This round of army reorganization involves three field corps, totaling more than 200,000 troops, and it will be a huge military expenditure for the territory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is estimated that if the pension is included, the one-time military expenditure alone will amount to 1.5 million gold coins.

Even more terrifying is the daily military spending.

When the reorganization of the three major army corps is completed, the number of legions of the Shanhai City Field Army will reach thirteen, and the monthly salary expenditure alone will reach 500,000 gold coins.

Coupled with the five fleets of the Nanyang Naval Division, counting the army's monthly consumption of grain, grass and materials, the replenishment and renewal of weapons and equipment, and the war pension, etc., the monthly military expenditure of Shanhai City will exceed one million gold coins.

More than sixty percent of Shanhai City's financial revenue is invested in the army. After deducting other financial expenditures, although Shanhai City only has a monthly tax revenue of more than one million, it still does not have a trace of net fiscal revenue.

Even the launch of some large projects in the territory has to be completed with the help of loans from Sihai Bank.

The one-time expenditure for this expansion of the army was all paid by Ouyang Shuo out of his own pocket, and he took out 1.5 million gold coins from his savings alone. Otherwise, the General Administration of Finance will have to find a loan from Sihai Money Bank again.

As a result, Ouyang Shuo's personal wealth shrank again to 6.5 million gold coins. If you deduct the 500,000 funds previously promised for Research Institute Seven, there will only be 6 million gold coins left.

In Gaia's four-year global auction, Ouyang Shuo needs to prepare at least five million gold coins. This means that Ouyang Shuo now has not many funds at his disposal.

This is Shanhai City, which is not only developed in commerce and trade, but also has the support of pillar industries such as shipbuilding, military industry, textile industry, money village and steel industry.

In other ordinary territories, it has long been dragged down by such huge military spending.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Ouyang Shuo wants to vigorously promote ocean trade, without the support of the huge profits of ocean trade, Shanhai City would not be able to support an army of this size.

If the army is really expanded in this way, the construction of the territory will come to a standstill.

While Shanhai City can expand its army frantically, it can also guide the industrialization of the territory, accelerate the construction of infrastructure in the territory, and improve basic education and basic medical care, which can be regarded as a great miracle of the wilderness.

Therefore, if the territory blindly fights against the outside world, without considering the internal affairs of the territory, consolidating the foundation of the territory, and promoting the development of various industries, it will be completely dragged to death by the army.

This is the case with the reckless use of military force.

************

With the implementation of the army reorganization plan, the major army corps will also begin to move.

Needless to say, the city guard corps will set off for return after the battle, and the army will first rush to Zhenhai City, and then take the warship back to Shanhai City by sea.

In the Lingnan War, Ouyang Shuo did not leave a general reserve force in his hands, which was a very risky choice. If there is any emergency in the west or the north, it will be too late for rescue.

The City Guard Corps guarding outside Shanhai City is a general reserve, which can be teleported to the major provinces through the teleportation array at any time to support the front-line operations.

After the founding of the country, in order to defend the capital, the city guard corps can no longer be mobilized at will. Unless the situation is critical, the City Guard Corps will be permanently stationed outside the city to keep the capital safe at all times.

In the same way, even the Praetorian Guards should not go on expeditions often.

Otherwise, if the capital of Nuoda does not have a strong army to defend it at all times, it is very easy to cause turmoil in the court, unstable people's hearts, and turbulent dark tides.

If you are not careful, the dynasty will be overturned.

This is the case in any dynasty in history, even at the moment of life and death, the emperors of each dynasty will not easily transfer the city guards or the Praetorian Guards from the Beijing Division.

Here's why.

In addition to the City Guard Legion, the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard and the Second Legion of the Longxiang Army will also set off after resting and replenishing their troops. They will travel overland through Zhaoqing County, Wuzhou County, Xunzhou County and Zhen'an County to return to the battlefield in Yunnan.

The whole trip will take a month.

The drawbacks of large-scale troop mobilization have been undoubtedly revealed, and more than half of the time has been spent on the road.

It is precisely in this way that the establishment of a theater of operations is necessary.

In the future, the theater of operations will be responsible for ordinary wars, and it is very rare for a large army to be mobilized across theaters.

As for the Second Army Corps of the Praetorian Guard Army and the Fourth Army Corps of the Longxiang Army, which are still being reorganized, after the reorganization is completed, they will follow the same route and go to the battlefield in Yunnan.

The reorganization time is expected to be about a month.

Therefore, by the time the reorganization of the corps was completed, the generals of the Three Kingdoms who had already arranged their positions had almost finished their training in the lecture hall, and the time was just in time to join the troops.

The four legions of the Longxiang Army, plus the two legions of the Praetorian Guard, the six legions with a total of 420,000 troops, will be all the troops that will conquer the [Yunnan City-State].

The reorganization of the Third Army of the Leopard Tao Army has been completed, and as usual, it will go to the withered fortress.

Eventually, the major legions were dispersed, and the defense of the entire Lingnan Province would be handed back to the Tiger Army. The Lingnan Theater established before is truly worthy of its name.

According to the idea of Sun Bin, commander of the Tiger Army, the theater headquarters will be located in Shaozhou County. The First Army and the Second Army of the Tiger Army will be stationed in Shaozhou County.

The Third Army Corps under the command of Fan Lihua will be stationed in Chaozhou County. Due to the instability of the dragon search point, Ouyang Shuo still felt that it was necessary to station a field army on the border of southern Fujian Province.

As for what he would think when he knew about the dragon search point, it was not in Ouyang Shuo's consideration. The precautions that should be taken, Ouyang Shuo will not be soft at all.

The remaining counties of Lingnan Province were placed under the responsibility of local garrison divisions, and field regiments were not permanently stationed.

The main defense area of the Tiger Ben Army is to defend the [Shonan City-State] in the north. As for the neighbors of the southern Hunan city-state [the northern Sichuan city-state], it will be handed over to the Leopard Taojun to be responsible.

With the relocation of the Long Xiang army, the Leopard Tao army will be responsible for the defense of the entire southern Sichuan province, in fact, it will only need to defend the north. The southern Sichuan province is Lingnan Province to the east and Yunnan Province to the west, so you don't have to worry about it.

The Zhili County to the south is guarded by the City Guard Corps and the Praetorian Guard, so there is no need to worry.

At the same time, it was only natural to set up the South Sichuan Theater.

For the Leopard Tao Army, the most important task in front of them was to recapture Guilin County as soon as possible. At that time, the group army will not have to nest in the withered fortress, and can collectively move to Guilin County.

Guilin County has a vast border, bordering both the northern Sichuan and southern Hunan provinces. Therefore, even if there is only one defensive side, it will not be easy for the Leopard Taojun.

As for how to take Guilin County, the General Military Affairs Administration has already considered it all. According to the time calculation, Han Xin is afraid that he is already acting.

With the end of the Battle of Lingnan, the Long Xiang Army under the command of Bai Qi will move its headquarters to Lingxi City.

At the same time, according to the overall arrangements of the General Military Affairs Administration, the Yunnan Theater will be established ahead of schedule. The Theater Command and the Longxiang Army Headquarters are two sides of the same coin.

Bai Qi was appointed commander of the Yunnan Theater of Operations, referred to as the commander of Yunnan.

Similarly, Sun Bin was appointed as the commander of Lingnan, and Han Xin was appointed as the commander of southern Sichuan. The three gods are each in charge of a war zone, commanding a field army and having jurisdiction over the garrison divisions of each county in the war zone.

At the same time, Huo Qubing was also officially appointed as the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo officially fixed the title of commander of the group army, that is, the post of "commander". From now on, the commander will be the highest position that can be attained by the generals in the Shanhai City army.

The status of the four commanders in the army is second only to Ouyang Shuo, and they are worthy of the name of the Big Four.

In the future, at the right time, Ouyang Shuo plans to set up a higher-level military organization than the General Military Affairs Administration, similar to the Military Commission or the Military Aircraft Department.

This organization will cross the line between the military branches of the army and the naval division, and cross the geographical boundary of the theater, and become the highest military leadership body in Shanhai City, responsible for decision-making and military affairs at the highest level of the territory.

There is no doubt that all the major commanders in the military will be one of the permanent members of this body.

************

After the military affairs meeting, Ouyang Shuo began to get really busy.

As a lord, the supreme lord of Shanhai City, there are some responsibilities that Ouyang Shuo must bear. For example, to receive Allied generals and accept their allegiance.

The demoted generals here not only refer to Feng Yi, who has been appointed as the commander of the corps, but also the five generals who have been confirmed to be promoted to the commander of the division.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also needs to meet with some potential generals recommended by Huo Quzhi and other generals, inspect them, and inquire them one by one, so that he knows them well.

Ouyang Shuo had to meet at least once, so that the generals could know him as the sovereign and leave an impression.

In addition, inspecting the surrendered troops from all walks of life, visiting every prisoner of war camp, sending condolences to the territory, solving their difficulties, and boosting their morale are all things that Ouyang Shuo must do himself.

Otherwise, how could Ouyang Shuo let the reorganized army be completely loyal to him.

Subjectively, none of the generals thought of turning their armies into their own private armies; But objectively, if Ouyang Shuo, the lord, does not remind the sergeant from time to time and show a sense of existence, there will be all kinds of hidden dangers.

Commanding the army for three years, Ouyang Shuo was deeply convinced of this.

In addition to strengthening his control over the army, Ouyang Shuo also needed to travel all over the three counties, inspecting every city, at least the major major cities.

Otherwise, it will not be able to appease the people, let alone the local forces.

The wilderness is not as real as it is, but the situation is still complicated. If Shanhai City wants to completely bring the land of the three counties under its rule in a short period of time, without twists and turns, Ouyang Shuo must rush to the forefront.

The appearance of his sovereign often has a greater symbolic meaning.

Ouyang Shuo's role is not something that can be replaced by county guards and officials.

In this way, Ouyang Shuo will have to stay in Lingnan Province for at least a month. This month will be Ouyang Shuo's busiest month, just the people to meet and the banquets to attend, there are countless people.

At the same time, it is also giving the territory a breathing time.
