The labor shortage to complete the first year of construction in the plan was solved, and Lu Zhe would of course be relieved, but new problems arose.

Why reorganize the army? On the one hand, because the number of troops is too large, the old and weak in the army need to be selected to form a force that is all composed of young and strong people. On the other hand, many of the armed forces that have swelled in a very short period of time have taken refuge in the form of formations, and they will inevitably be broken up and split up in order to eliminate the formation of mountaineering.

The main purpose of Lu Zhe's reorganization of the army was naturally to prevent the army from being weakened by old and weak, and also to strengthen his own control over the army, and at the same time to refine the standing army, the main battle army, and the garrison army in the concepts of later generations.

For example, the three army corps in the south, east, and north, as well as the western army corps that will inevitably appear in the future, all belong to the standing army, which is also the establishment of the so-called border army, also called the standing army.

The Praetorian Guard Army is being organized and the Imperial Forest Army is being formed, and these two troops are the main battle corps, which is the so-called main battle army or field army.

The necessary garrisons of the forts in various places, the garrisons of the various arteries, these are the so-called garrisons.

If it is called according to the name of the Celestial Empire, it is the treatment of the first-class army, the second-class army, and the third-class army, and the order from high to low is the Praetorian Guard Army and the Yulin Army as the first-class army, the eastern, western, southern, and northern army corps as the second-class army, and the garrisons of various forts and key roads are the establishment of the third-class army.

The strict hierarchy is not for the sake of sounding, and each legion with a different rank, their number of troops, equipment, and supply share will be clearly differentiated in many aspects.

The future establishment of the Praetorian Guard will not be less than 150,000, of which the number of cavalry will reach at least 40,000, such as the heavy infantry, which will not be less than 20,000 in other units, and the crossbowmen have been determined to be 20,000, and the remaining non-commissioned officers will each be treated in armor, such as the leather armor of spearmen and the iron armor of Pak sword soldiers. Such treatment is much higher than that of other troops.

For the construction of the Praetorian Guard. According to the plan, the formation of the Praetorian Guard will be relatively slow, and the formation of the Janissary Army will not rely on recruitment, but will be selected from the standing army and the garrison army, and the first batch of 50,000 troops will be established, and the construction will be completed one by one in an unlimited time.

The elite troops from the eastern, western, southern, and northern armies and garrisons were drawn to supplement the Praetorian Guard, which was also part of Lü Zhe's precautions, which was nothing more than to ensure the strength of the Praetorian Guard (Central Army) and form a check and balance on the rest of the army. to ensure the absolute military superiority of the central government. At the same time, the absolutely elite Praetorian Guard will also serve as a legion to expand its territory in the future, and it is also very necessary to ensure its combat effectiveness.

As for the Yulin Army (Junior Army), to be honest, it doesn't happen overnight to have combat power, and it will take at least five or six years for those teenagers to grow up.

This arrangement was based on the premise of the reorganization of the whole army in the first phase to lay a solid foundation for the future, but the changes in Changsha County required a sufficient number of troops to move south, which seemed to delay Lu Zhe's plan.

Kuaitong, Xiao He, Yan Bi. These three people, one is a person who hovers between the status of military adviser and staff officer, one is the chief dispatch officer in charge of civil affairs and army logistics, and the other is the head of the intelligence system. They were the ones who knew Lu Zhe's intentions, and no one else knew about Lu Zhe's overall plan for rebuilding the army.

Since they knew the overall plan, how could they not guess what Lu Zhe's depressed face was for.

"Lord, it is imperative to transfer troops south this time. If you fail to annihilate the vast majority of Baiyue's population in Changsha County this time, and let them escape back to the deep mountains and old forests, you will ...... in the future" Kuaitong knew that Lu Zhe was not a twisted person. But the necessary advice still needs to be said.

Lu Zhe was just unhappy that his plan was disrupted, and the priorities of the matter were naturally clear, he walked to the side of the map of mountains and rivers, and stared back and forth at certain areas for a long time.

There are too many water systems in Changsha County, and the dense water system of Dongting Lake is one, which runs from the Hunan water that diverges from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to the extreme south, which seems to divert into the South China Sea that can flow directly to the later generations, as well as Zishui, Leishui, and Boluo, and you will find that the entire Changsha County is surrounded by many long water systems.

"Minyue ......" Lu Zhe is a little stuffy, if he remembers correctly, Minyue is a branch of the Fujian region in later generations, Fujian is a mountainous area, and it seems that the water system is not very complicated: "Minyue is very good at driving boats?" ”

There is no mistake in memory, whether it is the Warring States period or in modern times, Fujian's mountains and rivers are famous for their many mountains, and the water system during this period is the remaining water that flows down from the Lujiang River at the end of Qin, and there are new water systems such as the Min River, Jiulong River, and Futun until modern times.

At the end of the Warring States Period, Qin was unified to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and it was in such a place with many mountains and few water systems that the Minyue people were good at boating? I can't say what it's for.

Lu Zhe did not personally watch, whether it is called Fujian or Minzhong County, the reason why the water system in that area is less on the map is because the water system is not wide or long enough to be recorded on the map, in fact, the small rivers and streams in that area are densely packed with Cheng dù is staggering.

Yan Bi had the right to speak, since the strategic policy of first the south and then the north, he sent a lot of spies to Lingnan and Zhengnan (Minzhong County and Nanhai County established by Qin), and although the information collected could not guarantee its perfection and authenticity, he still had a corresponding understanding of the appearance of these places and the ethnic conditions of various ethnic groups.

"Minyue is good at water warfare, and their ability to fight in the mountains is not bad. At the same time, because Su Wuzhu stayed in Chu State for a long time during his youth, he also followed Chu State's ...... after he returned The society you call the civilization system is improving the lives of the Minyue people. ”

Lu Zhe understood a little, that is to say, the Minyue people not only have a strong ability to fight water warfare in mountain warfare, but at the same time, because the Minyue people learn from the Chu State, their living habits, including social structure, are not as backward as other Baiyue tribes, and to put it more clearly, Minyue is almost out of the Stone Age.

Sima Xin's war report has a general introduction to the Baiyue tribes, the South Vietnamese are barbaric and cruel, the Ouyue are large in number and relatively structural, and the Minyue people are relatively good in equipment but militant in general.

"Maybe we can be like the three clans, find an opportunity to contact Su Wuzhu, and make Minyue stand on our side." Kuaitong spoke his mind.

Lu Zhe shook his head without hesitation, one Luo Shao is enough, in less than three months, he has appeased nearly 300,000 Baiyue (not all of them), and if he adds one Minyue, wouldn't the Baiyue people under his rule be doubled again, which is contrary to the elimination of Baiyue and the removal of tumors (unstable factors).

Wu Zhu is also a descendant of Goujian, the king of Yue, which is no different from Luo Shao in terms of identity, both of them in the original history of the uprising at the end of Qin after the outbreak of the uprising with the Central Plains princes together against Qin.

Luo Shao's army was in the area from central Guizhou to Changsha, and in history he and Fu Hu followed Mei to revolt, and Mei Wei led the army to follow Poyang to order Wu Rui to enter the war to destroy Qin. After the fall of Qin, the dispute between Chu and Han broke out, Luo Shao was on the side of Han, and finally was crowned the king of Dongou for his merits, and established the Dongou State and entrenched in the entire southern part of Zhejiang, including modern Wenzhou, Lishui and most of Taizhou.

Su Wuzhu's experience is similar to that of Luo Shao, and he also took refuge in the Han side from the end of the anti-Qin war to the struggle between Chu and Han, and finally became the king of Han with a different surname, establishing the Dongyue Kingdom and entrenching itself in modern Fujian.

Of course, Lu Zhe didn't know what Luo Shao and Su Wuzhu did in the original history, and he accepted Luo Shao's refuge so that the Baiyue clans under his rule of more than 300,000 people had already regretted a little, how could he add another one more to the Minyue.

Kuaitong's Jian Yì was rejected and was silent for a while, and he wanted to persuade him again but was stopped by Lu Zhe.

"Changsha County has a lot of blood debts, and Minyue also has a share, how can I let them go!" Lu Zhecai didn't want to leave endless disasters because of the convenience of a while: "The grass must be cut to the roots, otherwise the spring breeze will blow and grow again!" ”

Xiao He and Yan Bi didn't know how to look at each other, they smiled at the same time and nodded to each other, as if they thought of something, they twisted their heads separately and again.

It's not been a day and a half since the two didn't deal with each other, Yan Bi didn't like Xiao He, this guy was relied on as soon as he came, and Xiao He felt dangerous when he found out that Yan Bi was going to make trouble. However, the two of them are surprisingly unanimous in "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots", and think that Lu Zhe's move is An Wanshi's move.

After the conquest of the south, the five counties will inevitably need to resettle to the newly opened territory, so the immigrants always need to be developed in the past, and the Baiyue people will not be expelled or killed, Xiao He feels that the new immigrants cannot produce in the endless sneak attacks, so what is the use of occupying the land, it is more of a drag on the administration.

Yan Bi's happiness may be a little psychologically distorted, he insists that as a human being, he will mainly kill people, but Lu Zhe is obviously unwilling to put high pressure on the internal when governing the territory, unless he really takes his own death, otherwise it will be a labor reform. Can a monarch who doesn't kill be considered a monarch? The rule has always been built on the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, and Lu Zhe doesn't like to mention the senseless butcher's knife to the so-called "own people", what kind of good governance is emphasized, then it is better to raise the butcher's knife to the other race, anyway, it is not to carry out some inner saint and outer king!

Kuaitong noticed Xiao He and Yan Bi's actions, he really felt that buying some of the Baiyue people was beneficial to quickly pacify the south, and he should also do his best to pacify the south, you must know that the situation in the Central Plains is changing all the time, if the Central Plains changes dramatically and they can't afford to go north, it will definitely be a terrible thing.

"Okay, take three days to prepare, wait for Su Lie's 50,000 troops to return to the plain of the right flank of Luo County, and the troops on the side of Nanling also happened to arrive at the left flank and the front of Luo County successively." Lu Zhe thought about something, and replied: "Hurry up and inform Li Shiqi and Luo Shao, let them both hurry up!" (To be continued......)
