Chapter 189: Four Divisions and Twelve Rooms
In addition, there are also various reforms to the armies other than the Forbidden Army.
First of all, I admit one thing, that is, there is a vacancy for Wei.
In other words, the full strength of the guard station is more than 5,600 people. Even if there are battle losses, the guard station must recruit troops from military households to reach full strength.
But in fact, almost no health centers are fully staffed. The lack of editing is just more or less.
Now there are 600,000 forbidden troops, and almost all the soldiers in the guard army who are able to fight, dare to fight, and are in the best physical condition have been mobilized.
It is also an objective fact that Wei is allowed to have vacancies. Orders were also given. The generals of the garrison must ensure that they are responsible for defending the territory, that is, the shortage of vacancies in the garrison is not their fault, but they must report the number of people truthfully and ensure that they can defend their city.
After all, the soldiers of the garrison usually live near the garrison city. Once there is a war, they don't care whether they are military households or not. Men are for fighting, women are for luck. He will also defend his city to the death.
Otherwise, you will be charged. This is not allowed to be careless.
Secondly, the management authority of the guard army was decentralized to the government level.
That is to say, the guard station must obey the orders of the local prefect. Usually it's an order to suppress bandits or put an end to chaos.
This also confirms that the Guard Army is already a secondary armed force. It also ensures local administrative capabilities, so that when the local area wants to use some armed forces, local officials need to recruit people themselves.
Of course, even if local officials have such authority, they generally will not use it. After all, cross-system command will encounter various problems, and there will be accountability afterwards, etc.
Most people wouldn't get into this trouble.
It's just the last necessary measure.
There is also the title given to Hebei Minzhuang.
After all, the 300,000 troops on the southern front do not actually have an advantage over the Southern Army. If they still have to defend various prefectures and counties, one point is like sprinkling pepper noodles. Ye Chen doesn't have much offensive power left at all.
Therefore, militiamen across Hebei became regular members.
It was they who determined the establishment of the Hebei militia.
Based on prefectures and counties, each county has a different establishment based on the size of its city and the number of households. There were probably more than 1,000 people and less than 5,000 people, and they were all led by generals sent from the army.
Obey the general's management of the southern expedition, and also obey the orders of local officials in various places. Of course, if there is a conflict between the two, General Zhengnan will take precedence.
If these troops are included, the army under the command of General Zhengnan exceeds 450,000. In addition, when necessary, the general who conquers the south can recruit civilians through the prefecture and county system.
Naturally, there is no army of millions. Enough to withstand the Confederate attack.
Of course. Beijing has made such a big adjustment. Nature does many things. And this adjustment won't be over for a while.
Moreover, Nanjing is also making various adjustments, so that the front line is relatively calm now, and there will be no problems for a while.
Even the empty areas in northern Henan by the Southern Army did not receive an attack from the Northern Army. Sheng Yong was given enough time to adjust and coordinate.
Six hundred thousand forbidden troops, hundreds of thousands of Hebei militiamen, hundreds of thousands of garrison troops, plus the navy, Qu Liangcai's Japanese vassal army, and the Japanese vassal armies. Beijing's total military strength exceeds 1.2 million.
Manage such a large army, supply sufficient weapons and logistics supplies, formulate military strategies, and ensure that this huge army is used by the court and not by generals at all levels. Such a huge task naturally requires a powerful agency.
Before this battle, the Privy Council was actually an empty frame. Now the Privy Council must not be a mere empty frame.
The previous Privy Council was just a joint venture between Zhu Xiongying and He Xi. After all, military matters were discussed between the two. It can be settled. The Privy Council was merely a formality.
But now this kind of decision-making can no longer satisfy military operations.
He Xi and Zhu Xiongying also established basic mutual trust. Even if they had differences in personnel matters, they had to straighten out the system.
Therefore, He Xi and Zhu Xiongying established a system of four departments and twelve chambers in the Privy Council based on the original Privy Council.
The four departments are naturally the Military Command Department, the Staff Department, the Logistics Department, and the Military Selection Department.
The Military Order Department is responsible for issuing military orders. Any orders from the Privy Council must be issued from the Military Command, especially military orders. Arguably the most important department of the Privy Council, it is stuck. It is used to check and balance the Privy Council.
After all, one cannot be too cautious militarily.
Generally speaking, the Military Command Department does not have many things to do. It is just to archive all military orders and review the orders of the Privy Council. If the orders do not meet the requirements, you can request to convene a meeting to discuss again. Of course, generally speaking, when a relatively important order is issued, the military commander must be present to attend the meeting.
The Staff Department is tasked with connecting the staff officers of the following armies. The staff system is relatively independent. It is also one of the means to check and balance the military commanders. There is a direct link between the staff officer and the staff department below.
After all, in today's military system, once there is any change among the generals below, they are determined not to hide it from their own staff officers.
And it is also rich in the task of formulating major military plans.
Needless to say, the Logistics Department. Responsible for logistics.
As for the Wu Xuan Department, it is actually the staff department of the Privy Council. Responsible for personnel issues. The appointment of generals at all levels is negotiated by the Military Selection Department. Even some personnel appointments between civil and military personnel must be discussed with the Privy Council. The people who contacted him were the people from the Martial Arts Department.
The twelve rooms refer to the subordinates of the fourth division. However, many offices are directly connected to several departments and are not considered subordinates of a certain department.
The first is the military intelligence room.
In charge of the military situation in various places, not only part of the Jinyiwei's responsibilities are assigned, but also the production of military maps. Guard against espionage missions in the military. Of course, there is also the task of preventing rebellion in the military, but this matter is difficult to talk about directly.
The Military Law Office is responsible for military law. Directly communicate with military judges at all levels below and organize trials of criminal officers. and review of all cases previously dealt with by military law.
Unless in wartime, generals have no authority to directly impose military law on junior officers. Even in wartime, after military law disposal, it must be archived. The military court will review it.
The Military Industry Factory is directly responsible for the military industry and directly manages certain factories. Or establish contact with certain factories that produce ordnance, and if necessary, force them to produce the materials needed by the army.
The military storage room is the one who manages the warehouse. Including but not limited to ordnance, war horses, food, clothing, coal, etc. All military supplies are included in it and are responsible for certain transportation tasks.
Generally speaking, when the military warehouse receives an order from the Logistics Department, it will order a certain military unit to go to a certain warehouse to collect supplies. However, transporting from various places to warehouses can certainly be done by civilians, and a baggage team of a certain army can also be recruited to take on the transportation task.
But overall inconvenient. Therefore, under the military storage room, there is a special transportation army.
By the way, the Military Storage House also interfaces with the Ministry of Transportation and is responsible for military transportation issues.
It is one of the departments that has the closest relationship with the logistics department.
The training room was proposed by He Xi against all opinions. It’s about standardizing training. Formulate an infantry drill code so that all armies have the same standards, and they can constantly improve and keep pace with the times.
Of course, this is more of an infantry room than a training room, for a simple reason.
If one room is responsible for all military training, this room can be promoted directly to the department. Perhaps it can be said that the Military Training Department.
However, due to the need for power checks and balances, the generals of the legion camps below do not want to have a huge military training department to point fingers at them. After all, it is okay to fight now. If there is no war anymore, training will be an important task for the generals below.
Therefore, under the suggestions of these people, the Military Training Department was not established, and the training of various arms was assigned to each room.
Cavalry rooms, artillery rooms, and naval rooms are all products of this situation. However, they are also responsible for some affairs of each branch of the military, not just training.
The cavalry room, as a specialized branch of the army, the cavalry has many things to deal with, especially the problem of horses, which is not too much. The cavalry room is not so much about cavalry.
The barracks is better said to be a military stable. Many things here are related to the management of horses.
Artillery room, same as cavalry room. The artillery room is a department specifically responsible for artillery. The artillery room is mainly responsible for two parts, one is the development of cannons, and the other is the training of artillery talents.
