Volume 15 Chapter 2 Harvesting the Fruits

The most important thing at the moment is to harvest the fruit, which includes not only the territory of the Mughal Empire, but also the territory occupied by the Dutch in Batavia, and even the incredible reserves of real gold and silver in the Mughal Empire.

The territory of the Mughal Empire is huge, it can be said that it is no less than the Ming Empire before the expansion, from the Donghu Empire in the east, to Kandahar in the west, to Mysore in the south, and directly to the foot of the huge mountain range in the north.

How can such a huge empire reap? If it is slowly defeated, it is estimated that a year is not enough, but fortunately, now that the emperor of the Mughal Empire, Shah Jahan, has surrendered, Zhu Cijiong directly ordered him to write four surrender decrees, ready to receive the territory of the Mughal Empire from the northwest, southwest, southeast, and northeast at the same time.

The northwest direction is the most important, because Kandahar still has nearly 100,000 troops of the Mughal Empire, Zhu Cijiong directly ordered Lu Xiangsheng to lead the Tianxiong army to stay in Delhi, while Hou Shilu led the First Army of the Expeditionary Force and the Siamese Army to rush to Kandahar with Shah Jahan's edict, first subdued the 100,000 troops there, disarmed and then escorted by the Siamese Army to Goa.

Hou Shilu led the First Army of the Expeditionary Force to stay directly in the northwest, the infantry artillery stayed in Kandahar, and the cavalry turned all the way back to receive all the territories in the northwest.

The southwest direction is also easy to do, now that the Mughal Empire has surrendered, there is no need for so many troops to garrison along the way, just let Qin Gongming take Shah Jahan's edict all the way to receive it.

As for the northeast direction, it was almost occupied by Cao Wenzhao's army on the eastern route, from the Mughal Empire's attack on Goa to set off a major war, to Lu Xiang's promotion to Delhi, forced landing on Shah Jahan, more than three months have passed, Cao Wenzhao has led the eastern army to build the railway to a place only a few hundred miles away from Delhi.

Zhu Cijiong directly ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead the Guanning army and the Annan army to Delhi to get Shah Jahan's edict, the Annam army directly took the prisoners of the Delhi defenders and rushed to Goa, and the Guanning army took the edict to receive the remaining land in the southeast and northeast, while the Liao army and the Donghu army continued to slowly repair with 300,000 prisoners, and repaired the railway to Delhi.

The army reception is only the first step, the next is the division of administrative regions, in the Shah Jahan period, the Mughal Empire has a total of more than 20 subas, which is equivalent to the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong directly took the map and circled, synthesized the small subba into the big suba, and finally set fifteen provinces.

As for the state capital and county, he didn't bother to divide it specifically, and a decree was directly transmitted to the capital, ordering the Ministry to immediately select the administrative officials of the fifteen provinces to come to the Mughal Empire to take up their posts, of course, this should be the last time to use the title of the Mughal Empire, and after the officials arrived, it should be called the Ming Dynasty to announce the political envoy.

It's not enough to set up a province here, after all, it's a newly received territory, if you don't send troops to garrison, you really can't guarantee that they won't rebel, such a vast territory, I'm afraid it's difficult to suppress it without 300,000 troops, but Zhu Cijiong doesn't want to put the regular army here for waste, what should I do?

Are the guards from the guard post coming? This is not an estimate, because the Tunwei is usually mainly based on Tuntian, and it is impossible to gather together at all times, and in a newly received area like this, there must be a standing army stationed, and if others start to rebel and you temporarily gather troops, then I am afraid it will be too late.

In the end, Zhu Cijiong still decided to expand the army reserve corps, recruit 300,000 new troops from the southern provinces, and form three reserve corps in Jiangnan, Guangnan, and Yunnan, and came to the Mughal Empire to garrison.

The headquarters of the Northeast Defense Region is set up in Dhaka, and is garrisoned by the Jiangnan Reserve Corps, which is responsible for the security of the five northeastern provinces, and each province is stationed with 20,000 horses, of which 10,000 are stationed in the capital, and the other 10,000 are scattered to the state capitals.

The headquarters of the Central and Southern Defense Region is set up in Delhi, and is garrisoned by the Quang Nam Reserve Corps, which is responsible for the security of the five central and southern provinces, and each province is stationed with 20,000 horses, of which 10,000 are stationed in the capital, and the other 10,000 are scattered to the state capitals.

The headquarters of the Northwest Defense Region was set up in Kandahar, and was garrisoned by the Yunnan Reserve Corps, which was responsible for the security of the five northwestern provinces, and each province stationed 20,000 horses, of which 10,000 were stationed in the capital, and the other 10,000 were scattered to the state capitals.

As for the leading generals, Zhu Cijiong directly selected three veterans who were nearly 60 years old Zhang Yinghuai, Liu Dashou, and Xie Chaozuo from the major army corps to serve as the chief generals of the three reserve corps, and the rest of the generals at all levels were directly selected from Wu Jinshi.

Zhu Cijiong also took this opportunity to plan a promotion path for the Wujinshi, and in the future, all the Wujinshi must first sharpen their skills in the reserve corps for a few years, and then send them to serve in the regular legions.

In the past, Wuju High School was directly sent to the regular army to command thousands of troops and horses to fight, because at that time, Zhu Cijiong's subordinates did not have so many loyal generals available, and they had to use the old oilmen without Wujinshi, which was extremely unfavorable to the control of the army and the improvement of combat effectiveness.

Now it's different, all the regular corps are loyal and good generals who he has pulled up, and they are completely under his control, and in the future, it is necessary to pay attention to cultivating talents and selecting talents, and only by using Wu Jinshi who have been trained and assessed layer by layer to serve as generals, can we continuously improve the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and it is far from enough to know how to do kung fu and talk on paper.

As for the reception of the territory of the Mughal Empire, this is almost the case, as the emperor, he only needs to set the general framework, as for the specific matters, it is a matter of the military department and the official department.

After arranging the reception of the Mughal Empire, Zhu Cijiong set his sights on Batavia, where the Dutch had been operating for decades, and the surrounding indigenous armed forces had almost been wiped out by them, such as Srivijaya, Manga, Boni, Sulu and other indigenous countries were all beaten by them and could not find anyone.

If it weren't for the fact that their native population is too small and too small, it is estimated that the entire Nanyang Islands, except for Luzon, would be taken into their pockets, but they have no people, and there are people in the Ming Dynasty, and those islands are not collected in vain!

Zhu Cijiong decided to set up a province there, in fact, Batavia was also the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the past, and the Ming Dynasty had set up the Old Port Propaganda Department there to manage the Nanyang Islands, and now it just so happened that Zhu Cijiong directly followed the original name, and set up the Old Port Chengxuan Political Envoy Department in Batavia and the Luzon Chengxuan Political Envoy Division to govern the Nanyang Islands together.

This subordinate ministry is busy again, there are more than 16 provinces at once, and there are more than 1,000 officials needed, and the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty are also blessed.

In the past, it was not so simple to be an official, even if it was a jinshi, after obtaining fame, almost all had to be hung under the Guozijian and even the yamen, and only when there was a vacancy in the actual position could it be filled, and now as long as there is a jinshi meritorious name, it is estimated that you can get an official position above the seventh grade, and even raise people to have the opportunity to serve as a seven-grade official such as the county order!
