Chapter 5: King's Landing (17)

"As long as these military households take root, this land of the state, after ten years, will not be able to achieve a Little China!" Cao Jixiang looked at the military households who were disembarking, and said to Ding Yi with a smile on his face.

However, Emperor Jing, who was also by Ding Yi's side, complained about Ding Yi: "I heard that the ministries and cabinets want to cut off the guards, and use the military to realize the overseas land, and the ministry is already unhindered. If not, tens of millions of military households will ......"

Ding Yi shook his head and intercepted Emperor Jing's words: "That's only afraid that Daming is in danger, and it is difficult to be safe overseas." ”

There is a reason why Emperor Jing brought up this matter. Because the imperial court did have such a meaning.

After the implementation of the reserve in China, the health center basically has no meaning. Don't think that after the expansion of the territory, the land price in China will fall, on the contrary, the higher the spoke. When Ding Yi had just taken Yunyuan, it had already begun to rise; Until Luzon and Java are in hand, even if it is a fertile land in Yunnan, the price will be doubled, and as for the land price in Guangzhou, it is jumping up with a bucket!

The Industrial Revolution began to be implemented in Liangguang, and both factories and smelters required a large amount of land.

How can land prices not rise? Liangguang is the most profitable, and Quanzhou is also rising, because in Quanzhou stationed a garrison of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, the supply of the fleet drove the whole city, and the wave of the industrial revolution also swept here at the same time; Although Jiang gradually is not as outrageous as Liangguang, it is far more expensive than Yunnan.

The issue of land price is specifically mentioned because after the Weisho lost its meaning, the fields of the military cantonment in the Weisho became the coveted place of many scholars and doctors. Even six ministries and cabinets. The strategy has been put on the effect that "each place follows the rules of the two Guangzhou, garrisoned by one division, and then matched with the military attache of people similar to the two Guangzhou", and then the guard is here. It's going to be cut as much as possible. The so-called every place is the political envoy, and in order to cut off with Meng Yuan, the Ming Dynasty does not use the title of "province" on the official document.

However, after ten years, Ding Yi has only trained the first and fourth divisions. These two forces are enough to be a division to guard a political envoy; In the second division of the Beijing Division, there was no experience of stationing a political envoy independently; Although the Third Division was able to hold the scene in Guanwai Town, it was because of its special composition of troops, its special geographical environment, and its mass base.

If the 3rd Division is transferred to Kannai to guard a place. At least Ding Yi has no confidence at all.

As for the troops of the Fifth to Tenth Divisions, don't mention them at all, about the First to Fourth Divisions can be directly crushed by one enemy and six divisions, and the difference in combat effectiveness can be seen from the soldiers of the Second Division and the Fifth Division.

At that time, Ding Yi was extremely shocked, feeling that the scholars of this era were really terrifyingly cruel, and he didn't care at all that this guard was a charter set up by Ming Taizu. Say cut, cut! In fact, Ding Yi wanted to eliminate it early on, this health system that has no practical use at all, but he is worried that the rebound will be too great. After all, it's an ancestral system.

Who knew that in the face of interests, the scholar doctor did not have so many concerns as Ding Yi.

In fact, wasn't it just for the sake of profit at the end of the Ming Dynasty that the scholars collapsed the Ming Dynasty?

Ding Yi is really, overestimating the bottom line of this class.

The military households have been cut, and the military department obviously has interests. Ma Ang also asked Ding Yi to ask for credit at that time: "The military household is overseas, and the old man and the public are doing it." It's really enough to solve the worries of Jin Gong. "Doesn't Ding Yi always say that there are too few overseas Mings? The military households were laid off, and they were all thrown overseas by Ding Yi. Won't everyone be able to divide the land of the guard?

As for the labor of farming? Blacks, Japanese people, Egyptians, sent back in large numbers, this is the demographic dividend, the war dividend is not just silver! Although many blacks were lazy, the scholars and the powerful invented a very good method, which was to use Japanese people to manage blacks, which was very efficient according to rumors that I don't know how many people were true. If the blacks reached the point where they could no longer bear to strike, Haoqiang would lynch them and kill the widows to vent their anger to the blacks. Usually the Kunlun slaves would think that the Huaxia master was very good, and they continued to work.

In this way, for scholars, the price of land that is constantly rising, has; There are working slaves, too; can still find Ding Yi to show his merits, I feel that Ding still owes everyone a favor! As for the emperor? I'm sorry, how can the emperor "compete with the people"?

In the end, it was Ding Yi who carried it hard, and this thing didn't work out.

Otherwise, in addition to the pro-army Shangzhi Twenty-six Guards, the court bigwigs would really dare to directly cut off the guards.

Ding Yi talked with Ma Ang all night before Ma Shangshu understood, not to mention that the army of the first division guarded a political envoy, and the strength of the three divisions might not be able to guard a political envoy!

Moreover, the officials who can do the work of the people's armed forces, reserve training and other affairs are not so easy to train.

Isn't it just that you know how to train, people want to farm, they have to go to work, they are all dragged to train the army, and they don't need to eat? Are there no factories or fields? You also have to know how to manage the balance between the two. It also took ten years for Liangguang to train such a group of people, and the other dozen or so political envoys, where did they find so many people to use at a time?

Therefore, for places other than Liangguang, the health center still has the value of their existence.

If it is really cut in this way, Fujian, Zhejiang, Yunnan, and Guizhou in the south are fine, although they have not completely reformed the land like the two Guangzhou, but there are many similar changes, and basically the people's livelihood problems caused by land no longer exist or are not too acute. But the north is different, the industry has not developed, and the gentry have been frantically enclosing the land, otherwise for so many ten years, how did so many people who fled from the north come from?

This requires the class contradiction to break out to a certain extent, and it is said that it will break out, especially in the south.

If even the guards are cut, it will really be a big mess in the world.

Although Emperor Jing has also sat on the dragon chair, in terms of military affairs, he is really not as good as Shang Maang of the Ministry of War.

So he couldn't figure it out, Ding Yi was in a good mood at this time, and threw a question to him: "Ding Zhuang, who is the main labor force in the family, calls people out for training, although he is given food and drink, what should his family do?" Without training, how can the combat effectiveness of the reserves be guaranteed? So, how many days should I go out to train every ten days? How much silver taels should be paid for equipment and food per person per month? How much silver taels should be spent on the instructors and ammunition at the venue? ”

Emperor Jing immediately became dumb. At that time, in Jingshi, it was Ding Yi's series of questions that made Ma Ang change his mind and realize that his previous cognition was too unrealistic.

These things, if they are quoted from the scriptures, are really fought to the end, and even if they are mouthful, they will not be convinced;

As soon as you pick out the details, you become very clear.

These Ding Zhuang who participated in the reserve must be able to survive for themselves and their families, otherwise, people will come out at most to name them, who has the heart to train? And this money can't be unlimited, of course, you still have to spend less and do more, right? It's not a problem that can be solved with a single tap on the brain.

"Let's go down and have a look." As soon as Ding said hello, he led Cao Jixiang and Emperor Jing and others, changed into assault boats and went ashore. At this time, the beachhead had been dug up in a rough appearance, and more soldiers were taking assault boats from the ships to go ashore one after another, while the engineer regiment directly under the division of the 1st Praetorian Guard Division was rushing to repair the trestle.

This Smyrna originally had a trestle, but it was completely destroyed by artillery fire.

Not only in this ancient city, there are many casualties;

As far as Ding Yi and Emperor Jing could see, on the coastline, with the tide, countless corpses were pushed onto the beach.

That's the Ottoman fleet that sank in large numbers, the sailors who sank with the fleet.

"Galleys, poor galleys!" The veterans of the 1st Division of the Praetorian Guard of the New Roman Empire laughed loudly at the corpses and ship wrecks that had been pushed up by the waves.

No amount of galleys really meant anything for four battleships with four four-deck guns and six cruisers with double-decks.

Ding Yi's fleet used shells, and although the chambers were hot, it was impossible to maintain continuous fire for a long time, which is why he stopped after three salvos at Smyrna. If you have to, try not to overheat the chamber as much as possible. But at least the first few rounds of salvos, the interval is extremely short.

The battleships have more than 50 guns on one side, and the cruisers have about 20 guns on one side, that is, the Ottoman galleys have to face high-explosive warheads fired by nearly 400 guns, which are all rifled guns, and the fuse is preset - this is very important, that is, theoretically it can be set to bloom in the air, and it will not be lost into the sea due to error.

"Sir." Du Ziteng watched Ding come over, and immediately greeted him with the guards, "There has been no contact yet." ”

Ding nodded and said to Fat Wen: "You go over and ask Yuzhi how long it will take him." ”

For Smyrna, Ding Yi did not intend to cause more casualties.

He can accept the inevitable harm to civilians in the midst of war; But after the victory and defeat have been divided, to kill civilians again, except for the Wa Kingdom, in other places, Ding Yi feels unacceptable. So he gave Liu Ji time, as he said to Du Ziteng: "If possible, I hope to continue to maintain the current ammunition reserves." "That is, not a single shot.

"Yes, sir." Du Ziteng knew what Ding Yi meant.

"If it weren't for their bloodlessness, how could Great Qin perish?" Emperor Jing was very unimpressed, in his opinion, the lives of these Greeks were not worth mentioning. Because he thinks that these people are all Roman traitors.

Ding Yi didn't see it that way: "No, that's a soldier I didn't enlist." (To be continued) R580
