- Master and disciple He Xinyin was right. Zhao Hao's coming here did have a bit of a "Meng Jin watching the troops" meaning. But he was not conducting a military parade, but reviewing various ideological trends.
Everyone has their own judgment on the big changes in the future.
For example, Zhao Shizhen looked down upon the Taizhou School. In addition to his own class attributes, another very important factor was that he believed that He Xinyin had seriously underestimated the strength of the Jiangnan Group.
They have no idea how strong the military strength of the group is.
The total strength of the four theaters of the Coast Guard, plus the strategic fleet directly under the General Headquarters and the Western Expedition Fleet in Europe, is about 105,000 people
Okay, it¡¯s too bullying than the Navy. After all, all the warships of the official army combined are no match for an armored cruiser. The cruiser is only the second-level ship of the Coast Guard.
Even if compared to the army alone, the group is still worthy of being an official army.
Excluding the Marine Corps, the training and equipment level, as well as the fighting will and discipline of the 60,000-member soldiers are beyond the reach of most officers and soldiers.
Of course, as the focus of Zhang Juzheng's reforms, the improvement of Ming Dynasty's military strength in recent years is also very significant. Although famous generals such as Yu Dayou and Ma Fang withered one after another. But there are still Qi Jiguang in Beijing, Li Chengliang in Liaodong, Ma Gui in Ningxia, Deng Zilong in Yunnan, Liu Wei in Sichuan, Qi Jimei in Fujian their stars are still shining.
These famous generals have their own strengths in commanding and deploying troops, especially the direct line troops are very powerful in combat effectiveness.
"But in the view of Zhao Shizhen, who only thinks about weapons, as long as all his soldiers are equipped with Wanli-style rifles, the barbed wire is pulled, trenches are dug, and coupled with a series of field artillery developed by himself, he will be able to crush anyone against him.
What, you said 60,000 soldiers are too few? That's a standing cadre of troops! There are still a total of 1.8 million reserve forces on the roster of the People's Armed Forces Department of the eighteen administrative regions!
Because overseas immigrants have to face various threats such as pirates, immigrants, indigenous people, and beasts, they must have sufficient self-defense capabilities.
"According to the group's regulations, all registered residents in the administrative region, including males between the ages of 16 and 36, who are in good health, have no disabilities, and have no criminal records, must register as reserves with the local armed forces and undergo regular military training. Whenever wartime or disaster occurs, the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces can conduct different levels of recruitment and mobilization in accordance with regulations, and lead reserve forces to participate in war or disaster relief.
According to statistics from the group¡¯s household registration department, as of the end of the 14th Wanli period, the registered population in various overseas administrative regions totaled 11.2 million, of which 33% were in the 16-36 age group and 54% were males. Therefore, there are nearly 2 million young and middle-aged men in the administrative region. Excluding those who do not meet the requirements, more than 1.8 million people become reserve forces.
In fact, the proportion of young adults in overseas administrative regions once exceeded 50%. However, in the past ten years, various administrative regions have ushered in the baby boom, and the first batch of immigrants have entered middle-aged and elderly people, so the proportion of young adults has only dropped to one-third.
The reservists are civilians in peacetime, but the annual military training time is no less than 300 hours, including no less than 10 days of off-the-job intensive training.
?????????????????? Basically, the production team and the unit are divided into units, and we train for one hour every morning. Then, spend a few days during the off-season to conduct intensive training organized by the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces. After doing some exercises, you can complete the annual tasks.
Not only will this not affect working time, but the long-term joint training will make the young and middle-aged people strong and organized, which will improve their labor efficiency a lot.
Although the reserve training time is not too long, it is enough to train a qualified musketeer.
In the cold weapon era, a farmer needed two or three years of training to exercise, master combat skills, and learn teamwork before he could become a qualified soldier. It even takes five or six years for an archer to be tempered. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for countries to invade. The hastily armed peasants were just a bunch of show-offs, completely vulnerable to a tough battle.
But the musketeers can be used as "violent troops". A musketeer can complete basic training in as little as one or two weeks, or as long as more than a month, and be sent to line up to be shot
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the physical requirements for musketeers are not high. You don't need to be very strong, as long as you can hold the gun. There is no requirement for shooting skills. Anyway, once the guns are fired and the smoke comes out, no one knows where their bullets will fly.
So in a state of emergency, theoretically, the group can convert 1.8 million reserves into 1.8 million soldiers in only seven days.
Of course, limited by the group¡¯s transportation and logistics capabilities, the maximum number of troops that can be mobilized in a short period of time is around 400,000. For a long-term war, ensuring an army of 200,000 is the limit.
¡°But if we really want to start a war in the mainland, the Jiangnan Group can mobilize far more than 200,000 troops.
Jiangnan Security Group¡¯s 50,000 armed security guardsThe 500,000 young and strong male employees of the group's subsidiaries and the 4 million agricultural workers and construction workers of the development companies are all excellent sources of soldiers who are loyal, organized, and disciplined. It only takes one or two months of training to be armed and ready to go to the battlefield.
The most powerful thing about Jiangnan Group is not its powerful firearms and technology, but its organizational capabilities that completely surpass the times. This powerful group, which Zhao Hao has painstakingly built over twenty years, has an ability to harness its own potential that even the best regimes of the era cannot match.
And with the use of radio technology, the group's organizational strength will inevitably go to the next level, which is the key to their victory!
Therefore, in Zhao Shizhen's view, once the two sides start a war, the Jiangnan gentry will not dare to side with the emperor! Because the group will take over the political power at all levels in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, Jiaodong and Liaodong as soon as possible. Then the army landed at Caofeidian, relying on Tangshan City, and advanced directly to the capital. In less than a month, the country will change hands, and the country will be in ruins again!
By then, it will be no longer up to the uncle The eldest nephew estimates that even if he cannot be made a prince, he can still be made a county king, right?
??~~
In short, in the face of this unprecedented change, the various voices within the group can be roughly classified into two categories.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
¡° One type is like Zhao Shizhen, who regards the imperial court as a bastard who sells mobile phones by inserting bids and believes that he can win quickly without much effort.
The current level of ideological confusion in the group is evident. Chaotic thoughts will inevitably lead to organizational disorder, so we must unify our thoughts as soon as possible.
In Zhao Hao's view, the former view is indeed too pessimistic. He was blinded and frightened by the two hundred years of accumulated power of the Zhu family and the imperial court. It is an undoubted fact that the group's military strength crushes the official army, and its economic strength is even greater than that of the imperial court. Otherwise, he would not have hidden flash cap guns and more advanced firearms.
The so-called ¡®limited generational difference theory¡¯ actually means - I look down on you. That's why I hide better weapons without having to pack them at the bottom of the box.
However, the latter kind of ¡®quick victory theory¡¯ is blindly optimistic again. Just like King Wu conquered Zhou, the biggest problem for the group against the Ming Dynasty was never a military issue, but a political and economic issue.
The first is the legitimacy of the war.
As the saying goes, ¡®a teacher must have a reputation¡¯, even rough guys like Lu Tiha know that they have to find an excuse before beating someone. Zhao Hao, who has always regarded himself as a teacher of justice and a teacher of civilization, must be even more cautious before starting the film. At least all officers and soldiers, as well as the people of the 18 administrative regions and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Jiaodong, must firmly believe in the justice of the war. Otherwise, once his faith is shattered, he and the group will pay an unbearable heavy price.
"But Zhao Hao's family has been favored by the emperor for generations. His mother-in-law is the emperor's aunt, his father-in-law is the emperor's teacher, and his biological father is the number one scholar appointed by the late emperor, and he is a second-level bachelor of the first rank. Xishan Group and Jiangnan Group relied on the protection of Emperor Longqing to grow from scratch and from weakness to strength.
¡°It is really an extremely difficult task to stand on the opposite side of the royal family legitimately
In addition, in terms of economy, the group also has a fatal cover!
Jiangnan Group created a miracle in human history. They did not rely on taxes, did not increase the burden on the people at all, and did not affect economic development. They built the most powerful navy in the world; they opened up tens of thousands of miles of overseas territory. ; Continued to carry out large-scale immigration of two million people every year; and carried out efficient and effective management of eighteen administrative districts.
Generally speaking, each of these undertakings can drain the treasury of a large country, allowing the government to collect taxes for decades. But Zhao Hao has no power to collect taxes in Jiaodong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. In overseas administrative regions, the tax is only 1 out of 10, and it is still tax-free for the first three years. At least for now, that little tax is not enough.
In fact, the group¡¯s main sources of funds come from two sources.
The first is its own operating income.
The group occupies a leading position in more than 20 major categories including silk, cotton spinning, glass, cement, construction, porcelain, tobacco, sugar, tea, pharmaceuticals, shipping, trade, iron smelting, mining, finance, chemicals, agriculture, and spices. The dominant position can contribute hundreds of millions of taels of silver profit to the group every year.
¡°Coupled with the continuous issuance of bonds by Jiangnan Bank and the successive spin-off and listing of various companies, it has tried its best to absorb a huge amount of private wealth. Only then can the group be able to cope with the continued surge in expenses and pay dividends every year
But only Zhao Hao and Jiang Xueying know that behind this prosperous situation, there is a fatal crisis - that is, a serious shortage of silver!
In the fifth year of Wanli, the total output value of Jiangnan Group reached 200 million taels of silver.
After ten years of rapid growth, the Group¡¯s GDP in the fifteenth year of Wanli will steadily reach two billion taels of silver!
In the fifth year of Wanli, Daming¡¯s GDP was only one billion taels, including the Jiangnan Group
In the past ten years, under the rule of my father-in-law and the Jiangnan Group, the Ming Dynasty's economy has also been booming. Coupled with the implementation of the One Whip Law across the country, society¡¯s demand for silver is increasing day by day!
Since the seventh year of Wanli, the galleon trade has stopped, and American silver has not flowed into the Ming Dynasty for eight years.
It is said that there should be a serious silver shortage early tomorrow
However, it did not happen. The market always had sufficient currency and economic development was not affected at all.
Why is this?
