Chapter 538: Military Reform


Autumn passes and is replaced by white snow.

It’s November, winter has already begun.

Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Dong Hui are almost five months pregnant.

As time goes by, their bellies become more and more bulging.

Coupled with the cold weather, the three of them wore more clothes, which highlighted their round bellies.

Among the three girls, Diao Chan had the biggest belly.

She looked like she was pregnant with twins, which made Cai Yan and Dong Hui envious.

Although Wang Can is busy, he still takes some time to go on inspection tours every day.

As the three little lives gradually grew up, Wang Can's heart was full of expectations, waiting for the arrival of the three little lives.

Suddenly, he was the father of three children, and his whole appearance seemed to have changed.

Something has become different.

In the study, two copper basins were placed on the left and right sides of the door, with red charcoal fire burning inside.

Heat continued to radiate from the copper basin, dispelling the chill in the house.

Wang Can sat in the study, upright, looking at the revised military reform plan on the desk, and smiled.

He had already sent people to invite Xun You and others.

After the matter was agreed upon, he needed to carry out the order, so Wang Can summoned all the counselors under his command, including Li Ru and Jia Xu, who were also called by Wang Can.

It was quiet in the study.

At some point, footsteps sounded outside the house.

Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu came together, with some snowflakes on their heads.

After the three of them entered the study, they all shook off the snowflakes that had fallen on their bodies, rubbed their cold hands, bowed to Wang Can, lifted up their cotton robes, and sat on the seats, waiting for the arrival of others.

Not long after, Li Ru also rushed to the study.

Finally, Jia Xu arrived belatedly.

After Li Ru and Jia Xu came to Chengdu with Wang Can, they behaved very low-key, never making friends with other people or dealing with other officials.

Except for necessary activities, they rarely appeared in the public eye.

Wang Can glanced at the five people in the room, picked up the revised army reform plan in his hand, nodded to Xun You, and motioned for Xun You to take it and read it carefully.

Xun You stood up and took the information given by Wang Can.

He returned to his seat and read the content carefully before handing it to Cheng Yu.

Although Xun You handed the information to Cheng Yu, he kept thinking about it in his mind.

The more carefully he thought about it, the expression on his face kept changing, sometimes showing a look of joy, sometimes showing a look of solemnity.

Xun You admired the reforms made by Wang Can very much.

They were bold and detailed enough, and the plan provided by Wang Can was more rigorous than the current military rank.

However, Xun You was a little worried, because Wang Can's approach was too bold and could be called shocking.

From ancient times to the present, the officers and soldiers under the princes have followed the general system.

Every soldier starts from an ordinary soldier and becomes a corps commander, chief commander, centurion, captain, general, etc., level by level.

Although this division is not as good as the plan given by Wang Can, it is not The official rank system proposed by Wang Can was so clear and detailed, but it overturned the military system since the Qin and Han Dynasties, which is not unreasonable.

Cheng Yu quickly read the contents on the paper and passed the information to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was very fast.

After reading it, he passed it to Jia Xu, who then passed it to Li Ru.

It took the five people nearly half an hour to read all the contents.

At this moment, the expressions of the five people are different.

The expression on Xun You's face was one of excitement but a hint of worry, worried that Wang Can's reforms might be criticized by the princes; Cheng Yu looked excited and didn't think it was inappropriate at all; Guo Jia showed admiration and responded to Wang Can's proposal I am impressed by the reform plan; The expression on Li Ru's face was solemn, because he sensed the hidden energy in it, which was likely to subvert the current military system; as for the old fox Jia Xu, his expression was calm, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, as if it should be So the same.

Wang Can glanced at the five people and asked: "After you have read the plan I proposed, you can share your opinions and make any changes that need to be made so that changes can be made early."

Xun You thought for a while, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the imperial court regards the hussar generals and generals as the generals of the army.

Is it too earth-shattering for you to make reforms like this?

If you are criticized by the princes, wouldn't it be?"

Before Xun You finished speaking, Wang Can interrupted Xun You.

He waved his hand and said: "Gongda, my word is "Be the first", which means to dare to be the first in the world.

Reforming the military system is not a big deal.

Isn't it just making some changes?

Now, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Li Meng are in charge of the government.

They are competing for power and gain, so they have no time to care about what happens in Yizhou.

Besides, other princes are busy developing their power and have no energy to care about Yizhou.

It’s not a big deal.

Let’s think about how to implement it.”

After Xun You heard this, he still wanted to speak.

He was just about to speak when he saw Guo Jia shook his head and stopped persuading him.

Cheng Yu stroked his beautiful beard under his chin, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, you mentioned in the book that there is a chief of staff from the regimental level above.

This chief of staff is a system; at the same time, there is a political commissar from the regiment level above.

This is another It is a system; in addition, there are those who hold military power in the army, such as brigade commanders, division commanders, corps commanders, etc.

This is another system, how to divide the power."

After hearing this, several other people nodded and waited for Wang Can's explanation.

Does the three systems mean separation of powers?

Therefore, several people are full of expectations.

Wang Canxiao said: "In the army, there are two top leaders of the same level, namely the political commissar and the military commander.

The chief of staff is equivalent to the deputy brigade commander, deputy division commander, etc.

Its role is to provide military The commander compiles relevant war data and provides certain suggestions.

The execution of military orders must be issued by the military commander. " Li Ru asked again: "My lord, what is a military commander?"

Wang Can immediately replied without thinking: "Military commander, as the name suggests, is the person in charge of the military.

Platoon commanders, company commanders, and commanders are all called military commanders.

When two armies are at war, the military commander is in charge of military affairs."

After the order is issued, the responsibility of the political commissar in the military is to be responsible for the ideological work of the officers and soldiers, so that they can be loyal to our army, or to educate the captured prisoners to persuade them to surrender, so that the prisoners can change their minds and surrender to our army.

In addition to military combat, all tasks are carried out by The political commissar is responsible.”

After a pause, Wang Can continued: "When encountering a war, military commanders and political commissars work together to decide the phalanx strategy for combat.

When it comes to handling military affairs, the political commissar handles it, and they obey the leadership of their superiors in turn."

Jia Xu opened his slightly narrowed eyes, nodded and praised: "My lord, this is a great kindness.

Having a political commissar limits the rights of military commanders.

Although military commanders have the right to command soldiers to fight, the rights of military commanders are still subject to the jurisdiction of political commissars. , It is impossible to be arrogant in supporting troops.

I admire your lord for his wisdom."

He cupped his fists and saluted Wang Can to express his agreement.

After Guo Jia and others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared.

Wang Can looked at a few people with a smile on his face.

He had spent a lot of effort to think of all these things.

In fact, Wang Can used such reforms to control the rights of military generals.

Perhaps when Wang Can conquered the country, because Wang Can's prestige was high enough, he could intimidate the generals in the army and ensure that they were loyal to him.

However, it was difficult to guarantee the future, so the coexistence of political commissars and military commanders Separating the power of the military can curb the possibility of military commanders becoming arrogant in their military affairs.

Wang Can said: "Since we all agree, let's prepare for reforms in the military."

After the words fell, Xun You said: "Slowly" Wang Can was a little confused and asked: "Gongda, why can't you implement it yet?"

Xun You said: "My Lord, although the specific reform plan has been formulated, the titles and official positions that lieutenant generals should hold must also be revised accordingly.

Besides, the original military system has been abolished, and the original seals and ribbons have also been lost.

To function, the current seal must be modified, and these must be done in advance, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble. " Wang Can heard the words, nodded and said: "Gongda's words are reasonable, but I have already prepared."

As he spoke, Wang Can smiled.

He reached out from the side of the desk and took out the epaulettes used in the army in later generations, and placed them on the desk one by one.

Starting from the privates to the most senior generals, no one was left out.

Wang Can pointed to the epaulettes on the desk and said: "These epaulettes represent the honor of the soldiers, which is equivalent to the titles obtained by the soldiers, but they do not represent the official positions in the army.

As for the military seals, you should rush to make them immediately and engrave them.

The name is no longer general, but the official position of each general, such as brigade commander, division commander and other official positions.

Well, I have re-arranged the official positions of generals in the army and will implement them. " As he spoke, Wang Can took out another piece of Zuo Bo paper, which listed the new official positions of all military generals.

However, the highest official position is division commander, with a military rank of colonel.

In other words, the highest-ranking generals in the army still have the possibility of promotion.

This is also Wang Can's intention to do this so that he can be rewarded for his meritorious service in future wars.

Otherwise, he will appoint all commanders and army commanders as soon as he comes up, and then fight After winning the battle, Wang Can didn't know how to reward or promote him.

Therefore, the highest-ranking generals in the army stopped at the level of division commander and could not move up again.

After Xun You took it, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, there is one more thing to tell you.

The five of you form the General Staff, responsible for formulating and organizing the implementation of the war plan and mobilization plan.

The launch of all wars must be unified by the five of you. caliber, so that orders can be passed down.

I serve as the chief of general staff, and the five of you will be directly led by me.”

In fact, the five people are already equivalent to Wang Can's staff.

But Wang Can made it clear and made it public.

After the five people heard this, they were very happy.

They were all Wang Can's advisers and were not very interested in the established general staff.

They were delighted that they became Wang Can's core members.

This was what made them happy.

After receiving the order, the five people left the study happily.

Xun You and Cheng Yu cooperated, constantly drafting orders and conveying all the terms.

There was a wave of enthusiasm in the army, and they were overjoyed with the newly issued order.

In the newly promulgated regulations, official positions and military ranks are clearer and more detailed.

If soldiers want to climb up, they only need to perform meritorious service, meritorious service, and meritorious service again, and they will be able to continue to rise.

As a result, the soldiers' warlike spirit was further aroused. s: The second update of the third update.

This chapter is a bit grandiose and may not be consistent with reality.
