Chapter 1210 This is the bourgeois revolution
The legendary bourgeois revolution has already happened!
From Tianjin's escape from the control of the Great Song Dynasty, to the establishment of the Youzhou Republican Government, to the current defeat of hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, the seizure of thousands of miles of fertile land in western and eastern Liaoning, and the formal establishment of the republic. At the time, this process seemed to be an incident of warlords rebelling and seizing their powers.
Perhaps it marks the complete failure of Zhao Ji's reuse of the Wuchen line, and some people may feel that the Zhou State established by Wu Haogu is strange inside and out.
Obviously, he can be the emperor of the emperor, but he has made a Laoshzi republic. Moreover, this country is still "a world of warriors and profiteers", not only there is no emperor, but even the traditional Confucian scholars and doctors are gone, and the whole country is fatherless and kingless......
And such a fatherless and kingless country is managed very carefully. Before the country was opened, a bunch of "Constitution", "Civil Law", "Criminal Law", "Official Affairs Law" (which specifically regulates government acts and matters such as the appointment and dismissal of officials), "Citizenship Law", "Parliamentary Law", and so on have been enacted.
These laws were discussed by the elders of Youzhou and the Confucian scholars from all over the country, and then carefully formulated by the legal experts in the Yuntai Bachelors.
And these laws did not come out of thin air, but with fifteen years of republican practice, and also summarized the gains and losses of the Song Dynasty's legal governance for more than 100 years - the first generation of professors of Yuntai Xuegong Law College were all born in Kaifeng, and they were probably the people who knew the most about the legal system of the Song Dynasty.
So the laws of these republics are not only strict and detailed, but also relatively easy to enforce.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to careful management, not to mention the advantages, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to follow the path of a small country and a widow. With the governance methods of the Zhou State, it may be possible to manage a medium-sized country with thousands of miles of land and millions of households.
However, if it is to be extended to the whole world, the cost of management is too high, and there are too many powers given to the localities, which can easily cause the local government to be divided and the central government is not in control.
Therefore, such as Wu Haowen, Yang Shi, Hou Zhongliang and others, they all regarded the meticulous and meticulous management of the Zhou State as the embodiment of no great ambition.
Maybe Wu Haogu wanted to build a small country on the side of peace, and he didn't want to take over the Great Song Dynasty at all.
The autumn breeze is bleak, and people are on the journey.
Wu Haogu rode a Tianjin horse and walked west to Yandi. In front of and behind him, in addition to hundreds of four-wheeled carriages and scholars, senators, and retinues on horseback, were the cavalry of the brigade.
His trip to Liaodong has finally come to an end, and he is now on his way back to Yandi.
There were tens of thousands of people with him, in addition to Wu Haogu's family, there were also the elders who gathered in Liaoyang Mansion on their own, as well as the Southern Dynasty Confucianism who followed Wu Haogu back to Yandi, and of course Wu Haowen, who did not become a prince, as well as the officers and soldiers of the newly established First Division of the Republic Cavalry, and a team of yellow-headed Jurchen mercenaries.
The name of the First Cavalry Division of the Zhou State sounds very modern, in fact, in the "Zhou Li", there are names for the establishment of armies, divisions, brigades and other armies.
Therefore, when the Youzhou Republican Army was reorganized into the Zhou Republican Army this time, Wu Haogu simply introduced the establishment units of armies, divisions, and brigades. However, he did not set up a regiment below the brigade, it was directly a battalion, and below the battalion was a team, and below the team was a platoon, and below the platoon was what.
The army is not a permanent unit, but the name of a command organ on a front-line battlefield.
In addition, the establishment of cavalry and infantry is also different, the cavalry does not have a brigade-level establishment, below the division is the battalion, and under the cavalry division is six battalions. Five of them are combat battalions and one is a command battalion.
The establishment of the command battalion is 1,000 people (half of the regular and half of the auxiliary), including the escort team, the baggage team, the scout team, the herald team, the command team, the artillery team and other departments.
The combat battalion has a large establishment, up to more than 1,800 people! Below were also five squads, four cavalry squads, and one command squad.
The cavalry corps had an establishment of 400 men, and it was also half a regular and half a auxiliary. The command team consisted of only 200 men, and half of them were auxiliaries.
Under the cavalry team were four platoons, each of which was fifty iron cavalry and fifty auxiliary cavalry, which just formed a wall-mounted assault unit.
The size of the battalions, teams, and platoons of the cavalry unit is not only related to the optimal size of the wall assault formation, but also to the number of auxiliaries. Because the cavalry that made up the cavalry division (there were three in total) were all armored cavalry, they had to be assigned auxiliary troops in a one-to-one ratio before they could fight.
Therefore, a platoon of fifty cavalry must be matched with fifty auxiliary cavalry, and the size of the army will be larger.
It is precisely for this reason that after research, the General Military Machinery Department and the Barracks took out the brigades under the cavalry division and turned them into six battalions under the jurisdiction of one division, with a total of 10,000 people.
Of course, this method of organizing one division and six battalions is also suited to the needs of the battlefield at present.
Because the armored cavalry is simple to fight, that is, to attack in formation, one division headquarters is enough to command five combat battalions. And they either fought big battles in divisions, or they were split into battalions and attached to infantry divisions. In most cases, a cavalry division will transfer out a cavalry battalion, and if a cavalry brigade is set up, there will be an embarrassing situation in which one brigade has jurisdiction over one battalion or even no subordinate combat units, so there is no brigade at all.
Compared with the cavalry, the infantry has been changed to baggage soldiers because of the cancellation of auxiliary troops and all of them have been changed to baggage soldiers (they belong to regular soldiers in terms of establishment and can also undertake combat missions), so the troop establishment is smaller.
Basically, there are one division and two brigades, one brigade and four battalions, one battalion and four teams, plus baggage, engineers, artillery, and cavalry.
A standard infantry corps consists of four infantry platoons of 40 men, and a battalion has four infantry platoons and one command team, both of which are 160 men, of which the command team includes a command platoon and three baggage platoons. The total strength of a battalion was 800 men.
In addition to 4 infantry battalions, an infantry brigade usually has a baggage battalion, a command team, a cavalry platoon, and an engineer team, almost 4,400 people.
At the division level, in addition to two infantry brigades, there will also be one battalion of baggage, one battalion of engineers, one artillery and one cavalry battalion, and one command team (200 people), a total of 13,200 people.
According to the plan, after the reorganization, the Republican Army will have 18 divisions, including 16 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry divisions, and the field strength will reach more than 231,200 people when all are fully established.
It's more powerful than ever!
In addition to the 18th division of field troops, the Zhou army will also have a navy of more than 20,000 people, as well as the military department, the military aircraft department, the military academy director department and other organs, and there will be 20 state defense envoys. The total number of people is as high as 270,000!
Moreover, this does not include Ma Zhi's "Soldiers along the Border" and Guo Yaoshi's "Ever-Victorious Army", as well as the yellow-headed mercenaries composed of the Jurchens of the Hosu Pavilion.
With such a large army, of course, it is impossible to be full at any time. Therefore, the army of the Zhou State adopted the method of combining the standing officer corps with the government soldiers and knights.
The shelves of 18 divisions are maintained at all times, but the divisions on strategic duty are only 4 and a half (half a cavalry division) in total.
If Zhou's military mobilization system can play a normal role in the future, it will be almost close to the military mobilization capacity of modern capitalist military powers!
With such a military mobilization capability, I think that after 90 years, really. When Genghis Khan rises in the grassland, he will also hit his head and break the blood in front of the Zhou army, right?
A country that can establish and maintain a military mobilization system of modern standards cannot of course be a feudal or feudal bureaucratic state, but can only be a capitalist country that has passed the threshold of capitalism!
Wu Haogu, who was on his way to the west, knew that what he had just completed was a bourgeois revolution!
Although there were still many remnants of feudalism maintained by the Zhou state, his civic system was somewhat similar to the aristocracy.
But there is no doubt that the economic basis of the Zhou state was capitalist industry and commerce and semi-capitalist and semi-feudal agriculture.
And the leading position in this country is undoubtedly the bourgeoisie of Tianjin.
Wu Haogu himself was the leader of the bourgeoisie in Tianjin, and the capital of the country was also located in Tianjin, the base camp of the bourgeoisie.
There is no doubt that the Constitution, which is the fundamental law of the state, also protects the interests of the bourgeoisie.
Even the "six-level citizenship system," which had a strong feudal connotation, was quite beneficial to the bourgeoisie.
Businessmen could maintain their rank by paying taxes and donating money, and bourgeois intellectuals could become citizens and gain public office by studying. And the navy, which was integrated with the bourgeoisie, also obtained citizenship, like the army.
Therefore, among the hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Zhou state, the number of the bourgeoisie was also very large. Even the soldiers and knights who were attached to the land managed the land in a way that was more akin to the capitalist farms – they ran the land for the sake of making money, not for the sake of a self-sufficient small peasant home.
In addition, a capitalist financial system is also in the process of gradual improvement.
After Wu Haogu returned to Tianjin, he convened the Senate and political consultative conferences from all walks of life, and announced the establishment of the Zhou State. After the election of the new Senate of Zhou, the Banking Law will be the first law to be passed.
The Bank of Tianjin will be split into the Republic Bank, which will become a central bank with minting rights, and the Bank of Tianjin, which will become a pure commercial bank.
Gold, silver, and copper coins will replace copper coins and silk silks and become the legal currency of the Zhou State.
With the Republic Bank at its core, a financial system capable of turning "dead money" into "living money" will also be fully formed.
Moreover, since most of the land of the Zhou State belonged to the soldiers and knights' granges that could not be bought and sold, it was impossible for commercial capital to maintain its value by hoarding land, and they could only continue to invest in rapidly growing industrial and commercial activities.
Compared with the size of the Zhou State, the markets or colonies of the Great Song Dynasty, Japan, Goryeo, Daliao, Dajin, Annam, and Nanyang were already large enough. Enough for the Zhou state to completely cross the threshold of capitalism economically, and even reach the level on the eve of the first industrial revolution......
