of these [-] cavalry can be confirmed to be five or six times that of the general infantry. Su Yonglin is careful and careful.

Hard spending cannot be reduced.

This further strengthened Su Yonglin's determination to seize the grasslands to rebuild the horse farm and train a large number of cavalry in the future. In the next hundreds of years of war, the cavalry will play an important strategic role and are an absolutely indispensable strategic offensive force.

After this major reorganization, the entire Su Yonglin Corps was officially organized.

The entire corps has ten armies under its jurisdiction, with a total establishment of 10 people, which is the main force of Su Yonglin's Hebei army.

These 10 people have a relatively strict command system. From top to bottom, the command system is quite clear, and there are responsible persons at all levels.

Su Yonglin copied almost all the military system of the original Shengjie Army into the five armies of the original Shenwu Army, which also included the three-meals-a-day system, and launched a large training camp based on this.

These 10 people will become Su Yonglin's absolute support for fighting against Wan Yanliang in the future, and will launch an earth-shattering strategic decisive battle with the main force of the Golden Army under Wan Yanliang's command.

In addition, Su Yonglin reorganized the rest of the landlord's armed forces into 36 battalions according to the regions of origin.

Each battalion has an establishment of 2000 people, with a commander and a deputy commander. The total strength of this part of the army is 7 people.

In addition, the soldiers will either go home to farm or enter the auxiliary army according to the rules, do some chores for the main soldiers, be responsible for logistics support and so on.

They are also under the command of Su Yonglin's Corps, but unlike the main force, they are independent battalions that are independent of the ten major armies of the main force. They are stationed in various prefectures and counties, and only follow Su Yonglin's personal orders.

They did not have a clear level-by-level organization and command system like the main force of the Corps, nor did they have senior officers, they were all united by Su Yonglin's personal prestige.

Su Yonglin did not give them an army formation and command force above the battalion level, mainly because he did not believe that this group of people could really command an army of more than 2000 people for coordinated operations.

At present, on the land of Hebei, there is only one person, Su Yonglin, who can coordinate and command the entire army by relying on military prestige.

These local militaries from different regions and pursuing different interests have nothing in common except anti-gold.

Therefore, Su Yonglin's own military prestige will become their greatest common divisor, and only Su Yonglin can command them to move them and make them obey orders.

To set up a regiment or military-level command organization is purely for one's own discomfort and increase the difficulty of command.

Therefore, it is better to simply start commanding from the battalion level and directly flatten the management. This will also increase Su Yonglin's personal power and will not affect the overall command of the entire Hebei Guangfu Army.

In this way, within a very short period of time, Su Yonglin made clear the organization of the entire army in Hebei controlled by him. With the addition of the troops directly under him, the reorganization of the 18-strong Hebei branch of the Liberation Army was completed.

By February [-]th, the formation of Su Yonglin's corps was officially completed, and the military situation in Hebei became clear and clear at a glance.

Su Yonglin also simplified the training method of the original Shengjie Army, and made a simplified version for each independent battalion to use.

Because they couldn't get the preferential treatment of three meals a day like the main force of the Corps, they could only maintain the status quo, so Su Yonglin called on them to train twice a day, morning and evening, at least one hour each time, to ensure that the army could get the most basic training. to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

In addition, he also merged all the logistics personnel of the original Sun Ziyi's department into the five logistics departments, realizing the complete merger of the two armies, and coordinating management of all logistics affairs.

As a result, the logistics of the entire Corps also became well-organized.

In order to promote the construction of the various armies more quickly, Su Yonglin transferred some instructors from the five main armies into the five armies of the original Shenwu Army to assist the military chief in military management.

Of course, the instructors of these five corps are mainly responsible for explaining military regulations and military laws, and are responsible for the supervision and implementation of military regulations and military laws. They do not have other tasks like the instructors in the original Shengjie Army.

This point, Su Yonglin has clearly told them at the meeting, so don't go into more in-depth content for the time being.

The main contradiction in the current situation is the ethnic contradiction.

Before the land of the north is restored, don't go too deep into things, everyone maintains peace on the spot, unites all the forces that can unite against Jin, and takes the elimination of Jin as the first task.

Soldiers who joined the five main forces prioritized the selection of refugees who lost their land, so that it was convenient to arrange their families in the new countryside in northern Shandong, so as to stabilize the basic situation.
But in the eyes of the old and new officials appointed by Su Yonglin, these places belong to Su Yonglin's personal property, and are private kingdoms occupied by the army he controls.

Others don't care about what he is doing in his own private kingdom, because they also have their own private kingdom, as long as everyone doesn't break the river.

The current state is that Su Yonglin has temporarily built a small-scale paradise. If he wants to expand the size and population of this paradise, there is still a long, long way to go.
