Chapter 279 The Great Reorganization

Kaiyuan 2826 March (1129).

The first batch of recruits recruited after the establishment of the empire were trained and formally incorporated into active service.

After the major reorganization, the total strength of the navy and army has exceeded 120 million. Based on the treatment given to the regular army by the empire, this number has reached the limit that the empire can currently bear.

In this major reorganization, except for the Kaifeng Group Army, which was too far away and did not participate, the other five group armies and the Navy and Marine Corps have all undergone expansion.

The Kaifeng Group Army, which did not participate in the expansion, was renamed the Northwest Group Army. Its commander, Lieutenant General Sun Zheng, was mainly responsible for Qinfeng Road, Yongxing East Road and the Xixia Road that was about to be occupied.It governs the 22st, 29nd Army, 11nd-[-]th Army, a total of ten armies, [-] people.

The Hebei Group Army was split into the Taiyuan Group Army and the Wanping Group Army.

The commander of Taiyuan Group Army is Lieutenant General Lai Qingyun, who is mainly responsible for Hedong Road, Hebei West Road, Hebei East Road and the later Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Jin. He has jurisdiction over the 3rd Army, 30th to 45th Army, a total of 18 armies, and [-] people.

The commander of the Wanping Group Army is Lieutenant General Yue Fei, who is mainly responsible for Wanping Road (formerly Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road in the Liao Kingdom), Gaoli Road and the Liaoyang Road (Liaodong Peninsula) that will be captured soon.It has jurisdiction over the Fourth and Fifth Armies, the 46th-55th Armies, a total of twelve armies, and 13 people.

The Kaifeng Army was split into Shandong Army, Yingtian Army and Hangzhou Army.

The commander of the Shandong Group Army is Major General Chen Yu, who is mainly responsible for Shandong Road (formerly Jingdong East Road, Jingdong East Road and Damingfu). He has jurisdiction over the 56th-60th Army, with a total of five armies and more than 5 people.

These 5 people are basically new recruits, because Shandong Road can now be regarded as the hinterland of the inland. There are no external enemies and no internal invaders. Except for a little pressure from coastal defense, there is basically no need for strong troops, so this group army The scale of the army is small, and the army commander is also a young general.

Major General Zhang Shuye, commander of the Hangzhou Group Army.Mainly responsible for three coastal roads: Huainan East Road, Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road. It has jurisdiction over the 61st-70th Army, with a total of ten armies and 11 people.

The original intention of forming this army was basically the same as that of the Shandong Army. The Japanese country would soon be wiped out by Ke Lei and Han Shizhong. The East China Sea had become the inland sea of ​​the empire, and the roads along the East China Sea had become the hinterland. There was little defensive pressure, so the main allocation was for new soldiers.

After Zhang Shuye was arranged to become the commander of the Hangzhou Group Army, his troops expanded rapidly, but their combat effectiveness became lower. In addition to the group army becoming new recruits, his two sons Zhang Boxen and Zhang Boxiong were also transferred to the army. Tian group army.

The commander of the Yingtian Group Army is Lieutenant General Gan Ping. It basically has no jurisdiction except Gyeonggi Road. However, this group army does have the largest number of troops. It has jurisdiction over the 6th-9th Army, 13-16th Army, 71-80th Army, and a total of 20 An army of nearly [-] people.

The reason for reorganizing so many troops for the Yingtian Group Army was that Chen Xun planned to let Gan Ping be responsible for conquering all the inland roads, from Yingtian Prefecture from north to south, from east to west, to conquer the counties south of the Yellow River and the north and south of the Yangtze River Basin.

Except for Huainan West Road and Jiangnan East Road, which are surrounded by the Hangzhou Group Army and are in charge of Zhang Shuye, all the prefectures and counties in the Yangtze River Basin, including the Yangtze River tributary basins, are the targets of the Yingtian Group Army, including those of the Puppet Song Dynasty. Zhao Chen.

The Guangzhou Group Army was not split. As a group army stationed in the capital, the Guangzhou Group Army was expanded into fifteen armies, with jurisdiction over the 10th-12th Army, 17-21st Army, 81-87th Army, and more than 16 people.Mainly responsible for Guangnan East Road, Fujian Road, and Guangnan West Road.

It was very wasteful to station 16 people on three roads. Chen Xun did not let them idle and arranged for the Guangzhou Group Army to start looking for excuses to attack Dali and Yue Li Dynasty.

In addition to the expansion of the regular army into 87 corps, with a total strength of more than 95, the Ministry of Public Security of the Executive Yuan and the Mobilization Department under the Commander-in-Chief’s Office are also considered land services. The total number of public security forces and reserve forces exceeds 30, and As the regular army retires more and more, the numbers of these two units will continue to increase until a dynamic balance is reached.

During this reorganization, the scale of the navy's expansion is very small compared to that of the army.

The First Group Army was renamed the East China Sea Group Army, and its commander, Lieutenant General Ke Lei, was responsible for the waters north of Daliuqiu Island, including Daliuqiu Island, and had jurisdiction over the 1st to 10th Navy Corps, with 11 people and more than [-] warships.

The Second Army was renamed the South China Sea Army, and its commander, Lieutenant General Wang Yuan, was responsible for the waters south of Daliuqiu Island. It had jurisdiction over the 11th to 20th Navy armies, with 11 people and more than [-] warships.Although the number of warships of the East China Sea Group is similar to that of the South China Sea Group, its combat power is much worse than that of the South China Sea Group.

The new recruits reorganized this time were mainly sent to the East China Sea Group Army, because this group army will not have much war for a long time in the future, unless Ke Lei can discover the New World.

In addition to a relatively high proportion of veterans, the South China Sea Group Army also has a relatively large number of new warships.

The South China Sea Group Army will have a very heavy task in the future. In addition to conquering the South China Sea Island Countries and South Asian countries, there is also great immigration pressure in Nanzhanzhou. Fortunately, the South China Sea Group Army has the advantage of being close to the capital and will receive a lot of support in the future.

The Navy and Marine Corps were renamed the Amphibious Army and expanded into five corps. The commander, Lieutenant General Han Shizhong, was in charge of the 1st-5th Amphibious Corps, with more than 5 people.

The amphibious force is now mainly cooperating with the East China Sea Group Army to attack the Japanese country. After the situation in the Japanese country stabilizes, this army will be transferred south to attack the island countries in the South China Sea until it lands on Nanzhanzhou.

It is worth mentioning that the amphibious force now also has its own ships, more than [-] of them.Except for a small number of these ships, which are warships, the rest are armed transport ships.

With these ships, when the amphibious force needs to move in the future, it will not have to rely entirely on the navy, and it will also have the ability to move around.

After the general reorganization, Chen Xun truly resigned from his position in the army, and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces was only part-time.

The three-layer heavy armor that was tailor-made before has completely become a souvenir, and it is estimated that it will never be used again.

From now on, Chen Xun will no longer be needed even in maritime wars. The naval forces of the South China Sea countries are very weak. As far back as the Chenjiazhuang period, Chen Xun was able to suppress them, and now he is no match for them.

However, Nanzhanzhou and North and South America were still savages, and even in the past, the Navy's role was only the transportation captain.

Chen Xun could predict that he would be "trapped" in Guangzhou for a long time to come, reforming and improving the Chinese Empire's governing system, and providing a steady stream of logistical equipment for the troops charging forward.

I believe that with inexhaustible supplies and advanced and sophisticated equipment, the Chinese Empire's army will be invincible and invincible.

In early April, the first batch of equipment to support the Liao Kingdom was officially delivered to Xuanhua Mansion, including 20 spear heads, 30 bows and arrows, and [-] pieces of iron armor. This batch of equipment was basically sold half at cost and half given away. After entering the Liao Kingdom, under the supervision of Zhe Keqiu, the Liao army, which had obtained the equipment, withdrew its troops from Xixia territory as promised.

In addition to equipment, there are also five thousand kilograms of tea, five thousand kilograms of high-strength liquor, three thousand kilograms of white sugar and other daily necessities. The value of these materials is very high. They basically wiped out the savings of the Liao Kingdom and the wealth it collected in Xixia. clean.

I believe that with these weapons and luxury goods, these Khitans will inevitably plunder crazily after entering Central Asia in exchange for supplies from the empire.

In this way, Chen Xun's mission of cultivating a "pathfinder force" can be considered half completed.

After the Khitans beat Central Asia to pieces, and the imperial army intervenes as a savior, the resistance to rule will inevitably be reduced a lot.

　I'm very sorry to everyone. The progress of the following chapters will be very fast, and it's not much different from the outline.

　　No amount of explanation is useless, so I apologize to you book friends.

　　There are many wonderful places that I didn’t write down in detail, which I feel is a pity, but after all, I also have to eat properly.
