The moment Somalia was destroyed, the world was stagnant.

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Jack stood at the top of the wall of Liberty City, looked out at the distance, and was speechless for a long time. How hoped that the territory that could have such deterrence and dominance in the world was Liberty City.

"It's almost!"

Jack murmured to himself, his eyes shining with a light of ambition.

Free City has been successfully promoted to capital, and soon, the second dynasty in the world will be born here. The day of its founding is the beginning of Liberty City's global hegemony.

The national war will no longer be a one-man show for the Great Xia Dynasty.

…………

In addition to Jack, William, Pushkin, Dillawa, Keiyu Honda, Park Seung-ki, Henry...

Globally, ambition lords were stimulated by the Great Xia Dynasty and all accelerated their pace of promotion to dukes. They were unwilling to let Ouyang Shuo sing a solo show alone.

They should have a place on the global stage.

As Gaia's five years approaches, a more magnificent era is quietly coming. The lord who missed this opportunity will miss the opportunity to win the global stage and gradually become a supporting role.

Similarly, those who are placed in front of the Great Xia Dynasty will be more difficult opponents.

***************

On August 5, 2004, Somalia.

Ouyang Shuo led three thousand Shenwu Guards to the Wooden Bone Bus.

Yesterday, the finishing work of the Battle of Somalia went very smoothly, and there was no use of the Rock Army. The six lords were teleported away, leaving the territory army without its masters and surrendered one by one.

As the Somali king was pulled out by the dragon blood warrior in the basement, the hesitant Somali imperial guards also surrendered, and the Somali coalition officially disintegrated.

The war ended and the turmoil subsided. The restlessness of the people in the royal city gradually calmed down. They returned to the city one by one, returned to their original homes, preparing to welcome the new master.

Di Qing ordered the granary to be opened and all the grains collected were distributed to the people. Looking at the mountains of flour in the granary, the last thoughts of the king in the hearts also disappeared.

"It's so cruel! So much food makes us hungry, and our hearts are punished."

The indignant crowd clamored to hang the Somali king. Di Qing naturally would not fulfill their wishes. The king had the final say on how to deal with the Somali king.

The Somali king's incident made Daxia a lot of effort to appease the Somali people.

…………

This time, there were also Gao Shun, the head of the training director of the Privy Council, and Pei Ju, the former governor of Xingzhou County. The reason why he was called Qian was because Pei Ju had received a new appointment before leaving.

The imperial court ordered the establishment of the Somali province, with the capital of Mugudu, and four counties under it. Pei Ju, the governor of Xingzhou County, was transferred to the right, as the governor of Somali Province, and Gu Xiuwen, the governor of Youyi City, was transferred to the position of Xingzhou County.

Pei Ju was in charge of Xingzhou County for one year and three months, which firmly guarded the Strait of Malacca for Daxia, greatly promoted the prosperity of Xingzhou County's trade, and balanced the relationship with surrounding ASEAN countries well.

The strategic positioning and surrounding environment of Somalia provinces and Xingzhou County are almost the same. The difference is that the Somalia province is broader in territory, faces more enemies, and the situation is more complicated.

Therefore, Pei Ju was transferred to the position of governor of Somalia Province this time, which was a natural result.

Gu Xiuwen was the same. From the earliest Beihai Village, to Beihai City, and then to Friendship City, Gu Xiuwen has always been in charge of Binhai City. I believe he can do it well in Xingzhou County.

Ouyang Shuo has always been very optimistic about this young old minister.

As for Gao Shun's arrival at Mu Gu Du Shu, he was responsible for the reorganization of the army. Gao Shun was able to train troops and practice the military. Since taking office, he has almost reshaped the dynasty reserves and security divisions.

Unfortunately, because Friendship City is lonely overseas, Gao Shun had not had time to reshape the city's security division.

It is precisely this that the Friendship City Security Division performed poorly when it was attacked by pirates last time, which disappointed Ouyang Shuo and even removed the position of division commander.

During the first few military reorganizations of the imperial court, Gao Shun was also one of Du Ruhui's main assistants.

This reorganization of Somali prisoners of war was the first time Gao Shun took on heavy responsibilities, which showed that Gao Shun, a special general, was deeply trusted by King Ouyang Shuo of Xia.

There are three reasons for Ouyang Shuo's move.

First, the number of prisoners of war in Somali is relatively small.

According to preliminary statistics from Di Qing, a total of about 120,000 prisoners of war were captured in Somalia. Among them, there were 15,000 local prisoners of war, 65,000 imperial guards in the royal city, and 35,000 troops in the royal city territory.

Compared with the nearly 300,000 surrendered soldiers in Morocco, the number is indeed much smaller. It is mainly related to the vastness of Somalia, which is not a tactical problem.

To be honest, there were almost no fierce battles in the battle of Somalia except for the last two wings raids, so both sides suffered relatively little damage and were within a controllable range.

The 120,000 prisoners of war eliminated the seriously injured and unqualified soldiers, including the Somali Corps, Atlantic Fleet and Dragon Blood Fighting Cavalry, only about 80,000 were truly able to accept reorganization.

If you choose carefully, you will be able to reorganize a field legion.

If the four counties established in the Somalia province were set up according to the customs of the imperial court, there would be no one left, which would be a waste of war.

This is the second reason why Ouyang Shuo chose Gao Shun to be responsible for this round of military reorganization.

After thinking, Ouyang Shuo put forward a bold idea, that is, the Somali Provincial Army garrisons will no longer set up local security divisions except the Somali Corps, and the provincial defense will be left to the Corps to be fully responsible.

The benefits of doing so are obvious.

The biggest advantage is that it has reduced nearly half of its military population, greatly reducing the financial burden of the court and local governments, and preventing the finances from being dragged down by military expenditure.

If four security divisions are set up in Somalia provinces, including the Somali Corps, it will be equivalent to supporting 154,000 troops.

This is a bit too burdensome for an already underdeveloped province.

The only problem to be solved is, can the Somalia Corps replace the role of the security division? After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo's answer was: "Yes!"

Since the day the Somali Corps was established, it has been cut from the Longxiang Army and other armies in terms of its name. It belongs to a special cluster and is destined to be deeply rooted in the Somali Province.

Unless otherwise absolutely, the court would not easily mobilize the Somali Corps to fight abroad.

This means that the Somali Corps will be stationed in the province all year round, rather than on an expedition at any time like the Longxiang Army. Since this is the case, the role of the security division will be greatly weakened and there will be no need for existence.

There is a standing corps stationed and the security division is required to be operated. The personnel are too redundant, so it is enough for counties in Somalia province to make reserves.

Du Ruhui and others nodded immediately to agree to Ouyang Shuo’s proposal.

Things settled.

As for the Moroccan provinces similar to the Somalia province, the four security divisions that have been established in the province will not be removed and will be temporarily maintained.

First, the Moroccan province has a large population, and the pressure to support the security division is not as high as that of the Somalia province. Second, the neighboring country Algeria supports Morocco to form a kingdom in exile, which is also a disaster.

When the Day when the Great Xia Dynasty and Argili fought each other, four security divisions in the Moroccan province could quickly integrate and form a field legion to fight side by side with the Moroccan Corps.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also plans to transform the security divisions in other provinces.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to abolish the security divisions of each county at one time, that's too eager for quick success and instant benefits.

It is best to start with inland counties. These counties have almost no hidden dangers of war and have relatively light defense responsibilities. The security division can be dismissed into a security brigade to reduce military expenditures.

The guard divisions remain in the important areas of the border and are ready to reinforce the front lines at any time.

Ouyang Shuo is in charge of Gao Shun for specific implementation, and the Training Department will come up with a detailed plan.

…………

The third reason why Ouyang Shuo named Gao Shun independently responsible for this round of military reorganization was that he hoped that the training office led by Gao Shun could play a more prominent role in military reorganization in the future.

It is even said that the Training Department will become the responsible agency for future military reorganization.

The reorganized field legion will be replaced by the three major groups of Longxiang Army, Hu Ben Army and Bao Tao Army, and the elite "Soldier King" will be replaced to form the Fourth Corps of the Imperial Guards.

The battle of Somalia exposed another flaw of the Imperial Guards.

Previously, the Imperial Guard had only one infantry legion, trapping the Panshi Army in the royal city and not rotating troops. This time, the arrangement of the Dragon Blood Battle Cavalry to assist the Somali Corps in attacking Somalia exposed that the pure cavalry legion lacked flexibility in the expedition and was very limited in tactical arrangements.

Therefore, the Fourth Corps of the Imperial Guards will be a mixed infantry and cavalry corps, and will also be equipped with musketeers and flight squads, becoming the first highly integrated mixed army.

As for the candidate for the Legion Commander, Ouyang Shuo has not made up his mind yet.

At present, the famous generals in the Daxia army who have not yet served as the commander of the army are Cao Chun, Ma Teng, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Gui, Wei Zhang and Zhang He.

Among them, Cao Gui and Wei Zhang were the deputy commanders of the First Legion of the Army where they were located, and if they were the commanders of the legion, they could not be considered in the alternative sequence.

From this perspective, there were only four generals of the Three Kingdoms left.

The Daxia Army was full of lieutenant generals, but the size of the army was also far greater than that of other territories, and even twenty or thirty times that of other territories.

After these rounds of military expansion, the reserves of generals in the army were almost exhausted. In addition, nothing was found in the Battle of Feishui, and after the war, no other generals joined except Mulan, which made it even more difficult.

A field army, 70,000 regular troops, is a heavy army in which dynasty and generations. Ouyang Shuo naturally has to hand over to capable generals to command.

Especially the commander of the Imperial Guards, it is even more convincing. If an ordinary general is appointed, not only the Imperial Guards, but also other soldiers such as the Dragon Xiang Army and the Hu Ben Army will have opinions.
