Chapter 172 Sun Chuanting
In order to give more new soldiers a practical experience, Zhu Youjian set a three-month rotation system for the new army who remained in Guizhou.
In this way, it can not only train more new troops, but also enable Guizhou's new troops to maintain strong combat effectiveness.
In addition, Zhu Youjian also planned to promote this system of military training and rotational garrison to the Nine Borders to change the tendency of the military to become a warlord in the nine Borders.
However, it is not easy to promote this system, which is contrary to the nine-sided garrison system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang before. Lower-level officers and soldiers may support it, but upper-level officers will definitely oppose it.
At present, the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian's plan can only be delayed indefinitely.
Although I have recruited three soldiers in the past two years, the number is still too small and small-scale conflicts can be dealt with, but large-scale battles such as resisting tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Tartars entering the pass seem to be a drop in the bucket.
So this time, the new army recruited 5,000 troops at one time.
Apart from special troops in logistics supply, medical care, engineering guidance, etc., the new army after recruiting should have more than 10,000 soldiers.
It should be fine if 10,000 new army soldiers cooperated with the original Ming army to fight a battle of less than 50,000 people with the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.
In fact, for the new army, such as baggage troops, engineered troops, etc., they can also go to the battlefield for emergency response in emergencies. Moreover, according to Lu Xiangsheng's training, their combat effectiveness must be stronger than that of the old-style army.
However, Zhu Youjian has always adhered to the modern idea of building a military, allowing professionals to do professional things, and good logistics supplies are also the guarantee for an army to maintain strong combat effectiveness.
However, after another group of new troops were recruited, Lu Xiangsheng wrote a letter and made an opinion: there were too few senior generals.
The general structure of the new army is divided into senior officers, middle-level officers, lower-level officers and lower-level officers.
Most of the lower-level non-commissioned officers came from the first batch of 3,000 recruits, and performed better in their daily training and Guizhou's counter-rebellion.
The lower-level officers are generally at the platoon level, with some coming from newly enrolled martial arts students, and the other one coming from non-commissioned officers who have outstanding performance in training and actual combat.
Middle-level officers are generally at battalion level, and basically they come from the first batch of martial arts students who enrolled in school. Most of them are battalion level officers, and some temporary agents with outstanding performance.
Because the new army was formed for too short and had not undergone large-scale combat baptism, most of the officers from martial arts were stopped at the battalion level, and a small number of those who performed well were temporarily serving regiment positions.
And there are no officers at the level of the division and brigade at the higher level.
There are only Lu Xiangsheng, the current senior officers and generals, and the shortage of officers above the regiment is very serious.
After recruiting more than 15,000 new troops, they were divided into two divisions according to the military system formulated by Zhu Youjian, while Lu Xiangsheng served as the brigade commander and the commander himself.
In order to avoid misconduct in command, Lu Xiangsheng often brought the meeting to the regiment level, and Lu Xiangsheng also made many opinions on this, but Zhu Youjian insisted that officers should be selected from actual combat. Officers who have not undergone actual combat should not hold positions at the regiment level or above, and their positions will be promoted step by step.
Zhu Youjian did not want to happen to this young new army, so officers above the regiment level are currently blank.
However, in order to relieve Lu Xiangsheng's pressure, Zhu Youjian recruited another talent for him.
Sun Chuanting, whose courtesy name is Boya, is 36 years old. He is a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli. He is a native of Zhenwuwei, Daizhou, Shanxi.
In the 47th year of Wanli, he was appointed as the magistrate of Yongcheng County. In the early years of Tianqi, he joined the capital and was appointed as the chief officer of the Ministry of Personnel. Because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's autocracy, the eunuch party was in trouble, he abandoned his official position and returned home.
Regarding Sun Chuanting, who left the Ming Dynasty in history, Zhu Youjian recalled the reincarnation after he eliminated Wei Zhongxian, but Sun Chuanting refused.
Seeing that he really didn't want to come out, Zhu Youjian did not force it. The main reason was that the new army had few people at that time, so it would be enough to have Lu Xiangsheng.
At this time, the scale of the new army further expanded, and Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be a little alone, so Zhu Youjian remembered Sun Chuanting again.
Zhu Youjian, later generations, has heard a lot about Sun Chuanting's generals. His example of defeating Gao Yingxiang's troops and killing Gao Yingxiang in the original history is enough to show that he has the style of a famous general.
Moreover, Sun Chuanting, like Lu Xiangsheng, was a natural talent. Both of them were civil servants and had not received any formal military training before being ordered to lead troops to defend the king against rebellion or resist the Tartars.
Basically, it is the kind of person who can lead the army by reading a few military books.
Zhu Youjian must have used such talented talents, so he threw out his olive branch early, but he didn't expect Sun Chuanting to buy it, which really made Zhu Youjian feel a lot colder.
However, Sun Chengzong, who refused to reinstate the emperor, was also very uncomfortable in the past two years. When he resigned, he was the head of the Ministry of Personnel. He was the sixth rank and was also the official position. Naturally, he felt that the emperor was not sincere.
Moreover, Sun Chuanting was a scholar-official who upheld feudal thoughts. He also wanted to uphold the etiquette of the emperor's edicts and three resignations. It would be best if he could achieve a good story.
Sun Chuanting is a straightforward person. Since the emperor has no more advice, he can only continue to support his hopes in his hometown.
Zhu Youjian didn't know what Sun Chuanting thoughts, thinking that Sun Chuanting really didn't want to come out. After all, when Han Yu and Sun Chengzong were restored, they were not embarrassed.
However, this time the new army is really short of people, and the shadow of the change of Ji Si has been hanging over Zhu Youjian's head, so Zhu Youjian has to attract Sun Chuanting no matter what.
It was just that Sun Chuanting really couldn't figure out what the new emperor was thinking. If he refused, he would be a joke if he waited for another two years.
Moreover, in the two years after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty became a new atmosphere. It eliminated the eunuch party and punished corrupt officials, occupied the Tartars in the north, and quelled the rebellion in the south, and wiped out the habits of poverty and weakness in the previous dynasty. It was a powerful lord of a generation.
Sun Chuanting looked at the prosperous scene in the court, and was really jealous. He had long wanted to return to the capital and continue to shine.
So as soon as the revival imperial edict arrived, Sun Chuanting rushed to the capital without stopping.
To Sun Chuanting's surprise, on the day when Sun Chuanting entered the capital, Zhu Youjian personally summoned him, and he was the only one.
According to Sun Chuanting's original intention, as a small official of the sixth rank, he at most thanked the emperor for his resurrection at the court meeting and wanted to go back to work in his original unit.
Moreover, according to Sun Chuanting's previous memory of attending the dynasty meeting, he had absolutely no hope of entering the Huangji Hall, and it was very likely that Yaoyao's prayer would end outside the Huangji Gate.
Even the emperor sat high on the throne and couldn't even see his appearance, so he sent him away.
