Chapter 349 The replacement of firearms
In addition to the good aspects and the aspects that need help, the shortcomings of officials in Shandong Province are also mentioned. For example, the serious corruption problem is serious and the trend of lazy government is prevalent. Except for Dengzhou and Haizhou, two provincial institutions that are more concerned about, officials in other places often do not plan their own affairs. The governor has only the right to report the memorial service, but the real punishment must be approved by the examination department.
This is also a disguised hope that Ulutus will increase the power of the governor.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for officials below to "follow" the superiors to "subject to" their official positions when they see that their superiors have no right to deprive them of their official positions. This will not be so smooth to manage.
But this is obviously impossible to pass!
Ulutus himself had too much local power, and gradually formed the current appearance of the Khan Court, which was too big for him. So he didn't want others to follow his old path! In addition, Shandong is a new place, and it can only be connected with the Ming Dynasty through sea. In terms of rule, it must be not as solid as the Jiangnan Province.
Although it is to win the hearts of the people, local forces have to be wary of it. Moreover, some of the officials in Shandong Province are surrendered to the original local families. Ulutus does not trust these families from the bottom of his heart.
In the face of interests, they could abandon the Jin Kingdom and the Red Coat Army, but they would also abandon the Ming Kingdom that day. Therefore, Ulutus already had the idea of demoting these powerful people to serve as demotions.
But now some families have moved their own forces first, so Ulutus doesn't mind letting these demoted officials stay in the local area for two more years. But those who are not cooperative can't think of good results.
After the governor, it was Governor Urianha Jimunet who came forward to report.
Since the real power of commanding the troops was the garrison of the Western Army, Temulun, the deputy governor of the garrison, Jimunet had limited ability. For example, recruiting new recruits, preparing food and grass, and being responsible for the logistics supply of the Western Army. If recruiting new recruits, the Ming army was given a high salary, so the recruitment was very smooth.
Even if the militia is the only one who is used to deal with, not any of the four major legions of the north, south, west and middle, many people are excited to sign up. The organization is 50,000, which is the same as the size of the four major legions. It is just that the training is not as good as the four major legions, and the daily training volume cannot be compared with the four major legions.
During the busy farming period, these militias could also go home to help harvest crops. Military expenses were supplied according to half of the Western Army, and were directly distributed to each soldier by the court's military salary department. Like the secret guards and the open guards, they were directly under Ulutus.
This is also to let the soldiers know who was giving them money and food. At the same time, it is also to avoid bad incidents such as empty salary, false reporting, and concealment of military salary.
So in the army, no one can surpass Ulutus. Because of money and food, no one dares to challenge him with a tough attitude.
For logistics supply, the most is the supply of firearms. With Ulutus' continued emphasis on firearms, as well as the improvement of contemporary firearms and the proposal of new ideas of Ulutus, more advanced firearms such as cannons, machin guns, flintlock guns, etc. are also being manufactured.
After the initial flash tube was optimized to the maximum extent, Ulutus was no longer ready to produce in large quantities. At the same time, the mass production of the flint guns and flintlock guns can also be started. Especially the flintlock guns, because the technical threshold is low and the mass production efficiency is high. However, the flintlock guns are limited by productivity and need to be optimized to improve production efficiency.
The complete manufacturing and mass production of artillery is synchronized with the combs. In the workshop in Shangjing, the islands of Busan and the production workshop on an island in the Changshan Islands in the Bohai Strait, artillery is being manufactured secretly. However, the output did not flow into the army, because Ulutus did not want the secret of the renewal of the Ming firearms to be made public.
He had to save it first, and when his uncle returned to the grasslands in the north of the desert and wanted to trap Ming Kingdom in an unfavorable manner, he would give the Khan a big surprise.
Just like the anti-Mongolian alliance we are doing now.
He brought three useless kids to show the Khan Ting!
Ulutus never thought of relying entirely on Jin Xia or Song. Ulutus, who knew the history of later generations, also knew the ultimate fate of these three useless people, and without exception, they were all destroyed.
If Ming Dynasty wanted to not follow the old path of three useless people, it would only work hard to strengthen itself. This was not only reflected in the army, but also needed huge amounts of money and food support.
Song Jinxia was the real purpose of Ulutus wearing the cloak of a military alliance, but in fact it promoted economic integration and even economic plunder. Their population and wealth were the tools for the Ming Dynasty to quickly strengthen itself and replenish blood and strength.
And if they spend more time with the Khan court through this false alliance, the Ming Dynasty would not have to struggle when facing the pressure from the Khan court. Although these three countries are really useless in terms of force, killing people will be tiring.
What's more, even if Ulutus wholeheartedly promotes the alliance, the contradictions between countries will not be so easily eliminated. There is not enough time and it cannot withstand long-term running-in.
Therefore, Ulutus is more realistic and get enough benefits before talking about other things.
Urianha Jimunet, the governor of Shandong, is doing well in these things. He was originally a member of the Urianha tribe, but later was assigned to the small tribe of Urītus. With the expansion of the Urītus tribe, his status gradually increased with military merits. An important province like Shandong Province can only be watched by the heroes who started with Urītus like Jimunet, so that the court center can rest assured.
Ulutus did not sting in praise, and praised Urianha Jimunet's achievements in guarding the local area. He also rewarded the flintlock rifle he had used as a reward.
After him, King Zaluhuchi of Shandong Province, one of the three major officials, was moved.
The other party and the Minister of Rites Wang Xu were cousins. During the Jin Dynasty, they were already a parent official in a state in Liaodong. Later, the Dazhen Kingdom was established. He was not as good as his brother Wang Xu. He fell in love with Pucha Wannu, and thus achieved the merit of following the dragon.
However, the official position was still preserved, and under the protection of the Wang family, the official career was smooth. When the Ming Dynasty ruled, he followed his family to surrender to Ulutus. After the establishment of the Shandong Province, he immediately crossed the sea to take office.
As a result, two of the three major officials in Shandong Province were transferred from the Ming Dynasty. From this, we can also see that the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to Shandong Province and its vigilance against local forces.
The corruption case in the refugee camp was the biggest political stain on Wang Qian's tenure. And it was the kind that could not be washed off no matter how much he washed it.
Speaking of which, this is also because Zaluhuchi has limited power and insufficient attention.
Who would have thought that a small leader in a refugee camp would be so greedy? Zhaluhuchi's security army had always focused on the increasingly rampant smuggling trade, and did not care so much about internal corruption.
As a result, the little in charge became more arrogant, causing such a big loss when the inspector arrived.
