So of course Li Xiang's reaction after hearing that Li Xiang arrived in Yizhou in person was impossible to know at this time, and Li Xiang is currently in the Hanzhong camp.
In troubled times, the military is always the top priority and is the most important guarantee of Li Xiang's power.
Therefore, after Li Xiang came to Hanzhong, the first thing he did was not only pay a private visit incognito and catch Yizhou officials off guard, but the next thing he did was to inspect the military camp.
The soldiers of Yizhou and Nanzhou will become the main force in the southern battle. It is even a slight exaggeration to say that they will determine whether Li Xiang can unify the world in the future.
Hanzhong Daying is said to be a camp, but in fact it is a mountain city. The city wall runs along the ridge, around the mountain ridge and around the canyon. It is built along the mountain slope. The city wall is made of stacked rocks of different sizes. The wall is about four meters wide. There is a city gate at the entrance of the mountain, and the valley is the pass, so it is called Guanmen Village.
The Hanzhong Camp is stationed here, with a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses. Li Xiang established this battalion purely as a mobile force and can be transferred to various places at any time. It is not used as the main defense force in various places.
The main garrison forces in various places are responsible for the soldiers and horses of each state.
If a war breaks out in a place and support is urgently needed, if the soldiers and horses from various states need support, they need to consider how many soldiers and horses they need to mobilize so as not to affect their local defense.
But the soldiers and horses in these large camps don't have to think so much. They only need the food and logistics to be in place, and they can set off at any time.
Lantian Camp, Guangwu Camp, Hanzhong Camp, Beidi Camp, and Yinchuan Camp. The presence of these five adults' troops is enough to reach all the territories under Li Xiang's control. No matter which direction a problem is discovered, the soldiers and horses of the nearest camp can provide them with timely support.
Only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Hanzhong camp were former Jin army elites, 30,000 soldiers and horses were newly recruited soldiers, and the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses were composed of former Shu army prisoners.
When Li Xiang led his people to the outside of the mountain city, the mountain city defenders received the news and lined up to greet him. The generals of the three armies, with their armors shining and bright, saluted Li Xiang on his mount.
"See Your Majesty!"
"All the generals are dead!"
The three generals Hu Luguang, Gao Changgong, and Wang Ben stood in the front row, with Hu Luguang as the leader, the other two as deputy, and behind them were the partial generals, Zhonglang generals, school captains and other minor officials.
Originally, Wang Ben was already pretty good in terms of qualifications. In terms of merit, although he was not as good as other generals, he had saved some, and it was his turn to take over.
However, Wang Jian has been promoted to the acting governor of Yizhou, so Wang Ben naturally has to wait for a while.
If Wang Ben is also brought up and promoted to a general of a certain battalion, then the power between the Wang family and his son will be huge!
Therefore, Wang Ben calmed down!
Although the Hanzhong camp is within Yizhou, the troops and horses of these five camps are independent of the garrison troops and horses of the various states. In wartime situations, unless the situation is critical, the governors of each state have the power to temporarily mobilize their respective troops. In addition, there is no subordinate relationship between the governors of various states and the soldiers and horses of each battalion.
Therefore, even if the generals of each battalion are not as lofty as the governors of various states, they still hold real power, at least in actual status, their status is no worse than that of deputy governors.
While Wang Jian had already become the governor of Yizhou, Wang Ben was the least likely to become the general of the Hanzhong camp. He could barely become the deputy general of the first battalion.
"Have the three armies been reorganized?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Hanzhong camp has 100,000 men and horses. Please give your Majesty's command!" Hu Luguang replied with clasped fists.
Li Xiang nodded. Since the Hanzhong camp's establishment of 100,000 troops has been filled again, it means that the post-war military recovery and construction issues have remained within the planned schedule.
"According to this model, there are three branches, and each of you three will receive one. They will strengthen training every day. Physical fitness, riding and archery, swordsmanship, fighting, and rock climbing are all required. The military pay will be increased by 30%, which will be used as food for all soldiers. Rewards and pensions, when I return from Nanzhou and pass through Hanzhong again, I will conduct a military exercise to see the rankings of the three armies. The winner will be rewarded heavily!" Li Xiang took out a manual and handed it over Hu Luguang said.
There are many people under Li Xiang who can train troops. Wu Qi, Yue Fei, Zhuge Liang and others all have certain experience in this aspect. Of course, those who can be famous generals all have certain military training abilities, it is just a matter of high or low.
This manual was compiled by Li Xiang by combining the training methods of his generals and some modern techniques.
Today, Li Xiang has reached more than 100 points in commanding, and he also has his own unique insights in military affairs. Combining the strengths of all parties, it is not difficult to finally figure out a method of training troops!
Of course, after all, it has not been practiced yet, and Li Xiang will not rashly promote it to the entire army. This time, he will use Hanzhong Camp as a pilot first, and wait until he returns to Sizhou after inspecting Yizhou and Nanzhou. , will definitely pass by Hanzhong again, and then it will be time for him to verify the results.
If the results are really significant, then the next step will be to promote it to the entire army.
"Yes!" The three generals clasped their fists and accepted the order, secretly working hard to win the next military exercise.
Next, Li Xiang inspected the Hanzhong camp and saw that many new troops had incomplete armor and outdated equipment. It should not be said that they are backward, as most of them use old equipment left over from the previous Shu army.
"Your Majesty, the military is being expanded in various places now, and armament manufacturing is difficult. Priority is given to supplying the four western and northern states, so it will take time to replace equipment in other places." Wei Yang seemed to have noticed Li Xiang's thoughts, and stepped forward to explain softly.
Just like what he said, in order to complete the army recovery and construction plan set by Li Xiang before, various places not only eliminated a small number of the old, weak, sick and disabled, but then recruited on a large scale to restore the size of the troops in various places. The gap in weapons and equipment is too large, and it is naturally difficult to supply them in a short time.
It's not that the Jin army can't equip its soldiers with equipment, but it takes time. Even manufacturing such a huge batch of weapons and equipment would take time.
Since the gap is too large to supply all places at once, priority will naturally be given to Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Xizhou and Hezhou where wars are still taking place.
Of course, in order to form the White Robe Army, the pace of this matter was also slowed down.
The equipment and armor of elite troops are different from those of ordinary troops, and they all need to be carefully crafted. Since Li Xiang wanted to bring the White Robes with him on his southern tour, the Craftsman Institute gave priority to helping the White Robes reorganize, and further postponed the replacement of equipment and armor for each state.
