Chapter 070: Huge Military Spending (Rushing to the Rankings for Votes)
Zhu Youxiao's changed method of counting military exploits can avoid the problem of the Dongjiang Army's tail not being lost after the war. At the same time, the transfer of 10,000 Beijing battalions to Dongjiang Town also means to let Mao Wenlong help train the troops.
Jingying fought wild boar skins in Jiangdong Town for a period of time, and if there was a problem with this kind of preparation, it would be exposed, so that it could be improved. In addition, to accumulate experience for the entire Beijing battalion, the officers of the Beijing battalion who have been on the battlefield can definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion.
At the same time, the 10,000 Beijing battalion was directly transferred to Dongjiang Town to be commanded by Mao Wenlong, which could quickly let Mao Wenlong have a fighting soldier in his hands.
Mao Wenlong can fight, dare to fight, now what Daming lacks is an active military attache like him, in addition, now Sun Chengzong is building the Guangning defense line, if you can't contain the forces of the wild boar skin, next year after the wild boar skin digests Liaoyang and Shenyang, it will inevitably go to Liaoxi to plunder.
At this time, the wild boar skin was a robbery gang, and almost all of them lived by robbery, so the attack of the wild boar skin was inevitable. If the Dongjiang Army can be built quickly, then the Quang Ninh defense line will be more secure.
When the time comes, the wild boar skin will not be able to grab any supplies, and the production will be destroyed by the guerrillas, and the wild boar skin will not be a cause for concern at all. At this time, the wild boar skin is actually very unpopular.
A gang of bandits who do not know how to produce and do not know how to manage Hermes-Epitek to produce will quickly fall out as long as it is consumed.
Even if the wild boar skin realizes the importance of production and starts to stop killing Hermes-Epitek, it will no help. At that time, the Han people in Liaodong died and ran, and if the wild boar skin wanted to gain enough population, it could only enter the customs and plunder. Entering the pass and plundering is definitely looking for death, after all, Zhu Youxiao has trained a new army, even if the tactics may not be mature, but the spear formation is absolutely invincible in the face of wild boar skin in non-mobile combat.
Although the wild boar skin is a cavalry, it is not fast at all, but it is not able to go fast at all. As long as the Ming army snatched the population and materials plundered by the wild boar skins, it was a strategic victory if the wild boar skins were not taken away.
What's more, it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to let the wild boar skin flow to fight in the pass, after all, the Guangning defense line is still there, Mao Wenlong opened the Dongjiang River at this time, and the wild boar skin dared to mobilize the main force to enter the pass, and the Ming army could directly copy the wild boar skin's nest and wipe out the wild boar skin's people.
As long as this war is fought according to this step, the wild boar skin will definitely be defeated.
But to follow this step, nothing else is a problem, there is only one problem, and that is silver. Fortunately, a large amount of funds were confiscated from Li Sancai, and after some statistics, after Li Sancai's assets were all realized, he could get 5.6 million taels of silver.
All the money in the inner treasury had been deposited in the Royal Bank by this time.
In the bank account, there are already nearly 7 million taels of silver, most of which are the income from the seizure of the family, as well as the income from the tax bureau and the salt shop.
As for other royal assets, they will have to wait until the end of the year to settle them, and they will need funds for development. Among them, the Jimin Grain Bank and the Royal Agricultural Company need a relatively large amount of funds, although the grain business of the grain bank is profitable, but the grain turnover takes time, and the principal required is relatively large.
The Royal Agricultural Company also needed a large amount of money to organize the displaced people to reclaim the land.
But in any case, 7 million is already a huge amount of money, at least this year's military spending is almost enough. It's just that what makes Zhu Youxiao's heart ache is that the money can't be invested.
"If this silver can be invested, then more silver can be made." Zhu Youxiao sighed, but he didn't press the wild boar skin to death, and he was not happy.
If you don't invest ruthlessly now, you will have to invest even more in the future to exterminate the wild boar skin.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao had 7 million taels of silver in his hands, and 3 million taels of silver were collected from the northern Xia Tianfu, and the military expenses that could be used in his hands reached tens of millions of taels.
"Jiubian is 2 million taels of silver every year as usual. In Liaodong, when Sun Chengzong took office, the emperor had already given him 2 million taels, Sun Chengzong was training soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and according to his plan, there was a gap of 3 million taels this year. This ......" Sun Chuanting was a little hesitant, the salary of the Liaodong army was really a little scary.
"Giv, give as much as you want." Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and said.
"Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, has already trained a 5,000-strong Denglai naval division, and currently has 1,000 ships and fifteen ships, and the rest of the small and medium-sized warships are more than 100. The emperor had already given one million taels of silver, but at present, Yuan Keli has only spent less than 500,000, and it is estimated that there is no need to pay military salaries this year. Sun Chuanting straightened out, "The rest is the newly established Dongjiang Town, if according to the emperor's plan, 10,000 regular troops, 10,000 guerrilla troops, plus 10,000 Beijing battalions, food and equipment will be about 1.3 million taels this year." ”
"Here, let's make up 1.5 million!" Zhu Youxiao decided.
"Is the 6.5 million taels from the internal or from the household?" Sun Chuanting asked, and Zhu Youxiao said: "The household department will pay 3 million taels, and the internal government will pay 3.5 million." ”
After some discussion, Zhu You's school money was left with 2 million taels, and the direct troops of Jingying and Tengxiang would have to spend about 2.5 million taels this year.
Despite the hemorrhage in the internal government, the financial crisis of the imperial court for several years was resolved. In terms of military spending, the imperial court only spent about 3 million taels.
The military expenditure of the internal treasury is as high as 6 million taels.
Unconsciously, the military expenditure in the first year of the Apocalypse was as high as 9 million taels of silver, and this is only a daily expenditure.
To say that military spending is so high for Mao?
First of all, the 2 million taels of military salaries on the nine sides are themselves unjustly spent. Originally, the nine-sided military households had land and could be self-sufficient. However, the land was annexed by the military attaché in large quantities, so that this state of affairs was broken, and the central government of the Ming court had to pay for the land annexation every year.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao has to control a 'central army', 50,000 Beijing battalions, and 6,000 cavalry, and this year's expenditure is as high as 2.5 million taels of silver. Although a lot of money is accounted for in equipment, it is mainly due to the relatively high salary, which drives up expenses.
Liaodong and Dongjiang should not be stingy with money.
During the Wanli period, military spending was high, so although the Ming army was defeated in the Sarhu War, at least the money and food could be guaranteed, and the soldiers would not be cold.
During the Apocalypse period in history, despite financial constraints, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also worked hard to ensure the supply of money and food, and the phenomenon of the Ming army's defection was not so strict. In the Chongzhen period, it was basically difficult to ensure that the money and food could be sent to the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Ming army were cold, and the situation in Liaodong was completely out of control.
Liaodong's military expenditure must not be stingy, the soldiers can't eat enough, and if they have to freeze in winter, how can they still have the heart to fight?
However, despite the high military spending, most of the silver still circulated in the system built by Zhu Youxiao. Military rations will be supplied by the Jimin Grain Bank, and the equipment of the Ming armies in Liaodong, Dongjiang, and Beijing will be manufactured by the Royal Military Factory.
Because he wanted to support the Dongjiang Army, and at the same time planned to grasp all the expenses of the Ming army's equipment, Zhu Youxiao, immediately issued a holy decree to Sun Chengzong, asking Sun Chengzong to transfer all the craftsmen of the Ming army's weapons manufacturing to the imperial military factory, and all the qiē weapons needed by the Liaodong soldiers and horses will be manufactured by the imperial military factory and delivered in the form of orders.
The Ming army in Liaodong has its own equipment manufacturing capacity, and it is easy to deduct the cost of raw materials and craftsmen, and the weapons manufactured may not necessarily pass the test. Compared to the Royal Arsenal, cost and quality are not under control. And once the city is broken, these craftsmen will be obtained by wild boar skins.
The best way is naturally to concentrate all the craftsmen of Liaodong in the imperial military factory, the quality and cost are under the control of Zhu Youxiao, and the silver can be spent on the blade, so as not to provide a bunch of inferior equipment to the front-line soldiers.
