Chapter 1068: Border Guards
Finalize the matter of Dali, and then it will be the turn of Goryeo, Nanzhang and Zhenla.
First of all, Goryeo.
"Cut Goryeo into two counties and annex them to Northern Xinjiang Province, and move the provincial seat from Stubborn Rock City to Seoul."
The original northern Xinjiang province only had two counties, Zhangwu and Fengtian, some of which were not worthy of the name, but with the incorporation of Goryeo, the territory of the province became abundant, and it became a heavyweight province in the north of Great Xia.
As for the relocation of the governance and weakening the influence of the Pillar in the Stubborn Stone City, it is naturally the proper meaning of the question, there is no need for Ouyang Shuo to make it clear, the three people here are all human spirits, how can they not understand.
Then there is the deployment of troops in the northern provinces.
Soon after the end of the Battle of Goryeo, Li Jing led the Flying Bear Army back to Shu, and the Praetorian Guard led by Huo Qubing also returned to the capital a few days ago.
Only the Northern Xinjiang Corps was left guarding the northern frontier.
"Northern Xinjiang is unstable, and heavy troops need to be deployed!" Ouyang Shuo said.
To the north of the northern Xinjiang province is the Jin country, which has just entered the wilderness, and its strength is strong. To the south, it borders not only Handan Castle, but also a large area of Kyoto-gun.
If nothing else, it must be the Qing Emperor who will enter Kyoto.
Ouyang Shuo did not forget that the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty and the Jurchens of the Jin State were originally in the same line, and it was natural for the Qing Emperor to settle in Kyoto and join forces with the Jin State.
In that case, the northern province sandwiched between the two would be in big trouble. At that time, Handan City will be on the side, even if there are two teleportation arrays in the Northern Xinjiang Province, the situation will be quite difficult.
You can't say that you will teleport an army whenever something happens.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo said categorically: "We must capture the Jin Kingdom before the Qing Emperor enters Kyoto, and eliminate a disaster first, so as not to suffer the enemy on the back." ”
If you want to get rid of the Jin country, you need a large army.
In the First Battle of Goryeo, especially the Battle of Seoul, both the enemy and us fought extremely fiercely, and the casualties were very large. According to post-war statistics, after the Flying Bear Army and the Praetorian Guard made up the shortage, there were still 300,000 prisoners of war left.
After streamlining, four field corps can be reorganized.
Ouyang Shuo looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Three of the four legions are incorporated into the Northern Xinjiang Corps. ”
"In that case, the Northern Xinjiang Corps will have five corps, which is equivalent to a full-fledged group army, and it does not match the positioning of the corps, should it be upgraded to a group army?" Du Ruhui said suspiciously.
There are rules in the army, and what kind of army name is given is a matter of great importance.
Since the Northern Xinjiang Corps is a corps establishment, its sequence in the Great Xia Army is lower than that of the group army. If the five corps of the Northern Xinjiang Corps are given an establishment and the corresponding status is not given, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the officers and men in the army.
Ouyang Shuo listened, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
According to Ouyang Shuo's plan, the number of the Great Xia Group Army is fixed, and the directly subordinate legions include the Praetorian Guard, the newly formed Guards, the Yulin Army that has not yet been formed, and the City Guard.
The group armies in the opposition include the five numbers of Longxiang, Huben, Baotao, Yingyang, and Feixiong, and the two together form nine group armies.
Nine is the extreme.
In this way, the balance of strength between the direct legion and the opposition legion can be well balanced, and there will be no situation where the outside is heavy and the inside is light, nor will there be a situation where the inside is heavy and the outside is light.
Another point is that according to the Great Xia system, the commander of the group army is to enter the military aircraft department. Once the number of the group army is overflowing, the military aircraft minister of the military aircraft department will also become proliferating and affect the authority.
But what Du Ruhui said is also very reasonable.
When Ouyang Shuo was in a dilemma, Zhang Liang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, regarding this matter, Weichen has a way for the king to refer to it. ”
"Tell me about it." Ouyang Shuo immediately became interested.
Zhang Liang came out of the horse, a top two.
Weichen suggested that according to what Master Du said, the Northern Xinjiang Corps could be upgraded to a group army, and it would be called the Northern Xinjiang Army for the time being. The difference is that the Northern Xinjiang Army can be included in the border guard system and separated from the Longxiang Army and other field military regions. ”
"Border guards?" It's a new concept.
Zhang Liang replied: "The border guards are relative to the field army. The so-called border defense, as the name suggests, means to garrison the frontier. Therefore, the border guards are only responsible for a certain section of the fixed border and are not easily transferred out of the defense area. Unless it involves the defense area, it does not participate in the foreign wars of the dynasty, and belongs to a semi-fixed army sequence. ”
Ouyang Shuo listened and nodded unconsciously.
As Zhang Liang said, as Bactria continued to expand to the outside world, while the territory became larger and larger, the border line became longer and longer, and it was indeed necessary to set up a border guard army to garrison the frontier.
At present, although the Longxiang Army and other field armies are also shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the border of a certain section, they often have to participate in the dynasty's foreign wars.
During the National War Month, there is Gaia protection, so it is naturally safe.
What if Great Xia didn't fight abroad during the National War Month, and it happened to need a large-scale requisition of field troops? In that case, the border guards will become very empty, and it will be easy for nearby enemies to take advantage of them.
With professional border guards, the situation will be very different. In this way, Great Xia's foreign conquest will become more flexible, with many fewer scruples, and the benefits are very obvious.
The question now is how to solve the problem of the status of the border guards.
Zhang Liang also had a calculation, and said: "The directly subordinate corps and the field army are in the first sequence, the border guards are in the second sequence, the provincial garrison division and the city garrison are in the third sequence, and the reserve is in the fourth sequence. Since the border guards are in the second order, it can be said that the border guards are not in command of the military aircraft. ”
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Zhang Liang appreciatively.
In this way, it not only solves the problem of the number of troops, but also does not add to the blockage of the military aircraft department, and even includes the previously established garrison units, killing three birds with one stone.
It is worthy of seeking sainthood, and considering the problem is tricky.
"What Aiqing said is very much in line with me." Ouyang Shuo directly clapped the decision and said: "The imperial decree, the Northern Xinjiang Corps will be expanded into five corps, and it will be upgraded to the Northern Xinjiang Army immediately. Yue Fei was appointed as the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army and received the rank of general of Erpin Zhenbei. Chen Yucheng, the former commander of the Northern Xinjiang Corps, was promoted to deputy commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army. ”
"No!"
Du Ruhui suddenly realized why the king arranged for Yue Fei to serve as Li Jing's deputy during the National War Month and went to Goryeo with the army, it turned out that he had laid the groundwork early in the morning, intending to reuse this person.
Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general in history, finally soared into the sky and became a pivotal presence in the Great Xia Army. What is even more rare is that the Northern Xinjiang Army led by Yue Fei happened to face the Jin State in the north.
Among the generals of Great Xia, apart from Sheyue Fei, who else is worthy of this position?!
During the National War Month, Han Shizhong, another famous anti-Jin general who was as famous as Yue Fei, had also rushed to Daxia to surrender, and this time he was appointed by Ouyang Shuo as the commander of the Third Army of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
The alliance between Yue Fei and Han Shizhong will give Jin Guo a headache.
