The three southern provinces are the most economically developed areas in the entire Daqian Empire, and the population here is also extremely dense. If you want to recruit troops locally, it is indeed a good place.
"You have a big appetite, boy. You will soon expand three infantry divisions in the three southern provinces."
Gao Shaoyi just looked at it briefly and was immediately frightened by Wang Laoer's appetite. He had known for a long time that this guy was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he didn't expect that this guy could move so fast. Three infantry divisions were ten Tens of thousands of horses.
"Your Majesty, my pace is not fast anymore. The guy next to me is more powerful than me. To form the Fourth Marine Division, Luo Yuzhang's guys are even more powerful. If his security team is established according to his structure, it will be even more powerful than mine." My regular army is more than twice as large."
Wang Laoer immediately began to complain. Now that the battle has been won, everyone is expanding their own armies. Compared with before, the pace of expanding three infantry divisions here is indeed a bit larger, but if it is compared with the past, Compared with Wang Baichuan and Luo Yuzhang, our pace is already very conservative.
After listening to Wang Laoer's words, Gao Shaoyi opened the expansion plan of the Marine Corps next to him. The sea area of the three southern provinces is indeed very long, but there are only a few cities, and there is no need for so many Marines. This guy opened his mouth and it was... division.
As for Luo Yuzhang, Gao Shaoyi had explained earlier that every county must have a security group, every town must have a security squadron, and every village must have a security group, so he has the largest number of people. Yes, but the scattered ones are also the most scattered ones.
"Actually, although the three southern provinces are not large in area, they have a large population. In the past, although I was able to suppress them, it could not be said to be absolute control. If I want absolute control, I think what General Wang said It must be considered.”
Zhang Dashuai thought for a while. He was the previous head of the three southern provinces. Naturally, he knew the specific situation of the three southern provinces. Although Zhang Dashuai was called the King of Nantian, there were too many separatist forces in the territory. Although now They all expressed their surrender to Gao Shaoyi, but this was not what Gao Shaoyi wanted.
What Gao Shaoyi wants is absolute control, not that I will ignore you if you express your surrender. It must be my order, which can be unimpeded on the ground in the three southern provinces. Even if some people are angry, then we have to think I have to replace you.
Of course, this matter needs to be done later. Before our troops were stationed in every corner of the three southern provinces, Gao Shaoyi would not do such a thing. It would easily trigger mutinies in various places, which would not be of any benefit to the people everywhere. .
"Master Zhang is right. This is the information we have obtained recently. The three southern provinces have a total of 37 prefectures and 275 counties. There are some people in various places who are not economical. If you want to pull them all Once we get to the main road, apart from our rifles and cannons, I can't think of any way to make it faster."
Wang Laoer has indeed worked hard, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a thick book of information. It contains some information about chief executives from various places. Some people have been circled in red pen. These people must be Retired and returned home.
Of course, if you are conscious of yourself, we will forget the blame, but if you are unconscious of it, then we have to start investigating your past affairs. In the end, let alone retiring and returning home, I am afraid that your own head will be damaged.
Can't keep it.
"You can start preparing for the training camp tomorrow. Your expansion plan has been approved."
About twenty minutes later, Gao Shaoyi read Wang Laoer's plan and signed his name on it. The military expenditure of nearly three million silver coins was approved. Of course, this was only the first batch. All weapons
The equipment is all existing. If all of them were to be purchased, three million silver coins would probably not be enough.
"Your Majesty..."
After Wang Laoer's matter was resolved, this guy immediately leaned back. Next was Wang Baichuan's matter. The navy was different from the army. The pace of the navy had always been relatively small before, mainly because of the navy's personnel selection.
It seems troublesome, but this time the Marine Corps is established, so the pace is a bit bigger, and a Marine Corps division-level unit will be established at once.
"There is no problem with your plan, but the reorganization of the naval fleet must also begin. In addition to the existing naval fleet, your naval fleet will be doubled within the next year. You must establish a South
The personnel from the Eastern Province Naval Academy, the Naval Academy, and Daliao Port in the north will no longer provide support to you, so you have to start everything from scratch."
Gao Shaoyi signed his own name on Wang Baichuan's plan without even looking at it. The Marine Corps plays an important role at critical times. The number of Marine Corps is not large now, but it will definitely be enough after expansion.
"Let's choose Zhu Tianyou as the teacher commander."
Gao Shaoyi suddenly remembered that very talented young man. Although this boy did not have a chance to show his face in this battle, after observing his talents for such a long time, Gao Shaoyi was basically sure that he should be a
The teacher is definitely more than enough.
"I think so too."
After Wang Baichuan finished speaking, he turned to the third to last page of the plan. As expected, the recommended candidate above was Zhu Tianyou. It seemed that everyone knew who was capable internally.
Things here have almost been discussed, and everyone is preparing to go to the cafeteria to eat together. Who knows that a combat staff officer from outside rushed in and received a telegram from the capital.
Something happened to the palace?
Beijing.
After the common people woke up, they immediately felt the tension in the air. To be honest, the war in the south was won. Although the common people in the capital did not see so many warships, they were indeed happy in their hearts. After all, these were two warships.
It was the first naval victory in a century, and it was a complete victory. Not only did it defeat the opponent, but it also captured all the remaining warships. This is something that everyone should be happy about.
But some people may not think so. For example, people in the imperial court are ready to find trouble.
The reason for the matter is very simple. When Princess Wenqing and her sister Gao Shaoqing went out for an outing in the city, a prostitute came forward to provoke them. Naturally, the accompanying Suppression Army would not tolerate such a thing. A conflict...
