Chapter 580 Deployment and Placement of Armed Forces

The Ming Dynasty Jingshi should be the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City, the new capital city of Tianfu Jiangbei, and the Ming Emperor Zhu Jingyuan has been reading various year-end reports these days.

Since the early years of the Grand Duke, although the Ming Dynasty has not carried out a comprehensive mobilization, the resources and manpower of the entire empire have also been tilted towards war to a large extent.

Now that the large-scale war has come to an end, the most important task that must be done is to readjust the policy orientation.

Eliminate too many unnecessary armies and focus on the development of science and technology and industry.

Before the Taixi War, in the last years of Ankang, the total number of the Ming Standing Army was about 10 million.

In the early years of the Grand Duke, the number continued to increase to 20 million.

This included 14 million main forces and about 6 million servants.

The members of the main force of the Ming Dynasty are all people who have Ming citizenship, or who have been able to enjoy the treatment of Ming citizens.

Among them are the Ming people in the narrowest sense, that is, the Han people whose ancestral home is in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, but now their household registration may be anywhere in the world.

It also includes the local border ethnic groups such as Mongolia, which have been listed as the Ming dynasty according to the regulations of Emperor Shizu, as well as their children and those of the Han Chinese.

Plus the mixed descendants of the Ming clan with Koreans and Japanese.

There are also mixed-race descendants of the Ming clan and the Yin people and a small number of Yin people who have been completely naturalized.

In addition, the young people who have obtained the general education examination certificate among the mixed-race descendants of the Ming people and the people of various ethnic groups in the Nanyang.

Now their unified identity card is the general education examination certificate implemented by Zhu Jingyuan, and it will soon be officially changed to Daming ID card.

There is no difference in their status in the general examination certificate, and there is no difference in their daily management methods and treatment.

Servant soldiers are people who do not have Ming citizenship or do not enjoy citizenship.

The main force is completely unified in terms of documents and treatment, and its identity and status are also exactly the same.

However, the minion army system is a bit more complicated, and they are clearly divided into several different levels.

The first level is the people who have the national status of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the highest status in the servant army.

Including the already very rare naturalized Koreans and Japanese of pure blood.

and the equally rare people of mixed race descendants of the Ming clan and other indigenous people who have not yet obtained the general education examination.

The second level is those who have the right of abode in the Ming Dynasty, or have the citizenship of the Ming vassal state, or enjoy the citizenship of the vassal state.

It includes the indigenous servant armies of Yinzhou, Siam, Burma, Java, Luzon and the Nanyang Islands.

as well as Xianbei, Kazakh, Khiva, Persian, Egyptian and other foreign vassals and Hu servant soldiers.

There are also the indigenous Taixi people of the Dongyi Kingdom of Yinzhou.

The third level is the marginal people who have no formal citizenship, that is, those who only have the status of slaves, and their status is of course the lowest in the whole system.

The Ming Dynasty itself had completely abolished slavery, so only a very small number of slave armies of vassal states followed their masters to the battlefield.

More of them are the servant army organized by the black nobles of Mozhou, and all of them are slaves.

However, Da Ming knew that the combat effectiveness of the slave army was very scummy, so he did not let them enter the main battlefield of the Taixi Continent at all, but directly threw them in the Mozhou colony.

The border with the colonies of Germany, Lucia, and Italy continued to be defended, and there were no large-scale battles in practice.

In addition, after the Ming Dynasty officially entered the war, he also commanded more than two million British troops.

Louis XVII and Napoleon also organized a large number of Tessie immigrant servant armies in Yinzhou, totaling more than two million.

Throughout the war, the Ming mobilized and controlled a total of 24 million troops.

This is a very scary scale.

The Ming Dynasty recruited a large number of servant armies, with the idea of depleting the manpower of these vassal states.

But the whole war was mostly one-sided.

Even if the combat effectiveness of the servant army is not as good as that of the main army, the enemy has been frightened by the main force of the Ming Dynasty and the divine punishment weapons, and cannot exert its full combat effectiveness.

In addition, the war was fought for a total of a year and a half, and there was no repeated tug-of-war.

In the end, the total loss of troops on the Ming side was less than one million, and the total number of wounded personnel was less than three million.

Now most of the 23 million troops will be disarmed and returned to the field.

The focus is on how many people will be decommissioned, how many troops will continue to be retained, and where they will be arranged.

The mainland of Taixi is the newly conquered region, and it is also the region with the largest and most complex foreign population, so it is obvious that the largest number of troops will be arranged.

Zhu Jingyuan discussed with the relevant personnel several times, and finally decided not to station foreign servant troops on the Taixi Continent.

First of all, the main army of two million Ming Dynasty was arranged, which continued to serve as a regular army under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, responsible for suppressing and controlling the situation in the entire Taixi Continent.

They will also receive dividends on land or shares in local development companies in Tessie.

In addition, it was arranged that the main army of three million Ming Dynasty would retire on the Taixi Continent and disperse to settle in the fiefdoms of various large and small feudal states on the Taixi Continent.

Become the direct guards and brocade guards of each vassal state, as well as the rank and file officials.

In this way, a total of five million soldiers and local armed men, together with their families who followed them to immigrate to Taixi, were the basic force of the Ming Dynasty's control of the Taixi continent.

Most of the Ming soldiers who settled in Taixi would directly summon their family members from their hometown to go over after receiving the land wealth.

Ordinary retired soldiers at the grassroots level, if they don't have any other industries at home, their families may follow the emigrate.

Their parents and siblings will go, and some will bring their in-laws with them.

Because if they were just ordinary workers in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, they would have been at least a small farmer with 200 acres of land in Taixi's fiefdom.

There are also dozens of potential Tessie underclass people available for their servants......

Originally, the ordinary working families of the Ming Dynasty were actually not bad in life, but from the Ming Dynasty to Taixi, they directly became the ruling class.

It is an absolute "man on the man".

The attraction of this shift in status at the social level is strong.

According to the statistics and estimates of the management agencies of the three domains of Taixi, Xianbei and Rome, on average, a retired soldier can bring more than ten immigrants to the past.

If it was a squire or a countryman, as the lowest actual feudal lord, they might even bring dozens or hundreds of people over.

When it comes to barons like Wu Xiongying, if the original family is not big enough, a few people may be left to manage the original estate, and the entire family will migrate over.

If the scale of the original industry is relatively large, a large number of family members will be directly arranged to go over and open another family branch in Taixi's fiefdom.

Therefore, the scale of the five million soldiers who were placed in Taixi and the Ming immigrants who were eventually brought to the Taixi continent may reach more than 50 million.

They are all considered to be the ruling class on the Taixi Continent, and they all control enough social wealth, and they themselves do not have too much competition pressure and too much pressure on life.

Of course, these immigrant families of the Ming Dynasty will continue to have children normally.

According to conservative estimates, according to the calculation that each Ming woman only has five children, the number of Ming people on the Taixi continent will have a chance to increase to 100 million in twenty years.

If you add the Ming merchants and officials who immigrated to the past on their own, the number will definitely exceed 100 million.

As the absolute ruling class of the local Ming immigrant families, these Ming immigrant families will naturally accept a large number of Taixi women to join.

Then they will breed a mixture of descendants who are also likely to exceed 100 million.

The Taixi people have continued to migrate to Mozhou, and a large number of Taixi women have joined the Ming family, and the number of local Taixi people will continue to decrease.

Twenty years later, the number of Taixi people in the entire Taixi Continent should be reduced to less than 300 million.

If the population is calculated by family, the total population of the Ming family, which includes a large number of Taixi women, may exceed that of the indigenous Taixi family.

If this trend continues for another generation, the pure-blooded Tessie may become a minority.

At the same time, both the main force of the Ming Dynasty and the armed forces of the vassal states will gradually reduce their size as the situation stabilizes regionally.

In the end, it was reduced to the level of a million main forces and a million feudal forces.

Because the number of foreign tribes here will not disappear quickly, it is always necessary to maintain a sufficient military force as the ultimate guarantee of social stability.

Aside from the mainland of Taixi, the most complicated place is the West Ink Continent.

Most of the old nobles and officials of the Tessie Continent, as well as a large number of young officers and soldiers, were successively concentrated on this land.

The total area of this land is more than 10 million square kilometers.

There are at least 150 million Mo people living here, including the natives who have always lived here, as well as those who have been to Yinzhou and have been sent back.

There are also the Tianzhu people who migrated from Tianzhu in the British, and their descendants who multiplied in the British colonies.

The total number may already be more than 50 million.

When Britain first sold slaves to Tianzhu, it basically only sold young and middle-aged men.

However, with the extension of the slave trade and the relaxation of the slave prisoners' transportation capacity, some people began to sell young women in Tianzhu.

This was not only to allow the Tianzhu people to continue to reproduce a larger population, but also to provide entertainment for the rulers of the British colonies.

Then the Taixi people from Yinzhou immigrated.

Twenty years ago, at the end of the World War, the Portuguese and Spanish colonies in Yinzhou ceded a large area to the Ming Dynasty.

After the war, a large number of Yinzhou Portuguese, some Yinzhou Spaniards, under the guidance of the Portuguese and Spanish courts, came directly from Yinzhou to Mozhou.

Then there are the new immigrants from the mainland of Taixi.

After the end of the World War, before the start of the new Taixi War, in the past ten years, the Taixi countries have been vigorously developing the Mozhou colony.

The imperial courts and people of various countries successively migrated a large number of immigrants to Yinzhou.

Finally, there were the new immigrants after the Great War.

After Spain and France exchanged colonies with the Ming Dynasty, immigrants from Canada and Mexico would be sent to Mexico one after another.

After Zhu Jingyuan negotiated with Charlotte, the Tessians in the United States of Britain would also be sent to Mozhou one after another.

The old nobles on the Tessie continent, the officials of the original court at all levels, a large number of Tessie officers and soldiers, and a large number of wealthy merchants and factory owners.

After the war, he will be gradually exiled to the continent of Mozhou.

After occupying Constantinople and the Black Sea Straits, the Ming Dynasty's huge naval fleet and merchant fleet began to send this part of the personnel to Mozhou.

After more than a year of transportation, the number of Tessie people on the continent of Mozhou has exceeded 100 million.

It will continue to grow rapidly to more than 200 million people in the coming years.

Among them, the population from France, Spain, Ottomans, Austria and other countries will be sent to the corresponding monarch's territory as a matter of course.

The monarchs and courts of these countries that have become foreign vassals still exist, and there is no need for the Ming to worry too much.

However, the population from Germany, Lucia, and Italy can only be directly governed by the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Governor's Mansion retained the main army composed of two million Ming people, as well as a total of two million servant troops composed of foreign races.

Including Nanyang, Yinzhou, Taixi, Tianzhu, Persian, Egyptian, Kazakh, Xianbei Mongols and so on.

They are all soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in battle, and they will also be rewarded at different levels.

Like the local garrison of the Taixi Continent, there are at least two hundred acres of land.

All the original Mo armies were also under their original black aristocratic masters, who continued to command and manage them.

This part of the garrison will also have to be reduced as the situation stabilizes.

In the end, only one million main forces were retained, and all the servant armies of all clans were removed.

Except for the two regions of Mozhou and Taixi, the other regions controlled by the Ming Dynasty were generally relatively stable.

The Yinzhou area now has a main force of 1 million Ming troops, and a million Yinzhou servant army.

In the future, the Yin servant army will be gradually withdrawn, and only one million main forces of the Ming Dynasty will be retained.

For the time being, two million of the main force of the Ming Dynasty and two million servant troops of various ethnic groups will be retained for the time being.

In the future, the servant army will be gradually reduced, and only the main force of the Ming people will be retained.

Now the Ming Dynasty will currently retain a total of seven million main forces and five million servants of various clans.

A total of twelve million full-fledged armed forces.

If you count the three million armed forces managed and supported by the various vassal states of Taixi, the total is fifteen million.

The total number of armed forces now registered is twenty-three million.

Eight million troops will be decommissioned directly.

Most of these units are sub-units, and most of them are reservists recruited during preparation.

After the war began, there were basically no bad battles, and the establishment was basically full.

Most of the time, they followed and ran to several places, followed behind the main army and occupied some residential and military strongholds.

Then he was followed by the Tessie exiles and immigrants who had been escorted for a while.

Most people don't take any real credit and don't experience any real risks.

It is equivalent to going to the army for training, and then doing two or three years of hard work, and finally getting a full salary and discharge allowance.

Just do what you have to do when you get home.

In the future, the scale of the main force of the Ming Dynasty will be gradually reduced to five million.

In addition to the armed forces of the foreign vassal states themselves, all the servant armies under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court will be abolished.

The military is the highest institution of violence, and its main role in history has been to fight against forces outside its own country.

Now that the Ming de facto controls the globe, the direct role of the military has disappeared.

Unless there is a large-scale rebellion in some place, declares independence or even becomes emperor himself, then there is a chance for the army to come out directly.

It's just that this possibility is getting lower and lower, if the scale is not large enough, Jinyiwei can deal with it directly.

Therefore, the number of troops will definitely be greatly reduced.

It's just that the probability of low is not the same as none, and all kinds of accidents cannot be prevented.

Moreover, the army is the largest centralized personnel organization that the imperial court can directly control.

According to the experience of previous lives, if there is a large-scale natural disaster, the military is the largest force that can be quickly put into the rescue.

The yamen and Jinyi guard systems in various places are too scattered to organize too large-scale rescue operations.

So the regular army still has to be kept, and every continent has to have it.

Zhu Jingyuan plans to gradually hand over large-scale livelihood projects, large-scale infrastructure construction and support work, and affairs related to space exploration to the military in the future.
