1068 Border Defense Legion Corps (1/2)

Chapter 1068 – Border Defense Legion Corps

After settling the Dali matter, next was Korea, Nanzhang, and Zhenla.

First up was Korea.

”Split Korea into two prefectures and merge them into the Beijiang Province. The governing area will shift from Stone City to Seoul.”

The original Beijiang Province only had Zhangwu and Fengtian Prefectures, so it did not live up to the name of being a province. Along with the addition of Korea, the province became huge and became a super province of Great Xia's in the north.

As for moving the governing area, it was naturally to weaken Wufu's influence in Stone City. Ouyang Shuo did not need to say it outright and everyone present understood.

Next would be the army arrangements of Beijiang Province.

Not long after the Battle of Korea ended, Li Jing led the Bear Legion Corps back to the Shu Lands. The Huo Qubing led Guards Legion Corps also returned to the Capital City a few days ago.

Only the Beijiang formation was defending Beijiang.

”Beijiang is not stable and needs large amounts of troops stationed there!” Ouyang Shuo said as a result.

North of Beijiang Province was the Jin Country that entered the wilderness not long ago. The south side was not only connected to Handan City, but also largely with Jingdu Prefecture.

If nothing went wrong, the Great Qing emperor would be the one moving into Jingdu.

Ouyang Shuo did not forget that the Qing Dynasty Manchu race was actually the same bloodline as the Jin Country Nuzhen Race. Once the Great Qing emperor moved into Jingdu, them joining hands with Jin Country was natural.

When that happened, Beijiang Province that was stuck between both of them would be in big trouble. Furthermore, with Handan City stirring waves, even if Nanjiang Province had two teleportation formations, it would still be difficult.

He could not just teleport armies over once things happen, right?

Hence, Ouyang Shuo decided, ”We need to take down Jin Country before the Great Qing emperor moves in to remove this cancer in case we are surrounded by enemies.”

To wipe out Jin Country, they needed an army.

During the Battle of Korea, especially in the Battle of Seoul, both sides had a really intense battle and suffered heavy casualties. Post battle calculations showed that there were 300 thousand war prisoners left after making up for the losses.

Choosing the best of them, they could form four War Fighting Legions.

Ouyang Shuo looked toward Du Ruhui and said, ”Move three-quarters of them into the Beijiang formation.”

”Then wouldn't the Beijiang formation have five legions, similar to a legion corps? Wouldn't it be not fitting of a formation and should be promoted to a legion corps?” Du Ruhui questioned.

The military had its own rules and what to call a unit was often set in stone and was extremely important.

Since the Beijiang Formation was a formation, it was lower than a legion corps. If one gave it five legions of troops and not the corresponding status, the soldiers and generals would be unhappy about it.

When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he was put on the spot.

Based on Ouyang Shuo's plan, there was a limited number of titles for the Great Xia legion corps. The direct legion corps included the Guards Legion Corps, the Household Legion Corps, the Palace Guards that had not be formed as well as the City Protection Legion Corps.

The War Fighting Legion corps would include the dragon, tiger, leopard, eagle, and bear for a total of nine.

Nine was a really balanced number.
