And there is a problem here, that is, because China is so large, the cost of rule per capita is much higher than that of other countries, and the number of regular armies that the same population can support is therefore much lower, but the total number of troops is larger. www.biquge.info On this basis, after the disappearance of the systematic militia system, the problem of selecting military personnel too small will become even more serious. If Li Hui had not established the militia system, it would have been fine in the event of a foreign war, and the number of regular Chinese troops plus the basic reserves would have been enough to train civilians who were completely amateurs into qualified soldiers, but if it was a large-scale civil strife, in a chaotic situation. The forces of all sides simply don't have so much time to train slowly, so I don't know how many people will die in vain, and because they can fight those who have been soldiers before, it is inevitable that a large amount of consumption will be consumed in the cruel civil war, resulting in a significant weakening of the military strength of the entire country.

Another point is that because the regular army is in the system, it is greatly affected by the corruption of the government, and if it is rotten to the point of changing the dynasty, it is possible for the regular army to be weak in any way, while the quality of the militia is relatively stable, and when the court and government are rotten, their combat effectiveness is often stronger than that of the regular army, and they can become the backbone of saving China. For example, when the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty started out, they were all militia nature, Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty was also born in the militia, and even the official army in the late Qing Dynasty was so rotten that it was vulnerable to attack and relied on regimental training to survive for several more decades, in fact, this is also the truth.

After the implementation of the militia system, Li Hui was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to adding an insurance policy for the long-term future, and establishing a martial arts and folk style. In addition to the conceivable role of cultivating a sense of discipline, the militia system had a miraculous effect in dealing with the guerrillas of the new homeland, which was unmatched by the regular army.

As for some "asymmetric strikes" adopted by domestic and foreign enemies in desperation, such as assassinating grassroots cadres, kidnapping and killing civilians to create panic, and so on, the militia has built an insurmountable great wall of steel.

According to incomplete statistics, in those advanced areas where the militia system has been fully built, even if the casualties are included in the attacks on China's grassroots cadres and masses, the exchange ratio is more than 5:1, that is, on average, more than 5 criminals die before one Chinese civilian is killed.

More importantly, with the militia in charge, and even many civilians themselves have received a certain amount of military training, even if they encounter an attack, they will not panic, the enemy's purpose will not succeed at all, the militia system is not so much for the sake of strengthening the army, but for the sake of strengthening the people, and the Chinese people with the excellent qualities of bravery, tenacity, unity, diligence and thrift are invincible!

As for those enemies at home and abroad, a frontal war cannot defeat the Chinese National Defense Force, and those ghost tricks have no effect, so naturally they can only surrender or die......

In addition, the Momen has strengthened its control over the grassroots through militia organizations, which has been of great help in the implementation of various policies. You must know that the Chinese revolution led by Li Hui was not ordinary: "The people first have the needs of the revolution, and then the revolution is launched." "Such a move to follow the trend, but to rely on a strong external force to overthrow the old government when the conditions are far from being met, and then use the state apparatus in its hands to carry out reforms from the top down, is tantamount to forcibly transforming China, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed without a sufficiently strong, loyal, reliable, and ubiquitous organ of violence......

From another point of view, the general revolution will always represent the interests of a certain class or strata, and the stratum represented by Li Hui's Yiwei Revolution did not exist at all at that time (individual figures already existed, but the number was too small to form a stratum). You have to wait until after the victory of the revolution to cultivate yourself, and thanks to the help of the system, otherwise this wrong path will not work anyway.

But then again, it was precisely because of the help of the system that Li Hui dared to take such a radical revolutionary line, otherwise he would have reformed the line nine times out of ten, which was the most realistic line of modernization in China before the First Sino-Japanese War, but it took much longer and the price to pay for Chinese the people was much greater......

Therefore, don't look at the Chinese Republic now, it seems like cooking oil on fire, but in fact, the foundation of the political power is very weak. Although there are many Mo disciples now (at the end of 1895, it exceeded the million mark, and half a year later the number increased by 6 or 700,000, and the total number is no less than 5 million if you add the Mo people). But most of them are just honest and obedient, and they do what they are told to do, and there are very few people who really have that awareness. Perhaps it will not be until many years later, when the Chinese workers and the new intellectuals have grown sufficiently, that Li Hui can completely relax his mind.

Prior to this, Li Hui had been walking on thin ice, brutally attacking hostile forces, and striving to eradicate the roots, while also trying to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the government, because Li Hui knew that the Chinese people favored a clean government, as long as the cadres could share weal and woe with them, even if life was sad, they could grit their teeth and persevere, and what Li Hui needed was precisely the domestic chaos, so that his social transformation could be effective little by little.

The leader is honest and frugal, and the cadres below may not be honest and honest, but if the leaders are extravagant and wasteful, then it will definitely be "the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked". Therefore, since the beginning of the uprising, Li Hui has been quite restrained in his personal life, as the dignity of a country, the standard of living is slightly higher than the average of urban residents in the country, and he has never used any luxuries, and has always been strict against waste.

Li Hui has never paid much attention to material enjoyment, and it is not very difficult to do this, but he feels that Liu Lanxin, as the eldest lady of the official family, has lived a prosperous life since she was a child, so she may not be able to endure such a life, and it is difficult to accept the way that there is no grand wedding and just inviting Liu Buyun and his wife and Yan Fu, the matchmaker, to come over for a meal. Li Hui said before that he would observe each other for six months, in fact, to a certain extent, he was worried that if he decided to get married first, it would be difficult to deal with it after falling out because of these problems, so it was better to put these possible differences out before that, and live together if he could bear it, if he couldn't, Li Hui would continue to be a happy bachelor.

But Liu Lanxin's performance was beyond Li Hui's expectations, and later in the face of Li Hui's question, she explained with a smile, "Although my uncle treats me as if I was his own, I can't be too ignorant, right?" The days of studying in the UK are even more difficult, different diets, different customs, it is not so easy to adapt, do you really think I haven't suffered? Besides, it's not like there's no enjoyment here, is it? (To be continued.) )
