The Marine Corps has already begun training, so naturally there is no need to look far away. Luo Yi's troops will be mobilized northward, as long as the people come.
After the reform of the military system of the Han Dynasty, the generals in the army, except for their own private soldiers, actually had far less control over the army below. The army was actually under the command of the army composed of Chang Shi, Sima and Chief Secretary.
In the hands of the system, even if the general has great abilities, he cannot mobilize the army without the nod of these three people.
When the imperial court mobilizes generals, there is naturally no need to consider mobilizing the armies under the generals as well, because these armies do not need to be led by this general. All soldiers are loyal to the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor.
A certain general's soldiers.
"Even if it's the end of the world, as long as I'm still fighting for the Han Dynasty, I know that you are by my side, brother!" Qi Xin laughed loudly, "Have a good trip!"
Although the two had many conflicts at the beginning during the battle in the south, in the end they fought side by side for a long time and naturally formed a deep friendship. They were reluctant to say goodbye today, but naturally a man can't do that kind of crying thing.
things.
A good laugh can be regarded as a blessing to a friend.
"Bon voyage!" Luo Yi also laughed, "You, the Nanyang Fleet, must carefully go through the roads we have not traveled, and plant the flag of the Han Dynasty on all the lands you can see!"
"I accept your good words!" Qi Xin waved his hand.
Before and after the Battle of the Southern Expedition, the scale of the navy expanded rapidly. Not only were the Qinglong warships and clipper ships launched successively, but the newly built warships equipped with artillery were about to be launched after receiving the full support of Li Xingchen. In addition, the Han Navy
In the future, military operations will be carried out in the south and north at the same time, so naturally the navy will not be able to continue to operate as a whole.
After the Southern Expedition, according to Li Xingchen's instructions, the navy, which was smaller than the army, took the lead in starting a new round of military reform. The last military reform of the Han Dynasty mainly established the military Sima, the chief secretary and the chief historian to jointly control the army.
The system actually restored the old military system of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time established the system of generals with heavy titles, generals with different titles, partial generals, battles, and generals. This was mainly to change the original military rank system between the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Chaos and disunity.
In the original Southern Dynasty, there were a lot of miscellaneous generals, while in the Northern Dynasty, there were a lot of great generals. Either situation was not conducive to the development of the army.
Naturally, the main purpose of this reform is to determine the title system in the military.
In the last reform, although the Han army has determined the number of troops and horses under each general, for example, a partial general has a thousand people, a battle leader has 500 people, etc., but at the level of heavy generals, this
The organization of the army was still a bit confusing, so Li Xingchen planned to imitate the system of the Tang and Song Dynasties and give each army a name, in other words, a number similar to that of a group army.
Since the Navy has a small number of people, it is naturally a priority for adaptation and will be used as a pilot project.
According to the region, the navy has been divided into the Beiyang Fleet, the Nanyang Fleet and the Inland River Fleet. As the name suggests, each fleet is responsible for different areas. The Beiyang Fleet is bounded by the estuary of the river, and the areas are delimited to the south and north. The Nanyang Fleet is
Qi Xin will lead the fleet, while the Beiyang Fleet will be led by Qiu Zhidong. As for the naval forces within the mouth of the Dajiang River, including Dajiang, Huai River, Yunmeng, Poyang and other places, the naval forces on the rivers and lakes will be led by Jiang Xian.
The army will also complete such a reorganization in the next few months. According to the number of soldiers and horses under each general's command, Li Xingchen will personally give names to them.
It has been determined that the southern Xinjiang army that has just made great achievements is called the Zhenlin Army. There is also a small episode. Originally, the Army wanted to call it the "Zhenhai Navy". It felt that it was more domineering, but the Navy immediately objected.
Having just given up, the name Zhenlin Army, as its name suggests, naturally commends this army for its contribution in guarding the south and pacifying Linyi.
The Han army in Huainan was reorganized into the Yangwu Army, and the Han army in Huaixi was reorganized into the Zhenyue Army, which means that one of the two groups of troops attacked and the other defended, which was the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty on the two Huaihe Rivers.
The Han army in Nanyang was reorganized into the Yingyang Army, the Han army in Chang'an was reorganized into the Tiger Wing Army, and the Han army in Hetao was reorganized into the Fenwu Army. These three armies will be the main force of the Han Dynasty to attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty from the west and north.
The Han army in the northwest was reorganized into the bandit army, and the Han army in the south was reorganized into the Pingman army, indicating that their main goal was to defeat the bandits to the west and south respectively, and to open up territory for the Han Dynasty.
Of course, although the bodyguards of the Han Dynasty are also recognized as the most powerful army in the Han Dynasty, there is nothing anyone can do if they are not convinced. Although they are still called the Imperial Guards to the outside world, in the internal documents of the Taiwei Mansion, the name "Dragon" is used.
The code name "Xiang" means that this is the weapon that the true dragon emperor relies on to soar through the nine heavens.
After the military number is decided, the number of soldiers and horses in each army must be adjusted. According to the plan of the Taiwei Mansion, these tasks will be completed within the year.
Since the Han Dynasty has begun a new round of military reform and has set a time limit, it goes without saying that after this military reform is completed, a new war will begin.
The war in the south has come to an end, now it’s time to go north!
Qi Xin took a deep breath and watched Luo Yi quickly walk onto the warship with the musketeers who had been dispatched to the north.
The Zhenlin Army is still reorganizing, and there shouldn't be any big moves in the short term. After all, even if you want to attack Funan and Zhenla, you have to have an excuse. The imperial envoy is still on the way.
But that doesn't mean that the navy can only watch helplessly.
It's time to make a scene.
The eighth day of the eighth month of the third year of the New Year of the Han Dynasty.
Outside the dock to the north of Jiankang Mansion, there was a sea of people.
A huge warship was pushed out of the dock and slid into the river bit by bit.
The river was divided by the huge hull, and the wide river seemed a little narrow in front of this warship. The high-raised mast on the ship clearly told the craftsmen inside and outside the dock and the people watching the excitement that this was not a ship that could only
A warship sailing in an inland river is a giant ship that belongs to the sea and the distance.
The gunports on the ship were opened one after another, and each cannon shone brightly in the early autumn sunshine.
"Fire the cannon!" Wang Chang stood on the bow of the warship but had to be stopped by a group of civil servants. Otherwise, it would have been His Majesty standing on the bow at this time, and it would not have been his turn.
The artillery on the ship's side fired one after another, and this time it was of course a salute with little lethality. The shells were short-fuse shells that would explode on their own after being fired not far away, and would not harm the crowds on the shore in the distance.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of cannons roared on the river, and water spray and smoke filled the air.
The common people and craftsmen held their breaths, listening to the thunder-like sound of the cannon.
Li Xingchen stood at the top of the viewing platform and also held his breath.
The sound of the cannons dissipated, the giant ship lowered its sails, cut through the waves and sailed forward.
Cheers immediately flooded both sides of the river.
Li Xingchen took a breath.
What an honor it is to listen to the sound of cannons from 1,500 years ago.
On the bank of the river, fallen leaves were falling.
