Li Jing stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the king, I have something to do!"...

"Because the new first division is built, the defense of the country's army needs to be improved. I suggest the implementation of the general rotation system..." Li Jing told the matter that had been discussed and decided by Yang Song at the court meeting from beginning to end.

Of course, the reason for the rotation system cannot be said so clearly. The reason is that there are as many as possible, but the rest of the officials who heard it know what these are for!

"Approve the report from Li Qing." As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, Yang Song encouraged him before he could respond, and then ordered: "... I will grant Lieutenant General Qi Jiguang the rank of Major General Sun Chengzong, and Major General Xiang Chen's army!"

After thanking the three on behalf of the three, Yang Song continued to order: "Order the First Division to station the north, the Second Division to station the northwest, the Third Division to station the west, and the Fourth Division to station Yongsheng City outside the pass. Order the Navy's defensive fleet to station Ninghai City!"

The First Division is a standard infantry division with a total of 46,500 people. It is stationed in the area where the bridge originally had a cross-river bridge. It is necessary to strictly guard against forces north of the boundary river.

The Second Division is also a standard infantry division with a total of 46,500 people. The middle reaches of the Border River stationed in the northwest is the area where the Bazi united. It was in this section that the Border River began to flow from south to north to eastward.

Because the Third Division was to station in the western mountainous areas, it had a total of 46,500 people, and this place was an important place on the plateau west of the Jiehe River, so it would draw important personnel from each division, most of the city guards, and a mountain division reorganized.

The Fourth Division was stationed in the middle of a large area of ​​land outside the pass, and was adapted from the original cavalry division, with a total of 45,300 people.

The fourth-level division changed from the original five cavalry regiments to two, the rest were three standard infantry regiments and two artillery battalions. They would provide offensive support to all parties with their powerful maneuver power.

As for the Ninghai City, which Yang Song set up the navy's main defensive fleet, it was on the coastline southeast of the east and south of the entrance of the Jiehe River. It was a sea-line city and the original location of a baron-led castle on this land.

Linhai City is only more than 210 kilometers away from the entrance of the Jiehe River. With an average speed of five knots per hour in the naval fleet, it only takes more than 20 hours and can reach the Jiehe River in less than a day.

Moreover, Yang Song included the infantry regiment of the Imperial Guards who followed the Navy to fight into the navy sequence and established a Marine Corps with 8,400 men!

It turned out that Xiang Chen, the commander of the First Regiment of the Imperial Guard, was appointed as the commander of the Marine Corps by Yang Song because he also had the experience of leading the army and the navy in joint combat.

The Marine Corps of a Standard Infantry Regiment was also stationed in Ninghai City, doing ground support and landing training in order to launch an attack or defend against the outside world at any time.

Of course, after this defense zone layout, the divisions of the entire army carried out a major integration, disrupting the vassals of officers and soldiers of each division.

After Yang Song ordered the deployment of defense areas of each division, he began to appoint generals from each defense area and his chief of staff.

"Appoint Qi Jiguang as the commander of the First Division and Lu Su as the chief of staff!"

"Appoint Di Qing as the commander of the Second Division and Liu Qi as the chief of staff!"

"Appoint Zhang Wei as the commander of the Third Division and Sun Chengzong as the chief of staff!"

"Appoint Huo Qubing as the commander of the Fourth Division and Wu Yi as the chief of staff!"

"Appoint Yan Ren as the Director of the Military Department's Guards Department, responsible for leading the city guards across the country!"...

The reason why Zhang Wei from the Guard Office was transferred to the Third Division as the commander of the Mountain Division was because he valued Zhang Wei's rich experience in mountain combat.

The Fourth Heavy Equipment Division, which was transformed by the Cavalry Division, was led by Huo Qubing, because of Huo Qubing's offensiveness and his experience in commanding the cavalry. Anyway, the entire army has undergone a major integration, so there is no need to worry about anything else.

The Imperial Guards still selected elite troops from the entire army to supplement them, so that they could regain a heavy equipment division with a size of 45,300 people, and Zhou Wu was still in charge.

Yang Song's other personal army, the Jinyiwei, was stationed in various armies as a military police, because in addition to serving as Yang Song's guards and relying on the escorts of the palace.

Therefore, with the expansion of the army and Yang Song's demand, the Jinyiwei also strengthened it, from a group of 8,500 people in multiple regiments to a total of 10,000 people today.

Also due to the expansion of the Xia army, the duties of the city guards have also changed. In addition to guarding the places, the city guards also had to guard important places, and also had to go on the battlefield in person when the remaining troops were not enough during the war, so that a half-military and half-administrative force would be used as an army.

Now, with the expansion of Xia State's territory, the city guards must perform their "duty job" and garrison in various places, acting as "city guards" instead of going to war.

However, after all, the city guards also have the word "military". As long as they are still a military institution, they must be under the jurisdiction of the military department. However, the local chief executive also has the authority to use it. The organization is also a standard division.

If the local chief executive wants to use the city guards, he must apply to the Guards Department. The chief executive only has the power to use, but does not have the command power, and the command power has always been in the Military Department.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the Guard Office will agree. If it does not agree and causes significant losses to local people, the responsibility will definitely be on the Guard Office.

On the contrary, if the local county prefect, the county magistrate uses the city guards and causes heavy losses to the city guards, or causes significant losses to the people, the responsibility must be to apply for the city guards, except for the command issues.

After the city guards "returned to their own duties", the greater the energy they can use in the local area, which is more conducive to local stability, especially in the area occupied by the Xia Kingdom.

In terms of the navy, in addition to the main fleet of Xia Kingdom, it has a defensive fleet of one super battleship, two battleships, three fast battleships, six cruise ships, six destroyers, twelve frigates, and nine supply ships, stationed outside Ninghai City.

The defensive fleet had only three supply ships in its organization. Because the construction plan for the offensive fleet was cancelled, it was found that the supply ships were not enough when used, so six were added, turning them into nine today, so it could support the long-term voyage of the entire fleet for a long time.

The Navy also has a fleet of exploration, which has one fast battleship, two cruise ships, three destroyers, and three supply ships. The fleet's stationed in the naval port is still in the naval port, and its main task is to explore the outer seas.

Yang Song did not give up on exploring the outer seas. The existence of the "New World" is certain. He does not believe that there is no other continent in this world that is larger than the original earth.

The existing continents alone are not enough to fill the world. With the inference of astronomer Yang Zhongfu and geographer Xu Xiake in the institute, it is judging from the aspects of climate, ocean currents, offshore storms, etc. that there must be other continents in this world!

However, there are huge risks in the offshore seas. Generally, the exploration fleet is just a simple matter. This is also Yang Song's order. Although it is good to have the spirit of adventure, no necessary losses can be avoided.

Because talents in the navy are not so easy to obtain, unlike the army, the navy takes time to accumulate. Even if it has a Naval Academy, it can only train some basic officers because it is still in its inception.
