Chapter 566: The Army (2) The Four Military Regions
Therefore, Daming spared no effort to commend them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but compared with the soldiers who have numbers and are included in the legitimate establishment of the People's Army, the Ming Dynasty's commendation of the dead soldiers is obviously smaller.
In the end, it is a mercenary, and there is naturally a big difference in treatment.
And the top management of the Ming Dynasty is not stupid, knowing a certain degree of difference will have an incentive effect. Like the regular troops of the People's Army, after seeing the commendation of the dead soldiers, they must have had a contest in their hearts.
The combat capability of the armed forces has also been virtually maintained at a relatively high level.
Therefore, this difference has been tacitly approved and promoted by the top level of the Ming Dynasty.
It is foreseeable that this situation will be difficult to change for a long time.
However, with the military reform, this gap may be narrowed to a certain extent in some aspects.
Of course, in some ways, there is also a certain degree of expansion.
Speaking of which, this military reform is also the first large-scale military reform carried out by the Ming Dynasty in the whole country after the withdrawal of Nanyang and the establishment of the province.
In addition, unlike previous changes to numbers, establishments, and ranks, the focus of this reform is on the stationing and administrative management system of each army.
For example, the military region system was first proposed.
According to the proposal of the General Staff Department of the Ministry of National Defense, the vast territory of Daming will be divided into four major military regions. They are the Xiazhou Military Region including the mainland, the Nanyang Military Region including the major islands in the South Seas, the Ocean Military Region with the Pearl Islands as the mainstay, and the North American Military Region with the North American Overseas Territory as a whole.
Among them, in addition to Daming itself, the Xiazhou Military Region also includes Anbei Province, Annan Province, and Anxi Province. It is also the time when these places established provinces earlier, and they are relatively close to the Ming Dynasty. In terms of management, it is also relatively convenient.
In addition to the major islands in the South Ocean and the Malay Peninsula, the Nanyang Military Region also includes Ceylon and other provinces located in the Indian Ocean. Geographically, it is not limited to the South Seas. If you don't take into account the islands, the transport links are not as convenient as on land. Daming definitely put Anbei Province and Anxi Province under the management of the Nanyang Military Region.
The Ocean Military Region covers the entire Pacific Ocean. According to the provinces, it is the Pearl Province and the Andong Province. Compared with Nanyang, the internal ties of the Dayang Military Region are more scattered. And in the region, there is not a single large island comparable to the Nanyang Military Region. Even small islands like Bali are few and far between.
Therefore, in terms of management difficulty, it is still relatively large.
Fortunately, at present, the world's major countries do not have the time or energy to set foot in the Pacific Ocean. Whether it is the United States, which was founded less than half a century ago, or Mexico, which has a vast colony on the American continent, they cannot shake the cheese of the Ming Dynasty due to internal affairs.
This makes the importance of the Ocean Military Region far less important than that of the other three military regions.
As for the North American Military Region, the main area of jurisdiction is the North American Overseas Territory.
It's just that in addition to the land that the Ming bought from the British, it also includes Alaska. Originally, there were still a small number of Russians there, but now, these people were either driven into the sea by the Ming Dynasty or were doing hard labor in the Ming labor camp.
Some of the Ming people also crossed the Bering Strait and migrated to the Chukotka Peninsula and Kamchatka Peninsula.
These people are all heinous murderers who don't blink an eye!
In order to squeeze out their value as much as possible, the Ming deliberately sent them to the Russian Far East. And like exile, only a small amount of supplies is given. If you don't fight with the Russians, you have only a dead end.
But the supply of weapons is much more extensive.
Anyway, there are not many Russians in these places. In terms of troops, they are pitifully small.
Even the indigenous tribes that have lived here for generations are not large.
The Russian administration of them was only for them to pay tribute and show submission. This is like the ancient Central Plains Dynasty, the rule of remote tribes.
So in terms of control, it's not really strong.
It's just that unlike the good face of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Russians have always been very vicious to these indigenous tribes. No matter what is delicious and useful, it will be taken away by the Russians first. If they resisted, the Russians would use sharp muskets to show them how to write dead words.
It is for this reason that these indigenous tribes, who are extremely fierce in their bones, have submitted to Russian coercion.
Now the Ming Dynasty has sent those trained thugs over to deal with these Russians like the Emperor. As long as they are driven away, these indigenous forces have nothing to worry about.
After all, in terms of the performance of firearms, the Ming Dynasty, which entered the industrial revolution in an all-round way, was Russia that far surpassed serfdom.
This implicit expansion policy was proposed and implemented by the leaders of the North American Overseas Consulates. Because like the Nanyang Overseas Consulate, the North American Overseas Consulate also has a lot of autonomy. The three important powers of military, administrative, and judicial affairs are all vested in the chief.
Therefore, the leader can make his own decisions about what to decide.
However, the necessary briefing is also essential.
When learning of this plan, the high-level leaders of the Ming Dynasty did not object. And in terms of materials, give North American overseas consulates a certain tilt.
On the bright side, it is a kind of commendation and affirmation.
Anyway, these murderers who helped the expansion of the Ming Dynasty are not a pity to die. Instead of letting them die worthless, it is better to use their limited lives to create more benefits for Daming.
And in order to increase their motivation, Daming also promised. Depending on the amount of merit, they will be rewarded to a certain extent. Even those family members who are implicated can be forgiven and live a better life through their efforts.
In addition, the leaders of the North American overseas territories also set aside some people to actively implement the encroachment policy on the state of Louisiana, which belongs to France.
It's also Louisiana's climatic conditions, which are better than most of the North American Overseas Territories. And the United States is also continuing to move its own people to Louisiana.
The leader of the North American Overseas Consulate is not a gentleman. Naturally, I won't look at the cheap and not take advantage of it.
This practice, to a certain extent, was also tacitly approved by the French colonial governor.
Because Louisiana and the continental United States are too close to each other. The border between the two sides is too long. Coupled with the fact that there is no poor mountain and bad water to stop it, and the weakening of the national strength caused by the revolution and the flu in France, it is impossible to stop the encroachment of the United States at this stage.
Therefore, the introduction of the Ming Dynasty, an external force, can hedge against the encroachment of the United States to the greatest extent.
In addition, because of the flu, the new revolutionary government in France has been abandoned by the angry people. Napoleon, who was secretly supported by the Great Bright, controlled the military and political power in France with the help of the White Lotus, which had a broad public base.
According to the secret agreement between the ambassador to France and Napoleon, Louisiana should be sold to the Ming Dynasty at a suitable price after he took power.
In the current situation of encroachment by the United States, Louisiana can't keep it even if it wants to.
It's better to sell it to Daming and increase some revenue for the treasury.
It's just that now Daming doesn't have the energy to fight with the United States, so this deal has never been put on the agenda.
However, under Napoleon's instructions, the local colonial governors had provided some assistance to the Ming in Louisiana.
