Lord of Ming Dynasty

It can't be said how advanced or advanced it is, but it is absolutely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, it is mainly because the Huaxia Army has added other industry exams on the basis of the imperial examinations, 360 lines, and there are exams for all walks of life. Low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate. With these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the research results to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng. In the village, you can also get the reception of the village head, the head of the security, or the head of the township, and let everyone look at you highly. In these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a good income and a basic monthly salary.

People in the village read a letter, recognize a character, or build something, find an authority to authenticate it, and they will come to you, or the price of what you come up with is higher than the price of other people who have not been authenticated. I have to find you when dealing with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

Low-level certification does not require you to be literate or have read books, as long as you can get something in the industry and get government approval.

And can get the qualification to go to adult night school for free. If you graduate from the night school, that is to say, you know ten Arabic numerals and more than one hundred characters, you can take the qualification certification level two examination.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries. Task.

Of course, these people do not need to receive wages. They will be paid when they are requisitioned.

When you want to go one step further, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification. These people must be able to speak well and be able to count and write. These people are generally veterans or businessmen's buddies, old officials in the government, or have been famous for a long time Some of them are directly recruited by the government and given to a clerk. These clerks spend more than half of their time working in the government, and they are called the low-level clerks of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements. The civil servants above have to rely on them if they want to be promoted to higher-level section officials.

The fourth level is usually those who have read books and have profound attainments in the industry. They also have the heart of being an official. Members can be promoted to official positions, and can be promoted to positions such as clerks, document offices, book books, etc., which are equivalent to the assistants of township heads and town heads.

These people who can read books and study skills in various industries will eventually become deputy township heads, deputy mayors, or research officials. More senior officials can take the imperial examination and then enter a higher research institution.

This is Zhang Qiang cultivating talents for the few smart scientists in his hands.

We can’t always let Sebastian and Francois do research, they need helpers, and it’s too slow to rely on them to train some apprentices, which is not good for the technological development of the Huaxia Army, so Zhang Qiang has to find those folk talents from Huaxia Come out and send them to their research institute, let them learn while helping and inspiring the two of them, so as to speed up their development.

The new carriage was made under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.

At the same time, under the advice and promotion of a businessman or a treasurer-born researcher, he quickly entered the army and civilians of the Huaxia Army, and gained commercial and national interests.

Let the society promote its own development. Zhang Qiang is only a bystander and a guide. Otherwise, with his knowledge structure, insight, and historical knowledge, he will not be able to reach the level of other traversers in 100 years. years of development.

Chapter 659 The Days of Becoming a King

With the adjustment of the army in place, the Huaxia Army has shown a new look on the whole, showing a vigorous development and thriving situation. At the same time, Zhang Qiang was officially enthroned as the king of Huaxia Kingdom in Jinling Fucheng.

After ascending the throne as king, Queen Zhu Panpan, Princess Kong Sizhen, and Li Zicheng's wife Gao Shi were also conferred the title of princess. Zhang Qiang, the governor in [-], would fall in love with other people's wives, and he would fall in love with Gao Shi, who was much older than him, which caused a lot of gossip for a while.

But this is not the main point. Many people’s rumors were severely suppressed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs as soon as they were uttered. Many officials were severely punished and resigned because they privately criticized the princess. Mr. Black Bread, after so many years of development and reform, as well as multiple trainings, the officials of the Ministry of Supervision have enforced the law like a furnace in the officialdom, with a stern and selfless face, and established their own image. The boss is thunderous and dares to do many things that he dare not do, but he is afraid of seeing the officials of the Ministry of Supervision. When he sees them, he trembles like a mouse seeing a cat. Became like an elementary school student who made a mistake in front of the teacher.

Zhang Qiang adopted Li Zicheng's son as an adopted son and made him the county king, which completely solved Gao's worries. Later, Gao gave birth to a prince for Zhang Qiang, and Kong Sizhen gave birth to two little princesses for Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang gave birth to a prince and a princess. At this time, Zhang Qiang can be said to be proud of the spring breeze and have no regrets in life.

The ministers in the court are also very happy. His Majesty the King has so many children, and they don't have to worry about the future of Huaxia Kingdom. For a time, Huaxia Kingdom is happy and energetic from top to bottom, which makes the people of Huaxia Kingdom also feel the rule of Huaxia Kingdom. Happy, everyone returned to their hearts, the righteousness of the rule went from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and finally recognized the Huaxia Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Qiang held a meeting with the cabinet for a few days. Now the cabinet meetings are held in the imperial palace. The imperial palace of Jinling Mansion is the imperial palace of previous dynasties. And the transformation of the original gloomy palace is now resplendent, brightly lit at night, full of popularity.

Now the cabinet discusses matters in Huagai Palace, Fengtian Palace during the last dynasty, Zhang Qiang himself works in Jinshen Palace, lives in Qianqing Palace, the queen lives in Kunning Palace, two princesses and princes, and princesses live in the sixth palace behind, leaving behind Some old eunuchs in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty and some newly recruited eunuchs served, but whether it was maids, eunuchs, or guards, the scale of civil servants in the palace was not large, with a total of more than 300 people.

There are only 180 guards here, which are all the soldiers and horses of the personal guards. The personal guards are in the barracks outside the palace, close to the palace, and can be transferred to the palace at any time. There are 68 eunuchs and [-] palace ladies, which greatly reduces In order to cover the expenses of the royal family, during the day, the Guards will send a battalion of soldiers to patrol the palace. At night, the palace gates will be closed, and a battalion of soldiers will take turns guarding the city walls. The Guards will be responsible for patrolling and guarding the palace.

There are guards stationed on all sides of the palace, and next to them are guards directly under the headquarters of the garrison headquarters. They are jointly responsible for the patrol and guard work outside the palace, mainly the guards.

At the same time, there are unseen security camps for intelligence personnel from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Military Intelligence stationed on the periphery. There are not many people, but their eyes are like cameras, observing the nearby pedestrians and peeking at the palace through the streets around the palace all the time. Soldier, once you find out that the person has a little bit of interest in the palace, immediately dispatch people to secretly arrest and interrogate. If it's just an unintentional move, you can usually be released within a week. If it's an enemy spy or killer, needless to say Cleared by interrogation, they will either be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to wait for disposal, or they will be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Military Affairs, or they will be imprisoned in the emperor's prison of the pro-guard regiment. After three months, the lightest punishment for these people is to be thrown into a hard labor camp. The heaviest punishment is to be executed in a secret place, and the body is thrown into a mass grave outside the city.

Such a situation made the mystery and coercion of the imperial palace once again displayed in the capital. No one would approach the walls of the imperial palace if they had nothing to do, it would be courting death.The nearby streets outside the outer city wall of the imperial palace are managed by the Jingshi garrison headquarters, where the yamen of the troops directly under the Jingshi garrison headquarters are stationed, and there are sixteen garrison companies assigned to guard the palace within one mile.

The streets within the capital are in charge of the garrison regiments under the garrison brigade. Each garrison regiment has 2000 people and is responsible for the defense and patrol tasks of a five-mile area.

Some garrison regiments have three battalions, each with 600 people, each battalion is responsible for one direction, southeast, northwest, and the garrison regiment headquarters is responsible for one direction.

There are four battalions, each with 600 people, and the garrison regiment headquarters has 500 people. The garrison regiment is in the middle, and the four battalions are in four directions.

The capital has a total of two garrison brigades and six garrison regiments, with a total strength of [-] troops.

As for the general law and order on the streets, arresting bandits, and handling cases, those belonging to the local government yamen are responsible, and the yamen of the prefect of the capital is in charge.

The Guards Division is stationed in the barracks outside the city, responsible for field battles or attacking the enemy in the capital, and is transferred to the capital to protect the capital in case of emergency.

However, this is only the first division of the guards. The second division of the guards is not currently reorganized. It is still the third brigade of the guards and the fourth brigade of the guards. One brigade is stationed in Yangzhou Prefecture, and the other brigade is stationed in Xianju County. Surround the capital.

On the surface of the water, the Yangtze River Defense Navy is still in charge, and at the mouth of the sea is still the East China Sea Navy. The First Fleet of the First Navy of China is on guard, and the Second Fleet is transferred back to the headquarters of the Navy in Hangzhou to guard the sea defense line there.

This kind of defense seems to be that the troops near the capital are very weak. In fact, if you look at the Jinhua center, there are still some cabinet officials left behind, a garrison brigade, and [-] recruits from the recruit training camp. Thousands of low-level officers, [-] middle-level officers, and [-] reserve officers at the rank of lieutenant generals in the general training class know that the Huaxia Army still has a lot of troops.

In addition, the headquarters of the punishment battalion was moved from Jinhua Central to a corner of Jinling Fucheng. There were 20 soldiers and [-] officials in the headquarters. Officers and soldiers, they manage nearly [-] soldiers who were punished for not serious crimes, and [-] captives. Once these troops are mobilized, there will be [-] troops near the capital in an instant. They have rich combat experience and are all elites. Soldiers at the top level, and low-level officers at the elite level.

With so many troops, Zhang Qiang is of course enjoying his life as a king without any worries. He takes a walk every day, chats with his wife and children, goes shopping, handles official duties after returning, and then sleeps beautifully, as if there is nothing in this life. It seems to have pursued it.

Wei Wuji and the General Staff Headquarters are in charge of the war, Zhou Porridge and Jin Sheng are in charge of Civil Affairs, and You Haibo is in charge of his own wealth. Zhu Dayou is in charge of sorting out his own wealth. The departments do their own thing. If there is something wrong, the ministers of each department will call it, and then everyone will sit down and talk about it, and the matter will be resolved. At most, he will take a look at what happened recently and what he has to deal with recently, and then call Wei Wuji, Mi Lin, Huang Tao, Zhou Porridge, Jin Sheng, and You Haibo can discuss with each other, and they can come up with various ways to solve those problems.

Chapter 6 Sixty Concerns in Southeast Asia

The days passed like running water, and King Zhang Qiang's road was very steady, and he lived very comfortably. Although facing the fierce Qing and Dajin countries that were fighting, as well as Wu Sangui's Qing army lingering in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Gansu, the Qing army did not initiate. The big battle, the conquest campaign in Sishan Prefecture, due to the influence of the reorganization and dismantling of troops, the Fengwuyu Corps did not continue to march into Sishan Prefecture.

Let the Shang Kexi Qing Army and Yongli Daming Ming Army He Tengjiao who are entrenched in Sishan Prefecture, as well as the Dashun Army's Kuidong Thirteen Family, the Dashun West Route Army after Li Zicheng, and the chieftains of Sishan Prefecture, The army of the Yeerqiang Han army, the remnants of the Ming army, and the remnants of the Qing army, these eight or nine parties fought and killed each other in Sishan Prefecture, stirring up the whole Sishan Prefecture into a miasma.

The secret agents of the Ministry of Military Intelligence who came back from Sishan Prefecture reported several times that the entire Sishan Prefecture had no civilians except for a few households in the depths of the mountains. The people, only the soldiers of the armies of the various parties, the families of the soldiers, and the soldiers and horses of the various parties,

Not to mention that there are no people for thousands of miles, but you will not see a single person within a hundred miles. That is absolute. If you go to Sishan Prefecture, there may be a large number of people, and you will be in danger of starving to death. If there are a few people, it is okay. The food they carry with them will be sent to the barracks and camps of the next party that has a population, but it may also be intercepted and killed by the other party's road, or the army of the other party. Sishan Prefecture is simply a hell on earth in the words of these spies.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Qiang, Wei Wuji, and Zhou Porridge stopped Feng Wuyu's troops in time, and asked them to only advance for a dozen miles or ten miles on the periphery, and not to go deep in, because now the largest place for the Huaxia Army to use troops is A small country in Southeast Asia does not need a huge amount of troops and material guarantees. Not only must it ensure the food, drink, weapons, and ammunition supplies of tens of thousands of combat troops, but it must also ensure the material supplies of nearly 10 million immigrants.

Although the small country in Southeast Asia has a large territory, there are many mountains and forests, and the climate is harsh. Outsiders may not be able to adapt to the climate in the past. Although the troops fought fast, urgently, and steadily, the consumption of materials and the construction of settlements were very slow. It will be resolved in a while.

It has been fighting for four years, and the enemy has almost been wiped out, but the tens of millions of people there is a big problem, and those are all foreign races.

The Huaxia Army selected nearly 300 million children under the age of 13 and sent them to the Huaxia Kingdom for training. They were followed by nearly 100 million women, hundreds of thousands of young adults, and hundreds of thousands of elderly people. Cultural education and assimilation, but this is still a drop in the bucket for tens of millions of people of different races.

There are constantly officials and entourages with excellent Han culture, as well as people from the north entering these countries, plus the 800 million people who immigrated in the early stage. Take the initiative and surpass the alien population.

Originally, the ratio was exceeded, but the army has been fighting farther and farther, and has occupied the entire territory of Myanmar, the entire territory of Laos, and most of Annan's land, pushing it to the border of Cambodia and Thailand, but there are more Buddhists in these two countries. Thinking more seriously, Zhang Qiang thought about it, but he couldn't take it all at once, so he stopped the troops from advancing, and continued to fight Annan, striving to occupy them all.

After that, Li Chengdong died in a foreign land, his son joined the army, and Li Dingguo entered Myanmar to control the overall situation there.

Ma Sanli and his troops are still attacking those Annan aliens who fled to the border between Annan in Southeast Asia and Cambodia. The leaders of these aliens are Han refugees from a hundred years ago, but these people are the backbone of the opposition to the Huaxia Army. resolute person.

This war lasted for four years, resulting in the direct death of 300 million people of foreign races, 600 million people fled to other countries, nearly 800 million people became prisoners, about 200 million people hid in deep mountains and old forests, and nearly 700 million people were ordinary people. Become a foreign common people under the rule of the Huaxia Army.

Over time, more than 700 million of these 100 million people fled, mostly in the coastal areas, and fled to the farther Nanyang region ruled by Zheng Chenggong, the places ruled by the Dutch, and other Southeast Asian countries.

The Huaxia Army has increased the speed of immigration and compressed their living space again. In the first six months of this year, 500 million people have immigrated. These 500 million immigrants are all former Lu people. These Qing people are not Qing people. Again, it didn't take many years, and the people who were basically Ming people increased the proportion of Han people after they arrived there.

However, these people’s thinking is unstable, and many people still have the idea of ​​Ming Dynasty in their minds, and a considerable part of them are influenced by the Qing Dynasty. In their minds, they are all masters of the Qing Dynasty. It is iron and blood, reality, and the Chinese army and people who are heroes of success or failure are incompatible with them.
