Chapter 636: The New Establishment of the Broken Army
Early in the morning of August 12, 433 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the Taiyuan Hall of the imperial palace of Canglong City, Liu Sheng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, sat on the emperor's throne in the main hall, and there was a curtain behind Liu Sheng, and the Empress Dowager Zhao was sitting behind the curtain at this time, and more than 100 court officials were arranged on both sides of the main hall.
"Something's up! Nothing to retreat from! A eunuch standing next to Liu Sheng, the Son of Heaven, shouted in a sharp voice.
At this time, Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, came out and said: "Empress Dowager, Emperor, Liu Ji, the governor of the north, led the army to defeat the Dawan State that invaded our Western Regions of the Great Jin Dynasty, and forced the Dawan Kingdom to cede the land of ten provinces and assigned it to the Western Regions Protectorate of our Great Jin Dynasty, and before that, the Northern Governor Liu Ji led his troops to defeat the Lu army that invaded the southeast of our Great Jin Dynasty, and recaptured the eight states occupied by the Lu State, these eight states originally belonged to the Jiao State, the Xun State, the Gu State and the Lai State, all four of which are subject countries of our Great Jin, Liu Ji, the governor of the northern capital, can be said to have made an immortal contribution to the Great Jin, and the minister asked the queen mother and the emperor to issue an edict to summon Liu Ji, the governor of the north, to lead troops into the court and accept the reward from the imperial court! ”
After Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the military department, said these words, several important ministers of the imperial court, such as Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the ministry, came out one after another, said some similar things, and asked the Empress Dowager Zhao and Liu Sheng, the son of heaven, to issue an order to let Liu Ji enter the court and be entitled.
Hearing that Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, and other important ministers of the imperial court, all said in unison that they wanted Liu Ji to bring troops to Canglong City, Liu Sheng's face was very ugly, but Liu Sheng knew that he had no way to prevent Liu Ji from entering the court, and once Liu Ji led his troops to Canglong City, he basically couldn't keep his throne.
Empress Dowager Zhao immediately said loudly: "Liu Ji, the governor of the northern capital, is indeed in Sheji, since all the Aiqing have agreed to Liu Ji's entry into the court, then let Liu Ji lead the army to Canglong City!" As for how to reward Liu Ji, Dou Taiwei, Yang Taiwei, Wang Taiwei, Zhao Taiwei, Sun Taiwei, Zheng Taiwei, the six of you will first draw up a charter, and after Liu Ji enters Beijing, you will consult Liu Ji's opinion! ”
At the end of the early dynasty, Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the military department, Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Zhihuan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Boran, the chief lieutenant of the criminal department, Sun Mingtao, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Works, Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Households, Han Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Wu Ziyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Zhang Shunran, the secretary of the Ministry of Crime, Chen Sikai, the general of the hussars, Xiao Su, the general of the hussars, He Guangzong, and the general of the hussars, Li Hong, did not return to their own mansions, but all came to the mansion of the chief lieutenant of the military department, Dou Yan.
In a conference room, Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, said in a deep voice: "It seems that the news is true, the queen mother and the emperor are indeed ready to take the initiative to cede the throne to Liu Ji, otherwise the queen mother will not be so happy to let Liu Ji lead troops into Beijing today!" ”
The hussar general Xiao Su immediately said: "That's not what we mean, this will save us a lot of trouble, at least we don't have to bear the name of a rebel!" ”
Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, shook his head and said, "But in that case, our thirteenth family's dragon skills will be gone!" ”
At this time, Zhao Boran, the captain of the Criminal Department, said in a gloomy tone: "No poison, no husband, it is better for us to ...... directly before Liu Ji enters Beijing."
Before Zhao Boran, the captain of the Criminal Department, finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dou Yan, the captain of the Ministry of War, "We can't be in a hurry, Liu Ji has not yet made a specific statement, no one knows how Liu Ji plans to do it, or wait for Liu Ji to lead the troops into Beijing, let's act again!" ”
When the imperial court summoned Liu Ji to lead troops into Beijing, when it was sent to Liu Ji, Liu Ji had already returned to the Northern Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Shangyuan City, and he was working with many civil ministers and military generals under his command to formulate a new establishment of the Broken Army.
Originally, each brigade of the eight major regiments, whether it was cavalry or infantry, had five battalions, and each battalion had four divisions, each with about 2,000 people, and the entire brigade had about 40,000 people.
However, with the continuous expansion of the Broken Army, the previous establishment was no longer suitable, so under the advice of Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Bai Qi and others, Liu Ji reformulated the establishment of the Broken Army.
In the new establishment of the Broken Capture Army formulated by Liu Ji, five people were one team, ten people were one team, 50 people were one team, 100 people were one tun, 500 people were one song, 2,000 people were one group, 8,000 people were one battalion, 40,000 people were one brigade, 200,000 people were one guard, and each regiment had several guards.
For example, five brigades under one guard may be composed of two cavalry brigades and three infantry brigades, or three cavalry brigades and two infantry brigades, or other combinations, of course, there are also cavalry guards composed entirely of cavalry, and infantry guards composed entirely of infantry.
The eight legions of the Broken Army will become the ten major legions, of which the names of the Western Regions Legion, the Western Frontier Legion, the Grassland Legion, the Beiting Legion and the Eastern Barbarian Legion have not changed, and the names of the Native Legion, the Guards Legion and the Xichang Legion will be canceled, and Liu Ji named the other five legions after the Chinese Divine Beast, namely the Blue Dragon Legion, the White Tiger Legion, the Vermilion Bird Legion, the Xuanwu Legion and the Qilin Legion.
According to Liu Ji's plan, the Western Regions Legion, the Western Frontier Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion will be stationed in the thirty states of the Western Regions Protectorate, of which the Western Regions Legion and the Western Frontier Legion will each have ten guards, each of which will be composed of two cavalry brigades and three infantry brigades, and the Blue Dragon Legion will have eight guards, each of which will be composed of three cavalry brigades and two infantry brigades.
In addition, each state of the Western Regions Protectorate will also set up a number of garrison battalions, and eventually the garrison of the thirty states of the Western Regions Protectorate will reach 1.4 million, so that the total strength of the Broken Army in the entire Western Regions Protectorate will be as high as 7 million people, with the Western Regions Legion, the Western Frontier Legion, the Blue Dragon Legion and the garrison troops of the thirty states, it is enough to deal with the threat from the Dawan Kingdom, the Cheshi Country and the Sabbath Country.
The commander of the Western Regions Legion is Lian Po, the commander of the Western Frontier Legion is Xue Rengui, and the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion is Wang Qian.
The Prairie Legion and the Beiting Legion will continue to be stationed in the twenty-five states of the Beiting Protectorate, and both legions will have ten guards, of which the ten guards of the Prairie Legion are composed of five cavalry brigades, and the ten guards of the Beiting Legion are composed of three cavalry brigades and two infantry brigades.
A number of garrison battalions will also be formed in each state of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the garrison troops of the twenty-five states can reach about one million people, plus the Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion, the total strength of the Broken Army in the entire Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate will reach five million people, which is enough to deter the Xiongnu, Khitan and other powerful clans on the grassland.
Liu Ji appointed Li Mu as the commander of the Grassland Legion, and Di Qing as the commander of the Beiting Legion.
The Eastern Barbarian Army is still stationed in the 100,000 mountains, and the territory of the Broken Army in the 100,000 Mountains has almost doubled compared with before, and the Broken Army has seized about one million square kilometers of territory in the central province of the Qingyi Nationality, as well as a population of almost three million.
After Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western Qing Yi tribe, led two million Qing Yi troops to attack Huazhou, he was attacked head-on by the Eastern Barbarian Army and the three elite troops of the trap camp, the white pole soldiers, and the Wei Wushu, and finally the western king of the Qing Yi tribe, Wumeng Ergu, had to withdraw from Huazhou with less than 900,000 Qing Yi troops.
Then the Eastern Barbarian Army and the White Pole Soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue, and attacked the central province of the Qingyi Nationality, all the way like a bamboo, seizing more than one million square kilometers of land in the Central Province of the Qingyi Nationality, if it were not for the sudden invasion of the southeast by the Lu State, Liu Ji issued an order to the Eastern Barbarian Army and the White Pole Soldiers to stop continuing to attack the Qingyi Nationality, maybe at this time the entire central province of the Qingyi Nationality had to be captured by the Eastern Barbarian Army and the White Pole Soldiers.
In order to appease the anger of the Broken Army, the Qing Yi took the initiative to negotiate an armistice with the Broken Army, and signed an armistice agreement, ceding more than one million square kilometers of land occupied by the Broken Army in the central province of the Qing Yi Nationality to the Broken Army, and the Qing Yi Nationality will also marry the two most beautiful princesses of the Qing Yi Nationality, Wumeng Isa and Wumeng, to Liu Ji, but the Qing Yi people only won the status of equal wives for Wumeng Isa and Wumeng Gemeng.
The territory of more than one million square kilometers in the central province of the Qingyi nationality, Liu Ji was not directly included in Huazhou, but a new state was formed, named Xianzhou, and based on Huazhou and Xianzhou, the Dongban Protectorate was formed, which was also the third Metropolitan Protectorate established by Liu Ji.
You must know that the Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate can be described as two behemoths, and Liu Ji's establishment of the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate is tantamount to revealing his peep at the vast 100,000 mountains.
The Dongban Legion stationed in the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate was expanded by Liu Ji into ten guards, all of which were infantry guards composed of five infantry brigades, and the commander of the Dongban Legion was Su Lie.
The White Tiger Legion, the Vermilion Legion, the Xuanwu Legion and the Qilin Legion all had eight guards, each of which consisted of two cavalry brigades and three infantry brigades, of which the White Tiger Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion were stationed in the seven southeastern states of the Great Jin Dynasty and the eight states seized from the Lu State, the Xuanwu Legion was stationed in the five southwestern states of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Qilin Legion was stationed in Qianzhou, Pizhou, Qinzhou, Xiangzhou, Fuzhou, Meizhou and Yuzhou.
The commander of the White Tiger Legion is Bai Qi, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion is Wang Ben, the commander of the Xuanwu Legion is Zhang Han, and the commander of the Qilin Legion is Le Yi.
In the states where the White Tiger Legion, the Vermilion Bird Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, and the Qilin Legion were stationed, Liu Ji was also preparing to form several garrison battalions, with a total strength of more than 1.6 million.
In addition to the ten major legions, the Broken Army also has ten elite troops that are separately organized, namely the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Congyi, the Modao Soldiers, the Trap Camp, the Beifu Soldiers, the Wei Wushu, the White Pole Soldiers and the Qin Ruishi.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ten Legions, Liu Ji transferred many soldiers from these ten elite troops and let them join the Ten Legions.
However, these ten elite troops still maintain a huge establishment, Liu Ji summoned the 30,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Army, 30,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, 40,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and 40,000 White Horse Congyi in the system, so that the scale of the Tiger Ben Army, Xuanjia Soldiers, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and White Horse Congyi reached 120,000, and the extra tens of thousands of elite cavalry were all transferred to the cavalry units of various legions.
The strength of the Modao soldiers was 250,000, the strength of the trapped camp was 400,000, the strength of the Beifu soldiers was 500,000, the strength of the Wei Wushu was 800,000, the strength of the white pole soldiers was 450,000, the strength of Qin Ruishi was 350,000, and the total strength of the ten elite troops exceeded 3 million.
Lu Bu was the commander of the Tiger Army, Li Cunxiao was the commander of the Xuanjia soldiers, Yang Zaixing was the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Yuwen Chengdu was the commander of the White Horse Congyi, Dian Wei was the commander of the Modao soldiers, Gao Shun was the commander of the trapped camp, Lu Xun was appointed as the commander of the Beifu soldiers, Wei Xiaokuan was the commander of Wei Wushu, Zu Ti was the commander of the white pole soldiers, and Jiang Wei was the commander of Qin Ruishi.
In the system, there are fifty groups of Han Dynasty Tiger Army, fifty groups of Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, fifty groups of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, fifty groups of White Horse Congyi, fifty groups of Tang Dynasty Mo Sword Soldiers, fifty groups of trapped camp soldiers, Fifty groups of Eastern Jin Dynasty Beifu soldiers, Sixty groups of Wei State soldiers, sixty groups of Ming Dynasty white pole soldiers and sixty groups of Qin State Rui soldiers, who were not summoned by Liu Ji, these five hundred and fifty groups of elite soldiers were kept by Liu Ji just in case.
Of the ten elite troops of the Broken Army, only the White Pole Soldiers were stationed in the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate, plus the ten guards of the Eastern Barbarian Legion, and the Broken Army deployed an army of 2.45 million in the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate.
The other nine elite troops will be temporarily stationed in various states of the Great Jin Dynasty and used as mobile troops.
If according to Liu Ji's reorganization plan, the ten major legions of the Broken Army, the ten elite troops, and the garrison troops of various states will all add up, and the astonishing scale of 25 million people.
Today, the Western Regions Protectorate has a population of about 90 million, the Beiting Protectorate has a population of about 40 million, the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate has a population of about 10 million, and the 19 states of the Great Jin Dynasty controlled by the Breaker Army and the eight prefectures seized from the Lu State add up to 260 million people, all of which are counted, and the population of the territory under the command of the Breaker Army has reached 400 million.
Although the size of the army of 25 million is really a bit frightening, according to the population base controlled by the Broken Army, the size of the army of 25 million is still acceptable, so the plan formulated by Liu Ji for the reorganization of the Broken Army was not opposed by the generals under his command.
Don't look at the Broken Capture Army now seems to be invincible in the world, but there are too many enemies around the Broken Army, not to mention the rest, just one Lu State is enough for the Broken Army to have a headache, you must know that the population of the Lu State is more than the population of the Broken Army's current territory, if you count the Dawan Kingdom and the Xiongnu and Khitan on the grassland, the size of the Broken Army is not much.
