394 The Thriving Burma Town (Part II)
Yuan Huang saw the shortcomings of the current system of the Ming Dynasty very thoroughly, so he suggested that Xiao Ruxun establish a military academy more than once, but Xiao Ruxun looked at the number of people and troops under his hands, smiled, and looked at Yuan Huang, Yuan Huang looked at the population statistics policy of Myanmar, and couldn't help but laugh.
With a million people, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the development is difficult, what kind of military school is there to run? Hold your time!
But it's not that it's bad, on the contrary, it's a very necessary measure, and it's been included in Xiao Ruxun's plan, but the most important mainstream in Myanmar at the moment is still construction, not the Great Leap Forward.
Thirty thousand troops and the existing officers are almost enough for now, and we will talk about it when more troops are really needed.
As for the training of the army and the improvement and maintenance of combat effectiveness, it is also very important, no matter how elite the troops are, it is difficult to maintain combat effectiveness if they do not fight, but Xiao Ruxun has a way.
He spent a lot of time expanding the sailor, and then in the name of the Daming sailor, he undertook the task requests of many small merchants in Southeast Asia, dispatched the sailor to crusade against pirates, or escorted those merchant ships, from the beginning of the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, until now, the escort mission has been carried out for almost two years.
Within two years, the Ming army had no less than 100 encounters with pirates on the seas of Southeast Asia, and the cumulative number of troops dispatched exceeded 30,000 times.
After the three major sea bandit suppression campaigns were fought, the three fierce and famous pirate fleets in the South China Sea were wiped out by the Ming army's naval divisions, and the regiment was wiped out under the overwhelming artillery fire of the Ming army.
Up to now, pirates still exist, but there are no large-scale pirate groups in formation, and basically pirates will retreat when they see a ship with the word "Ming" or "Xiao" on board, and dare not approach.
The prestige of the Ming Dynasty continues to be maintained in Nanyang, and its influence is increasing day by day.
However, in terms of land warfare, Xiao Ruxun has no good training objects, and can only use training to fill the lack of actual combat, mainly because the previous World War was too ferocious, so that the Ming army could not find an opponent who dared to resist in this land, and all surrendered, and they did not dare to resist at all.
Yuan Huang single-handedly grasped all the government affairs of the whole of Myanmar, and served as the director of the government office of Zhennan Hou Mansion set up by Xiao Ruxun, including the government affairs of the eight cities under the jurisdiction of the government office, and controlling the overall situation.
In order to better develop Myanmar, Xiao Ruxun set up a government office two years ago, including the eight cities where Han people have settled, and let Yuan Huang be responsible for unified management, because there is no appointment from the imperial court, there is no formal division of states and counties, and more importantly, there is no need to set up states and counties, and the Han people settlement is only in the areas around the eight cities, and the rest of the vast areas are still no man's land, and there is no political power at all.
Therefore, the eight cities are simply taken as the basic administrative units, each city has a mayor and two deputy mayors, one should be configured like the county government of the Ming Dynasty, but the name is different, it is regarded as avoiding a minefield, and it will not be realized, Yuan Huang is in charge of the eight mayors, and the administrative orders are all ordered by Yuan Huang, and the eight mayors are responsible for the implementation, and Yuan Huang was also assigned the power to directly command the police force, which is regarded as handing over the command of 5,000 police officers and Chen Xie to Yuan Huang.
I'm in charge of the army?
This was Yuan Huang's original idea.
Then he resigned - I am not in charge of the military, I am a civilian official.
Xiao Ruxun explained-your old man is the person I trust the most, and I am also very relieved to hand over the police force to you to manage and command, and the most important thing is that the police force does not belong to the army, which is equivalent to government service, but it is more standardized and unified, and the combat effectiveness is not far from the regular army, if it is in an emergency, it is also good to use it as an army.
The key is that the police are responsible for maintaining law and order in the city, in the embryonic period of the current urban development, it is the time when the police are needed to maintain law and order, the police are not responsible for fighting, strictly speaking, they do not belong to the army, so it is not considered to be a mastery of military power.
Yuan Huang was grateful and took over the command of the police.
The eight mayors and sixteen deputy mayors are naturalized officials from various small countries, with practical experience, and have passed Xiao Ruxun's assessment to take up the position, and they attach great importance to the position of the mayor who is actually the county magistrate, and think that this is the first step to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Many officials who came to Myanmar Town from small countries in Southeast Asia are viewed in this way, they have no fame, if they are not in Myanmar Town, they cannot become official officials in any place in Daming, and now although their ostensible identity is the official under the jurisdiction of Zhennan Houfu, but the actual power is the same as the official official, that is, the official.
If you hug the thighs of Zhennanhou Mansion, there will definitely be good development in the future - this is their common wish.
As the master of more than a million people and 35,000 troops, Xiao Ruxun's daily tasks are also relatively busy, except for some necessary development plans discussed with Yuan Huang, he mainly takes the guards around, around and inside the eight cities, supervises the training of the army, observes the law enforcement of the police force, inspects the administration of the mayor and deputy mayor, and has an in-depth understanding of the living conditions of the people at the bottom.
Xiao Ruxun was still very happy to learn that the people were very satisfied with their lives in Myanmar Town and lived the life they dreamed of not going hungry.
The people really ask for very little, the most basic, as long as there is land to eat, they will work honestly, very industrious, under the control of the Burmese natives can not produce much food, under their hands, they can produce several times or even more than ten times the grain, so much that they can't believe it, corn and rice are piled up in every farmer's house, and they are about to be overwhelmed.
To this end, Xiao Ruxun also suggested that these farmers raise some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and other poultry in normal times, and introduced a batch of poultry from the interior of the Ming Dynasty to distribute to the farmers for breeding, so that they can use the surplus grain to breed these poultry, so as to enrich their tables and enrich Myanmar's products.
Under the full care of Xiao Ruxun, Myanmar's agriculture has developed rapidly, and under the condition of only a few hundred thousand working people, this grain output has almost reached the level of some provinces with small populations in the Ming Dynasty, which can fully meet the needs of all the population, and the extra part can also be used to raise livestock, which is a dream scene that can not be dreamed of in the hometown.
The people who live here have no doubt that the Burmese town will lead the way to a more prosperous and powerful country under the leadership of this marquis.
