Valley Emperor

Now that the new army of the Tang Dynasty has expanded, there are not enough high-level generals, and he was originally a confidant of Zeng Ziwen, so this time he was also mentioned as a team officer.

The rest are the artillery team and the grenadier team that Li Xuan has figured out in the past two days, but these two arms are still in the paper plan, why? Because now the Tang Dynasty has no artillery and grenades.

The above arrangement is considered to be an arrangement for veterans, but Li Xuan also arranged deputy battalion officers in the three infantry battalions and the baggage battalion. They are still held by the first team officer of each battalion.

From this move, we can once again see how urgent Li Xuan is to promote those young officers.

According to Li Xuan's plan, as long as the follow-up arrangements are made well, it is logical to gradually let these deputy battalion officers replace Fang Dongquan and these main battalion officers.

After arranging all the personnel, Li Xuan issued two other plans non-stop, one was to distribute uniform uniforms to the whole army, and the other was to formally formulate the military rank system.

In the past, although the organization of the new army of the Tang Dynasty was a little messy, it was still organized, but the uniforms and ranks were completely messed up.

Not to mention military uniforms, everyone wears their own clothes. That is, last year, Li Xuan gave the soldiers of the former Guards a set of commoner clothes that were not military uniforms.

The military ranks are even more chaotic. The military ranks in the new army of the Tang Dynasty are also their respective military titles, but the titles are indiscriminately transitioned, so that there are countless thousands of households, general soldiers, and guerrillas, and many small soldiers have the title of a thousand households. , so that no one took it seriously.

Now, Li Xuan intends to formulate a standard and strict military rank system.

Since the new army of the Tang Dynasty has broken the military rank system copied from the Ming Dynasty, many people disdain the general soldier of the thousand households. Don't play, get a set, otherwise everyone will not pay attention to it, and it is not easy to deal with the thousands of general soldiers granted in the past.

For this reason, Ma Wei and others turned over a lot of books from ancient times, especially the official system in the pre-Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, and initially proposed a military rank system such as generals, left and right generals, military academies, and captains.

Then Li Xuan took a look, well, it's similar to the later generations, it's better to use the modern military rank that he is more familiar with! He didn't know that the names of later military ranks actually refer to military ranks in ancient times.

Therefore, this time he was lazy and directly copied the military ranks of later generations, and came up with a whole set of military ranks of general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, warrant officer, sergeant, sergeant, and corporal.

And in order to show the style of a great country, he also established the rank of general above the general.

However, although the military ranks were established, it was a problem how to distribute them. In order to control the problem of the proliferation of military ranks, Li Xuan decided to distribute them leisurely.

First of all, he shamelessly assigned himself the rank of major general. Why did he assign himself such a low-level rank of major general? He just wanted to suppress those people below and not grant them the rank of general.

Even if Lao Tzu is the emperor, he is only a major general. How dare you ask for the rank of general? Do not die?

Even in order to avoid suspicion, Fang Dongquan and Wang Danxu didn't even dare to ask for a colonel or lieutenant colonel, they only wanted a major.

After confirming the ranks of Fang Dongquan and Wang Danxu, other people are much easier to handle. They are assigned according to their positions. Under normal circumstances, the battalion officer is assigned to the major, the deputy battalion officer is assigned to the captain, the team officer is assigned to the captain, the deputy team officer is assigned to the lieutenant, and the platoon leader is assigned to the platoon leader. Second lieutenant, deputy platoon commander assigned to warrant officer.

Soldiers are assigned private, corporal, corporal, sergeant, and sergeant according to their service time and meritorious performance.

However, the matching of position and military rank is not specific, and some special circumstances have to be considered at the same time. For example, Chen Tufu and Cai Erhu, one of them is a team officer and the other is a deputy team officer, but the team they lead is a heavy armored sword and shield soldier. Ah, and the armored elites have never been comparable to ordinary soldiers, not to mention that they used to be generals with other generals before, so they can't be all majors, the two of them are just lieutenants.

Therefore, Li Xuan specially approved the rank of Butcher Chen and Cai Erhu and was also a major.

In order to match them

The platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders of the two majors, deputy platoon leaders and even ordinary soldiers in the sword and shield soldiers also have relatively high ranks. The platoon leader is a lieutenant, and the deputy platoon leader is a second lieutenant. Half of them were also privates, with no privates.

This heavy armored sword and shield team is based on the particularity of the arms, so the entire team is a high-level configuration, and this can convince the gangsters in the heavy armored sword and shield soldiers. They are all dressed in heavy armor. The elites of A are shouldering the heavy responsibility of attacking the enemy's formation and tearing up the enemy's defense line every time they fight. If you let them have the same rank as those recruits, they will not be convinced.

After the military rank system was finalized, Li Xuan officially announced that the titles of generals, generals, generals, and thousands of households awarded in the past would be abolished, and new military rank would be used from now on. The situation where the title of general soldier is flying all over the sky.

The establishment of military rank is actually quite simple for the Tang Dynasty. Li Xuan casually flipped through two books to determine it, and most of those soldiers were illiterate. Not in line with etiquette.

The next military uniform formulation is a lot of trouble, not the style. The style is simple, just put the top and bottom pants, which is how they wear it now, especially the soldiers in the army, as long as the details are slightly changed, such as trousers It should be tighter, and the calf should be tied with straps. The right hem of the top is designed with buttons for convenient wearing.

If it wasn't for etiquette, Li Xuan would have decided to use the button in the middle for fear that too many changes would easily lead to criticism.

In order to have a high degree of recognition, especially when the musketeers shot and the battlefield is filled with smoke, they can accurately identify the enemy and the enemy. The clothes must be brightly colored, so a blue top and red trousers are used to avoid too many variegated colors.

However, the design of military uniforms is simple, but the problem is that these more than 1,000 people need at least 2,000 sets of military uniforms. After all, you can't just distribute one set of military uniforms to the soldiers, you have to give the soldiers a change of military uniforms!

The fabrics needed for these two thousand sets of military uniforms are not a small amount. We had robbed a lot of fabrics in Zhengtai County before, but unfortunately they all threw them away when they escaped.

Recently, Li Xuan, in order to fulfill his promise not to spare his life and not to loot, has not looted the cloth, so the cloth needed for this military uniform is really not so easy to solve. For several days in a row, he sent people out to purchase cloth. Find enough surprises.

Just when Li Xuan was bothered by the military uniform, an old man ran to Liusha Zhuang with a few followers, saying that he wanted to see Li Xuan and that he could solve the problem of fabrics for the new army of the Tang Dynasty.
