Huang Jinfeng hurriedly ran out to get busy, Hu Wei waited all night, originally wanted to have a good chat with Huang Jinfeng, but now it's good, in a blink of an eye, he was left alone to soak *book*(

I didn't sleep all night, and Hu Wei didn't feel sleepy, so he just went out of the house to go around

I haven't been in the imperial capital for more than half a year, Hu Wei thought that there would be some strange changes in the city, but he turned a big circle, except that the city became broken and old, there was no change, which couldn't help but make Hu Wei a little disappointed

After thinking about it, Hu Wei was relieved that in this period of war, it was very difficult for the common people to even survive, and where did they have any intention to make any changes

After going around, Hu Wei's mood has also improved a lot of people who have come back from the battlefield, in fact, what they want to see most is this kind of peaceful life, although the current people are not living very well, but at least they don't need to avoid the military disaster, and they can be regarded as having a temporary peace

Found a teahouse, Hu Wei sat down, tasting a very ordinary tea, planning to calculate tomorrow's affairs, the problem of the demon clan, Qin Ming's problem, the problem of the countries of the Tianfeng Continent, the problem of the Immortal Bird Legion itself, and many questions

Hu Wei doesn't know how many times he has thought about these things, but there has never been a time when he is so calm as today, and it feels really comfortable to think about it without so much aggression

In the next few days, Hu Wei went out of the house early every morning, holding a book in his hand, wandering around casually without a certain goal, and there was no place where he had to go, just stop and go, from time to time in the small book to record what red leaves, a few of Hu Wei's small books are very curious, Hu Wei did not hide, let them look at the things on it at will, red leaves, they read it, but they don't understand it at all, if this book is not from Hu Wei's hand, they still think it is a child who scribbles

It's not all wrong to say it's graffiti, because there is not a word on the word Hu Wei, most of the drawings are some symbols that he only understands himself, many years later, this book is called the wordless book of heaven by the world, and if you understand it, you can rule the country and level the world, but now it's nothing, just a notebook

On this day, Hu Wei came back from outside the city, and asked the herald to order the generals of the army to discuss the big tent at eight o'clock tomorrow, this is the first time Hu Wei came back this time to recruit his subordinates to meet, three days ago, Zhu Daneng came to find Hu Wei, but he couldn't see Hu Wei

The senior generals of the legion all knew that Hu Wei must have something important to announce in his notice to the council this time, so they rushed to the venue early one by one and asked each other about each other, hoping to receive the news first, so they had a good preparation in their hearts

After inquiring and inquiring, the generals found that even heavy generals like Hongye and Zhu Daneng didn't know what Hu Wei was going to discuss, and they were all curious

At eight o'clock, Hu Wei officially called for the meeting, and the people who received Hu Wei's order, no matter how busy they were, all arrived, and they were so busy that Huang Jinfeng, who had not seen anyone for a few days, arrived at the big tent, and no one dared to talk and laugh, making the atmosphere of the venue relatively strict

At the meeting, Hu Wei analyzed the shape of the Tianfeng countries, and then focused on putting forward the strategic goal of all-out economic development, which Hu Wei had also talked about before, and all the generals knew that there was nothing strange about it, just when everyone thought that Hu Wei was just holding a regular meeting today, Hu Wei suddenly threw out a word -- disarmament

As soon as Hu You's words came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation, and even Hongye and Ximen Yufeng, who were the closest to Hu Wei, were frightened by Hu Wei

The word disarmament has not been said by no one before, but it was all said in peacetime, but now it is wartime, on the battlefield, how many soldiers feel that it is not enough, and they want all the people to be soldiers, but Hu Wei proposed to disarm at this time

If this is not from Hu Wei's mouth, if anyone else says it, I am afraid that he will be smoked so that my mother will not recognize him, this is a natural brain-burning, and the whole army will be brought into the fire pit...,

You must know that the current Immortal Bird Legion is not the Immortal Bird Legion of a few years ago, and the total number of troops was more than four million at its peak, and the current Undead Bird Legion, even if you add those who are still fighting in other places and have not taken back, it is less than one million and one million, and then there is any leftover in disarmament?

Zhu Daneng can be regarded as Hu Wei's old subordinate, few people can compare to him in the qualifications of the Immortal Bird Legion, and he almost never opposes any of Hu Wei's proposals, but this time he was the first to jump out

"Young Marshal, I don't think it's appropriate to disarm"

Zhu Daneng's reason is very simple, the Mandala Empire has seventy-two big cities, three hundred and sixty towns, and every place needs troops to guard this alone, and now more than 100 percent of the troops are not enough, and it is not enough to disarm them

Hu Wei quietly listened to Zhu Daneng's words, asked, and said, "In the general's opinion, how many troops do we need to hold these towns?"

If you don't say enough, then you have to give a sufficient number

Zhu Daneng was born as a military general, and when he was usually fine, he pondered these things all day long, and when he heard the words, he replied: "At least three million must have more than three million troops to protect the city gate."

"And then?" Hu Wei continued

This question was a bit clueless, and Zhu Daneng couldn't understand it

"And then what?" Zhu Daneng looked puzzled

Hu Wei asked, "What are you going to do after protecting the town?"

If you protect it, you can protect it, what else can you do?

This time, it's not just Zhu Daneng who can't understand it, almost everyone sitting here can't understand that the army has been living in the army since ancient times to protect the city, where is there any other saying

Hu Wei didn't explain, and asked another question, which Hu Wei asked not only Zhu Daneng, but everyone present

I only heard Hu Wei ask: "What do you think the town garrison is for?"

Although everyone's answers have certain differences, they generally mean the same thing, that is, to protect the people, garrison the city, and protect the people, which is the meaning of the army

Hu Wei nodded, first recognized everyone's answers, and then asked: "Now that the people everywhere have no food and no clothes, and then send troops to them, what is the difference between directly robbing them?"

Hu Wei's words made everyone stupid, and they felt that Hu Wei's words seemed wrong, but they couldn't come up with anything to refute Hu Wei, Hu Wei was right, soldiers have to eat to support their families, they can't work in vain, they have to use money to raise soldiers, but where does the money come from, naturally it comes from the people, and the people can't even eat enough now, where is the money to send troops to them, is it to protect them or harm them?

"But without an army, what should the enemy do if he attacks?" Zhu Daneng was a little anxious, he couldn't go without soldiers for a day, and the soldiers were all cut off to fight

Hu Wei smiled faintly and said: "I mean disarmament, not disbanding the army, we naturally have to resist when the enemy comes."

After turning around, Hu Wei said his thoughts, which Hu Wei thought of when he was working with Huang Jinfeng that day

The huge number of troops not only imposes a huge financial burden on the corps in terms of military expenditure, but also creates various problems in command and management at all levels

And one of the most important problems is that the huge number of troops did not bring great victory to the legion, Hu Wei compared the past examples of the legion and found that the most powerful time of the Immortal Bird Legion was when the legion was just established, and that was also the time when the number of undead bird legions was the smallest, and then as the undead bird legion became larger and larger, the combat power of the legion became weaker and weaker

Yes, the Immortal Bird Legion used to have nearly four million soldiers, but that was the period when the legion's combat strength was at its lowest, due to the blind broad army, the soldiers were mixed with loyalty, and the soldiers did not necessarily have a problem, but in terms of ability, they were greatly inferior to the soldiers in the early stage...,

In the past few years, the regiment's record has not been good, in several major battles, the loss of several million troops has become a million in a straight line, and the loss is more than 70 percent, and these people may not all be killed, but the losses are certain

Hu Wei also analyzed the reasons for the defeat, there were many reasons for the defeat, but the most important one was that the army was too large and complicated to all kinds of problems, because there were too many people, at first it was a small problem, and then it slowly became bigger, and then it became bigger, and finally caused the defeat of the whole army

Hu Wei gave a few examples at the meeting, and then analyzed one by one whether Hu Wei was not there in those years, but the generals who were sitting were basically there, and many battles were personally commanded by the generals who were there, and what problems happened on the battlefield at that time were clearer than anyone else

Hu Wei said one by one, there are more and more generals at the bottom, they only knew that they had been defeated, and they never sat down to carefully analyze the reasons for the defeat After being analyzed by Hu Wei like this, they found that the strength of the demon clan is certainly a big factor, but many factors are still in the internal problems of the army

Compared with the battle of Huangshanhe, the biggest reason why this battle will be lost is that there is not enough food and why is there not enough food, because there are too many people and horses Huangshanhe is just a mountain city, and the inhabitants are only 50,000 in such a city, at that time, 200,000 troops were actually pulled up, the army was four times that of the residents, and the whole city was almost crowded and overwhelmed, so many troops were pulled, even if they could win, they were actually slaughtered by the demon clan, and they were slaughtered by the demon clan, plus 50,000 people, and if they couldn't beat 10,000 demon soldiers, it must be useful?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the legion wants elite soldiers, soldiers who can fight and soldiers who don't have combat power, no matter how much they want, it's useless," Hu Wei finally concluded

The generals sitting here didn't say a word, they never realized that too many troops were also a problem Hu Wei has proved this with an example, making them realize the horror of this

"Young Marshal, what do you think is the appropriate number of legions?" asked Zhu Daneng

Among the several battles that Hu Wei analyzed before, one was that after the war under his command, he pushed most of the problems to the strength of the demon race, and the problem that Hu Wei analyzed was a health problem

Losing a war is actually a health problem, doesn't that sound ridiculous?

But this is the case, Zhu Daneng led 300,000 troops at that time, because Zhu Daneng was born in logistics, and there was no problem in the grain and grass

Ra and Sa

When Zhu Daneng has 300,000 soldiers in his hands, using a relatively stolen number to calculate the average soldier has one and three urine a day, that is, 300,000 bubbles of, 900,000 bubbles of urine and 300,000 army camp tents are connected, and the horses have to run all the way for an hour The soldiers can't get out of the camp for, so they can only be solved on the spot, and then what is the result, the barracks are full of and urine, and in the end, before the battle with the demons, there was a plague in the army, more than half of the 300,000 soldiers vomited and discharged, and the demons only used 5,000 soldiers and horses to sweep them away

He said that this problem can be solved with a toilet, and there is no need for disarmament

But the problem is not on the toilet, but on the blind large-scale dispatch of troops, because at that time, the Immortal Bird Legion had three or four million troops, and any general who went out to fight without bringing a few dozen was embarrassed to tell others that he was going to fight with 5,000 demon soldiers, and he actually transferred 300,000 troops, which is simply a big joke, if there are not so many soldiers in the legion, how can this happen?

Hu Wei pondered for a while and said: "How many troops the Immortal Bird Legion should have, it's not what I think, but it should be calculated, that is, my focus today, everyone here is a long-term experience in sand warfare, and no one will be less, I hope that after you go back today, use your brains to calculate the most reasonable size of the Immortal Bird Legion with your own experience and judgment of the current situation"...,

After the meeting, Hu Wei returned directly to the house, went into the back house, and chatted with his parents Hu Feitian and Liu Piaopiao, and didn't even see the red leaves

The next day, when the meeting was held again, before the words were spoken, Hu Wei saw a pair of red eyes and a pair of bloodshot eyes, silently telling the story of their master who had not slept all night

The results of the calculations came out, and it was promised that the number of the Immortal Bird Legion should be around 500,000 and 500,000 soldiers, which was enough to deal with any problem

Of course, the premise of these 500,000 soldiers is that the combat power of the soldiers must reach the standard of the original Blizzard Legion, that is, the average level of the soldiers of the Undead Bird Legion is not as good as the previous Blizzard Legion

Hu Wei was satisfied with this number, because the result of his own calculations was almost the same, that is, this number had 500,000 troops, which was very sufficient, and no matter how much it was, it was useless

After nearly a day of discussion and analysis, it was finally decided that the Immortal Bird Legion would be disarmed to 500,000 in five major military regions, east, west, north, south, and central, each of which would be 10 and 10 divisions, and that each division and regiment would be named 15 divisions and regiments, from 01 Division to 50 Divisions, and would no longer use the previous number

Hu Wei is still the commander of the Fifth Route Army for the young marshal, Zhu Daneng, Hou San, Harrison, Chen Dali, Ouyang Narcissus each lead the first road, Hongye, Ximen Yufeng and Ouyang Hanbing withdrew from the direct command of the army

At the same time, Hu Wei's personal guard battalion was also reorganized again, with a number of 5,000, which was handled by Yaya, Jebe and Wang Yiwei, and personally dispatched by Hu Wei during the war

This is the most important reorganization of the legion since Hu Wei established the Immortal Bird Legion

Later historians said that this was the most crucial adaptation of the Immortal Bird Legion's final victory, which not only made a comprehensive purge of the various problems brought about by the rapid expansion of the army for more than ten years, but also prevented the troops from being bloated to a streamlined number of troops, blurred the influence of senior officers on the headquarters, and made some dissenting generals support their own troops......

Of course, these are the benefits analyzed by historians, this time of disarmament, Hu Wei also encountered a lot of trouble, the Immortal Bird Legion has always been the first choice for all aspiring young people to join the army, this time not only do not want people, but lay off people, once the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation, and there were even rumors that the Immortal Bird Legion could not do it and so on

However, Hu Wei was determined to do so this time, even if he encountered a big problem, under his power, all of them were suppressed, and the entire legion became much more refreshed

The generals have fewer people in charge, and they have more energy, and they have more time to train their own troops, in order to shine in the future wars, under the prompting of Hu Wei, many troops have also set up special companies, this special company is different from the previous special regiment, special companies are real all-round soldiers, their main task is not on the frontal battlefield, but special tasks such as revenge, assassination, and even poisoning

At the same time as the reorganization of the troops, there was also the issue of public security and defense in towns, and Hu Wei was bold in this reorganization, and he delegated all the tasks of public security and defense in each city to the hands of the town committee, and the members of this town committee were elected by the local people themselves, and the committee was responsible for all the affairs of collecting taxes, public security, and so on, while Hongye, Ximen Yufeng, and Ouyang Hanbing, who had retired from the army, were in charge of town affairs

Hu Wei's management of the town is somewhat like a democratization system, and the three people of Hongye are only responsible for guiding and mediating, and are not directly involved in the specific affairs of the town

After a series of reorganizations, the Immortal Bird Legion finally broke away from all kinds of complicated things and became a simple combat force, and at the same time as the reorganization of the Undead Bird Legion, the Qin Ming Group and the Demon Group also solved their own troubles respectively, Qin Ming completely mastered the Sebai Empire, and the Demon Clan's Golden Tooth replaced the Great Demon God and became the commander of the Demon Race

The Heavenly Wind Continent is once again cloudy, and the Great War is about to break out (to be continued)
