The three little women, Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Dong Hui, are almost five months pregnant. As time goes by, their bellies become more and more protruding. In addition, the weather is cold, so the three of them wear more clothes.
She stood up, highlighting her round belly even more. 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 every day to go on inspection tours.
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 already the father of three children, and his whole person seemed to have changed.
It has to be a little 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 room.
Wang Can sat in the study, upright, looking at the revised military reform plan on the desk, and smiled. He had already sent someone to invite Xun You and others, and after the matter was agreed upon, he needed to implement the order.
, so Wang Can summoned all the counselors under his command, including Li Ru and Jia Xu, who were also found by Wang Can.
It was quiet in the study.
At some point, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the house.
Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu came together, with some snowflakes on their heads. After the three entered the study, they all shook off the snowflakes that fell on their bodies, rubbed their cold hands, and then bowed to Wang Can.
After bowing, he lifted up his cotton robe and sat on the seat, 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. They never made friends with other people or interacted 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 said to Wang
I admire the reforms made by Can very much, they are bold and detailed enough, and the plan provided by Wang Can is 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 soldiers under the princes have followed the general system.
Every soldier starts from an ordinary soldier and becomes a corps commander, 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 content on the paper, and then passed the information to Guo Jia. Guo Jia was very fast, and after reading it, he passed it to Jia Xu, who then passed it to Li Ru.
It took five people nearly half an hour to read all the content.
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 did not think it was inappropriate at all; Guo Jia showed admiration and responded to Wang Can's proposal
The reform plan was filled with admiration; 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 was unwavering, without any traces of it.
Change seems to be the way it should be.
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 as soon as possible."
Xun You thought for a while, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the imperial court uses hussar generals, and the generals are the generals of the army. Is it too shocking 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 'for the first', which means daring to be the first in the world. Reforming the military system is not a big deal, is it just some changes? Nowadays, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li
Meng controls the government and competes with each other for power, 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 take care of Yizhou. Your worries are not cause for concern, you should think about how to implement it!"
After Xun You heard this, he still wanted to speak.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Guo Jia shaking 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; moreover, 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 rights among the three systems?"
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 commander, company commander...all the way to the commander are called military commanders. When the two armies are fighting, the military commander will
Responsible for issuing military orders, the military political commissar's duty 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 battles,
The political commissar is responsible for everything."
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 under the jurisdiction of political commissars."
, it is impossible to be arrogant in supporting troops. My lord is wise, I admire you!"
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 they smiled.
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 the generals in the army. Perhaps when Wang Can was conquering the country, Wang Can's prestige was high enough to intimidate the generals in the army and ensure that the generals in the army were all
Loyalty to him can be difficult to guarantee, but it is difficult to guarantee the future. Only by dividing the power of the army by having political commissars and military commanders coexist can we restrain the possibility of military commanders becoming arrogant.
Wang Can said: "Since we all agree, let's prepare for reforms in the military."
After the words fell, Xun You said: "Slow down!"
Wang Can was a little confused and asked: "Gongda, why can't it be implemented 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 seals and ribbons originally used have also been lost.
To function, the current seal and ribbon 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 by later generations of the army, and placed them on the desk one by one. Starting from the privates to the largest general, 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 title 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 position arrangement of generals in the army, and I will just take it and implement it."
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 general in the army stopped at the level of division commander and could not be promoted again.
After Xun You took it, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.
Wang Can waved his hands 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.
Only with the caliber can orders be conveyed to the lower levels. I serve as the chief of general staff, and the five of you will be directly led by me."
In fact, these five people are already equivalent to Wang Can's staff.
But Wang Can made it clear and made it public.
After hearing this, the five people were very happy.
They were all Wang Can's advisers and were not very interested in the established general staff. They were delighted to see them become 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 at the newly promulgated order.
In the newly promulgated regulations, official positions and military ranks are more clear and 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.
