Chapter 1124 – More Bad Ideas
This round of military reorganization was basically for the 400 thousand war prisoners captured during the Battle of Jin.
What needed to be made clear was that before the war, although Jin was said to have a million army, it was not that 600 thousand of them were killed. Based on the results, no more than 150 thousand of them had truly died on the battlefield.
Then where did the remaining go?
As the Jin country used a country wide conscription system, Yue Fei followed Ouyang Shuo's instructions and released the elderly, youths, and only sons back to their families, removing their armor and allowing them to go back to farming.
After removing the injured and the ones that did not meet standards, and then including the replenishments for the Beijiang legion corps and the Guards Legion Corps, in the end, he was left with 400 thousand elite prisoners.
Amongst which was the Jin Country's on alert force.
First, Ouyang Shuo filled up the West Africa legion corps, adding in three War Fighting Legions and using up 210 thousand people.
As the Jin country war prisoners were mainly cavalry and Nuzhen people, it was not good to allow them to hold abolished power in the West Africa legion corps.
Hence, before they teleported to Morocco, they would be split up into the various legion corps in the territory in exchange for other soldiers to make it easier to control them.
Along with the West Africa legion corps filling up, a batch of young generals were promoted. This included Shi Bao and Ma Xiu, who came from the Guards Legion Corps, Shao Bu from the Dragon Legion Corps, Dai Qin from the Tiger Legion Corps, and Pei Xingyan from the Bear Legion Corps.
And before this, when the Beijiang legion corps and the Hanoi legion corps were expanded, Hu Yihuang and Ma Dai from the Dragon Legion Corps and Sun Chuanlin and Liao Kai from the Leopard Legion Corps were promoted.
All of them, including Guo Liang and Jiang Kai from the Yingzhou formation, were the NPC natives that followed Ouyang Shuo from the start. Under the territory buffs and specialties, they had become King Ranked generals.
Amongst which, Lin Yi had already become Emperor Rank.
They had gone through months and years of military training and war, so their abilities were enough to lead an army.
Furthermore, these generals were really loyal to Ouyang Shuo, viewing him as their great commander. Promoting them to Legion General and throwing them into the border defense system was perfect.
After the West Africa legion corps was reorganized, Ouyang Shuo followed by upgrading the Somalia formation to East Africa legion corps. Di Qing was promoted to marshal and was awarded with the Grade 2 West conquering general rank.
The remaining 200 thousand war prisoners were all placed into the East Africa legion corps. Along with the ones from the formation, they were able to form up four legions, just one away from being filled up.
Dan Xiongxin, who was from the Somalia formation, was naturally promoted to Legion General. The remaining three were Sun Tengjiao from the Tiger Legion Corps, Ma Tie from the Leopard Legion Corps, and Heiqi.
At this point, this new round of military organization had come to an end.
Along with the West Africa legion corps reaching full strength and the East Africa legion corps nearing there, Great Xia's plan for North Africa was progressing at a fast pace. Once the organizational work was completed, the flames of war would blaze.
Seeing that it was already the 11th month, the true start of the war would probably be in the 6th year.
During this round, Ouyang Shuo did not form the 2nd legion of the Household Legion Corps, as the 1st legion was still a distance away from taking shape.
Developing and building a firearm army was a long term project and could not be rushed.
...
During that period, a small episode occurred.
After news spread that Great Xia had established the Beijiang Governor-General House and appointed Gong Chengshi, the China region players were envious and commented that he had a good life.
"Hard work is important, but following a good boss is even more important."
The original Shanhai Alliance members all followed a good boss, so they were able to reach their current heights. Gong Chengshi's status was only below Ouyang Shuo, Di Chen, and Feng Qiuhuang.
Even Xiong Ba fell behind him. Seeing such a situation, people would obviously be envious of him.
Quanzhou, some unnamed courtyard.
With the public commenting about this, one person appeared really dejected. He was Xunlong Dianxue. Originally, he could be like Gong Chengshi and become one of the most stellar presences in China.
However, he started to have doubts and left the team midway, which gave rise to his fall.
Originally, they were on the same starting line, and their relationship was like that of brothers. Now, they were as different as night and day, and the brother who followed behind him had become a presence he had to look up to.
"The heavens are playing tricks!"
Within the courtyard, a sour sigh spread out.
...
11th month, 1st day.
Regarding Great Xia's good intentions, TWP finally replied.
Their reply was similarly soft with firmness in their message. They first praised Great Xia for opening up their ports and ocean routes and expressed that it would not force TWP members or stop trade with Great Xia.
Following which, they changed their tone and said, "As a global trading organization, we have the confidence to build new global trading rules to improve global trade."
It was obvious that TWP did not lower themselves and more so were not willing to work with Great Xia.
Following which, they said, "TWP firmly protects trade freedom and would not allow any country or territory to monopolize ocean resources and break free trade."
These words were really fiery, once again launching a challenge on Great Xia's ocean authority.
Be it Jack or Silver Hand, they would not give up control of the ocean just because of one small setback and pass the power over to Great Xia.
"That was impossible!"
Within Silver Hand, although there were suggestions to bring in Great Xia, it did not mean that they could accept Great Xia ruling the oceans.
Following which, TWP released a new announcement to adjust the rules of the organization.
Compared to before, the new rules not only had more detailed terms between members, but they also showed signs of military alliances.
Of course, that was only related to the navies of each country.
The announcement said that to protect the ocean safety of the trade routes, the navies of members would work with one another to form a communication system. They said that they were doing so to crush pirates together and protect the law and order of the ocean.
Everyone could see that their main reason was not pirates but the Great Xia navy.
Out of the TWP members, Dawson Dynasty, House of Tudor, Gaule Dynasty, the Romanov Dynasty, along with Spain, Portugal, Holland, and the like were all traditional ocean powerhouses.
All these strong powers joining hands was a tough prospect for Great Xia.
Not only that, but TWP also openly announced that they would increase the navy exchange between members to increase their standards.
Hence, they would send out teaching squads to train up the navies of non-traditional navy powerhouses.
