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.”
