After receiving the news from Sichuan, Shang Yi was also quite sad. Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were all the people of this era in another time and space, and at least for the past thirty years, they all
They will play an important role on the stage, but now they have all fallen.
However, Shang Yi thought about it again that his butterfly had flapped his wings for eight years, so the history of this time and space has completely changed. A group of original storm figures have withdrawn from this stage due to various reasons, or
It is because I have found my new role position again, but another group of unknown characters have come to the front and started to create a new history. My eyes should also look forward more, and not be entangled in another time and space.
History, now faces a new era.
Chengdu was recovered by the Chinese army, Wu Sangui was defeated and killed. Although Sichuan still has a few remnants of the Sichuan army, it is no longer enough to worry about it. And more importantly, the entire south is also unified. From the beginning of this year, the strategy will be changed.
First, south and then north. Shang Yi originally planned to take about two years to completely pacify the south, but in fact, it took only more than nine months to recover the six provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and expand the region.
More than twice as many as the population has increased by more than 15 million. This also proves that changing the strategy first, the south and then the north was the right choice.
At this time, the areas actually controlled by the New Empire had already reached more than 3.6 million square kilometers, and the population had reached nearly 40 million. If we follow the traditional Chinese territory, it would be less than Shaanxi, Shanxi and Hebei provinces, as well as outside the pass.
The Liaodong region. Now that the south has been completely pacified, the next target of the new empire is naturally these remaining areas in the north.
Of course, in the territory of China in later generations, there are also northwest foreign regions such as Xinjiang, **, Qinghai, and Mongolia. However, in this era, these regions can only be regarded as bond areas compared to the orthodox dynasty of China, and were all the way to the Qing Dynasty.
It was not until the middle of the dynasty that officially belonged to China. To be fair, this was also the greatest contribution made by the Qing Dynasty to China. Of course, in Shang Yi's plan, these places would sooner or later be taken back, but they were just arranged.
After regaining the north.
Although the time for the recovery of the north was delayed by more than a year, the Qing court still had no strength to compete with the new empire at this time. After all, the failure of the Central Plains War hurt the foundation of the Qing court, and the Qing court was still a small peasant.
The economy cannot be recovered in a short period of time.
During the war period in the south, Shang Yi never forgot the north, and the intelligence system was still operating effectively, spreading all kinds of things that happened in Beijing to Nanjing.
In fact, at this time, nothing big happened in Beijing, and the Qing court knew that once the Chinese army sent troops to attack Beijing, they were unable to resist at all, so no one was willing to do anything to resist.
The Chinese army's attack was focused on doing only one thing, transferring all kinds of money, materials and population to Liaodong.
In the past year, the Qing royal family and the Eight Banners nobles were transferring their assets to the Liaodong area outside the pass, and almost never cut off the traffic of vehicles from the official road leading from Beijing to the pass. Therefore, a large amount of money,
The materials also flowed outside the pass.
Of course, Shang Yi was very clear about these situations, but he had already made plans for this battle to recover the north, so he no longer wanted to do anything about how the Qing court broke up, and he could not escape in the end. It is the end of the year and it is not the time to send troops, but we have to start formulating detailed plans for combat in the north.
Of course, before launching the northern war, the current army must also be adjusted, first of all, to increase the army's award.
After Shang Yi became emperor, he also commended and promoted all the officials. Of course, the army was not listed. Among the commanders of the five major military regions, Cheng Jin, Zhou Shaohuan and Li Dingguo were already in the rank of generals, and were all promoted to generals. Luo Yuanbin and Duan Peng were both lieutenant generals, and they were called to pacify the south. They should be promoted to one level according to their military achievements and become generals. With the commendation of Shang Yi's title of emperor, they were promoted to two levels and became generals. Other officers at all levels were also promoted to the next level.
In this way, other members of the headquarters of the five major military regions were promoted to generals, and the ranks of officers at each level were designated as generals or lieutenant generals, the ranks of officers at each division were designated as lieutenant generals or major generals, and the ranks of officers at each brigade were designated as ranks of officers at each level were designated as ranks of officers at each level. Lieutenant general or major general, regiment-level officer brigade general or colonel, battalion-level officer colonel or lieutenant colonel, company-level officer major or captain, platoon-level officer lieutenant or lieutenant. The ranks of the entire army are basically determined like this.
Next is the adjustment of each military region. Now the Chinese army is divided into five major military regions. However, according to the past, the area of strong soil was mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Now, because it is in the southern region, this The distribution method is obviously unreasonable and needs to be re-divided. The northern regions also need to be prepared in advance.
Of course, the re-dividing of military regions will be based on the national regions, including Xinjiang, **, Qinghai, and Mongolia, which have not yet been included in the territory. Therefore, Shang Yi also referred to his entire ** division before traveling to this time and space. The method has been redistributed in response to the overall situation of this era.
The Chinese Army is still divided into the Army Department and the Navy Department, and the Army General Command and the Navy Department are respectively established in the capital. The highest commander is called the Commander-in-Chief and is under the jurisdiction of the United Front Work Department.
The Army Department is divided into eight military regions, each military region has two to four armies. The highest commander of the military region is called the commander of the military region. When each army is stationed in various places, it is called the military region. The highest commander is called the commander of the military region. The distribution of personnel and their respective jurisdictions are:
1. Guangdong Military Region. It is composed of the current 17th and 20th Army of Nanjing Military Region, headquartered in Guangzhou. The military region commander He Chong. The jurisdiction is: Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Taiwan. It is responsible for the security of the southern coastal areas.
2. Yunnan Military Region. It is composed of the current Jiangxi Military Region. It is headquartered in Kunming. The military region commander Luo Yuanbin. The jurisdiction is: Yunnan, Guizhou. It is responsible for the borders of the southern region, and is guarding against Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and other countries.
3. Nanjing Military Region. It is composed of the current Seventh, Twenty-First and Twenty-Fourth Army of Nanjing Military Region, headquartered in Nanjing, and the military region commander Duan Peng. The jurisdiction is: Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are safe and the sea outlets.
4. Sichuan Military Region. It is composed of the sixth, thirteenth and twenty-two armies of the current Huguang Military Region, headquartered in Chengdu. The military region commander Li Mou. The jurisdiction is: Sichuan, and the future **. It is responsible for the security of the southwest region.
5. Shandong Military Region. Headquarters are located in Jinan. The military region commander is temporarily composed of the current Shandong Army. The jurisdiction is: Shandong, Henan. It is responsible for the security of the central and eastern regions and coastal areas.
6. Beijing Military Region. Headquarters are located in Beijing, the military commander is not determined. The jurisdictions are: Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, and Tianjin's estuary, and the future Mongolia.
7. Northeast Military Region. Headquarters, troops, and military region commanders have not been decided. Areas: Northeastern region north of Shanhaiguan and Liaodong Peninsula.
8. Gansu Military Region. Headquarters, troops, and commanders of the military region have not been decided. Areas: Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, future Xinjiang, Qinghai.
After the Xinjiang, **, Qinghai, Mongolia and other regions are strengthened, we will consider it appropriately and add new military regions.
In addition, a central guard army was established in the capital, and elite soldiers would be drawn from each army to form two infantry divisions, one special forces brigade and one cavalry brigade, responsible for guarding the capital, the palace, and the security of the government departments. The administrative level is military sub-district Level, currently temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Military Region, but Emperor Wu was directly mobilized and could also support the battles of other military regions when necessary. The first commander of the Central Guard Corps was Wu Liang, the former commander of Shang Yi's guard commander. The black guards in the Shangyi Guard were all included in the Central Guard Corps. However, another guard captain, also the foreign uncle of the new empire, went on a mission to Europe and had not returned yet, so his position was temporarily retained.
Among the old military regions, only the two military regions that maintained the past number were Shandong and Nanjing. The Jiangxi military regions' numbers were officially cancelled and all were changed to Yunnan Military Regions. The headquarters of the four military regions in Guangdong, Nanjing, Yunnan and the four prefectures in the south were the headquarters of the four military regions in Guangdong, Nanjing, Yunnan and the four prefectures in the south. The troops and military commanders are all confirmed to be coming down, which can also ensure the basic stability of the south.
However, the three military regions of Beijing, Northeast and Gansu are only reserved. After all, the areas where these three military regions are located have not yet been classified as the territory of the new empire. Therefore, the two military regions of Huguang and Huainan have been temporarily retained and are recovered. After Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Northeast and Liaodong, we will make further arrangements.
In addition, the empire's arsenals are now located in Nanjing and Hangzhou. Therefore, after the national unification, we must also consider building several arsenals in other places, and at least one arsenal should ensure that there are no more than two military regions.
The division of the Navy is relatively simple. At present, all fleets will be divided into two fleets: the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet. The Beiyang Fleet is headquartered in Dengzhou, Shandong, and the Nanyang Fleet is headquartered in Guangzhou, Guangdong. The defenses of both sides are based on the estuary of the Yangtze River. The boundary is the waters north of the Yangtze River belong to the Beiyang Fleet, and the waters south of the Yangtze River belong to the Nanyang Fleet.
The highest commander of the fleet is called the fleet commander, and the rank is equivalent to the military region commander. The squadron can be set up under the fleet. The highest commander is called the squadron commander, and the rank is equivalent to the military region commander. Each fleet has three to four branches under the fleet. Fleet, each squadron consists of twenty-five to thirty ships. The ratio of the main warships, auxiliary warships and communication warships is six to three to one. However, each of the two fleets has an inland squadron, which belongs to The Beiyang Fleet is the Yellow River Fleet, and the Nanyang Fleet is the Yangtze Fleet.
When the sea area expands in the future, other ocean-going fleets will be added.
