Chapter 1059 Go to Fusang to suppress bandits

They don't have to study military affairs to be soldiers, they can study liberal arts or science, even if they can't be big officials or big scientists in the future, but they can always be ordinary staff members or research institutes.

Anyway, Li Xuan was only worried about military issues, so as to avoid creating tens of thousands of middle and senior military officers from young military camps in the future, which would be a monster for the existing Tang Dynasty military system and could not appear.

And as long as this is solved, then the follow-up is not a big problem.

The Royal Youth Military Academy will not only recruit graduates from the young military camp, but will also recruit other outstanding students in the future.

But in the future, in order to avoid making several academy factions and the like, Li Xuan also plans to merge with the Martial Arts Academy and the Royal Youth Military Academy in a few years, an empire, it is enough to have a military academy to train grassroots officers, there is no need to be too high, disperse the teacher funds, when the army needs to be expanded, more grassroots officers are needed, just directly expand the enrollment scale, and it is not necessarily necessary to build many military schools.

After Li Xuan's reform, in fact, the young military camp in the future will become a pure genius school, and these talented students will serve as the follow-up echelon of the Royal Institute of Technology.

After all, the teaching level of primary and secondary schools in various parts of the Tang Dynasty is really poor, and it is too far from Li Xuan's requirements.

The comparison between the reformed infant barracks and the existing primary and secondary schools is generally the difference between general education and elite education.

And for the reform of the young military camps, it is not a matter of one or two days, Li Xuan has made a will, but it is estimated that it will take more than a year to adjust, and the enrollment of young military camps in the reformed provinces is estimated to be next spring.

After finishing the affairs of the young military camp, Li Xuan also paid attention to the war in Liaodong again, and now it is March, and according to the plan of the Privy Council, the spring operation has begun.

However, the distance is too far, and Li Xuan doesn't know how the battle is going in Liaodong for a while, but from last winter to now, the military has been preparing for several months, and if nothing happens, the war in Liaodong will almost come to an end this summer.

There is no way, now that the Tang Dynasty has pacified the southwest, and the northwest and north are also generally stable, you can devote the main energy to the battlefield of Liaodong, in this case, it is not easy to defeat the war, to be honest!

If the battle is really going to be lost, then there must be a problem, and it is a big problem, and Li Xuan has to carry out a major reorganization of the military.

And things are indeed the same as Li Xuan predicted, in the face of absolute strength, the puppet Ming Hui King of Liaodong can't make any waves at all.

In April, he finally received a war report from the Liaodong side, which said that the Liaodong Provisional Brigade had entered the Liaohetao area, completely cut off the Ming army in the area around the Liaohetao, and then completely surrounded the more than 50,000 Ming troops in the Ningyuan area.

Half a month later, Li Xuan once again received a report that the Sixth Army launched a general attack on the Ming army in the Ningyuan area, and after suppressing the Ming army with absolute firepower superiority through large-scale artillery bombardment, it launched a final charge general attack to conquer Ningyuan in one fell swoop, and the 50,000 Ming army was completely defeated, with more than half of the dead and wounded, and the rest were taken prisoner.

After this battle, it can basically be announced that the victory on the Liaodong side has been determined, and although there will be battles in the future, they are all over.

Therefore, Li Xuan also officially issued an order to establish Liaodong Province, and selected governors, political envoys and other officials at all levels, and at the same time issued a Ming Lin to the Immigration and Reclamation Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Cabinet, asking them to quickly and send a large number of immigrants to the Liaodong region!

This was not only used to develop Liaodong, but also to completely occupy Liaodong and use the huge population advantage to establish the rule of the Tang Dynasty in this region.

Liaodong was stable, but when Li Xuan heard that the puppet Ming Hui King led the remnants to flee into Goryeo, he knew that the war in the north had not yet ended, at least before the defeat of Goryeo.

For this reason, he once again convened a strategic meeting in front of the imperial army, and called the army and navy generals over, at which Li Xuan did not say much, but announced his decision to many generals: occupy Goryeo, let the Goryeo Peninsula, a territory of China since ancient times, return to the embrace of China and become a province under the rule of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Xuan's decision made many people who were still worried that after the battle against Liaodong, the army would have nothing to do, and the generals who wanted to put the horse in Nanshan relieved their hearts.

As long as the war continues, they will not have to worry about being laid off, and they will continue to make contributions.

Therefore, even if there is no temporary military expenditure on the Goryeo Peninsula, the high-ranking generals of the army and navy also like it very much.

As long as there is war, they don't have to think nonsense, worry about being laid off and unemployed, worry about rabbits dying and dogs cooking, and hide all the birds!

Lieutenant General Rewan even said on the spot that since the financial difficulties and the military expenses needed to attack the Goryeo Peninsula would be overcome by the army on its own, and there was no need for additional financial support.

The army's military expenditure of 2,000 a year is actually quite tight, but in order to fight a war, the military expenditure should be less than a little, and the army will work hard to overcome it on its own.

In order to squeeze out military spending, the army has even begun to lower the salaries and benefits of the officer class, and all kinds of combat subsidies have also been reduced.

In addition, the army has also begun to crack down on bandits on a large scale!

In the beginning, this kind of suppression of bandits was just a political task, but now, it has become an independent act to subsidize military spending.

Lay down a bandit's lair, and if you are lucky, you may even reap thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver as booty.

So there is no need to say anything, the army itself is very hilarious in suppressing bandits!

And this is also a direct maintenance of local law and order, so that the people's livelihood can develop more rapidly, the people's livelihood is developed, the financial revenue is more, and the military expenditure can be more.

Li Xuan also gave a few military bigwigs a thorough explanation in private, next year, the proportion of military spending will be about 30 percent, and there will be 80 million silver in financial revenue, so the military expenditure will be 24 million.

But if the fiscal revenue is 100 million taels, then the military expenditure is 30 million!

Therefore, even if it is for the sake of more military spending next year, the military will take the initiative to suppress bandits, promote the development of people's livelihood, and open up more trade routes, so that the fiscal revenue will be more and the military expenditure will be more.

In this situation, the military has worked very hard to suppress bandits, especially in Huguang, the southwestern provinces, and the northwest where there are many bandits, displaced people, and other illegal armed forces, and the military has carried out the suppression of bandits one by one.

Almost all of the reserve divisions will be dispatched, and even the main forces will be involved.

First, time, many bandit gangs in the land of China felt the bleakness of winter in spring and summer!

The army has mainly launched a campaign to suppress bandits, while the navy in the coastal and overseas areas is not far behind, and they have launched military operations against piracy.

The primary target is one of the regions where piracy has been most rampant in the last two years: the western coast of Fuso.
