Ouyang Shuo said to Jiang Shang: "The strategic position of the Northern Xinjiang Province is extraordinary, and the two county guards should also ask the cabinet to carefully consider it, and be sure to select and transfer two capable talents to take office." ”

"No!"

Jiang Shang knew in his heart that although the king appointed Zhu Liang as the governor of Northern Xinjiang, he would not really let this person govern the northern Xinjiang province, so he naturally needed to install two henchmen to govern the two counties.

This is the art of the king's balance, how can Jiang Shang not understand it.

If Jiang Shangzhen doesn't understand, can't hear the king's voice, can't figure out the king's thoughts, and chooses the wrong official, then he can't stay in the cabinet, so he should automatically resign.

Ouyang Shuo looked at the Minister of Military Affairs Du Ruhui and asked, "What is the opinion of the Privy Council on the military arrangement of the Northern Xinjiang Province?" ”

Before the discussion, Jiang Shang, as the first assistant of the cabinet, had already gotten angry with Du Ruhui and mentioned the matter slightly, just to let Du Ruhui have a psychological preparation, so as not to temporarily cling to the prelude to the emperor.

This is the responsibility of the cabinet, and even if Ouyang Shuo knows about it, he will not interfere with it.

Therefore, Du Ruhui already had a draft and replied: "The meaning of the Privy Council is to refer to the Moroccan Province and the Somali Province to form a separate Northern Xinjiang Corps in the Northern Xinjiang Province. ”

Ouyang Shuo frowned and said: "The regular corps is only 100,000 troops, and it can't hold the northern frontier of Nuoda. ”

"The establishment of the corps is not customized, and Weichen suggested that the Stubborn Stone Corps, the Fourth Army of the Leopard Tao Army and the coastal fleet being formed should all be incorporated into the Northern Xinjiang Corps and reorganized into a large corps to guard the northern land. Of course, the Littoral Fleet was placed under the command of the Northern Xinjiang Corps only in wartime, and daily training was still under the leadership of the Navy Command. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded appreciatively, Du Ruhui's idea of governing the army coincided with the modern army's practice of "fighting in the theater and building the main service", and it seemed that this minister of military affairs usually worked the art of war.

What Great Xia needs is a capable minister like Du Ruhui who knows how to keep learning, enrich himself, and keep pace with the times, rather than those corrupt ministers who stick to tradition and hold the old stubbornness.

It is precisely because of this that Bactria is completely different from all dynasties, this is not only a vigorous dynasty, but also a dynasty that keeps pace with the times and is extremely confident in the sea.

From the beginning of the establishment of the territory to the current Great Xia, Ouyang Shuo has not changed his original intention.

"Inclusiveness and inclusiveness" has spread from the Southwest University Hall to all fields of the Great Xia Dynasty, becoming the spirit and inner characteristics of the dynasty.

Only this trait can truly support this ever-expanding behemoth.

Gradually infiltrating a transcendent trait into the entire dynasty, making progress together with the dynasty, refining himself step by step, refining his quality, and breathing with the dynasty is the secret of Ouyang Shuo's success.

Ouyang Shuo called it "the royal road", a new elaboration of the old royal road.

Without understanding this, it is impossible to truly see the real reason for the rapid rise of the Great Xia Dynasty in the wilderness.

……

"That's it." Ouyang Shuo made a decision again and set a specific reorganization plan, "The original Fourth Army of the Leopard Tao Army was reorganized into the First Army of the Northern Xinjiang Corps; The original Stubborn Stone Corps was reorganized into the Second Army Corps of the Northern Xinjiang Corps. ”

Chen Yucheng, the former commander of the Fourth Army of the Leopard Tao Army, was promoted to the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Corps; Zhang He, the former commander of the First Division of the Fourth Army of the Leopard Tao Army, was promoted to the commander of the First Army of the Northern Xinjiang Corps; Huan Chong, the former commander of the Stubborn Stone Corps, was transferred to the commander of the Second Army Corps of the Northern Xinjiang Corps. ”

Ouyang Shuo also made arrangements for the coastal fleet that was being formed, "Cai Mao, the former chief soldier of the Yashan Fleet, was promoted to the deputy commander of the naval division of the coastal fleet, acting in charge of the military affairs of the coastal fleet. ”

Cai Mao was already in charge of the formation of the coastal fleet, and Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the situation to promote this meritorious admiral of the Great Xia Navy by one level, and it remains to be seen whether Cai Mao can be promoted to the admiral of the Navy Division again in the future.

Du Ruhui wrote them down one by one and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you arrange the Leopard Taojun?" ”

Cao Hong, the former commander of the First Division of the Third Army of the Leopard Tao Army, was promoted to the commander of the Fourth Army of the Leopard Tao Army. The number of troops of the Fourth Army Corps will be uniformly deployed after the southwest battlefield is all over. ”

Zhang He and Cao Hong, the two generals of the Three Kingdoms, were promoted one by one this time.

Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, there are really few famous generals, especially those who are good at commanding operations, but they can't stand the huge number of generals of the Three Kingdoms, which really solves the urgent need of Great Xia.

It is foreseeable that the generals of the Three Kingdoms will definitely occupy a pivotal position in the Great Xia army, and this trend will become more and more obvious as the Great Xia continues to expand its army.

Hearing the king say that the number of troops should be uniformly allocated, the expression on Du Ruhui's face was really not easy. Du Ruhui made a rough calculation, after several rounds of wars, Great Xia is expected to harvest hundreds of thousands of troops at one time.

In the first battle of Dongchuan County, the final number of prisoners of war was about 70,000.

Shudi has now taken in 150,000 prisoners of war, and when Hanzhong County is pacified, I am afraid that there will be another batch of new prisoners of war.

The northern Sichuan province has both a territorial army attached to the territory of Great Xia, and a prisoner of war who attacked the rest of the territory, and the specific amount has not yet been counted, but it is expected to be around 180,000.

Then there is the southern Hunan Province, in addition to the two field legions in Caiyun City, as well as the 110,000 army led by Li Mu, and then counting the attached territorial army and prisoners of war, the total number is probably more than 300,000.

Then there is the army of 60,000 Qiang, which must also be included in the Great Xia army system.

In the whole calculation, I am afraid that more than 700,000 new troops will be added, which is equivalent to two group armies, which is very terrifying. Even after deducting the battle losses of each division, the final number will be very considerable.

The reorganization of this astonishing force has become the core task of the Privy Council at present.

Thinking of this, Du Ruhui was so relaxed.

Of course, the cabinet led by Jiang Shang was also not easy, this time it won the three major provinces at once, not to mention a few officials, only three governors, fifteen county guards, a larger number of prefects, county orders, and other important subordinate officials, the total number of people is about 1,000.

This time alone, I am afraid that I will have to exhaust the reserve officials that Great Xia has managed to reserve.

In addition, the Cabinet is also responsible for the administrative divisions of the three major provinces and the evaluation of officials. Which city to choose as the provincial administrative office, which one is the county, the government, and the county administrative office, and how each prefecture is planned are all a systematic project. In addition, the screening, evaluation, and reappointment of the original officials have caused a lot of work.

At present, the cabinet has been working late into the night with the four major courtyards.

This time to win the three major provinces, although it is not to say that it is a snake swallowing an elephant, and the talent reserve of Daxia is also quite substantial, but after some expansion, Daxia has to stop and digest it well, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Not to mention anything else, just to eliminate the dark line of the [Yanhuang League] in the three major provinces, it will take a lot of work. Needless to say, the Feng family of Nuoda has been operating in Shu for several years, and the internal relationship is intertwined.

Although the Feng family has withdrawn, the influence of the Feng family is still nowhere to go.

Yesterday, the front line reported that Zhang Liao's army encountered resistance in the process of sweeping Badong County, either blatantly or with a honey-bellied sword, and various means were different.

Therefore, it is not an easy thing to straighten out Shudi.

The northern Sichuan province and the southern Hunan province are also not simple, the two major provinces formed a city-state early, whether it is the [Yanhuang League] or the Great Xia, they have carried out infiltration operations for a long time during this period.

At present, the stinger on the surface is removed, but the tumor in the secret is not so easy to remove.

Coupled with the influence of the city-states and the lords, the two provinces are calm on the surface, but there are still many turbulent undercurrents hidden in the secret.

If these hidden dangers are not cut off one by one, the rule of Great Xia in the three major provinces will not be stable.

There is no doubt that this will be an extremely huge system project, which requires not only the efforts of Shanhaiwei in secret, but also the cooperation of the governor, county guard, prefect and other officials appointed by the imperial court, and more importantly, the imperial court must formulate a series of measures to benefit the people and reassure the people.

Only by stabilizing the hearts of the people can the imperial court truly let go of its actions.

During this period, the Great Xia Dynasty will give priority to stability, and it is not appropriate to fight again, and it is necessary to recuperate peacefully for a period of time to complete internal digestion and integration.

It was based on this consideration that Ouyang Shuo did not agree to Han Xin's plan to continue attacking Danyang City.

On October 18, almost at the same time that the army of Handan City withdrew from Zhangwu County, the two field corps of Danyang City that invaded Xiangnan Province also withdrew from Xiangnan Province overnight and returned to the territory.

It is equivalent to saying that Chunshenjun has already surrendered the province of southern Hunan and is unwilling to get involved in it again.

Danyang City's strange behavior naturally attracted Ouyang Shuo's attention, such a decisive withdrawal was not at all like Chun Shenjun's style, there must be some reason for it.

Ouyang Shuo originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the news of Caiyun City's surrender had not yet spread, and secretly ordered Han Xin to lead his troops to cross Baoqing County, take Changsha County directly, and cooperate with Li Mu's army to leave the Danyang City army behind.

Danyang City has a total of four field legions, and once two are lost, Ouyang Shuo is confident that the Leopard Tao Army will continue to move north, sweep Danyang City in one fell swoop, and then cut off the [Yanhuang Alliance].

Who would have thought that before Ouyang Shuo's plan could be implemented, the Danyang City army would withdraw first.

This had to make Ouyang Shuo suspicious.

Ouyang Shuo's first suspicion was that Caiyun Zhinan was ventilating behind his back. No wonder Ouyang Shuo thought so, the surrender of Caiyun City was already confidential, and even if Chun Shenjun was capable, he shouldn't have known about it so quickly.

It's just that Ouyang Shuo doesn't have convincing evidence yet, so it's not good to attack Caiyun Nan immediately, so as not to cause misunderstanding among other Toucheng lords such as Ximen Daguanren, Gu Zhenxiao and others.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to have a bad reputation of "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks".

It's just that the precautions for Caiyun Zhinan are indispensable, Ouyang Shuo is already ready to transfer Caiyun Zhinan to an inconsequential county to take up a post, and then arrange for Shanhaiwei to secretly investigate the matter.

Once the truth is found out, it is the time when Caiyun's South is subdued, and Ouyang Shuo can't allow anyone with two hearts in the dynasty.
