What is the combat force? The combat force is equivalent to the combat soldiers in the Ming army in the past. This is the main force of an army and the elite force to go up to fight.

What is the logistics force? The logistics force is equivalent to the auxiliary soldiers in the Ming army in the past, and can also be said to be the civilians who transported food and grass.

Although this concept was before, and the combat effectiveness of the Tianzhu Army's logistics troops is also quite good, this is just a concept in the Tianzhu Army.

In the eyes of the outside, it is enough to just look at the number of soldiers in an army. How many soldiers can there be in an army? One out of five? Among the 100,000 troops, may sometimes less than 20,000 soldiers.

The 350,000 Tianzhu Army sounds very large, but how many combat soldiers can there be?

Outsiders don’t know that it is at most 50,000, but Cao Bianjiao knows it clearly. Although most of the 350,000 Tianzhu Army are recruits, their weapons and equipment are excellent, making up for the lack of experience.

If you take out all 350,000, basically 340,000 can fight, and retaining 10,000 means that you are very humble.

"Yes!" Cao Wenzhao was also a little shocked when he heard this number.

Unexpectedly, the Tianzhu Army had expanded to 350,000 troops. He knew that the proportion of the Tianzhu Army's logistics troops was not that high. According to his psychological estimate, the Tianzhu Army's combat soldiers were at least 100,000.

Three hundred thousand troops and one hundred thousand warriors.

Cao Wenzhao looked at his young nephew, and the beard on the corner of his mouth was still so tender, and he had mastered such a huge army at a young age. In fact, the champion of that year, Hou Huo Qubing, did not have the glory of his nephew, as he was now.

So Cao Wenzhao was afraid that he was now the deputy admiral Jingying, but in fact he had become the real admiral Jingying. The British Duke dared not take power, and he now had the final say in the Jingying.

And it was his nephew who had the final say in the Tianzhu Army.

In other words, almost all the troops in Zhili, the north of the Ming Dynasty were in the hands of their uncles and nephews. The Cao family has not been as glorious as they are today since its founding.

But is this a good thing? The army in the capital and even the capital area was controlled by the whole family. What do you think of the emperor?

No emperor in the world dares to put military power outside, and no emperor dares to hand over military power to his family to manage it.

If this family has a little bit of a strange intention, the world will have to change its master.

It's terrible, it's really terrible. Before they knew it, their Cao family reached a critical moment of life and death.

What others saw was the unlimited scenery of their Cao family, but Cao Wenzhao saw the miserable death of the doors and windows of their Cao family.

Even if the Cao family is loyal to His Majesty, there will inevitably be someone to provoke it over time. As long as this provocation is so small, it will be the death of the Cao family.

This is why Cao Wenzhao came to find Cao Bianjiao.

After retreating bravely, the Cao family must make a choice.

That is, their uncle and nephew took the initiative to give up their military power, but they didn't have to give up all of them. Just keep a limit that His Majesty doesn't have to be suspicious.

He was in charge of the Beijing camp himself, and his nephew held an army of 350,000.

Whoever gave up the rights in his hands? Cao Wenzhao felt that he had to discuss with his nephew.

He is already old, he is another general, and he is no longer the child who can decide with just one word, so he must be respected.

"My uncle is about to resign as deputy admiral of the Beijing camp. At the same time, my uncle also hopes that you can take the initiative to find Your Majesty once. I heard that Your Majesty wants to reform the military system and reorganize the Ming army. My uncle hopes that you can find Your Majesty to reorganize the Tianzhu Army into several armies." Cao Wenzhao did not go around the corner. Their uncle and nephew had nothing to do if they were in love with their father and son.

"Okay, I'll go to His Majesty to talk about this tomorrow." Cao Bianjiao did not seem to take his uncle's request to take the initiative to weaken his rights seriously, but agreed at the beginning.

"Nephew's matter is very important. I mean...ah?" Cao Wenzhao was a little confused, so he agreed?

"The Tianzhu Army is too bloated now. I think it can be adapted into a five to six armies, which will be more conducive to combat. At that time, I will still be the commander of the army, and then I can lead the army alone to fight on the battlefield." Cao Bianjiao said with a heartless smile.

He had thought about this a long time ago. His Majesty was interested in letting him be the commander-in-chief of this Central War Zone.

But Cao Bianjiao was unwilling to do so, because the commander of the war zone belonged to the strategic commander and would not be able to go to the front line of the battlefield in the future.

How can you bear this? So it would be great to be a military commander. Leading an army alone on the battlefield is much better than the retired official.

"Uncle, do you want to resign from the Deputy Admiral Jingying? Do you want to go to the General Staff or something? I heard that Your Majesty wants you to be the Deputy Chief of Staff of the General Staff. I think this position is very suitable for you." Cao Bianjiao inadvertently gave a message.

"Deputy Chief of Staff? Leading the troops?" Cao Bianjiao was a little unaware of this position.

"If you don't lead troops, you don't have military power. In the future, all generals will have military power. All military power will be owned by the Grand Marshal's Office. The General Staff only has the right to formulate combat tactical actions on the army at the beginning of the war, and does not directly govern the army in normal times."

So Cao Bianjiao then popularized the military reforms in the middle of the night to Cao Wenzhao.

This made Cao Wenzhao so fascinated. After the establishment of the fourth headquarters, it could limit the disadvantages of the previous generals leading troops alone to control everything.

Soldiers do not need to know who their general is. They usually do not care about trainers and soldiers, and their military supplies, weapons and equipment are responsible for their respective departments.

If anyone wants to intervene in the army after this, it will be even more difficult to master the army.

So good, so good!

Cao Wenzhao felt that once this system was implemented, it would not only protect the emperor, but also protect the generals like them. He would no longer have to worry about being suspicious of the emperor and dared to let go and fight the enemy.

Early in the morning, Cao Bianjiao stared at a dark circle and went to Zhu Youxiao to adapt the Tianzhu Army as soon as possible.

So the Tianzhu Army.

It should not be officially renamed to the Central Field Army now.

In order to deepen the reform of the military system, Zhu Youxiao decided to split the Tianzhu Army, otherwise the number would be too huge if there were more than 300,000 troops in one army.

Not to mention that Zhu Youxiao was disgusted, even Cao Bianjiao was very nervous.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to adapt the Tianzhu Army, but he had to consider the feelings of the following officers. He adapted it for him as soon as he started, and he had just made great contributions. Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to make a long-term plan, but someone came to the door automatically.

Let’s borrow a donkey from the slope.

Zhu Youchao was very satisfied with Xiao Cao's sensibility. It would be better to stay for a meal. I will take you to have fun.

So Xiao Cao, who had not slept all night, was tortured by Zhu Youxiao into a giant panda eye.
