Chapter 1212 African Theater

Daxia took the initiative to stop fighting, but no one could be happy.

Everyone knows that when Great Xia digests the newly joined army of two million, it will be time to make a strong attack and launch the China Unification War.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

As time entered October, Ouyang Shuo entered an unprecedentedly busy state.

Conquering Nuo Da's territory, receiving more than two million troops, and gaining the allegiance of dozens of civil servants and generals, how to arrange this big game has become the top priority in Ouyang Shuo's mind.

For several days in a row, Ouyang Shuo either called the cabinet ministers to discuss matters, or went to the Military Aircraft Department or the Privy Council for a meeting, or discussed with the ministers alone.

It wasn't until October 5th that things began to take shape.

Ouyang Shuo's first arrangement was the civil servant group, because although Daxia accepted the three dynasties this time, the real increase was the land of the three provinces, and the arrangement was relatively simple.

Xiongba was relieved of his position as a scholar of the Zizhengge, and officially appointed as the governor of southern Fujian.

Southern Fujian Province is adjacent to Jiangnan Province, Ouyang Shuo put Xiongba in Southern Fujian, naturally he wanted to observe whether Xiongba would secretly affect Jiangnan Province after he settled down.

This is Ouyang Shuo's first test for Xiongba.

Xun Yu, the former governor of southern Fujian, was transferred to the Zizheng Pavilion and became a senior scholar of the Zizheng Pavilion. Joining the Zizheng Pavilion together is the former minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, the counselor Fazheng.

It's just that Fazheng was appointed as a Bachelor of the Ministerial Cabinet.

The lineup of the Zizheng Pavilion is already luxurious, but now it is too strong. In addition to Zhang Liang, the Grand Master of Palm Printing, there are also Grand Scholars Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Xun Yu, and Bachelors Chen Gong, Ju Shou, and Fazheng.

Except for Zhang Liang, they were all top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period.

Ouyang Shuo was already thinking about how to make full use of the role of the Ministerial Cabinet so that talents would not be left idle.

The post of governor of Jiangnan was held by Gao Ying, a former minister of the Sui Dynasty. Another former minister of the Sui Dynasty, Su Wei, served as the governor of Hedong Province where the Great Jin was located.

The double walls of the Sui Dynasty, Qi Qi was reused.

The father Yan was removed from the position of governor of the Central Plains and transferred to the governor of southern Anhui, and the governor of the Central Plains was replaced by Feng Qiuhuang.

The situation in the Central Plains Province has basically stabilized. In addition, as the imperial court took over the Southern Anhui Province, the Central Plains Province has re-established contact with the imperial court.

It would be inappropriate for Zhu Fuyan, as an old minister of the Han Dynasty, to stay in the Central Plains.

And arranging Feng Prison Huang to take over as the Governor of the Central Plains shows how high hopes Ouyang Shuo placed on Feng Prison Huang. The provinces of the Central Plains are the center of the Central Plains region. To govern the Central Plains well, Feng Prison Huang is a great achievement.

Except for the appointment and dismissal at the governor-general level, the cabinet is responsible for the appointment of other officials. The general principle is to allow officials from the Han, Jin, Sui, and Shu countries, including officials from Jiangnan provinces, to serve in cross positions and in different places.

This is a tedious job that may last for several months.

After finalizing the candidate for governor, Ouyang Shuo temporarily put aside the matter of civil servants and concentrated on preparing for the largest round of army reorganization in the history of Great Xia.

The wide range involved is dizzying.

It will take a lot of work just to sort out the composition of the 2.29 million troops.

In the Battle of Luoyang, 120,000 Han troops were captured, because Wei Qing was martyred for the country and had no general talent.

In the battle of destroying the Qing Dynasty, 320,000 Qing troops were captured, and there were also no generals.

In the Jiangnan border battle, 350,000 Ming soldiers were captured, and the general Xu Da, the imperial general Chang Yuchun, and two king-level generals Deng Yu and Feng Sheng were captured.

After Daming was defeated by Zhanlang, Xu Da and other generals finally stopped resisting and surrendered to Daxia.

The Jiangnan Province was attached, and the Overlord's Army was 300,000, and the god general Wu Qi was won.

The Great Jin Dynasty was subordinated, and the remaining troops of the Imperial Guard Army and the Lieyan Army totaled 340,000. Five generals Guo Ziyi, Meng Tian, ​​Ran Min, Wang He, and Zhou Bo were awarded.

The Great Sui Dynasty was subordinated, received 500,000 Great Sui Forbidden Army, and got five generals including Yang Su, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Yu Juluo and Yu Wenshu.

The Shu Han Dynasty was subordinated, received 360,000 Shu Han forbidden troops, and won the three generals Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei.

Naturally, it is impossible to keep all of such a large army, and some of them must be abolished. Otherwise, even with the budget of Great Xia, it is impossible to maintain such a huge military expenditure.

Furthermore, out of the 2.29 million troops, the Forbidden Army in Wangcheng alone accounted for 1.65 million, accounting for 72%, covering the five kingdoms of Han, Qing, Ming, Sui and Shu, and large-scale abolition was bound to be carried out.

With the current situation of Great Xia, reorganizing the army is no longer a simple military issue, let alone a numbers game, but a grand strategy related to the future of the dynasty.

It is necessary to determine in which direction the dynasty is expanding and which enemies it faces before it can formulate an army reorganization plan.

All in all, it is demand-oriented.

When it comes to the enemies of Great Xia, there can only be one word to describe them, and that is "enemies all over the world". In Asia alone, there are the Mongol Empire and the Romanov Dynasty in the north, the Persian Empire in the west, the Arab Empire in the west, the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty in the southwest, and Java in Southeast Asia waiting to be pacified.

Looking at the world, it is even more lively.

In addition to the Indian Empire, the Maple Leaf Dynasty, the Dawson Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty in the American continent, the Gangdu Dynasty, the Spanish Dynasty, the Gaul Dynasty, the German Dynasty and the Caesar Dynasty in the European continent, and the Egyptian and Bantu dynasties in the African continent. The whole world map.

If these dynasties can be merged into one place, even the three Great Xias will be wiped out.

But Ouyang Shuo is a person who is unwilling to accept the status quo. His head is harder than steel. He is determined to smash the cake of the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, so as to establish a new order in the future Hope Planet.

It is conceivable that the game world in the future will still be lively, even more so than before.

With so many enemies, it is of course impossible to destroy them one by one. What Ouyang Shuo wants to destroy is the two organizations of Silver Hand and Azure Badge, which are the whole, not all the individuals in the organization.

Accepting the Xiongba family is out of such a strategic consideration.

As for the main breakthrough points, Ouyang Shuo temporarily delineated three. One is the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty in the southwest. Considering the existence of the Ashoka Dynasty, this is the most difficult point.

The second is the Persian Empire in the west.

If you can win the Persian Empire, you can deter the Arab Empire in the west, deter the Caesar dynasty in the northwest, and attack the Romanov dynasty in the southwest, which is quite convenient.

The third is the African continent.

In the next one or two years, the African continent will be the focus of the world, and it will also be the frontier for Daxia to wrestle with the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, so it is naturally not to be missed.

Among the three breakthrough points, the African continent needs to be strengthened the most.

Right now, Daxia has only deployed two border guards, the West African Army and the East African Army, in the North African tutelary fortress. Not to mention the future African war, it is impossible to win the territory of East Africa.

There are 13 countries in East Africa, accounting for 12% of the total area of ​​Africa, and the total number of players exceeds 10 million.

If Daxia wants to take East Africa, the army must not be less than a million. For this reason, the first step of this round of army reorganization is aimed at the African territory.

Ouyang Shuo decided to set up the dynasty's fourth theater—the African Theater Command, and set up the African Theater Command to take charge of the overall war in Africa. The primary goal is to win the East African plate within one year.

For this reason, the imperial court decided to add two new group armies in the African theater, namely the Tanlang Army and the North African Army. The Tanlang Army is a regular field army, and the North African Army belongs to the border defense army system.

With the continuous expansion of Daxia's territory, Ouyang Shuo had to break the previous army designation plan, and add another Greedy Wolf after Longxiang, Huben, Baotao, Yingyang and Feixiong.

For this reason, Ouyang Shuo decided to cancel the designation of the guard army in planning, for two reasons.

First, the Guards Army was originally planned to be the first pure firearms group army of the dynasty, but with Gaia's substantial increase in the military value of soldiers, the coexistence of firearms and cold weapons has become a general trend in the army.

In this way, the pure firearms army seems very tasteless.

Second, the establishment of the Imperial Guard was originally planned to strengthen the strength of the legion directly under Ouyang Shuo, so as to avoid an army layout that is weak inside and strong outside.

However, with the continuous expansion of Daxia's territory, the size of the army, especially the border guards, expanded rapidly. No matter how much Ouyang Shuo strengthened the army directly under him, he could not change the situation of being weak inside and strong outside.

The only way is to impose reasonable restrictions and restrictions on the theater.

And with the continuous expansion of the territory, like the Imperial Guards, they are like a fire brigade all day long, teleporting to the southwest battlefield for a while, and teleporting to the southeast battlefield for a while, which is expensive and laborious, and it is not advisable.

Instead of this, it is better to strengthen the construction of the theater, guard every strategic direction, and look forward to the rescue of the Imperial Guard in every major battle in the province. In this way, it can also allow the theater to have a long-term plan.

Based on this, Ouyang Shuo decided to cancel the number of Guards.

Anyway, before this, the only regiment of the Guards had been broken down into various field regiments. To cancel the number of the Guards, only the Privy Council had to go through the procedure once, without any loss.

With the cancellation of the number of the Guards, the three generals Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guoquan, and Oda Nobunaga were vacated, and they were integrated into the scope of this army reorganization and placed in a unified manner.

As the leader of the Greedy Wolf Army, Ouyang Shuo delineated Meng Tian, ​​the former leader of the Great Jin Imperial Guard Army.

In view of the fact that Meng Tian, ​​Shi Dakai, and Di Qing, the three commanders of the North African war zone, were not first-rate generals, the commander of the North African army was designated by Ouyang Shuo as the Ming Dynasty's fierce general Chang Yuchun, just to make up for it.

Zhao Yun and Oda Nobunaga were assigned to the Corrupt Wolf Army, and He Ruobi and Wang Yan were assigned to the North African Army.

In this way, there are Chang Yuchun, Oda Nobunaga, and Shi Dakai in the African theater, three generals who are familiar with firearms warfare. This arrangement is also based on the judgment of the future global war.

The use of firearms by the European and American dynasties is pure and innocent, and the African theater cannot suffer from it at the beginning.

Given that the African theater is far away from the center of the dynasty, many decisions require independent judgment and real-time decision-making by the theater command. Ouyang Shuo also equipped the African theater with a theater commander and a theater military adviser.

The commander of the theater does not concurrently serve as the commander of the group army, and the military division is also a full-time military division.

The first military adviser in the African Theater was appointed by Pang Tong, a top strategist who stepped down from his position as a senior scholar in the Ministerial Cabinet. As for the candidate for the commander of the theater, it was beyond everyone's expectations.
