The chief officer of the Fifth Army must be a general, one level lower than the Fourth Division, and is slightly equal to the two bureaus. Among the Five Armies, Cangzhou needs to deal with the Wei Bo and Xuanwu coalition forces. It is the most important place in the Lulong Army, so the high-grade general is the fifth-grade officer.
General Zhong Shao of Dingyuan was appointed, and his team was led by Liu Jinhou, the envoy of the capital. Zhong Shao and Liu Jinhou were both distinguished generals with rich combat experience. The fact that these two men led the Cangzhou Army showed Li Chengzhong's great influence on the Cangzhou battlefield.
attach great importance to
In the General Administration of Military Staff, the five armies are also divided into order. According to the habit of General Li Chengzhong, the five armies are divided into Army A and Army B. In terms of the equipment of officers and soldiers, armor and weapons and equipment, and the supply of money and food, etc.,
Army A has priority, Army B takes second place, especially Army A. Army B's crossbows and armor equipment are obviously inferior to those of Army A, and Army B does not have luxury equipment.
Because of its important battlefield role, the Cangzhou Army was classified as a Category A Army. It was given priority to be equipped with veterans of the original Yingzhou Army. It was also the first field army to be satisfied with the military armor and weapons and equipment.
Mozhou is located in the south of Youzhou. On the mountain and river map, down from Mozhou is Yingzhou, and down from Yingzhou is Shenzhou. The three states are like bucket handles, sandwiched between the three towns of Yiwu Army, Chengde Army, and Wei Bojun.
It was Lulong's southward protruding military staff who judged that there would be many low-intensity battles in the three prefectures of Mo, Ying, and Shen in the next one or two years. Although they were not the main battle areas, the battles should be relatively frequent.
For this reason, the Mozhou Army also equips Type A Army
Li Chengzhong chose to release Zhou Xiaolang, the veteran commander of the Yuan Yingzhou Army who had been with him for a long time, to lead the army alone as the commander of the Mozhou Army, and let Zhao Yuanping, who had made great achievements many times, as the military commander of the Mozhou Army. The two men formed a team.
Preparing to establish the Mozhou Army should be able to stabilize the situation in the three states
It was the first time that Zhou Xiaolang left Li Chengzhong to lead the army alone. However, due to the subtle influence, Li Chengzhong believed that his talents were already available, and what he lacked was just experience. As for the appointment of Zhao Yuanping, there were many considerations. Li Chengzhong felt that Zhao Yuanping was not lacking in bravery, but stability.
If it is not enough, let him be transferred to the position of Envoy. On the one hand, it can train his restraint. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a reward and promotion for his many great achievements.
The third Category A Army is naturally the Youzhou Army. This army is responsible for defending Youzhou, which is equivalent to the capital garrison in later generations. It took Li Chengzhong a lot of thought to choose the chief officer of the Youzhou Army. In the end, he chose Meng Xuxinghe.
Wang Yibo and Meng Xuxing were the original commanders of the left wing of the Yingzhou Army. Wang Yibo was the governor of the left wing. Both of them participated in all the wars after Li Chengzhong became famous. The former was calm and the latter was smart. On the other hand, the former was a little honest.
The latter is a bit different, and it can be said that each has its own pros and cons.
But there is no problem with the cooperation between the two people, and the loyalty index is enough to reassure Li Chengzhong, especially Wang Yibo, who was one of the earliest members of Li Chengzhong's "threesome" back then, and Wang Yibo was in the Youzhou Army.
Sitting in charge, Li Chengzhong can sit back and relax
With Li Chengzhong's entry into Guan, the strategic position of Yingzhou and the outside of Guan no longer seemed important. The grassland had become Lulong's rear base and was no longer a threat. Therefore, the status of the Yingzhou Army and the Huaiyue Allied Forces also changed.
The descendants were classified as Type B Army
Li Chengzhong first wanted to cancel the establishment of the Yingzhou Army, but this idea was opposed by almost all officers. As an army that had conquered all ethnic groups in the Bohai Sea, Silla, and the Diding Grassland, canceling the designation of the Yingzhou Army was not a good idea for all officers.
It was unacceptable to be outraged, and Li Chengzhong had to keep it. The moment this decision was announced, a group of mid-level and senior military generals breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with tears faintly visible in the corners of several eyes.
Li Chengzhong finally came to his senses and realized that the name Yingzhou Army represents the past of all officers and soldiers. This is an inheritance that permeates the blood of the army and is an indivisible tradition of the army. It is also from this designation that
The inner belonging of all officers and soldiers who came out
The name of the Yingzhou Army is Yingzhou, but according to needs, the headquarters has been moved to the pass and set up on the line of Da'an Mountain in Fanyang, covering Guizhou and Youzhou to the north, and supporting Mozhou, Yingzhou and Shenzhou to the south. Jiaochengqiao was promoted
He is the commander of the military capital of Yingzhou, and Wei Keming is the military commander of the capital.
Xie Li finally emerged from the shadow of Zhong Shao and grew into the chief officer of a large army. His position was the commander of the Huaiyue Allied Forces. His teammate was the former Huaiyue and Yuhou Joint Headquarters Yuhou Zhangshun Gandanjie.
There is no concurrent post of Du Yuhou of Huaiyue Yuhou Joint Headquarters. This position is concurrently held by Lu Long, deputy envoy of Jiedu, and Zhou Zhiyu, governor of Yingzhou.
After the peace outside the Pass, the military functions of the Huaiyue-Yuhou Joint Headquarters have been reduced. It needs to gradually increase the supervision and coordination of various countries and ministries outside the Pass, handle mutual disputes and the relationship with the Lulong Jiedu Prefecture, and political
The function gradually increased and was filled by the governor of Yingzhou who had the function of "controlling all military affairs outside the customs". This was more in line with the regulations. Because of the special relationship between Zhou Zhiyu and Li Chengzhong, Zhou Zhiyu was not only qualified for this position in terms of prestige, but also able to
Reassuring Li Chengzhong
The Huaiyue Allied Forces were still responsible for the recruitment of troops and the supply of money and food to the Huaiyue and Yuhou Joint Headquarters, but the combat command was separated from the Yuhou Headquarters and transferred to the General Administration of Military Staff. In order to adapt to the current military needs, the Huaiyue Allied Forces moved from Huaiyuan
leave, enter and station in the customs
Lieutenant General Li Cheng decided to station the Huaiyue Allied Forces at Wuqingyi in the south of Youzhou, adjacent to Cangzhou. Wuqingyi was a port station beside the Yongji Canal of the Grand Canal, located north of Tianjin in later generations. Due to the existence of the Yongji Canal, all money, grain and materials were available.
It can be transported from Youzhou to Wuqingyi very conveniently, which solves the logistical problem of tens of thousands of troops to a great extent. From Wuqingyi, you can take a boat to the south and go directly to Changlu, thirty miles northwest of Cangzhou, via Qianning Military City, thus quickly supporting Cangzhou.
army combat
In addition to Wuqingyi’s convenient transportation conditions, there is also a relatively famous pasture called Wuqingyuan nearby. For the Huaiyo Allied Forces, which has a large number of military horses, this is an excellent place to raise horses.
According to the plan of the General Administration of Military Staff, five cavalry battalions of the Huaiyue Allied Forces were deployed in Wuqingyuan, three battalions of infantry were deployed in Wuqingyi, and one infantry battalion was deployed each in Qianning Military City and Changlu County, together with the Cangzhou Army.
Cooperate with each other to form a chain strategic channel from north to south.
Through close deployment, the Lulong Army's strategic posture initially showed that the Cangzhou Army and the Mozhou Army were like two fists, pointing at the eastern battlefield and the western battlefield respectively. The Waiyo Allied Army and the Yingzhou Army were like arms behind the fists, building a deep defense position and serving as a strategic
At the end of the support group is the Youzhou Army, which is the deep backing of the entire military and the third barrier of Youzhou.
After the appointment of generals such as the chiefs of departments and bureaus of the General Administration of Military Staff and the chief officers of the Fifth Army, they are followed by the appointment of various departments and departments, the left and right wings of the Fifth Army, and the appointment of officers above the battalion level. Finally, the appointments of various bureaus, departments, and generals.
The list of grass-roots officers reported by the battalion, followed by the long list of reserve brigade, battalion, command, and team officers from various states and counties. There are nearly 8,000 military officers from the ninth grade and above, plus hundreds of eighth-grade to third-grade officers.
The ratio of noncommissioned officers to soldiers is nearly six to one!
All former soldiers of the state army and officers above the captain of each reserve battalion were promoted to military positions. Even this could not meet the needs of the officers. Therefore, officers above the captain of the Wyoming Alliance Army and some meritorious soldiers also joined the ranks of sharing the cake.
The entire Yingzhou system in the Central Committee was filled with joy
Fortunately, at the end of last year, Li Cheng and other senior officials had already anticipated the scale and difficulties of military expansion. At that time, they expanded the Bailangshan Military Academy and built a new school building and training ground outside the mountain, officially turning the Bailangshan Military Academy into a military academy.
It is divided into the Junior Command College and the Senior Command College. The Junior Command College outside the mountain is responsible for training officers below the capital level. The Senior Command College inside the mountain is responsible for the training of officers above the battalion.
As soon as the entry war ended, the Yingzhou Army immediately began large-scale rotation training. According to the comprehensive training plan, all officers promoted from soldiers to officers, and officers below the battalion level to officers above the battalion level must receive officer training from Bailangshan Military Academy.
, with training resumes, the number of people is close to 5,000, and there is no possibility of training at the same time. It can only be divided into three phases.
From February to May is the new command class, with the Junior Command College enrolling 1,500 students, and the Advanced Command College enrolling 100 students; from the end of May to the end of August is the new second command class, with the number of students enrolled being the same as the new one.
The preparations for the new three-phase command class are about to be completed, and the classes are expected to start from September to December.
The Training Department is preparing to set up the entire officer framework of the Fifth Army before the end of this year to prepare for the upcoming war next year. Such a large-scale officer rotation training is very reluctant for the Bailangshan Military Academy. It has already arrived.
The training capacity was extremely high. Many students in the advanced class had to take time out to give lectures in the junior command class, and then they barely completed the training.
The three-month training period is a training course for a special period. After the expansion of the Fifth Army is completed and Lulong has military support, starting from next year, the Bailangshan Military Academy will return to the normal training period. The training of cadets will take six months. Senior
The quota for the class is fifty, and the quota for the junior class is 500.
At this time, Lulong is the most dangerous time, because the entire military system is in the process of reconstruction and training, and there are very few troops that can be used to fight. The three soldiers trained at Liucheng Training Camp and Huaiyuan Training Camp between last winter and February this year
Thousands of new soldiers were the first batch of troops to be added to the front line. They also became the first batch of soldiers of the Cangzhou Army and the Mozhou Army respectively. These soldiers were placed on the front line, falsely displaying various army flags and numbers, in order to frighten the people in Hebei.

In late June, with the announcement of the appointment and dismissal list, at the beginning of the new term, graduates from the advanced class first began to replenish the Cangzhou Army and Mozhou Army, the two units in the front-line combat area. Zhong Shao, Liu Jinhou, Zhou Xiaolang, and Zhao Yuanping rushed to Youzhou.
The recruit training camp selects soldiers and urgently forms its own troops. Now the two armies have a total shortage of more than 7,000 people. These shortages can only be counted on the recruit training camp (to be continued...)
