Most of these local armed forces were organized by the local gentry of high prestige, and their numbers varied, though most were under 1,000 men.

Moreover, there is very little armor and anything, and the weapons are also messy, and even many people still hold shovels and other agricultural tools in their hands.

This kind of armed combat effectiveness is basically not very reliable, and it can be said to be at the level of a war scum.

Those people in the green forest who defected to the Qin army were actually similar, and they might be more fierce than the local armed forces composed of local villagers.

Speaking of which, both sides are just the difference between the five scum and the six scum.

It is obviously impossible to let these people go to the battlefield to fight the enemy to the death, but it is still possible to use them to defend the city after reorganization and training.

The new military system does not apply to the reorganization of these people at present, because it is impossible to equip them with new firearms. Therefore, for these people, the previous establishment and reorganization of the Qin army are still referenced.

As for their weapons and armor, some of them came from the cold weapons that the Qin army had eliminated before, and the others were weapons captured from the Dashun army.

In addition, the original leaders of the armed forces in these places and the leaders of those green forest people were also distributed and conferred certain military positions.

Of course, these military positions are still temporarily under their previous names.

The reorganization of these forces is, firstly, to free the Qin army's troops from the garrison task, and secondly, to bring these people under the control of the imperial court, so as not to make these people a big deal in the future and cause trouble to the place.

After all, these people are basically local emperors or bandits and bandits who are in trouble, and if they can't be used for themselves, they must be eradicated.

For the reorganization of these people, Jiang Chuan adopted a hodgepodge of sand mixed with the method.

The local armed disorganization and bandits and bandits were organized together to form a garrison army, and the Qin army sent people to serve as commanders and send military police to take charge of military discipline and logistics management.

In this way, because the two sides do not like each other, they will inevitably not be able to unite as one heart to fight against Shangguan, and in order to suppress each other, they have to turn to the chief official sent by the Qin army, so as to form a balanced situation.

Although this will bury a great hidden danger to the combat effectiveness of the entire army, it can only be done at present, and it is an expedient measure.

After the world is completely completed, these local garrisons will inevitably be rectified again, and those who should be cleared and dealt with will definitely not let them continue to jump.

For now, these people can only be stabilized for the time being, and they can be used to defend the place.

For the reorganization of these people, Jiang Chuan only proposed a general framework, and the specific things were all delegated to the hands of Hu Zongxian, Di Qing and Bai Shan.

After all, they know best about the things on the front line, and these places are also recovered in their hands, so it is most appropriate for them to intervene.

All of the above is talking about the reorganization of the army, and the expansion of the naval division is obviously an urgent matter.

The British can send a mercenary army of 10,000 people to the mainland of Zhongzhou at will, and it is obvious that their sea power should not be underestimated.

Although the current naval division of the Qin army seems to be quite large, there are also many problems, and it is okay to deal with ordinary pirates and pirates, but if it encounters a powerful British navy, it may not be very powerful.

The biggest problem is one is the number of warships, and the other is the tonnage of warships.

At present, although the naval division has a number of frigates, heavy warships and heavy mortar warships, the largest number is still the original armed transport ships.

In order to have a force that could compete with the British Navy, it was necessary to greatly increase the number of heavy warships of various types of naval divisions.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan ordered the engineering troops to establish two military ports in Zhoushan and Songjiang in the south of the Yangtze River, and set up shipyards for the construction of large warships.

In Jiang Chuan's vision, the naval division will inevitably be upgraded to a navy in the future.

To upgrade to the navy, it is not as simple as changing the name, but to make a qualitative leap in all aspects such as staffing, tonnage of warships, and equipment level.

Even if a navy is established, it will be divided into three fleets of different magnitudes: the ocean-going fleet, the offshore fleet, and the river fleet, according to different operational needs.

But as we all know, ten years of the army, a hundred years of the navy. This sentence is not called in vain.

Although Jiangchuan has a fortress base as a backer, it is obviously unrealistic to complete the above goals in a short period of time.

Therefore, the current goal can only be set that the naval division can block the British in the naval battle in the coastal waters of Zhongzhou in the future, and it will take a long way to go if it wants to counterattack in the ocean.

Jiang Chuan has always been a man of action, and after this series of orders was conveyed, they were quickly executed.

If you want to say that the strongest execution force in the world, it is definitely the Qin army.

However, with the implementation of these orders, the money in Jiang Chuan's hands is also rapidly decreasing.

Although the fortress base can generate millions of silver every month, it also consumes a lot. Even the more than 10 million taels of silver that were copied from the homes of Liu Lin and others last time were not much left.

This is still on the premise of having a fortress base, if there is no base, the amount of money that needs to be spent is absolutely sea, and it can scare people to death when they say it.

It can be said that in the mess of the imperial court now, the income is basically not much, but the places that ask for money are everywhere.

Moreover, Jiangchuan was also exempted from taxes in many newly restored places.

Looking at the numbers on the books, Jiang Chuan's white hair was about to come out.

Lack of money, lack of money......

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold.

The army is really an absolute big money burner, especially the navy, which is a big family among the big ones, and the money spent on any heavy warship can build an infantry company.

Money, money, where are you going to make money?

Jiang Chuan frowned and paced around the room, thinking about where to get the money.

It is impossible to raise taxes on the people, not to mention that many places are not yet in their own hands, and even the ones that have been restored have not really stabilized.

Moreover, these places have been scraped by the Dashun Army before, and the common people have nothing left at all. If taxes are forcibly raised, not only will the reputation of themselves and the imperial court be greatly damaged, but they will also cause these places to shake up again.

Of course, this kind of thing of killing chickens and eggs cannot be done.

If you can't reach out to the people, you can only reach out to those officials and magnates.

Is it to learn from Li Zicheng to engage in a recovery of stolen goods?

But even if you don't care about your reputation and don't care about being scolded, even if you can get money, it's not a long-term solution, can you do it once, can you do it twice, three times?

After all, the affairs of the imperial court can't rely on him Jiang Chuan and a few people under him, and many things have to rely on those officials to do.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a good way, and Jiang Chuan's brows were about to twist into a pimple.

"Are you worried? I thought there wouldn't be anything in the world that would embarrass you? ”

A light voice came from behind him.

Jiang Chuan didn't need to look at it to know that this was the princess Ruoling who volunteered to come to his side as a maid.
