Thanks for the reminder of Monchi D Feather.

……

The commander of the Imperial Wehrmacht was Zhonglang in the future, so Xu Zhi's becoming the right general of the immediate battlefield was actually one rank higher than his own rank, and he regarded this as a sign that he was about to be promoted.

According to the popular definition, in fact, the former general, rear general, left general, and right general of the immediate battlefield are the main generals of a certain partial division. This commander can command the legions on the front, and they need to follow the orders of the immediate battlefield commander, and each theater will have a commander, who can be a hussar general, a chariot general, or a guard general.

In the system of the Three Princes and Nine Princes, the Taiwei is one of the Three Princes, and the Hussar General, the Che Cavalry General, and the Wei General are the positions of the rank ratio of 2,000 Shi Yulu, and the so-called "rank ratio" is that the status is almost equal, or just secondary, which is probably the status of the Jiuqing. General Zhengdong, General Zhengnan, General Zhengbei, and General Zhengxi are the existence of Shangqing, and General Zhendong, General Zhenxi, General Zhennan, and General Zhenbei are official positions second to Shangqing, and so on.

In the system of the nine products of the system of the Tai Lieutenant is not the first general, each dynasty for the three princes and nine Qing system in the definition of the official position is not the same, sometimes the hussar general will be a military general, but sometimes the hussar general is the third or fourth general, there are more hussar generals and hussar generals such a name is only one "big" word of the official position, usually the hussar general plus a "big" word will be a military general.

The system formulated by Lu Zhe is not a pure system of three public and nine secretaries, nor is it a nine-product zhongzheng system. In the imperial system, hussar generals, chariot generals, and guard generals belong to the general's mansion, but they do not belong to the head of the general's mansion, but are used to appoint the commander of a certain war zone, after all, the empire does not have the official position of general, let alone the rank of marshal.

In the imperial system, the official ranks of the Wehrmacht were different from those of the Forbidden Army. For example, the commander of the Wehrmacht is a general, but the Forbidden Army will be led by Lang Zhongling.

Lang Zhongling is one of the "Qing" of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and his duty is to protect the safety of the palace city, and in some ways Lang Zhongling is also the central military general. According to the difference between the central and local governments, Lang Zhongling is relatively high and more noble or important.

At present, Sima Xin is the general of the hussars, the general of the Che cavalry and the general Wei have not yet been appointed, the generals of the eastern, southern, western and northern expeditions are also vacant, Ji Bu is currently the general of Zhenbei to lead the army in maintaining the Central Plains region and the area close to the grassland, Luo Yao was appointed as the general of Zhennan to maintain the West Asian region including Lingnan, and the lieutenant was appointed as the general of Zhenxi to maintain the Longxi region and is also ready to take over Shangjun, Beidi County and Neishi County. General Zhendong is vacant.

The reason for not appointing the four expeditions is that there is no need now, and the appointment of the four expedition generals will have to wait for the end of the war at the source of the Yellow River, once this war is over, the hussar generals will enter the vacant state again, the name of the grassland dispatch army will also be canceled, and the various legions that originally belonged to the grassland dispatch army will also have other arrangements.

After the fighting at the source of the Yellow River stopped, Lü Zhe would appoint a candidate for the general of the Four Expeditions.

The general of the expedition to the north is naturally responsible for conquering the depths of the grassland, and when the time comes, the number of the Northern Grassland Expeditionary Force will appear, and the first part of the expeditionary force will be targeted in the Junji Mountain area and the Wolf Juxu Mountain area. If all goes well, the theater will be gradually expanded to include the North Sea (Lake Baikal) area, and the attack will be carried out until it is close to the Arctic Circle.

The general of Zhengdong's campaign would target the vast tribal alliance of Donghu, which encompassed the entire northeast of the Xuansu Prefecture. The (Korean) peninsula is also completely included.

The direction of expansion of the general of the expedition to the west is the Southern Zhao and the plateau, and the entire Western Regions will also be the target of the campaign, and if possible, the expeditionary force will also expand militarily against Central Asia.

General Zhengnan is more special, there are no enemy countries on the continental shelf in the south of the empire. In fact, due south is already the mainland area of the empire, that is, in the southwest, there is still a large area of primeval forest that has not been incorporated into the empire's territory, so it is very likely that the general of Zhengnan will become a position that will not be appointed in the future.

The existence of the four generals must also be explained. If you say that the four generals are taken literally. That is the senior military general who leads the large corps to fight, but the empire does not always dispatch a large number of troops to fight in large corps, so the four expeditionary generals are medium corps combat scale. If the General of the Four Expeditions is to lead more than three corps to conduct military operations, then the General of the Four Expeditions will initiate a certain battle plan with a single corps.

According to the modern military rank system, hussar generals, chariot generals, and Wei generals are general ranks, and can command group armies in battle; The generals of the east, the west, the south, and the north are lieutenant generals, and the commanders are military units at the army level; General Zhengdong Zhonglang, General Zhengxi Zhonglang, General Zhengnan Zhonglang, and General Zhengbei Zhonglang are major generals, they command a corps, and when they have a combat mission, they also lead their own subordinate corps to carry out combat missions, but they add a prefix before the original Zhonglang General Commander to become a certain direction...... For example, the northern expedition to the north of the general.

The official titles of the Chinese civilization have strong Chinese characteristics, and in addition to the various official positions of the main position, such as the official positions of the four Zheng generals, there will also be many miscellaneous official positions, such as General Jianwei and General Wuwei...... and many other generals whose names seem to sound good, but in fact, they are simply "powerless" generals who do not have direct troops.

Because of the characteristics of Chinese civilization, there will be many, many famous generals, and each general cannot hear from the name how many troops are directly under him, and it is even more difficult to judge whether he is an "empty shell general", not to mention that he is not a person under the same civilization system, or a person under the same civilization system cannot figure it out without study.

Lu Zhe has also been considering using the modern military rank system for the imperial army, and directly copied that set of military rank system, but he knows very well that not every system is suitable for any era, so he has been hesitating.

Xu Zhi has every reason to believe that if the empire continues to expand in a certain direction in the future, he will definitely be qualified enough to compete for the position of one of the four generals, even if he can't compete for one of the four generals, becoming a general of the four expeditions is also an ironclad thing.

With a bright future and a promotion in the title, Xu Zhi felt pleasing to everything he saw, and he was very enthusiastic to entertain the envoy from Wusun.

Each civilization has its own characteristics, for Shea, who is the envoy of Wusun. The characteristics of Chinese civilization are so varied that he simply could not understand the meaning of many words in the translation, and he pondered for a long time to know the rarity of generals in Chinese civilization.

"The person who commands 50,000 elite soldiers is a lieutenant general?" Shea was a little dazed: "So how many troops can the general command?" ”

Xu Zhi, who was in an excellent mood, smiled and said, "General? Units of at least three regiments or more. ”

Shea already knew that in the other party's system, a legion was the most basic 50,000 soldiers, in addition to the soldiers, there was also a type of army called auxiliaries, and the number of auxiliary soldiers of each legion was not fixed, sometimes each legion would have more auxiliaries than soldiers, and sometimes the auxiliaries of each legion would be less than the soldiers, and in addition to the soldiers and auxiliaries, each legion would also have some second-line troops, civilians and the like.

"What is the population of your country......?" Shea asked rashly.

This time, Xu Zhi didn't answer immediately, he stared at She'a very meaningfully for a long time, and finally said leisurely: "The latest statistics are close to fifty million. ”

The total population of the empire was indeed close to fifty million. But more than half of them are children under the age of seven.

The empire under the rule of Lü Zhe was different from the previous pre-Qin in terms of population statistics, the empire counted all the population in the register, and the countries of the pre-Qin only counted adults.

The reason why the ancient pre-Qin only counted adults was because the probability of children dying was too high, and the other was that minors were not considered to be requisitioned by the state, so they felt that there was no need for statistics.

"Five, fifty million ???" Shea almost jumped up directly: "So it's true that your country has at least five million troops?!" ”

Oh, my God! What is the concept of 50 million people? Wusun Mandu is nearly 3.8 million people, 1.8 million is the population of Wusun himself, and there are nearly 2 million vassal slave population, the difference is many times???

Xu Zhi's eyes narrowed. He didn't know where this envoy of Wusun had found out that the empire had five million troops, and he didn't know if he was referring to the army that was currently being formed, or if it was an army that could dig up the source of five million soldiers, but it was clear that Wusun had studied the empire specifically.

As for now. The number of troops in the empire is 2.6 million, about 750,000 are regular troops (soldiers), and the remaining 1.85 million are auxiliary troops, second-line troops, tuntian soldiers, and garrisons in various places. Wherever Usun heard that the empire had five million troops, it was either misinformation. Either that or the annual summer and winter conscripts are also included.

Xu Zhi heard that the number of regiments of the Wehrmacht should be increased to twenty, and then the number of soldiers would increase to one million. He had also heard that the army system would be properly adjusted, such as the number of auxiliaries would be reduced by the mixed corps. Each mixed corps is limited to less than 10,000 auxiliaries; The cavalry corps will increase the number of auxiliaries, and each cavalry corps will also be equipped with a different number of auxiliaries according to the different types of troops, such as each light cavalry, scattered cavalry, and ranger cavalry with only one auxiliary, assault cavalry, crossbow cavalry with two auxiliaries, and heavy cavalry with three auxiliaries.

For many people in the cavalry corps, it can be seen from the change in the military system that the imperial center attaches great importance to the cavalry corps, and it is certain that the cavalry corps will become the main force in the future military expansion, which is too good news for everyone in the cavalry corps.

I have to say that Xu Zhi's information is very well-informed, but the information he got is not entirely accurate. Lu Zhe attaches more importance to the construction of cavalry, and is more inclined to the cavalry corps in terms of resources, but pays more attention to the navy under construction, and the navy will receive more resources than the cavalry corps in some aspects in the future.

Lu Zhe knew very well that no matter how much the army was strengthened, the empire's expansion on land would not be fast, but as long as the navy could adapt to the sea, there would not be so many restrictions, so it would be the fastest to expand from the sea in the future.

"Oh? In this way, the Xiongnu are also the enemies of Wusun, and your chieftain sent you to form an alliance with us against the Xiongnu? Xu Zhi was not surprised at all by the news.

In fact, there is no need to be surprised, the generals and colonels of the Han army have always attached great importance to intelligence spying, and it is not difficult to know from some intelligence that Wusun and the Xiongnu are in a hostile state.

"Yes, we are enemies with the Huns." After a pause, waiting for an interpreter, he pondered for a moment before continuing: "Although we had an unnecessary misunderstanding, we should not be enemies. We have a common enemy, and it would be beneficial for both sides to have an alliance. ”

The Han army that fought against Wusun came from the 1st Cavalry Regiment, and Han Xin, the leading officer at the time, is now standing on the sidelines.

Han Xin's evaluation of Wusun in the post-war report is not high, not that the Wusun cavalry is not martial, but that the Wusun civilization system is too primitive, with a loose command system that nomads usually have, and there is no set of strict and systematic command concepts to exert the combat effectiveness that a fierce cavalry should have.

"You ......" Xu Zhi glanced at Han Xin, and finally stared at She'a: "How many troops can participate in the war?" ”

"One hundred thousand, we can dispatch one hundred thousand." She'a could see Xu Zhi's disapproving expression, and he also knew that for the Han army, which could not invest hundreds of thousands of people in battle, Wusun's dispatch of 100,000 was too little, so he increased the bargaining chips: "It can also persuade some ethnic groups that have migrated from west to east to send troops to participate in the war." ”

Xu Zhi: "Heh! The sound didn't change the indifferent expression on his face.

"In addition to those ......," Shea became very serious, "and we can also provide support in the newspaper." ”

"What information?" Xu Zhi seemed to be in some interest.

But Shea was not in a hurry to speak, he asked, "So does your country have any intention of forming an alliance with us?" ”

Where is the matter that Xu Zhi can decide whether to form an alliance or not? He was ordered to receive the Wusun envoys, and also to find out what kind of force Wusun was. While understanding Wusun's strength, he also had to assess what kind of impact it would have on the battle situation if the Han army started a war against Wusun.

To tell the truth, whether it is the current Han army or the imperial army that is about to be integrated, they are always eager for the more enemies to be able to do as much as possible, and the more enemies there are, the more targets they can fight, and the more ways they can make contributions, and without the enemy, they will become decorations.

[Allies? The strong don't need allies! ——This is still from the mouth of Lu Zhe.

However, She'a's next words made Xu Zhi have to think carefully.

"A large army is gathering in the depths of the grassland, many, many large armies, and their target is you!"

"Huh?!" (To be continued......)
