However, on the way to Jingzhou, the important officials of Qiu Huan, who were heading to Jingzhou, received another shocking news. For a moment, they were startled on the ship and were full of discussion.

"He led the army to establish the Taiping Army Governor's Office in Xiangzhou? Then he really became the Grand Governor of Zhou... but he didn't know where Jiangdong Erqiao should be..."

"This is the Grand Commander, compared to the Xingtai Shangshu Province during the Northern Dynasties and the marching chief who founded the old dynasty...."

"Why is that the conquest and attack are self-determination? The title of general in commanding the military affairs of China and abroad... What is the difference between the current Marshal's Office of the World's Military and Horses?"

"But no matter what, this is also a great opportunity and future for us..."

"I'm afraid that this news will spread, and those who are still waiting and watching in the local area will have another wave of going to apply for results."

"It's a pity that I missed the original reason and opportunity. Even if they think about it now, the Taiping Army may not be willing to store it easily..."

Xie Wen, the school official who was also asking for the order to go to Xiangyang, was also glading his choice while looking at the ship behind him, a cabin guarded by several strong female soldiers.

——I am the dividing line—

However, for Zhou Huaian, the so-called Grand Commander's Office is to further upgrade and expand the original function of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, and to completely extend it to the new control areas of Hunan, Jingnan, Shannan, Jiangxi and other places corresponding to the road.

Then, the military-controlled state and large-scale management areas established in special periods will be gradually merged and restored into two-level situations where the garrisons - collective farms (key areas) and (peripheral areas) and towns - rural areas will continue to coexist.

This requires a large number of grassroots affairs personnel who master basic numerology and writing, as well as experienced officials to fill it in it. This is also a disguised reward and upward space for those outside the Lingnan who can persist in serving the Taiping Army.

As long as you do not make obvious mistakes or major mistakes, it is normal to be pushed one or two levels to use during the external adjustment process; if there are excellent performance or specific matters, it is not impossible to jump to two or three levels to stand alone at the level.

Then the vacant position is given to those junior students who are still waiting for internships in the training center to fill it; this is also a disguised balance and differentiation to alleviate the potential drawbacks of the military's excessive participation in local affairs, thus forming corresponding interests.

After all, walking on both legs of the army and local government affairs, coupled with a rational brain center to supervise and command everything, is the basic kingdom for a healthy regime to last for a long time.

It has eight major armies under its jurisdiction (the sixth of them have been completed), and six major garrison defense areas, with ninety-three war fronts and garrison battalions, totaling 110,000 troops.

The first military commander is the General of the Central Army, the Deputy is the Left and Right, and the Second is the General of the Lang; the commander is divided into three left and right middle wings and a direct-organized capital (battalion), and each wing is the Chief and Deputy Lang generals lead several battalions.

The organization of Zhanfeng Battalion and the garrison battalion is roughly the same, both are battalion, regiment (290+20), brigade (135+10), team (40+5), and fire (9+1). They are only the battalion of the third regiment and one team (1100 members) of the garrison battalion (960 members) of the two regiments and one brigade.

The chief officials are all called Duwei, but the former is the Zhechong Duwei, and the latter is the Guoyi Duwei, who has the second highest command sequence. This way, a military order full of personnel is between 12,000 and 13,500.

Among them, the higher the number, the better the equipment is, the higher the number, the higher the proportion of old soldiers in the army, and the proportion of the Battle Front Battalion and the garrison battalion is inversely proportional. However, under normal circumstances, these eight major military orders are only the corresponding military management organization; and are stationed in the corresponding area.

Daily training and logistics management, discipline and inspection, and personnel transfer are also full-time candidates sent by the Governor's Office to assist the military chief in management and allocation. In addition, there are secret departments (Secret Service Committee) to prevent spies from being investigated and investigated and the taxi committee from the lower level, as a secret insurance measure.

Therefore, as the main combat force, only after receiving the orders with complete procedures, can the corresponding military order be transferred to a specific wartime command sequence on the spot, or combine it with other military orders to form a new offensive and defensive command sequence, and arrange the corresponding staff of the staff.

Therefore, the troops composed of battalions are the benchmark organization during combat. Each battalion has a fire-blocking team and a pack animal team. They are also equipped with heavy equipment and firearms above the battalion to strengthen the corresponding independent attack ability.

Usually, the First Army is also the guard force in the key area where the Governor's Office is located; the exclusive military name is "Chang Cong". The organization scale is also the first among the various armies. Currently, it is on the Xiangzhou front line to conduct follow-up military operations against the states in Shannan.

The Second Army is a cavalry unit with various cavalry and cavalry as its core, with its exclusive military name "Chifei"; because the source of war horses is limited, it is also the smallest and most streamlined place for organization. Currently, it is arranged to be stationed at the junction of Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, where the water and grass are relatively abundant, for training.

The Fifth Army was composed of naval ships and the gang and landing combat soldiers. The exclusive military name was "Fubo". It is a sequence with the most equipment organization and the scattered garrisons. Jingzhou is the main assembly site.

The other third, fourth and sixth armies are standard mixed forces, and there is no military twelfth. They are mules and horses based on traditional infantry equipped with sword platoons, bows, crossbows, and long spears, and are equipped with several different cavalry and infantry battalions to enhance mobility, combat range and durability.

Currently, it is mainly arranged to be stationed in second-tier cities, relatively wealthy, prosperous Tanzhou, Yuezhou and Hongzhou, so as to obtain local materials for supply and maintenance, and at the same time, the equipment will be updated batch by batch.

As for only a few actual battalions, the other seventh and eighth armies, which are empty, are more likely to serve as managing local supplementary battalions and preparing for military training; only when needed will the battalions with only a small number of old soldiers and officers be filled.

Among them, the Eighth Army was stationed in Canton and the Seventh Army was stationed in Annan. They were equipped with corresponding boats as transportation tools, and they also served as tasks to protect sea and canal navigation.

In addition, there are professional direct-operated, teaching brigades, model teams, combat engineering teams, third teams, etc., and several special and technical units ranging from hundreds to thousands of scales, which are directly under the Governor's Office.

The establishment of Yanbian is slightly more self-occupied in the organization of the defense zones under its jurisdiction, basically according to the size and order of the defense zone, with several simplified garrisons and battalions of varying sizes, plus some direct special units of boats and boats and horses;

The corresponding military ranks are both Lang generals, and they often serve as the local state master; in order to coordinate and allocate the manpower and material resources of local institutions in a timely manner, and make corresponding preparations or emergency responses.

Although the territory under the Taiping Army is wide, the territory is also filled with large areas of wilderness and wild lands, and the mountains and forests where mountains and barbarians live; that is, several larger plains are considered areas with a relatively important rule.

Among them, the Pearl River Basin Delta, which is bounded by the five ridges and has been connected by waterways, the Chaoshan Plain and the Honghe River impact plains, and the Guilin Basin are considered relatively stable and stable output areas.

The specific development degree of Hunan Plain, Jianghan Plain, Dongting Lake Basin, and the western part of the southern Jiangsu Plain, which have been occupied in the ridge is not as high as that of later generations. It can be said that there are water, lakes, and rivers everywhere, and the main population and land are still close to cities with large concentrations.

Moreover, there are years of flooding problems, coupled with the need to go through wars and subsequent pacification and clear out local resistance; it takes a period of time to continue to invest, perhaps to improve control and influence to another level; and even achieve a level of equal output and consumption, or even surplus.

Therefore, most of the current defense areas are distributed along the Yangtze River and Han River coasts, and are temporarily equipped with Ezhou, Xiangzhou, Runzhou, Xuanzhou, Guizhou and Jiaozhou. As for the original Jingzhou, it became the direct jurisdiction where the Grand Governor's Office is located.

At the same time, at the lower level of the prefecture, city and county, there are correspondingly smaller garrison regiments and semi-final patrol teams in the municipalities; the equipment mainly comes from eliminated variegated equipment, which has a lower maintenance cost and subordinate local jurisdiction, forming a suppression of public security maintenance at the middle and lower grassroots levels and a low-intensity conflict and riots.

In addition, there are a certain number of militarized management and regular operations, specifically used to open up construction in specific areas (engineering construction without fixed residence) and production forces (armed reclamation regiments).

In this way, under the banner of the Taiping Army Grand Governor's Office, the military management and combat readiness system of three lines and one auxiliary was initially formed. It was almost the same as supplying nearly 130,000 full-time troops with a capacity of two million strong labor.

If there is no subsidy and adjustments from other sources, including marine trade income and collective production organizational bonuses, including new agricultural technologies, and other sources, even in this era, it will be a heavy burden on the military and civilian ratio.

Especially the cost of supporting cavalry is often several times higher than that of ordinary infantrymen; in the south, the cost is even higher. Of course, most of them are only planned at present, and they can only be fully expanded after the corresponding personnel and resources are gradually in place.

However, at least it can give most people a direction of hope and hope. It will be much more rewarding than just having a close call to yourself or something like having fun.

During this period, other news was constantly being fed back from local sources; for example, the three prefectures in Xiangxi, which were the source of unrest and invasion this time.

The first thing that was pacified was the territory of Langzhou. Because Lei Man came out in full swing and was defeated and died by the lakeside; with the assistance of the Taiping Navy and the new vehicles and ships, Su Wuming's troops quickly occupied most of the peaceful Langzhou;

It can be said that except for the Wuling Mountains on the edge, there is no other way to hinder the existence of the Taiping Army on the plains in the west of Dongting Lake. We will wait for the subsequent three detachments to settle in and clean up village by village.

Then, the side troops led by Qu Chengyu encountered Duan Yanmo, deputy envoy of Jingnan who had occupied the prefecture city and his Taining Army under him. They fought fiercely for several formations and each had their own victory or defeat;

In addition, Xiang Zhu, the leader of the Tuman, was able to lead the remaining troops to retreat into the mountainous areas of the upper reaches of the Lishui River, and there were also local rich families who took the opportunity to rebel, making a mess of porridge in the local area. Therefore, Qu Chengyu is currently stationed in Anyang County, waiting for the next step of supplement and support.

Then, since the governor Zhou Yue was attacked by Min Xu in front of the formation, Shaozhou, which has been constantly resisting; under Zhao Yingong, who actively led the attack with the city of the state, he was killed with the heads of people; it was almost time to continue to evaluate the situation.

Without the instigation and support from the three prefectures of Xiangxi, the rebellion of water thieves and mountain bandits along the Xiang River was greatly calmed down and calmed down; but in order to solve the problems for a long time once and for all, subsequent piecemeal military operations continued.

In the process of clearing the rioters and bandits in Hunan, the characteristic mountain camps formed by local mountaineers and miners from Lianzhou and Chenzhou, especially Guiyang Prison, played an unexpectedly huge role.

They are very hardworking and adapted to the climbing and trekking between the dense forests of the mountains. With only a small amount of supplies and corresponding excellent equipment, they can fight against bandits who are hiding in the mountains and forests or occupying the most dangerous ones, or chase them all over the ground.

Even those mountain villages and villages suspected of hiding, taking in and sheltering related bandits were not spared much; under the raids and attacks of these brave and unfair mountain soldiers, they only suffered more than a thousand casualties.

The villages and settlements within dozens of miles of the inland river were either obediently migrated to the management area at the foot of the mountain to be renovated; or they were broken into white land after the village was burned to capture and injected into newly built mines, stone pits, and forest farms thought it was arduous to work.

In this way, even if there are some fish that have escaped the net inland, and if the harbor points and supplies are cut off, it is not enough to pose a decent threat to the new order dominated by the Taiping Army.

However, as the war progressed, new problems were born. In order to control these newly occupied areas, a large number of manpower was also needed; especially grassroots service personnel were filled.

After all, it is relatively simple to judge and search for the foundations of the old forces, but it is another matter to rebuild order and maintain subsequent dominance according to the needs of the Taiping Army.

Even though Zhou Huaian has opened more rapid training classes in key cities such as Xiangyang, Tanzhou, etc., it can only ensure emergency needs in these key areas at present, and there is no need to take care of the new marginal areas.
