"Yes, king!" Li Jing stood up obediently, clasped his fists at Yang Song, sat down cautiously, and thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the army formed by our country in accordance with the "Fire Arms Training Code" is too bulky. Although it is equipped with many war horses to improve its disadvantages, it has high requirements for logistics officers. If it were not for the strong national strength of our country, more than 5,000 cavalry of a single brigade of war horses would be difficult to bear."

Yang Song nodded gently to Li Jing's answer in agreement. Yes, there are 5,250 cavalrymen in a brigade, but this is not counting the remaining infantry officers, guards, communications and other troops. There are so many war horses. If Yang Song had not raised war horses in captivity in order to prevent the situation, there would not have been these brigades now.

Not to mention the standard brigade's field artillery of up to 150, thirty siege artillery, and one musket for each person. This completely tests how much comprehensive national strength a country has.

If the Xia Kingdom had not been strong enough after the steam engine and industrialization, the existing armies would have given Yang Song a headache.

While Yang Song was sighing secretly, Li Jing continued to say: "The king clearly understands that the army of a country is in the enemy and himself! He redeems the ministers to be brave. According to his opinion, the army of his country is strong, but there is a little oversupply."

"Excess? Do you mean that the country's army is too strong?" After seeing Li Jing nodding and confirming, Yang Song suddenly felt a sense of amusement. This was the first time he heard someone disliked his power being too strong.

Only the monarch would dislike his power as being too small, so why would there be a monarch who dislikes it too strong? Yang Song said that he would never think so anyway.

Li Jing didn't know how Yang Song felt in his heart, but he could probably guess it, so he explained: "I hope the king will understand clearly. My intention is that the power of a single brigade is too strong, not that the military strength of the country is too strong. On the contrary, according to my opinion, the military strength of the country is too weak and needs to be expanded."

After saying this, Li Jing paused. Seeing that Yang Song had some clarity, he continued to say: "Looking at the four directions of our country, the journey of barbarians is vulnerable, but there are many. From the past to the present, it has been a problem for our country and has never changed."

After hearing this, Yang Song finally understood what Li Jing wanted to say. He wanted to listen to the other party's next words. After all, Li Jing raised this question at this time, and he wanted to see what Li Jing could do to solve this problem.

Yes, from the beginning of coming to this world, Yang Song had to carry out the whole nation because of his weak power, but even so, he trained a small number of elite troops for the future.

Later, when he gained a foothold in this world, in order to deal with the numerous indigenous threats, Yang Song maintained the previous system, but the number of elite professional troops was larger.

Now, the Xia Kingdom has become stronger, and the whole people in the past have ceased to exist. All that is left is only a part of the militia used for logistics support. However, even if the regular army has been reorganized and expanded many times, it is very small compared to the rapidly growing number of Xia Kingdom.

"King, after the last war, I have summarized it and found that my country's military strength is too small, so I proposed to reorganize my country's army." Li Jing's words were telling Yang Song that he did not mean to conceal it, and that he would take time to study it.

Before Yang Song could make a statement, after Li Jing finished speaking, he immediately talked about the solution he had thought of during this period: "I suggest reorganizing the existing army of our country and turning it into a brigade into a division!"

When Yang Song heard this important sentence, he immediately asked curiously: "Change a brigade into a teacher? How to change?"

"Return to the king." Li Jing replied with his fist: "I suggest changing the army's organization from level 5 to level 'platoon, company, battalion, regiment, brigade' to level 6 of 'squad, platoon, company, battalion, regiment, division'. Under the original 'platoon', the new 'squad' level 'squad' level and the 'brigade' is changed to level 's division'."

"Oh? Let's talk about it in detail." Yang Song leaned forward with interest. He wanted to hear why Li Jing changed this way.

"Yes, king." After Li Jing received the order, he began to start with his suggestions that he had been thinking for a long time: "After the last war, I felt that the number of troops in our country was too small and the generals were insufficient. Later, I carefully analyzed the details of our country's army and our home and abroad, and came to this conclusion-the battle between our country and the enemy was not in the number of cavalry, but in the number of people and artillery!"

"King, military advisor." Li Jing said this, and then he clasped his fists at Yang Song and Liu Ji who was listening quietly on the side, and then continued: "From the past, the wars in our country, whether it is defensive passes or marching through the city, have rarely used cavalry. In addition, although the military system recorded in the "Fire Arms Training" is powerful, it does not conform to the current situation of our country."

"So," Yang Song's face had long since become extremely serious when he heard this.

"As for the order, king." Li Jing said that there was nothing that could not be said at this point. He continued to preach: "The military system of the minister is adapted, and the level 'teacher' is different from the military system recorded in the "Fire Arms Training Book". The number of people is only 40,000. In the "Fire Arms Training Book", the "teacher" is the first level above the "brigade", with a total of 62,000 people."

"The military system of the minister is divided into 'Standard Division' and 'Cabin Division'." Li Jing explained the causes and consequences to Yang Song, and then explained in detail his detailed organization of the army after the reorganization: "The standard division is led by a general with the rank of lieutenant general and a chief of staff with the rank of major general..." (For details, please see the latest works related)

After Li Jing finished explaining the newly compiled specific content in detail, a long time had passed.

Before Yang Song could react, Liu Ji, who had been listening quietly on the side, immediately clapped and praised: "It's amazing, General Li's change is really wonderful."

"After General Li's change, it solved the problem of insufficient military personnel, and it met the actual needs at home and abroad, and solved the problem of military promotion for the long-term soldiers for the king. This is really a killing of multiple goals!" Just as Yang Song was still wondering where the wonderful things Liu Ji said, Liu Ji had already explained his "wonderfulness" clearly.

After listening to the three benefits that Liu Ji said, Yang Song suddenly realized that Li Jing's suggestion had so many benefits. Especially the issue of military rank promotion for soldiers, which troubled him for a long time, but he had never found a solution.

Over the years, the Xia Kingdom has undergone many wars and its army has been renovated and expanded many times. Although Yang Song has rewarded all kinds of contributions, the ranks of several major generals were still "major generals" at the beginning and have not changed. This is a big trouble for Yang Song, who is determined to be a "wise ruler". After all, if you make a contribution, you have to show it.

Now it was better. After Liu Ji said this, Yang Song realized that Li Jing's change to the military system had solved this problem for him, and he had made no mistakes.

"Berwen, since you think this is so wonderful, what's the harm in doing this?" Although Yang Song was happy, he still wanted to hear what the "culprit" wanted to say.

"Return to the king. General Li's change has a real cause and effect, and it must be reasonable." Liu Ji restrained his smile on his face and replied seriously: "But I must talk about his flaws, that is, after General Li's change, the mobility of the army will be seriously reduced. However, General Li has already reported this as awesome, so I will not say more."

"Then Bowen, are you talking about what other benefits?" In fact, Yang Song had already agreed with Li Jing's suggestion in his heart, but Yang Song suddenly felt sophisticated about Liu Ji's nonsense. He also wanted to hear what other unique insights Liu Ji had.

When Liu Ji heard Yang Song’s question about him, he didn’t know why his king suddenly used such a move on him, which caught him off guard.
