Chapter 872: Military Academy and New Military Ranks


After talking about government affairs, Zhao Ziliang looked at Chu Ge, Li Siye, Li Sheng, Bo Lehan, Xuan Yi, Xuan Er, Xuan Si, Chen Qing, Gong Ren, Huang Fu Xian, Wang Zhen, Wang Can, Xuan Shiba When the military general asked: "Does the military have anything to report?"

Several military generals looked at each other.

Chu Ge stood up with a memorial and clasped his fists in salute: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, under the auspices of Your Majesty, our Western Qin Dynasty began to implement a compulsory military system.

These conscripts are only responsible for local defense and serve in the army.

In three years, judging from the situation in the past few years, the compulsory military system did not cost much, but it played a role in stabilizing local areas.

The conscripts in various places are fully capable of guarding local areas without the need for The standing army guards various places.

Therefore, the general believes that our Western Qin army can be divided into a first-line army and a second-line army.

The first-line army is the standing army and is a professional service; the second-line army is a compulsory army and is a reserve army.

All retired soldiers are also there.

In the reserve service, if there is a war, they must obey the call.

In the future, the security and defense of various places can be handed over to the conscripts, while the standing army will be responsible for the attack."

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Your idea is very good.

Have you written it down in specific terms?"

"Yes, your Majesty, the last general has written a memorial.

Please have your Majesty's eye over it."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, he presented the memorial with both hands.

Zhao Ziliang waved to Zhao Lei who was standing at the bottom of the steps.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Lei immediately stepped forward to take the memorial and sent it to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang opened it and read it carefully.

While reading, he said: "Chu Ge, please give me your specific thoughts."

All generals and adults, please tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty" After Chu Ge agreed, he immediately explained: "Your Majesty, generals and lords, my idea is this.

Divide all the armies of the Western Qin Dynasty into three parts: First, the Forbidden Army.

There are currently three Forbidden Army, namely the Guards Army and the Nearby Army.

The Guards and Dragon Guards are responsible for the security of the king, the palace and the royal family.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army, both ordinary Forbidden Army soldiers, officers and generals must There are strict regulations on age, service experience, and length of service.

When you reach the age, you must retire or return to the original army.

All soldiers, generals and officers of the Forbidden Army are selected and transferred from the standing army, and they must receive strict ideological education and edification.

In addition, half of the Forbidden Army, whether it is the Guards, Guards or Dragon Guards, must conduct drills every day to maintain combat capabilities.

Second, it is the standing army.

Our army previously had nine legions of standing armies and a scout army, the Huya Army, with a total of 128,000 people.

After fighting the Khazar War, the king used 10,000 surrendered Khazars to form a slave army.

General Zhao Hu served We ordered to form and train a naval force of 12,000 men on the east coast of the Caspian Sea.

Therefore, we now have ten legions, a scout corps, and a naval army, a total of 150,000 people, dedicated to conquering foreign countries.

To conquer unruly ministers, there is more than enough and ready supplies.

The legions of the army are stationed in various places for training in peacetime, and are called out during war.

The station can be changed at any time, or stationed in border areas where the situation is slightly tense, or transferred to sparsely populated areas for training, or transferred to Hengluosi to participate in the review of the standing army.

Some of the sources of troops were recruited from various places in the Western Qin Dynasty: strong people who can ride, shoot, and have martial arts skills, and some were recruited from compulsory soldiers who were facing retirement; in the future, officers and generals must be well-educated, literate, and able to write and do math. .

Third, it is the reserve army.

The reserve army includes active and retired volunteer soldiers and professional army soldiers.

The currently serving volunteer army is responsible for the local security defense of local counties, states and the governorate.

Generally speaking, a county cannot be less than The obligation of a thousand men in a camp In order to prevent local officials from colluding with the volunteer army, all generals, officers and soldiers must be from other places.

For example, soldiers, generals or officers who were born within the Yuezhi Protectorate cannot be in the Yuezhi Protectorate.

He served in the government's jurisdiction and joined the army.

We now have a total of 180,000 volunteers serving in Western Qin.

This large number of troops is enough to guard local security.

In addition to the 40,000 retired professional military officers and soldiers, there will be a total of 220,000 reserve troops.

Starting next year, there will be nearly 3 One-third of the conscripts have retired, and those who have served are still There are about 120,000 people.

If there is a large-scale war between our Western Qin and other surrounding countries, if the strength of the standing army is insufficient, the reserve army must be used.

The reserve army will first be recruited from the volunteer army who are serving, then the retired professional army, and finally He is a retired volunteer soldier In order to reduce the financial pressure on the royal court as much as possible, the reserve army must also try to reduce military expenditures.

The current annual living allowance for each conscript is three thousand yuan, which will remain unchanged for the time being.

In addition to military uniforms, quilts, shoes and socks, the equipment used by the reserve army uses weapons, armor, and bows and crossbows that have been eliminated by the standing army.

Try to control the military expenditure of the reserve army within two million dollars per year.

There is a forbidden army, a standing army, and a reserve army.

If they hold various different functions respectively, then our Western Qin will not have a military strength pattern that emphasizes internal and external emphasis.

Even if we There were rebellions and rebellions within the Western Qin Dynasty, and the volunteer army was enough to quell the rebellion.

Although the imperial court in the Central Plains also had government troops to guard the local areas, the government troops only had names but no actual soldiers.

The troops started to rise and reached Luoyang in just one month.

However, as long as the compulsory military system is not abolished in Western Qin, this situation will not happen."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, Zhao Ziliang looked at the military generals and said, "What do you think of General Chu?

You all should think about it carefully when you go back.

If you have different opinions or need to add something, you can write a statement and submit it to My king, take a look, this one The matter will be discussed at the first court meeting after the Spring Festival.

However, there is one thing General Chu said that I strongly agree with.

In the future, generals and officers must read books, be able to read, read and write, and be able to write and count.

The Military Aircraft Academy must also write a special document to all military departments and departments, instructing Officers and generals who are illiterate, cannot write, and cannot count must start learning immediately, or they can ask others to teach them.

In short, they must get rid of their status as illiterate.

From then on, generals, colonels, and military officers must be assessed every year.

For those who fail to pass , suspend military service first, wait until passing the examination Later, he was reinstated.

In addition, I decided to build the Western Qin Military Academy, with me personally serving as the dean.

This academy specializes in training officers, colonels and generals.

From now on, all officers, colonels and generals of our Western Qin Army will learn from this academy.

Graduated from the military academy by studying "This", both the generals and officials began to discuss.

If such a military academy is really built, then those who can serve as professors in this academy must not be ordinary people, especially the gentlemen who want to be generals. , I'm afraid this person's status is not low.

When others say that so-and-so's students are all generals, this kind of reputation is too powerful.

At this time, Li Sheng stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, according to your Majesty's statement, if the officers, colonels and generals of our army all graduate from this academy in the future, wouldn't it mean that ordinary soldiers will never get ahead?"

Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course not.

Ordinary soldiers can apply for the officer class of the Military Academy through their own efforts.

Ordinary soldiers who can apply must meet the necessary conditions: first, perform well in the military; second, having military merit is like being in peace.

There is no battle to fight during the period, so you must have meritorious service; third, a clean family background; fourth, you must be literate, able to read, write and do math."

"The Military Academy has only three classes, namely the general class, the field officer class and the officer class.

There is no need for mediocrity here, only the elite, because the responsibility of those who study here is the lives of all their subordinates and the territory of Western Qin.

Safety, therefore, mediocrity and idiots will not appear in this academy.

This military academy will not limit family origin.

Even if he comes from an ordinary people's family, or even a slave family, as long as he has the ability to enter this academy, He can go in and learn from the officers' class.

Some of the sources are military sergeants with outstanding performance; another part is recruited from the private sector; and another part is recommended by generals at the level of generals in the military.

The school officer class and the general officer class do not require examinations.

All students come from the military, and the school Official class students need Recommended by my superior general, only I can decide the number of students in the general officer class.

What kind of people can enter the school officer class and the general officer class?

Officers are about to be promoted to school officers, school officers are about to be promoted to general officers, and general officers.

Only those who are promoted can enter these two classes.”

Zhao Ziliang paused for a moment and took a sip of water before continuing: "Speaking of officers, colonels and generals, I have recently been thinking about changing the military rank system in Western Qin.

The military rank system in the Central Plains court is too It’s too complicated and has too many names, which makes it difficult to remember.

After a period of consideration, I have already made a preliminary idea.”

"First of all, the whole army is divided into five levels: the first level, marshal.

Currently, only my king's military rank is marshal.

The second level is marshal.

The general level is divided into three levels.

From high to low, they are general, lieutenant general and major general. , only generals have titles, such as General Zhennan, General Zhenbei, General Zhengbei, etc.; The third level is the colonel level, which is senior colonel, lieutenant colonel and major; the fourth level is lieutenant level, which is captain, lieutenant and second lieutenant respectively; the fifth level is non-commissioned officer level, which is sergeant major, staff sergeant and lieutenant respectively.

All new recruits are private soldiers.

After serving for one year, they are automatically promoted to corporal and sergeant.

They usually serve as deputy officers.

Commander, the sergeant serves as the commander, the sergeant major serves as the team officer, the second lieutenant serves as the deputy commander; the lieutenant or captain serves as the commander, the captain or major serves as the deputy brigade commander, the lieutenant colonel serves as the brigade commander or deputy lieutenant, A senior colonel serves as a battalion officer or deputy general; a major general serves as a department general, and a lieutenant general or senior general serves as the commander of the corresponding army.

The rank shall hold the corresponding military position.

Unless there are special circumstances, appointments beyond the rank shall not be made until a specific plan is announced.

Generally speaking, it will not change too much.

Once the new military rank system is promulgated, then you and the generals and officers in the military will All military ranks will be automatically converted to the corresponding new military ranks":
