Chapter 870 Gathering Military Power
In the 11th year of Tianhua, at the end of March, Tianhua held a grand court meeting again.

From the beginning of the founding of the country to the annihilation of the other countries, it took Tianhua ten years to finally unify the East, completing an unprecedented feat.

At this time, above the main hall, hung a huge map of Tianhua's territory.Everyone can see very intuitively that the entire Tianhua occupies more than half of the known world.Starting from Dongyang in the east and reaching the Aral Sea in the west, it stretches for more than [-] miles from east to west.It reaches the Nanyang Islands in the south and reaches the Mobei Ice Field in the north, spanning [-] miles from north to south.

Everyone looked at this huge territory very proudly, because they all contributed to Tianhua's unrivaled achievements.

After the meeting started, Han Song immediately explained to the ministers the specific situation of today's Hua Empire.

Since winning Eternity last year, today's Hua already has 38 state administrative regions. In addition to the previous states, it has added the original Tianyun four states, Yuanyunzhao, Liyue, Wuze, and Lingnan, all of which are abolished. Set up a state.At the same time, there are also the newly conquered Zhenxi and Zhennan two major governor's mansions, as well as the original Eternal Plateau God Palace.

According to last year's statistics, the population of the land of the Central Plains and the land of the original Tianyun skyrocketed to 8000 million.

The total population of the grasslands and Mobei, after continuous immigration and self-reproduction, finally reached 400 million, and began to gradually recover the population of the heyday.

But more importantly, with a large number of immigrants, the proportion of the Central Plains population in the grasslands has gradually approached a ratio of one to one, and the birth rate of the Chinese is much higher than that of the grassland people. It is only a matter of time question.

The Western Regions and Beiting, also under the policy of a large number of immigrants to strengthen the border, have a population of more than 700 million, and the Chinese population accounts for about [-]%.

As for Dongyang, after years of recovery, the population has started to grow slowly and has grown to around 400 million.

As for the newly conquered four countries in the southwest, although the population has shrunk after the war, the total population still reaches more than 600 million.

In addition, there are more than 200 million people in the Eternal Plateau, and a population of 700 in Zhenxi and Zhennan.Together with the 38 state capitals, the total population of today's Hua has exceeded [-] million.

In the past year, Tianhua's grain production continued to grow.According to statistics, last year Tianhua's arable area reached 7000 million mu, and the grain output reached the highest ever, exceeding 9000 million shi.There are more than [-] government-run pastures, and a total of [-] million cattle, sheep and horses are raised.

Although the industrial and commercial development in Tianhua was once in a downturn because of the war.But with the end of the war, workshops and shops quickly spread to all parts of Tianhua, and government-run workshops and private workshops bloomed everywhere.

Today, there are more than 8 registered workshops, including more than 2000 government-run ones and more than 4000 private ones. These workshops receive a large number of workers, which has reached nearly [-] million.Among them, only more than [-]% of the number of people admitted to government-run workshops remained, and the rest were employed in private workshops, indirectly affecting [-] million people.

There are nearly a million registered merchants, hundreds of thousands of shops have been opened, millions of people have been recruited, and tens of millions of people have been affected.The caravans consisted of tens of thousands of caravans, with a total of millions of carriages. The caravan guards followed the stability of Tianhua, and the number of caravan guards did not increase but decreased.

The countries that have established commercial relations with Tianhua include the Western Golden Wolf Khanate, the five vassal states of Wukaner, the Vientiane states that have become Tianhua's vassal states, and the Brooks states allies in the far west.

The countries that are trying to establish business relations include the countries located in the southwestern region of the Ukanr countries, as well as the Oman Empire and the Oslan Empire between the Western countries and the two khanates.

At the same time, the sea corridor that Tianhua is building has made great progress.Now tens of thousands of merchant ships have been built, with the expansion of the navy in the southern waters.At present, the navy's route has reached the southern waters of the Vientiane Kingdom, expanding the power of the Tianhua Navy to the South Seas of Vientiane.

With the power of the navy, the merchant ships spread to the south of Vientiane, and tried to enter the southern area of ​​Wukaner.

Tianhua's tax revenue last year had reached 5000 million taels.Coupled with the profits from the official business, the money from the finances has reached an astonishing [-] million taels.

Although the expedition to the plateau last year did cost a lot of money and food.However, after the Tianhua army persuaded the eternal main force to surrender, they also received the huge amount of wealth that Tuo Muxiong collected from the Vientiane countries, with a total value of more than 5000 million taels, which could fully make up for the losses caused by this campaign.

After Han Song finished speaking, the various ministries began to report to the conference the progress of last year's affairs and the goals to be accomplished in the coming year.Guide the direction of future development for the state governors and representatives present here.

Later, when it was the military's turn to report, Luo Yi began to introduce the current situation of the Tianhua Army.

Today, the Tianhua Army's standing troops have reached 60, and the reserve force has been reduced to 100 million, maintaining a total of about 160 million troops.

Among them, there are 20 regular troops and 30 reserve troops stationed in the Central Plains. Most of the troops are scattered and stationed in various parts of the Central Plains.There are [-] regular troops and [-] reserve troops stationed on the grassland, guarding the north and south of the grassland.

There are [-] regular troops and [-] reserve troops stationed in the Western Regions, scattered throughout the Western Regions.There are [-] regular troops and [-] reserves stationed in Dongyang.

Among the newly conquered lands, 20 soldiers and horses are stationed in the southwest, 15 troops are stationed in the west of the town, [-] troops are stationed in the south of the town, and [-] troops are stationed on the plateau.At the same time, in the Vientiane kingdoms, a hundred thousand soldiers and horses were reorganized and stationed in the Vientiane Capital Protectorate.

In addition, the navy's current strength has grown to 20 horses, with more than 3000 main warships, and more than 1 various warships and auxiliary ships.

However, with the stability of the world, there is no need for much defense in various places, and a new round of troop reduction is already the general trend.

But this does not mean that the Tianhua Empire puts its weapons into storage and puts its horses on Nanshan.With the popularity of firearms, the pattern of warfare has changed dramatically.

Wars are no longer won only by force, but by the quality of equipment.Of course, the morale of the army and the courage of the soldiers cannot be given up, nor can they be replaced by equipment.

According to the plan of the military government, in the next year, 30 troops will be abolished, and Tianhua's troops will be maintained at around 120 million.

At the same time, according to Lin Yifan's instructions, the entire Tianhua Empire was divided into five major defense zones, namely the China Defense Zone, which governed the sixteen prefectures of the Central Plains.The Donghua Defense Zone has jurisdiction over Dongyang and the East China Sea.The Xihua Defense Zone has jurisdiction over the Western Regions and Beiting, Zhennan and Zhenxi.The Nanhua Defense Zone has jurisdiction over the Southwest, the Eternal Plateau and the Nanyang Islands.The Beihua defense area has jurisdiction over the grassland and Mobei.

As for the commanders of the five defense zones, Qin Yuanhao will be the commander of the China Defense Zone, Liang Shi will be the commander of the East China Defense Zone, Hou Mingfeng will be the commander of the West China Defense Zone, Zheng Han will be the commander of the South China Defense Zone, and Yang Mingyuan will be the commander of the North China Defense Zone.

However, the commanders-in-chief of the five major defense zones did not serve as military chief officers in the garrison, but entered the military mansion as an important member of the command department, specializing in handling the affairs of each defense zone.

That is to say, as long as there is no major battle, the five people will no longer go to their respective defense areas to lead troops to fight, which is equivalent to gathering the military power of the five people in a different direction.
