From Soldier To Emperor

"Master, all three supplemented new army field corps in the northern defense line can be deployed. The urban defense system there is no longer under war pressure, and only some recruits need to be stationed."

Genevieve replied respectfully.

Over the years, the vast majority of the Ming court's military expenditure has been invested in the recruitment and formation of the Northwest New Army to supplement the consumption of the northern defense line.

The reason why most soldiers of the Northwest New Army go to the front line only have a red turban, a knife or a long spear, a low-cost spear or a simple military crossbow, and a set of mandarin duck tabards, because of the many years of supplementary recruits’ equipment that has to be reduced. ...

As for the iron armor, except for the elite veterans who have gained enough military service after several battles, they are rarely seen in the northern defense line.

After all, the damage rate of armor in the battle is not low, especially when facing the infinite green-skinned orcs!

Even if it is a heavy iron armor, it is difficult to guard against the big guys among the green-skinned orcs. They don't need to break the defense at all. They can smash the fragile human body in the iron shell to death!

Therefore, the northern line of defense has always retained the establishment, and the regular army composed of three new troops nominally composed of veterans has been in a state of vacancy. It is not a vacancy of dozens or hundreds of people, but a vacancy that starts in four digits!

The regular army of a legion is at least ten thousand people!

Therefore, when the regular army of the three legions of the northern defense line was transferred, the frontline officers made a temporary supplement and filled the vacancies of the three legions by veterans and recruits.

Although this will reduce the combat capabilities of the three regular army regiments in a short period of time, after a period of running-in training, you can almost turn recruits into veterans in a few battles.

Now that the Ming Army has no pressure from the northern defense line, the greenskins in the east of the Northwest Region are blocked by the 100,000 Liangzhou Army. These three legions have plenty of time to reorganize and run in.

Instead of being like before, the recruits have to be drawn to the northern defense line to face the ferocious green-skinned orcs after a simple training!

"Very well. After the reorganization of these three legions is over, we will send them to Huizhou and Shanzhou to replace our undead legions to establish new lines of defense."

After hearing that the three regular troops could be pulled out in full, Richard's expression calmed down.

More than 30,000 regular troops who have gone through **** battles are enough to take on the defense work from Huizhou to Shanzhou.

Moreover, they rely on the city to build a line of defense, as well as militias and patrol assistance temporarily formed locally.

The militiamen are recruits in training. Due to the limited financial resources of the Ming court, it is impossible to maintain too many new troops at one time, so the recruits recruited are organized and trained in waves.

When the front-line troops are vacant, the rear will prepare and train corresponding new troops. This keeps the number of active troops within a limited range and can alleviate the financial pressure on the Ming court's military expenditure.

Today, 80% of Ming Ting’s fiscal revenue has been invested in military expenditures, and even bureaucratic salaries have gone from directly issuing gold and silver currency at the beginning to now being spent on bureaucratic posts to maintain the local government.

Shitian is the official land of the local government, but all the output of these official land is used to pay the salaries of the local government bureaucrats. In this era, wages are not only paid, usually with some grains or even native products equivalent.

If the imperial court is in financial difficulties, perhaps all grains will be used as wages...

Obviously, this is what Ming Ting does today!

The most indispensable thing in the Ming court now is land. The land here refers to the well-developed mature land, which is robbed from the landlord squire and the local clansmen who have been ransacked!

As long as someone cultivates, you can get the output immediately!

Since the land equalization and debt exemption system became the Ming court's legal system, private wealth was scattered in the hands of most people and could not be concentrated. The commerce and trade industry became awkward, and economic flow and production almost all depended on government-run enterprises and workshops.

Therefore, land sales are rare among the people. In addition, the Western Regions and Northwestern Regions under the Ming Dynasty ruled by the Ming Dynasty had a sparsely populated area due to years of wars. The government held a large amount of high-quality fertile land. These fertile land could not be sold and could not be smashed in their hands. Here, it naturally becomes a replacement wage for the local government.

In terms of prices alone, the real market price received by local officials who rely on the production of the land is absolutely higher than their salary.

However, there is something wrong with Shitian, and the local government needs to manage it by itself!

The court can help allocate the land. In fact, the farm was transformed from the collective farm. The Ming army conquered all the way. In addition to the stubbornness and the principal offenders, ordinary prisoners of war and landlord, gentry, family servants, etc. They were assigned to collective farms as serfs.

It's on the top of the current local government office!

It was these serfs who ensured that the fertile land looted by the Ming court was not abandoned in large areas. Instead, it became the land of the local government and saved the central court a lot of money.

Because the production of vocational fields is related to the salary of the local officials, they will all participate in the management personally, which saves a batch of expenses for the central government to arrange for the management of special personnel!

Of course ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this system of working as a salaryman has also been criticized by many Ming court officials, but in this troubled world, it is already very good to have officials, and no matter how many complaints are made, many people will not resign. Don't do it...

After the army field, the Ming court used the post field to solve a large amount of financial expenditure. The Ming court can be described as a feudal court completely tied to the land!

Therefore, Richard must keep the land he has obtained. There are a large number of vocational fields and military merit fields for supporting the army on these lands. Once lost, it is equivalent to losing a large amount of silver!

"The three regular army regiments lack cavalry, so let the 5000 Xiliang cavalry stay here to assist them. It is estimated that this place will become the front line soon."

Genevieve heard this with a slightly puzzled expression: "Master, Tang Guo is already unable to attack me, Daming, how could this be the front line?"

"The green skin of Yanyun Land has gone south."

Richard replied indifferently: "Isn't this part of your plan?"

"Master, Tang Guo now has hundreds of thousands of large and small regiments and militias in the territory. They are all armed and young. After the consumption of Yan, the greenskins going south are estimated to be even 500,000 green-skinned orcs. If they didn't get it together, although the number of green-skinned goblins and farts was as many as several million, they couldn't even beat an adult farmer in a heads-up. It shouldn't be enough to defeat Tang Guo.

When I made the plan, I didn't expect Tang Guo to break out such a powerful war potential.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been organized in such a short period of time. The power of the landlords, squires and cliques in this world is far beyond my imagination..."

After hearing this, Richard couldn't help but complain in his heart: I didn't expect Juntian forgiveness to be so hated...
