Chapter 1214 Population Explosion

After the establishment of the Habayashi Army, this round of army reorganization came to an end.

In this round of reorganization, except for Wu Qi and Xu Da who were conferred the rank of great general, the rest of the generals were also conferred one by one. The standard is that the first-level commander is awarded the second-rank general, and the army commander is awarded the third-rank or fourth-rank general.

Meng Tian, ​​the leader of the Greedy Wolf Army, was awarded the title of Second Rank General of the Fujun Army.

Guo Ziyi, the leader of the Fengxiang Army, was named a second-rank general.

Chang Yuchun, the commander of the North African Army, was awarded the second-rank general to conquer the south; Yang Su, the leader of the Heluo army, was awarded the title of the second-rank general of Zhendong; Zuo Zongtang, the leader of the Hedong army, was awarded the title of second-rank general of Zhenxi.

So far, in the sequence of second-rank generals, the four generals of Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenxi, and Zhenbei, and the four generals of Zhengdong, Zhengnan, Zhengxi, and North are all in place.

Among the Generals of Fujun, Generals of Zhongjun, Generals of Shangjun, Generals of Zhenjun, Generals of Zhenguo and Generals of Nanzhong, there is only one vacancy for the position of General of Zhenjun.

General Hussars, Generals of Chariots, and Generals of Wei. Among the three generals, only Xu Chu was appointed as General of Wei. The two positions of Generals of Hussars and Generals of Chess are temporarily vacant.

The above are all seventeen second-rank generals, and there are only three left in total.

Counting the three generals Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Li Jing, and the six generals Huo Qubing, Xu Da, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Li Mu, and Zheng He, the upper-level structure of the Great Xia Army has basically stabilized.

Of the top ten famous generals in China, except for Wei Qing who died for his country and Wang Jian who was in Daqin, the remaining seven belonged to Daxia.

After the reorganization, the remaining 710,000 soldiers were all included in the abolition list after the armies made up for the battle losses, and were handed over to the Privy Council and the Civil Affairs Department for joint placement.

This is the largest disarmament in Great Xia so far. Fortunately, the two major organizations have long been familiar with how to arrange the dismantled troops, they are busy but not chaotic, and they are orderly.

At the same time, this is also the largest troop increase in the dynasty, expanding five group armies at one time, with a total of 1.75 million troops.

So far, the Great Xia's army alone has reached an astonishing 6.8 million people. This is still under the condition that Ouyang Shuo continues to reduce the number of troops and repeatedly reduce and control the number of troops.

Otherwise, the Great Xia Army would probably be close to tens of millions of people.

Gaia's six years were a year of explosive population growth in Daxia. At the beginning of the year, the total population of the dynasty was around 150 million, which was a short distance from 200 million.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of players settled in Daxia, and the population soon approached the 200 million mark.

In April, when the Silver Hand made a strong attack, Daxia went against the wind and attacked across the board, capturing Johor, Pyu, the three islands of Java, and Ethiopia in one fell swoop, increasing the population by nearly 30 million in one fell swoop.

After that, the Han and Qing countries were conquered, and the three kingdoms of Jin, Sui, and Shu were subordinated. Counting the people in Jiangnan and southern Anhui provinces, in just three months, the population of Daxia increased by nearly 80 million.

You know, each royal city has 10 million people. Zhan Lang took Jianye without any difficulty before, but he took advantage of it. If it wasn't for Ouyang Shuo's other plans, the Red Blood Army would not have easily succeeded.

As the third lord dynasty in Huaxia District, the Jin Dynasty had a total population of 30 million.

From this, it is not difficult to understand why Ouyang Shuo decisively ordered to stop the war and clean up the internal affairs even though Great Xia only added the four provinces of Hedong, Central Plains, Southern Anhui and Jiangnan after the war ended.

Because the population increase this time is too much, enough for Daxia to digest for a while.

The large number of people gathered in the four royal cities of Luoyang, Jingdu, Quanzhou, and Chengdu should also be properly guided to live in other counties and counties, and should not gather too much.

Taking into account the continuous influx of adventure players into Daxia in the past six months, as well as the refugees who have continued to spawn from various counties and counties, according to the latest statistics from the Civil Affairs Bureau, as of now, the total population of Daxia has reached 370 million. Compared with the beginning of the year, not only doubled, but also a slight surplus.

Before the end of the year, the population of Great Xia can easily exceed the 400 million mark.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the total population of China reached 430 million, setting a new record in history.

If measured by this standard, the total population of Great Xia will soon break the historical record and reach a new height. Even so, the 6.8 million army is still a bit overwhelming for the dynasty.

The largest army in history was the Ming Dynasty. At its peak, it claimed to have a standing army of 2.8 million. At that time, the population of the Ming Dynasty was around 200 million. The number of the Ming army is known to be huge.

Even with an army of 2.8 million, the military-to-civilian ratio of Great Xia surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty, which is terrifying.

Only in terms of the size of the army, Daxia can be described as unprecedented.

Even in the modern period of China, the peak size of the army was only about 6.5 million, which was still lower than the current size of the Great Xia Army. From such a comparison, we can see what kind of burden Daxia's finances are facing.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo couldn't disarm.

Because right now is the most critical period for the Great Xia Dynasty. Internally, the four-nation alliance must be destroyed to complete the great cause of unification; externally, it must deal with the enemies of the four parties and seize the opportunity in the African continent.

In addition to guarding the monster lair, no matter which item, it needs a huge army to support it.

Disarmament now is suicidal.

Only after the four-nation alliance is completely wiped out and a relatively stable center is established, can the dynasty consider a round of dismantling and reorganization of the troops deployed in the hinterland of the Huaxia District in order to achieve the goal of reducing its troops.

According to Ouyang Shuo's prediction, no matter how the Great Xia expands in the future and how the population grows rapidly, the nearly seven million army is basically close to a critical value, and it is unlikely that it will really approach the ten million mark.

The future expansion of the dynasty will depend on the army stationed in the Huaxia District.

Therefore, back to the starting point, only by defeating the Four Nations Alliance as soon as possible can Daxia completely let go of its hands and feet, go into battle lightly, and actively expand to the outside world.

Otherwise, without using the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge at all, Daxia might be dragged down by huge military expenditures, and then fall into the quagmire of war and ruin his own way.

Therefore, the attachment of the Three Kingdoms was the most glorious period of Daxia, and it was also the most difficult period.

…………

On October 6th of the sixth year of Gaia, Shanhai City.

Wangcheng, Temple of Heaven Square, and nine Kyushu tripods are lined up. The height of each big tripod is three feet six inches and five cents, according to the three hundred and sixty-five degrees of the sky; the circumference is two feet and four inches, according to the twenty-four qi of the political calendar.

On the top of the tripod, there are carved mountains, rivers, trees, vegetation, insects and fish, all of which are lifelike.

Two days ago, the Kyushu Ding of the Shu Han Dynasty had been sent to Shanhai City. At that time, Ouyang Shuo was busy discussing with the ministers about the reorganization of the army, so he didn't care about it.

After the army reorganization plan was finalized one by one, Ouyang Shuo rushed over.

The successful collection of the nine tripods this time means the completion of the S-level task [Da Yu Jiuding]. Ouyang Shuo wanted to know how the nine tripods would change.
