The report of the "Paris Saint-Germain" newspaper gave Li Fushou a wake-up call, and he summoned Li Sixian, deputy director of the palace secretariat, and instructed;

"You ask the Imperial Attaché to compile the situation of the war between Ballarat and the South, and report it quickly. In addition, the wartime emergency committee was notified to make a summary of the previous year, to summarize the relevant situation as soon as possible, to find out the used family resources, about the disbandment of the fourth phase of conscription, and the implementation of the compulsory military service system from 1891, and the relevant evaluations, meritorious service, and rewards of each regiment in the later period can be carried out. The following arrangements should be made for these related matters, and a common practice should be formed at the beginning of the year and the end of each year......"

Li Fushou paced back and forth, talking about whatever he wanted, and talked endlessly for more than ten minutes, and Deputy Director Li Sixian recorded the dragon and snake, for fear of missing the key edict, and he didn't even have time to speak.

"Oh...... By the way, let Duan Qirui report on the war in the south and the aftermath. ”

"I follow Your Majesty's orders, do you have anything else to do?"

"No, let's do this for the time being, your secretariat summarizes the opinions on the adjustment plan of the administrative agency, and discusses it as soon as possible, and strives to finalize it in the next two months.

"The ministers will obey Your Majesty's will and will do it as soon as possible."

Nowadays, whether it is the Secretariat or the Emergency War Committee, there are too many affairs to be busy every day, and the kingdom has just been established, and the original nine-division system is no longer out of date, and it is urgent to upgrade and reset, which is the most important thing at present.

Secondly, seeing that the Civil War is coming to an end, and the matter of knighthood is also on the agenda, many people are watching it with their eyes, and they can't make the meritorious heroes feel cold!

Li Fushou accepted the title of "King of Qin", and he was the lord of a country, and his full name in the future is;

His Majesty the King of the Ocean Kingdom, the Sovereign of Borneo, Somalia and Mozambique, the Guardian of the Interests of Overseas Chinese, the King of Qin, the Duke of Shangri-La, the Earl of Queensland, the Lord of the Trust Territory of Sulawesi, the Lord of Hawaii and Saipan, and the Protector of the Kingdom of Lanfang.

Although the Manchu Qing State and the Fusang State have not yet officially stated their position, the Ocean Kingdom has been widely recognized by the European and American international community, the royal system has legitimacy and legitimacy, and King Li Fushou has the right to divide the titles of nobility in a large manner, so this matter has been put on the agenda.

According to the framework of dividing the nobility formulated by Li Fushou, there are ten counts, thirty-six viscounts, and one hundred and eight barons, as for the number of barons and knights, they are not included in the content of the noble division at the beginning of the kingdom.

Many anxious people have begun to look for famous artists to design exclusive noble badges, just wait for the title to be awarded, then go to the Badge Committee under the House of Nobles of the Kingdom to apply for a case, after passing the family mansion, carriages, cars, clothing on the exclusive noble badge, highlighting the extraordinary status.

It is understandable that everyone has a utilitarian heart.

Not long after Li Sixian, deputy director of the secretariat, left, the new military attache of the royal family, Colonel Duan Qirui, came with the information in his hand, waited outside the Xianju Hall for a while, and then followed the royal secretary into the Xianju Palace, bowing affectionately and respectfully; "Your Majesty is auspicious, and the attendant military attache Duan Qirui will see Your Majesty."

"Oh, it's Qirui, let's sit next to him for a while." Li Fushou looked up, gave a casual order, and continued to correct the documents in his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Duan Qirui found a brocade stool on the side and sat down carefully, only made 1/3 of his buttocks, his upper body was straight like a green pine, leaning forward slightly, if he didn't know what this posture was, then just look at the first grade of primary school.

More than 10 minutes later

Li Fushou dropped the pen in his hand, pinched his eyebrows with his hand and said; "Alas, the endless twists and turns that are criticized every day are too big to see."

"Your Majesty has every opportunity to create a dream paradise for overseas Chinese in Australia, which is an immortal achievement, and the Chinese in Australia and even overseas territories are blessed and admired, and the ministers have the heart but are unable to share the emergency, and they are really ashamed."

"Qirui is too humble to say this, your brothers have performed well in this battle between the north and the south, and they have won my heart."

"Your Majesty, Qi Rui is not too modest, but feels weak from the bottom of his heart." Duan Qirui saluted with his hand and said with a straight face;

"Before entering the palace as an attendant military attaché, the minister thought that he was commendable in military command, and his performance was much better than that of many bureaucrats in the same period.

However, after entering the palace, what I saw and heard were all international and domestic events, related to the trend of the world, involving politics, economy, military, finance, people's livelihood, law, education, colonial construction and many other things, often reported in English, French, and German, and 9 out of 10 things did not understand.

Qi Rui suddenly woke up and knew that he was a frog at the bottom of the well, and his conceited and extraordinary actions in the past were really smiling and generous.

His Majesty sits in the center to guide the wind and clouds, brings together the fate of tens of millions of people, and is in charge of the country's heavy weapons, and sees thunder in a silent place.

The minister's heartfelt admiration is so great, and the mountains are also admired!

Every sentence and every word Qirui said is a heartfelt word, and I wish to always attach to the tail and do some insignificant things for my Chinese compatriots, this life is enough! ”

After speaking, Duan Qirui stood up and fell to the ground respectfully.

It is comfortable to get along with smart people, Li Fushou accepted his worship calmly, and said with a warm look in the corner of his eyes; "I know all your wishes, and I am very gratified, I am not alone! I heard that you have hired English and German teachers, and you can see that you are motivated, which is very good.

If you work by my side for a few years and have more contact with macro affairs, you will have a broader perspective and vision of problems, and you will not be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place.

In the future, if you have the opportunity, you will go to Europe and the United States to have a look, inspect modern warfare on the spot, think deeply about the relationship between social development and war, and not limit your vision to the military sphere, but also pay more attention to the people's livelihood and social and economic development, so that we can make progress. ”

"When a protégé is taught, he will take His Majesty's entrustment as his life motto and practice it." Duan Qirui respectfully lay on the ground and kowtowed, this is a gift of apprenticeship, and he will consider himself a protégé in the future.

Li Fushou didn't mean to refuse, in fact, all the secretaries who walked out of him could be counted as protégés, although there was no teacher and student, but there were teachers and students, all of them could be regarded as political elites cultivated by Li Fushou himself.

It's like a natural ingredient that is delicious when simmered.

Li Fushou's control of the army was particularly deep, because the grassroots officers of the Eagle School had full control of the army, so his influence could penetrate into the company, platoon-level officers and even ordinary soldiers, which was the unique high prestige of the founding monarch.

This time, the special establishment of the royal chamberlain and military attache office is an important measure for the in-depth training of high-ranking officers, and it is also one of the necessary measures to fully control the army.

The first important task received by the Attaché's Office was to ~ prepare for a comprehensive rotation of senior officers in the whole army and formulate a regular rotation system.

For example, Major General Fritz, commander of the Shangri-La Division, has been in the division for nearly 10 years, and he will be transferred to the Whampoa Infantry Academy as vice president after being knighted and awarded the title of senior officer in this rotation.

Similarly, there are four veteran cavalry divisions of the Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, and Wolf, the 1st and 2nd Kalimantan Divisions, the African Expeditionary Corps, and other combat units.

The system of "soldiers for generals" will not work in the Ocean Kingdom, and all officers and soldiers of the army can only be loyal to the kingdom and to His Majesty the King.

Since 1891, the Ocean Kingdom has changed from a conscription system to a national compulsory military system, except for professional officers and sergeants, all ordinary soldiers are recruited under the compulsory military system, with a service period of three years, and they will be automatically discharged at the end of their service.

A few words of explanation

Li Fushou returned to the topic and asked; "What's going on with the war in the south, and tell me about it?"

Duan Qirui had done a lot of homework before coming, and all the content was in his heart, so he didn't need to open the folder in his hand and explain it fluently;

"Back to Your Majesty's words;

The war in the south and the follow-up arrangements are divided into four major areas, the first of which is the war in New South Wales (including Sydney) and the follow-up security operations.

The second major block is the Victorian (including Melbourne, excluding Ballarat) war and subsequent security operations.

The third block is the current situation of the ongoing Ballarat strangulation battle.

The fourth major block is the general arrangement for the southern states to enter full military control after the war.

Now I would like to report on the first major post-war matter, after the bloody battle of Sydney, the Emergency Wartime Committee conducted a detailed survey of the society in New South Wales (the area south of Beilun City), and counted the number of Caucasian people living in the area of 177,300, of whom 70% were young women, 20% were children, and 10% were adult men.

More than 1,700 white farmers, mine owners, and plantation owners are suspected of supporting the rebellion in various ways, accounting for 92% of the population, and are expected to receive a fair trial, and the relevant work is being carried out in depth.

The situation in New South Wales has been initially determined, and a total of 27,900 disabled soldiers in Corps A have been discharged early, and the meritorious fields and awards have been placed in New South Wales, well...... It was planned that each disabled soldier would be cared for by a white woman, on a voluntary basis.

This not only solves the problem of the young white woman's subsequent life, but also on the other hand, it is also a reward for the meritorious soldier to properly settle his future life.

Because of the many seizures that followed, it was estimated that each retired disabled soldier would receive £27 and 17 shillings in cash compensation, plus a salary and war allowance for the duration of his service, which would have amounted to £41 3 shillings and 7 pence per person, and the average meritorious field would have reached 26.3 acres, enough to sustain a medium-sized plantation or a small pasture.

Besides

Huitong Bank and Shangri-La Bank also provide concessional loans of between £30 and £50 per person to help with the purchase of means of production, the construction of houses, the purchase of livestock and fields, etc., to ensure the livelihood of disabled soldiers after discharge.

In terms of land purchase policy, the Emergency War Commission also gave preferential policies, allowing disabled soldiers to purchase up to 20 acres of land at a preferential price, and the excess was calculated at market value.

The other soldiers of the A Corps are currently in the service period, and it is expected that there will be no large-scale reinstatement within two years, and their merit evaluation will follow the soldiers' personal files, and the main distribution after retirement is also in the Southern State, which has about 140,000 officers and soldiers, mainly arranged in New South Wales.

At present, the law and order in New South Wales is stable, the society is calm, the work of retiring disabled and demobilized soldiers is being carried out smoothly, the people are stable, and the southern extension of the coastal railway is being accelerated, only 44 kilometers away from the Victorian border, and is expected to be completed in four months.

As a state of New South Wales that suffered more trauma after the war, according to His Majesty's instructions, it is strictly forbidden for ordinary residents to cross the Beilun line, and immigrants are strictly prohibited from entering the state at will. ”

As for the post-war arrangements in New South Wales, Li Fushou was generally satisfied, and basically carried out the arrangements to the letter, and the results were quite good.

The 27,900 disabled soldiers of the A Corps could not continue to serve, and these soldiers who had experienced bloody battles were loyal soldiers, and if they were placed in New South Wales on favorable terms, they could create a large number of small and medium-sized landowners who were committed to supporting the rule of the kingdom and became the pillar group of social stability.

Both ranchers and planters were conservative in their own interests, and were staunch supporters of kingdom rule, and the benefits were self-evident.

New South Wales has experienced several large-scale bloody battles in less than half a year, and the size of the white population has been drastically reduced from more than 600,000 to 177,300.

For ordinary people, war is undoubtedly a great tragedy.

For example, why so many people died in the war, and whether there was an indiscriminate killing or targeting...... Ahem, no one can tell this thing, and there is no time to investigate it, since it is peaceful, let's live a good life!

The white people in New South Wales have died, and the vast pastures and townships are basically empty, which is very conducive to the resettlement of disabled soldiers, and there is no resistance to the implementation of the resettlement work, and everything is going smoothly.

As Chinese who survived the war, there is no doubt that they will spend all their money on buying land, and they will definitely use the preferential policies, and even if they don't, they will be encouraged to do so by the policy propaganda.

This is due to the infinite love for the land in the hearts of the Chinese people, and it will not be weakened by half a point wherever they go.
