Lord of Ming Dynasty

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.

You Haibo’s Department of Officials, Zhang Huangyan’s Department of Household Affairs, Li Guangdi’s Department of Education and Administration, Xiao Dazhuang’s Department of Punishment, Qian Bingdeng’s Ministry of Rites, Zhang Mingzhen’s Ministry of Agriculture, Zhu Panpan’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li Guo’s Ministry of War, Wan Siyuan’s Ministry of Industry, Zhang Liang’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of People’s Affairs Huang Tao, Wei Wuji of the Ministry of National Defense, Du Ge of the Supervision Department, and Milin of the Military Intelligence Department, all the departments are fully equipped.

Another: Director of Recruit Training, Tian Xian, Vice Minister of Military Intelligence Tian Bin

Members from all parties, Zhang Mingzhen from Zhejiang Province, Li Guangxiong from Fujian Province, Jinsheng from Guangxi Prefecture, Mi Chun from Jiangxi Prefecture, Tang Dianfeng from Huguangzhou Province, Gu Yuesheng from Hubei Province, Fang Yizhi from Henan Province, Qian Bingdeng from Yunnan and Guizhou Prefecture, Lin Chengcheng from Anhui Prefecture , Liu Liangzuo, Yunnan Prefecture, and Zhu Dayou, Governor of Baodao.

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 1 Building the Chinese Empire [-]

Siberia has just been acquired and has not yet been fully controlled. In order to gather consumption, the Chinese Empire only sent a small number of troops and people to occupy that place first. There are no more than two hundred people within, and only in some defensive nodes and cities and castles built by the Qing Dynasty and the Russians have thousands or three or four thousand people or garrisons.

These people are increasing at a population of 100 million per year, and now there is no need for more construction, only need to accept the castles and cities originally built by the Qing Dynasty and the Russians, and settlements are enough.

It is estimated that the Qianghe cabinet will take five years, or even about eight years, to take over all the cities, castles, fortresses, camps, and settlements built by the Qing and Russians on the land that is useful for the planning of the Huaxia Kingdom. The population is estimated to be 2000 million people. The food and materials needed for the population for so many years need to be supplied by China. After five years, the food and materials in each settlement will be self-sufficient, and there will be some logs, furs, medicinal materials, and various minerals. Suppliers trade with people.

The Qing Dynasty moved more than 100 miles into the Ural Mountains in the second year, abandoned some castles, cities, and settlements at the foot of the mountain, and was immediately occupied by the newly sent garrison brigade, and transported materials to build some nodes. , used to communicate with the Qing Dynasty and do business.

After the supplies were delivered in the second year, another group of civilians were left behind and became residents there, and some Mongolian naturalized people were relocated here to help them investigate the movements of the Qing army or defend against the attacks of those fleeing soldiers and bandits.

And a part of the soldiers of the garrison brigade were disbanded on the spot, and then joined the local people. For Siberia, for the huge territory, in the following ten years, the Huaxia Army frantically built a garrison, as many as five or six hundred The garrison brigade has 8000 people in the large one, 3000 in the small one, and only about 500 in the smaller one.

What will be disbanded this time is a garrison brigade of 15 people formed by as many as [-] immigrants transferred from the North, Northeast, Shandong, Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, and the Western Regions. These [-] people will become the line of defense. The young and middle-aged people in the world live while storing up troops.

Once there are police, the local garrison brigade of 3000 people can quickly recruit these 500 disbanded youths as troops, and then add some old people and young people, and in an instant, a group of several soldiers can be organized in a very short time. An army of 10 people is used to resist the possible invasion of the Qing Dynasty.

These disbanded youths, together with the garrison brigade and the local people, began to build dirt roads from their settlements to nearby settlements, connecting the settlements, and building some fortifications and camps to resist soldiers and bandits. Harassment, immediately and the Qing Dynasty will change from allies to potential enemies. This is the most important point for Zhang Qiang, who established his country with military force and started his career with war.

From the Sea of ​​Okhots to the Kazakh grasslands, there are one hundred garrison brigades of 800 people distributed along the defense line of more than 3000 kilometers. At each corresponding point, a garrison brigade of 500 people is disbanded and distributed in the vicinity. In the surrounding settlements, there are 45 troops available on such a 100-kilometer defense line. With a little mobilization, a million soldiers and horses can be formed to deal with the enemy's initial invasion. The field army garrison divisions within [-] kilometers, seven field army garrison divisions asked for help.

The garrison division is not full, they also disbanded one-third of the soldiers and horses in the local area, and then stationed one-third of the soldiers and horses in various places, and only one-third of the soldiers and horses assembled, leaving half of the soldiers and horses to guard the city. Half of it can be called up at any time as a mobile force. When it is not called up, it is used to monitor those who build roads, or to set up passes or toll stations to be stationed and become the Tiantian Corps. Only one-third of these troops can receive military pay, and two-thirds I have to live by myself, this is also a helpless thing, after all, the initial cost is too high, and it will cost a lot to maintain the 100 million troops in the later stage, so I have to pay 40 troops, and then let others turn into half-civilian and half-civilian, and usually serve the people , Called up for training for a month or two during the war, and then went into battle.

This model is also implemented in the Western Regions. The territory of the Western Regions is wider, close to the Caspian Sea, reaching the Iranian border of later generations, bordering India, going deep into the Bengal Sea, and then extending upwards to the Persian Gulf, from the Persian Gulf back to Andaman Island, From Andaman Island to Indonesia, from Indonesia to Australia, from Australia back to the Sea of ​​Japan, from the Sea of ​​Japan to the Bering Strait, what a vast territory it is.

The Huaxia Army dispatched 300 million troops to conquer such a large territory, but they needed 200 million troops to defend. These troops can only pay one-third of the army's salary, and then the other half will be farmed, half civilians and half army, and half will be disbanded and become civilians. They are the militia when they are called, they are the garrison after training, and they are all field troops when they are in war.

This requires military expenditure of 400 million soldiers and horses, and half of the military expenditure of 200 million soldiers and horses.With the establishment of each governor's district, Zhang Qiang sent all his confidants, civil servants, and heroes to the governor's district and asked them to guard the mainland and the core area for China.

It is equivalent to putting a safety valve around the Huaxia Kingdom. Once the enemy attacks, the governor's district will be attacked first, and troops can be mobilized from the core area to support the governor's district.

With the long and stable days, Luzon Island, Southeast Asian states, Japan's Penglai Island, Liaodong, Liaoxi and other states that have not had wars for ten years are being upgraded to first-level governors. If there are no wars for another ten years, and the products are rich , self-sufficient, can pay taxes to the core area, and feed back the core area, the governor's area will be revoked, and these areas will be merged into the core area, and China's territory will be truly expanded.

The current territory is only a few hundred square kilometers larger than the map of later generations, and it is not yet complete.

Now that materials are returning to the country, the quality of the population is gradually improving, immigrants no longer go out, and many people have been stable for several years, the core area has regained stability, and they have begun to sing praises. The satisfaction of the people is getting higher and higher, and the speed of travel Faster and faster, there are more and more scholars and beauties like in later generations, and the economy is getting more and more prosperous.

In the core area of ​​the core area, Jinling, Yanjing, Xijing, and Wuhan, a circular line of the horse-drawn railway has been built, and the horse-drawn railway has also begun to be upgraded. From the original, it could only pull two carriages and two horses. Carry only about forty people, travel fifteen miles, then change horses, change carts, and then travel thirty miles, change horses and carts, upgrade to three horses, four carts, take more than 60 people, and travel fifty miles Changing horses and carts, such short-distance travel costs a lot and is of little use. Compared with a single horse running on the road, a single cart can pull a dozen people at a much slower speed, and the speed of transporting goods is not very fast. .

Later, four horses and eight cars transported 85 to 100 people, traveled 75 miles, and changed cars. In fact, 75 miles was already the limit for ordinary Chinese people to travel. Only official cars or officials took them. When riding in military vehicles, cargo delivery will be more and more concerned about the number of people and goods being pulled, and whether it is fast or not. Ordinary people don't care about these at all.

Chapter 2 Building the Chinese Empire [-]

Later, five horses and nine carts transported 85 to 100 people and traveled ninety miles. The road was widened to accommodate more horses and carts.

In the future, from Yanjing to Urumqi, from Urumqi to Lhasa, from Lhasa to Kabul, from Kabul to Kunming, from Kunming to Guilin, from Guilin to Guangzhou, from Guangzhou to Zhangzhou, from Zhangzhou to Ningbo, from Ningbo to Shanghai, from From Shanghai to Hangzhou, from Hangzhou to Yangzhou, from Yangzhou to Jinling, to Jining, to Jinan, to Qingdao, to Yanjing, to Dalian outside the customs, from Dalian to Shengjing, from Shengjing to Kulun, from Kulun to Urumqi, this The second-line Daerhuan-Malaysia Railway was successfully constructed, encircling the whole country.

Two trains are sent, one is only for three stops, fifteen miles, thirty miles, and two horse-drawn carriages for 45 miles, and one is for ninety miles, nine carriages with five horses, four One car for people, four cars for pulling goods, one for official commuting cars, post post mail cars, and the wealth of the grooms who pull the cars and the fodder, drinking water, and food for the horses.

If you sit down one stop at a time, you can really circle the whole country along the second ring horse-drawn railway within a year. Hehe, this speed is a bit slow, but compared to people riding horses on the road or people driving cars Safe or comfortable.

If you take the inner circle, you need to take a horse-drawn train for three months, and the outer circle takes one year.

Basically, when the domestic horse-drawn train railways were almost built, the branch roads connecting the various nodes in the inner circle began to be built. The first thing for officials in various places to take office was to study which one could be built, leading to that county. The horse-drawn train railway, or can it be upgraded and improved to improve the performance and speed of the horse-drawn train railway? In the country of the Chinese Empire, especially the core area and the governor's area, it is no longer how to build roads, open up wasteland, or improve the lives of the people. level, but began to play with high-tech horse-drawn trains.

In this day and age, that's obviously high tech.

With the end of the Siberian War, the development of principles in the Northeast and other places, land reclamation has turned into a booming era, many roads have begun to be built, and many rivers have begun to be dredged. Now there is no such thing as the previous army of millions of captives at every turn. It can only be the government. Develop a part, and then contract a part to the merchants, and the Huaxia Army used criminals and some Russian captives sent by the Qing Dynasty and those Han rebel captives as part of the funds to participate in the construction. The merchants gave some benefits to the government, and the government gave some tax relief. Cooperate in the development of Northeast China.

It can be said that the entire Chinese Empire has entered a crazy era of infrastructure construction. Only more people and more workers are needed. Up to now, there are no unemployed people there.

If there are unemployed people, they will be forced to be sent to Siberia to build Siberia. Now all the roads in Siberia have not been completed, and they have only reached Vladivostok, Chita, and Omuminsk on Lake Baikal from Harbin. Other places have not yet extended to the past. Now a group of people in East Siberia are fighting there. As time goes by, their number is also increasing. Some are recruited by businessmen, some are sent here by the government, and some are forced here.

In Eastern Siberia, Central Siberia, and Western Siberia, the task of building a barely connected dirt road, upgrading it to a road, or opening wider dirt roads and more branch roads is still waiting for them.

On the other hand, the Horse-drawn Railway meticulously followed Zhang Qiang's idea and prepared for the steam locomotive that will be invented in the future. It is considered qualified, so it is very laborious and slow to build.

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.Promote Jin Lin to lead the 11th Field Brigade, Ma Sanli to lead the 12th Field Brigade, Du Ge to lead the 6rd Field Brigade, He Jin to lead the 13th Field Brigade, and the remaining Field Brigade No. 13 Field Brigade to be transferred to the southwest of Guangzhou. Ma Han took over the No.[-] field brigade, and then transferred Feng Wuyu's second field brigade to the southwest defense line, and Feng Wuyu followed to the southwest defense line to take charge of the work there.

Xuanyuan Longfei was transferred to Wuchang Mansion, and the Fifth Field Brigade still followed.

Ruan Jin took over Ma Weixing's [-]th Field Brigade and was stationed in Anqing Prefecture. The generals were changed, but the soldiers of the [-]th Field Brigade did not move, and the station did not move.

The Ninth Field Brigade did not move, and the commander was replaced by Bagyalu. The Third Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the central Jinhua Mansion, and Wei Wuji personally took charge of it.

Ma Weiren, the commander of the Ninth Field Brigade, went to take over the No.18 Field Brigade and stationed in Hanyang Prefecture.

The No.20 Sixth Field Brigade was transferred from the Hubei battlefield to defend the Southern Ming Army in Shaoguan, Guangdong.

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.
