Chapter 1212: The Population Explosion
After the formation of the Yulin Army, this round of army reorganization came to an end.
In this round of reorganization, except for Wu Qi and Xu Da, the two generals, who were awarded the rank of general, the rest of the generals were also awarded the title one by one, and the standard was that the commander was awarded the second-rank general, and the regiment commander was awarded the third-rank or fourth-rank general.
Meng Tian, the commander of the greedy wolf army, was awarded the title of general of the second-rank Fu army.
Guo Ziyi, the commander of the Fengxiang Army, was awarded the title of General of the Second Rank Army.
Chang Yuchun, the commander of the North African Army, was awarded the title of General of the Second Rank Expedition to the South; Yang Su, the commander of the Heluo Army, was awarded the title of General of Erpin Zhendong; Zuo Zongtang, the commander of the Hedong Army, was awarded the title of General of Erpin Zhenxi.
So far, in the sequence of the second-rank generals, the four town generals of Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenxi and Zhenbei, and the four generals of Zhengdong, Zhengnan, Zhengxi and Zhengbei are all in place.
Among the generals of the Fu Army, the General of the Chinese Army, the General of the Shang Army, the General of the Zhen Army, the General of the Zhenguo and the General of the Southern Middle School, there is only one vacant place for the General of the Zhen Army.
Hussar General, Che Cavalry General and Wei General, in the sequence of the three generals, only Xu Chu was named General Wei, and the two places of Hussar General and Che Cavalry General are temporarily vacant.
The above is all seventeen second-rank general places, and there are only three left in total.
Counting the three generals Bai Qi, Han Xin and Li Jing, Huo Quzhi, Xu Da, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Li Mu and Zheng He, the superstructure of the Great Xia Army is basically stable.
Among the top ten famous generals in China, except for Wei Qing who was martyred and Wang Jian was in Daqin, the remaining seven were all returned to Daxia.
After the reorganization, the remaining 710,000 soldiers, after the legions replenished the battle losses, were all included in the list of dismissals and handed over to the Privy Council and the Civic Affairs Department for joint resettlement.
This was the largest disarmament in Bactria to date. Fortunately, the two major organs have long been familiar with how to settle the dismissed soldiers, and they are busy but not chaotic and orderly.
At the same time, this was also the largest increase in the dynasty's troops, expanding five group armies at one time, totaling 1.75 million troops.
At this point, the army alone in Great Xia reached an astonishing 6.8 million people, and this was still under the condition that Ouyang Shuo continued to disarm and repeatedly reduce the number of troops under control.
Otherwise, the Great Xia Army is afraid that it will be close to the size of tens of millions.
The sixth year of Gaia was a year of explosive population growth in Great Xia. At the beginning of the year, the total population of the dynasty was around 150 million, a cut short of 200 million.
This was followed by a large number of players entering Great Xia, and the population soon approached the 200 million mark.
In April, under the strong attack of the silver hand, Bactria went against the wind and attacked on all fronts, capturing Johor, Pyu, Java and Ethiopia in one fell swoop, increasing the population by nearly 30 million at once.
followed by the defeat of the Han and Qing dynasties, as well as the annexation of the Jin, Sui, and Shu kingdoms, and then counting the people of the two provinces of Jiangnan and southern Anhui, in just three months, the population of Daxia increased by nearly 80 million.
You know, every royal city has 10 million people. The wolf warrior took Jianye effortlessly before, but he took a big advantage, if it wasn't for Ouyang Shuo's other plan, he would never let the Red Blood Army succeed easily.
As the third lord dynasty in China, the Great Jin Dynasty had a total population of 30 million.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why, as soon as the war ended, although Great Xia only increased the land of Hedong, Central Plains, southern Anhui and Jiangnan provinces, Ouyang Shuo decisively ordered to stop the war and make every effort to rectify the internal affairs.
Because the increase in population this time is too much, it is enough for Great Xia to digest it for a while.
The large number of people gathered in the four royal cities of Luoyang, Kyoto, Quanzhou, and Chengdu should also be appropriately guided to live in other counties and counties, and should not be too gathered.
Counting the adventure players who have continued to pour into Great Xia in the past six months, as well as the displaced people who have continued to flow out of various counties and counties, according to the latest statistics of the Civil Affairs Bureau, up to now, the total population of Great Xia has reached 370 million, which has not only doubled compared with the beginning of the year, but also has a slight surplus.
By the end of the year, the population of Daxia will easily exceed the 400 million mark.
During the reign of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, the total population of China reached 430 million, setting a new historical record.
If measured by this standard, the total population of Bactria will soon break the record and reach a whole new height. Even so, the 6.8 million army was still a bit overwhelming for the dynasty.
The largest army in history was the Ming Dynasty, which boasted a standing army of 2.8 million at its peak, and the population of the Ming Dynasty at that time was around 200 million. And the number of Ming troops is known to be huge.
Even with an army of 2.8 million, the ratio of military to civilian forces in Great Xia exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty, which was terrifying.
In terms of the size of the army alone, Great Xia can be described as unprecedented.
Even in the modern period of China, the peak size of the army was only about 6.5 million, which was still lower than the current size of the Great Xia army. Such a comparison shows what kind of burden Daxia's finances are facing.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo could not be disarmed.
Because it is now the most critical period of the Great Xia Dynasty, internally, it is necessary to destroy the Four Nations Alliance and complete the great cause of unification; Externally, it is necessary to deal with the enemies of the Quartet and seize the opportunity on the African continent.
Counting the monster lair, no matter what, you need a huge army to support you.
To disarm now is to bring about self-destruction.
Only when the Four-Nation Alliance was completely wiped out and a relatively stable center was established could the dynasty consider carrying out a round of reduction and reorganization of the troops deployed in the hinterland of the Huaxia Region to achieve the goal of reducing the number of troops.
According to Ouyang Shuo's prediction, no matter how Great Xia expands in the future and how the population grows sharply, the army of nearly 7 million is basically close to a critical value, and it is unlikely that it will really approach the 10 million mark.
The future expansion of the dynasty also depends on the large army stationed in the Huaxia region.
From this, it is still back to the starting point, only by destroying the Four-Nation Alliance as soon as possible, can Great Xia completely let go of its hands and feet, travel lightly, and actively expand externally.
Otherwise, without the use of silver hands and blue badges, Great Xia may be dragged down by huge military spending, and then fall into the quagmire of war and cut off its own way.
Therefore, the annexation of the Three Kingdoms was the most glorious period of Bactria and the most difficult period.
…………
October 6, 6th year of Gaia, Shanhai City.
Wangcheng, Temple of Heaven Square, nine Kyushu tripods lined up. Each big tripod is three feet six inches and five minutes high, according to three hundred and sixty-five degrees on Sunday; The surrounding area is two feet and four inches, according to the political calendar twenty-four qi.
On the top of the big ding, there are carved mountains, rivers and trees, grass, trees, insects and fish, all of which are lifelike.
Two days ago, the Kyushu Ding of the Shu Han Dynasty had been sent to Shanhai City, and Ouyang Shuo was busy discussing the reorganization of the army with the minister, so he didn't care about it.
After the army reorganization plan was finalized one by one, Ouyang Shuo arrived.
This successful collection of Jiuding means that the S-level task [Dayu Jiuding] has been completed, Ouyang Shuo wants to know how these nine Dading will change.
