The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 116 Official System Determination
Zhu Hongyu took out some of them and distributed them to the soldiers of the recovery army to inspire the soldiers.

A large amount was also distributed to the families of the soldiers of the Liberation Army who died in battle and were treated as pensions for those who died in battle or were disabled.

Then, use these fields as the supreme weapon to attract young Chinese to serve as soldiers!
Due to the influence of the ideological concept of emphasizing literature over military since the Song Dynasty, the Chinese are not too cold about serving as soldiers.

The saying that a good man does not serve as a soldier and a good iron does not twist nails is not just talk!

It is not an easy task for young Chinese to give up their traditional ideas and become soldiers without enough temptation of interests.

However, given the Chinese people's nostalgia for the land, Zhu Hongyu did not believe that he could not recruit enough soldiers by using the land as a bargaining chip.

Zhu Hongyu's method can be said to be simple and crude, but it is absolutely effective!
As soon as the news of Zhu Hongyu joining the army and dividing the land was released, the recruiting point of the Guangfu Army was crowded with people.

Although these Chinese look down on soldiers, no one can refuse the temptation of land!

Even the land of Luzon!
……

The ruling core of the Liberation Army has also begun to relocate!
The camps in the mountains are still preserved, and even some people are left to guard them.

However, with the relocation of important units such as weapon workshops and schools, the importance of the camps in the valley has also fallen precipitously.

Zhu Hongyu ordered someone to send a letter to the Iglot people in the mountains, inviting them to settle on the plain, and expressing his willingness to divide the land for them to govern themselves.

The Crocodile Tribe and other Iglot people rejected Zhu Hongyu's proposal because they were used to living in the mountains.

Maybe I also feel that it is not safe to settle in the plains!

However, as the results of the Restoration Army's outing of the mountains spread, the scale of transactions between the Iglots and the Restoration Army continued to expand.

Even some isolated indigenous tribes in the mountains brought goods to exchange iron and iron materials with the recovery army.

Everything is going in a good direction.

The number of recruits in the recruit battalion of the Restoration Army is increasing, and the combat effectiveness of the Restoration Army is also steadily improving.

Moreover, as the Restoration Army gained a firm foothold in the plains, some Chinese gradually left under the Spanish rule and settled under the Restoration Army.

The fundamental reason is that the Liberation Army is the regime of the Chinese themselves, representing the interests of the Chinese themselves.

Under the Spanish rule, the Chinese would be oppressed by the Spaniards, and their status was even inferior to that of the natives.

Moreover, the Governor's Mansion also specifically targeted the Chinese and levied heavy taxes in an attempt to force the Chinese not to worship their ancestors and to believe in God instead.

Who can bear this grievance?

Not only that, but the Chinese have to worry all the time, when the Spaniards will slaughter the Chinese again, and the red-haired butcher's knife cuts on their heads.

Given the choice, who would want to stay under the Spaniards?

But on the side of the Liberation Army, Zhu Hongyu really regarded every Chinese population as a baby bump.

Even if you are penniless, have nothing, and come to the Liberation Army with bare buttocks, Zhu Hongyu will not starve to death.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable what choice the Chinese will make.

Things like this keep happening, and the population and supplies that can be controlled by the Liberation Army are also increasing.

Although Zhu Hongyu was extremely tired during this time, his heart was quite happy.

……

On January 1661, 22 in the Western calendar, the family members of the Restoration Army moved out of the mountains and came to Lingayen.

Zhu Hongyu greeted him personally, his eyes were piercing, and he saw the girl in the crowd at a glance.

Li Lingxiu also looked at him without blinking!
The eyes of the two met, and then they turned away quickly. The girl's face turned red from Zhu Hongyu's fiery eyes.

Zhu Hongyu grinned, but he didn't look for his sweetheart right now, but suddenly, the expression on his face became stiff.

He saw Kaya standing next to Li Lingxiu!
Zhu Hongyu and Kaya looked at each other, but Kaya didn't look away as shyly as Li Lingxiu did, but looked at Zhu Hongyu without showing timidity.

His eyes were full of wildness, and he grinned at Zhu Hongyu, revealing two cute little canine teeth.

Zhu Hongyu was slightly surprised, why did Kaya get mixed up with the family members of the Liberation Army?

But he didn't take it seriously, instead, he turned around and went to make arrangements for the placement of his family members.

Together with these family members, there is also the weapon workshop of the Restoration Army.

In order not to affect the output of the weapons workshop due to the relocation, Zhu Hongyu adopted the method of moving in batches.

Shanwai started to build a new workshop, and after building a part of the factory buildings, the corresponding workers were relocated.

Others don't move for a while!
Although relocation is an urgent matter, weapons production cannot be stopped.

As the Liberation Army continues to recruit new recruits, the gap in weapons is also getting bigger and bigger.

Firearms and artillery are easy to say, a lot of them were seized from the Spaniards, and they are enough for the time being.

However, the gaps in fragmentary weapons and equipment such as plate armor, bayonets, and shields are getting bigger and bigger.

The production of weapons really cannot be stopped for a moment!
That night, Zhu Hongyu was scribbling behind the desk in his room, planning the issue of the bureaucracy of the Liberation Army.

The Restoration Army is no longer the insurgent army that is huddled in the mountains, with little territory and few troops.

With the glorious victory in the out-of-the-mountain battle, there are now more than [-] civilians and nearly [-] soldiers under the Guangfu Army, although half of them are untrained recruits.

The site is not too small!
Without a reasonable official system like before, it will be difficult for the system of the Liberation Army to continue to operate.

Zhu Hongyu can't handle so many things alone, he needs someone to help him share some government affairs.

Zhu Hongyu wrote, "The Statutes of the Restoration Army Military Government Official System".

According to Zhu Hongyu's vision, based on the principle of dividing civil and military affairs, the Guangfu Army's military government should be divided into two parts: the Internal Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department.

The Department of Internal Affairs has jurisdiction over: household registration, taxation, construction, education, diplomacy, justice, industry, commerce, agricultural publicity, development planning and other departments.

The Household Registration Section is responsible for checking the population, acres of fields, and determining the household registration.

The Tax Section is responsible for determining the implementation of tax collection.

The construction department is responsible for construction matters, including roads, houses, bridges, bastions, weapon workshops, etc. All construction-related matters are coordinated and dispatched by the construction department.

The Education Department is responsible for educational matters. The establishment of schools, examinations, and even future imperial examinations will be in charge of the Education Department.

The Department of Foreign Affairs is responsible for foreign exchanges, etc. That is to say, the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites of the six ministries of the three provinces were divided into two departments of education and diplomacy.

The judicial department is responsible for judicial affairs, the industrial department is responsible for coordinating industrial development, and the commercial department is responsible for promoting commercial development.

The Propaganda Section is doing propaganda, including promoting the policies of the Liberation Army and the military government, and promoting the greatness of Zhu Hongyu, a leader who will be used as the mouthpiece of the court in the future to compete with Shilin for the right to speak.

The development plan is also well understood. He is responsible for coordinating the development plan and implementing the development tasks assigned by Zhu Hongyu.

Take out a Civil Services Department responsible for assessing the merits and demerits of officials and determining their promotion and dismissal.
