Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 337
With a very joyous atmosphere, the Ming Dynasty National Strategy and Security Conference decided on this strategy of "driving tigers and wolfs away".Bai Mingxiu still needs the relevant departments to make more detailed planning and design. If the plan is not done well, Bai Mingxiu will not forcefully push forward this risky plan, but will find a way to eliminate Fei Yanggu.

There is another important plan before Bai Mingxiu, that is the reorganization plan of the Ming Army.The Ming army is not just as simple as changing its name. Only by reorganizing and rebuilding in all directions can Bai Mingxiu make better use of his powerful military power.

The troops in Bai Mingxiu's hands are obviously too much, especially after going through an ultimate dungeon, he has a lot of system mercenaries in his hands.Today, apart from Su Shuhuan leading the Northwest Corps to fight, the mainland of Ming Dynasty has basically restored peace, and the people have begun to resume normal life and production.

Relatively speaking, although Da Ming has a huge country, its foreign defense posture in this era is still good. Bai Mingxiu does not have an obvious enemy, so he actually does not need to keep a huge army, but his mercenaries are all The three-year service period is useless and useless.

The reorganization and reconstruction plan brought by Zhao Xu was made based on the ideas and key points provided by Bai Mingxiu. Zhao Xu said: "...Basically, the Army will make relatively large-scale changes. We have set up the North China Military Region in the defense zone. , South China Military Region, East China Military Region, Central Plains Military Region, Southwest Military Region, and Northwest Military Region, a total of six core military regions. A total of 36 Army Infantry Divisions, eight Army Cavalry Divisions, plus two independent units, the Guards Independent Brigade and the Special Independent Brigade. Each military region is allocated almost five to six infantry divisions, among which there are more cavalry divisions in the North China Military Region and the Northwest Military Region, and one cavalry division in the Central Plains Military Region. The total number of troops in the Army is more than 52. In terms of the Navy, There are currently 91 main battleships, 10 fleets, and 33560 officers and soldiers; the Marine Corps has 3 brigades, with a total of 1.6 personnel, and the Navy has a total of more than 7 personnel. In addition to our The personnel of some support units, the official Ming army has a total staff of about 60."

Bai Mingxiu nodded. An army of 60 is actually not a lot. The standing army of the Ming Dynasty was above this number almost all the year round, and the Guangluying Camp of the Qing Dynasty basically had this number.What's really different is that the Ming army is all combatable soldiers, and it is the most powerful military force on this planet.

The army is the one that has cut the most in this reorganization and reconstruction. Bai Mingxiu has directly cut down the strength of nearly 20 divisions. Most of them are mercenaries from the system. There are also a few veterans who chose to be demobilized after the war and became ordinary civilians. .The mercenary Bai Mingxiu who was cut off was not demobilized to go to production and life, but was incorporated into a new unit - the Daming Garrison Corps.

Speaking of it, the overall military system of the Ming Dynasty is a bit complicated. As the official national army, the Ming Army is the main combat force; in addition, the domestic guards are in charge of internal defense work and other tasks that require organization. The Departments of Propaganda and Consolation will also set up a vassal army composed of local people, responsible for guarding and partially suppressing foreign aggression and internal turmoil; finally, there is the Garrison Army that was recently allocated from the Ming Army.

The Garrison Corps is also Bai Mingxiu's creation, in fact, it is a copy of the PLA Production and Construction Corps in his history before traveling.

Whether it is the Ming Army, the Garrison, the Fan Army, or the Garrison Army, they are all military organizations. The officers and soldiers are all active soldiers, and they are also uniformly under the management of the Ministry of War of the Daming Lizhengyuan, and the budget is allocated from the Ministry of War. His Majesty the Emperor is their supreme commander. .

The reason why Bai Mingxiu created a garrison army was to develop new colonies.Therefore, the garrison corps is not only a military organization, but also a production organization. However, all members of the corps are considered active soldiers and must be disciplined, organized, obey orders, and have a higher sense of honor and disgrace.

Zhao Xu also asked at this time: "Your Majesty, have you considered where to send the Garrison Army now?"

Bai Mingxiu nodded and said: "I've thought about it, there's no other way, the colonies with better conditions, the people will go by themselves, and various companies related to the colonial business will also bring the population through recruiting or long-term employment. In terms of work, the Marine Corps will be the main force, and it will be supplemented by the newly formed Fan Army. The Garrison Army must have a certain scale if it wants to exert its own strength. Without 5 to [-] people, it will not be able to show it of."

Bai Mingxiu continued: "My preliminary consideration is that a certain amount of settlement and development is needed outside the customs. After all, it is a treasure land. After the withdrawal of the Qing Dynasty, there is now a big vacuum. Only when we occupy it, there will be no new ethnic changes. It is a situation like foreign enemies. Since ancient times, we Han people have paid too much attention to our own three-acre land. In addition to the Northeast, the Western Regions are also in the same direction. We must gradually integrate the Western Regions with our inland. Security and development are more important. Well, there is also Monan. Now Fei Yanggu has run away with the Mongols, leaving an almost vacuum of Monan. Just in time, let’s turn this place into the living place of Han people. We operate animal husbandry in Monan. We don’t need nomadism. Scientific breeding and collective pastures are very good. There are also a lot of local resources that can be developed. I intend to build a railway to Monan and connect it to Monan in the future. north."

Zhao Xu asked, "Does Your Majesty not consider sending the Garrison Corps overseas? Such as Southeast Asia, America and the like."

Bai Mingxiu said: "You can't become a big fat man with one mouthful, so take it slowly step by step."

Now that he has accepted the task of the system, he will get involved in these places in America sooner or later.In particular, the Americas are only the beginning of European power colonization. The Spanish are relatively powerful, but they are concentrated in Latin America. The British and French are still concentrated on the northeast coast of North America. The vast central and west coast of North America are still in their original state. Where residents live.

However, Bai Mingxiu thinks that colonizing a place like the Americas really doesn't need a large garrison army with strong military capabilities. Ordinary and brave armed civilians can control a large area of ​​land well.The plan to colonize the Americas is still in its infancy, mainly due to the joint development of Oceanic Corporation and the Navy.Therefore, in a short period of time, the Garrison Corps will still mainly develop some areas adjacent to the mainland to further expand the scope of the mainland.
