Chapter 362: The Foundation of Governance
Those young students in the Luo'an Military Academy, if Lin Ziran just shouted a slogan, they wouldn't pay attention to Lin Ziran.
It was precisely because of Lin Ziran's tax restriction order that they were willing to work for Lin Ziran.
Moreover, their original intention was definitely not to be loyal to Lin Ziran, but to unify Daheng and seek benefits for the people of the world.
How can I say it, in the ideological education section of the military academy, let them understand that they have the responsibility to unify Daheng and have the responsibility to make the common people in the world live a better life!
As the so-called national disaster is at the head, the husband is responsible!
Therefore, these young officers cannot be said to be simply loyal to Lin Ziran, but should be said to be around Lin Ziran and fighting for Daheng, of course, through the necessary ideological education courses, they also let them know that only Lin Ziran can take them to save Daheng in this world, and others cannot.
And all of this, many things are actually based on such a simple policy as a tax restriction order.
The tax restriction order is the foundation, and on this basis, Lin Ziran has also issued some other policies one after another.
You say that he deliberately did this to buy people's hearts, or you said that he was really good for the people, but it is undeniable that the people of Lianguan County under Lin Ziran are the best county in Luo'an where so many counties and districts have lived.
At the very least, the general population does not have to worry about going hungry.
After all, the geographical conditions of Daheng are too good, even if it is a poor county with serious Daheng people like Lianguan County, in fact, it is not short of food, as long as the feudal towns are not so exploitative, ordinary people can also eat enough, if the normal level of taxation can be restored, then the rural economic system unique to Daheng decades ago can reappear in minutes.
The farmers of Daheng were not synonymous with poverty in the past, but in fact the backbone of Daheng, each family had hundreds of acres or even more land, and in other countries, all of them were small and medium-sized farmers.
But now the peasants in Dahengli have become synonymous with the poor, and the children of the peasant families have become the children of the poor......
This would have been unthinkable more than fifty years ago!
Countless Daheng people dream of returning to the rich life of more than 50 years ago!
But almost all the feudal towns did not give them this kind of life, and they did not even see hope.
Now, at least the people of Luo'an County see this hope in Lin Ziran.
Therefore, this contradiction came, Lin Ziran wanted to win the support of all strata, and he couldn't learn from other feudal towns to exploit ordinary people and not even eat.
However, if there is less tax collection, then the fiscal revenue will be less, even if it is supplemented by oil revenue and the profits of other government-run enterprises, but compared with the more than 100,000 troops, the gap is still huge.
Even with the current troops, in fact, Luo'an's finances will not be able to support it, not to mention the combat funds at that time, it is estimated that the maintenance funds on weekdays will not be enough.
In this case, Lin Ziran had already made up his mind that he did not plan to learn from other feudal towns and take the quantitative route.
Rather, it intends to go the quality route.
Now it is necessary to keep the total number of troops below 100,000 and maintain it as much as possible.
In the future, Lin Ziran also planned to further streamline, retire the unqualified soldiers in the army, further reduce the size of the troops, and finally control it between 70,000 and 80,000.
However, a small number does not mean that the combat effectiveness will be poor.
What Lin Ziran plans to do next is to completely take Dingjiang and other two counties in the south of Luo'an, and after the initial control, the pace of expansion will be stopped.
At least in the short term, it will not go north to Guang'an or south to Luohai.
In the future, his main energy will be on the reorganization of the troops, for example, let the troops fully replace the rear loading rifles, regardless of whether the Qingshan II rifle or the South China Sea rifle will be equipped at the same time, in short, the rifle will be fully reloaded.
At the same time, as much as possible was produced and equipped with as many rear-loading guns as possible.
The power of the rear-loading artillery on the battlefield is too great, and neither from a strategic nor tactical point of view can be ignored by Lin Ziran or even any general in the Luo'an garrison.
Seven guns in a test artillery battalion is not enough, at least one regiment or even more.
According to the current output of the Luo'an Arsenal, if you work overtime and are willing to pay high costs, it should be possible to produce 20 doors a month. 、
As long as he survives these few months, Lin Ziran will be able to pull out dozens of rear-loading artillery.
When the time comes, put these breech-loading guns on the battlefield, and it's not like seeing who kills whom!
In order to leave enough time for the follow-up troop preparation, and also to prevent long nights and dreams, Lin Ziran immediately sent part of the troops of the First Division to continue south to the south bank of the Dingjiang River and control the remaining Dingjiang County area after taking the Dingjiang Fortress.
At the same time, the Second Mixed Brigade led by Wang Dao had also moved south along the east bank of the Luo River to take over Xihai County.
This marked the reunification of Roan County after several years of division of feudal towns.
All parts of the county were re-placed under the rule of the county warden.
But unlike before, the county guard has a new owner!
He is Lin Ziran!
After the unification of Luo'an County, Lin Ziran's name finally spread throughout Nanhai Prefecture, and even to neighboring states.
Because Luo'an County is the second largest county in Nanhai Prefecture, although the area is a little smaller, it is the second largest county among the nine counties in Nanhai Prefecture in terms of population and resources, and it is located in the strategic hinterland of Nanhai Prefecture, so its strategy is very important.
In the past 20 years, four people have been considered to have hope for the unification of Nanhai Prefecture, three of whom have served as the county warden of Luohai County, and the remaining one, that is, Cheng Lingfeng, is the county warden of Luo'an County.
Of course, Cheng Lingfeng was not only the county guard of Luo'an County back then, he was also the garrison of Luo Guang, controlling the land of the two counties.
From this, we can see the importance of Roan County and the importance of the county guard of Roan County.
But how the outside world discusses himself, Lin Ziran doesn't care, and he doesn't have the heart to care, now he is busy.
Now it seems that Luo'an County is unified, but Lin Ziran doesn't think that this is the time to relax, and even thinks that he will have less time left for himself, and the future will be more dangerous.
Time does not wait for me, this is Lin Ziran's true thoughts after going south to Dingjiang Fortress.
Now that he has unified Luo'an County, he is bound to become a thorn in the side of several surrounding counties, whether it is Shao Bing of Luohai County in the south or Du Zhikuan of Guang'an County in the north, it is estimated that they are all thinking about how to send troops to destroy themselves.
Several other counties, such as the surrounding counties of Hexi, are expected to have similar ideas.
And magnifying the situation in the entire Nanhai Prefecture is also chaotic and complicated, and a large-scale war is about to break out.
