The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 285: Stable as Mount Tai
The Naval Academy is the source of the Daming Navy, and the deputy chief teacher is the second in command of the academy, that is to say, almost the entire Daming Navy will come from Zheng Chenggong's sect in the future.

Of course, the position of the chief teacher of the school must be held by Zhu Linming.

Zheng Chenggong saluted solemnly again, "This subordinate must die to repay His Highness' trust!"

Zhu Linming continued: "By the way, Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan will be transferred to the navy as your lieutenants later. These two will definitely be your great help."

Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan?Zheng Chenggong was a little surprised. The performance of these two men in the Dragon Guards was indeed remarkable, but they had never heard of them having experience in naval warfare, especially Liu Guoxuan, who should not have been a weak champion yet.

But he knew that His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince had never made a mistake in his judgment, so he nodded and said, "This subordinate obeys the order."

Looking at the back of Zheng Chenggong leaving, Zhu Linming couldn't help feeling proud.In history, Zheng Chenggong, who led the fleet to defeat the Dutch and recover Taiwan, together with "Sea Thunderbolt" Shi Lang, and Shi Lang's lifelong opponent Liu Guoxuan, any one of them is a famous sea warrior.

However, they were enemies of each other in history, and they fought in the dark near the Taiwan Strait.But now these three people will lead the Daming Navy together, how rare it is.

The Daming Navy has these three strong generals, and only waiting for the new warships to enter service, who will dare to beat them? !
In the next few days, Zhu Linmei supervised and directed the construction of the shipyard and the school during the day, and compiled the naval battle line tactics in her memory into a book in detail at night for use as a textbook for the naval school.

And Tianxing Mansion's memorial will be sent to Yongbeili the next day, so he can only stay up late for approval.

Late at night that day, when he tiredly opened the first memorandum on the desk and read a few lines, he immediately became more energetic, read it again carefully, and kept nodding his head.

What Yu Xin reported was the progress of the military restructuring.

According to what he said, there are currently more than 5 original guards and recruits in Fujing. Except for nearly 160% of them, they were sent home because they failed the review, and the rest have been reorganized as policemen. , belonging to more than [-] police stations in various states and counties, and some were transferred to Jiangxi.

On the other side of Jiangxi, apart from Wanji and Yongning Wang's troops, the other guards, with a total of 3000 soldiers, completed the transformation earlier than Fujing.It’s just that it’s not enough for these people to be policemen. The Ministry of War recruited more than 7000 people specifically for this purpose, and they were divided into nearly [-] police stations.

Of course, according to Zhu Linming's plan, the establishment of police stations at the state and county levels is only the first step, and will continue to be subdivided in the future until the police stations go deep into every village to form a complete police system.

He continued to look down, and the memorial said that the first batch of more than [-] policemen were going to the Longnan New Army Academy and the Jian'an Infantry Academy respectively, and they would start their drills today.

This was also arranged in accordance with the police training plan drawn up by Zhu Linmei in advance.After all, these "former Ming soldiers" have been influenced by the old-style army for too long, and they have all kinds of evil spirits. If they don't train well, it will be difficult to rely on them to maintain social order.

However, due to Zhu Linming's limited energy, she was unable to build a police academy for the time being, so she could only arrange for the police officers to go to the military academy to receive training in batches, and the instructors in the infantry academy would find time to teach them the duties of the police.

At the same time, the inspection divisions that originally had police functions were all abolished.This half-military, half-police organization in the Ming Dynasty had unclear functions and had many disadvantages, so it was time to take this opportunity to abolish it.

What concerned Zhu Linming the most was that Yu Xin mentioned that there were no accidents in the entire process of the transformation of the army. The officers were very conscious about handing over power, and the soldiers had no objections.

This is obviously the result of the group who dealt with Wei Ang before.

The second half of Yu Xin's memorial mainly talks about the recruitment of new soldiers.

Due to the continuous propaganda of the Missionary Office and the excellent performance of the Dragon Guards in the previous battle against Jianlu, Jiangxi and Fujing recruited more than [-] new recruits in less than a month. Screened healthy people of duty.

What's even more gratifying is that there are nearly 2000 people here who are literate, and more than [-]% of them are famous.

Zhu Linmei thought for a while, and wrote a letter to Yu Xin, mainly asking him to select the outstanding ones from among those who could read and write and send them to the Royal Military Academy, and transfer the rest to the two military academies.

After the personal soldiers took the letter and left, Zhu Linmi couldn't help but took a deep breath, "Now that all aspects are finally ready, we can draw out the Dragon Guards."

He raised his eyes and looked to the southwest, "Finally, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan can really return to the rule of the imperial court."

He previously beheaded the officials of the captives to frighten the courtiers.Now nearly [-]% of the officials in the DPRK were promoted by Zhu Lin after these prisoners vacated their positions, so she was naturally loyal to him.

Then he tripled the salaries of officials, not only being able to maintain integrity with high salaries, but also immediately gaining the support of his ministers.

This is to stabilize the officials in the court.

Immediately afterwards, he set up a Propaganda Department to promote and stabilize people's hearts.As a result, a large number of low-level job vacancies have been added, satisfying the desire of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty for rank.

Since then, the prestige of the auxiliary king among scholars has risen unprecedentedly.

In the end, during the drought in southern Fujian, he did not hesitate to invest a large sum of money in relief, and defeated profiteers who hoarded money through overseas grain adjustments, saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of victims.

Then it announced the implementation of a single agricultural tax, and set up a parity department to monitor grain prices.

People in Jiangxi and Fujian all regard him as a reborn parent.

Now the military restructuring is finally coming to an end.

All the military officers who have been obedient to the imperial court have been wiped out.The soldiers who had been exploited and sucked blood by the officers were reintroduced into the police system and received wages directly from the Ministry of War.Now even if someone has a crooked mind to instigate a mutiny, no soldier is willing to join them.

Once the courtiers, scholars, farmers, and soldiers were stabilized, the foundation of the entire Ming Dynasty would be as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhu Linmei believes that even if there is no Longwei Army guarding Fujing right now, even if he has been away from Tianxing Mansion for a long time, there will be no troubles in this Taizheng Dynasty.

When Zhu Yu'ao staged a coup, the main force was provided by Ding Kuichu.In other words, the governor of the two provinces, Mr. Ding, is also a serious crime of conspiracy.

Since the Longwu Dynasty, the imperial court has been unable to do anything about the land of Guangdong and Guangxi.Firstly, it was because of the lack of troops, and secondly, it was because although Ding Kuichu had established a separatist regime, on the surface, he was still under the rule of Longwu, so the court could not find any excuse to launch an attack.

Now that Ding Kuichu took the initiative to send such a handle, of course Zhu Linmi would not miss it.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the main force of Su Pin's [-] Cantonese troops were captured and killed outside the city of Tianxing Mansion, Ding Kuichu had not yet slowed down, and it was a good opportunity to send troops westward to recover the isolated areas of Guangdong and Guangxi in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the Shadingzhou rebellion in Yunnan also had a great impact on Daming.In history, it was this rebellion that caused the rear of the Yongli Dynasty to remain unstable. Even if Li Dingguo, the "Military God", existed, he could only survive for more than ten years and was defeated by Wu Sangui's army.
