At the moment of unifying China, Ouyang Shuo's mood seemed to usher in another sharp change, becoming more distant and calm. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the vast fog of space and see the unknown distance.

Ouyang Shuo's strategic vision can also see further than others without the advantage of rebirth.

When dealing with empire affairs, Ouyang Shuo also became more calm and seemed to have reached a state of "unmoving as a mountain". His entire person's energy and spirit were integrated and restrained.

At this moment, the "Five Emperors' Sutra" he practiced finally broke through to the tenth level, and his body broke through the acquired restrictions again and was promoted to the first level of innateness, ushering in a qualitative leap.

In order to practice to the tenth level, Ouyang Shuo spent two years to regain his body.

It can be imagined that the later the "Five Emperors' Sutra" is, the more difficult it is to practice. The subsequent promotions are calculated in years.

If you encounter a level and cannot realize it, you may even have a card for several years.

Just like this time, it took Ouyang Shuo more than nine months to advance from the ninth level to the tenth level, which is almost equivalent to the sum of the cultivation time of the first eight levels.

If it weren't for this sharp change in mood, you might not have been promoted.

Opportunities are sometimes really elusive.

…………

Taking advantage of Gaia's remaining seven years, in the last half month, the Daxia court quickly decided on the disposal plan for the Mongolian Empire and set the tone for the court to govern the Mongolian prairie.

The imperial court decided to divide the territory of the Mongol Empire into two, and establish the headquarters as the Northern Territory Province; the Ogedei Khanate area, that is, the former Western Turkic area, was established as the Western Territory Province.

The two major provinces cover a very wide area, especially the Beiyuan province, which spans the east and west, has grasslands, highlands, and Gobi deserts. Whether it is the vertical distance or the horizontal distance, it is the largest area of ​​the local province.

The provinces in Western Xinjiang are also not inferior, with Gobi, mountains and basins in their territory.

Ouyang Shuo unexpectedly identified the candidate for the governor of Beiyuan Province, Yelu Chucai, the former prime minister of the Mongolian Empire and one of the top ten famous prime ministers in China.

Ouyang Shuo did this after careful consideration.

One thing is, Yelu Chucai was not a Mongolian and had no blood feud towards Daxia. During Genghis Khan's coma, it was Yelu Chucai who came forward to stabilize the overall situation, which did not completely fall into chaos.

For Yelu Chucai, there was no other choice except to be loyal to the empire.

Secondly, Yelu Chucai assisted Khan in governing Mongolia for a long time, was experienced and had a very high prestige among the Mongolians. Yelu Chucai served as the governor of Beiyuan, which was very helpful for stabilizing the hearts of the people in Beiyuan.

Based on this, Ouyang Shuo appointed this person as the governor of Beiyuan.

The candidate for the governor of the Western Xinjiang province was designated as Jing Jian, the governor of Shaowu County, southern Fujian Province. Jing Jian was also an old minister of the imperial court and once served as the chief inspector. Because he avoided Wei Yang, he was released from the governor of Shaowu County.

This time, he was promoted to the Governor of Western Xinjiang, which is expected to belong to everyone.

Whether it is the Beiyuan province or the Xijiang province, such a province that is both a border province, a vast territory and a complex ethnic composition, the governor must choose a powerful man.

Yelu Chucai and Jing Jian undoubtedly meet this characteristic.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of establishing two major provinces, the court also made an adjustment to the jurisdiction of the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate to adapt to the imperial strategy, making the two major protected areas more veritable.

Recently, the imperial court decided to separate the Northern Xinjiang Province from the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate and re-place it with the imperial court. At the same time, the Northern Yuan Province was assigned to the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate.

In this way, the Northern Frontier Protectorate will go to the two major provinces of Xiabeiyuan and Liao and Jin, and integrate the northern border of the empire. The Protectorate's Prefecture will also be moved from Kyoto to Harahelin in order to better guard the northern border.

This is a brand new challenge for the siege lion of the Northern Xinjiang Protector.

Whether the empire can defend the northern border and govern the northern border is a test for Ouyang Shuo for siege lions. If you have good governance, the siege lions can be taken to the next level in the future. If the governance is not good, don’t blame Ouyang Shuo for not caring about his old love.

The Western Xinjiang Protectorate was incorporated into the newly established Western Xinjiang Province on the basis of Xikang Province and Xihai Province, and integrated the western border of the empire.

This means that the burden on the Western Xinjiang Protectorate is heavier.

The three major provinces under the Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang correspond to the Qiang, Tubo and Mongolians. They also have special geographical locations and lagging development. It is difficult to manage them well.

…………

After dealing with the Mongolian Empire, what was placed before Ouyang Shuo was a bigger problem, which was how to place 1.2 million "consumption army" and nearly 600,000 Mongolian cavalry prisoners of war.

The easiest way is of course to lay off all the measures.

But this is also the stupidest and most expensive method, and it cannot be used to the table at all.

Especially the 600,000 Mongolian cavalry, although surrendered, they are still unruly. If they are let go home, they will definitely become a major concern for the empire to govern the northern border in the future.

Therefore, no matter what, we must find a way to restrain it to remove its sharpness.

For this matter, Ouyang Shuo, Zizheng Pavilion, the Privy Council and the Military Affairs Office repeatedly planned, starting from the overall strategic situation of the empire and combining the needs of regional development, he finally decided on a combination plan.

First, make up for the South American Corps.

The South American Corps led by Wolf Warriors currently have only two legions. Ouyang Shuo decided to select elite troops from the surviving "consumption army" and supplement the South American Corps.

It is natural that the South American Corps was promoted to the South American Army, and the Wolf Warriors were still led by the army.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the strength of the South American army, Ouyang Shuo also specially transferred the Tang Dynasty general Yuchi Jingde to the South American army and took office as the commander of the Third Legion.

Second, form the South Runner-up.

Nan Yajun is a newly established army, and it is also the first new army added after the empire launched a disarmament plan. From the name, we can see that Nan Yajun is preparing for the empire's future battle against Tianzhu.

If nothing unexpected happens, the empire will not expand its army for a long time in the future.

The commander of the Nan Yajun was promoted to the position of the fourth army of the Imperial Guards, a peerless general, and the general of the Wuwei. Given that the position of commander of the group army is becoming increasingly scarce, this is also considered to be Ouyang Shuo's compensation for the veteran general of the Imperial Guards.

The position of commander of the legion that Eilai was vacant was promoted to Shan Zhu, the commander of the Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Division directly under the Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Division. In this round of disarmament, the Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Division will no longer retain the independent organization of the Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Division directly under the Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Division.

Shanzhu was "laid off" and was promoted to commander of the army, completing a replacement within the Imperial Guard.

In addition, Cheng Yaojin, a powerful general of the Tang Dynasty, was also transferred to the South Runner-up and served as the commander of the First Legion.

Third, form three major construction corps.

In the future, if the empire wants to attack the Romanov dynasty in the north, it must be based in the Northern Province. If it wants to attack the Persian Empire in the west, it must be based in the Western Province.

By the same token, if you want to conquer the southwest of India, you must base yourself in Xikang Province.

If these three frontier provinces cannot provide strong food and grass material support to the army alone, and by transporting food and grass from the Central Plains for a long distance, it is basically impossible to win.

If you really want to start a war, you may be humiliated by the lack of food and supplies.

If you are determined to transport food and grass from the Central Plains, then a great war may drag down the empire.

This is why it is more important to increase the development of the three major provinces and to build up border guards on a large scale, which is more important than forming any army, and is also the prerequisite for the empire to expand in Asia in the future.

Without food and grass support, no matter how many troops stationed on the border are futile.

Or to put it this way, until the grain output of the three major provinces cannot reach a new level, the empire cannot station too large troops on the frontier.

Not to mention anything else, just the daily logistics support of the army, it would not be possible. In that case, let alone taking the initiative to attack other dynasties, it would be good to be able to defend the frontier.

It seems urgent to settle and guard the border.

Based on such a strategic judgment, the three major construction corpses, Beiyuan, Xijiang and Xikang came into being.

China has always had a tradition of garrisoning and guarding the border, especially in the Western Regions. It started with the Western Han Dynasty, and went through the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.

It has been passed down until modern society, and the tradition of reclamation and guarding the border has not been cut off.

It was inspired by this that Ouyang Shuo decided to set up three major construction corps in one go. While garrisoning and guarding the border, he accumulated food, grass and supplies to lay a material foundation for the expansion of the empire.

After preliminary calculations by the Privy Council, after replenishing the South American army, forming the South Runner-up, and then laying down some wounded personnel, there are still 1.2 million soldiers waiting to be resettled.

In this way, each of the three major construction corpses was blinded by 400,000 people, not only beyond the ordinary corps organization, but also beyond the reach of the army.

This is not only the case. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, after the conditions were ripe, the court also allowed the soldiers' families to move to the military farm area and participate in production and construction together.

In this way, the size of the Construction Corps will at least double.

This is also necessary. With the current technical level of the empire, such a scale is not an exaggeration. If there is a chance in the future, Ouyang Shuo will further expand the scale of the construction corps.

Only in this way can the three major border provinces be revitalized.

Referring to the ancient system, the Construction Corps will be assigned to the dual leadership of the imperial court and the Protectorate. In wartime, the Construction Corps will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of the war zone. When necessary, the War Zone can be summoned to the front line to fight.

In this way, the candidates for the commanders of the three major construction corpses are of great importance and have rigid requirements.

First of all, if this person is from a military background, otherwise he will not be able to subdue such a group of rebellious soldiers; secondly, this person must understand some internal affairs and have a certain management ability.

After all, the main task of the construction corps is to settle down rather than fight.

With such screening, there are very few people to choose from.

Ouyang Shuo first identified the most important of the three major construction corpses and the commander of the Western Xinjiang Construction Corps, the commander of the Western Xinjiang Construction Corps. This person is no one else, but a surrendered general in the Zhou Dynasty and the former commander of the Danyang Army.

Historically, Tian Dan was appointed as the prime minister and naturally took on this important task.

Then, Ouyang Shuo encircled the commander of the Third Legion of Dingcheng Guards and veteran general Ma Teng, and served as the commander of the Beiyuan Construction Corps.

Historically, Ma Teng managed Xiliang to protect the country and the people, and thought he could take on this important task.

The last commander of the Xikang Construction Corps, Ouyang Shuo, was the commander of the Second Flying Bear Army, and was also a veteran, and Pei Renji, who was both civil and military.

Compared with young generals, the advantages of veterans in this regard are very obvious.

Being mature and persevering is not just a saying.

At this point, the resettlement of the 1.8 million army came to an end.
Chapter completed!
