The military operation against Jamu Jamuha was personally deployed and prepared to be directed by Xu Shiyang. The logistics base of this battle was Yanjing, so it naturally could receive full support from the empire and a large amount of war resources.

Although according to the predictions of the General Staff, there were only less than 100,000 male men left at this time, and no more than 20,000 of them had armor, which was actually not a very threatening opponent.

However, the Chinese army still gathered a relatively large military force.

First, the field army troops that remained in the north and did not go south. Based on the original units, they formed ten battle groups, and then used mobilization of reserve soldiers to fill the vacancies in the troops.

In this way, the actual staff of each combat group is 8,000 and the total force is 80,000.

In order to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from escaping and threatening the mainland, the northern borders of all provinces near Chahar must be vigilant, and militias mobilize to defend their own homes.

With the current proportion of gun equipment and training levels of the Han militia, as long as they are not caught off guard, it will be difficult for the Mongols with less than a thousand people to capture any village. If the Mongols gather more than a thousand people, it will be almost impossible for them to hide their whereabouts.

If you cannot hide yourself, then the cavalry that grew up in the empire year by year is enough to kill all the Mengwu herders who were deeply involved in China and harassing and attacking.

Of course, Chahar is not in the mainland, and the empire will not be as careful as he is to the Mongolians as he is to Jiangnan as he has entered a porcelain shop.

This attack, of course, would have a large number of foreign soldiers involved.

Among them, the first thing to participate in the war was naturally the foreign Mengwu such as Khalkhakharqin Tumote, who were also Mongolians.

According to the requirements of the General Staff of the Chinese Army, each Khalkha unit sent 10,000 troops, 30,000 Korqin and 30,000 Tumote, a total of 70,000 cavalry, which was almost equivalent to one of the three Dings.

As a foreign country that had just been fortunate to participate in the Fengshan Ceremony of Mount Tai, this is an excellent opportunity for the Mongols to show their loyalty to the empire. Any foreign country Mengols who dared to underestimate this matter would be severely revenge.

In addition, the one who needs to participate in the war is naturally the foreigner Soren, who is indispensable in every foreign war.

The Jin Dynasty was not over for a long time, and the hatred of the empire's citizens against the Jurchens still existed at this time. As the Soren tribes split from the Jurchen corpses, they still needed to bleed to prove that they would not become the second Jurchen.

The empire also needs to continuously weaken Sauron's cohesion and the possibility of tribe reunification by drawing Souron's male ranks to defend the border in the distance.

This time, the 990 foreign families of Soren need to send 10,000 troops.

Based on past experience, the Sorensen households knew that these men would not come back when they went out - not because they died, but because they would guard the borders for the empire far from their hometowns.

In places where the surroundings are alien races, the only thing Sauron hunters can rely on is the empire.

For the hundreds of households, although their lives are much richer than when the Jin Dynasty was in the past (because the imperial merchants purchased Liaodong mountain products without limits such as fur, deer antlers, ginseng, medicinal materials, etc.), the empire always recruited people, which made them unable to gather more people.

This made the hundreds of households who regarded people as wealth very unhappy.

But there was nothing we could do. The Empire would not mind killing several Sauron Houses to warn the monkeys.

The 80,000 troops that the foreign men, Mengwu and Soren, should all bring their own food, grass, weapons, and horses. They will start gathering in May. The General Staff will send people to inspect each unit. If someone uses the old and the weak to make up their numbers, or even the food, grass, and armor are not ready, then the consequences will be borne by themselves.

The war against Chaharmongu will occupy most of the military resources of the field army. In addition, Jiangnan, which has just been ruled, also absorbed most of the power of the field army like a sponge absorbing water. Xu Shiyang scattered the field army troops at the level of Jiangnan County, with dozens to hundreds of people in each county.

On the one hand, these people should temporarily act as grassroots cadres and cooperate with the administrative transformation work in Jiangnan. On the other hand, they should build a grassroots militia system and reserve system to use this as a basis for large-scale bandit suppression.

The bandits in Jiangnan were very serious - in fact, in Xu Shiyang's opinion, there was no place where bandits were not serious in this era, but some areas in Jiangnan were particularly serious (the bandits in Jiangbei were once more serious, but after the continuous extermination of the empire, it is much better now).

Traditional bandits, water bandits, dispersed Zhou soldiers, old interest groups that were dissatisfied with the new regime, a few blinded people, farmers who were so poor that they could only be half bandits and half people, refugees who had been separated for a long time, and a large number of alien mountain people in the mountains who did not know which ethnic group they belonged to, were full of scattered, and two or three million people with bandit nature.

In addition, the complexity of the governance in the Jiangnan region is much higher than that of the Jiangbei created by the empire, so the field army and the main reserve members must basically be concentrated in the Jiangnan region in order to maintain order.

In this way, there were significantly fewer troops that could be given to Feng Sanhu for the Southern Expedition.

The core troops of the Southern Expedition Legion actually had only one combat group of 8,000 people in the Army, and 5,000 people from the Navy and Marine Corps, totaling 13,000 troops.

However, the General Staff is preparing to temporarily recruit some new recruits in Guangxi Province and Guangdong Province to supplement the team. The officer structure is ready-made, and the Han people in Guangxi Province are also reliable enough. As long as the recruits are included in the team, equipment is given, and training for a few more months, this is a strong army.

There is time to train recruits. Now Jiaozhi has entered the rainy season, which is a season for frequent diseases and mosquitoes, so it is not suitable to launch large-scale military operations.

The attack must wait until this year's dry season (the thief invasion last year also began to operate in the dry season), and there is still about half a year left.

With the equipment and teaching level of the Chinese army, the recruits can get on the battlefield in about three months of training.

If you are worried that soldiers will easily cause trouble in the first battle, Feng Sanhu can also use the Hokage to start the attack first and use war instead of training.

The final structure of the Southern Expedition Legion is 63,000 people - 8,000 veterans, 5,000 new recruits, and 5,000 navy.

Another advantage is that the Dongman who did not get from the thief last year could also provide some help - they did not need to fight, but they were more familiar with the mountains and terrain in the south than the Chinese army, and they were qualified as guides.

In terms of military strength, the Southern Expedition Army needed to temporarily recruit training troops, but in terms of logistics, it was almost too much because it was close to the prosperous Jiangnan.

The Southern Expedition Army, which had only 60,000 soldiers, only took a few months to prepare enough food and grass for 100,000 people to eat for two years!

You know, Feng Sanhu plans to completely solve the Jiaozhi problem in three to five months!

There are also a large number of regular medicines to prevent mosquito bites and avoid the summer heat. Huang'an, specially prepared by the General Staff, supplemented by the Expeditionary Force, horses for Feng Sanhu, guns and cannons for the recruits, and sufficient ammunition.

There are even a lot of dried fruits that are sugar-stained!
