"An army of a million, fighting for the whole country!"

Since His Majesty Chen Kefu, the invincible emperor of the Great Chen Empire, issued a tough declaration of war slogan to the whole country to meet the southward movement of the Turkic Khanate, this slogan began to spread in the Great Chen Imperial Court, and quickly spread to the ears of the people all over the world——1——

When the imperial court frequently mobilized elite soldiers and horses from all over the country, the people in the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, half of which Da Chen controlled, also reacted. The Twelve Guards of the Outer Guards, the Four Guards of the Navy, and the Eight Guards of the Inner Guards waved their troops to the north, and countless armies marched all day long on the avenues of the Central Plains, and the black flying eagle military flag fluttering high led the eyes of hundreds of people.

After learning of the shameful act of the Turkic Khanate Yehu Khan, who reneged on his previous alliance with Da Chen and wanted to gather an army of 400,000 in one fell swoop, the first to react were the township soldiers and militia groups under the command of the newly divided provincial capitals.

Military orders were handed down one after another, and originally only a small number of township soldiers were on duty in turn to assist the localities in pacifying the localities, and the township soldiers in the prefectures, counties, and townships who maintained law and order all received the tight conscription orders issued by the provincial commanders and envoys at the first time. Groups of township soldiers walked out of the rural farms in all directions, carrying the weapons and armor they had been on the battlefield and rushed to the township soldiers assembly places in various prefectures and counties.

For the war, these villagers did not resist much. Although they were called township soldiers, they were not regular soldiers compared to the government soldiers, but in fact, most of these township soldiers were carried out by the old and weak of the Chen army and other captured troops and the surrendered integrated troops, before they were carried back. Many of the fellow soldiers have actually been in the army for many years, and there are even some 'professional soldiers' who have fought for more than ten or twenty years. In front of the heroes of other forces in the Central Plains, the village soldiers of the Chen Dynasty were actually an old army with sufficient combat experience. What's more, most of these village soldiers are not only veterans in the first place. The officers of these village soldiers are more than a few veterans of experienced veterans. It's just that the Chen Dynasty has always practiced a policy of elite soldiers, and it is an elite strategy for officers, and in recent years, all the officers in the middle and lower ranks have basically been replaced by professional officers who have rich experience and have been trained in the lecture hall.

In the army, a large number of officers who were old or had suffered minor injuries and disabilities, as well as many officers who surrendered or joined the army later, were transferred from their original posts and transferred to the township soldiers.

The entire Dachen now has more than 200,000 township soldiers, and one has enough actual combat experience. An old-style army with a large number of experienced middle and lower rank officers. They are not as elite as the Twenty-Four Guards, but they also belong to an army with sufficient combat effectiveness in this era. At the beginning of the establishment of Da Chen, Chen Kefu reorganized them into township soldiers in order to solve the problem of a large number of miscellaneous surrenders and old and weak soldiers. For a long time it seemed that people had forgotten about them.

When Da Chen was facing many crises, Da Chen finally put this reserve army, which was not elite, but brave enough, in front of the stage.

One after another, the assembled village soldiers quickly began to take over the vacancy left after the departure of the government troops assembled in various places and headed north according to the order of His Majesty the Emperor in accordance with the wartime system. They took over the defense of the city and strengthened law and order. They should also reorganize their armaments for war, strengthen their training, and wait for another opportunity to go to the battlefield. Some of the most elite township barracks were also urgently dispatched to Hedong. Reinforcements to the government army.

Most of the 24 guards were sent north to Hedong and Hebei. The same huge number of township soldiers were also urgently recruited, and some elite township soldiers were transferred north to Hedong. The other part stayed behind in the important towns of the provinces to take over the defensive vacancies left by the government army. More village soldiers. Among them, nearly 100,000 township soldiers were urgently transferred to three major parts, and were transferred to Jiangdu Town, Jianghuai, Xiangyang on the Han River, and Tongguan Fortress west of Luoyang. …,

The government soldiers went north, and most of the township soldiers went south, and among the dozen or so provinces of Dachen, the provinces that directly bordered the southern and western provinces suddenly increased the pressure. The central capital Luoyang, Beijing Yanjing, and the eastern capital Liaoyang, the three Kyotos were suddenly empty, and the provinces of Henan, Anhui, Hubei, and Jiangsu in the Central Plains were even more empty.

The Great Chen Empire is facing an unprecedented test!

Although as many as 200,000 civilians were urgently conscripted, they were transferred from reserve soldiers to wartime soldiers. However, for the Turkic Khanate after the unification of the seven separatist forces in the Central Plains at the same time, facing the attack from the north and the south, with more than one million enemy troops, even Chen Kefu, who has always looked down on the world's heroes, is full of worries about the future.

The Turkic army pressed the border, but Zhang Jin, director of the Secret Service Department, kept receiving information from the spies stationed in various places, and the intelligence all showed that the seven major separatist forces in the Central Plains were constantly colluding and plotting something.

Chen Kefu, the Great Chen Emperor who handed over the command of all the battles on the northern front to the hands of the commander Li Jing, was also uneasy day and night in the face of these news. Da Chen wanted to fight with the Turks for the position of the overlord of the north, and at this time, those separatist forces in the Central Plains would never give up such a good opportunity to deal with him. The war in the north dragged Da Chen onto the chariot, and it was impossible to get off the chariot halfway before deciding the winner.

In the face of the imminent movement of other forces, Chen Kefu finally issued an emergency war mobilization order in advance after thinking about it for a long time.

"A million troops, a war of invasion of the country!"

The 24 Wei and more than 300,000 government guards were all mobilized, and the more than 200,000 township soldiers were all recruited, but in the face of a very likely battle on the north and south fronts, Chen Kefu had to consider a more tragic battle situation.

Chen Kefu, who was sitting in the palace of Jinyang in Taiyuan City on the Hedong front, ordered that after recruiting all the township soldiers, he would once again recruit the militia groups from all prefectures and counties across the country.

The number of militia regiments is the same as the number of township soldiers, and the only difference between them is that the township soldiers are the reserve forces of the government guard, while the militia regiments are the reserve units of the township soldiers.

The township soldiers are a reserve force composed of soldiers who have been dismissed from the government army and guards, and the training in peacetime is only slightly worse than that of the government army, and the imperial court and various localities have long been armed with the township soldiers.

However, the militia was different, the militia was nominally part of the national defense armed forces of the Great Chen Empire, but in fact it belonged to a local security civil defense force, they did not have enough time for training, and the imperial court only gave them a very small part of the training weapons and armor. Even the most important command organization is not sound, to put it bluntly, in addition to the battalion headquarters composed of three full-time retired officers in each battalion of the militia regiments, in fact, they have no officers, no weapons and armor, and no training, and the only thing they have is a list of prefectures and counties, and there are several intensive training camps for Liao Liao every year. The biggest role in peacetime is that the troops on duty are responsible for helping to assist in law and order, extinguishing fires, repairing roads, and setting up guards and checkpoints.

If there is anything that can meet the standards of an army, then the only estimate is that the selection of each militia is very strict, and the militia in the militia is basically a young man over the age of 21 and under the age of 55.

It was such a reserve corps, and at this time, it was also ordered by Chen Kefu to all be conscripted, and the militia militia of the reserve of more than 200,000 reservists began to rush to the assembly places in various counties to assemble and register, and to receive weapons and armor, and then they were assigned to various towns with empty defenses to take over the city defense and defend the country.

300,000 government troops, 200,000 township soldiers, 200,000 militia groups, and 100,000 allied troops of the Khitan, Ya, and Silla Liaodong allies.

The war machine of the newly-born Great Chen Empire was fully activated, and a full 800,000 troops were recruited in a short time, which was not much different from the 1 million army shouted by Chen Pojun, and it was not much different from fighting the country. …,

Dachen owns more than ten provinces, occupies half of the Central Plains, and has more than half of the population of the whole of China, more than 20 million people, and it seems that there is nothing to recruit an army of 800,000. But in fact, all the 700,000 recruits were young and strong men. And more than half of the 20,000,000,000 people, excluding the women. Excluding boys under the age of 21 and old people over the age of 55, the number of people of the entire Dachen who are of conscription age is actually less than 8 million.

In the wars of the last Sui Dynasty, the most common deaths were adult men, and among the eight million men who met the conscription, there were countless young and strong men who were disabled due to illness or even war.

Da Chen's conscription basically reached nine to one, or even eight to one among adult men. One out of every eight healthy young men is drafted into battle.

At the same time, in response to the seven major separatist forces in the Central Plains and the grassland empire whose territory exceeded the entire Central Plains, in the face of more than one million enemy troops, Dachen recruited 800,000 soldiers.

Correspondingly, each soldier needs at least three auxiliary soldiers, and the Chen army, which has an army of 800,000 troops, has to recruit more than one million logistics workers and battlefield auxiliaries in order to meet the possibility of fighting on both sides of the north and south at the same time, or even fighting on the fourth and fifth lines at the same time, and in order to ensure the supply and demand of logistics.

Before and after, 3 million soldiers and civilians were mobilized, and basically the young and strong men in the whole country were one of the three levies. For every three healthy young men, one must be drafted into the battlefield or participate in logistics and transportation tasks.

Although it was after the autumn harvest at this time, such a large number of conscriptions were still a huge burden on the imperial court, even if all the people brought their own food to serve, it was also shocking.

Da Chen is like a bow, which has been oppressed to the extreme by the Turks and other separatist forces.

Sitting in the Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan, Chen Kefu couldn't sleep every night, thinking countless times about whether his decision to turn the tide of the battle for the country was to turn the tide, or to dig up and bury himself for his death.

The howling north wind outside the window kept rolling up the broken dead grass and flying in the air, several times, Chen Kefu seemed to see the face of Yang Guang composed of those dead grass in the air, the delicate beard on his face was always upturned, as if he was laughing at Chen Kefu, laughing at him Although he was once extremely wise and usurped his Great Sui River, but he finally came to the step he took at the beginning.

Yang Guang's million-strong army conquered Liao, fought the country, and finally the country was destroyed and died. Now, what will happen to him Chen Kefu's million-strong army to attack the Turks?
