Wanli 1592

Chapter 392 The Thriving Myanmar Town

Yuan Huang has a thorough understanding of the disadvantages of the current system of the Ming Dynasty, so he suggested Xiao Ruxun more than once to establish a military academy, but Xiao Ruxun looked at the number of people and troops under his hands, smiled, and just looked at Yuan Huang, Yuan Huang looked at Myanmar's population statistics policy and couldn't help laughing.

With a population of 100 million and a sparsely populated area, development is strenuous, so what kind of military academy is there?Take it easy!
But that’s not to say it’s not good. On the contrary, it’s a very necessary move that has been included in Xiao Ruxun’s plan. However, the most important mainstream in Myanmar is still construction, not democracy.

The [-] troops and the existing officers are almost enough for the current use, and we will talk about these when more troops are really needed.

As for the training of the army and the improvement and maintenance of combat effectiveness, it is also very important. No matter how elite the army is, it is difficult to maintain combat effectiveness if it does not fight, but Xiao Ruxun has a way.

He spent a lot of time expanding the navy, and then undertook the mission requests of merchants from many small countries in Southeast Asia in the name of the Daming Navy, dispatched the navy to fight against pirates, or escorted those merchant ships, from the beginning of the 24th year of Wanli until now, escorting The mission has been in the works for almost two years.

In two years, the Ming army fought pirates on the seas of Southeast Asia no less than [-] times, and dispatched troops more than [-] times. Basically every soldier participated in a sea battle with pirates, and built a great reputation in the South China Sea.

After the three major battles to suppress bandits at sea, the three relatively fierce and famous pirate fleets in the South China Sea were wiped out by the navy regiments of the Ming army. The businessman rejoiced.

Up to now, there are still pirates, but there is no large-scale organized pirate group. Basically, pirates will retreat when they see a ship with a "Ming" or "Xiao" flag flying on it, and dare not approach it.

The prestige of Ming Dynasty continued to be maintained in Nanyang, and its influence grew day by day.

However, Xiao Ruxun did not have any good training targets for land warfare. He could only use training to make up for the lack of actual combat. The main reason was that the previous battle was so fierce that the Ming army could not find anyone on this land who dared to resist. His opponents all surrendered, and they didn't dare to resist at all. Without resistance, there would be no war. Xiao Ruxun could only pull the troops out to take turns in naval battles to maintain combat effectiveness and combat intuition.

Yuan Huang single-handedly took over all the government affairs of Myanmar, and served as the director of the Zhennanhou Mansion Government Affairs Office established by Xiao Ruxun, including the government affairs of the eight cities under the jurisdiction of the Government Affairs Office, and took overall control of the situation.

In order to better develop Myanmar, Xiao Ruxun set up a government office two years ago, including the eight cities currently settled by Han people, and let Yuan Huang be in charge of unified management, because there is no appointment by the imperial court, and there is no formal division of states and counties. The important thing is that there is no need to establish prefectures and counties. The settlements of the Han people are only in the areas around the eight cities.

So simply take the eight cities as the basic administrative units, each city has a mayor and two deputy mayors, one should be configured like the county government of Ming Dynasty, but the name is different, it can be regarded as avoiding the minefield, so as not to drop the population In fact, Yuan Huang was in charge of the eight mayors. Yuan Huang ordered all the administrative orders, and the eight mayors were responsible for implementing them. Moreover, Yuan Huang was also assigned the power to directly command the police force. The command power was handed over to Yuan Huang.

I am in charge of the military?

This was Yuan Huang's initial thought.

Then he declined - I don't hold military power, I am a civil servant.

Xiao Ruxun explained - you are the person I trust the most, and I am very relieved to entrust the police force to you to manage and command, and the most important thing is that the police force does not belong to the army, it is equivalent to a government servant, but it is more standardized And unification, the combat effectiveness is not far from the regular army, and it is not bad to be used as an army in an emergency.

The key point is that the police are responsible for maintaining law and order in the city. In the embryonic stage of the city's development, the police are needed to maintain law and order. The police are not responsible for fighting. Strictly speaking, they do not belong to the army, so they are not considered to have military power. Avoid suspicion, just master it.

Yuan Huang was very grateful and took over the command of the police.

The eight mayors and sixteen deputy mayors are all naturalized officials from various small countries. They have practical experience and have passed Xiao Ruxun's assessment to take up the positions. Pay attention to it, and think that this is the first step to return to Ming Dynasty.

Many officials who came to Myanmar Town from small countries in Southeast Asia look at it this way. They all have no fame. If they were not in Myanmar Town, they would not be able to become official officials in any place in Ming Dynasty. Officials under the jurisdiction, but the actual power is the same as official officials, that is, officials.

If they hold tight to the thighs of Zhennanhou Mansion, there will be good development in the future - this is their common wish.

As the master of more than 100 million people and [-] troops, Xiao Ruxun's daily tasks are relatively busy. Except for some necessary development plans discussed with Yuan Huang, he mainly leads the guards around, Wander around and in eight cities, supervise the training of the army, observe the law enforcement of the police force, inspect the administration of the mayor and deputy mayor, and gain an in-depth understanding of the living conditions of the people at the bottom.

Xiao Ruxun was very happy to learn that the people in Myanmar Town were very satisfied with their lives and lived the life they dreamed of without going hungry.

What the people really want is very little. The most basic thing is that as long as there is land to eat enough, they will work honestly and work hard. The land that does not produce much food under the control of the Burmese natives, Under their hands, they can produce food several times or even ten times, so much that they can't believe it. Corn and rice are backlogged in every farmer's home, and they are almost unable to pile up.

For this reason, Xiao Ruxun also suggested that these farmers raise some poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, and introduced a batch of poultry from the mainland of Daming to distribute to farmers for breeding, allowing them to use the surplus grain to raise these poultry to enrich them. The dining table is rich in Myanmar's products.

Under Xiao Ruxun's full care, Myanmar's agriculture has developed rapidly. With only a few hundred thousand laborers, this grain output has almost reached the level of some provinces with a small population in Ming Dynasty, which can fully satisfy all For the needs of the population, the extra part can be used to raise livestock. This is a dream scene that can't be dreamed of in my hometown.

People living here have no doubt that Myanmar Town will lead to a more prosperous and powerful road under the leadership of the Lord.
