At the beginning of August of the second year of Qianfu.

On the alluvial plain of the Yellow River in Ziqing Town, there are soldiers and horses walking all the way. The autumn wind is bleak, everything is slaughtered, and the weather begins to cool down when it enters the mid-autumn laurel moon.

However, the soldiers and horses marching in this line were full of energy, and the dragons and tigers were fierce.

They marched in a rare orderly march, dozens of miles long in front and back, and everywhere there were sentry scouts roaring by. The infantry was in front, the baggage was in the center, and the cavalry was escorted on both flanks. Sergeants one after another, in a group of ten people, a team of fifty people, each with men and horses as a marching sequence, each team commander and team leader, behind them the flag bearer carrying the flag of the whole team fluttering in the wind. The soldiers strutted with their heads held high, their faces were full of pride, they were the famous Zhenguo Army, and they were proud of this qualification.

Li Jing stood on the Huashan Mountain south of Qizhou Licheng, looking at the soldiers and horses on the plain not far away.

The relocation plan of Ziqing Town has almost been carried out, and now it is the exchange of defense between the Zhenguo Army and the Pinglu Army. According to the plan of the General Staff Department, two units of the 15,000-square-meter Lu Army and the 15,000 Ziqing United Army will be transferred to Dengzhou and Liaodong, and the other remaining troops and horses of the Zhenguo Army will be reorganized. The 16 counties of Ziqing and Sanshan are temporarily garrisoned by the 25,000 troops of the Zhenguo Army.

The Zhenguo army now has a lot of soldiers and horses, Li Jing has 25,000 soldiers and horses, 8,000 troops stationed in Youzhou, and 8,000 sailors and infantry in the south. Left behind 10,000 soldiers and horses. And five thousand recruits. and eight thousand united soldiers. All the soldiers and horses added up to 64,000 men and horses, and if you add the two 15,000 soldiers and 15,000 united soldiers of the Pinglu Army, it has reached 100,000 horses.

However, there are not many elite soldiers and horses, and it is urgent to integrate them together.

As early as when Li Jing was in Chang'an, he had already begun to prepare to integrate the Zhenguo Army into five armies and five ya, and separate the unity soldiers. Each army and each government were 5,000 men and horses. There are 50,000 soldiers in the Zhenguo Army. Now Pinglu and Li Jing also plan to reorganize them and organize them into the five armies of the Pinglu Army. So the two armies would be seventy-five thousand. In addition, the united army will be organized according to the scale of 1,000 men per county, and the Zhenguo army will now have 24,000 troops and will be divided into three armies.

Except for the soldiers and solidarity, the rest of the auxiliaries will be disbanded and returned to the peasants, but not completely. On the contrary, Li Jing proposed a task to the General Staff Department, which was to form a township army of 100,000 people among the people of the Zhenguo Army.

The United Army is an autumn and winter training camp. Wartime conscription, equivalent to a reserve army. And the village soldiers. According to Li Jing's plan, the drawing is similar to the archers of the Song Dynasty. The archers of the Song Dynasty had their actual duties more akin to those of the police than to the army, similar to those of the security regiment. However, Li Jing wants to form a township army, not just a local militia. The 100,000 township soldiers will be recruited from among the good citizens of each county and township, and the 100,000 township soldiers will be divided into four squads, each of which will serve for three months each year. The selected township soldiers were exempt from the tax of their own households, and during their service, the government paid salary subsidies, trained in the county during peacetime and non-wartime, and was responsible for maintaining local law and order, catching thieves and thieves, and being responsible for patrolling salt, tea, iron, copper, tin and other monopoly goods.

In the Song Dynasty, there were about 100 archers in one county, and the Zhenguo army was now preparing to form 100,000 township soldiers in 24 counties, with an average of about 4,000 people per county. Even if the population of the 24 counties of Zhenguo Army has reached 2 million, this proportion is very large.

However, the archers were reduced to lowly labor after the Song Dynasty, and the archers had to tattoo like soldiers. And Li Jing's plan is to develop this township soldier into a government soldier system. Township soldiers should pick those strong children of good families and rich families, and after becoming township soldiers, they can be exempted from field and military service, and at the same time, they will also have salary subsidies when they take turns to serve. In addition to being on duty for three months every year, the township soldiers also have to be trained during the autumn and winter farming slack.

When the time of war came, these village soldiers also had to serve as auxiliary soldiers and be transferred to the battlefield.

This is Li Jing's idea, hiding soldiers from the people, and not raising so many troops in peacetime, but when needed, he can pull out a well-trained army at any time.

The archers of the Song Dynasty were led, trained, and dispatched by county lieutenants. However, Li Jing did not intend to hand over such strength to the localities, but to separate them and have the Zhenguo Army re-establish a command system in each county and township. Regarding the establishment of the township soldiers, Li Jing did not use the establishment of the township army, but took out the establishment of the government soldiers. Five people in one team, two teams in one group, five teams in one team, two teams in one brigade, two brigades and one regiment, and five regiments as one battalion.

Although the township soldiers also have three levels in the battalion, they can neither command nor mobilize these township soldiers in peacetime.

Only in wartime, by the order of the General Staff Division and Bing Cao, and the marching Sima and Li Jing, the senior officers of the township army can lead the army Fu Yinxin to go down to transfer troops.

In non-war times, the highest unit of township soldiers is the battalion, with a battalion of 1,000 township soldiers, a regiment of 200 people, a brigade of 100 people, a team of 50 people, a gang of 10 people, and a team of 5 people.

Although it is impossible for this township soldier to form a scale and combat strength in a few years, everything needs to be prepared for a rainy day and institutionalized, so that many problems can be prevented. The more troops there are, the more Li Jing has to prevent internal problems. The biggest problem of the army of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties was the internal struggle for power, and the upper and lower levels guarded against each other and fought internally, which was the reason for the continuous mutiny in the feudal towns of the Five Dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing reorganized the army again and again, and this is what he defended. The Zhenguo Army and the Pinglu Army were split into fifteen armies, and the military power was dispersed in order to prevent some officers from becoming petty warlords.

The other generals were in favor of Li Jing's reorganization of the army, after all, every time the army was reorganized, the number of soldiers and horses was expanded, and there were many more vacancies in military positions, giving many officers the opportunity to be promoted.

The officers of the Pinglu Army had some opinions, but their opinions were basically of little use to Li Jing. Song Wei, Kang Chengxue, and Cui Yunqing all had to be transferred, and the 25,000 square Lu army would not have had to face the pressure of the Zhenguo army, but also the pressure of Wang Jingwu, and they had no choice.

The Pinglu Army was previously divided into several categories: tooth soldiers, foreign town soldiers, branch state soldiers, county and town soldiers, and unity soldiers, but now, the tooth soldiers and unity soldiers have been separated, and the remaining soldiers and horses can only accept Li Jing's reorganization as if they were scattered.

However, the sergeants of the Pinglu Army were full of expectations for the reorganization, because everyone knew that the treatment of the Zhenguo Army was much better than that of the Pinglu Army. Not to mention the well-equipped, their salaries and rewards alone were much higher than those of the Pinglu army. In particular, they all knew that after the reorganization, all the Pinglu troops could immediately get a piece of land, which made them even more excited.

Regarding the reorganization of the Pinglu Army, the three heads of the General Staff Division, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, and Gai Yu, were busy with the staff department and others for several days, and finally submitted a proposal for the reorganization. That is, the two 15,000 units of the Pinglu Army and the 15,000 soldiers left behind in Liaodong in Dengzhou, together with the 8,000 unity soldiers and the more than 10,000 unity soldiers in Ziqing Town, were reorganized together.

The elite soldiers and horses were selected from the most rear, and the most Lu's five armies were formed with 25,000 men and horses, and the others were formed into two armies of the Zhenguo Army with 10,000 people, and the rest formed the five armies of the Unity Army.

The 8,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Youzhou were reorganized into the Yanyun Army of the Fourth Army of the Zhenguo Army, while the 8,000 soldiers and horses of the fleet that went south were organized into the Zhenguo Army Naval Army.

The two 15,000 men and horses in Ziqing are now the number of the Seventh Army, the Black Flag Army, the Tielin Army, the Silver Spear Suburban Army, the Jinjia Shengjie Army, and the Crane Control Army, which are numbered as the Five Ya. They are the former Yakong Crane Army, the left Yayin Gun Suburban Jie Army, the right Yajin Jiashengjie Army, the Yanei Black Flag Army, and the rear Ya Tielin Army.

The three newly reorganized armies, the Yanyun Army as the left army, and the other two new armies were named the Flying Bear Army and the Sky Wolf Army, the Flying Bear Army was the Right Army, and the Sky Wolf Army was the middle army.

The 8,000 men of the navy army are a single army.

The five armies of the Zhenguo Army plus one naval army, the five armies of the Pinglu Army, the five armies of the unity army, and the tenth army of the township army that is still in the planning of the plan.

The Zhenguo Army, the Pinglu Army, the Unity Army, and the Water Army alone had 21 armies and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. The 16th Army of the Soldiers, the 5th Army of the United Army.

In this reorganization, Li Jing transferred nearly half of the officers at all levels from the Seventh Army in his hands to the rest of the Ninth Army. The Ninth Army also had a large number of officers who were demoted and transferred to the Fifth Army of Unity.

The Seventh Army in Ziqing also added a large number of soldiers from the rest of the armies, and after the new replenishment of more than 10,000 people, the establishment of the Seventh Army reached the standard of 5,000 people per army. After the reorganization of the five armies and five yas of the Zhenguo Army, because the Yanyun Army had 8,000 people, the strength of the most rear-end army reached 53,000. The five armies of the Pinglu Army reached the standard of 25,000 men. The five armies of the united army are 25,000, plus 8,000 levels.

The total number of people after the most is 113,000!

The 16th Army, uniting the 5th Army, Li Jing's soldiers and horses broke through the 100,000 mark and reached the 21st Army!

Among these soldiers and horses, Li Jing strengthened the number of cavalry this time, with 2,000 heavy cavalry and 3,000 light cavalry of the Black Flag Army, 2,000 light cavalry and 3,000 infantry each of the Silver Spear Suburban Jie Army and Jinjia Shengjie Army, and the Crane Army was a full cavalry army composed of 5,000 light cavalry. It is the Tielin Army, and there are also a thousand light horsemen. There were 25,000 soldiers and horses, 15,000 cavalry, 2,000 heavy cavalry, and 13,000 light cavalry.

In the Fifth Army of the Zhenguo Army and the Fifth Army of the Pinglu Army, there are also several cavalry units, and together, the number of cavalry of the Zhenguo Army and the Pinglu Army has exceeded 20,000.

Although many of the 20,000 cavalry are still only on paper, Li Jing now has territory, food, soldiers, and horses, and all he needs to form this cavalry unit is time.

This reorganization action is very large, and it can even be said that it has directly lowered the combat effectiveness of the Zhenguo Army by a notch, but for Li Jing, this is a must. For the time being, due to the decline in the combat effectiveness of the reorganized army, but after the reorganization is completed, with time, Li Jing believes that this army will be reborn and the old will be renewed!
