Chapter 204: 200,000 Central Army

On the autumn of this year, on August 23, Zhu Youxiao officially appointed his fifth brother Zhu Youjian as King of Xin, and sent British Duke Zhang Weixian to maintain his rituals. The cabinet assistant was in charge of the book, and all officials paid tribute to the east wing outside the Huangji Gate...&1t;/p>

Zhu Youjian was twelve years old and was indeed at the age of being the king, but the fiefdom was not decided. Princes of the Ming Dynasty were all appointed as kings first, and then went to the fiefdom to become vassal after getting married. Just the day after Zhu Youjian was named King Xin, Zhu Youxiao beat him to the ten kings' mansion outside the imperial city to live.&1t;/p>

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was a Xibei product, so he didn't have much feelings for his younger brother. But it may be out of guilt or guilt, so Zhu Youxiao chose to treat his younger brother well in material terms. After Zhu Youjian moved to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian to send 50,000 yuan to King Xin to serve him as pocket money.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao was much more at ease when he knocked out of the Forbidden City. He also wished him peace of mind and could enjoy his life happily, so he would not come to the muddy waters of the late Ming Dynasty politics. When the situation stabilized, he would find him a prosperous fiefdom so that he would not be forced into a small town.&1t;/p>

The vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty had no worries about food and clothing, but in order to prevent the vassal kings from taking coups, these vassal kings could not leave the city where their fiefdoms were located after they became vassals.&1t;/p>

Therefore, these vassal kings are equivalent to being in jail. At most, they can stand on the city wall to look at the wind, so many of the vassal kings who have been sealed to small places have been mentally unhealthy and even their personality is distorted. However, those vassal kings who have been sealed to have a more prosperous city will have a lot of mentality. After all, if a city is more prosperous, there are many ways to eat, drink and play, and the city is also much larger. There are many places to wander around, so their personality will naturally be much more normal.&1t;/p>

At present, Zhu Youxiao will naturally not change such a system stupidly. This system of eating and waiting for shit is very good! It eliminates the hidden dangers of coups!&1t;/p>

Zhu Youjian was sent out of the Forbidden City. Zhu Youxiao was much more at ease and immediately began to seize military actions to counterattack Liaodong as soon as possible.&1t;/p>

The first is to establish cavalry. The second is to establish garrison brigades in each province, and the third is to form artillery troops.&1t;/p>

The cavalry will form another 30,000. With the 6ooo cavalry formed in Liaodong and the original two cavalry divisions, the force will reach 42,000.&1t;/p>

The cavalry division expanded its troops, from the previous 3ooo people to one division, and the 42,000 cavalry will form 8 cavalry divisions, with numbers ranging from O15 to O23. At the same time, 4 divisions will form one army, forming the "Tengxiang Cavalry Army" and the "Wuxiang Cavalry Army". Li Wei and Wang Guoxiong were promoted to commanders, and the remaining 2ooo cavalry were in the army-level organization. As long as the two cavalry armies were formed, the Ming Dynasty would regain a powerful cavalry unit.&1t;/p>

The garrison brigade was to suppress internal rebellion. After a plan discussed by the Supreme Command, it was established in Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and Sichuan provinces.&1t;/p>

The garrison mixed brigade is a local garrison force with mixed troops, mainly used to suppress local rebellions. Each brigade has a force of about 5 ooo people, about 4 ooo infantry, and about 1 ooo cavalry. At the same time, several infantry artillery are equipped. Such a combination of troops, combined with excellent equipment, and strict training. There is no problem in suppressing local rebellions.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, this is the recruitment plan for this time. The quota for this recruitment is 65,000. The recruitment system is still adopted. Priority is given to recruiting from border towns, and a group of recruiting from various provinces." Sun Chuantinghui reported. Zhu Youxiao took over the plan and read it, and then said: "We will recruit soldiers according to this plan. However, more soldiers can be recruited from Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Each division must arrange some soldiers from different provinces to enhance friendship."&1t;/p>

"I obey the order." Sun Chuanting took the order.&1t;/p>

This recruitment is certain that it is mainly recruited from the border troops. After all, hundreds of thousands of border troops are like time bombs. First, absorb the essence of it and adapt it. The remaining unqualified soldiers will be arranged to officially transfer to the army in the future. However, only northern soldiers in the army are not allowed. There must be a group of soldiers from various southern provinces to let the soldiers of the north and south provinces understand each other and show friendship, so as not to bring the confrontation between the north and the south into the army.&1t;/p>

The opposition and hatred between the north and the south are the stupidest behavior. The difference between the north and the south of China is actually the best complement to each other. If China wants to become a real big country, it will not do without any side.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the southern soldiers fought in the north and their combat effectiveness was still very good. Just like during the Korean War, many Liaodong soldiers ran away. Because the southern soldiers were too far away from home, few of them ran away. At the same time, the Qi family army was mainly composed of southern soldiers.&1t;/p>

Sun Chuanting then continued to report: "The plan for the formation of the artillery unit is to establish five artillery regiments. The artillery battalion equipped with heavy ten-jin cannons was adapted into the 'Strategic Artillery Regiment', and four more artillery regiments were formed, which were equipped with the new ten-jin cannons developed by the Royal Military Factory, and each regiment was equipped with 72 field artillery guns."&1t;/p>

"Implement this plan." Zhu Youxiao passed this artillery formation plan. There are two versions of the ten-jin cannon developed by the Royal Military Factory.&1t;/p>

One is the 15o kilogram-level ten-kilogram cannon that was put into use in the suppression of the Wenxiang Cult army, with an effective range of 3 kilometers. This extremely heavy ten-kilogram cannon is obviously not suitable for use as a field cannon, but it is a very good choice for siege, so a strategic artillery regiment will be formed to be responsible for siege and capture the village.&1t;/p>

The newly developed ten-jin cannon weighs 466 jin and has an effective range of 9oo meters. It is obviously very suitable as a field cannon. It can be installed on a four-wheeler and can quickly transfer on the battlefield.&1t;/p>

The field artillery regiment will also be equipped with a large number of horses, not only to pull artillery, but also provide horses to the artillery, which can also be understood as "cavalry artillery", and thus obtain sufficient mobility on the battlefield so that it can keep up with the footsteps of the infantry and provide firepower support for the infantry.&1t;/p>

Starting from the autumn of this year, the cavalry, artillery, and garrison mixed brigades of the Central Military Region have been speeding up, and it is expected that a certain combat effectiveness can be formed in one year.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Royal Military Academy and the Royal Academy of Sciences have also begun to recruit students in large quantities.&1t;/p>

The first one to form was the garrison mixed brigade, which directly drew troops from various infantry divisions and cavalry divisions to form. Six garrison brigades were sent to the designated provinces to focus on clearing local bandits and bandits. The infantry divisions sent by Zhu Youxiao were summoned one by one to the capital to continue training.&1t;/p>

After some action, the Central Military Region will soon have 14 infantry divisions, 8 cavalry divisions, and 4 artillery regiments, and its strength will increase to 20,000. (To be continued)&1t;/p>

ps: I have drunk too much wine, and I am not in good condition today. I still have only one update. I can read it for a while if I can write it.&1t;/p>
