Chapter 990: Kangding Region
It has been half a year since he inspected, and Zhang Qiang came to the Kangding area outside Sishan Prefecture, which has always been a weak area controlled by the Han people in China before the Ming Dynasty.
With the first division of the Guards stationed here, clearing out the remnants of the Shang Kexi Department for many years, there is basically no remnant here, basically the descendants of the Mongolian herdsmen and some remnants of the Qiang people, millions of people are scattered here, it seems that the land is sparse, but the rule is extremely firm, no one dares to doubt, because the immigrants are the Han people of Yunnan, Guizhou and Southeast Asia, and the Han people of Huguang who have been ruled by China for more than 20 years.
These people have undergone almost the same Han education as the founding of the Chinese Empire, and have become staunch Han people of the Chinese Han nationality, of course, they are originally Han people, but they were originally Ming Han people, Yongli Han people, Qing Han people, and now Chinese Han people.
The Buddhism here is all Buddhism from Henan and Fujian to preach and build temples, not the wild Buddhism from India or the Western Regions, which has always ruled here.
The soldiers and horses stationed in the Guards have been replaced three times, each Guards has been stationed for eight years, and after eight years, they are transferred back to Jinling, and the Guards of Jinling are transferred back to Yanjing to defend them, and after retirement, blood exchange, dispatch, and downgrading, that is, those people are transferred to various field armies as officers, one is to facilitate them to control the field army for themselves, and the other is to facilitate the grinding of the wildness that they grow out of these remote areas. There will be some unruly or overly ruffian people, and the soldiers of the Guards who have been changed by the environment must be disposed of, how to deal with them?
Adjust the defense of Jinling, in the prosperous place of Jinling Mansion, which has been the capital of the Chinese Kingdom for nearly 20 years, let them indulge in Gentle Township, and then transfer them to the field army to hone their minds, the field army and the Guards are not a system, and when you get to that system, you have to follow others, otherwise you won't be able to eat, this is Zhang Qiang's rational use of office politics.
When they get used to where they are, fight two wars, and survive for a few years, they can basically retire.
After the Chinese Empire stabilized, it was no longer like the era of the Jinhua Righteous Army, when the soldiers had to be for life, to the era of the Huaxia Kingdom, they had been soldiers for eight to ten years, and they had not died in battle, or they were old, they could retire, and they went back to be a village head, the assistant to the township head, or something, they were incompetent, and after one term, it was only two or three years, and they retired to the Advisory Bureau for the elderly, and after the Advisory Bureau came out, they were civilians.
In the era of the Chinese Empire, the replacement of soldiers and officers was accelerated, and the new recruits in two years were not qualified to go back to continue to be civilians, and those who were qualified entered the garrison brigade may be in the garrison brigade for the rest of their lives.
If you can't be promoted to lieutenant or captain within eight years, then you should go back to be a civil servant, enter the picket team as a catcher or officer, or other security personnel.
In short, except for being merged into the field army that is fighting outside, they are basically in the garrison brigade for a few years, and then when new recruits and cadets come in, they should be discharged.
Those who retired either returned to their hometowns or emigrated elsewhere to fill the vacancies and become new local administrators.
And these they have to rob with the field army, the field army because of the battle, of course, the credit is greater than theirs, so the treatment of retirement is not the same, you can be the village head, the person is the assistant to the township head, the town head, and the field army has to compete with the talents who began to come out of the imperial examination, and the cadres who came out of various schools to grab jobs, the best is to go to the wasteland and immigration, so there are more jobs, this is Zhang Qiang's way to deal with a large number of military personnel retiring, a large number of cadres are examined, and there is no place to resettle.
Forcing them to emigrate, to build new places.
This is Zhang Qiang's policy, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there must be some different policies, of course, there are also some drawbacks, such as what to do in the future?
But the future is a matter of the future, there will be no need for so many soldiers and horses in the future, the future soldiers and horses are two years of recruits, four years of retirement, five years of officers, six years of promotion, eight years of lifelong generals, if you can't be a general, you just retire, if it is still the original land, of course not, now thousands of miles of land, this remaining soldiers and horses, so much land is enough to arrange them.
There are so many people that there is really no place to use it, so there is also a consulting bureau, after the advisory bureau is promoted, there is also an advisory bureau, after the consulting bureau, Zhang Qiang is also ready to build a royal history yamen in Beijing, and when the time comes, the people on their line will be able to arrange retired officials and officers at all levels, and the Beijing officials can also enter the imperial history yamen as the imperial history after retirement.
This imperial history yamen is not the imperial history of the previous dynasties, but similar to the later generations of the CPPCC, the congress or something, with their years of experience, to the local government at all levels, the Beijing division of the government, the cabinet to put forward an opinion, to supervise the Ministry of Supervision or something, is equivalent to another supervision system.
Having said all this, in Zhang Qiang's view, the Kangding region also has a responsibility, that is, similar to Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, to provide Tibet or Xinjiang with a bridgehead for population and development, and to be a starting point for controlling these regions, a point for population transfer and gathering, and a starting point for the army to go out and transfer materials.
Because most of those areas are vast and sparsely populated, and the people are simple or fierce, if you can't control these areas, then it will be a big trouble in the future, and there is still a British side in India that has not been solved, and there are some remnants of the Dutch and French colonists, which is now beyond the reach of the Chinese Empire, and it is not a matter of time and a half to conquer those areas and successfully govern them.
Where there is a large population, the terrain and ethnicity are complex, and the population of the Chinese Empire is not enough to immigrate over and control that place.
The British could only occupy it first, because China had already controlled Malacca and other places, their merchant ships or warships could not come in, and they could only come by land, so it also delayed the control of the British and other Westerners over where, where it was still in a primitive form.
Zhang Qiang has already sent people from Taoism and Buddhism to fight for the natives wherever they are.
At the same time, a large number of intelligence officers from the Military Intelligence Department and the Military Intelligence Department were dispatched to collect information on the terrain, customs, climate, etc., and then to do something about it when Siberia was stabilized.
