At the moment of unifying China, Ouyang Shuo's state of mind seemed to usher in another sharp change, becoming more distant and unfazed, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the fog of the sky and see the unknowable distance.

Ouyang Shuo's strategic vision can see farther than others without relying on the advantage of rebirth.

Dealing with the affairs of the empire, Ouyang Shuo has also become more calm, and it seems that he has reached a realm of "immovable as a mountain", and the spirit of the whole person is integrated and restrained.

At this moment, the "Five Emperors True Scripture" he practiced finally broke through to the tenth layer, and his body once again broke through the acquired limit and was promoted to the first order of innateness, ushering in a qualitative leap.

In order to cultivate to the tenth layer, Ouyang Shuo spent two years regaining his body.

It is conceivable that the later the "Five Emperors True Scripture", the more difficult it is to cultivate, and even the promotion of each level in the future is calculated in years.

When you encounter a level, if you can't have an epiphany, even a card is several years.

Just like this promotion from the ninth layer to the tenth layer, it took Ouyang Shuo more than nine months, which was almost equivalent to the sum of the cultivation time of the first eight layers.

If it weren't for this drastic change in mood, he might not have been promoted.

Serendipity, sometimes really elusive.

…………

With the remaining half a month of the remaining seven years of Gaia, the Bactria court quickly set a plan for the disposal of the Mongol Empire, setting the tone for the court to govern the Mongolian steppe.

The imperial court decided to divide the territory of the Mongol Empire into two, and the main area was established as the Northern Plains Province; The region of the Ögedai Khanate, the former Western Turkic region, was established as a province of the Western Frontier.

The two provinces occupy a wide area, especially the Beiyuan Province, spanning east and west, with grasslands, highlands, and Gobi deserts in the territory, both longitudinal and horizontal, are the largest areas of the native provinces.

The provinces of Western Xinjiang are also not far behind, with Gobi, mountains and basins within their borders.

The candidate for the governor of the Northern Plains Province, Ouyang Shuo unexpectedly circled, the former prime minister of the Mongol Empire, Yelu Chucai, one of the top ten famous ministers in China.

Ouyang Shuo did this after careful consideration.

One is that Yelu Chucai is not a Mongol and has no blood feud against Great Xia, and during Genghis Khan's coma, it was Yelu Chucai who came forward to stabilize the overall situation, so that Hala and Lin did not fall into chaos completely.

For Yelu Chucai, there was no choice but to be loyal to the empire.

Second, Yelu Chucai has long assisted the Khan in governing Mongolia, has rich experience, and also has a high prestige among the Mongols, and Yelu Chucai served as the governor of the Northern Plains, which is very helpful to stabilize the hearts of the people of the Northern Plains.

Based on this, Ouyang Shuo appointed this person as the governor of Beiyuan.

The candidate for the governor of the western Xinjiang province was designated as the Jingjian of Shaowu County in the southern Fujian province. Jing Jian is also an old minister of the empire, who once served as the director of the Supervision Commission, and because he avoided guarding the martingale, he was released to Shaowu County to guard.

This promotion to the governor of Western Xinjiang can be said to belong to everyone's expectations.

Whether it is a province in the north or a province in the western part of Xinjiang, like this, it is a border province, a province with a vast territory, and a complex ethnic composition, and the governor must choose the kind of strong man with strength.

Yelu Chucai and Jing Jian undoubtedly fit this trait.

Taking the opportunity of the establishment of the two major provinces, the imperial court also made an adjustment to the jurisdiction of the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, so as to adapt to the imperial strategy and make the two major metropolitan protectorates more worthy of the name.

A few days ago, the imperial court decided to separate the Northern Xinjiang Province and Yingzhou Province from the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate and reassign them to the direct management of the imperial court.

In this way, the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate went down to the two major provinces of Beiyuan and Liaojin to unify the northern border of the empire. The Togo Prefecture will also be moved from Kyoto to Hala and Rin, so as to better guard the northern border.

This is a new challenge for the siege lions of the northern frontier capital.

Whether he can defend the northern border for the empire and govern the northern border well is a test for Ouyang Shuo for the siege lion, and if the governance is good, the siege lion can go to a higher level in the future; If the governance is not good, don't blame Ouyang Shuo for not caring about the old feelings.

On the basis of Xikang Province and Xihai Province, the Western Xinjiang Protectorate was merged into the newly established Western Xinjiang Province to unify the western border of the empire.

This also means that the burden on the body of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protector is heavier.

The three major provinces under the Protectorate of Western Xinjiang correspond to the Qiang, Tubo and Mongolian ethnic groups respectively, and the geographical location is special, the development is lagging behind, and it is not easy to govern well.

After disposing of the Mongol Empire, Ouyang Shuo was faced with an even bigger problem, that is, how to settle 1.2 million "consumption troops" and nearly 600,000 Mongolian cavalry prisoners of war.

The easiest way, of course, is to abolish them altogether.

But it's also the stupidest and most expensive way to do it, and it's not on the table at all.

In particular, the 600,000 Mongol cavalry, although they surrendered, were still unruly, and if they were allowed to go home, they would definitely become a big problem for the empire to govern the northern frontier in the future.

Therefore, no matter what, it is necessary to find a way to restrain it in order to wear off its sharpness.

For this matter, Ouyang Shuo and the Senior Cabinet, the Privy Council, and the Military Aircraft Department repeatedly brewed, starting from the overall strategic situation of the empire and combining the needs of regional development, and finally decided on a combination plan.

First, to complete the South American Corps.

The South American Corps led by Wolf Warrior currently has only two corps, and Ouyang Shuo decided to select the elite from the 1.2 million surviving "consumption army" and supplement them into the South American Corps.

Of course, the South American Corps was promoted to the South American Army, and it was still commanded by the Wolf Warrior Army.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the strength of the Southern American Army, Ouyang Shuo also deliberately transferred Chi Jingde, a fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, to the Southern American Army and served as the commander of the Third Army Corps.

Second, the formation of the South Asian Army.

The South Asian Army is a newly established army group, and it is also the first new army group after the empire threw out the disarmament plan. From the name, it can be known that the South Asian Army is prepared for the future imperial conquest of Tianzhu.

If nothing else, the empire will not expand its army for a long time to come.

Commander of the South Asian Army, promoted by the commander of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard, the peerless fierce general, and the general of the Wuwei. In view of the increasing scarcity of the position of commander of the group army, this can be regarded as Ouyang Shuo's compensation for the veteran of the evil come.

The vacant position of corps commander was promoted by Shan Zhu, the division commander of the Iron Beast Cavalry Division directly under the Praetorian Guard. In this round of disarmament, the Praetorian Guard will no longer retain the independent formation of the Ironclad Cavalry Division directly under it.

Shanzhu was "laid off", just promoted to the commander of the corps, completing a replacement within the Praetorian Guard.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty general Cheng Yanjin was also transferred to the South Asian Army and served as the commander of the First Army.

Third, the three major construction corps will be formed.

In the future, if the empire wants to attack the Romanov dynasty in the north, it must base itself in the northern provinces, and if it wants to attack the Persian Empire in the west, it must establish itself in the western provinces.

In the same way, if you want to conquer Tianzhu in the southwest, you must base yourself in Xikang Province.

If these three frontier provinces could not provide strong grain and grass material support for the army on their own, and relied on transporting grain and grass from the Central Plains over long distances, it would be basically impossible to win.

If you really want to go to war, I am afraid that you will bring humiliation on yourself because of the lack of food and grass.

If you are determined to transport grain and grass from the Central Plains, then a big war may drag the empire down.

It is precisely for this reason that it is more important to intensify the development of the three major provinces and to reclaim the frontiers on a large scale than the formation of any group army, and it is also the premise of the empire's future expansion in Asia.

Without food and grass support, it would be futile to station as many troops as they could on the border.

Or, to put it another way, the empire simply could not station too large an army on the frontier until the grain production of the three major provinces reached a new level.

Not to mention anything else, just the daily logistics support of the army, it can't be done. In that case, let alone taking the initiative to attack other dynasties, it would be good to be able to defend the frontier.

It seems urgent to reclaim the frontier.

Based on such a strategic judgment, the three major construction corps of Beiyuan, Xijiang and Xikang came into being.

China has always had the tradition of reclamation and garrisoning, especially in the Western Regions, starting from the Tuntian garrison of the Western Han Dynasty, and passing through the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It has been inherited into modern society, and the tradition of reclamation and garrisoning has not been broken.

Ouyang Shuo was inspired by this, and decided to set up three major construction corps in one go, while reclaiming the frontier, accumulating grain and grass materials, and laying a material foundation for the expansion of the empire.

According to the preliminary calculations of the Privy Council, after replenishing the US forces in Yugoslavia, forming the South Asian Army, and eliminating some wounded, there are still 1.2 million soldiers waiting to be resettled.

In this way, each of the three major construction corps has 400,000 blind troops, which not only exceeds the ordinary corps establishment, but even the group army is beyond the reach of the dust.

This is not only that, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, after the conditions are ripe, the imperial court also allows the families of the soldiers to move to Tuntian District together to participate in production and construction.

In this way, the size of the construction corps will at least double.

This is also a must, with the current level of technology of the empire, such a scale is not an exaggeration, if there is an opportunity in the future, Ouyang Shuo will further expand the scale of the construction corps.

Only in this way can the three frontier provinces be revitalized.

Referring to the ancient system, the construction corps will be assigned to the dual leadership of the imperial court and the capital protectorate, and in wartime, the construction corps will also be temporarily under the jurisdiction of the war zone, and when necessary, the war zone can call up the corps to fight on the front line.

In this way, the selection of the commanders of the three major construction corps is of great importance and has rigid requirements.

First of all, if this person is from the military, otherwise, he will not be able to suppress such a group of unruly soldiers; Secondly, this person must understand some internal affairs and have certain management skills.

After all, the main task of the construction corps is to reclaim land, not to fight.

With such a screening, there are very few people to choose from.

Ouyang Shuo first circled the most important of the three major construction corps, and it is also the corps with the deepest historical origins, the commander of the Western Xinjiang Construction Corps, this person is none other than the former Great Zhou general, the former Danyang Army commander Tian Dan.

Historically, Tian Dan was worshiped by the generals, so he was naturally able to take on this important task.

Subsequently, Ouyang Shuo circled the commander of the Third Army of the City Guard, the veteran Ma Teng, as the commander of the Beiyuan Construction Corps.

Historically, Ma Teng operated Xiliang to protect the territory and the people, and he could also take on this important task in the future.

The commander of the last Xikang Construction Corps, the commander of the Second Army of the Flying Bear Army circled by Ouyang Shuo, is also a veteran, and it is Pei Renji, who is both civil and military.

Compared with young generals, veterans have an obvious advantage in this regard.

Old Cheng is serious, but it's not just talking.

At this point, the resettlement of the 1.8 million army came to an end.

Next, Great Xia will thoroughly sort out the subordination between the theater and the group army, clarify the imperial strategy, and lay the foundation of the future empire.
