Chapter 354: Innovation
Xu Hao does not know the origin of the name of Dalian, according to ancient records, as early as the Xia and Shang period, Dalian was the territory of the pre-Shang state, and since then there has been an ancient route from Penglai to Dalian. After Shang Tang destroyed the summer, the Fang State influenced by the Shandong Yueshi culture appeared in Dalian. Six thousand years ago, during the Bronze Age, the Liaodong Peninsula originated from the Central Plains civilization.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Dalian naturally belonged to the territory of Qi State, and Qi Huan Gong developed a large number of immigrants from Liaodong, conquered small countries to achieve hegemony, and tens of thousands of people from the defeated Lai State migrated north to Dalian.
Since then, whenever there is a war in the Central Plains, there will be a large-scale Han people who fled to the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea, and many ancestors gradually migrated to the hinterland of Liaodong, forming an ancient road from Lushunkou to the Northeast.
It is a pity that whenever the Han people spread the latest agricultural civilization, it will directly or indirectly promote the rise of a foreign race, forcing the Han people to be assimilated into a foreign race, and in the last few hundred years, after the wars of Liao, Jin and Yuan, the population of the Han people in the Liaodong Peninsula has declined to a low point, although it still occupies an absolute population advantage, but there are dozens of ethnic minorities in the territory.
History proves that only the Han people as the main body of the regime can make the people of all ethnic groups live in harmony and live and work in peace and contentment, because the Manchus have not yet been formed, Xu Hao intends to implement a strict assimilation policy of the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens in Inner Mongolia, and adopt an ethnic policy of the same status as the Han people for other small tribes with a population of less than 1,000 people, and some small tribes living in the deep mountains and old forests are allowed to multiply.
The Xu family was temporarily placed in a small county town not far from the port, and handed over the family affairs to his two sisters-in-law and wife, and he was busy planning the expansion of the port fort every day, preparing the factory and other matters, and leaving the specific affairs to Yu Peng to worry about.
Because Zhu Di canceled the arrest warrant, Xu Hao was still a high-powered general in Liaodong, and ordered Mu Yi to guard Liaoyang and Zhang Xin to assist, and the government orders and news were transmitted by land or sea. In general, there are no county and county offices in Liaodong, and most of the local health offices are independent, and most orders come from Beiping Mansion rather than Liaoyang Prefecture.
In the early stage, nearly 1,000 craftsmen moved from Qinhuangdao, and appointed Wang Jian, a highly respected Fengyang craftsman, as the factory, and set up the Dalian Arsenal, which has a shipyard and steel mill under its jurisdiction.
The nature of the Liaodong Guard belongs to the military government, and Xu Hao also believes that the most important thing is to establish a real military government, and only centralization is the most efficient political mode for the management and development of Liaodong. Inform Zhu Gaochi that he requested that his fourth brother Xu Song be transferred to serve as the hereditary commander of Gaizhou Wei, intending to make Dalian a family domain from now on.
In order to run Dalian, Xu Hao set up the Gaizhou Governor's Office. In order to encompass the people around him and the locals, he set up four departments: commander, military affairs, staff officer, and political affairs, collected well-known people from Liaoyang and other places, and appointed a large number of henchmen to serve as divisions.
In order to be different from the official positions of the Ming Dynasty. In order to achieve the goal of not being conspicuous, it is necessary to change the military rank. Even if it's not eye-catching for the time being. Let's talk about it in the future according to the actual situation.
Therefore, Xu Hao personally wrote and introduced a series of regulations, since it was a grassroots innovation from scratch, then simply learn from the modern system, enlightened and righteous ministries directly under the governor, under the command of the governor, and carry out the affairs in charge.
Commanders, military affairs, and staff departments are from junior officers and above. The Ministry of Political Affairs, from the director of the bureau and above, all have the governor's personal appointment. Lower-ranking officers shall be appointed by the Governor of the Governor's petition to the Governor.
Regarding important events such as military and political affairs and orders from Beiping Prefecture, the Governor convened a provisional military council or advisory meeting. The resolution came into force. Regarding this Xu Hao, in order to wait for the future to return to Beiping to take up a post and formulate the dead rules in advance, in addition to the convenience of remote control, the so-called one person is short of wisdom and everyone is long, but also in order to cultivate as many talents as possible to come out and participate in the core system of running Liaodong.
The Governor's Mansion has a number of secretaries, which are used by the Governor himself, so that Peng, Zhangxin and Xue Wen have become secretaries, eliminating the embarrassment of not having an official position for the time being. The general affairs section of the Ministry of Military Affairs still serves as a secretary, so a large number of young people from the Weihai Master School poured into the entire official system.
Of course, Xu Hao added another article that all military orders and the appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials belong to the governor's power.
Xu Hao also serves as the commander-in-chief of the headquarters, which is purely Xu Hao's own bad taste, influenced by a certain novel, he feels that the name of the commander-in-chief is very powerful.
In fact, the so-called headquarters is the health office, and there are a number of staff members around the thousands of households in the health office, and they contain and supervise each other, and Xu Hao's governor's mansion has set up a personal guard team of 1,000 people, four collectors, four clerks, and four delivery officials.
The Ministry of Military Affairs has a director and a deputy director, and the following seven sections: General Affairs Section, Military Affairs Section, Personnel Section, Quartermaster Section, Manager Section, Law Enforcement Section, and Medical Affairs Section.
The General Affairs Division belongs to the civilian system, which is equivalent to Xu Hao's chief butler, handling matters such as sending and receiving, compiling, preserving, printing and translating military documents. Requisition and distribution of materials, forms, reports, statistical matters, etc.
The Military Affairs Section is involved in matters such as the establishment of the army, the deployment of troops, exercises and coaching, mobilization planning, martial law and requisition, and the formulation of wartime rules.
The Personnel Division is involved in the appointment, dismissal, transfer, and appointment of generals, non-commissioned officers, and affiliated civilian officers. Personnel rosters are subject to military registration matters. Matters such as the promotion and transfer of officers, the advancement, and the reward.
Quartermaster Section's reports on military cashiers, budgets, and final accounts; Matters concerning the salaries and travel expenses of officers and men; Matters concerning the provision of military uniforms, rations, and horses.
Matters relating to the manufacture and inspection of military uniforms and uniforms by the Manager's Division; On matters concerning the use of military equipment and harness for war purposes.
The Law Enforcement Division is involved in military and political adjudication matters; All offences against military law, such as crimes, shall be decided by the Judge Advocate General's Council, except in cases where the Governor has an order for amnesty.
Medical Services Division on sanitation and drinking water matters; management of medical hospitals and sanatoriums; Hygiene materials and organizational matters of the Soldiers' Compassion Group.
The above specific configuration has to wait for time to increase and decrease the test, some are summarized by Xu Hao according to the leading troops, some are borrowed from the memory in the head, and some are one step ahead, in general, Xu Hao believes that the army must formulate strict and detailed rules and regulations, which is the inevitable development trend of military history.
Xu Hao felt that he was deficient in the art of war, and attached great importance to the establishment of the General Staff, and appointed Mu Hui as the chief of staff, two deputy chiefs, and a number of staff officers.
The staff officer assists the governor, participates in the planning of the defense and all matters related to the use of troops; The General Staff Department shall carry out all matters, and after approval and approval by the Governor, it shall be transferred to all departments and sections for implementation in accordance with the regulations.
The Ministry of Political Affairs has one minister and one deputy director, and has seven bureaus: the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the Internal Affairs Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Justice Bureau, the Communications Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the Establishment Bureau. The regulations of the Ministry of Government Affairs shall be determined separately in the future.
Liaodong is an unexplored new continent, there are no deep-rooted clans, no stubborn landlord class, no powerful and wealthy merchants, no talented people full of articles, some are just ordinary people who have fled or been forced to migrate and exiled criminals, especially in Dalian, where there are no county officials, no matter what they do, they will not encounter any resistance.
Some of the guards in Liaodong themselves were appointed by the Mongols or Jurchens, who were completely autonomous under their rule, and the imperial court basically did not interfere. Therefore, Xu Hao, as the emperor of the soil, could completely abolish the hereditary household registration system in Dalian, allow people from all walks of life to freely choose their occupations, and reclaim wasteland without ten years of taxes, but must participate in two months of labor every year, and build roads, water conservancy and other facilities.
The establishment of a compulsory six-year school, a three-year comprehensive university, and the re-establishment of the Army Academy and the Naval Academy, even if it is just to build a framework, it will take time to develop slowly.
At night, Xu Hao returned home from the construction site that was in ruins, and Xiao couldn't help but complain: "Look at the room of the red leaves and green willows, it looks like a coppersmith's blacksmith's workshop, the table is full of utensils, and what bottles, ink, and silver water are piled up all over the shelf, where does it look like a young lady's boudoir?" ”
Xu Hao smiled bitterly: "There is too much shortage of manpower, there is a shortage of everything, compared to the men outside, it is the sisters who can help me share my worries." ”
The energetic Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled, due to the extreme lack of talents, she turned from the grandmother of the Xu family to the internal affairs official who managed the farmland reclaimed in the entire Liaodong, and she could be regarded as being able to show her dream of being comparable to a man, even if she had to live in seclusion behind the scenes.
Now that he has looked forward to the excitement of the outside world, he can no longer look down on the Xu family's one-acre and three-point land, and Zhu Qiaoqiao handed over all the family affairs to Wang Xuanqing to take care of.
Zhu Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Most of those people who do things are laymen, I have been discussing with Hao'er for a few years, and I have learned something." For example, when surveying land, a bunch of people didn't have a charter for several days, so I took our old people to teach, and in a few days, thousands of hectares of land were clarified. ”
Xiao Shi shook his head helplessly, looked at the old lady and smiled bitterly: "Mother, do you look at this like words?" Qiaoqiao showed up and became an official. ”
The old lady also smiled bitterly, and Xu Hao said: "There is nothing that can't be done, in the future, girls in Liaodong can learn to work to support their families." Well! A women's college must be established. ”
"Isn't it a bit too much? Since ancient times, women have husbands and children, and you are too deviant to do so. The old lady asked.
Xu Hao made it to the kang and explained: "Liaodong is sparsely populated, and there are all kinds of alien races around it, how many alien dynasties have been produced since ancient times? Every time a foreign race rises up, the Han people will fall into bad luck, either killed or treated as slaves, and women account for half of the population, they all stay at home to wash and cook, relying on men alone to farm and work, can it be done as soldiers to resist foreigners? Here, every Han person is the most precious and cannot be wasted. ”
Liu was in a very good mood because his son was recommended by Xu Hao to be the hereditary commander, and he didn't even care about settling in the so-called bitter cold land for the time being.
Yuan Shi did the same, and said with a smile: "I originally thought that this place was desolate and cold, and the boss was not happy when he came, if it wasn't for the third brother's insistence, it was really a thousand unwilling, how do you know that this summer is not much worse than Jinling, and the scenery outside the city is unforgettable." ”
Xu Hao smiled, in fact, for his own daughters, even if they live in the most prosperous Jingshi, how many times a year can they go out? On the contrary, it is not as free as Dalian, and you can go out to play anytime and anywhere.
The Xu family has its own fleet, and all kinds of materials will be sent through various places, so many people in the family can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. With nearly one or two thousand relatives and friends coming with it, who would feel too lonely without social interactions? In the past, even if you complained after living in the deep house compound for a long time, the problem was that you couldn't go back. (To be continued......)
