Chapter 1333 Qin Army Modernization
Since the first batch of students from the Central Military Academy graduated in the third year of Longwu, Xiao Ruxun began to continuously arrange these military students who had received strict military and political education into grassroots positions in the army.

The progress of the army and the maintenance of combat effectiveness not only lie in the replacement of weapons, but also in the officers and military system. Xiao Ruxun has formulated many effective military systems for the Great Qin, so the pace of the Qin army's leap forward has never stopped.

Xiao Ruxun's series of arrangements are the main reason for the development from a rebel army in the traditional sense to this disciplined and fast-moving army, which transcended the limitations of the ancient army and infinitely advanced towards the modern army.

In order to prevent the combat effectiveness of this army from deteriorating, and to prevent the status of soldiers from returning to the situation in the middle and late Song and Ming dynasties, Xiao Ruxun established a military academy.

Not only was one established in Beijing, but the Naval Academy was established in Tianjin at the beginning of the third year of Longwu, and the Nanjing Central Military Academy and the Nanjing Naval Academy were established in Nanjing, expanding the number of military academies to four.

After that, Xiao Ruxun also planned to expand the military academies, in order to improve the quality of the generals as a whole, to the point where they would no longer be ridiculed as Qiu Ba by literati.

And at the same time, put these young people who have received strict political education from the beginning into the army, and carry out a big change of blood for the Qin army from the lowest level, fundamentally dispelling the army's generals who support themselves and rebel. possible.

From the ancient trilogy private army system to the separatist regime in the late Tang Dynasty, the self-respect of the army generals has always been a concern of the major dynasties. For this reason, the rulers of the dynasties even did not hesitate to abolish their martial arts and self-contained palaces, which led to extreme disasters. serious situation.

Xiao Ruxun himself is a typical example of an army general supporting himself and rebelling. After the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty, many people secretly speculated that Xiao Ruxun would definitely learn from Ming Taizu to kill heroes, and even if it was not good, he would learn from Zhao Kuangyin to have a drink to release his military power.

But what surprised them was that Xiao Ruxun neither killed the heroes, nor did he have the power to release soldiers with a drink.

The generals are still those people, with higher status, greater power, and more troops in command. They did not kill or dismiss them.

Some people still think that this is not the time to unload the mill and kill the donkey. The emperor will definitely start to clean up this group of veteran heroes after the Northern Expedition. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do it right after the founding of the country, did he?

Regarding this view, Xiao Ruxun would only say that they were thinking too much, Xiao Ruxun would not kill people casually, as long as no one raised the banner of rebellion in the open, he would not kill the heroes who followed him to rebel, because there was no need up.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Zhennan Army, Xiao Ruxun insisted on being one with the low-level soldiers, insisting on passing orders directly to the low-level troops, cultivating the habit of obeying the highest command in the army, and doing all kinds of overreaching to make everyone get used to his behavior.

In addition, through the opportunity of educating soldiers to read and write, they have long instilled in the soldiers the idea of ​​being loyal to the supreme ruler, starting from the bottom of every soldier, telling them who they should be loyal to, who will feed them, and give them clothes. Wear, never stop.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiao Ruxun dared not say that he was so powerful that he could control the hearts of every soldier, but at least the generals in the army would not be able to gather the scale if they wanted to lead troops to rebel.

Many people's worries were unfounded from the very beginning, because Xiao Ruxun had been very thorough in the ideological education of the army from the very beginning of the establishment of the army, and never relaxed.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a military academy was established by virtue of its power and status. From the very beginning, it cultivated loyal grassroots officers who were all loyal to the emperor and the concept of loyalty to the Great Qin. All junior officers were replaced.

Then, through them directly commanding ordinary soldiers, using literacy education and the leadership of grassroots officers, the army is fully cultivated into an army loyal to the emperor and the Great Qin. No middle or senior officer or general can use them for private affairs, such as rebellion or something.

The reorganization of the Qin army gave Xiao Ruxun the best opportunity to break up and reorganize the army, including a thousand military cadets. In the fourth year of Longwu, another thousand military cadets were incorporated.

By the time the reorganization of the Qin Army was basically completed in the fifth year of Longwu, 100 grassroots officers who had graduated from military academies had already taken over a considerable part of the ranks of grassroots officers among the [-] million regular army of the Qin Army. isolated.

And starting from the sixth year of Longwu next year, [-] military academy graduates will enter the army every year to fill the positions of grassroots officers and important positions in the army. While helping the Qin army complete modernization, it is enough to The army was firmly controlled by the central court and controlled by the emperor.

This army is the absolute Qin army, not any private army, and it is the same regardless of the north and south.

The same is true for the Navy. The graduates of the Naval Academy will also enter the Royal Navy of the Great Qin Dynasty and serve as grassroots officers. The effect on the base layer is completely erased.

Let senior generals become legends and symbols of honor instead of actually controlling the existence of the army. This is the reason why Xiao Ruxun does not need to slaughter heroes and release his military power with a glass of wine.

Although the work was extremely busy in the first few years and the expenditure was quite a lot, after the most difficult period passed, when the success appeared and the dividends appeared, it was unimaginably refreshing and carefree.

The modernization of the Qin Army is basically completed, and the standardization of the Qin Army is gradually progressing from bottom to top. The commanders of the eight major corps are respected and have great power, but the key is that when there is no staff transfer order during non-wartime, they can at most only The pro-guards who can mobilize 50 people go out to do private affairs.

train?

Don't worry, I'll bring it to you after training.

Speech?

Don't bother, the grassroots squad leader and the deputy squad leader get up every morning and lead the soldiers to shout to the Daqin Feilong battle flag and the emperor's handwritten "Great Qin Army Soul".

Daily training?

Don't bother, with the battalion-level army as the organization, the senior generals only need to issue a notice, and the troops at all levels will prepare and complete it according to the rules and regulations, and just check it directly.

The perfection of the rules and regulations in the Qin army is astonishing. There are clear procedures and regulations for everything from marching and combat to washing hands after urinating and defecating.

There are standard procedures for when to do something, how to do something, how to apply for needs and how to ask others to decide if there is a need.

Waking up, washing up, running laps, having breakfast, taking a bath, exercising in the morning, lunch, lunch break, exercising in the afternoon, dinner, studying in the evening, and going to bed with lights off, this is a set of standard procedures, and various living rules are also well established. Do the same, and those who don't will be punished.

Under such meticulous regulations, under the leadership of officers who graduated from military academies, the army began a comprehensive self-innovation. Under the dual effects of the leadership of officers and the strict punishment of military regulations, the Qin army got rid of its old appearance in a very short time, showing A whole new look.
