Chapter 518 Military Reorganization (Fourth update, please vote)

"Now, does everyone have any opinions?"

Shao's eyes swept across the long table, lingering on the face of the snake wizard.

"I think..."

The leader of the wolf tribe wanted to speak, but Shao interrupted him directly.

"The wolf tribe gave up its power. This is the order of the God of Fire. Do you have any doubts?"

The leader of the wolf tribe shut up.

Shao looked at the snake wizard.

"I have no opinion."

The snake wizard could only express his opinion.

He agreed, not because of Shao, but because of the God of Fire.

The action of the God of Fire just now was the most clear support for Shao, so he didn't want to struggle on this matter anymore.

The leading wolf wizard was taken away, the snake wizard also compromised, and the rest of the opponents could only remain silent.

The status of the God of Fire in the Fire Tribe Alliance is unparalleled. If he clearly supports something, not many people dare to oppose it.

"Then, raise your hands if you agree."

Shao said, and he took the lead in extending his right hand. His students followed closely. At one time, most of them raised their hands, and the remaining few were forced to raise their hands one after another.

"The first item is passed. Now let's look at the second item."

Shao waved his hand on the animal skin scroll, and a check mark appeared behind the first item.

"Next, let's discuss the second item of this meeting, which is the proposal to upgrade the status of the Mother Money Tribe and the Contract Tribe to the Spirit Department. Raise your hands if you agree."

Shao took the lead in raising his hand again. This time, not only did his students immediately agree, but the others also raised their hands immediately.

These two tribes, like the Codex Tribe, were created by the God of Fire, so they had no reason to object.

Shao checked his beast skin scroll again, then raised his head, his expression becoming more serious.

"The third item is about the reorganization of the Fire Tribe Alliance's army. This part is more complicated. Zhao, you come and talk about it."

The student Shao named was from the Sun Tribe. As Shao's assistant, he also attended today's board meeting.

"Yes."

Zhao stood up and answered straight, then took the beast skin scroll in his hand and began to talk.

"The division of responsibilities between witches and leaders has always been vague. Roughly speaking, witches are responsible for faith and some administrative choices, while leaders are responsible for administrative implementation and military warfare."

He paused as Shao habitually, giving the witches and leaders a chance to react before continuing.

"But there is a more serious problem with this division of responsibilities. Once a war breaks out, the leaders who rush to the front lines will not be able to implement administrative work. In this case, witches will have to take on administrative work as well, which will lead to administrative deviation and confusion of government orders."

The witches nodded. They had all faced this situation.

"In addition, the Fire Tribe Alliance exists in the form of a multi-tribe alliance. As the number of members increases, the political environment becomes more and more complicated. The division of responsibilities among the existing shamans and leaders becomes increasingly confusing. Each tribe acts independently, which brings great inconvenience to the overall management of the alliance."

Several shamans frowned. These words sounded like an attempt to seize power.

Zhao did not stop explaining because of the frowns of several witches. He continued, "Under this situation, the existing division of responsibilities between witches and chiefs is becoming increasingly inappropriate for the current situation. In view of this, the witches put forward this proposal at this meeting.

First: confirm the absolute power of witches in faith and administration.

Second: change the chiefs, remove the existing chief system, and transform The chief is a professional military commander.

Third: Change the name of the chief to the general, such as the leader of the Wolf Tribe is changed to Wolf General, the leader of the Spring Tribe is changed to Spring General, etc.

Fourth: Reorganize the army internally, break the inherent military model with a single tribe as the main body, and form a mixed army. The

composition of soldiers in the army cannot exceed 30% from the same tribe as the military chief; the officers of all levels in the army cannot exceed 30% from the same tribe as the military chief.

Fifth: Implement the appointment system of the chief officer and the lieutenant-level military officer council. All military officers need to be uniformly assessed and selected, and cannot be appointed privately by each tribe.

Sixth: Promote the principle of employment in different places. The chief military officer cannot serve in the place where his own tribe is located. Each city needs to exchange chief officers.

Seventh: Fire Department The chief of the tribe is the head of all the military officers. He is not called a general, but a marshal. He leads the entire Fire Tribe Alliance and is responsible for wartime command, officer training, officer selection, and military appointments.

The above is the full content of this military reorganization. If the witches and leaders have any objections, Zhao will explain it to you. "

After Zhao finished speaking, he bowed and stood behind Shao, waiting for everyone to ask questions.

But no one asked questions for a while, not because they didn't have any questions or agreed, but because the change was too big and they couldn't accept it for a while.

The tribe has always been managed by witches and leaders. If it is changed according to this content, first of all, the leader will no longer participate in the management of the tribe, and will only be responsible for war in the future.

The chief's name was gone, he became a general, and the witch became the chief of faith and administration.

That was fine, after all, it was a transfer from the left hand to the right hand, and it was still in their own hands, but the mixed army, the people in the army, the orders of the exchange of military chiefs, wouldn't it completely disrupt the power of each tribe?

"Well, if our wolf tribe is dispersed, then the advantage of speed can't be brought into play."

The leader of the wolf tribe frowned and said.

He didn't want to say it, but if it was changed to a mixed army, then they couldn't hunt freely on the grassland. The change was too big.

Shao nodded and said, "You are right, but the Wolf Tribe has no right to speak at today's meeting. I don't want to repeat it for the third time, otherwise I will send you to the altar, understand?"

The Wolf Tribe leader blinked his narrow eyes twice, and finally leaned back in his chair helplessly, giving up the struggle completely.

"I don't agree."

The second person to jump out was the leader of the Mi tribe. Like the Wolf tribe, they were mainly cavalry. If they were to change into a mixed army, the speed would drop too much, and he was not used to commanding.

"Reason."

Shao said.

"The leader of the Wolf tribe just said it."

The leader of the Mi tribe said.

Shao nodded and said, "The speed advantage cannot be brought into play, but the overall strength will be improved, the ability to fight tough battles will be enhanced, the ability to build military positions will also be enhanced, and this will be conducive to supply work."

Shao gave a reason, which made sense, but it did not satisfy the leader of the Mi tribe.

"The Mi tribe supports it."

The one sitting next to the leader of the Mi tribe suddenly spoke up.

This made the leader of the Mi tribe startled, and then he looked over in surprise, and nodded at him and said: "According to the rules of the Mi tribe, as the witch of the Mi tribe, I have the right to make the final decision."

The leader of the Mi tribe was speechless. This was naked power, leaving him no room at all.

"I want to ask."

The snake witch raised his hand to ask for the floor, and Shao raised his hand and motioned him to speak.

"My people form an army in wartime and serve the people in peacetime. In this case, do my people have to serve the people in other cities?"

Everyone listened and nodded.

At this time, except for the team of the Fire Tribe, there was no standing army. They were all soldiers in wartime and served the people when they were not fighting. If this problem is not solved, the above problems cannot be achieved.

"Zhao, tell me."

Shao said to Zhao behind him.

Zhao nodded and said, "After everyone agrees to the military reorganization, the army will be organized with the city as the unit. For example, Huodu will have Huodu Army, Xi'an City will have Xi'an Army, Donghai City will have Donghai Army, etc. These armies will become standing armies and completely disband."

"Disband?"

The snake witch asked in surprise.

Disbandment in this era is very difficult. The yield of yellow millet is low, and it depends on the large population and vast land. Once the tribe is disbanded, there may be problems.

"There are not many disbanded troops. It is tentatively planned that each city will have 3,000 troops and Huodu will have 5,000."

Shao gave his own idea.

17,000 warriors disbanded, considering the population of the entire alliance of more than 300,000, it is still possible.

Everyone pondered in silence. It was a good method, but in this way, the control of each tribe over the army would be reduced to a minimum.

"I had this idea based on this defection. If such a policy had been implemented earlier, there would not be such a big turmoil in Donghai City."

Shao said sincerely.

Of course, he did not make changes just based on this incident. It can be said that he did this entirely to accommodate the armed forces of various tribes into the alliance.

Whether it was rebellion or the death of the eighth generation witch, they were all excuses for him to promote this matter.

"I agree."

The newly appointed Niu Wu spoke first without waiting for Shao to let everyone vote.

"In this way, such a tragedy will not happen again. Moreover, everyone is exchanging protection. I don't think anyone will be careless."

Niu Wu said.

Shao nodded in praise and said, "If he doesn't do his best, there will be military law waiting for him."

"But the number of troops sent by each tribe is small, and there is still enough power in the tribe to do something. For example, our spiritual tribe has more than 10,000 people. Three thousand city guards are not enough to pose a threat to us."

The Star Witch said.

"From now on, knives and guns are banned in the city. All weapons must be handed over to the alliance, and weapons must not be possessed without reason."

Shao said.

Now this has been implemented in the Fire City. Since the incident with the Eighth Generation Witch, Shao has had people collect the weapons of the entire Fire City and seal them all in the armory.

"What should we do when we go out? There are wild beasts and ferocious beasts outside, and hunting also requires weapons."

The leader of the Snake Tribe said with a frown.

"Apply for it and the local garrison will distribute it. It doesn't matter outside the city, but private possession of weapons is not allowed inside the city."

Shao said resolutely.

Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect Shao to collect all the weapons. This is a bit difficult for the tribesmen.

With the habits formed over the years, how can they feel safe without knives and guns?

"If the tribesmen are unwilling..."

Shao interrupted the leader of the Snake Tribe before he finished speaking.

"Then why are you still a leader?"

Faced with Shao's questioning, the leader of the Snake Tribe was speechless for a moment.

In this meeting, Shao's aggressiveness was far beyond their expectations, and what he was going to do was also something that no one had expected.

For a moment, the whole venue was silent.
