Chapter 1277 – World Map Reset

Along with the completion of the eight warzones, the defensive regions of each legion corps was settled. This was especially so for the Jingji and Zhongyuan provinces, which were specific till the province level.

That was beneficial to the legion corps, legion, and division level headquarters building.

Once this round of military disarmament was completed, Great Xia's main land would enter a defensive period. If nothing went wrong, war would fade from the lives of the mid plains.

A stable internal environment would be created, which was beneficial to their internal politics and industrialization.

Furthermore, the completion of the eight warzones helped to draw a huge map of the Empire.

For the future period of time, Great Xia would use this map and strengthen internally while expanding outward. They would raise their authority in the world while trying to upgrade to imperial dynasty.

After an entire year, Great Xia had completed the first requirement, unifying China.

In the 8th year, the Empire would turn its eyes to the entire Asia to try to complete the second requirement and become the Overlord of Asia. Achieving that position would allow them to go for the final push for the highest throne.

...

12th month, 27th day.

Coordinating with the eight warzones, the Imperial Court adjusted the ranks of the generals.

There were three Grade 1 commander in chiefs, Baiqi, Han Xin, and Li Jing.

There were five Grade 1 Great Generals, namely Sun Bin, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Wuqi, and Zheng He. Guards Legion Corps marshal and Imperial Palace Guards Marshal Huo Qubing and Xu Da were dropped from the Great General rank.

There were three Grade 2 Duke Generals, Biaoqi General Huo Qubing, Cheqi General Xu Da, and Guardian General Xu Chu.

There were three Grade 2 military generals, Fujun General Zhou Yu, Middle General Shi Lang, and Top General Yanhuo Yaonie. These three were all navy Fleet Admirals and were worthy of their positions.

There were two Grade 2 protector generals, Er'Lai and Shi Wanshui. They were both top generals and were greatly trusted by Ouyang Shuo. They had served the Empire for a long time.

The Grade 2 Zhongnan General was Yashan Squadron Fleet Admiral Yu Dayou.

Apart from them, Binhai Squadron Fleet Admiral Qin Jiguang was awarded Grade 2 ocean protector general.

There were four Grade 2 conquering generals, east conquering general Li Xiucheng, south conquering general Zuo Zongtang, west conquering general Li Shiji, and north conquering general Guo Ziyi; they were marshals of the Empire's four strategic directions.

There were four Grade 2 protector generals, east protector Yue Fei, south protector Zhang Han, west protector Meng Tian, and north protector Chen Yucheng; they were the marshals of the warfighting legion corps defending the four directions.

Next would be the Grade 3 generals.

Grade 3 army leading general was Imperial Palace Female Guards commander Hua Mulan.

There were four Grade 3 peacekeeping generals, the east peacekeeping general Zhang Xutuo, south peacekeeping general Fan Lihua, west peacekeeping general Shu Dakai, and north peacekeeping general Chang Yuchun; they were the four marshals of the Border Defense legion corps in the four directions.

There were four Grade 3 suppressing generals, east suppressing general Zhan Lang, south suppressing general Yang Su, west suppressing general Zhou Junji, and north suppressing general Xue Rengui; they were the marshals of the attack-minded border legion corps.

Next would be some generals with random titles; they would not be detailed.

At this point, before the 8th year of Gaia's arrival, Great Xia had used the disarmament to change and reorganize the military, adjusting the warzones and military ranks. They had completed a top to bottom remodeling.

In the 8th year of Gaia, the Privy Court would establish eight logistical hubs to provide the eight warzones with logistical services to reduce their reliance on laborers.

Before this, the Privy Court Combat Logistics Department only created a war-based logistical station and not a large-scale base. Every time a war happened, they would utilize a lot of laborers to transport resources to the frontline.

This was a total remodeling, a massive masterstroke.

Each logistical hub would service one warzone. For example, the Zhongyuan warzone logistical hub would be in Luoyang.

For this, Ouyang Shuo gave the Privy Court the right to select 320 thousand people from those disarmed to build the logistical squads.

This course of action could also help them save a sum of retirement fees.

The planned logistical hub would not only provide rations but also armor, weapons, war horses, firearms, ammunition, siege weapons, and more.

Hence, the planned logistical hubs, apart from warehouses, would have factories, breeding grounds, and other families; this was a really complicated and systemized logistical group.

Servicing the hub, apart from the logistics soldiers, would be paid workers; together, they would form a huge industrial group.

This was another way the Empire was promoting industrialization.

Looking at recent history, war had a huge use in promoting industrialization.

One could foresee the complications of building such a system. As a result, Ouyang Shuo did not start this right away and pushed the matter to the 8th year of Gaia.
