Luozhou, Douzhou, and Bianzhou, which is separated from Gaozhou, are close to the Yunkai Mountains and have always been occupied by Zhuxi Dong barbarians, making them very difficult to control.

Douzhou was originally within the Chen family's sphere of influence, but the Chen family now has no control over it.

However, Feng Ang thought about it carefully and felt that this exchange was not bad. Baizhou was originally the sphere of influence of the Ning family, and Douzhou was originally the sphere of influence of the Chen family.

Relatively speaking, Baizhou is isolated to the west of Yunkai Mountain, while Douzhou is close to Gaoliang. If the Chen family wipes out the Douzhou barbarians, it will threaten the core of Feng family's Gaoliang.

Now Baizhou is replaced by Douzhou. Although Douzhou still has to be fought, Gaoliang will be more stable after it is defeated.

The Feng family did not lose from this transaction.

It doesn't matter if the four Yazhou prefectures are separated. The imperial court had previously established the Yazhou Governor's Office, which was held by the descendants of the Xian family. Although it was also affiliated to the Gaofu, now the four prefecture governors of Yazhou, the court had given two more to the Feng family.

A pretty good deal.

"The Prime Ministers Wu, Luo, Dou, and the Xitong barbarians in the three states will raise their troops to rebel in the next year, fearing that there will be a big chaos. How will the court arrange it?" Feng Ang asked.

"The three states of Luo Doubian are now under the jurisdiction of the Gaozhou Governor's Office. If the Xitong barbarians in the three states rebel, the Gaozhou Governor's Office will naturally be responsible for suppressing them. Don't worry, Mr. Feng. The imperial court is reorganizing Lingnan this time and establishing six governor's offices.

Each governor's office will be garrisoned by one or two armies, such as the Qing Navy in Guangzhou, the Ningyuan Army in Rongzhou, the Jingjiang Army in Guizhou, the Jing Navy in Jiaozhou, the Jianwu Army in Yongzhou, and the Yongning Army in Gaozhou.

Jinghai, Jingjiang, Qinghai, Jianwu, Yongning, Ningyuan, six bugles.

The imperial plan was that each army would be divided into left and right groups, each with 5,000 men, for a total of 30,000 men. The imperial court would dispatch 15,000 men from the Central Plains to garrison in Lingnan, and then deploy 15,000 men from the current armed forces under the governors and governors of Lingnan.

People, reorganized with soldiers dispatched by the imperial court,

After these 30,000, the Central Army will be stationed in Lingnan, and another 30,000 soldiers and horses from various states will be organized into the Lingnan Regiment to train local soldiers.

Except for these 60,000 people, the rest of the troops will be sent back to the fields one after another.

According to this plan, the Gaozhou Governor's Mansion, that is, the Yongning Army, will have an establishment of 5,000 troops, with the left and right armies having 2,000 troops each, a Yajun Army with 1,000 troops, and another 5,000 rural troops.

The imperial court will send Yongning Army envoys to lead the five thousand Yongning Army. Among them, Yongning Yabing and Gaozhou Governor can also command.

The five thousand united rural soldiers were commanded by the eight governors of Gaozhou Governor's Office, with five hundred in each state, and one thousand returned to the governor's command.

Feng Ang heard this and asked, "If we organize it according to this, then there will be only 5,000 regular soldiers in the eight states of Gaofu, plus 5,000 rural soldiers, a total of only 10,000 troops. Luo Dou argued that if the barbarians in the three states rebelled

, no less than one hundred thousand, ten thousand versus one hundred thousand, difficult.”

"The imperial court is also aware of the issue Mr. Feng mentioned," Huaiyu smiled.

"The imperial court's plan is to establish another unified military office in Lingnan, and two statistical offices within each governor's office, for a total of twelve offices, with 1,200 people in each office."

These are 14,400 soldiers. These soldiers will not be selected locally in Lingnan, but in Zhongyuan. Then they will come to Lingnan and bring their families with them. After arriving in Lingnan, they will be stationed in several places.

The important land on the edge of the city of the governor's palace was divided into fields and granted, and forts were built to station troops.

These government soldiers are different in nature from the previous six armies.

The six armies belong to the border town army. They are also drawn from the government soldiers. In addition to taking turns guarding the border in Lingnan, the government soldiers in Lingnan do not need to go to Beijing. However, if there is a big war, they will be called up.

Chosen.

Therefore, these 14,000 soldiers from the Four Prefectures are stationed in Lingnan. If there is any major rebellion in Lingnan, they can be called into battle at any time.

"It's still not enough." Feng An shook his head.

"There are municipal shipping departments in Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Qinzhou. The imperial court will set up naval patrols in these three places, each with 3,000 people. In addition, there will be a coastal patrol department along the coast with 3,000 people."

Another eighteen thousand,

They will all be transferred from the imperial court, and they are naval forces. There is a long coastal line in Lingnan. These 18,000 people are patrolling the sea and inspecting the coast. They are also a strategic mobile force. They can also be reinforced if needed inland. After all,

Lingnan waterways are also smooth and convenient.

Feng An silently calculated in his mind that the six armies of the Dudu Mansion were transferred from the central government with 15,000, the Tongjun Mansion with 12 superiors had 14,400, and now there are three patrol navy with 9,000 and three coastal patrol departments.

Another nine thousand,

Forty-seven thousand and four, Feng An was secretly alarmed when he got this figure. There were still fifteen thousand locally selected border troops and thirty thousand rural soldiers. The imperial court had a lot of troops in Lingnan.

Even if the 14,000 government troops overlap with the border army, the regular army of the imperial court is no better armed than Lingnan.

If all these soldiers and horses are in place, there will be no fear of Xidian rebellion, and even powerful chiefs like them will have to be afraid.

"Actually, Lingnan is remote and very hot. If many troops from the Central Plains are not acclimated to the climate, the rebellion of Luo Dou and Tuo barbarians will not be possible. They just occupied the dangerous mountains and forests for a while and were arrogant. The states in Lingnan mobilized troops to form a crusade.

It is not difficult to pacify them. I am willing to pacify them myself. If the court trusts me, Zhi Dai will be enough."

Feng An said.
