said that it would be good to recuperate for three or five years, but Zhu Jianji found that it was the heroic teacher of the Ming Dynasty who cultivated and the development of the country, and he was actually more tired for the Ming Dynasty, whether it was Gyeonggi or local officials.

Since the officials are tired, can the Son of Heaven relax?

In the past, Emperor Zhu Qiyu was in charge of people's livelihood affairs, but now he is recuperating, and the reform and the sinking of multiple departments are not ordinary people's livelihood affairs, and they all need to be grasped by Zhu Jianji himself.

On the contrary, Zhu Jianji felt that he was more tired than during the expansion period.

So he lay down on the chair, "Hang Shangshu, you see, I need to personally decide on the launch of the cruiser in Dengzhou Shipyard, this is not a technical or theoretical matter, it is just a purely comprehensive consideration, and the cabinet can do it, but it is biased to be submitted to the Wenhua Palace, I think this son of heaven is too salty, in fact, I am very tired, so I feel ...... Our cabinet still needs to be strengthened, and the emperor has to make use of it as much as possible, and I will be tired to death sooner or later."

Hang Min said with a smile: "No one in the cabinet understands such a novel matter as the steel battleship, if you don't send it to Wenhua Palace, you can only listen to Li Shunda's words, then you can choose a day to go into the water, instead of postponing it for a while, Your Majesty, those who can work hard."

Zhu Jianji was speechless, "In my opinion, our uncles and nephews are all tired to death."

Hang Min laughed a few times.

I secretly said in my heart, the merits of Weichen, in terms of the position of the minister, are already famous, why not die of exhaustion, besides, he is only fifty-six years old, and the martyr is full of strength in his twilight years, and he can fight for His Majesty, the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world for more than ten years.

Don't be afraid of broken bones, you want to leave a green name in the world!

This is the meaning of men with lofty ideals in this world.

……

……

After Hang Min left, Zhu Jianji reclined in his chair and sat paralyzed for a while before he became invigorated.

Review first and straighten out the current situation.

Let Dai Yi grind the ink and lay the paper.

Zhu Jianji first wrote the word "military" on rice paper, and reviewed the military first.

After all, the military is a fist.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty requires a hard and strong fist.

Military:

Twenty-six guards of the pro-army, has not yet been restructured, except for the Jinyi guard, each guard was originally 5,600 people, these years of war, the pro-army twenty-six guards have been overnumbered, basically each guard is about 10,000 people.

The number of brocade guards has also reached 80,000.

There is no way, the population is booming, and it is always necessary to find a place to settle down.

That's 350,000 troops.

The border army has not yet been restructured, and the regular garrison force along the Great Wall is 150,000, including the Liaodong Division, but now Liaodong is no longer considered a border.

Strictly speaking, the Great Wall is not called a border.

The northern border of the Ming Dynasty is the end of the Mobei grassland, and now the three major capitals of Mobei plus the Northeast Capital Division are the border army, but the Mobei and the Northeast have not been completely naturalized, so there are still tens of thousands of standing garrisons along the Great Wall, and the rest of the troops have been withdrawn to the three major capitals of Mobei and the Northeast Division.

Along the Great Wall, the three major capital divisions of Mobei and the Northeast capital division, with a total strength of more than 200,000 troops.

These are all real elite divisions.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty also has several guards in Hami in the north, a guard in the Hetao area, and the commander of Zhao Mu in Baiqingzhi, and now there are 20,000 troops in the Zhenbei army in the Hami area.

It's almost a hundred thousand here.

350,000 plus 100,000 plus 200,000, the 700,000 or so troops here are basically not garrisons.

It needs to be fully supported by the imperial court.

It's expensive.

But it has to be raised, because Daming will expand north after recuperation.

And south of Gyeonggi, there are more than a dozen capital divisions, each of which has tens of thousands of people, but Yunnan has the most, a full two or three hundred thousand, so this is about 800,000 troops, and the good news is that these troops are all cantonment troops.

Pressure on the imperial court

Not too.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty and the Indochina Peninsula Jiaozhi Division, Vientiane Division, Champa Division, Phnom Penh Division, and Ayutthaya Division, the five major capital divisions now have nearly 200,000 troops.

The 200,000 did not bring much pressure to the imperial court, and they were all supported by local taxes.

And the South China Sea Fleet.

Zhang Bu and Xiang Yu are doing well in Taiwan, and now they have 100 warships and more than 30,000 troops.

And, of course, an ace unit, the Jingo Army.

That's 100,000!

In this way, Da Ming now has a huge army of two million!

However, after the South China Sea Fleet was equipped with steel warships, it seems that the original wooden warships could be sold to private trading houses to make up for the financial shortfall.

It also counts as an income.

Moreover, the population of the Ming Dynasty is now approaching 200 million, and it is not much to raise 12 million troops.

It's even a little less.

After all, in this era, most of the time it is still a crowd tactic.

Moreover, at the peak of the Ming Dynasty, the number of troops was as high as 2.6 million.

In the future, troops will be stationed overseas, so the strength of the army will definitely continue to rise, so the economic pressure brought by this is also very great, and the sea trade will continue to be strengthened, and the blood sucking of the Indochina Peninsula will enter the regular mode as soon as possible.

As for whether Indochina will fall into poverty forever after sucking blood, Zhu Jianji doesn't care.

As long as China is strong, nothing else is a problem.

After reviewing the military affairs, Zhu Jianji wrote a few words at the end: 3.5 million!

The number of male divisions of the Ming Dynasty should be stable at 3.5 million.

Because in the future, it will be in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Luzon and Manchuria, well, Manraka is Malacca, and more than 100,000 troops will be stationed in these places.

Without troops, it is impossible to firmly and completely control these critical areas.

At the same time, for the sake of China's future, the uranium-rich lands of Siberia and the Middle East, the Ming Dynasty will definitely bring them into the control of its forces, which requires hundreds of thousands of troops.

So 3.5 million is not necessarily enough.

Think about it.

If the military layout really achieves the above, then the Ming Dynasty must have suppressed Europe and the Americas, and as for Asia, there is no need to worry, in this way, the Ming Dynasty will not need so many troops internally.

Three and a half million should be enough.

After all, our Ming Dynasty has a cross-era advantage over the whole world, in warships and firearms.

When the review came here, Zhu Jianji wrote two words under the military personnel: firearms.

At present, the firearms owned by the Ming Dynasty include Dongfeng rifles, Dongfeng light and heavy machine guns, Dongfeng mortars, Dongfeng firepower heavy artillery, steam tanks, steam transport vehicles, and steel warships.

Among them, Dongfeng rifles and light and heavy machine guns were only equipped with the Jinge Group Army.

The 1st and 2nd Tank Battalions were two separate armies.

Directly governed by the Son of Heaven.

The steel warships are currently only available for the South China Sea Fleet.

It is also directly governed by the Son of Heaven.
