Chi Yuping couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he left the Henan government office. He had been drinking every day for the past few days, for fear of being scolded by Wang Xiaolie, but he didn't expect that he was just asking for his opinion on the cavalry. Now Wang Xiaolie's army is naturally centered on artillery, and large-scale cavalry is really not suitable.
Returning to his residence, the soldier said: "Zhang Tongzhi left a message, saying that the right army Dai Tongzhi would like to invite you for a drink today, and asked Tongzhi not to forget it."
Chi Yuping shook his head: "I just came back from meeting Jieshuai, how can I go drink? Alas, it's a bit too much for everyone to take turns to invite drinks these days."
The soldier said: "If the commander doesn't want to do something like this, he should go and say it himself. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to do it."
Chi Yuping sighed and had no choice but to go out to Fengze Tower.
The boy led Chi Yuping to the second floor and saw several commanders of the Chinese army already sitting in the pavilion.
Seeing Chi Yuping coming, Shi Rong, the commander of the rear army, said: "Chi Tongzhi is late, please drink three apology drinks first!"
Chi Yuping said: "Brother, just now I went to see the Commander-in-Chief, what can I ask you to do? We have been drinking every day these days, which is a bit excessive. If you don't restrain yourself, be careful of being scolded by the Commander-in-Chief. After the victory, we sang happily every day, you guys Can you see that Jieshuai is so handsome?"
After everyone heard this, they didn't dare to speak anymore.
Chi Yuping sat down and Zhang Chi asked in a low voice: "Brother went to see Commander Ji, what's the matter?"
Chi Yuping said: "It's not a big deal. A lot of horses were captured in this battle, and Commander Ji asked me for my opinion on establishing cavalry."
Zhang Chi nodded and said nothing.
Ge Ding, commander of the engineering corps, said: "Zhang Tongzhi made the greatest contribution in this battle. He will be promoted after the war. I just don't know where he will be promoted."
Former military commander Zhang Zhen laughed and scolded Ge Ding: "You said Zhang, I thought you were talking about me. After thinking about it, I don't seem to have any great achievements. Zhang Chi is the deputy commander of the Chinese Army, although his status is higher than that of us. If it’s higher, you can’t go with that subtitle!”
Ge Ding nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's my fault. But to what position does Deputy Commander Zhang want to be promoted?"
Artillery commander Song Yan said: "This kind of matter depends on how the commander arranges it. How can we make random guesses? By the way, what are you drinking today?"
Chi Yuping waved his hand: "I was drunk last night and went to see Jieshuai today, and now my heart is still pounding. We should also restrain ourselves and stop drinking. Let the store serve a pot of good tea and replace the wine with tea! "
Dai Yuchang, who was entertaining the guests, waved his hands hurriedly: "If you don't want to drink, you have to wait until I finish the invitation! This is a great victory, so it's time to celebrate!"
Several people said yes together and ignored Chi Yuping at all.
In the Henan government office, Wang Xiaolie, Li Yanxian, Wang Ruohai, Niu Gao and Shao Ling sat together and discussed the next arrangements.
Wang Xiaolie said: "More than 40,000 war horses were captured in this battle. I estimate that there should be some that are not suitable and need to be sorted out. In the end, there should be close to 40,000 horses. Over the years, our army has been short of The war horses were completed at once this time. Once we have the war horses, we need to establish cavalry. After much thought, I decided that it is better not to have an independent cavalry unit, but to have it under each division. Specifically, each division has a direct cavalry unit. Expanding the battalion into a cavalry regiment will be of great benefit to improving combat effectiveness."
Li Yanxian said: "If this is the case, wouldn't each division be no different from the Chinese army?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "There is no difference in the first place. There are many soldiers in the Chinese army because some of our directly-administered troops are in it. In the future, each division will also have a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, a baggage corps, and even an engineering corps. Of course. , some units directly under the military’s jurisdiction still have to be placed within the Chinese Army.”
Wang Ruohai said: "The Chinese Army is actually together with the headquarters. In addition to the organization of a complete division, there are also troops directly under the army. This is the significance of Li Dutong not only managing the Chinese Army, but also promoting the affairs of a line. .Commander Jie’s positioning of the division is to be able to independently carry out tasks in a campaign direction, so it needs to be expanded.”
Li Yanxian said: "So it's because I didn't understand it well."
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "The division of army, division and regiment is not based on the number of people. Generally speaking, the army is responsible for a strategic direction, the division is responsible for the operational direction, and the regiment is responsible for the tactical direction. Strategic direction, operational direction and We are also slowly exploring the division of tactical directions. In the process of exploration, the organization will naturally change. In the past, when we were in Dengzhou, to be honest, we were still a little poor, and the army organization was a little more petty. After this great victory , I have a lot more money in my hands and a lot more war materials, so I naturally have to be more generous in doing things."
After hearing this, the others laughed together.
Wang Xiaolie also laughed. Said: "We used to have one army, but now that we have so much territory, one army is a bit small. My idea is to expand another army. One of the officers will rely on the military academy, and the other will be drawn from the current army. Now that we have a ready-made officers, the expansion of the army is very fast. One army is responsible for Hebei Road, and another army is responsible for Hedong Road. In addition, Jiang Min's army in Shenshan needs to supplement officers, and soldiers are recruited from Hedong Road to expand into a division. scale."
Li Yanxian said: "With such a big expansion at once, I'm afraid there won't be enough officers, right?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "I have ordered Liu Shao to go north first and build another military academy near Luoyang. Also, in this war, many outstanding officers and soldiers appeared. We must organize them to study again and select some officers. In short , No matter what rank the officers are, no matter where they come from, they must enter the military academy for unified learning. Make sure that the officers are familiar with our army and can truly command the army."
Li Yanxian nodded: "This is what it should be."
Wang Ruohai said: "The new army will be based in the Yinluo Valley in Shouan, Yongning, Yinyang and other counties for centralized training. By the way, let's discuss where the military academies coming from the north will be located. "Shuai means that it should be near Luoyang, but still some distance away from the prosperous place."
Niu Gao said: "There are two most suitable places for such a request. Either in Shou'an or in Yinque."
Wang Xiaolie said: "Yes, I think so too. Although Yinque has a ready-made city, there is still a gap between Yinque and Luoyang due to Longmen. My opinion is that it is located in Shouan. The location is suitable and it is not far away from Luoyang." Far."
The others thought for a while and all expressed their agreement.
Wang Xiaolie said: "In the next time, there will be a lot of things for the army to expand the army and build a new military academy. It is also difficult to rebuild Luoyang City locally. Chen Zaidao will come to Luoyang in a few days, and Xiangyang will have to be left in charge of others. Our focus must slowly shift from Xiangyang to Luoyang."
Wang Ruohai said: "Luoyang is located in the world. It is a thousand-year-old city, and it is not comparable to Xiangyang. After rebuilding this ancient city, we will have a different look."
"First Evolution"
Li Yanxian said: "Yes, rebuilding Luoyang City is such a big deal! Not only for us, but also for the world!"
Niu Gao said: "The city of Luoyang has been rebuilt. I wonder if the officials will intend to return to the north. If the trip is in Luoyang, it will have a different meaning for the Jin army."
Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "We don't have to guess what the officials want. The ministers of the court will do it. We just need to guard this place with peace of mind and build it like a flower. It will live up to the world."
Wang Xiaolie knew in his heart that he was not familiar with Zhao Gou, so how could he dare to move Xingzai here? There are Wang Xiaolie's troops all around. Doesn't he leave his life and death to Wang Xiaolie? With Zhao Gou's character, how could he do such a thing?
