Chapter 190 Good News
The navy room was He Xi's suggestion. Many people thought it should be called the navy room.
However, no one said anything when He Xi suggested it.
The same thing about the navy house is more about shipbuilding. Anyway, the Lushun Shipyard is right below the navy house.
The health room is directly responsible for the health room below.
However, at the same time as the reform of the Forbidden Army, many guard offices were also being dismantled. The most abolished ones were the guard posts in Hebei, which either became the Forbidden Army or became the prefecture's people. The original land of the guard station was also allocated to the local government. Of course, the land itself was also given to the guards, which was considered a land grant.
Only when the land was granted, the reform of small farms was also carried out.
And even after these guards were released as civilians, their willingness to join the army was still very high.
It is considered a good source of troops.
The name Bingma Si Fang comes from the Wucheng Bingma Division, which is the security force of the capital. Although there are many things done by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, they are not up to standard. But in He Xi's opinion, this is the system most similar to the police system.
This name also represents He Xi's ambition.
Because this room manages the prosperity of the people everywhere.
Nowadays, these Minzhuang are the guard forces in various places, but they are all temporary. He Xi hopes that in the future, if there is no more war, many of these people will retire. But we should also stay and have the best strength to establish military divisions in various places. Or the police system.
Strengthen the power of local governments.
Recruitment and retirement room, the mission of this room is written in the name. He Xi has made a lot of preparations. The sources of troops for the Forbidden Army will not be selected only from the Guard Army. However, in recent years, the Guard Army has selected a larger number.
It will be hard to say from now on.
Not to mention, retirement.
Retirement placement is something that the Ming Dynasty has never done before, and He Xi also has ideas about the retirement age of the Ming Dynasty soldiers in the future. He Xi thinks thirty is a suitable age.
After all, the Ming Dynasty in peacetime did not need to maintain too many forbidden troops, one million, or between 1.2 million and 1.8 million.
After all, the late Qing Dynasty wanted to organize and train a new army in the thirty-six towns. Although the current military establishment is probably more than twice that of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, the 36th Army probably has more than 1.5 million people.
A country like the Ming Dynasty had too few troops and was in disgrace.
Recruitment and retirement are not only military issues, but also a method for the court to allocate manpower. It is relatively difficult for Chinese people to relocate and immigrate. And through conscription, then retirement and resettlement, it is a good way to allocate human resources.
Now this one thing is not important. But it is a top priority in the future.
The military technology room is where He Xi placed his hopes for future scientific and technological research.
Today, Ming Dynasty does not yet have a complete scientific research system.
All scientific research is supported by He Xi's deployment of manpower and material resources, review and approval.
This is not formal.
He Xi cannot guarantee that he will always be in office, so he needs institutional guarantees.
Now the military's desire for advanced weapons has been stimulated. Naturally, we have to find a way to maintain it. Of course, during the war, there was some retreat in this part. After all, the war is urgent now, and all resources have been invested in the battlefield.
However, it is hard to say for this department in the future.
In short, because of the victory on the front line, He Xi had no resistance at all in implementing reforms, even if many people opposed it. They also dare to get angry but dare not speak out. Perhaps, only after He Xi has a big defeat or a complete breakup between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying can he dare to stand against He Xi.
These people can be ignored for He Xi now.
Just when Nanjing was wasting time on personnel disputes.
He Xi used this period of time to carry out Beijing's military reforms, from the Central Committee to the Twelfth Army, and even to the garrison civilians and naval vassal forces and other armed forces. If you want to implement reforms, it will take a while
Time.
It will take about half a year to a year for complete reform.
In this case, Beijing's internal integration is ahead of Nanjing's, and it has even entered a new era with one foot.
However, this also brought huge problems to the Beijing court.
That's the financial issue.
The financial problem, which was already not optimistic, has become more serious and imminent.
However, before dealing with this big problem, He Xi received some good news from various places.
One of the good news.
Naturally, it was a great victory in Jingjiang.
Fang Chengfeng captured Jingjiang and established a firm foothold in Taiwan. It also opened up the waterway from Japan to Southeast Asia. Let Beijing's goods continue to enter Nanyang, the largest market. For He Xi, this was a great help to He Xi.
Not just militarily, but also economically.
He Xi was not prepared to let Fang Chengfeng harass Southeast.
The reason is simple: Beijing is not a Japanese pirate.
What Beijing wants is the world, not the wealth of Jiangnan.
If you just want Jiangnan's wealth, then you can naturally do whatever you want. But what Beijing wants is the world, even though the Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrat group is He Xi's biggest political opponent. But the problem is that there is more than just the Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrat group in Jiangnan.
Just like in Hebei, there are actually many people who originally supported Nanjing. Treat Nanjing as orthodox. Fu Youde went on a rampage in Hebei, and the people of Hebei immediately defected to Beijing.
The same goes for Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the world. Even though Liaodong and Beijing have made great progress under He Xi's management, to be honest, they are still not as good as Jiangnan's heritage, which is more about people.
Even though He Xi opened many schools and trained many talents. But it is still not as good as the scholarly land of Jiangnan. These scholars are not all scholar-bureaucrats. The reason why Su Yang is famous all over the world is that there are actually many down-and-out scholars involved in the production. Their cultural heritage and superb skills have resulted in many fine works of art. It is valued by later generations of collectors.
And these people can change from an artist to a scientist as long as they change their thinking slightly.
After all, a scholar plus craftsman skills can be equal to an artist or a scientist, depending on where he was trained.
This kind of profound heritage is definitely not comparable to that of Liaodong and Beijing, which were still cultural deserts a few years ago.
If he could capture the Jiangnan area, He Xi would not hesitate to use troops. But now Fang Chengfeng is beyond reach in Jingjiang. It's impossible to capture Jiangnan. It's just harassment or making some money.
So naturally the gain outweighs the loss.
However, there is one thing that can be done. That is large-scale smuggling.
In He Xi's view, smuggling itself is a kind of economic aggression.
After all, industrial products from Liaodong and Beijing were previously restricted from entering the interior of the Ming Dynasty for fear of causing chain reactions, large-scale civil unrest, etc. Zhu Yuanzhang was troubled by these things.
But things are different now.
If something really happens, it's Zhu Yunwen's business, what does it have to do with Beijing? It can even echo Beijing's offensive.
It couldn't be better.
This is good news for He Xi.
Another piece of news, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.
Naturally, Xu Da served as the general and led the army in the Northern Expedition.
This incident shocked He Xi very much.
A person's life, the shadow of a tree, Xu Da is an extraordinary person. How can it not shock people, let alone countless people in the world who have followed Xu Da. This influence reaches deep into every corner of the world.
There is no second thought in the world.
Even Zhu Xiongying was shocked.
Although He Xi was confident that Xu Da might not be more powerful than Ye Chen before the new era of firearms warfare, it was useless for He Xi to think so. What he needs to reassure is public confidence.
It also includes Zhu Xiongying’s confidence.
after all,
The name Xu Da also shocked Zhu Xiongying quite a lot.
Even He Xi felt a little uneasy deep in her heart. But then, he suppressed this uneasiness.
After all, in He Xi's view, he had advanced tactics, abundant firepower, high-quality generals, high pay and adequate training for his soldiers. It has great advantages in terms of equipment. So what if Xu Da?
At worst, they will switch from offense to defense and use their firepower advantage to fight against Xu Da. He Xi didn't believe it anymore, could Xu Da change the current contrast in firepower?
