Chapter 1023
As the core backbone of the brave army, the army at all levels will naturally not be ignored.

The reason why Zhang Cheng proposed the establishment of a military rank system was to ensure the treatment of generals and at the same time strengthen their loyalty and sense of honor so that they could maintain their passion for striving for the first place for a long time.

Although a consensus has been reached on the establishment of a military rank system in the Bravery Army, and it has received strong support from the officers and generals under his command, how the military rank system should correspond to the generals at all levels, as well as the basic requirements and conditions for promotion of military ranks in the future, still remains to be seen. It needs to be finalized thoroughly so that it can be fully implemented in the Valiant Army.

However, before talking about the specific affairs of the military rank system, Zhang Cheng proposed another decision that surprised everyone.

He wants to set up a series of deputies in the brave army, just like each battalion has a chief general and a deputy general, Zhang Cheng has set up deputies for the general, general, hundred, team, and even the chief of the armor.

The specific content is that each department has one chief executive and two deputy chief executives; each division has one chief executive and two deputy chief executives; A is different, but each has a deputy.

Zhang Cheng's idea actually came from his brainstorm. Just after the new year, when he accompanied his family to soak in the hot springs on Chicheng Mountain, he occasionally remembered that there was an army in later generations, so he implemented the "ghost master" measure.

That is, in each division-level combat unit, there are two deputy positions for each military position from the battalion level up.

There are two advantages in this way. One is that through this method, you can train a large number of qualified officers for yourself. You must know that "a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find".

The second is that when the battle is intense and fierce, there will inevitably be a lot of front-line casualties. At this time, if you want to form a new combat force, the most in short supply is the grassroots combat commander.

As for the lowest-level executives, the Jiachang and the team chief, they can be promoted and appointed from among the outstanding sergeants, but as the first-level commanders, the hundred chiefs, the generals, and especially the thousand chiefs cannot be so hasty. Pick the right people.

Moreover, there is a hidden benefit in this way, that is, once Yongningbo Zhang Cheng thinks that the time is ripe and wants to expand the army, he only needs to recruit qualified soldiers, and officers at all levels are ready-made.

When that day comes, it is not impossible for one battalion to become two battalions, or even three battalions quickly!
In Zhang Cheng's memory, there was once such a world war, in which the army of a country fought more and more. No matter how many casualties there were on the frontline battlefield, it could quickly pull up new combat troops and rushed to the frontline of the battle one after another. .

Master Clone, using this word to describe Zhang Cheng's idea is very appropriate, but people in this era can't understand the meaning of the word "clone", so Zhang Cheng gave his idea another name "Ghost Troop"!
Ghosts usually refer to those objects or people that have no fixed shape and are almost invisible to ordinary people with the naked eye. They all look like nothing, and hide in dark corners completely.

If this measure is fully implemented in the brave army, then Zhang Cheng will have at least twelve battalions of soldiers and horses at the same time, and if he uses it to the limit, he will even be able to directly form the main force of the eighteen battalions.

Of course, Zhang Cheng didn't say a word about the military expansion, and all the confidantes who participated in the military discussion also deliberately avoided this topic, but everyone knew very well what kind of huge power was hidden behind this move.

…………

Now, after several rounds of detailed discussions between Yongningbo and the core officers under his command, the corresponding ranks of generals at all levels have basically been established.

The first is the rank of lieutenant. Lieutenant Wudu goes down to the chief of armor, and goes up to the position of deputy team leader; Lieutenant Qi corresponds to the position of team leader and vice president of Baibai respectively; Lieutenant Habayashi goes down to the leader of Baibayashi, and can correspond to the deputy head of the team when going up. Put the total post.

In Zhang Cheng's vision, the military rank system should be independent and equal to the official rank system, and it must also reflect its own flexibility. is alive!
It is based on this principle that when formulating the correspondence between military ranks and officers, only one basic rule of the corresponding system is set, which is the upper and lower limits.

Just like the rank of lieutenant, in principle, it only corresponds to the ranks of brigade chief and hundred chief, but it also covers the rank of chief armor downwards, and the rank of general general upwards, so that the upper and lower limits of lieutenant ranks are limited. expanded, thus greatly increasing its applicability.

Here I will focus on explaining that the chief armor and the deputy chief armor originally corresponded to the rank of sergeant, because the chief armor can be said to be the most basic officer in the brave army. He has the most contact with soldiers on weekdays. This design is also to enhance the enterprising spirit of soldiers with positivity.

As for the position of Chief Jia, although in principle it is selected from among the sergeants, if he performs well in the position of Chief Jia, he can also be promoted to the rank of Martial Commander. The problem of not being able to get promoted.

In the same way, Lieutenant Habayashi, the highest rank among lieutenant officers, has an upper limit corresponding to the level of deputy commander-in-chief. You can even be promoted to general manager.

The second is the school official title, which in principle corresponds to Ba Zong and Qian Zong.

However, the upper and lower limits are also expanded, that is, Yunqi School normally corresponds to the general manager, but it can also correspond to the position of deputy general manager downward; Corresponding to the military rank of General Qian, but under special circumstances, he can also be promoted to the rank of general officer.

Finally, there is the corresponding relationship between the ranks of generals. Among them, the left guard and the right guard correspond to two lieutenants respectively.

However, there was a little surprise here, that is, everyone present held objections to the ranks of the battalion chiefs and generals as guards.

They all thought that if the highest military rank was given to the commanders of each battalion, how would Yongningbo Zhang Cheng, the sole commander of the brave army, evaluate his military rank?
Zhang Cheng also felt rather embarrassed about this, he was indeed negligent in this matter.

For a long time, he has regarded the brave army as his private property, even regarded the brave army as his own children, and put himself in the position of his father, completely superior to the tens of thousands of soldiers in the army.

Now after being reminded by everyone, he realizes that such an arrangement is really inappropriate. While everyone is talking about it, he is also rapidly calculating a solution in his mind.

After a while, Zhang Cheng stopped everyone's discussion. He synthesized everyone's opinions just now and made a final decision: "Let's do this. The deputy generals of each battalion are rated as the right guards, and the chief generals are rated as the left guards."

The Ming respected the left, so the battalion commanders were named as the left guards, and the lieutenants were named as the right guards. Naturally, it was meaningless to everyone.

But just when they thought that Zhang Cheng would rate themselves as the rank of guard, they heard something else: "As for the rank of guard, it is temporarily vacant, and it is reserved as a reward for the battalion leaders and generals after their meritorious service.

In addition, in the future, our brave army may also face two-front battles. At that time, we will need a general to command all the troops on behalf of Benbo. At that time, we can be promoted to guerrillas, generals, and even deputy generals of the brave army. , then you can be promoted to the rank of guard.

Moreover, in our brave army, in the future, the ranks of Shang Hu Jun and Da Hu can be added to correspond to the generals of the brave army at all levels, so that the ranks of each general can be clearly defined. "

Liu Minshen shook his head and said, "General, it's great, but what rank should you use to match the general?"

Zhang Guangda, the head of the Suzaku Battalion, interjected, "Why don't we call it 'Central Guardian Army'. The general is in the Central Army, so it's not impossible!"

Zhang Guodong, the head of the Qinglong Battalion, also said: "The general is in charge of the entire army. In my opinion, it would be more straightforward to call him 'Chief Guard'."

Everyone said something, and I said something, and there was a lot of discussion, but they still failed to reach a consensus.

"Don't argue anymore, everyone."

Zhang Cheng once again silenced everyone's discussion, he glanced at everyone like a torch, and said in a deep voice: "Benbo is the Lord of the Courageous Army, and since he is the commander of the entire army, naturally it is not appropriate to use the name 'Guardian'.

However, there is some truth in what you said, and Ben Bosi also felt that the rank of the commander should not be omitted, and the name of the guard should not be used again, and Ben Bo is the general of Zhenshuo appointed by the imperial court, so why not To 'General' as the rank. "

When he said this, he paused for a while, and after scanning the crowd, he continued: "The name 'Great General' is the highest military rank in the Bravery Army, and it surpasses all other military ranks, and is unique. The rank of the military will not be awarded to anyone except Ben Bo!"

"Good, good!"

Wei Zhice was the first to express his approval and support. He clapped his hands and applauded the goodness. Naturally, everyone had no objection, and everyone expressed their approval.

…………

There is one point to introduce here. Zhang Cheng has set up a series of civil servants in the Yongyi Army, which are staff officers, counselors, counselors and other official positions.

Among them, the official position of counselor is a newly created empty position on the North and East Roads of Xuanfu. As the name suggests, it is only qualified to participate in the discussion of political affairs and provide reference opinions for the rulers to govern the place. No power to participate in decision-making.

Most of these councilors are served by local literati, and there are also a large number of students from newly established schools in the local area. This is a step for them to advance by Zhang Cheng. .

Staff officers and counselors belong to the military ranks, and they will be filled into the major battalions. Their status is much higher than that of the original clerks and clerks, and they will also be awarded military ranks.

Basically, it is to imitate the system construction method of staff officers at all levels of army, division, brigade, regiment, and battalion in the army of later generations, and create staff and counselor positions in the Courageous Army.

Each battalion has a battalion staff officer, each department has a department staff officer, each division has a department staff officer, and there are no staff officers below. The staff officers here are mainly to provide advice and suggestions for the managers at all levels, and to conduct tactical deduction before the battle to provide reference for the decision-making of the general.

Moreover, these staff officers also have an important job, which is to be in charge of the collection and analysis of various military intelligence, which can be said to be the intelligence center of combat units at all levels.

Counselors are more inclined to civilian jobs, and their main duties are to help the general deal with various documents and documents, and are in charge of various forms and books of combat units at all levels, similar to the existence of the logistics minister.

Therefore, counselors are only set up at the battalion and department levels, and the post of counselor will no longer be set up further down.

…………

In addition to the establishment of staff officers, counselors, and counselors, Zhang Cheng further strengthened the responsibilities of town governors at all levels.

As the name suggests, the town appellant has both the duty of deterrence and the meaning of consolation. It can be said that the town appellant must have both a big stick and a carrot in his hand, so that he can both fight and coax.

In order to increase the power in the hands of the town governors, Zhang Cheng specially stipulated that when the army goes out to fight, the town governors at all levels are responsible for managing the supervising team, and each military unit above the division level must form a supervising team to enforce battlefield discipline.

Moreover, in order to further tighten military regulations and discipline, Zhang Cheng also added a brand new military unit to the Yongyi Army - "Punishment Battalion"!
Punishment camps, as the name suggests, are used to punish mistakes and warn the future.

Zhang Cheng stipulated that anyone who violated the military regulations and disciplines of the Courageous Army would be sent to serve in the punishment battalion according to the size of the military regulations and disciplines they committed, just like laborers in the Courageous Corps.

They have a punishment period of three months, at least one month. During this period, they have to work in the punishment camp to atone for their sins, and when the period expires, they will return to the original unit.

But there is something special, that is, the expiration of the service period does not mean the end of the punishment, it just means that their service period in the punishment camp is over.

Once it comes to the battlefield in the future, if it is necessary to organize a death squad to launch a death charge against the enemy, these fighters who have entered the punishment camp will be the first group of death squads to make a death charge.

As long as they are not afraid to retreat in the desperate charge against the enemy, the soldiers who are still alive after the battle can be regarded as having completed their punishment. establish.

Once they retreat timidly during the decisive charge, not only will they be beheaded on the spot by the supervising team, but their families will also be nailed to the pillar of shame and become the laughing stock of other military households in Xuanfu Town.

This shame will not be erased unless there are still males in the family who join the army and have to fight fiercely in the war and make military exploits.

At present, the punishment camp is still in the initial stage of construction. Zhang Cheng only set up one camp in the Weiyuan camp, but not all the punishment camps have been set up in the other camps for the time being.

However, when it comes to the real battlefield, it's hard to say how many punishment camps will be formed!

When everyone heard that Zhang Cheng would supervise the team, they were not surprised yet, but the decision to set up a "punishment battalion" was just announced, which caused another round of discussions among the people.

Everyone has no objection to strict military regulations and discipline, but some of them think that the rules of the "punishment camp" are too cruel. It's "ten deaths without life"!

For example, Chen Zheng, the leader of the White Tiger Battalion who always cherishes the soldiers, is quite disapproving of this.

Yongningbo Zhang Cheng didn't care about everyone's opinions, he just said a word, which made everyone speechless.

"Compassion does not command soldiers!"
