In this regard, Maeda Toshiya was mistaken.

After this edict was issued a year ago, it was quickly obtained by the Black Water secret agent, and then transmitted back to Daqin through secret channels and handed over to Xiao Ruxun.

After Xiao Ruxun read it, he kept this edict in the small box at his desk, and took it out to see if he had anything to do, so as to ensure that he would not forget about Japan because he was too busy.

Now that the first phase of the Battle of Banshu is over, the second phase is in full swing.

However, from the unfolding of the second stage, to the chaos of the third stage, to the intervention of the fourth stage, to the control of the fifth stage, and finally to the final stage of land reform, this is a process.

There are not two years but a year and a half, and it is not something that can be done in a hurry.

Xiao Ruxun decided to transfer the army of the Qinglong Battalion back, leaving only the troops of the Xuanwu Battalion in the local area to be guarded separately, and let the land reform officials go deep into the local area to prepare to subvert the Tusi regime at any time.

More than a year has passed since the last small mention of them, and the Tokugawa clan seems to be a lot more honest and realizes the huge gap with Daqin, so they continue to bury their heads in developing themselves.

But on the Toyotomi side, the emperor is still called the emperor internally, and the Toyotomi retainers still bring up the insulting edict every time they meet.

At present, the excuse for the war is very sufficient, and there is no need to think too much about it, leaving aside the edict for the time being, how to get other reasons, anyway, there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, but before the war, Xiao Ruxun plans to complete the reorganization of the army.

On the Japanese side, the grasshoppers after the autumn can't reach a few days anyway, Wu Weizhong's army is enough to deter them, they can't make big waves, taking advantage of the fact that the overall situation in the southwest has not been completely rolled out, and the Japanese war has not started, Xiao Ruxun decided to solve the problem of the army.

The original seven-battalion system no longer seems to be applicable today.

The number of troops is constantly increasing, and now the number of troops recruited by the Qin army before the founding of the country and the recruits recruited after the founding of the country has exceeded 700,000, and there is still a gap of 300,000 from the number of 1 million troops stipulated by Xiao Ruxun, so there is no hurry.

What is anxious is that the establishment of the seven battalions is suitable for the Zhennan Army of Burma, but it is no longer applicable to the Daqin Army, the number of troops in each battalion is too large, and Xiao Ruxun himself is not at ease.

Therefore, he decided to split and expand the seven battalions and reorganize them into 30 new armies, of which there were three cavalry corps and five naval divisions, and the rest were field armies.

The names of the original seven battalions continued to be used, and 23 new army numbers were added to them, and each field army and cavalry corps maintained the 30,000-strong establishment of the earliest Burmese Zhennan Army, while the naval division army maintained the establishment of 20,000 people, which belonged to different regions.

In addition, with the absolute elite 150,000 Praetorian Guards directly under the command of the emperor himself, a total of one million regular troops.

At the army level, there are seven levels of division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad, and eight corps at and above the army level.

Northwest Corps, Southwest Corps, Liaodong Corps, Southeast Corps, Lingnan Corps, Guanzhong Corps, Gyeonggi Corps and Navy Jiaolong Corps.

The jurisdiction of the Northwest Corps is only in Gansu, the jurisdiction of the Southwest Corps includes Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Corps is in Liaodong, the jurisdiction of the Southeast Corps includes Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Fujian, the Lingnan Corps is stationed in Liangguang, the jurisdiction of the Guanzhong Corps is in Shaanxi, and the Gyeonggi Corps includes the Northwest of Shanxi and Shandong.

Since the current strength is not complete, it is not yet time to complete the garrison task, and several cavalry corps will be added in the future, but the preliminary planning of each military defense area is like this-

The Northwest Corps garrisoned five corps, four field corps and one cavalry corps.

The Guanzhong Corps garrisoned two field armies.

The Gyeonggi Corps garrisoned six field armies and one cavalry corps, plus 150,000 Janissaries and one naval division corps, for a total of eight corps and supernumerary Praetorian Guards.

The Southwestern Corps garrisoned three field armies.

The Liaodong Corps garrisoned two field corps and one cavalry corps, a total of three corps.

The Southeastern Corps garrisoned two field armies.

The Lingnan Corps garrisoned two field armies.

Burma is garrisoned by a field army, which is an independent army directly under the central government, and is not under the control of the corps.

Then, in addition to one naval division army directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Gyeonggi Corps, the remaining four naval divisions formed the Jiaolong Corps of the Great Qin Navy, which was stationed in four naval bases, one in Zhejiang, one in Guangdong, one in Burma, and one in Luzon.

The Gyeonggi Corps is the strongest, on the one hand, it is the reason why the emperor needs to master the strongest and most elite army in the country, and on the other hand, it is also considering the future Northern Expedition, Xiao Ruxun has the possibility of driving the expedition in person, so the strongest army will be concentrated here.

The Northwest Corps is the strongest outside of the Gyeonggi Corps, as it will undertake important missions in the future to advance into the Western Regions, recapture the Hetao, and the Northern Expedition to the grasslands.

The Guanzhong Corps will undertake more defense and support tasks, so the number of people in the Northern Corps is the smallest, but the task is not light, the future Northern Expedition will begin, Guanzhong will become a logistics base, and the location is important.

Needless to say, the Liaodong Corps naturally had a mixture of Mongol and Jurchen forces, and the task of marching into Nuer Gandusi and occupying Sakhalin Island in the future was theirs, and the vast snowfield was a battlefield for cavalry galloping.

In the future, the Southwest Corps will be mainly responsible for land reform and stability maintenance in the southwest region, and it is also important to exterminate the remnants of the Tusi forces, and it is also important to protect the new immigrants.

The main task of the Southeast Corps is to defend the territory and build and cooperate with the navy to implement Xiao Ruxun's plan to open up the southeast islands, and one of the islands in the southeast region will be counted as one by one, including the largest Taiwan Island, Xiao Ruxun wants to immigrate on the island of Taiwan and formally establish rule, and the task of the Southeast Corps is very heavy.

The Lingnan Corps is responsible for garrisoning Liangguang, the place where Emperor Gao is far away and communicating with Nanyang, and will also undertake some construction tasks, of course, it is also very important to protect the northern Han immigrants who will immigrate here in the future, and help them build new homes together and firmly grasp this place.

The Jiaolong Corps undertakes all maritime combat missions, firmly controls the South China Sea and the coastal waters of Myanmar, and strictly guards against any natives or outsiders who dare to challenge Daqin's influence in the local area.

In addition to this, the main reason why Burma garrisoned field armies was to defend against the Mughal Empire.

Now that there has been commercial exchanges between Myanmar and the Mughals, this is the news brought by Chen Xie, who has been stationed in Myanmar for a long time to take care of Xiao Ruxun's family, so Xiao Ruxun must also guard against the possibility of war with the Mughals in the future.

After all, the current Mughal is in a period of strong rise, Akbar is not dead, his son and grandson are not easy to deal with, any unified centralized empire is not easy to deal with, and it must not be underestimated.

These armies are all centrally organized and are not under the jurisdiction of local governments, which only have the right to mobilize police and government officials, but not the army.

At present, the number of troops in the country is not so large, and more are still recruiting and training, and it will take at least five years to fully implement this reorganization plan, and five years is neither a long nor a short time, which is within the acceptable range of Xiao Ruxun.

The reorganization began slowly, and the appointment of officers could also begin.

The establishment of the seven battalions was split up, the troops of the seven battalions were broken up and reorganized, and the leading officers of the various armies were also transferred to different posts according to their existing military exploits to command the new army.

This task was handed over to the Ministry of War to arrange from June of the first year of Longwu, and now the specific list has been almost prepared, the meritorious veterans have been promoted to the commanders of the corps, and the second-class ones have become the commanders of the first army, and the extremely outstanding newcomers can begin to serve as corresponding officers in the rest of the armies.

Xiao Ruxun plans to first form his own Central Praetorian Guard, and select the best soldiers from each army to form the Central Praetorian Guard, which is directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, with the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness, and will also undertake the most severe combat missions.

In the future Northern Expedition to the grassland, the absolute main force is the Central Praetorian Guard, so the number of cavalry of the Central Praetorian Guard must be guaranteed, and the reason why there are only three cavalry corps in the other armies is because Xiao Ruxun wants to maintain a cavalry establishment of 60,000 in the Praetorian Guard.

In the future, the cavalry of the Central Praetorian Guard will be the strongest cavalry in the whole of Great Qin.
