Two hundred and twelve chapters ending
Li Zhe actually didn't know what this space-time system was. In fact, the space-time system was right. With Li Zhe's IQ and the knowledge system he had, it was really difficult to understand. After all, the time-space shuttle is always a fantasy for all the existing scientific knowledge in modern time and space!
Li Zhe is not a scientist and has no deep interest, so he can only throw it out. What is more meaningful to him is the new abilities given by the space-time system and the evolution shown! This is what can make Li Zhe more interested at present, because these things can obviously help Li Zhe realize greater ambitions! These are more realistic things for Li Zhe!
After the agent of the time and space system stopped bragging for a long time, Li Zhe's mind finally returned to the real world. Looking around, he found that everything was still at the moment when he brought the crown. Everything around was still exactly the same as the moment he left, and there was not even a trace of shocked eyes. After a brief pause, everything continued again, as if everything had never happened. In this exchange in his mind, in real life, time actually stopped! This made him sigh again about the power of the time and space system.
As a result, Li Zhe successfully completed the proclaimed emperor and officially became the Shenwu Emperor of the new Ming Empire. Unconsciously, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. From now on, he will command the world to follow everything, and the army will be invincible everywhere. With Li Zhe's prestige in the Ming Empire, he may be the emperor with the most concentrated power in the entire Chinese history. It is truly a word of nine tripods and nine five supreme! It is almost the pinnacle of the concentration of power in the entire human history!
However, the name has changed, but the basic system under the rule has not changed much. Li Zhe's previous political system was designed for this moment, and it is quite different. Even if it is really inappropriate, it only needs to be fine-tuned in the process of continuous implementation, without major changes. The only thing that has changed is that the religious status of Tianshidao was officially designated as the national religion of the Ming Empire, and was renamed Tiandaoism! Li Zhe's Ming Empire, the Tiandaoism system will be an important part of the country and society, and will form a system of its own, and will play a role outside the administrative and military system of the Ming Empire! Check and balance the military and political fields!
Next, the most important thing is adaptation and reward! Your Majesty the Emperor has been upgraded and has been justified. Your subordinates cannot be without any benefits, that is too unreasonable. In fact, Li Zhe even suspected that these subordinates were so eager to support him and proclaim himself emperor because of this.
Of course, the most important thing is that military reform and rewards, the so-called reform, is actually expansion of the army! Li Zhe's current military strength has greatly exceeded the previous system, and he has to make changes in organization.
Wei Yan's Chang'an Military Region is currently the largest military region and has the largest army, with a field force of 60,000 and a slave army of 180,000 (well, in just a few months, the population of Xianbei slaves disappeared by 20,000, which shows how high the elimination rate of the slave army is!) It is extremely large in scale.
However, the tasks that the Chang'an Military Region had to undertake were still extremely heavy. Since the complete defeat of the Xianbei last year, a new wave of surrender has emerged. With the measurement of Zhang Lu from Hanzhong, he had to directly lead more than one million people under his jurisdiction to announce their surrender. The Hanzhong Plain entered Li Zhe's hands. From then on, the Shu strategy began to enter the preparation stage.
The Chang'an Military Region is still the main force in the Shuzhong Strategy and the Xiliang Strategy. From the long-term development, the organization of the Chang'an Military Region will not only not be reduced, but will continue to expand. Li Zhe adapted the troops under the original Fuyuan Army into two armies, Fuyuan Army and Jingyuan Army. Xiahou Yuan, the former Fuyuan Cavalry Regiment general, was appointed as the commander of the newly established Jingyuan Army, with cavalry as the main force, and is still under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an Military Region. It absorbed a considerable number of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, such as the elite personnel of the Murongfeng tribe, which had a high degree of sinicization and was almost the same as those of the Central Plains.
The freshly born Fuyuan Army and Jingyuan Army will be large-scale field troops of 50,000 people in the Fifth Regiment, and will undertake the main foreign combat tasks in the future.
The newly established Northeast War Zone will be responsible for the mobilization of the entire Northeast and Korean Peninsula. Of course, the current Korean Peninsula is no longer called the Korean Peninsula. Its name is changed to Lelang County and Daofang County at the end of the Han Dynasty. Zhao Yun was the governor of the Northeast War Zone. The difference from the military region is that the organization of the war zone is only responsible for the coordination of war affairs, unlike the military region, which is like the military region, and directly manages the civil affairs of the territory under its jurisdiction. The Weiyuan Army and Zhenwei Army under its jurisdiction are both 50,000 people in the Fifth Regiment. Since the strength of the nomadic people in this area has been greatly weakened, this army is actually an absolute advantage for them.
The newly established Southern War Zone was responsible for the strategy of all other places in the south except Shu. The Zhenhai General Huang Zhong was appointed as the governor, but his troops made large-scale changes. Cao Ren had marched to Nanjun and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to form a tug-of-war Zhennan Army, which was strengthened again, and added a large number of troops in the mountain flying tiger camp that were previously under the control of Hua Tuo, and became a special mountain field army.
However, Huang Zhong's Zhenhai Army was revoked and divided into three again into three fleets, namely the North Sea Fleet (Sea of Japan, formerly Baikal was renamed Kunlun Lake), the East Sea Fleet and the South Sea Fleet were equipped with a large number of marines, each with 30,000 troops, which would become the main force of the Southern Expedition! The commanders were Zang Ba, Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao. It is worth mentioning that Su Fei, the general of Jiangxia County, and his close friend Gan Ning, became officers of the South Sea Fleet under Zhang Liao's troops.
During the Yellow River water war, the navy's power was fully demonstrated, proving that the navy had the ability to become a separate branch of the army and could undertake combat tasks. This made Li Zhe determined to quickly expand the navy and promote the arrival of the Age of Discovery as soon as possible.
In this way, after the military system is reorganized, the entire Ming Empire will have five field troops with 250,000 field troops. One of the Zhennan Army is a field army specially used for mountain combat. In addition, there are three navy forces, with a total of 90,000 combat personnel galloping above the ocean.
While the reform was underway, Li Zhe also rewarded his subordinates. The titles of the generals were generally promoted one level and two levels, and the soldiers were also divided into fields, creating a large number of new landlords and proletarians.
The higher-level military rank above the General of the Central Army, the general, officially became the organization of the Ming Empire. For the first time, only three theater-level commanders - Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong became the second-class third-class general.
It has only been two years since Li Zhe started his army. This group of veterans from the Ming Empire is in their prime. After the land is divided, they will become the most loyal supporters of Li Zhe's regime, and have been tempered into elite soldiers who have been tempered into steel in repeated battles. Under the guidance of Li Zhe, they will open up all directions.
Secondly, it was administrative issues. Last year's series of wars created a large area of new occupied areas, and various people's livelihood affairs followed one after another. It caused a large gap in civil affairs officials. For this reason, it was inevitable that officials from the Xudu court had been greatly promoted. In addition, the new territory also required a large number of administrative personnel to move in. The new imperial examination attracted more talents and enriched these new occupied areas, but the supply was still in short supply. Finally, the trade unions and the Tiandaoism once again released personnel into the court system on a large scale, and barely met the requirements. Finally, everyone was happy.
Among them, the Donghetao Plain of the Southern Xiongnu was completely incorporated into Bingzhou, and the territory of the new Bingzhou once again became the Bingzhou with a huge territory that reached Yinshan during the heyday of the Han Dynasty. However, this time, Li Zhe encouraged the Han people on the frontier to develop grasslands using new technologies, promote the planting of new grasses on a large scale, and rode horses to become Han herders who grazed cattle and sheep, and created a cooperative pasture method, scientifically and rationally planned and utilized pastures, trained better livestock breeds, and promoted the occupied land of the Han people step by step toward the depths of the grassland.
This reform was at that time for the Ming Empire. The sudden disappearance of nomadic tribes caused the economic cooperation between the Central Plains and the nomadic people to stagnate. The huge demand for animal power and fur in the entire Central Plains region that erupted during this intermittent period will make the herdsmen industry a complete and huge profit, and will also encourage the Han people to put down their hoes and become Han herdsmen riding on horseback. This process of Han herdsification will greatly deepen economic cooperation between the grassland and the mainland, and will also help the Han people truly control the beautiful grassland in the north.
Youzhou is also an important region and has always been a huge potential threat to the Han people in the Central Plains. The central government of China has been destroyed by ethnic minorities that came out of this region twice in history. In order to control it, Li Zhe implemented heating methods such as fire kilns and kangs, encouraged Han people to immigrate, and prepared the Northeast Industrial Zone plan, preparing to mobilize state forces, forcibly occupy and develop this place, and completely resolve the threat to the Central Plains of this region. Of course, this is a long-term process and it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.
With one victory after another, Li Zhe's territory gradually expanded and the scale of industrial continued to expand and progress. One issue began to stand out and became the most common focus issue raised by the imperial ministers, that is population!
Population is the fundamental factor of any social development. According to preliminary estimates, the population under Li Zhe's current rule is not included. If the slaves are successfully annexed Gongsun Du, it will reach about 16 million people, while the land available for development under his jurisdiction has exceeded 2 million square kilometers. For the farming people, it is absolutely vast and sparsely populated, and the situation is very serious.
In this state, even if the industrial farm policy is implemented extremely smoothly, Li Zhe's Ming Empire will face a huge labor gap and it will be difficult to create the domestic demand needed for the development of an industrial society. It should be noted that the development of an industrial society is a matter of intensive human and material investment, and it is impossible for society in a dispersed region to carry out large-scale centralized and explosive normal industrial **.
This issue will be a core issue that has long troubled the Ming Empire.
Therefore, since manpower is far from meeting the demand, the increase in labor costs and the increase in labor productivity is inevitable, and the improvement of population quality and the popularization and application of steam engines are imminent. Farms, factories, shipyards, industrial areas... are everywhere waiting for the large-scale application of mechanical power. Even if the current industrial areas are produced with the maximum horsepower, it is a drop in the bucket for the current market demand. Li Zhe's Ming Empire has emerged in the era when China has the most hungry for mechanical promotion and application!
Of course, there is another solution in addition to this, the vicious ghost circling in Li Zhe's mind!
Capture slaves! One of the biggest sins of the European colonial era in history, if nothing unexpected happens, will soon be reproduced in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms!
Finally, it is the real foundation of the country, and the top priority is education.
Population quality is the foundation of social development. Even if there were systematic social education support projects before, it is probably still difficult to meet the huge needs of industrial society development. After all, the development of the Ming Empire is an extraordinary development society that has never appeared in history. No one can predict how high the huge trend will be.
In this case, the cultivation and development of the endogenous technology system within the empire becomes particularly important. Otherwise, if the development of such a counterfeit technology in the empire stagnates and the scientific research force in the empire cannot successfully take over the baton of the development of counterfeit technology, the negative impact on the development of the entire society will be unimaginable!
To this end, Li Zhe had to make a big bet on education in the name of the emperor, and prepare and implement the National Education Plan when the national strength was still far from enough. He allocated a large amount of education funds from the Ministry of Rites and Tiandaoism every year, and began to promote six-year compulsory education for all children of appropriate age in the country he owned. In order to ensure the growth of these seeds of imperial civilization in the future, all schools will also provide free food and accommodation, and provide free milk and a healthy and nutritious diet to supplement the needs of children's growth and development.
The reason why the Ministry of Rites and Tiandaoism was required to be carried out at the same time is that these two institutions have their own advantages in this regard. The Ministry of Rites is a national administrative body and is legitimate to implement it. Tiandaoism has long had the experience of establishing orphan education, and its religious propaganda teachings have made the believers more enthusiastic about promoting Tiandao education.
This orderly competition will help promote the real progress of things.
