The military has strict regulations and a well-defined picket system, and corruption is an easy thing to expose. Moreover, the army is also the focus of the miscellaneous affairs section, and no small action can escape the eyes of the miscellaneous affairs section, so there is almost no corruption in the army. Even if there is, it is just a small advantage to take advantage of it.

In addition, the officers of the Manchurian Army did not need to be corrupt, they were very, very rich people. At present, the officers of the Manchurian Army are mainly divided into three types, namely, the Gu'an lineage, the Manchurian natives, and the Xinding Academy. The first type of Gu'an lineage is the officers at all levels of the former Gu'an Army, who made a lot of war money with the Guoxing Anan expedition to the north, and they have already earned enough money that they can't spend in a few lifetimes. Moreover, after the establishment of Northern Manchuria, Guoxinga took great care of them, and if he had a little surplus money in his hand, he would reward them. Therefore, these officials and high-ranking Gu'an descendants do not need to be corrupt at all, they have endless money, and because they are the original shareholders of Manchukuo, money has no meaning to them.

The second type is the native Manchurian natives, who were originally the targets of Guoxinga's cleanup, and Guoxinga seized their rights as soon as he entered Manchuria. However, with the large-scale expansion of the Manchurian Army, there was a huge shortage of officers, and those who had a certain prestige and management experience returned to their posts as officers after being gilded in the crash course. Some of them are the original military attachés of the Eight Banners, and some are the children of military attachés, but whether they are asking for progress or overcoming their father's gap, they are also rich people. Because Guo Xing'a did not deal with the former Eight Banners military attachés in a revolutionary way, he did not use force against them, but adopted the method of redemption. When the foundation was created and Guoxinga still had to gnaw on the nest, the government took out a large amount of money to redeem the rights and territory of the military attaché of the Eight Banners. Later, the government supported these former military attaches of the Eight Banners to invest in light industry with the money in their hands, and various favorable policies were inclined to them, so that these families made a lot of money. Therefore, almost all of these Manchurian native officers were capitalists, although they were not as good as the gods from Gu'an, they were also rich guys, and they disdained to take risks to be greedy for a little money.

The third type is the new members of the academy, some of them are the children of the first two kinds of people or the old department, even if they are members of the first two groups, they are also rich people from noble backgrounds. The rest were poor, with almost nothing but the salaries and benefits offered to them by the army. They have no illustrious family background, and they do not have any background in the army, they are all poor children who were admitted to the military academy to change their fate, but they are not a high-risk group for corruption. One is that the current life is very different from the poor life of childhood, they are very satisfied, and there is no excessive luxury. Second, they all received the most perfect orthodox education, and they were the first batch of young people with knowledge and ideals in North Manchuria, and they were ready to follow Guoxing'a to turn things around. They have noble souls, and corruption is not something that concerns them.

Although there is no corruption in the army, when the localities are strictly investigated, the Ministry of Supervision, the Miscellaneous Affairs Section, and the Picket Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters have all discovered the problems of the army. They don't seem to have affected the normal construction of the troops, as if they are training according to the regulations, but when the officers spend all day drinking, what kind of mentality will the soldiers have? There was a time when both Guo Xing'a and Pi Runmin felt that North Manchuria, which was congenitally deficient and had been robbed of a lot of resources, also developed light industry, and achieved the same impressive results as the heavy industry invested heavily by the government. But now it seems that there are too many things hidden behind the so-called achievements.

At that time when the light industry was developing rapidly, the garment industry in North Manchurian developed rapidly, and a series of well-known ready-to-wear brands such as "Yuxiang" and "Ningtai" appeared. On the basis of traditional Chinese costumes, combined with the design characteristics of suits and military uniforms, a new North Manchurian costume was designed. And the sales are very amazing, in Changchun, Jilin, Harar, Harbin, Dalian and other places have opened branches, and began to build garment factories. In order to encourage these private light industries, Pi Runmin also placed orders with the two major brands "Yuxiang" and "Ningtai", asking them to design formal wear on the basis of the new Manchurian costume as the official dress of civil officials in the North Manchurian government. But now that I calm down and look at it again, the sales of several clothing brands are basically concentrated in North Manchuria, and there are very few sales to foreign countries and customs areas. And even if they are sold locally, in addition to official clothing, the sales of the private sector are not very huge, and their big customers are corrupt officials and military officers. Several major clothing brands are not civilian clothing, they produce luxury jewelry. The gold thread embroidery that imitates the dragon robe craftsmanship can only be worn by wealthy officials, and only they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it in large quantities, and then compare the luxury of clothing.

The swallow wing banquet that Guoxinga once fought for a meal is now a major road commodity in the major restaurants in North Manchuria, and there are more luxurious and ingenious famous dishes and famous banquets. Moreover, absorbing the etiquette and characteristics of Western banquets, restaurants around the country have built magnificent banquet halls, and Guoxinga has not yet figured out how to integrate into the military electric lights, and has become a gorgeous chandelier on the top of the banquet hall. Although Guoxing'a has not classified electricity and other products as military secrets, the officers openly took advantage of their positions to let the meeting place use the latest technology and electric lights, and they also hated Guoxing's teeth. What's even more hateful is that Guo Xing'a is still stealing Concubine Li's personal kitchen, but the officers have introduced all eight major cuisines to Manchuria from Guannai. Even the navy, which has been in the limelight recently and claims to have the most simple style, has secretly brought back tuna, salmon, lobster, king crab and other seafood. The style of the Navy is simple, but most of them are from the Army, whether they are comrades-in-arms or old commanders, they have to be personal favors.

The delicacies of the mountains and seas, the eight major cuisines, and the fresh gadgets are only a part, and there is no banquet without wine, and the officers have drunk the liquor industry in North Manchuria. The four kings of "King of Hexiang", "King of Mongolia", "King of Baishan" and "King of Longjiang" were drunk on the liquor, and "Liu Ling was drunk" was also made out of rice wine. Originally, the red wine that was not popular in China was also developed in Manchuria because of the west wind brought back by the foreign faction, and the "frost condensation" red wine was not only the best in North Manchuria, but also opened the international market, and even foreigners began to purchase in large quantities. Whisky and vodka, which were not originally available in China, have also developed along with red wine, and Lao Maozi even sent spies to North Manchurian to steal the "Sanjiang" brand vodka, and Dongjiang Province has become the second largest whisky producer in the world outside Scotland. Looking at the densely packed wineries on the map, Guo Xing'a and Pi Runmin didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The tobacco industry is an economic project in Guoxing's circle, and Changbaishan is the only cigarette brand in North Manchuria, but the officers also have their own tricks. The two acres of land in Taiwan were originally the emperor's tribute area, and now it is a special production area for Guoxinga and the high-level government officials, and other places around it are flexibly operated by factories. After 65 procedures to produce the top Changbai Mountain, the tobacco leaves are produced from the surrounding area of two acres of land, and the packaging is even more eager to use gold boxes. The navy has deliberately purchased high-quality Changbai Mountain at a high price, and they want to give gifts abroad.

In addition to eating, wearing, and smoking, you also have to play. In addition to Changchun, where Guoxing'a is stationed, restaurants in major cities in North Manchurian have special dance floors. The traditional entertainment of the Chinese people is indispensable, ten kinds of juggling, North Manchurian is everything, and in order to cater to the appetite of the old men of North Manchuria, all of them have done Western-style reforms. Those who run the rivers and lakes to do tricks have become polite magicians, and those who talk about cross talk don't dare to mention too explicit meat jokes, and those who sing have become singers of the soul. The incident of a civil and military student hooking up with a rich lady has happened in various provinces, but because there are enough officials willing to support it, there has not been a vicious incident, so many students have jumped into the wealthy family.

Peking Opera is the best developed art in North Manchuria, but it is also Peking Opera that almost causes trouble. When they first arrived, the Peking Opera artists did not know the pulse of Northern Manchuria, and they still sang traditional repertoire, but not only did they not make any money, but they were almost beaten to death. Because there are many Three Kingdoms operas in the traditional repertoire, there is often a big white face named Cao Cao in it, and the white face on the stage is certainly not a good person, and then the people who watch the play are uncomfortable. Although Guo Xing'a has not yet reached Cao Cao's height, he has been scolded for being "reckless", but it has been many years. As subordinates of "chaotic ministers and thieves", of course, the officials can't listen to such a drama. Although Northern Manchu still respects the Tongzhi Emperor, it has been made clear that it is not the same thing as the imperial court. Everyone is doing well in North Manchuria, but from the perspective of traditional morality, it is still a bit of a loss, and Guo Xing'a is also rebellious no matter how he says it. These singers scolded the bald donkey in front of the monks, they are tired of it! That is, the artists who run the rivers and lakes have a fast brain, and immediately modified Cao Cao into a great hero who responds to the heavens, and even sang many main theme dramas such as "Guoyun Idle Wine Battle Nanjing" and "Flying General's Bloody Battle of Andingmen", otherwise Peking Opera is likely to be cleared out of North Manchuria.

In addition to these big projects, the officers made a lot of other bits and pieces of gadgets, and the most surprising thing for Goxinga was the camera. Guo Xinga likes to take pictures, so his subordinates also like to take pictures, but cameras imported from the West are very inconvenient. The body is large, not to mention that it is inconvenient to carry, and it takes a lot of effort to take a photo, and no one can stand it for more than a minute to maintain an expression. The people who photographed it, all of them raised their eyebrows, and it really did not conform to the aesthetics of the Chinese. Therefore, with the financial support of the officers, the camera factory has made a huge technological breakthrough, even faster than the progress of the development of weapons at the Goxinga military factory. The latest black-and-white camera in North Manchuria, almost the same as the old box-type camera in Guo Xing's father's unit in his previous life, although it is also very complicated, but the effect and efficiency of taking pictures are much better. Goxinga did not hesitate to list this thing as a military control, and the civilian version that had been developed could be circulated in Northern Manchuria, but it was never allowed to go abroad, and the technology for further miniaturization was taken over by the army. If the scout has a portable camera in the future, the effect of the reconnaissance will definitely be qualitatively improved.

Just looking at the results achieved, these officers are not only without fault but also meritorious, but Guo Xinga will definitely not accept these officers who know how to eat, drink and have fun every day. Their ability to produce a series of results stems from their exuberant purchasing power, which has nothing to do with their status as officers, and they are even ordinary people who will achieve these results. But their status as officers has spread out the bad effects of these achievements, not only the mentality of the soldiers has been affected, but also how can such people who enjoy themselves every day be able to fight tough battles in the future. The most important thing is that they are very contagious, and they will take a lot of people with them to fall.

High-ranking officials such as Tan Shaoguang, Bi Yuntao, and Acton have every opportunity every day, but they also have to contact their subordinates, and other clean and upright officers also have contact with them. They will naturally introduce their own life of spending and drinking into the lives of their superiors and colleagues, so that more people will be corrupted by them, after all, people like pleasure. In the long run, the army of Goxinga will be completely corrupted, the officers will be greedy for pleasure, the soldiers will have no fighting spirit, and even if they have advanced weapons, they will inevitably be defeated like the Qing army.

And more importantly, many people are not used to their style, and these people are their subordinates who came from colleges. Whether they were born in Gu'an or Manchuria, the vast majority of the old-school officers did not receive a well-developed orthodox education, and they either became monks halfway through the battlefield or were one-time quick products of a crash course. In the eyes of new-style officers, these old-timers will inevitably become lazy and ignorant. Moreover, the size of the troops was basically fixed, and the positions of the middle-level officers were almost all occupied by them, and the way of the young people seemed to be blocked.

New-style officers who have ideals and pursuits must be strict with themselves at the same time, they will inevitably be strict with others. Not only do they hold their soldiers to the highest standards, but they also have their eyes on their superiors, and when their commanders are not as wise as they imagined, they naturally feel that these old guys are blocking their way up. The Ministry of Inspectorate and the Miscellaneous Affairs Section are investigating corruption, and eventually the corruption of the military, which is the result of the troubles of these young people, who are desperate to get rid of these high-ranking officers.

The miscellaneous affairs department is not a fool, so he naturally discovered the small actions of the young Zhuang faction, but Guo Xing'a summoned Bi Yuntao, Tan Shaoguang, Actun, Bo Ritu, Ji Ying, Feng Sheng'a, Mu Shun and others, and held a meeting of the staff headquarters, he decided to indulge these cautious young people. Because the old-school officers really can't keep up with the development of the troops.

Although the quick-formed officers in Manchuria have received a certain amount of new knowledge, they still have a large number of bows and arrows in their minds, and they can train according to the training syllabus, but they may not be able to command the troops to participate in actual combat. Although the Gu'an officers who have been trained in the war for a long time are much stronger than the quick officers, they are also seriously outdated, and they do not have bows and arrows in their heads, but they are stuffed with front-loading guns and muskets. Tan Shaoguang and others had discovered in the exercise that Manchurian officers were too tigers to rush forward when they fought too much, while Gu'an officers were not good at deploying troops and always liked to concentrate firepower in a large area.

After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Xing'a still made up his mind, although he was very distressed, he had to make a choice, it was time for the young man to come out.
