During the war, military issues are the most important and the starting point and the end point of all measures.

The Shu Wangfu wants to control the central Sichuan region in northern Sichuan, and the projection of military power is still in the vanguard. At the beginning of the meeting, Shu Guoping, on behalf of the General Staff and the Directorate, took the lead in putting forward the military strategic plan of the royal government in northern and central Sichuan and the corresponding military deployment.

The two departments of the Ministry of Counsel and Supervision held that since the northern and central Sichuan regions are theaters, the organizational establishment of the theater must first meet the needs of operations. Therefore, they proposed the establishment of the North Sichuan Central Military and Political Committee as the highest decision-making body of the Shu Wangfu in the two provinces and one prefecture in northern Sichuan, and unified command of the military and political organs in northern Sichuan, and the North Sichuan Military and Political Committee was divided into two groups, civil affairs and military, each with its own emphasis.

The two ministries also believed that the emperor had issued a strict decree to recapture Bazhou, so the Sichuan government would inevitably make military arrangements in the near future and begin to encircle and suppress the local tyrants. The caravan occupied Yilong County, only one hundred and fifty miles away from Bazhou City. If the caravan is involved in the battle to recover Bazhou, it is far from enough to rely on the more than 1,000 troops of the third battalion of the caravan to attack, and it must be immediately expanded and reinforcements must be sent. In addition, after the autumn grain harvest, the counties of Pengzhou and Quang An Prefecture mentioned in their submissions that small groups of local thugs had plundered the countryside, and the establishment of village protection teams in Shunqing and Baoning provinces was also a top priority. To this end, they proposed the following plans for the expansion of the armed forces:

The 3rd Battalion of the Caravan Guard, which had made great achievements, was expanded into the 4th Regiment of the Caravan, under the jurisdiction of the 3rd, 8th, 9th and 10th Battalions (the numbers of the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Battalions had been given to the Third Regiment of Song Zhenzong and He Youyi). Regiment Commander Chen Youfu, Deputy Regiment Commander He Qiukou (concurrently), Supervisor Luo Jingyun, Deputy Supervisor Li Sixian (concurrently).

The third, eighth, and ninth battalions were expanded by Lin Yan's three battalions and one company, Xu Shoucai's one battalion and four companies, and Sun Deren's three battalions and four companies respectively. The 10th Battalion was transferred from Chengdu. The firearms and artillery units under the command of the original three battalions and one company will be expanded accordingly, and will be readjusted within the regimental structure after the equipment is fully equipped.

The 4th Regiment of the Caravan Guard is a mobile field unit of the North Sichuan Military and Political Commission, which is responsible for the offensive tasks in the main combat direction. The regimental headquarters is located in Xinzheng Dam, and the main operational direction at this stage is the direction of Xinzheng Dam, Yilong County, Bazhou, and the direction of Yingshan County and Pengzhou.

Set up the Shun Zhuang Protection Brigade, and set up the Zhuang Protection Brigade in all the prefectures and counties of Shun Khanh Province and the southern part of Baoning Province and Langzhong County. Captain He Qiukou, Deputy Captain He Yongnian, Supervisor Luo Jingyun (concurrently), First Deputy Supervisor Liu Hongting (concurrently), Deputy Supervisor Li Sixian.

The forward headquarters of the corps was located in Qu County, and He Qiukou was in charge. Liu Sangen's independent battalion of the Tongchuan Prefecture Guardian Brigade was transferred from Tongchuan Prefecture to Sanhui Town, north of Qu County, and was renamed the first basic battalion of the Shun Zhuangzhuang Corps.

The rear headquarters of the corps was set up in Xinzheng Dam, with He Yongnian in charge, commanding the three counties of Nanfang County, Langzhong County and Yilong County, and accepting the unified command of the Fourth Regiment of the Caravan. Hejia Zhuang Ding, who fought in Nanfang County and Yilong County, and the third battalion and three companies of Wang Xingwu's caravan protection team were reorganized into the second basic battalion of the Shun Protection Zhuang Corps, and the internal number was the independent second battalion of the Shu Wangfu Zhuang Protection Team, and Wang Xingwu served as the battalion commander. The task of the 2nd Independent Battalion was to hold the area around Jincheng Walled, Xinzheng Dam and Beiyuan Temple, and provide a solid base for the future Bazhou raid of the 3rd Regiment of the caravan.

The five counties in the south of Tongchuan are covered by the headquarters of Gan Liangchen, the general army of northern Sichuan, and the Jia Deng joint department of the Chu army in the northeast, so there is little external military threat in the short term. After Liu Sangen's only battalion was transferred, only the county brigades were strengthened, and mobile field units such as basic battalions were not set up for the time being. Li Chongwen, the captain and supervisor of Tongchuan Prefecture, Wang Daniu, the deputy captain, and Tian Qian, the deputy supervisor.

In the plan of the two departments, in addition to the expansion and transfer of the northern Sichuan team, there are also quite a lot of troops from the base camp Chengdu to reinforce the northern Sichuan front, which can be said to have made a bloody investment.

The 1st Independent Baggage Battalion under the command of Wei Gan and Li Yongjing all went to the front line, and commanded all the former people to undertake the task of logistics and transportation of baggage from Huaikou Town in Tuojiang to the front-line combat area.

The training cavalry platoon, which had completed training at the Songlin Mountain base, had received the war horses of Akishi and had been expanded into a company. They will draw out three platoons to form a cavalry company to participate in the battle, the number is the first company of the first battalion of the cavalry of the caravan, the battalion commander is Song Zhensi, and the main and deputy cavalry company commanders are the brothers Gao Zhicong and Gao Zhiming.

He Chengjun's artillery company has already received 12 head guns, expanded into two companies of artillery battalions, and will soon complete its training and leave for northern Sichuan.

The Tianquan Tusi Cavalry Battalion stationed at the north gate of Chengdu will also be transferred to northern Sichuan to participate in the war;

In addition to the above-mentioned troops, there is also a newly formed team that will be pushed to the front line of the war.

In the reorganization of Songlin Mountain, known as the "eldest son of the Shu Domain", the largest king-owned enterprise in the Shu Prince's Mansion - Chengdu Left Guard, there have been more than 60 officers and more than 190 general flags, small flags and soldiers distributed to various units through intensive training.

In the completion of the "Ding Ding into the team, the army in the people; After the reform goal of the left guards, about 1,500 people, displaced people, and village households were selected into the two teams of the commercial villages. Five hundred of them were taken to Luzhou by Song Zhenzong and He Youyi, and supplemented to the Third Regiment of the Caravan and the Luzhou Huzhuang Corps; 400 men were replenished to one regiment and one battalion, mixed with the remaining two companies of the first battalion, and the first battalion was kept at full strength; The remaining 600 or so men were mixed with the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the old unit to form the 10th Battalion of the Caravan.

The battalion commander of the 10th battalion of the caravan is the actual guard of the left guard, Yin Jialin, the commander of the main guard and the deputy battalion commander are temporarily vacant, and the deputy supervisor is Zhu Pingjin's brother, Zhu Pingji, the general of Zhenguo.

The original 1st Battalion and 2nd Company were renamed the 1st Company of the 10th Battalion. This unit was formed from the old second company headquarters and two platoons in Bifengxia. With this company, even if the other units of the 10th Battalion sprinkled on the battlefield, this straw army would not collapse; With Zhu Pingqi, a serious Shu clan as the supervising army, the soldiers of the palace who like to make a name for themselves do not dare to be blatant.

……

In the process of formulating the plan, Shu Guoping and Sun Hong may have been encouraged by the prince's opinion on speeding up the strengthening of military strength, and they also added their own suggestions, mainly four pieces: intelligence, military stations, firearms, and naval forces.

In order to strengthen intelligence gathering in the northern Sichuan theater, Liu Mingsheng, director of the intelligence bureau, has twice reported to Zhu Pingjin and requested the establishment of intelligence stations in various counties in northern Sichuan, but Zhu Pingjin was shot dead on the grounds of cost and efficiency.

Zhu Pingjin's viewpoint is that there must be specialized intelligence agencies and full-time intelligence personnel, but intelligence gathering cannot rely solely on specialized agencies and personnel. All the subordinate personnel of the Shu Wangfu, Wangzhuang, Wangdian, the army, and the community are all sources of intelligence, and even those ordinary villagers are also sources of intelligence, which is the people's war in the intelligence war.

The will of the prince is the guide to the actions of the subordinates. On the basis of the last two reports, the General Staff Headquarters and the Intelligence and Communications Bureau have made additions and deletions, clarified the intelligence functions of the royal organs at all levels, developed and trained part-time intelligence officers among the law enforcement personnel within Wangzhuang as intelligence sources at the grassroots level, and set up intelligence staff officers as full-time military intelligence personnel in various brigades and regiment-level combat units. In order to deal with the local rioters in the northern Sichuan theater, the General Staff and the Intelligence Bureau also proposed to set up a unit dispatched by the Intelligence and Communications Bureau in Xinzheng Dam, which would be jointly responsible for the North Sichuan Military and Political Commission and the Intelligence Bureau.

This is not the first time that the issue of the military station has been submitted to Zhu Pingjin. Zhu Pingjin's reasons for veto in the past were the same as those of the intelligence station. In Zhu Pingjin's planning, Wang Zhuang is a unit that integrates military and civilian. Wangzhuang is not only a first-class agricultural economic organization, but also a first-class military organization, and will become a first-class political organization in the future. The General Staff comprehended the spirit of Zhu Pingjian's instructions, so this time they proposed only two points for the construction of the military station: one point was in Jintang County, which undertook the task of water transportation from Chengdu to Luzhou and land transportation from Chengdu to northern Sichuan; The other point is at Xinzheng Dam, which undertakes the supply of materials for the garrison in northern Sichuan.

For the first time, the issue of firearms was formally raised by the two ministries of supervision. In the two battles of Tu Pass and Changping Mountain, the limited firearms unit played a huge role, even a decisive role. The practice of war made the two departments of the prison department and the talented public realize that the original prince insisted on using firearms despite public opinion, and he was indeed ahead of the times.

The biggest advantage of firearms is that they are powerful, and they are either killed or injured after being hit; Second, the training is simple, and the recruits can go to the battlefield in a month and a half; Third, the continuous combat effectiveness is very strong, and the soldiers can fire continuously and are not easy to fatigue; Fourth, the firearm is equipped with a bayonet, which is no different from the use of a short spear, which can be fired from a distance and stabbed at a close distance, greatly increasing its power. This time, the two departments involved in the supervision opened their mouths and asked Zhu Pingjin to order the Firearms Bureau to produce firearms in large quantities, at least one platoon of firearms for each company, one company for one or two tiger squat guns, and one battalion for four seven-pound copper cannons. Later, with the increase of firearms, efforts were made to equip all the regiments of the caravan with firearms.

The issue of the navy was also raised for the first time by the two ministries of supervision and supervision. The caravan sailor was currently extremely rudimentary, with only five rowing boats and a tiger cannon in total, with less than 100 men and a company after platoon. Pengshan's estuary navy had four rowing boats, and He Gui and Wang Zuyi served as the chief and deputy company commanders respectively; There is a rowing boat in Jiading Prefecture, which cooperates with the Jiangkou tax customs and acts as a water police while training. Tan Sigui's fourth battalion captured some civilian ships from the hands of Ma Yingxuan in Luzhou, which are now mainly used for transportation, and have not formed a naval army that can fight. In addition, there are dozens of grain ships of the royal palace on the Minjiang River, and there are also long-term requisitioned civilian ships in Jiading Prefecture, Yazhou and Jintang County, which are now used to transport personnel and materials to Luzhou. The idea of the two departments was to integrate these water forces to form several large water forces.

The plan for the expansion of the army of the two headquarters is very complete, and in addition to stipulating northern Sichuan, it also takes into account other areas of Shudi.

In the central Sichuan region, because the two counties of Rong County and Weiyuan in Jiading Prefecture and the two counties of Fushun and Longchang in Xuzhou Prefecture are separated from the Jingyan County of Chengdu Prefecture and the Benzhou Prefecture, the construction of the four county brigades has not improved so far, so it is suggested that the formation and command of the brigades of the four counties should be temporarily assigned to the Luzhou Brigade of the Zhuangzhuang Brigade, and in the future, they will form a new brigade of the Zhuangzhuang Brigade together with the four prefectures and counties east of the Longquan Mountains such as Jianzhou, Ziyang County, Zixian County, and Neijiang County according to the situation.

The situation in western Sichuan and the areas near Chengdu is generally stable, but if the problems of Qiongzhou and Meizhou are not resolved, the forces in Chengdu cannot be weakened. Therefore, the 1st and 2nd regimental command structures of the caravan and the 1st and 2nd battalions should remain in the Left Guard and Songlin Mountain. The first regiment concurrently serves as the Chengdu Huzhuang Corps, and the second regiment concurrently serves as the Qiongmei Huzhuang Corps. The planned combat direction of the two regiments was Qiong and Meizhou. After completing the recruitment of the Dong Bu Division, Jian Shen Nida will be combined with the Dong Bu Independent Company remaining in Songlin Mountain to form an independent Dong Bu Tusi Battalion. It's just that the number of recruits has not yet been reported.

In the southern Sichuan region, the Yajia Guardian Brigade and the Luzhou Guardian Brigade did not make major adjustments, and the Luzhou Guardian Brigade was concurrently served by the Third Regiment. Not making big adjustments doesn't mean nothing to do. Their most urgent task at present is to expand the army and train the troops......

The plan of the two headquarters is based on a plan based on a big fight. What are the negative effects of this plan once it is approved? Will it make the Shu Mansion a military politics?

Luo Yuhong was upset.
