Chapter 198 The first major reorganization
"I took the time to study several new laws of the military government during this period. They can indeed greatly improve the quality of life of ordinary people and greatly improve the productivity of the military government. However, they have forced the already wealthy class to oppose us. .”

Li Gang replied in a very formal manner. He must have thought deeply about this issue these days:

"Kaifeng is located in the center of the Central Plains, surrounded by the Song Dynasty's homeland. If the New Deal is implemented, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the surrounding state governments. It will inevitably arouse public outrage and be attacked by groups. Are you prepared, Commander?"

"I'm ready." Chen Xun replied: "Kaifeng was severely damaged by the Jin people. It was a disaster for the local rich, but for our military government, it happened to be painting on white paper. It was a rare opportunity. , otherwise when the rich react, the resistance to the implementation of the New Deal will inevitably increase."

"Now that you have made your decision, I will definitely do my best." Li Gang accepted the hard task.

"Okay, I will give you one thousand for the two thousand officials who came from Guangzhou this time. Combined with the current officials in Kaifeng, we are recruiting some novices. How long do you think it will take to complete the initial implementation of the New Deal?" Chen Xun asked.

"Officials alone are not enough, I also need an army." Li Gang said.

"Okay, let Sun Zheng stay to cooperate with you. I will leave him veterans of the two armies (5000 people), recruits of the Sixth Army (5000 people), and 2 horses. With these [-] people, there should be no one in Kaifeng. Able to resist." Chen Xun continued the arrangements.

"It's enough, give me three months, and I will try to complete the implementation of the New Deal before the autumn harvest." Li Gang gave himself some leeway.

"Okay, just three months. I'll be waiting for the good news from my husband in Xuzhou." Chen Xun replied.

"Captain, are you leaving Kaifeng?" Ke Lei asked.

"Yes, Kaifeng is too inland and cannot fully utilize the advantages of our Chen Jiajun. I plan to return to Xuzhou and attack the prefectures along the lower reaches of the Yellow River through Xuzhou, and then go north to attack Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road to control the boundaries of Chen Jiajun Connect with the Kingdom of Jin." Chen Xun replied: "We can't just defend, we also need to attack. When the passage is opened, I will send troops into the Kingdom of Jin. I don't want to conquer the city, but just harass him and make him uneasy, and he will be able to help us. Maximize development time.”

In this development plan, Chen Xun never included Zhao Gou among his serious enemies from beginning to end, but this did not mean that Chen Xun did not value him. .

There is a saying in later generations: "Strategically, despise the enemy, and tactically, attach importance to the enemy."

Chen Xun did not pay attention to Zhao Gou strategically because the Zhao Gou court had one of the most fatal flaws, and that was Zhao Gou himself.

With Chen Xun's current strength, he could single-handedly rush in front of Zhao Gou at any time and hang his head.

And the new imperial court, which is gathered together with Zhao Gou as the link, will immediately become a piece of scattered sand without Zhao Gou.

At this point, the Kingdom of Jin is much better than the new court of the Kingdom of Song. The previous generation and the current generation of the Wanyan family can really be said to be full of talents, and in addition to the Wanyan family, the Kingdom of Jin also has some other equally outstanding families.

Unless Chen Xun assassinates all these people, the Kingdom of Jin will still be able to stand there.

In contrast, in this regard, the military government does not have as deep a foundation as the Jin Kingdom.

Without Chen Xun, the military government would inevitably fall apart. Fortunately, Chen Xun's personal force was strong and he was not afraid of assassination.

In the next ten days, Chen Xun and others were extremely busy.

First, there was a major reorganization of the army. The first wave of Chen Xun's troops who followed Chen Xun north from Guangzhou, and later the [-] recruits who were initially trained in Xuzhou, and the large number of northern Han people and King Qin's troops who were captured in Kaifeng, and those who came to Kaifeng to join the Chen family's army. Rebels from all walks of life or lone heroes.

Among other things, the total strength of the Chen family's army in Hebei, including the sailors under Ke Lei, has exceeded 15. This is a very huge number.After more than ten days of screening and preliminary training, this number was finally reduced to 12, which was organized into twelve new armies by Chen Xun.

The new organization set up by Chen Xun drew on later generations' simple understanding of the military organization system, and combined the actual situation of Chen's army with the current needs of the army's firepower and array operations.

The smallest combat unit is a team. A team consists of ten people and includes two corps. The corps leader is equivalent to the deputy squad leader.

Above the team is the capital, with a hundred people in each capital, who can form the smallest square formation to fight independently. This formation will also become the most commonly used unit dispatched by the Chen family army in the future.

Among the hundred people in the capital, there are about 80 pure combat units, and the rest are military officials and miscellaneous personnel.For example, there are auxiliary combat units such as military doctors, cooks, equipment, and communications, as well as command and management combat units such as military officials, staff officers, and instructors.

Above the capital is the battalion. One battalion has nine combat units and ten battalions directly under the battalion. The directly under the battalion has logistics teams, reconnaissance teams, medical teams and other auxiliary combat units, plus some deputies, the number is about 1000 people.

Above the battalion is the army. The first army has eight battalions, a reinforced artillery battalion, and five to ten directly-affiliated capitals. The direct-affiliated capitals have reconnaissance capitals, military intelligence capitals, engineer capitals, craftsmen capitals, guard capitals, supervisory capitals, teaching capitals, and other auxiliary operations. The number of units, plus some deputies and staff officers, is around 1.

At the military level, the number of people has exceeded the division level establishment in later generations.

Above the army is the group army. The group army is not permanent. It is temporarily established according to combat needs and temporarily assigns a commander-in-chief.

After the new reorganization, the officers of each establishment no longer inherited the titles of the Song Dynasty, but were changed to simple and direct titles such as captain, captain, battalion commander, army commander, etc.

If it is a deputy position, add the word "sub" before the title, which is simple and clear.

In order to flatten and expand the establishment without causing confusion in management and command, Chen Xun set up a number of deputies at the capital, battalion and army levels. These deputies usually lead two to five lower-level units according to their respective abilities. All operations are under the unified command of superiors.

At the same time, two or three deputy positions will be set up to support the main positions. For example, the chief of staff at the military level is the deputy military level. There are also deputy military commanders who are responsible for logistics, and deputy military commanders who are responsible for teaching and military discipline.

The same goes for battalion level.

At the capital level, the deputy capital head responsible for combat operations will be assigned a part-time job.

Officers with general military rank (including deputy ranks) can be called generals, because Chen Xun also implemented a new military rank system that was different from the Song Dynasty during the general reorganization.

In terms of the military rank system, Chen Xun directly copied the standards of later generations.

The soldier class is divided into recruits, third-class privates, second-class privates, first-class privates, sixth-class non-commissioned officers to first-class non-commissioned officers and tenth class.

The non-commissioned officer class was established to provide a path for advancement for soldiers who have no commanding talents but are particularly outstanding in personal skills.

The promotion of the non-commissioned officer class not only represents the improvement of honor and privileges, but also represents the improvement of the salary. When reaching the first-class non-commissioned officer, the salary will not be lower than that of the school-level officer.
