Ever since he asked Cheng Hongbin to find Lin Ziran, the contemporary Duke Meng has been waiting for the follow-up, but he has been waiting and waiting, but he has not been able to get a reply from the state government.
At the same time, he also discovered that none of the old nobles who came to him before stopped going to him, and all of them were still raising funds. Many of them were still recruiting family members to defect to Lin Ziran.
Account effectiveness.
Even the Cheng Hongbin he was looking for before was no longer here. When he inquired about it, he found that Cheng Hongbin had already enrolled directly in the Luohai branch of the Nanhai Military Academy together with some of the children of the old aristocracy.
After moving into Luohai County, Nanhai Navy also took over the largest military academy in Nanhai Prefecture, namely Luohai Military Academy, and established it as the Luohai branch of Luoan Military Academy.
At the same time, a senior commander refresher course has been set up on the basis of the school, which mainly selects promising talents from active grassroots officers in the army for refresher training, aiming to cultivate senior officers.
When Cheng Hongbin came to Lin Ziran for the first time, he had already expressed his willingness to surrender. Although Lin Ziran could not directly use him, he did not refuse. Instead, he let him go to the military academy like the children of the old aristocrats.
.
Well, no matter what the situation is, send it in for brainwashing and then use it. If the washing is successful, use it. If the washing is not successful, just use it.
Although the contemporary Duke Meng is a bit prodigal, it does not mean that he is stupid. He quickly woke up and those guys bypassed him and directly negotiated with the state magistrate's office.
what to do?
What else could he do? He shamelessly approached the old nobles and brought up the matter again.
This twist and turn reached Lin Ziran's ears again.
After knowing this, Lin Ziran thought that since everything was like this, he would just meet him. Anyway, there are not many other messy things now.
If you like her, if she's suitable for you, marry her; if she's not suitable, find someone else.
Well, after all, I am the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands, and I am in my twenties. It would be unreasonable to remain single all the time.
Immediately, Lin Ziran sent an invitation to Mengshi, inviting them to attend the dinner five days later.
This dinner was hosted by Lin Ziran and invited people from all walks of life in Luohai City. The purpose was not to raise funds, but to show the outside world that the state government supported the development of industry and commerce, and to contribute to the subsequent people's livelihood economy.
Lay the foundation for recovery.
Although the war is still going on at this time, if no major accidents occur, the reunification of Nanhai State is already a certainty.
The Southern Navy had already gone north to annihilate the 150,000-strong army of the Second Army of Quyang Prefecture, and then moved westward to annihilate the 100,000-strong army of Ningyu Prefecture, clearing away the two most threatening directions one by one.
Moreover, the two counterattacks that went north and west did not simply defeat the enemy, but almost completely surrounded and annihilated the incoming enemy. For a long period of time, whether it was Quyang Prefecture in the north or Quyang Prefecture in the west,
Ning Yuzhou, it is difficult for them to pose any actual threat to the South Navy.
As for the eastern front, it has already been defended. If more troops are added in the future, there will be no problem in holding the Hetai Highland defense line.
As for Zhongluo Prefecture on the northwest line, according to reports from the frontline troops, the soldiers and horses in Zhongluo Prefecture had no courage to continue southward after learning that the entire Quyang Prefecture Second Army Corps was destroyed, and had already withdrawn directly from Hexi County.
The four major external threats can no longer threaten the South China Sea Navy and prevent the South China Sea Navy from reunifying Nanhai State.
The troops advancing westward have already taken control of Qingyuan County, while Qiuhua County in the northwest and Ningmei County in the northeast are unable to resist the unified pace of the Southern Navy. The reason why they have not launched a military attack now is purely because both sides
Practical negotiations have begun.
If nothing else happens, these two counties will voluntarily give up resistance and accept peaceful reunification.
The reunification of the nine counties in Nanhai Prefecture is a certainty.
Under such circumstances, Lin Ziran naturally needs to consider people's livelihood and economic issues.
In the military plan of the Southern Navy, after the war on the Western Front is over, the Southern Navy will appropriately allocate part of its troops to the Hetai Highlands on the Eastern Front, the Northern Front, the Western Front and other places.
At the same time, the main troops were accumulated in Luo'an County, Luohai County and other places.
There will be a rest and reorganization period of at least three months.
Using this time, the South Korean Navy will conduct a military-wide reorganization of its troops.
After the reorganization, the size of the Southern Navy will not actually increase much. At that time, the Southern Navy will maintain the size of 13 infantry divisions, 10 cavalry divisions, 10 heavy artillery regiments, and 1 garrison division, including some idle troops and
The total strength of each command structure is expected to reach 300,000.
This total number of troops has not increased much compared to now. Now the actual size of the various departments of the South Navy, including the newly reorganized troops of the surrendering troops and some of the temporarily newly established independent troops, is already nearly 290,000.
The subsequent reorganization did not mention the formation of additional training brigades, but was purely a reorganization of existing troops.
The reason why no more troops will be added is because the 300,000 field troops are already the limit of Nanhai Prefecture's current financial situation that can maintain its troops.
In fact, if it were a vassal town, with Nanhaizhou's economic strength and population size, 300,000 troops would be small, and some ruthless characters could even produce 500,000 or more troops.
But the Southern Navy is different. The Southern Navy spends more than the troops of other vassals. This is mainly concentrated on the new breech-loading rifled weapons.
Whether it is a breech-loading rifle or a breech-loading artillery gun, the price is far higher than the price of old smooth-bore weapons, which leads to an increase in the cost of purchasing new weapons.
At the same time, what is more important is the consumption of ammunition.
Not only does it consume more quantity, but the unit price of the ammunition consumed is also more expensive.
These all restrict the strength of the Southern Navy from increasing uncontrollably like other vassal towns.
Of course, it is not that the South China Sea Navy did not take some auxiliary measures.
The above-mentioned 300,000 troops are all regular army troops.
In addition to the regular army troops, the South Korean Navy will also expand the garrison division to five divisions. The strength of this garrison division is less than five or six thousand, but more than seven or eight thousand. This is to further reduce personnel salary costs and retain only the backbone.
There are also a small number of full-time soldiers. If the war requires them to be mobilized to the battlefield, they will directly supplement the mobilized soldiers.
Due to cost constraints, the weapons they use are mainly stock weapons. The rifles are mainly 18mm caliber Nanhai rifles, and the artillery is mainly smoothbore cannons. These weapons and even ammunition are all stock weapons and ammunition, so there is no need to spend extra money.
As for the other force in the South China Sea, that is, the engineering force, there are more, but these are engineering forces that are just in the name of the army to facilitate management. In fact, they are already unarmed forces, mainly engaged in infrastructure construction.
Lord, to put it bluntly, they are engineering teams...
The main force of the South Korean Navy is estimated to be 300,000 people. It will not be easy to organize these 300,000 people, especially in terms of weapons.
You must know that many of the newly reorganized units of the South China Sea Navy can only temporarily use Fuyuan rifles and a small amount of breech-loaded artillery for training. In the next few months, the South China Sea Navy will conduct a comprehensive reequipment of these units.
According to the Southern Navy's reorganization plan, after the war on the Western Front ends, the Southern Navy will not make any major moves in the next three months.
Now that the military operation has come to an end, Lin Ziran can be freed up to rectify Nanhai Prefecture's government affairs system and people's livelihood and economic affairs.
The rectification of the government affairs system is an internal matter, and Lin Ziran has already begun to formulate a more reasonable institutional model that is more in line with the actual situation of Nanhai Prefecture.
As for people's livelihood and economic affairs, this cannot be handled by the state government alone. Lin Ziran must also bring together people from all walks of life such as the industrial and commercial circles in Nanhai Prefecture to handle it.
The dinner party five days later is held just for this!
