This time, his goal is simple, to achieve success in one step.
After the reform of the military recruitment system, the current military system of the Tang Dynasty was formulated completely in accordance with later generations.
Just like the division of military regions.
From the original capital army to the current military district system.
Longyou Road is the Longyou Military Region, Guannei Road is the Guannei Military Region, Henan Road is the Henan Military Region, Hebei Road is the Hebei Military Region, etc...
The military region includes a large-scale combat corps, which is also named after the two characters in front of Daofu.
For example, the Longyou Army Corps.
During regular operations, the Longyou Army Corps will include ten combat corps.
They are, respectively, a cavalry corps of 10,000 people, an artillery corps of 10,000 people, and infantry of 80,000 people.
In other words, during normal periods, the standing number of a legion is about 100,000.
The cavalry corps is the first corps, the artillery corps is the second corps, the infantry corps is the same, and so on.
To be more specific, a legion contains a corps, a corps contains ten formations, a formation contains ten platoons, a platoon contains ten corps, and there are ten people in a corps.
As for the lower-level officers, some of them continue the previous military system, such as the corps commander in charge of the corps and the commander in charge of the formation.
In addition, there will be added a platoon leader in charge of hundreds of people, a corps commander in charge of a corps, and even a higher-level corps commander.
And in addition to these officers, each officer will be equipped with a deputy.
In normal times, the deputy's tasks are the same as those of ordinary soldiers, except that they need to help the forehand with miscellaneous tasks.
As I said just now, this is a matter of regular time.
Once the war begins, all indicators will become elastic.
For example, Datang is about to start a war now, and this war will be fought by the Longyou Army.
However, the manpower to be dispatched this time is 200,000, but the Longyou Army currently only has 100,000 people.
In this way flexibility appears, The imperial court will issue an order to recruit local troops to join the army and fight together with the regular army.
In this way, the original army of 100,000 people will suddenly increase to 200,000.
Deputies who were once in the army will also enter the local army echelon as soon as possible and become the commander-in-chief of the local army.
This is also Li Chengqian's requirement for all armies. While training local armies, he must also train deputies...
In the early morning, Li Chengqian brought all this to the table and told everyone.
In this regard, the courtiers also discussed it a lot.
While they were novel about this idea, they also inevitably felt that this idea was a bit too whimsical.
Even Li Chengqian's teacher Li Ji couldn't help but stand up and said: "Your Highness, whether it is training local troops or training deputies, these are all good things."
"But Your Highness, haven't you ever thought about the issue of coordinated command?"
"Among the two armies, one side is bound to stand up and dominate the entire battle."
"Who took command of these two parties in the end? Was it the local army, the regular army, or someone sent by the imperial court?"
"Secondly, there is one thing that seems inconspicuous, but is actually very important."
"Wouldn't the local army feel that there is a gap because they are a local army and the other is a regular army, and there will be mutual suspicion on the battlefield?"
Although these words may sound a bit like pouring cold water on people, they are actually the problems we are facing at the moment.
One is whether they can unite and fight together, and whether there will be a situation where two independent teams appear after an order is issued.
The second and most important thing is whether the local army, as a local army, will feel a sense of disparity in their hearts because of this name.
Li Chengqian explained this in this way.
He said: "I think the teacher didn't understand my concepts and ideas."
"Whether it is a local army or a regular army, they are our army of the Tang Dynasty."
"The local army is not a reserve force in the broad sense. They are the ones responsible for city defense and security and garrisoning the city on weekdays."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Only then did they realize that the local army Li Chengqian was talking about was the soldiers who defended the city.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Chengqian just smiled slightly.
He said: "I said earlier that I would completely separate the soldiers and the people. This is by no means a joke, let alone a joke."
"From now on, the soldiers who fight against foreign enemies will be the soldiers who fight against foreign enemies."
"The soldiers who stayed behind to guard the city will also be the soldiers who stayed behind to guard the city. Although both of them are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
"But due to different functions, it is actually divided into two departments."
After hearing these words, Li Shimin finally understood something.
He looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "When you go back later, you can record everything you said today and submit it to the Ministry of War."
"Report to Father."
"I submitted the specific charter of the reform to the Ministry of War yesterday."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "I think it will take a few days for more detailed regulations to be submitted to you."
Hearing this, Li Shimin felt a little relieved.
This kid finally knows how to follow the process.
After all, it is about military reform, and it is ultimately a matter for the Ministry of War.
According to the normal procedure, Li Chengqian would first submit the report to the Ministry of War, and then the ministers of the Ministry of War would sort out the detailed report, and finally hand it over to Li Shimin.
This will save Li Shimin a lot of trouble, and also allow Li Shimin to better analyze the problem.
"In that case."
"Then I'm here There’s no problem anymore.”
After finishing his words, Li Shimin looked straight at the ministers in the room and said, "Do you have anything else you want to ask?"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but in the end no one said anything.
After all, Li Chengqian explained this matter so clearly. If they ask again, it will appear that their IQ is insufficient.
Furthermore, military reform is imperative.
Even if someone objects, it is all in vain.
"In that case, let's stop here today."
"If anyone still doesn't understand the specific regulations of this military reform, please go to the Ministry of War in private to check the report."
As he spoke, Li Shimin stood up slowly and said: "Retreat from the court!"
"I will send you to your Majesty..."
Under the gaze of all the ministers, Li Shimin slowly stood up and then walked towards the harem.
After Li Shimin left, many ministers began to retreat one by one.
When Li Chengqian walked out of Tai Chi Hall, several ministers walked directly behind him.
Among them were Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others.
Seeing these people, Li Chengqian was a little confused and said: "Uncles, is there anything else you don't understand?"
"You don't understand anything."
"I, Old Cheng, don't have time to worry about that."
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand indiscriminately, and then said: "What is the situation at Changsun's side now? Have you asked?"
He doesn't care about military reform.
After all, his identity has already been established here. No matter how he changes it, it will have nothing to do with him in the end.
Rather than military reform, he is now more worried about his old buddy Chang Sun Wuji.
You know, this guy is in a whirlpool right now.
No matter who looks at it, the Changsun family may not be able to get it back this time.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "My Uncle Cheng, can't you think of something useful?"
