Chapter 604: The Army in Combing
Li Xin is now not only unofficial and unemployed, but also a white ding, after all, history has changed, and when the first emperor was seriously ill, this benevolent brother was completely forgotten by the Qin center, and the battle against the Xiongnu was not among the summons.
With the history has changed a lot, for example, because of the predicament of the Qin State, the slaves of Shaofu were turned into soldiers in advance, and Zhang Han of Shaofu was also appointed as a military general in advance, he is now one of the four major generals of the Central Plains Army, and the troops in his hands are selected from the elite among the slaves, and the number is 50,000.
The biggest change in history is, of course, the rise of Lu Zhe, in the extreme lack of good generals and commanders, he immediately ordered someone to invite Li Xin after receiving a report about him, but unfortunately he sent someone to go and did not find Li Xin. Later, the intelligence department led by Yan Bi also lost the trace of Li Xin.
Li Xin's descendants are all famous, and in addition to Li Guang, there is also Li Ling. But to be honest, what happened to this family is really bad enough, Li Guangping was famous in a hundred battles and difficult to be a marquis, his son Li Dang was shot by Huo Qubing because he offended Wei Qing, and his grandson (Li Danghu's son) Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu after a lack of rescue and unable to break through.
Lu Zhe really wanted to recruit Li Xin, one was because of the inheritance of the military general's family, and the other was ...... It's out of a kind of collecting habit, collecting women after others are powerful, and his habit is to collect historical celebrities.
So far, Lu Zhe's "collection" of historical celebrities can be regarded as a lot, and those who followed Liu Bang to fight the world were almost "wiped out" except for Fan Xu, and some of the original Ji Bu, Huan Chu, Wu Rui, and Mei Kai who were originally mixed up in the south were also in the bag. But to be honest, in addition to being familiar with those "Peixian lineage", Lu Zhe also knows that Ji Bu and Zhong Liyi in the south are actually unaware of their historical achievements for Huan Chu, Wu Rui, and Mei Kai.
Zhong Liyi was only known to Lu Zhe after escorting Yu Ji to Nanling, and at present, Zhong Liyi was arranged by Lu Zhe to be the head of the guard, and Yu Ji was simply arranged to be a neighbor next door to Han Xin's residence.
The current Yu Ji is just an eight or nine-year-old girl, although she can already see that she is a beautiful embryo, but to be honest, what does Lu Zhe think about an eight or nine-year-old girl...... That's really hard.
According to Lu Zhe's thoughts. Han Xin is fourteen years old this year, and Yu Ji is nine years old, so can the two get along day and night, and finally see if the two will have any sparks, and simply let Han Xin marry Yu Ji.
In fact, Lu Zhe's idea is very undesirable, he is "doing this extra thing" according to the thinking of modern people, and simply marrying Yu Ji Xu to Han Xin is enough, how can it be so troublesome. Regarding Lu Zhe's marriage of Yu Ji to Han Xin, the remnants of the Yu family would only feel honored and high, how could they oppose it?
Oh. The reason why the Yu family is a remnant family is related to the Xiang family's army, this family was robbed by the arson because they refused to provide food and grass to the Xiang family's soldiers, Yu Ji's parents died at the hands of the Xiang family's soldiers, and some of the main family members died so that only Yu Ji and Yu Zi were left.
Thinking of something, Lu Zhe simply beckoned Han Xin, who was participating in the audit, to lean over and asked in a low voice, "How do you get along with Yu Xiaoniang?" ”
This is a small meeting to discuss tomorrow's military parade, and the order of the parade has actually been decided, and gradually the meeting has become a matter of expanding the army again.
Han Xin obviously didn't understand why his master asked that, and he replied casually, "It's good." Then he began to ask questions about the army like a curious baby.
Lu Zhe currently has four legions, namely the Northern Legion, the Eastern Legion, the Southern Legion and the Forbidden Army.
The Northern Legion originally had only 30,000 soldiers, probably the smallest of the original legions, and recently the Great War between Qin and Qi, Yan, and Zhao broke out in the neighboring Chen County. Lü Zhe appropriately increased the number of the Northern Army to 150,000 soldiers. The lieutenant invited himself to return to Nanling, and Lu Zhe allowed the lieutenant to return to Nanling and serve as a civilian, and the commander of the northern corps was also replaced by Ji Bu.
The Eastern Army was a corps set up to target the state of Chu. The original number of soldiers was 50,000, plus the 30,000 and 70,000 auxiliaries that originally belonged to Huan Chu, and the total number of soldiers was 150,000. Now the state of Chu no longer exists. The responsibility for recovering the remnants of the Xiang clan was also handed over to the local garrison and the intelligence soldiers (class agents) on Yan Bi's side, and the 50,000 soldiers in the original establishment had been transferred to the northern legion, and the other 100,000 people either became local garrisons or were transferred back to Nanling, and Ji Bu was also reappointed from the commander of the Eastern Legion to the commander of the Northern Legion.
The Southern Army is the unit formed by Lu Zhe to invade the south, and the total strength of this army is the largest in many cases, and its composition is probably the most complex of all the legions. Among this legion, 50,000 were adapted from Qin soldiers, about 100,000 were adapted from Luo Yao's naturalized Baiyue, and the other 50,000 were incorporated from the Lian, Huang, Yang, and Beng clans in the south of Changsha County. As the Lingnan campaign tends to go smoothly, Lu Zhe has already begun to transfer back the 50,000 Qin people in the legion, and the rotation will be the ten schools and horses belonging to the forbidden army, and the position of the corps commander will also change, Sima Xin will be transferred back, Zhou Wen will not be the next corps commander of the southern legion, and the new corps commander will be Luo Shao.
The forbidden army was naturally Lu Zhe's direct subordinate troops, and the establishment of the legion had always fluctuated, sometimes less than 30,000, and at most it reached 120,000. Because Lu Zhe is the commander of the army, this unit is of course the best in the whole army in terms of non-commissioned soldiers, equipment, treatment, etc.
At present, because the Chu State has disappeared, the formation of the Eastern Army has been canceled, and the Northern Army has officially removed the original number and become the Defense Army (both the Frontier Garrison Guard), the Southern Army has also been renamed the Southern Expeditionary Corps, and part of the Forbidden Army has been reorganized into the Central Garrison Guard Army (that is, the Nanling City Defense Army), but a new huge corps has appeared on paper.
When the time comes, troops will be sent north, so how can some targeted deployment be missing? Therefore, the new establishment will be sufficiently targeted on paper, and in order to prevent possible multi-lane operations, the corps under a corps must also be divided into formations.
The new corps is very modern, Lu Zhe named it the National Defense Force, the corps is expected to have a strength of about 700,000 people, and there will be several corps under the large corps, which are divided into a fixed number of standing corps and an indefinite compulsory supplementary corps model.
The so-called standing corps is, of course, the official number of troops, and the fixed personnel of each legion will remain 50,000, and they do not have too distinctive names, but will only be stored with the numbers of "First Legion", "Second Legion", "Third Legion", and so on; The number of the legion temporarily formed by the conscripts will start with one hundred and zero, and some prefixes will be added to the number, such as the new 101st Regiment and the new 102nd Legion...... Such a number (in fact, it is a reserve force).
The formation of the new national defense army is of course in preparation for the future march into the Central Plains and Qin, so far there have been four corps from the old corps, of which the first corps and the second corps are the Qin soldiers who are integrated into the forbidden army and the southern corps; The composition of the 3rd and 4th legions was selected from the Eastern and Northern legions.
The First Legion is a cavalry corps composed entirely of cavalry, so even if it has just been formed, although the official name is "First Legion", many people will always call it aliases, such as the First Cavalry Army, the First Horse Army, and the like.
The second legion also has its own characteristics, Lu Zhe will incorporate the heavy infantry in the original forbidden army into this legion, and the heavy infantry that has been trained later will also be transferred to this legion, so in terms of the establishment of the 50,000 people of the second legion, there will be 30,000 heavy infantry and corresponding crossbowmen and related light pawns.
The Third Legion is a mixed corps, which includes cavalry, heavy infantry, and equipment soldiers (generally referred to as bed crossbows, ballistas, wells, etc.).
The composition of the Fourth Army is also quite targeted, that is, it is filled with a large number of siege equipment, and some light troops are also full of it.
In fact, as long as you can see the entry, you will understand that Lu Zhe has formed four model corps, which is obviously with the nature of real yàn, and is basically groping for whether the army is unitary and targeted, or whether it is suitable for the establishment of multiple arms, and accumulates enough experience for the formation of new legions in the future.
Lu Zhe has other plans to do this, the number of new legions is more, then the number of military generals that can be appointed will inevitably increase, on the one hand, he is increasing the number of legions to prepare for the establishment of the king and the reward, on the other hand, he also has the intention of large-scale appointment and then preferential selection.
At the ceremony of the founding of the king, all the troops in the formation will select some soldiers to participate in the military parade, and some newly designed military uniforms will also appear in this military parade.
The so-called new design of military uniforms is a novelty, before any country and any army had only one style of uniform, but Lu Zhe is a traverser, he has been committed to improving the status of soldiers in society, and also seeks to increase the characteristics of soldiers' sense of honor, of course, it will bring in the concept of combat clothing and dresses, this time the soldiers participating in the parade will wear dresses instead of combat uniforms.
The newly designed dress is a modern style with a separate upper and lower body, in addition to buttons, epaulettes, armbands, belts, ribbons and other things, and the choice of color is very traditional Chinese, that is, a flaming red top and black pants.
Don't be surprised, the red and black combination is indeed the traditional combination of the "Wang Shi" after Qin, which Lu Zhe only knew after reading countless posts and materials before he crossed over. (To be continued......)
