Chapter 429: The Five Legions
In the next three months, Yuan Qi did not leave Yanjing for half a step, and his daily life was very regular, almost completely a life of three points and one line. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Every morning, Yuan Qi will hold a court meeting with the hundreds of officials of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and the time will last for about an hour, and give instructions on the major and minor affairs of the strong men; after that, Yuan Qi will come to the barracks to supervise and inspect the drills of the newly recruited soldiers in the recent period, and almost the entire morning, Yuan Qi will spend time in the barracks, and even many times, he will stay in the barracks to eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers, so that the recruits will gradually feel Yuan Qi's concern for the low-level sergeants, and greatly speed up the process of cultivating their military souls; after lunch, Yuan Qi will come to the general to inspect the achievements of Wang Yezi, Ma Jun, and other skilled craftsmen, and from time to time to praise them, encouraging these nameless behind-the-scenes heroes, the weapons and equipment needed by the generals, to build better.
Occasionally, Yuan Qi will also go to the bazaar in Yanjing City to pay a private visit to the micro-service, in order to investigate the people's situation, once it is found that there is a bad reputation in the mouth of the people, Yuan Qi will immediately arrange a hundred battles to return to investigate and collect evidence, if it is found that there are indeed fish and flesh, corruption and bending the law, all will be severely punished. But fortunately, in the past three months, Yuan Qi has only heard bad words from two officials in the DPRK and China from the mouths of the people, and after verification, only one of these two people has indeed filled his own pockets, and the other person has some problems in communication with the people just because of his personality, and he has not really violated the law. There were more than 200 military officials in the DPRK and Chinese, and the ratio of 1 in 200 still made Yuan Qi feel very pleased with the clarity of the officials.
Every evening, Yuan Qi would step back to his palace at sunset, go straight through several halls, and come to the harem. Share the joy of family with your family. During these three months, Yuan Qi would personally teach Yuan Shi for two hours every day after dinner, one of which was to read and write, and the other was to change his muscles and marrow, and supervise him to practice the art of Tai Chi. In the past three months, Xiao Yuanshi's progress has been very obvious, and he has been able to accurately recognize and write more than 300 words fluently on the Chinese characters on the common enlightenment literacy encyclopedia in Yenching University. Under the guidance of Yuan Qi, the meridians in his body were warmed and combed, plus he was originally a pure yang body, and there were not many impurities in his body, so he laid a solid foundation early and paved the way for future martial arts.
After three months, Yuan Qi was no longer as idle as before, because after three months of screening, the Wyvern Heavy Cavalry became the last elite force to complete the expansion. The focus of Yuanqi's work. It immediately shifted to the training of the Wyvern Heavy Riders. Because it was the latest to complete the expansion of the army, compared with the other three elite troops, the overall combat effectiveness of the Wyvern Heavy Cavalry has been lagging behind. If you want to catch up and keep pace with the other three elites, you must pay far more blood and sweat than ordinary people, whether it is Yuan Qi or Qi Tian. Whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, it must go through this arduous process in order for the Flying Dragon Army to live up to the prestige of the world's first heavy cavalry. The entire Wyvern Army, from top to bottom, had to undergo high-intensity training every day until the last person was so tired that he crawled to the ground.
Thanks to the efforts of the Wyvern Heavy Riders, the results they have reaped are also amazing. It only took three months, they were in the arduous training, the perfect re-formation of a whole, combat effectiveness straight after a hundred battles! Yuan Qi also took advantage of these three months to bring himself back to the furnace, and spent most of the time training with the Flying Dragon Heavy Riders every day, to be honest, he has not carried out such systematic high-intensity training for a long time, during this time, Guan Wei, Zhang Wu, Five Tiger Generals, and Eight Good Generals have all become the objects of his martial arts honing. After the battle between the people who had different comprehensions of martial arts, Yuan Qi's martial arts went to the next level, breaking through the bottleneck twice in succession, making the finger Xuan chapter break through to the unprecedented twenty-fourth level, and at the same time, his own strength, after this period of hard work, has also improved significantly.
Now even if the overlord Xiang Yu comes back from the dead, Yuan Qi has full confidence and competes with him for the title of overlord. However, although he was exhausted from practicing every day, Yuan Qi never interrupted the cultivation of Yuan Shi, and he sincerely hoped that his son could be stronger than himself and better continue the inheritance of the Han people, and at the same time, he also looked forward to the day when he could complete the agreement between their father and son, and appear on the battlefield together to scold Fang Xuan!
In the half year of Yuan Qi's strong army, Ugong Zhaolie, who was in the Central Plains, was not idle, he used this time, while doing the same thing as Yuan Qi, recruiting troops and horses to expand his strength, and at the same time sending Sima Yi to wave troops to Jizhou three times, trying to recapture Wei County, and even take Jizhou. It's a pity that Yuan Qi had already calculated that Ugong Zhaolie would take this move, so he transferred Zhuge Liang from Yizhou back to Jizhou and let him take charge of the overall situation of Jizhou again. With the help of Zhang Zong, Xu Bao, and some civil and military officials transferred from Yizhou and Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang tried his best to protect Jizhou from losing an inch of land, and defeated Sima Yi three times in succession, allowing him to return three times in vain.
Half a year later, the expansion of the army has been basically completed. The newly conscripted soldiers, as planned by the monarch and his ministers, numbered 500,000 men, making the total strength of the regular army a formidable 2.4 million! This does not include the 200,000 troops of the four elite units and the members of the hidden dragons scattered all over the place. Of course, Xu Shu's Yizhou, Pang Tong's Jingzhou and Sun Quan's Jiangdong, the old soldiers in these three regions are an important reason for the surge in the number of regular troops.
After the expansion of the army was completed, Yuan Qi convened a military meeting of civil and military officials, at which the monarchs and ministers, according to the huge number of soldiers of the existing regular army, finally made a decision to divide the 2.4 million regular army into five major army corps according to the region, and defend them in all directions.
The five major army corps were: the Northern Army Corps, which was mainly based on Youzhou and supplemented by Guang, Ming, and Tongzhou, with Yuan Qi personally serving as the first commander, followed by Qi Tian and Zhao Hu; the Guanzhong Army Corps, which was mainly based in the Guanzhong region and supplemented by the Sanfu region and Liangzhou, was headed by Ma Yue, followed by Pang De, Ma Dai, and Zhu Hao; the Southwest Army Corps, which was mainly based on Yizhou and supplemented by the Nanzhong region, with Xu Shu as the commander and Meng Hou as the second; and the Southern Army Corps, which was mainly based in Jingzhou and supplemented by Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, was headed by Pang Tong, and Zhou Yu and Because Jizhou's geographical location was in the center of the war with Yugong Zhaolie, and it was densely populated and economically rich, Jizhou alone formed a legion called the Hebei Legion, Zhuge Liang deservedly became the first commander, followed by Zhang Zong and Xu Block.
Each of these five legions, in addition to their respective local garrisons, commanded a regular army of 450,000 men, and only the Northern Army Corps, because it was the political, military, and economic center, was equipped with 600,000 regular troops. In order to deal with emergencies, we can support the Quartet in the shortest possible time.
Of course, the formation of the five legions is bound to disperse the centralized power, and now the people who control the five legions are all Yuanqi's henchmen, and naturally there will be no self-respecting situation, but they can't not grow old for a lifetime, including Yuanqi, they will eventually come to the end of their lives, Yuanqi doesn't want the five major legions to form a trend of tail failure, and let his son Yuan Shi deal with the hidden dangers left by himself, so Yuanqi also made control measures over the five major legions while forming the five legions, and the five major legions should be a grain and grassThe five major armies did not have the right to expand the army and levy taxes privately, and they had to be approved by the military government and the government government before they could obtain sufficient military expenses and salaries. At the same time, Yuan Qi also made a provision that the five major legions were only applicable in wartime, and when the war was over, he would reduce the number of troops of the five major legions and return the military power to the state.
The establishment of the Five Great Legions officially announced to all the people in the world that the great encirclement of the Central Plains has been completed, and once the internal preparations are made, the military force with Yuan Qi as the supreme ruler is bound to deal a thunderous blow to the Unomiya Terulie Department in the Central Plains!
