The Song Dynasty inherited the establishment of [military] in the customary military important areas in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and the establishment of pit smelting, casting money, making salt, and herding horses to set up [supervision].
At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the government did this at the earliest to show that the region was different from the normal state capital, mainly focusing on military or smelting, and the configuration was slightly different.
However, with the passage of time, the army and the prison have gradually become the administrative planning surface of the state capital at the same level, and the county has become a normal administrative system and lost its particularity.
Su Yonglin simply changed all these organizational systems into normal state-level organizational systems, which is also a new unification of state administration.
After Su Yonglin divided the whole Sichuan-Sichuan region into three administrative regions according to the results of the discussion at the National Conference, and established administrative system to show new rule respectively.
Most of the four roads in the Southern Song Dynasty, namely Lizhou East Road, Lizhou West Road, Chengdufu Road and Tongchuan Road, were under the jurisdiction of the state governments, and Sichuan and Sichuan provinces were integrated into one.
The state capitals of Dazhou, Guizhou, Daning, Yun ‘an, Kuizhou, Shizhou, Zhongzhou, Liangshan, Wanzhou, Fuzhou, Qianzhou, Nanping and Chongqing under the jurisdiction of Kuizhou Road in the Southern Song Dynasty were incorporated into Chongqing.
In addition, the southern part of the area under the jurisdiction of Chengdufu Road, Tongchuanfu Road and Kuizhou Road, that is, Qianzhou, Fuzhou, Nanping, Luzhou, Changning, Xuzhou, Jiading and Lizhou, is divided into Yunnan-Guizhou provinces.
This new setting is the result of discussion at the national conference.
Su Yonglin mainly considered the special geographical position and environment in Sichuan and Sichuan, and realized that the powerful forces and centrifugal trends in Sichuan and Sichuan decided to divide Sichuan and Sichuan from the geographical position to cut off the possibility of independent support by people with ulterior motives.
The establishment of Chongqing directly under the central government separates the eastern mountainous areas of the central plain of Sichuan from the external passage, and the provinces of Sichuan are not unified with each other, so that Sichuan and Sichuan can be divided and ruled militarily and politically.
In this way, if there is no problem in our own department, we can ensure long-term stability in Sichuan and Sichuan.
However, the establishment of Yunnan-Guizhou province is the result of practical consideration.
At present, the state control is mainly in the north of Minjiang River, and the vast area in the south of Minjiang River is still under the actual control of the state. It still needs many twists and turns for the army to really go deep, let alone administrative power.
The establishment of Yunnan-Guizhou province is mainly to draw out the whole Jimi area and uncontrolled area completely. At present, we will storm Sichuan province and Chongqing municipality directly under the central government and digest these two new administrative regions into the rear of Yunnan-Guizhou province.
However, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces temporarily detained the region, but it is necessary to set up a provincial organizational system to show all the orthodoxy of the central government to Yunnan and Guizhou
You are a province, not a Jimi area. Even if it is actually a Jimi area, you are also a central province.
Take the birthright first and then talk about him.
Although Yunnan and Guizhou provinces do not have the possibility of direct administration at present, the whole leadership class should be set up, and a group of officials who are really familiar with the local actual situation should be trained for future management
As in the past, the official department of the imperial court and the organization department of the Central Committee of the Renaissance Association selected excellent, capable and experienced veterans to form an administrative team with new people who had just been selected for the exam, and went to Sichuan and Sichuan to shine in their posts.
A large number of novice and old people led them to their posts, while another group of carefully selected elite cadres formed the Yunnan-Guizhou provincial team.
Chengdu is the provincial seat of Sichuan province, Chongqing is the directly administered seat of Chongqing, and Yunnan-Guizhou province has temporarily decided that all teams and troops of Yunnan-Guizhou provincial seat of Zunyi County, Zunyi Prefecture will go to the local office due to special circumstances.
This process has gone through several times, and China is familiar with it. It is not surprising, and there is no panic. Everything seems so orderly according to the process.
The administrative problems were handed over to the official department of the imperial court and the organization department of the Renaissance Association. Su Yonglin, together with the Privy Council, the General Staff Headquarters and the Central Military Department, called a military meeting to study the military problems in Sichuan and Sichuan, and finally determined the importance of the establishment of the Sichuan and Sichuan Corps.
Chapter 1291 Army corps
The government decided to divide Sichuan and Sichuan into three parts by administration, while the military was completely unified.
Due to the complex ethnic situation in the south of Minjiang River, Dali and Southeast Asia, including China, will have practical significance for the establishment and long-term operation goal of Sichuan-Sichuan Corps in Dali and Southeast Asia in the future.
The future goal of Su Haisheng and his command of Qilu Corps is that Jiang Liangping will lead Hexi Corps to forge ahead in the western regions, Tubo and Qiangtang regions, and there will be a unified and complete military war against the military forces of all ethnic groups in this region.
The ultimate goal is to seize the western border defense line and establish enough buffer zones to protect densely populated areas.
These two regiments, with 200,000 troops, are the main maintenance force of the western border of the future empire, the national barrier, and more importantly, it is important for Central Asia to enhance its influence and cannot stay in Sichuan and Sichuan for a long time.
At the same time, the future missions of Henan Corps and Jiangxi Corps in Jiangnan area are mainly responsible for maintaining the military in the southeast coastal mountainous area and Lingnan area, ensuring the stability and unshakable of Jiangnan area, and also developing and managing South Vietnam area.
In this case, Sichuan and Sichuan Corps is of great significance.
In the future, the headquarters and defense zones of Sichuan-Sichuan Corps should be stationed in local and some key military areas along the Minjiang River, and the main force should be responsible for deterring and maintaining the stability of Yunnan-Guizhou Province, but any military conflict crisis should be attacked immediately.
Later, Su Yonglin arranged for the Ministry of Finance to attend the meeting and let the Ministry of Finance attend the meeting to discuss the necessity of establishing the Sichuan-Sichuan Corps.
The former army of Sichuan and Sichuan Corps has already had seven corps, namely Henan Corps, Hebei Corps, Yanyun Corps, Qilu Corps, Liaodong Corps, Hexi Corps and Jiangxi Corps. If it is listed, it will be the first corps.
It is not a simple matter for the imperial court to allocate funds to raise soldiers.
Youjun has a higher salary. A soldier receives salary and welfare, and there are many other supporting military benefits directly. It is still considerable to raise a corps.
If we want to increase the quota of soldiers in a corps, we need the proportion of financial high-military appropriation
Of course, there are many problems and difficulties in finance, which is obvious.
However, in the Privy Council, Sun Yi directly pointed out that the Yellow River Project will be completed soon, which will reduce a large part of the financial expenditure, and with the recovery of agricultural production in the Yellow River flooded area, the future financial revenue will continue to rise rather than cut.
After the financial completion, the government can spend a lot of money to help the country raise troops.
They have already talked a lot about the necessity of Sichuan-Sichuan Corps, and then the General Staff Headquarters joined in to talk about it, and then the Military Department joined in to talk about it.
It wasn’t long before Lin Jingchun, who had just returned to Zhongdu to report on his work, was planning to attend the meeting in this stall again. He was naturally a little upset, but in the face of this situation, he knew that the Ministry of Finance also had to allocate the money.
"It’s not easy for the imperial court to make money. Once the army takes action, the money will flow out like running water. You don’t feel bad about me. I also feel bad about the Sichuan-Sichuan Corps. I don’t object, but your ministries should also make the auditors do their best. Don’t spend money or I will never let you feel better at the end of the year."
Lin Jingchun, this is not a threat. At the end of the threat, the central government decided to build the first corps, namely the Sichuan and Sichuan Corps
Su Yonglin asked the Privy Council and the Fuxing Military Department to make preparatory work in advance, and asked these two departments to make preparations and come up with a plan on military personnel issues.
Then Su Yonglin adjusted and prepared for another aspect of army building.
The problem of military designation
For a long time, the corps-level titles of the army have always been the titles of the areas where the corps was established.
And the higher-level corps titles can be traced back to the period when the Guangfu Army formed some titles, such as Xuanjia Army, Tianxing Army, Wu Yijun and so on.
At the level of division, brigade and battalion, the serial number has been adopted, which has no symbolic significance and is convenient for statistics.
Su Yonglin had the idea of changing the regional serial number into the digital serial number from a long time ago. Compared with the regional serial number, the digital serial number has no symbolic significance, and the symbolism of the regional serial number will produce regional consciousness rather than national consciousness.
However, at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Su Yonglin didn’t have much time to take care of these things. All along, it has been arranged according to the usual practice, but now the country is about to unify, and many things should be changed.
The fact is not only that Su Yonglin has such a view, but also that some people in the Privy Council and the Central Military Department of the Renaissance Association have given regional names, which may arouse the regional consciousness of the military department, which is not conducive to the formation of national consciousness and military harmony
Sun Yi addressed this issue in his report to Su Yonglin.
Not only that, the Privy Council has also put forward some interesting bills.
For example, the recruitment of new recruits, the assessment and distribution of new recruits, and so on, will be put under the disposal of the Privy Council of the Central Committee, and national recruitment centers and boot camps will be set up in all central and directly administered regions of Zhongdu.
This worker originally belonged to the Privy Council, but limited to the actual situation, it was put into practice in the name of the Privy Council to train the recruits in the corps under the jurisdiction of the logistics department of each corps.
Generally speaking, it is the Privy Council that orders the Corps to recruit soldiers, and the Corps is stationed in the area to carry out recruitment operations. After recruiting a certain number of recruits, the Corps is responsible for training, selection and assessment, and the Privy Council is responsible for military expenditures.
The advantage of this is that it is convenient for the various corps to replenish their troops quickly and nearby. It is of practical significance to do so during the frequent wars in the past
However, with the stability of the country and the great improvement of traffic conditions in various places, there are also problems of regionalization in various corps and headquarters, which makes more and more people feel that this is not a good idea.
The first to realize this problem was the organization of the Renaissance Association of the Corps Headquarters.
They found that more and more new soldiers in a corps came from the same area because of objective factors.
Although this can make it easier for soldiers to unite, it is also easy to cause some fellow villagers to hold groups with each other in the military department, and there is a significant distance between comrades in other areas.
Contradictions are nothing to highlight, but if this situation continues to develop, I am afraid there will be risks in this respect, which is not conducive to the great unity of the army
This situation attracted the attention of the military and Su Yonglin after being reported to the military.
