Chapter 539 The new official position after the reform
Dongting Lake is located between Changsha County, Wuling County, and Jiangxia County. To the west and north is Liu Biao's power, to the south is Sun Jian's strength, and to the east is Liu Yao's strength. However, one of the eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake is
Around the island, there were actually warships docked one after another, including sterns, warships, tower ships and other types of warships. There were more than 40 large and small warships.
The north, west and east sides of the island have high terrain and are steep and rugged, while only the south side has low terrain.
If you want to board the island, you can only enter from the south.
The Jinfan Navy led by Gan Ning was stationed here, and the area of a hundred miles around the island was the territory of the Jinfan Navy.
After nearly a year, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin have trained the navy to become more powerful. Although the number of soldiers is still more than 5,000 and the number has not increased, these navy soldiers are all Gan Ning and
Zhou Tai personally trained elite soldiers who were not only good at fighting on land, but also athletes on the water. They were quite powerful.
On a small island, an empty area.
A huge camp rose from the ground, with the two characters "Jinfan" written on the camp.
On the archery tower of the camp, there is a large black flag. The cold wind blows, and the big flag flutters in the air with a hunting sound. This big flag is the flag that Wang Can awarded to Gan Ning's Jinfan Army. Gan Ning
After carrying the big flag back to the camp, it was placed on the archery tower to show that Wang Can valued the navy.
In the hall, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin sat opposite each other.
After Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin joined, the affairs in the army were not decided by Gan Ning alone, but the three of them discussed and decided.
Zhou Tai sat cross-legged and said in a deep voice: "Old Gan, not long ago Sun Jian sent an envoy to the island again, trying to recruit our navy to surrender. This guy keeps sending people here every now and then, which is really annoying. If he sends an envoy again next time
, let’s just throw Sun Jian’s envoy into the cauldron and cook it, and see if he still dares to send people here? Huh, his navy can’t defeat us, so he wants to surrender, how can there be such a good thing.”
Hearing this, Gan Ning shook his head and said: "No, we have to continue to fight against the snake's tail. We can't ruin the Lord's important event just because of impulse. Besides, there is Liu Biao in the north to restrain Sun Jian, and he does not dare to use a large number of troops. We will station troops at Dongting Lake and continue
Training troops, building warships, and increasing strength is the right thing to do."
Jiang Qin thought for a while and said: "General, it has already entered winter, and there is insufficient food on the island. Do you want to send someone back to Yizhou to transport some food from Yizhou? Otherwise, if there is no food on the island, you need to send a ship out to rob it."
We have plundered. There are too many soldiers in our army, and plundering some small places is no longer effective. Only by attacking large cities can we ensure continuous food and grass."
Gan Ning thought for a while and said: "Yizhou has flourished under the rule of my lord and has accumulated countless grains. We will send three warships back to Yizhou to transport some grains back."
Last winter, when Wang Can attacked Liu Yan, Gan Ning had only three warships under his command.
But a year later, there were already five large warships, ten medium-sized warships, and thirty small warships. Compared with last year, the number of warships had almost doubled. This was very important to Gan Ning.
In terms of the naval force under his command, it has to be said that it is a quite powerful number, which shows that Gan Ning and others have worked hard.
"Report!"
While the three of them were discussing matters, there were rapid footsteps outside the hall.
A soldier ran in quickly. After entering the hall, the soldier knelt on one knee with a bang, clasped his fists and said, "General, the Yizhou envoy has arrived and is waiting outside the camp."
After Gan Ning heard this, he quickly got up.
He, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other, led the people out of the camp, and welcomed the Yizhou envoy into the hall.
The two sides were polite, and the envoy from Yizhou took care of the task of the trip. The envoy from Yizhou took out a letter and handed it to Gan Ning, and gave Gan Ning three seals and ribbons, namely Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang.
After Qin's mission was completed, the Yizhou envoy refused Gan Ning's invitation to stay, left the island directly, and returned to Yizhou with his entourage.
Gan Ning sent someone to see off the envoy, then opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter carefully.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
He looked at the contents of the letter with a look of joy on his face and his breathing became rapid.
Gan Ning clenched his fist, punched the desk, and shouted: "Okay, okay, great." He grinned and happily handed the envelope in his hand to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.
, let the two of them watch. He reached out and took out the seal ribbon that belonged to him, looked at it carefully and stroked it, with a cheerful look on his face.
After Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin read the contents of the letter, they stood up and said, "Congratulations, general!"
After hearing this, Gan Ning smiled and joked: "You still want to call me general?"
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other and smiled: "Congratulations, sir!"
In Wang Can's letter, Gan Ning's official position was changed from general to division commander, and his military rank was colonel. He commanded the Yizhou navy and became the legitimate navy commander in Wang Can's army.
As for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, their official positions were brigade commanders, their military ranks were both majors, and their positions were lower than Gan Ning's.
According to the normal establishment, Gan Ning's 5,000-strong navy also needed to be equipped with a chief of staff and a political commissar to be complete. However, when the navy was first established, Wang Can did not have so many talents under his command, so Gan Ning directly commanded the navy. In this way
The situation can only be implemented in a short period of time and will definitely change in the future.
After Gan Ning was appointed, he was extremely excited.
The reason is, on the one hand, because he was appointed as a colonel division commander to command the navy, and on the other hand, because Wang Can only has two division commanders under his command. Apart from him, the navy division commander, only Zhao Yun is the division commander. In other words, the rest of Yizhou
The generals' official positions were lower than his, which was why Gan Ning was most excited.
After he was happy, Gan Ning said again: "The naval army was first established, but it is still far from the goal set by the lord. Especially the number of people in the navy can only reach the establishment of a brigade, which is still far from a division.
.”
In the letter, Wang Can told Gan Ning all the arrangements.
After the reform of the military system, each level of soldiers in the army has a rough number limit. For example, a platoon has 20 to 30 people, a company has about 100 people, a battalion has about 300 people, a regiment has about 1,000 people, and a regiment has about 1,000 people.
The strength of a brigade is 3,000 to 5,000, and the strength of a division is 10,000 to 15,000...
The number of soldiers at each level is allowed to vary depending on the actual situation. However, Gan Ning led a division with only 5,000 soldiers, which was indeed too few.
Hearing this, Jiang Qin shook his head and said: "Commander, the food that can be supplied in the granary allows us to keep the number of soldiers under our command at only about five thousand. Although the number of warships can continue to increase, the number of soldiers cannot continue to increase. Once the number of people exceeds the bottom line,
We can't stay on the island, we can only send troops to attack the city in order to develop more soldiers."
Zhou Tai became the brigade commander, and he was very happy. He clenched his fists and waved his hand, saying: "Let's just take one city, and then we can continue to develop."
Hearing this, Gan Ning shook his head and said: "No, if we send troops directly, it would be too publicity. Although we have the strength and the ability to attack the city and take out the stronghold, now is not the time to send troops. We must wait for the lord's troops to leave Jingzhou before we can show off our power."
At that time, since it was impossible to increase the number of soldiers, we suppressed the number of soldiers to about five thousand. However, the soldiers must continue to train so that one of the five thousand soldiers can equal ten and become the best of the best."
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin nodded, looking excited and full of energy. Last year, they were still Jiujiang thieves, but now they have become generals, which is incredible.
…
When Gan Ning's appointment was issued, the appointments of all generals under Wang Can were also conveyed through Cheng Yu.
Zhao Yun was the first to receive the appointment and became the only colonel and division commander in Yizhou.
Immediately after Zhao Yun's appointment was issued, the appointments of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were also passed on, and the two became lieutenant colonels and brigade commanders. Although Pei Yuanshao complained about this, he could only accept it, because strength is always respected in the army.
, if you are not strong in ability and have low martial arts skills, you can only be suppressed by others.
With the abilities of the two of them, Wang Can took special care of them to be able to serve as lieutenant colonel and brigade commander.
Xu Rong was appointed lieutenant colonel and brigade commander. His official position was neither high nor low, but he was in the middle.
Yan Yan was training soldiers when he received the appointment.
His official position was not low, and he was appointed as a major brigade commander.
Yan Yan was very happy about this, because it had not been long since he had surrendered to Wang Can and he had become a brigade commander. This was already a very preferential treatment. However, when Yan Yan learned about Huang Zhong's appointment, he was quite dissatisfied.
, because Huang Zhong was appointed lieutenant colonel and brigade commander, which was half a grade higher than him.
For this reason, Yan Yan had a fight with Huang Zhong, but was defeated by Huang Zhong, and she felt a little better.
Among those who followed Wang Can, the one with the lowest official position was Lu Meng.
He was appointed captain and battalion commander, with a very low rank, but Lu Meng was not angry either.
Because up to now, Lu Meng has not been crowned. As a captain and battalion commander under the age of sixteen, everyone knows that Lu Meng has a bright future. No one dares to despise Lu Meng, and Lu Meng is also a disciple of Wang Can.
Gao Shunyuan was in Hanzhong and was appointed relatively late. He was appointed colonel and brigade commander.
It can be said that Gao Shun's official position is second only to Zhao Yun under Wang Can. Although Gao Shun's official position is only brigade commander, his military rank is not low. He is on the same level as Zhao Yun and both are colonels. After the appointments of all important generals were issued, the lower-level officers
The officers will be recommended by senior officers, and there is no need for Cheng Yu to personally verify with Wang Can before issuing the appointment.
When the official positions of important generals under Wang Can changed, Wang Can's personal bodyguard Dian Wei also changed his identity and became the head of the security regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
After Dian Wei, Wang Yue's identity also changed and he became the director of the Intelligence Bureau.
However, Wang Can did not copy the director, minister, etc. because it was too troublesome and complicated. He directly gave Wang Yue the rank of lieutenant colonel, which gave Wang Yue enough face. Not only that, Wang Yue's subordinates
All nine of his disciples have become captains, and they are only one step away from becoming a major.
The last appointment was that of the craftsman's workshop.
Although Mo Yan, Ma Jun, and Pu Yuan were no longer in the establishment, Wang Can also stuffed Mo Yan and others into the army establishment, giving Mo Yan the title of lieutenant colonel, and Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.
The title of major can be said to be a temporary honor and a very preferential treatment. Such a military rank is enough to prove the importance of the craftsman's workshop.
Since then, reforms have been completed under Wang Can.
Whether it is the establishment of generals in the army, the guards who protect Wang Can, the hero building responsible for detecting intelligence, or the craftsman's workshop responsible for forging weapons, they have all been given a new look and have new positions. Although some official positions do not match
Adjustment, but what Wang Can wanted to achieve has been achieved.
The military system under Wang Can is clearer and more reasonable. However, because the military system has just begun to be changed, many personnel cannot be fully equipped and need enough time to develop.
