Chapter 1276 – Eight Warzones

12th month, 25th day, a day before the winter solstice, the Great Xia Army welcomed its largest-scale adjustment ever.

Imperial decree, establishing the Jingji warzone. The Divine Martial Guards, Imperial Palace Female Guards, Jinwu Guards, Guards Legion Corps, Imperial Palace Guards, City Protection legion corps, Emperor Squadron, and Nanjiang Navy would be under the Jingji warzone. They would be in charge of defending the Jingji Region.

Specifically, the Divine Martial Guards were the personal troops of Ouyang Shuo. The Imperial Palace Female Guards defended the inner palace, the Jinwu Guards were in charge of the treasury, and the Guards Legion Corps were in charge of defending the imperial capital.

Ouyang Shuo’s Personal Guards were naturally under the Divine Martial Guards.

The Imperial Palace Guards were in charge of the Shu Lands, Chuanbei, Xiangnan, Jiangchuan, and Minnan. Each province would have one legion, and the headquarters would be in Quanzhou.

Apart from that, Yizhou Prefecture, which was an ocean away from Minnan Province, was listed under the Imperial Palace Guard warzone.

These five provinces formed a defensive line stretching east and west, providing safety around the imperial capital.

The City Protection legion corps was in charge of Beihai City, Mulan Stronghold, Yunnan, Chuannan, and Lingnan. Their headquarters was in Tianjing City.

These three provinces formed a middle defensive circle that protected the core region of the Jingji region.

The Emperor Squadron was in charge of defending the Gulf of Tonkin, the ocean gate of the imperial capital. The squadron’s headquarters was in Beihai City. On the other hand, the Nanjiang Navy was in charge of the entire Jiangnan ocean path; its headquarters was in Poyang Lake.

The Jingji warzone included all the direct legion corps of the Empire and both the navy and army. They defended the Jingji region and protected the authority of the emperor. It was the strongest and most reliable military power of the Empire and was their calming needle.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo personally took charge as the Jingji warzone commander. This warzone did not have a headquarters. Normally, the Privy Court would be in charge of daily administrative work.

…

The southeast warzone would be renamed the Zhongyuan warzone. This warzone would have the Leopard legion corps, the Xiangjiang formation, the Yingzhou formation, and the Binhai Squadron under it. They would be in charge of defending the entire mid plains, especially the eastern ocean region.

Sun Bin’s Tiger legion corps backed out of the southeast warzone; there would be other arrangements for them.

Specifically, the Leopard legion corps would be in charge of Beijiang, Jingdu, Ludong, Donghai, and Jiangnan. Each legion was housed in a province, and the headquarters would be in Jianye.

The Xiangjiang legion corps was renamed the Zhongyuan legion corps and was in charge of Guanxi, Hedong, Zhongyuan, Jingchu, and Wannan, their headquarters being set in Luoyang.

The Yingzhou formation would continue to defend the Yingzhou Province, defending the eastern gate of the Empire.

The Binhai Squadron was in charge of defending the Bohai Sea, Yellow River, East China Sea, and the ocean regions around Japan. It was the strongest ocean protection power of the Empire, and its headquarters would be moved from Binhai Bay to Jiaodong Bay.
