Chapter 1276 Eight Great War Zones
(ps: Add one update to the leader who gave the previous reward...)
On December 25th, on the eve of New Year's Day, the Great Xia Army ushered in its biggest adjustment.
The imperial order was to establish the Jingji War Zone, the Xiaba Shenwu Guard, the palace female guard, the Jinwu Guard, the Imperial Guard, the Yulin Army, the City Guard, the Royal Fleet and the Southern Xinjiang Navy were responsible for guarding the entire Jingji area.
Specifically, the Shenwu Guard is Ouyang Shuo’s personal guard, the female guard of the palace is responsible for guarding the inner palace, the Jinwu Guard is responsible for guarding the imperial treasury, and the Imperial Guard is responsible for guarding the capital.
Ouyang Shuo's personal guards were naturally also under the name of Shenwu Guards.
The Yulin Army is responsible for protecting the five major provinces of Shu, northern Sichuan, southern Hunan, Jiangchuan and southern Fujian. Each province is stationed in one legion, and the army headquarters is located in Quanzhou.
In addition, Yizhou County, which is across the sea from the southern Fujian Province, was also included in the Yulin Military Defense Zone this time.
The five major provinces form an outer defense line across the east and west, protecting the outer area of the Gyeonggi area.
The city guards are responsible for guarding the three major provinces of Beihai City, Mulan Fortress, Yunnan, southern Sichuan and Lingnan. The army headquarters is located in Tianjing City, the capital of the southern Sichuan province.
The three major provinces form a central circle defense line to protect the core area of the capital.
The Royal Fleet was responsible for guarding the Beibu Gulf and guarding the capital's maritime gate. Its headquarters was in Beihai City; the Southern Xinjiang Navy was responsible for guarding the entire Jiangnan River and its headquarters was in Poyang Lake.
The Gyeonggi War Zone includes all the direct legions of the Empire, taking into account both sea and land. It is the strongest and most reliable military force to defend the Gyeonggi area and protect the imperial power. It is also the imperial decisive needle.
That's why Ouyang Shuo will personally serve as the honorary commander of the Jingji War Zone, without a commanding department for the war zone, and the Privy Council will usually manage daily military affairs.
…………
The Southeast War Zone was renamed the Central Plains War Zone, the Xiaxia Baotao Army, Xiangjiang Army, Yingzhou Corps and the Coastal Fleet, which was responsible for defending the entire Central Plains, especially the eastern coastal areas.
The Hu Ben Army led by Sun Bin withdrew from the Southeast War Zone combat sequence and other arrangements were made.
Specifically, the Leopard Army is responsible for protecting the five coastal provinces of the Northern Frontier, Kyoto, Eastern Shandong, East China Sea and Jiangnan. Each province is stationed with a legion, and the army headquarters is located in Jianye.
The Xiangjiang Army was renamed the Central Plains Army, responsible for guarding the five Central Plains inland provinces of Guanxi, Hedong, Central Plains, Jingchu and southern Anhui. Each province is stationed in a legion, and the army headquarters is located in Luoyang.
The Yingzhou Corps still guards the Yingzhou Province and is responsible for guarding the eastern gate of the empire at sea.
The coastal fleet is responsible for protecting the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the East China Sea. It is the strongest maritime guarantee force on the coast of the empire. Its headquarters is transferred from the coastal port to Jiaodong Port.
At the same time, the Binhai Fleet will set up naval bases in all seven major ports including Binhai Port, Haijin Port, Jiaodong Port, Haizhou Port, Shencheng Port, Zhoushan Port and Busan Port.
Some bases were newly built, while others directly upgraded and transformed the naval bases of the former Great Zhou Dynasty.
Such a Central Plains War Zone, which is both sea and land, is not only the backbone of the Central Plains of the Empire, but also a sharp sword to defend the eastern border of the Empire, shocking the crowd.
General Han Xin was removed from two major positions, commander of the Southeast War Zone and commander of the Baotao Army, and appointed to the other party.
The commander of the Leopard Army was replaced by Yue Fei, the general of Zhenbei. As early as shortly after the Battle of Mongolia, the court removed Yue Fei's position as commander of the Northern Frontier Army and was promoted to the position of Deputy Commander Chen Yucheng.
Yue Fei took charge of the Leopard Army and guarded the coast of the empire, which shows how Ouyang Shuo valued him.
Sun Bin, former deputy commander of the Southeast War Zone, was promoted to commander of the Central Plains War Zone. At the same time, according to convention, Sun Bin would take the opportunity to step down as commander of the Hu Ben Army.
The commander of the Hu Ben Army was very surprised and was promoted directly to Li Xiucheng, the commander of the Fifth Army.
This time, Li Xiucheng was directly promoted from a commander of the army to the commander of the group army. He was a fish leaping over the dragon gate and became the most dazzling existence among the young generals of the Great Xia Army.
This promotion of Li Xiucheng is not only Ouyang Shuo's recognition of Li Xiucheng's ability, the background of Li Xiucheng's firearm era, but also one of the factors that he can be promoted this time.
Compared with Chen Yucheng, the commander of the Northern Army who shines on the Mongolian battlefield, Li Xiucheng is only strong but not weak.
Of course, Li Xiucheng's background in the Hu Ben Army is also one of the reasons why he can stand out among all the candidates this time.
Ouyang Shuo even wanted to use this appointment to awaken all the veteran generals in the Daxia army, especially the veterans. They are in high positions in the army. They never rank in seniority, but to see who can keep pace with the times and focus on the future war.
Those who are self-confidence can only be eliminated.
There is another interesting phenomenon in the Central Plains War Zone, that is, the old army of the war zone commander Sun Bin, the Hu Ben Army, was transferred from the war zone sequence, but Han Xin's old army of the Bao Tao Army stayed.
This is certainly not a coincidence, and it is carefully arranged.
The purpose is to gradually separate the "blood connection" between the war zone commander and the blind troops, and prevent the war zone commander from greed for power, favoritism, and even self-respecting.
Although there is no such sign in the army at present, Ouyang Shuo must be prepared as soon as possible.
Previously, the imperial court had similar arrangements in the African theater and the Southwest theater, and the following major theaters were the same, so it formed a convention or even a fixed institutional arrangement.
…………
The North Asian War Zone was formed, the Xiaxia Fengxiang Army, the Northern Frontier Army and the Beiyuan Construction Corps were responsible for protecting the northern border of the Empire, responsible for guarding the Mongolian grasslands, and defending against invasions from the Romanov dynasty.
The Fengxiang Army was stationed in Beiyuan Province. While stationing in Liao and Jin Province, the Northern Frontier Army also took into account the defense of the eastern part of Beiyuan Province. After all, Beiyuan Province is too vast and Fengxiang Army cannot take care of it.
Named the North Asian War Zone, rather than the Northern Theater Command, it can be seen that the purpose of the imperial court setting up the war zone is not only the short-term suppression of northern borders, but also the long-term goal, but also the intention to compete with the Romanov dynasty.
Li Mu, deputy commander of the Northwest Theater, was promoted to commander of the North Asian Theater, and was also resigned from the position of commander of the Yingyang Army.
The commander of the Yingyang Army was replaced by Zuo Zongtang, the second-rank general of the West, who had just been promoted to the commander of the Feixiong Army. The position of commander of the Feixiong Army, which Zuo Zongtang, was replaced by Li Ji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who was as famous as Li Jing, Li Ji was enough to be able to take on this position.
Such cross-appointments are, first, to avoid the law of non-overlapping between the commander of the war zone and the old subordinates, and second, to avoid the embarrassment that Li Jing and Li Ji, two famous Tang generals, belong to the same war zone.
The main thing is the latter.
The North Asian War Zone and the Northern Frontier Protectorate's jurisdiction completely overlap, with one army and one politics to protect the northern border of the empire.
…………
The West Asian War Zone was formed, the Bear Army, the Hedong Army, and the Western Xinjiang Construction Corps were responsible for protecting the Western Xinjiang of the Empire, and it was also the main force of the Empire's future attack on the Persian Empire.
The Feixiong Army was stationed in the Xijiang Province, and the Hedong Army was renamed Xiyajun. Its headquarters was located in the Xihai Province. While stationing in the Xihai Province, it also took into account the eastern part of the Xijiang Province.
Wang Jian, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, was appointed as the commander of the West Asian War Zone and was awarded the rank of general.
Wang Jian was obsessed with chasing Ogedei who fled to Persia. This time, he took charge of the West Asian War Zone and gave Wang Jian a legitimate stage to let him play.
…………
The Northwest War Zone was renamed the South Asian War Zone, the Xiaxiaoying Yang Army, the Nanyajun and the Xikang Construction Corps. It is temporarily responsible for guarding the Xikang high-ranking officials' plan, and it is the main force of the empire's attack on India.
General Li Jing was transferred to the commander of the South Asian theater.
Considering that the Xikang Province was almost razed to the ground in the just-concluded battle of Tubo, it needed large-scale reconstruction and very limited logistics support capabilities, the South Runner-up will be stationed on the border of Shu.
Before the Xikang Construction Corps got on track, the supply of the South Runner-in-Law was the province of Shu. Fortunately, Shu was a famous country of Tianfu, with abundant resources, enough to take on this important task.
…………
The Southwest War Zone was renamed the Nanyang War Zone to better match its positioning, and it still belongs to the Dragon Xiang Army, the Hanoi Army, the Heluo Army and the Northern Frontier Army, responsible for Southeast Asia and Australia's defense.
At the same time, the Yashan fleet was assigned to the Nanyang War Zone to be responsible for maritime defense of the entire Nanyang. In the future, the Indian Ocean fleet will gradually be transferred to the Indian Ocean waters.
According to the empire's plan, after annihilation of Java, the Nanyang War Zone will be adjusted. After all, with the current stable situation in Nanyang, it seems that there is no need to station four armies.
…………
The African theater remains unchanged.
In addition to the seven war zones above, the Empire was also secretly forming the American war zone, the Tiger Ben Army and the South American Army were responsible for the war in the entire America region.
Given that the situation in South America is still unclear, the Hu Ben Army is temporarily stationed in the Central Plains, and will be teleported to the American battlefield after the time is ripe. That was when the American War Zone was officially unveiled.
General Han Xin, who has stepped down as commander of the Southeast War Zone, is the candidate for commander of the American War Zone.
The American continent is the second continent that the empire has focused on, and will face the threat of the Dawson dynasty in the future and transfer Han Xin to serve as the commander of the American theater, which shows Ouyang Shuo's importance to Han Xin.
Only Han Xin, a general with outstanding achievements, can take on this important task.
Bai Qi, Han Xin and Li Jing, the three generals, were still the three largest aces in Ouyang Shuo's hands, and were arranged to be at the forefront of the empire and shouldered the most difficult war mission.
After this major adjustment, the Military Affairs Office also ushered in a round of adjustments.
Before this, the Imperial Guards, the City Guards, the Yulin Army, and the seven armies of Longxiang, Tiger Ben, Baotao, Eagle Yang, Fei Xiong, Tianlang, and Fengxiang, all of which were able to travel to the Military Affairs Office.
After this round of adjustment, only the commanders of the eight major war zones can be appointed as ministers of military operations. Given that Ouyang Shuo was appointed as the commander of the Jingji War Zone, there were actually only seven commanders of the war zones who walked through the Military Operations Department.
That is, Bai Qi, the African War Zone, Han Xin, the American War Zone, Li Jing, the South Asian War Zone, Sun Bin, the North Asian War Zone, Li Mu, the West Asian War Zone, and Wu Qi, the Nanyang War Zone.
Then there are military minister Du Ruhui and naval commander Zheng He.
Huo Qubing, Shi Wansui, Xu Da, Guo Ziyi and Meng Tian withdrew from the Military Affairs Office.
Even Huo Qubing, whom Ouyang Shuo trusts the most, cannot make an exception. Ouyang Shuo hopes that the system is the system, and do not easily overcome and provoke.
Chapter completed!
