On the autumn of this year, on August 23, Zhu Youxiao officially appointed his fifth brother Zhu Youjian as King of Xin, and sent British Duke Zhang Weixian to maintain his rituals. The chief minister of the cabinet was solemn and enthroned, and all officials paid tribute to the east wing outside the Huangji Gate.

Zhu Youjian was twelve years old and was indeed at the age of being the king, but the fiefdom was not decided. Princes of the Ming Dynasty were all appointed as kings first, and then went to the fiefdom to become vassal after getting married. Just the day after Zhu Youjian was named King Xin, Zhu Youxiao sent him to the ten kings' mansion outside the imperial city to live.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was a Xibei product, so he didn't have much feelings for his younger brother. But it might be out of guilt or guilt, so Zhu Youxiao chose to treat his younger brother well in material terms. After Zhu Youjian moved to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian to give him 50,000 yuan to King Xin to serve as pocket money.

Zhu Youxiao sent out this younger brother from the Forbidden City, and he was much more at ease. He also wished him peace of mind and enjoy his life happily, so he would not come to the muddy waters of the late Ming Dynasty politics. When the situation stabilized, he would find a more prosperous fiefdom for him to avoid being held in a small town.

The vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty had no worries about food and clothing, but in order to prevent the vassal kings from launching a coup, these vassal kings could not leave the city where their fiefdom was located after they became vassals.

Therefore, these vassal kings are equivalent to being in jail. At most, they can stand on the city wall to look at the wind, so many of the vassal kings who have been enfeeded to small places have been mentally unhealthy and even their personality is distorted. However, those vassal kings who have been enfeeded to a more prosperous city will have much more mental health. After all, if a city is more prosperous, there are many ways to eat, drink and play, and there are many cities. There are many places to wander around. Naturally, the personality is much more normal.

At present, Zhu Youxiao will naturally not change such a system stupidly. This system of eating and waiting for shit is very good! It eliminates the hidden dangers of coups!

Zhu Youjian was much more at ease when he sent Zhu Youjian out of the Forbidden City and immediately began to seize military actions in an attempt to counterattack Liaodong as soon as possible.

First, establish cavalry, second, establish garrison brigades of each province, and third, form artillery troops.

The cavalry will form another 30,000 cavalry, plus the 6,000 cavalry formed in Liaodong, as well as the original two cavalry divisions. The force will reach 42,000.

The Cavalry Division expanded its troops, from 3,000 people to one division before, to 5,000 people to one division, and 42,000 cavalry will form 8 cavalry divisions, with numbers ranging from 015 to 023 Divisions. At the same time, 4 divisions will form one army, forming the "Tengxiang Cavalry Army" and the "Wuxiang Cavalry Army". Li Wei and Wang Guoxiong were promoted to commanders, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry were in the army-level organization. As long as the two cavalry armies were formed, the Ming Dynasty would regain a powerful cavalry unit.

The garrison brigade was a plan discussed by the Supreme Command to suppress internal rebellion. That is, a garrison brigade was established in Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and Sichuan provinces.

The garrison mixed brigade is a local garrison force with mixed troops, mainly used to suppress local rebellions. Each brigade has a force of about 5,000, infantry, and cavalry of about 1,000, and at the same time equipped with several infantry artillery. With such a combination of troops, combined with excellent equipment and strict training, there is no problem in suppressing local rebellions.

"Your Majesty, this is the recruitment plan for this time. The quota for this recruitment is 65,000. The recruitment system is still adopted. Priority is given to recruiting from border towns, and a group of recruiting from various provinces." Sun Chuantinghui reported. Zhu Youxiao took over the plan and read it, and then said: "We will recruit soldiers according to this plan. However, more soldiers can be recruited from Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Each division must arrange some soldiers from different provinces to enhance friendship."

"I obey the order." Sun Chuanting took the order.

This recruitment is mainly recruited from the border troops. After all, hundreds of thousands of border troops are like time bombs. They are first absorbing the essence of the troops and adapting them. The remaining unqualified soldiers will be arranged to officially transfer to their jobs in the future. However, it is not possible to have only northern soldiers in the army. There must be a group of soldiers from various southern provinces to let the soldiers of the north and south provinces understand each other and develop friendship, so as not to bring the confrontation between the north and the south into the army.

Opposition and hatred between the north and the south are the stupidest behavior. The difference between the north and the south of China is actually the best complement to each other. If China wants to become a real big country, it will not be possible without any side.

Moreover, the southern soldiers fought in the north and their combat effectiveness was still very good. For example, during the Korean War, many Liaodong soldiers ran away, but because the southern soldiers were too far away from home, few of them ran away. At the same time, the Qi family army was mainly composed of southern soldiers.

Sun Chuanting then continued to report: "The plan for the formation of the artillery troops is to establish five artillery regiments. The artillery battalion equipped with heavy ten-jin cannons was adapted into a 'Strategic Artillery regiment', and four more artillery regiments were formed, which were equipped with new ten-jin cannons developed by the Royal Military Factory, and each regiment was equipped with 72 field artillery guns."

"Implement this plan according to this plan." Zhu Youxiao passed this artillery formation plan. There are two versions of the ten-jin cannon developed by the Royal Military Factory.

One is the 1500-jin-level ten-jin cannon that was put into use in the suppression of the Wenxiang Cult army, with an effective range of 3 kilometers. This extremely heavy ten-jin cannon is obviously not suitable for use as a field cannon, but it is a very good choice for siege, so a strategic artillery regiment will be formed to specifically be responsible for siege and capture the village.

The newly developed ten-jin cannon weighs 466 jin and has an effective range of 900 meters. It is obviously very suitable as a field cannon. It can be installed on a four-wheeler and can quickly transfer on the battlefield.

The field artillery regiment will also be equipped with a large number of horses, not only to pull artillery, but also provide the artillery with horses to ride, which can also be understood as "cavalry artillery", and thus obtain sufficient mobility on the battlefield so that it can keep up with the footsteps of the infantry and provide firepower support for the infantry.

Starting from the autumn of this year, the cavalry, artillery, and garrison mixed brigades of the Central Military Region were all being formed quickly, and it is expected that a certain combat effectiveness will be formed in one year.

At the same time, the Royal Military Academy and the Royal Academy of Sciences have also begun to recruit students in large quantities.

The first one to form was the garrison mixed brigade, which directly drew troops from various infantry divisions and cavalry divisions to form. Six garrison brigades were quickly sent to the provinces to focus on clearing local bandits and bandits. The infantry divisions sent by Zhu Youxiao were summoned one by one to the capital to continue training.

After some action, the Central Military Region will soon have 14 infantry divisions, 8 cavalry divisions, and 4 artillery regiments, and its strength will increase to 200,000. (To be continued...)
