Chapter 358 Glory Is My Life

Ouyang Shuo came to the main hall, and the military discussion officially started.

The theme of this military discussion is actually very clear, which is to discuss the arrangements for the three divisions that have been reorganized.

Determining the candidates for the three division heads is only one aspect of it.

More importantly, the territory has increased the establishment of three divisions at once, and together with the existing four divisions, it is already possible to form a military unit that is a higher level than the divisions - the legion.

According to the establishment, four divisions form a legion. Unlike the division, the legion does not have a direct unit, but only the regiment leader himself, equipped with a personal guard battalion.

If the division is the mainstay of the army, then the legion is a real army. It is the highest-level military unit in the army except the group army.

And according to the usual practice, the group army is formed temporarily from several legions during wartime.

Therefore, the legion is actually the highest-level military unit in the army.

Often a legion is enough to lead a local war.

Naturally, caution must be exercised when forming such an important military unit.

It can even be said that the formation of the legion can be regarded as a milestone event in the territorial army.

How to form an army, Ouyang Shuo already has a draft.

At the beginning of the military discussion, Ouyang Shuo made a fool of himself and did not immediately announce the formation of the army.

In the army sequence, there is such a special unit, which is always at the highest level of the army, and its status is unshakable, that is, the Guards directly under the lord.

Guards, the artifact of protecting the country.

In the previous life, a lord described this army in this way: the guards are the sharp sword in the lord's hands, spreading the lord's prestige, defending the lord's glory, and being the most dazzling star on the crown.

"Glory is my life" is the most vivid portrayal of the Guards.

The current Imperial Guard Brigade is one of the Imperial Guards.

Excluding the city defense force, the field army alone in the territory is close to the 100,000 mark. With such a huge army, the Guards Army has only a pitiful Guards Brigade, which obviously does not match its strategic positioning.

Therefore, the first thing Ouyang Shuo had to do was to reshape the guard system.

The first to move the knife was the Imperial Guard Brigade.

Ouyang Shuo ordered that the Imperial Guard Brigade be renamed the Habayashi Guards, following the establishment of 3,000 Habayashi Guards. The chief general of Habayashi Guards, specially conferred the post of Habayashi General, the head of the same division.

Wang Feng was the first General Habayashi.

The appointment of Wang Feng did not cause any disturbance in the army.

From the formation of the personal guard team, to the upgrade to the personal guard battalion, and then to the establishment of the personal guard brigade, Wang Feng has always played the role of Ouyang Shuo's "guardian captain" from the beginning to the end.

The post of General Yubayashi is better than Wangfeng.

The Habayashi Guard, to put it bluntly, is Ouyang Shuo's personal guard.

Usually, Habayashi Wei is responsible for guarding the Houfu.

During the war, Habayashi Guard was Ouyang Shuo's pro-army. Wherever Ouyang Shuo goes, Habayashi will follow him.

The establishment of Habayashi Guard is not as simple as just changing a name.

Ouyang Shuo made a clear request that all members of the Yulin Guard must pass the special operations training, and only those who pass the examination with excellent grades can be selected.

Habayashi Wei is the special forces in the army.

Members of the current Imperial Guard Brigade, who are eliminated in the first round of assessment, are not allowed to be selected for the Habayashi Guard. In addition to special operations training, Ouyang Shuo also put forward two rigid requirements for the selection of members of the Habayashi Guard.

First, the minimum standard for the Habayashi Guard rank is the elite soldier of the tenth rank.

Second, Habayashi Wei's qualifications must not be lower than the second class, otherwise he will not be accepted.

Such a high threshold has created Habayashi's reputation.

Ouyang Shuo also imposed strict restrictions on the number of Habayashi guards.

For a long time to come, Habayashi Guard will maintain a staff of 3,000 people. If you want to join Habayashi Guard, the only way is for Habayashi Guard to have casualties and fill the gap.

Ouyang Shuo's goal is to make Habayashi Guard not only equal to a division in terms of status, but also equal to or even better than a division in terms of combat power.

This requires every member of the Habayashi Guard to be able to count as one against three, or even one against four.

A few days ago, the second batch of immigrants has arrived in Yazhou.

Members of the Imperial Guard Brigade will return to Shanhai City to receive reorganization along with the Beihai Fleet.

Their first task is to complete the rest of the special operations training at the training base.

Where are the eliminated members of the Guards Brigade sent down?

This involves, Ouyang Shuo's structure, the second-level Guards.

Ouyang Shuo gave an order to form the Imperial Guard Corps.

The Imperial Guard Corps is under the direct command of Ouyang Shuo, and is usually responsible for defending the Royal City, which is also Shanhai City, the last and strongest line of defense.

In wartime, the Imperial Guards are the absolute main force on the battle map.

In the future, the replacement of Habayashi Guard members will all be selected from the Imperial Guard Division. The members of the Imperial Guard Division, like the previous Imperial Guard Brigade, were selected from the major field divisions.

The selection criteria are exactly the same as the previous Guards Brigade.

If the Habayashi Guard is Ouyang Shuo's personal guard, then the Imperial Guard Division is Ouyang Shuo's personal guard.

Adding the two together constitutes Ouyang Shuo's indestructible guard army.

In fact, in Ouyang Shuo's Guards system, there are two levels, one up and the other down.

It's just that the current conditions of the territory do not yet have the conditions to build these two levels of guards, nor is it necessary for the time being. Only when the time is ripe can the plan be implemented.

Ouyang Shuo unexpectedly chose Lin Yi as the candidate for the head of the Imperial Guard Division.

Undoubtedly, among the various divisions, the Imperial Guard Division is the most dazzling.

Some people are a bit puzzled that Junhou has appointed a young general who is not yet a high-ranking general to take such a high-profile position.

No, the moment Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, the hall was already full of discussions.

All the generals have no objection to the monarch's efforts to build the Guards. What they don't understand is only the candidate for the head of the Imperial Guard Division.

For this position, it's not that no one is interested.

Even super generals like Shi Wansui and Elai were a little moved, especially Elai.

But in the eyes of such thoughtful people as Bai Qi and Du Ruhui, it seemed perfectly normal.

Since it is the guards of the princes, then whether it is General Habayashi or the head of the Imperial Guard Division, they are only responsible for the daily management of the army.

In wartime, the guards were directly commanded by the princes.

Therefore, the two positions seem to be prominent, but both lack the opportunity to stand alone. It is not surprising that a young military general is appointed as the head of the division.

This can not only strengthen the prince's control over the guards, but also take the opportunity to train young generals.

So kill two birds with one stone, why not do it? !

In fact, Ouyang Shuo's favorite candidate was Luo Shixin, the head of the Second Division.

Luo Shixin is not only brave in battle, but also has a high character, so he is the most suitable candidate.

It is a pity that the Second Division has passed the legion trial and has been completely branded with Luo Shixin. Therefore, Luo Shixin could not leave the Second Division easily, otherwise his success would be in vain.

After weighing the matter, Ouyang Shuo decided to settle for the next best thing and chose Lin Yi.

Upon receiving the appointment, Lin Yi was both excited and apprehensive.

The speculative gazes of the generals around him made Lin Yi feel a little uneasy.

Even so, Lin Yi still wants to thank Junhou for his trust. As for the doubts of colleagues, refuting with words is the weakest way, and the only way is to prove yourself on the battlefield.

In the military, fists have always been used to speak.

***********

After the formation of the Imperial Guard Division, in fact, there are only two divisions left.

Ouyang Shuo also made arrangements for these two divisions.

Ouyang Shuo announced that the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions would form the Dragon Rise Army.

The dragon is the supreme one.

The Longxiang Legion represents the First Legion of Shanhai City.

The future legion will be formed in the order of Huben, Baotao, Feixiong, Yingyang, and Fengxiang.

The Shanhai City army will also officially break away from the first and second digital formations. Each legion has a unique name.

After passing the Legion Trial, each Legion will also have a unique banner.

General Bai Qi, unpopular, formally assumed the post of head of the Dragon Army Corps. As for the candidates for division heads of the four master regiments, all remain unchanged.

So far, Bai Qi has truly mastered the most powerful military force in the Shanhai City Army.

The name of the general is truly worthy of the name.

The headquarters of the Longxiang Legion is located in the Mulan Fortress, which is still under construction.

It goes without saying that the Longchamp Army has two responsibilities. Internally, he is in charge of defending the base camp - Lianzhou County; externally, he is in charge of the Northern Expedition, and the main task at hand is to deal with the challenges of the two major forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Chiyou City.

As Lianzhou County gradually calmed down, the main energy of the Longchamp Army in the future will still be on the Northern Expedition.

This is also the main reason why Ouyang Shuo set up the headquarters of the Dragon Army in Mulan Fortress.

The Mulan Fortress is the forward position and base camp of the Northern Expedition.

After Bai Qi became the head of the legion, the Military Affairs Administration will make a major adjustment to the defense areas of the four great corps.

Among them, the third division led by Elai and the fourth division led by Mu Guiying will be permanently stationed in Mulan Fortress. The third division is a pure infantry division, which is the best choice for stationing fortresses.

The first division led by Shi Wansui will take over the eastern defense zone of the third division.

The first division is a light infantry and cavalry mixed division, with strong mobility and enough to deal with the two major defense zones in front of us. The focus of its prevention is mainly on the Shiwan Dashan in the east.

According to the arrangement, the cavalry brigade of the First Division will be responsible for patrolling the western defense zone. The remaining four brigades will all be deployed along the Shiwanda Mountains in the east.

As for the Second Division, it is still stationed in the grassland for the time being. After the situation on the grassland has stabilized completely, the Second Division will reinforce Mulan Fortress at any time according to the situation and needs of the northern battlefield.

As for the defense of Shanhai City itself, there are city guards outside and imperial guards inside. Not to mention foolproof, at least it can be called impenetrable.

Coupled with the construction of the outer city wall of Shanhai City, it will be completed in a month or two.

The base camp is already worry-free!
