Chapter 787: Yang Yizhong Town is in the north, Zeng Weijie Town is in the southwest

What he wanted was to use Liu Xing to achieve the glory of his family, but what Liu Xing was thinking about, the breeder could not know at all. Who let him not have the ability to be wise and be able to read Liu Xing's heart?

However, Liu Xing didn't want to worry about that, and after he thought about it for a short time and hurriedly wrote down the key points of Liu Xing's words, Liu Xing continued to elaborate on the idea of in-depth reform of the military system that he had thought of.

The three armies of the Expedition to the North, the Expedition to the West, and the Expedition to the East are now the three major armies officially set by the Northern Song Dynasty, and Liu Xing decided to use his own brother to make an example of a hundred and strictly order rectification, but also knew that Wu Jue's strength was too weak compared to the other two.

In the war in Huaixi, Wu Jue has almost fought now. Only three important cities were left to fight, and after he finished fighting, Liu Xing was ready to let Wu Jue lead Hubei, Huaixi, and Huaidong, and build two new provinces under his rule, and hand over all the north of the river to him to guard.

Since Wu Jue was to be allowed to defend the Jiangbei defense line in the future, the 400,000 troops under his command were obviously insufficient. Therefore, Liu Xing's idea was to let Yang Mi stay in Jiangxi, and all the navy and river defense forces in the future retreated north.

Jiangxi is a barren land, although there is a coinage supervisor and two silver mines in southern Jiangxi, but the fiscal and tax revenues there are simply not enough to support the local government offices at all levels, which is the main reason why Liu Xing decided to let the old troops of Jiangxi Yang Qi withdraw north.

After the retreat of those Jiang defense troops to the north, Liu Xing's desire to make Jiangxi a place for King Kang to burn money and consume troops was the second main reason why Liu Xing decided to abandon Jiangxi.

After the Jiangfang Army went north, Liu Xing decided to officially give those Jiangfang troops a name, which was called the Xiajiang Army. The establishment of this army is larger than that of the regular Royal Army units under Wu Jue, and its number of soldiers is basically allocated to three, four, and three.

What is the three-four-three system? That is, a battalion of four teams, a full strength of 500 people. There are three battalions and a full strength of 2,400 people. One co-four bids, four bids. 10,000 people. There are three associations in one town, and 35,000 people. Follow this compilation model. The navy is on the strength of the Jiangjiang Defense Army. It can be capped at 120,000 people.

The biggest reason for this establishment is, of course, that the Jiangfang Army needs to have enough warships, as well as sufficient land support and self-supply capabilities.

Just strengthening a Jiang defense army is obviously not enough for the extra-long front that runs through Hubei and Lianghuai. Therefore, Liu Xing decided to order Yang Yizhong to transfer part of his troops to the south and assign them to Wu Jue, and at the same time let Liu Jian subordinate some soldiers and horses to Wu Jue.

On the line along the Yangtze River between Hubei and Lianghuai, Liu Xing finally clearly defined its total strength as the Royal Army's regular combat reserve army, which must reach eight armies and 640,000 people.

With the addition of a Jiang Defense Army and patrol troops and royal air force units that will inevitably be formed in various localities in the future, Wu Jue will command a total of 900,000 troops to be stationed in Hubei and Lianghuai, ready to fight against the Southern Dynasties at any time......

Wu Jue made it clear that he wanted to customize 900,000 conventional combat reserve troops. Then several other places should naturally be clearly customized. How do you customize it? After pondering for a moment, Liu Xing made specific arrangements.

In the land of Saibei, after Yang Yizhong's subordinates were eliminated and transferred to other places, the regular combat reserve army was no more than eight armies and 640,000 people, with one navy and coastal defense army of 120,000 and one cavalry army and 80,000 people. With the addition of the Royal Air Force units, the total number of regular combat-ready troops in the northern part of the country is 960,000.

Yang Yizhong no longer wants to be the current governor, and directly changes to the governor of Saibei. Liaonan, Liaobei, Songjiang, and Heishui built four provinces, set up a governor's palace in northern Saibei, and let him be the governor of northern Saibei.

Since Yang Yizhong went north to become the governor of Saibei, the existing governor pattern in the Central Plains should also be changed. The four provinces of Shaanxi, Ningxia, Shanxi, and Suiyuan were re-regulated into a single governor's office. He was called the Governor of Jingxi, and he was still held by Liu Jian.

The area of moderation has changed, and Liu Xing has also standardized the number of soldiers under Liu Jian's command. A regular combat readiness army of two armies in one province and a town-level establishment of the Royal Air Force. Four provinces. A total of 960,000 regular combat troops were set for Liu Qi.

There is also the navy, but Liu Jian still surpasses Wu Jue in terms of strength and is on a par with Yang Yizhong. When the seed master heard this, he couldn't help but secretly think to himself: I fought the tiger brother and severely reprimanded your ninth brother, and you kid immediately let your ninth brother come out and form a deterrent force for you in terms of strength and help you balance.

Good boy, that's a good job! This power has been used by you to be superb, it seems that the wisdom of the demon monk is true, you have really begun to stride towards the emperor of the people!

Hearing his heartfelt voice, Liu Xing disagreed, and secretly said in his heart: To balance the forces is the most important reason to deter the governors and prevent the recurrence of the rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty. I don't need my own brother, who else can I use, this has something to do with whether I can become the emperor of a generation......

Since there is a need for balance, the two provinces of Dongchuan and Xikang handed over by Liu Jian will naturally have a new governor. Moreover, Dongchuan is now the largest place to replenish the troops of the southern army that has not really defined the name, but it is a de facto existence. In the recent past, Xikang has also made several moves against some small groups of dissatisfied Qiang people and rogues in Xiqiang.

Whoever goes there to be a governor is not much lighter than the other governors, so the selection of people must be people who are at ease and at ease. People who can meet this requirement, Liu Xing immediately thought of Zeng Weijie.

So, Liu Xing almost didn't think much about it, and immediately decided to let Zeng Weijie go to the southwest to serve as the governor of the southwest after the reform, and lead the military and political affairs of Xikang and Dongchuan.

Since Zeng Weijie is the best candidate to use peace of mind and peace of mind, Liu Xing naturally will not let him be inferior to several other governors in terms of troops.

Dongchuan was originally preparing to build the Shangjiang Water Division, but this time Liu Xing directly renamed it the Shangjiang River Defense Army of the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty and belonged to Zeng Weijie.

At the same time that Dongchuan set up three conventional combat reserve armies, Xikang set up three conventional combat reserve armies, and the two provinces jointly set up a regular Royal Air Force to control them. The navy, land and air force were so regulated that Zeng Weijie went to the southwest, and the upper limit of the full number of troops in his hands reached about 800,000.

Although it does not seem to be as much as the other governors, it is self-evident how strong the air force is in terms of combat power in two provinces.

The balance of strength, Liu Xing's balance naturally has to be justified. This reason, Liu Xing directly defined Zeng Weijie: strictly prevent Tibet, help protect Dali, deter Xiqiang, and assist in the Western Regions. (To be continued.) )
