Chapter 1211 – Demon Clearing Legion Corps Is Born
The commander of the Africa Warzone was none other than the current southwest warzone commander, Baiqi.
Baiqi was not only removed from his position as southwest warzone commander but also removed from his position as marshal of the Dragon Legion Corps.
The warzone headquarters would be built and planned by both the Privy Court and the Grand Council.
On the surface, it looked like Baiqi was being moved from the strong and powerful southwest warzone to the dilapidated Africa warzone. Furthermore, being moved away from the Dragon Legion Corp was a demotion.
However, after thinking about the strategic position of the Africa warzone in the future, no one would think that way.
The Africa warzone would be the main battlefield of the dynasty for a period of time in the future. It would also be a place where many war matters would happen. Moreover, the situation there was really chaotic and complicated, so Ouyang Shuo needed a general that he could trust.
There were people who suggested he let Wuqi be the Africa warzone commander, but Ouyang Shuo rejected the proposal.
There were two reasons behind this.
First, Wuqi had just submitted and joined Great Xia and had not won Ouyang Shuo's trust yet. To put him in the Africa warzone that was so far away from the core of the dynasty was a worrying prospect.
The further away the general was from the core area of the territory, the more Ouyang Shuo had to trust the general in question.
Secondly, there were many new generals that joined Great Xia that were appointed in the Wolf and North Africa legion corps.
If Wuqi were to take charge of the Africa warzone, the new generals and him would instinctively hug together to gain strength, which would not be good for the Imperial Court's control of the warzone.
Due to such considerations, Ouyang Shuo selected Baiqi and not Wuqi.
Of course, Wuqi's ability was undeniable. Even amongst all the God Generals, he was among the top. Due to that, Ouyang Shuo ordered him to take over the role of the southwest warzone and take the title of great general.
The southwest warzone was already stabilized. After Wuqi was appointed, he would not be able to start much problems nor could he form factions. He could only choose to merge into the Great Xia system and not have anything to do with the Xiong Ba family.
At the start, when Xiong Ba led Jiangnan Province to betray Great Zhou, Wuqi did not say anything and led the troops to follow his instructions. This was something that worried Ouyang Shuo.
Working alongside Wuqi was southwest warzone advisor Chen Gong.
Using the chance of assigning the Africa warzone an advisor, Ouyang Shuo decided to assign all the four advisors of the warzones. The southeast warzone advisor would be Fa Zheng, while the northwest warzone advisor would be Xun Yu.
With that, the Administrative Mentor Court was only left with Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, and Jushou. Out of the three, Zhang Liang strategized for the country, Jia Xu strategized for the army, and Jushou was the assigned helper to the two of them. They complemented one another.
Baiqi's role of the Dragon Legion Corps marshal was taken over by Grade 2 Nanzhong general Zhang Han who was the southwest Heluo legion corps marshal. Zhang Han's spot would be taken over by Sui Dynasty general Yang Su.
The Dragon Legion Corps was one of the top legion corps within the dynasty. Naturally, a new general could not be appointed. They had to select from one of the border legion corps marshals to help ensure the stability of the southwest warzone.
Out of all the border legion corps marshals, Zhang Han was one of the top presences and also came from Qin country like Baiqi. It was easy to calm down the Dragon Legion Corps, and the change would not cause much chaos.
As for Yang Su who took over the Heluo legion corps marshal appointment, he was not a simple person either.
Yang Su was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, which was an aristocratic family on the same level as the Pei family of Wenxi. During the north Zhou period, Yang Su was the Cheqi general. After joining in the battle to stabilize North Qi, he met Yang Jian.
After Sui Dynasty was established, Yang Su was promoted to grand censor, and he used his identity as the commander of the army to take down the Chen Dynasty. Then he helped to settle the internal bandit problem and broke into the Turkish khanate. He was then given the title of Yue Duke.
After Yang Guang ascended, Yang Su led troops to deal with the rebellion of Yang Liang and was appointed as the Chu Duke. The famous Yang Duke treasury came out from his hand.
He was an all rounded person.
At this point, the Africa warzone adjustment had come to an end.
After planning the Africa warzone, Ouyang Shuo turned his eyes back to China.
Looking back at China, the remaining four country alliance in the mid plains was not enough to threaten Great Xia. With their current numbers, they had enough to deal with them.
Ouyang Shuo was worried about the Mongol Empire in the north instead.
Especially the Beijiang Governor-General House, which was the frontline against the Mongols.
Such a huge piece of land, just the Yingzhou formation and the Beijiang legion corps were not enough to put one at ease.
Along with Great Jin submitting, Hokkaido, which was under Great Jin, was naturally merged into Yingzhou province. The two legions of the Yingzhou Formation were only enough to defend the local land.
Due to that, Ouyang Shuo decided to add a new legion corps in the Beijiang region - Phoenix legion corps, becoming the second warfighting legion corps after the wolf legion corps.
In the future, the Phoenix legion corps would defend Liaojin Province while the Beijiang legion corps defended Beijiang Province.
The marshal of the Phoenix legion corps would be the Great Jin blazing legion corps marshal Guo Ziyi. At this point, Meng Tian and Guo Ziyi, these two old Great Jin generals, held control of the wolf and phoenix legion corps, earning the envy of many.
Consequently, one could see that Ouyang Shuo's kindness toward Great Jin was different from how he treated the others.
As a proper warfighting legion corps, the choices of Legion Generals were all elites. Sui Dynasty's Yu Juluo, Great Jin's Ran Min, Ming Dynasty Feng Sheng, and Shu Han general Jiang Wei were all appointed.
The Legion Generals were all from different systems to prevent them from huddling together.
Apart from organizing Beijiang, Ouyang Shuo could not forget about Hedong Province, which was connected with the Mongol Empire. Great Xia would set up the Hedong legion corps as part of the border defense legion corps system to defend Hedong Province.
Due to current war situations, the Hedong legion corps would temporarily be under the southeast warzone.
The marshal of the Hedong legion corps would be Qing Dynasty general Zuo Zongtang. The Legion Generals were Ming Dynasty general Deng Yu and Sui Dynasty general Yu Wenshu.
In history, Zuo Zongtang led forces to conquer the west and understood the people and the geography there. Ouyang Shuo naturally allowed him to be the Hedong marshal due to that.
The newly added Phoenix and Hedong legion corps basically helped to stabilize the dynasty's defense of the northern border.
If the Mongol Empire dared to cross the border and enter the mid plains, Ouyang Shuo would definitely let Genghis Khan realize the sharpness of Great Xia's troops.
Wolf, North Africa, Phoenix, and Hedong legion corps; these four legion corps used up a total of 1.4 million troops. 890 thousand soldiers remained.
It would be too wasteful to disarm all of them.
Due to that, Ouyang Shuo decided to use this chance to build the Imperial Palace Guards that he had been saving up to complement the Guards Legion Corps.
First, their role was special.
The Dragon, Tiger, and other warfighting legion corps mainly fought external threats, while the Beijiang legion corps, the Nanjiang legion corps, and the like were border defense corps.
The Imperial Palace guards were different, and their main role would be to defend against the beast caves.
Along with the expansion of the Great Xia territory, with Capital City Shanhai City as the center, the surrounding four to five provinces had become the core of the dynasty. They were far away from the border with no safety concerns.
Once they wiped out the four country alliance, this core region would continue to expand.
The role of the Imperial Palace Guards would be to defend against the beast caves within this core region. As for those at the border provinces, the border legion corps would naturally worry about them, and they did not need a specialized Demon Clearing legion corps.
That's right, the Imperial Palace Guards were a strong Demon Clearing legion corps.
Secondly, the troop formation was special.
Due to Great Xia winning many successive wars, they had already sped up the merger of guild elites into the army. Even without Ouyang Shuo bringing the topic up, many guilds chose to be enlisted.
Everyone could see that nothing bad would happen if one tightly hugged the Great Xia tree.
Of these elite players, a large half were arranged to enter the Imperial Palace Guards. Based on the plan by the Privy Court, the combat occupation players and native soldier ratio was one-to-one.
As such, just the Imperial Palace Guards alone would take up close to 180 thousand elite combat occupation players.
Ouyang Shuo had already given word that only the pinnacle combat occupation players of China would be accepted. The normal and average ones would not be accepted.
Meanwhile, the native soldiers chosen for the Imperial Palace Guards would also be the elite of the elite. They would choose 1/13th of the 2.29 million surrendered soldiers.
There was a reason for the high standards.
Ouyang Shuo was not building the Imperial Palace Guards for only the current game world. He hoped that they would be the future vanguard army used to explore and conquer Planet Hope.
Hence, right from the start, they needed to get used to the army camp environment, learning military discipline. He also wanted them to accumulate teamwork experience in hunting beasts, which would raise their practical combat ability.
Ouyang Shuo did not share his wishes with anyone.
The marshal of the Imperial Palace Guards would be God General Xu Da who would be given the great general rank. Blood Romance and Xie Siyun, these two guild giants, would be deputy marshals and would follow beside him to learn.
The five legions had similar arrangements.
1st legion Legion General Zeng Guofan, deputy Blood Shadow Alliance guild leader Moon Shines over the River.
2nd legion Legion General Han Qinhu, deputy Tingyu Floor guild leader Jianqi Leiyin.
3rd legion Legion General Huang Zhong, deputy Streamer guild leader Bi Songxian.
4th legion Legion General Zhou Bo, deputy Fallen Leaf Alliance guild leader Fallen Dust.
The only special one would be the 5th legion, which would be directly led by Lin Jing. A really experienced general would be the deputy Legion General to help her.
As Ouyang Shuo's little aunt, he naturally had to be biased. She was also his pair of eyes in the Imperial Palace Guards to monitor the entire legion corps.
Apart from the legion level, the Major General and regiment levels had similar arrangements. Only the unit level and below would be based on the actual situation. Some would take the main role, while some would be the deputy.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo had made it known that such an arrangement was for convenience. As long as the players were skilled, the Imperial Court naturally would not set up obstacles to their road to promotion within the Imperial Palace Guards.
If someone was capable enough to replace Xu Da, Ouyang Shuo would be happy to see that.
The moment his words spread out, the players were naturally motivated and touched. They were all prideful people, and desire and ambitions rose up in their hearts. This brought an added recognition of Great Xia that was slowly forming up in them.
Ouyang Shuo's skills in playing politics was becoming invisible and traceless.
