The equalization of land system certainly means fairness to the middle and lower classes!

In particular, the New Ming Dynasty version of the equalized land system also cooperates with the two "great fairness" of equalized taxes and equalized service... Of course, the "equalized service system" among the "three equalization systems" also allows you to choose to pay and be exempted from service.

of.

What "equal service" means is military service and labor service. Of course, officials who are on the job do not have to serve - being on the job means being in service. Of course, they can no longer serve in the place of their registered residence. Others, as long as they are able to meet the standard of a strong man, can

The obligation to serve is exempted as long as the payment is made.

After the imperial court received the exemption money, it spent money to hire mercenaries, or paid an additional subsidy to the able-bodied men who served normally.

Therefore, the mobilization standard of one million troops per minute and one million troops is unlikely to be achieved before the war breaks out or in the early stages of the war.

This level of mobilization is usually only possible when the situation is very critical.

But even if this amount is reached, it can only be maintained for a short period of time... After all, the amount of silver dollars required to equip one million people with equipment, military pay, and food is an astronomical figure.

Moreover, the impact of Qidingfayi on production is too great. You can get through it by gritting your teeth for a year or two. If it takes a long time, who can bear it?

Therefore, in a long-term war, with the national power of the new Ming Dynasty, it is already very good to be able to maintain the size of an army of 500,000.

The 500,000 troops seemed to be quite a lot, but because the new Ming Dynasty took the route of being strong on both land and sea, and was still one on two on the mainland... so the troops were not as abundant as imagined.

After all, although the Qing Dynasty and Wu and Zhou Dynasty could not raise 500,000 soldiers, it was not difficult to maintain a strength of 150,000 to 300,000 troops each.

Therefore, the combined military strength of their two countries is actually not much less than that of the New Ming Dynasty.

As for the New Ming Dynasty, if it can be solved first, at least severely damaging one of the countries first, that would be the best choice.

And Zhu Heji asked people to invite King Zhu and Zhao Zhongyi back to Nanjing from Dengzhou just to discuss this matter.

On the third day after King Zhu Tian returned to Nanjing, he and Zhao Zhongyi were invited to the Wuying Hall enclosure in the Forbidden City.

After more than two years of construction, the first phase of the major renovation project of the Forbidden City in Nanjing has been completed.

In this first phase of major renovation, all three halls of the Forbidden City in Nanjing were renovated and restored to their former majesty.

The Wuying Hall and Wenhua Hall on both sides of the three main halls were completely bulldozed, and then two enclosure buildings were built on the original sites - in fact, they were two office buildings. Their names were still the same, but their uses were completely different.

Among them, the Wenhua Hall was the office building used by Zhu Heji to handle government affairs. The Prime Minister's Office, the Academician's Academy, the Hanlin Academy, the Consultative Council, the Confucian Main Hall, and the Imperial Palace all had offices in the building surrounding the Wenhua Hall.

The Wuying Hall was the office building used by Zhu Heji to handle military affairs. Military agencies such as the Military Advisor's Office, the Ministry of War, the Naval Command, the Army and Navy Academy, and the Imperial Guard all set up offices in the Wuying Hall.

In addition, there are several map rooms in Wuying Hall, where a huge map called "Da Ming Xia Di" hangs, as well as a map of the Ming Dynasty's sub-provinces, as well as a provincial sand table and special military maps - these maps and

The sand table was slowly made by the Ming Army Officer Academy and the Military Advisor's Office in the past few years, following the guidance of Zhu Heji. I don't say how accurate it is, but you can always take a look.

Today, the military meeting attended by King Zhu Tianwang and Zhao Zhongyi was held in the No. A map room where the huge map "Great Tomorrow Goes Down" hung.

This is a large room with windows facing south. The windows are large and all open, allowing light to come in directly, so there is no need to use lights, and the room is very bright.

Zhu Heji, Zhu Tianwang, Zhuge Sanhe, Zhao Zhongyi, Su Yong, Yu Zhongxian, Zuo Chunqiu and others all stood in front of the huge map.

Zhuge Zhengyang, the right military advisor of the Military Advisor's Mansion, was pointing at the map with a long thin wooden stick while explaining the basic situation of the world today.

"According to the information the imperial court has, the main force of the Qingyao Imperial Army is currently distributed from the Liaodong Peninsula to Jinzhou; the Xuzhou-Suzhou-Guide area; the Datong-Koubei Santing area; the Beijing-Tianjin area...

.They were controlled by Shengjing General Bahai, Xuzhou General Fei Yanggu, Fuyuan General Chang Ning and Kangxi himself. Each of these four armies had about 60,000 people, and the Qing court had about 60,000 more troops to defend it.

everywhere, so the total number of troops is as many as 300,000!"

King Zhu Tian was surprised when he heard the number, "Three hundred thousand? Is that much?"

Zhu Heji took the question and replied: "Although Kang Mazi doesn't have as much money as we do, he has cheap host Mongolian soldiers that he can use... There are still about 300,000 people!"

The host Mongolia he was talking about were the four alliances including Zhesuotu League, Xilingol League, Zhelimu League, and Zhaowuda League, which had dozens of Zasak banners under them and controlled at least hundreds of thousands of Mongolians.

....maybe millions!

It was not a problem for Kangxi to recruit 50,000 to 60,000 "cheap soldiers" from them.

In addition, Kangxi's own Eight Banners new army inside the Pass originally numbered more than 100,000 people, and the Eight Banners and Sauron soldiers outside the Pass had about 20,000. In addition, all the green battalions from all provinces have now joined the banner, and the total force is even less than 300,000.

That's pretty much it.

Zhuge Zhengyang said again: "Wu Yingxiong's military system is similar to ours. They all equalize the land first and then the soldiers. The population under his rule is about eight to nine million, two to two million, and seven to three hundred thousand."

, but the actual number of troops that can be mobilized is only about 150,000...of which 50,000 are placed in Sichuan, Yungui, and Guangxi, and the maximum number of troops on the front line in Huguang is 100,000.

Therefore, the advice of the Military Advisor Office is to use the Dengzhou front army to hold back the main force of the Qing army, and at the same time concentrate the southern troops to surprise Wu Yingxiong and seize Wu Yingxiong's Huguang... at least seize Hubei, and then turn around and go north to Henan, using Wu Yingqi's Northern Expedition.

The route is heading from Xiangyang to Kaifeng!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Among the Ming, Qing, and Three Kingdoms today, the weakest one is actually Wu Zhou...the population is too small!

Moreover, another split occurred after Wu Sangui's death, so Wu Yingxiong was able to maintain an army of 100,000 on the Huguang front line, which was already a remarkable achievement.

Zhu Heji could concentrate at least 300,000 troops on the Huguang front line, thus forming an absolute advantage of three against one.

After capturing Huguang, Wu Yingxiong lost the capital to fight for the world. Whether he ran to Sichuan or Yunnan and Guizhou, the situation was over.

Therefore, Zhu Heji did not need to worry about him for the time being, and just concentrated his troops to fight Kangxi decisively.

"Abba," Zhu Heji said to King Zhu Tian with a smile, "the southern line is three hundred thousand against one hundred thousand... You can win with your eyes closed! The problem now is the northern line. Kangxi is in Liaodong, Beijing

A total of 180,000 troops were stationed in Jin and Koubei. Although Burni in Mobei could contain Kangxi's strength to some extent, Kangxi's good Anda Galdan has developed rapidly in the past two years and has already posed a considerable threat to Burni.

Threatened.

Therefore, it is very likely that Burni will move west to compete with Galdan for territory... In addition, the Russians have also had several conflicts with Burni in recent years, which may also attract Burni's attention.

force.

Therefore, the worst case scenario is that the Dengzhou Army must use 60,000 troops to fight against the Qing Army of more than 100,000 people. Can they win?"

King Zhu Tian smiled and said: "Although the Qing army has hundreds of thousands, how long is the coastline of Liaodong and western Liaoning? It's even worse if you include North Korea! So their troops are dispersed, while ours is concentrated...

....So the initiative lies with me, and I can completely concentrate my forces to launch a surprise attack!"

"Surprise attack?" Zhu Heji asked, "Abba, where is the best place for a surprise attack?"

"Of course it's Lushunkou!" King Zhu Tian said, "Lushunkou is the closest to Dengzhou and has a good port."

"Lushunkou?" Zhu Heji was stunned, "Qingyao has been on guard at Lushunkou for several years. Is it possible that I can take advantage of him?"

King Zhu Tian smiled and said: "How many years does it matter? I can gather the army to get it, but Qingyao has many places that must be saved... It is not difficult to mobilize them. And Kangxi probably didn't know that I was hiding in Dengzhou
