The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 620 The Seventh War Zone (Third Change)

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow fell.

On this day, Song Xiance, Prime Minister of Dashun Kingdom, Niu Jinxing, Prime Minister of You and others led their family members to launch a coup, stormed into the palace, and killed the two sons of Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun Kingdom.

Li Zicheng died in a fierce battle with the rebellious soldiers with one sword.

Song Xiance randomly corrected the imperial edict and ordered all the defenders of the eighteen gates of the capital of Dashun Kingdom to lay down their weapons and surrender to the officers and soldiers.

Li Zicheng's confidant and veteran general Mao Shisuo and others refused to accept it. They suspected the imperial edict and raised troops to resist, causing riots.

After a night of fighting, Mao Shisuo and other thirteen generals were finally killed, and thousands of soldiers under his command were slaughtered.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, which was a small year in the lunar calendar, Song Xiance personally led civil and military officials to open the gate of the city, and went out of the city to surrender to the Ming army commander Di Qing and Baishan, and Dashun Kingdom was destroyed.

After Di Qing led the army into the city and took over the city defense, he immediately issued a notice to stabilize the people and stabilize the order.

On the second day, Di Qing ordered the collection of the remains of Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun Kingdom, and his son, and reported it to Jiang Chuan, the regent of the imperial court, at a speedy horse of [-] miles.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the messenger arrived in the capital to announce the death of Li Zicheng and the demise of the Dashun Kingdom.

The next day, the regent Jiang Chuan ordered Li Zicheng to be buried with royal rites, and the coffins of his father and son were transported to his hometown of Mizhi County in northern Shaanxi for burial.

At the same time, Shanzhou was ordered to restore the imperial regulations, set up the Shaanxi Chief Envoy, Baishan, the general who conquered the west, temporarily acted as the Chief Envoy, and established Yan'an Mansion, Xi'an Mansion, Hanzhong Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Pingliang Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Yuzhou , Shangzhou and other six prefectures and three prefectures have dozens of counties.

The magistrates of the prefectures are the chief officials such as the magistrates, and the assistant officials are selected by the official department of the imperial court.The magistrates of each county can be temporarily appointed by the chief envoy Bai Shan at his discretion.

After the magistrates of each prefecture take office, if the magistrates of each county pass the assessment, they can continue to serve.If it is inappropriate, the prefect will report to the chief envoy for approval before selecting and appointing.

And ordered to exempt the whole province of Shaanxi from taxes for three years, with the heart of peace and prosperity.At the same time, Yuzhou, Jinzhou and other neighboring provinces were ordered to mobilize and raise food and grass to be transported to Shaanxi to relieve the people, so as not to starve to death.

In addition, Baishan, the chief minister of Shaanxi, arranged for the army to reclaim the barren land due to the war by the method of garrisoning fields, and encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland.Any unclaimed land can be reclaimed.After reclamation and filing with the government, it becomes a private field and can enjoy the benefits of three-year tax exemption.

All captives of the Dashun Army who surrendered, if they intend to join the army, can join the army if they pass the inspection. After retraining, they can join the National Guard or National Defense Force according to the results.

Those who do not want to join the army or those who fail the inspection will be incorporated into civilian households and re-established as civilians, reclaiming wasteland, and self-renewing.

This series of orders made the panic and uneasiness caused by the demise of Dashun Kingdom in Shanzhou disappear quickly, people's hearts gradually settled down, and the people began to respect the court again.

General Di Qing led an army of 50 into Hanzhong Mansion. On the one hand, he was training troops to garrison the fields, and on the other hand, he was preparing for the attack on Shuzhou in the coming spring.

At the same time, Jiang Chuan issued an order to completely reorganize the National Defense Forces and the National Guard.

A total of seven theaters were established across the country: Liaodong Theater, Gyeonggi Theater, Western Theater, and Jiangnan Theater.Southwest theater.Central Plains Theater, Southeast Theater.

It was originally planned according to the ten major theaters, but later, considering the lack of generals and the shortage of funds, it was finally changed to seven major theaters.

Ran Wu, Marshal of the Liaodong Theater, Shanjia, Marshal of the Gyeonggi Theater; Baishan, Marshal of the Western Theater; Di Qing, Marshal of the Southwest Theater; Yue Pengju, Marshal of the Jiangnan Theater.Chu Yunfei, Marshal of the Central Plains Theater; Bai Mu, Marshal of the Southeast Theater.

The First Army, the Second Army, and the No.40 Seventh Army of the National Defense Forces were expanded, each army expanded to 3 people, and the source of supplementary soldiers was recruited and trained from the garrison.

At the same time, each army is responsible for forming and training the National Guard of ten divisions, and each National Guard division has 1 troops.

Among them, the expanded First Army and the ten National Guard divisions formed by it belong to the Southeast Theater, all of which are led by Marshal Bai Mu of the Southeast Theater and guard the southeast.The designations of these ten divisions are the first division to the tenth division.

The expanded Second Army and the ten National Guard divisions it formed and trained belonged to the Jiangnan Theater, and was led by Marshal Yue Pengju of the Jiangnan Theater to guard the Jiangnan area.The designations of these ten divisions are No.11 Division to No.20 Division.

The expanded No.40 Seventh Army and the ten National Guard divisions it formed and trained belonged to the Central Plains Theater, led by the Central Plains Theater Marshal Chu Yunfei, and guarded the Central Plains area.The designations of these ten divisions are No.20 Division to No.30 Division.

The former Zhendong General Ran Wu's army was reorganized into five national defense armies, each with 3 troops.Among them was a cavalry corps.The designations are the Third Army to the Seventh Army of the National Defense Army, of which the Seventh Army is the whole cavalry army.

At the same time, it is responsible for the formation and training of 1 National Guard divisions, each with 30 people.The designations are from the first division of the National Guard No.[-] to the division.

The above five armies and [-] National Guard divisions are all affiliated to the Liaodong Theater, led by Marshal Ran Wu of the Liaodong Theater, guarding the Liaodong area, deterring the three kingdoms of Korea and the Mongolian ministries.

The No.30 Eighth Army stationed in the Gyeonggi area was expanded into a group army of 10 people, with three infantry divisions, an artillery brigade, and a cavalry brigade under its jurisdiction.At the same time, it is responsible for the formation and training of fifteen National Guard divisions, each with 1 people.

The designations range from the first division of the National Guard to the fifth division of No.60, all of which are assigned to the Gyeonggi theater, led by Marshal Shanjia of the Gyeonggi theater, guarding Gyeonggi and defending the capital.

In the western theater, three National Defense Army armies were reorganized, each with about 3 troops, and the designations were the Eighth Army, Ninth Army, and Tenth Army of the National Defense Army.

And set up and train 60 National Guard divisions, numbered from No.80 Sixth Division to No.1 Fifth Division, each with [-] people, all led by Marshal Bai Shan of the Western Theater Command, guarding Shanxi.

The Southwest Theater was reorganized into four armies, each with 3 troops, designated No.11 Army, No.12 Army, No.13 Army, and No.14 Army.

And responsible for the formation and training of 1 National Guard divisions, each with 80 people, numbered No. [-] Sixth Division to No. [-]th Division.

According to the plan, after the formation is completed, the total strength of the National Defense Forces will be about 55, and there will be 110 national guard divisions as local garrison forces. According to the standard of 1 people per division, it will be 1105 million people.

The two forces combined totaled 170 million men.

170 million troops is indeed not too much for the huge Zhongzhou Continent.However, Jiang Chuan planned to take the route of elite soldiers. If everyone was accepted, it would not be too difficult to form an army of more than 300 million.

But it's hard to say how many battle-ready soldiers there are.

Li Zicheng is the best negative example. In his heyday, he could sweep the world with millions of people.But in the end?

According to Jiang Chuan's division of tasks, the National Defense Forces are responsible for guarding various places, and their main responsibilities are to resist the invasion of foreign enemies and implement external expansion.

As a local garrison, the National Guard's main duty is to maintain local order and stability.Generally, there are bandits and bandits, and when the government needs to encircle and suppress them, it is the responsibility of the National Guard.

Of course, if there is a war, the National Guard will serve as a second-line force to assist and cooperate with the National Defense Forces to fight against the enemy.

The above are the army, and the navy, the original navy was upgraded to the navy, and two major fleets were formed, namely the Eastern Ocean Fleet and the Western Ocean Fleet.Each fleet has three squadrons under its jurisdiction.

Deng Shichang, the original admiral of the navy, was promoted to admiral of the navy and still commanded the navy.

After the establishment of the seven war zones and the navy, the headquarters of the imperial court should also be established accordingly.

At the center of the imperial court, Jiang Chuan set up the Supreme Commander's Office and led the Supreme Commander himself.

The Supreme Commander's Office under the jurisdiction of the General Staff.

The General Staff Department has jurisdiction over the General Office, the Staff Office, the Army and Navy Divisions, the Logistics Division, the National Defense Mobilization Division, the Military Intelligence Division, and the Xuanjing Division.

The other divisions can understand their responsibilities just as the name suggests, but the Xuanjing division is special.

The Department of Xuanjing, which means the bright mirror hanging high, is the military picket, supervision, review, negotiation, and execution agency established by Jiangchuan. A dharma sword hanging high over the heads of all soldiers.

The highest chief of the General Staff Department is the Metropolitan Governor, who was held by the former Jiangnan Governor Hu Zongxian.

The original functions of the Black Ice Station were merged into the Military Intelligence Department of the General Staff.In addition to setting up chiefs, each division is composed of many staff officers and book office personnel.

It's winter now, and except for the unrest in Shuzhou, other places are basically relatively calm, which is the right time to reorganize the army and conduct training.

Through reorganization, the complete system of the entire army has basically been established from top to bottom, the skeleton is basically complete, and the rest is small-scale adjustments and supplements.
