The moment Somalia was wiped out, the world was in a state of stagnation.

On the other side of the Atlantic in the United States, Jack stood at the top of the walls of Liberty City, looking into the distance, speechless for a long time, how he wished that the territory that could have such deterrence and dominance in the world was Liberty City.

"It's coming!"

Jack muttered to himself, a glint of ambition in his eyes.

Liberty City has been successfully promoted to the capital, and it will not be long before the second dynasty of the world will be born here. The founding day of the country is the beginning of the global hegemony of the free city.

The national war will no longer be a one-man show of the Great Xia Dynasty.

…………

In addition to Jack, William, Pushkin, Dilava, Keisuke Honda, Park Seung-gi, Henry......

Across the globe, one by one, ambitious lords were stimulated by the Great Xia Dynasty, and they all accelerated the pace of promotion to duke, and they were unwilling to let Ouyang Shuo sing a one-man show.

They deserve a place on the global stage.

As the five years of Gaia approach, a more magnificent era is quietly coming. The lords who missed this opportunity will miss the opportunity to compete on the global stage and gradually become a supporting role.

Similarly, in front of the Great Xia Dynasty, there will be even more difficult opponents.

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

Gaia, 5 August, Somalia.

Ouyang Shuo led three thousand divine guards to the wooden bone capital.

Yesterday, the finishing touches of the battle for Somalia went so smoothly that the Rock Army was not even used. The six lords were teleported away, leaving the territorial army without a master and surrendering one by one.

And as the Somali king was pulled out of the basement by the dragon's blood warriors, the hesitant Somali Janissaries also surrendered, and the Somali coalition army officially disintegrated.

After the war ended, the turmoil subsided, and the restless mood of the people of the royal city gradually calmed down, and they returned to the city one by one, returning to their original homes, ready to welcome the new lord.

Di Qing ordered the granary to be opened and all the grain that had been collected was distributed to the people. Looking at the mountains of flour in the granary, the last thoughts of the people for the king also vanished.

"It's so vicious! With so much food, we are starving, and their hearts are condemned. ”

The indignant crowd clamored for the king of Somalia to be hanged. Di Qing naturally will not fulfill their wishes, how to deal with the king of Somalia, that can only be decided by the king.

The Somali king's troubles left a lot of effort left for Daxia to appease the Somali people.

…………

Ouyang Shuo arrived with Ouyang Shuo this time, as well as Gao Shun, the director of training of the Privy Council, and Pei Ju, the former county guard of Xingzhou. The reason why it is called Qian is because before leaving, Pei Ju had received a new appointment.

The imperial court decreed the establishment of the province of Somalia, the administrative office of the wooden bones are bound, and the land of four counties is set up. Pei Ju, the county warden of Xingzhou, was transferred to the right as the governor of Somali Province, and Gu Xiuwen, the warden of Friendship City, was transferred to the county guard of Xingzhou.

During the one year and three months that Pei Ju was in charge of Xingzhou County, he firmly guarded the Strait of Malacca for Daxia, greatly promoted the prosperity of Xingzhou County's commerce and trade, and also balanced the relationship with neighboring ASEAN countries well.

The strategic positioning and surrounding environment of Somali Province and Xingzhou County are almost identical. The only difference is that the Somali provinces are larger, face more enemies, and have a more complex situation.

Therefore, Pei Ju's transfer to the governor of Somalia is a matter of course.

Gu Xiuwen is the same, from the earliest Beihai Village, to Beihai City, and then to Friendship City, Gu Xiuwen has always been in charge of Binhai City, and I believe that he can do a good job in Xingzhou County.

Ouyang Shuo has always been very optimistic about this young old minister.

As for Gao Shun's arrival in Mugudushu, he was in charge of the reorganization of the army. Gao Shun trained the army and obtained the law, and since taking office, he has almost reshaped the dynasty reserve and garrison divisions.

Unfortunately, because Friendship City is isolated overseas, Gao Shun has not had time to reshape the city's garrison division.

It was precisely because of this that the Friendship City Garrison Division performed badly when it was attacked by pirates last time, which disappointed Ouyang Shuo and even removed him from the post of division commander.

In the first few military reorganizations of the imperial court, Gao Shun was also one of Du Ruhui's main assistants.

This reorganization of Somali prisoners of war is the first time that Gao Shun has shouldered a heavy burden, showing that Gao Shun, a special general, has won the trust of Ouyang Shuo, the king of Xia.

Ouyang Shuo's move was made for three reasons.

First, the number of Somali prisoners of war is relatively low.

According to Di Qing's preliminary statistics, about 120,000 prisoners of war were captured in Somalia during the First World War. Among them, there were 15,000 local prisoners of war, 65,000 Janissaries of Wangcheng, and 35,000 troops of Wangcheng Territory.

Compared with Morocco's nearly 300,000 soldiers in the First World War, the number is indeed much smaller, mainly related to the vast and sparsely populated area of Somalia, not a tactical problem.

If you really want to calculate it, except for the last two flank raids, there were almost no vicious battles in the first battle of Somalia, so the battle losses of both sides were relatively small and within a controllable range.

The 120,000 prisoners of war were removed from the seriously wounded and unqualified soldiers, and then the Somali Corps, the Atlantic Fleet, and the Dragon's Blood Cavalry were replenished for battle damage, and only about 80,000 could really accept the reorganization.

A little more careful selection is enough to reorganize a field corps.

If the four counties set up in the province of Somalia were to set up garrison divisions according to the practice of the imperial court, there would be no one left, which would be equivalent to fighting a war in vain.

This is the second reason why Ouyang Shuo chose Gao Shun to be in charge of this round of army reorganization.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo put forward a bold idea, that is, in addition to the Somali Corps, the Somali provincial garrison will no longer have local garrison divisions, and the provincial defense will be handed over to the corps to be fully responsible.

The benefits are clear.

The biggest advantage is that the number of troops has been reduced by nearly half, which has greatly reduced the financial burden of the imperial court and local governments, so that the finances will not be dragged down by military spending.

With a population of less than 2 million in Somalia, if four garrison divisions are set up, including the Somali Corps, it would be equivalent to feeding 154,000 troops.

This is too much of a burden for an underdeveloped province.

The only question to be resolved is, can the Somali Corps replace the role of the garrison division? After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo's answer was: "Yes!" ”

Since the day the Somali Corps was established, it has been separated from the Longxiang Army and other group armies from the name, and belongs to a special cluster, which is destined to be deeply rooted in the Somali province.

As a last resort, the imperial court will not easily mobilize the Somali Corps to fight abroad.

This also means that the Somali Corps will be stationed in the province all year round, and will not be able to go on expeditions at any time like the Long Xiang Army. In this case, the role of the garrison division has been greatly weakened, and there is no need for its existence.

There is a standing corps stationed there, and there are also garrison divisions, and the redundancy of personnel is too great, and all the counties in the Somali province only need to prepare reserves.

Regarding Ouyang Shuo's proposal, Du Ruhui and the others immediately nodded in agreement.

And so it was settled.

As for the Moroccan province, which is similar to the province of Somalia, the four garrison divisions that have been established in the province will not be dismantled and will remain in their status quo for the time being.

On the one hand, the Moroccan province has a large population, and the pressure to support the garrison division is not as great as that of the Somali province. Second, neighboring Algeria supported Morocco to form a kingdom in exile, which was also a scourge.

When the Bactria Dynasty and Algilli met each other, the four garrison divisions in the Moroccan province could quickly integrate and form a field corps to fight side by side with the Moroccan corps.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also plans to transform the garrison divisions in other provinces.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to abolish the garrison divisions of each county at once, it was too eager for quick success.

It is best to start with inland counties, which have few potential for war and relatively light defense duties, and can reduce military spending by reducing military expenditures by reducing garrison divisions into garrison brigades.

Garrison divisions are still retained in the frontier areas, ready to reinforce the front line at any time.

How to implement it, Ouyang Shuo handed over to Gao Shun to be responsible, and asked the Training Department to come up with a detailed plan.

…………

The third reason why Ouyang Shuo named Gao Shun to be in charge of this round of army reorganization is that he hopes that the training department led by Gao Shun will play a more prominent role in army reorganization in the future.

It is even said that the Training and Training Department will become the responsible organ for the reorganization of the armed forces in the future.

The reorganized field army will be replaced by the three major groups of the Longxiang Army, the Tiger Ben Army and the Leopard Tao Army, and the elite "King of Soldiers" will be replaced to form the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard.

The first war in Somalia exposed another flaw of the Janissaries.

Previously, the Praetorian Guard had only one infantry corps, trapping the Rock Army in the royal city and not rotating troops. This arrangement of the Dragonblood War Cavalry to assist the Somali Corps in attacking Somalia exposed the lack of flexibility of the pure cavalry corps in the expedition and was very limited in tactical arrangements.

As a result, the Fourth Janissary Regiment will be a mixed infantry corps, which will also be equipped with musketeers and flying squads, making it the first highly integrated mixed corps in the whole army.

As for the choice of the legion commander, Ouyang Shuo has not yet made up his mind.

At present, in the Great Xia Army, there are only a few famous generals who have not yet served as the commander of the legion, such as Cao Chun, Ma Teng, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Di, Wei Zhang, and Zhang He.

Among them, Cao Di and Wei Zhang can not be counted in the alternative sequence because they serve as the deputy commanders of the First Army Corps of the group army where they are located, and they are equivalent to the corps commanders.

Looking at it this way, there are only four generals left in the Three Kingdoms.

The lieutenant generals of the Great Xia Army are star-studded, but the size of the army is also far greater than that of other territories, more than ten times, or even twenty or thirty times that of other territories.

After these rounds of army expansion, the general reserves in the large army are about to be exhausted. In addition, there was nothing to be gained in the battle of Weishui, and after the war, there were no other generals except Hua Mulan, so it was even more stretched.

A field army, 70,000 regular troops, which dynasty and generation are all heavy troops, Ouyang Shuo naturally has to be handed over to capable generals to command.

Especially the commander of the Praetorian Guard, it is even more convincing. If an ordinary general is appointed, not only the Praetorian Guard, but also other soldiers such as the Longxiang Army and the Tiger Ben Army will also have opinions.

Because in the eyes of the Great Xia soldiers, the Praetorian Guard represents the trump card.
