Chapter 112 Military Rank System

More than 30,000 troops returned to the camp. Although most of them were new troops that had only been armored for a few days, half of them were originally auxiliary soldiers. Liaodong City suddenly got so many new troops to join. Those new troops who were sharpening their knives and preparing to slaughter the Anshi Army in one day and a half later all cheered happily.

As soon as more than 30,000 entered the city, he was announced that half of the wealth he collected after capturing Liaodong City will be sent to them like the soldiers and civilians in the Liaodong City. The more than 30,000 people were even more excited. When they thought they missed the opportunity to capture Liaodong City, they not only did not receive any credit, but also did not even get a little reward for their wealth and were a little disappointed, this news undoubtedly made the soldiers of the three armies excited.

After settling down the troops, Chen Kefu directly summoned the three thousand old subordinates from the Po camp to hold a banquet to celebrate.

Although there were not many people, almost all the officers above the sixth rank in the army arrived. Except for Li Jie and his subordinates, as well as the generals sent to Anshi, everyone gathered together.

Li Benlei raised his wine glass and stood up to Chen Kefu happily, "General He broke through Liaodong City and won a great victory!"

Chen Kefu smiled and picked up the wine glass, "Congratulations together!"

The generals were all happy and drank happily. After three rounds of wine, Li Benlei said to Chen Kefu, "General, the two ambush plans you just mentioned are indeed very good. They are bold and the plan is very perfect. Earlier, when I received a letter from the general in Xincheng, what was said above was not very clear. I don't know why the general suddenly summoned me back. Now it seems that it is necessary. The army returns to the city to further complete the reorganization of the army. And it is more certain to ambush the two Liao people in Anshi the next day. By then, tens of thousands of troops will annihilate the two Anshi the troops in Anshi, which will not only reduce the delay time, but also let us rush to the Liaohe River faster. Moreover, this time, the ambush battle will not be too dangerous, and they can also experience a war at close range and let them see blood. This undoubtedly improves the growth of the new army."

Chen Kefu put down the wine glass in his hand, sat next to Li Benlei, and asked with a smile, "This time he suddenly decided to reorganize the army, and he didn't have time to ask for your opinion. I don't know what you think of this second round of new reorganization."

For Chen Kefu, in addition to him, the most prestigious one in the Pojun camp was the old man Li Benlei. The old man was experienced and kind to lead soldiers. He not only had prestige among soldiers, but also had prestige among generals and schools. In some aspects, the old man could basically become his teacher.

Such an attitude of a second-in-command in the army is crucial to him. Now, Li Jie, the third-in-command in the army, has completely met. At this time, he needs the support of the second-in-command in the army. With the support of the old man, he can better control the army.

The old man put down his wine glass and did not answer directly, but asked, "I heard that the general was preparing to implement military rank in the army? I wonder what this rank is going on?"

Chen Kefu smiled, "The so-called military rank is similar to the rest of the official rank, but the official rank is only available for official personnel. The lowest-level official position in the army is from the ninth rank, but soldiers from the ninth rank are the largest part of the entire army. Now when we are reorganizing the army, basically all the troops are new. New officers, new soldiers. The soldiers do not recognize generals, and generals do not recognize soldiers. This is a very bad situation. It is extremely unfavorable for battlefield command."

"And even as an officer, our official positions are quite chaotic now. You know, your Majesty has given me great power this time and has also given me all the official positions of ten Yingyang Mansions. But I can only appoint ten fifth-level generals. If I go up, I have no rights. Now, after the new military positions in the army have been appointed, the number of officers has increased a lot."

"But generals like Hu Hai cannot be promoted anymore. Many of his past subordinates are now on par with him. Some of them were even at a low level in the past, but after making merit, I promoted them to a higher level than their former boss. In addition, some of them have higher positions in the new army. Ru Liu Tiezhu, he is the fifth rank, and now the commander of the fifth division, and Chen Fu, he is also the fifth rank, and now the deputy commander. They are the same level, but in the new army, their new military position is Liu Tiezhu, who is one level higher than Chen Fu. Moreover, the commander of the new army is the fifth rank, and the deputy commander is the fifth rank, which is a bit confusing."

"The army has always required orders to be smooth and clear, and superiors and subordinates. Therefore, I retained everyone's original rank and official positions. However, in the new army, military positions at all levels were re-established. All military positions were not based on the original rank, but on the rank. They were made into two iron sheets with signs engraved on them, and they were clearly visible on their shoulders. Those soldiers who did not know each other could see the heights at a glance, which was easy to command."

"Soldiers have grades, too?"

"Yes, all soldiers also have levels, so that they can more arouse the bravery of the soldiers and facilitate command. For example, the platoon leader is the rank of a second lieutenant, which is the rank of an officer, and is the 9th rank. The deputy platoon leader is the warrant officer, who is from the 9th rank."

"The squad leader is not an officer, but in the army, the position of squad leader is very important, which is equivalent to the previous position of gang leader. This is the lowest combat unit in the army, and it is very important. We set up a military rank, which is the rank of non-commissioned officers, divided into three levels, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant, and sergeant serves as squad leader. Under the squad leader, we can set up a deputy squad leader, and the deputy squad leader is the squad leader. There are ten people in a squad, and among these ten people, there must be soldiers with bravery or high qualifications. We can award this soldier the rank of corporal. In wartime, when the squad leader is killed in battle or disabled, the deputy squad leader will take over as squad leader, and the corporal will automatically take over as deputy squad leader. This ensures that a squad combat unit will not lose its combat effectiveness because of the sudden loss of the squad leader."

"The soldiers are divided into two levels of military ranks, private, and private. All newly enlisted soldiers are private, and they can be automatically upgraded to private after one year of enlistment. Those who enlist for two years will be promoted to corporal ranks. In the army, all low ranks must be subject to high ranks. Moreover, the food and salary of all soldiers will be paid different treatments according to the military ranks of different levels."

Chen Kefu introduced his military rank there, but no one drank again. All the generals and schoolmen were listening to Chen Kefu's introduction there.

Lu Shishen walked over with a wine glass and asked, "How do you divide the ranks of the officers and generals?"

"The entire military rank is divided into five levels, including general rank, school rank, lieutenant rank, non-commissioned officer rank, and military rank. The military rank is matched with the positions in the army. For example, the platoon leader is the second lieutenant, deputy company commander, lieutenant, company commander, captain. Deputy battalion commander, major colonel, lieutenant colonel, regiment commander, colonel, brigade commander, division commander, major general, deputy commander, chief of staff, lieutenant general, commander, general, and general. Some technical and logistics units, such as craftsmen and doctors, are honorary non-commissioned officer ranks, divided into one to five levels according to their qualifications, and are divided into one to five levels, and those who have been in the army for more than five years, are also divided into one to five levels."

"The sign of the private rank is one folded bar, the top-level private rank is two folded bar, the rank of the non-commissioned officer, the first-level non-commissioned officer has one folded bar, the second-level non-commissioned officer has two folded bar, the third-level non-commissioned officer has three folded bar."

"The rank of lieutenant, one star, one lieutenant, two stars, one lieutenant, one lieutenant, three stars."

"The rank of major, two bars and one star, lieutenant colonel, two bars and two stars, colonel, two bars and three stars."

"The rank of brigade general, one star, major general, two stars, lieutenant general, three stars, rank of general, four stars."

"I had already asked the people from the Craftsman Camp to rush the military rank yesterday, and I guess they can rush all of them today. By then, all the soldiers will be clear when they bid farewell to their shoulders."

Li Benlei nodded, "In this way, everyone has military ranks on their shoulders, which is indeed clear at a glance, even if they don't know the word. In this way, it can indeed improve the situation that after the full reorganization of the army, the superiors and subordinates in the army do not know each other, and the divisions do not know each other. But, General, do you really want to consolidate the army like this? In this way, we originally added the ten Yingyang Mansions, and there were only 22,000 people, but now there are more than 70,000 people at once. And all the military system and official positions have been changed. I am afraid that if the court is investigated at that time, it will be a big trouble."

Chen Kefu was prepared for this matter, "What General Li said, Li Jie had told me before, and I had also considered this matter. Our situation is very special. If we only care about various rules, then we cannot repel the Goguryeo people and defend the Liaodong city. For victory, we will temporarily modify the military system to facilitate command, which is a temporary measure. I believe that Your Majesty will understand our painstaking efforts at that time. As for the addition of new troops, Your Majesty also promised me that I could train Minzhuang, but now we are just mixing Minzhuang and regular troops together."

Li Benlei nodded, "General, don't worry, no matter what, my old man will support the general. No matter what, I will advance and retreat with the general. When your Majesty really punishes me, it will be my share. Tomorrow morning, I will complete the reorganization of the remaining troops except for the 11,000 Liu Tiezhu Fifth Division in Xincheng and the 11,000 Huhai Third Division in Anshi who rushed to Anshi."

"After reorganizing the First, Second, Fourth, Sixth Divisions and the headquarters tomorrow, we will have more than half a day to conduct an emergency training to familiarize ourselves with the new team and respond to the ambush that will come the day after tomorrow. Let the general leave this matter to me. Although these soldiers are all new recruits, they have the backbone of our Pojun Camp as their foundation. In addition, the new recruits are also strong and young. They will definitely win the day after tomorrow, just like the first battle of our Pojun Camp."

"Okay, then just raise your cup for the Great Sui Dynasty, for Your Majesty, for our Northeast Army!"

"Dry!"
