Chapter 302: Steady as Mount Tai
The Sailor Academy is the source of the Daming Sailor, and the deputy chief engineer is the second-in-command of the Academy, that is to say, in the future, almost the entire Daming Sailor will be from Zheng Chenggong's disciples.
Of course, the position of the chief teacher of the academy must be held by Zhu Linmiao.
Zheng Chenggong saluted solemnly again, "The subordinates will die to repay His Highness's trust!" β
Zhu Linmiao continued: "By the way, go back and transfer Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan to be your lieutenants, these two will definitely be a great help to you." β
Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan? Zheng Chenggong was a little surprised, these two people's performance in the Dragon Guard Army was indeed remarkable, but they had never heard that they had experience in naval warfare, especially Liu Guoxuan, who should not be in the age of a weak crown.
But he knew that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King had never been wrong in his judgment, so he nodded and said, "Your subordinates obey the order." β
Zhu Linmiao looked at the back of Zheng Chenggong leaving, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart. Zheng Chenggong, who led the fleet to defeat the Dutch and recover Taiwan in history, plus Shi Lang, the "Thunderbolt of the Sea", and Liu Guoxuan, Shi Lang's lifelong opponent, are all well-known sea generals.
However, historically, they have been enemies of each other, and they have killed each other in the dark near the Taiwan Strait. And now these three people will lead the Great Ming Water Division together, how precious it is.
The Daming Navy Division has these three fierce generals, just waiting for the newly built warship to enter service, but who will dare to take advantage of it?!
In the following days, Zhu Linmiao supervised and guided the construction of the shipyard and the academy during the day, and at night compiled the naval battle line tactics in his memory into a detailed book for the use of the textbook of the Sailor Academy.
And the recital of Tianxing Mansion will also be sent to Yongbeili the next day, and he can only stay up late to approve it.
Late that night, when he tiredly opened the first recital on his desk and read a few lines, he immediately became energetic, and carefully read it from the beginning, nodding his head.
What Yu Xin reported was the progress of the army's restructuring.
According to what he said, at present, there are more than 50,000 soldiers and recruits in the entire Fujing, and except for nearly 30 percent of the soldiers and ruffians who have been sent home because they failed to pass the examination, the rest have all been reorganized into police officers and assigned to more than 160 police stations in various prefectures and counties, and some have been transferred to Jiangxi.
On the Jiangxi side, in addition to Wan Yuan Ji and Yongning Wang's department, the other guards totaled 13,000 people, but they completed the transformation earlier than Fujing. However, it was not enough for these people to be police officers, and the military department recruited more than 7,000 people for this purpose, and they were jointly divided into nearly 200 police stations.
Of course, according to Zhu Linmiao's plan, the establishment of police stations at the state and county levels is only the first step. In the future, it will continue to be subdivided until the police station penetrates into every village to form a complete police system.
He continued to look down, and the song said that the first batch of more than 3,000 policemen were going to the Longnan New Army Academy and the Jian'an Bujun Academy respectively, and they would start training on the same day.
This is also arranged in accordance with the police training plan drawn up by Zhu Linmiao in advance. After all, these "former Ming troops" have been influenced by the old-style army for too long, and they have all kinds of unhealthy tendencies, and if they are not trained well, it will be difficult to rely on them to maintain social order.
However, due to Zhu Linmi's limited energy, he was unable to build a police academy for the time being, so he could only arrange for the police officers to go to the military academy in batches to receive drills, and the instructors in the infantry academy took the time to teach them police duties.
At the same time, the Inspectorate Division, which had police functions, was abolished. This half-army, half-police institution of the Ming Dynasty had unclear functions and many ills, and it was a good time to take this opportunity to abolish it.
What Zhu Linmiao cares about the most is that Yu Xin mentioned that there were no accidents in the entire process of military transformation, and the officers were very conscious of handing over power, and the non-commissioned officers had no opinions.
This is obviously the effect shown by the group of people who cleaned up Wei Ang before.
The second half of Yu Xin's chapter mainly talks about the recruitment of new recruits.
Due to the continuous propaganda of the mission and the excellent performance of the Dragon Guard in the previous battle against Jianyu, more than 25,000 recruits were recruited in Jiangxi and Fujing in less than a month, and all of them were selected and healthy people.
What is even more gratifying is that there are nearly 2,000 people who are literate, and more than 20% of them are famous.
Zhu Linmiao thought about it for a while, and wrote a letter to Yu Xin, mainly asking him to select the outstanding ones from the literate people and send them to the Royal Officer Academy, and the others were transferred to the two military academies to study.
After the soldiers took the letter and left, Zhu Linmiao couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Now all aspects are finally ready, and we can pull out the Dragon Guard." β
He raised his eyes and looked to the southwest, "Liangguang and Yunnan can finally really return to the rule of the imperial court." β
He had previously beheaded officials to intimidate the courtiers. Now nearly forty percent of the officials in the DPRK and China are all vacated by these prisoners, and Zhu Linmiao has been promoted by himself, so he is naturally loyal to him.
Later, he increased the official salary to three times, which not only allowed him to pay a high salary, but also immediately won the support of his ministers.
This is to stabilize the officials of the DPRK and China.
Immediately afterwards, he set up a propaganda department to publicize and stabilize the people's minds. As a result, a large number of low-level vacancies have been added, satisfying the desire of the Ming scholars for rank.
From then on, the prestige of the auxiliary king among the scholars was unprecedentedly high.
In the end, during the drought in southern Fujian, he did not hesitate to invest a large sum of silver and two taels of relief, and defeated the profiteers who hoarded Juqi by transferring grain overseas, saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of victims.
Subsequently, a single agricultural tax was announced, and a parity department was established to monitor grain prices.
The people of Jiangxi and Fujian all regard him as a reborn parent.
Now the restructuring of the armed forces is finally coming to an end.
The officers who disobeyed the court have been wiped out. The soldiers, who had been exploited and sucked by the officers, were reintegrated into the police system and received their salaries directly from the military department. Now, even if some people have crooked thoughts and instigate a mutiny, no soldier is willing to fight with them.
After stabilizing the courtiers, scholars, peasants and soldiers, the foundation of the entire people will really be as stable as Mount Tai.
Zhu Linmiao believes that even if there is no Dragon Guard in Fujing Town right now, even if he leaves Tianxing Mansion for a long time, there will be no chaos in this Taizheng Dynasty.
When Zhu Yuao carried out a coup d'Γ©tat, his main force was provided by Ding Kuichu. In other words, the two governors of Guangzhou, Lord Ding, are also complicit in the crime of rebellion.
Since the Longwu Dynasty, the imperial court has been powerless in the land of the two wides. First, it was because of the lack of troops, and secondly, it was also because although Ding Kuichu was divided, on the surface, he was still under the command of Longwu, and the imperial court could not find any excuse to make trouble.
Now that Ding Kuichu took the initiative to send such a handle, of course Zhu Linmiao would not miss it.
Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the 20,000 Cantonese troops hired by Su Ping was all captured outside the city of Tianxing Mansion, Ding Kuichu had not yet eased up his strength, and it was a good opportunity to raise troops to the west and recover the lonely land of Liangguang in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the Shadingzhou rebellion in Yunnan also had a great impact on the Ming Dynasty. It was this rebellion in history that led to the instability of the rear of the Yongli Dynasty, even if Li Dingguo, the "god of war", existed, he could only hold on for more than ten years and was defeated by Wu Sangui's army.
