Chapter 144 War Dividend

However, with the development of the colonies, foreign wars began to obtain a large number of war dividends, as well as the income from the sale of land and slave sales, so that officials and even the people of China and North Korea can see the benefits from these foreign wars.

People, profit-seeking is one of the basic human nature. In the past, Yu Xiaotian tried their best to launch foreign wars. They thought it was harmful to the Dazhong Dynasty, but now through these wars, they find that things do not seem to be what they think. Through the means of war, Dazhong Dynasty not only does not lose money, but also can get a lot of war dividends. In the war alone, it brought back at least tens of millions of silver for the Great China and North Korea, and also occupied those silver mines in Japan.

The colonial land buying business and slave business have also brought huge income to the Greater China and North Korea. They have squeezed out many idle private funds and received them from the Greater China and North Korea. This money is too easy to earn. As long as they win the battle, they can get rich. The Greater China and North Korea can raise more soldiers, build more warships, and launch more More wars, seize more colonies, and continue to make greater fortunes.

What's more, the colony can continue to feed the Greater China and North Korea, transporting all kinds of raw materials back to China. After the land is sold, it will be opened up. The Greater China and North Korea can also collect taxes in the colonies and give back to the mainland, so that the mainland can be richer.

This makes the officials of the Greater China and North Koreans completely change their previous concept and no longer think that launching a war with the outside world is a business that makes people lose money. As long as they win this kind of war, they can get a large amount of war dividends and make a lot of money, which makes the officials of Greater China and North Korea have external expansion and development. The driving force of war.

And merchants also made considerable profits from the war. After all, every time they launched a war, the imperial court had to purchase a large number of military supplies and also had to purchase many weapons and ships. In addition, after occupying the colony, as the most sensitive merchants, they often landed in the new colonies in the first place, with a large number of circles. Occupying land, no matter whether it is mining or what to do in the future, is a profitable business.

Business people naturally also hope to see the imperial court continue to launch wars, so that they can gain greater benefits. In this way, both officials and civilians have begun to support the launch of war, which further promotes the speed and pace of China and North Korea's foreign expansion.

This is the most critical thing. In the past, most of the Han people had been in the farming economy and did not have enough impetus for external expansion. Therefore, the Han court was mostly in a stable or incomplete attitude and rarely took the initiative to launch wars of aggression against the outside world, so they were repeatedly invaded by nomads.

But now it's different. Through continuous wars, these officials and people of China and North Korea have benefited from it. The salaries of officials have been rising. Of course, they are happy. The lives of the people are getting better and better, and of course they are happy. Businessmen are making full of money, and even higher. I'm excited.

Therefore, this has caused a earth-shaking change in the lack of momentum of foreign expansion by the Han people. The whole country and others hope that the court can launch more foreign wars, occupy more colonies, and seize more territorial colonies, which can make the Greater China and North Korea richer.

This momentum drives the expansion of military operations, and the navy and army began to expand again six years later.

Taking advantage of the dividends brought by various wars, Yu Xiaotian was finally able to expand the navy and army, so a group of young people were recruited into the army. The naval school and the army martial arts hall also continued to expand, adding new schools in various places to train more naval and army officers.

At this time, the navy and army of Greater China and North Korea have formed their own culture and traditions, becoming positive and belligerent. The treatment of soldiers is getting better and better, and their status has been greatly improved, making the army more aggressive and beastly and more barbaric.

This is a good thing for Yu Xiaotian. He has always said that soldiers must be wolf-like and have strong discipline. While obeying orders, they can't erase their wildness. They must be able to obey their consciousness and maintain enough wildness and aggressiveness. This is the real soldier. Peace will not turn the army into a strong army. It can only erase their combat effectiveness and turn it into a group of sheep in military uniform.

If you want the army to have enough combat effectiveness, the tradition is one thing, and the most important thing is to let them constantly learn to evolve and temper in the war, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

With the complete end of the Seven Years of the Battle of Japan, the scale of Dazhong's navy has also expanded to an unprecedented level.

Newly built large warships began to be incorporated into the naval sequence, including the latest flying shear ships. In the seventh year of Chengtian, they also began to be built in major state-owned shipyards and even some private shipyards across the country. China and North Korea have enough rich money bags to be invested in naval construction, one after another. Stop the dumplings and put the new boat into the water.

The warships themselves in this era are not very different from merchant ships. They can be used as battleships and cargoes when necessary, which makes the navy's ability to deliver to the outside world stronger and stronger.

According to statistics, the number of warships, transport ships, supply ships and other ships owned by large and medium-sized naval fleets, including small ships with small tonnage, and medium and large warships with more than 500 tons alone have exceeded a thousand.

Among them, there are more than 400 warships with a thousand-ton level, excluding those large-tonn transport ships, supply ships, slave carriers and other ships. This looks at the whole world, and there are no countries that can match the strength of the navy of China and North Korea.

The navy's strength has also expanded from less than 100,000 at the beginning to more than 300,000, with various artillery, more than 10,000.

As for the army, it turned out that there were only 300,000 armies in large and medium-sized armies. By the seventh year of Chengtian, the size of the army was expanded to more than 500,000, and more than 20 integrated combat divisions were organized into several major military regions.

Among them, the Fuguang Military Region is responsible for the southeast, which is mainly responsible for the strategy and guarding the direction of the South Sea. Among them, the garrison of Luzon Province, which is temporarily in a colonial position, is also under the Fuguang Military Region.

In the north, a northern military region was established, including Mongolia, Liaoning and Jilin provinces. It was mainly responsible for the strategy of the north, deterred Mongolia and the customs, and by the control of the North-Xian Kingdom. At this time, although the North-Xian king still existed in the name, he had been ordered to abolish the North Korea-Xian army and only given to the North Korea-Xian King Xian left 500 guards and did not allow Chao Xian to continue to have his own army.

The reason is very simple. Yu Xiaotian said that there is no need to have an army as it is now. With the suzerain country of Dazhong, it is a waste for them to have an army. In the future, just hand over the affairs of the Dazhong army.

As for many government officials in North Korea, they have also been cancelled and handed over to the management of officials sent by the Great China Dynasty. Even the power to collect taxes has been handed over to the officials of the Great China and North Korea, not to mention foreign diplomacy and other matters.

The North-Xian king refused to agree to this, so Yu Xiaotian immediately sent a group of troops stationed in Liaoning, entered the North-Xian, forcibly disbanded the North-Xian army, and directly settled in the North-Xian capital, which is known as providing protection to the North-Xian king.

In this way, the North-Xian country will exist in name only, and the king will be completely empty, but it will continue to be retained in name. Every year, he will allocate some living needs to the royal family to make him live a comfortable life.

Some officials of Chaoxian refused to agree and privately sought the armed restoration of the country, but in front of the Dazhong army, their resistance was simply a joke. After several battles, these dishonest Chao Xian were subdued. They were arrested and killed all over the door. Anyone who jumped out and killed his whole family.

The future is estimated to be very soon. North Korea should calm down, and there is a precedent of Japan in front of North Korea. If you don't want to destroy the country, then be honest and listen to the management of the Great China Dynasty!

In the Gyeonggi region, a garrison military region was established, including Beizhili, Xuanda, Shanxi and Shandong provinces, responsible for the defense of the entire Gyeonggi region. At the same time, Donghai Province is also under the control of the garrison military region.

Set up the Nanjing Military Region in the central and eastern regions to control the four provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and be responsible for the stability of the local ground.

The Chengdu Military Region was formed in the southwest, which is responsible for the defense of the three provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou in Sichuan.

The Central Plains Military Region was established in the central region, which is responsible for the defense of Hunan and Guangzhou provinces.

The Western Military Region was established in the west, which is responsible for Shaanxi military affairs. In the future, the Western Military Region will lead the expansion of the western territory. In the future, it will integrate Tufan and Yili into the large and medium-sized territories, and continue to expand towards Central Asia.

On the whole, among the major military regions, the southeast, southwest and northern military regions have the strongest force and the largest number of troops. These places have many local conflicts and are located in the border areas. They have the responsibility to continue to expand, so they also tilt them in terms of strength and weapons and equipment.

The number of Army artillery has also reached thousands, with more than 300,000 rifles and more than 200,000 pistols, which is almost completely firearmized.

Combat effectiveness, needless to say, the Japanese and Spaniards have the deepest experience, and I'm afraid that Vietnamese people have a deep understanding.

In the spring of the seventh year of Chengtian, under the instructions of Xiaotian, the cabinet made the decision of the Southern Expedition. The South China Sea Fleet and the Fuguang Military Region jointly launched a war against the Lebanese Empire in Vietnam. Needless to say, this was originally the territory of the Central Plains regime. At the earliest in the Han Dynasty, it was Jiaozhi County. Of course, they cannot be allowed to continue to divide. It's cracked!

In front of the powerful offensive of the Dazhong Army, the army of the Li Dynasty could not last long enough for half a year and was completely destroyed. Then Vietnam was once again changed to Jiaozhi Province. The temporary status was also a colonial status, and the governor of Jiaozhi was assigned to manage it.

At the end of seven years, a major event happened in a mechanical factory in Germany. A primitive steam engine that could generate power by boiling water was finally successfully tested and slowly operated under the drive of steam.

Emperor Yu Xiaotian personally went to the scene to watch the ignition and trial operation of the steam engine. Although this steam engine is only a very primitive steam engine, the structure is very simple and does not generate much driving force. The horsepower is very small, and the safety is also questionable, but after all, this is the first real meaning in the world. The semi-practical steam engine is also the first original motivation for manual operation, which is of great significance and self-evident.

Yu Xiaotian was so excited that he couldn't wait to hold this stupid, black and thick steam engine and kiss it. He almost burst into tears. If it hadn't been for the persuasion of the eldest prince Yu Zhenhua, he would have really shed tears.

For this day, he didn't know how many sleepless nights he spent, took many technicians day and night experiments, constantly developing some processing machinery, and constantly manufacturing various models and drawing various drawings.

Now it has finally paid off. Looking at this clumsy and simple steam engine, Yu Xiaotian was very excited and announced loudly to the people present that the Great China would officially enter a mechanical era.

(Happy Lantern Festival to my brothers and sisters!)
