Chapter 618: The Reign of Datong
Since the crossing, Ning Yu has always been a little unable to integrate into this era, and even chose to rebel impatiently, hoping to make this world what he imagined in his heart earlier.
However, after the successful rebellion, Ning Yu also became the emperor who founded the empire, but at this stage, he found himself more and more integrated into the identity in front of him, enjoying the cheers of thousands of people, and enjoying the supreme glory of being able to decide the world with one word, and he gradually forgot a lot of things.
Ning Yu remembered the steam engine and the Industrial Revolution, but he forgot the most fundamental thing, so that when he was thinking about the change in the military system, he didn't realize it at all, until he communicated with Ernst, and he instantly understood that it was not that he had forgotten, but that he was consciously avoiding this change.
"I ...... No, I'm so used to who I am and I'm so addicted to everything that power comes with it, I simply can't get rid of ........"
Ning Yu lowered his head deeply, he didn't know the future historical trend, but if someone wanted him to hand over the power in his hands and obediently make a rubber stamp, then Ning Yu's first reaction was to let people kill him.
How could he give up the power in his hands? It's simply not possible!
Ning Yu silently told himself in his heart that only he was a traverser, and only he could understand the direction of future history, if Huaxia wanted to stand on top of the world, it must not lack power, and even his power should be greater, and no one could use any reason to balance his hands and feet!
As for the question from the beginning, Ning Yu already had the answer in his heart, and naturally understood what to do next, that is, the compulsory military system will be established on the basis of compulsory education, that is, the method of universal grassroots education will be used to increase the potential qualified military service population.
In the absence of enough incentives and education, forcibly requiring ordinary people across the country to recognize the compulsory military system is essentially no different from catching strong men, and they will not be able to work hard for Emperor Ning's ambitions? Naturally, there will be no combat effectiveness.
So in the future, after the people have completed large-scale literacy education? will begin to slowly establish a system of conscription, if that time? The people are beginning to develop a sense of citizenship? Ning Yu can consciously begin to cede power to the cabinet, so that the cabinet can bear the grievances of the world.
"As for the great changes in history in the future? Naturally, I will arrange everything properly and wait until the crown prince succeeds to the throne? Can you be a hypocrite? He's still ...... young anyway."
Ning Yu thought for a moment of Ning Chengze, who was studying at the Imperial City Public School, and instantly made up his mind, as long as he could smoothly transfer part of the imperial power to the cabinet, and before that? Can he be emperor for at least another fifty to sixty years? It is completely possible to expand the influence of the Ning family to all levels of society, and cultivate the spokesperson of the royal family in all classes, and then the Ning family can sit back and relax with the merits they have created.
Ning Yu, who has completely completed the change of mentality, raised his head again? looked at himself in the mirror, and his eyes were extremely determined? There was no longer the slightest doubt and wavering.
"I am the country, I am the world!"
..........
April of the seventh year of innovation? The Kyoshi once again convened a cabinet meeting and a meeting of the Privy Council, and the monarch and ministers gathered together.
When Ning Yu changed his previous resolute attitude? Do you mean that the change in the military system will not happen overnight? When shouldn't you be in a hurry? Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that the emperor finally doesn't want to toss!
After all, when the emperor threw out this problem, many people thought about it so much that their hair fell out, although they didn't think of Ning Yu's layer at all, but they also vaguely felt in their hearts that this matter was probably not only a matter of military system, but also involved more sensitive issues.
However, when Ning Yu chose to stop in this matter, he did not completely announce the end of the military reform, but was ready to start from another direction, that is, to take this opportunity to purge the veterans of the Fu Han Army, and further improve the selection and assessment of the officer system, so as to maintain the mobility of the army.
In addition, Ning Yu also announced that the military justice department of the whole army will be upgraded, and it will officially become a formal military judge advocate advocate general under the Privy Council, and then all military-related cases will be separated from Dali Temple and directly handed over to the military law department for disposal, and there will also be a separate supervision department to be responsible for the supervision of the whole army, specifically to strictly investigate corruption and discipline violations in the army.
Ning Yu looked at the Privy Council members in front of him, and said in a condensed voice: "In the past, I always thought that wartime was extraordinary, and some things should not be too harsh, but now I think that if I continue to let some people sit in this position, he will only affect the combat effectiveness of the army, and I will never tolerate it." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has words to play." Privy Deputy Cheng Ming came out to play.
"Speak."
Cheng Ming said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister used to think carefully, originally my mission to restore the Han army was to expel the Tartars and unify the mountains and rivers, but now the Tartars have been destroyed, the world has been unified, and even the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the past will be completely recovered. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Ning Yu's mouth, Cheng Ming's words meant a little bit, so he nodded and motioned for him to continue.
After Cheng Ming was encouraged, he continued to speak: "The minister thinks that now that the army of my Great Chu Economic System continues to be called the Fu Han Army, I am afraid that it is a little nondescript, so it is better to change the name to reaffirm the righteousness, in order to justify the name." ”
Ning Yu's heart moved, but he didn't directly agree, but looked at everyone with a smile, "What do you think?" If so, what should I do? ”
"The minister thought that the matter of changing the name had reached a critical juncture, and the minister seconded it."
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
Privy envoy Ning Zhongyi was the first to express his thoughts, and then others also expressed their approval. It's just that everyone agrees with the attitude, but no one comes up to suggest a specific name.
Ning Yu thought about it, but said directly: "I think that my Great Chu Army should protect the family and defend the country, protect the safety and territorial integrity of my Great Chu people, and might as well change its name to the National Defense Force to show its original intention of protecting the people of the country." ”
"In the name of national defense, protect the people of China."
Everyone stood up, their eyes revealing a sense of awe, perhaps when these heavy words were pressed, they would add another layer of great aura to the legendary Fu Han army.
In May of the seventh year of the reform, after a long period of preparation, the Fu Han Army was officially renamed the Great Chu Imperial Defense Army, under the jurisdiction of the Army Command and the Navy Command, with Emperor Ning Yu as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, while the original Privy Council, which was responsible for army training, command and strategic planning, remained unchanged.
Under the condition of keeping the center unchanged, the Fuhan Army also began the largest large-scale change since its establishment, that is, the original field army and garrison army system were re-decomposed and turned into an active-duty, reserve and militia system, in which the army establishment and the coordination of combat personnel were also re-changed, and the theater system was divided.
The original army of more than 700,000 people will be laid off from active duty, mainly covering those soldiers who are too old or physically disabled, and some soldiers who voluntarily transfer to the active army, they will enter the reserve system or be directly discharged from the army and enter the militia system, while those veterans with outstanding performance will be shunted to the grassroots political power throughout the country and become grassroots magistrates who consolidate the rule of the Great Chu.
The newly established national defense force is expected to select 100,000 people to join the active army nationwide, and eventually achieve a fixed 600,000 active military establishment, plus military-related equipment research, officer training, wartime hospitals, and relevant military researchers, the total number of personnel will remain at the rated 700,000, and this series of reorganization plans will be thoroughly implemented next year.
The active army of 600,000 people will be composed of 40 infantry divisions, 15 mounted infantry divisions, 3 artillery divisions and 2 cuirassier divisions, and they will constitute the current active army of Ningchu, which will be under the command of the army command, and will be directly appointed and commanded by Emperor Ningyu.
As for the 1st Praetorian Guard Division stationed in Nanjing and the 2nd Praetorian Guard Division stationed in Beijing, they were directly subordinate to the Praetorian Guard Command, funded by the imperial family, and only accepted the emperor's command and transfer, and the Privy Council had no right to transfer in any name, and would strictly protect the emperor and the imperial family.
Of course, all of the above are strictly active combat armies, and in addition to active combat armies, each province will establish a reserve brigade, of which each brigade will have a strength of only 4,000 men, and pay according to the method of two-thirds of the active army, and all retired soldiers on active duty can choose to retain their military status and become part of the reserve.
They do not need to train every day, only once or twice a month, and if a large-scale war breaks out in the future, they will also complete the mobilization into the active army according to the order of the Privy Council, and expand the size of the army in a shorter time.
Therefore, this is another preparation made by Ning Yu, compared with the previous garrison, the cost has been reduced a lot, but it has strengthened the management of retired soldiers, after a brigade receives an order in wartime, it only takes ten days to expand into a division, and within a month to complete the preparation for the battlefield.
As for the active duty and reserve service, the militia system is not surprising, after all, from today's point of view, the army of the Han and Tang dynasties is quite similar to the militia, harvesting in peacetime, going out in wartime, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the local militia and township soldiers will also be organized to guard the frontier, guard the city, and maintain law and order.
In Ning Yu's thinking, the militia should become a supplement to the active and reserve forces, so he did not plan to include all men of appropriate age into the militia sequence, but to include adult men between the ages of 16 and 35 into the militia sequence, and only need to serve for ten days a year to participate in training.
However, according to Qiu Zexin's five-year construction plan for the navy, the naval command will completely eliminate traditional Chinese-style warships in the next five years, so as to ensure the relative consistency of the command of the fleet.
However, in the next five years of naval construction, the Dachu Navy will build two first-class warships, ten second-class warships, 30 third-class warships and more than 20 related auxiliary warships, and the rated navy-related service soldiers will reach about 120,000, which can meet the needs of Dachu in the future to compete for the interests of the South Seas.
When the plan for reorganizing the army was completely released, Ning Yu personally assumed the post of chairman of the Military Affairs Reform Commission, and this plan will be gradually perfected in the next five years, when the new national defense force will stand in front of the world with a more powerful posture.
And this matter has a more significant significance for Ning Yu, that is, he really saw his true nature, completely abandoned the constraints brought to him by his previous life, and no longer confused and troubled by those false names.
In the same month, Ning Yu returned to Nanjing by sea ship, and sent people to build a palace in the Forbidden City, the style is unpretentious, the whole body is made of cement reinforced concrete, since the day of completion, Ning Yu named the State Department, and decided to publish a new plan for the future here.
"In the past ten years, Da Chu has been in the midst of a long-term war, although I know that Da Chu has achieved earth-shaking changes, but after all, because of the war, many things are unsatisfactory."
Ning Yu stood on the high platform and looked at the Dachu officials in the State Affairs Hall, his expression was a little excited.
"There is still a lot of room for domestic development, we need to continue to implement the first five-year plan, and we also need to continue to insist on the development of industry and commerce, to ensure the stability of agriculture, so that the people can live a better life, and to accomplish this, it is not enough to rely on me, it is not enough to rely on you, we need to mobilize all the people in the world to create wealth together, in order to usher in a good life."
Ning Yu's clear voice was transmitted in the empty State Hall, and almost everyone could hear every word the emperor said, and at this time, everyone realized that the emperor was really famous for building this palace, at least in the Fengtian Palace, it was difficult to achieve such an effect.
"The road is also a trip to the world. I sincerely hope that in the future, the Great Chu will be able to achieve the end of the old, the strong will be useful, and the young will be able to grow, and all the people of the Great Chu will be able to do their part to build our rule of great harmony. ”
When the emperor's voice just fell, the entire government hall instantly resounded with roaring applause, everyone applauded unpassionately, and the voice soon spread out of the state hall, and soon accompanied by the breeze, all the way to the north and south of the river.
Soon, Ning Yu's speech in the State Hall was printed by major newspapers, all the way to all corners of the entire Great Chu, the emperor's speech in the State Hall was circulating in the streets and alleys, and the common people also began to spread the great achievements of Ning Yu.
"The Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and I am waiting for the people of the world, blessed!"
