sweeping the world

Chapter 1014 Attacking Han Worldwide ([-])
As for the global attack on Han, it seems that the matter is very big, but in fact it is really a big event, but there will still be an order in which things will happen.

Countries first instigated slave rebellions in order to plunge the Han Empire into internal turmoil.

Subsequently, the overseas territories of the Han Empire were attacked one after another. Some were attacked to obtain gunpowder, and more were carried out when the garrison was not overly prepared.

If you want to break out a national war with a country, the priority choice is naturally to provoke internal strife in that country. Even if it cannot produce subversion, it will inevitably make it difficult for that country to focus on the outside world for a while.

Before the internal turmoil has been dealt with, it is even more difficult for the country to concentrate all its power on the outside.

Perhaps during the period of dealing with internal turmoil, the country will trigger greater internal crises, which means that external forces are trying to gain the greatest benefits at the smallest cost.

It has been more than two months since the slave riots first occurred in Wuyang County, and the slave riots one after another have indeed caused considerable losses to the Han Empire.

Slaves themselves were the property of the Han Empire. Every time a slave died, part of the property was lost. Slave riots also caused damage to the local area, and then the ongoing projects were forced to stop.

"In two months, the statistical loss is that more than 30 slaves were lost, and the property loss caused was not less than [-] million yuan." Ji Chang looked rather haggard: "The main reason is that the place where the slave riots were not the construction site It is the workshops and factories that have such high property losses."

It's all riots, and it's impossible for slaves not to destroy. They almost destroy whatever they catch, and they don't have any scruples if they can set fire.

The efficiency of garrison troops in various places to suppress is actually not slow. Even if it is the slowest, they will arrive on the same day. Even if the army arrives, it does not mean that the destruction of slaves has stopped, and subsequent battles will cause more damage.

Forty million coins are 40 gold coins.

In the Han Empire, one thousand five-baht coins were exchanged for one silver coin, and ten silver coins were exchanged for one gold coin.

It seems that the loss of five baht is quite a lot. It is not so painful at first glance when it is replaced by gold coins.

Liu Yan didn't care about the loss of property. The total annual taxes of the Han Empire exceeded 300 million gold coins at the lowest point, and even reached 700 million gold coins at the highest point.

Because of the good taxation, business tax contributions accounted for about 40.00%, and honorary contributions accounted for about 15.00%. Except for the [-]% agricultural tax, the rest was some miscellaneous taxes.

Liu Yan did some calculations in private and found that only the Shaofu's business activities accounted for 40.00% of the total tax amount of [-]%.

Taxes in the Han Empire were not one-size-fits-all. There were high taxes on luxury goods, that is, luxury taxes.

For example, in the case of emerald transactions, the amount of tax that needs to be paid for each transaction is four hundred times that of the agricultural tax.

With so many taxes paid, the profits that can be generated must be more than the taxes paid. The Han Empire can receive millions of gold coins in taxes every year, so the amount of commercial achievement must exceed tens of millions of gold coins. Do you know if it has broken through [-] million.

Regarding property damage, Liu Yan is concerned about how long it will take to recover after it is destroyed.He suffered more official losses than civilian losses, but he actually had a happy attitude.

If the government loses, it loses, and if an individual loses, it may cut off the livelihood of a certain family, or even affect dozens or hundreds or more families.

After the loss, it must be rebuilt, and the official reconstruction will definitely stimulate the increase of domestic demand.Under the premise that there is no need to build more official facilities, being destroyed and rebuilt is actually good news for the people.

"What is the attitude of the people towards what happened?" Liu Yan paid great attention to this: "Is there any public opinion survey?"

How could Ji Chang ignore this aspect, and replied: "The survey of the people in Guanzhong did not cause a large-scale panic, and he was indignant about what happened."

It has been nearly ten years since the Han people turned their backs and became the masters. As the masters of the family, almost all of them have experienced the years of the Hulu ravages.For them, the turmoil that occurred this year is actually a trivial matter, and there is really no psychological panic.

"Your Majesty." Ji Chang felt the need to tell good news: "Slave riots in various places. Before the garrison arrived, the people in many places spontaneously participated in the suppression. In some places, the rioting slaves had already been suppressed before the army arrived."

The Han Empire has been implementing "two seasons of military training". Every year in summer and winter, young men and women will be summoned from various places for military training.

In the Han Empire, it was extremely normal for people to hold weapons.

Some foreigners who came to the Han Empire once suspected that what they came to was a large barracks. They wondered why the Han people had at least one dagger on their bodies, and it was even more normal to hang a sword or knife around their waists.

The Han Empire prohibited the types of weapons held by the people, mainly strong bows and crossbows. On the contrary, the people were encouraged to purchase melee weapons.The prohibition on armor should be stricter. It is fine for a commoner to have a pair of armor, but it is a crime to own several pairs of armor.

In fact, that's what it is. There are "two quarters of military training" every year, and then it is forbidden for people to hold weapons. Isn't it contradictory?
"People..." Liu Yan didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and asked, "Are there many casualties?"

During the two-month slave riot, the army suffered less than a thousand casualties, and most of them were not seriously injured.

The common people who spontaneously participated in the suppression had weapons, but not everyone had armor. Even if they had armor, they were not as good as the military. The casualties were more serious than the army. According to statistics, 17 people died in the battle, which was light. More than [-] people were seriously injured.

"Those who died in the war will be treated as those who died in the national war." Liu Yan was naturally pleased with the bloodiness of the people: "Everyone in the Han Dynasty dares to fight, so it's nothing to attack the Han from all over the world."

Ji Chang, on the other hand, does not encourage civilians to join the war privately. He believes that it is the duty of the army to go to the battlefield. If the civilians are conscripted, it is of course nothing. The responsibility of the non-conscripted civilians is to carry out production in the rear.

There are two sides to everything. It is naturally a good thing for people to join the war voluntarily, but if they had better organizations, some casualties could actually be avoided.

"Your Majesty." Ji Chang frowned slightly and said, "Shang Shuling proposed that the entire Han Dynasty enter a state of war, but I think it is too early."

The so-called state of war in the whole country does not mean that everyone sets foot on the battlefield to fight. It means that a large number of soldiers are recruited. At the same time, the production system begins to focus on the production of military supplies.

Ji Chang, who has been the prime minister for several years, is very clear that if the whole country really enters a state of war, then what he did in the past two years will be useless, and at the same time, the economic planning of the country will inevitably become deformed.

The current Han Empire relies on machinery for some production, but most of the production still relies on hands. If mobilization really begins, the number of troops will surge, which means that the number of young people among the people will decrease.

As long as it is a normal country, no country will easily switch from the normal system to the wartime system if it is not a moment of last resort.

"Currently, troops from all over the northwest have moved towards the Western Region. The same is true for the garrison in Guanzhong." Ji Chang is the Secretary of the Central Committee, and should not interfere in military affairs, but the country's transition to a war system is really a big deal: "The Anxi Protectorate There will be five standing armies within a month at the latest, and the local area can recruit [-] auxiliary soldiers, so there must be no worries."

The Anxi Protectorate Mansion originally had only one standing army, but it had the right to recruit local Han people as auxiliary soldiers.

The last time Li Kuang presided over the war with Hunnit, only two regular divisions were dispatched, and only 25 people were recruited, and they were matched with about [-] servants from the Western Regions.

In Ji Chang's view, in the face of a global attack on Han, the Han Empire should adopt a defensive stance, to see which countries took action, and then go to win over those countries that did not.

In this way, what the Han Empire needs to pay special attention to is the northwest and other overseas territories, and the rest is to focus on the country.

The Han Empire usually maintains fifteen standing armies, and last year a new firearms division was established.

The current Yulin Army and the other two standing armies have entered a state of change, but aren't there still thirteen standing armies that can be used?In particular, the firearms master is located at the Junjishan School Command headquarters not far behind the Anxi Protectorate.

"Li Kuanghui has four standing armies under its jurisdiction." Liu Yan didn't count the auxiliary soldiers recruited temporarily: "Including the firearms division drawn from the Junjishan school lieutenant's department."

The establishment of the firearms division has undergone reforms. There is no longer a corporal leader, but the establishment above "shi" has been retained. At the same time, new changes have taken place in the staff establishment. The five-five system is used. A small team is a squadron, five squadrons are a group, five groups are a regiment, and five regiments are a division.

A firearms division has nearly 5000 personnel, which is equivalent to more personnel than two standing armies.

In the future, once the standing army is reorganized into a firearms division, it will basically be divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.

The Class A division has a strength of 5000 men, with four standard rifle regiments, one standard artillery regiment and two baggage brigades.

After the division level, there are still the designations of army, corps, and group army. Three divisions are an army, three armies are a corps, and a group army is equivalent to a front army.

"Twenty years before Yuanshuo, the big man must have more than six firearms masters!" Liu Yan knew what Ji Chang was worried about, and said with a smile: "Tai'an, it's not that I want to use military force now, it's those countries that want to make trouble with the big man!" .”

"I dare not." Ji Changcai did not dare to say that Liu Yan was militaristic, and if Liu Yan insisted that the whole country enter the wartime system, he would not dare to stop him, but he still wanted to do his duty as a courtier and express his worries: "Your Majesty, Dahan now has nearly 300 million children and nearly 600 million teenagers."

The so-called children are under 12 years old, and teenagers are 12 years old and up.

There are such an exaggerated number of children and teenagers because of national policy.

The Han Empire has always encouraged multiple births, and allocated an exaggerated amount of finances for this purpose. There are subsidies for two or more children, and rewards for three or more. title, the mother will receive the title of "Great Mother".

It is actually not so normal for a country to enter an absolute "younger age". Before that, it was possible to start large-scale projects continuously because of the huge number of slaves.

Nowadays, slaves in various places are constantly rioting, and even in places where there are no riots, the construction work has been stopped one after another.

Now that slave riots have continued to occur, the monitoring and control of slaves must be infinitely improved. In the past, a hundred people could guard 1 slaves, but now 1000 people are needed to manage [-] slaves.

It is conceivable that as long as the slave rebellion has not been completely quelled, or even after it is completely quelled, slaves in various places will be used with absolute caution, and the manpower and finances used in this area will inevitably need to be increased.

The slaves had rioted, but the established castration policy had not stopped. According to Liu Yan, since some things had already happened, they should simply implement what should be done.

If that was the case, the slave riots probably would not stop for a day.

After all, as a man, who is not afraid of having his bird cut off?

In the past, if you resigned to your fate or were afraid of death, who would not resist when you knew you were going to be cut into a bird?

For quite a long period of time, a large number of projects will be suspended, and chaos will continue. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the Han Empire.

In this current situation, when it is transferred to the wartime system, stagnation of people's livelihood is inevitable, and even a certain degree of regression will occur, which will only lead to unhealthy expansion of various items related to the military industry.

"I understand." Liu Yan thought that was not necessarily a bad thing: "I know exactly what I am doing."

The current military industry is actually closely linked to people's livelihood, but it is not as clear-cut as it is in modern times.

Even though the Han Empire was about to enter the age of firearms, cold weapons still dominated the army, which was nothing more than consuming a large amount of pig iron and steel.

As far as the current society is concerned, the lack of pig iron and steel will not cause fatal effects at all.

Once it is a large-scale military expansion, the first benefit will be related to clothing.And this is definitely something that ordinary people can benefit from.

"Tai'an." Liu Yan comforted: "What you need to pay attention to right now is the discipline of children and teenagers in various places. As long as this aspect is done well, the big man will not be messed up."

The first nursery school was established in the seventh year of Yuanshuo.

The establishment of the first primary school was in the 11th year of Yuanshuo.

Today's Han Empire has a total of 720 elementary schools, 74 middle schools, and [-] high schools, but there is only one university in Chang'an.

This quantity is of course not enough and needs to be increased again and again.

"I will not immediately transfer the country to the wartime system." Liu Yan wanted to give Ji Chang a reassurance: "The big man was forced to be involved in the war this time, and he must fight back with the strongest force, but they are not qualified to let him go." Dahan has fully transferred to the wartime system."

Ji Chang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.He just said that the one that will really break out in the Great War is the side of the Western Regions. At most, there will be one more Tianzhu Protectorate, so there is no need for the whole country to immediately enter the wartime system.
