The above mentioned is Jiangxi Province, and then the Central Plains region.

After officially honoring Han Lin'er as the emperor and establishing the "Song Court". Zhang Shihua and other local powerful rebels recognized the Longfeng regime, and undoubtedly allowed Liu Futong to obtain the blessing of the super BUFF of "righteousness".

So much so that a month after he became the emperor, Liu Futong smoothly developed his forces into the chaotic Lianghuai region, and gradually integrated the large and small forces in the Lianghuai region. Even he was able to contact the mountain, east, river, and northern rebels, so that they all became the courtiers of the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor.

As a result, Liu Futong and Guide's answer to the loss of Badulu's offensive and defensive situation could not help but come to a complete reversal.

However, the answer is that Badulu, a famous general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, is also a fierce man. When he saw that if Liu Futong continued to develop like this, he would not be Liu Futong's opponent at all.

This guy actually took the risk of bypassing Liu Futong's northern defense line directly after Liu Futong supported Han Lin'er and called him the emperor Jianji, and when the local real power rebels in the world expressed their willingness to agree with the dragon and phoenix regime, making Liu Futong extremely complacent, he directly took the risk of bypassing Liu Futong's northern defense line, led the army to raid Bozhou, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and played a beheading operation against Liu Futong.

Then Liu Futong was miserable.

At this time, Liu Futong, who was complacent because he supported Han Lin'er as emperor and let himself be blessed by righteousness, never thought that Badulu would dare to play with him at the risk of being cut off from the back road.

Bozhou, as the capital, couldn't help but be answered, and Badulu went down with a drum.

Fortunately, Liu Futong was alert early, and fled south to Anfeng with the little emperor Han Lin'er, otherwise the beheading operation of Badulu would have been successful.

However, since the beheading operation was not successful later, it was obviously impossible for the lone army of Badulu to defend Bozhou City with enemies on all sides. Therefore, in the face of Liu Futong's counterattack, Badulu still failed.

Not only was Liu Futong blocked on Guide Road and couldn't move, but even the rear of He[] Nanfu Road, which was originally very stable, began to cause chaos.

So if you look at the world to evaluate, since the detachment of this Optimus Prime Hailiang was dismissed from his post and exiled and killed by someone falling into the well, the world's anti-Yuan rebels have really ushered in a second spring again.

And the reason why this is the case is naturally inseparable from the chaotic center of the Yuan Court.

After Totok's death, in order to seek the greatest interests for his own side, the Hama party and the crown prince, who were originally good brothers, also broke their heads in order to compete for the position of prime minister.

So much so that within half a year after he was dismissed, the right prime minister of Dayuan was replaced by three people. And today's right prime minister Ding Zhu is completely the product of the compromise between the two sides.

Because this Xiangye has always been in poor health, he has to lie on the hospital bed for almost half of the year.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to expect the current center of the Yuan court to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion at every turn, as it did before Tokhtar's death.

Therefore, in such a situation, in order to stabilize the locality, the central government can only delegate power to the local government again.

Anyway, now in the Central Plains region and the Huguang region that is about to be annexed by Zhang Shihua, as long as you can raise thousands of rebels and nominally express your willingness to submit to the Yuan court, then you will immediately be the local general of the Yuan court.

Of course, this method did not have much impact on Zhang Shihua.

Now the entire Huguang can fight against the Chu army, and only the group of toasts of the Xuanfu Division are left.

But after seeing the great strength displayed by the Chu army, this group of toasts will go crazy to obey the orders issued by the Yuan court center.

However, what is laughable is that those toasts who are cowering in Qiandi and can be regarded as strong soldiers do not show any hostile thoughts to Zhang Shihua. However, many hot-headed river thieves and mountain bandits in the Huguang area made a fuss beyond their strength, looking like they wanted to fight the Chu army to the end.

And for these things that are not long-sighted, Zhang Shihua naturally does not have any thoughts of mercy on his subordinates.

Therefore, in just a few months, on the Hunan side alone, Zhang Shihui, the generalissimo of the Marshal Mansion who controlled the Hunan Provincial Propaganda Division, broke through the cottage that tried to fish in troubled waters and killed a person's head.

……

In September, in the Huguang region and the land of Xiangjing under the rule of the Chu army, the autumn grain could not help but be put into the warehouse.

Therefore, the treasury of Da Chuna, which had been squandered due to the war, couldn't help but become much fuller after being replenished this time.

However, because Zhao Jian, Gao Kaida, and Zhao Yufu wanted to lead the army south, the grain that had just been put into the warehouse would not last long in the granary, and most of it would be spent again.

But this is also the reason why there is no way, Lingnan, that is, Guangxi Liangjiang Province, is in the rear of the Chu army. If Zhang Shihua uses troops relative to other regions in the future, this place will obviously have to be taken.

Therefore, on the third day of the ninth lunar month, Zhao Jian and others, who officially received Zhang Shihua's order to send troops, couldn't help but take the intelligence of the Liangjiang Province region collected by the secret guard Yu Junda, and led the 30,000 troops under their command, all the way to Liangjiang Road with great confidence and confidence.

However, what Zhao Jian didn't expect, this war, which he felt would end at the beginning of the year, was not easy at all after it was actually implemented.

It is really because the Liangjiang Province area is mountainous, and the local climate is also very different from that of Jingnan and Jingbei. So much so that after the leader arrived at Liangjiangdao, before the battle, many soldiers were not adapted.

Complex terrain, harsh climate, and multi-ethnic population. made this battle, which made Zhao Jian feel confident at first, but in the end, it was scorched in the Liangjiang region for more than a year. In the end, with the assistance of the local ethnic minorities, Fang was able to conquer Lingui, the seat of the two rivers, and achieved a decisive victory.

Therefore, when the Chu army became more and more powerful, in order to avoid the recurrence of this kind of situation, when the Chu army attacked Yun [] Nanxing Province, which was very similar to Liangjiang Province, it couldn't help but give up the method of forcible attack and chose the method of paying equal attention to recruitment.

But that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.

Let's just talk about the day of the Double Ninth Festival not many days after Zhao Jian's army led the south. On this day, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but meet with Lu Sicheng, Zhao Ziyu, Guo Yu, Li Chongsan and other confidants and important ministers in the study room of the Chu Palace, and put forward his intention to reform the military system.

……

"My lord, are you saying that the army will no longer use 100 people for 100 households and 1,000 people for 1,000 households, and do the method of leading and dispatching troops. Rather, it is necessary to have five people as a team, two brigades as a team, three brigades as a platoon, ten teams as a team, five teams as battalions, two battalions as brigades, three brigades as divisions, and five divisions as armies. ”

"That's right, Ah Yu. I think after so many years of leading troops to fight, you should also feel how difficult it is for the main general to command once there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Yuanmeng made ten soldiers and horses in the world a system, because Yuanmeng was a nomadic people in the grassland.

When they lived on the grassland, it was a ten-ten system. Moreover, these nomadic people were generally illiterate and could not command accurately, so the ten-point system made it easier for generals to command, and it was also more able to give full play to the advantages of large-scale cavalry operations.

But this is how the nomadic cavalry fought. The same way of fighting will not work if it is put on our Central Plains, especially the foot soldiers. ”

"This ...... But so. Even I, when I was commanding operations on the battlefield, I couldn't take care of every thousand households. You can only make a battle plan before the war, and most of the war is a battle to the death. So much so that even the generals of our army, if they encounter an emergency, they have no other way to use than to personally lead people to the top. ”

"But so." Hearing Guo Yu say this, Zhao Ziyu, as a military advisor, couldn't help but nod in agreement. But after that, Zhao Ziyu changed his words, but he couldn't help but say: "But my lord, if you want to reform the military system, what kind of positions should thousands of households in various places have?" ”

Yes, the ten-tier military system of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, after all, has been practiced in the Central Plains for so many years.

Nowadays, the generals under Zhang Shihua are accustomed to this system. Even though this military system has difficulties in command, it is difficult for the generals to carry out the orders after they are issued. But the more than 100,000 troops under Zhang Shihua's command were all appointed and divided according to this system.

Moreover, there are certain contradictions between the new military system and the old military system.

Let's talk about 10,000 households. In the Yuanmeng military system, Wanhu was divided into three classes. That is, 10,000 households on the road, 10,000 households on the middle road, and 10,000 households on the lower road. Among them, 8,000 to 9,000 people were led by 10,000 households on the upper road, 6,000 to 7,000 people were led by 10,000 households on the middle road, and about 3,000 people were led by 10,000 households on the lower road.

In this way, if the military system reform is carried out according to Zhang Shihua's intentions, the lower ten thousand households can be directly appointed as division commanders, but the ten thousand households in the middle road and the ten thousand households on the upper road are not easy to appoint.

After all, according to Zhang Shihua's meaning, the five divisions are the army. Then an army would be fifteen thousand. But among the current Chu army, the only ones with more than 15,000 troops are Guo Yu (who was recently appointed as the generalissimo of the Marshal Mansion of Jinghu North Province), Zhang Shihui, Zhao Wei and Zhao Jian, who is conquering the south.

But even if you exclude Zhao Jian, who led the two armies to conquer Liangjiang, don't say anything. The remaining Chu troops and horses in various places, plus the surrendered troops and generals in these days, are still as many as 120,000 regular troops alone.

120,000 soldiers and horses, according to Zhang Shihua's method, there are eight armies.

Then the question arises, how to appoint these eight lieutenant generals in charge of the first army.

And once these eight generals in charge of the first army are appointed, does it also indicate that the soldiers and horses of the Chu army will be disrupted and reorganized?

So at this time, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihua and said again: "King, the appointment of generals can still be coordinated and discussed, take your time." However, if the troops and horses of the various departments are disrupted and reorganized, it is very likely to be opposed and rejected by the generals! ”

After all, there are soldiers and horses in hand these years, and only then can you have the confidence to speak. Those veterans of the Chu army who followed Zhang Shihua step by step to today's are fine. Because Zhang Shihua had concerns in his early years, he was afraid that his generals would have the idea of separating themselves from each other after they were in charge of an army in one place for a long time.

Therefore, veterans like Guo Yu and Zhang Shihui rarely stay in one place for a long time. And after they are mobilized, they will never be allowed to take their troops and horses with them. For example, Zhang Shihui and Zhao Wei and others, the ordinary soldiers under them have already been replaced by Zhang Shihua for three or four years.

But some generals who surrendered on their own initiative and heroes who took the initiative to defect to Zhang Shihua are different.

For example, Jiangxia City took the initiative to open the city gate and let the Chu army enter the city. This guy is now also the middle lane of the Chu army, with 6,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are from Jiangxia, and he can be regarded as his Shen Ke's disciples.

Therefore, if Zhang Shihua wants the troops and horses to be disorganized and reorganized, then a general like Shen Ke will definitely be unwilling.

These generals completely regarded their soldiers as their lifeblood in troubled times. Even if Zhang Shihua is their king, in this matter, people like Shen Ke and others will definitely not compromise so easily.

However, compared with the result that the centralization of power in Dachu will be greatly strengthened after the reform of the military system, and there will never be warlords under Zhang Shihua's rule, the impact of Shen Ke and others' opposition can obviously be ignored.

After all, a general like Shen Ke, in the current Chu army, all adds up to only two or three big cats and kittens. The total number of troops they commanded was only more than 20,000 men.

Therefore, after Zhao Ziyu's voice fell, without waiting for Zhang Shihua to answer, Lu Sicheng, who was bent on collecting power for the center of Dachu so as to formalize Dachu's regime, couldn't help but speak: "The reform of the military system is really a good thing for my Dachu.

You can't choke on food. As for the issue of individual generals mentioned by Lord Zhao, haven't the eight commanders in charge of the First Army been appointed yet! ”

"This ......" Suddenly hearing Lu Sicheng say this, Zhao Ziyu groaned, and had to close his mouth.

Yes, although Shen Ke and the others are grasshoppers on the same line. But Shen Ke, Fan Zhong, Li Zhi (Fan Zhong is a hero of Songzi, Li Zhi is a monk of Jingmen, they are all heroes who took the initiative to defect to Zhang Shihua back then) and others are not of the same heart.

When the time comes, as long as Zhang Shihua takes out a position as a military commander as bait to tempt them, this group of guys will probably be able to break the head for this position.

At that time, Zhang Shihua was implementing military reform, so there was no resistance.

In the future, Zhang Shihua and Lu Sicheng, Zhao Ziyu, Guo Yu, Li Chongshan and other confidants and important ministers secretly discussed how to carry out military reform within the entire Chu army.

Well, within the entire Chu army, it is obviously not an easy thing to break the original army system and establish a completely new system.

Therefore, after discussing for more than an hour, Zhang Shihua and the others failed to discuss a satisfactory plan on how to implement in the whole army.

It is really because in the current situation where each general is guarding different areas and is in charge of an unequal number of troops, it is difficult to carry out a unified and effective division and dispatch of these generals within the whole army.
