Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 748 The eight major naval divisions, the sword points to the East!
after dinner.

Auntie Zhu was in Hao Guangming's workshop on the third floor, watching him open the rough jadeite, and at the same time talking about the affairs of Daming.

"Sir, Yuan Jixian and the others should be persuaded by me, right?"

During the meeting in the Hall of Martial Arts, Hao Guangming was cooking, but he heard the speeches of Aimee Zhu and the cabinet ministers through a Bluetooth headset.

At this moment, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, you have explained the truth so clearly, and they are all smart people, they will understand."

Auntie Zhu nodded slightly, and then sighed: "Speaking of which, Daming will start the industrial revolution and promote industrialization, which will indeed cause many ordinary people to lose their original livelihood. I'm afraid that many people will scold me at that time."

Hao Guangming said: "Not everyone in this world understands the truth and has a comprehensive understanding. Even if you do a very correct thing, some people will still say that you did it wrong, so you don't have to pay too much attention to some people's remarks .

If you know it is right, you should do it bravely. Future generations will comment on your merits and demerits. We just want to be ashamed of our hearts.

What's more, with the background of Ming Dynasty, the industrial revolution would never have the phenomenon of sheep cannibalism like in Britain in history.

And you still have hundreds of years of experience to learn from later generations, and there are many science and technologies that can be used. As long as you handle it properly, even a painless industrial revolution is possible.

For example, the textile industry, haven't we discussed it before?In terms of raw materials, on the one hand, it can allow the Western Regions to grow cotton on a large scale, and be prepared.

On the other hand, you can import cotton from India—at this time, India is the world’s largest producer of cotton. From the information we have found, from the end of Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, China imported cotton from India to subsidize raw materials for cotton spinning. Insufficient.

Now that the Ming Dynasty's navy has also grown in strength, it is absolutely possible to go to the Indian Ocean to make troubles and expand the scale of cotton trade.

In terms of the sales market, there are more than 1 million people in China. Isn't this many times stronger than Western countries?
The east side can open the door to Japan, and the west side can colonize India-import cotton from India, weave it into cotton cloth and sell it to them, which is very good.

In the end, with the quality of Ming Dynasty's cotton cloth, it doesn't need force to open the way to sell it to Western countries.

If you pay attention to controlling the speed of promotion of cotton spinning machinery such as steam looms, and leave silk weaving to the common people first, and use ten years to industrialize Daming cotton spinning, where can there be any major problems?

Moreover, there has been no perfect reform since ancient times—just like an operation, it will definitely hurt.But you can't just ignore the lesion just because of the pain, right?

Or, as you said in the courtroom today, you can’t stay where you are because you’re afraid of trouble, don’t want to make progress, and wait for others to improve and come to oppress you and beat you, right? "

After hearing Hao Guangming's words, Auntie Zhu felt relieved suddenly, and no longer worried about the upcoming industrialization of cotton spinning.

The next day, when Zhu Yuxi discussed this issue with the cabinet ministers again, Yuan Jixian and others no longer objected, but only asked how to alleviate the contradiction between the industrialization of cotton spinning and the relevant practitioners among the people, and the sales market after the production of cotton cloth increased.

Zhu Yu said some of Hao Guangming's remarks yesterday, and Yuan Jixian and others' worries were relieved a lot.

When the industrialization of cotton spinning is carried out later, it is inevitable that some people will lose part of their financial resources and even their livelihoods, but the imperial court can create other jobs for them.

Later generations of national reforms have crossed the river by feeling the stones, and even advanced in the dark. The road ahead of our Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years is clear, so why dare not do it?

···
In the seventh year of Zhaowu, at the end of January.

Aunt Zhu issued several imperial edicts one after another, and made a lot of moves on the military system.

First of all, under the Military Affairs Council, the Army Commander's Mansion was established in addition to the Navy Commander's Mansion.

The Army Governor's Mansion also has jurisdiction over the General Administration of the Imperial Guard, the General Administration of the Border Guards, and the General Administration of the Garrison.

Huang Degong, the Duke of Kaiyuan County, served as the left governor of the army, and Wu Yingbo's red lady served as the right governor of the army.

The Duke of Huang Degong was promoted due to his meritorious service after the battles between Gansu and Qinghai. Because he was originally from Sanwanwei in Liaodong, after Zhaowu established a prefecture in Liaodong, the place was Kaiyuan County under the prefecture of Xianping Prefecture, so it was named Kaiyuan County male.

In addition, Huang Degong also served as the chief of the General Administration of the Frontier Defense Forces, and Hong Niangzi concurrently served as the chief of the General Administration of the Imperial Guards. Ma Ke, a male from Nanchuan Township, was the chief of the General Administration of the Guards.

Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Nan'an, was still appointed as the left governor of the Naval Governor's Mansion, and the right governor was temporarily vacant.

Then came the adaptation and customization of the Daming Inland River Navy and Navy.

Abolish the original system of naval divisions in various provinces, and they are all included in the Navy Governor's Mansion under the Yellow River Navy, Yangtze River Navy, Beihai Navy, Donghai Navy, South Sea Navy, Nanyang Navy, Western Navy, and Oriental Navy (translation for the Pacific is a foreign language) Come, in the Ming Dynasty called Dongyang) Eight Departments.

The highest commander of each naval division is the admiral, and one or several deputy admirals assist him.

The fleet under the jurisdiction of the Navy, such as the No. 11 town of the original navy of the Nanyang Navy, will be renamed the First Fleet of the Nanyang Navy according to the new system, and the captain of the fleet will still be the chief soldier or deputy chief soldier.

The fleet is under the jurisdiction of the squadron, and the chief is the general or guerrilla.

Each squadron has different ships under its jurisdiction, and the captain can be Qian Zong, Ba Zong, or post captain, and can also be collectively referred to as the captain.

Therefore, each navy will also have different ships under its jurisdiction due to the size of the sea area it cruises and the severity of tasks it undertakes.

For the first time, it was divided into one town of Yellow River Navy, two towns of Yangtze River Navy, three towns of Beihai Navy, two towns of Donghai Navy, two towns of Nanyang Navy, three towns of Nanyang Navy, two towns of Western Navy, and two towns of Dongyang Navy. Three towns.

It happened to divide the original seventeen towns of the navy.

It is also worth mentioning that the Qinglong Battalion of the Yulin Army has been absorbing elites from various towns of the Navy for the past few years. At present, the number of soldiers has exceeded [-], which is actually the establishment of a town.

Based on the calculation of about 1 people in each town, Daming now has more than 20 naval officers and soldiers!
In addition to the large-scale mobilization of the navy, the Military Affairs Council also introduced the soldier grading system that Zhu Yuxi had briefly implemented during the period when she was in charge of the country.

After Zhu Yuxi ascended the throne, while abolishing the Weisuo system, the original Ming military ranks (such as Xiaoqi, Zongqi, Baihu, etc.) were actually suspended.

Therefore, the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty now have no military ranks, but the threshold for obtaining titles has been lowered.

As for the re-implementation of the soldier grading system this time, it has nothing to do with military rank or title, it is purely to encourage ordinary soldiers to improve their personal military literacy.

Under the order of the Military Council, soldiers will be divided into four grades: recruits, private soldiers, strong soldiers, and elite soldiers.

Those who train in the new barracks are recruits, and those who pass the training and enter the various troops are private soldiers, and they can be promoted to strong soldiers and sharp soldiers after hard work.

However, as long as the soldiers are not recruits, whether they are private soldiers, strong soldiers or sharp soldiers, it will not affect their promotion to officers.

···
After this series of changes in the army, what Zhu Yuxi was most concerned about was the formation of the Dongyang Navy.

In mid-February, Zheng Cai, the first admiral of the Dongyang Navy, and Yan Yingyuan, who served as the commander-in-chief and deputy admiral, came to Nanjing to face the saint.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ceremony, Auntie Zhu directly asked, "Has the Pacific Navy been reorganized?"

Zheng Cai said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, it has been compiled."

Zheng Cai was the deputy chief soldier of the Zhenjiang Navy led by Zheng Hongkui during the Hongguang period. Later, the Zheng family was completely attached to the imperial court, and Zheng Cai still served as the deputy chief soldier of the Navy.

It wasn't until Zheng Hongkui was transferred to serve as the admiral of the Nanyang Navy that he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Town of the Navy, stationed in Jingjiang, responsible for the tranquility of the waters around Susongchang and the transportation of some military supplies.

As for Yan Yingyuan, he had previously led some ships of the Qinglongying to practice in Nanyang, followed Zheng Hongkui to participate in the battle to recover Dongfan Island, the battle to capture Luzon and Visayas, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Qinglongying.

But in the future, the Qinglong Battalion of the Imperial Forest Army might not have much use for it, so Zhu Yuxi transferred it to the Pacific Navy.

The generals of the Yulin Army were transferred outside and promoted to a higher level according to the rules, so Yan Yingyuan became the general officer.

In fact, Yan Yingyuan is the most ideal admiral of the Eastern Navy in Zhu Yuxi's mind.

Zheng Cai was given the first post of admiral because of Yan Yingyuan's lack of qualifications, and Zheng Cai's years of experience in handling trade with Japan in the Zheng family.

The primary purpose of Aimee Zhu's establishment of the Oriental Navy was to expand trade with Japan and even lease ports.

Then, based on the nautical information she obtained from later generations, she explored the waterway from Daming to North America via the North Pacific Ocean, and escorted Daming to open up the Americas.
