Chapter 116 Changes in the Military System (Central)

After the provincial institutions were improved, the provincial prefectures were gradually established.

Guo Gai and others summarized the lessons of Eastern Rome in their early years. At that time, various officials, dispatches and titles in Eastern Rome overlapped with each other, military, judicial and administrative officials were unknown division of labor, and various institutions in the military region were stacked and built. Not only did they reduce the

Efficiency cannot solve the problem of aristocratic rebellion when facing problems.

Therefore, a simple but efficient system is necessary. This system requires a large number of experienced and reliable officials.

Before, the Greeks also made many attempts. The whole world west of the Palacio may have the most developed and perfect system, even surpassing the Persians who were teachers. However, the Greeks still could not solve the problems of internal strife and rebellion among the nobles.

,

Guo Gai and others believed that this was not the fault of the system - the Greeks' system had even been over-improved and began to Songhua. The real reason was that their educational level was not as good as that of the Central Plains, and they could not allow the civic class to provide a large number of management talents.

I have always relied on these big families and churches to provide education and talent, and of course I cannot get rid of their influence.

As for how to obtain so many officials, Guo Gai's idea is to choose from the army.

Since its establishment, the Purple Horde Khanate has been very unpopular by all the God-worshiping forces around him. He basically has to fight with people if he has anything to do. Therefore, the military atmosphere in Khan is very strong, and grassroots military and administrative organizations often

It's just one thing.

At the same time, veterans in the army are also the most educated and managed people at the grassroots level of the Khanate.

In particular, the hundreds of grassroots households are both grassroots administrative personnel and grassroots officers in the Khanate system. It is the daily routine of many places to manage villages and lead troops to fight during wartime.

Anyway, they don’t need to be gentlemen in the army. According to Guo Gai’s experience, as long as there are a few hundred Chinese characters and some simple and concise marks dedicated to the army, they can meet the needs of various things from daily copywriting to flag markings.

.

When the Han Dynasty was prosperous, this weapon was a thing that did not occupy the organization - basically everyone could carry one of the main infantry.

The Han crossbow itself is now outdated. But the quality of the army is a factor that cannot be ignored at any time.

What people in the Han Dynasty could do with bamboo slips, but now they use printing techniques, so there is more conditions to achieve it. After all, for soldiers, of course, the more educated, the better. In addition to writing, it is best to know mathematics.

Over the past few decades, a set of traditions that may be quite unique in Europe have been formed in the Khanate army. The veterans and grassroots military officers of the army have also provided sufficient personnel for local management.

As Romans who fight every day, Guo Gai and others have certainly had a deep understanding of this.

In the Central Plains, there is a classic story:

During the Northern Song Dynasty, some people dug out some crossbows from the Han Dynasty, so they tried to restore this ancient high-tech, hoping to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. The famous scholar Shen Kuo also studied these crossbows.

Shen Kuo found that the aiming components of this crossbow were quite long and there was a scale on the side. The design intention was to aim at the end point, target and scale of the arrow during launch, calculate the launch angle to adjust the height of the arrow.

Next. The Pythagorean method used here is the Pythagorean method.

Later, even these symbols were eliminated - the soldiers believed that Chinese characters were originally simple-painted symbols, so there was no need to do another one.

The war is not about bravery, but about the collision of two machines. These trivial and complicated matters seem to have nothing to do with the nervous and passionate fighting, but they and the rules and regulations behind them are the source of combat effectiveness. To this day,

In the Western Regions, there were also booklets used by soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to learn calligraphy, which shows how popular it was at that time.

Even if the Heavenly Father threw the crossbow from the arsenal to the Northern Song army, how many of them could learn to use it? Can they maintain it? Can they not turn into waste products in a few months or even sell it to other countries?

Before, the Han Dynasty left a mantra, but people at that time were no longer able to understand the meaning. Shen Kuo compared the crossbow machine and found that it was probably telling the user the standard gestures to hold, the aiming method and the calculation method. It is said that

The ancients used this method to hit ten shots and hit ten shots in the same place.

So, can Shen Kuo's method help the Song Dynasty army?

Of course not.

Here, education has a more important need: most of their soldiers are recruited by people from all over the world, and they do not communicate with each other in dialects. Moreover, except for the Greeks, everyone basically has no mature writing and wants to make documents.

I can't even do the work. In this case, if education is not promoted in the military, I'm afraid I can't even give orders to soldiers.

Shen Kuo restored a crossbow and went to the shooting range to experiment. Although he was a novice, he could still get 7 or 8 out of ten. Therefore, he believed that this method was effective.

In the Han Dynasty, soldiers had to learn to use crossbows and conduct regular assessments. As with beheading numbers, the most important indicator for rewards and promotions. In addition, they also had to carry out complicated maintenance and maintenance of crossbows.

Check whether the tension of the crossbow's arms is equal, whether the strength and range are qualified, and record it in detail. The superior will send people to randomly check it from time to time.

In addition to performing military tasks, a grassroots officer also has a lot of documents to do: routine inspection and maintenance of weapons, soldiers' health, training performance, assessment results, and even the resident's grain reserves, non-stay food procurement, and drug reserves.

...They have to write and sign all kinds of official documents and books.

According to the Han Dynasty, illiterate people cannot pass the assessment and become military officers. This is not intentional to create a threshold, but because a combat-capable army cannot be a mob that hastily pulled up.

Based on the experience of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is an important task to implement education in the army. Many soldiers have low origins and are not systematically educated, and even have difficulty reading and writing. It is difficult for such people to recognize complex military orders in the army.

, and it is impossible to write official documents, and training and performing tasks will be affected.

The nobles of the Purple Hordes's Khanate have not had a good level of education, but they at least know a little bit: the Li brothers are engineers who repair water conservancy for people, and their basic calculation and measurement skills are very good; the Cao family and his son are from accounting offices.

, good at arithmetic; Zhang Imam, the first Patriarch, was even more powerful. As the Khanate's most knowledgeable person, he has participated in many local sects in West Asia. He can not only translate various popular texts, but also have rich teaching experience.

How to teach these recruits with no foundation...

In order to unify the password, Imam Zhang also used Greek letters to pronounce these Chinese characters to facilitate the recruits to recognize and read. Although this accent would be a bit strange, it would be enough to understand it and there was no need to expect it too high.

In the city, it's actually the same.

The areas controlled by the Purple Horde, except for the big cities like Constantinople, have no urban traditions in most places. Many cities that emerged with the development of the Khanate were actually war factories, responsible for the Khanate’s request.

, produces ordnance and other logistics supplies to meet the needs of the legion.

In the city, workshops replace farms and villages replace villages. Various other systems, including the arsenal of preserving weapons and the armed squares where soldiers are organized, are exactly the same. In management, the difference is not very big.

.

With this grassroots support, further organization will be much more convenient.
