Chapter 1244: Integrating the North
The latest website: Because of Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang, Liu Yan's son, succeeded to the throne as Yizhou Mu in danger.
However, Liu Zhang's nature was dark and weak, and Liu Yan's internal affairs made Zhao Wei arrogant and domineering, so he didn't take Liu Zhang seriously at all.
Shang Ji didn't care about the affairs in the south, and his main energy in the world was focused on rectifying the military and politics in the north.
Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sizhou, all of a sudden there are so many more states and counties, and the Shangji army is a bit too busy. The huge army of hundreds of millions continues to be rectified. The people also needed medical treatment, and Shang Ji had no time to pay attention to the disturbance of the southern princes.
The first is the appointment of new officials. The Shangji has invested heavily in these years, and the results of the construction of education have finally appeared. According to the standard of the Shangji forces, at least 100,000 third-rate and above scribes are needed to maintain the six newly occupied states and counties. run.
The four major academies in Xiangping, plus one in Chenzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Yongzhou, a total of eight top-level academies provided Shang Ji with a large number of reserve talents.
After mobilizing some of the original qualified officials from the local states and counties, it didn't take much effort for Shang Ji to set up the administrative framework of several newly occupied states and counties.
Quickly filled administrative positions, government affairs began to operate according to the model of Shangji forces, and Shangji also began to reorganize the army.
According to the statistics just reported, in addition to the original army of the Shang Ji Army, the current number of soldiers under Shang Ji's command is as high as 260 million. The number of troops makes Shang Ji feel dizzy.
Of course, the army is huge, but its combat effectiveness is very weak.
At least 70% of them are troops of the fourth rank, which has been completely eliminated by the merchant army, and there are still many rank three scum. Most of these were the Jizhou Army, which was temporarily recruited by Yuan Shao during the first battle.
For these soldiers who joined forces, Shang Ji's attitude was very firm, and they were all dismissed.
According to the inherent standard, a county retains different numbers of county soldiers according to the population, number of cities, public security situation, and taxation situation, ranging from 300,000 to 800,000. On average, a state has 7 million The left and right county soldiers.
The seven newly occupied states need a total of about 50 million county soldiers.
Relatively speaking, the number of county soldiers is relatively small, but the Shangji army has high requirements for county soldiers. The minimum standard is level five, and the high quality perfectly makes up for the lack of quantity.
It is more than enough to maintain local law and order and eliminate small bandits.
As for the battle regiments, the ten battle regiments changed by the Bingzhou Army remained intact. Because he promised to grant Diao Chan a treatment not inferior to that of Lu Bu, all Diao Chan's Liangzhou Army will have ten combat legions after the change.
Yuan Shao's Jizhou Army also had a considerable number of soldiers with good combat effectiveness, and selected the elite, and finally reorganized seven combat legions.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao's surrendered soldiers also had strong combat effectiveness and high potential. A total of six combat legions were reorganized. That is to say, after this battle, the number of combat legions of the Shang Ji Army skyrocketed to 33.
Before the war, in order to solve the problem of insufficient troops for two-line combat, Shang Ji temporarily formed ten temporary combat corps. These ten combat legions performed well in this battle, and all of them were promoted to official combat legions.
In addition to the ten combat legions changed by the Himiko Legion, the number of combat legions of the Shangji Army has broken through to eighty-nine, with a total strength of more than 20 million!
Of course, there is a clear gap in combat effectiveness between the original combat legion and the newly formed combat legion. Therefore, a new classification appeared within the Battle Legion—the Numbered Battle Legion and the Titled Battle Legion!
The so-called numbered battle legions are battle legions named after numbers, such as the 80th battle legion, the fiftieth battle legion, etc., and the title battle legion is also called the ace legion, which has its own exclusive name, such as the Xingyao Legion , Silver Dragon Legion, Shura Legion, etc.
There are currently eighteen titled legions, and the commanders of these eighteen titled legions are dubbed the Eighteenth Heavenly King of the Shangji Army, and their status is much higher than that of the commanders of the numbered battle legions.
The most obvious example is that during the previous war, Liu Meng's Greedy Wolf Legion and several other numbered legions formed a regiment with a scale of over one million, cutting off Liu Bei's retreat, and Liu Meng was the commander of that army.
This has also become the practice of the Shangji Army, with the titled legion as the core, supplemented by some numbered legions to form a corps, and the head of the titled legion is the commander of the corps by default.
Eighty-nine battle regiments, more than 80 million county soldiers (plus Chenzhou, Pingzhou and other original county soldiers), the total standing force of the Shangji Army theoretically broke through the 100 million mark!
The reason why it is said is in theory, because many armies are still in a state of reorganization.
Although Shang Ji has more than 200 million surrendered soldiers on hand, he can't gather 50 million qualified fifth-tier county soldiers, and there are still a large number of troops that need to be trained. Now it is just a shelf, and it is still far from realizing Shang Ji's plan. far too!
Even the new combat legion needs intensive training and reorganization.
The quality of the army is one aspect, and the rigid supporting equipment is also one aspect. The average equipment of the Shang Ji army at the same level is one level higher than that of other princes. That is to say, most of the equipment of the captured army itself does not meet the requirements of Shang Ji, so most of the newly reorganized combat legions lack suitable equipment. .
Part of it can be solved by seizure, but most of them still need to be remanufactured.
It is worth mentioning that as Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Diao Chan surrendered successively, all their generals also changed their surnames to Shang. Among them, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun of Lu Bujun, Ma Chao and Pound under Diao Chan's command, Yan Liang and Wen Chou under Yuan Shao's command are worth mentioning.
These are still generals whose strength is at or at the peak of the heavenly level, and ordinary S-level generals will not be introduced one by one.
In addition to generals, there are also many well-known civil servants.
Yuan Shao's advisers were taken over by Shang Ji, and none of Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xin Pi, Xin Ping, and Xu You ran away. Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu, Liu Bei's most core and most veteran advisers, were also captured by Shang Ji.
That is to say, Chen Gong hanged himself and died, which made Shang Ji a little regretful.
The Legion of Historical Beauties under Diao Chan's command also joined the Fengwu Legion under Liu's name as a matter of course, which greatly improved the average appearance of the Fengwu Legion, and their overall combat effectiveness improved by leaps and bounds.
And with the Legion of Historical Beauties joining the Fengwu Legion, the popularity of the Fengwu Legion surpassed Shang Ji's First Guard Corps in one fell swoop. The top historical beauties in Huaxia District, Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, Mrs. Zou, Fan The wives are all in the Fengwu Legion, and the players are even more envious and jealous when they mention the Fengwu Legion.
