Chapter 1189: A Completely New Type of Regime
Mai Ke decided to do two things, one was to destroy the daimyo and the other was to eradicate the samurai, and then, he went his separate ways.
In military operations, there are three major armies, advancing in unison, land and water, and when necessary, the air force will also be dispatched.
Peter and Vilskoy were doing things, and Mai Ke was relieved, so after the order was given, Mai Ke let it go.
The army in the middle of the road, the sailor is led by Meng Yi, and the land route is handled by three brave generals, such as pig head, donkey head, and Henglu Junsan, and Mai Ke can also control it remotely and maintain a very basic jurisdiction.
In Mai Ke's dominant thinking, these two military tasks will not actually have any great difficulties.
Add up to a total of more than 500,000 troops, and it is not a problem to eliminate a national military force without a unified leadership, or countless independent small groups.
Not to mention, the Celestial Army still has a very powerful leading party!
At present, among the aborigines of the Dongying Island Country, there are Tokugawa Iekei and Sanjo Masao, and there is a special operations brigade with a pig's head.
In terms of land, the Celestial Army has occupied all of Ezo, almost the entire territory of Higashiyama Province, most of Hokuriku Province, and part of Tokaido.
In short, all the territory east of Edo is now under the name of the Celestial Army.
The next step is to establish the corresponding local political administration and turn these temporary victories into permanent ownership.
Therefore, Mai Ke gave an order to Zhang Zhidong.
Let him, with the full cooperation of Tokugawa Ikei and Sanjo Masao, make up for the peacock of the regime.
What kind of regime to establish, of course, is all due to Mai Ke's planning, and there is no way to brainstorm this thing.
Even Zhang Zhidong, who has the most advanced concepts, is just "middle school for the body, Western learning for use", that is, those technical things I can steal from you Western barbarians. In terms of political power building, it is better to be in China and set up various political regimes and governing concepts.
Therefore, if Zhang Zhidong is asked to come up with an idea, it would be the basic format of the Qing Dynasty in China. There are some slight improvements.
Peter may have had some ideas, but he was fighting at sea, and he couldn't worry about such things, and at the same time, his heart wasn't in that area at all.
Therefore, Mai Ke had no choice but to monopolize the power and go into battle himself.
Mai Ke's philosophy is very simple: to use the new model completely without considering any previous forces and habits.
The so-called establishment of political power is due to two factors, one of which is the ground. One is the human head.
And these two aspects were swept away by the Heavenly Army with a thunderous momentum before Mai Ke's operation.
Now, as far as the ground is concerned, there is no artificially set limit to save zĂ i.
In other words, Mai Ke can be at the mercy of whatever he wants.
Putting all the state's land into one?
No problem!
Divided into a thousand small pieces?
No problem!
Can the boundary line be drawn at any time, and can even be changed at any time?
Absolutely no problem!
If the boundary is uncertain. Isn't it a common occurrence of disputes?
Seems like a legitimate concern, but. If you know the ruling philosophy of the kingdom of heaven, you know that this concern is completely unnecessary.
Because the division of these management areas is purely for the convenience of serving the needs of residents!
And not to get a profit from this place!
And all the administrative divisions before the kingdom of heaven were divided among interests, and there were countless contradictions.
For example, who is in charge of a place, if not very sure. According to the principle of service, that is, the political authorities of the two relevant regions, they have to come to the door to provide services.
Because the sole purpose of these regimes is to serve these inhabitants. The highest principle is that they are all satisfied.
Both regimes are actively serving, is it possible to quarrel with each other over this?
In addition to this, the Kingdom of Heaven has a higher principle that regulates and advocates the handling of relations between fraternal units.
That is, laying down one's life for one's brother!
Under this principle, lest we not do enough for the other party, how can there be a conflict of interests?
All the territory was ground into a blank sheet of paper by the Heavenly Army, and without considering the various hostile relations of the original social forms, Mai Ke's work became simple and easy.
In terms of heads, the Celestial Army completely destroyed the old forces.
Whether it was the emperor's nominal master of the country, the actual rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, the daily supervision of the daimyo, or the strong deterrence of the samurai, all disappeared!
The rest of the interpersonal relationships are all equal, and they can all give full play to their talents according to their own expertise.
That is to say, there will be no more oppression and deception.
The relationship between people is one of thinking of each other, and in essence, it is a relationship of laying down one's life for one's brother.
Only sacrifice oneself for others, and never let others for their own interests and harm his interests.
At the same time, they are also able to limit their own local interests for the sake of the overall situation.
All of Mai Ke's major plans are to work in such an environment.
Only in this case can Mai Ke give full play to the greatest management talent he already has!
This concept of governance of Mai Ke was not realized even in the United States at the time of his travel.
On the contrary, the United States is a typical capitalist system.
The most important thing about the so-called typical capitalist system is complete capitalism.
That is, the capitalist economic base, which determines the capitalist superstructure.
This economic foundation can be spoken of in terms of money, but it is not as simple as that.
To be precise, it is the person whose concept is determined by money to exercise the right to speak.
Starting from the grassroots level in this way is to speak purely by strength.
What strength?
Of course, economic strength, pay attention to the word "pure".
Of course, after having economic strength, other strengths can be developed, including soft, hard, neither soft nor hard, semi-soft and semi-hard.
Again, the word "pure" is still a must.
Otherwise, those other strengths that do not develop according to their economic strength will have a very good chance to take out the opponents with strong economic strength.
Before Mai Ke crossed the United States, he did this kind of thing.
Although the United States is still comparatively speaking. The purest form of government that speaks of economic power.
But this system is based on private ownership, individualism, and therefore, it is also a fundamentally unfair system in which the minority determines the interests of the majority.
This unfairness makes contrasting with the teachings of the Bible. It is also a comparison of the form of government that Mai Ke will build.
According to the Bible, God's primary purpose in creating the world was to glorify Himself and at the same time to make people rejoice with Him.
However, private ownership such as capitalism has completely destroyed these two articles.
The glory of God becomes the glory of the capitalists themselves.
Rejoicing with God becomes that they base their joy on the suffering of others.
While they were living a life of arrogance and lasciviousness. The exploited toiling masses are starved of food, hunger, cold, and death.
This scenario is incompatible with the new political system that Mai Ke is about to establish.
The interpersonal relationship of the new regime is "a brother laying down his life."
In fact, although the relevant concepts are implemented more thoroughly, in essence, they are the same as the previous holy city system.
It's just that the original holy city is for the old things. Those who can accept it will tolerate them for the time being.
Thus, there is the phenomenon of the coexistence of the new system and the old system in one entity.
And those old systems. Some can be transformed, for example, some cultural factors of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius can become within the new system, and the cultural factors after adjustment and transformation still exist and coexist with the new system.
And here in the island country of Dongying. The old things, those things that Mai Ke had determined to be factors that had developed into militarism, Mai Ke was determined to eradicate them, not giving them the slightest chance of revival.
Therefore, these places are a blessing in disguise. To become a model of government for a new type of economy.
As for the people's aspirations, all the people are in the heart, and Mai Ke is not worried at all.
The benefits of the kingdom of heaven to the people are obvious to all, and there is no one who is of normal intelligence who does not rejoice and flock to it.
Mai Ke laid out the nature and blueprint of the new political structure, stipulating that each holy city should be about 10,000 square kilometers, and if possible, a square plot of land with a length and a width of 100 kilometers.
In this way, including the territory that has been taken by the Celestial Army, as well as those that are planned to be occupied, the Four Holy Cities can be established.
The existing provinces, countries, and counties are all null and void.
One of the main reasons why the original roads were called roads was that there was a main road in that area, called the National Highway, the Goki Seven Road, which means that there were seven such national roads throughout the island of Dongying.
Now these so-called national highways, in Maike's blueprint, have been reduced to the point of dispensability.
That is to say, if they do not serve as an auxiliary to the Triad and Pivot Project, they will be abandoned or transformed to serve other purposes.
If they are used for a new purpose, they will be submerged in the mobile transportation system, and will no longer appear under their original names.
In short, even such traces will disappear in the new tide of Maike.
The reason for their disappearance is mainly because their functions are far from meeting the operational needs of the new system, not that Mai Ke deliberately sold the stolen goods.
It is a natural instinct for people to generally accept better things and stop memorizing outdated things.
Especially these residents of Dongying Island Country are more receptive!
They always see good things and use them for themselves, as if they were theirs.
At least there's a cute side to it, and you don't think it's best to have only your own things.
At least it is not more serious, and everything that is good claims to be the founder.
When planning the holy city, Mai Ke fully considered the characteristics of the many islands around Dongying Island and Honshu, stipulating that the area of these places could be smaller, and the principle of proximity should be adopted, and if it was too far away, it should not be forcibly zoned together.
In particular, as was customary at the time, the area was calculated according to the land area, and only the land area was counted, not the surrounding waters.
In this way, although the surface area of those holy cities is smaller, the sum of the water and land area they actually cover is much larger than that of those holy cities that are purely land.
Especially in the future, after the development of various marine industries, marine fisheries and trade, such holy cities will be far stronger than those inland holy cities.
Mai Ke came up with a plan and handed it over to the three generals to implement.
Among them, Zhang Zhidong is in charge of the middle road, Tokugawa Iekei is in charge of the northwest first-tier coastal cities, and Sanjo Masao is in charge of the southeast coastal cities.
As for the local leading party, there is really no need to worry about this.
The two major families of Tokugawa and Sanjo, each with one hundred and eighty people, have no problem, and they can all help their patriarchs in specific operations.
Zhang Zhidong found another way to clear the Henglu Jun family.
Shunichi Yokoji is in charge of the Ezo land and cannot be moved lightly; Shunzo Yokoji is the commander of the Third Route Special Operations Team in the Heavenly Army, and he is a key position, but he cannot give up.
So, Shunji Yokoji came out blatantly.
This guy was originally the brains of the family, responsible for taking care of the family's affairs, and would never leave the family's headquarters!
He himself came to Zhang Zhidong, hugged him, and said that he came resolutely, had a little experience in establishing political power, and hoped to help the Heavenly Army.
At the same time, he revealed that the current backbone of Yokoji Jun, mainly from Yokoji Junsi to Shilu Junyi, has been lurking in various places, and the contact information of these people is all with him.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are more than 100 villages in the country, there are people from his Henglu Jun family!
In addition to the help of these big families, Mai Ke also adopted a very trick.
It is to recruit the three Dongying Special Brigades, let them select 300 people in their own teams, and hand them over to these three people for use.
Mai Ke put forward several requirements, and summed up in one sentence, that is, these people are good leading parties!
On the positive side, they are all excellent warriors who faithfully obey the Celestial Army!
For these 900 people, Mai Ke personally gave them a lecture, telling them that their task was to establish a holy city!
If well done, they can take on positions at all levels in the newly built Holy City!
There is no quota now, and if you do a good job, there is a possibility that all 900 people will stay.
Compared to making meritorious contributions on the front line, this mission seems to have more benefits!
Although these people have been trained by Mai Ke to be less concerned about those economic interests, if there is a benefit, everyone is still very happy to get it.
So the nine hundred went away with joy.
Mai Ke can expect that this arrangement will be realized as scheduled.
When the dust settled, Mai Ke sent Tokugawa Iekei, Sanjo Masao, and all their retainers to the easternmost part of the east and west coasts, from where they needed to establish the holy city.
Then, together with Mai Ke, Mai Ke went to the middle road, that is, Aomori, which was the initial area of the middle road.
Just when he was taking off, Zhang Zhidong asked Mai Ke: "Mai Ke, what did you arrange for Sanjo Yuyu, I haven't seen her in the past two days, she came here with Tokugawa Iekei's grandson a day ago." â
"What?" Mai Ke was shocked, she didn't even show a figure!
Could it be that something went wrong?.
