Chapter 902: Shoucheng

The territory we have built is getting bigger and bigger, and how to maintain success has become a realistic problem.

The northern border is vast and sparsely populated. In history, the Tang Empire once had such a territory. In the Western Regions, the Tang people never really controlled the Western Regions. They only set up the so-called Anxi Protectorate and the so-called Protectorate in the Western Regions.

It is a larger police station, and even the garrison is not an elite standing army. What can only be used to just a few troops?

Why has the territory of the Central Plains dynasty become smaller and smaller since the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Western Regions and the northern borders were occupied by others, and the Ming Dynasty, which had the strongest national strength, could not be brought back. The reason is that the country is strong, the people are weak, and the army is fighting

What's the point of winning? When the army comes, they will run away. When the army leaves, they will come back. The unarmed Ming people cannot defeat the people.

Hundreds of thousands of troops could not be stationed in the Western Regions for a long time, and the territory was occupied by the people after all. The people of the Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Mongolians, the Hui people, and even the savages who ate raw meat and drank blood in the southwest could not defeat the territory.

It is natural to be eroded every day and slaughtered.

Ma Cheng learned from his mistakes and completely abandoned the Central Plains dynasty's weak people's policy, banning armor and soldiers, and banning crossbows and bows. But this is not enough, and it is not enough that the civilian model of hand guns and short guns can be used to make immigrants

The people of the Ming Dynasty in the northern border had weapons legally. Macheng thought that this would not be the case. In a few decades, Siberia would have to be lost.

The 220,000 army could not be stationed in Siberia for a long time. The huge supply pressure could crush the entire Ming Dynasty's finances. In the future, the world will be pacified, the horse will be released in the south mountain, and the army will be withdrawn from Liaodong. How can the weak Ming people in the north of the Ming Dynasty resist?

How could the fierce Cossacks rule the barbaric indigenous slaves be killed in a few years?

In the northern border, the people outside the pass have legal weapons. This is inevitable. The territory that was finally sold out cannot be given up. Lu Xiangsheng and others designed this administrative system in the northern border border. It is a colonial system with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty and is unique.

As an example, three large cities are planned to be built, one east, one south, and one north, and the three big cities are mutually supporting each other.

With three strong cities as the center, the city is connected by roads, and there are markets on both sides of the road, and there are large farms and pastures around the market. Each city has a large city garrison ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 troops.

Each market has its own troops, and a grain station is set up for each hundred miles to garrison, collect taxes, and support the transfer of grain and grass. The chief official is a seventh-rank civil servant.

The Grain Taiwan Officials are under the jurisdiction of the Grain Taiwan Officials, and one grain chief is held every twenty miles, and the Grain Chief is held by a large farmer and a rancher, without a grade. The position of this Grain Chief is a product of the Ming Dynasty characteristics, half-official and half-people,

Most of them were local gentry and celebrities. Unlike the grain chiefs in the Daming Pass, when they were in the northern part of the Seitou area, they were responsible for training militias, arresting illegally, and leading troops to fight in emergencies.

This original position of grain chief in northern Seyat actually combines local grain chiefs with local inspection powers, and the power in their hands has been greatly increased. Grain chiefs are usually responsible for collecting taxes and grain, and are responsible for assisting local garrisons in slack farming.

During the war, he led militias to help with the war. This was not something Lu Xiangsheng thought about. During the Ming Dynasty and even the Song Dynasty, there were a large number of bow and archery clubs among the people, and the Ming Dynasty also had militia troops.

The northern system of the Seyitan state only put the Ming Dynasty's perfunctory militia system to the surface, and practiced the Saibei militia as a regular army. The regulations compiled by the Grand Governor's Office practiced once a month during busy farming and concentrated on two to three during slack farming.

During the intensive training period, every adult man in the Ming Dynasty must line up to fire guns at least one hundred times, and he is required to be pulled onto the battlefield to fight.

In the northern part of the border, all the people are soldiers. Whether they can defend them in the future depends on these border residents.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, at the end of May.

The frozen soil thawed and the ground became muddy. The people in the north planted the first season of crops on the lake and the river, and began their first military training in their lives, which was three months. Teams of military households went out to make a living.

The tenants settled down and were trembling with fear. After the soldiers scolded each other, they trained and touched the cold musket for the first time in their lives. The Ming soldiers in charge of militia were extremely rough and stuffed an old hand gun into the two trembling.

In the hands full of calluses, everyone in the Ming Dynasty was good at playing hoes. It was the first time that the gun was played with. It was very awkward. On the first day, several incidents of fire and injury occurred.

Ma Cheng came forward to appease the two injured border residents who were accidentally injured. When he returned to the camp, he could still accept it.

This Ming Dynasty's northern border would not at least cause chaos when the development of the western United States was launched, and it would shoot at each other. The Ming Dynasty's Northwest Development was still orderly, which was related to the personality of the Ming people.

It is related to the social order of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom. The people of the Ming Dynasty were much more lawless than those lawless white people. This is colonialism with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

Hanhai City, on the spacious streets.

A team of carriages slowly stopped in front of the Fuchang Business Gate. After a long time, the guards were busy for a while and unloaded all kinds of goods from the carriage. The thick windshield curtain of the carriage was opened, and two people were fat and thin.

The young master jumped out of the car, held the folding fan in his hand and looked around.

The fat young master held the folding fan and smiled and said, "Brother Mi, how about this Hanhai City?"

The thin young master patted the folding fan on his palm and said with his neck: "Brother Dingsheng, don't be impatient. You have to see it with your own eyes before you know what the stole martial artist did."

The fat brother Dingsheng was startled and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Brother Mi is careful when speaking. If you are so unrestrained, you will be expelled."

The thin young man bowed proudly, but he was tactful and shut up without saying anything. This person is Fang Yizhi, one of the four young masters of Fushe, whose courtesy name is Mizhi. This brother, who was in Jiangnan, went to the military intelligence department for the blackmail.

The list is that his career is slim and he travels thousands of miles to the north, but I don’t know what he thought.

Inner house, a tall Western-style bedroom.

The weather was still a little cold sooner or later, and a fire broke out in the bedroom. Young Master Fang held a folding fan and entered the long corridor. The servants passed by bowed one after another. Several shopkeepers and young master looked over and seemed to see a fool. This year, the next day,

There are not many scholars dressed up in such a weak manner. But the prescription is that they have a stubborn temper. The more others see him as a fool, the more they want to be independent. They even open the folding fan and fan themselves, shaking their heads and doing politeness.

shape.

A Mongolian female slave passed by with a basin of hot water. When she raised her eyelids, she saw the romantic young master. She looked stunned and froze. Fang Yizhi also felt her face hot, and she shook her folding fan and entered the room carelessly.
