Chapter 43 The Governor's Palace of Luzon

According to the textbook, the most important feature of the system of government soldiers is the unity of military and agricultural soldiers. Government soldiers usually train farmers who cultivate land, and join the army to fight during wartime.

Throughout history, before our party took to the historical stage, the military system established by Yuwen Tai was the military system that best inspired the martial spirit of the Chinese people.

After the establishment of the system of government troops, it took more than 200 years of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties to forge two centuries with the most abundant martial ethics of the Chinese nation. The Tang army with government troops as the core traversed the world, successively eliminated the Eastern Turks, Western Turks, Gaochang, Xueyantuo, Baekje, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun and other extremely valuable opponents, established a great empire across Central Asia, and opened another peak era of Chinese civilization!

At that time, the literati dreamed of joining the army and going to the border to seek merit. For example, Yang Jiong said, "It would be better to be a centurion than to be a scholar."

Wang Wei said, "Forgot to leave Fengque, and serve the country and take the Longcheng. How can I learn from scholars? Is it that the old man in the window?

Cen Shen said, "Famousness and fame are only taken from the right time, and she is really a hero for her husband!"

At that time, men's romance was, "Don't laugh at me when I lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war in ancient times?"

At that time, the ambition of Chinese men was to "wear golden armor when fighting with yellow sand and never return it until it was destroyed"!

How magnificent?! The men of the Tang Dynasty were so full of martial ethics that even after a thousand years, they were still magnificent, which made future generations excited!

It is not without coincidence that the Tianbao Rebellion occurred less than ten years later, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty came to an end...

As a result, civil officials and military commanders in later generations regarded the "official soldiers" as a good medicine for strengthening the army. Whenever they talked about the border affairs that were revived, they would mention the reconstruction of the prefecture soldiers system. Taizu of this dynasty was even a supporter of the prefecture soldiers system, and the ward system he set up was imitated by the prefecture soldiers system.

But the effect is a world of difference. The Ming Dynasty, which relies on the military forces, became a big man... Dozens of Japanese pirates could fight from Songjiang to the city of Nanjing, which scared more than 100,000 "despicable army" in the city to the city. Fortunately, those with knowledgeable people such as Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou no longer counted on the military forces and began to recruit soldiers. Da Meng could really become a difficult brother with Da Meng.

Then why are they all a system of unity between soldiers and farmers, but the gap between the government and military institutions and the military institutions is so big?

Because there is a fundamental difference between the two. The economic basis of the military system is the equal-field system.

The equal-field system was a system of allocating land according to population implemented from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. The system of government soldiers was to select troops from the self-cultivated farmers and small landlords who obtained the land. These government soldiers could receive preferential treatment for the whole family's tax exemption, and their economic and social status were also high, so they naturally shared the same weal and woe with the country.

The land cultivated by the garrison station Ding belongs to the garrison station in name but actually belongs to the officers. Moreover, the military households have to serve as soldiers for generations, so ordinary military households are simply serfs. The garrison station usually bears heavy rent and brings their own dry food to the country to fight war? Who can bear it?

Therefore, there will inevitably be a large number of escapes. Many of the coast guards are soldiers from military households and are as brave and good at fighting. Therefore, the poor guards are not a problem with people at all, but a major problem with the system.

In fact, the demise of the Tang Dynasty's government system was precisely because the annexation became increasingly serious and the land could no longer be allocated according to the population, so the equal-field system could only be abolished. The people had no cake share, only the border struggles, so the government system naturally could not be carried out...

But Zhao Hao has some cake sharing! On the Luzon Island alone, there are more than 100 million mu of arable land, and it is also basic volcanic ash soil, which is not as fat as it is. The land is equal and the land is enough to be distributed to tens of millions of Chinese people!

And this is just a Luzon island, as well as Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, New Guinea, and the island of terrible...

It's enough to be used to equalize the land for two hundred years!

If not enough, there is still the North American continent...

Zhao Hao's ambitious century-old immigration was based on the ability to "equal land for two hundred years". At a time when the Ming Dynasty was extremely serious and the poor had no place to stand, he firmly believed that his path was correct and could be done!

Of course, no matter how bright the future is, the meal will still have to be eaten one bite at a time.

Mr. Zhao wiped off his saliva... Oh no, tears, and finally turned his attention to the Spaniards.

The Spanish royal city still stands in front of you, and the cannons from Santiago Castle are still aiming at the river. What's even more troublesome is that the Spanish strongholds are still spread throughout the central plains of Luzon, and they will not drive all the invaders out of Luzon. All the major policies of equalizing fields, government soldiers, and immigration cannot be implemented.

The day after the funeral, he personally presided over the next phase of the combat meeting. In addition to the coast guard officers and soldiers, there were also members of the parliamentary committee of the Governor General's Office of Luzon.

The Jiangnan Group has accumulated rich experience to properly arrange the distribution of power and daily operations of the Governor's Office of Luzon.

First of all, according to Zhao Hao's consistent principle of separation of military and political affairs, the Governor's Office does not directly manage the soldiers, and its power lies in internal affairs such as administration and justice.

Secondly, the Governor is only a representative of the Governor's Office and does not exercise power directly. The real administrative power of the Governor's Office is in the hands of the civil service system sent by the Jiangnan Group. The Governor is just a noble human seal.

Jiangnan Education Group is now full of peaches and plum blossoms. Every year, it continuously transmits a large number of outstanding talents to the group. After the group's training, some of these interns will be assigned to the city halls of Xingang, Renminbi, Keelung, Fengshan, Hong Kong, Sanya, and the Taiwan Special Administrative Region Management Committee to be responsible for specific administrative affairs.

As the scale of these administrative personnel continued to expand, the group had to set up a civil service management committee affiliated with the board of directors to manage thousands of administrative personnel in the six cities of this district, who were also called "civil servants".

In the civil service system, the future Governor General's Office will refer to the structure of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region and will be governed by the Governor General's Office to achieve governance over Luzon. As for the highest legislative power, it is in the hands of the group, but it also gives the people the right to supervise and participate in politics and discuss the regime.

When the People's City was established, Zhao Hao gave the definition of the people as the legal citizens living in administrative regions and municipalities under his jurisdiction, called the people. The people's power to supervise and participate in politics and the power to participate in politics is realized by representatives of the parliamentary committee.

In accordance with the "Regulations on the Council of the Governor General of Luzon (Tentative)" formulated by Jiangnan Group, the people of Luzon elected a number of famous review representatives according to procedures to comprehensively supervise all matters in the Governor General of Luzon and the municipality under their jurisdiction, and may make suggestions on anything. The relevant departments must give written replies within a time limit.

If the review representative is not satisfied with the reply, he can also write to the board of directors of Nanhai Group. If it cannot be resolved, he can also write to the board of directors of Jiangnan Group. If it cannot be resolved, the board of directors of Jiangnan Group will make a written explanation to ensure that the voice of the review representative can be smoothly transmitted to the top level of the group.

This kind of seat that doesn't have to work and just point fingers is simply the favorite of the gentry.

According to the provisions of the "Articles of Association", the Parliament will be replaced once every five years. Only those who must be registered in the Governor's Office or municipality under their jurisdiction for more than five years are eligible to be elected as the Parliament representative.

Therefore, the first evaluation representative was directly nominated by Tang Baolu, director of Nanhai Group.

Currently, there are only five representatives who have evaluated, including Liu Xuesheng, Gao Erye, Huang Song, the son of Huang San's father-in-law, and Chen Mei's younger brother Chen Jiang... The latter two have already replaced their father and brother who died and assumed the responsibility of overseas Chinese leaders.

There is another representative who was left to the coast guard force, and Ximen Qing is currently the one who is responsible for his life and death. We are all comrades who have experienced life and death together, so we should be more happy to cooperate.

At the combat meeting, the commentators spoke enthusiastically, introducing the situation of the Spaniards to Zhao Hao, Jin Ke and others.

They told Zhao Hao and the senior coast guard that three years ago, the red-haired ghost destroyed the original Luzon Sultanate, and began to wipe out the traces of the original Sudan and the Tianfang Sect. Because there were too many people killed, in order to prevent the indigenous people from rebelling, they paid special attention to the construction of the royal city.

Not only did the 960-acre old royal city be reconstructed into a stone wall, a stone castle was also built in the northwest corner of the city.

Compared with the outer city, the defense of the stone castle is even more exaggerated. The castle walls are 1 meter thick and 4 meter high. They also have towers and forts. There are moats built outside the city, and the defense is extremely perfect and almost impossible to break. When the enemy breaks through the outer city, the Spaniards will retreat here to defend and wait for assistance. There are wells and sufficient supplies inside, so it will be no problem for a year.

"No wonder they closed the city gate and did not go out to fight. It turned out that there was a turtle shell that could shrink." Wu Da said in a muffled voice.

If he sieges the city, his three Marines will naturally be the main force. The huge casualties that may occur will make him snatch the teeth.

"Who are there in the city?" Zhao Hao suddenly asked.

"All of them are red-haired ghosts. According to the law of red-haired ghosts, only the legal 'blanos'... are white people who can live in the royal city." Liu Xuesheng replied.

"What is a white man? Are I like this?" Pan Jinlian asked confidently. His skin was indeed very white, especially compared to this group of guys who were roasted into brown by the subtropical sun, it was even more white.

"Classians look at their bloodline, not their skin color. I think many red-haired ghosts have black skin." Liu Xuesheng explained: "According to the laws promulgated by the red-haired ghosts, white people include red-haired ghosts born in Spain; offspring of red-haired ghost men and foreign women, as well as those foreign women who gave birth to their children, are eligible to live in the royal city."

"Aren't Mexicans okay?" Zhao Hao asked in shock.

"Young Master refers to those New Spanish?" Liu Xuesheng asked in a daze.

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded.

"They can only guard the city as guards. If they set up a family, they still have to settle down outside the city." Liu Xuesheng said: "In addition to them, only we Han people can enter the royal city to work, but we must return to our residence in the stream at sunset."

"This group of bastards started playing racism so early." Zhao Hao spat: "Bah, disgusting!"
