The civil officials of the Yuan Fujun Kingdom and the Yuan Dongcong Kingdom who have defected to Li Bin, have defected to the Jinluo Kingdom after the fall of the country. Li Bin has always believed that these fence-skinned civil officials are available but not reusable, and has never really recruited these civil officials.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but persuade Li Bin: "Lord, you can use your talents to your full extent and use your own things. Civil officials like Xu Kewei and He Futai have some stigma in their morality, but they are indeed talented. If the lord can recruit these civil officials, it will also have great benefits for us to establish ourselves in Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture."

Li Bin still shook his head and said, "I will not recruit the civil servants of the former Fuzhang Kingdom and the former Dongcong Kingdom. Another reason is to avoid suspicion. Since I have no intention of being independent and strive for military power, the court will definitely be quite afraid of me. If I recruit a large number of civil servants of the former Fuzhang Kingdom and the former Dongcong Kingdom, then the emperor and the big men in the court will not be able to sleep or eat!"

After pausing, Li Bin continued, "If we want to gain a foothold in Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture, and Guizhou Prefecture, we have to rely on our army. If we can train the eight outer guards to become the veritable Dayan Imperial Guards, then even if Dayan annexes the Jinluo Kingdom in the future and connects the territory of Dayan, no one can shake our status in Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture."

Xie Boyan, a seriously injured member of the Ministry of War, wrote down several matters he had negotiated with Li Bin in a letter according to Li Bin's request.

Then, five officials from the Ministry of War and Rites were asked to return to Yong'an City with this letter and present the letter to the emperor Zhao Zhe.

Li Bin then focused on two things, one was to form the six outer guards of Guizhou Prefecture and the two outer guards of Xiangzhou Prefecture, and the five government soldiers affiliated with the Zhennan Grand Governor's Office.

Another thing was to relocate his Zhennan Grand Governor's Office from Fuzhen City to the prefecture of Guizhou Prefecture.

The Junzhou Prefecture where Fuzhen City is located will form two outer guards. Although these two outer guards are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan Grand Governor's Office, the military officers of these two outer guards will be appointed by the court.

That's why Li Bin decided to move the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan to Guizhou Prefecture. After all, the military power of the six outer guards that Guizhou Prefecture is about to be formed is controlled by Li Bin.

Of course, it is not easy to move the Grand Governor's Office from Fuzhen City to Guizhou City in Guizhou Prefecture. The large amount of spoils seized from Jinluo City were transported to Fuzhen City, including more than 43 million taels of gold, more than 356 million taels of silver, more than 70 million s of copper coins, more than 70 million pieces of silk cloth, more than 800,000 kilograms of various jewelry and jade, more than 20 million pieces of rare treasures, more than 20 million pieces of antique calligraphy and painting, and a large number of weapons, armor, and more than 20 million stones of grain.

Fortunately, the Yanshui River, which passed through Fuzheng City, was formed by two large tributaries, one of which was the Jinluo River, and the other tributary flowed through Guizhou City, less than fifty miles away from Guizhou City. Because the source of this tributary is at the gathering place of various barbarians, it is called the Manshui River.

In this way, Li Bin could use the navy's ship to transport the gold, silver and treasures and various materials in Fuzhen City directly to the wharf not far from Guizhou City, and then transport the gold, silver and treasures and various materials into Guizhou City with a carriage.

While relocating Zhennan Grand Governor's Office, Li Bin first selected more than 7,000 people from the Five Guards of Fuzhou, Five Guards of Junzhou, Six Guards of Congzhou, Five Guards of Xiangzhou and the formed heavy cavalry guards, and included them in the personal guard camp, which made the troops under Li Bin's command exceed 10,000.

In fact, if it weren't for the reaction of the Dayan court, Li Bin even planned to take all the 100,000 heavy cavalry guards into his own personal guard camp and turn them into his own family soldiers. Anyway, with Li Bin's current wealth, even if he raises hundreds of thousands of family soldiers, he can afford it.

The more than 10,000 people in the personal guard camp were equipped with three Dongman horses, a pair of bright light armor, two wide-blade machetes, a pair of bows and arrows and a shield wrapped in iron. Each Dongman horse was also equipped with a leather vest weighing more than fifty kilograms.

Although the configuration of more than 10,000 cavalry in the personal guard camp is not as good as that of heavy armored cavalry in terms of defense, it is far superior to that of heavy armored cavalry in terms of speed and mobility. Moreover, the defense of the Mingguang armor and the leather vest equipped with war horses is actually not low, and it can still be used as heavy armored cavalry at critical moments.

Meng Tie, Li Ba, Li Er, Li Teng, Fan Hu, Xu Tianhao, Xu Tiantao and Su Wencang are still serving as generals of the pro-guard camp, and Lu Zhishen still assists Li Bin in managing the forty-eight wolf generals.

After Hua Tuo came to Fuzhen City, he improved the Yuanqi pill inherited from the ancestors of the three brothers Tao Siliang, Tao Siyuan and Tao Sipeng, which greatly increased the efficacy of this Yuanqi pill, and it could even be comparable to the secret Yuanqi pill of Tianxing Pavilion. However, the cost of this Yuanqi pill improved by Hua Tuo also increased significantly, and the cost of each pill was almost twenty taels of silver.

With such a high-cost Yuanqi pill, even Li Bin, who is rich and powerful, it is impossible for all his soldiers to take it.

However, the generals around Li Bin can take this powerful Yuanqi pill without restrictions. Now, Tao Siliang, Tao Siyuan, Tao Sipeng, and Fan Hu, Xu Tianhao, Xu Tiantao and Su Wencang have all been promoted to master warriors after taking a large number of Hua Tuo's modified Yuanqi pills.

In the past few months, many calves who stepped on the clouds and calves have grown up, which has restored the number of heavy armored cavalry under Li Bin to 124.

In addition to the four leaders of Sun Xiong, Fang Hu, Han Zhang and Han Rui, the other 120 soldiers of the heavy armored cavalry were all warriors. Li Bin also took good care of these 120 soldiers and gave each of them a lot of Hua Tuo's improved vitality pills every month.

Now, sixteen of the 120 heavy armored cavalry soldiers are warriors of Huajin, and seventy-four are warriors of the hidden martial arts. Although the remaining thirty are still warriors of Mingjin, as long as they continue to take Hua Tuo's improved Yuanqi pill, the realm of the hidden martial arts is just around the corner.

Li Bin was also selected 160 other warriors as his personal bodyguards in the personal guard camp.

Li Bin also trained these 160 personal bodyguards and distributed many Hua Tuo's improved vitality pills every month.

Now among these 160 personal bodyguards, two have become master warriors, twenty have become magic warriors, eighty-six have become dark warriors, and the remaining fifty-two Mingjin warriors are not far from breaking through to the realm of dark warriors.

The two personal guards who became master warriors, named Cao Xun and Wang Cang, were both twenty-six years old. Cao Xun was originally a deputy leader of the Fujun army, and Wang Cang was originally a mate of the Dongcong army.

When Cao Xun and Wang Cang were selected into Li Bin's personal guard camp, they were both secret warriors. The reason why they were promoted to Grandmaster warriors so quickly was that most of the credit was due to the kind of vital energy pill improved by Hua Tuo, their qualifications were also crucial.

Through observations of Cao Xun and Wang Cang, Li Bin found that both of them were of temperament and were loyal to him, so he appointed Cao Xun and Wang Cang to lead other personal guards.

After selecting more than 7,000 soldiers to be taken as family soldiers, Li Bin and the generals selected 280,000 soldiers according to the Fifth Brigade of the Dayan Imperial Army, and formed six outer guards of Guizhou Prefecture and two outer guards of Xiangzhou Prefecture.

The commanders of the six outer guards of Guizhou Prefecture, Li Bin appointed Zhou Yu, Yang Zaixing, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong as deputy commanders, and Zhou Tai, Dong Xi, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, Lin Chong, Shi Su, Yang Hong, Tao Siliang, Tao Siyuan and Tao Sipeng as deputy commanders, and each outer guards was equipped with two deputy commanders.

The commander of the two external guards of Xiangzhou Prefecture was Xue Li and Lu Xun, and Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang and Du Jie were respectively the deputy commanders.

According to Li Bin's plan, these eight outer guards will be composed of three brigades of heavy cavalry and two brigades of heavy infantry.

Each heavy cavalry will be equipped with two Dongman horses, a set of leather armor and a pair of infantry heavy armor, two spears, a waist knife, a bow or arrow or a strong crossbow, ten short spears for throwing, and a shield wrapped in iron. Each Dongman horse is also equipped with an iron vest weighing about 140 kilograms.

Each heavy infantry will be equipped with a set of leather armor and a pair of infantry heavy armor, a spear, a wide-blade machete, a bow or arrow or a crossbow, and a shield wrapped in iron.

In terms of weapons and equipment alone, the eight outer guards under Li Bin's command are much stronger than the other guards of Dayan. After all, the other guards of Dayan's guards do not have so many cavalry, and they are all heavy cavalry.

The only cavalry guard before the Great Yan Imperial Army, the Xiaoqi Guard, was already crippled in the war against Jinluo in the Five Battles. Now there are less than four thousand cavalry left, and each knight has no spare war horse.

After selecting out 280,000 soldiers from the eight outer guards, Li Bin appointed Yan Liang and Wen Chou to form the prefectures of nine counties and seventy-five counties in Guizhou Prefecture.

Pei Yuanqing and Xiong Kuohai were responsible for establishing the prefectures of the seven counties and fifty counties in Xiangzhou Prefecture, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were responsible for establishing the prefectures of the seven counties and fifty counties in Congzhou Prefecture.

Let Han Dang and Chen Wu be responsible for establishing the prefectures of six counties and forty-three counties in Fuzhou Prefecture, and let Gan Ning and Guan Sheng be responsible for establishing the prefectures of six counties and forty-four counties in Jiazhou Prefecture.

Li Bin required that each county and each county town should form at least one battalion of government soldiers, and at least three battalions of government soldiers should be established in each county town.

Moreover, the government soldiers under Li Bin's command are different from those in other places in Dayan. There will be no auxiliary soldiers. All of them are war soldiers. The government soldiers in each battalion are the same as those in the imperial guards. Each battalion has five teams, each team has five gangs, and each gang has five gangs. Each gang has one gang leader and nine soldiers. Including the battalion rate and two deputy battalion rate, the strength of each gang should be 1,318 people.

In the end, Li Bin formed a total of 380 battalions in five prefectures, 35 counties and 270 counties, which made the total strength of the government soldiers under Li Bin exceed 500,000, which was more than 80,000 more than the 420,000 government soldiers that Li Bin planned to form before.

Each of these 380 palace barracks will be equipped with a team of heavy infantry, while the other four teams will be light infantry, but these light infantry will also be equipped with iron armor.

The soldiers in other parts of the Dayan Empire had no military pay. However, after becoming soldiers of the government, they could reduce the taxes of three people from their families and exempt the taxes of ten acres of land from their families.

As an auxiliary soldier of the government army, he can reduce his taxes and exempt his family from his taxes on five acres of land.

However, Li Bin promised that the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan would pay military salaries to the 500,000 soldiers under his command every month, and the monthly salaries were only a little less than those of the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards under Li Bin, and even exceeded the military salaries of other imperial guards in Dayan.

As for the military pay of the imperial guards under Li Bin, the imperial guards were a large portion higher than the imperial guards of the Dayan guards.

In the future, even if the Dayan court paid military salaries to the eight outer guards under Li Bin's command, it would not meet the standard set by Li Bin. At that time, Li Bin will compensate the military salaries of the officers and soldiers under his command according to the current standards.

Li Bin did this and told the officers and soldiers of the eight outer guards and the 500,000 soldiers from the five prefectures that they should be loyal to!

In addition, Li Bin also required 380 palaces and barracks to form a team of 800 men to transport food and grass during the war and assist in guarding the city.

The Zhuangzi team is not included in the organization of the government soldiers. The Zhennan Grand Governor's Office will give each Zhuangzi a subsidy of one or three cents of silver every month. You should know that ordinary soldiers of the Dayan Imperial Army only have two cents of silver for monthly salary.

One or three cents of silver per month is enough to support several ordinary people.

Of course, the money is not for nothing. The strong men of the squad team will also be equipped with leather armor and weapons, and they also have to undergo military training in normal times.

Some of the 380 prefectures and barracks were equipped with about 300,000 strong men, some of them would be selected among the original Five Guards of Fuzhou, Five Guards of Jingzhou, Six Guards of Congzhou, Five Guards of Xiangzhou, and Double Cavalry Guards of Xiangzhou, and some would be recruited from the people of all places.

The navy under Li Bin, which had thousands of ships, was still Jiang Qin as the head coach. Li Bin transferred the three brothers Tao Siliang, Tao Siyuan and Tao Sipeng into the navy as deputy commanders, and increased the navy's troops to 70,000.

Originally, the total strength of the army under Li Bin had exceeded 1.7 million. After the above series of reorganizations, about 700,000 people were left without being incorporated into Li Bin's army.

Then Li Bin picked out more than 270,000 people from the 700,000 people, and used these more than 270,000 people to form two other outer guards of Xiangzhou Prefecture, as well as six outer guards of Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and Jingzhou Prefecture. However, Li Bin did not arrange a deputy to lead officers above the eight outer guards.

As for the remaining more than 400,000 people, they were all dismissed by Li Bin with money. These more than 400,000 people were basically not suitable for military service due to one or another.
