The cabinet ministers have always opposed military expansion, and Zhao Han always agreed to it for the sake of finances. But as the territory continues to grow, the number of troops will inevitably continue to increase.
There are 18 infantry divisions, each with 12,000 troops. Among them, there are 10,000 soldiers, and the remaining 2,000 belong to civilians, engineers, and logistics personnel. The civilian husbands recruited temporarily are only responsible for transporting food and grass, while the regular engineers and logistics soldiers have corresponding professional qualities. For example, gunpowder, artillery shells, ten thousand enemies, etc., will not be handed over to civilian husbands for escort. Even if the moat is to be filled, the engineers and soldiers lead the civilian workers to do things, and the efficiency is much higher than that of the pure civilian workers.
There are 5 cavalry divisions, each with 15,000 troops. Among them, there are 12,000 soldiers, and the remaining 3,000 are all civilians and logistics, cooks, doctors, veterinarians, art troupes, horseshoes, and saddle repairers. And the 12,000 soldiers, after several adjustments, are not all cavalry, but also chariot soldiers and artillery units. The chariot soldiers can lead the army and civilians to form a chariot formation.
There are cavalry in the infantry division, and infantry in the cavalry division, and both have artillery, all of which belong to multi-arms coordinated forces. As for what to call it, it depends on whether it is mainly infantry or cavalry. The major cavalry divisions are all piled up on the northern border.
This is no longer a division, but a corps.
At this time in Europe, a mixed army of three or four thousand people can be named a certain legion.
The original coast guard was all incorporated into the patrol system. The existence of this kind of armed police force has reached 270,000 people nationwide.
In addition, there are 5,000 imperial city guards.
Luzon has 3,000 troops stationed in Datong, 1,000 troops in Baozhou, and 500 troops in Yecheng, Palembang, Malacca, Pattani, Yangon, Nihai (Bangkok), and Chittagong (the 500 troops in Bintong Longna have been abolished).
Therefore, counting the inspectors and armed police forces, the total strength of the army at home and abroad is more than 570,000.
If you count the urban police force, it will be even more terrifying, not to mention the peasant and soldier reserves in the countryside.
The envoy Dang Chongjun returned from North Korea, and the court immediately ordered preparations for war.
The troops stationed in Shanghai plan to dispatch 6,000 soldiers, all the artillery will be brought, and the cavalry will stay at home until the summer storm period is over.
The military rations were not prepared much, and the civilians were not recruited. Only the regular logistics soldiers and the navy were responsible. From Shanghai to Hanyang by boat, they all took the sea route back and forth, and mainly used intimidation. They really didn't plan to go deep into the mountains of North Korea to fight.
With frequent summer storms, the Navy has been waiting for the weather.
However, the monarchs and ministers of North Korea were worried that the Datong army would kill them, and at the same time kept busy with the cause of party struggle with a bit of luck.
A young man named Park Se-chae in the Western People's Party publicly declared: "Although a chaotic party is hateful, the new ideas of the Celestial Dynasty should also be used for reference. Although it is not in line with Zhu Zi's righteousness for the Chinese emperor to rule the "Da Tong Ji" to rule the world, it is It also has its essence. I, the Korean Confucian scholars, should discard the chaff and keep the essence of the academics of the Celestial Dynasty. First of all, we should face up to Yangming¡¯s theory of mind and stop denouncing the theory of mind as an evil way.¡±
Song Shilie, who is also proficient in Yangming's theory of mind, immediately refuted it: "The study of nature and reason is Zhu Zizhengshuo, and the study of mind is heresy. There is a Chen in China today. It is even more leftist to talk about the unity of qi, reason and mind." The right way among the ways!"
Pu Shicai said: "As the stars change and the world changes, Zhu Zi's learning is naturally correct, but Confucian scholars of my generation should also keep an eye on the current situation. I have never been to Nanjing, but I have studied in Nanjing for four years. to describe."
Song Shilie sneered: "During the Ming Dynasty, China was orthodox and North Korea was Dongyi. Now the Datong court has tampered with Zhu Zi's sacred teachings and promoted barbarian Western learning. Today's China has changed from Xia to Yi, and North Korea has turned Yi into Xia. This Zong Zhou's supreme principles cannot be changed lightly."
Song Shilie wanted to maintain Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and said that China had become a barbarian, while North Korea was the orthodox Confucianism in China.
Park Se-chae went to Nanjing to study abroad for four years and was greatly shocked physically and mentally, so he wanted to promote the liberation of North Korea's culture and thought.
At the beginning, the two were still academic disputes, but as officials continued to join, it quickly evolved into factional struggles. The officials around Song Shiyeol advocated the steady implementation of the Daedong Law, which is called the old school; while the officials around Park Se-chae advocated the popularization of the Daedong Law nationwide, called the Shi School.
? The Daedong Law of North Korea is the reform of the tax system in North Korea. It took a hundred years to complete the promotion in history.
In today's North Korea, although it is engaging in land transfers, those who are being executed are small local landlords. As for the real two classes of nobles, they secretly blocked and resisted even a policy like a whip.
The King of North Korea supported the Daedong Law, and the old school couldn't overthrow the achievements of the reform, so it wanted to delay and destroy it. The Times faction is more complicated, some are to cater to the king, some are to revitalize North Korea, they unite to quickly spread the reform to the whole country.
theHow many troops were sent, thinking that Zhao Han wanted to destroy North Korea directly. So surrounded by the ministers, King Li Wei took the royal family and ran away, only taking away the palace guards, but let the other troops continue to defend the city.
The Datong Army didn't think about destroying North Korea, so they didn't bother to surround Hanyang, and North Korea's monarchs and officials ran away easily.
The guarding army, seeing the king and ministers running away, began to surrender one after another.
"Is it done?"
The commander of the army is called Jin Yanjun, who joined the Datong Army in Hunan, and has now been promoted to deputy division commander.
His task is to intimidate the North Korean monarchs and ministers as much as possible. Unexpectedly, after a few volleys of artillery fire, the North Korean monarchs and officials abandoned the city, and the defenders in the city also put down their weapons.
What the hell is this?
Jin Yanjun ordered: "Half of the soldiers will go into the city, and they must not harass the people."
Three thousand Datong troops entered the city of Hanyang, and the Korean people were terrified. Some escaped from the north gate with their wives and belts, and most of them hid at home and shivered.
It didn't take long to see Anmin's notice posted that the Korean monarchs and ministers conspired to rebel, and this crime had nothing to do with the Korean people. The Holy Son of Heaven is benevolent and ordered not to hurt the people in the slightest, and everything in Hanyang City remains the same.
Gradually, some merchants took the courage to open stores, but there were no Datong soldiers to harass them.
Instead, it was the North Korean rebels. Some people took advantage of the chaos to rob and were caught and beheaded by the Datong army.
All these things made the people in the city happy, and even some Korean scholars took the initiative to promote the benevolence and righteousness of the Celestial Dynasty.

(Today I had two wisdom teeth pulled out. The anesthesia was over, and the pain was so painful that I didn¡¯t want to type. Moreover, Pharaoh had pharyngitis, and he would gag when there was a foreign object in his mouth. The dentist was speechless. The whole process was tragic and heroic.?
