If it weren't for the incident of Yanmen Pass, maybe Chen Xu wouldn't be so anxious to stretch out his hand to the army, after all, the army is too sensitive, and a careless mistake will put him in a dilemma.

In particular, under the military system of Daqin, which relied on military merits to stimulate soldiers to work hard and was effective, a rash overthrow of the whole army would inevitably arouse fierce opposition from the military, and there would be huge resistance even in the three provinces and six ministries.

But Chen Xu also believed that the emperor would be able to see the benefits of this reform and the disadvantages of the current Great Qin army, but this kind of reform must be planned very completely and in detail, after all, his own set of theories is too advanced, and when the time comes, the military and the officials of the three provinces and six ministries must be able to understand it clearly.

And since it is going to be changed, Chen Xu decided to do it in one go this time and completely overturn the Great Qin army system.

First of all, it is necessary to prepare for the four major theaters and the central garrison area.

The Central Garrison District, which is responsible for the security of Xianyang and the Inner History Mansion, is based on the guards and soldiers stationed in Jingyang, Gaoling, and Zhiyang, and the soldiers stationed in Siguan, plus the 20,000 lieutenants stationed in Xianyang City, and is reorganized into four central garrison divisions, under the jurisdiction of 20 garrison regiments, recruiting the youngest and bravest soldiers, equipped with the best weapons, and responsible for protecting the security of Guanzhong and Xianyang.

In addition, Xianyang City also has a forbidden army of less than 10,000 people, but the combat effectiveness is bursting, called the Guard Forbidden Army, every soldier in it is a warrior who has experienced a hundred battles, the predecessor is called the Garrison Army, which was originally established by King Qin Zhao, and after Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, the garrison was reorganized into the current Guard Forbidden Army.

Wei Wei directly belongs to the Shaofu, but the Shaofu Zhao Wei has no right to transfer, officers at all levels directly obey the orders of the first emperor, see the soldiers to act, the period, Yulin, Qianniu three guards all belong to the Wei Wei Forbidden Army, specifically responsible for the security of the palace and the royal family, this Wei Wei Forbidden Army Chen Xu can not move, but it can still be changed in the pattern and name, the name is changed to the Royal Praetorian Guard, under the jurisdiction of a division and five regiments, weapons and equipment are naturally the best.

In addition, there is one of the most mysterious weapons in the palace, called Xuanwuwei, there are only five hundred people, and only one person is protected, that is the first emperor, where the emperor goes, this group of people will follow him, the emperor will be within ten zhang of his entourage, and Xuanwuwei will be blocked by Xuanwuwei without permission, and Xuanwuwei Chen Xu doesn't know how powerful it is until now, but according to the original water gentle injury, you have basically received special and systematic martial arts training, not as simple as ordinary masters.

Xuanwu Wei Chen Xu couldn't touch it, and he didn't even plan to move the establishment and name, this was the emperor's forbiddenness, and if he moved, he would break his legs.

The pattern of the central garrison area is like this, the central garrison division is responsible for the security of Guanzhong and Xianyang City, the imperial guard is responsible for the security of the imperial palace, and the Xuanwu guard is responsible for the security of the emperor, protecting the core power center of Great Qin at all levels.

The Eastern Theater is responsible for the direction of eastern Liao, with the current Wang Li's northern army as the mainstay, setting up 20,000 main battle troops and 10,000 auxiliary troops, with the army as the formation, under the jurisdiction of two main battle cavalry divisions, one auxiliary division, a total of 15 cavalry regiments, the military headquarters is located in Juyong Pass, with the pass along Yanshan Mountain of the Great Wall of Yan in the northeast as the garrison, responsible for the security of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu and the five counties of Liaoguo and the Liao State of Daqin, and the defense is still Donghu and Korea.

The northern theater is responsible for the direction of the grassland, or Wang Li's northern army is the mainstay, with 20,000 main battle troops and 10,000 auxiliary troops, with the army system, under the jurisdiction of two main battle cavalry divisions and an auxiliary division, the pattern is exactly the same as that of the eastern theater, the military headquarters Yanmen Pass, with the passes along the Yinshan Mountain of the Great Wall of Zhao as the garrison, responsible for the security of the five counties of Daijun, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Shuofang, and guarding against the attacks of the Xiongnu and the grassland peoples.

The Southern Theater is responsible for the Lingnan Prefectures, and although Lingnan has almost been completed, the Yue people are actually very unsatisfied, and they need a large army to be stationed for a long time, and at the same time, they must also guard against the attacks and counteroffensives of the Yue people who have fled to Vietnam and other places, so it is not yet the time for disarmament and adjustment, but the army structure must be unified, and the new army such as the military headquarters and divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons must be set up.

The Western Theater was dominated by Meng Tian's 20,000-strong army, with the military headquarters located in Longxi, and the two main forces of Jiang Hu and Li Xin were restructured into two cavalry divisions, each with five cavalry regiments, one cavalry division retreating to Dunhuang and one stationed in Congling, and tens of thousands of auxiliary troops formed by Yueshi and the countries of the Western Regions were also restructured and formed into several corps with divisions and regiments as units, responsible for assisting in the defense of various parts of the Western Regions.

After the capture of the Western Regions, the necessity of Daqin to continue a large-scale attack to the west in the short term is not too large, and it is necessary to contact Western countries such as Dawan, Daxia and the Mauryan Dynasty through caravans and envoys, and slowly understand their respective strengths.

Therefore, at present, the Western Theater is the core of the entire Daqin army, and the 20,000 perennial garrisoned troops are not safe, so after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xu felt that he could recruit 10,000 volunteers in the country again to be stationed in the Longxi military camp, so that Meng Tian would have 20,000 auxiliary horsemen in his hands, and after strict training to improve his combat effectiveness, he would also reach the level of elite horsemen, and he could also change defenses and repair with the two armies of Jiang Hu and Li Xin, so as to ensure good combat effectiveness.

According to the current development trend of Daqin, with the continuous development of the economy, the continuous improvement of comprehensive national strength, weapons and equipment are also constantly updated, the main weapon of the infantry in the past, Chang Ge has basically withdrawn from the equipment sequence, the horse pawn is mainly saber and bow crossbow, and all weapons, including the standard bow and crossbow, have now begun to be replaced by steel, not only the range is longer and more powerful, but also durable and not easy to damage, greatly improving the combat ability of the soldiers. With the new leather armor and chain mail lined with steel sheets began to equip the army, the battlefield survivability of the soldiers has also been greatly improved, coupled with the mixed military rations, enamel tea jars and military kettle equipment, the living conditions of the soldiers have also been greatly improved, although at present, because of the production capacity can not let the whole army eat mixed military rations, with enamel tea jars and military kettles, but with the passage of time, the improvement of factory production capacity, these equipment will definitely be popularized in the army, become standard equipment.

Since the establishment of the Red Star Enamel Factory alone last year, the enamel production has made great progress, Chen Xu asked for the production of enamel pots, enamel tea jars, enamel military kettles have been developed and began to be equipped with Meng Tian's troops, but the enamel production process is more complicated, especially the military kettle is difficult to build, coupled with the long distance and transportation troubles, now more than a year has passed, Jiang Hu and Li Xin's two armies have only been equipped with one-third, but it is this third, Although it is thousands of miles away from the homeland, when Xianyang distributes these exquisite and practical equipment for free, many soldiers are excited to tears and choked with tears, feeling that they fought all the way to conquer the Western Regions, and then stationed in this windy, sand and bitter cold land to endure the torture is not in vain, the emperor still remembers them, and the people of Daqin also remember them, and they have not abandoned them.

For all people who are far away from their homeland, even a little care and comfort will be like a heart booster, so in ancient times there was a saying that family letters are worth ten thousand gold, and only people who have been away from their homeland for a long time will have a deep feeling of this mood.

In Chen Xu's army reform plan, dividing the national army into five theaters and carrying out a new system construction are still secondary, in fact, the main purpose is to carry out a thorough reform of the military service system under the Great Qin, adopt the two methods of combining China's compulsory military service system and the volunteer military service system in later generations, and adopt the method of selection to recruit soldiers, rather than everyone needs to participate in military service.

Everyone has the obligation to serve in the military and is not allowed to evade, but on top of the selection, the country must also have a strict system, and physical condition is a very important item, rather than a beard and eyebrows to distinguish by age.

And the age should also be restricted, the range from 17 to 60 years old is too broad, all the ordinary soldiers who are over 40 years old in the volunteer soldiers must be eliminated, and the same is true for the lieutenants and soldiers in various counties and counties, and even more youthful, 17 to 25 years old is the best, the service time is extended to two years, there is no need to fight on the border, after the end of the service, those who perform well and are willing to be volunteers can be transferred to the border as auxiliaries or main combat soldiers, in order to replace the old and frail or retired soldiers, and the family does not need to pay taxes during the service. This can stimulate the enthusiasm of civilians to join the army.

Because the reform planned by Chen Xu this time is almost pushed to the beginning, from the way of service to the military deployment to the military system to the appreciation rewards of soldiers and soldiers, etc., are all new settings, so the content is also very complicated, and Chen Xu needs to clarify everything in the same way.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and the sound of the maid's report came from outside the study, and the head of the guards who went to the Nanshan Annex, outside the city, came back.

Chen Xu came out, left Chen Yong and the ten musket team boys, and ordered everyone, including the maids and guards, to leave the backyard, and after everyone was gone, he swept over the eleven musket team boys standing in line with a serious expression and sharp eyes.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and a group of poor teenagers who were no more than fourteen years old at the beginning have all grown into half-sized boys, not only physically strong but also imposing, with a cold face and a straight gaze, and the order has a bit of killing momentum, and these teenagers have participated in the ambush battle in Hangu Pass three years ago, and many of them still have arrow wounds on their faces, and these scars remain on their bodies, which look even more powerful and domineering.
