Chapter 44 The Great Unity of China
"Golden State and California mobilized 200,000 people in the first phase, 600,000 in the second phase, plus the 100,000 troops originally stationed in the two capitals, here is 700,000, and the first and second batches of 300,000 troops! The first phase of the million-strong army will all be in place by the end of August! ”
"In addition, the Pacific Route has also mobilized 12 shipping companies, and the financial allocation is 10 million yuan for the transportation of material personnel, and another 300 million yuan of war bonds will be issued this year for the North American war."
"As of the beginning of the month, 1 million rifles, more than 3,000 artillery pieces of various types, and 120,000 tons of ammunition have arrived at Jinzhou Port."
In the General Staff Headquarters of the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, the generals and senior staff officers from the army and navy, as well as Zhu Daohua, the Emperor of the Ming Empire, pondered on the map and sand table of North America.
Emperor Zhu smiled slightly and said: "The population of Jinzhou California is mostly young and strong, and there is almost no elderly population, and the 600,000 army will not be broken, and I estimate that another 600,000 can be mobilized, that is, 1.2 million troops." We also have to send people over there, this war is fought, and it is not too much to send two million people over, anyway, the soldiers sent over will be arranged on the spot after the war is over, and they will be rewarded with the fertile soil of North America! ”
"Your Majesty, even now, there are already a million troops in North America."
"Yes, King Qin can now command an army of millions!"
Gu Song also said with a smile.
The Emperor of the Ming Empire, the sun of the Chinese countries, the eternal leader of the Chinese people, long live Zhu Daohua has not left the capital yet.
The Son of Heaven's personal expedition is not a trivial matter.
A whole bunch of miscellaneous things.
The political arrangements after leaving Zhongdu alone are a big deal that has to be dealt with.
Although the crown prince has been in power for many years, it is the first time that he has really served as a prisoner.
Therefore, this time is also a test for the crown prince.
However, Emperor Zhu felt that as long as the crown prince followed the rules, there would basically not be much of a problem.
Moreover, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to delegate legislative power from the emperor to the parliamentary house.
Before that.
The law of the Ming Dynasty.
The law is the king.
And now, Emperor Zhu intends to give the parliamentary yuan a certain amount of legislative power.
The law comes from the king and the council.
This will definitely weaken the emperor's power to a certain extent - but as Emperor Tong Zhu said to the crown prince Zhu Yichi, it is only the Ming emperors after Zhu Daohua who can really be weakened.
Although Emperor Zhu is only in his forties now, he has already begun to make arrangements for his posthumous affairs.
First of all, the royal family, the princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty cannot be raised as pigs, nor can they raise Gu.
The Ming royal consortium and the kings surnamed Zhu are all places where the royal family goes.
The Daming Imperial Family Foundation has a special "Royal Education Fund", and every member of the royal family will receive the best education.
Whether you are engaged in politics, business, or even a doctor, a lawyer, or a scientific researcher, you can do it.
A large and vibrant royal family is Zhu Daohua's hope.
Secondly, there is the arrangement of power.
Emperor Zhu is actually not a great talent.
The method of power structure he knew was nothing more than the centralization of monarchy in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the constitutional monarchy, federal system, presidential system, and the like introduced in textbooks.
but also the country of the Hereafter.
In addition to resource countries such as Saudi Arabia, they still retain a real monarchy.
Or something as bizarre as Thailand is.
Most of the countries that retain their monarchies are hypocrites – of course, in theory, the king (queen) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is not imaginary, and the theoretical power is still quite large, but the British, who are very good at playing politics, choose not to use these theoretical powers.
Otherwise.
The King of Great Britain deposes a Prime Minister today and dissolves Parliament tomorrow – and they can do that under British law.
But if they do it, I'm afraid they will break the sky.
It is possible that the United Kingdom will become a federal republic in a minute - it will be a relatively optimistic outcome if it becomes a federation, and England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales may be able to pick and choose to go it alone.
Therefore, Emperor Zhu did not play any originality, since the Qing Dynasty, which engaged in absolute monarchy, could not win the British Empire, which engaged in close collusion between the monarch, the bourgeoisie, and the new aristocracy.
Then this new Ming has to study hard.
The emperor, the nobles, the new bourgeoisie, the classes that have the resources of society must collude and unite.
As for how to unite?
Of course, it is necessary to have equal interests.
The greatest interest is power.
By giving legislative power to the House of Representatives, a new class of nouveau riche was formed that was closely united around the royal family.
Let's work together to cut the leeks of the people of the world.
In this way, can the status of the Zhu dynasty be stable for at least three or four hundred years?
And this third thing.
It is the general who arranges the expedition.
Chaozhou Hou Luo Dingshan, Xiangshan Hou Wang Dayong, Shaozhou Hou Chen Dewang, Songzhou Hou Yang Fang, Chongzhou Hou Yang Yuchun.
These five generals are the generals that the Ming Dynasty can now take charge of alone - to be honest, Emperor Zhu felt a headache when he saw the names of these five people.
These people, the more famous ones in history are only Er Yang - but Er Yang also led the troops to fight during the Opium War, which is called a mess of loss.
Use them to confront Napoleon and his generals of the Old Guard.
Oh, and the British Empire, and the United States.
It's worrying just to think about it.
But then again, the environment shapes people, and the environment cultivates people.
They were all trained in the long war.
And
Until now.
The role of several of them is more to "sit in charge".
As for the specific operation, it still has to rely on a group of young staff officers to plan.
The current war is often fought by millions of soldiers on huge battlefields.
Plans that rely on the commander-in-chief to pat the head are often full of loopholes.
Any movement of the armed forces must be carefully planned and calculated.
The whole army is becoming more and more like a machine.
Now serving Emperor Zhu as a staff officer is Major General Zheng Guohong, the head of the first generation of "genius staff officers" trained by the Daming Military Academy system.
Zheng Guohong was dutifully telling Emperor Zhu about the military situation.
When he heard Emperor Zhu mention the million army, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Majesty, we have a lot of soldiers, and now there are many people who want to be soldiers, let alone a million, even if it is five million, we can mobilize it!" ”
Emperor Zhu shook his head: "You can't have such an idea, people, I know that it is, but it is not used to be sacrificed casually, and the battlefield is in North America, and our people and materials will be sent across the Pacific Cloud!" ”
"Your Majesty, the Generalissimo's Office is preparing to set up a joint transport department to manage the transportation of Ka to North America, and the shipyards everywhere are now producing ships at full capacity."
Emperor Zhu nodded, and was about to explain a few words.
I saw the crown prince Zhu Yichi coming in a hurry.
Then he said: "Let's go here today, tomorrow I will inspect the fleet, the materials for North America this time will be all boarded tomorrow, the accompanying guards must also be prepared, and the soldiers and horses sent by Korea, Japan, Annam, and Siam must also be arranged." ”
Korea, Japan, Annam, and Siam will also send large armies to this time, although the number of dispatches is not large, and the largest number of Koreans and Japan is only 50,000 each.
But it's just a gesture.
It symbolizes the great unity of Chinese civilization. (End of chapter)
