"Great King, Generalissimo Yue Fei is asking to see you outside the palace!" Xiao Dezi said to Xiao Chenqi, who was dealing with the government.

Xiao Chen put down the fold in his hand, raised his head and said suspiciously, "Why is Pengju looking for me at this time?" Forget it, let Marshal Yue come in! “

"No!" Xiao Dezi answered and walked out of the temple gate.

When the door of the hall opened again, Yue Fei and Xiao Dezi walked into the study. Seeing Yue Fei coming, Xiao Chen also got up from his seat and stepped forward.

"Pengju, you don't go home to coax the child, you come to find this king, but what's the matter? Haha..."Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Yue Fei was speechless for a moment, and only said later: "King Qiqi, the last general wants to discuss the matter of disarmament with the king!" “

Hearing Yue Fei talk about disarmament, Xiao Chen also straightened his demeanor and said, "Come, take a seat!" Xiao Dezi, go make a pot of tea! “

"No!" Xiao Dezi left in response.

Xiao Chen sat on the chair and said, "Pengju, disarmament is a must. The finances of the imperial court cannot afford to support 8 million army and 1 million sailors, and only by disarmament can the imperial court develop and grow better. Otherwise, just the military salary, in a few years, will be able to crush the imperial court! “

Yue Fei also frowned and said, "The last general also knows this, but is it really appropriate to disarm now?" If we cut half of the army, there will be only four million army and one million sailors left, for a total of five million troops. But now the army of the Xia Kingdom is full of eight million, and the armies of some countries around us are also around three or four million. If we disarm, it will be almost impossible for us to expand. “

"Yes, but disarmament still needs to be done as soon as possible! As the territory of our country grows larger and larger, and there are more and more dangers within each country, the war has begun to compete in logistical capabilities. It's as if we were in Mount Veracas, facing the country where the sun never sets for months. If it weren't for the advance of the Xia Kingdom, we don't know how long we would have to confront the main force of the Sun Never Set Country. Xiao Chen said worriedly.

This is a fact, in the past, everyone's territory was not large, and the strategic depth was small, as long as the troops could be crushed, they could almost fight in one battle. But the game has been going on for six years, and it is the elite players who can really stand on the continent. Even the worst of these players have almost become marquis, and the vast territory of hundreds of cities already has a small strategic depth. At the same time, there is no danger in any country. It's like the Xipingguan fortress group in Beichen Kingdom now, although the area in front of the fortress is very large, but with the efforts of Beichen Kingdom, the fortress group with a length of 100 miles and a width of dozens of miles was established. As long as a million troops are thrown to garrison, even if there are tens of millions of people, it will be necessary to pay a great price to completely pass through the fortress group first.

Besides, there has been no shortage of troops in the Beichen Kingdom. With the largest population on the continent, it has the most powerful war potential. If one day, the enemy kills outside Xiping Pass, and Beichen Kingdom instantly pulls up an army of 10 or 20 million, which is like playing. The maximum defensive strength of the Xiping Pass fortress group is 6 million, plus there are more large armies in the rear to support, and there is no army of 100 million people who want to break through Xiping Pass.

"So how many troops does the king plan to dismantle! Could it be according to Li Qing's plan yesterday? Yue Fei continued to ask.

"I plan to establish five major camps in China, namely the Northern Army Camp, the Linhai Camp, the Western Army Camp, the Zhongdu Camp and the Fengdu Camp. Among them, except for the Fengdu camp, which only has 500,000 soldiers and horses, the rest of the four major camps are all 1 million troops. There were 3,100,000 standing troops and 1,400,000 servants. Together with 1 million naval divisions, they constitute our country's existing national defense system. In addition, the garrison in the country was arranged according to the city. The garrison of the first-line city located on the border line is 5,000 men, which is called the garrison brigade. The garrison of the second-tier city not far from the border is 2,000 to 3,000 men, and it is called the garrison regiment. The garrison of the city in the third line is 1,000 people, which is called the garrison battalion. The important passes, state towns, county towns, and capital cities all range from 10,000 to 50,000 people, and are called garrisons. In addition, the self-organized escort teams of villages in various places, as well as the road guards stationed in the dense road network in the country, form a complete military system in the country. ”

Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and continued: "This army system is very huge, if you calculate it carefully, our army is not much less. And like the Guards and the Guards, I'm going to use the troops that have been cut down. This will not only reduce the financial pressure on the country, but also make the enemy's spies unable to figure out what we are doing. However, this matter still needs you to help the king and take care of it well. ”

"The king's national army system is very good, and the last general is naturally willing to smear the king's liver and brain!" Yue Fei also praised without hesitation.

This system is completely impossible to pick, and perhaps the standing army is not very sufficient. But the fact that there are escorts all over the country alone is enough for the Beichen Kingdom to break out its own war potential at any time. Coupled with the millions of road guards, Yue Fei could imagine the expression on his face when the enemy thought that Beichen Kingdom only had four million elite troops, but suddenly found that Beichen Country had inexplicably millions more elites.

"By the way, my lord, is it true that all the royal forces are going to be abolished?" Yue Fei suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.

"That's right, the royal army must also be abolished, including the establishment of the Royal Army and the cavalry, all of which must be abolished!" Xiao Chen said helplessly. In fact, Xiao Chen didn't want to abolish these establishments, but almost 80 percent of the personnel in many establishments had already been killed or injured, and there was no way to form them at all. The royal army does not yet have the military soul of the later generations, unlike the elite troops in reality, even if there is one person left, as long as the military spirit is still there, it can be reorganized again. The combat effectiveness of the royal army is completely dependent on the personal combat power of the soldiers and their belief in Xiao Chen. It's just that now the loss of personnel is more than 80 percent, and even if it is reorganized, it will not have the glory of the past!

"Alas, many officers and men in the army are now proud of the royal army, and once it is abolished, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the army!" Yue Fei was very worried about this.

"That's also something that can't be helped, this time the royal army has lost too much. Even if it is reorganized, the combat effectiveness is not even as strong as the combat effectiveness of some elite units now. If we reorganize like this, once the royal forces are defeated on the battlefield in the future, our losses will be even greater. It is better to let the royal forces die in their former glory now, and it is more glorious to be defeated by the flood than to be defeated by the enemy. Xiao Chen said.

"It's a pity for these elite soldiers of the Royal Army!" Yue Fei sighed wistfully.

"Yes, if it weren't for this king's insistence, the most elite army of the 600,000 Beichen Kingdom would not have been destroyed in one fell swoop."

"It's not all about the king. By the way, the king, the current five major camps, how do we compile them, and do we still use the previous ones. Yue Fei said.

"No, when the nature of war changed, the old army was already backward. The war has now completely begun to turn into a logistical contest, and within a year or two, the armies of all countries in the world will be drastically reduced. At that time, there will be no tens of millions of troops participating in a war at the same time. And the current establishment of an army of 100,000 people is already too large, and it cannot flexibly cope with changes in the war situation. ”

\ Chariot Brigade (1,000 men), the whole division of about 45,000 soldiers. In the upper words, it is arranged according to the situation of the war, such as the army. The First Army has three divisions under its jurisdiction and has 160,000 troops, and with the addition of the troops directly under the division, the communications regiment, and the scout regiment, the strength will reach more than 170,000. There are no cavalry units or chariot units in the establishment at or above the military level. ”

"However, the cavalry will also be a cavalry division, and the catapult troops will also be a chariot division. The corps-level establishment can be subordinate to infantry divisions, cavalry divisions, and chariot divisions, which can be matched at will according to the battlefield situation. In addition, the training of our army should also deviate a little, and we have begun to focus on squad training, and collective training must not be left behind. That's what I think, how about Pengju? After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he asked Yue Fei.

Yue Fei thought for a long time and said, "King, why do you want to add the baggage troops to the establishment. There are also communications and scouts, which can be made up of soldiers in the middle of the formation, which can also save troops. “

"It seems that Pengju, you still don't understand what I mean, these irregular combatants will all be re-selected to replenish the personnel, and the number of soldiers is not large. As a result, we will be removing a large number of troops. In addition, the Ministry of War now has a baggage department, and it is also necessary to set up a scout department and a communications department to complete the army system. “

"In that case, the king, our combatable soldiers will be greatly reduced. I'm afraid that the real combatants are less than 30,000, and this division has 50,000 people, is it too few combatants? Yue Fei asked in a tangled manner.

Who knew that Xiao Chen laughed and said: "It's a lot, I've calculated, there are only about 20,000 combatants in a division." And the remaining more than 20,000 people, only a few thousand people are chariot troops, with catapults in their hands, which can support the infantry. But don't underestimate these non-combatants. With them, the combat sustaining ability of one of our divisions can be doubled or even several times. “

"This, the last general is still a little worried!" Yue Fei still said worriedly.

"My generalissimo, there are nearly 50,000 people in a division, and there are indeed only more than 20,000 real combatants, but no one has said that other units have no combat effectiveness. In addition to the healers, they were to be trained in the same way as the officers and men of the standing army, even the baggage soldiers. Isn't that the end of it? “

”。。。。” Yue Fei was speechless for a moment, and for the first time he knew that the baggage soldiers could also use elite troops to do it. Perhaps, if you do this, the enemy will be surprised when the baggage troops are attacked.

"By the way, there are also those local garrisons, and the establishment is also like this, but the number is less than that of the standing army, Pengju, you look at the arrangement. After a while, we will start disarming, and when the time comes, you will report everything back to me. I've got a lot of twists and turns to work on here, it's really annoying! Xiao Chen muttered to himself with resentment.

Yue Fei also stood up with interest and said, "The king should pay attention to rest, the last general will retire first!" ”

————————————————————————

It was not until four months later that the Beichen Army officially completed the dismantling of the army. The time for the dismissal lasted three and a half months, and the remaining half month was mainly the mobilization of various personnel, weapons, and equipment. After the abolition, each of the four major battalions of the Beichen Army had an establishment of 20 infantry divisions, plus two cavalry divisions. Among them, there are 14 Han infantry divisions, with a strength of 630,000 troops. There were six infantry divisions of the servant army, with a strength of 270,000 troops. There were two cavalry divisions with 90,000 troops, and the total strength was 990,000.

Only the Fengdu Battalion differed from the other four battalions, and the Fengdu Battalion had only ten infantry divisions, plus one cavalry division. Among them, there were six Han infantry divisions with 270,000 troops, and four servant infantry divisions with 180,000 troops. There was one cavalry division with 45,000 troops, and the total strength was 495,000 men.

After the disarmament, there are 62 Han infantry divisions in the national standing army, which are the 1st ~ 62nd divisions of the standing army. There are twenty-eight infantry divisions of the servant army, which are the 1st ~ 28th divisions of the servant army. There are nine cavalry divisions, namely the standing 1st ~ 9th cavalry divisions.

At this point, the military system of Beichen Kingdom is completely complete!
