A month later, in the imperial study, Lin Ruofeng lay quietly in the Taishi chair. Now that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, the whole country will gradually return to normal from the festive atmosphere. Lin Ruofeng also closed his eyes, sipping hot tea from time to time, and several simple and heavy copper stoves were in full swing, making this study warm. In several animal head incense burners, sandalwood is curling, which makes people calm and relaxed. Lin Ruofeng couldn't help but take stock of his lost situation, which was after he came to this world. Although it took a total of nine years and a few months. But it's already in its tenth year. In total, he has slightly rectified the military, agriculture, and the rule of officials.

Let's talk about the military first, a battle with the orcs Tianwolf Pass, a war with the Rakshasas, Persia, the Great Food Country, the Orcs and the Wokos, although they all won in the end, but in fact, the overall national strength was also hurt a lot. The strength of the army as a whole has also decreased due to the number of dead and wounded millions of people in the two great wars. And now the Great Food Kingdom and the Persian State are still outside the Chen Bing Pass, eyeing Da Zhao, and the biggest pressure is still the Roman Empire and the Holy See, tens of millions of troops with very amazing strength are hanging on Da Zhao's head with sharp broadswords, if it weren't for the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire have always been at odds, it is not yet known whether Da Zhao can withstand it, and it is not yet time for him to breathe a sigh of relief.

The speed at which the magic race recovers its vitality is much faster than the recovery time of the Great War True Qi race, and besides, the rich Holy See will definitely support them behind their backs, which is a great pressure on Da Zhao.

Fortunately, a considerable amount of supplies were captured from Bayanzhur and Bulgan in this battle, and a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor were obtained in the defensive counterattack of Bulgan, which could be exchanged for a large amount of gold and silver to replenish and restore the army. There is no need to shell out too much money from the treasury.

Now the treasury is also quite abundant. Just a month. The gold and silver assets found in the capital city of Xuzhou alone are equivalent to at least 300 million taels of silver. The amount is quite shocking, but now these terrifying amounts of silver money also provide a material basis for Lin Ruofeng to display his ambitions, with money, as long as he is not embezzled, it is quite convenient to do things.

First of all, Lin Ruofeng set out to reform the army, without a strong army, it is impossible to have a stable country, no matter how rich a country is, no matter how good the people's life is, it is also a flower in the mirror. Just like the Southern Song Dynasty in the previous time and space, the most prosperous economy in history has become the most sloppy dynasty in history.

Among the combat armies of Da Zhao and the local army. Except for his own Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and Xiao Cavalry Army, as well as some troops that have more or less learned a lot of war experience and blood because of the two wars, the strength of the entire Great Zhao army has hardly improved. On the contrary, because of the large number of dead and wounded, the reserve recruits were replenished, and the overall strength declined. It can be seen that while making every effort to build an army of 600,000 Xiao cavalry, it is also necessary to improve the combat capability of the entire Great Zhao army. Ordinary border guards and local armies as reserves are also indispensable.

Lin Ruofeng, who has traveled through more than nine years, is no longer the stunned young man who didn't understand anything at the beginning. It is also a comprehensive understanding of the state of the empire's army. After this war, the army of the Great Zhao Empire, except for the Rouran Iron Cavalry and Lin Ruofeng's field army, which was composed of cavalry, was mainly composed of infantry troops, and the combined light and heavy cavalry were less than two million. The infantry army, which is also mostly light infantry wearing leather armor, has poor defense and weak combat effectiveness. The cavalry is slightly better, after all, each cavalry is mostly a pro-army in the border guards and local armies of various armies, and the equipment, supplies and training are quite sufficient. The rest of the infantry army, except for some border guards with slightly better equipment, the rest were simply scum, not much stronger than the peasant army. If it is placed on the plain to fight with the Rakshasa soldiers, the ratio of casualties is probably as high as six to one, compared with the orc infantry, if it can reach twenty to one, Lin Ruofeng and General Da Zhao will snicker. But this garbage soldier. There are more than 7.2 million people scattered in various provinces and localities.

Even if it is a perennial frontier army, it may not be much better, at most it is twice as good as the local army, and the mortality rate of the infantry of the magic race can only reach three to one in the field, and it is about seven to one compared with the orc infantry.

Lin Ruofeng thought about it again and again, and decided to form a military discipline camp with henchmen and masters, so that the people in the Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and the Xiao Cavalry Army could take turns to take charge. Under his own direct command. They specially went to the garrison troops and border defense headquarters of all counties throughout the country to make surprise inspections of the staffing, training, and equipment of the county and county headquarters. Once it is found that there are any problems, such as eating empty salaries, eating equipment, practicing slacking off, etc. You can directly ask for guilt according to the size of the problem, and the highest can be the commander of the command to make a decision, and then report to yourself after the beheading, inform the superiors, and ask the guilty at each level, until the military governor's office.

With a garrison of 100,000 troops in each county, there are now 72 garrison troops of 7.2 million troops in the whole country, and the 12 million army of the border guards is a combat army of 300,000 troops. But Lin Ruofeng decided to restructure.

In the local army, the garrison army of each county is based on one battalion for every 10,000 troops. In this way, there will be seventy-two garrisons in the country, that is, seven hundred and twenty battalions. At the same time, the whole country is divided into 12 military regions, each military region has six county garrisons, and the six garrison armies are 60 battalions and 600,000 troops, and the military regions are distinguished by geographical location, such as the Northeast Military Region, the Jiangdong Military Region, the East China Military Region, the Jiangnan Military Region, the Southwest Military Region, the Northwest Military Region, and so on。

However, in order to restrain the full strength of these large military regions, Lin Ruofeng also adopted the control method of the modern army in the previous time and space, and the military region only has military power, but not administrative power and financial power, and implements the system of separating military and political affairs, so it is quite difficult for them to rebel.
