In order to take Pingnan Prefecture as soon as possible and avoid giving the enemy a respite, Lin Ziran clearly gave Liang Chenglei an order, asking him to boldly lead the troops to continue to the north and directly enter Pingnan Prefecture, and gave Liang Chenglei a letter that he would urge the ordnance and logistics departments to ensure the supply of materials for the attacking troops.

At the same time, he also told Liang Chenglei that now that the supply of materials is difficult, and he also hopes that the front-line troops can save ammunition and avoid waste.

Lin Ziran ordered the troops to continue to advance to Pingnanzhou, which was also in line with the strategic plan at that time, when the battle of Zhenbeicheng was planned, it was to annihilate the main force of the enemy army in Zhenbeicheng in one fell swoop, and lay the foundation for the follow-up march to quickly pacify Pingnanzhou.

Now that the Battle of Zhenbeicheng has been successfully completed, it is naturally impossible to stop.

Otherwise, if the pace stops for a month or two, the ghost knows what will happen to Pingnan Prefecture, maybe the reinforcements from Bei'an Prefecture will be able to resist Xu Su, and together with the remaining main forces of Pingnan Prefecture, if they accumulate heavy troops in a city along the Jinghe River, it will be a battle similar to the Battle of Zhenbeicheng.

This is not in line with Lin Ziran's strategic intention to rapidly advance Pingnan Prefecture and divide the northern states.

When Liang Chenglei continued to lead the army north, Lin Ziran also made strategic adjustments to the troops in the Jingzhou area, abolished the temporary strategic command organization of the Jingzhou Front, and formally reorganized the original organization into the First Army Corps of the Daheng Imperial Army, and appointed Liang Chenglei as the commander of the First Army Corps, and could not promote Liang Chenglei to Shangqing

This was also the first official legion establishment of the Lin Dynasty of the Great Heng Empire.

According to the tradition of the Daheng people, the corps does not belong to a fixed establishment, but belongs to a similar theater establishment, with the purpose of being responsible for a certain regional campaign and a certain war, so the troop establishment is not fixed, and it is temporarily attached to the Third Army, the Fourth Army, the Seventh Army, the Second Cavalry Army, the Third Artillery Brigade, and the Fourth Artillery Brigade.

At the same time, Lin Ziran ordered the Sixth Army, the Third Cavalry Corps, and the Second Artillery Brigade to be the second corps to be responsible for the war in the northeast direction, and at the same time, the 12th Army, which was reorganized earlier, was also dropped into the second corps to serve as the strategic reserve of the corps.

The commander of the Second Army Corps was promoted from Ye Keming, the former commander of the Sixth Army, to Zhongqing, and at the same time promoted Ye Keming to the secretary of the army.

The establishment of two corps was to cope with the continuous expansion of the territory in the course of the Northern Expedition, from a single Jingzhou theater to the Northeast Campaign and the northern Jinghe theater, and the two offensive directions were each responsible for the command organs of the two corps, so as to avoid disjointed and contradictory commands.

After initially sorting out the attacks in these two directions, Lin Ziran also began to dispatch troops to reinforce Zisheng Prefecture and Quyang Prefecture.

At present, there is only one Fifth Army on the first line of Zishengzhou, and there is only one Eighth Army on the first line of Quyang Prefecture.

In the rear of these two states, the Ninth Army was deployed as a strategic reserve, and to be honest, such a force was still too thin, let alone attacking, even the defense was more difficult.

Now that Jingzhou has opened up the situation, Lin Ziran naturally needs to increase the number of troops in Zisheng Prefecture and Quyang Prefecture, so that a big hole will be pierced in the central hinterland.

To this end, he transferred the 13th Army, which had been reorganized earlier, to the front line of Zishengzhou through the railway, and assisted the Fifth Army in deploying the northern part of Zishengzhou.

This can also free up the hands of the Ninth Army to concentrate on the front line of the Luo River, and at the same time be responsible for the defense of Luo Haicheng, the estuary of the Luo River.

After the 13th Army was transferred to reinforce Zishengzhou, Lin Ziran also officially ordered the establishment of the Third Army Corps, which temporarily had the Fifth Army, the newly organized Fifth Artillery Brigade and the newly reinforced 13th Army, responsible for the regional affairs of Zishengzhou, and at the same time shouldered the strategic task of going north to the east of Nanhu Prefecture and the west of Pingnan Prefecture.

Wu Dajiang served as the commander of the Third Army Corps and was promoted to the rank of Army Chief

At the same time, the Fourth Army Corps was set up to temporarily administer the Second Army, the Ninth Army, and the First Artillery Brigade, which was responsible for the defense of Nanhai Prefecture and Quyang Prefecture, and at the same time, shouldered part of the tasks in the western part of Nanhu Prefecture and the eastern part of Northwest Prefecture.

Mu Hongkang, commander of the Second Army, was transferred to the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, and at the same time was promoted to the rank of secretary of the army.

He also ordered the establishment of the Fifth Army Corps, which governed the Tenth Army and the Eleventh Army, stationed in the south of Ningyu Prefecture and Zhongluo Prefecture, and guarded against the Kingdom of Tanna and Kasi Kingdom in the south.

He also ordered the establishment of the Sixth Army Corps, which governed the First Army and the First Cavalry Army, which was responsible for the defense of the northern part of Zhongluo Prefecture and shouldered the heavy task of advancing into the Northwest Prefecture.

At the same time, the Jingzhou Garrison Headquarters was established in Jingzhou, which had jurisdiction over the Eighth Army, three newly reorganized armies, the 14th, 15th, and 16th armies, and the newly established Sixth Artillery Brigade.

The Jingzhou Garrison Command, which is a confidant of Lin Ziran, a cavalry general from the camp school, and Song You Shangqing is the commander.

In addition, the very special status of the Guards has also changed, the Guards have just been expanded from the garrison division to the Guards not long ago, but this time Lin Ziran took advantage of the establishment of the Corps, once again upgraded the Guards Corps, the Guards Army was expanded to the Guards Corps, and Zhang Hanqiu, who was a descendant of the generals and had just been transferred to the Guards Commander, served as the commander of the Guards Corps.

Subsequently, each of the six legions was responsible for fighting in one direction, with the Jingzhou Garrison Command acting as a strategic mobile force in the center, plus a Guards Corps to defend the royal family and the ground combat troops, with a total of eight corps.

And the above-mentioned troops are already most of the ground regular army units of the Lin Dynasty of the Great Heng Empire, plus some of the garrison troops, they constitute the regular army of the entire Great Heng Empire.

In addition to the special Guards Corps, the army had a total of 16 corps, 3 cavalry corps, 6 artillery brigades, and a number of independent garrison regiments.

Each army is a standard establishment army, with three infantry divisions, one cavalry division, one field heavy artillery regiment, and one military garrison regiment, with a full strength of about 60,000 troops.

The three cavalry corps are three cavalry divisions and one cavalry artillery regiment under the jurisdiction of each cavalry corps, with a strength of about 28,000 troops.

The establishment of the six artillery brigades is somewhat complicated, mainly artillery brigades established by army units, and they are equipped with different artillery pieces according to different operational areas, the strength of the enemy's forces, and so on, and at the same time, the specific establishment is also somewhat different.

Therefore, there is a difference in the artillery establishment of each brigade, after all, it also bears the name of an artillery regiment, but it is equipped with 75 mm caliber artillery, which can reach more than 50 guns, but if it is equipped with major caliber artillery, then it is impossible to maintain such a large number of artillery.

For example, the Second Artillery Brigade has more than 100 artillery pieces of 100 mm caliber or more, but the Sixth Artillery Brigade has only 50 artillery pieces under its jurisdiction, a gap of more than double the number.
