Chapter 1213 The Demon Suppressing Army Turns Out

The commander of the African theater is none other than Bai Qi, the current commander of the Southwest Theater.

Bai Qi not only stepped down as the commander of the Southwest Theater, but also stepped down as the commander of the Longxiang Army, and went to the African theater alone.

The Theater Command will be established by the Privy Council and the Military Aircraft Division.

On the surface, Bai Qi was transferred from the Southwest theater with a strong army to the remote African theater, and was forced to leave the Dragon Army, which is a kind of relegation.

But when thinking about the positioning of the African theater in the future, smart people would never think so.

The African theater will be the dynasty's main battlefield for a period of time to come, and it is also an area where wars frequently occur. Moreover, the situation in Africa is complicated. Ouyang Shuo needs a trustworthy general to sit in charge.

Someone once proposed to appoint Wu Qi as the commander of the African theater, but Ouyang Shuo rejected it.

There are two reasons.

First, Wu Qi has just joined and has not yet gained Ouyang Shuo's trust. It is really not reassuring to place him in an African theater far away from the center of the dynasty.

The farther away from the border guards from the center, the more people Ouyang Shuo should trust.

Second, the Greedy Wolf Army and the North African Army were newly established in the African theater, and a large number of new generals were appointed.

If Wu Qi is allowed to sit in the African theater, he and these new generals will subconsciously hug each other for warmth, which is not conducive to the imperial court's control of the theater.

Based on this, Ouyang Shuo chose Bai Qi instead of Wu Qi.

Of course, Wu Qi's ability is unquestionable, even among the gods, he is outstanding. In view of this, Ouyang Shuo ordered that Wu Qi take over the post of commander in chief of the Southwest War Zone and take the rank of general.

The Southwest War Zone has stabilized. Wu Qi went to the post alone. He could neither set up a new stove nor form a clique. He could only choose to integrate into the Daxia system and no longer have any ties to the Xiongba family.

Back then when Xiong Ba led the Jiangnan Province to rebel against the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Qi immediately led his troops to obey without saying a word, which still made Ouyang Shuo quite scrupulous.

Going to the post with Wu Qi, there is also Chen Gong, the military commander of the Southwest Theater.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to deploy military advisors for the African theater, Ouyang Shuo allocated all the military advisors for the four major theaters in one go.

As a result, there are only three counselors left in the Zizheng Pavilion: Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, and Jushou. Among the three, Zhang Liang seeks the country, Jia Xu seeks the army, and Ju Shou is positioned as the assistant of the two, which can be said to complement each other.

The position of commander of the Longxiang Army, which Bai Qi stepped down, was commanded by the Heluo Army in the Southwest Theater, and Zhang Han, the second-rank Nanzhong General, took over. The leader of the Heluo army that Zhang Han dismissed was replaced by Yang Su, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty.

The Longxiang Army is the first-class group army of the dynasty, and it cannot be replaced by a new general. It must be selected from the existing frontier army commanders.

In order to maintain the stability of the southwest theater, Ouyang Shuo delineated Zhang Han.

Among the commanders of the frontier defense army, Zhang Han was originally a first-class existence, and he was born in Qin State with Bai Qi, so it was easier for the soldiers of the Longxiang Army to avoid causing turmoil.

As for Yang Su, who succeeded Zhang Han and served as the commander of the Heluo Army, he was also an extraordinary figure.

Yang Su was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, a powerful family that existed side by side with the Wenxi Pei family. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Su served as a general of chariots and cavalry, participated in the battle to pacify the Northern Qi Dynasty, and deeply married Yang Jian.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su was promoted to the doctor of imperial history. As a marshal of the army, he led the navy to the east to attack the Chen Dynasty. He paid homage to the governor of Jingzhou.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Yang Su led troops to fight against Han Wang Yang Liang's rebellion. The famous "Yang Gong Treasure House" was created by Yang Su.

This person can be described as an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.

So far, the adjustment of the African theater has come to an end.

After deploying to the African theater, Ouyang Shuo turned his attention back to China.

Looking at China, the remaining four-nation alliance in the Central Plains is no longer enough to pose a big threat to Daxia, and the deployment of existing troops is enough to deal with it.

What Ouyang Shuo was worried about was the Mongol Empire in the north.

Especially the Northern Border Protectorate, as the first line to fight against Mongolia, with a large territory, the Northern Border Army and the Yingzhou Corps alone are not enough to make people feel at ease.

With the attachment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Hokkaido, which was previously under the Great Jin Dynasty, was also merged into Yingzhou Province this time. The two legions of the Yingzhou Corps are only enough to deal with the local defense of the province.

In view of this, Ouyang Shuo decided to add a new group army in the northern border area - Fengxiang Army, which was also the second regular field group army added after the Tanlang Army.

From then on, the Fengxiang Army garrisoned the Liaojin Province, and the Beijiang Army garrisoned the Beijiang Province, each guarding a stall.

The Fengxiang Army was commanded by Guo Ziyi, the former commander of the Great Jin Flame Army. As a result, Meng Tian and Guo Ziyi, the two veteran generals of the Jin Dynasty, were in charge of Tanlang and Fengxiang respectively, envious of others.

It can be seen that Ouyang Shuo's kindness to Da Jin is indeed different from ordinary people.

As a regular field army, the candidates for the commander of the Fengxiang Army are also high-profile. The old general Yu Juluo of the Sui Dynasty, Ran Min, the old general of the Jin Dynasty, Feng Sheng, the old general of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Wei, the old general of the Shu Han, were all listed.

The commanders of the legions come from different systems, just to avoid grouping.

In addition to deploying defenses in the northern border, Ouyang Shuo did not dare to take things lightly with regard to the east province bordering the Mongol Empire. He set up the east east army, which belongs to the border defense army system, and stationed in the east province.

In view of the current war situation, the Hedong Army is temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Theater.

Zuo Zongtang, a general of the Qing Dynasty, served as the commander of the Hedong Army. Deng Yu, an old general of the Ming Dynasty, and Yu Wenshu, an old general of the Sui Dynasty, were also assigned to the Hedong Army as the commander of the army.

Historically, Zuo Zongtang once led his troops to conquer the Western Regions, and he had a good understanding of the customs and customs of the Western Regions. Ouyang Shuo made Zuo Zongtang the commander of the Hedong Army, which had deep meaning.

With the addition of the Fengxiang Army and the Hedong Army, the defense line in the north of the dynasty basically stabilized.

If the Mongol Empire dared to cross the border and enter the Central Plains to burn, kill and loot, Ouyang Shuo would definitely show Genghis Khan what it means to be indestructible.

The Greedy Wolf Army, the North African Army, the Fengxiang Army, and the Hedong Army, the four armies, consumed 1.4 million soldiers, leaving 890,000 soldiers waiting to be reorganized.

It would be a pity if they were all abolished.

In view of this, Ouyang Shuo decided to take this opportunity to form a direct subordinate army designation that had been reserved before - Habayashi Army, to complement each other with the Imperial Guard Army.

The Habayashi Army formed this time is the most special group army in the Great Xia Army.

First, the responsibilities are special.

The regular group armies such as the Longxiang Army and the Huben Army are positioned to fight against the outside world; the frontier defense forces such as the Northern Border Army and the Southern Border Army, as the name suggests, mainly guard the border.

The Habayashi Army is different, its main duty is to guard the monster lair.

With the continuous expansion of Daxia's territory, with the capital Shanhaicheng as the center, the surrounding four or five provinces have become the center of the dynasty, far away from the border, safe and secure.

When the four-nation alliance is wiped out in the future, the central land will continue to expand.

The duty of the Habayashi Army is to guard the monster lair in the center. As for the border provinces, they have their own border guards to worry about, and there is no need to deploy a special anti-magic army.

That's right, the Habayashi Army is a powerful suppressing demon army.

Second, the composition of the troops is special.

In view of the successive victories in the Great Xia, the reorganization of the elite players of the metropolis guild has been accelerated recently. Even without Ouyang Shuo's mention, a large number of guilds actively requested to accept the reorganization.

Everyone realizes that hugging this towering tree like Daxia is more secure than anything else.

Most of these elite players will be placed into the Habayashi Army. According to the plan of the Privy Council, in the Habayashi Army sequence, the ratio of combat players to aboriginal soldiers will be maintained at one to one.

In other words, the Habayashi Army alone will absorb nearly 180,000 elite combat professional players.

Ouyang Shuo has already said that the combat players recruited into the Habayashi Army must be the top existences in the Huaxia region. They will recruit the top experts in the world, and ordinary experts will not be able to enter.

Correspondingly, the aboriginal soldiers selected to enter the Habayashi Army are also the elite among the elite, carefully selected from 2.29 million soldiers, and the winning rate is 1:13.

There is a reason for such high standards.

Ouyang Shuo formed the Habayashi Army, not only focusing on the game world, but also focusing on the planet of hope. This army will be the vanguard of the Great Xia campaign against the Hope Planet in the future.

Therefore, from the very beginning, they had to adapt to the military camp environment, learn military regulations and discipline, and accumulate experience in fighting monster groups to improve their actual combat capabilities.

This expectation, Ouyang Shuo did not tell anyone.

The commander of the Yulin Army is led by the god general Xu Da, who holds the rank of general. The two giants of the guild, Bloody Romance and Xie Siyun, served as deputy commanders and studied with Xu Da.

The five legions also had a similar arrangement.

Zeng Guoquan, the head of the First Legion, and the deputy head of the [Blood Shadow League] leader Mingyue Zhao Dajiang;

Han Qinhu, the head of the Second Army, and the deputy head of the [Tingyu Tower] host Jianqi Leiyin;

Huang Zhong, head of the Third Army, and Bi Songxian, deputy head of [Liuguang Pavilion];

Zhou Bo, the head of the Fourth Legion, and the deputy head of the [Falling Leaf League] Luo Wuchen.

The only special thing is the fifth regiment of the Habayashi Army. Lin Jing directly serves as the commander of the regiment, and an experienced general serves as the deputy commander to assist Lin Jing in leading the army.

As Ouyang Shuo's aunt, Lin Jing is the true direct descendant, so naturally he should be extra gracious, and he is also a pair of eyes that Ouyang Shuo planted in the Habayashi Army, responsible for monitoring the entire Habayashi Army.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ouyang Shuo let Lin Jing be in charge of the fifth army instead of the first army.

Except for the legion level, the divisions and brigade levels below are similar to the combination of principal and deputy positions. Only when you go down to the battalion level will players take part of the principal positions according to the actual situation, rather than all of them as deputy positions.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo also let go, this arrangement is just a stopgap measure, as long as the player has the ability and can make meritorious service, the imperial court will not set up additional obstacles in the promotion of the Habayashi Army in the future.

Even if Xu Da was to be replaced, Ouyang Shuo would be happy to see it succeed.

As soon as these words came out, the players were naturally emotional. They were all proud people. For the first time, a desire to make contributions was born in their hearts, and even with their recognition of Daxia, they also subtly improved.

Ouyang Shuo's current wrist really moisturizes things silently.
