That night, although the temporarily formed Jinghua Cavalry all belonged to Jinghua Trading Co., there were actually three sources.
The first source is the Gyeonggi Division of Kyunghwa Trading Co., Ltd. This Gyeonggi Division usually has several tasks, one of which is to be responsible for the direction of Daning. The reason is not entirely economic, but another important aspect is that it serves as a highly pragmatic backbone.
With Daning as the intelligence support point for the Northern Expedition, advance intelligence coverage was carried out.
This coverage is dominated by Chahar, supplemented by Tumut, and also includes Mongolia's left and right wing forces such as Transkarkha. The news of Tumut's defeat this day also came from their monitoring.
The second source is the Tumut Business Department of Jinghua Trading Company. As the name suggests, this "Tumut Department" is specifically responsible for trade in Tumut. Because the basic territory of Tumut at this time (the actual control areas on the left and right wings often change
, so I can only talk about the basics here) It is roughly on the east line to Daning, so the Tumut Business Department of Jinghua Trading Co., Ltd. needs to come here to develop business.
The third source is the Liaodong Affairs Department of Jinghua Trading Company. The Liaodong Affairs Department used to divide its business according to the administrative divisions of the Ming Dynasty, that is, it was only responsible for the jurisdiction of the Liaodong governor within the Ming Dynasty, and outside the Ming Dynasty it was only related to the Jurchen ministries and North Korea. However,
As Jinghua's strength gradually strengthens, and Gao Pragmatic has always advocated "internal competition", the special phenomenon of business performance competition between two affairs departments has appeared in many areas. Daning is such a special case.
area.
What is special? What is special about Daning is that it is basically in a state of isolation, and its weird institutional attributes.
As mentioned before, during the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong did not have its own administrative envoys' department. Instead, it was established by the administrative envoys' department. The Shandong administrative envoys were also responsible for the "administrative affairs" work in Liaodong, and the Shandong administrative envoys were also responsible for the "inspection and inspection" work in Liaodong.
, and so on. In terms of local administration, there are no simple administrative structures such as prefects, prefectures, and county magistrates in Liaodong. Instead, they are directly managed by the local health office, which is the so-called "military control."
However, this does not mean that Liaodong is purely left to the military - or to a group of generals - because Liaodong has a normal military preparation system, which is governed by civilian officials at several jurisdictions equivalent to prefecture and state levels, such as Gao
The position that Pragmatic held when he arrived in Liaodong at the beginning of the past year was "Jin Fu Hai Gai Military Preparation", taking charge of the four states of Jin, Fu, Hai and Gai in southern Liaoning.
The current situation in Daning is very interesting. It belongs to the Northern Zhili in terms of administrative divisions, is under the jurisdiction of Governor Ji Liao in terms of military divisions, and is under the jurisdiction of Governor Shuntian in terms of governor settings. However... it does not have a prefect or prefect.
, of course, considering its size, it is impossible to set up a magistrate county, so it also has the special model phenomenon of "military control" in Liaodong, which can be said to be very unique.
This specialness creates conditions for Jinghua's "internal competition". Jinghua Trading Company is responsible for all land-based foreign trade, and Daning is of course an area for land-based foreign trade, so from the perspective of Jinghua Trading Company, Daning is its business area
, this is no problem, but the various business departments under it have different views on Daning.
The Gyeonggi Business Department believes that since Daning belongs to Beizhili in terms of administrative planning, of course our department has to carry out work. This is totally fine, right?
The Tumut Business Department believes that Daning is close to the eastern territory of Tumut and is the fulcrum for our department to carry out business in the eastern part of Tumut. It is a necessary place. Of course our department has to carry out work. This is absolutely no problem, right?
?
The Liaodong Business Department gave up at the first glance, saying that although Daning temporarily seemed to be "alone in the north of the Great Wall", it had always been the imperial court's support point in northern Xinjiang and was a key link from the north of the Great Wall to Liaodong and northern Zhili.
The status is exactly the same as that of Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou within the customs, so of course there is no problem for our department to go to Daning to carry out business, right?
So this is a good idea. Daning originally seemed to be a three-in-one area. However, because internal competition relied on data, the three divisions all believed that working in Daning could improve their performance, so they all went to Daning to develop. In this way,
Since then, there have often been spectacles in Daning City where the three divisions of the Jinghua Trading Company all send people to compete for each other's business.
In fact, the internal competition Gao pragmatic said did not refer to such internal competition. His original intention may be to use Jinghua's three major shipyards as an example.
At first, there was only one Jinghua shipyard in Laizhou. Later, because Gao pragmatically moved to Guangxi and Jinghua's business began to move south, he began to consider setting up a new shipyard in Guangzhou. However, due to various reasons, the shipyard's
The main factory area was adjusted to Qinzhou, and Jinghua Qinzhou Shipyard became the second shipyard of Jinghua Shipyard.
In essence, it is a branch factory, and in order to distinguish it, from this time on, the original factory area in Laizhou was also separated and called Jinghua Laizhou Shipyard.
Later, Annan began to build the Jingang Shipyard. However, at that time, Gao Pragmatic was not particularly sure about whether Annan could be guaranteed to be permanent. Therefore, the investment level and technical strength of the Jingang Shipyard were limited for a long time, and it was generally based on ship repair.
Mainly, the ability to build by oneself is relatively poor.
But the turning point came soon. Riding on the east wind of the Yunnan-Burma War, Beijing controlled almost the entire Indochina Peninsula in a short period of time, and Siam was selected as the future core area of southern Xinjiang. Dingnancheng began
Large-scale, high-investment construction.
Of course, construction is not just about building a city, a palace or the like. A city without industrial support obviously has no future and will most likely only become a castle in the air. Therefore, a large number of people in Beijing including Huang Zhiting, Gao Mengnan and even Liu Xin, etc.
Following suggestions from senior officials, Gao Pragmatic also began to mobilize resources to consolidate the industrial scale of Dingnan.
In this process, a very important industrial transfer was to pack up and move the Jingang Shipyard to Dingnan, leaving only the most basic ship repair business. At the same time, investment in Jinghua Dingnan Shipyard was increased, and Dingnan Shipyard became
The third branch of Jinghua Shipyard.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The distribution of the three major shipyards in Laizhou, Qinzhou and Dingnan is thousands of miles apart. Is there no internal competition? Of course not. Although the distribution of the three major shipyards
The construction of inland river ships is indeed divided into "mission areas" according to regions. For example, the Laizhou Shipyard is responsible for the construction of inland river ships in the entire northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the Qinzhou Shipyard is responsible for the construction of inland river ships in the entire southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the Dingnan Shipyard is responsible for the entire southern Xinjiang region.
Construction of inland river vessels, but this division only stipulates the construction of inland river vessels and does not include sea-going vessels.
The construction standards of seagoing ships are much higher than those of inland river ships, and their service life is also longer (although they often need major repairs and minor repairs due to the use environment), so buying a ship in a place that seems far away does not actually have much impact.
can compete with each other.
Originally, Laizhou Shipyard, which had the strongest technical strength and the most complete infrastructure, occupied the largest market share. However, Qinzhou gradually caught up with Guangxi's high-quality and cheap wood and took away a lot of the market.
Then came the sudden rise of Dingnan Shipyard. The characteristics of this plant are that it not only has good quality and low-priced wood, but also because it is closest to Nanyang, it has also made slight adjustments to the design and manufacturing of some specific parts of Jinghua's ships to make them more durable.
More adaptable to Nanyang sea conditions.
As a result, the two major shipyards in Laizhou and Qinzhou felt the pressure, so Laizhou quickly adjusted its thinking and began to develop products that were fine-tuned for the conditions of the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and Japan, that is, its main business goal was to focus on the "Beiyang System"
”.
The Qinzhou Shipyard is not looking good at first glance. Good guys, one of you is targeting the Northern Ocean and the other is targeting the Southern Ocean. Should I, Qinzhou, go and drink from the northwest wind? That is definitely not possible. I have to have my own characteristics. Otherwise, what will I eat?
So Qinzhou Shipyard began to think hard and finally found a way: I focus on seaworthiness in all sea conditions! In other words, although my final products are not as good as Laizhou ships in Beiyang and not as good as Dingnan ships in Nanyang, they are better than them in Beiyang. The Dingnan ship is worse than the Laizhou ship in Nanyang. It is most suitable for one-stop trade - such as multi-stage trade: loading goods from the north, stopping at Susong, Guangzhou, Luzon, and Malacca for trade, and then doing business locally. This kind of ship owner replenishes goods and sells them back all the way.
As a result, such shipowners need a vessel that can handle multiple sea conditions better, so they may prefer Qinzhou ships.
What is internal competition? This is the internal competition advocated by Gao pragmatism. It is targeted differentiated competition and a competition to create products with different characteristics.
However, the internal competition of Jinghua Trading Company in Daning City is relatively weak, because Jinghua Trading Company is essentially a trading company. It is not responsible for production itself. The goods on hand are produced by various industrial entities of Jinghua. In this way
First of all, the purchase channels of the three business divisions are similar. What can we rely on to compete in Daning City? We must find ways to reduce costs.
However, the shipping price of Jinghua products within the Jinghua system is fixed. For example, the soap shipped from the Jingshi Main Factory of the Jinghua Soap Factory will be purchased at this price by the Gyeonggi Business Department of Jinghua Trading Co., and the same price will be purchased by the Tumote Business Department of other companies.
, the Liaodong Division came to purchase goods at the same price, of course. So the three divisions wanted to grab more shares in Daning, so they had to find another way in terms of cost.
If the purchase price is the same, how can the cost be optimized? Of course, it is to control transportation costs. If there is water transportation, the best magic weapon for transportation cost control at that time. However, the water transportation conditions to Daning City are quite poor. Although there is an Old Ha River, this
The runoff of the river during the dry season was worrying, and it was not a big river, so it was difficult to use it stably, so we had no choice but to work on the horse team.
How to put effort into the horse team? There are only two points: to expand the scale and reduce the cost of raising horses (not just horses, but also transporting livestock). But in this case, the Tumut Division has the greatest advantage in terms of expanding the scale; in terms of reducing the cost of raising horses,
The Liaodong Business Department had the greatest advantage, so in the end, a magical misplaced competition was actually created.
Wait a minute, what about the Gyeonggi Division? It doesn't matter. They are close to the Beizhili area where Jinghua's industries are densely populated. Although the prices are the same, the main products can be transported together because the transportation distance is short, which also creates a unique advantage.
In short, no matter what, the competition between the three major business divisions in Daning City is quite fierce, and the size of the cavalry of the three parties in Daning is also relatively large. This is the basis of their strength to form a team to rescue the Tumote Army tonight.
At this moment, people from the three major business divisions came together to calculate. The Gyeonggi Division could come up with 1,344 cavalry, and the Tumut Division could come up with 2,863 cavalry.
The Liaodong Division can raise 2,176 cavalry, and the three parties combined can raise nearly 6,400 cavalry. This is no longer a small amount.
Of course, theoretically speaking, more than 6,000 cavalry are definitely not enough to face Chahar's 60,000 army. However, although Tumut suffered a defeat first, he still has more than 20,000 cavalry, so he cannot be regarded as
They don’t exist, right?
What's more, Jinghua's three major business divisions all believe that they have some special advantages. For example, all Jinghua's cavalry have no night blindness, and they have an obvious advantage in night combat, at least in terms of vision.
Another example is that the equipment level of the Jinghua Cavalry has always been very good, especially the advantage of firearms. Although firearms are equipped for cavalry, both sides are cavalry. During the battle, the firearms may only have a chance to fire due to hedging, but in night battles
But not necessarily - since the opponent can't see the road ahead clearly, the possibility of daring to rush directly into the formation after receiving a volley is very small, because he has no idea whether the opponent's cavalry has dug a trap in advance.
Horse pits were set up with iron traps and other traps.
In addition, the cavalry leaders of the three major divisions also agreed that Burihatu might have expected that the Daning army would not dare to go out of the city at night, and would wait until dawn the next day even if they wanted to be rescued, so he had no idea what might happen tonight.
There should be no preparation for the reinforcements that appear.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, everyone's discussion has basically been reached, and there is only one thing left to decide: who will be in charge?
This matter is very realistic, because no matter whether the attack tonight is victory or defeat, the general will be the one who takes responsibility. If he wins, he will be the first to contribute; if he fails, he will be the chief culprit.
However, the "professional title system" that Gao pragmatism has secretly implemented for several years now plays a key role. Everyone can know who is the leader by comparing their "professional titles".
There is no need to explain professional titles, everyone in the Red Dynasty understood it, but the highly pragmatic "professional title system" is actually a smoke bomb. It is actually a military rank system, and it was only changed to the so-called professional title system to deceive others.
Military rank, as everyone in later generations will know, is a title for soldiers. It is awarded mainly based on a soldier's combat literacy, military literacy, business literacy and seniority. Usually, the military rank that is awarded to a soldier with higher combat literacy and seniority is
The higher it is.
In later generations, military ranks were mainly divided into private, non-commissioned officer, lieutenant, school officer, general officer and marshal. Among them, non-commissioned officers were divided into sergeants, sergeants, corporals, and sergeants major; lieutenants were divided into captains, lieutenants, and lieutenants; and school officers were mainly divided into
Colonel, lieutenant colonel, and colonel; general officers are mainly divided into generals, lieutenant generals and generals; the military ranks of each country are different. For example, the Red Dynasty also specially set up the rank of senior colonel, and the brigadier general of the American Empire was also very special.
In fact, the levels of the two military ranks are almost the same, but they are called differently.
Gao Pragmatic also set the professional titles of his armed servants according to this standard, but changed the names.
