Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 501 Civil Disturbance in the Ming Empire

"Your Majesty, in the recent war, our army had an advantage in the war with the murlocs, and now we have broken through the murloc empire's obstruction."

In the lord's mansion, Di Feng received information from the front line.

"It has already landed, so the East China Sea Navy Headquarters needs to face a new enemy." Di Feng asked. "Is there any incident in the landing operation?"

"Not yet." Li Xiuning introduced to Di Feng. "That piece of land itself is not a big force, and there are three or five forces fighting in the main island.

There are also multiple forces around the ocean, we can at most be regarded as an external force, and there is no problem in temporarily defending. "

"Now that our army has expanded to such a point, our map needs to be updated." Di Feng asked.

"The East China Sea Naval Headquarters is under the jurisdiction of the offshore area, and the Qiandao sea area is large enough. Our navy needs to form a new naval theater."

"I think this suggestion is good." Li Xiuning casually sat next to Di Feng. Since she was withdrawn from the position of first-line regiment commander, Li Xiuning has been idle for these years and has been practicing for a long time.

Through continuous training and learning, Li Xiuning's own command ability has improved again, and her own strength has also reached the golden peak.

However, as the level gets higher and higher, each major stage is a more solid bottleneck, and it takes a long time to break through. Now Li Xiuning is stuck at this point.

But even though he was stuck, because the lifespan of the gold level itself was relatively long, there was no need to worry too much about cultivation.

But in Qinghe City, they can live in the lord's mansion on a daily basis, and Li Xiuning, Di Feng and the children spend a lot of time together.

And in the lord's mansion, with no one else around, Li Xiuning also became very casual.

"Now the East China Sea Navy Headquarters is responsible for the sea area spanning four thousand kilometers from the East China Sea Road to the Jiangnan Road, and it also extends to a distance of more than 1000 kilometers.

Such an area, coupled with the need to guard against the southern elf empire, the three fleets of the East China Sea Navy Headquarters, has reached its limit.

In recent years, we have built a large number of warships. It can be said that the six fleets under the two naval headquarters are almost perfect.

Now I think it is possible to form a new naval headquarters between the East China Sea Navy Headquarters and the Qiandao Navy Headquarters.

Extending from the continental shelf to the east, one thousand kilometers away, from the Thousand Islands Sea to the south, it is a pelagic area, and there are countless marine races there, so it is named the Wanzu Sea, so this naval headquarters is the Wanzu Sea Naval Headquarters.

The Naval Headquarters was established in the landing area, and a fleet of the East China Sea Naval Headquarters and a Marine Division were included in the Naval Headquarters.

Because the ocean area here is no less than the current land area of ​​the empire, this naval headquarters exists as a separate military region. The current commander of the East China Sea Navy Headquarters is the commander of the Wanzu Sea Area Naval Headquarters, and the commander of the East China Sea Navy Headquarters is the commander of the First Naval Fleet. "

"can."

Li Xiuning thought for a moment, then nodded.

"That's fine, I have no problem.

However, if a fleet and a marine division are transferred to the new military region, then the troops under the East China Sea Navy Headquarters will be somewhat insufficient, so a new fleet needs to be formed to make up for the East China Sea Navy region.

Moreover, since that piece of land is actually not small in size, a marine division may not be able to defeat the power on that land and the power in the sea. "

"This is easy." Di Feng replied.

"It's enough for the military training department to recruit more soldiers. The newly formed naval headquarters is still in charge of the vast ocean, so the subordinates should first create two new fleets and an offshore defense fleet.

The Marine Corps has also expanded into three divisions. Such an army's combat effectiveness can guarantee a firm foothold for the Ten Thousand Races Sea Area Navy Headquarters. As for the future, there will definitely be new changes in the empire in a few years.

And there were enough recruits at that time that I thought it would be possible to expand those Marine divisions into a regiment. "

Di Feng was thinking while talking.

"Moreover, the empire still needs to develop internally. The task of the newly formed Ten Thousand Races Sea Area Naval Headquarters is to gain a firm foothold and advance little by little without launching a major battle.

In addition, because there is no place to build a base station on the ocean, I then moved the two newly built floating platforms there, so that the naval headquarters can guarantee thousands of kilometers of communication. "

"That's fine." Listening to Di Feng's words, Li Xiuning thought about it, and nodded accordingly. "I will formulate a battle plan when I go back, and then issue it."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Di Feng continued with a smile.

"Now the empire still needs to develop internally. Although the total population has exceeded [-] million, in my opinion, it is still a bit small.

There are still a few years left in the ten-year plan. If this period of time passes and the empire is still peaceful, I think it will not be a problem to develop peacefully for five or ten years. "

"However, will the forces around us really live in peace for such a long time?" Li Xiuning asked casually.

"Then I don't know, but according to the population statistics of the past two years, in ten years, we will have a population of about [-] million adults, plus more newborns, and when the army is mobilized, we can immediately form thousands of people. Wan's army is coming.

At that time, we don't need to worry about any opponents around us. "Di Feng replied.

"Moreover, with the development of science and technology, at that time, our planes, tanks, warships, etc. will be upgraded, and the powerhouses in the empire will also improve a lot. By then, how can we say that the empire will be several times stronger than it is now."

"By the way, apart from what happened in the Eastern Navy District, it is the Liaodong Military District in the north. Over the years, under the command of Admiral Sejuani, the Liaodong Military District has continuously launched small-scale battles. Now, except for the mountainous area of ​​Liaodong Road, it has not expanded outwards. , Liaozhong and Liaoxi areas have been extended to the north by two hundred kilometers.

In the area of ​​two hundred kilometers, one hundred kilometers has become the interior, one hundred kilometers is the line of defense, and continues to extend outward for fifty kilometers as a buffer zone.

It can be said that Admiral Sejuani will open up a new area for the empire.I have had these results reviewed by others, and they are all real results, without any false reports. "

"This is a good thing." Di Feng was a little surprised and said jokingly. "It seems that Sejuani can't stay idle. With so much military exploits accumulated, maybe I will continue to promote Sejuani's rank after the rest of the empire is over."

"In addition, with regard to the empire's territory in the west, there have been internal problems in the Ming Empire recently."

"I know this too." Di Feng replied. "Your army still passed external investigations, but the imperial intelligence department has penetrated into the interior of the Ming Empire, and there are more specific intelligence."

"Husband, can you tell me more about this information?" Li Xiuning asked. "Does our army need to do something?"

"The source of the intelligence cannot be said, but there is no problem with the content of the intelligence."

Di Feng told Li Xiuning about the recent civil strife in the Ming Empire.

"According to intelligence, there is a problem with the social structure of the Ming Empire.

The general institutional structure of the Ming Empire has also been studied in our empire. According to the history of the Ming Empire after it entered this world, the Ming Empire was an ancient country when it entered the world of mist.

At that time, the emperor of the empire had the power of strange things, and quickly took back the power of civil and military affairs. Then the Ming Empire reorganized the army, cleaned up the civil officials, and coupled with external threats, the empire was united and gradually expanded.

But with the war and the expansion of the empire, the social structure of the Ming Empire did not change, and the poor and landlords coexisted at the bottom.

Although it expanded at the beginning and the land increased, those people had new land, and social conflicts were temporarily alleviated.But because the landlords are not eliminated.

Moreover, land is still wantonly annexed at the local level, and no large farms in northern my country have been formed within the Ming Empire.It is still the self-cultivation model of every household.

Later, due to the development of technology and the improvement of productivity, the contradiction continued to be postponed, but those factory owners themselves were still social aristocrats.

Moreover, those factory owners and landlords were united, or some factory owners were landlords. These factory owners and landlords, as the most basic rule of the Ming Empire, occupied the vast countryside of the Ming Empire.

Moreover, they do not have the system of eight hours of work, overtime and overtime wages. It can be said that those workers and farmers are very miserable.

There are even bandit forces in many areas, which is unimaginable in the empire. "

"Ah."

Leaning in Di Feng's arms, Li Xiuning listened to Di Feng's introduction to the Ming Empire.As the master of one empire, Di Feng also took time to study another empire.

"On the other hand, as the foggy land we are in continues to merge, the inner world becomes bigger and bigger, and the environment becomes more and more complicated."

"So recently you established a meteorological department under the General Administration Office."

"Yes." Di Feng nodded.

"With the world getting bigger, and from time to time new Mists are added to it, we don't know how huge the Mists are right now.

But the bigger the world, the air flow, the ocean current flow, and the topographical barrier gradually changed some original areas to some environments.

For example, the Changyuan Mountains north of Qinghe City blocked most of the southward cold current and the northward ocean current.

This has led to more and more rain in the south of the Changyuan Mountains, the climate has become warmer, and the coldness in winter has dropped a lot.

But in the north of the Changyuan Mountains, the winter is cold and becomes a bit dry, but because the mountain range in Liaodong Road blocks the rainwater from the Qiandao Sea, the northern area can still be used as a grain production area. "

"However, the Ming Empire was not so lucky."

Di Feng said.

"According to the meteorological structure, the Ming Empire is located in the interior. The north is thousands of kilometers of land, the east is the empire, and the west is thousands of kilometers away from Haiyang. The same is true for the south.

In such an inland empire, due to the lack of water vapor circulation, the land became less fertile and became a bit like a semi-arid area. Only some areas covered by rivers and lakes were food-producing areas. "

Because of the changes in the land, the population of the Ming Empire increased, and two small countries were annexed recently, and the internal food became less and less.

At the beginning of this year, a severe drought occurred in several provinces of the Ming Empire, and the accompanying locust plague affected a population of at least 4000 million.

"Because of the drought and locust plague, 4000 million people in the Ming Empire starved, coupled with the original social structure, it easily caused a burst of uprisings.

Now the Ming Empire dispatched more than [-] people to suppress the rebellion, but because there were some weapon factories in the areas where the rebellion occurred, those workers watched the peasants revolt, so they also revolted.

In this way, the workers were able to produce all kinds of weapons by themselves, so the armed forces could not absolutely suppress the insurgents, and now it has become a protracted war.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, a rebellion broke out in the two small countries annexed by the Ming Empire in recent years. There are also more than 1000 million people there. Now the participating nobles of the two kingdoms have found the royal family who does not know where they came from, and they are fighting Complex flag.

As a result, wars were fought in the northern and western regions of the Ming Empire, as well as in the central part.

And because the drought-prone areas are the grain-producing areas of the Ming Empire, and now there are no crops and rebellions, the current emperor of the Ming Empire has his headaches. "

When Di Feng said this, he also snickered a little.

"The development of the Ming Empire has indeed greatly increased its power, and the total population has exceeded 3000 million in recent years.

But because the ruling class is landlords, factory owners, nobles, literati, and military generals.Now unless the Ming Empire kills millions of people, otherwise this rebellion cannot be stopped.

Not only that, because of the lack of food, it was a bit difficult for them in the northern provinces.

Looking at the situation, the small countries on the northern border are also a little ready to move. If it is not that the empire needs to develop internally, it is not easy to start a war with the same empire, and the empire does not have the ability to destroy the Ming Empire at once. This opportunity to play a game.

And if we don't act, the two empires further west that are rivals to the Ming Empire are also preparing to expand their power.

Moreover, in the southern part of the Ming Empire, taking advantage of the chaos, those big nobles are colluding with local forces to annex land. "

"If this uprising and rebellion lasts for more than a year, several small countries in the north and those in the south of the Ming Empire will declare war on the Ming Empire.

When the war starts, we will resell some war supplies and some old grain, then not only will the empire make a lot of money, but it will also weaken the strength of the Ming Empire. "

"I see."

After Di Feng introduced the cause and effect of the Ming Empire, Li Xiuning was a little stunned.

"If something like this happens to us, what will my husband do?"

"With the current level of development of the empire, these things will not happen to us."

Di Feng said with a firm tone.

"Really." Li Xiuning said again in disbelief.

"Then, for example, this time drought and locust plagues cover the entire northern region, what will you do?"

"You want to give me a problem, but it's impossible." Di Feng said with a smile after hearing Li Xiuning's hypothesis.

"First of all, if there is a drought and locust plague covering several northern roads in the empire, first of all, there will be large farms there. At most, those farms will be abandoned for a year, and their income will be lost for a year."

"As for food, the empire now has enough rations for everyone in the empire to feed for ten years, and there are countless fishing grounds in the empire and a lot of undeveloped land on the sea. Even if the whole country has no harvest for two years, the empire can live normally. It just so happens that those people can be transferred as workers."

"Has the empire's grain reserves reached this point?" Li Xiuning's eyes widened, a little unbelievable.After all, as an army commander, Li Xiuning usually does not have access to the details of government affairs.

"Otherwise." Di Feng said jokingly. "Over the years, I have been building top-level granaries in various places, and I have also built many underground secret ice storages to store all kinds of meat for war.

The empire can produce two or three years of rations every year, and 90.00% of these grains have been stored. "
