Chapter 390: The Three Military Regions of the Five Major War Zones

When Beijing ascended the throne, the war in Shandong had been completely resolved, but Tie 13, who was awarded the title of marquis and a second-class general, was still arranging defenses on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

And Yang Dongfang only stayed in Beijing for two days to arrange the affairs here, so he flew to Shandong, and then marked the location around the coast, which can be regarded as an inspection, meeting with officers and soldiers, deepening feelings, and learning from the chairman and president of later generations to run around the country to gather the morale of the army.

It took three days to spend three days on the Shandong Peninsula, arranging fort guards and the like, and then talking about plans with his henchmen.

Tie Thirteen had a straight personality, and said with an itchy heart: "Your Majesty! What you mean is that the whole country is divided into five major theaters and three major military regions, and each theater is under the unified command of the commander-in-chief of the theater, just like the previous small military regions and theaters. ”

"Don't call it the emperor, it's comfortable to call the boss when no one is around."

"But the emperor, this is not in line with etiquette."

"That's all a scene, don't care so much, when no one is there, call the boss, what's rude, this world is fought by brothers together, can I be the emperor alone without everyone?" Yang Dongfang didn't want to be alone, he waved his hand and looked a little angry, Tie Thirteen knew Yang Dongfang's temper, and after thinking about it, he had to nod, Yang Dongfang pointed to the map and said:

"See, the Northern Theater is temporarily dominated by Hebei Province (formerly Qing Zhili changed to Hebei Province) and Shandong Province, and after you attend the enthronement ceremony of the Eastern Capital, you will go to Beijing to set up the Northern Theater Command to coordinate the troops of the two provinces and local security.

Your internal responsibility in the Northern Theater is the security of the two provinces, and externally it is also responsible for military intelligence and infiltration work in eastern Mongolia, central Mongolia, Liaodong, Korea, and other places.

When the time comes, all of these places in your northern theater will be taken by me, so your task is very important. ”

"It's the emperor! The thirteenth enlistment of ministers and iron will complete the task and will not live up to the emperor's trust. Tie Thirteen stood up at dusk and gave a standard military salute, and Yang Dongfang pulled him down: "Okay, okay, don't show loyalty, you forgot what you said just now." ”

"Hey, hey! Boss, I was just excited. ”

Yang Dongfang didn't pay attention to it, he pointed to the map and continued: "What are you excited about, just take care of the two provinces, you look at the Eastern Theater I demarcated, Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, and Zhejiang Province Li He is directly in charge of these four major areas." ”

Tie Thirteen only smiled and said: "Boss, don't fool me, on the surface, the Eastern Theater of Operations is very large, but in fact, it is very idle here, and you have beaten both the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus, and after Li and that kid took office, in addition to coastal defense, they can only play a little with the bandits in the mountains." ”

Yang Dongfang also smiled, didn't explain too much, Japan is a place where the Eastern Theater will spend some energy to plan well in the future, and with the current perception of the Chinese people, it is impossible to understand Yang Dongfang's hatred for the Japanese country, and naturally they can't imagine what Yang Dongfang wants to turn the island country into, so they don't think that there will be a big move here, and there will be any war.

"The boss, the southern theater must be centered on Guangzhou, the capital of flowers, and blindly control Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian, and Liu Yongfu is in charge of the southern theater." Yang Dongfang nodded, but Tie Thirteen shook his head: "I don't know when King Zhong will move from here." ”

Speaking of Fujian, Yang Dongfang flashed a trace of contempt and said: "Soon, after Britain and France negotiate with us, we can send them to the place they want to go by boat to develop, in fact, Li Xiucheng has looked for Li He and his aunt several times, and those generals below the Kingdom of Heaven have seen that we are now establishing the Chinese Empire, and many people are ready to move, and quietly revealed that even if they are a small regiment commander, they want to defect to our country, but they think that they are still the king of the Hong Sect, and I think they overestimate themselves when they are the battalion commander." ”

"The Southwest Theater is either Cai Zhi or Li Xiongxiong, the two of them."

"It's still Li Xiongxiong, I'm going to let the Southwest Theater go deep into Myanmar and the Luang Prabang Kingdom to the west, catch some monkeys to build roads, lest Lao Li always say that he has nothing to do, and he will talk about a bird soon, and say bad things about me every day, favoring one over the other and so on." Yang Dongfang said jokingly, and Tie Thirteen also cooperated:

"It's against him, dare to say that the boss, if I don't want to go to Beijing, I will go to Yunnan and beat him first."

"Boss, is there anyone in the Western Theater?" Tie Thirteen thought about a few people, and they all vetoed it one after another, although Ge Hui is now a lieutenant general among the old brothers, and he has been in Shaanxi, but there are still some deficiencies to provoke the entire northwest war.

Yang Dongfang sighed helplessly: "I can see it, the Western Theater will be the object I want to focus on next, Lao Maozi is engaged in the east and the west near the Tianshan Mountains, so it is necessary to quickly cut through the chaos and solve the northwest, so no one is more suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the Western Theater than me." ”

"Boss, you have to go into battle yourself, it's too dangerous." Tie Thirteen is really worried, this decision will inevitably cause opposition from everyone, after all, Yang Dongfang has no heirs, and this newly established empire needs him too much.

"There's no way, I don't go out in person, the war in the northwest will drag on for many years, and in the end the northwest will be empty, this is not the result I want to see." Yang Dongfang is telling the truth, according to another time and space, Zuo Zongtang led the Chu army and the Hunan army to fight for more than four years to pacify the northwest, stabilize Xinjiang, and the Hui bandits were rampant, and the population of the three provinces was directly killed and injured by more than 20 million people, which he could not tolerate.

If all these dead and wounded people were relocated to the Tianshan region, the border would be greatly stable, and there would not even be any need to worry about expanding north and west in the future.

A few days later, Yang Dongfang flew to Jinling, the eastern capital, with the Shandong generals, and Li He, who had already arrived from Nanchang, led Jiang Yifeng and Xu Chenghao and others out of the city to greet them.

This time, the eastern capital ascended the throne again, which seemed more grand than Beijing, because there were two of the three major marquis of the empire, and two generals, several major generals.

The form is the same as in Beijing, and the banquet will be full of joyful drinks, talking and laughing, all sighing at the total bitterness of the past three years, and finally turning into joy into the glass of wine, and drinking it all.

At the banquet, Yang Dongfang publicly announced that Li He would become the commander of the Eastern Theater and be stationed in Jinling. At the same time, the concept of the five major theaters has since surfaced, and the three major military regions have also been released, and each ministry has successively received the division of the five major theaters and the adjustment of several major military regions.

The northern theater is dominated by Hebei and Shandong, with the theater commander Tie 13 and deputy commanders Feng Zicai, Ren Tianming, and Oma Niu

It has been reorganized and expanded into 7 infantry divisions, 2 independent artillery brigades, and the Yellow Sea Fleet.

The Northern Theater is dominated by Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, Zhejiang Province, and the Ryukyu Kingdom, with Theater Commander Li He and Deputy Commanders Jiang Yifeng, Urging Chenghao, and Li Dewu

It has been reorganized and expanded into 9 infantry divisions, 2 independent artillery brigades, and the East China Sea Fleet.

The southern theater is dominated by Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Annan cities, with Liu Yongfu, commander of the theater, and Xiao Qi and Li Wencai, deputy commanders.

It has been reorganized and expanded into 5 infantry divisions, 2 independent artillery brigades, and the South China Sea Fleet.

The southwest theater is dominated by the kingdoms of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Kang-Tibet, and Luang Prabang, and the theater commander Li Xiongxiong, deputy commanders Geng Di, Tao Xinchun, and Du Xiuwen

It has been reorganized and expanded into 5 infantry divisions, 2 independent infantry mountain brigades, and 2 independent artillery brigades.

The Changsha Military Region is mainly based in Hunan Province, with Commander Hong Xing and Deputy Commander Zhang Xiumei, and the main force is three brigades.

The Wuhan Military Region is mainly composed of Hubei and Hubei, with Commander Dai Rufeng and Deputy Commander Li Jinxue, and the main force is three brigades.

The Kaifeng Military Region is mainly based on Henan, with Cai Zhi as commander and Zhu Huilun as deputy commander, and the main force is 4 brigades.

In addition to the Northwest Independent Division, which returned to Shaanxi, the rest of the divisions were also basically transferred to the Western Theater, such as Feng Dazhao and Tong Da of the First Cavalry Brigade. Zhang Zongyu and Zhang Yujue of the Third Cavalry Brigade, and Li Yutai and Niu Hongsheng of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade who had just been expanded, entered Shaanxi and Jin.

The reorganized army Zhang Yao's regiment, Bao Chao's brigade, Liu Songshan's brigade, and Wei Rugui's Huai army also entered Shaanxi and Jin, while Hu cadres and Huang Yongcheng's troops were all transferred back to Shanxi to join the northwest operation.

In order to better disintegrate the Hui bandits in the northwest, Yang Dongfang transferred Ma Rong and Ma Lian from Yunnan to the northwest, and at the same time transferred the three brothers Su Yuanchun from Guangxi. Most of the non-descendant troops were sent to the northwest for training.

At the same time, in addition to the military system of the troops transferred to the Northwest Theater, the other four major theaters, the three major military regions, and all departments abolished the large and small squad system, reorganized, and established a new Royal National Defense Force of the Chinese Empire, and the New People's Army has since become a glorious past.

Of course, in addition to the military districts, all localities have set up security regiments by city, and counties have set up security battalions, and the security teams have been abolished. However, a militia corps was set up at the county level, a militia brigade was set up in townships and towns, and militia detachments and squads were set up by village committees to achieve the purpose of protecting the territory and reassuring the people.

The emergence of the militia also naturally led to a new military system, which was signed by Yang Dongfang and promulgated the compulsory military system and the militia system, and in the future, it will radiate outward from the five major theaters and embark on the road of outward expansion.
