This time, the northern expedition to the Khitan won a complete victory, which completely eliminated the worries of the Beiping army when they went south, and the Jiedu Mansion in Beiping City was naturally full of jubilation. However, while the victory was celebrated, several members of the committee began to worry about the looming shortage. Out of consideration for the effective control of the troops stationed outside, especially the "Flying Dragon Army", the garrisons of the previous crossing team in various provinces outside Beiping were controlled by their own brothers as the chief military officer, and the supreme military command of each province was never handed over to non-traversers. Although the military governor of the garrison of Xinzhan County was still a traverser, he was already demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, the most obvious example of which was the Yellow Sea.

Huang Hai was originally the chief military officer of Yuyang Mansion, and the reason why he was sent to participate in the command of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition this time was mainly to consider that this Northern Expedition would dispatch naval ships and marines to fight together, and as one of the members of the entire crossing team who knew the navy, marines, and naval operations the most, it was natural to send him - as a naval officer in his previous life, although Xin Feiyu was also very familiar with naval operations, his station was in Yanmen, and the distance was much farther than that of the Yellow Sea. Naturally, the committee would not be reluctant to transfer Xin Feiyu over. As a result, just when the Left Route Army of the Northern Expedition successfully captured Jinzhou, and Huang Hai was about to return to his station with Qian Yuanshan, what he was waiting for was that the committee asked him to stay in Jinzhou for the time being and temporarily take charge of the military and civilian affairs of Jinzhou Prefecture until the committee had a new candidate to replace him. Although Huang Hai did not have any dissatisfaction or hesitation after receiving the committee's order, he immediately complied with it and conscientiously performed his duties. But the problem is that it is not enough for the Yellow Sea to have no opinion. Because while Huanghai was acting as the Jinzhou Mansion, the military work of Yuyang Mansion, which was originally in charge of him, could only be temporarily handed over to the local military generals, which was obviously inconsistent with the purpose of the military command of the crossing team at this stage.

However, although it was aware that such an arrangement was somewhat irregular, the Committee was now compelled to do so. Because with the end of the first phase of the Northern Expedition and the successful occupation of Jinzhou and the prefectures and counties south of the Northern Expedition, when the committee considered the military commanders in the newly occupied areas, it found that with the main military talents from the Military Department and the Ministry of Security stationed in the eight prefectures of the Beiping Army, the only people with military talents that the committee can mobilize now are Xu Shaoan, who is a member of the committee and needs to sit in Beiping City to handle various team affairs, and is keen to lead the army to gallop outside the Saiwai. Muttel, who has long expressed his reluctance to be a chief military officer who is confined to a certain area, Wu Peng, who fully assists the committee in training recruits and is already too busy to touch the ground, and Zou Zhenyuan, who is also responsible for recruit training and has only been in the team for a short time. Therefore, after careful consideration, the committee had no choice but to order Huang Hai to stay in Jinzhou for the time being, and then return to his original post after the tension in the personnel area had improved. However, without waiting for the committee to find a more suitable candidate for the chief military officer of Jinzhou, the development of the situation made the Beiping Army have no choice but to expand the scale of the Northern Expedition, and in one fell swoop took more than a dozen or twenty prefectures and counties, such as Xing'an Prefecture, Yuzhou, Dading Prefecture, and Xingzhong Prefecture, and more prefectures needed to be set up to manage it. As a result, not only will the Yellow Sea not be able to return to its original position, but it will also have to find a way to transfer manpower to take over the newly occupied area. As a result, Wu Peng, who was doing his best to train recruits, became the second traverser who was temporarily transferred and temporarily left his original post.

Temporary redeployment is nothing more than a "temporary fix" and a palliative solution, and the Committee understands that such a policy cannot be implemented in the long term. What's more, once something happens in Kaifeng, the Beiping Army needs to mobilize a certain number of traversers to command the battle when it goes south, and may stay in the south for a long time, which requires enough manpower to support it. Therefore, on the same day that Zeng Zhilin and others led the army to return to the division victoriously, the committee, together with the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Political Affairs, the Ministry of Intelligence, and other departments, held an emergency meeting to discuss the problem of insufficient manpower.

At the meeting, the brothers in the congregation expressed their opinions. Some suggested delegating power to locals, others suggesting that the scope of the commander-in-chief's responsibility be expanded from one prefecture to two or more prefectures, and some even proposed that the traversal team should be placed in the area controlled by the crossing team to recruit traversers who might be living in the territory of the Beiping Army but had not yet been discovered. On the basis of these suggestions, a consensus was reached that was acceptable to all: to abolish and merge some of the prefecture-level units in order to save manpower, and to increase the number of military towns to expand the area under the responsibility of the chief military officer.

Based on this consensus, the participants finally came up with a list of administrative regions and military deployment adjustments after many trade-offs and comparisons, and submitted it to the enlarged meeting of the committee for voting.

According to this jihua, in addition to changing the city of Dading to the city of Daning, and dividing the newly occupied area of the Northern Expedition into Jinzhou Prefecture and Daning Prefecture with Jianzhou, Lizhou, and Tanzhou as the boundary, the above-mentioned three prefectures were under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Prefecture, and the existing eight prefectures of the Beiping Army were also adjusted.

That is, the Yuyang Mansion was abolished, and its original jurisdiction was divided into Lulong Mansion and Beiping Mansion respectively; The Lingxian Mansion was abolished, and its original jurisdiction was divided into Datong Mansion and Xuanhua Mansion; Yanmen Mansion was abolished, and its original jurisdiction was divided into Taiyuan Mansion and the new Datong Mansion. Zhao Dawei, the former prefect of Yuyang, was transferred to the prefect of Beiping -- Zhang Weixin, the former prefect of Beiping, was no longer concurrently in this position, Song Feiyang, the former prefect of Lingxian, Liu Jin, the former prefect of Tongzhi, was transferred to the prefect of Jinzhou, Zhong Shiwen, the former prefect of Yanmen, was transferred to the prefect of Daning, and Han Deyi, the former governor of Beiping Prefecture, was transferred to the Tongzhi of Daning Prefecture.

Pinglu Town, which was responsible for the military affairs of Lulong and Beiping, was newly established, with Zeng Zhilin as the chief military officer; Ningjin Town, which was responsible for the military affairs of Jinzhou and Daning, was newly established, and Yang Xin served as the chief military officer; Xuanda Town, which was newly responsible for the military affairs of Xuanhua and Datong, was newly established, with Cheng Fei as the chief military officer; Taiyuan Town, which was responsible for the military affairs of Taiyuan Prefecture, was newly established, with Tang Chao as the chief military officer and Yang Ye as the deputy chief soldier; Huang Hai was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Beiping Navy and Xin Feiyu as the deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps, stationed in Dagu Port, and was responsible for the construction, training and operational command of the sea liliang of the crossing team. Qian Yuanshan, the former chief military officer of Lulong Prefecture, and Wang Feng, the former chief military officer of Taiyuan Prefecture, will, like Muter, no longer serve as military generals stationed abroad, but will participate in directing the future foreign conquest operations of the crossing team as generals specially responsible for foreign conquests -- this post adjustment only removes Qian and Wang from their posts as chief military officers, and their positions within the crossing team, in the Beiping Army, and in the "Flying Dragon Army" will not be affected in the slightest. As for Wu Peng, who had just been transferred to Daning Mansion, after Yang Xin, the new chief soldier of Ningjin Town, took up his post, he returned to Beiping City to continue the training of recruits he had been responsible for.

After the completion of the redivision of administrative divisions and military defense regions, the corresponding distribution locations and numbers of garrisons will naturally have to change accordingly. According to the adjustment, in addition to Pinglu Town, each of the four newly formed military towns will be stationed with one infantry regiment, one cavalry battalion, corresponding artillery units, and four regiments of the "Security Army". That is, the three towns of Ningjin, Xuanda, and Taiyuan respectively stationed an infantry regiment, a cavalry battalion, and an artillery regiment under the division of the Second Composite Infantry Division of the "Feilong Army," as well as four infantry regiments (the ninth to twentieth regiments of the "Security Army." In addition, as areas directly bordering the Khitan, Ningjin Town and Xuanda Town will also be equipped with an additional "Security Army" cavalry regiment (the "Security Army" 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments).

At the same time, in addition to the above-mentioned permanent troops, the "Ranger Battalion" and the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" led by Muttel will also set up advance camps in Ningjin Town near the border with the Khitan, so as to continue to carry out the cross-border military operation of "Fighting Grass Valley", which has proved to be very effective. Of course, as the elite special operations Liliang of the crossing team, the "Ranger Battalion" and the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" will be placed under the direct control of the Committee (Jiedu Mansion) in most cases, and will either be stationed around Beiping City or enter the Khitan territory to "beat the grass valley", and will not be permanently stationed in the advance camp.

As for Pinglu Town, because it contains the head organ and command organ of the Beiping Army, the military liliang stationed in its jurisdiction is much larger and more complicated. Among them, the permanent garrison of the town consisted of the third regiment of the "Flying Dragon Army" 3rd Composite Infantry Division, the 3rd battalion of the division's cavalry regiment, the division's artillery unit, and the "Security Army's" four infantry regiments (the 5th to 8th regiments), and were controlled by the town's commander-in-chief. In addition to the permanent garrison of this military town, there will also be the 1st Synthetic Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army", the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 3rd Composite Infantry Division, the main cavalry of the division, the main artillery force of the division, the "Ranger Battalion", the "Wolf Tooth Battalion", the 1st Independent Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd Independent Cavalry Regiment, the 1st Independent Artillery Regiment, the 2nd Independent Artillery Regiment, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Regiments of the "Security Army" under the direct command of the Committee (Jiedu Prefecture). In addition, all the ships of the Beiping Navy and the 1st Marine Regiment stationed around Dagu Port were also under the direct command of the Committee (Jiedu Fu) and did not obey the orders of the Pinglu Town Chief Officer.

Looking at the whole Jihua, it is not difficult to see that as the new round of expansion of the Beiping Army is coming to an end, and as the military Liliang controlled by the crossing team becomes stronger and stronger, the Committee (Jiedu Prefecture) can still control a very powerful mobile combat Liliang in its hands after dispatching a much larger number of military liliang to each town than before the adjustment of the division. With this mobile combat force in hand, the crossing team can not only free up their hands on the premise of ensuring the safety of the northern border, and go to the Central Plains and sweep the world without any worries, but also do not have to worry about the commander of the military town commanding the troops outside, Shili is too inflated, so that the most criticized feudal town Shili since the Tang Dynasty sits big and strong, and fights against the central group, and then divides one side of the unfavorable situation.

With the adjustment of the administrative division and the deployment of the military liliang Jihua was passed at the enlarged meeting of the crossing team committee on the first day of the tenth lunar month of the eighth year of Xiande, the civil and military chiefs of the Beiping military provinces, as well as the troops originally stationed in the provinces, began to be busy, and according to this adjustment, Jihua carried out simple or complex handovers, and carried out short or long marches.
