Chapter 967: Birth of Ying Yangjun
October 30th, Shanhai City.
As the war ended, the battle damage and the number of prisoners of war in each area were accurately counted and reported to the Privy Council. After the Privy Council summarized it, it was reported to Ouyang Shuo.
The final statistics show that after making up for the war damage of various ministries, clearing out the disabled soldiers, and forming the three provincial garrison divisions as usual, there are still 680,000 troops waiting to be reorganized.
680,000 people were reorganized into nine fully formed legions, and there were still 50,000 troops remaining.
After discussing with Du Ruhui, Ouyang Shuo decided that in addition to filling one legion of the Baotao Army and the three vacant legions of the City Guard Army, he would form a full-stacked group army - the Yingyang Army.
Ouyang Shuo neither used the remaining 50,000 troops to form a new legion nor dismissed them on the spot, but transferred them to Luofeng City.
[Yanhuang League] The news of the expansion of the army in various territories has reached Ouyang Shuo's ears. Luofeng City is flanked by Handan City and Shura City. It is impossible not to follow the expansion of the army.
Fortunately, the Feng family is a big family rivaling Dichen and others' families. After Feng Prison Huang took over as the patriarch, he also took over the family's resources and connections along the way. It is not difficult to recruit players on a large scale.
The only thing is that Luofeng City has rarely launched wars recently. If it wants to expand its army, it has to select militiamen from the reserve and train them one by one to form an army. The efficiency is lower than directly reorganizing prisoners of war.
Of course, [Yanhuang League] also has similar problems.
The 50,000 soldiers sent by Ouyang Shuo are undoubtedly very precious to Luofengcheng. They can easily form a legion in Luofengcheng.
After all, in this battle, Luofengcheng contributed, but got nothing.
Even if they were allies, Ouyang Shuo and Feng Prison Huang had a deep friendship, so they wouldn't just take advantage of Luo Fengcheng with peace of mind. If they really did that, they would be destroying the Great Wall themselves.
…………
In addition to the prisoners of war, the biggest harvest of this battle is a group of civil servants and generals.
Needless to say, Zhang Liang, the holy man, and Li Mu, the god general, are the biggest gains of this war. In addition, Wei Yan under Feng Qingyang's command, Wang Li under Cai Yunzhinan's command, and Li Guang under my command Big Bad Wolf also gained a lot.
In addition to these famous ones, there are also eight historical military generals and ten historical civil servants. Although they are all unknown generations, they are also the last among king-level talents, but they can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of Great Xia.
It is no problem for eight generals to serve as division heads. The best of the ten civil servants can be appointed as the county guard, and the next best can be appointed as the magistrate or the governor's yamen.
…………
In the next few days, Ouyang Shuo discussed the relevant personnel arrangements with the cabinet, the Privy Council and the Military Aircraft Department.
The first announcement was the arrangement of military generals. This reorganization of nine full-stacked field regiments at once would be a huge burden on the dynasty's finances, and it would almost consume all of the court's funds.
Even without completing the digestion of the three major provinces, Great Xia would not be able to sustain the next big battle. This strike is not only an objective requirement, but also a choice of last resort.
In the two-month war, the human, material and financial resources used amounted to three million gold coins.
What is fought in war is money, not just talk.
This is just war expenses. After the war, routine expenses such as renewing equipment for the newly formed army, building camps, configuring logistics bases, and distributing pensions to the fallen soldiers, amounted to another five million gold coins.
The Great Xia military industry system is already extremely complete. Logically speaking, it is not difficult to update the equipment for the legion. The difficulty lies in the huge demand for iron ore to update equipment on such a large scale.
If this trend continues, the iron ore in Daxia will definitely not be able to last for three years.
When this round of army reorganization is completed, Daxia will have six full-scale armies, three independent corps, six full-scale fleets, one royal fleet, and fourteen local garrison divisions.
After a careful calculation, the total army strength reached 3.33 million, which looked terrifying, but to defend a dynasty with a vast territory and long borders like Daxia, these troops were necessary.
And to maintain such a huge army, the monthly expenditure of the entire army alone would amount to 1.5 million gold coins. If daily expenses such as food, equipment loss and other daily expenses were included, it would probably exceed 3 million gold coins.
If it weren't for the great business of the Great Xia Dynasty, as well as its developed commerce and trade, and abundant taxation, it would not be able to support such a powerful army at all.
That's why there is such a saying, "Without financial support, any dream of a strong army is just a castle in the air."
…………
On November 2, Daxia announced the appointment and dismissal of a series of generals.
Unsurprisingly, the divine general Li Mu was appointed as the commander of the newly formed Yingyang Army and awarded the rank of general. At the same time, Li Mu also became a member of the Military Aircraft Department as usual, and entered the core center of Daxia, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.
[Name]: Li Mu (God level)
[Title]: One of the top ten famous generals in ancient China
[Dynasty]: Warring States (Zhao)

[Occupation]: Super General

[Commander]: 97 [Force]: 80 [Intelligence]: 85 [Politics]: 40

[Equipment]: slightly
[Comment]: General Li Muliang guards the border for Zhao. The city rents into the curtain, and the scholars will never tire of it. The flames of war are independent, and both riding and shooting are practiced. If you are in trouble, you will enter immediately, and insurance is the first priority. Do not allow waves to fight, and fight to kill Yan. If you feel timid, you will easily burn the flames. If you can't win a battle, you can lose a thousand if you lose. Please ask her to come out again, the law is only the same as before. Soldiers are willing to fight, and then martial law. By surprise, lure his soldiers to add. The first battle broke it, and the heart was chilled. Don't dare to violate the border, more than ten years. Such achievements should be marked as Lingyan. If you don't obey orders, you will lose your life. Alas, it's hard to say.
At the end of the Warring States period, Li Mu was the only good general Zhao relied on to support the crisis. He attacked the Xiongnu in the north and blocked the Qin Dynasty in the south.
Li Mu's life story can be roughly divided into two stages. First, he fought against the Xiongnu on the northern border of Zhao State, and then he mainly fought against Qin State. Because of the heavy damage to the Qin army in the Battle of Yi'an, he was awarded the title of Lord Wu'an.
The Battle of Zhao Breaking the Huns and the Battle of Fei are Li Mu's classic battles. The former is a typical battle in the history of Chinese wars in which large infantry regiments wiped out large cavalry regiments, and the latter is an example of encirclement and annihilation warfare.
In 229 B.C., Zhao Wangqian fell into Qin's divorce plan, listened to the slander, seized Li Mu's military power, and soon killed Li Mu. Li Mu's innocence caused Zhao Guo to destroy the Great Wall, and later generations regretted it.
This time in charge of the Ying Yang Army, it can be regarded as giving Li Mu a broad platform to display his ambitions.
…………
In addition to Li Mu, the commander of the Yingyang Army, the five regiment commanders of the Yingyang Army also appeared one by one.
Cao Chun, Deputy Commander of the Second Corps of the Imperial Guard, was promoted to Commander of the First Corps of the Yingyang Army. Xia Houyuan, deputy head of the Fourth Army of the Longxiang Army, was promoted to head of the Second Army of the Yingyang Army.
Li Guang, a veteran, served as the commander of the Third Army of the Yingyang Army.

[Loyalty]: 70 points

[Comment]: The seventy battles of the Xiongnu were inappropriate. As soon as he lost his way, his anger destroyed his liver and intestines. The number of Jun En's thoughts is odd, which will make you restrained. The white head is ashamed to go to prison, and the general will be weeping.
In the Battle of Mobei, a lucky lord named "I am the Big Bad Wolf" completed the side mission of Li Guang and subdued the veteran Li Guang. The lord's territory is in the Northern Sichuan Province, and this time it has also belonged to Daxia.
Sima Guang said in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian": "Li Guang governs the people without using the law, and everything is evil. Li Guang's general makes everyone easy, and he is so talented, but it can't be the law."
Coincidentally, Huang Chunyao, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, once had a similar evaluation of Li Guang.
"Li Guangfei is a talented general. He has no troops and everyone can do what he wants. He can do it for profit, but he will be overwhelmed when he meets a big enemy. The Taishi Gong said that Guang is proud of him. He used a hundred horses for Shangjun to defeat the Huns with thousands of horses. Shoot and kill the general, unsaddle the saddle and lie down, this is the weapon that will help the general. If the husband is dignified and solid, and the banner is upright, it advances like wind and rain, and retreats like a mountain. Is it wide enough? The king of Huainan rebelled, and he only feared Wei Qing and Ji It’s dark, but I don’t hear about Guang. Tai Shigong, because of his loneliness and indignation, talked about Guang, but if Wei Qing is worthless, then read it along with the text, and the advantages and disadvantages of Guang and Qing can’t be concealed.”
It is said that Li Guang only showed his personal bravery, whether it was running the army or fighting, he was not very good. Compared with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, he was far behind.
Li Guang's reputation in later generations was so great, but Sima Qian avoided the important and ignored it.
Even so, Li Guang was considered to be a veteran with rich experience and the desire to make contributions. After much deliberation, Ouyang Shuo still awarded Li Guang the post of head of the army.
Speaking of Li Guang, this person had a grudge with Huo Qubing, the commander of the Imperial Guards. Li Guang's youngest son, Li Gan, was shot and killed by Huo Qubing.
This time Li Guang appeared in the wilderness, accompanied by his youngest son Li Gan and grandson Li Ling.
Ouyang Shuo originally wanted to transfer Li Guang to the City Guard Army, but because of the grievances between Li Guang and Huo Qubing, he transferred him to the Yingyang Army far away to avoid any troubles.
Li Gan was also transferred to the Second Army of the Yingyang Army as the head of the division.
Li Ling is the eldest grandson of Li Guang. He was good at riding and shooting. He was ordered to go to the Huns. He led 5,000 infantry and 80,000 Huns to fight in Junji Mountain. Because they were outnumbered, they were defeated and surrendered.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty misunderstood the rumors that Li Ling trained soldiers for the Huns, and the three tribes of barbarians. Later, Shan Yu married the princess to Li Ling and became the king of the right school, in charge of the Jiankun tribe.
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Huns of the Han Dynasty got married. When Li Ling was young, his colleagues Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie were in power, and they sent people to persuade Li Ling to return to the country.
When he appeared in the wilderness, this historically controversial figure was just a 12-year-old boy. Ouyang Shuo sent him to the Army Lecture Hall for further training, so as to learn Li Guang's way of being a monarch and a minister.
