Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 262 Meeting - The split of the military system is over.

With the direction of solving the war horse problem, Li Shaoshi and the Army Logistics Department had no objections.

In this way, the problem of military equipment has been solved.

After Li Shaoshi and the official, it seemed like a flood had opened, and officials came forward one after another to raise their own questions and what they could do.

Zhao Jun gave answers one by one, and made the various departments solve each other's problems, and soon a lot of difficulties were solved one by one.

The two main topics of today's meeting also had results.

There is nothing to say in terms of dealing with the Tatar invasion. It is enough to be ready for battle at all times, and to keep abreast of the movements of the Tatars and respond in a timely manner.

With the current strength of Yunzhou County, although they are not afraid of the front, they can't catch them without being stupid.

So so far, in the face of the highly maneuverable prairie cavalry, unless Yunzhou County can find the opponent's lair and annihilate them in one fell swoop, otherwise it will be a waste of effort to fight.

If they can't beat you and don't want to fight with you, they turn around and run away, and you can't even catch up.

Therefore, in the face of the Tatar attack, Yunzhou County can only passively defend at present.

The expansion and changes to the Guardians are the most discussed topic today.

The expansion of the guard army involves more problems, and all aspects, whether it is equipment, war horses, food, or personnel, are all difficult problems.

Yunzhou County is no better than the Great Song Dynasty in Guannei.

Although the court of the Song Dynasty was short of money, it was less than Yunzhou County in terms of the amount of money and food that could be used.

But in terms of population, it has a great advantage.

As long as the three problems of equipment, money and food are met, no matter how the imperial court conscripts, there are still people.

But Yunzhou County can't do it. As of now, Yunzhou County has a total population of about 250 million people, including 220 million Song people.

A naturalized Tatar population of around 30.

Only these 250 million Song people have formed 20 soldiers and horses, almost reaching a ratio of ten to one.

This is still a relatively normal military-to-civilian ratio.

But if the Guards recruit another 10 soldiers, the ratio will be pulled to seven to one.

Such a military-civilian composition is already very dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is militaristic.

However, judging from the current situation facing Yunzhou County alone, military expansion is necessary.

Otherwise, it is impossible to completely keep the Tatars out of the county with these troops in hand.

So in the end, the proposal to expand the army was passed, and the Yunzhou County Yamen issued a conscription notice to the Song people in the three counties under its command to call in the source of troops.

Everything is based on autonomy, and there should be no half-divided difficulties.

Solving the population problem will solve the biggest problem of law enforcement in expanding the army. As for other issues such as equipping war horses, solutions have also been given before.

In terms of grain and grass, the current storage situation of Yunzhou County is not a problem at all. Even after fighting with Tatar for a few years, the granary in Yunzhou County can also supply it.

So it's all fine.

But the issue of the military system of the guard army has stumped everyone.

The current military system in Yunzhou County is the same as that of Song Dynasty.

Five people make a small team, ten people make a squadron, five squadrons make a big team, and a big team has 50 people.

Then there are two brigades for one capital, five capitals for one battalion, and one battalion of 500 people.

Immediately afterwards, the fifth battalion was combined into one army, and the tenth army was combined into one wing, and the number of one wing was about 5000.

As for the setting of officers, below the battalion are the capital, the captain, the squadron leader, and the squad leader.

For the battalion and above, there are commanders (battalion commanders), deputy commanders, Duyuhou (the commander is the largest, and Duyuhou is the smallest) and other official positions.

At the military level, they are still commanders (military commanders), deputy commanders, Du Yuhou, etc.

Even at the Xiang level, it's just the commander, deputy commander and Du Yuhou of the Xiang level.

This kind of military system is fine when the number of guards is still small. You can know the situation in the army very concisely and clearly, and you can know how many people there are with just a little calculation.

However, with the increasing strength of Yunzhou County and the increasing number of troops, even reaching the number of 20, the original military system is no longer enough.

Even more bloated.

For example, Ding Hongguang is now a commander, but he commands an army of 20 troops!
What kind of commander is this? Whose commander has so many soldiers.

Not to mention the establishment problem, even the scheduling aspect is also a headache.

The bloated size has caused various problems in the army, and some people even don't even know who the officer in charge is.

Therefore, the restructuring of the military is imperative.

After a close discussion with the army, the new army establishment was finally released.

Originally, Yunzhou County was only a local force, and the level of military officers reaching Xiangxiang was already the limit.

But the actual situation in Yunzhou County makes this not all the limit.

Therefore, after discussion, everyone believed that the lower-level military system did not need to be changed, and only the addition of the upper-level military system and the division of the guards were sufficient.

Take a small army of 5000 people in one wing as an example, follow the example of the imperial court and use the hatchback as a large army, that is, 5 people form an army of its own.

There is a chief general, a deputy general, and a military governor who is in charge of military law.

With three generals commanding 5 people as a large army, the army was given a designation.

As far as the current situation in Yunzhou County is concerned, it must be divided into at least four armies.

On top of the army, there should be a general governor, the deputy general governor and the governor three levels to form a military hall.

Among them, the governor will always be the sole leader of His Royal Highness King Yun.

Only in the case of a large army going out for an expedition, the leader of the army will be given the title of general for the time being.

Immediately after the division of the army, the title was dismissed.

The deputy governor and the governor are the direct military officers who are in charge of the major armies on weekdays.

After that, no matter how many more armies are set up, they will all be under the control of the military hall.

In this way, the originally bloated guard army can be dismantled.

After confirming the military system, everyone discussed the number of the army. Finally, after some discussions, Zhao Jun made the decision. Now the existing army will be split up from now on.

Since then, the guard army has been divided into four armies, namely Yunhui Army, Yunyao Army, Yunting Army and Yun Xiang Army.

Afterwards, the 10 people recruited formed two separate armies, the Yunjiang Army and the Yunhe Army.

In addition, Ding Hongguang, the commander-in-chief of the current guard army, was promoted to the deputy governor of the capital, and Guan Ning was appointed as the governor of the capital to carry out the reorganization of the guard army.

Be sure to complete the training of recruits and reorganize the guards before mid-September.

So far, the two main topics of this meeting have been resolved.

After everyone discussed the details, seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Jun announced the end of the meeting.

When walking out of the conference hall, the official from the grain storage department suddenly begged to see Zhao Jun outside the conference hall.

Zhao Jun agreed after thinking about it, and asked Wang Huai'en to take him to his study.

He already had a guess in his mind why the other party came to look for him.
