After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaoxian said: "The establishment of the imperial army has always been three levels. It used to be Xiang, Jun, and Camp, but now it has become Jun, General, and Team. Not only the name has changed, but the number of people has also changed.

The military has changed, and the command methods have also changed. But I have always felt that there are many inconveniences. Not only is it not conducive to commanding operations, but it is also not conducive to daily training, and it is also not conducive to management. This reorganization is different from the previous reorganization. Everything has been overhauled.

, requires a lot of energy. Military reorganization not only changes the organization and officers, but more importantly, the way of fighting changes."

Li Yanxian said: "How has the way of fighting changed? It is not the same as before. When there is a war, each general leads his troops to fight."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "It's not just that. There are so many levels. First of all, it is because we have to face different wars. What tasks are completed and what kind of combat units are needed? Generals cannot command blindly. For example, if they are all at the first level, they are actually a simple army.

Formation. There is no reconnaissance cavalry, no command system, and no baggage personnel, so it cannot actually fight alone. There is also no baggage and command at the battalion level. When fighting independently, it must be equipped separately. Only at the regiment level can we have the ability to fight independently.

.Such a setting will have different requirements for the organization and command of our army."

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and then said: "Different battles should have levels, but no one has mentioned it before. I think so, the army's battles can be generally divided into strategic operations and tactical operations. Which level?

There should be a clear distinction between whether the army is suitable for strategic operations and which level is suitable for tactical operations. The reason why the regiment level is designated as the fundamental level is because it can independently complete tactical operations. It can be considered that the regiment and the troops below are tactical units

The army is a strategic unit, and the division is between the two. In principle, battalions below the regiment level cannot perform combat tasks alone. Military commanders at all levels must be clear about this."

Of course, the division of military power in later generations was not like this. But Wang Xiaolie didn't know, so he could only follow his own understanding. After such division, each level would have a precise meaning, which would be beneficial to the general's command.

Seeing that the other people were still confused, Wang Xiaolie told Jiang Min outside the door: "Go and get the formation diagrams collected by the army."

Not long after, Jiang Min came in with a large roll of formation diagrams and handed it to Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie laid out the formation diagrams on the table and said to everyone: "Since I led the army, I have made many efforts to collect these formation diagrams. From the Pingrong and Ten Thousand Formations of the Taizong Dynasty, to the regular formations of the Zhenzong Dynasty, and then to the Shenzong Dynasty.

The eight formations are all available. Those of us who lead troops in war all know the disadvantages of generals arranging according to formation diagrams when fighting. There is no need to explain these. Then why collect formation diagrams? Because these formation diagrams are based on the military experience of past dynasties.

Summary. There are summaries and reflections on real battle cases, as well as some fantastic ideas. Of course it is wrong to use formation diagrams to guide operations in the face of battle, but it is also wrong to think that formation diagrams are useless and to discard them as cheats. We should use these formation diagrams to guide our operations.

Study the war and think about it. Why are the formations arranged like this on the formation map? What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages? What exactly does the formation map describe on the battlefield? Faced with these contents, how should the generals arrange it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the formation map?

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the various arms? How should they be applied? In a word, study these formation diagrams thoroughly, learn them clearly, and then step out of them without being bound by the formation diagrams. For military commanders

Said, this is a theoretical lesson that must be learned."

Li Yanxian looked at the array diagrams on the table. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I have seen some of the array diagrams here, but I just thought they were of little use and did not study them carefully. As Zhen Fu said, a lot of energy will be spent on them.

.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "What does an army commander do when he is not fighting? Apart from managing the army, the most important thing is these things. Not only must he have practical experience, but he must also have theoretical knowledge. The best theory is the formation map.

Already."

Among the few people, only Shao Ling knew the battle map well, and the rest had mostly seen it before but didn't have a deep understanding of it.

Since the time of Taizong, the emperors of the Song Dynasty have been fond of studying formation diagrams. During wartime, they would give formation diagrams to generals and let them arrange their formations according to the formation diagrams. Sometimes they would even send formation envoys to the front line to supervise the formation. The frontline generals were deeply involved in the formation.

I suffered from it and was very disgusted by it.

It is certainly wrong to use formation diagrams to guide combat, but it is very useful to use formation diagrams to learn. Most of a general's military theoretical knowledge can be learned from formation diagrams. Wang Xiaolie collected formation diagrams for learning, not for combat.

Looking at the faces of several people, Wang Xiaolie said: "In the past few years, I have ordered the instructors of the military academy to study the formation diagram. Many of their opinions have been written in the notes next to them. When you are free, take a look at these. Pass.

These days, there are special instructors assigned to the military academy, and you all should go and learn from them. Don’t underestimate these things. Learning the formation diagrams and getting out of them will be of great benefit to a general."

Li Yanxian and others said so.

Wang Xiaolie said: "If you want to truly understand how to fight, you must not only have experience, but also theory. Only by integrating theory with practice and guiding practice can you achieve the best results. I do not deny that there are natural good generals in the world who do not study much.

, you can command the army. If you go into battle, you can always win the battle. This kind of people can be found but cannot be sought, and cannot wait to be delivered to your door. Most of us are ordinary people. What should ordinary people do? Just keep learning,

Continuously practice, learn lessons, and summarize experience. In the following days, while reorganizing the army, officers at all levels must also be organized to conduct corresponding studies. Wushu suffered a lot in Mianchi at the beginning of the year, and it is estimated that there will be no more in the next one or two years.

There is a big war. If there is no big war, we cannot be idle. We must organize the army for continuous drills and study hard at the same time.”

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was very serious, Li Yanxian, Wang Ruohai, Niu Gao and Shao Ling all said yes.

Wang Xiaoxue said: "When I was in Kaifeng Mansion, Zong Liushou valued General Yue Fei and once taught him the formation map. General Yue said that the art of war is to fight after formation. The best use of it lies in one mind. This is right, but

It does not apply to everyone. To be honest, I am not a person who is good at leading troops to fight. But in this position, I have to be able to lead troops to fight? What should I do? I can only use it better than others.

If you have more time to study, you must spend more energy and effort than others and study each battle carefully. The more you learn, the more you see, the more you fight, the more you will be stronger than the average person. I dare not

I don’t expect to have many natural-born generals under my command, but I hope that each of you will be good at learning and summarizing. There is no way around talent, but you can master it yourself by working harder and studying harder. I hope you will remember this sentence."

Wang Xiaolie's attitude was very sincere. The four of them crossed their hands and made a loud promise.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiao hunter stroked the tea cup and looked at the spring scenery outside the door. After a while, he said: "Counsellor Liu is here under the order of the Privy Council, so we can't neglect it. But our army is different from the Privy Council's army. It is recommended that

Military concepts are different, management methods are different, daily study and training are also different, and fighting is even different. Yesterday you saw that Counselor Liu actually has many different ideas from me. In the future, when you contact me, be careful not to object to Counselor Liu and say

Just listen to whatever you want. In my army, I must manage the army in my own way. There is no room for discussion on this point. If you have different opinions, it doesn’t matter, just leave. There are many armies in the world, and there are great futures in other places. There is no need to

Stick to this. I am not that narrow-minded. Even if I leave, I will not become an enemy."

Li Yanxian said: "Since I agree to the merger of the two armies, I naturally have no other ideas. Don't worry, Zhenfu!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have other ideas, as long as you don't do it. This sentence is not for everyone, but for each of you. It is not for you to have any ideas, but for management.

When working as a subordinate, remember this sentence. The human brain is a very strange thing. It will always think about some messy things. As superiors, we should not care what the subordinates do, but not what they think. What others think will not matter.

If I have to listen to you, what’s the point of living?”

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone and said: "I just want to remind you not to be rude in front of Counselor Liu. Remember, he is our superior and cannot mess with the rules. Also remember, we are independent

An army must have its own methods and cannot just listen to others."

Wang Ruohai said: "Yesterday I came to support Councilor Liu, and I saw that the governor was not very respectful."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "How can you be considered very respectful? What Councilor Liu said is to promise something and follow him in everything? I have an army of one hundred thousand here, and I can only do so! Don't think too much, just think about it.
Chapter completed!
