Chapter 932 – Disarmament
8th month, 20th day, Shanhai City, Xia Palace.
Military Affairs Minister Du Ruhui represented the Privy Court to report to Ouyang Shuo regarding the disarmament of Prefecture Grade Garrison Divisions (draft).
This round of military disarmament was in relation to the 16 prefectures of the four provinces. The Zhili Prefecture had long before been disarmed, and the other prefectures were all islands and were not included in the plan.
The 16 prefectures had a total of 16 full Garrison Divisions, which amounted to a total of 216 thousand people, which was equal to three legions. At the same time, there were three full legion corps housed in the four prefectures for a total number of 1.05 million people.
Such a huge military scale was not only unneeded, but it was also a huge pressure on the territory finances.
After Ouyang Shuo personally suggested it, the Privy Court came up with a disarmament plan.
