Chapter 805: Commanding Conference
In order to establish a country, in addition to establishing a country name, it is also necessary to establish a system.
The structure of the Nanjiang Protectorate's Mansion was expanded and adjusted step by step according to the development needs of the territory through the three levels of town, county, and county since the village era, and has undergone several changes.
Up to now, the whole structure has been perfected day by day.
After the founding of the country, the structure of the dynasty should not be changed from time to time, otherwise the state system will be shaken. Therefore, it is necessary to sort out the system for the last time before the establishment of the country, and set the foundation of the national system.
The cabinet and military deliberations that Ouyang Shuo had imagined before had to be finalized before then. In particular, the cabinet, as the core political and deliberative body of the dynasty, must have great power to sit in charge.
According to the system, the old man does not hold real power.
This also means that powerful officials such as Xiao He, Wei Yang, and Fan Li have no right to join the cabinet. If they want to join the cabinet, they must resign from their current positions.
Choosing the elder of the pavilion will be the top priority of Ouyang Shuo, the lord.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to invite Jiang Shang to join the cabinet. When he was playing chess with the grandpa a few days ago, he also mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that the grandpa meant it, he didn't refuse directly.
If he really wanted to move, Ouyang Shuo had to work harder.
In addition to the two major events of the country's name and the system, it is also necessary to renovate the Protectorate's Mansion and upgrade it to a royal palace. Correspondingly, maids of honor and female officials should be selected to enter the palace to maintain the daily operation of the palace.
The fortifications of the entire palace also need to be completely upgraded. With the release of the expansion pack [Wulin Fengyun], the martial arts hidden in the wilderness will gradually surface.
Martial arts masters emerged one after another, and naturally put forward higher requirements for the "security" of the palace. For martial arts practitioners, the palace will be an absolute forbidden place, and they will never be allowed to come and go in the palace.
As for the preparations for the enthronement ceremony, there was no need for Ouyang Shuo to worry about it, it was handled by his own staff.
There are also ministers above the court who propose that the emperor should recruit more concubines to enrich the harem.
After hearing this, Ouyang Shuo flatly refused, leaving no room for turning back. He is very sober, this is not time travel after all, but Gaia's experience of the lord player in the game.
The protagonist of the game is still a group of players living in modern society, a group of modern people.
No matter how much Ouyang Shuo follows the ancient rules, he can't use this as an excuse to really have three wives and four concubines. It's a kind of disrespect for love, Song Jia, and even women.
Some of the bad habits of ancient dynasties must be resolutely abandoned, and there is no room for negotiation.
"From now on, no matter what time and occasion such proposals are made, we are not allowed to mention them again. Otherwise, we can only assume that he has ulterior motives." Ouyang Shuo said.
The officials listened with awe in their hearts.
In the future, the discussion of accepting concubines will become a taboo topic, and no one dares to mention it.
After a small episode, the Great Court officially came to an end.
From then on, the territory will enter the time of "state establishment", and all affairs will revolve around "state establishment".
…………
On February 4th, the Southern Border Protectorate, Wuying Hall.
Early in the morning, Ouyang Shuo summoned the gods and generals to hold a military meeting that had been scheduled years ago. Participants included Du Ruhui, Director of Military Affairs, Zheng He, Commander of the Nanyang Navy, Huo Qubing, Commander of the Imperial Guards, Bai Qi, Commander of the Longxiang Army, Sun Bin, Commander of the Huben Army, and Han Xin, Commander of the Baotao Army.
Because the participants are mainly military commanders, it is called "commander meeting".
The leadership meeting started at eight o'clock in the morning and lasted until six thirty in the evening before it came to an end. The period was only a half-hour pause for lunch.
At the end of the discussion, all the gods will be in high spirits.
The next day, the General Administration of Military Affairs compiled a detailed army reorganization plan overnight based on the minutes of the meeting, and reported it to Ouyang Shuo's case. After Ouyang Shuo passed the review, the largest military reorganization in the entire army will start.
The first to adjust is the Nanyang Navy.
The Jiaozhou Fleet commanded by Shi Lang was officially renamed the Yizhou Fleet, and moved from Jiaozhou Port in Zhenhai City to Xinglong Port in the south of Fangyizhou County.
The Xinglong Port in reality is also a large global port, enough to accommodate the Yizhou Fleet.
As the largest island in China, Yizhou Island has more than 70% of its territory covered by mountains and hills, and the plains are mainly concentrated in the narrow strip along the western coast.
It was such a unique geographical environment that allowed the Shanhai City army to successfully capture Yizhou Island. During the war, both fleets cruised along the coast and cooperated with ground forces to attack cities.
But those who resist will be attacked by battleship artillery.
...
Like the Li people on Qiongzhou Island, the Gaoshan people on Yizhou Island also spread all over the island.
After Bawang City captured Yizhou Island, three cities were built on the west coast of the island, in the north, south, and middle sections. The names of the cities are also simple, namely Yibei City, Yizhongcheng and Yinan City.
Then take the three cities as the core to form the land of three prefectures to manage the entire territory of Yizhou Island. Xinglong Port is located in Yinan City, and it is also the county seat of Yizhou that Ouyang Shuo delineated.
The Yizhou Fleet will use Yizhou County as the base, cover the Dongsha Islands, and take over the Yizhou Strait. To the north, you can advance into the East China Sea; to the south, you can deter the Luzon Kingdom; to the east, you can enter the Luzon Sea, and then advance to the Pacific Ocean.
...
The fleet that was also renamed was the Beihai Gulf Fleet commanded by Zhou Yu.
The Battle of Black Iron City fully exposed a fatal weakness of the territorial navy, that is, overemphasizing maritime operations and ignoring the inland water system to cooperate with the army in operations.
There are well-developed water systems in the three major provinces of the territory, which are enough to support the fleet to shuttle back and forth.
For this reason, the leadership meeting decided to change the name of the Beihai Gulf Fleet to the Southern Xinjiang Fleet, and move its base from Beihai Port in Beihai City to Jiaozhou Port in Zhenhai City.
The maritime defense zone in the North Gulf will be handed over to the Yashan Fleet.
More importantly, the Southern Xinjiang Fleet will be committed to inland operations, with the five major fleets as the core, extending its tentacles into the three major provinces to ensure that it can cooperate with the army at any time.
Zhenhai City is just a mobile station for the Southern Border Fleet. In the future, when the time is right, the entire fleet will be broken into pieces, and will penetrate into the deep inland step by step, completely saying goodbye to ocean warfare.
In this way, Zhou Yu's commanding ability can be better utilized.
Ouyang Shuo imagined that the headquarters of the Southern Xinjiang Fleet would be located in Poyang Lake in Jiangchuan Province.
Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. After the game map is expanded ten times, it is even more vast, enough to support a southern Xinjiang fleet.
It's just that Jiangchuan Province does not belong to Shanhai City for the time being, and this matter can only be discussed in the long term.
...
With the renaming of the two major fleets, the scope of activities of the Nanyang Navy is no longer limited to Nanyang. In view of this, the name Nanyang Navy is somewhat inappropriate and cannot keep up with the development of the situation.
After discussing with Zheng He, Ouyang Shuo decided to simply revoke the designation of "Nanyang Navy" and change the name of the established Nanyang Navy Command to "Navy Command".
The fleets of the five major naval divisions were unified under the command of the Navy Command.
In addition to changing the name of the fleet, adjusting the defense zone of the fleet, and forming a naval command. The leadership meeting also reshaped the personnel structure of the entire navy.
The purpose is to warm up in advance for the future industrialization of the navy.
One, the formation of the Marine Corps.
Based on the frogman brigade, form a powerful marine corps to cooperate with the fleet in landing operations.
In the battle of Yizhou Island that had just ended, it was precisely because the Yashan Fleet and the Jiaozhou Fleet lacked the strength for landing operations that they had to seek the cooperation of the Third Army of the Huben Army to take Yizhou Island.
In the future, the navy will be engaged in expeditionary operations, and in many cases it will not be able to get the cooperation of the army. Therefore, within the naval system, it is very necessary to form an amphibious marine corps.
As far as the territory is concerned, the Marine Corps is a new thing and is still in the groping stage. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to set his sights too high, and the formation of the Marine Corps was tentatively set as a division.
Members of the Marine Corps will be jointly selected from the sailors of the five major fleets and the prisoners of the Battle of Yunnan.
In order to train the Marine Corps into shape, Ouyang Shuo specially instructed Viper, who is in charge of the special operations training base, to build a special Marine Corps training base in Beihai Port.
Its purpose is naturally to train the team members' amphibious combat skills.
After the training of the Marine Corps directly under the Navy Command takes shape and has passed the actual combat test, the five major fleets will use this as a basis to form their own Marine Corps.
The whole process is expected to take six months to a year.
Second, adjust the arms composition of the five major fleets.
In addition to artillerymen and a small number of musketeers, in order to cooperate with long-range combat, the sailors of the five fleets are mainly bowmen, accounting for more than 70%.
There is nothing wrong with fighting on water with ancient cold weapons. But the future naval battle will be a duel between artillery and muskets. No matter how good the archers are, they will still be a living target.
Therefore, the commanding meeting decided that Gaia's five fleets will gradually reduce the number of crossbowmen in four years, and reduce the proportion of crossbowmen to less than 40% within one year.
Part of the vacated number of soldiers is used to form the Marine Corps directly under the fleet to enhance the strength of the fleet's landing operations. The rest of the soldiers are mainly leaning towards artillerymen and musketeers.
Especially the musketeers will be the main arm of the navy in the future.
Crossbowmen and musketeers have similarities. It is not very difficult to switch arms.
Of course, reducing the proportion of crossbowmen does not mean giving up sharp weapons such as crossbows, especially the king of long-range cold weapons such as the god arm crossbow.
Not only can't give up, but also strengthen it. In the future, the god arm crossbow will become the standard configuration of water pawns.
Also standard, there is a new generation of standard Tang Dao, code-named T1, which is being developed by the Equipment R&D Center.
This Tang knife was specially developed for the sailors. It combined the advantages of Tang swords and Western swords. It was light and sharp, and it was most suitable for sailors in close combat. It was their last talisman.
Third, adjust the bases of the five major fleets.
In addition to their respective main bases, the five major fleets will also build three to four sub-bases in the main coastal cities of their respective defense zones in Gaia for four years, so as to strengthen their control over the sea area.
The concentration of more than 100,000 troops in a fleet is not only a burden on the port, but also not conducive to emergency operations, and it is inherently slow in troop mobilization.
