"What are you talking about?" Xuanyuan Longfei was confused, he could still understand it in the front, but he didn't understand it in the back.

Zhou Congee smiled: "Just go back and manage the garrison well, you don't need to worry about this." ”

Xuanyuan Longfei wanted to say something, but Zhang Qiang nodded at him and said to him: "Reorganize the garrison army as soon as possible, the quality of the national garrison has declined somewhat, those militia elite units will be reorganized into the garrison as soon as possible, they have all experienced life and death, speed up the garrison of the three islands, I hope to see the garrison in place in every part of the country by the end of the year."

The fighting for the whole country is almost over, and it is time for the garrison to do its duty. The militias and garrison brigades in South-East Asia have not yet been integrated. As soon as possible, your garrison army is the reserve of the field army and an important pillar for maintaining domestic stability, and the tasks in the future will be even more arduous. ”

Xuanyuan Long Fei said: "Then Your Majesty, the garrison corps and garrison divisions we just discussed, I think they should be compiled, otherwise there are too many and it is difficult to manage." ”

Zhou Congee waved his hand, "Don't think about it, there will be no divisional establishment of the garrison army, and the corps is even more whimsical, in case that general has a rebellion, the strength of a garrison division can make a state erode, we have to send several field divisions to annihilate it, waste money, waste troops, it's not safe, didn't I tell you just now?" Corps, what do you want to do? Do Du Ge second? Let one person master the strength of a corps, then the Huaxia Kingdom will not turn him upside down. ”

Zhang Qiang continued Zhou Congee's words: "The garrison army will serve for three years, and after three years, some people will retire, and then replenish the troops from the recruit camp, the field army will serve for five years, and the field army will retire after five years, and the guards division will serve for eight years, but it will be graded, and the soldiers will retire in four years, and some soldiers will no longer be supplemented from the garrison and the field army, and will be recruited directly from the people, and the recruits will be trained for two years, and those with excellent grades within two years of service can be promoted to the guards, and those with bad grades will be transferred to the garrison, and the officers will be retired for eight years, and those who want to serve after eight years will be up to two years. After being transferred to serve in the field army, after being promoted, it is decided whether to stay in the post according to the rank and importance of the position, and the rest remain unchanged. ”

"This," Xuanyuan Longfei was really depressed, he wanted to expand the establishment of his garrison army, the garrison brigade he felt was too small, although the current garrison brigade had reached 4,500 people, the same as the previous field brigade establishment, but he still felt small, he wanted to command a larger team.

"Okay, let's go down, come up with a plan as soon as possible, don't prepare so many troops, the situation in the states will not allow you to come nonsense, those governors can take your life, there are too many people, they don't allocate military spending, you are not in vain, and there is that your garrison army has two-thirds of the military expenditure that needs to be allocated by the cabinet, and there are too many people, I will not approve it."

Zhou Congee said to Xuanyuan Longfei.

Xuanyuan Longfei reluctantly retreated.

The garrison army is under the control of the Ministry of War, the recruit battalion is under the control of the Ministry of War, the field army is under the control of the Ministry of Defense, and the Guards Division is under the control of the Guards Regiment, which belongs to the troops directly under His Majesty.

Because of the heavy casualties in the early stage of the war, the 4th Division of the Guards Division was dismantled, and part of it belonged to the Baghyalu Corps and part to the Merlinfish Corps.

Today, the Huaxia Army has 21 field divisions, and what they just discussed is that 18 divisions are stationed in various places, and each place is divided into several theaters of southeast, southwest, Southeast Asia, northwest, northeast, and the center, and the theater of operations on the sea, and the South China Sea is divided into a theater of operations, which is under the jurisdiction of Governor Mirin, and the jurisdiction is Luzon, Palawan, and Qiong Island, and others such as the Ryukyu Islands and Japanese islands are under the jurisdiction of the nearby Northeast Theater of Operations, and his garrison is nominally under the jurisdiction of the whole country, but the garrison on the island is under the direct jurisdiction of the governor, that is, nominally under his control. Actually, there is nothing to do with him.

Waiting for Xuanyuan Longfei to leave disappointed, Zhang Qiang and Zhou Congee began to discuss the purpose of Hong Hongxiu's visit, and now that Wei Wuji is in Southeast Asia, the three-person regime cannot be passed, so they can only be discussed by two people.

As for the others, Li Dingguo can discuss it, Xiao Fei should arrive, but there are some conspiracies involved here, the dark side, Zhang Qiang doesn't want too many people to know, so he doesn't call Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei is a bit upright, and the fewer people who know about these dark sides at the national level, the better, Zhang Qiang doesn't want the army to get involved.

"Hong Hongxiu's ambition is not dead, he still wants to come back." Zhang Qiang said.

Zhou Congee touched his chin, "So you sent him to Australia to fight Zheng Jing?" ”

"Yes, there is a Zheng Zhi on Luzon Island, there is a Zheng Keshuang on Gogong Island, Australia is too far away, I have no choice, now there is a Hong Hongxiu, just use him to contain Zheng Jing, not let Zheng Jing and the Dutch, British, and Spaniards get too close, that will not be good for us, Zheng Jing There are many Japanese there, let them fight each other, and use the Japanese to fight and die as much as possible."

"Hong Hongxiu is not a good stubble, what the hell, after several tribulations, his character has become more and more calm, and the city is as deep as his old son. It's not easy to deal with, in case it can't be controlled, he unites Zheng Jing, and Taixi people to fight against us, Zheng Keshuang is too upright to help much, we still have to face them, as the weapons they master are more and more advanced, our weapons are less and less dominant, our advantage is getting smaller and smaller, although our warships seem to be unsurpassable, but we can't take them completely lightly. Zhou Congee said.

"Well, we have to think of a way to make the two of them discord, and it is better to unite even if it is a union, and it is difficult to really unite."

"This has to be considered in the long run, Hong Hongxiu has not set up a banner now, and we have no way to provoke them." Zhou Congee asked worriedly.

"Well, I asked the Ministry of Military Intelligence to forge some Hong Hongxiu's letterheads, so that Zheng Zhi intercepted them, saying that Hong Hongxiu of the Ryukyu Kingdom wanted to help the Spaniards deal with them, starting with provoking Hong Hongxiu and Zheng Zhi, so that he had an estrangement from the Zheng family. Zheng Zhi is not easy to deal with now, Zheng Jing has never troubled him, just because Zheng Zhi is now strong, and the two of them have contact in private, and they are also called brothers. ”

"We can only do this first, when we solve the Qing Dynasty, turn around and clean up the Hong family and the Zheng family, but I think we have to clean up the Zheng family first, although it is farther away, but it is easier to clean up than the Hong family, and their strength is the weakest."

"Who will do it?" Zhang Qiang's eyes rolled around, "Let Zheng Keshuang go, let him send someone to sell Zheng Jing some Japanese, so that we can solve the problem of too many Japanese here, and we can also enhance some Zheng Jing's strength, in this case, can we still sell some Japanese to Zheng Zhi, these are good soldiers." If you come, you can fight, let them fight the Spaniards. Zhou Congee said with a smile.

Zhang Qiang smiled with satisfaction, "Well, this can deal with hundreds of thousands of Manchus, Han Army banner people, and also deal with the Japanese people in the territory, now we don't need them, just sell them to these three families, those vacated land can be sold to young people in China and those businessmen, let them farm, don't they like farming?" ”

Zhou Congee clapped his hands and said, "It's so good." Hahaha. ”
