After the white-bearded Zuo Shilang was returned, Gao Junshan announced: "In order to celebrate the establishment of the Huaxia Kingdom, the 20th day of July every year will be the National Day of the Huaxia Kingdom. Today is the zero year old of Huaxiaguo, like a croaking baby, still in swaddling clothes. But he will grow up, he will grow up slowly, and in the future he will grow into a giant. We, the monarchs and ministers, have worked together to build the country of China into a prosperous, prosperous, and prosperous power. ”

Saying this, he looked around and raised his voice again, "In order to celebrate this glorious holiday, I have decided to give you a salary increase today!" ”

He looked around again and saw that all of them were expressionless, so he coughed dryly and continued, "A salary increase means a salary increase." ”

This time, the reaction was strong, and the audience was excited!

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The sound of long live reverberated throughout the imperial city.

Gao Junshan waited for them to shout enough, then waved his hand, and the scene finally quieted down, and he announced: "From today onwards, the first auxiliary minister (Zheng Yipin) will earn 30,000 taels of silver every year, the second auxiliary minister (from the first product) 15,000 taels, the Shangshu (Zheng 2nd product) 10,000 taels, the left and right squires (from the second rank) 5,000 taels, the third rank of the official 2,500 taels, the third grade 1,250 taels, and the fourth rank 625 taels...... And so on, everyone gets a raise. The specific details will be discussed and submitted to the Imperial Court for approval. ”

Gao Junshan's gaze fell on Liu Hongru, the head of the household department, "Wenxuan, just work hard for your household department to work overtime to make a table and present it to me as soon as possible." ”

Liu Hongru said: "Weichen is not hard, the emperor has worked hard." ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "That's it for today, today is the National Day, I will give you all a day off, go home early to celebrate the National Day, and retire from the dynasty!" ”

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

……

The next day, Gao Junshan summoned Cai Zhishan, the governor of the Five Armies, Zhou Shichen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Military Industry, and Zhou Wenjiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Navy, in the Hall of Transmission of the Heart.

These are all important members of the army, and at a glance they know that today's military meeting is being held.

Gao Junshan said: "I invite you to come here today to discuss the formation of the First Marine Brigade of the Navy, everyone can express their opinions, and I will listen to your suggestions first." ”

None of them have heard of this new term, where did they come up with any suggestions? Gao Junshan just sold a pass, waiting for them to concentrate on thinking first.

"What kind of service is this Marine Brigade?" Cai Zhishan asked.

Sure enough, these people were all confused, only Zhou Shichen, a disciple of Chongwen of Gao Junshan, knew a little bit about it, but he didn't have a clue.

Gao Junshan said: "The Marine Brigade is a unit that independently or in conjunction with the army carries out sea-crossing landing operations and anti-landing operations. When cooperating with the land landing, it usually serves as the landing advance team, which first assaults the shore to ensure the subsequent echelon landing; It can also cooperate with the army to undertake coastal defense tasks and important island garrison tasks. It is well-equipped, its fighters are of high quality, its individual combat capability is strong, and it has a strong ability to coordinate operations. ”

Zhou Wenjiang asked: "Do the fighters have to be selected from our Admiralty?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Of course, it is to be selected from the Admiralty, but it can also be selected from other units, and then it will be strictly trained. ”

Zhou Shichen said: "This year, the Military Academy has graduated a group of disciples, although the number is not large, but they are all elites, I suggest that some personnel who are suitable for island operations be selected from among them to serve as the backbone of the Marine Brigade." ”

Gao Junshan nodded and said, "I'm allowed!" ”

Cai Zhishan said: "Personnel should not be a big problem, as long as they can adapt to island operations, and after rigorous training, within two years, they will definitely be able to form a team of 10,000 people." The key is to prepare, to equip 10,000 guns, as well as ships, which depends on the old fire. ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Our military industry department has developed rapidly, and after entering the capital, it has taken over all the military manufacturing plants of the previous dynasty, especially the shipyards in Shandong, as well as the Shandong Naval Division, and the current production capacity can be described as coming in by leaps and bounds compared with a year ago." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Huo Lao is full of confidence, and I will have confidence." However, the guns produced by the Ministry of Military Industry for the Marine Brigade must be improved, the barrel should not be too long, and it must also prevent moisture and salt from harming the guns. ”

"Yes!" Sun Yuanhua said.

Gao Junshan continued: "We must get in touch with Zheng Zhilong in Xiamen as soon as possible, they have rich experience in naval operations, and we hope that they can send a group of personnel to supplement the Marine Brigade and guide the training of the Marine Brigade." ”

Zhou Wenjiang said worriedly: "I heard that Zheng Zhilong is a big pirate. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Zhenqing doesn't need to worry, I have already communicated with Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Zhilong already belongs to Huaxia, as long as we accept it warmly, Zheng Zhilong promises to firmly support us." ”

Zhou Wenjiang asked: "Who is Zheng Chenggong?" ”

Paralysis, you don't know who Zheng Chenggong is! Gao Junshan scolded in his heart, but his face remained silent: "Zheng Chenggong is the son of Zheng Zhilong, his original name was Zheng Sen, and it was not long before he changed his name. ”

Cai Zhishan said: "I have heard of Zheng Zhilong for a long time, and he is a very remarkable person. In September of the first year of Chongzhen, he took it as his mission to "cut off the Yikou and suppress the thieves", and in September of the first year of Chongzhen, he was appeased by Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and led his troops to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and appointed the "Five Tiger Guerrilla Generals" as the "Five Tiger Guerrilla Generals", leaving Taiwan, the maritime trade base he had operated for many years, and sitting in the Fujian Sea. At that time, he had more than 30,000 troops and more than 1,000 warships, and garrisoned the coast for the Ming court to prevent pirates and the Dutch from attacking. ”

Zhou Wenjiang said: "It seems that he is a person who understands the overall situation!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Fujian Governor Wu Zhiping has surrendered to us, and their purpose of submitting to us is also very clear, that is, they value our navy and hope to recover Taiwan with the help of our strength." ”

Zhou Wenjiang's eyes lit up: "Recovering Taiwan? ”

Gao Junshan said: "The recovery of Taiwan is the voice of my Chinese people, not the personal interests of local forces such as Wu Zhiping and Zheng Zhilong, but what I must do to be the overlord of the world, so their interests are the same as mine, and this is the basis for them to submit to me." ”

"The recovery of Taiwan is the glue that unites the forces of all parties along the coast of Fujian." Cai Zhishan understands more profoundly.

Gao Junshan said: "We not only want to recover Taiwan, but also fight to the island country, which is one of the steps in my whole game of chess." ”

He is the emperor, what the emperor says, these courtiers dare not object, even if they want to oppose it, they dare not say it publicly, they are not fools, they all have to carry the golden rice bowl given by the high mountain.
