Because of Liu Yan's death, Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne as Yizhou Mu.

However, Liu Zhang's nature is weak, and there is Liu Yan inside, so Zhao Wei is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take Liu Zhang in his eyes at all.

Shang Ji did not care about the affairs of the south, and his main energy in the world was focused on rectifying the military and political affairs in the north.

Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Sizhou, there are so many more states and counties at once, the Shang army is a little too busy, hundreds of millions of huge troops continue to rectify, the people in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places also need to be treated, and the Shang Ji has no time to pay attention to the commotion of the southern princes.

The first was the appointment of new officials, and the results of the huge investment in education by the Shang over the years finally became apparent, and the six newly occupied prefectures and counties required at least 100,000 third-rate scribes to maintain their operations by the standards of the Shang Dynasty.

The four major academies of Xiangping, plus one in each state of Chenzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Yongzhou, a total of eight top academies have provided a large number of reserve talents for Shangji.

After transferring some of the original qualified officials from the local prefectures and counties, Shang Ji did not make much effort to build the administrative framework of several newly occupied prefectures and counties.

Administrative posts were quickly filled, and government affairs began to operate according to the pattern of the Shang Ji forces, and the Shang Ji also began to reorganize the army.

According to the statistics just reported, in addition to the original army of the Shang Army, the number of soldiers under the command of the Shang Army is as high as 260 million, and the number of troops makes the Shang Ji feel numb.

Of course, the army is huge, but the combat effectiveness is very reluctant.

At least seventy percent of them are fourth-order armies that have been completely eliminated, and there are still many third-order scumbags. Most of these were Jizhou troops, and they were temporarily recruited by Yuan Shao during World War I.

For these soldiers, the merchant was very resolute and disbanded and abolished.

According to the inherent standards, according to the different populations, the number of cities, the state of public order, and the taxation situation, a county retains a different number of county soldiers, ranging from 300,000 to 800,000, and on average a state has about 7 million county soldiers.

The seven newly occupied states needed a total of about 50 million county soldiers.

Relatively speaking, the number of county soldiers is relatively small, but the requirements of the county soldiers of the Shang army are very high, the minimum standard is five ranks, and the high quality perfectly makes up for the lack of quantity, which is more than enough to maintain local law and order and eliminate small bandits.

As for the combat corps, and the state army changed the ten combat corps to remain intact. Because he agreed to grant Diao Chan the treatment that was not inferior to Lu Bu, all Diao Chan's Liangzhou Army would also have the establishment of ten combat regiments after the change.

Yuan Shao's Jizhou army also had a considerable number of soldiers with good combat effectiveness, and they were selected to be elite, and finally seven combat regiments were reorganized.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao's troops also had a strong combat effectiveness and high potential, and a total of six combat legions were reorganized, which means that after this battle, the number of combat legions of the Shang Ji army skyrocketed by thirty-three.

Before the war, in order to solve the problem of insufficient combat troops on two fronts, Shang Ji temporarily formed ten temporary combat regiments. These ten battle legions performed well in this battle, and all of them were promoted to official battle legions.

Coupled with the ten battle legions that the Himiko Legion had changed at the beginning, the number of Shang Ji Army's combat legions broke through to eighty-nine, with a total strength of more than 20 million!

Of course, there was a noticeable gap in combat effectiveness between the original combat corps and the newly formed combat corps later. As a result, a new category has appeared within the Battle Legion - Numbered Battle Legion and Titled Battle Legion!

The numbered battle legion is the battle legion named after the number, such as the 80th Battle Legion, the 50th Battle Legion, etc., and the Titled Battle Legion, also known as the Ace Legion, has its own exclusive name, such as the Star Legion, the Silver Dragon Legion, the Shura Legion, etc.

At present, there are eighteen titled legions, and the commanders of these eighteen titled legions are jokingly known as the eighteen heavenly kings of the Shang Ji Army, and their status is much higher than that of the captain of the numbered combat legion.

The most obvious example is that during the previous war, Liu Meng's greedy wolf legion and several other numbered legions formed a corps with a scale of more than one million, cutting off Liu Bei's back road, and Liu Meng was the commander of that force.

This has also become the practice of the Shang Army, with the Titled Corps as the core, supplemented by some numbered Corps, to form a corps, and the commander of the Titled Corps is the corps commander by default.

Eighty-nine combat regiments, more than 80 million county soldiers (plus county soldiers from Chenzhou, Pingzhou and other original prefectures and counties), the total standing strength of the Shang army theoretically broke through to 100 million!

The reason why I say it is theoretical, because many armies are still in a state of integration.

Although Shang Ji has more than 200 million troops on hand, he can't make up 50 million qualified fifth-order county soldiers, and there are still a large number of troops that need to be trained.

Even the new and gradual combat legions need to be intensively trained and reorganized.

The quality of the army is one thing, and so is the rigid supporting equipment. The equipment of the same level of the Shang army was on average one level higher than that of other princes, which means that most of the equipment of the captured army itself did not meet the requirements of the Shang army, so most of the newly reorganized combat corps lacked suitable equipment.

Some of the seizures can be solved, but most of them still need to be remanufactured by the merchants.

It is worth mentioning that with the surrender of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Diao Chan successively, the generals under their command also changed their surnames to Shang. Among them, it is worth mentioning Zhang Liao and Gao Shun of Lu Bujun, Ma Chao and Pang De under Diao Chan, Yan Liang and Wen Chou under Yuan Shao.

These are still generals whose strength is at the peak of the heaven-level or heaven-level, and ordinary S-level generals will not be introduced one by one.

In addition to military generals, there are also many well-known civil servants.

Yuan Shao's strategist group was served by Shang Ji, and none of Tian Feng, Xianpei, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xin Bi, Xin Ping, and Xu Yu ran away. Liu Bei's most core and veteran advisors Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu were also captured by Shangji.

That is, Chen Gong hanged himself, which made Shang Ji a little regretful.

The historical beauty legion under Diao Chan also naturally joined the Fengwu Legion under the name of the Liu family, which made the average appearance of the Fengwu Legion increase by a lot again, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness has improved by leaps and bounds.

And with the addition of the Historical Beauty Legion to the Phoenix Dance Legion, the popularity of the Phoenix Dance Legion surpassed that of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard under Shang Ji in one fell swoop, and several of the top historical beauties in Huaxia District, Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, Mrs. Zou, and Mrs. Fan are all in the Phoenix Dance Legion, and players are even more envious and jealous when they mention the Phoenix Dance Legion.
