290: New capital, new planning
With the occupation of Guangzhou by the Han army, this basically declared that Guangdong had returned to the hands of the Han army, and then, the main force of the Han army occupied the entire territory of Guangdong without blood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, due to the lack of troops, he can only hold Guangdong temporarily, and if he wants to do some other actions, he can't do it for at least a month.
In one, the end of the year is approaching, and the above does not want to start a war at this time.
As for the batch of arms in the arsenal in Guangzhou, the source has also been ascertained.
In fact, you don't need to look it up at all, you only need to look at those weapons to know where these weapons came from.
A large number of British-made rifles, to say that these weapons and equipment are not from the United Kingdom, even children do not believe it.
Of course, there is another question that has not been answered, that is, why did the Guangdong authorities, which had received a large amount of arms, not distribute this batch of arms to the troops?
This question seems to have always been a mystery, and the insider either died or ran away, which made Wang Sirui very painful.
However, regarding the handling of these weapons, Wang Sirui also found a good place for them.
North Korea!
As early as the end of January, Wang Sirui had secretly met with the Korean king Li Xi, who made it clear that he would continue to submit to the Chinese Empire, and that everything that Korea had would be unconditionally open to the Chinese Empire.
But hoping that the Chinese Empire could send troops to help Li Xi restore the country, Wang Sirui agreed to this request without hesitation.
and sent people to the territory of Korea to announce that King Li Xi had been rescued by the suzerain, the Chinese Empire, and that he would reorganize a force in the territory of the Chinese Empire to prepare for a counteroffensive.
As a result, a large number of smugglers appeared on the border between China and North Korea, and their purpose was to be loyal to the king and hope to restore the independence of Korea.
Under such a premise, Wang Sirui ordered 20,000 rifles to be shipped to Shengjing, while more than 20 heavy machine guns were left in Guangdong.
The DPRK will form two divisions in Shengjing, which will be personally led by the Joseon king Li Xi, and the Han army will personally be responsible for training and guiding the operation.
For Wang Sirui's decision, Li Xi was even more grateful to Dade and cried bitterly.
Although the suzerainty has changed its boss, the care of the younger brother North Korea has not retreated, and the new suzerainty is stronger than the Qing Dynasty.
Although the exile lasted only half a year, later Korean historians unanimously agreed that this was an indispensable half a year in the history of North Korea, and that if it were not for this half year of exile, the restoration of Korea would never see the light of day.
In order to show his sincerity, Li Xi ordered the Korean people who came to the territory of the Chinese Empire to try their best to learn Chinese and integrate with the suzerainty as much as possible.
So, in addition to training, those North Korean soldiers also need to learn Chinese.
With the arrival of the New Year, the Joseon King Yi Xi sent a request from his subjects, although there was no gift, just a pair of national letters, but this national letter was undoubtedly the most important for the Chinese Empire.
The Korean government-in-exile recognized the Chinese Empire as their suzerain, which means that the Korean government-in-exile recognized the legitimacy of the Chinese Empire and was the first government in the world to recognize the Chinese Empire.
At the end of February, Wang Sirui signed a letter of consent for the reorganization of the Han army, which was not a large-scale reorganization of the army in the past.
The reason why the Han army is called the Han army is because they are all composed of Han troops, and they are tasked with restoring the Han people's rivers and mountains, and now they have succeeded, and most of the provinces in the country have been recovered.
Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Mongolia did not declare their accession to the territory of the Chinese Empire in a short period of time because of the instigation of the great powers, but they did not have the courage to declare independence, after all, the army of the Chinese Empire is not a decoration, once independence is declared, it will be an endless situation, and no one can withstand the anger of the Chinese Empire.
Therefore, there are only four clauses in the reorganization consent letter this time, the first of which is that the Han Army was officially reorganized into the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire.
Because of the stalk of the Japanese Imperial Army in later generations, Wang Sirui resolutely disagreed with the use of this name at first, but the people below refused to change their words.
It is believed that only the Royal Army can warn everyone at all times that the army is under royal control.
In desperation, Wang Sirui had no choice but to agree to this request, but demanded that everyone must be called by their full name, and not by abbreviations to refer to the army.
The second is the newly implemented military rank system, the Royal Army will judge the rank of the military according to the rank, and the corresponding military rank, there is a corresponding position, which will be more convenient for the management of the army.
The military ranks are divided into five classes and nineteen grades, which are soldier ranks, privates, corporals, sergeants, and sergeants. Lieutenant ranks: warrant officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain. Colonel ranks: Colonel, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel. General rank Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, Admiral, General. As well as marshals of the highest rank.
According to the plan, on the day of enthronement, the first batch of award ceremonies will be held, and it is stipulated that officers above the rank of general must be awarded the title by the emperor himself.
However, considering the current tense international situation, they could not call all the generals back to be honored in unison, so they decided to award the medal in batches.
The first batch of awards was mainly awarded to the Third Army, the Fourth Army, the Second Army, and the First Army.
The third article is to split the military academies, and split the Army Staff College according to their specialties, and set up four academies and colleges: the Army Staff College of the Imperial Chinese National Defense Forces, the Army Command College of the National Defense Forces, the National Defense Artillery Command College, and the National Defense Forces Logistics Command College.
Of course, there is also a secret academy, which was also established at the same time, but it is not announced to the public for the time being, or even listed.
This secret academy is naturally the National Defense Forces Armored Corps Command College, which Wang Sirui has high hopes for.
Article 4 announced a new structure for the Defence Force, which will continue to use the previous system of conscription, and all soldiers will decide whether to serve or not, and the maximum period of service will be 10 years or under 35 years.
This refers to the soldier, if he is not promoted, then a soldier can only serve for ten years at most, if it is less than ten years, and the age reaches the age of thirty-five, then it is also necessary to retire.
There is no limit to the length of service of a lieutenant, but the age is stuck at the age of forty-five, and in the same way, if you are not promoted to the rank of colonel before the age of forty-five, then you also need to retire.
The age limit for school officials is 55 years old, which is basically not a limit, and with the standard of living of modern people, it is considered good to live to the age of 60.
The retirement age of a general is sixty years old, while the age of a marshal is indefinite and lifelong, but after the age of sixty-five, he becomes an honorary marshal and retires without the title.
Regarding the conscription system proposed by Wang Sirui, although the people below felt that it was a bit risky, they finally agreed, after all, the military salary given by the army is not low, and joining the army has been regarded by many people as a shortcut to make a fortune, so there should be no shortage of soldiers in the short term.
This adaptation consent will be announced to the public on the day of his accession to the throne.
As for the choice of the new capital, it should have been announced as early as the announcement of the establishment of the empire, and most of the people's choice was also Beiping.
After all, it has served as the capital for hundreds of years, and all the facilities are perfect, and the emperor can directly move into the Forbidden City, which can save a lot of money and time.
However, Wang Sirui directly rejected this proposal, the reason is very simple, the Ming Dynasty chose the capital as Beiping, not because it is suitable to be the capital, in other words, except for the coastal city, any city is more suitable than Beiping to be the capital.
The Ming Dynasty chose the capital here because of the international situation at that time.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty hoped to tell the people with the attitude of the Son of Heaven guarding the border that if the northern enemy invaded, then the emperor would be the first to block, so that the people could produce with peace of mind.
Because the Manchus came from the north in the Qing Dynasty, it was normal for them to choose here.
But the current situation no longer requires the Son of Heaven to guard the border, and the vicinity of Beiping is full of mountainous areas, which is extremely unsuitable for future development.
The new capital must enjoy a strong history and culture, and the open area is enough to support future development.
So, Wang Sirui set his sights on the Central Plains, the emerging city that he turned into a transportation hub, Zheng County.
The reason why Kaifeng was excluded was because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Henan Province moved from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou, because of the Yellow River, coupled with the historical reasons of Kaifeng, Kaifeng City is sinking every year, and there are several cities buried under Kaifeng City.
Luoyang was excluded because of inaccessibility.
Of course, since it is the capital, it is a bit of a fan to use the name Zheng County. So, Wang Sirui waved his pen and directly renamed Zheng County to Zhongjing.
Tokyo Kaifeng, although Tokyo was shamelessly plagiarized by Little Japan, but ......
Xijing Xi'an, so choosing Zhongjing is somewhat compelling.
However, the capital is the capital, and Zhongjing is defined by Wang Sirui as the political center, and as for the economic center, it is divided into other regions.
He didn't want to become the Beijing of later generations, mixing the political center with the economic center, and as a result, the central government was inefficient.
Once the new capital has been chosen, all that remains is the construction of palaces, office space.
Regarding the planning of the new capital, Wang Sirui has also thought about it a long time ago, well, the emperor, enjoyment is a must. So Wang Sirui directly allocated 10,000 acres of land to himself as a new palace.
Of course, in addition to the palace wall, there are only two palaces in the entire palace, which are the palace where the emperor lives and the palace where he works, and the rest are ordinary houses, and the rest is greenery.
On the periphery of the palace is the office space of the central institution, and on the periphery is the living quarters. It's simple and plain, and the whole layout is simple and clear.
As March 18, that is, the second day of the second lunar month is getting closer and closer, the capital is getting busier and busier, and countless people are preparing for the enthronement ceremony.
PS: The enthronement ceremony is coming, and the biggest climax in the current position is coming, have you waited so long, are you looking forward to it? (To be continued.) )
