Chapter 1266 – Tibet-Tang Ancient Path

Along with the new addition of 1.98 million reserve forces, Du Ruhui suggested establishing a military service department under the Privy Court to manage the reserve forces, surrendered soldiers, and soldier retirement; this would help to effectively manage it.

At the same time, in the Governor-General, Provincial Governor, Prefecture Governor, Prefects, and county magistrate offices, he suggested that they set up relevant military service divisions that would be directly managed by the Privy Court.

His proposal would solve the retirement problem of the soldiers and the reserve force management problem.

The 1.98 million troops disarmed this time and those removed from the past few reorganizations would undergo military training when needed under the organization of the local military service divisions.

Hence, as long as there were war needs, the Imperial Court would be able to gather two to three million trained soldiers and even experienced old soldiers to throw onto the battlefield.

Apart from Great Xia, no other dynasty had the foundations necessary to achieve that.

There was also another benefit to establishing the military service department – it would help to deal with batches of generals.

Based on the newest organization, each legion would remove one division, which meant that 99 Major Generals would lose their jobs.

Apart from Major Generals, there was a huge number of colonels, majors, and more that would have to retire.

Toward the basic soldiers, the Imperial Court could hand them a retirement sum to settle them down. However, these generals could not be treated as such and would need treatment corresponding to their ranks.

If not, who would be willing to risk their lives for the Empire?

Based on the plan, there were three ways to deal with retired generals. First, they could move them into the command headquarters, legion corps headquarters, legion department, division department, or regiment departments to work.

Especially the latter four, which were the main remodeling targets of this round and needed a batch of generals.

Secondly, they could enter the military service department or the various divisions in the offices.

This was also a good idea. Although it was far from the frontlines, they would still be in the service and would have a lot of power to a certain extent.

Thirdly, they could arrange them to enter the Privy Court, Grand Council, or the various law and order organizations.

This had higher demands on the administrative abilities of the generals and was not something that normal generals could succeed at. However, if they were good at it, it would be a huge injection of new blood into the Imperial Court.

These three points could basically settle the generals that were released from service. If one could not find a suitable appointment from these three places, one could only say that the general himself was not suitable.
